or analyst but would like to ask questions, please directly reach out to Marico's Investor
Relations team.
I now hand the conference over to Mr. Saugata Gupta. Thank you, and over to you.
Saugata Gupta: Good evening, everyone, and thanks for joining the call. I'll start with a perspective on the
operating environment during the quarter gone by, after which I'll cover our performance,
strategic priorities and our outlook going forward. During the quarter, macro environment
globally remained volatile with supply chain disruptions and increasing energy costs impacting
economic activity. Despite these global headwinds, India continued to demonstrate resilience
backed by strong underlying fundamentals.
Domestic demand remained healthy and economic activity continued to expand. While there
was a rise in consumer inflation led by food and a marginal fuel price hike, it remained within
RBI's threshold. On the other hand, some of the international economies where we are operating
have experienced some transient headwinds due to ongoing geopolitical development in the form
of inflation and other costs.
Moving on to our performance. We have started the year on a very strong note with a
consolidated revenue growth of 23% and EBITDA and PAT growth of 25%, making our highest
profit growth in the last 28 quarters. The India business delivered one of the strongest quarters
in recent years with 11% volume growth and revenue growth of 21%, led by robust momentum
in core business and continued scale-up of new growth engines.
Over 96% of the business continued to gain or sustain market share and over 99% of the business
continued to gain or sustain penetration on a MAT basis. The strong brand performance was
well complemented by sharp execution across channels. Both general trade and modern trade
recorded double-digit growth. The success of Project SETU continued to strengthen our general
trade execution, driving wider reach, superior assortment quality, improved service levels and
therefore, improved ROI for our distribution partners.
Quick commerce continued its accelerated scale up, reporting more than 50% growth for our
core business. It now contributes to around 5% of India business revenues, excluding digital
brands, and all digital channels put together account to over 20% of India business revenues.

International business reported 15% constant currency growth, led by outperformance in
Vietnam and MENA.
Talking about our bottom-line performance, gross margin expanded 30 basis points year-on-
year, led by softer copra prices, a favourable channel and portfolio mix coming from our strong
growth in premium portfolio, GT growth and profitable scale up of our food and digital-first
portfolio. Advertising and sales promotion expenses grew substantially at 25% as we continue
to invest significantly behind our brands to strengthen their long-term equity, support innovation,
some of the big innovations we have launched this quarter, and drive consumer salience.
EBITDA margin improved 40 basis points year-on-year to 20.7%. Overall, this was a very strong
quarter for us, made even noteworthy as it builds on a high base from the corresponding period
last year. On a two-year basis, volume, revenue and profit after tax have compounded at 10%,
23% and 17%, respectively, reflecting the strength of our portfolio, brands, execution prowess
and our resilience.
Let us now touch upon the key trends across our domestic business. Parachute Rigids delivered
10% volume growth with strongest performance in the last 20 quarters and gained over 400 basis
points in volume share, marking a new high. Revenue grew 23%, reflecting the anniversarization
of prior year price increases and pricing actions done during the quarter as we proactively passed
on value to the consumers in non-price point large packs amid softening in copra prices. Beyond
the strong quarterly outcome, the performance underscores the enduring strength of the franchise
and the competitive advantage we have built in supply chain compared to smaller players over
decades. Our expertise in managing commodity cycles, combined with a differentiated supply
chain and sharp execution enables us to respond faster to market changes based on a lot of
learnings over the past few cycles where we have taken price drops.
Value-added hair oils continued its strong momentum, delivering 22% value growth led by mid-
and premium segment. Mid and premium hair oils portfolio contributed close to high teens
volume growth, this is the profitable part of the mix. We continue to gain market share
handsomely. Further, we are seeing encouraging progress in our almond oil franchise, and our
aim is to build it to INR100 crores plus ARR franchise by FY28.Our performance in VAHO
reflects the growing strength of our premium portfolio, supported by sustained investment in
innovation, premiumization and distribution expansion - VAHO has benefited immensely
from Project SETU.
Saffola Edible Oil delivered 7% revenue growth during the quarter as we implemented calibrated
pricing actions in response to further increase in input costs. The business reported a high single-
digit volume decline as we rationalized supply of select variants in certain channels to maintain
threshold profitability in the trade-off with volume growth. Our diversification agenda continues
to gather momentum. The combined Foods and Premium Personal Care portfolio, including
digital-first brands, has achieved significant scale and is increasingly becoming an important
contributor to our growth.
