Equirus Mid-cap Conference

Key takeaways

We hosted 30 companies for our annual mid-cap conference in Mumbai, held on 24 Sep’19. Participating firms were from industries such as building
materials, capital goods, infrastructure, retail, aquaculture, media, music distribution, film production & trading, metals & mining and pharmaceuticals.

• Infrastructure: New NHAI orders seem to be struggling with land acquisition issues. However, old projects like Bharatmala are going strong. Fund
issues for NHAI have not been resolved as yet.

• Print media: The future looks bleak for the industry as government spends have come down post elections. Moreover, given the current fiscal
situation (after corporate tax rate cut), a revival looks unlikely.

• Aquaculture: Shrimp demand in the US has started improving and export realizations are also higher by c10%. Seeding for the second crop has been
good (much better than last year) and farmgate prices are also stable currently.

• Building materials: We hosted Cera and Greenlam Industries. Demand remains muted in 1HFY20 though is expected to pick up in 2HFY20. Both
companies are unlikely to do any capex and should pass on benefits of tax cuts to end consumers. The recent govt. measure for funding stalled
projects (those not under NCLT and are 60% complete) is a good move. However, more measures are required for fast-tracking real estate projects
stuck due to funding unavailability to developers, particularly in metros and tier I cities.

• Textile sector: Players are happy with the much-needed incentives announced by the government. However, demand remains a challenge. Getting
new capex (due to tax rate reduction for new units) would be difficult as there is already some excess capacity in system (for instance, many
spinning factories are running at ~50% utilization levels), which would be utilized first. Migrating to the new tax regime would be done only after
exhaustion of MAT credit in books, which would take at least 1-2 years. Current calculations favour staying in the old regime only.

• Metals: Odisha iron ore lease expiry will pose a challenge for the user Industry. Even after auctions are completed, mine planning and approval
would take at least 6-8 months; this would pose a risk to RM security of the user Industry. While permitting SAIL to sell iron ore is welcome move,
using that iron ore will have multiple challenges (including issues on quality and transportation logistics). Iron ore prices would most likely shoot up
in the coming months.

• Capital goods: Companies were not that bullish on immediate start of the capex cycle, which they believe is still 1-1.5 years away.

Cera Sanitaryware Absolute: ADD, Relative: Benchmark, Mcap: Rs 35.8bn, Dec’20 TP: 2616, CMP: 2750

Management Commentary

▪ With the launch of ‘Senator by Cera’ and ‘Jeet’ brands, Cera has completed its brand pyramid. It now has exposure across the pricing chain to serve all types
of customers. The company has 350/800 SKUs in sanitaryware/faucetware.
▪ Cera has ~2,841 distributors/dealers and 11,306+ retailers, 9 Cera Style Studios (7,000 sq.ft.), 136 Cera Style Galleries (1,000 sq.ft.) and 2,700 Cera Style
centres. It plans to add another 600 Cera style galleries in the next two years. It also has 250 aftersales service staff in Cera Care. It would keep adding 4-6%
of dealers every year organically and aims to mostly add ‘Class A’ dealers (>Rs 50mn yearly turnover).
▪ Cera is seeing strong growth in tier-III cities, mainly via the ‘Cera’ brand. In 1QFY20, tier I/II/III contributed 34%/13%/53% to the topline. Region-wise,
revenue contribution South/North/West/East stood at 44%/25%/22%/9%. Kerala is the biggest market for Cera.
▪ Cera targets to maintain an 80:20 split between sanitaryware+ faucetware: tiles as tiles has lower margins and higher receivable days. The company’s overall
receivable days are 55 (41 days ex of tiles).
▪ Faucetware will be the fastest-growing segment for Cera (followed by tiles and sanitaryware) as (a) there is significant scope for market share gains in the
Rs 80bn faucetware market and (b) the segment has the second-highest margins in the company’s product portfolio. Sanitaryware market continues to face
muted demand; therefore, growth would be restricted to mid-to-high single digits.
▪ Demand is expected to pickup slightly from 2HFY20; however, better growth is expected to come from FY21 as RERA/GST-led disruption slowly fades away
with stable EBITDAM. CRS would be doing capex of Rs 560mn in FY20.

Greenlam Industries Absolute: LONG, Relative: Benchmark, Mcap: Rs 20.6bn, Dec’20 TP: 941, CMP: 854

