Investor Presentaiton

Steady sales growth
Financial performance
Sales growth of 12% driven by pricing; 3-year CAGR of 12%

•
EBITDA margins in India at 22.5%; contracted by 380 bps year-on-
year, driven by a gross margin decline of -660 bps (due to higher
commodity inflation); increase in Working Media by ~140 bps to drive
category development and mitigated through reduction in controllable
costs by ~450 bps (Employee Benefit Expenses by ~230 bps and Other
Expenses by ~230 bps).
With inflationary pressures abating, we expect recovery in consumption
and gross margins alongside continued higher marketing investments
with a significant focus on reducing controllable costs.
