Buy S.H.Kelkar &Co. Ltd Industry: Fragrance and Flavor Industry View: Overweight Initiating Coverage
Proxy FMCG Play
SHK is the largest domestic fragrance manufacturer with ~ 20.5% market
share in the Indian fragrance industry and exports to over 52 countries. It is
also an emerging flavor producer in India with ~ 2% market share and exports
reaching 15 countries. SHK has over 4,100 customers which include leading
national and MNC FMCG companies, blenders and producers of fragrances
and flavors. Total manufacturing capacity is ~ 19,819 tons p.a. with 3 plants in
India and 1 in The Netherlands. It has a research team of 18 scientists based in
Mumbai and Barneveld. It also has 12 perfumers, 2 flavorists, evaluators and
application executives at their 5 creation and development centers in India,
The Netherlands and Indonesia. Its SHK, Cobra and Keva brands enjoy
substantial brand equity.
Strong reputation built on quality and continual R & D to help sustain
market share.
SHK is the 3rd
largest fragrance player in India with a strong reputation built over 90
years of its existence. With a solid business model, an 8,000 wide product range
and effective sales & marketing capabilities as demonstrated by its 95 member
robust sales team, we believe that SHK would be able to sustain its market share in
the ~ 20 bn Indian fragrance industry which in itself has witnessed a CAGR of
10.1% over the last 4 years.
Low financial risk on account of reduced leverage and no significant
capex plans.
SHK plans to use ~ 2 bn raised in its IPO to pay off its working capital loans and
other long term debt. Also, SHK has already completed its capex cycle for the next
3-5 years with its Indian plants working at 35% - 45% capacity. Thus we expect that
the repayment of significant debt post issue combined with an absence of material
capex plans would ensure that financial risk is contained over the medium term.
Favorable demand side dynamics continue to support the top-line.
With a growing FMCG sector in Asia, North Africa and Middle East which constitutes
~ 83.7% of SHKs revenues, favorable demographics in place & customer diversity
both in terms of low client concentration and ~ 43.5% of revenues coming from
exports, we expect SHK to be an effective FMCG proxy.
Potential upside offered by branded small packs and flavor
businesses.
SHK plans to deepen its distribution network, introduce new products and new
application methods for its fragrance small packs business. With capacity available
in its flavor manufacturing facility, established brand equity and a growing clientele
currently over 400, we expect SHK to increase its market share in the flavor industry
which has grown at a CAGR of 10.4% over the last 4 years.
Outlook & Valuation
We believe SHK to be a proxy FMCG play and should trade at premium valuations
akin to FMCG companies. We initiate coverage on SHK with a BUY rating and a 15
month price objective of 280 (40% upside)

Proven track record, continual

product quality standards to help
SHK sustain its market share
Inelastic demand, high switching
costs and a diversified customer
base to support top-line
Investment Argument
Strong reputation built on high quality standards and continual R & D
to help sustain market share.
SHK is the 3rd
largest fragrance company in India by revenue, with a market share of
~ 20.5%. Its competitors are mainly MNCs such as Givaudan SA, Firmenich,
International Flavors and Fragrances Inc. and Symrise SA which collectively hold a
57.0% market share of the global fragrance and flavor industry.
Market Share of fragrance industry players in India.
Source:Company, LKP Research
SHK has always pushed its boundaries with new unique offerings to help enhance
user experience of FMCG products containing these fragrances. In FY15 itself, SHK
developed over 502 new fragrance and flavor compounds which have been sold
commercially. Its research team developed 12 molecules over the last 3 years, out
of which it has filed patent applications for 3. It combines its innovation efforts with a
strong quality control system which enables traceability and repeatability for each
batch of its products. This has led to a contribution of ~ 14.3% of revenues in FY15
from product launches of the last 3 financial years.
We believe that SHK has built a very strong reputation through delivery of quality
products and customer satisfaction in the 90 years of its existence. With a solid
business model, an 8,000 wide fragrance product range and strong sales &
marketing capabilities as demonstrated by its robust sales team of 95 people from 9
centers in India and overseas, we believe that SHK would be able to sustain its
market share in the ~ 20 bn Indian fragrance industry which in itself has witnessed
a CAGR of 10.1% over the last 4 years.
Favorable demand side dynamics continue to support the top-line.
The fragrance industry is primarily a niche market. Customers majorly include
FMCG players who mainly use these fragrances in the manufacture of demand
inelastic daily utilities like home and personal care products. This $ 47.3 bn Indian
FMCG industry which has witnessed a CAGR of ~ 13.0% from FY07 to FY15 is
expected to continue its stable growth phase on account of a large consumer base,
shift of households to a more aspirational lifestyle and a clear uptrend in the share of
non-food expenditure in India because of rising income levels. This coupled with
demand inelasticity is expected to drive demand in the Indian fragrance industry.

