September 19, 2013 Initiating Coverage ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Consumption to light up growth! Bajaj Electricals (BEL) is a dominant play in the consumer durable (CD) and lighting segments with over 4100 dealers and a 400,000 strong retail network for lighting and 86,000 and 45,000 respectively for fans and appliances across India. BEL recorded last six years sales CAGR of 25% and 17% in the CD and lighting categories, respectively, whereas the performance of the E&P category was dismal (last six year sales CAGR of 13%) with rising competition and cost overrun. Although BEL has a dominant presence in the small appliances market with market share ranging between 15% and 30% (organised market), its premium product (Morphy Richards) contributes ~15% to total CD sales. We believe sales and earning will see CAGR of ~18% and ~65% for FY13-15E led by strong performance of the CD & lighting segments while E&P segment will narrow down losses in FY14. We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating. CD, lighting segments to drive topline BEL is a strong brand in the appliances and lighting segments with revenue contribution of ~80% to the topline. With a strong dealer network, we believe the CD and lighting segments will record sales CAGR of ~18% and ~17%, respectively, for FY13-15E, supported by rapid urbanisation and a growing middle class. BEL has largely focused on dealer push strategy with lower advertisement expenditure unlike Havells India’s consumer pull strategy. We believe E&P sales will record a CAGR of ~19% in FY13-15E led by the company’s strategy to reduce the project execution cycle. Lower headwinds to aid in EBITDA as BEL exits lower margin projects BEL’s main concern is a higher working capital cycle (~7% of sales in FY13) compared to other branded players (Havells’ working capital cycle is ~4% of sales in FY13). Significant cost overrun coupled with almost flattish revenue growth in the E&P segment took its toll on overall EBITDA margins (declined ~430 bps YoY) in FY13. However, BEL has endeavoured to rationalise the working capital requirement (20% of sales in FY10 to ~7% of sales in FY13) by reducing debtors’ days. We believe the stretched working capital of BEL would relax, going forward, with an improvement in project execution cycle, finally resulting in EBITDA margin recovery. E&P turnaround to drive stock re-rating At CMP of | 165, BEL is trading at a PE multiple of 24x FY14E & 12x FY15E earnings. On EV/EBITDA multiple, it is trading at ~10x FY14E and ~6x FY15E EBITDA. We expect the E&P segment to narrow its losses in FY14 and start contributing to EBITDA in FY15 by executing high margin projects. It will help reduce working capital requirements with improving return ratios, going forward. Our SOTP valuation suggests a fair value of | 195. We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating and target price of | 195.

Company background Incorporated in 1938, Bajaj Electricals (BEL) was incorporated as Radio Lamp Works Ltd. It was later renamed Bajaj Electricals in 1960. The company is largely known for its consumer appliance business. BEL operates mainly in three business segments, namely, lighting & luminaries, consumer durables (CD) and engineering & project (E&P). The company follows an asset light model strategy wherein it largely outsources (revenue from outsourced product contributes ~95% in the topline) the manufacturing of its kitchen and home appliance products and lightings. Under its kitchen and home appliances, BEL offers a wide range of brown goods including water heaters, mixer grinder, food processors, steam & dry iron, air coolers and water purifiers. The CD segment contributes ~55% to the topline and recorded a CAGR of ~25% in FY08-13. Bajaj lighting & luminaries (contributes ~25% to the topline) recorded CAGR of 17% in FY08-13. This business unit markets a wide range of light sources and domestic luminaries. The range includes general lighting service (GLS), fluorescent tube lights (FTL), compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), special purpose lamps and consumer luminaries. Its luminaries product range covers commercial, industrial, flood lighting, street lighting and post-top lighting besides special luminaries for flame proof and increased safety applications. The E&P segment (contributes ~20% to topline) includes three sub segments viz. special projects, transmission line tower and high masts.

