The demand conditions in the Indian Economy remained subdued and growth of decorative coatings business segment in India continued at a lower level than it did in the decade prior to 2012. Material prices remained benign in the quarter aiding margins. The Industrial Coatings JV (AP-PPG) registered good growth in the Industrial Liquid Paints and Road markings segment. In the Automotive coatings business JV (PPG-AP), the Auto OEM and Refinish segment registered reasonable growths. The International business did well aided by contribution from the units in Middle East and in Ethiopia, although Egypt and Nepal were adversely affected in this period. The company continues to remain very cautious on the domestic demand outlook. Hence, we recommend BUY in this particular scrip with a target price of Rs.945.00 for Medium to Long term investment. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW DECORATIVE INDIA BUSINESS Environment The overall weak demand environment in the economy was also reflected in the decorative paints demand in the domestic market. Demand conditions have been challenging across most of the markets more severely so in states of Punjab, Delhi, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. A short Diwali festival season, unseasonal rains and prolonged winter in Northern India have also added to the woes of the paint industry. The Institutional sales business also faced a slowdown of demand. Notwithstanding the trying circumstances, Asian Paints did well to manage and grow its business in most parts of the country. And while this growth was lower than expected, profitability improved on account of reduction in key raw material prices, specifically in the second half of the year, on the back of significant drop in crude prices.
Emulsions At a product category level, the growth in interior emulsions continues to be led by Tractor Emulsion with advertising and field initiatives focused on the proposition of smart choice. The growth in top end Royale Emulsion has been on a lower side. However, the top end variant Royale Aspira, which had a nationwide launch in the previous year, has done well across markets. In the exterior emulsion category, the top end brand Ultima continues to grow well. Ultima Protek, that offers best in class benefits, has grown rapidly across retail and projects segments. The economy segment in exterior emulsions has witnessed slowdown in growth. With sustained efforts in educating the customers and painters on the use of correct painting system, the growth of exterior undercoats has been good. Wood Finishes In the wood finishes category, the high end finishes like Polyester and Polyurethane (PU) launched in collaboration with Renner Italia of Italy have performed well across markets. Aquadur, water- based PU, has been well accepted in the market. Asian Paints has extended the concept of inspiration décor even in the wood finishes category by launching full range of clear and opaque colours across different products and exclusive special effects in wood and glass coatings. Outlook Crude prices have declined significantly in past six months and are hovering at around a six year low. Lower input costs and volume growth may lead to a 300 basis points (bps) margin expansion for Asian Paints. Even other paint companies may see earnings and margin expansion. Some paint companies might pass on the benefit of softening oil prices to consumers to propel volume growth by keeping realizations low, while others might resort to brand investments or capacity expansion. Lower prices and an improvement in demand from the automotive and industrial segment as economic recovery gathers steam should help paint companies clock volume growth in the range of 9-13 percent for FY15-16. Indian paint industry is likely to see a 20 percent compounded annual growth rate until 2016 on the back of increasing demand from retail consumers, on rapid urbanisation, and development of rural markets. A rise in disposable income of the average middle class coupled with increasing investment on education, urbanisation, development of the rural market and various launches of many innovative products will also be major drivers.
