Volume growth for the quarter was at 10.6%. However, realisation grew 4% to 130 a piece. The YoY growth rate was lowest since FY10, which was impacted by a delay in rollout of new product range in its sports (leisure) segment. The number of pieces sold stood at 34 million (mn) pieces compared to 29 mn in and 30 mn pieces in EBITDA for the quarter grew 35% QoQ (12.3% YoY) to 93.2 crore (Idirect estimate: 105 crore). On the margin front, the EBITDA margin degrew 60 bps YoY to 21.3%. The impact of an increase in royalty expenses, which increased 70 bps YoY to 5.7% of sales, would continue to keep margins pressurised PAT was up 16.4% YoY (34% QoQ) to 63.2 crore (Idirect estimate: 69 crore). Higher other income were tailwind for the growth rate Proficient distribution model leading to widespread reach Jockey distribution model is aptly spread across various exclusive brand outlets (EBO), large format stores (LFS), multi brand outlets (MBO) and traditional hosiery/multipurpose stores. Currently, the company has a panindia reach through approximately 30,000 retail outlets, 193 EBOs and has tieups with several ecommerce companies. During FY1015, revenues grew at a CAGR of 35% YoY, supported by volume growth of 19.5% over the same period. With frontend expansion, the company is also ramping up its manufacturing capacity, which increased from 2.2 crore pieces in FY07 to 19.4 crore pieces in FY15. We believe the company will continue its growth trajectory and expect sales volume to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% YoY to 28 crore units over FY1520E. EBOs, new products from house of Jockey In FY15, the company opened 59 EBOs under Jockey brand and two EBOs under Speedo brand. The company has an annual run rate of opens 2025 new EBOs, which would bring in incremental revenues. Furthermore, during the same period, it has opened three EBOs in UAE and one in Sri Lanka. Every year, Page launches 2025 new SKUs in each of the categories, which provides a refresh to its customers. The company is also planning a new international retail format for its incremental stores in which the ground floor would display only women s product range and the first floor will showcase the men s and kids products. With the introduction of premium products Page has managed to successively increase the average realisation price at a CAGR of 13% YoY in FY1015. This has cushioned the company from rising input costs, on the back of which, it has maintained it operating margins at ~20%. Tapering revenue growth; modifying valuations We believe that as the larger base effect catches up, the incremental growth rate for the company would taper on the back of which we revise our volume and realisation estimations and expect volumes to grow at a CAGR of 18% YoY to 27 crore units and realisation to grow at a CAGR of 9% over the same period. We retain our belief in the company s growth story. However, we are a bit cautious given its current valuations. We validate a DCF based valuation to arrive at a target price of 14250 and have a HOLD recommendation on the stock. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research

We expect the growth rate to slow down to 29% during FY1520E owing to a larger base effect. We expect both volumes as well as realisation to aid this growth. Considering that the penetration of branded innerwear is significantly low in India and that Indians spend significantly lower on innerwear compared to their Asian peers, we do not anticipate any roadblocks in the company s growth plans. Continuous capacity addition and entry into newer markets is likely to further aid growth. 3.0 2.1 0.7 8.6 3.7 2.4 0.9 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16E FY17E Men Bra Women Sports 9.9 Exhibit 2: with realisation likely to grow 11% per piece 250 200 150 100 50 168 177 118 62 70 49 58 127 191 192 145 151 80 83 95 235 212 182 191 258 205 105 113 123 72 80 77 81 87 92 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16E FY17E Men Bra Women Sports 219 Exhibit 3: Men s segment witnesses volume growth of 8% YoY Exhibit 4: while women s segment grew at 16% YoY 25 20 15 10 5 17.6 16.0 15.4 12.6 18.3 19.6 17.7 17.5 19.8 120 100 80 60 40 20 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 4.5 4.0 4.0 3.6 5.1 4.5 4.3 4.4 5.9 90 80 70 60 50 Q1FY16 Q1FY16 Volumes (in Mn pcs) Realisation ( ) (RHS) Volumes (in Mn pcs) Realisation ( ) (RHS) Exhibit 5: Brassiere segment grows at 36% YoY, albeit on small base Exhibit 6: Leisure wear (adjusted socks) grows at 4% YoY 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 1.0 1.0 1.1 1.0 1.3 1.4 1.2 1.3 1.8 260 250 240 230 220 210 200 190 180 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 4.7 4.7 5.3 5.0 4.0 5.8 6.3 5.9 4.2 270 220 170 120 Q1FY16 Q1FY16 Q1FY16 Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com, Research Volumes (in Mn pcs) Realisation ( ) (RHS) Volumes (in Mn pcs) Realisation ( ) (RHS) ; (impact of exclusion of socks in Q1FY16) ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 3