Investment Rationale Dominant play in appliances and lighting segment BEL is a well established national brand in the kitchen & domestic appliances (KDA) and lighting segments. These two segments contribute ~80% to the topline recording sales CAGR of ~22% in FY08-13. The company has successfully leveraged its brand to create a huge retail network of 45,000 for appliances, 86,000 for fans and over 400,000 for lighting across India. In order to use its expertise in different product lines, BEL has entered into various JVs in the appliances and lighting segments (discussed in exhibit 6). Among major brands, Morphy Richards (leading brand in the UK) is a well accepted brand in India marketed by Bajaj. The JV started in 2003 mainly to tap the market for premium products. Revenues of Morphy products recorded CAGR of 32% in FY08-13 from | 46 crore to | 182 crore. The company outsources its lighting products domestically while luminaries are sourced from domestic and international vendors. With a strong dealer network, we believe the CD & lighting segment will witness sales CAGR of ~18% and ~17%, respectively, in FY13-15E, supported by an underpenetrated rural market, rapid urbanisation & a growing middle class.

Bajaj’s appliances and lighting segments together

contribute ~80% to the topline. Bajaj has a strong retail

network of 30,000 for appliances, 86000 for fans and

400,000 for the lighting segment, respectively. We have

built in sales CAGR of ~18% and ~17% for CD and

lighting segments, respectively

Over the years, the company has forayed into new product categories as well as new geographies across India. We believe per capita spend on consumer durables is extremely low in India, especially in rural India, which throws up an opportunity for the company to grow at a more rapid pace in future. Besides, per capita electricity consumption has increased at a mere 4% CAGR to 813 kwhr (provisional) in the last 10 years, which is still lower compared to developed countries. In the long term, an improvement in per capita electricity consumption will help boost the consumption of electrical products in India. However, in the short-term, good monsoons during the year coupled with a rise in minimum support prices of agri commodities (ranges between 5% and 52% of various categories of kharif and rabi crops in FY13) would boost rural income levels. We believe BEL being the major player in the entry level CD product category would benefit from a rise in rural disposable income. This will also help to partially offset the slow growth in volume from urban India. We believe sales growth for the company will remain intact (CAGR of 18% for FY13-15E), supported by established product sales and launch of new products.

Dominant play with over 15-30% market share in various CD categories The consumer durable segment includes appliances and fan divisions and contributes ~55% to the topline with sales CAGR of ~25% in FY08-13. BEL is one of the largest players in the small appliances market with a market share of over ~15-30% (organised category) in various kitchen and domestic appliances categories. In the appliances and fan segments, the appliances division recorded sales CAGR of 27.5% in FY08-13 while the fan division recorded CAGR of ~20% in the same period. Alongside, in 2002, BEL introduced UK’s Morphy Richards brand (part of the 66-year-old Glen Dimplex group) in the domestic home appliances market in the premium category. Sales from Morphy Richards products recorded CAGR of ~32% between FY08 and FY13. On the macro front, the private final consumption expenditure (PFCE) in refrigerator, cooking and washing appliances has registered 14% CAGR in the last 20 years supported by ~12% CAGR in per capita disposable income during the same period. The main driver for this consumption growth is low penetration of the home and kitchen appliances products in the rural India (see exhibit 9).

Fan segment: growth driven by volume BEL is one of the oldest branded fan manufacturers in India with a current market share of ~12% of | 5,000 crore fan market (includes unorganised) in India. The company’s fan manufacturing capacity is located in Chakan (near Pune) with a total installed capacity of 0.8 million fans/annum. BEL’s fan division has grown at ~20% CAGR in FY08-13 to ~| 611 crore driven by ~18% volume CAGR in the same period. The volume growth can largely be attributed to a shift to the branded category from the unorganised segment at affordable prices. This is coupled with sustained demand from rural India and partially from replacement demand. Bajaj fans are currently available in over 86,000 retail outlets (constitute ~55% of all fan selling counters in the country of which 25% are in rural areas and small towns with a population less than 50,000) against 40,000 outlets in 2008 across India. In the fan segment, BEL has close competition from other listed players like Crompton, Havells India and Orient fans. Earlier, the company was largely present in the economy segment but has recently entered the premium category by launching six new models in the domestic market. BEL has also entered into a joint venture with China’s leading fan and air conditioner manufacture GD Midea Holding Ltd in 2000. The company is also present in the air cooler segment with ~15% market share in the domestic market. We have modelled ~13% sales CAGR supported by volume growth at ~9% CAGR considering sustained demand from tier-II, tier-III cities. Our estimate of volume growth is below the Planning Commissions’ estimate of 11% volume growth in ceiling fan categories for 2007-20.

