MACROECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING UNDERGARMENT SECTOR IN APPAREL INDUSTRY

The study has analyzed information from various reliable sources, and the impact of political,
technical, economic, social, legal, and environmental factors on the textile industry is as under.

Political factors

After the Introduction of FDI, foreign investors are setting up manufacturing facilities in India. Indian
Government has gradually eliminated many restrictions and has brought down import duties on
capital equipment, thus providing a global manufacturing platform to other companies.

Initiatives such as 'Make in India' and the promotion of "India Handloom" on social media have
increased the manufacture and consumption of high-quality handloom products.

Economic factors

Various economic factors such as per capita income, national income, resources mobilization, and
others influence the textile industry. With income rising in the rural economy as well as domestic
demand for the sector has increased. With the right innovations, the business's potential is
enormous both in the domestic and export sectors.

The textile industry is the largest industry in terms of the employment economy, expected to
generate 12 million new jobs by 2010.

Social factors

Factors like education, knowledge, norms, and beliefs shape up the industry. The textile industry
starts with cotton cultivation, and hence the social stratification has a vital role to play in the
industry.

Technological factors

One of the essential factors to shape the innovations and R&D in the industry is the Technological
factors impacting it. Sophisticated technology and technology transfers are imperative to be
competitive in the market. The technical textile industry depends on the latest technology and relies
on FDI and the reduced import cost on machinery.

Legal factors

India's legal business environment includes industrial licensing, factory administration, industrial
disputes, monopoly control, and foreign exchange regulations. Ease of Trade membership and
favorable labor laws are a few other factors required to drive the growth spur.

Environmental factors

To preserve ecological balance is one of the most crucial responsibilities of the textile industry. Steps
taken in this regard are like banning dyes such as Azo dyes and making it compulsory to recycle
industrial wastes and effluents.

second nature in a way that is engaging and inspiring. By adopting a sustainability culture, we strive
to support a healthy environment and improve the lives of others while continuing to operate

It’s Jockey’s mission to ingrain sustainability into everything that they do. Whether that be through
reductions in water usage in factories, to donating product to greater causes and developing fabrics
that have a gentler impact on the environment.

packaging they are supplied in, but also how the products are manufactured at its factories, the
materials that are used and the working conditions of the people that make them. Currently in 2019,
Speedo featured sustainable materials using a fabric created from ECONYL® yarn and REPET yarn.
These are innovative regenerated fibres which turn waste from fishing nets, manufacturing by-
products and plastic bottles into first grade nylon fabric. By 2020, 93% of Speedo’s water shorts will
be made from recycled fabrics as part of Speedo’s ongoing product commitment to sustainability
and the remaining 7% water shorts are produced from a fabric that uses an environmentally
friendly method of dying that results in less water, energy and chemicals. Speedo is committed to
providing high quality products to all its customers and also making products and packaging much
kinder to the environment.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS - FINANCIAL RATIOS


Liquidity Ratios

Current Ratio

Formula: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Measures the sufficiency of a firm’s funds provided by current assets, to meet demand from
current liabilities.

Observations:

-All three companies almost have the same current ratio’s and are better than the industrial average

- For Page Industries,the inventory contribution for the current assets is ~74% , which is over the
industrial avarage(44%).Adittionaly, the Accounts receivable is only around 13% well below the
industry average(33%).Therefore, Page Industries has been producing more than that it can sell and
stacking up in the inventory to increase the asset value & match the current ratio of its competitors.

-For Rupa & Co, their credit policy is assisting them to increase the accounts receivable more by 10%
than the industrial average(32%)therby, inflating the ratio.

Quick Ratio

Formula: Quick ratio = Cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable/current liabilities

Measures the firm’s ability to meet current obligations even if its inventory cannot be
sold immediately.

Observations:

-The ratio drop seen in Page industries is well evident from the fact of high inventories in their
current assets.

-This is well supported by the other ratios like of inventory turnaround time which is lower than the
industry average and Inventory holding period which is higher than the industrial average.

MANAC Assignment- IPMX 20-21

-Higher liquidity, like in the case of KPR mills, is a measure of poor profitability as their cash reserves
are unutilized. Moreover, the profits generate by KPR is less than Page industries.

Debt to Equity Ratio

Formula: D/E ratio = Total Liabilities/Total assets

It is the relation of borrowed funds to the ownership funds

Observations:

-Of the three companies KPR has the highest D/E ratio (attributed by long term debts ~510 crores)
while Page industries have the lowest (attributed by lower debts and higher profit margin.)

-The D/E ratio for all 3 companies is well below the industrial average. It is the indication that the
companies have lesser long term debts compared to shareholders equity.

-Lower D/E ratio also indicates high profits as the shareholders capital increase against the long term
debt.

