Index Details Leadership presence in niche under-penetrated product categories, expansion of its distribution reach and strong focus on rural markets should help Emami Ltd (Emami) drive its top line going ahead. Moreover, despite the revenue concentration among the top four brands, no single brand accounts for more than 20-22% of revenues and hence provides stability to revenues. This coupled with the regular flow of 2-3 new product launches / extensions every year should help keep the company’s brand and product portfolio reinvigorated. Emami has a very aggressive marketing strategy in place. Its two-fold A&P strategy of using celebrity endorsements (one at the national level and another at regional level) should help improve their brand communication. This coupled with expansion of distribution network and rural focus should ensure growth momentum of company’s brands, going ahead. We expect Emami’s revenues to grow at 14.7% CAGR over FY13-15E to `2,237.2 crore by FY15E from `1,699.1 crore clocked in FY13. We initiate coverage on Emami as a BUY with a Price Objective of `539 representing an upside potential of ~14% over

the next 15 months. At the CMP of `475, the stock is trading at 29.1x and 24.7x its FY14E and FY15E earnings respectively. Emami’s revenues to grow at a healthy pace

Its international business (11% of sales) is also likely to witness strong traction (~15-20% CAGR) over the next couple of years on the back of demand pick up in key markets. On this backdrop, we expect Emami‟s revenues to grow at 14.7% CAGR over FY13-15E to `2,237.2 crore by FY15E from `1,699.1 crore clocked in FY13.

Presence in low penetrated categories, aggressive promotion

through celebrity endorsements and expansion in rural reach provides long term growth visibility

Given the fact that ~60% of company‟s revenues come from categories which are relatively under penetrated, we believe that this attribute presents significant growth opportunity for Emami in the long term. Secondly, Emami follows two-fold A&P strategy i.e. one at the national level and another at regional level which is highly skewed towards celebrity endorsements. This aggressive strategy makes Emami one of the most aggressive spenders in the industry (~16.4% of sales in FY13) which we believe should help the company maintain growth momentum, going ahead. Lastly, on the distribution front, the company has a strong network of 3,000+ distributors, ~5,600 sub-distributors and ~6 lakh direct retail outlets tapping huge mass segment (targeting to reach 8.0 lakh direct retail outlets by FY15) and 40 lakh indirect outlets which should help company penetrate further. This expansion of distribution network coupled with rural focus should ensure growth momentum of company‟s brands.

Valuation

We initiate coverage on Emami Ltd (Emami) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `539 representing an upside potential of ~14% over the next 15 months. At the CMP of `475, the stock is trading at 29.1x and 24.7x its FY14E and FY15E earnings

respectively. During past three years, Emami has broadly traded in 25-29x one-year forward PE band. We believe that the stock has the potential to trade in the upper range of this band on account of strong positioning in under-penetrated categories, thrust on rural market penetration, aggressive ad spends and rapid expansion in distribution network. Moreover, strong growth in International business should give push overall profitability and revenue growth. Accordingly, we have assigned a target multiple of 28x to its FY15E earnings translating into a target price of `539.

Company Background

Emami Ltd (Emami), the flagship company of the Emami group, is one of the fastest

growing FMCG players in India. The company is a niche category player / innovator

in the relatively under penetrated therapeutic and ayurvedic categories, with

products such as antiseptic cream, fairness cream, talcum powder, cooling oil,

balms and pain relievers. Moreover, it has a large OTC portfolio constituting ~300

products based on ayurvedic formulations.

The company currently has 3,000+ distributors, 600,000+ retail outlets (direct

distribution reach) and a brand reach of 4 mn outlets. It plans to scale up its direct

distribution reach to 800,000 retail outlets over the next couple of years. Besides the

domestic market, the company has a presence in more than 60 countries, including

GCC, UK, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Africa and CIS countries and overseas

geographies contribute a little over 10% of its net sales.

Key Investment Highlights

Emami’s revenues to grow at a healthy pace

Over the period FY10-13, Emami‟s revenue has grown at a robust pace of ~18.5%

CAGR from `1,021.7 crore in FY10 to `1,699.1 crore in FY13. This growth was

largely driven by distribution expansion, product innovations and strong rural

revenue growth. Particularly the power brands (65% of revenues) comprising of

Navratna, Boroplus, Zandu & Mentho Plus and Fair & Handsome have witnessed

resounding successes, evidenced by the fact that they are market leaders in their

respective segments. Despite the revenue concentration among the top four brands

it is pertinent to note that no single brand accounts for more than 20-22% of

revenues. This lends stability to revenues.

