I now hand the conference over to Mr. Dhiraj Mistry from ICICI Securities. Thank you, and over to you, sir. Thank you, and good evening to everyone. I would like to thank the management of Zydus Wellness for giving this opportunity to host this call. We have with us Dr. Sharvil Patel, Chairman; Mr. Tarun Arora, CEO; Mr. Ganesh Nayak, Director; and Mr. Umesh Parikh, CFO. I would like to hand over the call to the management for their opening remarks. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening and welcome to the post-results teleconference of Zydus Wellness Limited for quarter four, financial year 2024-2025. Like mentioned earlier, I have with me Dr. Sharvil Patel, Chairman; Mr. Ganesh Nayak, Director; and Mr. Umesh Parikh, CFO, on the call. During the quarter, while the overall FMCG demand remained stable, several categories exhibited notable growth, reflecting positive consumer traction and evolving preferences. Consumption trend overview indicates that rural markets continue to outperform urban areas, buoyed by stronger consumer sentiment. This momentum is reflected in the robust growth of smaller unit packs, indicating increased accessibility and consumption at the grassroots levels. At the same time, the trend towards premiumization remains strong across geographies. Digital commerce continues its rapid expansion. Quick commerce is accelerating instant small basket purchases in metropolitan areas, while marketplaces are deepening their reach into smaller towns, supported by rising digital adoption and increasing appetite for premium offerings. On the macroeconomic front, easing food inflation is contributing to a decline in overall inflation. The volatility in edible oil prices and dextrose monohydrate remains a key concern. The company recorded its consolidated net sales growth of 17%, reaching INR 90,106 million, accompanied by a volume growth of 13% on a year-on-year basis for the quarter. For the year 2025, financial year 2025, the company achieved growth of 16.2% with a volume growth of 12.4%, amounting to INR 26,912 million, resulting in a healthy CAGR of about 10% in revenue from operations based on the FY 2021 base. The personal care segment continued to demonstrate strong consumer traction, achieving notable double-digit growth of 22.5% for the quarter, along with 33.4% growth for financial year 2025. This sustained momentum highlights the segment's resilience and brand strength, giving a robust CAGR of 16.5% from our FY 2021 base. Currently, the food and nutrition segment maintained its upward trajectory, suggesting a solid quarterly growth of 15.4%, along with 13% growth for financial year 2025, fueled by category expansion, product innovation, and strategic acquisitions. This translated into a consistent CAGR of about 8.5% from FY 2021 base, reinforcing segment's long-term growth potential. Organized trade saliency continued to improve, reaching 23% for financial year 2025. Of this, e-commerce contributed 10% and non-trade contributed 13%. Quick commerce accounts for 41% of total e-commerce, benefiting from a lower cost to serve compared to overall e-commerce. As per MAT March 2025, Nielsen and Kantar World Panel household data reported that the overall FMCG market in India, both urban plus rural, grew by 9% in value, 6% in volume, and at an overall level saw a 3% increase in household penetration. While Zydus Wellness outperformed in all these parameters, primarily driven by rural markets where it was higher, while urban also contributed well on this platform. Let me give you an example. The overall household penetration for Zydus Wellness grew almost four times that of the market average, reflecting the strong brand equity, expanding reach, and strong resonance across households. We continue to drive innovation by leveraging company's strong research and development capabilities, while a comprehensive list of launches and extensions for FY 2025 is available on our website. This quarter saw Everyuth brand entering sheet mask category with the launch of three exciting variants: Golden Glow, Anti-Pollution, and Aloe Cucumber. Gross margins have demonstrated stability with modest upward trend in a year-to-year comparison despite ongoing inflationary challenges. The performance is a result of prudent strategic hedging, a favorable product mix, and calculated pricing strategies. Consequently, we have seen consistent margin expansion to net sales across all quarters on a year-on-year basis, delivering 42 basis points in the quarter, 168 basis points for the year, and a total of 361 basis points over two years, financial year 2024 and financial year 2025. These results further strengthen our confidence in the effectiveness of our plans and actions. On the EBITDA front, the company delivered a growth of 17.1%, reaching INR 1,900 million for the quarter, while net profit after tax increased 14.4% to INR 1,719 million. For the financial year 2025, EBITDA grew by 23.2%, closing