Management Commentary
▪ India’s total laminates market stands at Rs 50bn (including Rs 15bn export market). Greenlam was the largest exporter of laminates (~30% of total laminate
exports) from India. Export and domestic markets contribute 50%:50% to the company’s volumes. Domestic industry is expected to grow at 4-5% while
Greenlam will grow better than that as it continues to benefit from the unorganized to organized shift.
▪ In laminates, 2/3rd of RM is paper (design and craft) while 1/3rd is chemicals. Prices of former are stable while those of latter have corrected vs. last year,
benefitting margins. Any sharp uptick in crude prices might lead to RM inflation, else margins would remain stable.
▪ Deco veneer market was ~Rs 20bn in FY19 with organized players accounting for a ~60% share. The veneer segment is largely driven by demand from the
residential, HNI and hospitality segments. Greenlam had around 11% market share in the segment.
▪ Market size for wooden doors in India stands at ~Rs 50bn. GRLM is working to promote value-add fire rated doors to gain more traction in the market. GRLM
is operating its door business only in select states: Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Mumbai.
▪ Revenue generation in the door segment at optimum utilisation will be ~Rs 1bn, achievable in the next 4 years. Revenue generation in floors would be
~Rs 2bn, which can be achieved over the next 4-5 years.
▪ The company is targeting 10-12% revenue growth with 12.5-13% EBITDAM over next 2 years led by growth in laminates & deco veneer. Engineered floors and
doors segment will gain traction gradually since products are taking time to be accepted by the market.
▪ Greenlam would require to do a capex in laminates every 18-24 months. Any future capacity would mostly be Greenfield as all available space for brownfield
capacity has been used up.

Polycab India Absolute: LONG, Relative: Overweight, Mcap: Rs 101bn, Sep’20 TP: 750, CMP: 683

Management Commentary

▪ For Polycab India (PIL), the product mix in the W&C is 55%/45% for Cables/Wires. Also, of the total W&C sales 80% of business is generated through dealer network
while 20% is institutional sales.
▪ PIL sees huge scale of opportunity in imported W&C cables which are relatively high-margin products. The size of these imported products is ~Rs 40bn and PIL is
evaluating options to enter into newer categories. Currently, the demand environment remains challenging for W&C space. Also, in the near-term

▪ With regards to WC capital, PIL offers credit period of 60-110 days for institutional business and roughly 60 days for retail cables & wires. On the FMEG side the credit
period offered is roughly 70 days. On the other hand, payable and inventory days go hand in hand.

▪ In the FMEG business segment, PIL continues to focus on innovative products. Also, the key RM are same as W&C and hence they are able to get better rates for RM.
Also, PIL continues to maintain its strategy of focusing on in-house manufacturing.

▪ In the FMEG business, fans contribute the most to total revenues (50%). Also, PIL does not target the economy segment and the product prices are relatively higher
vs. many players like CG, Bajaj, etc. while lower than Havells. Also, they are looking for options to enter into newer product categories where competition is
relatively lower.

▪ Relationships with dealers and distributors is extremely strong for PIL. That’s a key edge for PIL vs. competitors. The largest distributor does business of Rs 4bn with
PIL.

Time Technoplast Ltd. Absolute: Unrated, Relative: NIL, M-Cap: 14.5bn, CMP: Rs 64

Management Commentary

▪ Composite cylinder, composite IBC and MOX films are expected to grow at >20% while others in the range of 10-12%.

▪ The government’s ‘Nal se Jal’ scheme will be a big boost to HDPE pipes as it would replace DI pipes. The cost of HDPE pipes is ~20% cheaper than DI pipes. The
replacement by HDPE pipes will be only till 600mn diameter; above this diameter, HDPE pipes would be costlier than DI pipes.
▪ FY19 capex at Rs 2.2bn was towards capacity expansion (Rs 1.7bn) and Rs 584mn towards value-added products. Capex for FY20 will be ~Rs 2bn, of which ~Rs 200-
250mn will be towards pipes business and ~Rs 800mn will be towards maintenance.
▪ Pipes revenues stood at Rs 3.5bn in FY19 and is expected to reach Rs 4.2bn in FY20.
▪ L&T is a major customer and contributes ~60% of the total pipe order book (Rs 3.5bn).

▪ In the composite LPG cylinder segment, the company has cylinders ranging from 2kgs to 22kgs. Installed capacity stands at 1.4mn units p.a. The company sold 8 lakh
cylinders with revenues of Rs 1.8bn and EBITDAM of 20% in FY19. Revenues can scale up to Rs 2.25bn-2.3bn in FY20.
▪ For the MOX segment, installed capacity is 12,000 tons, of which available capacity is 9,000 tons. FY19 revenues from this segment stood at Rs 1.1bn and target for
FY20 is ~Rs 1.5-1.6bn with EBITDA margins at 20-22%.

Carborundum Universal Absolute: LONG, Relative: Overweight, M Cap: Rs 6bn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 433, CMP: Rs 320

Management Commentary

▪ In abrasives, present revenue mix is ~60% bonded abrasives and ~40% coated abrasives. Apart from Wendt business, CUMI has started producing super abrasives in the
standalone entity since the last 1.5 years (CUMI branded CBN abrasives).

▪ New coated abrasives capacity (~13mn sq. mt) will come on board in 4QFY20. Capex for the same is ~Rs 700mn (brownfield capex). Revenue opportunity would be
~Rs 3,000mn at full capacity utilization. About 1/3rd of sales from this facility would be directed towards exports (Russia, USA).

▪ The company has been able to get 1.5-2% price hikes in coated abrasives this year; however, there have not been any price hikes in bonded abrasives.
▪ Revenue break-up of industrial ceramics: Wear ceramics ~35% and technical ceramics ~65% (~50% Metz Cylinders, ~50% engineered ceramics). About 70% of industrial
ceramics are exported; among ICs, wear resistant business is a slightly lower-margin business than engineered ceramics and Metz cylinders.