Lighting & luminaries: leveraging brand and strong dealer network The lighting business unit of BEL alone contributes ~15% to topline with CAGR of 23.5% over the last five years. The size of the domestic lighting industry (excluding luminaries includes high mast and solid state lighting and LED) is ~| 5500 crore wherein Bajaj Electrical holds ~9% of market share. The wide range of lighting product includes general lighting service lamps (GLS), fluorescent tube lights (FTL), compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and special purpose lamps. Among all lighting categories, sales of BEL’s CFL recorded stunning CAGR of 33% in FY09-13 backed by various government initiatives to promote power efficient products in India. This along with rising affordability in rural India to buy efficient lighting products like CFL (due to saving on power cost compared to incandescent bulbs with longevity of the product) have boosted CFL sales volume (overall Industry) at 16% CAGR in FY09-12. The company outsource CFL and other lighting products from its sister concern in India, Starlite Lighting and Hindustan Lamp in which BEL holds a substantial stake of 50% and 32%, respectively. BEL has continuously improved its reach by expanding retail network to more than 400,000 outlets in FY13 (which increased from 225,000 in 2008) both in urban and rural areas. It has continued to strengthen distribution network to increase the reach in tier-III and tier-IV towns.

In order to leverage the strong retail network, the company has also forayed into the premium lighting segment with a new range of home decorative lighting and portable LED glow lanterns. We have built in lighting sales CAGR of ~22% in 2013-15E backed by volume growth at ~15% CAGR for the same period. We believe the CFL segment will register strong growth due to rising adoption of energy saving lamps.

Luminaries: Slower construction activity hit translates into moderate growth BEL’s luminaries segment is divided into luminaries, high intensity discharge (HID) lamps and contributes ~11% to overall topline in FY13. The luminaires segment comprises consumer luminaires, indoor commercial luminaires, industrial luminaires & outdoor luminaires for street lighting and flood lighting. The HID lamp includes mercury & sodium vapour lamps, halogen lamps, metal halide lamps, etc. The segment has recorded ~10% CAGR in FY08-13 driven by 11% volume CAGR. However, rising competition & increased discount led to the pressure in realisation (decline of 1.7% in FY13 from peak of FY08) in the same period. The volume growth can largely be attributed to demand in sophisticated interior lighting devices in offices, homes, restaurants, hotels and various industrial purposes (includes street light, stadium, airports, etc). The size of the overall domestic luminaires industry is ~| 2500 crore (organised) with organised markets constituting ~65-70% in the pie and BEL holding ~15% market share in the organised category. We have built in luminaries segment revenue CAGR of ~9.2% in FY13-15E with volume, realisation CAGR of 6%, 3%, respectively. We believe the main growth drivers for the industry will be rapid urbanisation, growth in retail stores, shopping malls/showrooms, IT parks, leisure, hospitality and government spending on infrastructure.

Engineering & project segment BEL entered lighting project services in 1960 with the aim of providing lighting packages for power plants and other industrial facilities. The division got its present name in 1994-95 with the emphasis shifting to design and execution of electrical projects. In 2001-02, BEL commenced its high mast and transmission line tower (TLT) manufacturing unit at Ranjangaon near Pune. The idea behind launching this business was to diversify the business from being a lighting and consumer durable player to a strong contender in the engineering and project segments to leverage the strong brand of Bajaj. The business unit is divided into three segments, namely high masts, TLT and special projects. The E&P segment revenue increased four fold from | 178 crore in FY05 to | 690 crore in FY13 while the segment contributes ~20% to the FY13 topline. The segment recorded revenue CAGR of ~13% in FY08-13 while a slowdown in the industrial business and stretched working capital cycle resulted in a decline in EBIT margin from 12.9% in FY08 to -18.1% in FY13. However, BEL’s order book size has increased 67% YoY in FY14 while it is also L1 bidder for orders worth | 500 crore. We believe this, coupled with the company’s plan to execute all low margin projects by Q2FY14 would help in expanding operating margins in H2FY14 onwards.