the year to INR 3,797 million. In net profit, excluding exceptional items and one-time deferred tax assets, it rose by 30% to INR 3,410 million. Additionally, reported net profit as a percentage of revenue from operations improved by 1.3% on a year-on-year basis. Earnings per share also registered a strong growth from 41.94 to 54.52 in financial year 2025. We remain focused on consistently enhancing shareholder value. In line with this, the board has recommended a final dividend of INR 6 per equity share of face value INR 10, which is 60%, representing a 20% increase over the dividend declared in the previous financial year. The board has also recommended a stock split in the ratio of 1:5, reducing the face value of INR 10 to 2 to improve share accessibility. Both proposals are subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming hearing. The company's cash conversion from operations at INR 3,800 million to EBITDA of INR 3,797 million reflects a strong realization of 100%, demonstrating its ability to effectively support growth initiatives, maintain financial flexibility, and reinforce its commitment to disciplined capital allocation. Alongside financial performance, the company recognizes its responsibility towards environmental, social, and governance factors. As a result, our recent ESG publication and S&P Global Rating for FY 2024 reflect a significant increase of 36.2%, reaching ESG score of 79. Notably, we have secured 99 percentile amongst 390 companies in our peer group with a 96% disclosure rate, covering both required and additional disclosures. With that, let me share some of the highlights of the operations for the year gone by, which will also cover category growth, market share numbers as per MAT March 2025 report of Nielsen and IQVIA. On the personal care front, Everyuth continues to outperform the category, delivering strong and consistent performance. The face scrub category grew by 20% at MAT level. Everyuth scrub maintained its leadership position with 48.5% market share, marking a remarkable increase of 321.4 basis points over the same period last year. The peel-off category grew by 24% at the MAT level. Everyuth peel-off remains the market leader with 77.7% market share, reflecting a 6.1 basis point gain over the previous year. Everyuth brand holds the fifth position in the overall patient cleansing segment, holding 7.7% market share. Nycil outperformed category growth, continuing its strong and consistent performance. The prickly heat powder category grew by 21% at MAT level. Nycil has maintained its number one position with a market share of 33.8%. On the Glucon-D front, Glucon-D maintained its leadership in the glucose powder category with a market share of 58.8% at the MAT level. The glucose powder category grew by 19.7% at the MAT level, reflecting a continued consumer demand and regional relevance. The nutritional drink category has reported a decline of 2.1% at the MAT level with a continued softness across key metrics. Brand currently holds a market share of 4.0% at the MAT level. On the sweetness front, Sugar Free brand continues to maintain its dominant position, holding a commanding 95.9% market share in the sugar substitute category, which has grown by 6.7% at the MAT level. Sugar Free Green is delivering strong double-digit growth, fueled by rising consumer demand and increased volume uptake over the last several quarters. During the year, the company extended Sugar Free D'lite Cookies to organized channels in the domestic market, receiving favorable consumer feedback. I'm lite, a low-calorie sugar alternative blended with Stevia, continues to receive positive market feedback, showcasing strong consumer adoption and potential for future growth. On the nutritionals front, continuously expanding and diversifying the product portfolio, delivering double-digit growth with a five-year CAGR supported by consistent volume growth in a wide-ranging product portfolio. Growth driven by dedicated B2B and B2C teams, ensuring sustained demand across multiple channels. On the new business of Ritebite, following the 100% acquisition of Naturell India Private Limited in the later part of the previous quarter, the business is performing as expected. Integration and digitalization transformation are progressing smoothly, and the business continues to deliver strong growth across its product portfolio. Operational and strategic initiatives are on track, further reinforcing confidence in the long-term potential of the acquisition. We remain committed to improving margins and profitability in the coming quarters. Thank you, and we will now begin the Q&A. Over to the coordinator. Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touch-tone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. The first question is from the line of Tejas Shah from Avendus Sp ark. Please go ahead. Hi, sir. Thanks for the opportunity. My first question is actually the first couple of questions are around the quarterly numbers. How did the organic volume and value growth trend this quarter? Employee cost seems to have some inflation in this quarter. Is there any one-off, or should we consider this as a new run rate? Thank you, Tejas. First, I think comparable base business growth has low double digits, so we continue on our double-digit trajectory on our business as is, and reflected in mid to high volume growth, single-digit volume growth. It is backed by a consistent volume growth as well. The employee expense growth is driven by a couple of factors. One, of course, is the fact that we have variable pay part of the cost structure, and there has been a good performance, which we have to do. Secondly, there is a higher cost of people because the entire team of the acquired business is on payroll, some of the where we, yeah, the last mile sale, which typically most FMCGs work on a third-party payroll or a distributor payroll. Therefore, there is a slightly higher percentage cost, which will therefore, there is a disproportionate increase in the base. Going forward, I think there should be some moderation, but this is the kind of base. This is the broad reason. Perfect. Very clear. Sir, EBITDA margins on annual basis have improved after a gap of four years on a year-on-year basis. First of all, congrats for that, but is there a sustainable shift here, or any guidance would you like to call out at this point? Tejas, I think we have been maintaining our clear intent as to move these numbers to 17%-18% in the next couple of years. Most of our actions are in this space where we are strongly driving our starting with our gross margins to stay positive. So basis of some gross margin, which is going back into investing for the brand and growth. Rest of that, we'll take it to EBITDA, and we'll also hope that with this growth momentum, we can also get some operating leverage. We do believe that structurally, we want to drive the EBITDA back to higher levels that we missed over the last three, four years. The last one, if I may. Yeah, yeah. Perfect, sir. Yeah. The last one, if I may squeeze in on quick commerce, you made a very strong remark on that, that channel is doing fabulously well. Is it helping us to premiumize and reach new consumers, which we are not catering before, or is it largely serving the existing customers through a new channel? I think it's a bit of both because quick commerce increases accessibility in the urban space. Top 10, 15 towns, top 10, 12 towns is where the max impact you find, and it increases accessibility because distribution, however good it may be, has its own nuances, has its own challenges. It obviously helps democratize better, and therefore able to reach some new consumers. We are finding at least a few of our new spaces that we've got ourselves, we get much better, faster response in quick commerce. The challenges of using the limited availability of retail share is overcome by this. It is doing both. It is obviously replacing some of the existing spaces, but it is also helping us reach out to a new set of consumers. I s there any brand which is over-indexed on growth in this channel? There are two or three brands which we believe are doing very well, but let me give you one example which stands out to my mind is that my, one is Complan. We find online and quick commerce has a higher-than-company index. Even a whole chain product like a butter does exceedingly well in this than in retail. Clearly, some of these brands do find good traction with this. That's all from my side, and sir, all the best for coming quarters. Thank you. We'll take our next question from the line of Kinjal Mota from Banyan Tree Advisors. Please go ahead. Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. My question is on Ritebite acquisition that we did. If you can give any comments on what is the kind of growth that the brand saw in FY 2025, and moving forward, what is the kind of growth and margins that we could expect from Ritebite coming up? While we do not share exact, but we can tell you right now because it is going to be to give you a flavor of it. The business has been only for about four months with us. We have seen higher than 50% growth on this brand, supported by tailwinds and a lot of good execution by the team. The margins have been positive, low single digits, and we hope to build on this as we go along with the operating leverage and synergy benefits coming. Sure, sure. Moving ahead, what would be the sustainable growth that we expect in the next three years or so? If you could comment on that. I think it's early days because we do believe there is a very high growth, something we mentioned at the time of acquisition also that over the last three to five years, the business has done about 25% plus as a CAGR. We hope to continue doing that. Right now, we are tracking reasonably well on that. Sure, sure. Thank you. Thank you. That's all from my end. Best of luck. Thank