Company update
Initiating coverage
29 April 2021
We initiate coverage on Anupam Rasayan (ARIL) with an ADD rating and a Mar-22 target price of Rs700/share (30x FY23ii
P/E). ARIL’s established relationships with multinational customers, manufacturing and R&D capabilities, and successful track record mean that the company is well-positioned to
capitalise on the promising growth opportunity for India’s CSM industry. We expect continued rapid growth (FY21-23ii EPS Cagr of 87%), underpinned by new contract wins (including
the recent Rs11bn, 5-year contract) and expanded production capacities, to support premium valuations.
Promising growth outlook for India’s CSM industry: India’s
Custom Synthesis & Manufacturing (CSM) market is expected to clock a healthy double-digit Cagr over the next few years, driven by growing
end-user demand and a shift in manufacturing operations away from China, as customers intensify efforts to de-risk their supply chains post-COVID, following previous shocks such as China’s environmental
crackdown, trade dispute with the US, and generally rising costs. The ‘Make in India’ campaign is an added boost to local manufacturers.
ARIL is well-positioned to capitalise on the opportunity: ARIL has developed relationships with various multinational customers over the past few years – a competitive advantage, given the high entry
barriers in CSM. The company is also well-regarded for its technical capabilities, and has a diversified and growing portfolio of products. Its successful track record and willingness to invest substantial resources
towards growth are other notable strengths.
Poised for rapid earnings growth: We project a revenue Cagr of
33% over FY21-23ii, as newly-commissioned capacities move towards optimal utilisation. The Rs11bn order win improves growth visibility for FY24 and beyond. The repayment of ~Rs5.5bn of debt using IPO
proceeds should lead to a reduction in interest expense, driving a PAT Cagr of 87% over FY21-23ii. Given the growth outlook and opportunities ahead, we expect premium valuations to be sustained.

Company profile Anupam Rasayan India (ARIL) is one of the leading companies, engaged
in the custom synthesis and manufacturing (CSM) of specialty chemicals
in India. The company’s focus is on CSM using processes developed in-
house for complex chemistries, thereby achieving cost optimisation.
ARIL has two distinct business verticals: (i) Life Science-related
Specialty Chemicals (~95% of FY20 revenues), comprising products
linked to agrochemicals, personal care and pharmaceuticals; and (ii)
Other Specialty Chemicals (~5% of FY20 revenues), comprising
specialty pigments & dyes, and polymer additives.
Figure 1: Business verticals
Source: Company, IIFL Research Note: Numbers have been rounded off to the nearest million
The company has developed strong and long-term relationships with
various multinational corporations including Syngenta, Sumitomo, BASF,
Bayer Cropscience, Adama, and UPL, and has been manufacturing
products for certain customers for over a decade. The Government of
India has also recognised the company as a three-star export house.
Figure 2: Number of products commercialised

ARIL commenced business in 1984 as a partnership firm manufacturing
conventional products. Over the years, it has evolved into CSM of life
science-related specialty chemicals and other specialty chemicals, which
involve multi-step synthesis and complex technologies. There are
significant entry barriers in the CSM industry, including customer
validation and approvals, high quality standards, stringent
specifications, and customer expectations of process innovation and
cost reduction. Further, customer acquisition is a lengthy process, as
the end-customer is required to register the manufacturer with
regulatory bodies as a supplier of intermediate products or active
ingredients. Given these barriers in the CSM industry, ARIL has been
able to develop strong long-term relationships with various customers.
The company is run by Anand Desai, who has 28 years of experience in
the chemical industry. Mr. Desai took over sole management of ARIL in
2013, by buying out the stake held by his uncle. The transaction was
consummated with financial assistance from an investor, Mr. Milan
Thakkar, who continues to hold a ~23% stake in ARIL. Besides Mr.
Desai, the other promoter of the company is Dr. Kiran Patel, another
financial investor who invested in ARIL beginning 2016.