▪ CUMI manufactures refractories which can withstand temperatures of >1,000 degree Celsius. Most other refractory players are focused on the steel industry whereas
CUMI’s fired products (shaped refractories) go to industries like glass, fertilizer and carbon black .
▪ SiC business of Russia is highly competitive as power is cheaper there and it has also good availability of pet coke. Capacity of the Russian plant is ~80K (current
running flat out) and the company plans to increase it ~20% by 3QFY21 (to reach ~95-100K tones post that).

▪ Product mix has worsened in Russian SiC business. It mostly goes towards refractories and metallurgical industries as of now as demand from DPF has completely gone
out. Therefore, while CUMI has been able to maintain volumes, realizations have declined.

Skipper Ltd Absolute: NA, Relative: NA, M Cap: Rs 5.6bn, CMP: Rs 54

Management Commentary

▪ After a poor FY19, operating margins of the engineering business (~87% of revenues) are back to the normal historical range of ~13%. Operating margin gains have
been driven by stable RM prices and steps taken to reduce overhead costs.
▪ With order inflows of ~Rs 2bn in 1QFY10, the engineering business order book stands at ~Rs 24bn (83% domestic, ~17% exports). Order book break-up: PGCIL ~40%,
SEB & others ~40%, exports ~20%.

▪ The company has started enhancing focus on exports markets as it sees an opportunity of ~Rs 25bn with better margins. Exports orders accounted for >50% of order
intake in 1QFY20.
▪ Management targets to grow exports to ~40% of revenues in next 2-3 years (vs ~15% today) backed by a strong bidding pipeline of ~Rs 25bn in exports markets vs ~Rs
13bn in domestic market. The company has received international certifications from Mexico, Canada & USA, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya, and Philippines.
▪ China has curtailed its transmission tower manufacturing capacity by almost half as the galvanizing process is not environment-friendly. Remaining capacities are tied
up for domestic usage; therefore, Chinese EPC players are now buying materials from companies like Skipper.

▪ Focus of the polymer products business is on expanding retail reach vs being wholesale-focused till now. Skipper has ~12,000 retailer reach points as of now across 40
cities and intends to increase to ~40,000 by FY20-end. About 80% revenues would come from plumbing as it is a more margin-accretive business.

Management Commentary

▪ Shrimp demand in US has started improving and realizations are also higher by c10%.

▪ Apex reported EBITDA margin of 7.2% in 1QFY20 as it executed pending orders at lower prices. Margins would return to normalcy from 2Q.

▪ New processing plant of 20,000 MTPA capacity is ready and under trial production currently.

▪ APEX has applied for licenses for its new plant and expects to receive approvals by end of October. Focus will now be more towards high-margin VAP.

▪ Management is targeting 80% capacity utilization by FY22. Going forward, capex will be ~Rs100mn for new hatchery lines while it will take only Rs 50mn-60mn to double its
value-added processing capacity ( 5000TPA).
▪ Apex’s costs include (1) cost of procuring shrimp: Rs 350-400 per kg; (2) processing costs: Rs 100-140. Operating EBITDAM would be around 0-1% while the rest would come
from export benefits.

▪ MEIS schemes were non-WTO compliant schemes. Earlier, incentives were 5% of sales and were increased to 7% last year. Extra incentive of 2% was only for last year and it
would have ended in Jun’19; however, still clarity is needed on whether entire 7% MEIS will continue till Dec’19 or only 5%.

▪ From Jan’20, MEIS schemes would get replaced by RoDTEP, which would adequately compensate the processors.

▪ Variation in gross realizations ( pricing volatility + USDINR volatility+ Incentives volatility) is directly passed on to farmgate prices. So, APEX does not foresee any impact on
margins.

Management Commentary

▪ USA is a consumption market where 95% of shrimp imported are consumed. China imports for both consumption and re-processing.
▪ Indian exporters have increased focus on China where realizations are weaker but working capital cycle is very favorable. Many Chinese importers pay in
advance.
▪ Ecuador is a main exporter to China and India has to compete with it to gain market share.
▪ Ready to Eat products fetch 1-1.5 USD higher than Ready to Cook products
▪ Shrimp Farming business model:
o Andhra Pradesh farmland lease cost : Rs 90,000-100,000 per annum per acre
o Infrastructure cost Rs 300,000-400,000 per acre
o Capital requirement for seed : Rs 50,000 to 200,000
o Shrimp survival rate: 40-80% depending on the quality of seed
o Feed cost : Rs 60-70 per kg ( Rs 80 with credit) with FCR of 1-1.5
o Other expenses include medicines, wages and power
o Total cost of production : Rs 200-250 per kg
o Realization: Rs 350-400 per kg
o The farmer can harvest 1.5-2 Ton per acre

The Waterbase Limited(TWL) Absolute : Not rated Mcap:Rs 4,120mn CMP: Rs 124

Management Commentary

Shrimp Feed Segment: Key Focus area

▪ Currently, 90-95% revenue of TWL revenues come from the shrimp feed business, with processing and farmcare products contributing the rest.

