Aug-16 Sep-16 Oct-16 Nov-16 Dec-16 Jan-17 Feb-17 Mar-17 Apr-17 May-17 Jun-17 Jul-17 Annual Report Analysis Page Industries Accumulate Despite demonetisation, Page Industries witnessed revenue growth of 18.7% YoY to ` 21,321mn in FY17. Implementation of GST will enable a shift from highly unorganized innerwear market leading to promising growth outlook for the organised market. Moreover, GST at 5% (for apparel below ` 1,000) is expected to have a positive impact on Page Industries volume growth and market position since a majority of its products are priced below ` 1,000 per piece. Page Industries with its strong brand recall of Jockey is expected to lead the market shift towards organised and premium innerwear segment. The company s strong in-house product development and manufacturing expertise combined with a very strong distribution network will support healthy sales growth and profitability in the coming years. Recommend Accumulate with a TP of ` 17,860. Apparel retail industry tuned for strong growth ahead Indian textile industry contributes to 10% of manufacturing production, 2% of India s GDP and to 13% of the country s export earnings. The share of apparel in Indian retail market is 8% with organised apparel retail contributing 21% of the total apparel retail. The innerwear market (comprising of the innerwear and the comfort wear market) is expected to grow at CAGR of 13% to reach ` 519.1bn between 15-. The men s segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9%, while, women s segment (~64% of total market share) is expected to grow at CAGR of 15% during the same period. With rising urbanization, high disposable income, a shift in market share from unorganised to organised players and increasing consumer preference for branded products, innerwear is expected to emerge as a promising segment in apparel retail. Page likely to take advantage of the acceleration Jockey brand is distributed in 1,400+ cities and towns and are available in >50,000 outlets spread across India. During FY17, the company through its authorised franchisees opened 101 EBOs including 5 Jockey Woman EBOs catering exclusively to women customers taking the total count to 360. We believe that the brand has strong recognition in the mid and high value segment and is a perfect match for the aspirational consumers. Going ahead, with the reducing price gap in the unorganized and organized segment, we believe that the branded textile segment in general and Page in particular would gain higher better traction.
