ANNUAL REPORT THREADBARE (ART) | GODREJ CONSUMERS FY19: Rising payable drives working capital improvement

 

GCPL’s FY19 annual report highlighted a subdued operating performance. Consol. EBITDA grew merely by 3% to INR21.2b due to slowing growth in the domestic business and the continued weak performance in the international business. Adjusted for (a) MAT benefit recognized (at INR6.7b) and (b) write-back of earn-out liability pertaining to the SON acquisition (at INR1.9b), PAT was down 3% to INR14.2b. Decline in NP margins dragged consol. RoE to 21% (FY18: 25%). Intangibles assets stood high at INR49.2b (103% of NW), of which Africa constituted INR29.7b (~61% of overall). Return ratios were much lower at the consol. (RoE at 21%, RoCE at 22%) than standalone (RoE at 65%, RoCE at 86%) level owing to high capital intensity at subsidiaries, primarily in Africa. CCC days improved to 10 (FY18: 13), led by a rise in trade payables. Even over FY16-19, CCC days improvement of 19 was mainly led by higher trade payables (contribution of 21 days). Over FY17-19, dividend payout increased significantly by 6x to INR14.8b.
