Dabur International has 3 step down subsidiaries -Asian Consumer Care in Bangladesh, African Consumer Care in Nigeria and Dabur Egypt. The origin of Dabur can be traced back to 1884 when Dr. S. K.

Dabur’s mission of popularising a natural lifestyle transcends national boundaries. Today, there is growing global awareness on alternative medicine, nature-based and holistic lifestyles and an interest in herbal products. Dabur has been in the forefront of popularising this alternative way of life, marketing its products in more than 60 countries all over the world. Chapter-4 OUR PRESENT PRODUCTS RANGE * Health care. * Personal care. * Foods. * Home care. Dabur India ltd. (DIL) is the largest player in the ayurvedic pharmaceuticals and OTC sector. The company has interests in sectors like Healthcare, Personal care, Ayurvedic pharmaceuticals and Food Products.

The company enjoys strong brand equity in most of the segments where it has a presence with brands like, Chawanprash, Hajmola, Pudin Hara, Vatika, to name a few. The company is focusing on ayurvedic and herbal care products. Currently, the company’s product stable includes around 450 products. Dabur enjoys an excellent distribution network of over 5500 distributors reaching out to nearly 13,00,000 outlets. Interestingly, all the drugs under its stable are outside the purview of The Drug Price Control Authority (DPCO). We focus on each segment in detail… Healthcare Segment Healthcare segment is one of the major revenue contributors for DIL. Brands such as Chavanprash, Hajmola, Pudin Hara, Hingoli, Janam Gutti, Lal Tail, and Madhuvanni fall under this stable.

For the 250 Crore-chavanprash markets, the company is facing tough competition from Zandu, Hamdard and Baidyanath. However, as per ORG data the market for chavanprash is expected to double in a couple of years. Chavanprash sales stood stagnant during the previous year contributing to 10% of the total revenue. In the pediatric segment the company has products like Janam Gutti, Lal Tail gripe waters, and Madhuvanni cough syrup. DIL has also introduced a new product namely, Nasarel for the treatment of Endometeriosis for use in assisted reproduction. Overall, the segment recorded a growth of 12%. Hair Care Segment DIL is a major player in the hair oil segment with extended brand equity in Vatika.

The range of products includes Dabur Amla, Dabur Special, Vatika, Vatika Shampoo, the newly introduced Vatika anti- dandruff shampoo and Vatika Heena Cream Conditioning Shampoo. Dabur Amla enjoys a 28% market share in the perfumed oil market. The total sales of the segment for the year ended march 2000 were 218 cr. The segment grew by 16 % during the year. The company has undertaken the repositioning of Dabur Amla hair oil and Dabur Vatika Oil. The hair oil segment contributes 21% to the company’s turnover as on 31st March 2000. In the hair Care segment the company is poised to have a strong growth of 10% predominantly on account of strong brand image. Oral Care Segment Seeing the future market move, DIL has purchased the BINACA brand for Rs. 3 cr.

The move was on account of the company-identifying shift in market preferences. The total sales for the segment were 116 cr. with a marginal growth of 3%. The company views the growth through the Binaca brand. DIL is also repositioning the lal dant manjan in shrink sleeves wrap. We expect the segmental growth to be around 5% henceforth. Pharmaceuticals segment Dabur has around 300 ayurvedic medicines sold through ayurvedic practitioners. The company has 80% market share in this segment. All the products are outside the purview of the DPCO. The division grew by 20% during the year. The company is majorly into Oncology and branded formulations.

The company launched Topotel (Topotecan), the first camptothecin derivative for ovarian and lung cancer in India and Amiphos (Amiphostin) for various anti-cancer regiments in India. DIL is only the second in the world to manufacture anti-cancer drugs Paclitaxel and Docetaxel acquired from Pfizer in 1996. The company has established a subsidiary in UK namely Axol Labs. , for manufacture of generic oncology products. However, global acceptance is a major sensitivity factor. Other Segments Other segments include food products division, which has been restructured into a 100% subsidiary company. The division has brands like Honey, Lemoneez lemon Juice, Real fruit juices, Hommade pastes and sauces. The subsidiary netted a loss of 11. 55 cr on sales of 29. 67 cr.

This was on account of stiff competition faced by the company and wafer thin margins on trading goods. The company however has a strong nationwide distribution network. The skin care division with brands like Gulabari and Samara also grew by 19% during the year. The company has entered into a 50:50 JV with Bongrain of France for manufacture and marketing of Cheese and speciality dairy products. The brands launched by the company include Delicieux and Le Bon. Company Restructuring With lack of growth coming in, company realized the need for corporate restructuring. The initiative undertaken looks to be very positive. Some of the measures initiated are: – 1. Dabur, being a closely held company, was initially a family run organization.

