Emerging Investment Ideas


An End is Only A Beginning in Disguise

What a beginning we had in 2017! Full of surprises and unforeseen events, 2016 was a year of volatility, uncertainty,
ambiguity and confusion. Brexit, Trump election and of course Demonetization all swung the market sentiment. Who
could have thought of any of these events coming true when the year began? Though each of these events was capable
of having profound negative impact on the markets, but it didnt. In fact post trump election Dow Jones in one of the
sharpest rallies, has added Indias complete market capitalization of $ 1.6 trn to itself.

Ever since Modi rally began in Jan 2014, growth in India, as always, seemed just 2 quarters away. While this mirage
chasing continued in 2016, last 8 quarters of poor earnings growth, a stronger dollar and demonetization took its toll on
investor psyche. Be that as it may, markets dont move by looking in the rear view mirror. So it forces us to focus on
2017. While it may be fool hardy to predict growth timelines, one thing is for sure- that we are trading at very attractive
valuation. The interest rates in any economy are akin to the reins of the horse tighten the reins and horse slows down
and release it to let the horse gallop. 2016 saw one of the sharpest falls in bond yields ever. Consequently the interest
rate spread between 10 year paper and Nifty earning yields at just 40 bps is one of the lowest levels in last decade. This is
a strong and clear inducement to markets, that it is time to begin the gallop.

So what will be the trigger for the markets to recognize these fundamentals and respond? While there may be many, but
one which appears to be on the horizon is global growth. Global head winds are turning to tail winds. Developed
economies are witnessing growth and inflation uptick. The difference between EM growth rate vs DM growth rate is also
increasing again even adjusted for higher DM growth. While bullish equities is clearly a trend that we forecast for the
2017 what else of interest could play out. We foresee few large trends globally coming to some level of fruition.

Disruption in global automobile markets as electric cars, Uber taxi service and automated driving begin to take hold.
Globally about 90 mn automobiles are produced annually with most of the heavy lifting being done by just 10
companies or so. Industry at $ 3 Trn employing 60 mn people, is on the verge of serious disruptions. This could
seriously impact car demand as utilization of radio taxi is normally said to be 5x that of a privately owned vehicle.

Second will be the trend of disruption in energy sector. 65% of Global oil demand is focused towards transportation
sector. Of the 96 mn barrels of oil that world consumes daily, just a million barrel reduction in demand plays havoc
with demand and supply. This demand is under serious threat as electric vehicles take ground. This effect could get
further accentuated by the fact that shale with ever decreasing costs is anyway creating pressure on conventional oil,
as crude moves back close to 55$, close to the break even cost for shale.

On the domestic front pick up in manufactured exports in the textile sector in India could be a big trend.
Governments intentions in this regard are becoming clearer by the day with focus on rejuvenating the sector which is
the largest employer after agriculture.

As we move deeper into an eventful 2017 a stock market investor would do well to remember that while stock markets
trends are your friends till they last, but serious wealth creation could happen only with bottoms up stock picks.

Happy hunting.

Edelweiss Professional Investors Theme Day- Emerging Investment Ideas:- About the Event
Today we are living in a world of investment where Indian equity market is touching all time highs; but financial
performance of companies across the sectors is lagging expectations and therefore valuation is looking stretched.
Moreover, global uncertainty makes the equity market more events driven and hence highly volatile. Under such
circumstances, investors are struggling to find investment ideas which are rationally priced and can offer long term
sustainable return. In Edelweiss Professional Investors Theme Day- Emerging investment Ideas we bring in ten
companies from five different sectors which we believe will be major beneficiaries of recovery, experience growth going
forward and are attractively valued.

