Our initiatives beyond the traditional strength areas, for example, with the new range of ‘Ultima’ alkaline batteries, rechrageable flashlights and efforts on leveraging alternative channels, brought forth very encouraging results. Also, it is very encouraging to us that the battery segment (traditional batteries included) continued to hold on to a 53% plus market share.

We continue to push the pedal on advertising and promotional intensity. We have TVCs running within every product segment and we have kept the overall tempo of communication high. Eveready has unveiled a new logo and a tagline, aiming to woo the new generation of consumers. The new tagline for the brand now reads ‘Give me Power, Give me Red’. A new look of alkaline batteries has been relaunched as ‘Ultima’ and ‘Ultima Pro’. We have an exhaustive portfolio of rechargeable flashlights, where consumers have shown good uptake. In LED lighting, dual-channel distribution initiative in metros and large towns is bearing results. It remains our intention to grow within our chosen segments with the help of the right products which we will offer at a value point that customers appreciate.

Given healthy cash flows, we are steadily strengthening the balance sheet. During H1 itself, we have achieved a debt reduction of Rs 53 crore (net debt stood at Rs 314 crore) and we expect to close the fiscal year comfortably within our target zone. As we move the right levers on product, placement, and communication I am confident that as a Company Eveready will emerge as one of the premier consumer product stories.”

Non-Durable Household Products company Eveready Industries India declares Q3FY22 result:

  • The current quarter experienced strong headwinds in all categories of the Company's businesses.
  • The battery category saw an unprecedented cost push exceeding 20% in the quarter (scaling up to 30% in Quarter 4), necessitating increase of prices to the market, resulting in market resistance. Also, high level of inflation and lower usage of COVID related home devices resulted in lower consumption.
  • The flashlights category continued to suffer on account of dumped imports from China.
  • The Lighting & Electrical category could not scale up to the level planned. Measures to reach such growth - in correcting earlier supply chain issues & marketing initiatives took longer than expected time. Also, the Company stopped selling all unremunerative and low margin appliances which resulted in a drop in turnover.
  • As a result of the above, turnover during the quarter was lower by 4% and Gross margin and EBIDTA percentages came down by 8% and 7% respectively.