However, subsequent to restructuring, the day-to-day management is under professional management and the promoters undertake only the strategic management decisions. 2. The company has decided on higher investment on Brand building rather than on product building. This fact is evident from the sale of GDC Ltd. and Excelcia Foods Ltd. The company has also entered into JV with Bongrain under the same initiative. 3. The company has discontinued the merchant exports, herbal intermediaries and Generic pharmaceuticals business. 4. With an effect to stress upon core competence the company has decided to put off plans for foray into the newly opened Insurance sector for which it had entered into a JV with Allstate of Finland. 5.

The promoters hold 70% of the paid up capital of the company. Hence, to increase the liquidity of the stock in the market the company has introduced a stock split of 1/10th at Re. 1/- per share paid up. Sustainability Report At Dabur, environment and nature is the lifeline of our business. With a portfolio of Ayurveda and nature-based products, conservation of nature & natural resources is deep rooted in our organizational DNA, and in every aspect of our ever-growing business. We, at Dabur, have not merely incorporated the concept of sustainability into the core of our business but have, in fact, expanded it to encompass our aspirations and responsibilities to the society and to the environment.

It is this concept that inspires us to optimize our business performance to tackle the new and growing challenges of environment and technology. It is a concept on which we aspire to build an organization that will continue to increase value for all our stakeholders for generations to come, through intensive focus on Conservation of Energy and Technology Absorption, along with Health, Safety and Environment Protection. Conservation of Energy Dabur has been undertaking a host of energy conservation measures. Successful implementation of various energy conservation projects have resulted in a 13. 8% reduction in the Company’s energy bill in the 2008-09 fiscal alone.

What was noteworthy was the fact that this reduction has come despite an 8-9% volume increase in manufacturing, and an average 11. 7% increase in cost of key input fuels. The host of measures – key among them being use of bio-fuels in boilers, generation of biogas and installation of energy efficient equipment – helped lower the cost of production, besides reduce effluent and improve hygiene conditions & productivity. Technology Absorption Dabur has also made continuous efforts towards technology absorption and innovation, which have contributed towards preserving natural resources. These efforts include: * Minimum use of water in process by re-concentration of herbal extract and reduction in concentration time * Uniform heating in VTDs by hot water as against steam earlier, resulting in 30% reduction in bulk wastage by using non-stick coating and formulation change * Improvement in water treatment plant through introduction of RO (Reverse Osmosis) system for DM water, reutilization of waste water from pump seal cooling and RO reject waste-water management * Introduction of water efficient CIP system with recycling of water in fruit juice manufacturing * Development of in-house technology to convert fruit waste into organic manure by using the culture Lactobacilus burchi The Company has achieved a host of significant benefits in terms of product improvement, cost reduction, product development, import substitution, cleaner environment and waste disposal, amongst others. Health Safety & Environmental Review Renewing the commitment to Health Safety and Environment, Dabur has formulated a policy focusing on People, Technology and Facilities. A dedicated “Safety Management Team” has also been put in place to work towards the prevention of untoward incidents at the corporate and unit level, besides educate & motivate employees on various aspects of Health, Safety and Environment. The Company is also continuously monitoring its waste in adherence with the pollution control norms.

In pursuance of its commitment towards the society, efforts have also been initiated to conserve and maintain the ground water level. The efforts include implementation of rainwater harvesting, which has delivered encouraging results and has put the company on the path to becoming a Water-Positive Corporation. Dabur also initiated a Carbon Foot Print Study at the unit level with an aim to become a carbon positive Company in years to come. At Dabur, we are committed to sustainable development throughout our diverse operations. And, we will strive to translate the good intentions into concrete and lasting results, contributing to the ultimate good of the society. Deal Structure DIL has signed an agreement to acquire 72. 15% stake from the existing promoters. * The transaction values FCPL at an equity value of Rs 282. 4 crores. * Dabur to make an open offer to acquire further 20% of the FCPL’s equity share capital. * Specialty chemicals division and some other investments will be bought over by promoters at book value or market value whicheveris higher. * Acquisition to be funded through internal accruals of Dabur India Ltd. Chapter-5 DABUR INDIA EXPANSION PLAN Dabur to open new stores, scales down size FMCG major Dabur India is back on its retail expansion track with scaled-down store sizes after curtailing its growth due to high estate prices.

The company has scaled down the size of the stores to 700-1,200 sq ft from its originally planned size of 1,500-6,000 sq ft, besides removing its pharmacy section. “The store sizes have now been reduced to between 700 sq feet and 1,200 sq feet, nearly half of the originally planned sizes of between 1,500 sq feet and 6,000 sq feet,”’ a company spokesperson said. Dabur India had decided to hold the expansion plan of its retail arm as it aimed to capitalised more from further slide in retail rentals that the company is expecting. Launching its first outlet in the capital this week, the new store would sell its beauty and baby-care products, fashion accessories and other merchandise products.

