The non-cigarette FMCG revenues grew moderately by 11% (affected by a general slowdown in the industry) while the hotel business revenues stood flat due to a silent business period. The GPM declined by 429BPS YoY largely on account of a change in the revenue mix and an increase in the prices of some key inputs. However, OPM declined by only 73BPS to 35.4%. The cigarette business PBIT margin improved by 140BPS YoY to 64.5% on the back of a price hike undertaken in the cigarette portfolio. The non-cigarette FMCG business posted a loss of Rs16 crore while the agriculture business margin dropped by almost 300BPS to 6.0%. Overall, the operating profit grew by 17.4% YoY to Rs3,277.6 crore and the PAT grew by 16% YoY to Rs2,186.4 crore largely on the back of a strong growth in the revenues. Q1FY2015 was largely a quarter of a mixed performance for ITC. Going ahead, we expect the cigarette sales volume to remain under pressure as the company plans to hike prices again to mitigate the impact of a sharp increase in the excise duty on cigarettes. However, we expect the cigarette business revenues to remain in double digits while the PBIT margin is likely to sustain YoY. We believe revival in the other FMCG business would depend on an overall improvement in the prospects of some of the key FMCG categories. We have broadly maintained our earnings estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 and believe that the company is well-poised to achieve an earnings CAGR of 16% over the next two years. We continue to like ITC in view of its better earnings visibility and discounted valuation of 24x FY2016E earnings to some of the other large-cap FMCG stocks. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised price target of Rs387 (valuing the stock 26x the FY2016E earnings). Key risk: Any significant drop in the sales volume of the cigarette business and further drop in the revenues of the other FMCG businesses remain the key risks to our earning estimates.

The cigarette sales volume declined by about 2.5% under a sustained impact of price hikes in the portfolio. The cigarettes below 65mm size continued do well and currently contribute around 10-11% of ITCs cigarette sales volume. Going ahead, we expect the cigarette sales volume to remain under pressure, as the company is planning further price hikes in the cigarette portfolio (can be in the range of 6-8%) to mitigate the impact of the excise duty hike in the recently announced union budget for 2014-15. The price hikes would be undertaken in all the segments (including the below- 65mm cigarettes). Thus, we expect the cigarettes sales volume to decline by 3.5% in FY2015. However, the price hikes would help the revenues to grow in double digits and the profit before interest and tax (PBIT) margin to sustain at about 65%. Non-cigarette FMCG business: affected by general slowdown in FMCG categories Q1FY2015 was the second consecutive quarter of slowdown in the revenue growth of non-cigarette FMCG businessthe revenue growth of the business moderated to 11% during the quarter. Though the company managed to maintain the market share in Segment-wise margin performance Business PBIT (Rs cr) YoY Margins (%) Chg. in BPS Q1FY15 Q1FY14 % Q1FY15 Q1FY14 FMCG - cigarettes 2,721.8 2,241.7 21.4 64.8 63.4 142 FMCG others -15.6 -18.9 -17.6 -0.8 -1.1 28 Hotels -12.1 8.9 -235.2 -4.9 3.6 - Agri business 202.5 199.3 1.6 6.1 9.1 -296 Paperboard, paper and packaging 274.9 251.6 9.3 21.3 21.6 -30 Total 3,171.4 2,682.6 18.2 34.6 36.6 -195 most of the categories, but the general slowdown in most categories resulted in moderation in the revenue growth. Biscuit, snacks, noodles, personal care products and matchsticks are not growing in line with some of the earlier quarters. We believe ITCs revenue growth would get back on track once the inflationary pressures ease out and consumer sentiment improves. The company has maintained its thrust on continuous addition of new products in the portfolio (especially in foods and personal care portfolio). The company posted a PBIT loss of about Rs16 crore during the quarter mainly on account of moderation in the revenue growth and sustained higher spending on brand building and promotional activities in some of the key categories. We should monitor the profitability of this segment on quarter-on-quarter basis and expect it to improve with an improvement in the revenue growth and the revenue mix. Agriculture business: revenues grew by 50%, but margin disappointed The agriculture business revenues grew by 51% YoY to Rs3,296.1 crore, driven by trading opportunities in wheat, soya and coffee. However, the tobacco sales, which form a large chunk of the revenue pie, didnt grow in line with the other commodities. The PBIT margin of the segment declined by almost 300BPS YoY to 6.1%, largely on account of higher sales of low-margin commodities. Hotel business: a muted performance The first quarter of a fiscal is normally dull for hotel business in India. ITCs revenues from the hotel business stood flat at Rs249 crore during the quarter. The business registered a PBIT loss of Rs12.0 crore due to incremental depreciation charge (of Rs14.3 crore) on account of a revision in the useful life of fixed assets, in accordance with Companies Act, 2013. The company expects the second half of the fiscal to be much better for the business, as domestic corporate travel is expected to improve in the coming months. Going ahead, once could see an improvement of at least 100-200 basis points (BPS) in the occupancy rate with a marginal increase in the room rentals. 4 Sharekhan Home Next July 30, 2014 The construction activities of the new luxury properties in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and at the Classic Golf Resort near Gurgaon are progressing satisfactorily. The Gurgaon and Bengaluru hotels are expected to be operational in mid FY2015 (both the hotels will have a room inventory of around 100 rooms each). Paperboard, paper and packaging business: a better performance The revenues of the paperboards, paper & packaging business grew by 10.8% aided by higher capacity utilisation of recent investments. The PBIT margin of the business stood almost flat at 21.3%. Outlook and valuation The Q1FY2015 performance of ITC was largely a mixed bag. Going ahead, we expect the cigarette sales volume to remain under pressure as the company plans further price hikes to mitigate the impact of a sharp increase in the excise duty on cigarettes. However, we expect the cigarette business revenues to remain in the double digits while the PBIT margin is likely to sustain YoY. We believe a revival in the other fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) businesses depends on the overall improvement in the prospects for the FMCG sector. We have broadly maintained our earnings estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 and believe that the company is well poised to achieve an earnings compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% over the next two years. We continue to like ITC in view of its better earnings visibility and discounted valuation of 24x its FY2016E earnings compared with some of the other large-cap FMCG stocks. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised price target of Rs387 (valuing the stock at 26x the FY2016E earnings).

