Compounds
Key raw materials being used are Herbs, Jari booti and Raw Madhu that signifies the fact that
most of the Dabur products are naturally made and are good for skin and health. Chemicals and
perfumeries also form a vital part of the raw materials. The consumption of raw material has
increased over the past four years signifying the increased sales and hence the increased profits
of the products and the company.

growth of 422% in the past 4 years. This has been the mainstay of the Overall sales.

Most of the consumption of Dabur is in-house, that is Domestic and only around 4.3% of the
produce is exported.
The average growth rate over the four years is more for exports (41%) as compared to domestic
(20%). So the company is steadily increasing its exports but there is still a long way to go before
Dabur can make a name for itself in the international market.
The domestic growth rate of sales has reduced from 29% in FY2006 to 14% in FY2008. This
may be due to the tough competition in the domestic market and the economic downturn.

We can see in the figure that the dividend is dependent on the earnings per share (EPS) of the
company. i.e. when EPS increases, the company pays a higher dividend and vice-versa. Initially
Page 27 of 113
from 2000 to 2002 the dividend decreased. This was due to a share split in 2000. Then there was
an increase till 2005, when it again started to decline. This was because the earnings per share
had reduced. This year both EPS and Dividend increased. The dividend paid this year was 175%
as compared to 150% paid last year.

Application of Funds
Fixed assets of Dabur
Dabur owns fixed assets worth 360.03 crores at depreciated value compared to last years
294.43 crores . Within the fixed assets plant and machinery, that is, assets directly needed for
production stands at 133.75 crores i.e. 37% of the total fixed assets. Next is the amount invested
in buildings i.e. 117.17 crores. The company has invested substantially higher in buildings.
The advance against capital goods worth 591.77 lakhs has been included in the total fixed assets.
However this have not been received yet. It may be observed that no depreciation has been
provided on freehold land and livestock. The company has almost negligibly increased leasehold
land while substantially increasing the freehold land from last year.
Investments FY 08- 270 crores, FY 09- 437 Crores
Daburs investments are more than its fixed assets by almost 76 crores totaling to 436 crores. The
total investment is a substantial figure compared to the total asset size. It has invested almost 117
crores in mutual funds while it has invested 21.5 crores in government bonds. Thus it can be said
that the co. carries surplus cash in business which it utilizes in investing. The co. believes in
investments. The co has also invested almost 87 crores in its subsidiaries.
Page 33 of 113
Finally the main reason for the 62% increase in its investments from last year is the advance paid
against the equity shares of Fem Care Pharma Ltd which Dabur has proposed to acquire. It totals
to almost 205 crores. Thus the company has taken a significant step towards expanding its
business by taking the decision to acquire to FEM.
Current Assets, loans and advances
The company has reported debtors of 236 crores while the total sales is around 2400 crores. So
comparatively it is a smaller picture. Also the debts which are considered doubtful is around 12
crores, which is a small figure compared to total debtors.Also it can be seen that the co. has
invested around 100 crores in fixed deposits.
Dabur has around 31.5 crores in cash balances. They constitute an insignificant part of the
current assets,although they play a crucial role in operations.
Loans and advances of Dabur is around 227 crores which includes security deposits with various
authorities and advance payment of tax as a major constituent. The debtors which are outstanding
for a period exceeding six months are mostly considered doubtful, hence a provision has been
made for them. No provision has been made for the debtors for a period of less than six months.
In the notes to accounts it has also been stated that In the opinion of Board, the Current Assets,
Loans and Advances have realizable value at least equal to the amount at which they are stated. It
has also been stated that the Debts due from director/officer of the company is nil.
Miscellaneous Expenditure
It has come down from 13.95 crores to 8.64 crores on account of writing off. The technical
knowhow fees has been fully amortised, while the deferred employee compensation under ESOP
has also been amortised substantially, therefore bringing down the misc. expenditure.
Page 34 of 113
Current Liabilities and Provisions
In current liabilities, out of 351 crores the sundry creditors for expense forms a major part of
194 crores. The sundry creditors for goods is 108 crores which is very minimum figure compared
to purchases and is almost half the amount of debtors. Hence it can be said that the co. likes to
make payments to the creditors at the earliest.
Out of 315 crores of provisions, 159 crores is for taxation while 86.5 crores is for the dividend
proposed. The co also has provisions for corporate tax on proposed dividend, liabilities disputed,
Gratuity, Leave Salary.
Thus the company has a net asset or net working capital of 78.5 crores which means the
company can continue its day to day functions in an efficient manner.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
The company has shown the deferred tax liability as an independent figure in the sources of
funds which amounts to 30.48 crores while it has shown the deferred tax assets in the application
of funds which amounts to 23.53 crores. The net deferred tax liability is 6.95 crores.

