INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS The Food industry continued to remain sluggish during FY'16. However, your Company has taken significant measures to ensure continued strong growth through a combination of investments in manufacturing capacities and increased investments in distribution expansion. We expect to be able to continue to deliver strong growth and take advantage of the significant capital investments we have recently completed behind products with clear competitive advantage and "right to win". An improvement in the overall consumption climate will enable us to further accelerate this growth. 7. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS The Indian food industry is still at a nascent stage and we expect it to record solid growth rates for several years to come. This represents a significant opportunity for your Company given that we have already made balanced capital investments to develop a portfolio capable of delivering steady profitable growth. The continuing digitization of today's world presents both an opportunity and a threat. An opportunity because it enables us to communicate with and deliver to consumers in a far more focused manner than was possible in the pre-digital age. However, it is also a threat because it enables smaller competitors to reach out to consumers in a manner not possible in the pre-digital age because of the high costs of legacy distribution systems. We have to approach this in a nimble and balanced manner and are confident that in doing so we will be able capture the opportunities while overcoming the threats. 8. STATE OF THE COMPANY'S AFFAIRS In FY'16 Act II remained the fastest growing Snacks brand in the Modern Trade and Sundrop Peanut Butter the fastest growing Spread in the Spreads Category, enabling us to deliver strong growth in the Foods business of the Company. Our strong and profitable position in both the Snacks and the Spreads categories means that we are well placed to seize growth opportunities in both of these categories with a portfolio which is profitable and meets emerging consumer needs. In the last year's Director's Report we had stated our intent to increase investments in Distribution with the establishment of a strong portfolio. In FY'16 your Company increased its investment in Distribution Expansion by c Rs.80 MM or 100 basis points of Net Sales which was largely funded by savings in administrative expenses. This investment was made with a steady build up during the year translating into an accelerated quarter on quarter growth in our Foods business in FY'16. Your Company will continue to leverage the investments made both in portfolio expansion & distribution expansion to drive growth in both the Snacks & the Spreads categories while maintaining a strong position in the Edible Oils category. This will enable us to progress towards our goal of being amongst India's "Best Performing Most Respected Foods Companies". 9. PRODUCT CATEGORIES 9.1 Snacks: Your Company continued to gain share in the Rs.10,000+ crore Snacks category in India driven by further relevant extensions of the Act II brand and selective extension into Indian snacks of the Sundrop brand. Act II, which is now present in Ready to Cook Popcorn, Tortilla Chips, Ready to Eat Popcorn and Extruded Snacks recorded a turnover of Rs.148 crore in Net Sales in FY'16. In the Modern Trade, Act II was the fastest growing Snack in FY'16 with a value share of roughly 9% of the Category as compared to an estimated 2% share across all channels. As we expand our distribution and manufacturing footprint we would expect to realize our fair share of the category nationally. Success in the Snacks business requires both an expansion in distribution and a national manufacturing footprint. As stated earlier in this report we have significantly increased our investments in Distribution in FY'16. Last year, your Company also acquired land in both Chittoor (AP) and Kolkata (WB). Regulatory approval has already been received for Chittoor where we are in the process of commencing construction. In the case of Kolkatta we will await the necessary regulatory clearances. Together with the 4 existing plants and the near completion of plant close to Guwahati will enable us to be a profitable and strong national Snacks player. 9.2 Spreads: The Rs.1000+ crore Spreads category was one of the fastest growing food categories nationally in India in FY'16. With a 30%+ growth in Volume & Value in FY'16, we estimate that Sundrop Peanut Butter now has roughly 3% of the category nationally and about 7% in the Modern Trade where it is clearly the driver of category growth. Your Company continues to make steady investments behind the Peanut Butter business and we feel is well positioned to seize the growth opportunities and capture our fair share of the Category. In FY'16 the Company introduced small pack sizes to drive trial of the Category while continuing to drive distribution. In FY'17 we will continue to use innovation to drive the Spreads category and our share within the Category. 9.3 Edible Oils & Sprays: With a 76% share of total revenue, the Edible Oils category continues to be a critical category for your Company. In FY'16 we recorded a steady performance on Sundrop Edible Oils which recorded a volume growth of 6% and a value growth of 5%. The commodity Crystal Oil which is sold largely in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana however came under significant competitive pressure and recorded a decline of 14% in volume and 8% in value. Your Company continues to support our flagship Sundrop Heart in this Category with adequate level of investments to ensure that our position in this category remains healthy and profitable while delivering the highest returns to our shareholders. 9.4 Soups, Puddings & Desserts: As stated in last year's report your Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of local production capabilities in this category. This will be undertaken along with alternate options for investment choices, a process which is currently underway. 9.5 Meals & Meal Enhancers: As stated in last year's report your Company is in the process of assessing the impact of local production on this category. Similar to 9.4 (above) this will be undertaken along with alternate options for investment choices, a process which is currently underway. 10. RESEARCH, QUALITY & INNOVATION (RQI) Your Company continues to focus on innovation as a driver of growth. In FY'16 innovation drove the rapid growth that we saw in both the Spreads and the Bagged Snacks categories. This process will continue in FY'17 in addition to which we will also bring our innovation capabilities to test new categories. 11.