Special projects

BEL’s special projects division competency exists in three major segments, namely power plant lightings, sports lightings and rural electrification programmes. The company commands ~70% market share in power plant lighting and sports lighting projects. Under the power plant lighting segment, BEL has executed large orders for major companies like NTPC and Bhel. For sports lighting projects, the company has executed some prominent projects, which includes lighting of Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium along with Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy stadium and Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh (SMS) stadium. BEL has also tied up with UK’s Abacus for sport lightings. The company is also working with all leading consultants like MECON, TCE, MN Dastur, Howe India, EIL Design Ltd & P&D consultants.

This segment contributes ~57% of the total FY14 E&P order book (34% revenue contribution in FY13) and the company is largely focusing on the government’s flagship social programme of electricity to all rural households under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY). This scheme was started in 2005 with the target of illuminating ~6 lakh villages (according to census 2001) with capital subsidy allocation of | 4500 crore in the Tenth Plan, | 25,413 crore in the Eleventh Plan and | 23,397 crore in the Twelfth Plan, respectively. In spite of intense competition from major players like GE, Crompton and Kalpataru in the projects business BEL’s special project revenue recorded 17% CAGR in FY08-13. We believe this segment continues to witness order book growth considering the government’s endeavour to electrify rural India and expenses towards modernisation of sport stadia in India.

Transmission line tower business BEL has entered the transmission line tower (TLT) business in the year 2002 and accepts turnkey projects, which include design, supply, erection and commissioning of transmission lines and telecommunication towers. The plant manufactures a range of towers of 110, 132, 220, 400, 765 kilovolt (kv) single/double circuit power transmission lines. BEL has executed various projects for Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) (see exhibit 32). The TLT business contributes ~37% to the E&P topline with 15%revenue CAGR in FY08-13. In this segment, BEL faces intense competition from various established players like KEC, Kalpataru, Jyoti and L&T. We believe the government’s endeavour to add ~17683 ckm of transmission line under the Twelfth Plan with Power Grid’s capex plan of | 22500 crore by the end of FY16 will help in driving BEL’s topline for FY14E-15E.

High masts & poles division The high masts & pole division includes turnkey projects of design, development, manufacturing and site erection of high masts & signage boards. The company is the market leader in the segment executing major projects such as street light project on the Western Express Highway (for Reliance Infrastructure) and Bandra Worli Sea Link Mumbai and NH-45 in Tamil Nadu. High masts projects are for RIL, Jamnagar, BORL Bina- Bina refinery and signages for HPCL, BPCL, and IOCL. The high masts and pole division recorded 6% CAGR over FY08-13. We believe the company will benefit from the government’s social spending (like JNNURM) in developing road and rural infrastructure (street lighting and signage board).

Pan-India presence through strong dealer network Bajaj Electricals, being one of the oldest consumer durable companies in the country has a pan-India presence through a strong dealer and retail network. The company has 2200+ distributors and 4100+ dealers across India. Further, Bajaj’s lighting solutions are available in over 400,000 retail stores while fans and appliances are available at over 86,000 and 45,000 retail stores across India. In order to leverage its strong brand, BEL has taken an initiative to reach directly to the consumer through opening retail chain ‘Bajaj World’ (pure franchise model) for appliances and lighting products. Currently, the company has 40 exclusive Bajaj showrooms i.e. Bajaj World across major cities in India. BEL plans to increase the number of stores to over 75 by the end of FY14. The company also plans to go international through franchise agreements. BEL has recently opened one store in Nepal and plans to open Bajaj World in Ghana, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and South Africa in the coming future.

Lower advertisement expenses compared to competitors BEL’s advertisement expenses (excluding E&P segment) over the years remained lower as compared to its close competitors like Havells India and V-Guard Industries. The lower advertisement expenditure can largely be attributed to the company’s focus on maintaining its EBITDA margin (since the company is largely into the trading business) through managing variable cost. We believe the near competitor (considering the scale of business) Havells India’s standalone advertisement expenses have recorded a CAGR of ~29% during FY07-13 against BEL’s advertisement expense of ~16% CAGR during the same period. However, in order to improve visibility, the company has decided to increase the advertisement allocation by 74% YoY to | 75 crore for FY14 on the occasion of 75th anniversary. We believe higher advertisement expenditure would be partially offset by an improvement in earnings from E&P.

