Advertisement Expenditure:

  • Fall in A&P spends is due to the following reasons:
  • In May the company has paused because of the second wave and a lot of uncertainty, so that has resulted in relatively lower A&P spends.
  • The other piece is to look at A&P spends aggregated with trade investments especially with customers' promos and more so, with the pricing investment, because the company is also taking calibrated price increases at this point, and not passing all input inflation to the end consumer.
