SECTOR
REPORT
Executive Summary
India has been a consumption driven economy for the last many decades and will continue to be so over the coming two decades. As per McKinsey
Global Institute (MGI) consumption spending in India is expected to increase ~2.5x by 2025. The middle class population in India is going to increase
~12x during 2005-2025, thus fueling the consumption demand. The growing middle class and increasing disposable income thus provides many
investment opportunities in the consumption domain. In our report we have covered companies which are market leaders in their core product categories
(TTK Prestige, Symphony Ltd, Talwalkars Better Fitness Value (TBFV), V-Guard Industries, Hawkins cookers and Hitachi home & life solutions) and will
be significant beneficiaries of the increased consumption demand in India over the next two decades.
Indian GDP to grow ~5 times by 2030
India’s GDP at constant prices had grown ~4x during the period 1990-2009 and is expected to grow ~5x by 2030 (source MGI). The increase in GDP
is thus growing to be beneficial for many sectors and provides many investment opportunities.
Private consumption to increase by ~2.5x to Rs70 trillion by 2030
Private consumption has been the driver of Indian GDP for the past many decades. It has nearly doubled during 2003-09 and is expected to further
increase ~2.5x by 2030. The increase in private consumption is growing to come primarily from rising income.
Increasing urbanization + growing middle class+ rising income = higher consumption spending
As per United Nations, urbanization in India is expected to increase from ~30% in 2010 to ~40% by 2030 and the number of people living in urban
areas will increase by ~62% to 59 bn. Also, the middle class population in India will increase ~12x to 580 mn and will constitute 41% of the population
by 2025 as against ~5% in 2005(source MGI). The per capita income of India is expected to increase ~18 times by 2039 (source Emerging Market
Forum) and the disposable income for household is expected to increase ~3x by 2025 (source MGI). Growing urbanization, a young working-age
population, higher income will result in increased spending and thus, there will be a consumption boom over the next two decades.
Discretionary spending to constitute ~70% of the consumer wallet by 2025
Growing income and rising disposable income over the next two decades will result in the discretionary spending to increase from ~52% in 2005 to
~70% of the customer wallet by 2025 (source MGI). The growing discretionary spending will thus result in demand for appliances, communication,
healthcare etc.
Appliances industry to be a significant beneficiary of the rapid urbanization and growing income
The appliance industry will be a significant beneficiary of the rising income, growing middle class and increasing urbanization in the country.
Also, under-penetration and growing perception of considering appliances as necessity will result in high demand. The appliance market is expected
to witness a CAGR of 11.4% during 2005-2025 in urban India (source MGI) and companies which are market leaders in various home appliance
categories will see high growth rates over the next two decades.
We have covered 6 companies (3 initiating, 2 Unrated and 1 update) which are market leaders in the primary product
categories where they operate and will be significant beneficiary of the consumption demand.

Private consumption to increase ~2.5x by 2025
Private consumption has increased ~2x during 2003-09. The contribution of private consumption to GDP has been
~60% over the last decade and been the driver of the GDP growth. Going ahead it will continue to be a major driver of
GDP and is expected to increase ~2.5x to Rs70 trn by 2025 (Source: MGI). The rise in consumption is going to
primarily come from rising income (~80%) followed by increase in number of household (~16%) (Source: MGI).
Figure: GDP at constant prices break-up
Source: ADB; IDBI Capital Research
The consumption demand in India has been strong over the past decade driven by:
Increase in MSP resulting in higher income in the hands of rural India
The MSP (minimum support prices) of various food crops have increased by a CAGR of ~14% to 22% during 2006-10
(vs. a CAGR of 6-8% during 1983-84 to 2004-05) whereas the non food crops have increased between ~11 to 14% (vs.
a CAGR of 6-8% during 1983-84 to 2004-05). The increased MSP has resulted in higher incomes for the rural
community (~65% of population) and this has triggered a consumption boom.
Figure: MSP of non-food….. increasing trend Figure: MSP of food crops……. rising sharply
Source: RBI; IDBI Capital Research
The prices of agricultural produce are expected to remain high due to population growth being higher than the
agricultural food grain production. The CAGR in population growth during 1990-91 to 2009-10 has been 1.8% whereas
the food grain production has been 1.1% during the same period.

Higher television penetration, growing telephony and internet usage raising aspiration demand
The penetration of television, telephone and internet has increased significantly in the county over the last decade.
In particular, the penetration of cable & satellite TV has been significant over the last two decades in rural/semi-urban
India and has thus increased exposure to aspiration lifestyles. With increased disposable income of the urban/rural
masses and higher exposure to aspiration lifestyle, the consumption demand has seen high growth.

Growing tourism & travel resulting in higher exposure whereby raising aspiration demand
The number of travels undertaken by Indians has increased significantly over the last decade. The increased travel by
Indians both on the domestic and international front has resulted in higher exposure whereby the aspiration demand
has increased. Also, international tourist arrivals has increased significantly over the past decade whereby increasing
the exposure of the domestic masses. Going ahead, the consumption pattern is going to significantly increase due to
higher exposure which the Indians will have due to growth of travel and tourism.

High remittances – spur consumption expenditure
India has been one of the highest recipients of remittances in the world and this has helped in poverty reduction.
Though there are differences with regard to the impact of remittances on poverty reduction, however as per UNCTAD,
empirical estimates show that a 10% rise in remittances as a share of GDP leads to 1.7% reduction in poverty ratio.
Also, remittances have affected some key variables such as per capita income, private consumption expenditure and
personal disposable income.
Figure: Increasing Remittance trend….
Source: RBI; IDBI Capital research
The inflows from remittances have been on an upward trajectory and are relatively more stable, which will thus continue
to fuel the consumption demand in the country.

Rural income has also seen an increase due to the increasing urbanization. As per MGI it is estimated that people who
live close to cities have an income which is higher by 10-20% than average rural income due to increased access to
jobs, markets and connecting infrastructure. Also, with the growth in urban areas many rural people have become
entrepreneurs and have thus seen an increase in income.

Consumption demand to remain strong over the next two decades driven by:
Urbanization to increase to ~54% of total population by 2050
As per United Nations (UN) urban population in India is expected to increase ~2.5 times to ~875.2 mn during 2010-50.
The percentage of population living in urban areas will increase from ~30% in 2010 to ~40% in 2030 and ~54%
by 2050.
As urbanization increases GDP growth will be faster because increased density of population produces scale benefits
that improves productivity which in turn enhances growth - thus creating a virtuous cycle.

Sector Report – Consumption
Discretionary spending to constitute ~70% of total spending by 2025
With rapid urbanization, growing income and increased exposure, Indian consumer spending pattern is going to see a
metamorphic change. The share of necessities (food, beverages, tobacco and apparel) is going to decrease from ~48%
of average household expenditure in 2005 to ~30% in 2025.
Figure: Discretionary spending pattern to increase
Source: MGI; IDBI Capital research
Figure: Rural-Monthly per capita expenditure Urban-Monthly per capita expenditure
Source: NSSO; IDBI Capital Research
Increasing discretionary expenditure will result in higher demand for household products and consumer appliances as
the penetration of these has been low. Also, with increasing income home appliances which are now considered to be a
discretionary (due to low income) will gradually be considered as necessities (similar to mobile phones) whereby the
demand will be very high. We believe this to be very beneficial for companies covered by us as they are the market
leaders in each of the product categories and the penetration of these products is still low which thus provides them
ample opportunity to grow.
Due to the consumption boom in the country many sectors will be the beneficiary of it. However, in our report we have
focused on the home appliances and the wellness market as we believe these will be significant beneficiary of the
consumption growth.