you. The next question is from the line of Mayur from Wealth Manager. Please go ahead. Good evening, sir, and thank you for taking my question. Am I audible? I am a little under the weather, so apologies for my voice. Yes, you're audible. Okay. So actually, just a couple of questions from a seasonality perspective. Now, for us as a company overall, this Q4 and then the upcoming Q1 is the lion's share. Now, I understand it's a very short duration of quarter, but it's an important season because it's almost a reflection of the entire coming year. In the early Jan, Feb, March, we saw the south and east summer were not so strong. It was much milder compared to previous trends. Lately, we have also seen west early monsoons and things like that. On the other side, the previous year, we have seen phenomenal growth, which was there in the two quarters. The base to that extent is larger. Would you like to call out something on that, and how do you see the current quarter going by since we are already almost close to one and a half months going by, and the inventory channel for some of our products, main products, especially for Q1, and how does that pan out and impact the margins overall, sir? Thank you, Mayur, for detailing it out, but we do not give forward guidance, so we will not be able to comment specifically on it. Sir, some qualitative understanding of how is the market shaping up broadly because it is a very important understanding. I am sure you will appreciate all investors' understanding on that. It has been some time since we have seen such good improvement, so we would like to understand if it is possible. Some trajectory, some color, whatever you feel comfortable, not numbers, but how qualitatively you see growth panning out, and how do you see the FY 2026, if at all, broadly? Sure. I think let me just give you just a little bit of qualitative view. First of all, I think it's just two months, and we have the full year. Yes, quarter four, quarter one are the most crucial ones, and quarter four is far away. Quarter one, some markets have got affected, but we do believe that we're working our bit to ensure commitment to our double digit remains on track. That's really what I would say. Everyone's seeing what you've seen in terms of some markets getting impacted. Some of them are crucial markets for us, but we're working on solving for those by, given our portfolio and opportunities, we have to double down on markets where there's still positivity. Okay. Okay. Just a small extension in a different way just to understand. Sir, especially for Glucon-D and Nycil, is there, what kind of percentage kind of demand broadly is non-seasonal? Because while these are seasonal products, we understand, but there is a base demand also, and these are products which are consumed broadly throughout different geographies. India is a very tropical zone. From that perspective, just some broad understanding. Will it be fair to say that 20%-25% of these products are consumed throughout the year, or is the skewness much larger? Somewhere to understand the seasonality of especially these two which are heavy quarters for us, which are heavy products in the quar ters. For these two products, skewness is much larger, so only 10%-15% of these products sell in the quarter two, quarter three. Okay. Quarter two, quarter three. Okay, okay. That's it from my side, sir. Thank you and wish you all the best. Thank you. Thank you. Participants, in order to ask a question, please press star and one now. The next question is from the line of Madhur Rathi from Counter Cyclic Investments. Please go ahead. Sir, thank you for the opportunity. Sir, I wanted to understand regarding our Ritebite acquisition and the capital allocation policy regarding that. Sir, if I consider the Complan and Glucon-D, the brands that we bought for INR 4,600 crore in FY 2019, that has incrementally added only INR 100-INR 150 crore in our PBT. Sir, that is less than 3% yield, if I can understand, and that too after four, five years. I am trying to understand if there was some kind of valuation multiple that you did for Ritebite. Sir, how has the valuation policy changed in acquiring different businesses post this kind of a disaster that we had for Complan where, considering inflation, it is even lower, the incremental PBT that we have added? First of all, your assessment on the other acquisition is not accurate, but we will let that be. We will focus our answer on NIPL, on the valuation piece. I will let Umesh answer that. Yeah. We actually do due diligence and value the company using multiple parameters and methods. Also, the latest one that we use is the market benchmark of the recent acquisition. Based on that, because generally, for startups which are growing at a high speed, there is a likelihood that there is hardly any operating margin there. I think it is a good acquisition because when we acquired, it was almost all to break even. In terms of the sales