Indian consumer firm Marico expects third-quarter revenue jump
Adds context, share move and details
BENGALURU, Jan 2 (Reuters) - India's Marico MRCO.NS expects third-quarter consolidated revenue to rise in the high twenties percent from a year earlier, as easing inflation and tax cuts have boosted sales, the company said on Friday.
The Saffola oils and Parachute haircare maker has remained resilient despite slowing urban demand as recent tax changes have enabled it to cut prices.
Marico said while its cooking oil business had a muted quarter, its core hair oils segment grew from a year ago. Saffola cooking oils and Parachute coconut hair oils together account for about half of Marico's India revenue.
The company said its premium personal care segment outperformed expectations and added that gross margins are likely to improve further as prices of copra, a key raw material used for coconut oil, eased.
Underlying volume growth in its India business remained in the high single digits, marking a slight improvement from a quarter ago, the company said.
Marico had logged a 15% rise in consolidated revenue to 27.94 billion rupees ($309.8 million) in the third quarter last year.
Its shares settled 0.36% lower on Friday but have risen nearly 6% since the tax changes came into effect on September 22.

India’s Patanjali Foods quarterly profit surges on strong edible oil demand
Oct 31 (Reuters) - India's Patanjali Foods PAFO.NS posted a 67.4% increase in quarterly profit on Friday, on strong demand for its edible oils.
The Sunrich edible oil maker's profit after tax rose to 5.17 billion rupees ($58.82 million) for the quarter ended September 30 from 3.09 billion rupees a year earlier.
Patanjali Foods benefited from a cut in import duty on crude edible oils to 10% from 20%.
The move, aimed at easing inflation and boosting domestic refining, reduced the cost of local processing and supported edible oil makers' margins.
Revenue from Patanjali's edible oils business, which makes up nearly 70% of the total, rose 17.2% during the quarter to 69.72 billion rupees.
The firm also reduced prices on select edible oils, including its ghee, to pass on benefits from a recent cut in goods and services tax to customers.
Larger rivals AWL Agri Business AWLA.NS and Saffola owner Marico MRCO.NS are yet to report results.
Overall revenue increased by 21% to 97.99 billion rupees.
Shares of Patanjali ended 1.2% lower ahead of the results on Friday.

India's Marico beats profit view on steady demand for packaged oil
Adds details throughout
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Indian consumer goods maker Marico MRCO.NS reported a first-quarter profit on Monday that topped analyst expectations, benefiting from steady demand for its cooking and hair oils.
Its consolidated net profit rose nearly 9% to 5.04 billion rupees ($57.51 million) in the April-June quarter, beating analysts' expectations of 4.86 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Domestic volumes rose 9%, led primarily by its Saffola brand cooking oils and hair oils.
Packaged cooking oil, a staple in Indian households, has been largely resistant to a slowdown in sales that has dented the margins of other consumer conglomerates which have a broad portfolio of personal care and household items.
Marico has also passed on the benefits of the recent import duty reduction on edible crude oils used to refine its 'Saffola' cooking oils, to its customers.
Saffola oil volumes rose in mid-single digits in the first quarter, while revenue in the segment rose 28%, Marico said.
Volumes of Marico's 'Parachute' brand of coconut oil rose about 1% and revenue grew 31%, as price hikes undertaken to mitigate commodity cost inflation padded the topline but crimped demand.
Together, they make up about half of Marico's revenue in India.
Marico also joined companies such as Dabur DABU.NS and Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS in highlighting improving demand conditions in urban areas, after several quarters of a spending slowdown amid the high cost of living.
Its overall revenue rose 23.3% in the first quarter, to 32.59 billion rupees, coming in above analysts' average estimate of 32.1 billion rupees.
Shares of Marico were up 1.87%.
Peer AWL Agri Business AWLA.ns, previously known as Adani Wilmar, reported a nearly 25% fall in first quarter profit in July, as higher prices of branded palm oil led consumers to opt for cheaper alternatives.

