Sector Update FMCG COVID and Inflation; the two demons to be slayed! Investment rationale In this report we have attempted to analyze; raw material cost trend, price hikes, DABUR’s international market exposure is more immune to COVID and impact of COVID uncertainty on Indian FMCG companies. Our primary In international market, out of 23 countries where Indian FMCG companies have observations and conclusions are as follows; (i) raw material cost for edible oil, maximum exposure; 88% countries have already witnessed either 3rd or 4th wave. packaging material and paint-related-products (TIO2, VAM etc) rose significantly Also, around 61% countries are witnessing meaning full decline in number of during 1QFY22; category leaders (MRCO in Edible Oil, HUL in soaps) have taken daily COVID cases. Dabur’s exposure to international market is relatively more nd rd larger price hikes compared to 2 /3 brand to protect margins (ii) in international immune compared to other FMCG companies in India (exhibit 15). market; 88% of the regions, where Indian FMCG company has significant business India to unmask by Dec’21; expect discretionary segment to recover faster presence, have already witnessed 3rd/4rth wave and is now more stable; we Based on current vaccination rate (at 28 lakh doses per day) and government of observe that subsidiaries of DBUR are relatively more immune to COVID India target of vaccinating adult population by Dec 21, the discretionary disruptions as most of the countries where the company has presence are consumption, led by increase in the mobility of people at malls and other public witnessing significant decline in number of daily COVID cases. (iii) We expect places will improve significantly. And thus the recovery in companies having normalization of mobility and lockdown by end of Dec’21; this would help business exposure to discretionary segments (apparel, juices, cola drinks paints etc.) to be recovery of TRENT, TCNS, DMART, JUBI to accelerate. In our coverage universe; faster in 2HFY22. We also concur with the view that there will be significant DMART, BRIT and GCPL are our preferred pick. normalization of mobility and lockdown by Dec’21 as India is most likely to Top executors to drive outperformance achieve 80% vaccination rate; this would help business recovery for TRENT, nd During 2 COVID wave the strategy of micro-containment used by India has TCNS, DMART, JUBI FOOD to faster than expected. helped FMCG companies to report better business recovery compared to the Top picks; DMART, BRIT, GCPL strategy of blanket-lockdown during the 1st wave. We observe that; post COVID We like DMART, BRIT, and GCPL amongst our coverage universe. We believe crisis companies which are top executors (HUL, BRIT, DABUR, GCPL, MRCO, DMART is a classic case of a platform company; as it is creating an expensive- APNT, DMART, JUBI, TRENT) outperformed competition (exhibit 18). We expect platform (DMART owns the land parcel and does its own construction) where these companies to continue outperformance as India moves to gradual manufacturers can keep their products while customers can buy it. We believe, unlocking. DMART can compound revenue/EPS growth at 25-30% over next 25 years. In Inflationary pressure continues; price hikes taken in 1QFY22 to support margin case of BRIT; we are bullish on the company’s approach to drive premiumization On raw material, cost of packaging material and edible oil witnessed major in the value segment through milk-bikis portfolio. Poor people love to indulge in inflation (+40-62% YoY) during 1QFY22. FMCG companies have taken price hikes cheap luxury; we expect BRIT to drive success in premiumization through top- to offset any impact on margin. We note that; category leaders (MRCO, HUL) class execution. On GCPL; we are bullish on turnaround of South Africa business have taken larger price hikes compared to 2nd/3rd brand (exhibit 2 to 10). We while HI business in India likely to continue growth momentum. understand this symbolizes the power of brand.

We note that this Consumer Staples & strategy has already started playing out in tea (price hike lower than competition and commodity inflation), soaps (price hikes lower than competition despite steep Discretionary input inflation (palm prices up over 30% in 6M) and detergents.

    Corporate Governance Scores S&P BSE 100 companies Technical Partner Supported by the Government of Japan January 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword 2 1 Introduction 4 2 SENSEX Trends 6 3 S&P BSE 100 Findings 8 4 Conclusion 12 5 Annexures 13 6 1 1. FOREWORD Vladislava Ryabota Regional Lead for Corporate Governance in South Asia, IFC Welcome to this second report on the Indian Corporate Governance Scorecard, developed jointly by the BSE, IFC and Institutional Investor Advisory Services (IiAS), with the financial support of the Government of Japan. The goal of a scorecard is to provide a fair assessment of corporate governance practices at the corporate level. This, in return, gives investors, regulators and stakeholders key information to help them in their decisions with regards to such companies. Since we started this journey in India, with our first scorecard issued in December 2016, a lot of dynamic changes have been set in motion. For instance, the scorecard of 2016 scored 30 companies, and now we have a 100 in this year’s edition. We were also happy to notice that several best practice requirements, covered by the scoring methodology, have been recommended by the Kotak Committee, formed in 2017 at the initiative of the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Changes have also taken place at the regulatory level to incite investors to take a more active role at Annual General Assemblies and vote in order to bring positive changes in the practices of their investee companies. All these changes form part of an overall dynamic aimed at helping the private sector raise its visibility in India and throughout the world and IFC is proud to be a solid partner and actor to this initiative.