multiple, it was about three times of sales multiple of FY 2024. That part is really a good price to pay. That is what we have been currently also realizing, that the kind of growth that we have been getting through this acquisition and the operating margin, it has become qualitative over the last four months. We expect it to be FY 2026 cash EPS accretive. Yes. It's going to be, if it runs the same way and we are hopeful, it's going to be EPS accretive by 2026. Cash EPS per share. Cash EPS accretive, yeah. Maybe there's some definition. Got it. Got it. If I look at our company, sir, the main strategy that we are following is acquiring the brands and dominantly market leaders in smaller segments and growing them out. Going forward, is there a certain criteria like IRR or a payback period we would expect before doing any of these internal acquisitions going forward? We can discuss in more detail, but we do follow a detailed discounting method and for valuation. Got it. Those were the questions from my end. Thank you so much and all the best. Thank you. We'll take our next question from the line of Umang Shah from Banyan Tree Advisors. Please go ahead. Hi sir, thank you for the opportunity. Sir, first question was how is the response to our new launches, especially in adult nutrition in Complan and Activors in Glucon-D? I think Activors, we've got Glucon-D Activors, we've got a reasonably good response. It's in line with the numbers we've set internally. We're satisfied with the direction which it is building up. It's small, but it's meeting all the milestones. On the adult nutrition, VieMax,, we've got a fairly good response. The market is sluggish, but we are quite hopeful to build on it, and it's a long haul because these brands, we've taken a route of expert marketing, which is we are only detailing to doctors and a little bit of digital. It will be a slow burn, but that also looks to be on track on most of the feedback that we've got. Early days, but very important for us to build on the new products that we've started off on. Right, sir. Right, sir. Sir, of the INR 6,900 crore category of nutrition drink, how much would be adult nutrition? Any idea? It will be, I think, if I remember the numbers right, about 20%. 18%-20%. Okay. We would like to index our presence here as much as we have in children's nutrition, right? At least that, our wish list is that at least that. Maybe more, but we'll get there first. We have to get our fair share. Sure, sir. Sir, in the facial cleansing segment, it's only the last two years we've been present in this segment through scrub and peel- off since many years now, but it's only the last two years that we see a slew of launches in segments like facial masks and face wash, the anti-pollution, anti-tan range, etc. Sir, what gives us this confidence right now to enter into this category in such an aggressive way, considering the fact that we are number five in this market? The good news is we were number seven in overall facial cleansing. We've reached number five, and we're growing our market share. The growth on this brand is coming from the core, which is led by scrubs and peel off. We launched tan removal in 2018, if I remember right. We had very good response during COVID. In 2022, we had some drops, but we have recovered, and we are building it back. We have also been in the process of launching more products. We have seen the activity level for us has gone up. In between, we also launched, which you probably missed, the body lotion. We have had every one or two years a launch. Some of them have had fairly good success, and each one of them has contributed to the revenue. We are quite positive about playing a larger role in skincare, led by more facial cleansing, but in other parts of the skincare through this brand. Right, sir. Great, sir. Sir, last question, if I may add, how are we positioning I'm lite sugar in the market, and what has been the feedback so far? I'm lite was launched only last year because we had the earlier brand Sugarlite, which got into trademark issues. We are almost recovering. We are still a little behind, but most of the critical markets, we have started recovering whatever we had on the earlier brand that we had built over four years. We started recovering closer to those numbers in key markets and key platforms. Not fully there in a couple of them, but some markets, some channels, we have already recovered those numbers, at a higher price. We are quite positive that in another six to eight months, we should be beyond the past and building forward on it. The proposition we believe is still very good. Yes. We obviously believe most of our brands, and this is practically while it's on the sweetness platform, it's a brand on its own right, should be sizable, at least three figures eventually. It's a journey which we are doing. First, let it cross those milestones, and then eventually, it should have a three-figure number, which is necessary for it to be. At least 15%-20% of the overall sweetness portfolio should come from this brand eventually. Great, sir. Thank you so much and all the best. Thank you. Participants who wish to ask questions may press star one at this time. The next question is from the line of Lokesh Ghosin from BOB Capital Markets. Please go ahead. