  Marico posted a disappointing set of numbers on both the Top-line and the              Investment Period                          -
  Earnings front. The Top-line for the company grew by 6% yoy, while Earnings
  displayed a flattish growth on a recurring basis, both of which were below our         Stock Info
  estimates. However, a Gross Margin expansion of 644bp yoy came as a                    Sector                                FMCG
  positive surprise. The Key Highlights for the quarter were a strong underlying
  volume growth of 14% and a continued slowdown in Kaya (flat qoq). After the            Market Cap (Rs cr)                     6,840

  valuations of 22.2x FY2012E EPS of Rs5.1. While we continue to remain
  bullish on the management’s ability and sound product portfolio to deliver             Marico            14.1        69.1     101.7
  consistent growth going ahead, near term concerns over Marico’s value
  growth (steep price cuts) and a slowdown in Kaya (key factors to monitor in
  the near-term), coupled with rich valuations, are likely to limit returns from the
  current levels. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

                 Volume growth strong at 14%; Price cuts curtail Top-line growth to a muted 6%

                 Marico declared yet another quarter of disappointing Top-line growth of 6% yoy to
                 Rs602.3cr (Rs566cr), below our estimates of a 10.8% growth to Rs622cr, owing to
                 steep price cuts. However, volume growth stood at a strong 14%, driven by price cuts
                 and promotional offers. Its core brands, Parachute and Saffola, posted volume
                 growth of 10% and 13%, respectively, for the quarter. Marico’s International
                 business continued to post a steady growth of 16% yoy (22% yoy adjusted for
                 currency movement) for the quarter. Kaya posted revenue of Rs45cr and a loss of
                 Rs5.3cr for the quarter, with same clinic growth dropping by 5% due to the recent
                 price hike (after the imposition of service tax in September 2009) and the economic
                 slowdown.

                 Gross Margin gains re-invested into Ad-spends; OPM expansion limited to 80bp

                 Marico witnessed a significant expansion in Gross Margins by 644bp yoy, as copra
                 and safflower prices were 20% and 22% lower, respectively, during FY2010.
                 However, Marico re-invested a majority of its gains into higher ad-spends, which
                 were up by 517bp yoy. Hence, the EBITDA grew at a muted pace of 13% yoy to
                 Rs84.9cr (Rs75.3cr). Adjusted for cautionary excise duty provisions of Rs1.2cr (for
                 dispatches of CNO packs upto 200ml) during the quarter, the EBITDA grew at
                 14% yoy.

Marico I 4QFY2010 Result Update


                 Recurring Earnings remain flat due to a low Tax base and one-off items

                 In terms of Earnings, Marico, posted a growth of 15% yoy to Rs51.1cr (Rs44.4cr), on
                 a reported basis, impacted by higher Taxes (due to a low base, treated loss on
                 Sundari closure as business loss in 4QFY2009) and a muted Top-line. However,
                 adjusted for one-off items like provision of impairment of assets/write-offs to the
                 tune of Rs3cr and a one-time loss of Rs5.7cr on closure of Kaya Life centers,
                 Recurring Earnings grew by a muted 0.7% yoy to Rs59.9cr, below our estimates of a
                 7.8% yoy growth to Rs64cr.

                 Modest growth in core brands, led by promotional offers and price cuts

                 Parachute coconut oil in rigid packs recorded volume growth of 10% yoy during the
                 quarter, aided by price cuts (reduced retail price of Parachute’s 50ml pack from
                 Rs12 to Rs10 in November 2009, and of the 100ml pack from Rs21 to Rs20 in
                 January 2010). However, Marico recently increased prices of the 200ml pack from
                 Rs39 to Rs40. For FY2010, the overall volume growth in Parachute stood at 7% yoy
                 (Flexi pouches, constituting 25% of Parachute’s sales in volume terms, posted a
                 marginal decline).

                 The Saffola franchise registered a steady growth of 13% yoy during the quarter and
                 16% for FY2010, aided partially by consumer offers on select SKUs. Adjusted for the
                 promotional offer, growth in Saffola stood at ~11% yoy.