India's AWL Agri Business posts profit fall on muted consumer demand
Adds CEO comment in paragraph 10, background in paragraph 9
July 15 (Reuters) - India's AWL Agri Business AWLA.NS, previously known as Adani Wilmar, reported a nearly 25% fall in quarterly profit on Tuesday, as higher prices of branded palm oil led consumers to opt for cheaper alternatives.
Indian consumers operating on tight budgets due to slow wage growth have been increasingly shunning large brands in response to price increases.
AWL, which makes the Fortune brand of cooking oil, reported a consolidated net profit of 2.36 billion rupees ($27.51 million) for the first quarter ended June 30.
Sales volumes in its mainstay edible oil business, which accounted for four-fifths of its topline, dropped 4% on slow palm oil sales, even as higher prices helped push revenue higher.
Volumes in the segment "remained under pressure, largely due to sluggish palm oil sales driven by its relatively higher prices," AWL said, adding it lost market share during the quarter.
Overall revenue rose 21% to 170.59 billion rupees.
AWL's food business, which sells staples such as rice and pulses, posted a 5% fall in volumes, excluding a one-off impact, as wheat flour sales struggled due to soft demand, stiff local competition and higher prices.
Shares fell 2.2% post-results.
In the coming quarters, AWL expects sales volumes to rebound, with palm oil prices stabilising and inflation slowing to a more than six-year low last month.
"As the inflation comes down ... food is the first product on which consumers are a little more likely to spend liberally," CEO Angshu Mallick told Reuters, adding consumers would now buy more branded foods, including tea and bread.
Rival Marico MRCO.NS, which sells the Saffola brand of cooking oil, is yet to report results. It said in an update earlier this month that quarterly revenue would grow in the low-20s percentage range on improving rural demand.

India's Marico estimates low-twenties percentage quarterly revenue growth
Adds details from paragraph 2 onwards
July 3 (Reuters) - India's Marico MRCO.NS said on Thursday consolidated revenue registered a low-twenties percentage growth in the quarter ended June 30, driven by sustained demand from rural consumers, although margins remained under pressure.
The consumer goods maker forecasts gross margin to remain under "incremental pressure" due to high costs of key raw materials such as copra, but expects these pressures to ease in the second half of the fiscal year.
Marico said it sees growth in operating profit to be modest on an on-year basis in the first quarter.
The 'Saffola' oil maker has benefited from improving rural demand for its products at a time when consumer goods makers have been dealing with sluggish urban consumption amid high cost of living.
Marico said that demand remained steady in the first quarter with improving trends in its rural markets.
It added that it expects overall sentiment to improve gradually in upcoming quarters on the back of easing inflation, a favourable monsoon season and policy stimulus.

Rural India's consumer demand outpaces urban areas for fifth straight quarter, NielsenIQ says
May 8 (Reuters) - India's consumer goods sector reported an 11% growth in value in the March quarter, as rural growth outpaced that in urban areas for the fifth straight quarter, market research firm NielsenIQ said on Thursday.
Rural areas - which account for just over a third of overall consumer goods sales - have become a bright spot for an industry that is struggling with higher living costs and slow wage growth in large cities.
"Rural markets continue to drive growth, whereas urban metros continue to see a shift toward E-commerce," Roosevelt Dsouza, head of customer success for consumer goods at NielsenIQ, said.
Although rural consumption growth slowed in the March quarter, with volumes rising 8.4% compared to 9.2% in the previous three months, it still outpaced urban demand, where growth decelerated to 2.6% from 4.2%.
Price increases also contributed to the overall value growth, with the cost of staples such as edible oil rising 5.6% during the quarter, compared with just 0.3% in the same period a year ago.
Low base, rural growth, and easing inflation are helping smaller players, which saw 17.8% growth in value, outpacing the broader FMCG market, the report said.
Indian consumer goods maker Marico MRCO.NS reported fourth-quarter profit above analysts' expectations, boosted by improving rural demand and price increases for its key packaged oil brands—underscoring the strength of non-urban markets.
The company also said it plans to expand its presence in villages across India.
Smaller manufacturers are driving consumption compared to larger players, whose volume growth has halved compared to the December quarter, NielsenIQ said.
Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS and Nestle India NEST.NS reported weaker fourth-quarter profits, with Hindustan Unilever cutting its margin forecast amid high commodity costs and sluggish urban demand.
Going ahead, NielsenIQ said revised tax slabs and a favorable monsoon forecast could further lift consumption in the coming quarters.