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. It's around your margin guidance. 17%-1 8% over the next two to three years, I'm assuming FY 2027 to FY 2028. I wanted to understand the drivers for that because in the current inflationary environment, commodities have obviously gone up quite a bit, and that's probably a base as well. Your gross margin expansion slowed down to about 25, 30 basis points in the fourth quarter. While I understand percentage margin is a target, maybe at this time, it's more about offsetting inflation, just the rupee inflation rather than just covering percentage margin. Is there any revision required in the percentage margin guidance that is 17%-18% right now? It was called out before this phase of inflation, I guess. Look, I would say this is a business objective that we have taken because we believe to even invest back in the business, we need to make it profitable. Therefore, we are looking to 17%-18% as a journey. We do recognize that there will be ups and downs. There will be inflationary points. It's been a volatile market. We've seen last year, the oil prices shooting up substantially, which are cooling down right now, and we've been able to pass in steps as a following measures on those costs. Now, the milk is going up in recent few weeks, we've seen. Some of these parts are part of life and part of doing business. We are quite conscious of the fact that we intend to get there. We will therefore use our pricing power mix of cost management actions to keep on the journey of gross margin improvement, which still has scope for another couple of percentage point improvement over the next couple of years. Remaining is to be a bit of operating leverage to get there. That is how I would look at it. I cannot tie myself and say, "This is exactly what it is," and I have changed my guidance every time I face pressure. This is the intent, and our action is going to be guided by this intent. We will not compromise short term. We will not compromise on the growth action. You have seen part of our gross margin being invested in the growth as well through marketing activity. That is a broad way we are in setting our business to build up. Got it. Just to follow up on that, first, for operating leverage, I wanted to clarify if you are going to maintain the A&P to sales ratio going forward since these are good categories. Secondly, are you assuming any certain level of commodity inflation when you're looking at a couple of percentage points improvement in your gross margin? I know there could be quarter-to-quarter fluctuations because palm oil was up quite a bit in December quarter and in March as well, but then cooling down. There would be that volatility. You must be building in some level of commodity inflation to come up with the 200 basis points improvement that you're looking for in gross margins. I think it's a mix of product mix portfolio that we want to drive as our agenda. Second is, large part of our business, we being the leaders, we are able to pass on the prices. We do believe with the lag, maybe we should be able to pass on the prices. The past challenges we faced between FY 2021 and 2023, which led to a large drop in gross margins which we faced, was a global issue where the commodity cycle was globally badly impacted, which impacted our ability to price up disproportionately at the pace it went through. Going forward, we do believe better product mix, catching up on the commodity inflation should help us move this up. Any specifics will have to be there quarter to quarter. I cannot give you more detail than that today, but we do believe there is some room for us to keep building further on that, especially for our top brands. Got it. And the A&P then? A&P. A&P, I think we have started hitting closer to our wish list percentage to sales. Maybe there is room for another half of 1% improvement, but that will play by the year essentially because it will be led by initiatives and what growth we can handle. I think we typically want to operate closer to a 13%, ±0.5% a s a way to build our business. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Before we take the next question, we would like to remind participants that you may press star one to ask a question. The next question is from the line of Agam Shah, an individual investor. Please go ahead. Yeah. Quick question. Two things. Depreciation has increased and the employee count has also increased. I missed your earlier remarks on that specifically, if you can elaborate on that. Broadly, or qualitatively, or maybe quantitatively, whichever way you want to answer. Where are we seeing the provision here, let's say, 2030 or 2028 as a company evolve? Thanks. These are my two questions. On depreciation, because on a console level, we are depreciating the acquired brand from LIPL, right, by 10x protein, for a period of 15 years. That has led to the increase in depreciation in the brand. About your second question, can you please repeat the question because this is no On the employee cost? On the employee cost? Employee cost has already been answered, but if you were to tell that of the acquired entities, half the employee costs have been part of our regular payroll, and generally, such kind of field force employee costs go and sit in the other expenses. It's not part of the employee cost. Okay. My second question was, in terms of FY 2028 or FY 2030, if you can broadly talk on your terms of vision, where do we see the company heading towards as an organization, whatever it can come in quantitatively or qualitatively? As a company, I think there are two or three things that we would like to see over the next three to four years. First, qualitatively, we want to strengthen and broad base our consumer franchise. We are the market leader, and therefore, we want to play a significant role in category development. Therefore, you would find our presentations reflecting our intent to increase the penetration level. We want more consumers to come in the fold of these categories, and we, being market leaders, are playing the category development role. We want to be a stronger, larger, science-based, high-performing product business with credible evidence of performance in two spaces. One is food and nutrition, which can build around one is nutrition, which is macronutrients like protein. Micronutrients could be vitamins, probiotics, several other factors. The other is, of course, calorie management, which is cutting calories through sweeteners or high calories through energy products that we have. Food and nutrition is a very critical base, which we expect an expansion on. We also want to expand our portfolio around personal care, where we are looking at both facial cleansing and eventually a larger play in skincare through Everyuth, as well as the prickly heat and its extension through Nycil. We believe that each of these has enough room for growth. Put together, quantitatively, we want to, we would like to cross a benchmark of INR 5,000 crore, whether it happens in three years or five years is a number, is a mathematics, but I think our actions are basically driven in franchise expansion and getting more consumers to the base. We're also seeking to expand our presence outside India. We do believe there have been some challenges in our critical markets. Earlier, some African markets were under pressure. Of late, some South Asian markets have been under pressure. Having said that, we do believe that every three years, that business can double, eventually getting to 8&-10% of our portfolio. That's really the risk of our business. We've already talked about the bottom line profile of the business, which we believe 17&-18% can be. A good, profitable, sizable business as we invest in the next few years. Just last question on the tax front. Next year, will we be in tax or how is it on the tax front? For FY 2026 and FY 2027, there will not be any cash tax payout. There would certainly be a deeper tax liability on the tax front, but there will not be any cash tax payout. Similar to the current level? Y ou are talking about the deeper tax liability? Yeah. For FY 2025, we have not paid much, right? Similar to that. Yeah. We won't be paying in cash tax up to FY 2027. Okay. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. The next follow-up question is from the line of Umang Shah from Banyan Tree Advisors. Please go ahead. Hi, sir. Thank you for the opportunity again. Sir, the channel inventory currently, especially in Glucon-D and Nycil, is it significantly different as of now compared to last May? No, I think it's in line with what we expect there is to say. We have a replenishment-based system, and any challenges that we see are corrected fairly quickly. We expect in line in terms of days of our forward colors. That's how we work. Channel inventory should be on. Sir, ideally, how much inventory, since this is a seasonal product, ideally, what is the level of inventory that you're comfortable at the dealer level in terms of days? Typically, there is a spike which comes in the season at the start of the season. We start building the inventory. Typically, Jan, Feb, March, especially January and February, the distributors are carrying fairly high inventory, and we support them in various ways for the inventory build-up. Towards May, June, the inventory actually starts dropping. The peak can go up to 40 days. When it drops, it comes down to almost 30 days, sometimes 20, 25 days level also. It varies, and also, it is a function of how the season plays out. Thanks, sir. Thanks. Fair point. Sir, just