Set for a price surge

The country’s third-largest cable manufacturer is correcting missteps of the past. A strong brand, high
margins and excess cash give it the ammunition it needs. Current low valuations provide a good entry
point before its stock price surges up.
VIKAS VARDHAN • 08th June 2020
E lectrical wires is a simple business. Take some copper, cover it with plastic, sell it. Hundreds of
manufacturers do the same thing across the country. Finolex Cables beats just about everyone
in this industry. It takes away the highest margins in the industry, more than even its larger
competitors.
Finolex is no small company. It is the third-largest organised manufacturer of wires and cables in
the country. It is the largest in low-voltage wires that are used in homes to power appliances,
electronics and in of ces and commercial establishments. It is also the third-largest in optic bre
cable, an opportunity that holds immense potential as the government connects rural India to
high-speed internet and the upcoming 5G rollout.

Exposure to the real estate sector that has been in doldrums in recent years and missteps in its
fast-moving electric goods (fans, lights and switches), saw Finolex trail behind ruthless
competitors that outspent it on ads and distribution. Read more on Why Finolex lost the market's
favour in the last four years.
The management now wants to correct those missteps - spending more on brand promotion and
reaching a greater number of retailers. The cash-bleeding electric goods business is looking to
breakeven this year. Meanwhile, valuations are still less than half of its 10-year average. All these
factors coming together make Finolex an attractive bet you should not miss.
What do we like about the company?

Market leader. Finolex is the market leader in the low-voltage wires with a market share of 20 per
cent. It is the third-largest in optic bre cables with a share of 13 per cent.
Premium quality, premium margin. Finolex is obsessed with premium quality. That quality has
allowed it to charge a premium for its wires and take in industry-leading margins.
Strong balance sheet. A stream of free cash ows over the years has enabled it to build a strong
balance sheet with zero debt with cash and equivalents close to Rs. 1300 crore - that’s one-third of
its current market cap.
Why should you invest now?

Getting its mojo back. Finolex has initiated a number of measures aimed to get its mojo back.
These include increasing ad spends and its distribution reach.
Electric goods looking to breakeven. When it does, the cash drain will stop and earnings will
start coming in. The management has guided more than 50 per cent growth in electric goods this
year.
Attractive valuations. Finolex trades at nine times earnings. That’s 45 per cent lower than its 10-
year median valuation of 20 times.
What is so good about the company?

Market leader in low-voltage wires. Low-voltage wires (1.1 KV and below) form a large part of
wire demand. These are used in homes to run electrical appliances, in of ces, commercial and
industrial establishments and in automobiles. Finolex is the market leader in low voltage wires
with a share of 20 per cent in the organised segment.
A determined focus on quality. The superior quality of its wires has allowed it to charge a
premium for its products, thus earning industry-leading margins of 17 per cent.
Backward integration. It sources the PVC used to cover the copper wire from group company,
Finolex Industries, that is in turn, the largest PVC manufacturer in the country. It also
manufactures and sells copper rods it uses in its wires. Thus, supply of major raw materials is
taken care of.
How big can it become?

Shift to organised players
The market for wires and cables is estimated at Rs. 45,000-50,000 crore, of which half belongs to
the organised sector. Increasing technological complexity, higher spending in brand investments
by a smaller number of pan-India majors and preference for higher-quality branded wires is taking
the market away from smaller, unorganised rms. Finolex, known for its high-quality wires and
being the third-largest player is likely to be a prime bene ciary of this shift.
Opportunities in wires and cables (83 per cent of revenues).
Finolex makes wires for a number of industries. These include real estate and construction (60 per
cent of sales), while power, industrial, agricultural and automobile sectors account for 10 per cent
each. Led by the growth in infrastructure, power and construction, the industry is growing by 15
per cent CAGR. Read more on the opportunities for wires and cables industry in the next couple of
years.
Opportunities in communication cables (14 per cent of the revenue).
With increasing demand for high-speed internet, communication cables have evolved from the
earlier-used jelly lled telephone cables to the higher speed optic bre. Finolex is the third-largest
optic bre cable manufacturer in the country. Its joint venture with Corning USA, inventor of optic
bre cable, gives it a technological advantage.
The government has allocated Rs. 6000 crore to connect one lakh gram panchayats. The National
Digital Communications Policy aims to provide broadband to every citizen with 50 Mbps speed
and xed-line broadband access to 50 per cent of households. Then there is the proposed 5G
rollout. All these projects and programmes will need optic bre that only major suppliers like
Finolex can provide.
Opportunities in fast-moving electrical goods (three per cent of TTM revenues).