The operating profit grew by a strong 5.7% QoQ. Consequently, the margin expanded by 73BPS QoQ to 33.6%. The strong operational performance coupled with a lower interest cost resulted in a 15.3% sequential growth in the earnings. Adjusting for the exceptional loss for both the quarters, the adjusted earnings grew by 17.1% QoQ. Bhartis domestic wireless business was the star performer in its portfolio, with a 4% Q-o-Q revenue growth (led by a 2.5% Q-o-Q growth in voice realisation and a 2.3% Q-o-Q growth in traffic) and a staggering 200-BPS margin expansion. The wireless business margin at 36.9% is the highest in several quarters (the last time the company had seen a margin of 36.4% was in Q4FY2010). On the other hand, the African business continued to disappoint on both the revenue (down 1.1% QoQ) and the margin front (a sequential contraction of 100BPS; at 24.2% it was a multi-quarter low margin). The management continued to place confidence in the improving competitive landscape of the domestic wireless industry. Hence going forward, it expects an improvement in the realised rates and consequently in the margins. Taking cognisance of the strong margin improvement witnessed in the wireless business in Q1FY2015 and the positive outlook for the Indian business, we have raised our EBITDA estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 by 2.7% and 3.8% respectively. Accordingly, we raise our price target from Rs370 to Rs400. We maintain our Hold rating on the stock though.

Owing to the local currencys appreciation against the dollar, the income from the international businesses, ie the African and South Asian businesses, declined by 1.1% and 2.6% quarter on quarter (QoQ) respectively. The strong performance of the Indian mobile business came on the back of an improvement in both the realisation (up 3.5% QoQ) and the volume (up 2.3% QoQ) along with a growth in the data business. Operating profit expands 5.7% QoQ; Indian mobile business shines with 200-BPS margin expansion: The consolidated operating profit for the quarter grew by strong 5.7% QoQ and 19% year on year (YoY). Consequently, the operating profit margin (OPM) expanded by 73 basis points (BPS) QoQ. This strong margin expansion was led by a margin (which witnessed a very sharp margin expansion of 200BPS from 34.9% in Q4FY2014 to 36.9% in Q1FY2015). Also, the Airtel Digital business showed a substantial margin improvement (up 650BPS QoQ). The African business margin stood at 24.2% during the quarter (a contraction of 100BPS QoQ),and was the lowest margin reported in 14 quarters. Reported earnings include exceptional losses; adjusted earnings surpass expectations: The reported earnings grew by 15.3% on a sequential basis to Rs1,108.5 crore and also included an exceptional loss on account of a charge related to various disputes and a tax related provision. Adjusting for the same, the earnings grew by 17.1% on a sequential basis. Marked improvement in the balance sheet and gearing: The consolidated net debt stood at $9.6 billion while the net debt-to-earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisaiton (EBITDA) improved from 2.2x in Q4FY2014 to 2.04x in Q1FY2015. Indian business performance Indian mobile business; spectacular show on all fronts: The mobile business witnessed a spectacular 4% sequential revenue growth; aided by volume as well as realisation growth in the mainstay voice business along with a strong data surge. The voice traffic grew by 2.3% on a sequential basis on the back of a strong 3.8% sequential growth reported in Q4FY2014. For the quarter the company carried 271 billion minutes on its network. The voice realisation also witnessed a sharp 2.5% sequential growth from 37.2 paise per minute in Q4FY2014 to 38.1 paise in Q1FY2015, signifying the easing of competition for the telecommunications (telecom) players (the same was evident from Idea Cellulars Q1FY2015 results). The surge in data traffic and revenues continued, with,the overall data volume growing by 17% QoQ and by 96% year on year (YoY). Though the data realisation for the quarter came 2% lower compared with Q4FY2014. Non-mobile business; DTH and tower businesses shine: On the non-mobile business, Airtel Digitals revenues grew by 9.2% QoQ led by a strong growth in the net additions (Bharti added 3.8 lakh subscribers in Q1FY2015) and a 5.4% sequential growth in the average revenue per user (ARPU). The margins for the segment expanded by 650BPS QoQ to 24.3% in Q1FY2015 from 17.8% in Q4FY2015. This is the highest margin reported by the segment so far. Also, the tower business reported a 2.1% sequential growth in its revenues. The other businessesenterprise business and telemedia businessposted a lacklustre performance. African business performance Revenue growth at modest 1.7% on constant- currency front: The revenues of the African business declined by 1.1% QoQ in rupee terms; on a constant- currency basis, the growth was modest at 1.7% QoQ. The entire constant-currency growth for the African business was on account of a growth in data revenues and volumes. The data realisation grew at 8% QoQ while the volume grew at 7% QoQ. Higher operational expenses dragged margins to a multi-quarter low of 24.2%: A subdued revenue performance coupled with higher operational expenses (network operating cost, and sales and administrative expenses) weighed on the margin performance and the African margin came at a multi-quarter low of 24.2% for Q1FY2015. Consequently, the EBITDA declined 2% QoQ. Bhartis African EBITDA has been trending in the range of $280-300 million for ten quarters now.

