1) Finolex Cables reported a 50.4% year-over-year increase in net sales to Rs. 493.1 crore for the first quarter of FY2011, driven by strong growth in the electrical cables segment. 2) Operating margins declined to 8% from 15.2% in the prior year quarter due to higher raw material costs, though margins improved sequentially. 3) Net profit increased 4.5% year-over-year to Rs. 23 crore for the quarter despite margin pressure, with sales growth offsetting higher costs.

Finolex Cables posted a strong 50.4% growth in top-line for 1QFY2011 to Avg. Daily Volume 181596
Rs493cr (Rs328cr), which exceeded our expectations. Sales growth was backed by Face Value (Rs) 2
robust performance registered by the electrical cables segment, which grew BSE Sensex 18,220
41.0% yoy during the quarter to Rs296cr (Rs210cr). However, OPM was muted at Nifty 5,461
8.0% (15.2%) though sequentially it improved by 97bp from 7.1% in 4QFY2010 Reuters Code FNXC.BO
to 8.0% in 1QFY2011. With strong growth in demand, we remain positive on the Bloomberg Code FNXC@IN
company. We maintain a Buy on the stock owing to attractive valuations.
Strong top-line growth, sluggish margins: 1QFY2011 sales increased with the Shareholding Pattern (%)
electrical cables segment recording strong growth. Copper rods and others Promoters 35.1
segments sales also surged, increasing 68.2% and 513.3% yoy, respectively. MF / Banks / Indian Fls 13.5
However, higher raw material costs hit OPM, which stood at 8.0% for 1QFY2011. FII / NRIs / OCBs 6.2
Indian Public / Others 45.1
Outlook and Valuation: Going ahead, we expect demand for low-tension (LT)
cables to remain strong given the positive outlook in the user industries. The EHV
and HT cables plants are expected to start contributing by FY2012E. We expect

sales to log a CAGR of 23.2% over FY2010-12E to Rs2,458cr. However, OPM is

10.2% to 10.0% in FY2011E and 10.4% to 10.2% in FY2012E. We expect PAT to

Segment-wise performance
The electrical cables segment posted strong growth of 41.0% yoy to Rs296cr
(Rs210cr) mainly on the back of higher realisations. EBIT for the segment came in
at Rs36.2cr, implying EBIT margin of 12.2%, which fell 867bp yoy mainly owing to
higher raw material costs. However, sequentially EBIT margins increased by
288bp.
The communication cables segment registered a 20.4% yoy decline in sales to
Rs42.7cr (Rs53.7cr). Margins of the segment fell from 15.0% in 1QFY2010 to
8.1% in FY2011, with EBIT coming in at Rs3.5cr (Rs8.1cr).
The copper rods segment posted sales of Rs339cr (Rs201cr) and EBIT of Rs3.7cr
(Rs2.2cr). However, most of these sales were inter-segmental in nature. Margins of
the segment came in flat yoy, at 1.1%.
Sales of the others segment grew to Rs55.7cr (Rs9.1cr). A substantial portion of the
sales was inter-segmental. The segment recorded EBIT of Rs0.7cr in 1QFY2011,
vis-à-vis a loss of Rs0.6cr in 1QFY2010.

Sales on a strong growth curve
The company has recorded a consistent increase in top-line since 3QFY2009,
when it was hit by the global economic crisis. Since then, sales have more than
doubled, increasing from Rs238cr in 3QFY2009 to Rs493 in1QFY2011. In the
future too, the company looks to posting strong sales growth mainly on the back of
demand revival in the economy.

Margins under pressure, but stabilising
Post 3QFY2009, when the company posted losses at the operating level, margins
improved to 16.5% in 2QFY2010 on the back of low-cost inventory. However,
since then, margins have been declining and for 1QFY2011 came in at 8.1%
mainly on account of the company’s decision to not fully pass on the higher
copper prices. On a positive note, margins improved in 1QFY2011 sequentially.

Profit set to improve going ahead
The company’s PAT has been fluctuating in the past few quarters mainly on the
back of the erratic OPM and forex losses. In 1QFY2011, the company posted PAT
of Rs23cr. Going ahead PAT is expected to further rise with the company
improving its sales and forex losses tapering off.

Management call – Key takeaways
The electrical cables segment volumes grew by around 10.0% yoy, whereas
the communication cables segment volumes grew by around 5.0%. The
copper rods segment recorded a strong 24.0% increase in volumes.
Growth of the electrical cables segment was primarily driven by the high-
voltage and power cables.
Construction of one part of the EHV plant, the joint venture of the company
with J-Power Systems, may get a bit delayed. However, the venture is expected
to be in a position to offer most of its products as per schedule.
The high-tension (HT) cables plant has received all the major approvals and
started sales. However, volumes are currently subdued. Management expects
this plant to pick up in the coming months.
August 10, 2010 4

5. Finolex Cables | 1QFY2011 Result Update
The company expects margins to improve in the ensuing quarters and targets
to end the fiscal with OPM of nearly 10.0%.
Investment Arguments
Poised for high growth going ahead: Finolex Cables is poised to register robust
growth over the next few years owing to strong growth in the existing LT cables
segment and entry into the HT and extra high voltage (EHV) cables verticals. In LT
cables, we expect the organised players to gradually gain market share as their
distribution reach expands and customers increasingly demand higher quality and
branded wires. Entry into the HT cables segment gives accessibility to the
generation and distribution segment, where the market opportunity is estimated at
Rs37,000cr over the next 10 years.
Tax benefits from Roorkee plant to help turnaround of the company: The company
has shifted a major chunk of production to its Roorkee plant, which avails excise
duty and income tax benefits. Owing to this, we expect excise duty and tax rates for
the company to remain low at 9% and 22.0% respectively, in FY2012E. The
company has further increased capacity of this plant by 50%. The proximity to the
growing north Indian markets and tax benefits availed by this plant are expected to
boost the turnaround of the company.
Major capex already undertaken: The company has already incurred the major
capex required to register growth over the next 4-5 years. Thus, on account of high
operating leverage and strong sales growth, we expect the company to increase its
net profit to Rs143cr in FY2012E from Rs58cr in FY2010.
Outlook and Valuation
We maintain our positive outlook on the company given its strong growth
prospects as demand from the user industries strengthens. The company’s entry
into the HT and EHV cables segments looks promising, with the HT cables plant
expected to start contributing to top-line earlier than we had anticipated. Going
ahead, with comfortable volumes, we expect the company to improve its margins
from current levels of 8.0% in the quarter.

expected to log a CAGR of 57.4% over FY2010-12E. We expect the company to