Demand Drivers in Indian fragrance industry.
Source:Company, LKP Research
Fragrance manufacturers are involved from an early stage of product development
and there is a requirement for consistency in its smell and quality. Most FMCG
companies depend on the reliability & quality of service of fragrance producers and
their knowledge & understanding of their products and needs. In addition to this,
fragrance procurement has a relatively small share in overall production costs for
FMCG goods. Thus, there is an element of customer stickiness on account of these
factors which helps fragrance producers in long term client retention.
Notable Clients of SHK for fragrance offerings
SHKs fragrance business has a diversified customer base of over 3,700 customers
consisting of leading national and MNC FMCG companies, blenders as well as
producers of fragrances. A distinct advantage it enjoys is low customer
concentration. Out of the net revenue from operations of ~ 8.4 bn and ~ 2.2 bn in
FY15 and Q1FY16E, revenue from SHKs largest customer was ~ 240 Mn and ~
88 Mn respectively. This amounts to only ~ 2.9% and ~ 3.9% of revenues from
SHKs biggest customer in FY15 and Q1FY16E. Thus, with a low concentration risk,
SHK has managed to effectively mitigate the adverse effect of client loss on its top-
line and bottom-line.
Revenues from exports form a significant part of SHKs top-line. Its revenues are
majorly driven by FMCG and fragrance consumption in emerging markets
comprising of Asia, Middle East and North Africa (A & MENA).

Low financial leverage and sufficient
capacity for the medium term to keep
financial risks subdued
Thus, with a growing FMCG sector in India and other emerging markets, favorable
demographics in place as well as customer diversity both in terms of low client
concentration and significant exports, we expect SHK to be an effective FMCG
proxy. We believe that the top-line of SHK will continue expanding at a considerable
pace which in turn may augment profitability.
Low financial risk on account of reduced leverage and no significant
medium term capex plans.
Out of the ~ 5 bn IPO issue in Oct 15, ~ 3 bn was towards a partial exit by
Blackstone Capital and the remaining ~ 2 bn is to be used to retire working capital
loan and other debt of SHK and its subsidiary KV Arochem. With negligible debt and
consequent low interest burden, SHK would enjoy the benefits of reduced financial
risks and low leverage. This would help the company sustain its high growth phase
where its bottom-line has grown at a CAGR of 15.4% from FY11 to FY15.

Branded small packs provides a
steady stream of cash flows
independent from FMCG industry,
flavor business is largely untapped
The company has 4 fragrance manufacturing facilities, 3 in India and 1 in The
Netherlands. The manufacturing facilities in India are working at a 35-45% capacity
as SHK has already completed its capex cycle for the next 3-5 years and is looking
to achieve economies of scale with increased demand and production. Thus the
repayment of significant long term debt post issue combined with an absence of
material capex plans would ensure that financial risk is contained over the medium
term, further cementing the case of SHK as an effective FMCG proxy.
Potential upside offered by branded small packs and flavor
businesses.
SHK also has a small pack fragrance business which it operates through its Cobra
brand. This business includes sales of its fragrance products in package sizes
ranging from 25 gm to 25 kg to several hundred traders and resellers spread
country-wide. The contribution of this business to the top-line is given below.

500 gm- 25 kg 630 7.5 150 6.8
Total 1,142 13.6 333 15.1
Recognizing the potential of this revenue stream, SHK aims to deepen its
distribution network and introduce a new sales strategy which would include a
dedicated small pack sales team. With plans to introduce new products and new
application methods for its fragrance products in the small packs business, we
expect the Cobra brand to grow and support its top-line growth.

Notable Clients of SHK for flavor offerings
SHK has a small 2% share in the Indian flavor industry which is dominated by global
leaders. With capacity available with SHK to take advantage of an industry growing
at a stable CAGR of 10.4% over the last 4 years, established brand equity with its
fragrance and flavor products and a growing clientele of its flavor products currently
over 400, we expect SHK to increase its market share in an expanding industry
thereby further augmenting its growth.

