Analysis –
1.Raw Material Consumption-
o FY20: ₹12,861.69 million (highest consumption in 5 years).
o FY24: ₹4,485.64 million (lowest consumption).
o Sharp declines in FY21 and FY24, implying potential disruptions or strategic
shifts.
Key Observations -
Opening Stock: It has been consistently increasing from ₹5,423.39 million
(FY20) to ₹6,937.54 million (FY24), which indicates the holding of a higher
inventory at the beginning of each year.
Purchases: Significant swings, showing the FY20 peak at ₹13,121.76 mn and
a low of ₹6,042.97 mn in FY24. The trend suggests a shift in purchase strategy
or market factors influencing raw material availability.
Closing Stock: An up-trend, but FY24 shows a steep increase to ₹8,494.87
mn. High closing stock in FY24 is suggestive of low production, lower demand,
or merely due to holding stock.

2. Excise Duty-
o The steep rise in excise duty from FY20 to FY21 may reflect increased tax
rates on cigarettes, often a government strategy for revenue generation and
discouraging consumption.
o The consistent rise from FY22 to FY24 suggests higher tax burdens, possibly
driven by sin taxes or increasing cigarette prices to offset these duties.

3. Prime Cost-
o The prime cost is also similar in form to raw material consumption but is
comparatively lower due to fewer productions and sales in the pandemic
year, FY21.
Page | 11
o Comparative rise in FY22 might be the case of bouncing back after COVID
effect as demand will have bounced back.
o Decline in FY24 can be considered a reduction in volume or more competition
in the market.
4. Gross Factory Cost-
o Power and Fuel: Increased sharply over the 5 years, from ₹744.55 crore in
FY20 to ₹1083.65 crore in FY24. It increased sharply in FY23 to ₹1199.84
crore. The increase in Power and Fuel costs corresponds with the rise in
energy prices and potential inflationary pressures during FY23, which mirrors
broader macroeconomic challenges.
o Maintenance: Increased gradually from ₹278.09 crore during FY20 to ₹349.74
crore in FY24 with slight dips (eg, FY21). This could be attributed to aging
infrastructure or increased maintenance requirements.
o Insurance: Fluctuated slightly but remained relatively stable. It peaked at
₹132.43 crore in FY23 and then dipped slightly in FY24. This was an indication
of effective risk management.
o Gross Factory Cost: It experienced big fluctuations; its sharp drop during
FY21 ₹10098.43 cr against FY20; it picked up in FY22 and FY23 but dropped
once again during FY24 at ₹10712.92 cr
5. Net Working Cost-
o Opening Stock WIP: The opening stock value is increasing every year (FY20:
₹245.37 Cr to FY24: ₹263.47 Cr), and it shows that the inventory on hand at
the beginning of the year is rising steadily.

o Closing Stock WIP: Closing stock also increases consistently (from ₹178.55
Cr in FY20 to ₹322.1 Cr in FY24), though at a marginally faster rate than
opening stock. This would imply higher levels of unfinished goods are being
held at the end of the year.

o Net Factory Cost :


Page | 12
The Net Factory Cost varies widely, peaking in FY20 (₹15,231.85 Cr) and FY22
(₹15,459.39 Cr), and then falls in FY24 (₹10,654.29 Cr).
The higher closing stock in any year decreases the total factory cost. In FY24,
the closing stock is the highest at ₹322.1 Cr, and hence the Net Factory Cost
decreases to a great extent.
6. Cost of Production-
o Total Cost of Production:
The total cost of production varies significantly over the five years. It has
dropped significantly in FY21 and then increased sharply in FY22, only to
decline in FY24. This may be due to changes in production volumes, raw
material costs, or other external market conditions, such as taxes, raw
material prices, or other economic factors.
o Repairs:
Building repairs and machinery repairs both trend differently. Machinery
repairs are higher and trending downward (except for a slight increase in
FY24), which may indicate that machinery is being maintained less frequently
or improvements are reducing the need for repairs.
o Audit Fees:
Audit fees are relatively stable, though they have decreased slightly over the
years. This suggests that the company's auditing costs have been relatively
stable, reflecting a consistent level of auditing needs or possibly cost-saving
measures in this area.
o Printing and Stationery:
There is a decline in printing and stationery costs from FY20 to FY23, with an
increase in FY24. The decline may indicate more digital operations or a
reduction in the need for physical documentation. The increase in FY24 may
be a one-time spike or because of new needs (e.g., packaging, marketing
material).

