Edel Invest Research First Flash: Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances Ltd Brand play; intensified focus; available at cheap valuation Company structure Butterfly Gandhimathi Appliances (BGAL) is a leading manufacturer/marketer of domestic kitchen and domestic electrical appliances. The company s leading products, sold under the Butterfly brand, are LPG stoves, mixer grinders, table tops, wet grinders, pressure cookers, among others. It is a market leader in Stainless Steel (SS) LPG gas stoves with 22-23% share in South India and 10% pan-india share. BGAL, apart from selling its products through distributors and dealers, also bids for government contracts, wherein the latter provides free kitchen appliances to customers. In FY15, it had won orders from two states (Tamil Nadu & Pondicherry), execution of which was completed in. Hence, government contracts contributed around 46% to its revenue. However, as the government has achieved its distribution target, the company does not anticipate any new orders from this avenue over the next year. The company has tied up with all LPG gas providers, wherein along with new gas connections Butterfly stoves are sold to customers. Its branded revenue has clocked 14.9% CAGR over FY11-16, led by growth in the branded kitchen appliances market, strong brand connect and expansion of product portfolio. BGAL is predominantly a South India player with the market contributing 85% to revenue and other markets contributing balance 15%. Q1FY17 was sluggish for BGAL revenue plummeted 64% YoY due to absence of government contracts along with fall in branded sales (due to weak consumer sentiments and lack of institutional sales). Ergo, dwindling revenue coupled with lower absorption of fixed costs resulted in a loss at the net level. Peer Comparison The kitchen appliances industry is largely unorganised and is shifting in favour of organised players, which presents humungous growth opportunities for players like BGAL. According to the market report by TechSci Research, the kitchen appliances market in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25%+ during 2015-19. The demand for kitchen appliances is expected to continue growing on account of expanding base of middle class and affluent consumers, increasing working population and improving consumer lifestyle. As the industry is lucrative, the competitive intensity is high. Currently, TTK is the leading player, while other players in the space are Hawkins, Pigeon, Phillips. CMP: INR 236; Mcap: INR 425 Cr Triggers Southern spice: Revamping management: Butterfly is a dominant brand in South India, with the market contributing ~85% to BGAL s revenue, and south covering 67% of its 18,000 retail touch points. BGAL, in a bid to bring in professional management, has appointed Mr. Prakash Iyer as its new CEO, who has immense experience in consumer market, previously worked with Niligris and Reliance Private Equity. Thus, the company has now sharpened focus on ramping up branded sales. We believe, limited presence in the non-south market presents BGAL a humungous growth opportunity, as the branded kitchen segment is expected to grow in strong double digit over next three years time led by confluence of factors like seventh pay commission, good monsoons etc. Sharpening focus on branded sales via product portfolio and distribution expansion: Over the past three years, BGAL has expanded its product portfolio from mere 6 in FY11 to 20+ now. Currently, Butterfly brand is available through Multi Brand Outlets / retail touch points has 400 distributors reaching 18,000 retail touch points. It has also increased the number of stock keeping units (SKU) from 250 in 2011 to around 554 currently which it targets to expand further. Going forward, along with expanding its retail footprint, BGAL is aggressively exploring other distribution channels like online, modern retail and Canteen Stores Department, which are expected to drive revenue spurt. Management estimates the company to post INR 1,000 crore revenue by FY20 (CAGR 17% over -20). Improving utilization, led by branded sales to impart leverage benefits, positively impacting returns profile: Currently, BGAL s utilisation stands at 50%. Over the next three years, the management expects the company s branded sales and earnings to reach INR 1000 crore and INR 50 crore respectively, led by improvement in gross and operating margins.. Thus, improving margin profile would positively benefit the RoCE from current level of 11.2% to 20% by FY20 Valuation Argument At CMP, BGAL is trading at 0.8x branded sales, whereas other players in the category are trading at 3.0-4x sales. Going forward, sharpening focus on branded sales is envisaged to enhance the company s margin and return ratios, leading to re-rating. Hence, we have a positive outlook on the stock. 1 Edel Invest Research Sandeep Raina Research Analyst Sandeep.raina@edelweissfin.com +91 (22) 4088 6033