Manufacturing units
ARIL has six multi-purpose manufacturing facilities in Gujarat, India,
with four facilities located at Sachin and two at Jhagadia. Together,
these have a total capacity of ~23,438MT, as of Dec-2020. Given that
ARIL’s operations are primarily export-oriented, the close proximity of
its facilities located at Sachin to Adani Hazira Port helps reduce freight
and logistics costs. Further, the company has a dedicated in-house R&D
facility and a pilot plant located at Sachin Unit-6, which is equipped with
laboratories engaged in process development, process innovation, new
chemical screening and engineering.

Production-linked incentive scheme
The Indian government has notified four schemes to facilitate domestic
manufacturing of bulk drugs and medical devices, involving a
cumulative budgetary allocation of approximately Rs120bn over several
years. The production-linked incentive scheme for the promotion of
domestic production of key starting materials/direct intermediates and
APIs is likely to grant ~Rs69.4bn worth of benefits to greenfield
projects. The financial rewards will be given over six years for the sales
of the 41 listed goods.
Contract Research & Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) Figure 14: Global CRAMS market (US$ bn)

The pace of contract manufacturing has been increasing globally, as
innovator companies continue to develop new active ingredients while
shifting their focus towards core activities (such as R&D and marketing)
and away from non-core functions such as manufacturing. Outsourcing
of production to low-cost manufacturing destinations is a trend that has
particularly gained traction in recent years.