Rural demand, price hikes power India consumer goods sector growth, NielsenIQ says
Feb 6 (Reuters) - Solid demand in rural areas, as well as higher prices of staples including edible oil and wheat flour, helped the consumer goods sector report a 10.6% sales growth in the December quarter, market researcher NielsenIQ said on Thursday.
India's rural areas - which account for just over a third of consumer goods sales - have proven a bright spot for an industry struggling with an inflation-led spending slowdown in large cities.
"Rural markets (continued) to lead the charge, outpacing urban consumption (during the December quarter)," Roosevelt Dsouza, head of customer success for consumer goods at NielsenIQ, said in a statement.
Sales volume jumped 9.9% in rural areas in the December quarter, up from 5.7% in the previous quarter - double the 5% increase in urban centers, NielsenIQ said. But it added urban pockets also improved from the September quarter's 2.6% growth.
Rural areas have outperformed urban locations for the last four quarters, benefiting from income support schemes rolled out by several Indian states, while slowing salary increases in cities have squeezed consumer spending.
In the October-December quarter, overall volume rose by 7.1% - the highest in over a year - driven by demand for laundry products and edible oil, even as prices rose by 3.3%, according to NielsenIQ.
Dabur India DABU.NS and Hindustan Unilever HLL.NS reported a higher December-quarter profit on recovering rural demand.
However, large consumer goods makers, with topline exceeding 50 billion rupees ($571.2 million) are also facing stiff competition from smaller rivals, whose sales increased roughly twice as fast during the festive quarter, NielsenIQ said.
Consumer goods makers have also raised product prices to counter price increases in commodities such as copra and cocoa, with cooking oil maker Adani Wilmar ADAW.NS and Hindustan Unilever warning of further hikes.
Indians also preferred smaller product packs during the quarter, NielsenIQ said, echoing comments from Hindustan Unilever.

India's Adani Wilmar posts two-fold surge in Q3 profit on edible oils demand, shares rise
Jan 27 (Reuters) - India's Adani Wilmar ADAW.NS reported a two-fold surge in third-quarter profit on Monday, buoyed by higher demand in its core edible oils segment.
The consumer goods company, which makes the Fortune brand of cooking oil, reported a consolidated net profit of 4.11 billion rupees ($47.56 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31 from 2.01 billion rupees a year ago.
Shares rose 3% after the results.
Revenue from its core edible oils segment - which accounted for over 79% of total revenue - grew 38% during the quarter, driven by increased demand for sunflower and mustard oils.
The company said it recorded in 5% growth in volumes in the quarter.
Cooking oil has largely resisted the broader slowdown in branded consumer goods due to its essential nature, despite brands increasing prices in recent months to offset rising ingredient costs, as per analysts.
Expenses rose 30% due to a sharp rise in underlying commodity prices, driven by a hike in customs duty in mid-September.
Adani Wilmar's foods unit, which includes products such as soya chunks and basmati rice, recorded a 22% revenue growth, driven by increased demand from general trade and e-commerce channels, according to its quarterly update.
It reported a 31% increase in total revenue, hitting 168.59 billion rupees.
In late December, the Adani Group announced its exit from the consumer goods unit - which it owned in a joint venture with Singapore's Wilmar International WLIL.SI - selling its entire stake to its Singaporean partner and through the open market.
Rival Marico MRCO.NS said in its update it anticipated third-quarter revenue growth in the mid-teen percentage range, supported by improving rural consumption and stronger demand for its Parachute and Saffola oil brands.

India's Marico estimates higher quarterly revenue growth on cooking oil demand
Jan 3 (Reuters) - Indian consumer goods firm Marico MRCO.NS on Friday estimated its consolidated quarterly revenue will rise in the mid-teen percentage range, boosted by improving rural consumption and higher demand for its Parachute and Saffola brands of oils.
Cooking oil has largely withstood a broader slowdown among branded consumer goods due to its essential nature, according to analysts, even as brands raised prices in recent months to make up for higher ingredient costs.
Analysts are expecting a 11.2% rise in consolidated revenue in the quarter, as per LSEG data.
The Parachute coconut oil brand has been "resilient" in terms of revenue, while Saffola has "held firm in volume terms", the company said.
However, Marico said it expects a higher-than-anticipated gross margin contraction on a year-on-year basis and modest operating profit growth for the third quarter ended Dec. 31 due to higher raw materials and expansion costs.
The update from Marico comes two months after it tipped its consolidated revenue to grow year-on-year in the double-digit percentage range between October and March.
However, sales in large cities are under pressure as consumers cut back on spending due to high costs of living. Marico CEO Saugata Gupta told Reuters in November that urban consumption would take at least six months to revive.
The urban segment accounted for about 30% of its domestic sales, as of June-end.
Marico's international business, which accounts for a quarter of its overall revenue, will report a mid-teen constant currency growth in revenue in the third quarter, the company said.
Gupta in November had said Marico was looking to expand in the United States and East Africa as well as enter Indonesia.
In 2024, Marico shares rose 16.6%, compared with a 0.3% fall in the Nifty consumer goods index .NIFTYFMCG.
