CS - a year of wild swings: CY18 was a year of two halves with strong growth in
H1 led by supply disruptions due to tight environment norms. For H2, profitability
was impacted due to sluggish demand (China new car sales were at 28.1mn units,
down 2.8%YoY; first decline in 28 years) and resumption of plant operations by
other players post technological upgrade. Near term demand outlook in China is
weak due to ongoing US-China dispute, however, global tyre demand growth is
expected to revive to 3.8%CAGR over CY18-25E will boost demand for rubber
chemicals over medium term.
US export share comes down sharply: Exports account for 38% of China Sunsine
revenues. Of that, two-third is exported to rest of Asia while US accounts for only
2.2% of CY18 sales. US share has come down from ~7% in CY14. The company
has also increased its exports to EU, which accounted for 9% of CY18 sales vis-à-
vis 5% in CY14. With the ongoing US-China trade dispute, we expect CS to focus
more on non-US markets.
This opens up opportunities for major player like Nocil, which has multi-decade
relationship with global Tyre players. Nocil has made a modest beginning and sent
samples (from the first phase of capex, which was commissioned at Dahej in Jan
19) of 500tons to existing customers in US and approval is expected shortly. US
market offers a big market opportunity to the company.
Benign raw material prices to lower realisation: All major input prices has seen
sharp deceleration due to sharp correction in crude oil and Benzene prices.
increased availability in aniline due to slowdown in Methylene Diphenyl Di-isocyante
(MDI) demand resulted in the spreads dropping significantly lower over Benzene
spot prices. Benign raw material prices are passed on to consumers, which will
lower realizations. Nocil has entered into long-term contract for aniline at an
attractive fixed spread over Benzene prices, as per their recent Annual report, which
will provide downside support to margins.

Working capital cycle improves: CS’s working capital cycle matches Nocil’s trade
receivables and payables. However, Nocil maintains a high inventory cycle.
Accordingly, for CY18, CS net-working capital cycle was at 71 days against 85 days
in CY17. Whereas for Nocil it remains largely unchanged at 106 days for FY19 as
Nocil maintains an inventory for 60 days against 24 days for China Sunsine
Return ratios remain healthy: Buoyed by smart earnings growth, CS ROEs were
at 32% for CY18 against 22% in CY17. Nocil’s ROE’s continue to remain steady at
17% and are likely to ramp up with new capacities.
Nocil margins to come off in FY20: Sluggish demand outlook coupled with new
capacities coming on stream for Nocil will mean EBIDTA margins are likely to
correct to 23% for FY20E (27.8% in FY19). We also factor in lower realization of
5% each for FY20/21E as company passes on benefits of lower raw material prices
to customers. However, we expect margins to recover to 25% in FY21E due to twin
tailwinds of demand revival and operating leverage.