China’s loss, India’s gain
Several global customers are choosing a ‘China+1 offshore strategy’,
with capacities shifting to cost-efficient markets such as India, which
have strong technology capabilities. This has provided India the
opportunity to intensify its efforts to capture larger market share. While
Chinese companies are expected to recover from the environmental
crackdown they underwent in recent years, it is likely that they will
come back at significantly higher cost of production, given the
investment needed in environmentally-compliant equipment and
manufacturing practices. On the other hand, India is expected to have
significantly strengthened its position in the global supply chain, and is
seen as a viable alternative for global players looking to de-risk their
supply chain. The trend of de-risking of input procurement from China
by global chemical leaders offers export as well as domestic sales
opportunities for the Indian specialty chemical industry. Given India’s
heavy dependence on China for APIs as well as intermediates (for both
pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals), there exists a large opportunity
for Indian companies to capture. Support from the Indian government,
e.g. via the PLI schemes, could be an added booster for the Indian
chemical industry.
ARIL: Key strengths Long-term relationships with a diversified base of customers
ARIL has developed strong and long-term relationships with various
multinational corporations, and this has helped the company expand its
product offerings, processes and geographical reach. Its customers are
typically engaged in a range of industries, including agrochemicals,
personal care products, pharmaceuticals, specialty pigments and dyes,
and polymer additives, and spread across various geographies, allowing
risk mitigation resulting from customer, industry and geographic
concentration. ARIL has established relationships with various
customers such as Syngenta, Sumitomo, BASF, Bayer Cropscience,
Adama and UPL, across Europe, Japan, the United States, Singapore
and India. The company derives a significant proportion of its revenues
from long-term agreements with customers. Revenue generated from
the top-10 customers represented ~87% of FY20 revenues (~84% of
9MFY21 revenues).
Core focus on process innovation
ARIL’s focus on process innovation through continuous R&D and value-
engineering has been instrumental in its business growth, improving its
ability to customise products for customers as well as reducing cost of
production. The company’s R&D is focussed on performing multi-step
synthesis as well as developing in-house processes and identifying
complex chemistries. The company has a dedicated in-house R&D
facility and a pilot plant located at Sachin Unit-6, which is equipped with
laboratories engaged in process development, process innovation, new
chemical screening and engineering. As of Dec-2020, the company has
a dedicated team of over 42 employees in its R&D department.
In terms of process capability, ARIL has diversified and expanded its
expertise into multi-step synthesis and complex chemistries such as
etherification, diazotisation and hydrolysis, acylation, hydrogenation,
fluorination, alkylation, nitration, amination, esterification, chlorination
and bromination. The company is currently utilising continuous process
technology to carry out chemical reactions such as diazotisation and
hydrolysis, nitration, chlorination and distillation.
Diversified and customised product portfolio
ARIL has diversified and expanded its operations from conventional
products into CSM of life-science related specialty chemicals and other
specialty chemicals, which have diverse applications across various
industries. As there are limited companies in India catering to such
diverse segments, ARIL faces limited direct competition from key Indian
vendors, thus strengthening its strategic position. The company’s
commercialised product portfolio has expanded, from 25 products in
FY18 to 41 products as of Dec-2020. The diversified product portfolio
allows for limited dependence on individual products, helps counter
seasonal trends and addresses different business cycles across
industries where these products are used.
ARIL is also backward-integrated in certain products, and the company’s
dependence on imported raw materials as a percentage of total raw
materials purchases has decreased, from 26% in FY18 to 22.4% in
abhij i t.akel la@ii flcap.com
Anupam Rasayan – ADD
9
FY20. Imported raw materials from China as a percentage of total raw
materials purchased decreased, from 17.1% in FY19 to 12.2% in FY20.
ARIL’s margins are fairly stable and predictable, as the company
operates on a transparent cost model and a margin typically mentioned
in the purchase order and/or agreement. The final purchase price is
usually pre-determined and mutually agreed upon between ARIL and
the customer.
Experienced promoters and strong management team
ARIL is led by experienced promoters, some of whom have significant
experience in the chemical industry. Anand Desai has ~28 years of
experience in the chemical industry, and is supported by a strong team
of experienced professionals, most of whom have stayed with ARIL for
several years. For example, Dr. Nileshkumar Naik, who heads the
company’s R&D, has been associated with the company since 1985.
Automated manufacturing units with focus on environment
ARIL currently has six manufacturing facilities situated in Gujarat, with
four facilities located in Sachin and two facilities in Jhagadia. The
company provides large-scale CSM services, offers multi-step synthesis
and undertakes complex chemical reactions. The manufacturing facilities
are highly automated and equipped with glass-lined, titanium cladded
and stainless steel reactors, enabling the company to manufacture a
diverse range of products, minimise the number of employees required,
and reduce cost and human error.
Strategies
Continues to focus on custom synthesis and manufacturing by
developing innovative processes and value engineering
Management believes that offering value-engineering and developing
innovative processes in its custom synthesis and manufacturing
operations enable the company to enter into long-term contracts with
customers, which in turn ensures product off-take and helps deliver
better margins. The company aims to differentiate itself by developing
in-house innovative processes which provides better leverage in terms
of pricing. The company is working on new complex chemistries, such
as hydrogenation and photo-chlorination. It is currently in the process
of developing a few products by undertaking “photo chemistry
technology”, which it intends to take to commercial scale. In addition,
the company continues to enhance its “continuous and flow chemistry”
capabilities by exploring opportunities to manufacture active ingredient
products.
Management believes that the company’s focus on value-engineering to
enter new value chains and replace lower-value products with higher-
value products in the same chemistry will enable it to service needs of
customers to a larger extent as well as increase its wallet share with
existing customers. The company also intends to capitalise on cross-
selling opportunities that higher-value products offer, by leveraging on
its long-standing relationships with customers. Management intends to
focus on early-stage process innovation and development. This will
enable the company to be the initial supplier for certain customised
specialty chemicals.
Expand business by capitalising on industry opportunities and
organic and inorganic growth
Custom synthesis and manufacturing is on the rise in India and is
expected to clock a CAGR of 12% over the next five years. Given the
“China plus one strategy” of western manufacturers, the increased cost
of manufacturing in China and China’s trade disputes with US, there is
ample opportunity for Indian companies to gain global market share.
The Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ campaign is also expected to
act as a stimulus to the manufacture of chemicals in India. The
company intends to continue participating in various domestic and
international industry exhibitions, for exploring new business
opportunities with existing and prospective customers. Management
aims to strengthen its position in India by growing both, organically and
inorganically. In the future, management are open to considering
acquisition opportunities to selectively expand verticals, e.g. the
company had acquired Jhagadia Unit-4, a multipurpose backward
integrated facility, in 2014.
Diversify product portfolio and expand chemistry expertise
Management will continue to focus on manufacturing specialty
chemicals that are intermediates of key molecules manufactured by its
customers. The company intends to broaden its product offerings
abhij i t.akel la@ii flcap.com
Anupam Rasayan – ADD
10
through innovation, focus on sustainable solutions, undertaking new
chemistries and multi-step synthesis of niche products. The company
aims to focus on molecules that i) are patented; ii) are in the early
stages of their life cycle; iii) are of high or medium value and low
volume; iv) involve complex chemistries; and iv) would lead to high
growth rates on commercialisation across geographies.
The company intends to offer a wide range of chemistries (e.g. Grignard
reactions), including certain niche chemistries (e.g. ethylene oxide,
ammoxidation and isobutylene) currently undertaken by only a few
companies in the country. These chemistries will enable ARIL to
manufacture more products in the life-science related specialty
chemicals vertical.
Continues to focus on cost efficiency and improving productivity
Given increased competition and stringent regulations, the company
intends to focus on keeping operating costs low which management
believe is critical for remaining profitable. Management will continue to
focus on developing and adopting energy-efficient technologies &
practices, increasing usage of alternative raw material and fuels, and
waste utilisation technologies to optimise production costs. The
company intends to continue integrating its manufacturing facilities and
carrying out most of the processes in-house, to maximise efficiencies.
Financial analysis
ARIL’s total revenue has grown at a Cagr of 18% over the last 10 years
from Rs972m in FY10 to Rs5.3bn in FY20 (Rs5.4bn in 9mFY21). Ebitda
clocked a Cagr of 23% over FY10-20. Net profit grew, from Rs69m in
FY10 to Rs530m in FY20 (Rs481m in 9MFY21). The growth has been
driven by steady capex over the years, the strengthening of the product
offerings and an increasing customer footprint.
Figure 19: Revenue and margin trend