The authorized share capital of the company was 12500 lack equity shares@1 each till 2007.
During the year 2007 the authorized share capital of the company has been increased by Rs.
2000 lakhs, pursuant to merger of Dabur Foods Limited. Thereafter the authorized share capital
of the company continues to be 14500 lakhs @1each.
Change in Capital Structure and Listing of shares
The equity share capital has gone up in the year 2007 because of the following reasons.
The issuance of bonus shares had an impact on the Reserve and surplus which has come down
from last year .one of the reasons was because of the issue.
In the year FY07 and FY08 there has not a significant change in share capital.

The increase in reserves and surplus in 2010 is mainly because of the increase in general reserves
and profit and loss account balance.
Capital reserves: The Company has kept on increasing the capital reserves throughout the 4
years and has not utilized any amount from it. The increase has come mainly from transfer from
P/L acc, while in 2007 the company has transferred some amount from the merged Entities.
Share premium Account: Has come down significantly in 07 from 06 because of utilization in
merger. In 08 and 09 the account has increased slightly because of premium on issue of shares.
General Reserve: Large amount has been utilized for merger and also for the issuance of bonus
shares. So it has come down in 07 and has been rising thereafter because there has not been
anymore issue of bonus shares or merger. It is also seen that the company has steadily increased
the transfer from P/L acc to general reserve throughout the years.
Profit and loss acc: The transfer of the remaining profits from the P/L account has risen steadily
over the years. This indicates that the profit of the company has been rising over the years.
Secured Loans
Secured loans of Dabur have come down from 16.44 crores to 8.25 crores. The company has
taken term loans and short term loans from banks. The company has repaid almost half of the
loans in the year, thus the figure for secured loans has come down. The proportion of secured
loans to other sources of funds is very small, suggesting that the company does not depend much
on loan funds. However this year the co has taken some unsecured loans which we will analyze
in the next heading
Unsecured Loans
Page 37 of 113
The companys unsecured loans have risen from less than 1 crores to 130.7 crores. The co has
taken short term loan from bank to the tune of 110 crores and that the company has taken almost
negligible unsecured loans. The company might be looking to fund some project so it has taken
an unsecured loan this time.
Overall Comment
If we look at the balance sheet we will find that the company is not highly leveraged. It depends
more on internal sources of funds than external sources. The reserves and surplus of the co has
become very high as compared to share cap, thus there is a possibility of bonus shares being
issued in future. The company has very high investments compared to fixed assets and the co has
positive net current assets. This is a good sign for the company.

packaging materials.
The manufacturing and other expenses have risen from 6,985.57 lacs to 7,076.13 lacs. The

Volume of all the products groups except chyawanprash and Hajmola has increased in absolute terms.
Total value growth is 15.21 whereas total volume growth is 13.49 only . This shows an overall higher selling price realization.
Tooth powder & paste and Fruits, Nectar & Drinks registered a negative volume-value growth. A particularly sharp decline of
25.03% in the price realization of Fruits, Nectar & Drinks is accounted for 3.79% of sales value in 2009.
Page 48 of 113
Average selling price of all the products put together is up by 1.51% which basically comes due to the rise in selling price of
Hajmola , which in turn compensate the loss in average selling price of Fruits, Nectar & Drinks
Manufacturing and Other Expenses have decreased from 32.94% to 31.74 % of net sales, i.e an increase in growth rate of
10.79%.
Within the material cost, packing materials consumed has come down from 13.63 % to 13.53% , whereas cost of raw
Within the various raw materials Herbs, Jari Booti & Raw Madhu and Chemicals & Perfumery Compounds together account
for maximum share both in quantity as well as value. And it is here major cost efficiencies have been achieved.