                 International business registers modest growth of 16% for the quarter

                 The International FMCG Business grew a modest 16% yoy (22% yoy adjusted for
                 currency movement) during the quarter, and now comprises of around 23% of the
                 group turnover. In Bangladesh, Parachute commanded a volume share of about
                 75%. Hair dye code established itself as the second-largest hair dye brand in
                 Bangladesh. In the Middle East, both Parachute Cream and Parachute Gold hair oil
                 experienced healthy growth. Marico’s business in Egypt comprising the hair cream
                 and hair gel brands, Fiancée and Hair Code, achieved a growth of 19% during
                 FY2010. During 4QFY2010, Marico launched Parachute Gold hair oil in Egypt. The
                 new factory commissioned in Egypt in FY2009 has gradually begun taking over the
                 hair cream servicing needs of the Middle-Eastern region. Despite a difficult macro
                 economic situation in South Africa, Marico’s business in ethnic hair care and health
                 care performed well.

                 For FY2010, the International business grew by 36% yoy and crossed the Rs600cr
                 mark in turnover, led by 21% volume growth, 9% price-led growth and a 6%
                 favorable currency gain. The operating margins of the business stood at ~11%, and
                 have been steadily improving over the years. The company has also taken structural
                 initiatives to improve its margins in the International FMCG business.

                 Kaya to undergo consolidation; same clinic growth declines 5%

                 Kaya recorded a turnover of Rs45cr (flat qoq) and a loss of Rs5.3cr during the
                 quarter. Kaya continues to experience a decline in same clinic revenue in India,
                 which declined 13% during the quarter due to the recent price hike (after the
                 imposition of service tax in September 2009) and the economic slowdown. However,
                 same clinic revenue in the Middle East grew 17%. Consequently, the same clinic
                 growth for Kaya skin as a whole was a negative 5%. During 4QFY2010, Kaya
                 opened its first clinic in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It now operates 101 clinics: 87 in India
                 across 27 cities and 13 in the Middle East, in addition to the most recent one in
                 Dhaka.

Marico I 4QFY2010 Result Update


                 During 4QFY2010, the management also reviewed all its existing clinic operations
                 and decided to close down / relocate 7 skin clinics that did not hold long-term
                 potential, by June 2010. In the process, the company has estimated a closure cost of
                 Rs2.1cr (provided for in the 4QFY2010 accounts of Kaya). Due to its poor
                 performance, Marico has withdrawn the Kaya Life prototype from the market. The
                 net cost of the Kaya Life prototype during FY2010 is estimated to be about Rs 5.7cr
                 (provided for in 4QFY2010 in the books of account of Kaya, and disclosed
                 separately as an exceptional item).

                 For FY2010, Kaya’s skin business registered 15% yoy growth in revenue to Rs182cr
                 (Rs157cr), and incurred a loss of Rs12.3cr. During FY2011E, while Kaya plans to
                 add 3-5 clinics in the Middle East it is unlikely to open any new clinics in India. The
                 management is confident of driving double digit same clinic growth in Kaya in
                 FY2011E. It will focus on building long term sustainability rather than short term
                 results and has guided for a break-even only in FY2012.

                 Outlook and Valuation

                 After the disappointing Top-line growth on account of an evident lack of pricing
                 power (especially in a benign input cost scenario) and a disappointing performance
                 from Kaya, we have marginally revised our Top-line estimates downwards by ~2%.
                 In terms of Earnings, we have downgraded our estimates by 4-6%, owing to lower
                 Margins (due to higher ad-spends and weak pricing power) and a marginal jump in
                 the Tax rate (Management has guided for ~20%, as increase in MAT is likely to be
                 negated by the rising contribution of the international business, and production from
                 the new capacity in a tax-free zone).