Low cost housing is the focus area of the Indian government and a lot of investment is expected to happen there. We
have identified two fast growing HFCs (PNB Housing Finance and GIC Housing Finance) with sound asset quality and
believe they would be major beneficiaries of investments expected to happen in the housing sector. With the increasing
political and economic uncertainty across the globe, gold prices have started stabilizing which will benefit Gold loan
NBFCs, like Manappuram Finance. After a long period of low demand and depressed pricing scenario, commodity cycle
has started showing initial sign of recovery. We have thus invited Graphite India - the third largest manufacturer of
graphite electrodes in the world, to share their growth story. Road and Infrastructure sector is the thrust area of the new
government; Dilip Buildcon, one the largest construction company in India known for its timely execution, will join us to
explain their strategy in the fast growing infrastructure segment. After the boom in service sector, its time that India will
capture high market share in global manufacturing space due to low cost advantage and man power availability. S.P.
Apparels and Indo Count Industries will share their views on the sector and strategy to capture growth opportunities.
Education is an evergreen business; Zee Learn the largest pre-school player will explain how a sustainable and profitable
business can be created around the schooling operation. Borosil Glass works, a leader in the glass ware segment will join
us to discuss their business, plans and strategies to capture growing discretionary consumption in India. We believe that
India will continue to have attractive investment opportunities arising from different emerging sectors and this event will
help identify such opportunities.

Borosil Glass work Ltd


Growing strong CMP INR: 6650
company was not able to scale itself owing to low aggression, legacy business of asset and wealth management being a part of the mainstream
BorosilNow
company reflecting poorly on the financials.
Sangeeta Tripathi Glass work (Borosil) is a brand with 50+ year legacy. The company is a pioneer in the specality glass
industry and is a market leader in microwavable kitchen glassware segment. The company is present in two
Research Analyst
segments- Consumer product division and the laboratory glass ware segment. Despite having strong market
+91 (22) 6187 9524 leadership position in the glass ware segment, and good product portfolio, the growth lagged the potential. Now
Sangeeta.tripathi@edelweissfin.com with the change in the management and Mr. Sheervar (current MD) coming on Board with fresh thinking and
enhanced aggression we expect growth momentum to expediate. Also the management is focusing and aims to
grow the business organically as well as inorganically. It has acquired two businesses (a) Hopewell in the
consumer product business (b) Klasspack in the scientific product business that caters to the pharma packaging
business. Along with increased aggression in the business, the company has also restructured its business. The
interplay of these positives along with companys effort towards divesting its non core assets is likely to result in
healthy earnings and returns performance ahead.
Bloomberg: BRSL:IN
Investment rationale
52-week range (INR): 8,702/ 2466 Market leader in the categories served Borosil serves two segments- Labware segment, wherein the
primary demand comes from the scientific equipment division and the consumer ware segment through its
Share in issue (crs): 0.23 range of microwavables kitchen glasses, tumblers, storage containers, lunch boxes etc under the brand
Borosil. Currently consumer business constitutes around 60% to the revenue and 40% comes from the
M cap (INR crs): 1509 Labware segment. The company is the market leader in each of the categories with over 60% market share.

Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 0.1 Acquisition of Hopewell Tableware to provide entry in the strong growth Opalware category- In order to
strengthen its consumer business portfolio, in Jan 2016, the company acquired 100% stake in Hopewell
Tableware, which is present in the Opalware category selling products under the brand Larah. Currently,
Opalware is an INR 300 crore market and is growing healthy at 20% + levels. The market is largely
SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) unorganized, moving towards organized and in that front LaOpala is the only leading player. With only one
organized player, this acquisition opens strong opportunity for Borosil to encash on its distribution network,
brand recall etc. The company sells its product under the brand Larah- by Borosil, and is available across
10,000 + retail touch points. The brand Larah has posted 68% yoy growth in 9MFY17, and presents
opportunity to reach margin in line with LaOpala (currently the company posted less than 1% margin, while
LaOpala posts upwards 30% margin), thus provides strong leg room for revenue and earnings growth ahead.
Public, 27.7
Restructuring of business to bring synergies, while monetization of non core assets to uplift RoCE-, Inorder
to restructure the business and bring down the cross holdings, the company has proposed to merge the
acquired company Hopwell , Vyline glass works ltd (this is a promoter company, that does third party
Promoter, manufacturing for Borosil), and Fennel Investment & Finance Pvt Ltd . The restructuring would reduce
72.3 related party transactions, reduce cross holdings, bring cost synergies and simplify the structure. Further the
company has started monetizing its noncore assets, that coupled with earnings upmove would uplift the
ROCE.
Risks
Failure to monetize on the Borosil brand name, reach and innovation
Lack of managements focus towards the business.

