have allowed it to fulfill its responsibilities towards its customers. The responsibility of

performance.

Brighter than before
Upgrade to OUTPERFORM: We upgrade our rating on Havells to an
OUTPERFORM (from Neutral) with a revised target price of Rs455 (up from
Rs431), led by our view of continued recovery in Sylvanias financial
performance (raise EPS by 12-17% for FY11-13) and potential deleveraging,
which reduces risk.
Strong consumption trends to drive performance: Havells continues to
benefit from strong consumption trends in India and increased preference for
branded products. We expect domestic revenue for Havells to grow faster
than end-market growth, led by market share gains in the lighting and
consumer business, introduction of new consumer products and recovery in
sales for industrial products. Furthermore, a better-than-expected
performance at Sylvania supports earnings growth. For Sylvania, we
estimate EBITDA margin at 5.5%/7.5% for FY11/12, above our prior
estimates of 4.5%/5.1% on better-than-expected benefits from restructuring
and increasing gearing towards emerging markets.
Deleveraging reduces risk rating: While we are not as optimistic as
management on Sylvanias near-term fortunes, we share management
optimism on longer-term growth for Sylvania, led by expansion into emerging
markets (higher growth, higher margins). We, however, believe the key
benefit that Havells derives from a recovery in Sylvania, is its ability to
deleverage (D/E: 2.3:1) through equity fund raising, with limited dilution.
Earnings upgrades key driver: We believe strong execution from Havells
in the domestic market as well as Sylvania could trigger consensus
upgrades, driving stock price performance. Its underperformance over the
past three months also provides an attractive entry point, in our view. Our
target price is based on 12x EV/EBITDA (domestic business) and 7x for
Sylvania. Key risk to our view is a substantial slowdown in Europe.