Asset light model: outsourcing manufacturing BEL follows an asset light model strategy through outsourcing more than ~95% of its consumer and lighting products (both categories together contribute ~80% to total topline) from either domestic or international markets (China). Under the imported products category, Bajaj imports 40% of MRL’s revenue, ~20% of appliances’ revenue and ~10% each of fan and lighting’s revenue. However, the company’s international outsourcing of fan has declined from 60% last year to 30% current year. Further, BEL plans to allocate a significant chunk (~65%) of total capex (| 60-65 crore) into R&D expenses to introduce new product categories such as induction LED products, cook top, invertors, stabilisers and pumps along with generator. With low capex, outsourced categories earn much higher RoCE. Going forward, it does not have any major plans to add to its own capacities (FY15 capex | 20-25 crore). This would help the company to maintain overall return ratios of the company in future.

outsourcing more than ~95% of its consumer and lighting

products. The company outsources majority of its products

from domestic markets. Import contributes ~13-14% to the

overall topline in FY13

E&P segment shadows working capital BEL’s main concern is a higher working capital cycle (~7% of sales in FY13) compared to other branded players (Havells’ working capital cycle is ~4% of sales in FY13). Slower project execution cycle, cost overruns coupled with almost flattish revenue growth in the E&P segment (due to a slowdown in the transmission and distribution industry) took a toll on overall EBITDA margins (declined ~430 bps YoY) of FY13. However, BEL has put in place efforts to rationalise the working capital requirement (20% of sales in FY10 to ~7% of sales in FY13) by reducing debtors’ days (from 123 days in FY11 to 101 days in FY13). We believe the stretched working capital of BEL would get eased, going forward, with an improvement in the project execution cycle, which will finally result in a recovery in the EBITDA margin.

By the end of FY13, BEL’s order book stood at | 1071 crore for 89 projects. These 89 projects include 15 old projects (of FY13), which are low margin or loss making projects. BEL believes it will complete ~76 projects (including old projects) by the end of FY14E (including old projects), which also includes higher margin projects from PGCL. We believe the company’s EBIT loss will get minimised in FY14 as losses from old projects (constitutes ~40% of order book) would be partially offset by gains from good margin projects (constitutes ~60% of order book).

BEL’s main concern is higher working capital cycle mainly

due to higher debtor days in the E&P segment. However,

the company is aiming to improve its working capital cycle

by exiting lower margin projects, which would help in

reducing debtor days

Key Financials Consumer segment growth intact, E&P to drive topline BEL has recorded strong sales CAGR of 19.7% in FY08-13 led by 24.6% revenue CAGR in the consumer durables segment followed by lighting business CAGR of 16.5% during the same period. The E&P segment revenue recorded sales CAGR of 12.5% during FY08-13, lower than the other two segments largely due to lower project execution rate and increased competition. We have modelled lighting segment sales CAGR of 16.8% for FY13-15E largely driven by sustained demand for energy saving products like CFL. Under the consumer durables segment, we have built in segment revenue CAGR of ~18%, supported by demand from tier-III cities and rural India. For the E&P segment we have modelled sales revenue CAGR of ~19% for FY13-15 (higher than historical growth of 12.5% during FY08-13) backed by the company’s plan to improve its execution cycle by completing old pending projects by the end of Q2FY14.

E&P performance to aid in revival of depressed margin EBITDA margins plunged sharply in FY13 to ~3% largely due to losses in the E&P segment. The company recorded an EBIT loss of | 124 crore in the E&P segment during FY13. In addition, purchase of traded goods increased sharply by 17% YoY during FY13 (increased ~500 bps YoY as percentage of sales). We believe sustained growth in revenue from consumer durable and lighting segment will maintain the margin while recovery in E&P segment (due to timely execution of new projects) will aid margins. We have modelled EBITDA margin of 4.3% and 5.7% for FY14E, FY15E, respectively, considering improved project execution cycle and focus of higher margin projects going forward. However, our margin estimates are still below FY12 level, considering BEL’s plan to increase advertisement outlay in FY14E-15E.

