Revival in Economic Growth to provide Impetus to Sector

Paint industry is highly correlated to economic scenario as industry demand largely depends upon disposable income and growing industrial sectors such as automobiles. Indian Paint industry volumes grow 1.5‐2.0x India’s GDP. After registering an average growth rate of 8% during FY08-FY12, Indian economic growth had slowed down to below 5% (with 2004-05 base year) during the past two financial years. Prevailing high interest rate, stubborn inflation, low investments and slow execution of infrastructure projects were the leading factors, impacted country’s economy growth.

However, Indian economy has shown signs of nascent recovery and grew by 5.5% during the first half (April-September) of FY15 as compared to 4.9% in the same period in FY14. Besides, key macro-economic indicators such as inflation, CAD are also reviving, putting positive influence on economic growth. Indian economic growth is likely to improve to 5.5% in FY15 and further enhanced to 6-7% in FY16 and FY17. Improved consumers sentiments, the renewed policy thrust by new government and a pickup in consumer demand are likely to provide impetus to economic growth in coming future. With the gradually growing domestic economy, per capita income of people in India grew by a CAGR of 10% to $1570 in 2013 from $740 in 2005. Household income in the top 20 boom cities in India is expected to grow at around 10% annually over the next ten years, which is likely to increase consumer spending.

Akzo Nobel India Ltd.

Industry Revenue likely to increase by CAGR of 20% during FY15-FY16E India is the second largest consumer of paints in Asia. Paint industry is divided into decorative and industrial segments. Decorative paints accounts for around 73% of the domestic market revenue, while industrial paints segment represents the remaining share. Both segments are further divided into various valuables products. Interiors paints among the decorative paints segment are largely used and categories in premium, medium and economy groups. Furthermore, water based decorative paints have an edge and are growing at a higher rate on the back of increasing demand for water based coatings from housing and real estates. Industrial paints segment, comprising highly technological products, is more profitable and highly organized sub-sector. Demand for industrial paints is relatively price inelastic, but is more inclined to business cycles and thus depends on economic as well as industrial growth. Major end user industries include automobile, shipping, capital goods, white goods and heavy industries. With the progressively growing economy, the sector has witnessed a gradual shift in the preferences of people from the traditional whitewash to higher quality paints like emulsions and enamel paints. The outlook for decorative paint segment is looking very promising due to increasing demand from retail consumers, rapid urbanization, increasing awareness of paints benefits and easy availability of financing for housing loans. Rural market, which has a major share of the decorative paints segment, grew by 20% in FY14. Rural India’s consumption expenditure is growing well and any benefit to the rural sector’s disposable income is directly correlated to the paint industry’s growth. Present market size of the Indian paint industry stands at around Rs.40,500 crore and is likely to increase to Rs.62,000 crore by 2016 with a CAGR of around 20%.

Akzo Nobel India Ltd.

Falling Crude Oil Prices bring Cheer to Industry Crude prices have declined significantly in past six months and are hovering at around a six -year low level due to ample global supplies from the US shale oil boom and a decision by OPEC to keep its production quotas unchanged despite low global demand. Prevailing low oil prices have been dragging down the operating costs for the industry as raw materials like titanium dioxide, additives, pigments, resins and solvents, which accounts for 25-30% of the total purchase basket of a paint company, are derivatives of crude oil. On an average, a 10% fall in global crude oil prices will increase gross margins by 2-3%, however, the actual benefit can vary across companies, depending on their product mix. Global research firm, Barclays has slashed its forecast average price of Brent crude for this year to $44 a barrel. Industry players are likely to witness a major margin boost in coming future on the back of low crude oil prices.

Akzo Nobel India Ltd.

Akzo taking Measures to Enhance Penetration in Rural, Small Towns Akzo has a very strong premium portfolio (Dulux Velvet), where it enjoys 20% plus market share and is the second largest player after Asian Paints in decorative paint segment. However, unlike the peer members such as Asian Paints and Berger Paints, the company presence in Tier 3 & 4 cities and rural regions is limited with a share below 10%. Taking a view that tier 3 & 4 cities, rural regions and mass market categories could be a major trigger for volume growth in near future, the company is addressing this issue by launching around 4 products each year and expanding distribution network to new and small towns.

