Management Comments :
Sunil D’Souza, Managing Director & CEO of Tata Consumer Products said “We delivered good topline growth of 10% in FY24, but importantly an EBITDA growth of 24% and significant expansion in EBITDA margin. During the year, we recorded growth in India tea and salt businesses. Our premiumization agenda continues to progress well with the premium portfolio in both tea and salt showing good growth and contributing to an increasing share of the overall portfolio. Our growth businesses (Tata Sampann, RTD, Tata Soulfull, Tata SmartFoodz) continued their strong growth trajectory with a revenue growth of 40% in FY 24. Tata Starbucks made consistent progress in its expansion agenda with a store footprint spanning 61 cities. We also delivered strong performance in our International markets, along with significant margin improvement. The UK business saw its EBITDA margin touch historic highs led by restructuring initiatives taken during the year. In India, we solidified our Sales & Distribution infrastructure; our total reach has expanded to 4 million outlets as of March ’24. We implemented split routes in all 1 million + population towns and have seen significant improvement in assortment and growth. We are strengthening our Rurban focus and are deepening reach into rural areas. Alternate channels (modern trade and e-commerce) recorded significant momentum and continue to be strong growth drivers. We significantly accelerated innovation momentum to cater to key consumer trends such as Health & Wellness, Premiumisation and Convenience. On an average, in FY 24, we launched a new product almost every seven days. There has been a step change in our Digital Transformation agenda with the launch of a best-in-class commodity procurement platform as well as a Go-to-market platform leveraging AI. This will enable greater agility; better decision making and help drive business growth. Our recently announced acquisitions- Capital Foods and Organic India will be significant value creators for the company, enabling expansion into high growth, high margin categories. The front end and back-end integration for Capital Foods was completed within 60 days of transaction close. The transaction for Organic India closed on 16th April and we will focus on fast tracking integration of the business to unlock value.”