Appliances to be a significant beneficiary of increased income, low penetration & urbanization
The home appliances market in India will see a significant growth due to the increased income, lower penetration and
growing urbanization. Also the need for comfort and convenience in urban households as both partners work and thus
the perception of appliances will change from luxury to necessity which will lead to a rapid growth for the home
appliance market. Besides the growing upper middle class in India will also drive the demand for appliances as they will
have multiple requirement of these ( eg several air-conditioners/air coolers in the same household).
Another major growth driver of appliance market will be the growing middle class in India. The middle class is expected
to increase by ~12 times by 2025 and as income of this strata rises, the demand for appliances will see a significant
increase.
As per the MGI the appliances market is expected to see a CAGR of 11.4% during 2005-2025 and will be Rs470 bn
market by 2025.

Summary
TTKPT is a leading player in the kitchenware market in India with a well established brand and a pan India presence. It has over the last decade diversified from a one product company (pressure cooker) to a Kitchenware company. Its earnings have grown at a CAGR of ~63% during FY06-11 and will witness a CAGR of 38% during FY11-13. TTKPT is a play on the increasing income, urbanization and shift from unorganized to organized players in the kitchenware market in the country. We initiate with ACCUMULATE and a price target of Rs3,106. (22x FY13)
Investment Highlights
A leading player in the pressure cooker market with a strong brand name
TTKPT is one of the largest players in pressure cooker market in India and is a dominant name in this category. The pressure cooker market (~60% organized) is growing at ~10-15% whereas TTKPT has been growing at ~20%. Management has guided ~20% growth to be sustainable for 2-3 years.
Diversified product portfolio
TTKPT has over the past decade diversified its product portfolio and has added cookware and kitchen appliances. The revenue contribution of pressure cooker has decreased from ~59% in FY06 to ~41% in FY11 and will further reduce to ~35% by FY13E.
Kitchen appliances & cookware to aid future growth
TTKPTs kitchen appliances/cookware had a CAGR of 65%/56% in revenues during FY09-11 and the revenue contribution from these segments increased from 33% in FY09 to 45%in FY11. Going ahead these segments are expected to see a CAGR of ~50% during FY11-13.
Operating margins to remain stable at ~16%
TTKPT OPM in FY12 is expected to increase marginally by ~35 bps to 16.3% due to operating leverage. In FY13 the OPM will remain stable.
Revenue/PAT CAGR of 38% during FY11-13E
TTKPT revenue growth is going to be led by electric appliances and cookware segment. These segments are going to see a high growth due to under penetration and rising disposable income. Also the increasing number of PSK stores will aid the growth of these segments. Revenue/PAT is expected to witness a CAGR of 38% during FY11-13.
Return ratios to remain healthy despite ~Rs2.3 bn capex undertaken in FY12
TTKPT return ratios are expected to remain healthy during FY11-13 due to high growth in all its product segments despite ~Rs2,300 mn incurred in FY12 for increasing capacities of the pressure cooker and cookware categories. The ROE/ROIC is expected to decline to 41.8%/46.4% by FY13.
Attractive Valuations:
TTKPT is a play on the mass consumption market in India and is expected to witness a CAGR of ~38% in earnings during FY11-13. It is well positioned to capitalize on the rising disposable income and growing urbanization in the country. There are not any listed comparable players which operate in the similar space and thus we have compared it to consumption companies (Jubilant Foodworks, Page Industries, Titan Industries etc) which are the closest peer set. The consumption companies trade at an average PER of ~30x FY13 whereas TTKPT trades at 20.1x FY13. As TTKPT has high growth visibility, sustainable OPM and better return ratios, it can trade at similar multiples. However, we have been conservative and have valued TTKPT at 22x FY13 (~25% discount) and initiate with a ACCUMULATE and a target price of Rs3,106.

Investment Positives
A major player in the domestic pressure cooker market
TTKPT is one of the largest organized players in the pressure cooker industry. The pressure cooker industry over the
last few years has moved from unorganized to organized market (~60% of the industry). TTKPT and Hawkins are two
major national players in the organized market and together they account for ~50-60% of the organized market.
Besides these two players there are other regional players like United, Butterfly, Vinod and Pigeon etc.
The Indian pressure cooker market is growing at ~10-15% and is estimated to be ~Rs9,500 mn (source: company).
TTKPT however is growing at ~20% due to the shift from unorganized market to organized players and increased sales
from inner lid pressure cookers. TTKPT had launched the inner lid pressure cookers a few years ago and as it has a
major demand in Northern and Eastern India; it has resulted in high growth in this product for the company.
TTKPT has a strong brand name in this category and has a well established dealer network. As per the company its
product are sold in ~ 30,000 outlets and it has a presence in 85% of the outlets which sell pressure cookers throughout
the country.
Strong brand name leveraged to become a kitchenware company
TTKPT has been one of the pioneers in the pressure cooker market in India and has built a strong brand name.
The company over the last decade has leveraged its brand name and has expanded its product and become a
kitchenware company.
It has added cookware and kitchen appliances (induction tops, mixer grinders, rice cookers, toasters etc.) besides
pressure cookers and now offers complete kitchen ware products. The expansion of the product portfolio thus provides
better revenue visibility.

We believe the increased diversification of the company holds it in good stead as it is no longer dependant on a single

A prudent mix of manufacturing and outsourcing model to be beneficial in the long run
TTKPT focuses on the manufacturing of its core products pressure cookers and cookware whereas it outsources the
production of kitchen appliances. It also does partial outsourcing of cookware too.
The company has outsourced the production of kitchen appliances as this enables it to keep control over costs and also
have a wide product portfolio in the segment without incurring any significant capital expenditure. The electrical
appliances are outsourced to vendors who meet the quality parameters laid by the company.

All product categories to see strong growth
TTKPT is going to witness a high growth in all its product categories. The pressure cooker segment is expected to see
a ~27% CAGR during FY11-13 due to increasing income, shift from unorganized to organized players, increasing
urbanization and growing demand.
TTKPT’s kitchen appliances and cookware segment is expected to have a CAGR of ~50% respectively during
FY11-13E. The high growth from these segments is due to the increasing PSKs, lower penetration and higher
disposable income.