In terms of key raw materials, the company utilises phenol and benzene
derivatives, such as para chloro phenol and meta dichloro benzene,
bromine, pyrazole, various chloro- and fluoro-intermediates, solvents,
chlor-alkalies and metal catalysts. The company has a centralised
system for procurement of raw materials across all its manufacturing
facilities. Historically, ARIL sourced raw material from multiple vendors
in India, China and Japan. However, the company’s dependence on
imports from China has reduced: imported raw materials from China (as
a percentage of total raw material purchases) decreased, from 14.9% in
FY18 to 12.7% in FY20. The company usually does not have long-term
supply contracts with its raw material suppliers. Pricing and production
volumes are negotiated for each purchase order, and there are no
contractual commitments other than those set forth in the purchase
orders. While the long-term agreements with certain customers typically
cover price escalations on account of an increase in raw material costs,
the company is exposed to fluctuations in the prices of raw material for
products for other customers, who place purchase orders on a spot
basis.
In FY20, export revenues accounted for ~68% of total revenues (~61%
in 9MFY21). Revenue from Europe, Japan, United States and India
accounted for 36%, 5.8%, 3.7% and 32%, respectively.

While ARIL’s RoE was healthy at 20-30% till FY16, it started declining
thereafter, as the company incurred a total capex of Rs8.5bn over FY18-
20 across various projects (primarily, units 5 & 6). This led to a decline
in return ratios, as both asset turnover and margins fell subsequently.
Commissioning of units 5 & 6 was delayed, as the company decided to
rework the plants and make them fully automated. Asset turnover and
profit margins are expected to increase over FY21-23, as the company
sweats out the newly commissioned units, improves its product mix and
reduces inventory days.
ARIL’s inventory days (which stood at 205 for FY20) are significantly
higher than those of peers. This is because the company enters into
annual pricing contracts with customers and, hence, procures inventory
for the entire contract duration to protect itself from raw material price
volatility. Additionally, certain large customers have also asked the
company to maintain spare capacities and adequate inventory to
prevent risk of stock-outs. We expect inventory days to improve to 150
by FY23, as the company is in discussions with customers to shift to
semi-annual contract pricing.

Outlook We expect ARIL’s Ebitda Cagr at ~39% over FY21-23ii, as the company
ramps up capacity utilisation after incurring ~Rs8.5bn of capex over
FY18-20. Almost Rs3.5-4bn of the capex incurred during the period
pertains to newly-commissioned units 5 & 6, whose capacity utilisation
is expected to ramp up over the next few years.