In-house execution strategy for speedy execution results in higher gross block (2x asset turnover) and stretched
working capital (140 days). DBL is operating at 67 construction sites, this enables DBL to build up stone chips

GIC Housing Finance Ltd.


Margin to improve through strategic shift in borrowing profile CMP INR: 302

Raj Jha GIC Housing Finance Limited (GIC) is engaged in financing for retail housing and LAP. GIC has major
Research Analyst presence in Tier II and III cities and focuses on lower income group clientele. GICs average loan ticket size is
+91 (22) 4272 2341 about INR 15 lakh with an LTV of 67%. Currently, the HFC has a loan book of INR 8,962 cr with total ~60
Raj.jha@edelweissfin.com branches as of Q3FY17. The Company is promoted by General Insurance Corporation of India. GIC has a
strong marketing team and tie-ups with builders to provide finance to individual borrowers.

Investment rationale
NIM expansion through strategic shift in borrowing profile and increasing share of high yielding mortgage
loans (loans against property)
GICHFL has been consistently increasing its share of lower-cost funding. The share of lower-cost was 23% in
Bloomberg: GICHF:IN FY15, which increased to 33% in FY16 and we believe that the company is capable increasing further its
money market borrowing, given improvement in rating from credit rating agencies. The company has
52-week range (INR): 354 / 205 witnessed 56bps expansion in NIM from 2.94% in FY12 to 3.50% in FY16. We estimate a 10bps expansion to
3.60% in FY18 driven by lower cost of funds and increasing share of high yield loans.
Share in issue (crs): 5.39

M cap (INR crs): 1,623


Increasing share of high yielding mortgage loans (loans against property)
GICHFL has been increasing its focus on non-housing loans (loans against property) which generates
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 154 higher margin as compared to housing loans. The share of non-housing finance loans has increased from
2.1% in FY11 to 17.8% in FY16. We believe that this will improve RoE from 17.9% to 19.9% over FY16-18E.

Robust growth trajectory to sustain going forward


SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) GICHFL has reported very robust set of growth metrics over the last few years. The AUM, NII and PAT grew
at a CAGR of 20%, 23% and 21%, respectively over FY12-FY16 and we expect AUM, NII and PAT to grow at
CAGR of 21%, 22% and 21% to INR 11,683 cr, INR 385 cr and INR 183 cr, respectively till 2018E.

Asset quality to improve


GIC has witnessed a substantial improvement on the asset quality front over the last five years. The Gross
Public, 57.8 NPA ratio has improved by ~102bps from 2.78% in FY11 to 1.76% by FY16. However, the HFC reported
marginal deterioration in Q3FY17 because of demonetization and not availing the RBIs dispensation.
Promoter,
42.2
Management has guided for a return to normalized levels by Q4FY17.

Risks
LAP has supported growth from 3-4 years and is now 17% of loan book. While low ticket size and low
LTV provide comfort but any major decline in property prices may dent asset quality and growth.

Valuation
At CMP of Rs 302, stock is trading at 1.9x FY17E P/ABV and 1.7x FY18E P/ABV.

Graphite India Ltd.


On an upswing CMP INR: 105 Target Price: 127

Salil Utagi Graphite India (GI), the worlds 3rd largest manufacturer of Graphite Electrode, is set to benefit from the
Research Analyst upswing in steel production owing to the Electric Arc Furnace(EAF) route, consolidation in the already
+91 (22) 4272 2319 oligopolistic Graphite Electrode industry and increased probability of passing on higher needle coke prices to
salil.utagi@edelweissfin.com steel producers. Industry-wide capacity utilisation is expected to stay above 80% in FY18E and FY19E, resulting
in positive operating leverage for the company. We expect GI to enhance its capacity utilisation to 90% in
Debashish Mazumdar FY18E/FY19E and hike prices by 15% in each year from a lower base of FY17E. On a consolidated basis, we
Research Analyst expect the companys net sales, EBITDA and net profit to grow at a CAGR of 9.9%, 17.4%, and 33.8%,
respectively over the FY16-FY19E period. We are valuing the stock at EV/EBITDA of 12x on FY19E basis for a
+91 (22) 4088 5819
target of INR 150.
deabshish.mazumdar@edelweissfin.com
Higher production through EAF and consolidation in Graphite Electrode industry to boost capacity utilisation
Despite expected fall (3% yoy) in demand in China, the largest steel consumer market (~50% of total), the World
Bloomberg: GRIL:IN Steel Association expects the global steel demand to grow by 0.4% yoy in CY17, as higher demand in India, North
America, the Middle East, and the European Union (EU) is expected to more than compensate for fall in demand
52-week range (INR): 110 / 65 from China. We believe that the incremental demand for steel will be met by domestic production in these
respective countries. This augurs well in view of the anti-dumping duties imposed on the Chinese products across
Share in issue (Crs): 19.54 the globe along with the announcement of 150mn tons worth capacity cuts in China. We also believe that EAF
production will get a fillip in CY17 since all these regions have EAF as the principle source of steel production. We
M cap (INR crs): 2,150
expect 6.2% growth in EAF production in CY17, which will lead to 8.7% growth in demand for Graphite Electrodes.
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE/NSE :(000): 300 The constrained industry capacity and higher demand for Graphite Electrode in CY17 would take the industry-wide
capacity utilisation level above 80% in FY18E and FY19E.

