Foods & Inns Limited — PPTs, 22-05-2025: Investor Presentation

1. Financial Highlights:

Foods & Inns reported Q4 revenue of Rs 400 Cr, up 15% YoY. Gross profit rose 15% to Rs 109 Cr with stable gross margin near 27%. EBITDA grew 25% YoY to Rs 51 Cr, lifting margin to 12.6%. PAT surged 39% to Rs 23 Cr, expanding margin to 5.7%. FY25 revenue at Rs 1,005 Cr was slightly below prior year, but EBITDA margin improved to 12.8%. The balance sheet showed equity growth to Rs 539 Cr with steady borrowings supporting ongoing capex.

2. Strategic Initiatives & Growth Drivers:

Capacity expansion is underway in the Spray Dried Powder segment to meet rising demand. The new frozen food facility in Gujarat supports expected 35%+ growth here. Mango pulp production is being ramped up alongside other fruit and vegetable pulps to optimize capacity year-round. The Tetra Recart packaging unit is scaling up, targeting ready-to-eat products with shelf life up to two years. A joint venture in pectin production focuses on circular economy principles and waste-to-value conversion.

3. Business Developments:

Export orders for Tetra Recart products shipped to Finland, with Canadian market entry under discussion. Onboarding a MasterChef aims to boost ready-to-eat product innovation. A lost tender client impacted Kusum spices sales, but branded Kusum sales via general trade partly mitigated this. Brand-building continues with “Madhu” pulp and “Green Top” frozen/RTE products reflecting portfolio reorientation.

4. Market Position & Competitive Advantage:

Foods & Inns leads the Rs 735 Cr mango pulp market, supplying to marquee clients like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo with a strong ESG focus. Long-term farmer ties and proprietary sustainability programs ensure quality and supply reliability. Its diversified presence spans pulps, frozen foods, spray drying, spices, and sustainable packaging, giving exposure to fast-growing segments like pectin and Tetra Recart. Capacity expansions and eco-friendly initiatives reinforce a differentiated market stance.

5. Investor Implications:

Robust margin expansion and growth in frozen foods and spray dried powders highlight solid growth potential. Strategic investments in capacity and sustainable packaging position the company well for changing consumer preferences. Execution risks lie in scaling new product lines and export markets, alongside competitive spice segment pressures. Overall, Foods & Inns offers a strong diversified platform with improving profitability and growth opportunities.
