1 ITC Limited 1Q FY13: Good earnings delivery led by healthy cigarette EBIT growth Overweight ITC.BO, ITC IN Price: Rs Price Target: Rs Previous: Rs ITC reported good 1Q FY13 performance with in-line sales and better-thanexpected earnings. Net sales, EBITDA and PAT witnessed growth of 15%, 23% and 2 respectively. Robust cigarette EBIT growth led by pricing was the key earnings driver. We believe ITC should remain a core long-term holding given steady cigarette EBIT growth, improving profitability of other FMCG business, high FCF generation and potential for higher dividend payout. The stock has run up 26% YTD (trading close to the high end of its historical valuation band) and we would seek better entry points. In current uncertain markets, however, we see it as one of the better defensive holdings. Pricing continues to drive healthy cigarette EBIT growth. ITC reported 15% cigarette sales growth led entirely by pricing and estimated flat volume growth (better than our estimates). Pricing benefits and operating leverage aided margin expansion of 140bp y/y for cigarettes leading to robust 2 EBIT growth. We expect volume sluggishness to continue in the near term as consumers accommodate steep price increases made since Mar 12. We believe pricing will continue to support mid-to-high-teen EBIT growth for cigarettes over the medium term we estimate 17% cigarette EBIT CAGR over FY ITC has rolled out cigarettes with 64mm length at price points of Rs2-2.5/stick in some states (in test phase) and we would expect clear strategy on this front to pan out over next few months. Other FMCG continues to register healthy sales growth and reduction in losses. Sales growth of 23% and losses declined 49% y/y driven by better scale, price/mix growth and improved profitability across foods, stationary and personal care segments. We expect this trend to continue and expect other FMCG division to turn around in FY14 on profitability front. India Tobacco Latika Chopra, CFA AC J.P.

While the hotel division continues with disappointing performance owing to macro headwinds (sales up +1%, EBIT 49%), agri business had a subdued quarter (sales 1%, EBIT +9%) owing to lower demand and muted pricing for leaf tobacco exports. Paper business however benefited from better mix leading to 17% EBIT growth.

3 Cigarettes Impressive EBIT growth Cigarette sales growth of 15% y/y was better than our expectations entirely led by pricing. We estimated flat volume growth for the quarter. Product mix was largely stable. EBIT margins surprised positively, with margins expanding 140bp y/y driven by healthy pricing growth. EBIT growth as a result was robust at 2 y/y for cigarettes. ITC has rolled out cigarettes with 64mm length at price points of Rs2-2.5/stick in some states (in test phase) and we would expect clear strategy on this front to pan out over next few months. We believe pricing will continue to support mid-to-high-teen EBIT growth for cigarettes over the medium term we estimate 17% cigarette EBIT CAGR over FY Figure 1: Cigarette sales and growth trends Rs in mn, % Figure 2: Cigarette EBIT and growth trends Rs in mn, % 60,000 55,000 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20, % 16% 14% 12% 8% 6% 4% 2% 20,000 18,000 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 25% 2 15% 5% Cigarette Sales Cigarette Sales growth Cigarette EBIT Cigarette EBIT growth Other FMCG: Healthy sales growth and loss reduction continues Other FMCG division posted strong sales growth of 23% y/y driven by product portfolio premiumisation and healthy volume growth across foods and personal care segments. ITC expanded its personal product range with launch of Vivel Summer Fair. Aashirvaad (wheat flour) portfolio continued to improve realizations as well as margins with higher contribution from premium variants Multi Grain and Select. In the Snacks segment, the company is introducing Tangles and new Bingo! variants into more markets after witnessing a healthy performance post launch. In the biscuits segment, Sunfeast saw good growth towards the premium end of the portfolio. Company also launched a new premium variant in biscuits during the quarter. 3

4 Profitability for the segment improved significantly with EBIT losses for other FMCG 2.6% of sales (-49% y/y) in a seasonally weak margin quarter. Margin improvement was driven by better scale, price/mix growth and improved profitability across foods, stationary and personal care segments. We expect this trend to continue and expect other FMCG division to turnaround in FY14E on profitability front.

Sales growth was weaker on account of persisting tough macro coupled with higher capacity creation on the supply side. EBIT saw a sharp decline of -49% y/y as margins fell to 11% (vs 22% in base qtr). Margins were impacted by lower utilization rates and preopening expenses related to Chennai Hotel which is yet to be commercialized. Company's new hotel at Chennai has been completed and is waiting for government approval to start operations. Construction for new properties in Kolkata and Gurgaon is progressing satisfactorily. Company also acquired a 99 year land lease in Colombo from Sri Lankan government to develop a hotel property. 4