PSKs to aid growth and also branding of the company as a kitchenware player
TTKPT had launched its first exclusive Prestige Smart Kitchen (PSK) in 2003 and now has ~285 PSKs (FY11) all of
which are owned and operated by the franchisees. The PSKs exclusively sell prestige products and has enabled
TTKPT to have a significant presence in the kitchen appliances market besides the cookware and pressure cooker
market. Also these stores have transformed TTKPT from being known as a pressure cooker player to a kitchenware
player.
TTKPT plans to add ~215 stores over the next two years and have ~500 stores by FY13. The PSKs are spread across
the country but have a higher presence in the South Indian markets (~65%).
Figure: No. of PSK outlets
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
We believe TTKPT is now in a position to launch other kitchenware products such as tableware, cutlery etc led by the
PSK network and this can enable a higher sustained growth for the company. However, we have not factored any
revenues from this potential market.
Capital expenditure of ~Rs2,300 mn to fuel future growth
TTKPT is incurring a capital expenditure of ~Rs2,300 mn in order to meet the growing demand for its pressure cooker
and cookware segment. The company plans to double its pressure cookers capacity and triple its cookware capacity.
The capital expenditure would be incurred during CY11 while the capacities are expected to come on stream partly in
FY12 and partly in FY13. This capital expenditure would be funded primarily by internal accruals and some by debt.
TTKPT has been a debt free company but due to the planned capital expenditure it will raise some debt ( ~Rs442 mn)
in FY12. However, by FY13 it will again become a debt free company.
Revenue/PAT to witness a CAGR of 38% during FY11-13E
TTKPT had revenue CAGR of 28% during FY06-11. Going ahead, the top line will witness a CAGR of 38% during
FY11-13 due to high growth seen by all its product segments. TTKPT bottom line had a CAGR of ~110% during FY06-
11 and is expected to witness a ~38% CAGR during FY11-13 due to top line growth and stable OPM.

OPM to remain stable at ~16%
TTKPT OPM in FY11 increased by ~110 bps to 15.95% due to increased contribution from high margins products
(pressure cooker and cookware) and operating leverage. In FY12, the OPM will marginally increase by ~35 bps to
16.3% due to operating leverage. However in FY13, the OPM will remain stable at ~16.3%.
TTKPT is able to maintain margins despite raw material pressure as it has a strong brand and is thus able to pass on
the raw material price increase to the consumer. Also by expanding its product portfolio there has been operating
leverage which has resulted in a sustainable OPM. The strategy of outsourcing of kitchen appliances also has resulted
in keeping a control over costs and thus maintaining margins.
We expect the OPM of TTKPT to be ~16% going ahead too despite increased turnover from lower margin products
(kitchen appliances) due to high growth also seen in better margin products ( pressure cookers and cookware) and
operating leverage

Return ratios to remain healthy
TTKPT has historically seen high return ratios. Going ahead, the return ratios would continue to remain high but would
see some decline due to the planned capital expenditure in CY11, the benefits of which would accrue over the next
two-three years. TTKPT is expected to have a ROE/ROIC of 46.4%/41.8% in FY13

Value unlocking from Bengaluru land may be another trigger
TTKPT had shifted one of its factory from Bengaluru which has freed land and it has decided to develop this land. As
per the agreement with the developer (Rajmata Realtors (Salarpuria)) the land would be developed by the builder and
TTKPT would get a share of the developed area. The company expects to see a one-time income of ~Rs1 bn from this
land and an annual rental income of Rs80-100 mn. The inflow from land is expected to come from FY14/FY15.

Outlook and Valuation
Attractive valuations - Accumulate with a target price of Rs3,106
TTKPT is a play on the growing mass consumption market in India. It is well positioned to capitalize on the rising
disposable income and growing urbanization in the country. TTKPT is expected to witness an earning CAGR of 38%
during FY11-13E.
There are not many listed comparable players which operate in the similar space. However, the closest comparable
peers to it would be the consumption companies. The average consensus PER at which these companies trade is ~30x
FY13E whereas TTKPT trades at 20.1x FY13. TTKPT can trade at similar multiple as its comparable peerset due to
superior growth prospects, unique business model and higher return ratios. However, we have been conservative and
have valued TTKPT at 22x FY13E (~25% discount to its comparable peerset). We initiate with an Accumulate and a
target price of Rs3,106.

Concerns
Unorganized sector: In all segments where TTKPT operates, the unorganized sector has a significant presence.
In case the company is unable to manage competition, it can affect the growth.
Increase in raw material prices: Any increase in raw material cost and inability to pass it will affect the
profitability adversely.
Slow down in the economy: A slowdown in economy will affect the growth of the company.
Inability to maintain the distribution network: Distribution is an integral part of the business and inability to
retain it will affect the growth adversely.
Increased competition from modern retail: Modern retail is expanding its foot print into the country and as they
are creating their own private label it can affect the future growth of the company.
Fall in commodity prices: A substantial fall in commodity prices will offset the benefit of a higher volume growth
whereby impacting the total value/sales growth.

Investment Highlights
Increasing temperatures & growing availability of power to boost demand
As per INCCA, the mean average temperature has increased by 0.51C/100 years during the period 1901-2007 and is expected to further increase by 1.7 to 2C by 2030. The rising mean temperatures will result in increased demand for air coolers/conditioners. Also growing availability of power (India plans to add ~0.1 mn MW of power in the 12th plan) will increase the demand for cooling equipments.
Rising income + growing middle class + lower cost of purchase / maintenance = high demand Air coolers will have a strong demand due to rising temperatures, increasing income and growing middle class in the country. Also, as the cost of acquisition (~50% lower) and maintenance of an air cooler is lower as compared to the air conditioner it will see increased off take from the mass market.
Strong brand name with wide spread distributor network
Symphony is one of the largest air cooler producers in the country and has a strong brand name in this product category. It has a widespread distribution network of ~550 dealers and ~10,000 retailers spread across the country. The company plans to double its dealer and distribution network over the next 2-3 years which will result in high growth.
Asset light model + High OPM + low working capital = High Return ratios
Symphony outsources the production of air coolers to OEMs whereby capital expenditure is low. Also, it has high OPM due to strong branding and lower cost of production. Symphony derives ~65% of revenues from traditional distributors to whom it sells on cash basis whereby working capital requirement is negligible. Due to an asset light business, low working capital requirement and high OPM the company has high return ratios. Symphony is expected to have ROCE/ROE of ~37% in FY13.
Revenues/ PAT CAGR of ~27%/32% during FY11-13
Symphony is expected to witness a Revenue/PAT CAGR of ~27%/32% during FY11-13E. The growth in revenues will come from both domestic/export markets. Domestic market is expected to witness a CAGR of 32% during FY11-13 due to increased demand and further widening of the distribution network. Export market will have a CAGR of 25% during FY11-13 due to addition of newer geographies.
Attractive Valuations: BUY with a price target of Rs1,522
Symphony is one of the leaders in the domestic air cooler industry and has enormous growth potential. It has over the past decade built a strong brand name and a wide distribution network and is now in a position to see high sustained growth over the next few years. Also an asset light business model with negligible working capital requirement and high return ratios makes the company attractive. Symphony currently trades at a PER of 10.1x FY13, which is a significant discount to its listed comparable electronic and consumption peers. We believe given the growth prospects and superior return ratios the stock can trade at similar multiples to its peers. However we have been conservative and have valued the company at ~40% discount to its peers. We initiate with a BUY and a target price of Rs1,522 (12x PER FY13).

Rising temperature to fuel demand for air coolers
As per INCCA (Indian Network for Climate Change Assessment) the Indian annual mean temperature showed
significant warming trend of 0.51C/100 years during the period 1901-2007. Accelerated warming has been seen in the
recent period 1990-2007 mainly due to intense warming in the recent decade 1998-2007.
Mean temperatures increased by about 0.2C per decade for the period 1971-2007 with a much steeper increase in
minimum temperatures than maximum temperatures. However in the recent decade maximum temperature was
significantly higher compared to the long term (1901-2007) mean, with a stagnated trend during this period, whereas
minimum temperature showed an increasing trend, almost equal to that observed during 1971-2007.The all-India
maximum temperature has increased by 0.71C/100 years whereas the mean annual minimum temperature has
increased by 0.27C/100 years during the period 1901-2007.

