Sintex Industries (SINT IN) On the cusp of a re‐rating INDIA | MIDCAP | Initiating Coverage
17 July 2015
Sintex is a market leader in plastic prefab and storage tanks in India. Its new spinning (textiles) project should create significant shareholder value because of cost advantage and marginal cost of funding (alleviating capex concerns). Overall, its wide product portfolio and well‐established distribution network with strong brand name provide significant growth potential. We expect rerating in valuation with (1) improved cash flows, (2) better working‐capital cycle, and (3) earnings CAGR of 26% over FY15‐17. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and a TP of Rs 155 based on 8x our FY17 EPS. Strong product portfolio, diversified revenue stream Sintex has built a strong product portfolio in plastic (3,500+ products) over the past 30 years. It derives 44% revenue from custom moulding (26% overseas, 18% India) and 45% from building material including pre‐fabricated plastics, monolithic, and storage tanks. Its textile segment (10% of revenue) is focused on value‐added products and primarily caters to readymade garments and high‐end fabric used in suiting and shirting. The company has evolved into a projects and solution provider from a pure plastics company, thereby reducing business risk.
Custom moulding (CM) is poised for significant growth Global and domestic acquisitions helped the company to acquire technology and increase geographic reach with new products. Custom moulding represents significant opportunities both globally and domestically for the company, which has integrated technology and shifted manufacturing to low‐cost locations such as Hungary, Slovakia, and India. Overseas CM (60% of revenue) should continue healthy growth (with Fortune‐500 clients) while domestic CM will benefit from strong growth in the automobile segment along with upcoming capacity expansion. Carmakers and two‐wheeler companies in India have lined up investments of ~US$ 5bn (Rs 310bn) and Rs 85bn respectively over the next five years, providing long‐term growth prospects for the CM business. Over FY15‐17, we expect overseas CM to report a revenue CAGR of 17% (Rs 25.1bn revenue in FY17) and domestic CM to see a CAGR of ~25% (Rs 19.8bn in revenues by FY17).
Building material to get support from government and CSR activities Sintex’s building‐material segment includes prefab (47%), monolithic (20%), infrastructure (23%), and storage tanks (11%). The company is a major beneficiary of the government’s spending on healthcare, education, and corporate‐CSR initiatives with its strong distribution network of over 1,000 dealers/distributors and 20,000 retailers in the domestic market and diverse product portfolio. The company is focusing on cash flows resulting in controlled growth in monolithic and infrastructure. Prefab and storage business will see a revenue CAGR of 22% and 13% respectively over FY15‐17. Building material will see revenue CAGR of 12% to Rs 40.1bn over FY15‐17.
Sustainable cash flow and improving working capital cycle Sintex has intentionally slowed down the bidding for new projects in the monolithic and infrastructure segments (these caused its receivable cycle to stretch because of some of the government projects). It has been able to improve net working capital to 44% sales from 59% in FY14 and reduce receivable days by 10 to reach 120 in FY15. The recovery in working capital cycle and better capital allocation will improve return ratios significantly.
Valuations At CMP of Rs 103, the stock trades at 5.3x our FY17 expected earnings and 4.7x EV/EBITDA. In the past five years, it has traded in a P/E range of 5x‐12x and average EV/EBITDA of around 7x. We have valued the company at 8x our FY17 EPS of Rs 19.5 to arrive at a price target of Rs 155, translating into an EV/EBITDA valuation of 6x. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating.

respective industries, thereby providing the opportunity to cross‐sell its products across customer segments. Its acquisition of Simonin, a French plastics products company, is expected to add € 50mn revenue in FY16 and has extended its capabilities in composites (i.e., metal and metal‐over‐moulded with plastic parts) which is seeing strong growth. The company has completed the restructuring of its US‐based Wasoki with (1) management change and (2) product rationalization, which should result in a margin improvement of 80‐92bps over the next two years. 2) Indian auto players have major investments – to benefit Sintex’s custom
moulding Its Indian subsidiary, Bright Autoplast, should benefit from strong growth in the automobile segment along with upcoming capacity expansion. Bright Autoplast caters to all major domestic OEM players and is absorbing technology and customers from overseas subsidiaries Nief Plastics and Wausaukee. Carmakers and two‐wheeler companies in India have lined up investment worth ~US$ 5bn (Rs 310bn) and Rs 85bn respectively over the next five years, providing long‐term visibility for Sintex’s custom moulding business. Suzuki Gujarat is investing Rs 85bn for a capacity of 750,000 units per annum. Honda is investing Rs 35.6bn in its two‐wheeler and car businesses in India as it looks to hike production capacity.

The government’s push for affordable housing with faster execution is positive for prefab and monolithic businesses. Monolithic has gained acceptability in the market and has latent demand from affordable housing due to cost and time benefits. Strong unmet demand in India for affordable housing India needs ~ 7mn houses every year, almost 75% of which constitute affordable housing. The qualification with the governments is the primary entry barrier for monolithic construction and prefabs. Sintex is pre‐qualified with 17 state governments for its prefabs and monolithic construction panels.