This will thus keep the headroom for growth. Strong growth in data to be complemented by spectrum: It echoed the stance of the other telecom companies with respect to data growth and expects data share and its growth to continue to increase. But it also mentioned that the growth momentum needs to be complemented with spectrum and that it would be keen to acquire spectrum in the upcoming auctions. African business saw strong data led growth: On the African front, it has now acquired 3G licences in all the 17 countries and has 3G presence in 15 countries. Bharti expects to roll out 3G services in the remaining two countries in the ensuing quarter. The management sounded very positive on the data growth potential in the African market and expects around 16-20% sequential growth. In line with Helios deal, looking at African tower sale: In line with the recent divestment of 3,100 African towers to Helios, the management is also looking to enter into similar tower divestment deals for the remaining 12,000-13,000 towers and guided that these deals would be incremental profit before tax (PBT) neutral to positive. Capex guidance maintained at $2-2.4 billion: On the capital expenditure (capex) front, it guided for a consolidated capex in the range of $2.0-2.4 billion including $800 million towards the African business. The capex guidance excludes any spectrum related pay-outs. Tax guidance: For the Indian business, the management guided for a 28-29% effective tax rate while it continues to be challenging to provide any guidance for the African business owing to the differences in the law and a mix of loss- and profit- making countries. Reporting changes: For the quarter, there were a couple of reporting changes including: (a) reclassification of financing loan of the Dutch subsidiary from the African business towards the Indian business; and (b) changes in data subscriber reporting (as per the new definition, a subscriber using > 1 megabyte of data in the immediate 30 days would be classified as data subscriber as against the earlier definition of a customer using > 0 kilobyte of data in the preceding 30 days).

On the flip side, the construction business (down 23% YoY), and a surge in the interest expenses (after commissioning of the Jaipur-Deoli project) and depreciation (amortisation of premium deferment of two projects) limited the net profit growth. The companys order book stands at Rs11,348 crore (including projects worth Rs5,500 crore bagged recently) providing visibility of the revenues of the construction business over next three to four years. The tariff revision in some projects from April 1, 2014 and September 1, 2014 along with an improvement in the traffic is expected to drive the BOT revenues. IRB is well funded to meet the Rs2,041 crore equity requirement over the next three years with internal accruals. The improving macro environment (better visibility of tendering, potential easing of interest rates etc) and a potential upside from a better than expected growth in traffic on the back of an economic revival are the key re-rating triggers for the stock. Thus, we continue to like IRB, which could offer handsome gains over the next 12-18 months. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs300.

The build-operate-transfer (BOT) segment reported a 53.9% Y-o-Y growth in the revenues. The construction segment reported a decline on account of the completion of the Tumkur-Chitradurga project during Q2FY2014. The operating profit margin (OPM) expanded by 1,166 basis points (BPS) YoY to 55.7% on account of a higher contribution from the BOT segment. Subsequently, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 23.7% YoY. During the quarter, the interest expense grew by 30.5% YoY on account of the inclusion of the Jaipur- Deoli and Talegaon-Amravati projects. Depreciation for the quarter rose 45% YoY on account of amoritsation of premium deferments for two projects (total Rs32 crore for the Ahmedabad-Vadodara and Tumkur- Chitradurga projects. However, a lower effective tax rate led the consolidated net profit to grow at 11.8% to Rs150 crore. Construction segment reports decline in revenues, as expected: The revenues from the construction vertical declined by 22.8% YoY to Rs583 crore on account of the completion of the Tumkur-Chitradurga project during Q2FY2014. The construction revenues came mainly from the Ahmedabad-Vadodara project (Rs450 crore) and the Goa-Kundapur project (Rs125 crore). Further, the quarter also witnessed a stable or range-bound movement in the raw material prices as a result of which the margin expanded to 30.5% in Q1FY2015 from 28.6% in Q1FY2014. BOT division posts stellar performance: The BOT division registered a robust performance with the revenues rising by 53.9% YoY to Rs427 crore. The growth was largely led by the toll revenues in the Mumbai- Pune, Pune-Solapur, Ahmedabad-Vadodara, Surat- Bharuch, Surat-Dahisar, Omallur-Namakkal and Tumkur- Chitradurga projects, which grew by 9-25% each YoY during Q1FY2015. At the operating level, the segment witnessed an increase of about 387BPS YoY in the margin to 90.1% on account of lower operating and maintenance costs for the recently completed BOT projects. Overall, the traffic growth across projects was 4-5% YoY. Maintain Buy with revised price target of Rs300: IRB is well funded to meet the Rs2,041 crore equity requirement over the next three years with internal accruals. The improving macro environment (better visibility of tendering, potential easing of interest rates etc) and a potential upside from a better than expected growth in traffic on the back of an economic revival are the key re-rating triggers for the stock. Thus, we continue to like IRB, which could offer handsome gains over the next 12-18 months. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a revised price target of Rs300 (which factors in the higher than expected growth in the BOT toll revenues from a few projects). Strong order book at Rs11,348 crore provides revenue visibility over the next three to four years At the end of Q1FY2014, the company reported an order book of Rs11,348 crore, which provides a good revenue visibility for the next three to four years. The company recently bagged two projectsYedeshi-Aurangabad and Kaithal-Rajasthan, aggregating Rs5,500 crorewhich are expected to start contributing towards the construction income from Q3FY2015 onwards. The Solpapur-Yedeshi project is likely to contribute from H2FY2015 onwards. Consequently, the company expects to the construction income to grow at 10% YoY in FY2015.

