India Consumer
June'11 Qtr Earnings Preview
Earnings season for the Indian consumer space kicks off later this week. We expect companies in our coverage universe on an average to report healthy mid teens earnings growth during the June'11 quarter. Pricing to underpin top-line growth as volume growth moderates. We expect marginal decline in volume growth rates for most categories on account of recent aggressive price hikes undertaken (which could affect consumption) and high base qtr effect. We expect HUL to return to positive price/mix growth after five consecutive quarters of decline. ITC and GSK Consumer would be exceptions and will likely witness revival in volume growth rate to 5-6% (for cigarettes) and 8-9% levels (MFD) respectively. Gross margin pressures to sustain for HPC companies; food names likely to fare better. We expect y/y decline in gross margins for HPC companies, though quantum will likely be lower than prior quarter on account of price hikes. Food companies should see flat gross margins y/y as they have initiated more aggressive price hikes and some of the commodity costs for them have relatively been benign. Liquor companies (UNSP) could suffer from high glass and ENA costs. Controlled ad spends to negate much of gross margin decline. Given considerable input cost push, June'11 qtr will likely be quieter in terms of promotional activities. Our discussions with media companies too suggest subdued spends by FMCG players during the qtr. Investors interest could focus on the following: 1) Volume growth trends looking for any impact on account of inflationary concerns, 2) Guidance on margins in coming quarters considering recent price correction for some of the key raw materials, 3) Commentary on level of competitive activity, and 4) Performance of overseas acquisitions done by domestic companies. Stock returns likely limited by valuations. Indian staples sector trades at the higher end of its valuation range (25x P/E, a 12-15% premium to its past 3-5 yr-avg). The sector has outperformed the broader market by 15% over 1HCY11, and on P/E Indian staples are trading at a 75% premium to MSCI India (vs 50% 10-yr avg premium). While we do not deny the structural high-quality nature of these names, further re-rating looks unlikely unless there is acceleration in growth. Stock preference. Our preferred picks are ITC, UNSP and GSK Consumer. We would seek better entry opportunities for Nestle India and Dabur. We remain UW on HUL and Colgate India given stretched valuations.

Figure 1: Gross Margin trends (quarterly)


change in bps Gross margin pressures have sustained over past few quarters primarily from higher input costs and limited price hikes. During Mar11 qtr gross margins declined for nearly all the HPC companies under our coverage.

Nestle India United Spirits GSK Consumer HUL

Food companies fared better as they had started to witness input cost pressures early in the cycle and price hikes in this space have been ahead of that of HPC space.