ARIL enjoys strong relationships with global customers such as
Syngenta, Sumitomo, BASF, Bayer Cropscience and Adama. While
ARIL’s revenue was largely concentrated towards BASF and Syngenta a
few years ago, the company has now diversified its customer base and
won contracts from other MNCs, such as Bayer, Sumitomo and UPL. We
believe ARIL is well-placed to capitalise on these relationships via order
wins and, thus, quickly ramp up utilisation. Figure 28: Revenue and Ebitda margin outlook
Source: Company, IIFL Research
Revenue is thus expected to register a Cagr of ~Rs33% over FY21-23ii,
to Rs14.1bn. The improvement in capacity utilisation and benefits from
operating leverage and an improved sales mix are also expected to
improve Ebitda margins, from ~24.3% in 9MFY21 to ~25.3% in FY23ii.
We expect finance costs to reduce, from ~Rs647m in FY21 to Rs105m
in FY22, as we expect the IPO proceeds to be used to pay back debt if
~Rs5.5bn. This will further accelerate PAT growth. We expected ARIL’s
PAT Cagr at ~87% over FY21-23ii, driven by ramp-up of capacity
utilisation at Units 5 & 6 coupled with a steep reduction in finance costs.
ARIL has also recently announced that the company has signed a letter

the world, for supplying specialty chemicals. The letter of intent
amounts to Rs11bn over five years.
Figure 29: RoE and RoCE are expected to improve over the next few years
Source: Company, IIFL Research
We expect RoE and RoCE to improve to 13% and 16%, respectively, by
FY23ii, on the back of improved utilisation of the newly-capitalised units
5 & 6, reduction of inventory days and improved margins. The company
has also decided to only take up projects with asset turnover of ~1.8-2x
or better.
Additionally, management also intend to incur capex of ~Rs1bn in FY22,
on cost-saving measures that will help save various costs, among which
are energy and environmental costs. Management expect the IRR of
these projects to be ~25% and, thus, expect the company to save
~Rs250m of costs once these measures are implemented.
Risks
• ARIL’s business revenues is significantly contingent on the life
sciences-related specialty chemicals segment, and end-user demand
from this industry could be impacted by factors such as seasonality
of customers’ product, regulatory action, climatic conditions (for
agrochemicals) and economic conditions.
• ARIL derives a significant portion of revenue from certain customers,
and the loss of one or more such customers could adversely affect
its business and financial condition. Revenues generated from sales
to its top 10 customers represented ~87% of total FY20 revenues.
• The company’s success depends on its ability to manage customer
relationships. Inability to enter into long-term contracts with
customers may result in expenses and investments without a
proportionate increase in its revenues/profits. There is also a risk
that some of its customers may start manufacturing their own active
ingredients and intermediates, and discontinue contracts with ARIL.
• The company’s business is capital-intensive and requires capex
action in advance of earning revenues. This has led to a build-up in
debt. If the company’s internal accruals fall short of projections, it
may need to raise outside funding to meet balance sheet
requirements. Inability to obtain financing in a timely manner may
delay expansion plans.
• The company is subject to stringent environmental, health and
safety laws, regulations and standards. Non-compliance with these
may result in fines, criminal sanctions, revocation of operating
permits, or shutdown of its manufacturing facilities.
Recommendation and valuations
We initiate coverage on Anupam Rasayan with an ADD recommendation
and a Mar-22 target price of Rs700/share (30x FY23ii P/E). We project a
revenue Cagr of 33% over FY21-23ii, as newly-commissioned capacities
move towards optimal utilisation. New project wins could improve
growth visibility for FY24 & beyond. The repayment of debt of up to
~Rs5.5bn, using IPO proceeds, should lead to a reduction in interest
expense, driving a PAT Cagr of 87% over FY21-23. Given the growth
outlook and opportunities ahead, we expect premium valuations to
sustain.

Price Target: Unless otherwise stated in the text of this report, target prices in this report are based on either a discounted cash flow valuation or comparison of valuation ratios with companies seen by the analyst as comparable or a combination of the two methods. The result of this fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst’s views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there
is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive pressures or in the level of demand for the company’s products. Such
demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level of economic activity or, in some cases, in fashion. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in
certain industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange rates, exchange controls, taxation, and political and social
conditions. This discussion of valuation methods and risk factors is not comprehensive – further information is available upon request.