▪ About 40% feed sales of TWL happen to big corporate dealers and the rest 60% is to medium and small dealers.

▪ Few international players have entered India in the last one year but are not doing well. TWL is targeting to improve its market share from 5-6% currently.

▪ According to management, seeding for the second crop has been good ( much better than last year) and farmgate prices are also stable currently.

▪ It is to be noted that the second crop is generally lower than the first crop; therefore, overall industry volumes may be flattish (or decline slightly) in CY19.

▪ If international and farmgate prices were to hold up at current levels, first crop of CY20 would likely be very good.

▪ Since 1QFY20, sales have been under pressure as TWL is targeting to tighten its credit policy. Receivable days came down to 72 days recently from 95 days last year.

▪ TWL has a total shrimp feed capacity of 110,000 MT, of which operating capacity is around 85,000 MT. TWL is currently operating at a capacity of 55-60%.

▪ TWL expects EBTIDAM to be stable at 12-13% in the feed segment as RM prices have been steady and there is no change in feed prices.

Management Commentary

Farmcare: Small but high-margin segment


▪ Over the last two years, TWL has ventured into high-margin farm care business where it sells minerals and probiotics used in ponds.
▪ Total market size for the farmcare business is Rs 10bn. This segment currently contributes c2% of total revenues.
▪ In the farm care business, the company mainly imports raw materials and then processes and packs them. This business doesn’t require a lot of investment
for the company.
▪ The company currently has 12 SKUs and plans to add 4 more.
▪ Competitors: Avanti Feeds ( through a non listed promoter company); Sole medicine manufacturers in Aquaculture; CP India
Shrimp processing: Non-focus area
▪ The company has a 4,000MT capacity plant and it did Rs 160-170mn of exports in FY19. It has licenses from USFDA and EU and hasn’t faced any rejections.
▪ TWL is continuing with this business as it does not want to lose export licenses.
▪ This segment is a thin-margin business (6-7% with export benefits)
Hatchery: New segment to provide backward integration
▪ Industry size for this segment is Rs 30bn. The market size consists of 80bn seeds.
▪ TWL incurred a capex of Rs 160mn in phase I to set up a 250mn seeds capacity. Another Rs 90mn capex is planned for phase 2 to set up another 250mn seed
capacity by FY21.
▪ At full capacity, the 250mn seeds facility can generate revenues of Rs 100mn. Waterbase is able to sell seeds at a premium of Rs 0.40/seed vis-à-vis industry
average of Rs 0.35/seed.
▪ The margin for the business is 18%. Full sales to come in from FY21 would be from the 250mn facility.
▪ WC requirement is less (~ Rs 10mn) as it receives cash up front. Inventory requirement is also less (Artemia, Brute Stock).
▪ Largest players in the segment include Golden Marine (4bn seed capacity); CP (7bn seed capacity); BMR; Avanti.

According to management, every segment of the value chain i.e. Hatchery, feed and processing require different expertise due to which very few players are
fully integrated.

Management Commentary

▪ Reduction in tax rates: BLSTR is evaluating options on account of some tax benefits and MAT credit that the company enjoys currently. Accordingly, BLSTR will take
a decision.
▪ On the EMP business, BLSTR will continue to maintain its cautious approach in execution given the focus on balance sheet and liquidity concerns. However, BLSTR
remains confident of 10-12% growth during FY20E despite muted growth in 1Q. BLSTR believes that the growth triggers are extremely strong from a mid-to-long term
point of view which is likely to be driven by government spending with regards to schools, hospitals, office spaces, metros, etc. Similarly growth catalyst exists from
the private sector as well.

▪ On the RAC business, BLSTR believes that industry is likely to deliver 10-15% growth during FY20E and the company continues to remain confident of delivering above
industry growth rates.

▪ Currently BLSTR has 5,000 retail touchpoints and is targeting to increase the same by 10-12% on annual basis.
▪ BLSTR has taken initiatives on increasing the in-house manufacturing capacities for IDUs. BLSTR is targeting to manufacture 20% of the total IDU requirements in
FY20E and aiming to scale this up to 60-80% over the next couple of years. This is likely to de-risk BLSTR on account of forex volatility and custom duty changes.

▪ BLSTR remains confident on scaling up business in the water purifiers category and believes that the company remains on track with its profitability targets.
▪ In the commercial refrigeration space, the target markets and segments have increased. Also, the recent initiatives of new model launches have been well accepted

Management Commentary

▪ Branded biz momentum to continue: AJP stated multiple headwinds (decline in Melacare revenues) over last few years and recent surge in trade generics demand
has dented the growth in the domestic market. Nevertheless, company remains confident of surpassing market growth by 20-30% each year. While Asia and Africa
branded biz growth has been impacted owing to channel filling in the base year; however, company stated across all branded markets they are continuing to
outperform the market growth as per the secondary data. On a blended basis for branded generic market, they expect biz to grow at 10-11% each year.