INCCA in its November, 2010 report has forecasted based on PRECIS simulations that the annual mean surface air
temperature will rise by ~1.7 to 2C by 2030. The rising temperature will lead to increased demand for equipments which
can keep the enclosed environment cooler like air conditioners and air coolers. We believe that the demand for air
coolers will be strong despite some drawbacks it has (not effective in humid climate etc.) due to the acquisition and
operating cost being lower than an air conditioner.
Increased availability of power
The major deterrent for the usage of home appliances is the lack of availability of power. However, with increased focus
of the government on generating electricity and higher participation of the private sector, the availability of power is
going to increase significantly. The government plans to add another 0.1 mn MW of power capacity in the 12th plan
(FY13-FY17) which is an addition of ~50% capacity.
Figure: Energy (BU) to increase
Source: CEA; IDBI Capital Research
Power is a crucial requirement for purchase decision of an air cooler and non/limited availability of it deterred many
potential buyers. With growing availability of power, the demand for air coolers will thus increase.
Lower cost of acquisition + lower maintenance = more preferred by the mass market
The cost of acquisition an air cooler is significantly lower (~Rs3,000-Rs9,000) as compared to an air-conditioner
(~Rs10,000-Rs40,000) and thus it can have a wider reach as compared to the air-conditioner market. Also, the cost of
maintenance is lower (0.18 units/hr Vs 5.5 units/hr for an AC) which thus makes it a preferred option.
Table: Air cooler vs. Air Conditioner
Air coolers Air conditioners (AC)
Uses 100% fresh and natural air for cooling Re-circulate the same dry air for cooling
Electricity consumption for a 750 sq ft size room for cooling by
Symphony cooler is ~0.18 units/hr

5.5 units/hr

Company Report – Symphony Ltd.
Another major area where air cooler will see higher demand is that in can also be used in areas which are open such
as lawns, garden etc unlike air conditioners. We thus believe that the demand for air coolers will be strong due to the
benefits it has.
A strong brand name
Symphony has been in the air-cooler business for over two decades and is one of the early organized air cooler players
in the country. It has a strong brand and with a widespread distribution network it has been able to capture the
customer mind share. A strong brand presence and a wide distributor-dealer network have resulted in it being a major
national player in the domestic air-cooler industry.
Widespread distribution and dealer network
Symphony has built a widespread distributor and dealer network over the last many years. The strong distributor-dealer
network has enabled it to reach the wide spread consumer market. Symphony has established presence across the
breadth of the nation through its dealer network and has near equal contribution to revenues from all four regions of the
country.

Besides being in the traditional dealer network the company is also increasing its presence in the modern retail format.
Figure: Sales break up

We believe as the company has been able to build a wide spread distribution network along with a strong brand; it will
be able to compete with the unorganized market in a better way.

Outsourcing resulting in an asset light business model
Symphony outsources the production of air coolers to OEM (original equipment manufacturers). It has been doing so
for the past 5 years in order to keep control over the production cost, have manufacturing facilities which are wide
spread and also to have a lower capital cost.
Currently the company has 10 vendors who manufacture air coolers for it. These vendors follow the quality parameters
laid down by the company. Also, there is a technical team at each of these vendor factories in order to ensure quality
and timeliness of delivery.
Symphony develops its own models, designs and prototypes at its plant near Ahmedabad which are then given to the
vendors for mass production.
We believe the strategy of outsourcing of air coolers will enable the company to have better control over cost, have a
wide spread production base whereby reducing the transportation cost and also ability to meet the growing demand
with ease.
A robust business model
Symphony has built a robust model over the past few years after being referred to BIFR in 2002 due to erosion of net
worth. Its net worth eroded as it suffered losses due to addition of products such as water purifiers, washing machines,
air conditioners etc to its portfolio and incurring high marketing and advertisement expenses. Also in order to gain
market share, the company undertook sales on credit and saw significant bad debts whereby the net worth got eroded.
However, over the past few years the company has reduced its product portfolio and now focuses primarily on one
product, air coolers. It has trimmed its portfolio to one product as it had a significant market share and strong brand
recall. Also, the company decided to undertake sales on cash and expand its distributor-dealer network. The strategy
paid off and it turned profitable by FY07 and it reported APAT of ~Rs505 mn in FY11.
Symphony in order to improve its profitability has moved from manufacturing to outsourcing of air coolers. It also
increased the range of air coolers and introduced newer, efficient models at various price points. Also, in order to widen
its customer reach the dealer-distributor network was increased by ~5 times over the past 4 years (it has ~550
distributors and ~10,000 dealers spread across the country). The increased dealer-distributor network with a focused
product has resulted in a Revenue/PAT CAGR of 62%/110% during FY07-11.
Symphony’s major sales happen during the period Jan-June (Q3 and Q4) which is the peak of summer season in India
and thus its revenue is skewed. However, over the past few years the company has been able to reduce the skewed
second half pattern of sales by offering incentives to distributors during non peak seasons.
Figure: Seasonality in sales
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
Symphony is also focusing on the export potential of air coolers. Over the last few years it has expanded its export
reach to ~54 countries such as Mexico, Middle East, USA etc. Exports now account for ~16% of total sales. In order to
strengthen its export presence further, it has acquired a 100% stake in Mexico based company Impco S. DE. R.L
DE.,C.V (IMPCO) through a Singapore-based company Sylvan Holdings Pte Ltd (Sylvan).

IMPCO has been in the air cooler business for over 55 years. It has a manufacturing facility at Monterrey, Mexico and a
subsidiary in USA. IMPCO has the capability to make industrial coolers besides making small air coolers and has a
significant presence in large format stores such as Wall mart, Home Depot, Lowes etc. Its major market is Mexico
and USA.
Symphony by acquiring a significant stake in IMPCO will be able to make its presence in North and Latin America
markets with ease. Also, now it can enter the industrial coolers market in India which can be a potential big revenue
stream going ahead. Industrial coolers can be used for providing cooling solutions for factories, offices and even large
residences.
Domestic sales volume CAGR of ~32% during FY11-13E
Symphony had witnessed domestic sales volume CAGR of ~42% during FY07-11. The increase in volumes was due to
higher disposable income of consumers, increasing affordability and widening distributor-dealer network. Symphony is
expected to see a volume CAGR of ~32% during FY11-13E. We have not factored any growth from industrial
coolers which the company plans to enter.
Figure: Domestic sales volumes
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
In the domestic market, it sells the products to distributors on cash/advance basis who in turn deal with the dealers
spread across the country. Symphony has seen high growth in the domestic market due to the strong brand, high
quality and servicing it offers to its customers. The company is now also selling air coolers through large format stores
like Croma, Vijay Sales etc. in the domestic market on credit.