The higher the proprietary ratio, the better is the long term solvency of the company and the more satisfied the creditors will be. Here,
we see that the proprietary ratio of Dabur India limited has been showing a decreasing trend over the years.

This ratio tells how much does the company depend upon its borrowings. A smaller ratio is better as it indicates that the company can
raise large sums as borrowings.

This ratio is very small which shows that in future, the company can do a high leveraging. It presently relies mostly on owners funds
and very less on the loans. As such, financial institutions and lenders will be ready to give loans to the company. Ths ratio has been
increasing over the years showing that Dabur India Limited has now started taking loans both secured and unsecured, but the
proportion of these loans is very less as compared to its proprietors funds.

This ratio measures the extent of assets financed through long term borrowings. A high ratio indicates that the company is highly
leveraged and creditors will not be very sure in lending to the company.

This ratio tells whether the company is relying more on its debts or on its capital in order to finance its operations. We see that this
ratio is declining over the years and is very less. This shows that the company as a policy, doesnot go for loans and is a very cash rich
company. It also has high reserves and surplus. When we see the trend over the past few years, we see that the company has now
started taking loans but Is still dependent on capital only. Thus, the company can raise huge sums as loans in the future.

This ratio measures the capacity of a company to pay off its interest liability in long term debts out of its profits. As we see from the
above, this ratio, although decreasing over the years, is quite high. Thus, we can say that Dabur India limited is making sufficient
operating profits in order to be able to cover its interest costs.

both long term and short term, as compared to its capital. As such, the company is highly solvent and can do a very good leveraging in
future.
Liquidity Ratios
We have analyzed the following Liquidity ratios
Current Ratio
Liquid/Quick Ratio
Net Working Capital
Operating cash Flow Ratios
Page 58 of 113
Current Ratios
A Current ratio measures the ability of a company to discharge its day-to-day bills, or current liabilities as and when they fall due, out
of the cash or near cash, or current assets that it possesses. It is an important indicator of a companys current and prospective liquidity
position.

Generally, a low current ratio indicates the potential for a strained liquidity position.
However FMCG companies normally do not have a high current ratio because of the ready and fast conversion of ready and fast
conversion of inventory into cash. Therefore the Current Ratio of Dabur is less than normal.
Page 59 of 113
Another reason for the low ratios is that the company is very conservative and has high provisions (almost 50% of the liabilities)
hence increasing the liabilities and decreasing the ratio. The company has also invested in long term ventures and mutual funds rather
than going for short term investments. Infact, over the past 10 years, it has invested in 27 different mutual funds.
Liquid Ratio
It measures as to how quick is the ability of a company to discharge its current liabilities net of working limits, as and when they fall
due,out of cash or current assets net of inventories that it possesses.
Formula for calculation of liquid ratio is given by:
Liquid Ratio = Current Assets Inventories Prepaid Expenses

Inventory in case of Dabur forms a significant part of current Assets, hence quick ratio is low. A low liquid ratio indicates the potential
for a strained liquidity position.
Page 60 of 113
However, a low liquid ratio does not necessarily mean a bad liquidity position as inventories are not absolutely non-liquid.

Net working capital has been up and down in the past 4 years. This is because of the varied bank balance of the company. However,
the low net working capital is also because of the high provisions the company has created.