Page | 13
o Training and Development:
Training and development costs declined sharply until FY23, and then
increased significantly in FY24. This could be a reflection of cost-cutting
measures in earlier years or a shift in business strategy, which was then re-
invested in employee skills and development.
o Information Technology Services:
IT services costs are quite high, meaning that the company is investing in the
technology infrastructure. The decrease in FY21 and FY22 might indicate cost-
cutting measures or the completion of major IT projects; however, the steep
rise in FY23 and FY24 indicates an up-gradation of the systems, more
extensive needs for IT, or a more intense level of digitalization.
o Postage, Telephone, etc.
The cost is relatively stable with minor fluctuations. This could indicate that
the communication and logistical needs have been fairly constant.
o Consultancy/Professional Fees:
Consultancy and professional fees are a straight line in earlier years but then
increased in FY24. It could be a situation where the company had cut back on
external consulting or professional services during the period of cost cutting,
but it was then resuming those services as operations picked up or changed.
o Legal Expenses:
Legal costs are highly volatile and have increased materially in FY24. This
might be due to a change in regulatory compliance costs, legal disputes, or a
new business venture that the company is undertaking.

o Rent:
Rent has followed a relatively stable trend. It has gone down in FY21 and then
returned to previous levels. This might indicate a shift in real estate strategy,
such as consolidation of locations or renegotiation of rental agreements.
Page | 14
o Rates and Taxes:
There is a considerable decline in FY21 and then a sharp upsurge in FY24. This
would be indicative of a change in taxations, imposition of new regulations, or
an upward revision of the real estate prices.

7. Cost of Goods Sold-


o Opening and Closing Stock of Finished Goods:
Opening stock of finished goods has declined from 2063.3 in FY20 to 1022.63
in FY24.
Closing stock has been volatile, with FY20 and FY24 having negative values,
indicating that the stock had declined by a huge amount during those years.
The volatility of opening and closing stock indicates that ITC Ltd has been
adopting varying strategies to manage its finished goods inventory over the
years. Negative closing stock for FY20 and FY24 may be indicative of
stockouts or a conscious decision to cut down on finished goods inventory.
o Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
There is a fluctuation in COGS over the five years. FY20 has the highest COGS
of 16829.58, while FY24 has the lowest COGS of 11617.7
FY22 is a standout with an unusually high COGS of 19683.95, which could
either be an increase in production or an increase in raw material costs or
both.
The trend is an overall decrease in COGS from FY20 to FY24, but there was a
spike in FY22.
The increase in COGS in FY22 may be due to various factors such as increased
production costs, changes in raw material prices, or changes in the
manufacturing process. The decrease from FY20 to FY24 may be due to cost-
cutting measures, better inventory management, or a reduction in raw material
costs.
Page | 15
8. Cost Of Sales-
o Commission to Selling Agents: It shows a declining trend from FY20 to FY24.
This might be because ITC is decreasing its dependence on external selling
agents or improving the internal sales functions. It might also be cost-cutting
measures for optimizing profitability.
o Outward Freight and Handling Charges: These charges have declined in
FY24 after peaking in FY21, indicating better logistics or cost control in
distribution. ITC may have optimized its supply chain, reducing transportation
costs. These are significant in FMCG, especially in tobacco, where distribution
is key.
o Warehousing Charges: These costs have also declined over the years, which
may be a sign of better inventory management or reduced storage needs. This
could be due to better forecasting and demand planning.
o Advertising/Sales Promotion: The decline in advertising expenses in the
FY24 might be an attempt to balance the exorbitant costs of promotional
activities. ITC might be focusing more towards effective or digital marketing
strategies, or they simply might have optimized their spending distribution
across other expenses.
o Cost of Sales: The cost of sales for the company varied with years and stood
the highest in FY20, followed by a huge decrease in FY24. It might be because
the company had achieved better cost management or it may be the
production volumes where certain parts have decreased in demand or have
incurred less cost for production. This could mean ITC has optimized the
efficiency within its cigarette portfolio to raise its margins.

Conclusion

o Raw Material Consumption: The significant decline in raw material


consumption from FY20 to FY24, along with fluctuations in opening and
closing stock, suggests changes in procurement strategies and production
levels, likely due to market conditions or strategic shifts within the company.
o Excise Duty and Prime Cost: The increase in excise duties and fluctuations in
prime costs reflect the broader regulatory environment and market dynamics,
with post-pandemic recovery observed in FY22, followed by a decline in FY24,
possibly indicating reduced demand or competitive pressures.
o Gross Factory Costs: Rising energy costs (Power and Fuel) and steady
increases in maintenance and insurance costs align with inflationary
pressures and the need for infrastructure upkeep. The fluctuations in gross
factory cost and net factory cost reflect variations in production levels,
inventory strategies, and cost-saving measures.
o Cost of Production: The fluctuation in production costs, repairs, and IT
service expenses points to an adaptive approach, where ITC Ltd. adjusted to
market and operational changes by reducing costs in some areas and
reinvesting in others, such as employee training and IT infrastructure.
o Cost of Goods Sold and Cost of Sales: The fluctuations in COGS and cost of
sales indicate ongoing efforts to optimize production and distribution
strategies. The decrease in commissions, freight charges, and warehousing
costs reflects improvements in supply chain and logistics efficiency. ITC Ltd.
may have also reduced its marketing spend in favor of more efficient
strategies.
