Profit before Exceptional Items and Taxes at Rs. 127 crores is higher as compared to corresponding quarter of previous year led by volume increase and benefit of lower commodity costs partly offset by increased spends behind brands.

Accordingly, comparatives for the year ended March, 31 2019 have not been restated. On transition, the cumulative effect of applying the standard resulted in Rs 15 cores being debited to retained earnings, net of taxes.

6.  Previous period's figures have been regrouped / rearranged, to the extent necessary, to conform to current period's classifications.

7.  The aforementioned results were reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board on February 04, 2020 and subsequently taken on record by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 04, 2020. The Statutory Auditors of the Company have conducted limited review on these results.