The company has national wide distribution network with 14 offices, 75 warehouses and 9,000 dealers network. The firm’s product offering has been backed by years of research and innovative products will remain the main driver for it. This reflects an opportunity for the company to demonstrate its technological prowess in market. Meanwhile, in order to increase the penetration levels and grab a larger pie of the market share, Akzo is expanding its dealer network across the metro cities as well as tier-II towns. The company has setup warehousing facilities and delivery points to make sure that the supply side remains uninterrupted and functions in an efficient manner. Customer service has also been prioritized though these measures as it will ultimately lead in creating high levels of brand loyalty.

Business Analysis Sales volume likely to witness firm recovery during FY15,FY16E Akzo Nobel India operates in two segments coatings and paintings. Though, around 96% of revenue generated from the paints (coatings). Coatings segment recorded a total revenue of Rs.2324 crore during FY14 compared to the previous year’s Rs.2142.6 crore, a growth of 8.5%. On the other hand, chemical segment revenue grew by 5% YoY to around Rs.93 crore. In FY14, Akzo’s net sales growth declined to 8.3% as comparison to double digit growth in the past few years. Furthermore, the company’s profit declined by 31% YoY to Rs.150 crore in FY15 due to the high operating expenditure and low demand due the prevailing economic slowdown. Moreover, high imported cost of raw materials due to the rupee depreciation also put pressure on margins.

Overall expenses during the quarter stood at Rs.619.5 crore as against Rs.626.29 crore in the corresponding period a year ago.

Akzo Nobel India Ltd.

Softening Input prices to Boost Margins Among total operating expenditure, raw material expenditure accounts for around 53% of the total operating expenditure. Although EBIDTA margin of the firm stands below the peer members like Asian Paint and Berger Paints, the management has been taking measures to improve the operation excellence of the firm through process improvements and energy savings. Apart from that, prevailing low input prices such as crude oil and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are likely to improve Akzo Nobel India margins. Advertisement cost in the decorative paint segment is generally higher as companies scurry to grab market share by creating a strong brand and high levels of awareness among people. Since decorative paint is the major segment of firm, Akzo noble India has been beefing up its marketing activities and indulging in aggressive advertisement campaigns to promote the Dulux brand. Other expenses (including advertisement spending) are expected to increase by a CAGR of 9.14% to Rs.778 crore in FY16E from Rs.653 crore in FY14. The cost of raw material increased by 8% YoY to Rs.1,172 crore in FY14. During the first nine month of this fiscal, cost of raw material consumed increased by 5% YoY to Rs.915 crore.

Key Risks

Economic Uncertainties : Demand of paints in India is cyclical and grows entirely in tandem with the economic growth. Akzo Nobel India derives around 96% of revenue from paints, which are closely linked to overall economy’s growth. Though, domestic economy growth is reviving, prevailing high interest rates in order to contain the inflation can impact the paint demand from housing and industrial sectors.

Insufficient Reach to Rural and Small towns: Decorative paints segment is major revenue driver sub-sector of the company. The presence of Akzo Nobel India in rural region and tier 3 & 4 cities regions is limited and much less as comparison to industry leader Asian Paints and Berger paints. Rural India, which has a major share of the decorative paints segment, is growing at rapid pace. It reflects the need for company to enhance the presence as soon as possible to significantly leverage growth opportunities rising in rural area.

Reversal in Crude Oil Prices: Crude prices have declined significantly in past six months and are hovering at around a six -year low level due to the prevailing unfavorable demand supply situation in global market. Low oil prices have been dragging down the operating costs for the industry as most of raw materials used for paints production are the derivatives of crude oil. In future, any reversal in crude oil prices can adversely impact the industry as well as Akzo Nobel India margins.

Growing Presence of Small Players in Mid and Lower End Segments: Akzo has a very strong premium portfolio, however, it is taking measures to build presence in the mid-end and lower-end segments. These segments are marked by the presence of a large number of players from unorganized sector. Furthermore, competition is also rising in decorative paints segment which can affect the company’s margins.
