Summary of JYOTHY LABS's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
Last updated: Feb 25
Management's outlook highlights cautious optimism amid subdued demand, particularly in urban areas, with gradual rural recovery driven by monsoon benefits. Key points include:
Financial Performance: Q3 revenue grew 4% YoY (8% volume), with ex-Home Insecticide (HI) segments up 6.1% in value. Nine-month EBITDA rose to Rs.387.7 crores (margin: 17.8%), supported by gross margin expansion (150 bps improvement).
Category Performance:
Margins & Costs: Gross margin held steady at 49.8% via raw material coverage. EBITDA margin dipped to 16.4% (vs. 17.5% YoY) due to operating expenses.
Strategies: Focus on innovation (e.g., Mr. White Liquid Detergent), cost optimization, and distribution expansion. A&P spend maintained at 9% to bolster brands. Quick commerce adoption noted but impact minimal.
Outlook: Near-term demand remains volatile, but long-term growth levers include rural recovery, premiumization in Dishwash/Fabric Care, and reducing HI dependency. Margin protection prioritized via pricing actions and input cost management.

Question 1:
"My first question is on HI. So market leader has come out with a new technology, which is more efficacious, which currently other players don't have. And when I see numbers, clearly, they seem to have done much better than you... Could you comment on whether you would need much more effective technology to compete?"
Answer Summary:
Management expressed confidence in their HI formulations, attributing the decline to the coil segment and highlighting double-digit growth in liquid vaporizers. HI's contribution to overall revenue has reduced to 4-5%, with focus shifting to other growing categories. Future launches are planned to counter challenges.
Question 2:
"My second question was in terms of your comment that you were only company in this subcategory, if you could comment a bit more... the higher active molecule in terms of the Agarbatti, those seem to be doing well for the market leader."
Answer Summary:
Acknowledged the market leader's innovations but emphasized their strategy to prioritize non-HI segments. HI's performance is seasonal, with efforts to diversify the portfolio (e.g., Maxo racket) and reduce dependency on coils.
Question 3:
"My last question will be on Dishwash. Market leader has seen high single-digit growth while you have seen 3%. Could you comment on liquids vs. mass-end performance?"
Answer Summary:
Dishwash growth (3%) was driven by double-digit liquid detergent growth and scrubbers. Volume growth was supported by higher grammages/promotions. Pril liquid performed well in modern trade and e-commerce.
Question 4:
"First is on Jovia. What is the right to be in outdoor here? What is the differentiating point...? Second, related to Margo: Lux has ventured into sandal variants. Could you comment?"
Answer Summary:
Jovia targets the mass segment with Vitamin E/natural ingredients and competitive pricing. Margo's sandalwood variant is a differentiation play. Jovia will expand pan-India, while Margo remains niche with neem-focused consumers.
Question 5:
"How do you see Personal Care compared to competition?... Are people downsizing volumes, impacting margins?"
Answer Summary:
Personal Care declined 3.7% due to sluggish demand. Jovia's launch aims to tap down-trading trends. Margo remains niche. Consumer down-trading and unplanned purchases via quick commerce are observed, with near-term volume challenges.
Question 6:
"The volume-value growth gap is higher than long-term averages. Will this revert? Are you confident in double-digit volume-led growth for FY26?"
Answer Summary:
The gap stems from promotional grammages in Dishwash/Fabric Care. Volume growth (8%) outpaced value (4%) due to pricing actions. Double-digit volume growth ambition remains, but near-term caution persists due to market challenges.
Question 7:
"Would rationalizing celebrity-driven A&P spend for new brands help margins?"
Answer Summary:
A&P spend (9% of revenue) is critical for existing brands. Future new categories may require additional investments. No immediate plans to reduce spend, as current brands drive growth.
Question 8:
"On HI losses (~INR20Cr for 9M FY25), can FY26 see breakeven? What's the strategy?"
Answer Summary:
HI losses are linked to seasonality and fixed costs. Initiatives like Maxo racket and regional strategies aim to mitigate losses. Performance hinges on seasonal demand in Feb-Mar.
Question 9:
"How are quick commerce platforms impacting distribution? Are you present on all apps?"
Answer Summary:
Quick commerce is a growing channel, with Jyothy present across major platforms. No significant placement challenges reported; growth is observed but specific contribution figures undisclosed.
Question 10:
"What's the urban-rural split and growth outlook?"
Answer Summary:
60% urban, 40% rural. Rural demand improved post-monsoon but remains gradual. Urban stagnation persists, limiting overall recovery despite rural gains.
