Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs3,535 | TP: Rs4,139
New launches, share gain infuse confidence; Upgrade to BUY
Quick Pointers:
YTD inflation at 20% and QoQ at 4%, incremental price hike of 4-5% likely in
1Q23, if input cost pressure sustains
3Q volume up c.5% YoY, despite 4-5% impact due to grammage reduction
Rural distribution and product initiatives defeat slowdown with 2x share gain
We upgrade BRIT to BUY (accumulate earlier) even as we cut FY22/23/24 EPS
estimates by 1.6%/4.2%/2.6%. This follows as 10% price increase (by 4Q end)
might not be sufficient to fully pass on +20% input cost inflation. Although
worst seems over, margin recovery might extend beyond 4Q22. We believe
growth outlook has improved given 5% 3Q volume growth in a challenging
scenario (4-5% impact of grammage reduction in 65% of portfolio) and
success of new launches like Potazos, Bilk Bikis (Atta), Layered cake,
Chocolush, Goodday re-launch and higher probability of pan India launch of
Treat Croissant.
Long term growth drivers are sustaining momentum with 1) 26k rural
preferred dealers 2) 2.19mn direct reach 3) 1.3x growth in focus states 4) 2x
share gain in rural India v/s urban 5) sustained gains from cost efficiency
program in Manufacturing, distribution and procurement and 6) Improved
visibility of salability in Dairy, salted snacks, croissants etc. We estimate
12.1% CAGR in sales and 20.6% CAGR in PAT over FY22-24 on margin
recovery from current lows. We roll over to 46xDec23 EPS thereby arriving at
a target price of Rs4,139 (Rs4093 based on 46xSept23 earlier) as ROE/ROCE
and Dividend payout of 58%, 53% and +80% provide support. Upgrade to Buy.
Concall Takeaways: 1) Sustained market share gains. Delta between #2 player
widens YTD. 2) Not witnessing any slowdown in rural with market share gains at 2x
of urban gains 3) 3Q Inflation ahead of expectations. 8% price hike taken so far to
cover only 2Q material inflation 4) ICD: At Rs5.80bn vs Rs5.05bn QoQ 5) 65% of
price increase is through grammage cuts, impacting volumes by 4-5% 6) With RM
inflation continuing in 4Q as well, margins to remain flattish. 4-5% price hikes likely
by beginning of FY23 7) Dairy unit to commercialize by 2QFY23 (Rs6.5bn capex,
procurement 60kliter/day) 8) Run rate of new products: Potazos: Rs700mn; Milk
Bikis Atta: Rs4bn; Tiger Krunch: Rs3bn. 9) ESG goals remain on track. 42% women
workforce; 60% renewable energy usage by 2024, eliminate 2mn kg, reduction of
30% in water usage, 8% in sugar, 6% in sodium.
Sales up 12.9%, estimated volumes up 5%: Consol Revenues grew 12.9% YoY
to Rs35.7bn (PLe: Rs34.5bn). GRM’s contracted 520bps YoY to 37.9% (PLe:
38.5%). EBITDA declined by 11.7% YoY to Rs5.4bn (PLe: Rs5.5bn); Margins
contracted by 420bps YoY to 15.1% (PLe:15.8%) mainly on account of GRM
contraction. PBT declined by 17.4% YoY to Rs5.1bn (PLe: Rs5.2bn). Adjusted PAT
declined by 18.1% YoY to Rs3.7bn (PLe: Rs3.9bn).
