MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO’S COMMENTS
Commenting on the business performance of 4Q FY 2022, Sudhir Sitapati, Managing Director and CEO, GCPL, said: We delivered a weak performance in 4Q FY 2022. Overall sales grew by 7% and our full year sales grew in double-digits. However, this growth was driven by pricing. We continue to believe that with the relatively non-discretionary, mass pricing of our portfolio and very good performance on market shares, volume growth will return in the medium term. Our overall EBITDA declined by 9% (without one-offs) driven by unprecedented global commodity inflation and scale deleverage in Indonesia. PAT without exceptional items and one-offs declined by 4%. From a category perspective, we saw a strong performance in Personal Care, which grew by 18%. Home Care delivered a weak performance and declined by 7%. From a geography perspective, India grew at 9%. Our Africa, USA and Middle East business continued its robust growth trajectory, growing at 15% in INR and 14% in constant currency terms. Performance in our Indonesian business was weak, declining by 15% in INR and 16% in constant currency terms. We continue to have a healthy balance sheet and our net debt to equity ratio continues to come down. We are on a journey to reduce inventory and wasted cost and are deploying this to drive profitable and sustainable volume growth across our portfolio through category development. We remain committed to our purpose of bringing the goodness of health and beauty to consumers in emerging markets. We were recently ranked amongst BW Businessworld’s list of India’s top 10 sustainable companies for the second year in a row.

EBITDA margins, though sequentially higher, contracted by 1,380 bps year-on-year due to higher commodity inflation, adverse mix, scale deleverage and a high base. We continue to put building blocks in place to drive category development and general trade distribution expansion.
BUSINESS UPDATE – AFRICA, USA AND MIDDLE EAST
Our Africa, USA and Middle East cluster delivered a broad based double-digit sales growth of 14% in constant currency terms (2-year CAGR of 24%). Our strong sales growth momentum continues in Southern Africa and West Africa.
