Marico Q4 expectations
Price hikes in core portfolios and mid-teen CC growth in international business is likely to drive Marico’s revenue higher by 17% year-on-year (YoY), according to various analyst estimates. Marico’s domestic business volume growth is likely to be in the range of 5-7%, driven by Foods and Digital, offsetting a slight moderation in Parachute Core and Saffola edible oils.However, margin pressure is likely to weigh on the profits as it is likely to grow by a marginal 3% YoY. EBITDA is estimated to grow 4% YoY in Q4FY25.
“We expect 5% YoY growth in domestic volume value in 4Q, versus 13.4% in 3Q. The improvement in the price mix is driven by price hikes in Parachute and Saffola edible oils, spurred by high RM inflation,” Kotak Equities.The brokerage is building in 2.5% volume growth in Parachute, 3% in Saffola oils, 2% growth in VAHO and (4) 23% growth in Saffola foods. For international business, analysts expect 11% growth.Gross margin is likely to decline 200 bps on a YoY basis to 49.6%. Consequently, EBITDA margin may be down by 250 bps YoY to 16.9%.”We expect consolidated GM to sequentially moderate to 48.7% and EBITDA margin to contract 195 bps YoY to 17.5%. Our estimate implies consolidated EBITDA/PAT growth of 5.4%/7.6% YoY each,” Kotak said.
