KEI INDUSTRIES Firing on all cylinders; growth visibility improving

RESULT UPDATE KEI INDUSTRIES Firing on all cylinders; growth visibility improving India Equity Research Consumer Durables KEI Industries (KEI) posted strong turnkey revenue, leading to 17% revenue beat in Q4FY18. Bottom line also surpassed estimate ~30%. Key highlights: a) Q4 & FY18 cables volume grew ~18% reasonable in light of tepid housing demand attributable to KEI s diversified business, & is better than peers; and b) exports (up 21% YoY) & extra high voltage (EHV; up 65% YoY) helped KEI outpace peers, driving overall utilisation above 90%. We revise up FY19/20E EPS 4/6% factoring in higher growth. We believe, strong RoCE and earnings spurt will be complemented by rising B2C traction driving free cash flow over FY18-20. Maintain BUY with revised TP of INR580 (INR550 earlier). Volumes outpace peers; dip in term debt boosts PAT KEI s robust 17% revenue beat was driven by turnkey segment s 42% growth in Q4FY18 driven by higher execution. The cables segment s 19% growth was led by 17% volume spurt (peers 6-7%) coupled with pass through of higher input prices. Retail cables 42% sales growth was driven by higher ad spends (~1.75x versus FY17) to improve brand image. Management s focus on term debt reduction helped prune interest cost (down 4% in Q4FY18) and post 40% PAT growth. Read-across for the industry With KEI s cables segment posting strong volume growth, we anticipate Finolex and V- Guard to post healthy volume growth as well. However, they are unlikely to surpass KEI, as the latter has additional levers of EHV and exports (up 65% / 21%, respectively). Capacity expansion and improved brand image to propel revenue While it is heartening to see strong B2B growth (turnkey/ehv growth at 42/65% in FY18), we expect B2C expansion to drive incremental growth for KEI with cash generation. This, we believe, is achievable given capacity expansion (by 17%) of LT cables facility, focus on improving brand perception and distribution expansion. Outlook and valuations: Robust visibility; maintain BUY We believe, a gradual brand/distribution overhaul and capacity expansion will help KEI enhance its B2C business, which currently lags large peers. Also, focus on debt reduction will help post 32% earnings CAGR over FY18-20. We maintain BUY/SO.

Consumer Durables Q4FY18 conference call: Key highlights Performance: Volume growth in Q4FY18 of 17% and 18% in FY18 in the cables segment. Sales through dealer network grew 33%. Total number of active working dealers is 1,284, up 12%. Margin rose from 8.0% to 9.0-9.2% in the institutional business because of increase in demand and rose in capacity utilisation. Export sales jumped 21% during the quarter. EPC division sales at INR6.54bn versus INR4.23bn (net of cables) last year, up 55%. KEI s has a 90% capacity utilisation currently and the company is working on improving efficiency, which will further help improve capacity utilisation. Largest sales are to the power generation and distribution sector and also to Metro with sales of INR1.2 1.5bn. Retention amount is INR1.6bn. Industry: The government s focus on affordable housing is expected to drive incremental demand for cables (instead of high-rise buildings) which is already visible. With its strong pan-india dealer network, the company should be able tap this demand. The shift to organised market is visible and is expected to grow with implementation of the E-way bill. Also, pick up in manufacturing activity in terms of private capex (steel, cement and refining segments - capacity expansion and quality improvement projects from BS-IV to BS-VI) is expected to drive demand for cables. Railway is undergoing the highest capex currently and KEI has been the leading supplier to Metro rail over the past 10 years. In EHV cables, Universal and KEI are the only manufacturers of EHV cables in India; balance is imported. Order book: INR25bn and L1 in INR2.32bn of EPC. o o Of this, EPC order is INR14.25bn. Cables order is INR11.45bn (including export order worth INR1.47bn & EHV cable order worth INR3.27bn). Guidance: 18-20% volume growth in FY19 given the improving outlook for the cables industry. Retail business growth: Besides growing the dealer network, KEI is also focusing on strengthening existing dealers. The EHV cables segment is expected to double its revenue (INR3.6bn in FY19 versus INR1.68bn in FY18) in FY19 with INR3bn of order book where margins are also high. EHV segment s peak revenue stands at INR4.0-4.5bn. Exports are expected to grow 12-15%. Revenue from dealers is expected to grow 30%. 2 Edelweiss Securities Limited

KEI Industries EPC revenue of INR10bn. Margin can be >10% going forward. In FY18, provisions adversely impacted the margins and these will be done away with in FY19 thus improving margins. Normal cables earn 9.0-9.5% margin; management is expecting it increase to going forward. Capex: In cables is setting up a new greenfield facility for manufacture of LT cables (9,600km). Phase 1 has been completed and will start production by May 2018 (capability to generate INR3bn of additional revenue). Phase 2 for manufacture of HT cables will also be implemented in the same factory with capex of INR0.3-0.35bn in FY19. Phase 2 should be fully operational by Feb-March 2019. Total capex of INR0.5bn for FY19. Debt: Debt: FY17 is peak debt and will not increase from there. Increasing WC capital needs to be met by internal accruals. The company already has a debt repayment schedule of INR0.6bn for FY19. However, because the WC rate of interest of 8.9% is higher and ECB s are cheaper in terms of interest, KEI issues ECBs, thus keeping debt constant and reducing the interest cost. Other comments: WC cycle has reduced by 0.42 months and NWC stands at INR1.89bn. KEI serves 700 customers in the institutional segment currently.

Consumer Durables Company Description KEI was established in 1968 as a partnership firm Krishna Electrical Industries with prime business of manufacturing house wiring rubber cables. It was converted into a public limited company with the corporate name KEI Industries in December 1992. In 1996, KEI acquired Matchless, a company under same management, which manufactured stainless steel wires. KEI has, over the years, invested in building flexible manufacturing facilities and expanded capacities. The company manufactures and supplies power and other industrial cables.the company operates through 3 segments cables, stainless steel wires and turnkey projects. It also focuses on EPC business. Investment Theme Government s infra push: Potent demand catalyst - Housing For All & improving power availability, in our view, will be key drivers of the domestic cables & wires industry. With the government sharpening focus on power generation, transmission and distribution, demand for cables as part of T&D equipment is expected to expand significantly. KEI s expertise in EPC projects and excellent track record has rendered it the preferred candidate for such projects. Huge scope to leverage cables business with forward integration in EPC - In EPC, KEI has the advantage of manufacturing (in house) EHV, HV and LT cables, which account for product pull through of 30%, leading to superior margin. Also, technological collaboration with Switzerland-based Brugg Kabel AG has helped the company gain faster entry in the EHV cable market with designs and process back up services sought by end users. Key Risks Cyclical nature of business - KEI s products are used primarily by power utilities, infrastructure, real estate and industrial segments. Any slowdown in these sectors can significantly impact demand for KEI s products. High competition - A majority of KEI s products are highly competitive in nature and face strong threat from other players. Raw material price fluctuation - Excessive volatility in prices of key raw materials copper and aluminium can severely impact profitability. Although KEI tries to recover rise in raw material prices either through hike in selling price of products or via hedging, there is no assurance that it can do so successfully or at all in the future. Currency fluctuation - With exports being a key contributor to the company s revenue, excessive volatility in currency rates can significantly impact profitability. KEI also imports raw material and extreme currency fluctuations can adversely affect costs of the same, in turn denting profitability. 6 Edelweiss Securities Limited
