- Consumer Business revenues (exports to US and other markets) have grown 22% in the six-month period. However, in current quarter, Consumer business revenues were lower by 23% over last year due to demand drop on account of inventory built up at US and other markets.
- Food service revenues have grown more than 100% in the six-month period as last year business is significantly impacted on account of nationwide lockdown due to COVID19. In current quarter Food Service revenues grown by 55%.
- Food Service exports are on increasing trend as we see traction towards speciality vegetarian products in Southeast Asia and Middle East. We expect that the demand for specialty vegetarian products is continuing to increase over time given the quality, variety and cost competitiveness of the Company's products.
- Due to change in government policies, other income primarily export benefits have gone down by 77% in current year six-months period eroding 3.6% of earnings from last year. This is due to discontinuation of Transport and Marketing Assistance Scheme (TMA) and Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS). A new scheme called Remission of Duties and Taxes over Exported Products (RoDTEP) has been introduced in current year in place of MEIS, however the incentives rate in RODTEP ts only 28% of MEIS rate.
- Material costs for the quarter is at 67.1% of revenues, 760 bps higher than last year (59.5%). This is primarily due to inflation in commodities and packing materials, lower incentives income and inventory provisions.