Pricing to improve due to consolidation and uptick in crude oil prices


SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) In the past 3 years, the global Graphite Electrode industry has witnessed industry-wide capacity reduction of
around 1 lakh tons along with industry consolidation following the acquisition of Graftech/SGL (1 st/2nd largest in
the world) by Brookfield/Showa Denko (3rd largest). We expect this consolidation in the industry to intensify in the
coming years, as players look to close high-cost operations to improve profitability. We expect capacity constraints
to shift the balance of power in favour of the Graphite Electrode industry from the steel consumers, leading to
better pricing power. Also, electrode prices move in tandem with the fluctuations in crude oil, as Needle Coke is a
Public, 34.8
crude derivative and accounts for 40% of the cost of manufacturing. The Needle Coke industry is also an
oligopolistic one and companies are now looking to increase prices, which are usually passed on to the steel
manufacturers with a lag of 3-6 months. At a consolidated level, Graphite Indias realisation/ton should rise from
$2674/ton in FY16 to 3006/ton in FY19E, still way below the peak level of $4795/ton achieved in FY08.
Promoter,
65.2
Strong balance sheet; attractive valuation for an industry riding an upswing:
We expect Graphite Indias consolidated net sales to grow at a CAGR of 9.9% over FY16-FY19E and 19.4% over
FY17E-FY19E, respectively. Positive operating leverage and cheaper power in West Bengal are expected to drive
profitability. EBITDA and net profit margin are expected to improve to 10.9% and 6.5% in FY19E, respectively from
9% and 3.9% in FY16. Despite higher working capital requirements, the company has net debt/equity of negative
0.1x. We are giving trading BUY on the stock and a target price of INR150, valuing the stock at 12x FY19E
EV/EBIDTA.

Investment rational
Penetration into new geographies and value added segments to drive revenues and margins respectively
Bloomberg: ICNT:IN ICIL is currently present in the Pillow Cases and Cotton Bed Sheets category. ICIL exports account for ~85% of its
revenue (~66% of exports to the US). The company has a ~20% share in the Indian bed linen exports to the US.
52-week range (INR): 217 / 135 ICILs revenue are expected to increase going ahead, as the company plans to penetrate further into new
international geographies such as UK, Australia, New Zealand, Japan etc. Going forward, the company also plans to
Share in issue (crs): 19.7 expand its presence in the remaining three segments i.e. Fashion (top-of-the-bed i.e. bed dressing, quilts,
comforters etc), Utility and Institutional which will aid in margin improvement.
M cap (INR crs): 3,337

Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 108 Niche capability, adherence to stringent safety & quality norms strengthen ties with marquee global retailers
Superior quality makes textile companies in India key players in major home textiles markets of the US, Europe and
the UK. In addition, Indias cotton surplus status allows easy availability of raw material. Indian textile exporters
are in a favorable position due to the competitive cost dynamics, skilled labour advantage and supportive
SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) government policies & subsidies.

