Marico Delivers Strong Q4 Performance: Profit Up 14%, Board Recommends ₹4 Dividend
FMCG major Marico [MARICO] has announced a robust performance for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, reporting a 14% increase in net profit and significant revenue growth, driven by strong domestic and international business segments. The company's board has also proposed a final dividend of ₹4 per share.
Indian Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) giant, Marico [MARICO], has reported an impressive financial outing for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2024. The company registered a consolidated net profit of ₹391 crore, marking a substantial 14% increase year-on-year.
The strong bottom-line performance was complemented by a healthy top-line expansion, with revenue from operations surging by 22% during the same period. This growth was primarily fueled by robust volume expansion in the company's domestic India business, alongside sustained momentum across its international markets.
Despite the positive sales trajectory, Marico [MARICO] observed some contraction in its operating margins during the quarter. This was largely attributed to elevated input costs, a common challenge faced by many players in the consumer goods sector over the past year. However, the company's strategic pricing and efficient operational management helped mitigate the impact to a considerable extent, allowing for overall profit growth.
In a move set to delight shareholders, Marico's board of directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹4 per equity share for the financial year 2023-24. This dividend declaration underscores the company's commitment to returning value to its investors, building on its consistent payout history.
Looking at the full fiscal year, Marico [MARICO] achieved multi-year high growth rates, demonstrating resilience and effective strategy execution amidst a dynamic market environment. The company's diverse product portfolio and expanding global footprint continue to be key drivers of its sustained performance in the competitive FMCG landscape.