Finolex entered the fast-moving electrical goods segment in 2016 with products like fans, CFLs
and switches. Four years going, it has not made any money in this business owing to two primary
missteps.
First, it used only its existing distribution network of 30,000 retailers. This was grossly
insuf cient. Competitors like Havells and Polycab have a distribution strength ve times stronger.
Second, it stuck to conventional strategy of lower ad spends. While that worked in wires, it
bombed in goods, especially when competitors Havells and Polycab spent four per cent and 1.5 per
cent of their respective revenue on advertising. Finolex spent less than one per cent.
Wizened from these missteps, the management is looking to take it's reach to 125,000 retailers by
the end of the year, bringing its distribution strength closer to larger competitors. It is also
spending more on advertising.
With the electric goods now looking to breakeven this year, this business is looking up for the rst
time in years. The management has guided revenue of Rs. 150 crore from electric goods this year -
higher than the Rs. 125 crore business it needs to breakeven.
History and management
Finolex was formed in 1956 by Prahlad Chhabria and his younger brother, Kishan. The company
was named by tweaking the words ne and exible into Finolex Cables. Read more about the
founders’ story. The sons of the two brothers, Deepak Chhabria and Prakash Chhabria, are locked
in a court battle since 2011 for control of Finolex Cables. The ongoing battle however, has not
impacted the business.
Ef ciency
Around 70 per cent of its business is on a cash and carry basis (customers pay cash upfront). This
has kept its working capital requirement lowest among peers. It generated Rs. 1100 crore in free
cash in the last ve years. This excess cash today accounts for 45 per cent of its net worth. Return
on capital averaged at 23 per cent per annum in this time.
Concerns
Continued slowdown in real estate. With around 60 per cent of revenue coming from real
estate, Finolex is vulnerable to the sector's fortune.
Slowdown in optic bre. Spends on 5G have taken a backseat in recent months as many telecom
companies battle liquidity and other issues. A prolonged delay could impact business. Also, close
to half of the company's optic bre business comes from the government. Any slowdown in
government orders could hit business as well.
Management feud intensifying. Any escalation of the management feud or an adverse outcome
in the court could impact the company.
Risk of copper price in ation. Copper accounts for over 50 per cent of sales. Any price in ation
in the commodity can impact margins.
Fall in optic bre prices. Following the trade war with the US, China slashed demand for optic
bre. This led to a global oversupply and consequently, a fall in price from $12 per km to less than
$5 per km. As a result, Finolex’s optic bre revenue contracted by 16 per cent in the last one year.
It is thus vulnerable to bre prices.
Valuation and outlook

At nine times earnings, Finolex trades 45 per cent lower than its 10-year median valuation. This is
the cheapest wire manufacturer you can buy. Since headwinds have already occurred, all negatives
are priced into the stock.
Finolex continues to throw off strong cash ows, earn high margins and return numbers and has
Rs. 1300 crore in cash. The management’s unrelenting focus on superior quality, its leadership
position in wires and cables and turning around of the electric goods business are likely to open a
new chapter in its history. Buy before its stock price surges up.

