Question 1: Could you discuss the competitive intensity and pricing pressure in the soya nuggets segment, given rising competition from players like Marico Saffola? Additionally, how do you view the long-term potential of Sattu in the organized market?
Answer: Adani Wilmar emphasized its manufacturing edge in soya nuggets, leveraging Wenger technology and multi-location plants for cost efficiency. Competition is viewed as market-expanding, with stable pricing. Sattu demand is regional (East India) and seasonal, supported by targeted distribution.
Question 2: What explains the inventory losses in the branded rice segment, and how do you plan to regain market share? What is the outlook for palm oil prices and potential duty adjustments?
Answer: Rice inventory losses stemmed from price corrections and tolling constraints. The new Gohana facility aims to stabilize supply chains and improve market share. Palm oil prices remain volatile due to geopolitical factors and biodiesel policies; duty changes are uncertain as the government prioritizes farmer and consumer interests.
Question 3: Can you quantify the impact of ESOPs on employee costs and clarify the sequential rise in other expenses? How should we model normalized inventory gains and direct reach expansion targets?
Answer: Higher employee costs were due to one-time incentives, not ESOPs. Other expenses included derivative adjustments and marketing provisions. Inventory gains are tied to commodity cycles, with normalized EBITDA around Rs.3,500"“3,600/ton. Direct reach targets aim for 1 million outlets by FY27.
Question 4: How do you expect edible oil volume growth and profitability to trend amid palm price corrections? What are the medium-term growth and margin aspirations for the food/FMCG segment?
Answer: Edible oil volume growth is projected at 8"“9% (vs. industry's 6"“7%), supported by distribution expansion. Food/FMCG targets 20%+ volume growth, with margins expected to improve post-FY28 after scaling operations and gaining market share.
Question 5: Are there plans to engage in palm cultivation in India, given Wilmar's global expertise? How is palm oil utilized in your product portfolio?
Answer: Adani Wilmar sources palm oil from Southeast Asia (not India) and uses it in edible oils and specialty fats. Soya nuggets rely on non-GM soya beans, unrelated to palm oil.
