Nestle India: All-round disappointment despite weak base
v
Net sales were up only 8.7% YoY (est. of +20%) to INR24.8b (Ind-AS). EBITDA
declined 7.5% YoY (est. of +28%) to INR5.1b, while PAT rose 1.8% YoY (est. of
+36.1% YoY) to INR3.1b.
v
Gross margin contraction was higher than expected at 80bp (est. of -50bp) to
55.8%. EBITDA margin shrunk 370bp YoY (est. of +150bp) to 20.6%.
v
Nestle is no longer the business it was before CY11 (when it used to report
consistent double-digit volume growth with over 100% RoCEs) and may never
be so. Considering that valuations are rich at 48.9x CY18E EPS, we downgrade
to Sell with a revised target price of INR5,715 (39x CY18E EPS, at a 20%
discount to three-year avg. multiple).

Key Highlights
What can stop the RBI from cutting rates further now?
IIP grew 5% in FY17, not 0.5%; Like GDP
Divergence with RBI audit fully accounted for
EBITDA up 1% QoQ to INR21.9b, 19% above estimate
All-round disappointment despite weak base; downgrade to Sell
Weak quarter; US FDA resolution is key
Remarkable growth in Jewellery; Margin below estimates
Realization improvement & higher other operating income drive profits
Another weak quarter; Stress addition increases to AQR levels
Balance sheet clean up phase; high provisioning leads to pre-tax loss
Results below estimates, impact temporary; Maintain Buy
Results below estimates due to regulatory headwinds
Dismal results; US performance significantly below expectations
Structural story remains weak; market share decline the last straw
