Media Statement

August 01, 2024

Standalone Financial Results for the Quarter ended 30[th] June, 2024

Highlights

  • Gross Revenue up 7.3% YoY in a challenging operating environment, driven by Hotels, Value Added Agri products and Leaf Tobacco. FMCG – Others and Cigarettes delivered resilient performance amidst subdued demand conditions. While green shoots of demand recovery emerged during the quarter in the Paperboards, Paper & Packaging segment, performance remained impacted largely due to cheap Chinese supplies in international markets including India and a surge in domestic wood prices.

  • Resilient performance in FMCG – Others, amidst muted demand conditions and extreme heatwave in parts of the country

  • Segment Revenue and PBIT up 6.3% and 10.4% YoY respectively on a high base (2-yr CAGR 11.1% and 52.8% respectively)

  • Staples, Snacks, Dairy, Personal Wash, Fragrances, Homecare and Agarbatti drive growth

  • Segment EBITDA Margin expanded 25 bps YoY to 11.3%; sequential uptick in prices witnessed in certain commodities.

  • Cigarettes Net Segment Revenue up 7% and Segment PBIT up 6.5% YoY

  • Continued focus on portfolio/market interventions & agile execution to reinforce market standing

    • Differentiated and premium offerings continued to perform well
  • Sustained volume claw back from illicit trade on the back of deterrent actions by enforcement agencies and relative stability in taxes.

  • Hotels Segment Revenue up 10.9% YoY; Segment PBIT up 11.5% YoY

  • Robust performance despite fewer wedding dates and extreme heatwave/elections impacting domestic travel & out-of-home dining

  • ITC Ratnadipa[1] , Colombo launched in April’24; receives excellent guest response and widespread appreciation; 225 rooms and 8 F&B outlets are currently operational

  • Strong customer relationships and agile execution drive growth in Leaf Tobacco & Value Added Agri products

  • Paperboards, Paper and Packaging Segment performance reflects the impact of low-priced Chinese supplies in global markets including India, muted domestic demand conditions and surge in wood prices

  • Subdued realisations, surge in domestic wood prices and ocean freight continue to weigh on margins

  • Capacity augmentation/debottlenecking projects successfully completed during the quarter; Segment performance includes the impact of shutdown/stabilisation related costs pertaining to these initiatives

  • Green shoots of recovery in domestic demand ahead of the festive season; Net realisation rates for Value Added Paperboard (VAP) grades witness sequential improvement

    • Strategic interventions, including sharp focus on portfolio augmentation, export customer/market development & structural cost management, continue to be made to mitigate near term challenges.

Amidst a challenging macro-economic and operating environment as stated above, and high base effect in some of its operating segments, the Company delivered resilient performance during the quarter. Gross Revenue stood at Rs. 18,077 crores representing a growth of 7.3% YoY. PBT (before exceptional items) and PAT stood at Rs. 6,555 crores and Rs. 4,917 crores respectively. Earnings Per Share for the quarter stood at Rs. 3.94.

While Private Consumption expenditure remains relatively subdued, the Indian economy continues to be extremely resilient amidst a global growth slowdown on the back of multi-dimensional and purposeful policy interventions by the Government, with sustained public expenditure in creating physical, digital, agri and rural infrastructure.

India continues to be acknowledged as one of the fastest growing major economies in the world with significant headroom for growth over the medium and long-term. A favourable demographic profile, increasing affluence, rapid urbanisation and accelerated digital adoption represent some of the key structural drivers of growth of the Indian economy.

The recently announced Union Budget 2024-25 provides a strong impetus to engender a virtuous cycle of investment and employment whilst ensuring macro-economic stability and enabling inclusive growth. Several far-sighted proposals address crucial areas such as employment and employability, MSMEs, climate emergency and next-generation agriculture. The nine priority areas, together with the roadmap for nextgeneration reforms, provide a directional thrust to the nation’s journey of economic transformation.

Moderating inflation, improving agri terms of trade, expectation of normal monsoons and the Government's thrust on public infrastructure & the rural sector augur well for a pick-up in consumption demand, building on the green shoots of recovery that are visible in rural markets.

FMCG – OTHERS

  • The FMCG Businesses delivered resilient performance amidst muted demand conditions with Segment Revenue growing 6.3% YoY to Rs. 5491 crores on a high base (2-yr CAGR +11.1%) ; Segment EBITDA margins expanded 25 bps YoY to 11.3%

  • Staples, Snacks, Dairy, Personal Wash, Fragrances, Homecare and Agarbatti drive growth .

Agri Business Segment Revenues up 22.2% driven by value added agri products, leaf tobacco and wheat

  • In line with the overall strategy of scaling-up the value-added agri portfolio, the Business delivered strong growth in exports of Spices and Coffee. The Business continues to leverage the multidimensional capabilities of its state-of-the-art value-added Spices processing facility in Guntur to scale up exports.

  • Agility in operations, strong customer relationships and new business development enabled robust growth in leaf tobacco exports. Steep escalation in green leaf procurement prices weighed on margins which was partially mitigated by strategic cost management initiatives. The AI/ML powered real-time buying platform continues to be scaled up to facilitate efficient leaf tobacco buying across auction platforms.

  • Geopolitical dynamics and climate emergencies have led to concerns over food security and food inflation globally. To ensure India remains food secure and food inflation is controlled, the Government has imposed trading restrictions on agri commodities from time to time; consequently limiting business opportunities in the bulk commodity space.

  • ITCMAARS (Metamarket for Advanced Agriculture and Rural Services) – a crop-agnostic ‘phygital’ full stack AgriTech platform has been scaled up across ten states. Over 1650 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) encompassing more than 1.5 million farmers have been added to the Company’s network.

PAPERBOARDS, PAPER & PACKAGING

The performance in the Paperboards, Paper & Packaging Segment reflects the impact of low-priced Chinese supplies in global markets including India, muted domestic demand, unprecedented increase in domestic wood costs; Segment Revenue declined 6.8% YoY

  • Subdued realisations, surge in domestic wood prices and ocean freight continues to impact margins; structural advantages of the integrated business model, Industry 4.0 initiatives, strategic investments in High Pressure Recovery Boiler and proactive capacity augmentation in Value Added Paperboards aided in partly mitigating pressure on margins.

  • Certain capacity augmentation/debottlenecking projects were successfully completed during the quarter; Segment performance includes the impact of such planned shutdown/stabilisation related costs pertaining to these initiatives.

5

  • Green shoots of recovery in domestic demand were visible ahead of the festive season; Value Added Paperboard (VAP) grades witnessed sequential improvement in net realisation rates.

  • Strong growth witnessed in speciality paper segment aided by recent capacity addition in Décor Paper, despite muted demand from the construction industry.

  • Business continued its sharp focus on portfolio augmentation, export customer/market development and structural cost management to mitigate near term challenges.

  • The Packaging and Printing Business continues to focus on accelerating new business development in domestic and export markets offering innovative and customised solutions.
