Must Read

FMCG major Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) has reported an 8.70 per cent decline in consolidated net profit at Rs 225.17 crore for the quarter to June due to tepid sales post GST and higher expenses.
According to a PTI report: The company had posted net profit of Rs 246.65 crore in April-June a year ago.
Net sales during the period under review were up 3.42 per cent at Rs 2,266.69 crore as against Rs 2,191.64 crore of the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal, the company said in a BSE filing.
Total expenses during the period was at Rs 1,998.88 crore, up 6.53 per cent, as against Rs 1,876.23 crore.
For the June quarter, GCPL’s revenue from the domestic market grew 5.35 per cent to Rs 1,196.16 crore, from Rs 1,135.39 crore a year earlier.
“While sales in April and May were strong, June sales growth dipped due to channel de-stocking in the run-up to the implementation of the transformative Goods and Services Tax,” Executive Chairperson, GCPL, Nisaba Godrej was quoted by PTI as saying.
Its international business grew by 11 per cent on a constant currency basis.
However, revenue contribution from its Indonesian operations came in lower by 14.17 per cent at Rs 322.88 crore as against Rs 376.20 crore last year.

“Our Africa cluster continued to perform well with 26 per cent constant currency growth. Indonesia delivered a weak performance with 11 per cent decline, but we expect gradual recovery in growth rates with improving macro-economic conditions,” she was further quoted by PTI as saying.
Contribution from other markets was at 260.27 crore, up 2.49 per cent, from Rs 253.93 crore of the corresponding period of 2016-17.
