TCL Building asset light specialty retail chains The gold storm and the poor consumer sentiment slowed down the pace of value creation of this retail mammoth. We believe the consumption theme is still intact and disposable income of Indian middle class is set to rise once the economy takes a U shaped recovery. TCL is going to utilize this opportunity to scale up its stores by adding ~ 200 stores every year across watches and accessories, jewellery and eyewear segment. We initiate our coverage on TCL with a buy rating and explain our investment rationale, summary of which is provided here below: Aggression in store expansion to continue in watches and accessories segment. Jewellery to gain market share from unorganized section and step up studded jewellery share. Tier 2/3 expansion in jewellery segment to boost above average growth rates. Eyewear to continue to grow 25%+ with pricing power. Margins to recover as TCL adjusts to the headwinds of gold availability, poor consumer sentiment and material cost inflation in watches category. Brand extensions to accessories (c. $2 billion market) provide headroom to invest further on brand building. Entry into new categories under exploration recently amended MOA to include new objects of the company.

Initiating Coverage COMPANY BACKGROUND
Titan Company Limited (TCL) (until recently known as Titan Industries Limited) is a specialty retailer with retail presence in B2C businesses of watches, jewellery, eyewear and accessories. The company was originally established as a JV in 1984 between TATA group and the Tamilnadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) to manufacture watches. In its thrust to grow, Jewellery vertical was added in 1996, Precision Engineering in 2005 and Eyewear in 2007. In FY13, Jewellery segment contributed 79% of total revenues, followed by Watches (~16%), Eyewear (~3%) and Precision Engineering B2B (~2%). Jewellery division contributed to 82% of EBIT, followed by Watches contributing to 18% as Eyewear and Precision Engineering have reached Breakeven levels. Watches: TCL is the worlds 5th largest watch manufacturer. In 2 decades, TCL has transformed itself from a single brand Titan watch manufacturer to multi brand retail chain of watches in India and abroad. The company is the market leader in watches segment in India and has presence in over 209 towns with 968 stores covering 1.3 million sq ft of store area. TCL has international presence in watches segment in 32 countries with 2201 outlets. Jewellery: This segment operates under 3 retail chain brands viz., Tanishq, Gold Plus and Zoya. As on 30th June 2013, TCL operates 151 Tanishq stores, 31 Gold Plus stores and 2 Zoya stores. The company focuses in design and innovative jewellery products with gold and diamond as base metals/stones. The company has uniquely positioned itself as market leader in organized jewellery market. The industry is highly fragmented and is estimated to be worth approx. $20 bn. Eyewear: This category is operated under the retail chain brand of Titan Eye+. As on 30th June 2013, the company has 229 stores and has broken even on this vertical. The product sold in this retail chain comprises of frames, lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses, ready readers and accessories; with in-house brands (Titan, Eye+ and Dash) and many licensed international and luxury brands. Precision Engineering: This is the B2B business TCL entered in 2005 to de-risk itself from the risks of B2C business. Albeit, only 2% of revenues is the contribution of this division with low ROCE, it provides the opportunity to leverage TCL engineering capabilities to foray into USD 32 billion (e. FY13) global market. The business is capital intensive and hence will be a less preferred growth driver for TCL in the medium term. TCL has 6851 employees as on 31st march 2013 with 3361 employees engaged in factories and manufacturing while 3107 are engaged in retail, sales and marketing. TCL is poised to position as a multi-chain specialty retailer, capitalize the opportunity provided by huge unorganized categories in India and leverage on the rising per capita income of India.