The revenue growth was mainly driven by a strong growth in stabilisers, digital UPS systems and house wiring cables. The two key positives of the results are: one, the company continued to ramp up its non-south business, which grew at 31% and made the highest contribution ever to the total sales at 35% in Q1FY2015; and two, improving working capital efficiencies led to free cash generation of Rs33 crore from operations and helped reduce the borrowings by Rs26 crore. The management sounded positive on the growth outlook and maintained its guidance for FY2015 (a 20% revenue growth and an EBITDA margin of 8-9% for FY2015). Given the traction in the non-south markets and improving cash flows (resulting in better return ratios), we see continued scope for the re-rating of V-Guards valuation multiples. Consequently, we roll over our price target to the average of FY2016 and FY2017 earnings estimates. Our revised price target stands at Rs855.

The healthy growth can be attributed to a 17% year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth in both electrical & electro mechanical (EEM) and electronics segments. The growth in the electronics segment, which contributed 41% to the top line, was mainly due to a higher growth in the digital uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system and stabiliser segments due to an extended summer season. However, the UPS segment remained a laggard. On the other hand, the EEM segment grew primarily driven by traction in fans, electric water heaters and housing wire cables during the quarter. It is noteworthy that the housing wire cable segment recorded a 20% Y-o-Y growth despite a high base in Q1FY2014. However, pumps and LT cables registered a decline YoY. Sequentially too, the top line grew by 13% due to a recovery in the digital UPS and stabiliser sales.

The share of revenues from the non-south market touched 35%, which is the highest in the history of the company. The management of the company is focused on having a much larger share from the non-south market in the coming years.

The Y-o-Y improvement in the margin was mainly due to traction in its better-margin products like cables, kitchen appliances, solar water heaters and inverters. During the conference call the management highlighted that the fan division, which was struggling in the past, turned EBITDA positive during the quarter. However, one of the new products, mixer grinder, continues to be EBITDA negative till date. The advertising expenses-to-sales ratio stood at 4.6% in Q1FY2015 vs 5.3% in Q1FY2014. Moreover, the gross profit margin (GPM) also improved by 20BPS YoY and by 148BPS sequentially during Q1FY2015. Consequently, the operating profit grew by 31% YoY and 14% QoQ to Rs40.4 crore in Q1FY2105. Strong growth in bottom line was a reflection of im- proved operational performance The adjusted profit after tax (PAT) of V-Guard saw a strong growth of 26% YoY to Rs22.3 crore. This was largely in line with our and the Streets estimates for Q1FY2015. The strong growth in the bottom line was a reflection of a healthy operational performance and a lower interest outgo during the quarter. Hence, despite a lower other income, a higher depreciation charge and a higher tax rate (30.5% in Q1FY2015 vs 25.5% in Q1FY2014), the net profit recorded a healthy growth of 26% YoY and of 9% QoQ. investors eye stock update 13 Sharekhan Home Next July 30, 2014 Improved working capital led to healthy return ratios During Q1FY2015, V-Guard managed well its working capital; the net working capital days were managed at 70 days (67 days in Q1FY2014 and 76 days in Q4FY2014). The management continues to focus on reduction of the net working capital days and targets reducing the cash conversion cycle by five days every year through initiatives like vendor financing and bill discounting. As a result of a better operating profit and well managed working capital, V-Guard managed to generate cash flow to the tune of Rs33.3 crore from operations out of which Rs26 crore was utilised for reducing debt. Thus, the debt-to-equity ratio came down to 0.2x at the end of Q1FY2015 from 0.3x at the end of FY2014 and 0.4x at the end of Q1FY2014. Consequently, the balance sheet got healthier with a lower debt-to-equity ratio and a nominal growth in the capital employed. The company managed to deliver healthy return ratios (return on equity [RoE] and return on capital employed [RoCE] of 22% and 28% respectively). Conference call highlights 1. The management maintained its guidance of a 20% top line growth in FY2015, backed by a 9-10% growth in the south market and a 35-40% growth in the non-south market. It also maintained the margin guidance (at 8- 9% in FY2015) as it expects operating leverage to kick in especially with increase in scale in the non-south stores. From a longer-term perspective, the management expects the margin to be around 10%, which would be a result of better acceptability of products in the non-south market that will give pricing power and natural operating leverage. 2. V-Guard plans to spend Rs20 crore as a capital expenditure (capex) and expects to generate healthy cash flow of Rs80-90 crore from operations (vs Rs110 crore in FY2014) with stringent working capital management in FY2015. The management also aims to reduce the working capital days by five days next year. It expects the debt level to remain broadly in the range of Rs150-160 crore. 3. The management plans to keep the advertisement spending in the range of 3.5-4.0% of the sales in FY2015. With the reduction in tax exemption at certain plants, it expects the effective tax rate to remain at 30% level in the coming years. View and valuation: The management sounded positive on the growth outlook and maintained its guidance for FY2015. We retain our estimate but believe that V-Guards valuation multiples would be supported by an improving growth outlook, higher free cash flows (better working capital management) and firming return ratios. Hence, we revise our price target to Rs855, based on 22x the average earnings of FY2016 and FY2017. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock.