Capacity addition to continue Page has continuously expanded capacities in line with the growing demand for its products. Page s capacity has increased from 2.2 crore pieces in FY07 to 19.4 crore pieces in FY15. We expect the same to go up to 27 crore pieces by FY17E. As the company is absent in a highly capital intensive segment, Page has been comfortably able to fund the same through internal accruals. We expect the same to continue, going forward. With the current rate of capacity addition, the company is only able to cater to the Indian markets despite holding licenses for Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and UAE as well. In a scenario when Indian demand starts to flatten out, the company can access these markets for growth opportunities.

The company does not take aggressive price hikes despite strong demand and believes in taking price hikes to the tune necessary to maintain its operating margins. Though the operating margin has touched 21.1% (in FY15) owing to benefits of removal of excise duty, we expect Page to maintain margins at current levels i.e. ~21% over next two years.

Wide range of product categories PAT to grow on the back of healthy topline growth Owing to a healthy topline growth and fairly stable margins, the company has been able to grow PAT consistently. We expect the same to continue, going forward. Page s PAT has increased at a CAGR of 38% in FY1015. We expect it to report growth of 33% in FY1517E.

Dividend payouts to be maintained Over the years, Page has maintained a dividend payout in excess of 40%. Despite the continuous capacity addition, the company has been able to maintain this owing to the strong cash generated in the business. We expect this to continue and also expect the payout to increase to ~50% during FY1517E.

Valuation We believe changing demographics will continue to work in favour of consumption oriented companies like Page Industries. The company will be a beneficiary of the shift from unbranded to branded products. Apart from local demand, Page has licenses to cater to countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and UAE. Currently, Page s exports are negligible and the company will be able to explore export opportunities as and when domestic demand begins to dry up. The stock has also faced some concerns that the company will need to resort to debt in order to be able to maintain its current dividend payout and capex requirements. The company incurs a capex of 3040 crore each year and pays out 5060 crore in the form of dividends. With cash from operations of ~ 100 crore, the company should be able to maintain the payout as well as the capacity addition without needing to raise substantial debt. Most of the debt that the company raises is typically towards working capital requirements. Given the unorganised nature of the Indian hosiery market, Page Industries with its strong brand recall of Jockey is expected to lead the market shift towards organised and premium innerwear segment. We anticipate the growth will be multipronged (growth in brassier and leisure segment together with women s wear besides the men s innerwear segment) and long drawn as the industry moves towards more organised segment. To capture this growth, we shift towards three phase discounted cash flow based valuation. We expect Page Industries to maintain its high growth trajectory with revenue CAGR of ~28% over FY1520E buoyed by volume growth of ~18% over the same period. Volume growth is expected to be driven by women s segment with brassier and women innerwear categories growing at a CAGR of 37% and 21%, respectively, over the same period followed by men s innerwear segment registering growth of 24%. In the subsequent phases of transition and stable growth (FY2125 and FY2630, respectively) we expect revenue to grow at CAGR of ~19% and 13%, respectively supported by volume growth of 11% and 9%, respectively. We expect average realisation during the respective periods to grow at 9%, 6% and 4%. Consequently, based on our DCF valuation, we arrive at a target price of 14250 and have a HOLD recommendation on the stock.