Initiating Coverage TCL ~ INVESTMENT RATIONALE
Time to Buy: Combo of high quality management and good businesses do not come cheap and when faced with external headwinds, the market provides a window of opportunity to pick up such stocks at reasonable prices. Riding on the favorable demographics of: 1) Rapid increase in urbanization 2) Rise in number of middle class household 3) Working women population 4) Increase in disposable income 5) Large youth population and 6) Changing consumption habits is expected to fuel discretionary spending of Indian middle class. India is expected to see a shift towards discretionary spending, the share of which is expected to reach ~70% in 2025E from 52% in 2005. TCL is aptly positioned with its product offerings to cater to discretionary spending in lifestyle segments. With a strong distribution network (1048 stores in India in over 250 towns) and robust brand portfolio across discretionary product categories, we believe TCL is suitably placed to make the best of rising aspiration and disposable income of domestic consumers. Eyewear Chain ~ 229 to 1200+ stores ~ building a highly profitable consumer franchise To add 50-60 new store every year. Opportunity exists to reach 1200+ stores Low penetration and huge unorganized market of organized retail eyewear market provides significant growth opportunity. Brands, design and innovative marketing across the spectrum of fashion/style to vision correction to provide repeat buyers for Titan Eye+. EBIT margins to improve sequentially from c. 0% (FY13) to 6% in FY15 and 10% in FY16. Jewellery Segment ~ environment to improve from hereon. Market share gain from unorganized market led by unique design and customer engagement initiatives of Tanishq. Changing consumer preference from traditional jewellery to studded jewellery from trusted retail chains. Creating niche opportunities through brands in work wear (Mia), fashion (Iva) and romance (Solitaires) segments. Gold import quantity and financing restrictions of RBI and GOI to have least impact on Tanishq. Rebound in consumer sentiment to help regain 28-32% studded jewellery and margins recovery.

Watches segment ~ Product mix, rising disposable income and range expansion to drive growth. Growth to be backed by store expansion, recovery in consumer sentiment and launch of accessories. Expect EBIT margin expansion to 15% levels with support from accessories segment by FY15. Premiumization to help increase realization growth once consumer sentiment rebounds. Foray into new categories to propel growth and de-risk from jewellery Launched categories like fragrance, belts, wallets, helmets etc. to enable growth momentum in World of Titan stores. Amendment to Objects clause in Memorandum of Association reflecting board room thinking to enter new categories to propel growth momentum. Our Recommendation We build conservative topline estimates and expect TCLs revenues to grow at 20% CAGR to `17935 crore during FY13-FY16E driven by aggressive expansion plans in the jewellery, watches and eyewear segment leading to strong growth in volume sales. We forecast margin accretion on the back of rising share of premium products in the overall product mix and significant turnaround in the eyewear segment leading to growth of 23% CAGR in bottom-line. However, we believe the market has factored in most of the negatives related to gold import concerns and slowdown in consumer sentiment (stock down 23% from 52 week high). We initiate coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a target price of `300 per share. We value the company at 28x one year forward earnings. At CMP `239, the stock is trading at 26x FY14e EPS and 20x FY15e EPS. Hence, we recommend a BUY on the stock with a potential upside of 25%.

Initiating Coverage TCL~BUILDING ASSET LIGHT SPECIALTY RETAIL CHAINS Strong expansion plans to capture the favourable demographic changes
We believe TCL is best poised to take advantage of the changing discretionary consumption trends due to its rapid store expansions. Titan has seen its store grow from 539 (6.85 lak sqft) in FY10 to 1026 (12.06 lak sqft) in FY13 and with an eye on growth the company expects to expand its geographical footprint across segments. We hence expect a sharp increase in the wallet share of discretionary household spending and luxury products in the coming years on a rebound of consumer sentiment. The company has plans to add c. 245 stores (+24%) across retail formats in FY14. Watches division to extend its strong brands into accessories Indian consumers propensity to spend on lifestyle products is likely to witness steady increase in the coming years on a rebound of consumer sentiment. The accessories market is conservatively estimated to be $ 2 billion. Company forayed into accessories market through brand extension of Titan (leather belts and wallets) and Fasttrack (sun glasses, bags, belts and wallets for youth). The products are sold through existing watches retail channel thereby providing significant store level margin expansion. Gold availability near term operational pain but not a business threat It is well known that RBI measures to restrict gold imports have brought down gold imports significantly in August and September 2013. Our channel checks suggest that recycled gold have increased and the current issue in the domestic market is not of availability but that of weak consumption demand. We believe, TCL is well positioned to ride through this economic challenge as it stands to get preferential status with banks like Nova Scotia for domestic consumption demand. Eyewear division the next game changer Industry study suggests that approx. 30% of population needs vision correction (~ 300 mn) while presently only 84 mn users wear vision glasses (~ 25% of those who need vision correction). It is estimated that average eyewear change cycle typically takes 36-48 months. We believe enhanced healthcare infrastructure improvement, deeper penetration of ophthalmic healthcare, rising awareness of eyesight challenges, increased brand building initiatives coupled with the rising preference towards stylish, designer and branded frames with innovative functional lenses will accelerate the market growth and provide TCL the opportunity to grow 2x the industry growth rate in this segment. Core watches segment to grow ahead of market through market expansion With 65% market share and presence across the price tier and consumer need segments, TCL is expected to drive growth ahead of market through 1) market share gains from unorganised market; 2) targeting urban youth and women; 3) capture the up-trading potential in watches segment; 4) multi-ownership and 5) increasing product range collections.