The international business revenues grew by 14% during the quarter. The key Indonesian and African businesses grew at 10% and 17% respectively during the quarter. The domestic business OPM declined by 90BPS YoY to 15.0% while the international business OPM improved by 52BPS to 10.5%. Thus, the overall OPM declined by 26BPS to 12.8% during the quarter. The operating profit grew by 7.3% YoY and the adjusted PAT grew by 12.1% YoY during the quarter. GCPLs management has hinted that some of the benefits of a reduction in the customs duty on some of key inputs into soaps may be passed on to the consumers which would lead to a better performance of the domestic soap segment in the coming quarter. The company is hoping to see a better performance from the HI segment in the coming quarters as the penetration level is still low for the category. It has taken many cost-saving initiatives and expects to reap the benefits of the same from H2FY2015. We believe it will take two to three quarters for GCPLs revenue growth to return to high teens. We have downgraded our earnings estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 by 3% and 5% respectively to factor in the lower growth in the domestic soap and HI business. Accordingly, we have revised our price target to Rs810 (valuing the stock at 25x FY2016E earnings). In view of the stocks stretched valuations and the growth head winds GCPL is facing in the near term, we downgrade our rating on the stock from Hold to Reduce. Key risk: Any significant improvement in the revenue growth of the domestic business or margin of the international business is a key risk to our rating.

The hair colour business grew by 14% during the quarter. The gross profit margin (GPM) improved by 50 basis points (BPS) year on year (YoY) to 52.7%. However, the operating profit margin (OPM) declined by 90BPS largely on account of a lower revenue growth and higher trade marketing investments. Though the operating profit stood flat, but a higher other income led to an 11% growth in the profit after tax (PAT) to Rs114.1 crore.

While the sales volume declined and grew in mid single digits, the revenues grew by just 2% due to the price hikes undertaken in the portfolio. The management has indicated that soaps of the popular category are facing a slowdown while the soaps of the premium category are doing well. The sales of Godrej No.1 remained under pressure during the quarter. The company will pass on the benefits of a cut in the import duty on some of the key inputs into soaps to the consumers in the form of promotional add-ons and offerings. This should help the company to see better sales volume in the quarters ahead. The company has started seeing some improvement in sales from late June this year, but it expects a strong revival in sales on the back of a strong improvement in the macro environment. HIrevenue growth moderated to high single digits: The domestic HI business revenue growth moderated to 9% in Q1FY2015 from 17% in Q4FY2014. The moderation can be attributed to a delayed monsoon and a drop in the overall category growth. However, GCPLs HI sales growth stood two times higher than the category growth rate. The management has indicated the segment has enough room to grow in strong double digits, as the category penetration is very low in India. Also, innovative value-added products are gaining good acceptance. So overall, the company is expecting the segments growth to improve in the coming quarters. Hair colour businesscontinues to post a double- digit growth: The hair colour business continued its strong performance with a double-digit revenue growth (largely driven by higher volumes). The hair colour crmes category continues to grow its market share. The company launched two premium variants of Godrej Expert Rich Crme hair colour shades (cinnamon red, honey brown) at a 15% premium to the base price.

The earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation (EBIDTA) margin of the business too stood flat while adjusting for the food business that was hived off the same improved by 120BPS YoY. After the results of the presidential election in the country and a stabilising political environment, GCPL expects a better revenue growth in its Indonesian business going ahead. Also, the EBIDTA margin of the Indonesian business is expected to improve sequentially on the back of calibrated price increases and cost- saving initiatives. Africamargins improved YoY: The African business revenues grew by 17% (up 12% on a constant-currency basis) driven by a strong performance of the Darling business and an improvement in the performance of Rapidol in South Africa. The African business margin improved by 100BPS in Q1FY2015 and the company expects it to improve in the coming quarters. The company has hinted at the consolidation of the Darling business to 100% (current 65%) over the next two to 17 Sharekhan Home Next July 30, 2014 three years which would add another Rs300-350 crore to the revenues of the African business. The company is banking on low-penetrated HI segment for growth in Africa, as it expects the segment to be a key revenue driver in the long run. Latam businessaffected by depreciation in Argentine Peso: GCPLs Latin American (Latam) business was affected by depreciation in the Argentine Peso against the rupee. On a constant-currency basis, the revenues of the business grew by 26% led by a healthy market share performance. The Latam business margin stood lower at 4% largely on account of higher marketing investments. However, the company is banking on Project Iceberg, which will focus on streamlining the manufacturing process and rationalising the sales structure, to help the business clock better margins in the long run. The OPM is expected to expand over the next 12 to 24 months. UK businessstrong revenue performance: The revenues of GCPLs UK business grew by a strong 42% (driven by a 21% organic revenue growth). The strong growth can be attributed to competitive market investments and distribution initiatives. The brand Soft & Gentle continued to deliver a strong performance. Outlook and valuation GCPLs management has hinted at passing on to the consumer some of the benefits of a reduction in the customs duty on some of key inputs into soaps which would lead to a better performance of the domestic soap segment in the coming quarter. The HI business was affected by a delayed monsoon and a slowdown in the category in Q1FY2015. The company is hoping to see a better performance from the segment in the coming quarters as the penetration level is still low for the category. Also, the company is focusing on improving the supply and distribution system. It has taken many cost- saving initiatives and expects to reap the benefits of the same from H2FY2015 onwards. Though the management has taken initiatives to improve the growth prospects, but we believe it will take two to three quarters for GCPLs revenue growth to return to high teens. We have downgraded our earnings estimates for FY2015 and FY2016 by 3% and 5% respectively to factor in the lower growth in the domestic soap and HI businesses. In line with our revision in the earnings estimates, our revised price target stands at Rs810 (values the stock at 25x the FY2016E earnings). In view of the stocks stretched valuations and the growth head winds faced by the company in the near term, we downgrade our rating on the stock from Hold to Reduce.