Financial Performance
Revenues
Revenues of SHK have grown at a healthy CAGR of ~ 13.0% from ~ 4.7 bn in
FY11 to ~ 8.6 bn in FY15 driven by consistent demand for its fragrances from
FMCG companies in India and overseas where it has a significant exposure in A &
MENA.

Efficient raw material sourcing
essential to maintain and improve
EBITDA margins
The fortunes of SHK depend of the level of FMCG consumption in India and
overseas. With average household incomes of SHKs target market expected to
significantly expand with an increasing share of disposable income, a favorable
population composition and expansion of modern retail formats, consumption of
FMCG products is all set to follow a healthy growth trajectory.
Also, in order to keep up with changing preferences of the ultimate consumer, SHK
consistently invests in research and development. It spent ~ 264 mn and ~ 62mn
in FY15 and Q1FY16E which comes to ~ 3.1% and ~ 2.8% of revenues respectively.
We believe that a scenario of a thriving FMCG industry, continual innovation,
introduction of new products, increased focus on developing its flavor and small
pack fragrance businesses would benefit SHK and help its revenues grow at ~
13.5% to ~ 10.7 bn in FY17E and ~ 15.0% to ~ 12.3 bn in FY18E respectively.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margins
SHK has been delivering decent EBITDA margins consistently from FY11 to FY15. It
witnessed a fall in margins from ~ 18.0% in FY14 to ~ 14.3% in FY15 primarily
because of increased material cost which went up from ~ 52.4% of operational
revenues in FY14 to ~ 55.6% in FY15. It sources ~ 40%-45% of raw materials from
countries like Indonesia, Germany, Brazil and US.

Lower depreciation and negligible
interest burden FY17E onwards to
bolster PAT and PAT margins
Given the nature of fragrance and flavor industry, quality and specifications of raw
materials used in its products is of high importance. With long standing relationships
with its suppliers, we believe that SHK can economically source its raw materials.
Efficient material costs coupled with effective control of employee benefits and other
expenses are essential for SHKs sustainability in its margins. We expect that SHK
would earn absolute EBITDA and margins of ~ 1.6 bn and ~ 15.1% in FY16E and
~ 1.8 bn and ~ 15.0% in FY17E respectively.
PAT and PAT Margins
PAT and PAT margins for SHK stood at ~ 791 mn & ~ 10.3% in FY14 and ~ 644
mn & ~ 7.5% in FY15 respectively. This is the direct effect of an increased burden of
higher material costs and depreciation post significant investments in fixed assets up
to FY14. With SHKs capex cycle completed for the medium term and negligible
interest burden after repayment of debt post issue, we expect PAT and PAT margins
to steadily improve to ~ 1.0 bn & ~ 9.7% in FY17E and ~ 1.2 bn & ~ 9.8% in
FY18E respectively.

Risks & Concerns
Most fragrance and flavor companies are now placing greater focus on emerging markets of Asia- Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa due
to growing urbanization and changing lifestyles which is expected to directly
benefit FMCG companies and their fragrance & flavor suppliers. A trend of
increasing consolidation is also being witnessed in these emerging economies
with local established players being viewed as attractive acquisition targets.
This is leading to intense competition in these markets which can adversely
affect companies like SHK, with global players equipped with financial strength
and international expertise. This can be witnessed by the fact that Givaudan SA
has planned to invest FF 55 mn ( 3.7 bn) in a new manufacturing facility in
Pune, Maharashtra which is expected to be operational by FY18E.
SHK earns its revenues primarily from the FMCG sector. Thus, the fortunes of SHK are tied to the prospects of this industry inspite of SHK enjoying a low
customer concentration. With events like the Nestle Maggi controversy having
the potential to shake up entire product categories across the FMCG industry,
this dependency may play out against SHK, especially where it is looking at its
flavor industry to give impetus to its growth prospects.
SHK has 12 perfumers, 2 flavorists and 17 skilled equipment operators. The company depends on a few specialized employees, which may be poached by
its global counterparts, with better remuneration and the MNC appeal. SHKs
failure to acquire and retain right talent may adversely affect product
consistency, quality and its ability to introduce new fragrances and flavors.
~ 43.5% of its revenues come from exports, and ~ 40.0%-45.0% of raw materials have been from suppliers outside India, exposing the company to
significant forex risks.
Outlook & Valuation
We believe SHK to be a proxy FMCG play and should trade at premium valuations
akin to FMCG companies. We initiate coverage on SHK with a BUY rating and a 15
month price objective of 280 (40% upside)
