Revenues ticking for Dabur

Riding on strong growth across its key categories like hair oils, health supplements, foods and home care, Dabur India ended the fourth quarter of FY 2011-12 with a 23 per cent surge in consolidated net sales to Rs 1,363.58 crore as compared to Rs 1,108.22 crore in the same quarter last year. Dabur’s net profit for the fourth quarter marked a 16 per cent growth to Rs 170.52 crore, as against Rs 147.01 crore a year earlier.

Dabur surpassed the billion-dollar turnover mark and also saw the foods division cross the Rs 500 crore turnover mark.

“The strong performance has been delivered in a year that saw the external environment become more challenging with every passing quarter. We have managed our business dynamically through a combination of judicious price increases and greater focus on cost efficiencies to deliver profitable and sustainable growth. Our performance during the year has been satisfying with significant growth across all our key brands. Dabur has also laid the foundation for strong and profitable growth in the future with an array of new product initiatives that have met with good success and would further blossom over the next couple of years,” Sunil Duggal, Chief Executive Officer, Dabur India Ltd said.
