INVESTMENT THESIS
Mr. Sandeep Engineer (a Chemical Engineering Graduate) founded Astral Poly Technik Limited in 1996 with a vision
to manufacture pro-India plumbing and drainage systems in India. To avail latest technology and advance level
product development, he made strategic tie-ups with Speciality Process Ltd. and Lubrizol, USA. Mr. Sandeep
Engineer, founder and MD is credited to bring CPVC (Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride) Pipes in India almost two
decades ago. Company’s MD was able to envision the growth prospects for CPVC over Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes as
CPVC pipes are less expensive, lighter, easy to carry/install, and have longer life span. Despite these advantages,
CPVC pipes were a tough sell back then as the end clients were skeptical if it can replace Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes,
an industry standard in India during that time period. Lot of efforts was made by the MD who travelled across India
on a mission to convince and train its end users. The company undertook a series of initiatives, including some smart
price matching and training programs for plumbers. After several years of MD’s deliberation, self funding to keep the
company afloat and at one instance almost avoiding bankruptcy, in 2004, his hard work produced results as the
CPVC pipes finally started gaining acceptance to replace metal pipes.
The MD also wanted to avoid going only in the PVC pipes business as CPVC pipes can withstand higher

temperatures and are more durable. This move of MD to go straight from GI to CPVC pipes two decades ago is now
seen as a masterstroke as they had a head start and with the first mover advantage, aggressively scaled up their
capacity, distribution networks and dealerships across the country and now dominate the plumbing market.
Astral Poly Technik Ltd. is one of the top 10 returns generating companies in the Indian stock market during the last
10 year period.

Historically, Astral's management team handpicked by the MD has shown remarkable capital allocation skills and has
always on lookout for growth and expansion opportunities, where they can grow profitably and leverage their brand
and network and try to maximize the returns for its shareholders.
MD made the right decision of venturing into Adhesives category in 2014 by acquiring Resinova and Seal IT. In 2016,
Seal IT Services Limited, a UK based subsidiary of the Astral Poly Technik Ltd. entered into U.S. market by acquiring
silicone tape business of Rowe Industries Inc., USA. In 2018, Astral is entering into Double Wall Corrugated (DWC)
pipes and Infrastructure space through inorganic way where they feel this new category will take the company to a
new height in terms of growth and profitability while expanding the offerings for the market. MD has introduced
countless innovations in piping category and has always been ahead in the technology curve. Management focuses
on product quality and providing excellent customer service.
Company has made strategic acquisitions in the US and UK and expanded in Africa. Under the able leadership of Mr.
Sandeep Engineer, Astral Poly Technik grew multi fold in market capitalization and is now a Fortune India 500
company with its comprehensive range of piping & adhesives has presence in 4 countries, 10 manufacturing
locations and has 4000+ employees. Company has 750 distributors and 30,000 dealers in India penetrating the
plumbing market from metro cities to smaller towns.
Astral’s policy of Decentralization of manufacturing facilities will add to the top line and bottom line growth mainly
due to logistics advantage. Company with its continuous efforts on branding and creating additional network in
piping & adhesives will yield positive results in coming years. Astral’s Rajasthan and Hosur plants’ operations will add
to production capacity and will strengthen the presence in northern/southern markets respectively. Introduction of
products in India from US and UK operations and vice versa will add to the growth in sales and margins. Continuous
efforts towards introduction of new products in piping and adhesives will help in improving top line and bottom line.
Over the last ten years, company’s revenue had a CAGR of 28%, profit CAGR of 21%. We expect revenues to
continue to grow around 15% CAGR over the next 3 years. The company generates USD 300 M of revenues and can
be purchased for USD 1.4 Billion. It holds cash of USD 6 M and has debt of 26 M. Astral Poly Technik Ltd. with its
competent management is an excellent value opportunity and play on India growth story. Sustainable double digit
margins, solid revenue growth, and a shrinking valuation gap should drive the share price higher.