-Low D/E indicate that the company is operating with shareholders equity than with debt equity.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Formula: DSCR ratio = Operating profits/Total debts

This is a ratio to ensure cash flow sufficient to cover loan payments is available on an ongoing basis.

Observations:

-The DSCR ratio for all three companies is the positive and well above the industrial average. This
indicates that the company’s operation can offset the loan payments and require no debt to carry on
the further operation.

-The high value of Rupa & Co. is due to the low debt.

Turnover Ratios
Asset turnover ratio:

Formula: Asset Turnover Ratio=Net Sales//Total Assets

Observations:

Asset turnover ratio is the ratio of the company’s sales to the value of its assets. It signifies the
efficiency with which the company is utilizing its assets to generate the revenue.

21 | A p p a r e l I n d u s t r y - U n d e r g a r m e n t S e c t o r
MANAC Assignment- IPMX 20-21

- The asset turnover ratio of Page Industries is highest among the three companies which clearly
indicates that Page Industries Ltd is utilizing its assets more efficiently to generate sales.

- The asset turnover ratios of KPR Mill Ltd. and Rupa & Co. are less than the industrial average which
clearly indicates that these two companies are not utilizing the assets properly and should consider
talking necessary steps to improve the asset utilization.

- Rupa & Co. need to focus on improving its asset utilization as ratio has been declining over the
years which clearly indicates that its sales are declining with respect to increase in assets.

Debtor’s turnover ratio and average collection period:

Formula: Debtor Turnover Ratio= Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables

Observations:

Debtors Turnover Ratio indicates the company’s effectiveness in collecting its trade receivables or
sales credits. It can also be interpreted as the company’s efficiency to convert credit sales into cash
and manage the credits issued to the customers.

-Page industries ltd. has the highest debtors turnover ratio of 29.81 which indicates that the
company is able to recover its sales credits from its clients successfully even during tough market
conditions.

-Page Industries Ltd has receivable turnover of 12 days which is way below any of its competitors
and industrial average.

-It can also be concluded that the Page Industry Ltd deals with a reliable client base and is able to
manage its funds well.

-It can also be observed that debtor’s turnover ratios of Rupa & Co. are below industrial average
which means that Rupa & Co. has to strategize its debt collection methods. Its receivable turnover is
approx. 4 months which is a problem.

-Although the debtors turnover ratio of KPR Mill Ltd. has declined over the years but it is still above

Inventory turnover ratio and inventory holding period

Formula: 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 = 𝐶𝑂𝐺𝑆

𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 = 𝐵𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 +𝐸𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦

Observations:

It is often expressed as number of days that indicates the Inventory holding period. It is an estimate
of the average length of time items spent in inventory

Inventory turnover ratio is the indication of how fast inventory items move through a business.

Inventory Holding periods (days) = Average Inventory / (COGS / 365 days)

 KPR mills is more efficient in handling its inventory with holding period much lesser than the
industry average. This is mostly because it is vertically integrated business and that makes its
goods fast moving and also allows for lesser inventory stock. However, KPR inventory holding
period has increased significantly in the last two years but still below the industry average.
 Page industry inventory holding period is slowly improving since 2016 and was below the
industry average in 2019 and 2020. This is because, with increase in revenues, its COGS is
growing and that too with a faster rate than its average inventory.
 Rupa & Co has much higher inventory holding period than the industry average and least
efficient of the three in handling inventory. It maintains very lower inventory levels (about 50%
of other two) compared to the COGS (about 1/3 rd of the other two)
 Overall, this ties up with the fact that Rupa needs to spend comparatively more (7% of gross
sales) on advertising to keep its inventory moving, whereas Page Industries spend moderately
(4% of gross sales) on advertising and KPR spends almost none on advertising as it is vertically
integrated.
 The inventory holding period for the industry as a whole is on a rise since 2017 and highest in
2020 due to higher inventory hold-up during the pandemic lockdown. Rupa seems to be the
worst hit of the three with highest hold-up inventory of the three.

Creditor’s turnover ratio and average payment period:

Formula: 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 = 𝑃𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝐶𝑂𝐺𝑆+𝐸𝑛𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦−𝐵𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐼𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦

Observations: 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒

The creditors’ turnover is a short-term liquidity measure used to quantify the rate at which a
company pays off its suppliers.

It is often times expressed as number of days it takes the company to pay its accounts payable.
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑃𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑑 (𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠) = 𝑝𝑢𝑟𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑒𝑠

365 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠

 Average payment period for KPR Mill and Page Industries is much lower than the industry
averages indicate that they pay off their suppliers / vendors much faster. Page Industries is
close following the same. This is because both maintain similar levels of Accounts payable and
the purchases during the year.
 Rupa on the other hand, takes more time over the Industry average to pay off its
suppliers/vendors (FY17 is an exception). Rupa maintain slightly higher Accounts payable about
10-12% that the other two but has significantly less purchases about 40% of the other two.
 Average payment period rose sharply in FY18 for all, most probably due to the macroeconomic
effect of GST implementation.