                 At the CMP of Rs112, the stock is trading at rich valuations of 22.2x FY2012E EPS of
                 Rs5.1. While we continue to remain bullish on the management’s ability and sound
                 product portfolio to deliver consistent growth going ahead, near-term concerns over
                 Marico’s value growth (steep price cuts) and a slowdown in Kaya (key factors to
                 monitor in the near-term) coupled with rich valuations, are likely to limit returns from
                 the current levels. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

Marico Result Update

  • 1.
    4QFY2010 Result UpdateI FMCG April 28, 2010 Marico NEUTRAL CMP Rs112 Performance Highlights Target Price - Marico posted a disappointing set of numbers on both the Top-line and the Investment Period - Earnings front. The Top-line for the company grew by 6% yoy, while Earnings displayed a flattish growth on a recurring basis, both of which were below our Stock Info estimates. However, a Gross Margin expansion of 644bp yoy came as a Sector FMCG positive surprise. The Key Highlights for the quarter were a strong underlying volume growth of 14% and a continued slowdown in Kaya (flat qoq). After the Market Cap (Rs cr) 6,840 disappointing Top-line growth, on account of an evident lack of pricing power Beta 0.5 and expected consolidation in Kaya, we have marginally revised our Top-line and Earnings estimates downwards by ~2% and 4-6%, respectively. 52 WK High / Low 122/58 We maintain our Neutral view on the stock. Avg. Daily Volume 197,062 Top-line disappoints, Gross Margin expansion positive: Marico declared yet Face Value (Rs) 1 another quarter of disappointing Top-line growth of 6% yoy to Rs602.3cr, owing to steep price cuts. However, volume growth stood at a strong 14%, BSE Sensex 17,380 driven by price cuts and promotional offers. Its core brands, Parachute and Nifty 5,215 Saffola, posted volume growth of 7% and 13%, respectively, for the quarter. Marico’s International business continued to post steady growth of 16% yoy, Reuters Code MRCO.BO and Kaya posted revenue of Rs45cr (flat qoq). Marico witnessed a significant Bloomberg Code MRCO @IN expansion in Gross Margins by 644bp yoy, as copra and safflower prices were 20% and 22% lower, respectively, during FY2010. However, it Shareholding Pattern (%) re-invested a majority of its gains into higher ad-spends, which were up by Promoters 63.5 517bp yoy. In terms of Earnings, Marico posted a growth of 15% yoy to Rs51.1cr, on a reported basis, impacted by higher Taxes (due to a low base) MF/Banks/Indian FIs 7.6 and a muted Top-line. However, adjusted for one-off items, like a provision of FII/NRIs/OCBs 22.7 impairment of assets/write-offs to the tune of Rs3cr and a one-time loss of Rs5.7cr on the closure of Kaya Life centers, Recurring Earnings grew a muted Indian Public 6.2 0.7% yoy to Rs59.9cr. Abs. (%) 3m 1yr 3yr Outlook and Valuation: At the CMP of Rs112, the stock is trading at rich Sensex 6.6 58.0 25.0 valuations of 22.2x FY2012E EPS of Rs5.1. While we continue to remain bullish on the management’s ability and sound product portfolio to deliver Marico 14.1 69.1 101.7 consistent growth going ahead, near term concerns over Marico’s value growth (steep price cuts) and a slowdown in Kaya (key factors to monitor in the near-term), coupled with rich valuations, are likely to limit returns from the current levels. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.