NEAR TERM (ONE YEAR) FAIR VALUE CALCULATION
Astral Poly Technik Ltd. has displayed consistent above average financial and operating performance in the past
decade. In FY2018, APTL’s net revenue stood at Rs. 2,106 Crore (USD 292 M) registering a growth of 15% CAGR over
the last 3 years. Net profit for FY2018 was Rs. 175 Crore (USD 24 M) with a growth of 32% CAGR over the last 3
years. This rise in sales and profit has been in part a result of the company’s increasing client base, cost cutting
initiatives, capacity expansion and stable utilization rate of 70%. All these factors when put together should help in
moderate re-rating of this stock from the current level.
Following fair value calculations reflect that it has an upside of 35%+ from the current level.
Current P/S is 5, Sales (TTM) is Rs. 2,164 Cr. and Current Market Cap is Rs. 10053 Cr. (USD 1.4 Billion)
One year Sales target (with a conservative est. 15% CAGR) of Rs. 2488 Cr. with a revised P/S multiple of 6 provides
us a market cap of Rs. 14,932 Cr. (USD 2 Billion), an upside of 35%+ with stock price of roughly Rs. 1200 from the
current price of Rs. 840.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
As per CRISIL Research, Present size of plastic piping is approximately INR 300,000 million which is expected to
grow at 14% CAGR for the next five years. Present size of CPVC Piping market is approx. INR 35,000 million in India,
which is expected to grow by 24% to 25% CAGR for the next five years.
The unorganized segment in the plastic piping industry accounts for approximately 35% to 40%. Goods and Services
Tax (GST) has given an edge to organized players over unorganized ones as leakage of tax revenue through the
unorganized sector will be plugged.
Present size of adhesive, sealants and building chemicals industry is approx. INR 130,000 to 150,000 million, which is
expected to grow at 13% to 15% CAGR for the next five years. India now happens to be one of the fastest growing
markets for adhesives because of growth witnessed in industries like auto, packaging, housing, etc.
Construction Chemicals industry in India has comparatively low penetration and hence high growth potential in the
future.
Demand for plastic pipes and adhesives is expected to grow mainly because of the following 3 factors:
1. Surge in construction and infrastructure development in metros as well as tier-II and tier-III cities because of various Central, State Government
and Municipal Corporation initiatives. (Target to build 50 million houses in the next five years).
2. Growth in the net disposable income of household due to GDP expansion and high rate of urbanization (36% in the next 3 years).
3. Investment in irrigation/agriculture sector is expected to increase at CAGR 12% to 13% for the next five years.

Astral Poly Technik does fairly well on our screening metrics and exemplifies traits of a solid investment opportunity.
Utilization rate is of 70%. Company has none of its shares pledged and has low D/E ratio. Trends on the above
metrics over a period of last 8 years have been favorable and consistent.
CATALYSTS
Astral Poly Technik Ltd. recent acquisition of Rex Polyextrusion Pvt. Ltd. will provide strong foothold in
infrastructure and construction industry.
RISKS AND CONCERNS
Raw Material Price Increase Risk: Astral imports 50% of its raw material which are linked to crude prices. Any
increase in raw material price and INR depreciation may affect margins of the company. Historically, company has
hedged this dual risk well and monitors price sensitivity analysis results carefully.
CONCLUSION
As soon as the big domestic and global funds starts tracking this company and realizes the company's consistent
financial performance (earnings growth, profit margins), the stock should attract broad investor interest.

To avail latest technology and advance level product development, he made strategic tie-ups with Speciality Process Ltd. and Lubrizol, USA. Mr. Sandeep Engineer, founder and MD is credited to bring CPVC (Chlorinated Poly Vinyl Chloride) Pipes in India almost two decades ago. Company’s MD was able to envision the growth prospects for CPVC over Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes as CPVC pipes are less expensive, lighter, easy to carry/install, and have longer life span. Despite these advantages, CPVC pipes were a tough sell back then as the end clients were skeptical if it can replace Galvanized Iron (GI) pipes, an industry standard in India during that time period. Lot of efforts was made by the MD who travelled across India on a mission to convince and train its end users. The company undertook a series of initiatives, including some smart price matching and training programs for plumbers. After several years of MD’s deliberation, self funding to keep the company afloat and at one instance almost avoiding bankruptcy, in 2004, his hard work produced results as the CPVC pipes finally started gaining acceptance to replace metal pipes. The MD also wanted to avoid going only in the PVC pipes business as CPVC pipes can withstand higher Join the discussion on SumZero by visiting sumzero.com/pro/research/ideas/16318

This move of MD to go straight from GI to CPVC pipes two decades ago is now seen as a masterstroke as they had a head start and with the first mover advantage, aggressively scaled up their capacity, distribution networks and dealerships across the country and now dominate the plumbing market.

