Recovery to be protracted

INDIA | FMCG | Company Update
Key highlights of HUL’s FY15 annual report and management commentary:
Demand environment continues to remain sluggish: FY15 saw a marked slowdown in
growth in developed markets (such as Europe and Japan) and emerging markets (such as
China). The operating environment in India remained challenging due to faltering demand,
consumer down-trading, volatile input costs, and heightened competitive intensity.
Domestic consumer business grew 10%, with 5% underlying volume growth.
Premiumisation continues in soaps & detergents: Led by mix growth, soaps & detergents
grew 9% yoy in FY15 (8%/19%/21% in FY14/13/12). Lower commodity costs and better cost
management helped the segment’s profit grow faster (14% yoy) despite sustained
investments in quality and brand marketing. We expect this category’s revenue to stay
sluggish for the next two years (see 9%/11% growth in FY16/FY17).
Personal products growth, while ahead of the market, was muted: Due to sluggish demand
in the personal products market, this category grew 11% yoy in FY15 (9%/13%/13% in
FY14/13/12). The segment’s profit grew faster (17% yoy) due to lower commodity costs and
better cost management. Our channel checks show that growth in personal products
continues to face severe headwinds. Hence, we expect a slow revival (FY16/FY17 revenues
to grow by 11%/ 12%).

Other categories performed well: Beverages revenues grew 9% yoy in FY15 across both tea
and coffee, lower than 11-13% growth in the preceding three years, due to lower price
growth (as commodity costs were softer in H2FY15). We expect revenue growth of 11% and
12% yoy for FY16 and FY17 respectively. Packaged foods saw superior 15% growth driven by
good growth in Kissan and Knorr. Water delivered double-digit growth while its margins
improved significantly.
‘Customer development’ function sees a major overhaul, but yet to deliver results: In line
with its project, ‘Winning In Many Indias’ (WIMI), the company has restructured its sales
organisation with a new fifth sales branch in Lucknow. Going forward, the sales performance
will be driven through 14 consumer clusters that will report to five sales branches, thereby
helping the management to focus on unique consumer needs in each cluster.
Cash flow down, royalty up: Operating cash flow declined 10% yoy to Rs 40.5bn. Royalty
payments increased 40% to Rs 7.35bn (currently 2.4% of sales which will go to 3.15% by
2018 in a staggered manner). Capital expenditure declined 2.5% to Rs 4.8bn. Working capital
days increased by 2.6 because of lower current liabilities, and higher cash & cash
equivalents.
Balance sheet highlights: According to the management, cost of equity decreased to 10.9%
in FY15 from 11.6% in FY14 (because of decreasing interest rates). Cash and cash equivalents
increased by Rs 3.1bn to Rs 25.3bn. Current investment grew by Rs 1.6bn to Rs 26.2bn.

Maintain estimates and recommendation (Neutral), cut the multiple: We have maintained
our estimates incorporating slower volume growth and resurgence in crude oil prices.
Currently, the company trades at 40x FY16 and 34x FY17 estimated earnings. We reduce our
target P/E multiple for FY17 to 35x considering the de-rating of the FMCG sector; we value
the stock at Rs 844 (Rs 920 earlier). Take into account the limited upside from current levels
and sluggishness of growth in FY16, we maintain our recommendation at Neutral.

HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LTD COMPANY UPDATE
Soaps: Due to volatile prices of palm oil and subdued growth in volumes, soaps saw
8% growth (6%/25%/9% in FY14/13/12). Lifebuoy clocked a revenue of Rs 20bn and
reached its highest-ever market share. HUL re-launched Lux in the year, with a new
fragrance; it garnered good consumer response, according to the company. In the
premium segment, Dove continued to deliver volume-led growth. The company
continued to invest in the promising categories of liquid hand wash and liquid body
wash.
Our take: We expect the demand in soaps to show a slow improvement; we see
FY16/FY17 growth at 9%/11%. Low-inflation will increase competitive pressures from
local and regional players.
Detergents: Driven majorly by mix and price hike, detergents grew 10% (vs.
8%/13%/29% in FY14/FY13/FY12). The company passed on the benefits of low
commodity prices to consumers, which helped improve the product mix. All the three
detergent brands—Surf, Rin, and Wheel—are now Rs 20bn brands. Surf achieved
double-digit growth. Higher growth in Surf and muted growth in Wheel saw Surf
dislodging Wheel as HUL’s largest brand. Within Rin, the bars portfolio grew welle
while powders saw moderate growth. Fabric conditioner (Comfort) showed doubledigit growth.
Our take: We expect detergents demand to pick up slowly over the next two
financials—we peg FY16/FY17 detergent revenue growth at 8%/10%. The company
has taken price cuts in Surf and Rin. We expect the detergents portfolio to continue
to premiumize in FY16.
Household care: Vim sustained double-digit growth. Growth was driven by the tub
and liquids portfolio. The Vim tub segment continued to see strong growth with the
launch of a 250gm pack in the third quarter to complement the existing 500gm pack.
Skin care: Face care growth was ahead of the market across skin lightening, facial
cleansing, anti-ageing and men’s formats. Fair & Lovely continued to deliver good
growth in the second year of its re-launch as ‘Best Ever’ Fair & Lovely. Pond’s
continued to deliver double-digit growth led by the good performance, particularly of
the skin lightening and talcs portfolio. During the year, Pond’s forayed into the malegrooming segment (including face washes and moisturisers), which has performed
well according to the management. Lakmé sustained its growth momentum during
the year.
Our take: Though HUL’s skin care segment has managed to outperform the market,
its absolute growth is not very exciting; for FY16 and FY17 it will continue to remain
challenging due to tepid demand environment in the category.
Hair care: Hair care delivered another strong year of competitive volume-led doubledigit growth on superior performance across brands (Dove, Sunsilk, Clinic Plus and
TRESemme). Clinic Plus consolidated its position as the largest shampoo franchise
growing in strong double digits. Dove saw double digit growth. TRESemmé continued
its premiumisation agenda. It launched two new products—Split Remedy and Spa
Rejuvenation. It has quickly joined HUL’s Rs 1bn club. Toni&Guy, the premium brand
from the Unilever’s hair portfolio was rolled out in key premium outlets during the
year.
Oral Care: Oral care saw muted growth because of elevated competition and
promotional intensity. Closeup launched a new variant, Diamond Attraction, a firstof-its-kind premium (instant) whitening variant. While Close Up performed well,
Pepsodent continued to struggle.
Color cosmetics: Lakmé Colors business sustained double-digit growth and is focused
on premiumisation. It has two platforms ‘9 to 5’ and ‘Absolute’ under which it
launched Absolute Gloss Addict. It also launched a Makeup Pro App, a real-time
Page | 4 | PHILLIPCAPITAL INDIA RESEARCH
HINDUSTAN UNILEVER LTD COMPANY UPDATE
virtual makeover mobile application. Other launches include creaseless lipsticks and
Eyeconic shades.
Deodorants: It recently launched ‘Axe Signature’ perfume sprays. A new deodorant
manufacturing facility was commissioned in Khamgaon (Maharashtra). This will
support the indigenization of production for a large portion of deodorants in the
aerosol form that are currently imported.
Beverages: Beverages segment saw 9% revenue growth across tea and coffee.
Premiumisation in tea was driven by Taj Mahal and 3 Roses. Instant coffee business
saw growth with BRU Gold performing particularly well, according to the company.
Foods: Packaged foods revenue grew 15% with profit growth of 36%. Kissan grew in
double digits. Knorr’s growth was led by soups, particularly the single-serve format.
Knorr Noodles launched Chinese flavours. We believe that due to recent controversy
surrounding Maggi, Knorr will be able to gain some market share in the noodles
category. The frozen desserts and ice-cream business grew 21% and improved
profitability led by new launches and increase in distribution. Magnum, the premium
ice-cream brand is now present in Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Delhi, and Kolkata.
Water: Pureit delivered double-digit growth while improving margins significantly. It
introduced Ultima (RO+UV purifier). The product has been able to gain presence in
the premium RO+UV segment with a double-digit market share in modern trade.
Beauty and wellness: Lakme Lever delivered double-digit growth for the fifth
consecutive year, although the market slowed down because of consumers pulling
back discretionary spends. It opened 25 new salons taking the total count to 230.
Significant initiatives
 HUL undertook the project ‘Winning In Many Indias’ (WIMI) to leverage the
diversity of people, culture, habits, economics, and demographics that exists
across India. The company restructured its sales structure by setting up the fifth
sales branch in Lucknow to unlock growth in Central India. In line with the WIMI
strategy, performance of the country will be driven through 14 consumer
clusters, reporting to five sales branches, focusing the categories on the unique
consumer needs in each cluster.
 In order to tap the fast growing e-commerce channel, HUL has launched a
website www.humarashop.com. Though the website is functional only in select
areas of Mumbai and Gurgaon, the company is well placed to lead category
growth in this channel.
 HUL’s supply chain saving was 5% driven by various cross-functional teams, such
as R&D, procurement, manufacturing and logistics.
 Project Shakti (Hindustan Unilever's rural direct-to-consumer retail distribution
initiative) now has over 70,000 Shakti Entrepreneurs (Shakti Ammas) and 48,000
Shaktimaans covering 165,000 villages and reaching over four million rural
households.
