Dabur’s Q1FY13 numbers were marginally ahead of our estimates, led by strong volume growth (domestic volume up 11.6% YoY against 5.0%, 8.0% and 9.5% in Q2FY12, Q3FY12 and Q4FY12). Key positives were: (i) strong volume growth in domestic business (despite impact of CSD sales); (ii) market share expansion in glucose, Amla hair oil, juices and Fem range; (iii) gross margin expansion after eight quarters of pressure; (iv) revival in shampoo growth; and (v) strong performance in foods portfolio. Key negatives were subdued growth in international business, muted growth in Babool and slowdown in Vatika (due to competitive pressure from coconut hair oils). We like Dabur’s renewed aggression in ad spends, product innovation and packaging. Rural sales (though strong in Q1FY13) may get impacted by monsoon deficiency; however, we believe the company will benefit from its rural distribution ramp up. Maintain ‘BUY’.
Robust growth; ad spends drive volume Dabur’s consolidated Q1FY13 revenue surged 21.4% YoY to INR14.6bn; domestic business posted 16.1% YoY growth, led by a strong 11.6% volume growth. Gross margin expanded 222bps YoY to 50.3%. EBITDA margin remained flat (down 56bps) as gross margin benefit was passed to ad spends (up 307bps). PAT grew 17% YoY; profit margin declined 40bps YoY to 10.2%. Extraordinary loss of INR49mn occurred due to sale of 38.4% stake in Weikfield International (UAE), a loss making subsidiary (non‐core asset).
Strong growth across categories The Consumer Care Division (CCD) posted robust performance with strong surge across categories—hair care registering 10.4% YoY growth (shampoos revived with 23% YoY growth), oral care 8.1% YoY, health supplements 18% YoY, skin care 13.3% YoY, home care 14.4% YoY, digestives 9.8% YoY and OTC & ethicals 12.7% YoY. Foods posted strong growth of 34.5% YoY (led by 37.6% YoY growth in juices). International Business (IB) grew 24% YoY; key growth categories were shampoos, hair cream and toothpaste.
Outlook and valuations: Growing strong; maintain ‘BUY’ At CMP, the stock is trading at 27.3x and 22.6x FY13E and FY14E, respectively. We maintain ‘BUY’ recommendation with ‘Sector Outperformer’ rating on the stock.

Key conference call takeaways • Growth: Domestic business grew 16.1% led by 11.6% YoY spurt in volume. Step‐up in ad
spends helped fuel growth. Dabur expects to clock 10% plus volume growth in FY13E. LUPs (INR10 Babool, INR1 Vatika sachet) contribute INR2.0‐2.5bn to overall sales. Rural sales continue to be ahead of urban, with the former contributing 46% to total revenue.
• Gross margin: Gross margin expanded 222bps YoY to 50.3% due to softening in raw material prices.

• Domestic performance: Domestic business contributed 68% to overall sales, up 16.1% YoY, led by strong 11.6% volume growth (rest pricing led). CCD and foods contribution to domestic revenue is 76% and 18%, respectively. CCD posted a healthy 12% YoY growth (8.5% volume led); however, volumes were impacted due to CSD issue (contributing 7% to CCD revenues). The CSD issue is likely to extend to the next quarter as well. CSD contributes 6% to overall domestic business with major exposure in hair oil (Amla), air fresheners, Chawanprash and little exposure in oral care and foods.
• Health supplements: Health supplements contributed 16% to CCD revenue, growing 18% YoY led by strong growth in Dabur Honey and Glucose. Dabur Honey posted strong growth across channels, regions and SKUs. Glucose posted double digit growth and has gained market share.
• Digestives: This business contributed 8% to CCD revenue; grew 9.8% YoY led by double digit growth in Hajmola backed by new flavours. Pudin Hara and Isapgol, which were earlier classified under OTC category, have been shifted to Digesties; Lal Tail has been reclassified into OTC from Digestives. Pudin Hara, which was backed by packaging and media initiatives, saw robust growth.
• OTC and Ethicals: This business contributed 11% to CCB revenue; grew 12.7%. OTC portfolio (63%) posted 13.5% growth with Lal Tail posting modest growth. Ethicals (37%) grew 11.3%.
• Hair oils: The category growth at 8.4% YoY moderated primarily due to slowdown in Vatika Hair oil owing to high price differential with coconut oils (benefitted from significant decline in coconut oil prices). The company adopted a constant price strategy refusing to take margin hit, which we believe may have some short term pain, but will benefit in the long term. Differentiated offerings like Dabur Amla Hair oil (grew in double digit and posted market share gain) and Almond hair oil posted robust growth. Perfumed oils grew 14% YoY predominantly due to structural shift in hair oils with consumers preferring lighter hair oils. This structural shift will also aid margin improvement as price increase in this segment does not impact volume growth.
• Shampoos: Shampoos revived, clocking growth of 23% YoY. Henna variant, its flagship product, was the best performer, growing at 27.2% despite high competitive environment. The segment is witnessing hardening in prices which has led to margin erosion (however better YoY). The company has increased prices significantly in bottles, though value pack (INR1) remains untouched as it is a major factor driving growth.
• Home care: This segment contributing 7% to CCD revenue posted 14.4% YoY growth, driven by Odomos reporting good growth driven by activations and enhanced brand visibility. Sanifresh posted robust growth due to restage. Odonil registered muted sIngle digit growth across impacted by the CSD issue.
• Skin care: Skin Care grew 13.3% YoY. Dabur Gulabari witnessed good performance owing to relaunch and extensive marketing initiatives. Fem portfolio grew handsomely by 13.4% and gained market share in both bleach and hair removal segments; this growth is sustainable. Dabur plans to focus on Uveda going ahead; will launch new products and develop newer channels (currently only on ground support); it has a long gestation period before mass launch.
• Oral care: Oral Care grew 8.1% YoY with premium toothpastes, Meswak and Dabur Red toothpaste, growing in double digits despite higher pricing compared to Colgate. The discount brand (Babool) was an overhang on the segment due to intense competitive