last one thing. On the Sugar Free India website, we were not able to locate the D'lite c ookies while you have chocolates and Sugar Free and everything. That was one thing. The second question was, how have we positioned Sugar Free Plus as opposed to Sugar Free on a lot of things, and how are we reshaping the brand in any way? Sorry. Thanks for the feedback. I will check it because we are also building a Sugar Free D'litet site, which will eventually capture a lot of our domestic and international portfolio on Sugar Free extensions, but I'll check on the cookies as well. Your next question was, how are we positioning Sugar Free Gold Plus versus Sugar Free Gold? Is that the question? Yes. Yes. What has happened is, if you go back to May 2023, WHO had put aspartame in possibly carcinogenic, not enough evidence kind of grouping. Therefore, last year, we had moved out of aspartame to sucralose plus chromium, which offers a better experience to consumers with the added benefit of better insulin management, which the chromium offers. Therefore, the positioning is that it is more suitable for people who want to control their insulin levels while keeping their calories lower and not as sugar. It has been liked by a lot of diabetics because a lot of new consumers come through Sugar Free Gold Plus, and many of them are diabetics. That has been a good, it has been received very well with both the new consumers as well as by the doctors. Got it, sir. Got it. Thank you a lot, sir. Thank you. Thank you. We will take our last question from the line of Dhiraj Mistry from ICICI Securities. Please go ahead. Y eah. Hi. Thank you very much, sir. Sir, my only question is regarding capital allocation. How should we think that whether there would be any inorganic growth going ahead and in which category we can look for? Also in that line, what would be the key metrics we look for while acquisition? Thank you. I think, first of all, we stick to what we've said over the last two to three years. We are not seeking acquisition for scale. That's one of the key tasks we did when we did the Kraft Heinz India acquisition. Right now, the only way we will look at acquisition will be bolt-on spaces, which we believe are very good. We want to organically we would like to participate. Those are the spaces where we will evaluate acquisitions coming from. Typically, something that we would have loved to do ourselves, the Naturell India is a classic example of we wanted to participate in protein and nutrition, protein-based nutrition. Nutrition, very well, is a market leader, science-based product. We are looking for products which fit into our portfolio and therefore are synergistic with that, adjacent to our existing categories. Secondly, we are looking at which are relevant for India or outside India, which help us expand our base outside India, for example, something in Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, et cetera, GCC, or South Asia, or even Southeast Asia, wherever there is opportunity for us as a Zydus business to expand on. There is a clear geography space we have defined. There is a clearly product space, portfolio space we have defined. Largely, the mandate we have right now, we would look at any acquisition to come forward will be from our internal accruals. We will see if there is something disproportionate come, but I do not see that in the current horizon. We will stick to this knitting for our approach to acquisition. Therefore, if you look at it, even Naturell is something which has been acquired from our existing resources, and that is the existing approach on and our own ability to grow those organically. Those will be extremely critical for us to make it work. Got it. Got it. Any financial metrics that we would be looking out for the revenue side of, let's say, INR 200 crore to INR 300 crore, or whether we would not be paying certain X amount for the acquisition? We will not do anything very small, INR 25 crore, INR 30 crore, INR 50 crore. Chances are we will not do that unless we are too excited about it, which is an exception. INR 100 crore, INR 200 crore typically does fit in. It gets consummated far more easily. There is a proof point of the performance, and there is a headroom for growth. Those are typically spaces which we like from a bolt-on acquisition. Obviously, these are evolving things. They're also opportunity-based, but these are typically something which will get work from us, our point of view. These are broad guidelines, but not cast in stone, though. These are something which work best for us. Got it. Thank you. That's it from my side. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this is our last question. I now hand the conference over to the management for closing comments. Thank you, and we'll see you in next quarter call. Thank you. On behalf of ICICI Securities Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you for joining us, and you may now disconnect your line.