To remain a debt free entity
Symphony has constantly tried to remain a debt free company ever since it was referred to BIFR. It became a debt free
company in FY08. Symphony has an asset light model and does not require any significant capital expenditure to be
incurred. Also, it undertakes majority of its sales on cash basis and has a lower inventory (as the season ends in June)
by the end of the season and so it generates free cash. We expect it to have cash and cash equivalents of ~Rs1,880
mn or Rs269 cash/share by FY13.
High return ratios
Symphony has high return ratios due to higher operating margins, lower working capital requirement and limited capital
expenditure. We expect it to continue having higher return ratios (ROE and ROCE of 37% in FY13E) due to the strong
growth which it will witness.
Figure: RoE Figure: RoCE
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
FY11 result hampered due to weak summer season
Symphony witnessed a growth of ~23% in FY11 in its India operations due to a weak summer season. The summer
was weaker in Apr-June, 2011 whereby air-cooler sales saw a modest growth (similar to the air-conditioning industry).
A weaker summer season (which constitutes to ~50% of sales in a given normal year) resulted in lower air-cooler
demand whereby resulting in higher inventory. The inventory has increased YoY ~6x to Rs417 mn on a standalone
basis. We believe, the inventory build-up is one-off event due to weaker summer and going ahead the company will be
once again able to exhibit tighter control over the inventory.

Valuations
Symphony is one of the major players in the air cooler industry in the country. It has a strong brand name and a widespread
distribution network and is expected to see high growth due to the increased income, growing urbanization and higher
power availability. It is a proxy play on the mass consumption growing market in India.
There are not many listed players which are comparable. However the closest peer comparison to it will be the consumer
electronic industry and consumption players. The average consensus PER at which these companies trade is ~19x FY13
whereas Symphony trades at 10.1x FY13.

We believe that Symphony can trade at similar multiples as its peers given its growth trajectory and high return ratios.
However as the company has one product concentration it should trade at a discount and we have thus valued the
company at 12x FY13 (~40% discount to its peers.).We initiate with a BUY and a price target of Rs1,522 (12x FY13).
Risks
Lack of diversification: Symphony gets its revenues from one product namely air coolers and is thus exposed to
revenue risk in case of fall in demand.
Climatic changes: A delay in summer season/lower temperature during the summer season may result in lower
volume growth.
Risk from export market: Symphony has been rapidly growing its export volumes. In case it is not able to
penetrate the export markets further its future growth may be impacted
Increased competition from domestic/international players: There are many established players who are into
the air cooler industry and they can be a potential threat to Symphony’s dominance.
Inability to maintain/grow the distribution network: If the company is unable to maintain/expand the distribution
network its growth will be adversely affected.
Low liquidity: The stock has low liquidity and thus there may be a significant impact cost.

Company Report – Symphony Ltd.
Company Background
Symphony Ltd. was founded by Mr. Achal Bakeri in 1988 at Ahmedabad. It is one of the major air cooler players in the
country and has a 0.1 mn sq ft manufacturing facility at Thol, near Ahmedabad. It is also setting up an assembly unit at a
SEZ in Sachin (near Surat, Gujarat) for exports. The total capital expenditure on the SEZ will be ~Rs35 mn.
Symphony used to manufacture air coolers but in order to keep control over cost and to have large capacities it now
outsources the manufacturing of air coolers to OEMs. It has a technical team at each of the OEM’s in order to ensure that
the quality parameters are met.
Symphony develops its own models, designs and prototypes of air coolers before giving it to OEM’s for large scale
manufacturing. It currently has 10 OEMs which manufacture air coolers.
Symphony had been referred to the BIFR in 2002 due to erosion of net worth. However since then it has changed its
business strategy and from being present in multiple product categories such as washing machines, water purifiers etc it
now focuses primarily on air coolers. Besides air coolers it also is into water heaters which constitutes ~3% of total turnover.
Symphony has over the years built a comprehensive product portfolio of air coolers which thus helps it to meet the varied
customer requirement. It has a product range for all categories of customers and is thus able to penetrate the entire strata
of the market.
Symphony uses the distributor-dealer network to market its product in the country. It sells its product on cash to ~550
distributors which are spread across the breadth of the country. These distributors in turn undertake sales to ~10,000
dealers.
Beside the distributor-dealer network it also sells directly to large format stores such as Croma, Vijay Sales etc. Large
format stores contribute to ~10% of sales and they are given a credit period of 45-90 days.
Symphony has also been focusing on the export market. It sells its product in the export markets through distributors.
Symphony products are sold in ~54 countries such as USA, Mexico, Middle East etc. Exports contribute to ~16% of the
domestic turnover.
In order to increase its presence in export markets Symphony has acquired 100% stake in IMPCO, a Mexico based
company for ~ USD 0.65 mn. IMPCO has been in the air cooler industry for nearly six decades and has a significant
presence in the USA and Mexico market. Also IMPCO has an established relationship with large format stores such as
Wal Mart, Home Depot, Lowes etc.
The acquisition of IMPCO will help Symphony establish a presence in the USA and Mexico markets and also in large format
stores which will thus boost export sales. Also, IMPCO has the capability of making industrial air coolers which Symphony
does not possess.
Industrial air cooler is an untapped market in India and it can be used for providing cooling solutions for factories, offices
and even large residential houses.
Symphony has a professional team and is managed by Mr. Achal Bakeri, who is the Chairman and Managing Director.
The company has no plans to diversify into any other business as it sees high growth potential in the air cooler business.

Completion/leasing of ‘Market City’ properties is the key
With FY12 likely to be a year of completions, we expect ‘Market City’ properties to
stabilize only by FY13-end. HSP still accounts for with 63% contribution to our FY12 NAV
of Rs190. Initiate coverage with a HOLD rating.
‘Market City’ properties to stabilize only by FY13-end; NAV contribution at 18%
PML expects ‘Pune Market City’ to become operational in 1QFY12. The mall has LOIs/agreements in
place for ~75% of the total 1.2 msf retail space at an average rental of Rs60 psf. Kurla and Bangalore
properties are now expected to commence operations in Q2FY12, while the opening of Chennai mall
may slip into Q4FY12. Consequently, we expect a majority of these properties to stabilize only by
FY13-end. We value the contribution of 5 ‘Market City’ projects at Rs34 (18% of NAV).
Pune and Kurla commercial sales to boost FY12 PAT…
A significant proportion of revenue from the commercial sales in Pune and Kurla is expected to be
booked in FY12. Till date the company has sold inventory worth Rs2.6 bn, with cash collections
amounting to Rs1.4 bn. The commercial sale coupled with rental revenue from ‘Pune Market City’ is
likely to result in 23% YoY growth in FY12 PAT.
…however Shangri-La to be a drag on FY13 earnings
Assuming ARR/OPM of Rs10,000/35%, the hotel should operate at an occupancy level of ~65% just
to cover its interest cost. With occupancy levels expected to remain ~40% in FY13 (first year of
operations), the consolidated profitability is likely to be impacted due to Shangri-La’s high interest
cost. We expect consolidated PAT to witness de-growth of 12% in FY13 to Rs1.0 bn. Due to high
development cost, we see limited value accretion in the property and value PML’s 53% stake at
Rs11 per share (1x equity investment).
HSP still the major contributor to NAV at 63%; provides downside support to valuations
We estimate HSP NAV at Rs120 or 63% of our target price. Unlike other real estate companies,
operational rental asset (HSP) forms a significant portion of the PML’s NAV, which should act as a
downside support to valuations.
Stock trading at 3% premium to our FY12 NAV; Initiate with a HOLD
We initiate coverage on Phoenix Mills with a HOLD rating and a target price of Rs190 based on 1x
our FY12 NAV. HSP contributes Rs120 (63%), while the 5 Market Cities together account for Rs34
(18%). The balance Rs26 is contributed by EWDPL, BARE and other hospitality projects.
Risks: Better than expected leasing/rentals of ‘Market City’ properties is the key upside risks to our
estimates.

