Godrej Consumer Products, which makes hair colours and dyes, apart from Goodnight mosquito repellants and Cinthol soaps among other popular FMCG products, has acquired eight companies overseas in the last six years, with five of those in the last 17 months alone. But the company's quest for more buys continues.
GCPL reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 172.6 crore for 2008-09 fiscal on revenue of Rs 1,392.9 crore. Last fiscal (2010-11) its consolidated net profit was Rs 514.71 crore on revenue of Rs 3,676.32 crore. The company's net profit and revenue have risen almost three-fold as it embarked on an acquisition spree.
Some of its recent acquisitions include beauty and personal care brand Tura in Nigeria in March 2010, Indonesia’s household insecticides company Megasari in April 2010, Argentinean hair care companies Issue and Argencos in May and June the same year and pan-African hair care company Darling Group in June 2011.
GCPL had formed an M&A team in 2008, with an agenda to map the global arena, especially the emerging markets, for potential acquisitions. And that quest will continue going ahead, what with the company’s ambitious plans to double its turnover every 3-4 years.
"Our plan for the next ten years is to grow at a 25% plus CAGR (compounded annual growth rate). Out of that, while 15% will be organic growth, 10% will have to be inorganic growth. read more