To sum up
Is it a solid business with able management and a great balance sheet?
Yes , Finolex Cables is one of the oldest cable manufacturers in the country. It has been one of
India’s biggest innovators since that time. The management has faced several structural problems
along the way, but they managed to overcome their challenges deftly. Finolex Cables has a strong
balance sheet with minimal debt and healthy cash reserves.
Does the company believe in taking care of the interests of all the stakeholders —
customers, employees, shareholders?
Yes , Finolex Cables has rewarded its equity holders with regular dividends in the last two
decades. The company is very well known for its CSR activities through its educational institutes
in various cities in Maharashtra.
Do you want to know more about this company? Are you willing to spend more time
digging out information about it?
Yes , Finolex Cables was built from scratch by very competent brothers, Pralhad and Kishan
Chhabria. They have led the company through the license raj and the intense competition of the
post license-raj era. Finolex Cables has continuously evolved itself to become a one-stop shop for
all kinds of electrical wires, ranging from the high voltage to optic bres and specialised
automobile cables. It would be interesting to see how it leverages its strong balance sheet and
brand to incubate the FMEG business, which is fast evolving in the country.

Finolex Cables - Headwinds and Tailwinds

Factors that will call for buying the stock and for selling it.
Tailwinds (When you would stay invested and consider buying more)
• Finolex continues the focus on pro tability and margins, and commands a high exposure to B2C
business.
• It is able to re ect its strong brand in the FMEG (electrical goods) segment too and is able to
scale it up to Rs 500 crore in the next three years.
• It is able to use the surplus cash for attractive acquisitions opportunities.

• Revival in the telecom sector and the auction of 5G spectrum, which will lead to demand for the
optic bre.
• Pick up in demand for the automobile sector.
Headwinds (When you should consider selling or cutting exposure)

• If the management feud, which has not impacted the business so far, gets ugly and starts
interfering in management decisions.
• If the recovery in the real estate sector takes more time than expected.

Finolex loses the market's favour in the last four years

The story on how Finolex conceded market share to more aggressive competitors while the electric
goods business lost money, leading to a de-rating of the stock
T he demonetisation of high-value currency in 2016 and implementation of GST and strict

regulations (RERA) saw the real estate sector face one of its toughest times in many years.
Construction activity has still not returned to pre-demonetisation levels. With half of its wire
revenues generated from this sector, Finolex was hit.
It was at this time that aggressive competitors like Havells and Polycab outspent it on ad spends
and distribution reach and launched price wars. Finolex did not participate in the price wars in a
bid to protect its margin and return ratios that have remained intact even today, but it had to
contend with a lower market share.
Then, it also had on its hand the fast moving electric goods business that was losing money. The
company failed to turn this business into black.
The markets didn't take too kindly to Finolex's misfortunes and de-rated the stock from a
valuation of 21 times (over the last three years), to nine times earnings.
A low valuation is not the only reason why you should look at Finolex. It has generated the highest
free cash ows in its industry post-demonetisation. Its return ratios are among the highest in the
industry and its management is correcting the mistakes made in electric goods in the past. Ad
spends and distribution reach are both slated to go up. Plus, the electric goods business is now
looking to breakeven this year.

The founders' story

How two migrant brothers set up Finolex after partition and their journey as they navigated
upheavals in the way
T he Finolex group was established by Prahlad and Kishan Chhabria. Their family had a
wholesale cloth business in Karachi in the pre-independence days. Following Partition and
the death of their father, the brothers settled in Pune.
In the early days, Prahlad Chhabria did odd jobs such as cleaning shops, preparing refreshments,
collecting money from businesses and even sold cloth as a street vendor. He later shifted to the
business of trading wires and electronic equipment between Mumbai and Pune. Given Prahlad’s
marketing skills and Kishan’s technical knowledge, this business became immensely successful,
even receiving orders from the Indian army. Most of the wires made in India at the time were
coated with rubber which used to break. The alternative was imported PVC-coated wires. Finolex,
then known as Indian Cable Industries, became the rst Indian company to manufacture PVC-
coated wires in 1958. It also established a presence in the automobile wire segment.
The company changed its name to Finolex in 1973. (It had previously established a brand in that
name.) It entered into partnerships with various foreign players to improve quality. It was listed in
1983 and soon afterwards became the rst Indian company to manufacture Jelly Filled Telephone
(JFT) wires used for telephone lines. It also began making PVC resins (its primary raw material),
along with PVC pipes and related products, establishing Finolex Industries in the mid-1990s.
Pralhad Chhabria died in May 2016 and the company passed into the hands of the second
generation. Currently, Prahlad’s son, Prakash Chhabria, is the Chairman of Finolex Industries and
his nephew Deepak Chhabria is Chairman of Finolex Cables.
How Finolex managed upheavals