▪ Africa institutional biz to remain soft: AJP stated it expects its institutional biz to decline by 10-15% to Rs. 1.75bn during the fiscal. Decline is mainly on the account
of higher decline in prices by 10-15% during the fiscal. It stated currently there is no visibility in revival in volumes as there are no sign of donor funding revival yet.

▪ US biz already breakeven; company level margin over next 2-3 years: AJP mentioned, it is already breakeven in the US even after factoring R&D expenditure and
it is targeting to achieve company level margin (+25%) over next 2-3 years. It will be mainly delivered by new launches in the US market. Based on its pipeline, AJP
remains confident of achieving 25% CAGR over next 3 years in the US market.
▪ 300bps Margin expansion by FY22E: Management remains confident of margin expansion and guided for 300bps increase taking it to more than 30% through FY22E.
margin expansion will be mainly led by increase in capacity utilization of recently commercialized facilities and margin accretion in US market with new launches.

▪ Nearing end of capex cycle: AJP invested Rs. 1.0bn in last 5 years on greenfield facilities viz. Dahej, Guwahati, Pithampur, of which Dahej and Guwahati’s phase-1
and 2 have been operationalized and remaining projects are expected to commercialized by 4QFY20E. AJP mentioned recent expansion will be sufficient to meet its
next 4-5 years growth expectations. From FY21E onwards, co. would be incurring only maintenance capex of Rs. 1.25bn-1.5bn.

Antony Waste Handling Cell Limited ( Not listed)
Management Commentary

▪ AWHCL is one of the top-5 players in the municipal solid waste management industry.

▪ AWHCL has an established track record of 17 years in executing solid waste projects. The company primarily undertakes specialized MSW C&T projects, MSW processing
projects and mechanized sweeping projects for municipalities. It has undertaken more than 25 projects till date, of which 14 are ongoing. A strong track record has enabled
the company to bid and win large-scale projects.

▪ AWHCL was awarded the Kanjurmarg landfill project by MCGM in FY10, one of the largest single-location waste processing plants in Asia which the company is managing
successfully. It processes ~5000TPD ( 50% of Mumbai waste) at this facility through MRF/compost and BLF technologies.

▪ The company derives 55% revenue from Collection and Transport (C&T) while 45% of revenues from waste processing. About 55% of EBITDA is derived from processing while the
rest is from collection and transport.

▪ Per capita waste generation in India ranges from 200-600gms per day. Currently, around 80% of municipal solid waste generated in India is collected and transported whereas
only 25% gets processed.

▪ Traditionally in India, municipal waste management services have been controlled by relevant municipal corporations. The trend towards privatization has grown slowly since
2013; however, with the Central government’s push, more municipalities are expected to move toward privatization in the coming years. Overall, with increasing urbanization
and privatization, the MSWM market is expected to grow at a 16% CAGR over FY18-FY23.

Management Commentary

▪ CIDCO project: Capacité has won orders worth Rs 45bn for development of residential dwellings from CIDCO under PMAY scheme. The project will be
funded by the Central Govt., State Govt. and CIDCO. CIDCO already has funds worth Rs100bn in bank deposits set aside for the recently-awarded CIDCO
projects. First tranche of Rs 7bn-7.5bn from the Central Government has already come in. PMO is closely monitoring the PMAY project and hence the project
is most likely to be completed within timelines (42 months). Management does not foresee any funding issue on the project.
▪ As per management, it will get 10% interest free mobilization advances to be received in two tranches for the CIDCO project. Expected capex for the project
is Rs 1,200mn. As per the terms, 70% of funds would be released within 15 days of billing and hence, management does not expect any drastic changes in
the working capital cycle.
▪ OB is at ~Rs 70.2bn (4x TTM revenues), offering strong revenue visibility for the next 2.5-3 years. Given big-ticket sizes, CIDCO order management would be
very selective for new order inflows.
▪ On the MHADA BDD chawl project, work has started and should be completed in the next 8-9 years. The company expects substantial revenue booking from
the project in FY20-FY21.

Management Commentary

▪ Kolkatta metro update: The incident occurred on 31 Aug’19 in the ongoing underground construction of East-West Metro Corridor of Kolkata Metro Rail
Corporation Limited (KMRCL) which is undertaken by ITD - ITD Cem Joint Venture (ITD JV). The TBM hit a pocket of a sand aquifer, resulting in ingress of
water mixed with soil mix; this mis entered the tunnel due to which TBM operation had to be stopped temporarily. Further incident resulted in development
of cracks in some buildings in this vicinity. About ~700 people have been affected. Kolkatta Metro project has no debt. Pending works are of ~ Rs 3bn. ITD
along with its JVs have furnished ~Rs 1.3bn of bank guarantees for this project. Management is currently reviewing the situation.
▪ Bangalore Metro Project: Execution is on track and the company is likely to book revenues of Rs 6bn-6.5bn in FY20 and the balance in FY21. The company
has repaid Rs100mn-150mn of loans for this project last month.
▪ Mumbai Metro work is progressing well and margins are likely to be in double digits.
▪ Management is targeting few marine/port projects and projects under sagarmala (Rs 4bn-6bn package sizes).
▪ ICRA has placed its current rating of ICRA A &/ ICRA A1 under ‘rating watch’ with developing implications mainly due to Kolkata Metro.