Initiating Coverage JEWELLERYSEGMENT ~ KEY PROFIT DRIVER ~ 82% OF EBIT
Large unorganized non-branded market opportunity to deliver LTL growth TCL has 184 retail stores under Tanishq, Gold plus and Zoya brands as on 30th June 2013. Indian Jewellery market is estimated to be atleast $ 20 bn (CY12) and is expected to reach $ 35 bn in CY16. The industry is highly unorganized with 300000+ jewellery stores pan India (Source: 2011 Bain Industry study). It is estimated that semiurban and rural markets contribute 40% of the market size. While Tanishq enjoys c. 40% market share in the branded jewellery segment, it stands to gain preferred place to buy for Indian consumers on account of 1) Trust on TATA group; 2) Innovative range and design collections; 3) Best in class shopping experience; 4) Transparency in gold purity and diamond karatage. Taking Tanishq to many more new towns ~ expansion in Tier 2 / Tier 3. Presently Tanishq is available in 86 towns and Gold Plus in 31 towns. TCL plans to expand geographical footprint and penetrate further into more towns under Tanishq brand. At the beginning of FY14, TCL had plans to open 45 jewellery stores (+25%), however we believe that TCL will eventually go ahead with only 25 new stores in FY14. Gold Plus chain will remain stagnant and restrict its operations within the state of Andhra Pradesh as TCL is not convinced on the brand positioning and business profitability model in our view. Beneficiary of rebound in consumer sentiment to drive higher share of studded jewellery sales It is well known that Indian consumers are amidst the macro headwinds of 1) high dual inflation (WPI & CPI); 2) low GDP resulting in lack of income generation opportunities; 3) declining savings rate; and finally 4) lack of positive catalyst or outlook for the near term future. This is evident in the LTL growth rates of discretionary consumption categories in 2013 and continuing negative outlook on the growth prospects for the next twelve months. We believe recovery in economic growth with good monsoon and stable government post May 2014 elections will boost consumer confidence and recovery in discretionary consumption favoring TCL to deliver grow ahead of market. Strong corporate patronage of TATA group Titan is part of the TATA group which is considered as reliable and trusted brand for over 3-4 decades. Due To the prevalence of under-karatage in the unorganized segment, consumers will shift to branded players like Tanishq. The company has a strong customer focus with loyalty programs like Golden Harvest Scheme, Ananta and Anuttara. Design innovations, brands, advertising and aspiration to drive consumer preference to Tanishq TCL has a competitive edge to offer innovative designs under its umbrella brands for specific target consumers (Mia for working women; fq for teens). Also, the company is focusing on targeted advertising campaigns with regional designs to meet the needs of regional jewellery design preferences.

Source: Titan, Anush Research In Aug/Sep 2013, RBI imposed restrictions on the quantum of gold that can be imported by way of 80:20 rule (domestic : export ratio) and has subsequently clarified that gold imported by entities in SEZs, EOUs, premier and star trading houses will be excluded from the rule. According to Table 1 below, India exported c. 130-140 tons of gold in FY11-12 and has remained stable in FY13. Table 1: Estimated total export of gold is 130-140 tons per year

Source: DGCIS data, Industry reports, Anush Research As per our industry sources, approx. 50% of this export is done by the excluded category of exporters in the RBI clarification. This leaves approx. 60-70 tons of exports by entities who are covered under 80:20 rule making the industry total imports restricted to c. 300 tons per year. In our view, TCL will have the preferential status in the domestic distribution of 240 tons of gold and hence we do not see this as a business risk.

