RESULT UPDATE HOLD CMP: ````864.7/- MAY 12th, 2015
Summary
HUL declared it Q4FY15 & FY15 results recently. Results were in line with our expectations. For
the quarter the key positives were: 1) 6% underlying volume growth; 2) benign input costs
leading to margin expansion of 200bps at EBIDTA level; 3) Double digit growth in oral care,
Fair & Lovely portfolio & packaged foods segment. The company commentary was tilted
towards a wait and watch scenario on demand revival; while on input cost the outlook going
forward was that of stable to upwards swing on account of rupee depreciation. The key
highlights of the result are as follows:
Key Result Highlights
Net sales grew by 9% YOY to `7555.0 crs. in Q4FY15. Domestic consumer business
recorded volume growth of 6% vs. a similar 3% in corresponding quarter last year.
Growth came on the back of healthy volume growth in the detergents, oral care, & the
packaged foods segment. Topline growth was driven by higher ad and promotional
spends across segment & key activation programs to drive stronger brand awareness
and increase consumer engagement.
Operating profit in Q4FY15 grew by 22.3% YOY to `1318.2 crs. on the back
company’s effective cost management, benign input costs and judicious pricing action.
The raw material costs were lower this quarter. PFAD prices were lower. PFAD prices
corrected 21.5% YOY. Crude oil price fall also has had a favourable impact both
sequentially & YOY as its’ derivatives are used in many of the products. Rupee
depreciation was ~1% YOY and stable sequentially. The company has long covers to
hedge against raw material cost volatility. The outlook for raw material costs continues
to remain volatile. Soft outlook for crude oil prices going into 2015 signals better gross
margins going forward. But the depreciation of rupee going forward will restrict soft
raw material prices benefit pass through. Ad & promotional spends were up by
`188crs. (~22%) in this quarter. OPM’s expanded by 200 bps YOY to 17.2% in
Q4FY15. The company continued its focus on margin improvement.
Reported PAT grew by 16.7% to `1,018.1 crs. Effective tax rate moved up to 37.7%
this quarter on account of capital gains tax on sale of property. For the year the tax
rate was 30% and is expected to move up to 30-33% next year. The exceptional item
of ~`179 crs. this quarter is on account of sale of property.
Risks:
o Volatility in raw material prices
o Rupee depreciation
o Competitive intensity especially in a falling input cost scenario where the smaller
brands have an advantage over organised due to predatory pricing strategies.
o Delay in economic revival
o Delay in monsoon to impact rural demand.
Valuations: Stability in commodity prices and the company’s efforts in the direction
of cost saving initiatives like SKU reorganization to prove beneficial to the profitability.
We expect margins remain strong. We expect the deflationary trend in raw material
prices to prove beneficiary post accounting for part pass through and part plough back
into promotional activities. It continues to trade at rich valuations but we believe the
upside to demand revival leaving scope for further growth pick up. At the CMP of
````864.7/- the stock trades at 42.8X FY16E EPS of ````20.2/- respectively. We advice
investors to HOLD the stock.

Segment-Wise Highlights
Soaps and detergents grew by 5% YOY in Q4. It accounts for 47.9% of sales revenue.
There has been a phase out of excise duty benefits. The company corrected the
inventory pricing in Q3 as the segment witnessed deflationary pressures on the back of
correction in input costs. The segment continued to remain competitive with HUL growing
ahead of market. Liquids grew faster. Surf continued its growth on the back of double
digit volume driven. Rin bars growth back on track. Wheel growth was subdued. This
segment also saw price deflation on account of soft raw material prices. Margins
expanded YOY to 13.3% from 12.1% in the corresponding quarter. For FY15 the
segment recorded a growth of 8.7% driven by a volume growth of 3%. Key milestones
for this segment were that lifebuoy crossed the ~`2000 crs. mark & Surf became the
largest brand for HUL. All three detergent brands are now greater than `2000 crs. The
margins for FY15 were at 13.7% vs. 13.3%.
In the personal care segment which accounts for 29.3% of the topline, grew by
~13.4% on account of growth revival in the Fair & Lovely relaunched SKU. Pond’s SKU
performed well in the premium skin lightening portfolio. Color cosmetics and face
washes and male grooming segment continued their growth trajectory. Hair care grew
on double digits led by volumes. Dove, clinic plus and Sunsilk growth led by bottle and
TRESemme continued to make good progress. Growth in oral care returned with Close
up growing at a healthy double digit. Lakme continued healthy growth trajectory with
the launch of 9 to 5 Eyeconic range and the new gloss addict range. Margins in this
segment were at 27.8% vs. 25%. For FY15 this segment saw a growth of ~11% with
volumes growth in the range of 6%. Key achievement of this segment was revival in
growth momentum for Fair & Lovely. Fair & Lovely reached the `2000 crs mark.
Except for Oral care all three other segments i.e. hair, skin & cosmetics saw healthy
growth. Margins expanded from 25.5% to 26.9%.
Beverages which constitute 12.7% of revenues grew by 12.3%. Pricing growth faded.
Tea continued to grow at healthy double digits. Mix and activation helped drive
growth. Red Label & 3 roses drove volume growth. Margins were lower at 18.6% vs.
18.8%. The green teas drove growth. Coffee portfolio growth stepped up. Coffee
grew by double digit on the back of value added premium offerings, Bru Gold. In
Fy15 this segment recorded a growth of 9.7%. Volume grow was at 5%. Growth was
on the back of premium offerings in coffee and the green tea offering in the tea
segment. Margins were lower at 16.9% vs. 17.5%.
Packaged foods which constitute 6.2% of revenues grew by 13.1%. Knorr growth was
driven was overall with soups doubling. Kissan sustained strong growth momentum.
Margins contracted from 5.5% to 5.3%. In FY15 this segment saw growth of 14.8%
driven by healthy 10% volume growth. This segment saw various activation programs
for furthering consumer engagement with the HUL brands. This segment witnessed a

Risks
Volatility in raw material prices
Rupee depreciation
Competitive intensity especially in a falling input cost scenario where the smaller brands
have an advantage over organised due to predatory pricing strategies.
Delay in economic revival
Delay in monsoon to impact rural demand.
Valuation & Outlook
Thought long term growth drivers stay intact we believe valuations are stretched for benign
growth expectation for the next few quarters. H2FY14 was a period when price growth
faded and volume growth constituted 60 to 70% of the overall growth. On this low growth
base period FY15 growth should be viewed with a pinch of salt. Price growth faded into
FY15 and volume growth remains stable in the lower end of the range at 4 to 5% while
consumer sentiment remained weak with rural as well as urban India growth slowed down.
Downtrading and growth in smaller SKU’s is privy to consumer hold back.
We believe the consumer is still waiting to convert the optimism of the new Govt. till the
ground level growth returns. Jobs, coupled with volatile inflation and higher interest rates
are still dampening the demand scenario. Stability in commodity prices and the company’s
efforts in the direction of cost saving initiatives like SKU reorganization to prove beneficial
to the profitability. We expect margins remain strong. We expect the deflationary trend in
raw material prices to prove beneficiary post accounting for part pass through and part
plough back into promotional activities. It continues to trade at rich valuations but we believe
the upside to demand revival leaving scope for further growth pick up. At the CMP of ````864.7/-
the stock trades at 42.8x FY16E EPS of ````20.2/- respectively. We advice investors to HOLD the
stock.
