Anand Rathi's research report on Mrs Bector Food Specialties
With 8% y/y revenue growth (vs the Street’s 11%) and Rs582m EBITDA (Rs639m), Mrs Bector Foods’ Q1 was below estimates on muted demand amid high input costs, though growth improved q/q. Domestic biscuits grew in high single digits; management targets double-digit growth in coming quarters, while the Bakery category continued to report strong growth (up 19% y/y) aided by English Oven (65% volume-led growth). Exports, however, were hit by order delays in the US, supply issues and inventory in transit. Management is upbeat about its premium, healthled innovation pipeline, including ‘Nature Bake’. and expects EBITDA margins of 14% from Q2 on easing costs and duty cuts, supported by market-share gains, geographic expansion (Kolkata, Maharashtra) and the new Indore plant capacity coming on stream.