Recovery in margin leads to growth in profit We believe the sharp dip in PAT by ~57% during FY13 can largely be attributed to a reduction in margin on account of BEL’s E&P business. However, a recovery in margin coupled with a leash on interest outgo (due to reducing working capital requirement) for FY14E and FY15E would help drive BEL’s bottomline, going forward. We believe the bottomline of the company will grow at ~34% YoY in FY14E and ~102% YoY in FY15E, respectively.

We expect operating margins to have bottomed out in

FY13 and expect the EBITDA margin to recover in FY14E-

Improved operating cash flow to drive return ratio BEL’s return ratios remained under pressure post FY10 due to higher working capital requirement for the E&P business. We believe the company’s return ratios have bottomed out in FY13, when the company took major steps to complete the project by taking a hit in earnings. Further, capex funding through internal accrual with improvement in cash flow from operation would help keep BEL’s debt requirement low.

Risk & concerns Highly competitive industry Although Bajaj Electrical has remained a strong brand in the consumer durable segment for the last 75 years, the industry has faced regular competition from the unorganised sector due to a low entry barrier. Further, BEL’s entry into newer segments, which are highly competitive in nature, poses a risk of overcapacity. This could lead to a contraction in margins, going forward.

Currency risk The company’s imports content contributes ~13% to the topline, which includes 40% of Morphy Richards, 20% of appliances, 10% each of lighting and fans. Rupee depreciation over an extended duration could put pressure on margins in the near term.

Slowdown in E&P business A slowdown in the power transmission and distribution industry and slower rate of project execution has hit the company’s segment revenue. This led to stretched working capital requirement and finally hit margin. However, the company is expected to complete loss making projects by the end of Q2FY14. There is also stiff competition in the segment due to the presence of major players like Kalpataru Power and Jyoti Structures. We believe any cut in government expenditure under RGGVY and transmission line towers would hurt the company’s performance.

Valuation Bajaj Electricals, despite being a dominant play in the lighting and consumer durable segment (contributes ~80% of topline) with a strong dealer network, has paid the price for poor execution in the E&P business. The slowdown in the E&P segment has hit margins, which have shrunk from their peak of 10.5% in FY08 to 3% in FY13 in the last five years. Poor EBITDA margins with rising working capital requirement (due to a delay in execution of E&P projects) resulted in a sharp multiple contraction. Compared to its close competitor like Havells, BEL is trading at ~30% discount (~12x of FY15E earnings) to its earnings. This is on account of the company’s large presence in the economic product category and focus on distribution push strategy than consumer pull strategy. The stock has traded at a mean earning multiple of 14x one year forward in the last eight years. At the current price, the stock has been trading at a PE multiple of 24x FY14E and 12x FY15E earnings. On EV/EBITDA multiple, it is trading at ~10x FY14E and ~7x FY15E EBITDA. We believe the stock is trading at attractive multiples considering the strong performance of the consumer durable & lighting business and recovery in the E&P segment. We have valued the company on a sum of the parts (SOTP) basis by valuing the lighting, CD and E&P business separately. The company has successfully leveraged its brand to create a huge retail network of 45,000 for appliances, 86,000 for fans and over 400,000 for lighting across India. Hence, we have valued the consumer durable business at 10x FY15E EBITDA, at ~20% discount to Havells’ CD segment and lighting business at 4x FY15E EBITDA at ~30% discount to Havells lighting business. On the E&P front, we believe BEL will narrow its losses to ~| 138 crore and | 50 crore in FY14E and FY15E, respectively, by executing high margin projects. This will help reduce the company’s working capital requirement with an improvement in return ratios, going forward. We have valued the E&P business at 3x FY15EV/EBITDA, at ~15% discount to Jyoti Structure. We are initiating coverage on the stock with a BUY rating.

We believe the improved free cash flow for the company

would result in higher dividend payout. In turn, this would

improve the return ratios of the company

We believe execution of low margin businesses during

FY14 would reduce the working capital requirement and,

hence, help in improving return ratios, going forward