Going ahead, we expect the company‟s power brands to drive the top line growth on

the back of its eminent presence in niche under-penetrated product categories,

expansion of its distribution reach and strong focus on rural markets. The

management has communicated to us that every year there will be a regular flow of

two to three new product launches under the umbrella of its power brands. This

should help keep the brand and product portfolio reinvigorated besides building on

the brand equity further.

Its international business (11% of sales) is also likely to witness strong traction (~15-

20% CAGR) over the next couple of years on the back of a demand pick up in key

markets. SAARC (primarily Bangladesh) and GCC are its two largest markets,

contributing ~45% and ~20%, respectively, to its international business revenues.

We expect Emami‟s revenues to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% over FY13-15E to

`2,237.2 crore by FY15E from `1,699.1 crore clocked in FY13.

Product leadership and thrust on new launches (extensions) augers well for Emami

Given the leadership position of its power brands across categories, the company‟s

future marketing strategy is to drive growth from existing brands (2-3 innovations

p.a.) and by expanding distribution reach. We believe that this strategy of focusing

on brand extension over new launches augers well for the company as the

extensions have a tendency to grow faster by leveraging on the existing brand

equity.

Further, Emami‟s success in creating a new product category, namely the men‟s

fairness cream category (Fair & Handsome), spells out the fact that the management

has a clear understanding of its market and demographics. This should stand the

company in good stead for its nrew product launches.

Demand pick up in the key export markets to boost exports going ahead

During FY11-13, exports were relatively flat (~0.5% CAGR) owing to the multiple headwinds in the international markets such as:

a) infiltration of counterfeits in Russia, b) political unrest in Egypt and GCC, c) discontinuation of low margin products EMTIA and BONITA range (in

Q3FY12) and d) increase in import duty of FMCG products in Bangladesh (~70-100%).

With a new manufacturing facility set up in Bangladesh (Q3FY13 onwards), we believe that the Bangladesh geography (~45% of exports) should witness traction as it will not only result in duty saving, but also help increase the demand (as it will increase the competitiveness of the company‟s products). This facility will cater to ~80-90% of Bangladesh‟s demand. Meanwhile, the GCC region continues to experience steady growth.

Presence in under-penetrated categories, aggressive promotion through celebrity endosrsements and expansion in rural reach provides long term growth visibility

Given the fact that ~60% of the company‟s revenues comes from relatively under penetrated segments, we believe that this attribute presents significant growth opportunity for Emami in the long term. Moreover, the company‟s early entry into these segments and its leadership position and strong brand equity endorses our faith in the company‟s future growth story.

We believe that the underpenetrated segment offers relatively better growth potential (than the highly penetrated segment), which is evident from the fact that while the Hair Oil category‟s volumes have grown at a CAGR of 8.1% in FY08-13 (~75% penetration level), the Cooling Hair Oil category has grown at a faster pace of 14.5% CAGR over the same period.

Secondly, Emami spends ~16.4% of sales (in FY13) on advertisement and promotion and is one of the highest spenders in the industry. Moreover, the company‟s A&P strategy is highly skewed towards celebrity endorsements (celebrity costs constitute ~10% of A&P spends). Under this, Emami follows two-fold marketing strategy i.e. one at the national level and another at regional level.

Given the fact that aggressive marketing spends have helped Emami to gain market share across its power brands (highlighted above), we believe, this should continue to help maintain the growth momentum.

Lastly, on the distribution front, the company has a strong network of 3,000+ distributors, ~5,600 sub-distributors and ~6 lakh direct retail outlets, tapping the huge mass segment (targeting to reach 8.0 lakh direct retail outlets by FY15) and 40 lakh indirect outlets. Currently, the company derives ~52% of domestic revenue from rural markets (~26% of the domestic revenue comes from direct rural initiatives). In order to penetrate further into rural areas i.e. towns/villages which have populations of up to 10,000, Emami has initiated 'Project Swadesh'. The company has an ambitious target of adding another 2 lakh retail outlets by FY15 and increase the share of direct distribution reach from ~26% to 35% in the next 18 months. This expansion of its distribution network and rural focus should ensure growth momentum of company‟s brands going ahead as well.

