ABOUT THE COMPANY

Over its 120 years of existence, the Dabur brand has stood for goodness through a natural lifestyle. An umbrella name for a variety of products, ranging from hair care to honey, Dabur has consistently ranked among Indias top brands. Its brands are built on the foundation of trust that a Dabur offering will never cause one harm. The trust levels that this brand enjoys are phenomenally high. While Ries and Trout may ask What does Dabur stand forshampoo or digestive tablets? The answer is fairly simple, it stands for Indias fourth largest fast moving consumer goods company that both consumers and trade respect and trust unequivocally, and which has an annual turnover of over Rs 15 billion. The company has kept an eye on new generations of customers with a range of products that cater to a modern lifestyle, while managing not to alienate earlier generations of loyal customers. Dabur is an investor friendly brand as its financial performance shows. There is an abundance of information for its investors and prospective information including a daily update on the share price (something that very few Indian brands do). Theres a great sense of responsibility for investors funds on view. This is a direct extension of Daburs philosophy of taking care of its constituents and it adds to the sense of trust for the brand overall.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

In a year which was beset with external challenges such as below average monsoons, drought in some parts of the country, rising food inflation and sharp currency fluctuations, Dabur continued to report strong growth in sales across its businesses and geographies. In spite of sharp fluctuations in input costs and an overall inflationary scenario, the company was able to manage costs well leading to a sizeable increase in operating margins during the year.

On a consolidated basis, Revenues grew by 20.6% to Rs 3,416.7 crore while Net Profit grew 28.1% to go up to Rs 501.3 crore.

During the year, the Company saw robust volume-led growth across key categories like hair care, oral care, skin care, health supplements, digestives & foods. The acquisition of Fem Care Pharma, a leading player in the women's skin care products market, and introduction of a host of new products and variants added to this growth and helped Dabur gain a strong foothold in several high-growth and highly competitive categories across the consumer goods space.
