Higher Gross Profit Margin

Despite inflation and the devaluation of the dollar, Marico capitalized on the decrease in raw material prices. The gross profit margin increased by 5.6% to 57.6% in H1’23-24. This increase in margin led to a 16.5% YoY growth in gross profit.

Consequently, the company posted an operational profit of Tk 3,313.3 million in H1’23-24. Additionally, significant growth in finance income was observed, driven by increasing interest rates in the market, with Marico reporting finance income of Tk 218.8 million in H1’23-24.

All these factors contributed to the company’s 24.8% YoY growth in H1’23-24, a commendable achievement considering the adverse macroeconomic conditions.