Historically, Astral's management team handpicked by the MD has shown remarkable capital allocation skills and has always on lookout for growth and expansion opportunities, where they can grow profitably and leverage their brand and network and try to maximize the returns for its shareholders. MD made the right decision of venturing into Adhesives category in 2014 by acquiring Resinova and Seal IT. In 2016, Seal IT Services Limited, a UK based subsidiary of the Astral Poly Technik Ltd. entered into U.S. market by acquiring silicone tape business of Rowe Industries Inc., USA. In 2018, Astral is entering into Double Wall Corrugated (DWC) pipes and Infrastructure space through inorganic way where they feel this new category will take the company to a new height in terms of growth and profitability while expanding the offerings for the market. MD has introduced countless innovations in piping category and has always been ahead in the technology curve. Management focuses on product quality and providing excellent customer service. Company has made strategic acquisitions in the US and UK and expanded in Africa. Under the able leadership of Mr. Sandeep Engineer, Astral Poly Technik grew multi fold in market capitalization and is now a Fortune India 500 company with its comprehensive range of piping & adhesives has presence in 4 countries, 10 manufacturing locations and has 4000+ employees. Company has 750 distributors and 30,000 dealers in India penetrating the plumbing market from metro cities to smaller towns. Astral’s policy of Decentralization of manufacturing facilities will add to the top line and bottom line growth mainly due to logistics advantage. Company with its continuous efforts on branding and creating additional network in piping & adhesives will yield positive results in coming years. Astral’s Rajasthan and Hosur plants’ operations will add to production capacity and will strengthen the presence in northern/southern markets respectively. Introduction of products in India from US and UK operations and vice versa will add to the growth in sales and margins. Continuous efforts towards introduction of new products in piping and adhesives will help in improving top line and bottom line. Over the last ten years, company’s revenue had a CAGR of 28%, profit CAGR of 21%. We expect revenues to continue to grow around 15% CAGR over the next 3 years. The company generates USD 300 M of revenues and can be purchased for USD 1.4 Billion. It holds cash of USD 6 M and has debt of 26 M. Astral Poly Technik Ltd. with its competent management is an excellent value opportunity and play on India growth story. Sustainable double digit margins, solid revenue growth, and a shrinking valuation gap should drive the share price higher.

  • 9. NEAR TERM (ONE YEAR) FAIR VALUE CALCULATION Astral Poly Technik Ltd. has displayed consistent above average financial and operating performance in the past decade. In FY2018, APTL’s net revenue stood at Rs. 2,106 Crore (USD 292 M) registering a growth of 15% CAGR over the last 3 years. Net profit for FY2018 was Rs. 175 Crore (USD 24 M) with a growth of 32% CAGR over the last 3 years. This rise in sales and profit has been in part a result of the company’s increasing client base, cost cutting initiatives, capacity expansion and stable utilization rate of 70%. All these factors when put together should help in moderate re-rating of this stock from the current level. Following fair value calculations reflect that it has an upside of 35%+ from the current level. Current P/S is 5, Sales (TTM) is Rs. 2,164 Cr. and Current Market Cap is Rs. 10053 Cr. (USD 1.4 Billion) One year Sales target (with a conservative est. 15% CAGR) of Rs. 2488 Cr. with a revised P/S multiple of 6 provides us a market cap of Rs. 14,932 Cr. (USD 2 Billion), an upside of 35%+ with stock price of roughly Rs. 1200 from the current price of Rs. 840. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW As per CRISIL Research, Present size of plastic piping is approximately INR 300,000 million which is expected to grow at 14% CAGR for the next five years. Present size of CPVC Piping market is approx. INR 35,000 million in India, which is expected to grow by 24% to 25% CAGR for the next five years. The unorganized segment in the plastic piping industry accounts for approximately 35% to 40%. Goods and Services Tax (GST) has given an edge to organized players over unorganized ones as leakage of tax revenue through the unorganized sector will be plugged. Present size of adhesive, sealants and building chemicals industry is approx. INR 130,000 to 150,000 million, which is expected to grow at 13% to 15% CAGR for the next five years. India now happens to be one of the fastest growing markets for adhesives because of growth witnessed in industries like auto, packaging, housing, etc. Construction Chemicals industry in India has comparatively low penetration and hence high growth potential in the future. Demand for plastic pipes and adhesives is expected to grow mainly because of the following 3 factors: 1. Surge in construction and infrastructure development in metros as well as tier-II and tier-III cities because of various Central, State Government and Municipal Corporation initiatives. (Target to build 50 million houses in the next five years). 2. Growth in the net disposable income of household due to GDP expansion and high rate of urbanization (36% in the next 3 years). 3. Investment in irrigation/agriculture sector is expected to increase at CAGR 12% to 13% for the next five years. Join the discussion on SumZero by visiting sumzero.com/pro/research/ideas/16318

CATALYSTS Astral Poly Technik Ltd. recent acquisition of Rex Polyextrusion Pvt. Ltd. will provide strong foothold in infrastructure and construction industry. RISKS AND CONCERNS Raw Material Price Increase Risk: Astral imports 50% of its raw material which are linked to crude prices. Any increase in raw material price and INR depreciation may affect margins of the company. Historically, company has hedged this dual risk well and monitors price sensitivity analysis results carefully. CONCLUSION As soon as the big domestic and global funds starts tracking this company and realizes the company's consistent financial performance (earnings growth, profit margins), the stock should attract broad investor interest.
