EBITDA 747 712

Net profit 487 438

EBITDA margin 24.5% 23.7%

Nestle India's domestic sales were up 2.6% over year ago at Rs 2,908 crore, while its exports were

The maker of Maggi instant noodles and Kit Kat chocolate saw its revenue rise 1.7% year-on-year to

Covid-19 lockdown disrupted everything from sourcing and production to supply.

The past three months have witnessed volatility, uncertainty and stresses that we had never
imagined before nor experienced,” Suresh Narayanan, chairman and managing director at Nestle
India, said in a statement accompanying the results. "This led to disruptions across the value chain of
the company that has impacted our results, though we have built back momentum strongly as we
ended the quarter.

View: Average result and slightly lower than expectation. Lower Tax support the bottom line.