Consequently, the banks net profit declined by 16% YoY to Rs805.7 crore. Fresh NPA additions remained elevated during the quarter (at Rs3,777 crore) which was partly offset by improved recoveries and upgradations. Though the management expects NPAs worth Rs900 crore to get resolved in Q2FY2015, but the higher slippages remain a concern. The banks earnings growth was better in Q1FY2015, though higher slippages and restructuring, and a lower capital adequacy ratio were a cause for concern. However, the stock trades at 0.6x FY2016E book value (at about a 30% discount to peers like Bank of Baroda and Punjab National Bank) and partly factors in the negatives. We have revised our valuation multiple to 0.7x FY2016E which has resulted in a new price target of Rs334. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

However, the overseas NIM increased (up 28BPS QoQ) due to a decline in the proportion of buyers credit (about 30% of the overseas book vs about 50% earlier), which have a lower yield. The income reversal on the non-performing assets (NPAs) coupled with higher lending in low-yielding corporate loans led to a decline in the yield on the domestic loans (down 32BPS QoQ to 10.92%). In addition, the rise in the cost of deposits (up 9BPS QoQ to 5.71% and a decline in the yield on investment also affected the NIM). NIM 2.0% 2.2% 2.4% 2.6% Q1FY13 Q1FY14 Q1FY15 Business growth continues to be ahead of industry rates Despite a weak environment the bank continues to grow its advances ahead of the industry rate (a growth of over 25% on an average in the past four quarters). The growth in the advances in Q1FY2015 was led by the large and mid corporate segment (up 29% YoY), followed by the agriculture segment (up 24% YoY). The bank expects the growth in the advances to moderate to 16-18% in FY2015. On the other hand, the deposits grew by 20.7% YoY contributed by term deposits (up 24.2% YoY). As a result, the current account and savings account (CASA) ratio declined by 130BPS QoQ to 27.7% which affected the margin.

Though the management suggested that Rs900 crore worth of slippages were technical in nature (ie the same are likely to get recovered), but the sheer rise in the quantum of slippages causes concern. The fresh restructuring during the quarter was Rs1,631 crore and the bank has approximately Rs600 crore of loans in the pipeline for restructuring. The provision coverage ratio was largely stable at 58.1%, though the bank provided Rs100 core towards floating provisions.

Overall, the non-interest income declined by 13.2% contributed by a lower treasury profit compared with Q1FY2014. The foreign exchange (forex) income also showed a healthy growth of 18% YoY. However, despite making an ad hoc provision of Rs80 crore towards wage revision, the operating expenses (opex) grew by 7.4%, which was slower than that of the peer banks.

The revenues grew by 30% YoY as a result of a 24% revision in the tariff and a 5% improvement in the volume. However, due to a significant jump (of 25% YoY to 769MUs) in the power purchased from outside (where the margin spread is lower), the OPM contracted by 206BPS YoY to 20.3%. The performance of its subsidiaries remained encouraging; the store-level EBITDA of Spencers remained at 4.6% (the same-store EBITDA at Rs74 per sq ft) in Q1FY2015, similar to the Q1FY2014 level. On the other hand, FirstSource Solutions is on a strong traction and addressing the scheduled debt repayment. The Quest mall is fully operational now and witnessing strong footfalls. The Haldia-based power plant of 600MW is expected to be commissioned by Q4FY2015; it would supply to CESCs existing Kolkata distribution business. Consequently, the regulated (cash generating) power generating business of CESC group would grow significantly. However, pain at the Chandrapur (600MW) plant continues for the time being, as after signing 100MW of PPA with TANGEDCO, the management is still looking for opportunities to sign long-term power supply contracts for the remaining capacities. We believe the commissioning of the Haldia power plant will enhance the existing base of the cash generating regulated power business. The focus of the new government on addressing the coal linkage issues of power plants that are ready should also turn positive for the Chandrapur power plant in future. Further, we are positive on the gradual progress of its other subsidiaries. The stock is trading at 1x FY2016E BV currently. We retain our positive stance and continue to rate CESC as a Buy with a price target of Rs878.