Capacity expansion to reach 90 mn meters processing capacity in next quarter
Diversification of product basket within home textiles has led the need for capacity expansion. The company is
close to completing Phase I brownfield processing capacity expansion from 68mn mt to 90mn mt at a total cost of
INR 175cr. Capex is funded by a mix of Debt and Internal Accruals, with the majority portion being funded by
internal accruals. Phase II of capacity expansion is a mix of greenfield as well as brownfield expansion and will cost
Public, 41.1 INR300cr for upgrading existing spinning facilities, investment in additional weaving capacity (with specialized
Promoter, looms) and value added equipment's for the delivery of fashion and utility bedding. This phase will begin shortly.
58.9
Risks
Raw material volatility: Any volatility in prices of cotton and cotton yarn can lead to inventory losses.
Losing Suppliers: ICIL sources Yarn from the market and grey fabric either through toll manufacturing or from
the market. Although this model is cost effective, it exposes the company to supplier driven risks.
Geographic exposure: Currently, the US accounts for ~70% of ICILs revenues. Any change in import norms or
any import restrictions by the US would adversely affect the companys revenue.

130
Valuation
We believe that ICILs strong clientele, expanding product bouquet, entry into new export markets, shift in product
110 mix towards premium products, superior return ratios and backward integration are the key positives. We value
the stock at 12x FY19E giving us a TP of 220.

Manappuram Finance Ltd.


Micro and macro tailwinds in place CMP: INR 100 Target Price: INR 118

Shivaji Thapliyal Manappuram Finance Ltd is Indias second largest listed specialized Gold Loan NBFC with a Gold Loan AUM of
Research Analyst INR 12267 cr and a network of 3,293 branches. The company witnessed a perfect storm in FY12-14, when gold
+91 (22) 4272 2159 prices fell sharply and the regulatory environment worsened, leading to a -16% CAGR in its AUM. Since FY14,
shivaji.thapliyal@edelweissfin.com gold prices have stabilized and the regulatory environment has improved. Importantly, the company possesses
some unique advantages that are allowing it to grow AUM and win market share in the gold loan market, a
trend we expect to sustain going forward. Therefore, we recommend a BUY rating on the stock.

Investment rationale
Superior NPA and auction math due to Manappurams focus on products of shorter tenure
The theoretical risk of borrower default has fallen dramatically due to Manappuram Finances complete shift to
loans with a 3-month tenure cap.
Manappurams underlying gold holdings trend shows a robust operational backbone
Bloomberg: MGFL:IN
We looked at the gold holdings trend for Manappuram and noted its ability to grow gold holdings in the face of
falling gold prices. In FY14-16, Manappurams gold holdings grew at a CAGR of 15% even as gold prices de-grew at
52-week range (INR): 107 / 26
a CAGR of 4.7%.
Share in issue (Crs): 84 Manappuram has significant upside in operating leverage vs Muthoot Finance
Manappuram had made significant investments to grow its branch network to 3,293 branches by FY13. Its AUM
M cap (INR crs): 6,737
per branch of INR 3.9 cr compares well with INR 6.3 cr for Muthoot Finance, indicating significant scope for upside
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE/NSE for the company from an operating leverage perspective.
6213
:(000): Manappurams Non-Gold Loan portfolio highly synergistic
Manappurams strategy of focusing on Microfinance, small-ticket Housing Finance for the self-employed category
and Used CV Finance is highly synergistic in terms of branch network and target clientele. We also note that the
AUM per branch for Ashirvad Microfinance stands at INR 2.7 cr compared to INR 6.1-13.8 cr for key listed peers,
SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) leaving considerable upside from an operating leverage perspective.
Manappuram continues to win market share amid decreasing competitive intensity
Since FY14, Manappuram has been gaining market share even as certain non-specialized entities seem reluctant to
keep gold loan risk on their balance sheets. Manappuram has grown its market share from 6% in FY14 to 7.2% in
FY16 amid diminishing competitive intensity in the Gold Loan segment.
Promoter,
34.5 Manappurams branch presence in strategically important geographies gives it a distinct advantage
Manappuram has 1,778 branches in Rural and Semi-Urban centres compared to 304-851 for key competitors.
Further, it has 2,239 branches in South India compared to 389-874 for key competitors. Thus, it possesses the
optimal branch network to exploit the generic Gold Loan opportunity.
Public, 65.6
Manappuram a beneficiary of NBFC-over-Banks advantages, shift from informal to formal sector and positive
ultra-long term gold price outlook
Specialised NBFCs continue to maintain various operational advantages over banks, and as a consequence they
continue to win market share. The shift from the unorganised sector to formal lending will accelerate due to
Aadhaar and Jan Dhan coverage as well as demonetisation. Further, long-term outlook for gold prices remains
bright given the start of a new global price cycle, which is further supported by INR depreciation vis--vis USD.
400
350
Risks
300 A significant and sustained downtrend in gold prices can materially incentivize borrowers to default.
250 Unforeseen government intervention can impact potential borrower behaviour in using gold as collateral.
200
150 An outsized increase in the incidence of theft can lead to material unexpected losses.