Summary
Talwalkar Better Fitness Value (TBFV) is the largest health club player in the country and amongst top
twenty in the world. It is an early entrant into the health club market in India and has been able to build a
strong brand name by providing high quality equipment and service. TBFV is on an expansion spree and
plans to increase its owned gyms by ~2x to 143 by FY13 without any further equity dilution. TBFL will
have a CAGR in Revenue/PAT of 41%/38% during FY11-13 and will see its return ratios significantly
improving (RoE/RoIC~20%/13.7% in FY13). We believe TBFV to be a play on the growing healthcare
market in India and initiate with a BUY and a target price of Rs203 (16x FY13).
Investment Highlights
Under penetration + Increasing income + growing health awareness = High growth potential
The penetration of fitness market in India is ~0.4% (taken for top 7 cities) as per IHRSA report
200809, which is significantly lower than other nations (China 2.3%, Japan 3.1%). The growing
income, increasing urbanization and higher health awareness in India will result in higher penetration
of fitness market. As TBFV is the largest player in the market with a strong brand it will be a major
beneficiary of this growing market.
Strong brand name + First mover advantage + Large reach = High growth
TBFV has a strong brand name in the health club market in the country. It has been able to provide
high quality equipment with good service which has thus enabled it to be a prominent player in the
otherwise fragmented market. TBFV is one of the first movers in the industry and has a pan India
presence (~50 towns) which will enable it to cater to the widespread market. We expect TBFV to
have a CAGR in Revenue/PAT of 41%/38% during FY11-13.
Number of gyms to double by 2013 without any further dilution
TBFV will increase its owned gyms by ~2x to 143 gyms by FY13. TBFV had raised ~Rs774 mn in
2010 through an IPO to repay high cost debt (~Rs206 mn) and to fund its expansion plans for
27 gyms (~Rs502 mn). The company has been able to deploy the funds as per expected use and will
now require no further dilution for its future growth plans (35 gyms each in FY12/FY13). With no
further dilution required and the benefits of expansions to come, the return ratios are going to improve
(ROE/ROIC of 20%/13.7% in FY13).
Attractive Valuations: BUY with a target price of Rs203
TBFV is a play on the growing healthcare market in India. It has a strong brand name and is now
capitalizing, with rapid expansion. There are not any listed comparable players and thus its closest
comparable peers are the consumption companies (Jubilant Foodworks, Page Industries, Titan
Industries etc) which trade at an average PER of ~28x FY13. As TBFV will have lower return ratios in
the near term and also its execution capabilities will be under scanner, we believe it will trade at a
discount (~40%) to the comparable peer set. We initiate with a BUY and a target price of Rs203 (PER
16x FY13).

Investment Positives
Untapped market potential
The fitness market size in India is estimated to be US$113 mn. This market is highly under penetrated with a mere
0.4% (taken for top 7 cities) of the population having a fitness club membership compared to 2.3% in China and 3.7% in
Asia Pacific.
Figure: Membership penetration rates
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
In India as per IHRSA Asia Pacific Market Report, 2008 the total number of fitness club in India are 765 and number of
membership was 0.23 mn. The industry is highly fragmented with many standalone gyms. This industry is in the early
growth stages with little differentiation and high price sensitivity.
In India the income of the people is going to increase and as per MGI (McKinsey Global Institute) with the increasing
income the spending on health care is going to increase significantly.
Figure: Annual spending on health care (Rs bn)
Source: MGI, IDBI Capital Research
We believe with the growing spending on healthcare, the fitness market will see high growth and as TBVF is an early
mover in this industry and has a strong brand, it will be a major beneficiary.

Growing urbanization to act as a catalyst for health club market growth
In India, as per United Nations the percentage of urban population is going to increase from ~30% in 2010 to ~54.2%
by 2050. Increasing urbanization will result in greater usage of fitness club due to higher health awareness and growing
lifestyle diseases.
Figure: Urbanization on an increasing trend
Source: United Nations, IDBI Capital Research
The no of towns/cities with a population >0.5 mn is 65 as per census 2001. As per TBVF every city/town with a
population of ~0.6 mn can accommodate one health club of its kind. The growing urbanization will thus increase the
number of towns/cities with a population >0.6 mn whereby further expanding the potential market for TBVF.
Lifestyle disease on a rise whereby increasing the demand of health clubs
In India lifestyle disease is on a significant rise due to the changing work environment, increased consumption of fast
foods etc.
It is estimated that ~5% of the population have morbid obesity and ~20% of Indians above the age of 40 suffer from
blood pressure. Also India leads the number of people suffering from diabetes and by 2030 ~9% of the population will
be affected by it (Source: International Diabetic Federation).
The increasing life style diseases create a burgeoning need for fitness clubs along with other physical activities. We
believe that the rising lifestyle disease will increase the usage of fitness clubs and as TBVF is one of the early movers
and has a strong brand, it stands to gain from this trend.
Growing awareness for a healthy lifestyle to spur future growth
The awareness among Indians about having a healthy lifestyle is increasing. As per an AC Neilsen’s Global Online
Consumer Survey findings released in 2009, 54% of Indian respondents think they have an issue with their weight, 80%
people said they exercise once a week and going to gym was the second most preferred option for exercise
after walking.

Figure: Forms of exercise preferred by Indians Figure: Frequency of exercise
Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
We believe growing awareness amongst Indians will lead to increasing number of individuals going to gym’s in future
which augurs well for the industry.
Changing demographic profile + higher education + increased awareness = Robust growth for fitness industry
India has a young population and it is expected that the population will continue to remain young for the next two
decades. Currently ~65% of the population is between the age of 15-64 and it is expected that ~68% of the population
in 2030 will remain in this age group. It has been globally seen that the people in the age group of 18-54 tend to
exercise more.
The literacy level in India is expected to improve significantly over the next two decades. With increasing literacy the
awareness for better healthy lifestyle will also follow. Also, growing literacy will increase the income of the people thus
enabling them to spend on better lifestyle.
We believe the combination of a young population, higher literacy and increased awareness will result in increased
number of people having membership of fitness clubs. As TBVF is one of the major players in the health club market in
India with a pan India presence and has a first mover advantage it stands to gain tremendously.
Higher media penetration and increased aspiration level to augur well for the fitness industry
The satellite penetration of media in India over the last decade has increased the exposure of the masses towards
modern lifestyle in which going to gym is part of a normal routine. Also during the past decade the income level of
people in semi urban/rural areas has increased due to various governmental schemes as well as demographic
changes. The increased income has resulted in aspirations of the masses rising and thus they too want to adapt to the
modern lifestyle.
We believe this trend is going to continue and will result in a significant growth in the membership base of the fitness
club and TBVF will be a significant beneficiary of this growing trend.
A strong brand name to lure the customer base in an otherwise fragmented industry
TBVF is one of the earliest entrants in the fitness market in India with its co-promoters opening the first gym about
50 years ago. TBVF is today the largest fitness chain in India and the second largest in Asia. It has a presence in 50
towns across the country.
TBVF has built a strong brand name for itself by providing the latest gym equipments. It has also standardized the
equipment to be used. Besides this, in order to provide quality training to its members it has built a training centre in
Thane where it trains the staff whereby they can offer standardized service to all its members across all locations. As
the major variant in the fitness industry besides equipment are the trainers, the company by standardizing them has
tried to remove the variability from the industry.