pressure in this segment; Dabur, to improve margin, broke the popular INR10 price point (major contributor to Babool sales) for Babool which impacted growth. Dabur plans to add value to Babool by offering specialized offerings. The company managed to maintain market share in toothpastes. Management believes low teens growth is satisfactory for this category as it is well penetrated even in rural areas. Dabur Red toothpowder posted strong double digit growth.
• Foods: Foods business posted strong growth of 34.5% led by robust volume growth. Juices gained market share and grew at 37.6% with both Real and Active growing strong driven by new variants, Plum, Pomegranate and Super Berries, launched in the previous quarter. Dabur plans to launch more juice extensions and variants to add fresh taste to this category; it is also enhancing third party capacity and focusing on Sri Lanka plant to meet growing demand. Urban consumption contributes 90‐95% to total sales in this low margin juice business.
Margin pressure in foods business is likely to continue owing to rupee depreciation (70% of contents in juices are imported); volumes will continue to drive growth.
• Debt: Dabur has debt of USD135mn on its books. The cost of debt is 2.5‐3.0% with 4‐5 year repayment cycle. Forex loss of INR46mn owing to MTM losses were booked in the current quarter.
• International business: International business (IB) posted 24% YoY growth with 12% constant currency growth. Extraordinary loss of INR49mn occurred due to sale of 38.4% stake in (non‐core asset) Weikfield International (UAE), a loss making subsidiary. IB performance was impacted due to one‐off upfront expenses in Middle East; A&P spends are likely to cool off from current level, but will be maintained at high level.
Key growth markets were GCC (grew 22% YoY), Nigeria (grew 21% YoY) and Egypt (grew 18% YoY). Shampoos, hair cream and toothpaste were key growth categories. Margin profile of existing business is better than newly acquired businesses. IB margin to see faster revival compared with domestic business.
Namaste is facing slowdown (flattish growth) owing to: (a) slowdown in US market consumption; and (b) relaunch of brand from “organic route stimulator” to “ORS” leading to pipeline issues—company drying up old stock before new products enter the market (reason being organic word registered in other countries which will pose problem to enter these geographies, mainly South Africa). The company is contemplating setting up a manufacturing plant in South Africa to benefit supply chain.

Company Description Dabur has two divisions in India (post integration of consumer care division and consumer health division) apart from its international operations. Consumer care division (CCD) offers a wide range of products in hair care, oral care, health supplements, digestives and candies, baby and skin care products, based on ayurveda, over‐the‐counter (OTC) products, Asavs, and branded ethical, and classic products. CHD division has been merged with CCD to leverage distribution. The second division, Dabur Foods Ltd produces fruit juices, cooking pastes, sauces, and items for institutional food purchases. Dabur is unique among its Consumer Goods peers because of its positioning as an Indian company whose products are derived from exotic sources such as ancient ayurvedic texts and natural ingredients such as herbs. The company has various brand leaders in different market segments ‐ Dabur Chyawanprash, a health tonic, and Hajmola ‐ a digestive tablet. Real, launched during 1996‐97, has also successfully carved its niche in the market.
Investment Theme Dabur’s broad product portfolio provides a good play on Indian FMCG spend by virtue of its strong presence in less penetrated and high growth categories. Dabur’s positioning on the ‘health and wellness’ platform, backed by its ANH (ayurvedic/natural/herbal) image is very progressive. This, combined with its demonstrated ability to create new categories and sub‐categories, makes it well‐placed to capture lifestyle changes‐led growth in the FMCG space. Dabur has also demonstrated its ability to make and integrate smart acquisitions (Balsara) that complement its product portfolio and thereby drive inorganic growth. Improvement in margins of foods and international businesses are expected to result in improvement in margins for the consolidated operations.
Key Risks A slowdown in rural demand due to lower government spending or a monsoon failure could impact Dabur’s revenues significantly. The company’s products such as Dabur Chyawanprash and Dabur Lal Tail are prominently sold in the rural areas, and hence, depend on growth in rural demand. Further rise in competitive intensity in categories like Shampoo, Oral care, OTC and ethical may further put pressure on volumes. Management bandwidth post acquisition in various international geographies is a concern.
