On comparable basis the revenue grew by 19% YoY. During the quarter COLPAL reported strong volume growth of 12% which is highest is last 7-8 quarters, this volume growth was mainly driven by strong performance by Swarna Vedshakti. During the quarter the company continues to maintain its leadership position in both the Toothpaste and Toothbrush categories with volume market share of 53.7% and 45.1% respectively. During 9MFY18, revenue stood at INR 32,367.6 Mn which de-grew by 3.2% YoY. Margins Improved due to Lower Expenses: We had anticipated that the new GST tax regime will help organized players to improve margins on back of lower Logistics and lower tax expenses; these benefits are evident in the quarter results. During Q3FY18, COLPAL maintained its profit levels and posted EBIDTA of INR 2,824.2 Mn with growth of 31.9% YoY. EBIDTA margins remained at 27.3% which improved by 574 bps YoY. PAT during Q3FY18 was at INR 1,706.5 Mn with growth of 33.5% YoY and degrowth of 3.9% QoQ. PAT margins saw improvement of 362 bps YoY and 15 bps QoQ with margins at 16.5%. EBITDA for 9MFY18 stood at INR 8,048.5 Mn which grew by 15% YoY and margins were at 24.9%, increased by 393 bps. PAT during 9MFY18 was INR 5,658.4 Mn which grew by 30.1% YoY and margins were at 17.5%, increased by 448bps YoY. Losing market share: Colgate-Palmolive India Ltd (COLPAL) still remains the market leader in both its oral category toothpaste and tooth-brush. Its volume market share for Toothpaste stood at 53.7% in Q3FY18 as compared to 54% in Q2FY18 which is an decrease in market share by 30 bps QoQ and market share for Toothbrush stood at 45.1% in Q3FY18 as compared to 45.5% in Q2FY18 which increased by 30 bps QoQ. This loss in share is mainly because of competition from other players which are gaining in market share. However, COLPAL is aggressively investing in branding to maintain its leadership which has enabled it to achieve robust volume growth of 12% during the quarter. Valuations & Views: Colgate Palmolive India Ltd has continued to be a market leader in oral care products category (like tooth paste, tooth brush, etc). We believe that it has been most trusted brand among consumers but still it is losing out on revenue and market share due to tough competitions from other players like Patanjali, etc. Its strategy remains to enter new segments and innovate new products from salt, neem, ayurvedic products etc., besides focusing on core segment. Going ahead in FY19E and FY20E, we estimate revenue growth of around 7-9%, with improvement in EBIDTA margins at around 21-22% and PAT margins to be around 13.5% in FY19E & FY20E. At CMP INR 1,120, the stock is trading at EPS of INR 29.1 for FY20E. We are upgrading our target price to INR 1,200 and recommend ACCUMULATE rating on the stock with a potential upside of 7.1%. 7.9% Revenue CAGR between FY1 and FY20E A Befitting Result Sales 39, , , , , ,945.0 EBITDA 8, , , , , ,967.9 PAT 5, , , , , ,900.1 EBITDA Margins % 20.7% 21.6% 20.9% 21.6% 22.1% 22.0% PAT Margins % 14.1% 13.4% 12.8% 13.4% 13.6% 13.4% EPS ROE 71.8% 56.4% 45.3% 46.9% 45.4% 41.7% PE % PAT CAGR between FY16 and FY20E 2
