Commenting on the business performance of Q4FY23, Sudhir Sitapati, Managing Director and CEO, GCPL, said: "We had a strong end to the year with volume-led double-digit sales growth in Q4FY23. Consolidated sales grew by 10% in INR terms and 14% in constant currency terms. We have continued to witness sequential improvement in volume growth with a 6% YoY increase in Q4. The performance was broad-based with India Branded business delivering stellar volume growth of 13%, led by double-digit volume growth in both Home Care and Personal Care. In Indonesia, our core business performance continued to improve with ex-Hygiene growth of 11% in constant currency terms. The double-digit growth trajectory in our Africa, USA, and Middle East business was temporarily impacted by the election and demonetisation in Nigeria.
Our quality of profits has also been improving with Consolidated Gross Margin expansion of 180 bps quarter-on-quarter, 340 bps YoY and EBITDA Margin improvement of 360 bps YoY. We grew EBITDA by 32% YoY along with continued working media investments which saw a growth of 20% YoY. Our net profit without exceptional and one-offs increased by 29% year-on-year.
We expect to build on the current momentum and deliver volume-led growth along with upfront marketing investments and improvement in profitability. We continue to have a strong balance sheet. We are on track in our journey to reduce wasted costs and are deploying this to drive profitable and sustainable volume growth across our portfolio through category development.
We remain committed to our purpose of bringing the goodness of health and beauty to consumers in emerging markets."