Profitability Ratios
Gross Profit Margin
Gross Profit Margin is the ratio of gross profit and total sales. It signifies how much a profit a
company is making after manufacturing and selling its final products plus clearing the inventories.

Industry Average 46.55% 36.47% 37.77% 40.47% 42.41%

Observations:
-Gross Profit Margins for Page industries have been consistent over the years but there has been a
considerable drop is the last couple of years due to Liquidity worries, demand slowdown, and
competition
-GP for KPR mills has been fluctuating. For the last 2 years the fall and drop has been attributed to -
a) 2018-19 FY the operating results were driven by volume growth in most of the Segments,
supported by the expanded activities the Garment saw good traction
b) 2019-20 FY due to stagnated exports of yarn to china and the tariff advantage enjoyed by
other competing companies, India’s share has fallen. It’s the Garment segment which has
helped sustain the growth.
-Rupa has been seeing robust GPM YOY, even with fluctuations in revenue
-These companies (Inner wear segment) have a Gross profit Margin equal to or above the industry
ideal value, as they are recognised brands and thus charge a premium for their products with equal
to or slightly more cost of goods than the majority of the companies in the textile industry.

Net Profit Margin


Formula: NPM = Net profit ⁄ Net Sales

25 | A p p a r e l I n d u s t r y - U n d e r g a r m e n t S e c t o r
MANAC Assignment- IPMX 20-21

It is the ratio between net profit and net sales. Basically, it counts the profit after meeting all the
expenses like tax, interest and depreciation.

Industry Avg -7.71 -1.10% 1.80% 1.27% -0.91%

Observations:
-Total sales for Page industry has been increasing yoy with an exception in 2019-20, where the sales
declined. NPM has seen minor consistent decline due to substantial Employee cost increment YOY.
-The fluctuations in net profits are driven by the change in volume due to expansion of production
capacity, exports, and new product lines.
-The net profit margins has been dipping for Rupa because of its consistent increase in operating
expenses, irrespective of the growth or fall in sales
-The overall industry growth has been badly affected by the fall in exports. The comfort and inner
wear segment has however been performing well.

ROA- Return on Assets


Formula: Return on Asset= Net income/ total assets

Return on asset (ROA) shows the percentage of profit a company earns in relation to its overall
resources.

Industry Avg -4.66% -1.13% 2.01% 1.41% -0.95%

Observations:
-ROA for Page has been consistent, with a bump in FY 2018-19. This has been because of record
sales and high Net profits registered by the firm in the last 5 years and a steep reduction in current
investments in FY 2019.
-For KPR Mills, a substantial fall in ROA from FY 2017 to 2019 has been primarily because of the
constant increase in current account balance by close to 500%
-For Rupa & co., the ROA has been dipping over the past couple years as the assets have been
increasing in a bigger ratio than net profits
-Cash conversion efficiency, days of operating cycle, and days of working capital for the textile
industry is low in totality. Branded products on the other hand do better in this which can be
depicted by the industry Vs the firm figures.

Return on equity (ROE)


Formula: Return on Equity= Net Income/ Average Shareholders’ Equity

The amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholders equity. Return on equity (also
known as "return on net worth" [RONW]) measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how
much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.
ROE is expressed as a percentage and calculated as:

Observations:

-A high ROE indicates that the company is turning the cash put into business into greater gains and
growth both for the company and the investors.

-All 3 companies have ROE above industry average.

-Return on equity is useful for comparing the quality of different businesses. Companies that can
achieve high returns on equity without too much debt are generally of good quality.

-If two companies have around the same level of debt to equity, and one has a higher ROE, I’d
generally prefer the one with higher ROE.

-Debt to Equity ratio of Page is lowest whereas ROE is highest so Page is a preferred investment.

-Rupa has a debt to equity ratio of 0.26, which is far from excessive and ROE above industry
standard, indicating the business has decent prospects.

-Similarly for KPR Mill Ltd debt to equity is low and ROE is above industry average so decent
investment.

-The sales of the company were up 7.5% to Rs793.80 Cr. in the quarter ended December 2019 as
against Rs738.32 Cr. during the previous quarter ended December 2018.
-This was because in 2019, Page industry adopted Ind-AS 115 accounting standard for revenue
recognition and the decision to discontinue segmental disclosures which has positive impact on
earnings but leaves investors worried.
-Rupa and KPR Mill have constant EPS and dividend pay-out is constant thus seems like company has
a constant growth.

