Consumer Staples-Household Products Bloomberg Code: HMN IN India Research - Stock Broking Market Leader of Cooling Hair Oil, Beating the Heat High Margin Products in the Portfolio are expected to drive EBITDA growth ahead of Sales growth: Recent acquisition of Kesh King Brand, accounts for around 75% gross margin and 45% EBITDA margin as compared to the other products in the portfolio. Kesh King Brand is expected to drive the top line growth by around 8% to 10% additionally. This will enable Emami to record higher margins in FY17E and FY18E. Marching ahead in the league of Herbal Products: Zandu accounts for ~25% of the total revenue of Emami, with over 200 products in the portfolio under the Zandu Brand. The company is also expected to extend the brand with couple of new products; with the most recent launch of Zandu Honey, Emami is currently test marketing these new products and it is expected to launch these products by the end of FY17E. Market Leader of Cooling Hair oil is beating the Heat: The best seller of all times, Emami s Navratna cooling oil enjoys around 60% of the total market share. The rising temperature across India is expected to give robust growth to its Navratna cooling oil, Navratna Cool Talc and to Boroplus prickly heat powder. Historically, cooling oil has recorded 16% to 17% growth during moderate summer, so considering the current weather condition it is expected to grow at good pace. Valuation and Outlook At CMP of Rs.1007, the stock is trading at P/E of 29.5x for FY18E. With the anticipated increase in top line due to high margin products in the portfolio, rising temperature across India, strong brand positioning, innovation and new product launches which were favourably received by the market, with strong balance sheet & financial ratios, we expect that the consumer expenditure will further increase as the economy revives and hence there will be growth in Emami s top line and bottom line as well. Based on P/E of 38.5x, we initiate the coverage with a BUY rating for a Target Price of Rs.1313 representing an upside of for a period of 12-15 months.

High Margin Products in the Portfolio are expected to drive EBITDA growth ahead of Sales growth: Exhibit 4: Revenue & EBITDA Growth (%) 25% 15% 10% 5% 0% 16.6% 16.9% 7.2% Apr 30, 2016 Marching ahead in the league of Herbal Products: Zandu accounts for ~25% of the total revenue of Emami, with over 200 products in the portfolio under the Zandu Brand. The company is also expected to extend the brand with couple of new products; with the most recent launch of Zandu Honey, Emami is currently test marketing these new products and it is expected to launch these products by the end of FY17E. The company has also launched new products in diabetes space, heart care and also related to stress. These products are under test marketing in South India. The company foresees huge potential in this segment as there is no organized market and can create market for these brands. Balms and pain relief segment: Pain relief is a segment of focus for Emami. The company owns home-grown brands like Mentho Plus Balm, Fast Relief and category leader Zandu Balm. The pain relief category accounted for 21% of Emami s consolidated sales in FY15. Ayurvedic positioning and widening rural presence made it possible for these brands to capture the largest market share in these categories. Market Leader of Cooling Hair oil is beating the Heat: The best seller of all times, Emami s Navratna cooling oil enjoys around 60% of the total market share. The rising temperature across India is expected to give robust growth to its Navratna cooling oil, Navratna Cool Talc and to Boroplus prickly heat powder. Historically, cooling oil has recorded 16% to 17% growth during moderate summer, so considering the current weather condition, it is expected to grow at good pace. Hair oils: Emami plugged a gap in its portfolio through the introduction of Emami 7 Oils in One, a unique oil formula combining seven Ayurvedic ingredients which are effective for strong and healthy hair growth targeting young girls and women. Cool oil: Emami catalysed the cool oil category in India through Navratna Oil, enjoying ~60% market share by volume and 65.5% share by value. The company is an undisputed leader in the cooling oil category.

Mn) CAGR (5yrs) (RHS) Market Share (%) (RHS) 0% Recent acquisition of Kesh King Brand, accounts for around 75% gross margin and 45% EBITDA margin as compared to the other products in the portfolio. Kesh King Brand is expected to drive the top line growth by around 8% to 10% additionally. This will enable Emami to record higher margins in FY17E and FY18E. Emami has also launched new Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) to increase the rural penetration targeting middle age women. Exhibit 6: Penetration Level (%) 80% 60% 40% 0% 17.0% 26.0% 32.0% 70.0% Navratna Boroplus Zandu Fair & Penetration (%) Handsome It is observed that Emami enjoys market leadership position across all the brands. The fastest growing category amongst all is the Navratna Brand growing at 17% CAGR in last 5 years. However, Navratna has very low penetration across India. The major market for Navratna cooling oil is North India. With low penetration of Navratna and being the market leader, it is expected to grow at high pace. 3

Skin care: Skin care accounted for around of Emami s revenues and a higher share of profits. Emami is the leader in the antiseptic cream category and in the men s fairness cream segment which it pioneered. Its Navratna Cool Talc (niche cooling positioning) has substantially increased market share in the cool talc category. Strong Balance Sheet: With very moderate level of capital expenditure required in the business, Emami has very strong balance sheet, earning an average RoE of 42.9% & RoCE of 40.7% in last 4 years. Emami enjoys negative working capital for FY15 and expects to maintain at same level, which is healthy sign for any business. Its average net debt to equity is -0.3x for last 4 years on consolidated basis. International Business: Exhibit 7: International Market Share (%) 100% 80% 93.0% 91.0% 60% 40% 47.0% 45.0% 37.0% 30.0% 0% Navratna Fair & Handsome UAE Saudi Arabia Bangladesh The international business of Emami contributes around 17% of the total revenue; the international business has recorded 16% CAGR from FY11 to FY15, during Q3FY16 international business grew by 11% and by 14% in 9MFY16. Emami also enjoys leadership position in international markets; the Navratna cooling oil and Fair & Handsome dominate the markets across UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh. The company expects robust growth in top line from international business going forward.

We expect that Emami is better positioned for faster growth; driven by (1) its entry into new categories, (2) scale up of the Zandu Health Care Division (HCD) and (3) growth in international business. Emami looks well placed with strategy of innovation and creation of strong portfolio of niche products, many of which are based on traditional ayurvedic formulations. Most of these products have high gross margins - highest among domestic peers, along with the low penetration of most of its categories, gives the opportunity for strong growth in the years ahead. We expect Emami s top line to grow at 17% CAGR over FY17E-FY18E assisted along with new launches like She feminine hygiene, HE deodorants, etc. to contribute to additional revenue growth. 4

Valuation & Outlook At CMP of Rs.1007, the stock is trading at P/E of 29.5x for FY18E. With the anticipated increase in top line due to high margin products in the portfolio, rising temperature across India, strong brand positioning, innovation and new product launches which were favourably received by the market, with strong balance sheet & financial ratios, we expect that the consumer expenditure will further increase as the economy revives and hence there will be growth in Emami s top line and bottom line as well. Based on P/E of 38.5x, we initiate the coverage with a BUY rating for a Target Price of Rs.1313 representing an upside of for a period of 12-15 months.