44% for key peers. Their NCD is rated AA+ by CRISIL and CP is rated A1+ by CARE allowing them to keep

Sanghi Industries Limited


Strengthening Geographical Presence to Boost Margin CMP INR: 62 Target: INR 102

Raj Jha Sanghi Industries (SNGI) is a well integrated cement manufacturing player based in Gujarat with an installed
Research Analyst grinding capacity of 4.1MTPA, clinker capacity of 3.6MTPA and a 60MW multi-fuel power plant. Easy access to
+91 (22) 4272 2341 excellent quality raw material lends it the distinction of being the lowest cost cement producer in the state and
raj.jha@edelweissfin.com also leads to production of the best quality cement, which commands a price premium in the Gujarat market.
Moreover, the company is undertaking a comprehensive capacity expansion plan which will take total capacity
of grinding to 8.1mt, clinker to 6.6mt and power to 126MW. Additionally, in order to make inroads in the high
realisation Mumbai market, SNGI has set up terminals at Navlakhi in Gujarat & Dharamtar in Maharashtra and
also ordered 2 ships to cater to the market via the coastal route. Shipment via the sea route will prune
transportation cost by 40-45% and also boost realisation. We estimate SNGI to clock 14% revenue CAGR over
FY16-19 led primarily by higher volume CAGR of 8.6% and 5% realisation CAGR. The volume spurt will be
spearheaded by Mumbai and local markets. We forecast 22.5% EBITDA CAGR and 31.7% EBIT CAGR over FY16-
Bloomberg: SNGI:IN 19, while net profit surge is expected to be remain moderate because of next phase of expansion due to higher
capital cost.
52-week range (INR): 91 / 46
Proximity of plants to premium quality raw material lends distinct cost edge over peers
Share in issue (crs): 22 Proximity of SNGIs clinker plants to best quality limestone is the companys core strength. While availability of
abundant resources near the manufacturing site reduces transportation cost, premium quality of limestone (47-
M cap (INR crs): 1,370 48% CaCo3 content) leads to production of superior quality cement. Availability of premium quality raw material
within 3km of the plant and access to fly ash within 170km helped the company generate 93.3% gross margin.
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 316
Moreover, SNGI generates one of the highest EBITDA per tonne in the western market on account of: a) lower raw
material cost; b) lowest labour cost; and c) lowest power & fuel cost in the industry because of multi-fuel power
plant, own jetty to import coal & pet coke and availability of lignite within 43km range.
SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%)
Comprehensive capacity expansion programme burnishes prospects
SNGI has chalked out a comprehensive capacity expansion programme spanning Q4FY17 to FY20. The next leg of
capex entails 4mt grinding units, 3.3mt clinker capacity and a 63MW power project, which will take the companys
total capacity of grinding to 8.1mt, clinker to 6.6mt and power to 126MW. The upcoming capacities are anticipated
to reduce the lead distance because of enhancement of shipment from Kutch to Surat, Mumbai and Kerala.
Public, 25.0
Deeper inroads in lucrative Mumbai market to boost realisation and margin
Currently, SNGI sells 7.5-8k tonne cement per month in Mumbai, which is expected to catapult to 60k-70k tonne
cement per month, resulting 7.5-8.5lakh tonne per annum. Mumbais current market size is about 4mt per annum,
Promoter,
which is expected to jump exponentially as slum rehabilitation accelerates under PMAY and also construction of

the Navi Mumbai airport will provide another tailwind. Considering the opportunity pie, the company has set up
terminals at Navlakhi in Gujarat & Dharamtar in Maharashtra and also ordered 2 ships to cater to the Mumbai
market via the coastal route. Shipment via the sea route will prune transportation cost by 40-45% and also boost
realisation. As the per tonne cement realisation in Mumbai is much higher than in Gujarat and Rajasthanits
mainstay marketsSNGIs average realisation and margin are bound to improve from H2FY18