We believe standardization of services and equipment across the country will be a key differentiator for TBVF in an
otherwise highly fragmented industry. Also, its pan India foot print, ability to deliver consistent similar service across the
country and its presence in the industry for many decades will hold it in high stead against its competitors.
Competitive pricing to help gain significant market presence
TBVF has kept its price point attractive vis-à-vis its competitors. It has positioned itself in a way whereby the mass
market finds its pricing to within its reach and at the same time it carries a premium tag to it (due to use of latest
equipment and availability of high quality trainers).

Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research
Also, in order to give its customers a better experience it provides value added services such as aerobics, spinning,
steam, sauna etc. The availability of a complete gamut of services under one roof ensures customer loyalty as well as
attracts newer customers.
We believe the strong brand name, high service quality and attractive price point TBVF provides will be instrumental in
getting a significant presence in the fitness market in India.
Well funded for future growth
TBVF had in 1HFY11 raised ~Rs774 mn through an IPO. The money was raised to open 27 new gyms and also to
repay high cost debt (~Rs206 mn). We believe with the money which was raised and the expansion plan spelt out by
the management, it is well funded to grow over the next 3-4 years and requires no further dilution.
Number of owned gyms to increase by ~2x over FY11-13
TBVF plans to increase its owned gyms from 73 in FY11 to 143 in FY13. The company plans to expand its presence
from 28 towns in FY10 to 85 towns by FY13. The increase in number of gyms will result in the company having a wider
pan India presence and higher membership.
We believe that the aggressive strategy of increasing its number of gyms will hold the company in good stead due to
the under penetration of fitness club and will result in it having a significant market share and gaining on its first mover
advantage.

A robust business model
TBVF target markets are geographies where the population is > 0.6mn. It believes that any geography which has this
population can accommodate at least one health club of its kind. TBVF gets ~800-900 members within the first year of
operations of the health club and ~1,000 members within 18 months. The membership fee is ~Rs13,000-15,000 p.a.
and the payback period for a health club is ~3-4 years.
TBVF besides having its own gyms also gives franchisees. It has 7 franchisees and it charges ~6-8 of revenues as
royalty. The company however now plans to focus on opening its own gyms.
TBVF in April, 2011 has announced to enter into the Tier III & Tier IV cities with the launch of HiFi Gyms. These gyms
will be priced lower than the existing gyms and will have lesser facilities but will have similar OPM’s as the
current gyms.

The company plans to open HiFi gyms either through franchisees or on its own. We believe there is tremendous
potential for low cost gym in Tier III & Tier IV cities and if the company is able to launch these gyms and deliver the
margins it will see very high growth. However, we have been conservative and have not factored any revenue /capex
for these gyms in our assumption as we would like to see how the execution of this is done.

We believe TBVF has a robust business model which can generate high returns and is scalable. It will be a significant
beneficiary of the growing health awareness in the country. Also, the first mover advantage it has will enable it to
capitalize on the growing healthcare market.

Revenue/PAT to have a CAGR of 41%/38% between FY11-13
TBVF will have a top line CAGR of ~41% during FY11-13. The increase in top line is due to ~2x increase in owned
gyms. The PAT is expected to have a CAGR of 38% during FY11-13 due to sustained OPM and increase in top line.

TBVF had a debt-equity ratio of 2.1x in FY10. In 1HFY11, the company raised capital of Rs774 mn through an IPO for
meeting its capital expenditure requirement as well as repaying some high cost debt (~Rs260 mn). Post the IPO the
debt-equity has come down to 0.7x in FY11.TBVF is opening 70 new owned gyms during FY12-FY13 across India and
these are expected to contribute to the top line and bottom line. We expect the D/E to be ~0.9x in FY13.

Valuation
TBVF is a play on the growing healthcare market in India. It is expected to have a CAGR of 38% in earnings during
FY1113. There are not any comparable listed peers in the category where the company operates.
We have thus compared TBVF to the domestic consumption plays. The average consensus PER at which these companies
trade is 28x FY13 whereas TBVF trades at 12.8x FY13E. However, as compared to its peers TBVF’s ROE is lower as it is
on an expansion spree but gradually it will move closer to its listed consumption peers.
We believe given the secular growth area in which it operates and limited listed peers, TBVF could command a similar
multiple as its other consumption peers. However, since the ROE is going to be lower in the near term and the execution
capabilities will be under scanner, we believe that the stock will trade at a discount (~40%) to its comparable listed peers.
However this discount will shrink as the execution of the gyms happen and the return ratios improve.
We have valued TBVF at 16x FY13 (~40% discount to its listed peers) and initiate with BUY and a target price of Rs203.

Concerns
Inability to maintain the service levels: TBFV has been able to build a strong brand due to the high service
quality it provides. In case the company is unable to maintain its service levels its growth may be affected.
Unorganized market: The gym market in India is highly fragmented with the presence of many small players.
These small players can affect the market dynamics.
Entry of multinationals: Many large scale global players are entering the Indian fitness market. These may cause
threat to the growth prospects of TBFV.
Slow down in the economy: Any significant slowdown may affect the growth prospects of the company.
Entry to unrelated businesses: Any diversification into unrelated businesses may stall the future growth
prospects.
Risk of Dilution: TBFV plans to enter into “Recreation club’ whereby providing sports, recreation, food and leisure
activities all under one roof. To fund the expansion plans it may have to dilute whereby affecting the earnings.

Completion/leasing of ‘Market City’ properties is the key
With FY12 likely to be a year of completions, we expect ‘Market City’ properties to
stabilize only by FY13-end. HSP still accounts for with 63% contribution to our FY12 NAV
of Rs190. Initiate coverage with a HOLD rating.
‘Market City’ properties to stabilize only by FY13-end; NAV contribution at 18%
PML expects ‘Pune Market City’ to become operational in 1QFY12. The mall has LOIs/agreements in
place for ~75% of the total 1.2 msf retail space at an average rental of Rs60 psf. Kurla and Bangalore
properties are now expected to commence operations in Q2FY12, while the opening of Chennai mall
may slip into Q4FY12. Consequently, we expect a majority of these properties to stabilize only by
FY13-end. We value the contribution of 5 ‘Market City’ projects at Rs34 (18% of NAV).
Pune and Kurla commercial sales to boost FY12 PAT…
A significant proportion of revenue from the commercial sales in Pune and Kurla is expected to be
booked in FY12. Till date the company has sold inventory worth Rs2.6 bn, with cash collections
amounting to Rs1.4 bn. The commercial sale coupled with rental revenue from ‘Pune Market City’ is
likely to result in 23% YoY growth in FY12 PAT.
…however Shangri-La to be a drag on FY13 earnings
Assuming ARR/OPM of Rs10,000/35%, the hotel should operate at an occupancy level of ~65% just
to cover its interest cost. With occupancy levels expected to remain ~40% in FY13 (first year of
operations), the consolidated profitability is likely to be impacted due to Shangri-La’s high interest
cost. We expect consolidated PAT to witness de-growth of 12% in FY13 to Rs1.0 bn. Due to high
development cost, we see limited value accretion in the property and value PML’s 53% stake at
Rs11 per share (1x equity investment).
HSP still the major contributor to NAV at 63%; provides downside support to valuations
We estimate HSP NAV at Rs120 or 63% of our target price. Unlike other real estate companies,
operational rental asset (HSP) forms a significant portion of the PML’s NAV, which should act as a
downside support to valuations.
Stock trading at 3% premium to our FY12 NAV; Initiate with a HOLD
We initiate coverage on Phoenix Mills with a HOLD rating and a target price of Rs190 based on 1x
our FY12 NAV. HSP contributes Rs120 (63%), while the 5 Market Cities together account for Rs34
(18%). The balance Rs26 is contributed by EWDPL, BARE and other hospitality projects.
Risks: Better than expected leasing/rentals of ‘Market City’ properties is the key upside risks to our
estimates.