KNR Constructions Absolute: LONG , Relative:Benchmark, Mcap:Rs.33bn, Sep’20 TP: 320, CMP:231

Management Commentary

▪ NHAI awarding has come to a standstill because of land acquisition issues. However, the Bharatmala program is likely to be completed this term itself.
▪ The Kship project work is yet to start, with the expected AD likely to come in the next 3-4 months. Management is likely to take a chance and may go for
taking the AD even at 70% land acquisition status as it expects to get balance land as the project progresses.
▪ Irrigation projects: Navyuga project - It's in escrow mechanism and hence KNR has control over cashflows. Funding is yet to happen and LA challenges exist.
Megha Engg- Work is on and billing likely of Rs 1.5bn will be done next month.
▪ The company’s railways segment will target only Elevated Corridor projects and execute them through JVs.
▪ The company is likely to get favourable arbitration of Rs 0.5bn from its Odisha project whenever it is announced (bottomline addition: Rs 0.25bn- 0.3bn).
▪ The Walayar Project stake sale is at a very advance stage.
▪ Revenue guidance was at Rs 25bn (+/- 10%), capex guidance at Rs ~2bn and tax rate guidance at Rs ~15.5%.
▪ Tax rate is likely to be 18-20% in FY20 and 22-25% in FY 21. Actual cash outflow could be lower.

Allcargo Logistics Ltd Absolute : Not rated Mcap: Rs 25,775mn CMP: Rs 105

Management Commentary

▪ Allcargo is one of the largest global players in the LCL space. Allcargo along with Vanguard and Shipco command 40% of the global LCL market.

▪ While the industry grew at 3% for the last 5 years, Allcargo grew 3 times the industry.

▪ The company’s MTO business has a ROCE of ~30% while the CFS business derives 27-28% ROCE.

▪ The P&E business took a hit in the last 2 years on account of low capex by Indian companies and slowdown in renewable energy projects. However, the business has now
bounced back with 7% EBITM from negative due to diversification of projects business in Bangladesh and other neighboring countries.

▪ The company has a land bank of 250 acres, which it now plans to convert into logistics parks.
▪ Allcargo has plans for setting up 6mn sq ft grade A warehouse in 3 years of which, 4mn sq ft is already in construction and has already signed forward contracts with
companies like Flipkart and Decathlon. FY20 will see a small amount of revenue addition from these 4mn sq ft warehouse while FY21 will see full impact

▪ The company is expected to incur Rs 9-10bn capex for the construction of 6mn sq ft. The management is also open towards monetizing these assets by selling the assets to PE
players

▪ The management provided 6-7% growth guidance in its MTO business which is significantly higher than expected market growth of 1-2%. Whereas the CFS business is set to
grow at 10% in volume terms

▪ The management believes the DPD scheme would be difficult to sustain as it has led to inventory issues for consumers and has also resulted in operational issues at ports

Music Broadcast Ltd Absolute: Reduce, Relative: Benchmark, Mcap: Rs 10,232mn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 50, CMP: Rs 37

Management Commentary

▪ After 8% revenue decline in 1QFY20, MBL may be staring at another weak quarter as advertising spends remain muted.

▪ Though local spends are better, national advertisers are not spending much. Additionally, government ad spends have fallen considerably post elections.

▪ October will be an important year in terms of festive spends; if there is no pick-up, then FY20 will be a washout year for the industry.

▪ On RBNL acquisition: MBL had earlier announced acquisition of 40 stations (of 58) of RBNL. Currently, RBNL accounts are being audited and no money has been paid yet.

▪ Total spend will be Rs 10.5bn, of which Rs 2bn will be upfront payment ( from MBL’s cash reserves), Rs 5bn will be carried as debt on balance sheet of Big FM which it would
service and additional Rs 3.5bn would need to be paid to complete the acquisitions ( for which MBL may require funding, Jagran can help).
▪ The three-year lock-in period for certain stations will get over in Mar’20, post which MBL expects the deal to complete in 1QFY21.

▪ Tier-3 market stations run at an EBITDAM of 51% as these stations are run from mother hub with only a sales team and no offices. These stations also have low license fees.

▪ Management currently expects 50% of growth to come from yield increase and 50% from increase in volumes. As new stations mature, the management expects 66% of growth
to come in from yields and the rest from volumes.

▪ Music broadcast receives 40% of revenues from long-term advertisement contracts.

▪ MBL has various DTA’s on balance sheet; so it will continue at normal tax rates till these assets are utilized.