Source: TCL, Anush Research Restricting sale of Gold coins and bars to prop up 80 bps margin expansion artificially TCL stopped sales of gold coin and bars in its stores effective July 2013, a wise decision to boost corporate image (supporting CAD pressures of GOI) as well as divert the gold available to meet jewellery demand.

Higher wedding days and Gold price play a vital role in volume growth Analysis of volume growth, muhurath days (reasonable benchmark for wedding days) and gold price growth shows as depicted in Chart 4 show that 1) higher wedding days and decline in gold prices has a significant multiplier effect in volume; 2) continued stable prices (e.g.FY11) in gold provide stable volume opportunity and 3) significant price increase YOY (30%+) proves to have negative correlation on jewellery demand.

We conclude from Chart 4 that volume growth remains stable in a smaller band of gold price volatility (+10%15%) while a steep correction (say + 25%) will have significant negative correlation to volume demand. Other Key business strategies in jewellery segment to maintain growth momentum Introduction of many KVIs, entry products at attractive price points (Diamond jewellery from `9,999) and weights as well as region specific products. (On similar lines of FMCG products at `5, `10 price point and low fill packs like sachets or mini bottles of 7.5 ml to attract new consumers) Continued launch of many exciting collection across the category and price spectrum. Investing in segments like work wear (Mia), Fashion (Iva) and Romance (Solitaires). Competition protection program and pre-emptive competition plan to defend consumer franchise from ongoing threat of competition opening stores in the vicinity of Tanishq. Direct import license from RBI to import upto 10 tons for TCL requirements will contribute by way of VAT savings on gold procurement (approx. 20 bps at EBIT margin level). Continuing push for Golden Harvest Scheme ~ driving on the Indian nature of being conservative and high savings. At lower gold prices, making charges charged by Tanishq brands will come closer to other big jewelers, improving competitive position. (An event proven in April 2013)

EYEWEAR SEGMENT ~ SET TO BE AMONGST THE LARGEST RETAIL CHAIN Multiple demand drivers to explode growth opportunity Indian eyewear industry is estimated to be approx. `1800 crores (CY2012) largely led by discount segment and is expected to continue to grow at 15% - 20% p.a for the next decade. The industry continues to be highly unorganised while some regional chains have emerged over last 24 months but none have been successful to be a national player. The customer lifetime value is very high and repeat purchase is a regular feature from adolescence to old age. As per industry survey, almost everyone over 40 years of age needs a vision correction. The key growth drivers for the market to grow at 15-20% are 1) Population growth and rapid urbanization; 2) Literacy about vision correction needs; 3) Penetration of TV and computers; 4) Poor eye health due to lifestyle / improper diet; 5) Fashion conscious youth; 6) Rising disposable income; 7) Uptrading from popular priced to mid-premium eyewear lenses and frames 8) Rise of internet to enhance retailing reach of eyeglasses. Eyewear a semi discretionary category It is critical to note that unlike jewellery or watches segment, eyewear is a semi-discretionary category. Amidst the on-going economic downturn, over 150 Titan Eye+ stores delivered a 15%+ LTL growth. We believe that the category is almost equivalent to necessity category with a larger replacement cycle (estimated at 36/48 months).

Over the years, eyeglasses have shed their utilitarian image of being just a vision correction contraption to becoming a key fashion accessory. Innovative materials for lenses and frames and other technological advances have resulted in several new designs with superior aesthetic appeal, style and quality. Eyeglasses are increasingly used as facial accessory matching apparel and for highlighting the user's personality. The global eyewear market primarily comprises sales of prescription frames and sunglasses and can be divided in different segments and average retail prices as indicated in the following table: Table 3: Developed markets price ladder of Eyeglasses across market segments
Market Range High-end Mid-range Lower-end Market Segment Luxury Premium (fashion and designer) Diffusion Mass Discount Segment average retail price > 230 Euro 130-230 Euro 75-130 Euro <75 Euro < 30 Euro
Source: TCL, Anush Research To exploit this vast opportunity, Titan Eye+ has product portfolio of frames, eyeglasses, lenses, contact lenses, ready readers, lens cleansing solutions and other accessories. TCL retails these products under 3 in-house brands of Titan, Eye+, Dash and multiple international brand names like Gucci, D&G, Armani, BOSS, Esprit, Daniel Swarowski and Mont Blanc. Competitive positioning of in-house style consultants in retail stores, onsite zero error prescription, free eye testing, scratch resistant lenses and lens accuracy certificate provides an edge for TCL to retain consumer franchise.