In the late 1970s, the Government of India introduced the Copper Control Order to discourage the
use of copper, targeting solid copper wire of 18 gauge and above. Aluminium was encouraged as an
alternative. Finolex responded by making wires of very small diameter, which were bunched
together. This product effectively circumvented the order and became Finolex’s signature product.
Another challenge was the government quotas for the purchase of raw materials for PVC wires
(which forced the company to import them). This greatly hampered Finolex’s growth. Pralhad
Chhabria in his autobiography, 'There's No Such Thing as a Self-Made Man' wrote, “For a
businessman in my position, it was like being forced by the government to live in a small room
without suf cient light or air.”
In 1985, the company decided to manufacture its primary raw material (PVC resins) to address this
challenge. However, the cost of this project was Rs 150 crore at a time when its assets were only
worth Rs 3 crores. It managed to secure a loan of about Rs 200 crore from IDBI bank, along with a
license to manufacture the product. It also entered into partnerships with various French and
German companies to bene t from their technical expertise and got the project up and running.
This venture was successful and greatly bene ted the company in the long run.

Opportunities for the wires and cables industry in the next couple of
years
The various sectors Finolex supplies its wires and cables to and the opportunities in each
Power cables are expected to see demand move up as power transmission and distribution are
made more ef cient across the country. The government launched US$ 5 billion of transmission-
line tenders in June last year in phases to reach a 175 GW target by 2022. India’s power sector is
forecast to attract investment worth Rs 9-9.5 trillion (US$ 128.24- 135.37 billion) between FY19-
FY23 (Source: IBEF).
Housing wires are expected to gain as more houses are built to accommodate the country's
burgeoning population. As per IBEF estimates, the real estate sector in India is expected to reach
US$ 1 trillion by 2030. By 2025, it will contribute 13 per cent to the country’s GDP. Under the
Housing for All scheme, 60 million houses are to be built, which include 40 million in rural areas
and 20 million in urban areas by 2022.
Flexible cables are likely to see demand from the automobile industry and the railways. The
company has invested in newer technology to manufacture cables for solar power and automobiles
using the Electron Beam Technology. So far, the solar cables were made with a chemical process.
The new wires will have the insulation to withstand higher temperatures with minimal wear and
tear and makes the insulation more abrasion resistant.
Control and instrumentation cables are expected to gain as more industries automate and as
the railways shifts to more electric instrumentation and controls. Indian Railways plans to run 100
per cent on electricity by 2024 and become a net-zero emission network by 2030, which is about
125,000 km of track length and nearly 68,000 km of route length.
Opportunities in communication cables

Demand for optic bre has a long run ahead. The Bharat Net programme aims to connect 2.5 lakh
gram panchayats with a minimum of 100 Mbps bandwidth through optic bre. The object of the
programme is to enable rural India to access electronic governance, banking, commerce, learning,
and health services. Only around 44 per cent of the total 2.5 lakh gram panchayats have been
connected so far. In the 2020-21 Budget, the government proposed to allocate Rs. 6000 crore to
the programme and connect a further one lakh gram panchayats.
Then there is the National Digital Communications Policy that aims to provide broadband to every
citizen with 50 Mbps speed, xed line broadband access to 50 per cent of households, internet
connectivity to all uncovered areas and 10 million public Wi-Fi hotspots by 2022. The policy aims
to attract investments of around $100 billion.
These initiatives, coupled with an increasing use of smartphones, even in rural areas is expected
to increase internet penetration to 60 per cent of the country's households by FY 2023. All these
projects and programmes will need optic bre. Optic bre manufacturers stand to gain from this
transition.
