Double-digit volume growth in Parachute and Saffola
Marico reported top-line growth of 33% yoy to `1,049cr (`787cr), higher than our
estimates, driven by a mix of value growth and volume growth with core brands
Parachute (Rigids) and Saffola posting volume growth of 10% and ~15%,
respectively, for the quarter. Irrespective of a ~32% price hike in Parachute and
~12% in Saffola, the company managed to report impressive volume growth due
to rise in its marketing initiatives and launch of budget packs in Parachute. The
company’s market share in the branded coconut oil segment in India stood at
52.3% until June 2011. In the hair oil category, the company launched Parachute
Advanced Ayurvedic hot oil, Parachute Advanced Ayurvedic cooling oil and
Parachute Advanced Ayurvedic hair oil, all of which performed well and gained
market share during the quarter.
During the quarter, Saffola grew by ~15% yoy in volume. The brand, which was
earlier in the healthy and premium edible oil category, has been extended to
premium variety of rice under the brand Saffola Arise. It has also ventured into the
breakfast cereal category with oats under the brand name Saffola Oats. Both the
products have generated good response in the market. The company plans to
enter the healthy food segment in the near future.

Earnings steady despite margins pressure…
In terms of earnings, Marico posted growth of 15% yoy to `85cr (`74cr),
primarily due to robust top line. Earnings for 1QFY2012 are not comparable, as
the company had made a provision of excise duty during 1QFY2011 on coconut
oil sold in packs up to 200ml. The company has discounted this provision and
disclosed it as a contingent liability.

OPM down 148bp yoy as GM contracts by 549bp yoy
Marico again witnessed a sharp contraction in its gross margin by 549bp yoy as
copra, rice bran oil, safflower oil and HDPE prices trended high. Hence, the
company’s OPM declined by 148bp yoy. The company managed to curtail the
slippage in OPM by reducing ad spends and other expenditure.

Investment arguments
Impressive volume growth across categories /strong pricing power: We expect
Marico to post healthy volume in its core brands in FY2012E. The company
has not witnessed significant slowdown in volume growth despite steep price
hikes. Over the past few months, raw–material prices have been softening; so,
we do not expect any steep price hikes further. Although margins will not
improve significantly due to the softening of raw-material prices, but we
believe they are likely to stabilise going forward.
International business gaining momentum: International business now
comprises ~23% to the company’s top line. Marico maintains its leadership
position in different categories in different regions. The recently acquired ICP
in Vietnam is expected to contribute ~ 5% to the company’s top line.
We believe the international business will grow at a ~31% CAGR over
FY2011–13E.
Outlook and valuation
Marico’s volume growth in its key product categories has been impressive despite
the price hikes taken. We have factored in an ~18% CAGR over FY2011–13E in its
focus brands and expect the company’s international business to grow at a strong
~30% CAGR over FY2011–13E, with the recent acquisition in Vietnam contributing
~5% to the top line in FY2012E and FY2013E. At the CMP of `167, the stock is
trading at 25.x FY2013E. We believe the stock is fairly priced and, hence, we
recommend Neutral on the stock.
Key risks to our argument: 1) A sharp rise in key raw-material prices will drag
down the margins 2) Lower demand in coconut hair oil due to price hikes
3) Increased competitive intensity in the core categories, 4) International business
not gaining momentum as expected