However, it would no longer retail its prescription medicines. “In the health market, the stores will now stock only OTC products and not prescription medicines as was available in the previous avatar,” the company said. Dabur India Acquires 72. 15% Of Fem Care Pharma| Friday, November 21, 2008| * Plans Open Offer For Additional 20% Shares * Values Fem Care At Rs 282. 4 CroresMumbai, November 21st, 2008: Dabur India Ltd today announced the acquisition of 72. 15% of Fem Care Pharma Ltd (FCPL), a leading player in the women’s skin care products market, for Rs 203. 7 Crores in an all-cash deal. The board of directors of Dabur India Ltd approved the acquisition at a board meeting held in Mumbai today.

The transaction ascribes a price per share of Rs 800, which translates into an equity valuation of Rs 282. 4 Crores and an enterprise valuation of approximately Rs 300 Crores of Fem Care Pharma Ltd. Dabur will make an open offer for an additional 20% shares in the Company as required under the takeover regulations. “Acquisition of Fem Care Pharma is in line with our strategy to aggressively expand Dabur’s scale of operations and strengthen its presence in the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) space. This transaction would give Dabur an entry into the high-growth skin care market with an established brand name ‘FEM’. Further, Dabur also has the potential to extend the brand into newer and related skin care categories,” said Dr.

Anand Burman, Chairman, Dabur India Ltd. Fem Care Pharma Ltd, which has a leadership position in the fairness bleach category and a strong market position in hair removal and liquid soap category, is best known for its brand ‘FEM’. The other brands in its portfolio include Oxybleach cream, Botanica anti-ageing cream, Stratum colour protecting hair conditioners, SAKA men’s bleach and Bambi fabric softeners. FCPL, which reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 9. 75 crores in the first half of the 2008-09 fiscal on a turnover of Rs 54. 45 crores, also has a sizeable international market presence in markets such as Yemen, MaldivesMauritius, Malaysia, UAE, Oman etc. The acquisition brings to Dabur a portfolio of well-known household brands that enjoy a pole position in their respective categories, offering us a strong platform to enter newer product categories and markets. Fem’s brands fit in well with Dabur’s future growth plans, both for India and international markets. As with our previous acquisition and subsequent integration of Balsara’s Hygiene and Home products businesses, the Fem Care Pharma Ltd transaction too would offer substantial synergies for expanding the reach of Fem’s brands in all our geographies as well as better management of overall system costs,” said Mr. Sunil Duggal, CEO, Dabur India Ltd.

Strengths of Dabur will help expand the distribution of Fem’s brands across India and fuel faster growth for the company, both in India and abroad, thereby enhancing shareholder value,” said Ms Sunita Ramnathkar, Joint Managing Director, Fem Care Pharma Ltd. “As Dabur gains access to Fem’s research capabilities, we believe it will be able to broaden the company’s product portfolio and further capitalize on the emerging opportunities in domestic and international markets,” said Mr. Sunil H. Pophale, Chairman & Managing Director, Fem Care Pharma Ltd. KPMG Corporate Finance was the financial advisor to the promoters of Fem Care Pharma Ltd and Ambit Corporate Finance was the financial advisor to Dabur India Ltd. | Scale up presence in the skincare segment Dabur has taken two major initiatives in this regard. Firstly it has acquired Fem Care, for entering the mainstream skincare segment.

The Fem acquisition consolidates Dabur’s position as one of the leading consumer goods company in India with presence in skincare, oral care, hair care, healthcare and foods. It will contribute not only to its top-line but will also generate significant cost synergies. Secondly, it has launched Uveda, a range of premium Ayurvedic skin-care products. This range including moisturizing, face wash and fairness products would be positioned in the mid-priced segment. Given Dabur’s track record of successfully positioning new brands, strong hold in the Ayurvedic segment and wide distribution network, this new launch holds good potential. Expand global presence: The international business division of the company contributes nearly 20% to the total revenues. The revenue from this segment grew by 52. % YoY during Q1FY10 led by 80% growth from Bangladesh, 65% from GCC countries, 63. 4% from Egypt, and 62% from Nepal. The company is looking at increasing its contribution from international business. For this it is on a look out for acquisition opportunities in the sub-Saharan Africa for which it plans to spend Rs. 10bn. The company is capable of funding such acquisition from internal accruals with minimal borrowings. Also to increase its presence in the US market, the company is planning to build a proper distribution network. Retail business to break-even in FY11: Dabur’s retail business posted a loss of Rs. 240m in FY09. This loss had however reduced by less than 50% in FY09 as compared to FY08.

Dabur plans to further reduce the loss and break-even by FY11 as it plans cost cutting by adopting a revenue sharing model with the land owners instead of paying rent. This model which is less risky will ensure faster break-even. The company operates its retail business through its subsidiary H&B stores and operates its retail chain under the brand name ‘News’. Future Plans Dabur India had planned capex of Rs. 1. 5bn during FY10 of which nearly half the amount has already been spent. This amount is largely being spent on plant expansion in Uttaranchal and Himachal Pradesh. Key Positives * Strong brand portfolio – many of them are market leaders in the respective product category.