Risks RM volatility If raw material prices (Menthol or crude-linked LLP) rise in an extreme manner, it may adversely affect Emami by either affecting margins or volumes. This could lead to deviation from our estimates. Seasonality This is a big concern as Emami‟s products are seasonal in nature. Navratna cooling oil (~20% of sales) and Talc (6-7% of sales) derive most of their revenues during the summer whereas Boroplus (~15% of sales) derives most of its sales during the winter. Hence, milder summers and winters can disrupt sales of these products.

Through “Project Swadesh”, Emami bets big on rural India

In FY11, Emami first invested in creating a separate distribution system for rural markets under “Project Swadesh”.

It adopted a hub-and-spoke model by appointing super-stockists and sub-stockists who move around villages in vehicles.

Since direct distribution involves stocking products with retailers without going through wholesalers, the company has been able to cut costs (as wholesalers tend to push products with better margins) as well as reduce dependency on wholesalers.

Moreover, direct distribution, as opposed to using distributors or wholesalers, ensures both better quality and cross-selling opportunities for consumer companies.

Rural marketing through direct channel contributes about ~17% of the firm‟s total sales, which it expects to increase to more than 35% in the next three years.

The company also reaches out to rural consumers via marketing in local events like Kumbh Mela and through cultural shows like Jatras.

Financial Performance

During Q2FY14, Emami reported an impressive set of numbers with its top-line witnessing a growth of 12.8% YoY to `406.7 crore, backed by the strong growth in

the international (+27% YoY) and domestic businesses (+11% YoY; volume growth - ~6% YoY). The revival in international sales was witnessed, led primarily by GCC and Bangladesh. Volume growth moderated during the quarter as the sales of cooling oil and Zandu balm were impacted due to high rainfalls and a price increase, respectively. During the quarter, Navratna cooling oil grew by 6% in value terms, while volumes grew marginally by 3%. Zandu Balm reported flat growth in sales with decline in volume growth. However, winter brand, Boroplus antiseptic cream, reported a strong growth of 30% YoY on the back of an inventory push to dealers and distributors ahead of the winter season. Fair & Handsome also reported a robust growth of 20% YoY, driven by a mix of volume (~9%) and price hikes. Lastly, the Zandu Healthcare division continued to report a healthy volume growth of 28%. The EBITDA and PAT rose significantly by 28.6% YoY and 34.7% YoY to `112.8 crore and `79.9 crore, respectively. The EBITDA margin improved by 340 bps YoY

to 27.7%, owing to the lower mentha oil prices, which lead to gross margin expansion. Growth in the bottom-line was primarily due to improvement in the EBITDA margin, higher other income (+84% YoY; driven by interest income and income from liquid investments) and relatively lower growth in depreciation (+1% YoY). The EBITDA margin surged by 340 bps YoY to 27.7% from 24.3% in Q2FY13, owing to easing of input prices coupled with strong cost optimization measures.

Financial Outlook

With a leadership position in niche under-penetrated product categories, expansion of its distribution reach, aggressive ad spends and a strong focus on rural markets, we expect Emami‟s power brands to drive growth going ahead. This, coupled with 2-3 new product extensions every year, should help keep the brand and product portfolio reinvigorated and enable it to further build on its brand equity. Moreover, its international business is also likely to witness strong traction over the next couple of years on the back of a demand pick up in key markets. Against this backdrop, we expect the company‟s revenue to grow at a CAGR of ~14.7% CAGR over FY13-15E to `2,237.2 crore with an EBITDA margin in the 20-22% range (21.4% by FY15E v/s 20.4% in FY13). The earnings, as a result, are expected to grow at ~17.8% CAGR over FY13-15E to `436.8 crore by FY15E from

`314.7 crore in FY13.

Valuation

We initiate coverage on Emami Ltd (Emami) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `539, which represents an upside potential of ~14% over the next 15 months. At the

CMP of `475, the stock is trading at 29.1x and 24.7x its FY14E and FY15E earnings, respectively. During past three years, Emami has broadly traded in the 25-29x one-year forward PE band. We believe that the stock has the potential to trade in the upper range of this band on account of its strong positioning in under-penetrated categories, thrust on rural market penetration, aggressive ad spends and rapid expansion in distribution network. Moreover, strong growth in its international business should give push overall profitability and revenue growth. Accordingly, we have assigned a target multiple of 28x to its FY15E earnings, translating into a target price of `539.
