We met the management of Marico Ltd. Key takeaways from the interaction-
Marico has medium-term volume growth aspiration of ~8% (versus revenue growth of 8% in FY2013-2023). We like the ambition to grow faster on a larger base,
in Parachute coconut oil, with stability in copra price and revival in rural consumption, volume growth is likely to improve,
competitive intensity at the bottom of pyramid segment in value-added hair oil has normalised. This along with incremental thrust on premiumisation may help value growth in value added hair oil to gradually improve,
in edible oil, Saffola expects to hold threshold margin while maintaining stable growth,
revenue from food segment is expected to be more than edible oil business over the medium term. This may reduce operating margin volatility due to reduced exposure to cyclical commodity price,
on direct-to-consumer brands, incremental focus would be on profitable scale-up by using distribution and marketing strength.