Outlook and valuations: Value play; recommend BUY


140 SNGI is currently trading at attractive valuation of 7.2x FY18E and 5.5x FY19E EV/EBITDA and an EV/tonne of USD
130 70 versus average of 11.4x FY18E EV/EBITDA and EV/tonne of USD90. We believe, it should trade at higher
120 multiple from current levels led by virtue of being a low cost producer and securing a long term contact for raw
110
material near to its plant. Based on 8.0x FY19E EV/EBITDA, we arrive at a target price of INR102 per share which
100
90 entails 64% upside.

S.P.Apparels Ltd
Embarking on a growth journey CMP INR: 425 Target: INR 550

Kshitij Kaji S.P. Apparels (SPAL) is Indias leading manufacturer and exporter of infants & childrens garments (knitwear
Research Analyst segment) in the 0-8 years category to UKs marquee retailers Tesco, Primark, ASDA, Mothercare and Dunnes.
+91 (22) 4272 2515 Although the companys growth has been subdued over the past 5 years, the recent balance sheet clean up has set
Kshitij.kaji@edelweissfin.com the stage for aggressive surge. Incremental orders from fast growing clients and expansion to new geographies
(US) are envisaged to yield sustained 18-20% top-line growth. Moreover, higher backward integration and
tailwinds from government incentives for textile exporters are anticipated to spur SPALs operating margin. We are
Praveen Sahay
convinced that burgeoning order book, entry in new export markets, and a lean balance sheet are key ingredients
Research Analyst
that will enable SPAL spin a commendable growth story.

Niche capability, adherence to stringent safety & quality norms strengthen ties with marquee global retailers
SPAL is a differentiated childrenswear exporter as it manufactures design-specific medium-sized orders of 20,000-
Bloomberg: SPAL:IN 50,000 pieces as opposed to competitors, which manufacture simple bulk orders of 1,00,000 plus pieces. The
companys USP is that it is actively involved in design development as its core competency lies in understanding
52-week range (INR): 450 / 276 latest fashion trends to suit customers preferences. Ergo, its realisations are almost 3x competitors. Also, SPAL has
proven its ability to adhere to highest standards of safety and quality norms which are mandatory for
Share in issue (crs): 2.5 childrenswear. This has helped establish its credentials and forge long-term alliances with UKs marquee retailers.
M cap (INR crs): 1,070
Revitalised balance sheet to spur garments division; Crocodiles expansion to spruce up domestic revenue
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 25 A high debt to equity of 5.0x in FY12 and 2.2x in FY16 offered SPAL very little room to pursue aggressive growth
despite burgeoning interest from potential clients. However, debt, which stood at INR392cr in FY12, has dipped to
INR175cr and the debt to equity has plummeted significantly to 0.4x currently. Hence, we estimate SPALs garment
division to post 15-20% CAGR over FY16-19 versus 7.4% CAGR over FY12-16 due to higher financial freedom.
SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) Moreover, we envisage Primark to spearhead surge and growth can be further accentuated by adding 1-2 more
non-UK customers. Expansion of the retail brand Crocodile in the domestic market is also bound to spur growth.

Backward integration and deleveraging exercise potent bottom-line boosters
SPAL has chalked out a comprehensive plan to utilise INR215cr of IPO proceeds to complete the backward
integration process and prune debt. The backward integration plan to change the count of spinning capacity to suit
its needs coupled with a new knitting facility and balancing of dyeing facility will help the company be full vertically
Public, 39.9 integrated. This will boost EBITDA margin by at least 200bps. Additionally, debt repayment of close to INR75cr will
Promoter, provide a further leg up to the bottom line, which is estimated to clock 46% CAGR over FY16-19.
60.1
Risks
Customer and geographic concentration risk alongwith risk of stagnating customer growth
Changes in domestic and international regulations and other events such as Brexit
Long term profitable growth in the retail division remains unclear.

