2) Intrasoft, arguably, is playing in a bigger target market than D-Mart and is likely to have an edge in pricing, the premium of which is offset
by its dependence on a large operator in the market

9 February 2018 Intrasoft Technologies – Q3 weak, but guidance for a strong FY19; maintaining a Buy

Conference Call Takeaways


Company
 A few things which have contributed to margin contraction in the
quarter: 1) one of the largest offline toy retailers went bankrupt, leading
to steep discounting across toy categories. The company didn’t offer
aggressive discounts and reduced sales in that category against earlier
expectations (because of this ~8-10% of sales were compromised in
Q3), 2) the Indian portion of the business was hit by `5m by the rupee
appreciating and 3) in Q3 FY17, it was in the midst of a structural
change, which had led to a slowdown in adding products and hence
higher margins, while compromising on sales growth. From Q3 FY18,
it has started to make fresh investments to add products, which
resulted in lower margins and higher sales growth.
 The company has built a forecasting engine which tells it how much
inventory a company should keep. In Q3 FY18 it had ~$2.1m of old
inventory (of toys) on its books whereas $0.8m worth of new inventory
was bought. Management does not expect this to be written down.
 Greeting cards bring less than 1% to revenue and don’t impact overall
margins.
 The company will be a key beneficiary of the tax-rate cut in the US.
The FY19 effective tax rate could be 21-22%.
 It is focusing on reducing inventory days and increasing payable days
(through supplier credit). This helps it reduce capital required.
 It continues to invest in building technology infrastructure to enhance
revenue productivity.
Business outlook
 Though Q3 FY18 was bruising, the company is upbeat about achieving
its previous guidance of ~30-35% revenue growth in FY18, as it sees
no change in the growth momentum. Cash-flow is good enough for
any investment opportunity.
 It anticipates sales growth to accelerate in Q4 FY18. For this, it has
increased inventory levels.
Notes from the last quarters’ conference calls
From Q2 FY18
 Intrasoft continued its focus on improving supplier credit. However, a
build-up in inventory for the forthcoming holiday season has resulted
in an increase in payable days from eight in Q1 to 10 in Q2 FY18,
which will be reversed after the holiday season.
 At present, it is not looking for any geographical expansion.
 Its strategy is to add suppliers and products within its present
categories and widen its reach by adding marketplaces.

9 February 2018 Intrasoft Technologies – Q3 weak, but guidance for a strong FY19; maintaining a Buy

Valuations
 We value Intrasoft on a PE of 25x FY20e EPS (same as before) and
retain our Buy recommendation, with a revised target price of `750
(earlier `710). We are valuing it on PE as it has consistently been
profitable and does not intend to rely on external capital (or
continuous losses) to generate growth. Given the immense e-
commerce market and the current company size, growth doesn’t seem
to be a problem. We see the growth momentum persisting in FY19 and
FY20. Management believes that the growth rate will be 30-35% in
FY18.
 Over the years, the company has evolved into one of the faster-
growing 3P retailers in the US by building strong relationships with
vendors, and through its superior customer service and logistics
abilities. We expect it to deliver good returns to investors as its sales
momentum endures and it achieves meaningful scale. The company is
right now prioritizing growth over profits and hence, some margin
volatility cannot be ruled out. This we are factoring into our FY20
estimates, where lower tax rates are assumed to be partially passed on
to customers in order to stimulate growth.

Risks
 Business-environment risk: Intrasoft sells products in the US
through its 3P re-selling brand, Stores123, on Amazon as well as
through its own website. Controlling the business environment
currently are e-commerce platform-owners such as Amazon; hence,

Anand Rathi Research 7


9 February 2018 Intrasoft Technologies – Q3 weak, but guidance for a strong FY19; maintaining a Buy

pricing power and customer loyalty lie with them. But 3P operators
also play an important role in a platform owner’s scaling up; hence,
there is a case for an enduring profitable business.
 Client-concentration risk: There is the possibility of Amazon, the
largest customer and dominant in global e-commerce, dealing directly
with manufacturers (of popular products).
 Product-liability risk: Intrasoft only sells brand-named products
registered with the US government. Even though its liability is only
limited to transit, a fault in products could damage perception in the
US of its brand.
