    Slowdown trickles down to revenuesITC reported disappointing Q1FY14 results with 10.3 YoY sales growth.The lower sales growth was on the back of slowing YoY growth incigarettes & FMCG business at 13.5 & 18.3 , respectively. We believethe aggressive price hikes in cigarettes (14-20 post budget and VAThikes) have taken a toll on volumes (1-2 de-growth) during the quarter.The slowdown in FMCG revenues was on the back of the tough economicscenario. Hotels, paper & paperboards and agri business posted modestgrowth (YoY) of 7.5 , 11.8 and 29.4 , respectively. Led by priceincreases & premiumisation in cigarettes, margins zoomed higher by 243bps YoY to 38 . We believe sales growth would remain grim in FY14Edue to the slowdown in the economy and revive only by FY15E. Further,with ITC being the market leader in cigarettes, pricing power in cigaretteswould continue to drive higher margins, though cigarette volume growthwill be impacted (-2 in FY14E and 1 in FY15E). We maintain a HOLDrating considering the near term slowdown in growth.De-growth in cigarette volumes witnessed after FY11After two years of positive volume growth, ITC seems to trending towardsde-growth in cigarette volumes in Q1FY14 and FY14E. We expect de-

    growth of 2% in FY14E on the back of two rounds of price increases

    already during the year (14-20% post Budget in April, 2013 and 5-8% in

    July, 2013).

    FMCG to break-even in FY14FMCG losses have been on a declining trend, with losses during the

    quarter decreasing to | 18.9 crore against | 38.8 crore in Q1FY13. With

    the continuous improvement in FMCG performance, we expect it to

    achieve breakeven by FY14E itself and contribute positively to margins

    from FY15E. However, we expect sales growth in FMCG to moderate to

    20% CAGR in FY13-15E against 23% CAGR during FY08-13.

    Valuations at uncomfortable zoneWe expect overall sales growth to moderate to 13.7% CAGR during FY13-

    15E from 16.2% during FY08-13. Considering the demand slowdown, 27x

    FY15E valuation multiples are expensive. We maintain our HOLD ratingon the stock with a target price of | 328.Exhibit 1:Financial Performance(| Crore) Q1FY14E Q1FY14E Q1FY13 Q4FY13 QoQ (Chg %) YoY (Chg %)
