INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH
Colgate Palmolive (CLGT IN) Low inflation and high competition to impact performance
Page | 1 | PHILLIPCAPITAL INDIA RESEARCH
INDIA | FMCG | Quarterly Update
3 August 2015
Colgate’s Q1FY16 numbers were slightly below our and consensus estimates because of tepid volume growth of 2.3% yoy. While volume slowdown has been significant, Colgate’s sustained brand investments led to 90/10bps market share gains in toothpastes/toothbrushes. There was a 330bps hit on revenue because of cessation of fiscal excise benefits in Himachal Pradesh. In Q4FY15, the management has guided for 400bps impact on revenue, 150bps on gross margins, and 250bps on EBIDTA for FY16. While the operating performance continues to remain robust, declining tax breaks will put pressure on revenues and cost structure. Considering the overall low inflationary environment and sluggishness in FMCG growth, we have cut our earnings estimates for FY16/17 by 5%/1%. We maintain Neutral recommendation and value the company at Rs 1,970 (Rs 2,000 earlier), 35x FY17 earnings. Key takeaways of the result: Volume remains sluggish (up 2.3%); price strong (up 6.5%); excise‐benefit cessation impacts sales: The company’s revenue growth at 9% yoy when adjusted for a 330bps excise‐benefits cessation impact was slower than our and consensus estimates. The management commented that volumes in overall toothpaste markets are subdued and despite this, Colgate’s toothpaste segment saw market share gains of 90bps yoy to 57.9%. The toothbrush segment increased market share by 10bps yoy to 42.7% and improved mix pushed sales growth to 13% yoy (4% volume growth). The company has continued to maintain its strong leadership position across both the categories, but the competitive intensity continues to remain high and we expect less probability of price hikes in FY16. Gross margins expand only 90bps due to excise cessation impact: Gross profit grew 6.9% yoy to Rs 6.35bn in Q1FY16 and gross margins increased 90bps yoy to 63.3%. We estimate gross margins to have improved by 300bps adjusting for excise impact. Also, despite expectations of subdued commodity costs in FY16, we foresee gross margins to increase by only 100 bps due to excise impact. EBIDTA margin at 23.6%; advertising and promotional expenses decline: The entire input cost benefit was ploughed back into the business and A&P/sales was increased by 100bps yoy to 20%. We estimate this proportion to remain high at 18‐20% because of sustained high competitive activity. Other highlights: In Q1, the company reported an exceptional item of Rs 314mn (VRS expenses at Rs 293mn, other expenses at Rs 21mn pertaining to discontinuance of operations of Aurangabad factory). For FY16, income‐tax rate will rise to 32‐33% from 28% in FY15. Revision of estimates; maintain Neutral: We have slightly cut our earnings estimates for FY16/17 taking into account slower volume growth, lower commodity costs, and lower price hikes. We expect EPS to grow to Rs 56.3 in FY17 (CAGR of 17% over FY14‐17). At a CMP of Rs 1970, the stock trades at 35x FY17 earnings. We maintain our Neutral recommendation, as we believe valuations are factoring in strong operating performance. Valuing the company at 35x FY17 EPS, we cut the target price to Rs 1970 from Rs 2000 earlier. Considering limited returns, we maintain our Neutral recommendation.