A major parameter for all the liquidity ratios is the Liabilities that the company has. We can see above that all the ratios are coming out
to be less than normal. This is because the company has high provisions hence increasing the total liability for the company.
Page 65 of 113
Also the Liquid ratios above are extremely low when compared to the Current ratios. This is because the inventory forms a significant
part of the current assets and we know that the inventories are not as liquid. Low net-working capital follows the low current ratios.
Also, the low operating cash flow ratios doesnt mean that there isnt enough cash flowing through operations. It is because of the high
value of the denominator i.e. Liabilities.
These unusually low ratios are not just confined to Dabur. This is a general trend all across the FMCG sector.
TURNOVER RATIOS
Financial ratios related to sales or volume, i.e, those ratios which signifies the resources efficiency comes under Turnover Ratios. For
example, accounts receivable turnover, also
known as efficiency ratios and assets turnover, conversion of receivables into cash comes under this category. These measure
efficiency of converting assets into cash. The efficiency with which the assets and resources of a company are utilized in generating
operational revenue has a direct bearing on the top line. It is therefore important for analysts to study the turnover ratios. Five major
ratios under this category are:

Formula for calculation of fixed asset turnover ratio is given by:
Page 67 of 113
Page 68 of 113
The ratio measures the extend of turn over or volume of gross income generated by the net worth of a company. In other words, it is
the efficiency in the resource utilization from the angle of the residual interest, ie. the equity shareholders.
Sales to receivables (or turnover ratio): Net Sales / Accounts Receivablemeasure the annual turnover of accounts receivable. A high
number reflects a short lapse of time between sales and the collection of cash, while a low number means collections take longer. It is
best to use average
accounts receivable to avoid seasonality effects.

There is a decrease in net asset turnover ratio this year compared to last year which shows that the company has not been able to
utilize all its net worth appropriately. This is again an area of concern for the company as overall profitability can be increased by
utilizing net worth properly.

Sometimes referred to as a collection ratio, the average collection period has to do with the relationship between Accounts Receivable
and the time frame in which those outstanding payments are received. Essentially, the average collection period is a calculation of the
average
period it takes for outstanding invoices to be paid in full after issuance The advantage of understanding average collection periods is
that the information allows the company to anticipate cash flow generated by services rendered.

Though there was a considerable increase in the Collection period allowed to the customers for the past years, the trend changed in the
present year and collection period has decreased from 17.31 days last year to 16.92 days. Still the ratio is low which suggests that the
company has managed its debtors well.

Suppliers credit days has increased from 112.60 days last year to 104.91 days this year. The collection period is less as compared to
the credit period enjoyed by the company which is in favor of the company. This means that the company has managed its debtors
well and the suppliers are having a high degree of faith in it, it also enjoys a good reputation with the creditors.
Moreover, taking a general trend, collection period is on an increase except for the present year whereas credit period has decreased as
compared to the last year. But since there is a larger difference between both the periods, the company will only have to take care of it
in the long-run.

Disclosure of BEPS and DEPS on the face of the profit and loss account with equal prominence for both the years is presented
in accordance with para 8 of the AS-20.
BEPS is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of
equity shares outstanding during the year in accordance with para 10 and 11.
DEPS is calculated after adjusting all the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares in accordance with para 26 and 29.
Page 80 of 113
In case of Dabur, as the weighted average number of shares outstanding is different for both dilute and basic, therefore we are having
different value of BEPS and DEPS even after having the same net profit figure.

company.
Page 83 of 113
AS 18 also requires a specific disclosure of transactions with the key management personnel which includes disclosure of the
amount of managerial remuneration as well.
The users of financial statements, by reviewing this amount may reach a conclusion regarding its reasonableness in regard to
net profits earned by the company.
The total remuneration paid by Dabur as per note 8 is a figure of 1219.15 lacs against a huge net profit figure of Rs. 42499.59
lacs after charging such remuneration. This is less than reasonable withdrawal out of the net profits.
Mr. Pradip Burman, a whole time director, voluntarily has foregone his salary and part of service benefits w.e.f. 1st October
2009. Amount foregone on account of salary and service benefits work out to Rs.37.60 and Rs.7.49 respectively.

