11. CONCLUSION
• The learning from the project of analyzing the top five companies of FMCG Sector we came
to know about several factors about the financial performance of the companies in last five
years by using five variables i.e. sales, net profit, assets, liabilities, expense.
• We have used the pivot table for cross analysis of all the companies to know the financial
position of the company as ITC is a top performer in all aspect as it have high amount of
assets, net profit and the sales figures. On the other hand they focus on reducing their expense
figure with the category of depreciation, finance cost also of ITC & Marico. But we also came
to know that company do not make any compromise on their employees part as the employees
benefit expense increases because it directly impact the business productivity & overall
performance.
• We have taken Nestle company for our analysis in which we came to know Nestle has
suffered huge loss because of the Maggi incident as they all of sudden lose their market share
but Nestle has outperformed in framing the business strategy which help them a lot in gaining
their market share as well as their customer base. The company incurred a huge amount in
promotional and advertisement aspects of the company that directly impacts the customer
psychology for trusting ion Nestle brand again.
• One of the important learning from this project is how the small company can compete with
existing brand and tab the sufficient market share which Marico has proved in last 5 years.
They reduce their expense and increase their operating efficiency which indirectly leads
Marico to grow their operating as well as net profit margin.
