Nestle India: All-round disappointment despite weak base
-Net sales were up only 8.7% YoY (est. of +20%) to INR24.8b (Ind-AS). EBITDA declined 7.5% YoY (est. of +28%) to INR5.1b, while PAT rose 1.8% YoY (est. of +36.1% YoY) to INR3.1b.
-Gross margin contraction was higher than expected at 80bp (est. of -50bp) to 55.8%. EBITDA margin shrunk 370bp YoY (est. of +150bp) to 20.6%.
-Nestle is no longer the business it was before CY11 (when it used to report consistent double-digit volume growth with over 100% RoCEs) and may never be so. Considering that valuations are rich at 48.9x CY18E EPS, we downgrade to Sell with a revised target price of INR5,715 (39x CY18E EPS, at a 20% discount to three-year avg. multiple).