WATCHES ~ RIDING THE ASPIRATION WITH HIGHER DISPOSABLE INCOME Catalysts for growth in watches category The catalysts for category growth includes overall economic progress, expanding upper-middle class and middleclass population, growth in India's young earning population, rising consumerism and the spread of modern retail formats. TCL commands 25% market share by volume and 45% by value in the `4700 crores India watch market. Vast proportion of watch market is below `500/- (65% of market volume and 24% by value) where TIL participates through its Sonata and Zoop brands. In the organized watch retail segment, TCL holds 65% value market share. Realization growth to be led by up-trading and less of pricing power The industry witnessed c. 4.5% CAGR volume growth between FY10-13 (48 million pieces to 55 million pieces). With significant fall in consumer sentiment and low economic growth, the volume growth in FY14 is expected to be flat or negative in India. The industry price realization per piece moved up by 3% CAGR between FY10-13 while the price realization of TCL moved up ahead of market at c. 5% CAGR during the same period. The price realization improvement in the industry has so far been cost inflation led while margins have been range bound. Chart 9: Watches price increase to be a challenge in FY15

Over 50% volume of watch market is unorganized, primarily at low end (mass market) dominated by small players assembling watches illegally, smuggled watches and fakes thereby making it a tough task for TCL to pursue premium pricing strategy without a risk to its volume base. Chart 9 above reflects the stability in avg. realization per watch despite a good GDP growth during the period FY10-12. We forecast a material cost inflation led price increase in FY14-15 and less of Premiumization based realization growth. Watch - perfect discretionary consumption pattern ~ high correlation to consumer sentiment Watch segment is highly correlated to the consumer sentiment and discretionary consumption cycle. Chart 10 below shows the impact of the ongoing slowdown in the economy on the watches division sales growth. We expect the situation to improve only in H2FY15 and thereby remain cautious on this segment and growth will be driven by market share gains in the short term through expansion and product range launches.

Source: TCL, Anush Research Stores expansion and low penetration to drive market share gains TCL has an aggressive plan to add c. 145 stores in watches and accessories segment in FY14. In our view, the ongoing slowdown will force management to revisit aggressive expansion and slowdown the process of store roll out. We expect these 145 stores to be up and running by FY15. In the interim, the focus will be on protecting margins and retaining volumes in base stores with aggressive international expansion in developed markets as they show signs of growth revival. It is estimated that only 27-30% of Indians own a watch, as the per capita income crosses a threshold limit, the incremental disposable income moves towards discretionary categories thereby enhancing the penetration led category growth.

Initiating Coverage INCUBATING NEW CATEGORIES AND IMPROVING MARGINS Tapping the $ 2 billion Indian accessories market opportunity
Though small, the watches brands of Titan and Fasttrack has been extended to accessories space like wallets, belts, helmets, etc. The accessories market is highly unorganized and is estimated to be of $ 2 billion market size. Since the distribution channel of these products remains through the flagship watch stores of Titan, we believe large part of gross contribution will flow through to bottomline. We expect significant improvement in Watches and Accessories division EBIT margin in the medium term once accessories business achieves a reasonable size. Amendment of Other Objects clause in MOA to venture into new categories Recent amendment to the Objects clause of TCL MOA reflects board room intention to enter new categories to propel growth momentum in the future. Some of the categories noted are: Hearing aid and related accessories Apparel, garments, saris, writing instruments, mobile phones, musical instruments, lifestyle accessories, etc. Rendering content through education workshops, conferences, theater, entertainment shows, gadget toys, DIY kits, activity books, sports products, foods and beverages, etc. Kitchen appliances, storage shelves, kitchen utensils, chimneys, hobs, furniture and cabinets, etc. Products powered by solar energy. Premium product mix and aggressive store expansion to drive margin expansion Focus towards higher studded jewellery share to 32% in Jewellery segment, growth led by premium products segments like eyewear, mid-premium watches and accessories will structurally improve gross margins of the business. We estimate eyewear and PED segment to deliver 3.3% and 6% EBIT margin in FY14 and FY15 respectively, primarily led by scale benefits in eyewear division. We forecast TCL EBIT margins to remain between 10%-11% in FY14-15 and deliver 11%+ from FY16.

