Hindustan Unilever (HUL)s top-line for 2QFY2013 grew by 11.5% yoy to `6,155cr, in-line with our estimates. The recurring net profit for the quarter grew by 25.0% yoy to `805cr, aided by an 83.2% yoy growth in other income to `304cr. However, the underlying volume growth of 7% in the domestic FMCG business is a disappointment. We remain Neutral on the stock. Key highlights during the quarter: The domestic consumer business grew by 16%, with the underlying volume growth coming in at a modest 7%. While the soaps and detergents segment grew by 22% yoy, the personal products segment was up by 12% yoy. The foods division rose by 10% yoy. The management indicated that the overall growth in the quarter was impacted by budget rationalization in the canteen stores department (CSD). The OPM stood at 13.3%, which again was inline with estimates. The gross margins rose by 123bp yoy aided largely by price hikes. HUL increased its advertising and promotion expenses during the quarter, which went up by `118cr on a yoy basis to `769cr. The bottom-line rose by 25% yoy to `805cr aided by an 83.2% yoy growth in other income to `304cr (vs `166cr in 2QFY2012). Outlook and valuation: We expect HUL to post a ~15.5% CAGR in its top-line over FY2012-14E, largely aided by steady performance of all its major divisions. In terms of earnings, we expect HUL to post a 19.7% CAGR. At the current market price, the stock is trading at 32.0x FY2014E earnings. We maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Revenue growth at 11.5%, in line with estimates

HUL posted an impressive top-line growth of 11.5% yoy, driven by a 16.0% growth in the domestic consumer business. Home and personal care (HPC) and foods businesses posted a growth of 18.5% and 10.0% respectively. On a likefor-like basis, the top-line rose by 17%, considering that 2QFY2012 results included sales of the export business, which has since been de-merged and transferred to a subsidiary. The soaps and detergents (S&D) segment continued to post strong results with revenue growth coming in at 21.0% yoy, with both laundry and skin cleansing segments reporting healthy growth rates. However, during the quarter, the growth of personal products moderated to12% yoy impacted by the relaunch of Fair And Lovely sachets at a higher price of `8/pack vs the earlier `7/pack.

The packaged foods segment grew by 16%, led by growth in key brands, with Knorr soups growing in double digits.

Investment arguments
Increasing innovation and brand repositioning to accelerate growth: HUL has been very actively re-launching products from its existing brands and has increased the pace of new launches, targeting the mid/premium market segment. This, in our view, is positive, considering that the company will have a better control on pricing. Moreover, constant innovations have helped HUL stabilize its market share losses. However, we believe ITCs commitment to categories such as soaps, shampoos and skin care, may pose a major threat to HUL in the long run. Healthy domestic growth rates and strong balance sheet provide further impetus: HUL, with its iconic brands, has maintained its growth, which is impressive given the recent price hikes across categories and a strong competitive scenario, indicating a revival in consumer demand and higher growth in the mid/premium market segment. Moreover, HUL is a cash-rich, zero-debt company enjoying a high RoE of ~75%.

Outlook and valuation

We expect HUL to post a ~15.5% CAGR in its top-line over FY2012-14E, largely aided by steady performance of all its major divisions. In terms of earnings, we expect HUL to post a ~19.7% CAGR. At the current market price, the stock is trading at 32.0x FY2014E earnings. We maintain our Neutral view on the stock.