The profit after tax (PAT) grew by 15% year on year (YoY) to Rs151 crore, backed by a 30% top line growth and a healthy operating profit margin (OPM) of 20.3% (slightly lower YoY). The revenues grew by 30% YoY to Rs1,848 crore, which was mainly driven by a higher tariff (up 24% YoY) and a 5% growth in the volume in Q1FY2015. The sales volume was up by 5% while power generation remained flat; implying a significant jump (up 25% to 769MUs) in the power purchased from outside. OPM lower on higher power purchase but PAT up 15% The operating profit of the company grew by 18% YoY to Rs378 crore, despite a revenue growth of 30%, due to significantly higher quantum of power purchased from outside. The OPM stood at 20.3%, which was slightly lower than our estimate. The profit before tax (PBT) recorded a growth of 20% YoY but due to a higher tax rate (24% vs 21% in Q1FY2014), the PAT reported a growth of 15% YoY to Rs151 crore in Q1FY2015. The sequential numbers are not comparable as the Q4FY2014 numbers were influenced by a pending tariff revision. Performance of subsidiaries Spencersstore-level profitability flat while same-store sales grew at 10%: The retail arm of CESC, Spencers, managed to notch a same-store sales growth of around 10% YoY. The store level earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) remained around 4.6% in Q1FY2015, similar to the level seen in Q1FY2014. At the end of Q1FY2015, the total trading area of Spencers was 1,062,000 sq ft spread across 126 stores (there was an addition of one retail store in the quarter). The company aims to add 12-15 new hyper stores in FY2014- 15 in the existing five regions on which it intends to focus. Going forward, the company aims to break even at the corporate level which would be one of the key monitorables. Quest mall and Haldia plant to add value, while pain at Chandrapur remains: The Quest mall, under 100% subsidiary CESC Properties, is fully operational now and is witnessing strong footfalls. The Haldia-based power plant (600MW), which would be supplying to its own Kolkata region distribution business, is expected to be commissioned by Q4FY2015. With this, the regulated power capacity (cash generating) of CESC group would be significantly higher. However, pain at the Chandrapur (600MW) plant remains as after signing a power purchase agreement (PPA) with TANGEDCO for 100MW, the management is still looking for opportunities to sign long- term power supply contracts for the remaining capacities at Chandrapur. View and valuation: We remain positive on CESC due to a steady improvement in its retail and business process outsourcing subsidiaries which is in addition to the steady performance of the stand-alone entity. Further, with the commissioning of its Haldia plant, the cash generating regulated power business would expand significantly and add value to the stock. We retain our price target of Rs878 and continue to recommend CESC as a Buy.

The growth during the quarter was mainly driven by the US business (up 85% YoY) and the emerging markets (up 28% YoY). However, the growth in the other geographies remained moderate. The management plans to file over 40 ANDAs and expects 10-15 approvals in the US market during FY2015, which should drive the growth in the subsequent quarters. Also, the growth will accelerate in the domestic market as the impact of the new pricing policy is getting settled. We have marginally curtailed the earnings estimate for FY2015 due to a moderate performance of the Indian business in Q1FY2015, but have revised our earnings estimate for FY2016 up by 8.5% in anticipation of a large chunk of US approvals in this year. Accordingly, our price target stands revised up by 8.5% to Rs1,300 (17x FY2016E EPS). However, owing to a limited upside to the stock price post- results rally, we downgrade our rating on the stock to Hold.

The company accelerated the paced of filings with 26 abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) filings during the quarter against the targeted 40 ANDAs for the year (FY2015). The company got the approval for one injectible product during the quarter. Till date, the company has got the approval for 91 ANDAs in the US market out of 249 ANDAs filed with the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) while it currently markets 64 products in the USA. With an accelerated pace of filing and focus on niche segments like transdermals, injectibles and other complex products, the company is set to maintain the high growth momentum in the US market. Indian market to see better traction going forward During the quarter, the company recorded a moderate 8% growth in the Indian formulation business to Rs675 crore. The growth was moderate primarily due to the impact of the new pricing policy and the re-organisation of the field force in the market. However, as most of the issues related to the pricing policy are getting fixed and the company is able to take a price hike in the key products, we expect a better performance from the domestic market in the subsequent quarter.