7th October 2013
Initiating Coverage TCL~ KEY RISKS & CONCERNS Studded Jewellery is the biggest risk; not the gold price
63% of Jewellery EBIT and c. 50% of TCL EBIT comes from Studded jewellery business (22% of revenue). Any slowdown in new design launches, consumer engagement initiatives or structural change in consumer perception of premium pricing of studded jewellery in Tanishq will have significant consequence in terms of Jewellery division profitability. Prolonged delay in economic recovery from slowdown India has been witnessing prolonged delay in domestic growth revival. Continued weak economic growth will raise the curtains on Indian middle class aspirations and dream for premium products. TCLs products fall under the discretionary category, which has high delta with the growth in disposable income and is highly dependent on the healthy growth of the economy. A slower than expected recovery in the economy will lead to lower spending on discretionary items (and more on necessities) leading to reduced volume growth for TCL. Also, middle class consumers are highly likely to delay upgrading to premium products in the event of a delay in economic recovery. This will have significant impact on TCLs growth across segments of jewellery and watches. Sharp correction in gold prices Indian consumers prefer one way upward movement in gold prices every year. Sharp drops in price prove to be an opportunistic moment to buy more. However, any sharp fall in gold prices due to global event will have a significant negative impact on preference to gold beyond a reasonable level. In addition, the gold held on behalf of customers under Golden Grammage Scheme (1.3 tons of Gold in hand on behalf of customers) will see a mark to market notional loss. FDI in single brand and multi brand retail chains The premium segment of Titan watches could be impacted by an intense competition from a variety of International brands. Several watch majors such as Tissot, Fossil, Calvin Klein, Giordano, Esprit and Tommy Hilfiger compete directly with TCL in this category. Any susceptible increase in competition from these and such other foreign brands can negatively impact revenues and margin in the watches segment. INR currency fluctuation 50% of material cost in watches segment is exposed to currency risk. Sharp unfavourable movement in exchange rates hampers the selling price and limit the demand for its products in watches segment.

Initiating Coverage TCL ~ VALUATION Current market price factors all negatives for 97% of business
Watch and jewellery division contribute 97% of topline and 100% of FY13 bottom-line. In our view, the current market price factors in all the negatives possible for these 2 divisions viz., 1) demand slowdown across categories led by poor consumer sentiment; 2) RBIs action on restricting gold imports for domestic demand ; 3) Ministry of finance action of increasing import duty on gold imports to 10% making unofficial channel attractive ; 4) lowest EBIT margins in watches division led by INR depreciation and inability to increase consumer prices under current economic condition ; 5) lowest studded jewellery share of 16% in over last 20 quarters and jewellery segment margins at 14 quarters low due to fall in gold price on customer inventory (~ 1.3 tons of gold); 6) Decision to stop sale of gold coins/bars, to artificially improve margins by approx. 80 bps. Deserves 28x P/E multiple (~ 1.2 PEG) for a strong consumer highly profitable franchise We build conservative estimates and expect TCLs revenues to grow at 20% CAGR to `17935 crore during FY13-FY16E driven by aggressive expansion plans in the jewellery, watches and eyewear segment leading to strong growth in volume sales. We forecast margin accretion on the back of rising share of premium products in the overall product mix and significant turnaround in the eyewear segment leading to growth of 23% CAGR in bottom-line. However, we believe the market has factored in the negatives of gold import concerns and slowdown in consumer sentiment (stock down 23% from 52 week high). We initiate coverage on the stock with a buy rating and a target price of `300 per share. We value the company at 28x one year forward earnings. At CMP `239, the stock is trading at 26x FY14e EPS and 20x FY15e EPS Hence, we recommend a BUY on the stock with a potential upside of 25%.
