HUL: Robust performance, margins surprise yet again

  • HUL delivered remarkable volume growth of 5% on a high base amid a weak operating environment (moderating urban growth and further slowing down of rural growth sequentially).
  • EBITDA margin expanded 335bp YoY (210bp on comparable basis) led by cost-saving programs and GST-led logistics savings.
  • Beauty and Personal Care (BPC) segment de-grew slightly, while Foods segment growth has held on well.
  • We maintain positive outlook on HUL due to its nimbleness, strong execution on Naturals, premiuimization drive, and extensive technology deployment.
  • We derive a TP of INR2,280 on a target multiple of 50x FY22E unmerged EPS. GSKCH merger would boost EPS by 10% translating to ~45x PE on merged numbers. High valuations seem justified on superior business quality.