V-Guard Industries Ltd. Play on mass consumption story
COMPANY
UPDATE
CMP Rs215
Target Price Rs244
Potential Upside/Downside +14%
Relative to Sensex
Summary
V-Guard is into the manufacturing and marketing of products such as stabilizers, cables, water and solar heater, pumps, fans, UPS and Digital UPS which have mass consumption demand. It is a significant brand in South India. It has recently expanded operations pan India and we believe the market for its products offer high growth opportunities. We expect revenue/PAT CAGR of 28%/25% during FY11-13. Maintain ACCUMLATE and price target of Rs244 (12x PER FY13E).
Investment Highlights
A play on the mass consumption market in India
V-Guard products are consumed by the mass market. As per NCAER, the number of middle income households is going to increase by 70% to 238 mn households by 2015. The growing middle class in India, lower penetration of household appliances, increasing housing activity will lead to sustained demand for the company's product portfolio. Also increased power availability in the country over the next few years will result in higher demand.
Broad portfolio + wide distributor network + prominent brand name = High Growth
V-Guard over the last decade has expanded its product portfolio from stabilizers and cables to many other products such as pumps, electric and solar water heaters, UPS, Digital UPS and Fans. These products have high demand especially in the semi-urban and rural market. It has also over the past three years nearly doubled its distribution network (208 distributors, 2,688 dealers and ~11,000 retailers) and thus addressed the wide spread market. As it has a strong brand name, it has been able to enter newer consumer related products and has significant presence. We believe the robust product portfolio along with a wide reach will enable a revenue/PAT CAGR of 28%/25% during FY11-13.
Expanding geographical reach to aid high growth
V-Guard has predominantly been a South Indian player but over the past few years it has expanded its presence across India. It has been able to penetrate the newer markets due to its product portfolio and ability to set up a wide distribution network. In order to cater to the growing market it has also increased its product portfolio. VGuard has grown its revenues from Non-South markets from 3% of sales in FY07 to 22% in FY11. We believe that the increased product portfolio, wide distribution network and new geographical markets will result in sustainable growth over the next few years.
Revenue/PAT CAGR of 28%/25% during FY11-13
V-Guard had a top line and bottom line CAGR of ~34% during FY06-11. Going ahead, we expect revenue/PAT CAGR of 28%/25% during FY11-13 due to entry into new markets and increased revenues from its expanded product portfolio. V-Guard OPM is expected to decline by ~15bps (9.9%) in FY12 and by further ~10bps (9.8%) in FY13 due to increased contribution from low margin products (cables, fans etc) and raw material cost pressure.
Working Capital cycle to stabilize
V-Guard‟s working capital increased significantly in FY11 primarily due to higher inventory. The increase in inventory was primarily due to higher stocking of finished goods in order to cater to the high demand period (AprJun). Management has guided that going ahead the working capital should reduce due to lower debtor days by giving cash discounts and providing channel financing too. Also prudent inventory management will enable inventory days to reduce.
Attractive Valuation: Maintain ACCUMULATE and a price target of Rs244
V-Guard has outperformed the BSE sensex (return of ~34% since our coverage in August, 2010 as against BSE giving negative returns of 8%). Going ahead, we believe the company is poised for high growth as it has created a broad portfolio, wide distribution network and a strong brand name. We continue to value V-Guard at a PER of 12x FY13 and maintain our target price of Rs244.

Strong brand name and wide spread distributor network

large distribution network and can leverage it to become a complete kitchenware player in the

Company Background
Hitachi Home & Life Solutions (India) is a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Hitachi. HHLS is into manufacturing
and selling of ‘Hitachi’ brand of air conditioners and trading of ‘Hitachi’ brand of refrigerators, washing machines
and chillers.
HHLS has its air conditioner manufacturing plants located at Kadi (Gujarat) and Jammu and has a combined production
capacity of 4 lakhs unit per annum on single shift basis.
HHLS main product category is Air Conditioners and it has presence in the room air conditioner (RAC), ductable air
conditioner and telecom air conditioners.
In the RAC segment HHLS has a ~9% market share (~7% in volume terms). The RAC market grew by ~31% in FY11
and is expected to see a sustainable high growth (~20%) for the next few years. The growth in RAC market is due to
lower penetration (~3%), increasing trend of considering RAC as a necessity vis-à-vis luxury and rising disposable
income. HHLS plans to increase its market share to ~12% in value terms and ~10% in volume terms going ahead by
increasing its product range, geographical presence and dealer network.
In the RAC market the split AC segment is witnessing high growth due to energy efficiency, better looks and lesser
noise. The split RAC market accounts for ~65% of the total AC market in the country.
RAC is the main business segment of HHLS. It has a national presence in RAC with ~1,800 dealer network. In order to
further capture the market, new innovative products developed by its R&D team have been introduced with unique
features. Also, it is expanding its dealer network to ~3,000 by CY11 which will thus enable its future growth.
HHLS has focused on R&D and developed energy efficient AC’s along with added features. The focus on product
development with high energy efficiency and its technical tie-up with Hitachi of Japan has enabled strong growth for the
company. In FY10 of the total split AC sold by the company ~79% were 5-star rated AC’s (highest in energy efficiency)
and in FY11 it launched the first 5 star rated window AC in the country.
HHLS in order to further penetrate the air conditioner market has launched low tonnage air conditioners and also mass
market product range. It had launched ‘Kaze’ a few years ago which caters to the middle class income group.
The mass market product range has enabled it to penetrate the Tier II and Tier III cities. It had a presence in 236 towns
across the country in June 2010 and plans to expand its presence to ~300 towns by FY12. The geographical expansion
and increase in number of dealers will lead to its future growth.
The ductable air conditioner market has been under pressure due to user industries such as infrastructure, retail, IT&
ITES seeing lower demand. The ductable air conditioner segment is expected to continue to be under pressure as
demand from user industries is expected to remain low in the near term. The ductable AC market grew by ~6% in FY11
whereas HHLS saw a growth of ~11%.
In the telecom air conditioner (TAC) segment HHLS has increased its market share to ~42% in FY11 from ~32% in
FY10. The TAC market had seen de-growth in FY11 due to the telecom operators sharing towers and new set ups not
coming. HHLS has been able to garner a high market share in the TAC market due to the various safety features,
energy efficiency and lower operating cost its product have. Also it has AC systems which are specifically designed for
unmanned Telecom shelters/Telecom BTS sites which thus resulted in it capturing the TAC market.
HHLS revenue CAGR during FY06-11 was 24%. The growth in revenues has been led primarily by volume growth
(~24%). The PAT CAGR during FY06-11 was 16% and was lower than revenue CAGR primarily due to a decline in
OPM in FY11. The decline in OPM in FY11 is due to higher raw material cost and increased manufacturing cost.
HHLS is managed by a professional team and its day to day operations are headed by Mr. Motoo Morimoto
(Managing Director).