The performance of this segment is affected badly by Unallocated segment, which has returned a loss on 28.88% of

As against this, a high 28.88% of capital employed in Unallocated segment, higher than the Consumer Health Business
segment, but it contributes a loss of 69.05% of PBT.
8.63% of capital employed in Consumer health Business segment is contributing a good figure of 14.97% to PBT.

The examination of the issues mentioned in these 2 parts and their implications for determining a true and fair profitability and state of

The cash flow statement is presented for the same period for which the balance sheet is given. (as at 31-Mar-09)
The cash flow statement clearly classifies the cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities.
The disclosure of cash flow from operating activity is done through indirect method.
All Accounting Policies followed by the company abide by the GAAP and thus are permissible.
The cash flow statement has been prepared for the year ended 31-Mar-09 and thus it covers the effects of all cash transactions
Disclosures for cash inflows and outflows for the different activities: operating, investing and financing at one place.
Page 94 of 113
Dabur India Limited has used indirect method for working out the cash flow from operating activities. The statement starts
with Net profit before tax and extraordinary items which has been adjusted for non-cash charges and interest received to
arrive at Operating profit before working capital changes. This is adjusted with Working capital changes to obtain Cash
generated from operating activities. After deducting interest paid, tax paid and Corporate tax on dividend, Net Cash from
Operating Activities is obtained. The Net Cash from Investing Activities is obtained by analyzing the Sale and Purchase of
Assets and purchase and sale of investments in subsidiaries. The cash flow from financing activities includes proceeds of share
capital and premium, repayment/proceeds of loans and liabilities, dividend to arrive at Net Cash generated in Financing
Activities. The summation of Net Cash from Operating Activities(A), Net Cash from Investing Activities(B) and Net Cash
generated in Financial Activities(C) with the opening balance gives the closing balance of cash and cash equivalents.
At the bottom of the cash flow statement it has been mentioned that the report is prepared as per our (the Board of Directors)
report of event date attached. The names of Chairman, two Whole Time Directors, GM (Finance) and Company Secretary are
also written.
All of the cash inflows of Dabur India Limited during 2010 have been contributed by operating activities indicating a strong
cash position.
Page 95 of 113
Dabur India Limited had a net cash outflow in respect of working capital which is an indicator of inefficient management of
working capital.
Investing Activities
Dabur India Limited has spent huge sums on purchase of fixed assets which indicate that the company is undergoing expansion
and is likely to produce higher future revenues
It also shows considerable amount of inflow form the sale of fixed assets compared to last year indicating that the company is
disposing off its worn out fixed assets.
Dabur India Limited had significant increase in outflow towards investments in its subsidiaries (up by 34%) indicating that the
companys future prospects are expected to grow.
For investing activities Dabur India Limited has had a net cash outflow indicating a favorable cash position.
Financial Activities
There has been a decrease in money generated by issuance of shares as compared to last year to the extent of 7.5%
Dabur India Limited has had substantial net outflow in respect of repayment of borrowings indicating its strong cash position.
It has also shown huge sums of borrowings and keeping in account the strong financial position if the company, it is not clear why the
company has engaged into borrowings.
Page 96 of 113
Dividend payment has increased by 95% in the year indicating a very strong desire to maintain the goodwill of the company in the market.
It also shows that the company is making huge profits.
The information provided by the cash flow statements of Dabur India Limited appears to indicate a high quality of cash position. The
reasons are simple and more than clear. It has been generating cash from operating activities and utilizing this money in expanding its
business and in paying dividends.
However, nearly 50% of the cash flow from operations is as a result of profit from sale of fixed assets and FCCB currency fluctuation
profits which is unsustainable income. Dependence on this income can prove detrimental for the company.
Ability to Generate Positive Cash Flows from Operations in Future
Dabur India Limited has generated cash from operations in both the years. The amount, though increased this year, is marginally
higher than last year. Information provided by its profit and loss account establishes that almost all of the cash flow form operations in
the current year is as a result of sale of finished goods. This indicates that the company has a good ability to generate cash in the future
also. Given the huge amounts of money spend on expanding the business, its revenues are only expected to increase in future.