PEN INDIA Limited( Not listed)
Management Commentary

We hosted Mr. Jayantilal Gada ( Chairman & MD), Mr. Dhaval Gada (Non-Executive Director) and Mr. Akshay Gada ( Non-executive director) of PEN India Limited. Mr.
Jayantilal has over 30 years of experience in the entertainment industry. In the early 1990’s when the private television channels took off in India, he became
the leading distributor for all major networks including ZEE, Sony, Sahara and Star. From 2004-16, PEN India became the exclusive agency to ZEE for acquisition of
Hindi feature films for Zee cinema. Acquired Rs 30 bn worth of Hindi movies for ZEE. From 2017-19, they have formed one of the biggest movie distribution house called
“Pen marudhar” and released movies like “Zero”, “badla”, “Dream Girl” etc.
Key takeaways from various meetings were:

▪ Producers mainly make money by selling theatrical, Satellite and digital rights of the movie and some amount of money is made by overseas collection and sale of
music rights.

▪ Currently, 4 broadcasters i.e. Zee, Sony, Colors and Star and 2 OTT platforms i.e. Netflix and Amazon prime compete for various movie rights. Cost of movie
acquisition will keep on increasing as is visible in their increased inventory levels.

▪ Demand for good content and artist will keep on increasing and so will be the value. For e.g. Satellite rights for Salman khan starrer movie Judwa were sold for Rs 40
lakhs whereas recently satellite rights for Varun Dhawan starrer Judwaa 2 were sold for Rs 800mn.
▪ Reliance “First day First Show” concept does not look feasible because every star would want his movie to get released in theatres. Actor becomes a Hero when Box
office collections are good.
▪ Reliance may create their own movies and may release it on JIO only, but no big star may become part of that movie.
▪ Concept of Virtual Print Fee(VPF) will go away eventually. Already Hollywood studios do not pay any VPF fee and rates of Tamil movies are much lower than Hindi
movies.
▪ Also, Prime Focus has also come up with a technology where these VPF charges are much lower than current rates.

Open publication:
▪ Saregama incurs losses of Rs 120mn a year and this is expected to continue at these levels.

Godawari Power and Ispat Mcap: 5,435mn, CMP:154

Management Commentary

▪ Volumes: Volumes to remain flat to trend upwards as pellet plant is running at c.90-95% utilization. Export markets have been supportive during domestic slowdown.

▪ Realisations: Realisations are expected to be in the range of Rs5,800-Rs6,000/t in 2QFY20 as pellet prices have corrected from peak of 1QFY20 on the back of fall in
iron ore prices. Pellet prices in domestic markets have corrected by Rs1,500-2,000/t yoy.
▪ Tax cuts: Tax rate for FY19 stood at 37%, while post the new announcement on tax cuts the companies effective tax rate will drop to 25.17%. The additional savings
will be used to reduce debt.
▪ Iron ore mines: Currently the company has captive iron ore mines and the lease is valid upto 2060. However, in Mar-2020 Odisha merchant mines lease will expire
and as per the management, currently there is no updates on the procedure of the auctions. The company also expects some delays in merchant mine auctions and
industry sources are expecting c.40-50mt shortage of iron ore due to this disruption. Management also highlighted the premiums in the new auctions could be as high
as 100-300% of the royalty.
▪ Outlook: Any disruption in domestic iron ore supply could lead to a surge in iron ore prices which in turn would result in higher pellet prices. Pellet prices could
increase by c.Rs1,000-1,500/t in domestic markets due to this shortage which will have a positive impact on the companies EBITDA post Mar-2020.

Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Absolute: LONG, Relative: OW, Mcap: Rs 45.6bn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 1,231, CMP: Rs 975

FY21 to see volume ramp up driven by new capacities

▪ Current order book is of Rs 20.2bn, of which Rs 5bn is from SS (Stainless Steel pipes) segment and rest from CS (carbon steel pipes)
▪ Upcoming O&G order opportunities: 1) HRRL (HPCL Rajasthan Refinery Ltd): 9mn ton capacity refinery project in Barmer. Tenders for ~80k tons water
pipes are out; refinery will also generate O&G pipeline orders of ~150k tons. Total pipeline (CS & SS) opportunity of Rs 25bn is expected from this. (2) GAIL
Angul-Srikakulam tender is out; pipeline opportunity is of 35-40k tons. (3) Kandla Gorakhpur: 2100km – opportunity of 150k tons; tender expected in 2-3
months (mainly ERW and HSAW pipes)
▪ Marathwada Water grid Project: Projects worth Rs 220-250bn will come in Marathwada through the HAM route. It is likely to generate water pipe
opportunity of 1.5mn tons over 5-6 years
▪ SS seamless expansion: New capacity of 20k tons will come by Dec’19-Jan’20, taking the total capacity to 28k. Management expects utilization of new
capacity to be around 20-30% in FY21 as it will take some time to get it approved by customers. Initially, more volumes will come from distributors, which
would entail lower margins than current margins in SS seamless.
▪ LSAW capacity expansion: Current capacity of 40k will be phased out once the new plant (of 120k tons) ramps up over the coming years. Management
expects incremental volumes of 30-40k tons from the new plant in FY21 as approval for this plant should come in six months from customers.
▪ FY20 is expected to see marginal sales growth, which will also be more back ended as it faced RM supply issues from one CS pipe suppliers.
▪ In 280k tons CS pipe volumes in FY19, there were more water orders which were high in volume but low in value. In FY20, there would be O&G orders where
tonnage would be lower, but value would be better.
▪ Titanium tubes volumes are expected to grow well in the current year due to orders from nuclear power and sea-side power projects.