MANAC Assignment- IPMX 20-21

Observations:

P/E Ratio for page industries is highest when compared to the PE ratio of KPR MILLS and Rupa and
Co which are in the range of 20-30. The higher P/E ratio of page industries indicates investor
confidence in the company and is, therefore, ready to pay a higher stock price compared to its
earnings and also concerning other industries. Reasons for the high investor confidence are:

Brand image: Jockey is a premium brand having pan India presence. Although the penetration rate of
jockey in men wear is 19-20% but in women wear it is still 5-6%, which shows the company has an
opportunity to grow and also premium innerwear market is growing in India. During the year 2019-
20, the Page industries through its authorized franchisees opened 150 Exclusive brand outlets. This is
an indicator of the growth potential of the Jockey brand. Also, the speedo brand has promising
growth potential. The company is continuously expanding and investing in new business units
thereby increasing investors’ confidence.

Future growth: Page Industries has the license to sell Jockey Originals US in India and they have this
license till 2040. So, the company has a strong and clear earnings visibility for the next 21 years. In
the last 2-3 years the sales growth as coming to 20% level. That is why its PE ratio has decreased.
Earlier this growth range was around 30% and that is why it has so rich valuations earlier.

Financial: It has the highest ROE when compared to KPR Mills and Rupa. High ROE means the
company is managing its shareholder equity well in generating sales. But again, the market price of
page industry has declined to owe to Ind-As 115 revenue recognition adoption. The company was
unable to clarify how its adoption leads to revenue growth which decreased investors’ confidence
and stock prices tumbled. But still stock is expensive.

Competitors: KPR mills PE Ratio is below the industry average of 8.5. It has declined by 45% on Mar
20 owing to a decrease in investors’ confidence. The EPS of KPR mill increased by 7% in March 2020
as compared to Mar 19 owing to an increase in net income. The decrease in PE shows the market is
worried about growth and is pessimist for now. Also, the company’s borrowings have increased
tremendously and sales have declined by 1.79% on March 20 compared to Mar 19. But KPR mills is
expanding its units and also increasing its processing capacity. Rupa PE is greater than the industry
average. However, the EPS of Rupa has declined by 14% on Mar 20 compared to Mar 19. Thus, EPS
growth has been undesirable for the company. Also, the net income and sales have declined on Mar
20 as compared to Mar 19. Thus, investors’ confidence is negative. But again, as the PE of Rupa is
greater than the industry average it seems investors are ignoring the recent poor growth rate and
hoping the situation to become better.

CSR and sustainability: It boost investors’ confidence.

Observations:

It helps investors to find undervalued companies as calculating this ratio unearth high growth
companies selling at low growth prices. It means that the stock price is in line with book value of the
company.

For page industries, P/B ratio is much higher than KPI mills and Rupa as the market price of stocks of
Page industries is much higher. Also, it shows that page industry stocks are overvalued relative to its
book value. The reason for overvalued is also because for page industries financial growth such as
ROE is much higher when compared to KPI mills and Rupa. The strong financials have page industries
that has increased investors' confidence.

The book value of Page Industry declined in FY 2019 owing to change in accounting principles and is
highest among KPR Mills and Rupa and Co.

Observations:

As we have seen P/E ratio doesn’t take cash and debt into account. Debt and cash have a strong
impact on a company’s EV. An EV indicates how expensive or cheap a stock is based on the past and
expected cash flows. It helps an investor to take an appropriate decision considering the market
capitalization along with debt and cash positioning of the company. EV/EBITDA captures the payback
period of investment in the company i.e. the number of years needed to earn back the sum paid for
the company in the form of operating profits. Also, the role of market perception is much lesser in
EV/EBITDA

With concerted efforts to shift product mix towards high value add a segment, KPR was would be
able to command higher EBITDA. We see that the percentage increase in EBITDA was 22% in the
year 2019 but it declined by 6% in the year 2020. KPR has shown better % increase in EBITDA when
compared to the Page industry and Rupa & Co. However, EBITDA of the Page industry is the highest
which means the company has lower operating expenses and higher earnings, which shows that
after paying an operating cost, still a decent amount of revenue is left over by the Page industry.

The ratio of EV/EBITDA is highest for page industry which means the company is overly priced and its
stock price is high. KPR Mills and RUPA & Co have lower EV/EBITDA which attracts investors as the
stock price is less. the Higher payback period is unattractive for investors and thus higher EV/EBITDA.

BUY/SELL SHARES
Although Page industry have strong financials but its PE Ratio is still greater than industry average. It
is not advisable to buy stocks at such a premium price. The PE Ratio of KPI is below industry average
but with strong income generation capability its share can be bought. Also, investors’ confidence can
be increased with increased earnings. The Rupa shares are attractive to buy because of its low price
but due to bullish growth in the market investors’ confidence is negative.
