Strategic location provides inherent advantage
• West India has witnessed a robust cement demand growth of 7.7% CAGR during FY11-
FY15; demand growth of CAGR of 7.3% during FY16-18 expected.
• Capacity additions limited at 1.1% CAGR during the same period, cement prices to
remain firm.

Capacity expansion to fuel top-line growth
• Sanghi revenues to grow at a 3 year CAGR of 11.5% to Rs 1434 crore in FY19E
• While capacity has grown at a moderate pace of 8% CAGR during FY10-16, the
management has drawn up plans to double the existing capacity by FY22.

14. Sanghi Industries – Investment Rationale
Sanghi’s 5 year average EBITDA margin stood at 18.7%, nearly 350 bps higher than the industry
average during the same period.
Operational efficiencies provide the extra edge
15. Sanghi Industries – Investment Rationale
Captive thermal based power plant = fuel savings
• Sanghi has a 63 MW captive thermal power plant, with peak power requirement of 42 MW,
this translates to surplus power of 20 MW which can cater to future power requirements.
•Power cost per ton has averaged at Rs 1100-Rs 1200 per ton (similar to the industry average)
before dropping to ~Rs 900 per ton in FY16
Adequate limestone reserves ensure scalability
•Sanghi’s limestone mine has estimated reserves of close to 1000 MM valid upto 2046.
•Reserves are capable of servicing requirements of a 10 mtpa plant for 60-65 years.
16. Sanghi Industries – Investment Rationale
…However, freight costs high due to high lead distance
•Sanghi’s freight cost is Rs ~1200/ton, higher than the industry average of Rs 800 per ton

17. Sanghi Industries – Investment Rationale
Triggers for EBITDA margin expansion
i) Higher proportion of PPC cement:
The management aims to improve the OPC:PPC sales ratio which is currently at 75:25, to
40:60 in the coming two years.
iii) Subdued coal prices
Coal prices are expected to remain subdued in the near term, resulting in savings in fuel costs
for players in the cement industry in the near term.
iii) Sanghi will be able to save on freight costs post the commissioning of the captive port in
Surat
iv) Sanghi has plans to set-up a Waste heat recovery plant in the next 1-2 years: Waste
Heat recovery plants can yield 30-35% savings in power costs.
Accordingly, we anticipate the company to clock a EBITDA growth of 11% CAGR during
FY16-19 to Rs 328 crores by FY19, and EBITDA margin to expand to ~23% by FY19E,
from ~18% in FY16
18. Sanghi Industries Industries – Financial Outlook
We expect Sanghi’s revenues to grow at a 3 year CAGR of 11.5% to Rs 1434 crore in
FY19E on the back of an improved demand scenario and capacity expansion.

We initiate coverage on Sanghi as a BUY with a Price Objective of ₹107, representing a
potential upside of 56% over a period of 18 months. We have arrived at our target price by
assigning an EV/EBITDA multiple of 9x to FY19E EBITDA estimate of Rs 328 crores.

22. Sagar Cements– About the company
• Sagar Cements is a south based cement manufacturer with a cement capacity of 3 mtpa
and a clinker capacity of ~ 2.3 mtpa
• In FY15, it acquired BMM Cements for Rs 540 crores which has a cement capacity of 1
mtpa and a clinker capacity of 0.7 mtpa. In June 2016, Sagar received an approval to
acquire a 0.2 mtpa grinding unit of Toshali Cements for Rs 60 crores. It further plans to
increase the capacity of this unit to 0.3 mtpa. Post both these acquisitions, Sagar Cement’s
consolidated capacity will increase ~4.3 mtpa from 2.75 mtpa in FY16.

23. Sagar Cements– Investment Rationale
• Well poised to capture demand revival in the South
South India has witnessed a five year lull in cement demand. However, with the political resolution
of Telangana, limited planned capacity additions in the area and an anticipated pick-up in
construction and irrigation projects, cement demand in the south is expected to revive going
forward.

24. Sagar Cements– Investment Rationale
• Acquisition of BMM results in multiple synergies
In August 2015, Sagar completed its acquisition of BMM Cements for Rs 570 crores, funded
primarily from the profits booked through the JV.
About BMM:
Capacity: 1 mn ton
Location: Karnataka- Andhra Pradesh
Border
Capacity Utilization: 45% in FY16
Power: 25 MW Captive Power Plant
Limestone: 20 years mining lease granted
in 2016

distance as far off markets services
Sagar Cements,

Post BMM acquisition– Same markets can now

Reduced tax liability
25. Sagar Cements– Investment Rationale
• Acquisition of BMM results in multiple synergies
In August 2015, Sagar completed its acquisition of BMM Cements for Rs 570 crores, funded
primarily from the profits booked through the JV.
ii) Reduction in power cost:
• Unlike Sagar, BMM has a
25 MW captive coal based
power plant. With captive
requirements of only 10
MW, BMM has a PPA to sell
15 MW to AP Genco @ Rs
5.4/unit.
• Sagar is evaluating the
options of continuing its
contract with AP Genco
versus increasing captive
consumption.
Sagar’s power cost per tone reduced from Rs 1220 per tone in
FY15 to Rs 1120 per tone in FY16 owing to:
i) Captive consumption in BMM’s plant, and
ii) Fall in coal prices.

Limestone reserves adequate to support any expansions
Sagar’s limestone mine is within 4 kms of its plant. The mine has reserves of more than 1000
mt, which can serve Sagar’s requirements for 100+ years. BMM, too, has received a 20 year
mining lease in 2016, with reserves of 155 mt.
Well-thought out expansion strategy
With a hands-on management approach to the situation on the ground, they have adopted a
strategy to double their capacity every 12 years, timing it with the next up-cycle in the cement
industry.
