    Conversion to laminated tubes and increasing focus on non-oral care to be key revenue drivers. EPL expects non-oral care account for 50% of revenue in FY16E (42% 9MFY15). We expect 13.4% revenue CAGR over FY14-17E

    Better mix (increase in non-oral care), improving capacity utilization and cost control to drive margin expansion. We expect a 110bps EBITDA margin expansion to 18% by FY17E

    "Company guides to deliver 13-15% revenue CAGR & +20% PAT growth in FY16, led by higher conversion from plastic & aluminum tubes to laminated tubes, higher non-oral care mix, operating leverage from ramp up in capacities and tight leash on cost management.
