RESULTS REVIEW 2QFY20 26 OCT 2019 United Spirits BUY ‘Walking’ in the right direction UNSP’s 2Q was weaker than expected. Liquor industry was impacted by slowdown, high base, flooding, liquidity stress in wholesale channel and stiff input costs. UNSP’s restructuring drive is visible, supporting margins despite several headwinds. We believe UNSP will continue to tighten the screws on overheads and benefit from premiumisation. We cut EPS estimates by 4-5% to factor miss in 2Q and value UNSP on Sep-21E EPS, arriving at a TP of Rs 737. Maintain BUY. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER Net rev. grew by 3% (exp of 5%) aided by one-time bulk sales of scotch (adj. growth was flat vs. 14% in 2QFY19). Pernod clocked 3% value growth. Volumes grew by 1% (P&A 3%, popular -1%) on a high base of 12%. Price/mix was negative owing to inferior mix, strategic pricing actions in Maharashtra (McDowells) and adverse state mix. Inferior mix was led by disruption in supply chain of BIO scotch portfolio. Mgt. believes consumer sentiments have turned positive in Oct-19 but remains on a wait and watch mode before calling out a recovery. Amidst liquidity stress, co is providing additional credit to the trade in a calibrated way without compromising on quality sales. We believe premiumisation will resume in 3Q. ENA inflation spiked in 2Q vs. 1Q which led to steep GM decline of 494bps (underlying) vs. exp of -300bps. UNSP has received price hikes from 16 states over the last 12 months. ENA costs have moderated in Oct-19 from its peak in 2Q. Management guides for further moderation post upcoming harvest. Co is actively working with more states for price hikes. Restructuring drive (employee/other expenses) and tight lid on A&P spend led to modest EBITDAM decline of - 181bps to 18.1% margin (vs. exp of 20.3%). Employee/ASP/Other expenses grew by 3/-14/-18%. Margin expansion hereon is uphill (low-hanging fruits behind) but still on the cards. We model 360bps expansion over FY19-22E. Near term outlook: Positive driven by uptick in consumption, moderation in ENA costs and restocking benefits of BIO scotch portfolio. STANCE Diageo’s global market leadership (17/40% share in spirits/scotch) and its dominance in premium segment drives our confidence on UNSP. India is a critical market for Diageo, given the scale (largest Whisky market), leadership position and opportunity to premiumise. UNSP’s premiumisation journey is on track (P&A revenue mix up 800bps vs. FY17) supported by aggressive A&P spends and de-focus on popular brands (franchise model). Restructuring drive, richer product mix, WC efficiencies (80 days vs. 120 days in FY17) have led to strong FCF generation over the last 3 years (cumulative Rs 32bn). Thereby, co has been able to deleverage balance sheet (net debt is at Rs 25bn vs. 40bn in FY17). We expect more of the same over FY19-22E (Rs 33bn FCF generation and Rs 17bn debt repayment).

RESULTS REVIEW 2QFY20 26 OCT 2019

United Spirits BUY

‘Walking’ in the right direction UNSP’s 2Q was weaker than expected. Liquor industry was impacted by slowdown, high base, flooding, liquidity stress in wholesale channel and stiff input costs. UNSP’s restructuring drive is visible, supporting margins despite several headwinds. We believe UNSP will continue to tighten the screws on overheads and benefit from premiumisation. We cut EPS estimates by 4-5% to factor miss in 2Q and value UNSP on Sep-21E EPS, arriving at a TP of Rs 737. Maintain BUY. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER Net rev. grew by 3% (exp of 5%) aided by one-time bulk

sales of scotch (adj. growth was flat vs. 14% in 2QFY19). Pernod clocked 3% value growth. Volumes grew by 1% (P&A 3%, popular -1%) on a high base of 12%. Price/mix was negative owing to inferior mix, strategic pricing actions in Maharashtra (McDowells) and adverse state mix. Inferior mix was led by disruption in supply chain of BIO scotch portfolio.

Mgt. believes consumer sentiments have turned positive in Oct-19 but remains on a wait and watch mode before calling out a recovery. Amidst liquidity stress, co is providing additional credit to the trade in a calibrated way without compromising on quality sales. We believe premiumisation will resume in 3Q.

ENA inflation spiked in 2Q vs. 1Q which led to steep GM decline of 494bps (underlying) vs. exp of -300bps. UNSP has received price hikes from 16 states over the last 12 months. ENA costs have moderated in Oct-19 from its peak in 2Q. Management guides for further moderation

post upcoming harvest. Co is actively working with more states for price hikes.

Restructuring drive (employee/other expenses) and tight lid on A&P spend led to modest EBITDAM decline of -181bps to 18.1% margin (vs. exp of 20.3%). Employee/ASP/Other expenses grew by 3/-14/-18%. Margin expansion hereon is uphill (low-hanging fruits behind) but still on the cards. We model 360bps expansion over FY19-22E.

Near term outlook: Positive driven by uptick in consumption, moderation in ENA costs and restocking benefits of BIO scotch portfolio.

STANCE Diageo’s global market leadership (17/40% share in spirits/scotch) and its dominance in premium segment drives our confidence on UNSP. India is a critical market for Diageo, given the scale (largest Whisky market), leadership position and opportunity to premiumise.

India is the fastest growing alcohol market in terms of volume growth (7% CAGR over 2018-2023). Premium segment is expected to outpace popular segment India is the largest Whisky market in the world (volume terms), still we rank low in terms of per capita consumption of alcohol UNSP is riding on the premiumization theme in alcobev with disproportionate A&P spends on P&A and de-focus on popular (franchised in 13 states)

Volume growth and price/mix improvement is key for UNSP In FY20E, we expect gross margin pressure owing to limited price hikes to pass on hardening of ENA costs We believe in the longer run UNSP has the opportunity to reduce A&P spends (extract higher ROI) as well as other expenses We expect EBITDA margins to expand over FY19-22E driven by restructuring drive and premiumization NPM is expected to expand over FY19-22E driven by deleveraging