Valuation
The future financial performance of SPAL will be very different from the past, post the financial transformation.
150 Several favorable tailwinds such as regulatory benefits, government incentives, new client additions and success in
their retail operations can surprise positively. Topline growth of 20%, operating margin improvement and
130
deleveraging should result in a high 46% CAGR bottomline growth from FY16 to FY19E and will trigger a re-rating.

Zee Learn Limited


Market leader and strong brand to drive growth CMP INR: 45 Target: INR 80

Praveen Sahay Zee Learn (ZLL) is Indias leading player in the education segment by virtue of having the fastest growing chain of
Research Analyst K-12 schools (Mount Litera Zee School) and Asias No. 1 chain of pre-schools (Kidzee) in its kitty. In FY16, pre-
+91 (22) 6187 9611 school (Kidzee) and K-12 school segments contributed ~70%+ and ~20%+, respectively, to the companys
praveen.sahay@edelweissfin.com revenue. Rising disposable incomes, burgeoning school age population and prudent franchise (in K-12 and pre-
school) additions over FY16-19E equip ZLL to clock 44% earnings CAGR. This, in turn, is bound to fuel healthy
cash flows and boost return ratios. At CMP of INR48, the stock is currently trading at 24x/19x FY18E/FY19E
EV/EBITDA, respectively. We initiate coverage with BUY recommendation.

Pre-school segment: Branded players control dominant share


In FY16, the domestic pre-school segment was pegged at USD2.5bn (up from USD0.75bn in FY11). Of this, the
branded players constituted 34%; Kidzee accounts for 33% of the branded pie. The domestic pre-school segment is
Bloomberg: ZLL:IN envisaged to grow to USD3.4bn by CY20, clocking CAGR of over 17%. With growing awareness of importance of
pre-school/play-school in upbringing of child in tier 2 and 3 cities, penetration rate for the pre-school segment is
52-week range (INR): 49 / 27 expected to rise to 25%. ZLL ensure and takes up the training of teacher recruits at franchisee schools, regular
safety & quality audits of franchise and discontinue the franchise on compliance issue as well.
Share in issue (crs): 32
Innovation, quality focus, diverse product portfolio entrench dominant player credentials
M cap (INR crs): 1,462
ZLL has invested considerable resources in developing learning designs, student learning materials and e-content
Avg. Daily Vol. BSE :(000): 0.1 for pre-schools and K-12 schools. Moreover, with rising scale and rationalisation of vendors, the company has
prudently managed cost of goods while simultaneously improving quality. We perceive these initiatives as potent
operating and profitability margin boosters.

SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) K-12 business India largest in world...growing at faster rate
The Indian K-12 system is the largest in the world with 253 mn students enrolled in 1.4 mn schools. However, with
inefficiencies in the government education system, has resulted in poor infrastructure both hard (buildings,
technology) and soft (teachers, pedagogy) and high drop-out rates. Thus, it is an opportunity to overhaul to
education system in the country for the efficient private players

Public, 32.7 Robust 18% sales CAGR over FY16-19E; healthy operations to spur cash flow
We estimate ZLLs net sales to clock ~18% CAGR over FY16-19E to INR246cr by FY19E driven by increase in student
enrollments in both the category schools and continuous schools addition. We forecast Kidzee to post ~20% CAGR
and continue to contribute ~70% to total revenue and Mount Litera to register 17% CAGR over FY16-19E mainly
Promoter, with increase in pupils. Moreover, we envisage robust operational performance to boost the companys cash flow
67.3 in the coming years.

Outlook and valuations: Scaling the growth highway; initiate with BUY
Rising disposable incomes, burgeoning school age population and prudent franchise (in both K-12 and pre-school)
additions over FY16-19E position ZLL to deliver 44% earnings CAGR, which will spur healthy cash flows and return
ratios. At CMP of INR 48, the stock is currently trading at 24x/19x FY18E/FY19E EV/EBITDA, respectively. We
initiate coverage on the stock with BUY recommendation and target price of INR80, valuing it on discounted cash
130 flow (DCF).

110 Risks
Complex regulatory environment.
90 K-12 schools must be operated as not-for-profit entities either as Public Trusts.
Franchise model.
