ICICI Securities Report

Berger Paints India Ltd.’s Q3 FY23 earnings declined 13.4% YoY due to-

  1. lower sales of exterior paints due to prolonged monsoon and

  2. high priced inventory impacted Ebitda margin by 239 basis points.

We note these issues are transitory and management is confident of double-digit revenue and volume growth in Q4 FY23 with margin recovery. However, we model key trends to unfold as-

  1. revenue growth in FY24- 25 is likely to be materially lower than FY22-23 due to negligible price hikes and lower volume growth with higher competitive pressures and revival of unorganised sector,

  2. likely inferior revenue mix due to inflationary pressures and likely higher discounting by smaller players at low end of market and

  3. with market leader planning to operate in Ebitda margin band of 17-20%, there is cap on Ebitda margin recovery for Berger Paints.

Our stance of industry profit pool shrinkage due to steep competitive pressures remain intact.