The company reported a 9% growth in the European business, a 4% growth in the Brazilian business, a 2% growth in the global animal healthcare business, a decline of 6.5% in the consumer business and a decline of 9.2% in the joint venture business during the quarter. Though we do not expect any phenomenal change in the business dynamics in most of these regions, but the company is expected to see a gradual improvement in the joint venture, consumer and European businesses over a period of time. Better product mix helps improve OPM; expect even better margin ahead The company reported an improvement of 219 basis points (BPS) in the operating profit margin (OPM) to 18.1% during the quarter (adjusted for the foreign exchange [forex] impact) on the back of strong sales in the US market. We expect the improvement in the OPM to continue in the subsequent quarters as well on the back of a stronger performance in the US and Indian markets. We expect an improvement of 300BPS and 100BPS in the margin in FY2015 and FY2016 respectively. 26 Sharekhan Home Next July 30, 2014 investors eye stock update Cost analysis Particulars Q1 Q1 YoY Q4 QoQ FY15 FY14 % FY14 % Adjusted material cost 816 568 43.7 764 6.7 % of sales 39.8 34.7 38.8 Employee expenses 290 263 10.4 274 6.1 % of sales 14.2 16.1 13.9 Other expenses 571 546 4.6 559 2.1 % of sales 27.9 33.3 28.3 Total 1677 1376 1597 5.0 Change in depreciation policy raises depreciation cost: During the quarter, the depreciation cost increased by 45% year on year (YoY) to Rs67.60, which included Rs18.38 crore additional provision arising out of the re-estimation of the useful life of certain assets. Adjusted net profit jumped by 50% to Rs254 crore: The company reported a 22.8% rise in the net profit to Rs240 crore during the quarter. However, adjusting for a forex gain of Rs6 crore, exceptional expenses of Rs1.18 crore and additional depreciation of Rs18.38 crore, the net profit jumped by 50% to Rs254 crore. R&D pipeline progressing well: One of the companys new chemical entities (NCEs), namely ZYDPLA1 (targeted at regulating blood sugar level), advanced to phase-I global clinical trial in the US market. Besides, it also completed the phase-II trials for one of its biosimilars based on monoclonal antibodies (MABs). The company is also in advanced stage of getting marketing authorisation in the regulated markets for one of its biosimilars that is already being marketed in India. Outlook remains strong The company is set to intensify the US filings and we expect a sizeable number of approvals coming through over the next two to three years. The companys pipeline for the US markets includes generic launches of some of blockbuster drugs like Abilify ($4 billion), Niaspan ($1.1 billion) and Lialda ($550 million), which are likely to lose their patent protection in FY2015. Besides, the company has got tentative approvals for Sirolimus (market size of $203 million) under the 180-day exclusivity and Asacol (litigation settled with innovator and to be launched in FY2016; potential revenues for Cadila at $40 million). Though the businesses in Brazil and Europe, and the joint ventures are unlikely to see any significant headway in the near term, but the domestic business and the business in the emerging markets will see a recovery in the subsequent quarters. We expect the revenues and profit to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% and 55% over FY2014-16 respectively. We revise price target up by 8% to Rs1,300 but downgrade the stock to Hold We have marginally lowered the earnings estimate for FY2015 due to a moderate performance of the Indian business in Q1. But we have revised up our earnings estimate for FY2016 by 8.5% in anticipation of a large chunk of US approvals in this year. Accordingly, our price target stands revised up by 8.5% to Rs1,300 (implies 17x FY2016E earnings per share [EPS]). However, owing to a limited upside to the stock price post-results rally, we downgrade our rating on the stock to Hold.

We had further re-emphasised our preference for the stock in the subsequent Viewpoint note (dated March 14, 2014) and again in May after the announcement of the companys Q4FY2014 results. Our prime investment thesis was a strong growth in the textile business coupled with the companys metamorphosis into a branded play (with several marquee brands), which were not getting reflected in the stocks valuations. The same has played off very well. Since the time we initiated our positive view the stock has appreciated by 62%. It has risen by 27% since our last update on the stock in May this year in which we had expressed confidence about the companys business model and the stocks performance. At the current level of Rs241 the stock has surpassed all our targets. Margin pressure expected ahead: Going forward, we expect the stocks performance to be capped in the short term owing to: (a) margin pressure expected in the textile segment; and (b) Megamarts restructuring will be a positive in the long term but may affect the financials in the short term. The Megamart business (value retailing in nature) is currently bleeding and for Q1FY2015 the same has reported a 3.4 % decline in its same-store sales. Recent run-up, possible margin risk in short term and aggressive valuation leave little scope; advise profit booking with 62% overall gain: We continue to believe that Arvind is a proxy play on the robust brand and retail story unfolding on the Indian shores as well as the significant opportunity in the textile export space where India is rapidly growing its presence and taking share from Bangladesh, Vietnam and the other markets. But given the strong appreciation in the stock price (up 62% in six months and up 27% in last three months) and the likely margin risk in the short term, we believe that in the short term the upside to the stock is capped (more so, given the recent run-up on account of the demerger). At the current valuation of 11x its FY2016E earnings, the stock is no longer cheap and hence we advise our clients to take home profits with a 62% overall gain.

A combination of factors (a) disruption of operations for woven owing to an expansion project, (b) higher power and cotton costs; and (c) losses relating to the Megamartrestricted the operating profit growth to merely 6.2% YoY. On the other hand, lower depreciation resulted in a 15.9% growth YoY in the adjusted earnings, though the reported earnings grew at 33.9% YoY. Value unlocking through demerger of infra subsidiary a positive: In an attempt to unlock value from the real estate business as well as to provide leg room for growth in the real estate business, the board decided to demerge Arvinds infrastructure subsidiary, Arvind Infrastructure, into a separate listed entity. The share swap ratio at 1:10 is fixed, whereby each shareholder holding ten shares in Arvind would get one share in Arvind Infrastructure. Arvind Infrastructure is a real estate company managing 11 projects in Ahmedabad and Bengaluru with a potential construction space of 5.3 million sq ft over 360 acres of land. The development business gets demerged from Arvind into a subsidary while the land parcel continues to stay in the books of the parent Arvind. We believe that the demerger is a positive for the company as it enables Arvind to focus on its core business while providing ample leg room for growth of the infrastructure development business.