    Marico I 4QFY2010Result Update Recurring Earnings remain flat due to a low Tax base and one-off items In terms of Earnings, Marico, posted a growth of 15% yoy to Rs51.1cr (Rs44.4cr), on a reported basis, impacted by higher Taxes (due to a low base, treated loss on Sundari closure as business loss in 4QFY2009) and a muted Top-line. However, adjusted for one-off items like provision of impairment of assets/write-offs to the tune of Rs3cr and a one-time loss of Rs5.7cr on closure of Kaya Life centers, Recurring Earnings grew by a muted 0.7% yoy to Rs59.9cr, below our estimates of a 7.8% yoy growth to Rs64cr. Modest growth in core brands, led by promotional offers and price cuts Parachute coconut oil in rigid packs recorded volume growth of 10% yoy during the quarter, aided by price cuts (reduced retail price of Parachute’s 50ml pack from Rs12 to Rs10 in November 2009, and of the 100ml pack from Rs21 to Rs20 in January 2010). However, Marico recently increased prices of the 200ml pack from Rs39 to Rs40. For FY2010, the overall volume growth in Parachute stood at 7% yoy (Flexi pouches, constituting 25% of Parachute’s sales in volume terms, posted a marginal decline). The Saffola franchise registered a steady growth of 13% yoy during the quarter and 16% for FY2010, aided partially by consumer offers on select SKUs. Adjusted for the promotional offer, growth in Saffola stood at ~11% yoy. International business registers modest growth of 16% for the quarter The International FMCG Business grew a modest 16% yoy (22% yoy adjusted for currency movement) during the quarter, and now comprises of around 23% of the group turnover. In Bangladesh, Parachute commanded a volume share of about 75%. Hair dye code established itself as the second-largest hair dye brand in Bangladesh. In the Middle East, both Parachute Cream and Parachute Gold hair oil experienced healthy growth. Marico’s business in Egypt comprising the hair cream and hair gel brands, Fiancée and Hair Code, achieved a growth of 19% during FY2010. During 4QFY2010, Marico launched Parachute Gold hair oil in Egypt. The new factory commissioned in Egypt in FY2009 has gradually begun taking over the hair cream servicing needs of the Middle-Eastern region. Despite a difficult macro economic situation in South Africa, Marico’s business in ethnic hair care and health care performed well. For FY2010, the International business grew by 36% yoy and crossed the Rs600cr mark in turnover, led by 21% volume growth, 9% price-led growth and a 6% favorable currency gain. The operating margins of the business stood at ~11%, and have been steadily improving over the years. The company has also taken structural initiatives to improve its margins in the International FMCG business. Kaya to undergo consolidation; same clinic growth declines 5% Kaya recorded a turnover of Rs45cr (flat qoq) and a loss of Rs5.3cr during the quarter. Kaya continues to experience a decline in same clinic revenue in India, which declined 13% during the quarter due to the recent price hike (after the imposition of service tax in September 2009) and the economic slowdown. However, same clinic revenue in the Middle East grew 17%. Consequently, the same clinic growth for Kaya skin as a whole was a negative 5%. During 4QFY2010, Kaya opened its first clinic in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It now operates 101 clinics: 87 in India across 27 cities and 13 in the Middle East, in addition to the most recent one in Dhaka.

    Marico I 4QFY2010Result Update During 4QFY2010, the management also reviewed all its existing clinic operations and decided to close down / relocate 7 skin clinics that did not hold long-term potential, by June 2010. In the process, the company has estimated a closure cost of Rs2.1cr (provided for in the 4QFY2010 accounts of Kaya). Due to its poor performance, Marico has withdrawn the Kaya Life prototype from the market. The net cost of the Kaya Life prototype during FY2010 is estimated to be about Rs 5.7cr (provided for in 4QFY2010 in the books of account of Kaya, and disclosed separately as an exceptional item). For FY2010, Kaya’s skin business registered 15% yoy growth in revenue to Rs182cr (Rs157cr), and incurred a loss of Rs12.3cr. During FY2011E, while Kaya plans to add 3-5 clinics in the Middle East it is unlikely to open any new clinics in India. The management is confident of driving double digit same clinic growth in Kaya in FY2011E. It will focus on building long term sustainability rather than short term results and has guided for a break-even only in FY2012. Outlook and Valuation After the disappointing Top-line growth on account of an evident lack of pricing power (especially in a benign input cost scenario) and a disappointing performance from Kaya, we have marginally revised our Top-line estimates downwards by ~2%. In terms of Earnings, we have downgraded our estimates by 4-6%, owing to lower Margins (due to higher ad-spends and weak pricing power) and a marginal jump in the Tax rate (Management has guided for ~20%, as increase in MAT is likely to be negated by the rising contribution of the international business, and production from the new capacity in a tax-free zone). At the CMP of Rs112, the stock is trading at rich valuations of 22.2x FY2012E EPS of Rs5.1. While we continue to remain bullish on the management’s ability and sound product portfolio to deliver consistent growth going ahead, near-term concerns over Marico’s value growth (steep price cuts) and a slowdown in Kaya (key factors to monitor in the near-term) coupled with rich valuations, are likely to limit returns from the current levels. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the stock.