SP Apparels Ltd. Absolute: LONG, Relative: Overweight, M-Cap: 5bn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 364, CMP: Rs 190

Management Commentary

▪ 1QFY20 margins declined 260bps yoy to 13% owing to (1) low-margin orders execution to kick-start production in expanded factories, 2) one-off air freight costs of Rs
36mn to make up for production inefficiencies, 3) training and pre-operative costs from new factories and operators, & 4) maintenance and CSR costs of ~Rs 30mn.
▪ Two new factories at Annur and Patlur with ~700 machines capacity will commence operations by end of 2QFY20. Along with this, capacity addition at existing
factories will take the total sewing machines capacity to ~6000 machines by Mar’20. The two new factories will primarily serve Carter & H&M.

▪ Current revenue mix from clients is Primark 30%, ASDA 25%, TESCO 25% and Garron (US): 20%. The share of fashion: basics is 55:45 with realizations at ~Rs 100/piece.
▪ Company will not add any spinning capacity for next 3 years as current spinning capacity of 10 tons/day can be scaled up to 13 tons/day with minimum capex for
bottlenecking activities. ~70-80% of yarn comes from its own machines and rest is outsourced due to specialized requirements.
▪ Currently open hedges are close to 90% of the order book of Rs 2.58bn with hedge rate of 90-90.5 for pound, 80.1 for Euro and 69.8-69.9 for USD.
▪ Despite, weak margins in 1Q20, SPAL will meet its 18-20% margin guidance as there are many tailwinds for margins in the form of (a) favourable currency (b)
commissioning of new factories (c) lower cotton prices.
▪ SPAL is evaluating options for hiving off the retail business with an objective that both businesses realize their true potential and can scale up separately. If better
terms are offered, it is also open to sell of the retail business completely.

TCNS Clothing Ltd. Absolute: ADD, Relative: Overweight, M-Cap: 46bn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 807, CMP: Rs 745

Management Commentary

▪ Green shoots visible in demand as some demand pickup visible around festivals. For instance, strong demand growth was seen across Durga Puja in South region. Eid
and Rakshabandhan festivals also resulted in some demand spike in West. While this has given a lot of positivity to retailers, consumer sentiments remained subdued.
▪ TCNS continues to follow its strategy of incubating one brand while scaling up another brand. It is currently scaling up its Aurelia brand (through high marketing
expenses & TVCs) while gradually building up its Wishful consumer-base.

▪ In next 5-7 years, TCNS will add a couple of brands to its portfolio along with categories extension to the existing brands. With the current cash balance of ~Rs 1.6bn
on books, it is actively looking to acquire a brand in womenswear or children-wear segment.

▪ TCNS differentiates itself from other retailers on three basis (a) differentiated products (b) 4 channels of sales – EBO, LFS, MBO, Others (c) brand scale up
capabilities. Of the total revenues, EBOs contribute ~40%, LFS ~40%, MBOs: 12-13% and Other (incl. e-commerce): ~7-8%.

▪ Working capital for TCNS is higher due to two reasons (a) higher inventory days at ~120 days as it as raw materials transferred to third party job workers for
processing & garmenting lies in its books and (b) prepayment of creditors from cash available in books resulting in lower creditor days.

▪ The recently completed Omni capabilities in COCO stores will enable a seamless integration of stores and warehouses while reducing the inventory pileup and
increasing the full price sales. It provides flexibility to buy, pay and pick garment online and offline simultaneously.

Welspun India Ltd. Absolute: LONG, Relative: Overweight, M-Cap: 58bn, Sep’20 TP: Rs 73, CMP: Rs 53

Management Commentary

▪ Flooring Business:

o The upcoming flooring plant in Telangana will manufacture 27mn sq. mtrs of hard & soft flooring products. Currently, soft & hard flooring is imported in India
and does not have any import duty. On the exports front, US flooring market is ~90% imports of which China has ~80% share. These Chinese imports will be
impacted by 25% duty imposition and thus companies like Welspun will benefit from the new export opportunities.

o The domestic market will be served by flooring products under Welspun brand with a price range of Rs 175-200/sq. mtr while for the US market, it will be sold
through private labels. Welspun expects to do revenues of ~Rs 1.5bn in FY20 which in a period of ~3.5 yrs i.e. by Mar’23 will be scaled up to Rs 15bn.

▪ The emerging business will continue to provide delta to grow above market rates as new channels (hospitality, hospitals) and new markets (India and UK) are growing
at a very good rate. Emerging business grew >30% yoy in 1QFY20. The company targets revenues of ~Rs 35bn from emerging business by Mar’23.

▪ Post completion of the flooring plant, capex cycle will end, and no major capex will be required. With the cashflow generated from business, WLSI plans to prepay a
significant amount of debt by Mar’20.

▪ Under the new tax regime, WLSI will benefit to the extent of ~4-10% depending upon MAT credit available in the books. It plans to move to the new tax system in
next year post exhausting its MAT credit.