In the FY 07 the PAT has gone from 18,908.37 lacs to 25,207.63 lacs. But the EPS has gone down because there has been an issue of
bonus shares by the company. The company issued bonus shares in the ratio 1:2, thus the no of Equity shares of the co has increased
from 573302784 to 862883808 in FY07. Thus the Reserves and Surplus have also gone down. The bonus issue also resulted in the
market price of a Dabur India Limited share come down during that year from 140 to 95(appx). The company wanted to boost the
confidence of the investors towards the company and indicating to the market that the company has strong fundamentals. However
even after one year in Dec 07 the share price of the company could reach 110, even when the markets were in a bullish run. One of the
reasons of the damp reaction by the market could be the stagnant dividend the co. issued to the shareholders compared to its peers like
HUL. The EPS for 2010 shows that the EPS of Colgate is very high compared to Dabur and HUL. But the PAT of Dabur is more than
Colgate. One of the main reasons is that the no of issued shares of Colgate is very less compared to Dabur.

PE ratio of these companies is dated 25 th aug,09. The PE ratio changes every day as the stock price fluctuates. PE is a much better
comparison of the value of a stock than the price. For example P & G has a stock price of 1170 while Dabur has a stock price of 140.
However since the PE of Dabur is more than P & G it can be considered a more expensive stock. Since Dabur has a higher PE than
P&G it can be expected to grow and have higher earnings in the future. Daburs PE is larger than HUL which is a bigger company by
market Cap, Pat etc but the PE indicates that comparatively investors confidence in Dabur is no less than HUL.
The industry PE is 26.70. This means Dabur is outperforming the industry PE and is a higher valued stock than most of the other
companies in the same industry.
The PE ratio of a company may also become low if it reports higher earnings. However in the long run the PE ratio will rise as the
higher earnings will increase the market sentiment, thereby increasing the market share eventually.
Market Capitalization
Colgate
godrej
HUL
Market capitalization is an important indicator because it may happen that the share price of a company is low compared to its peers.
However it might so happen that the company has issued a very large number of equity shares compared to the other company. Thus
market capitalization gives us an idea of the size of the company which is decided by the public trust and investments in the company.
The share price of Dabur is around 140 while the share price of colgate is around 600. But the no of shares issued of Dabur is 8650.76
lacs and the no of shares issued of colgate is 1360 lacs, thus we see that there is a huge difference in the no of shares issued by both
the company. Therefore market capitalization gives a more realistic idea of comparison of the companies rather than only share price.
HUL has issued around 21800 lacs equity shares and its share price is around 280, thus it has a very high market capitalization. It
comes in large caps companies while Dabur is comparatively a smaller company.
Yield to Investors

Divident Per Share

Yield to Investors
2010-11

6.83%
Thus we see that there has been a negative yield to investors. The main reason is because of the crash in the stock markets due to the
global recession. Daburs share has fallen almost by 9%. . During the same period the sensex has fallen from 15626 points to 9708
points which means it has fallen almost 38%. Therefore we can conclude that the Dabur Share has shown strong resilience even when
the markets were not performing well.
It Dabur India has technically complied with all the requirements mentioned in the clause. Its adherence to the standard
practices and following of the laid down rules is welcome and desirable for a company which is 150 years old.
The company should have furnished more information about the qualifications of the board of directors. should have given
more information about the management principles that are followed by company management apart from the code of conduct.
The key skill area needed for the directors have been mentioned which gives an idea of the desired qualification but the
The Section on Management Discussion and Analysis could have been precise giving point to point information in the same or
in a separate section.
A separate heading mentioning the noncompliance of the company has been given which shows the companys intent to openly
accept the short falls if any.
The company has adequate internal control system wherein the compliance of various standards can be enforced effectively.
This is reflected in the roles assigned to various board committees and its risk management structure.
There are zero shareholders grievances in 2010 which indicates the fast resolution of complaints by the company.
Shareholders are kept updated about companys performance and related matters regularly and the necessary data is available
easily.
The companys sincerity towards ethics is reflected clearly in the section where whistle blower policy and the policy for
prevention of insider trading have been mentioned. It shows companys low tolerance for malpractices.
The company has strived to be a responsible citizen as mentioned in the section for the policy for environment control and
reduction of pollution, and policy for occupational health & safety.
The frequency of the AGM which in this case if 1per year, is a good indication of the companys overall health.
The company has given a section I the report where it specifically points out the point tot point compliance with the
requirements of the clause 49.

SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths
Financials: Turnover increased 15.5%, PAT increased by 18%,dividend risen to 175% to 150% last year, proposed acquisition
of FEM Care Pharma Limited (FEM), a FMCG Company listed on Bombay Stock Exchange, well placed, proper and adequate
internal control system.
Successful introduction of a host of a new product.
Good communication strategies with a host of brand ambassadors.
40% increase in revenue in international business.
Good rate of growth of health division.
20% growth rate in consumer health division.
Dabur red toothpaste became a 100 cr. Brand
Opportunities
Threats
Slowdown in economy
Mounting cost pressure
Sharp currency fluctuations
Slowdown in organized retail sector
Inflationary environment in the country
After analyzing the financial statements of the Dabur by the help of various ratios, I observed that the trend of growth is
positive.
Dabur has strong performance with robust top line growth and high quality earnings in all business segments. The performance
is more satisfying when viewed in the light of the challenging business environment of the Ayurvedic industry, Pharma,
FMCG, Food in the export and domestic markets.
Current ratio has continuously increased but the company needs to raise more of its current assets and quick assets so that it
can fulfill all its obligations and can raise the amount of working capital for short- term investment. Earnings per share have
increased which would surely help the organization in expanding its market share.
Gross income also show the positive trend of growth, net turnover has also increased and return on net worth has also grown.
All these ratios show that the trends of profit are growing at a rapid rate and thus it helps the company to meet the latent
demands of customer too.
Moreover, after analyzing and comparing the financial statements of Dabur w.r.t. its competitors I observed that Dabur is itself
a big player in Chyawanprash industry as most of its ratios are far better than Zandu and Emami.
At last I can say from the above study that Emami (Himani Sona-Chandi Chyawanprash) is also showing positive growth rate
and can emerge as a great competitor for Dabur.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Company already had a 65.8% market share in India. It would be difficult to increase the market share substantially. Hence the
company should focus on increasing the market size.
The company should promote Chyawanprash as an all season product and try to remove the misconception that it is only to be
consumed during the winters to strengthen the immune system against Winter Infections and Allergies.
It should occupy the shelf space next to the Health drinks in retail stores so that they can remind the consumer of its claim of a
comprehensive health supplement.
Now that the company is successfully shedding its image of being associated with middle and old age people it could also target
younger generation to expand its market.
Since Dabur Chyawanprash is perceived to be a Health supplement that aids in the
enhancement of the Immunity against winter related health problems , hence it should be promoted strongly in areas where winters
have traditionally been harsh and long.
Chyawanprash is traditionally consumed by the middle class segment, whereas the higher segment prefers health drinks like
Bournvita & Horlicks to health supplements like Dabur Chyawanprash.However this segment can be penetrated with a promotional
focus on Ayurvedic benefits and traditional Indian measures, which this segment values at a premium.
The company needs to shift focus from a traditional value system that it projects and add to its portfolio a contemporary touch that
would include Children and youth in the Chyawanprash segments also. Children are a primary next focus for the company and it needs
to channelize adequate promotion focus through such media as Cartoon Channel and other children related programmes.
1. The time duration was less for the project as this project includes both financial and marketing (survey) portions.
2. Some databases were not available due to the policy of company. So some part of analysis would have been better if this limitation was not
there.