The company has forayed into new geographies like Pondicherry, parts of Rajasthan and UP, and is moving up the value chain in the monolithic segment by undertaking housing projects for the mid‐income group (MIG) and high‐income group (HIG) and increasing exposure to the defence, police, and private sectors. It is increasing business volume by undertaking G+7/G+13 housing projects against G+4 projects earlier. Significant shortages of housing and government support are expected to provide long‐term growth opportunities for monolithic. Sintex has products for water purification in villages, healthcare centres, or classrooms and agri‐sheds. Therefore, its products fit very well into the government’s various projects towards cleanliness, sanitation, healthcare and education. A bit on this below:

Swacch Bharat Mission and Clean India to drive Sintex’s revenues Both schemes will address open defecation, disposal of solid waste, and liquid waste through recycling. In India around 65‐70% (~600mn) population in rural households still have poor or no access to toilets. As per the Ministry of Urban development and drinking water and sanitation, the government’s programme would cover 10.4mn households and provide 250,000 seats of community toilets and 260,000 public toilets and solid waste management for 4,041 statutory towns. The total cost of the programme over the next five years is estimated at Rs 620bn with central outlay earmarked at Rs 146bn. Sintex has developed efficient low‐cost bio‐toilets, which could see significant demand from the Swacch Bharat Mission apart from its prefab products. Sintex Prefab Toilets command 90‐95% market share. Private sector CSR initiatives will also drive revenue Increased outlay towards addressing drinking water and sanitation issues is creating demand for prefab products. A large outlay from the corporate kitty is available to boost the government’s campaign and ~Rs 70‐80bn per annum is expected to be spent through CSR for education, healthcare, sanitation, and environmental products. Other initiatives that are likely to result in higher business for Sintex Healthcare spending: This is expected to grow at 18% pa to fulfil the target density for hospitals beds and healthcare workers across rural and urban areas. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA): The government’s flagship programme for achieving universal elementary education in a time‐bound manner is worth US$ 11bn, of which a third is for classroom infrastructure. The scheme intends to build 1mn primary classrooms and 0.28mn secondary classrooms by 2022 for 100% urban and 75%+ rural penetration — this will create opportunities for prefab. Cold storage and warehousing facilities: India loses ~20% of perishable products (20% of banana, ~10% of oranges, and ~17% of potatoes) due to inadequate warehousing and cold storage infrastructure. According to National Horticultural Board, 90% of fruits and vegetables that India produces have no storage facilities. The opening up of the retail sector and emphasis on wastage reduction will drive the demand for cold storage and warehousing. Sintex manufactures sandwich panels for cold chains and warehousing.

Spinning project to add Rs 1.4bn to EBITDA in FY17 Sintex has a rich experience in textiles and has maintained high margins consistently with value‐added products such as structured dyed yarn fabrics. The company is setting up a cotton‐yarn spinning plant with capacity of 320,000 spindles at Pipavav, Gujarat, with a capital expenditure of Rs 18bn. The investment in spinning is expected to benefit from (1) favourable structural change in the global yarn market with growing export opportunities and (2) support from state and central government’s textile policy (details in text box below). Raw materials and power are major costs for spinning projects accounting for 68% and 14% of total costs. The availability of quality raw material and uninterrupted power supply at attractive rates along with marginal capital cost (effective interest cost of ~2‐3%) would result in a significant cost advantage. The project is also benefiting from its location advantage — of being in close proximity to efficient container‐port APM terminals, as it would export ~80% of its volumes.

Gujarat Government’s New Textile Policy India is the third largest producer of cotton in the world after USA and China and exports ~25% of production. It is gaining share in the international market with Chinese focus on food grains and other priority crops. For China and other countries, the cost of production is increasing mainly due to high labour intensity in spinning — this is opening up opportunities for Indian suppliers. The Gujarat government has announced a new textile policy, which we believe would be a major driver for changing the outlook for spinning units. Gujarat produces ~70% of India’s cotton (grew to 12.3mn bales from 2.3mn bales 10 years ago), but transports it to outside states (mainly Tamil Naidu) to manufacture yarn. These states are power deficit, thereby increasing cost of production. The state government has announced attractive benefits resulting in an IRR yield of ~14‐18% and payback of 3‐4 years, which is expected to benefit Sintex’s spinning project. Details of the Gujarat government’s new textile policy 7% interest subsidy over and above 4% TUF from the central government
resulting in a marginal cost of borrowing of ~2%. Gujarat state has surplus power, which will be available for spinning units at a
subsidized rate (Rs 1 per unit less than standard rates). Duty exemption @ 15% on power tariff is also possible. VAT refund till cost of project is recovered. Additionally, the central government has allocated Rs 116bn under TUFS (Technology Upgradation Scheme) in the 12th Five Year Plan Period (2012‐2017).

Improving working capital cycle The company had high working‐capital intensity due to (1) its large product range (2) the monolithic construction business that largely caters to the government segment (many of its customers are large PSUs demanding longer credit periods) and (3) infrastructure business. Receivables increased to 130 days in FY14 from 114 in FY11 with outstanding at Rs 20.8bn. Net working capital (excluding cash) as percentage of sales increased to 56% in FY14 from 30% in FY11. However, now, Sintex has intentionally slowed down bidding for new projects in monolithic and infrastructure (where the receivable cycle was being stretched due to some of the government projects). It has been able to improve net working capital to 44% sales from 59% in FY14 and reduce receivable days by 10 to touch 120 in FY15. The loans and advance increased by 239% to Rs19.5bn in FY15 from Rs 5.7bn in FY11 mainly due to advances on ongoing projects. Recovery in working capital cycle, better capital allocation, and significantly improved return ratios provide upside. Working capital (ex‐cash) as % of sales

Financials Sintex’s FY09‐15 revenue CAGR was 14%. The company has consistently maintained healthy EBITDA margins (14.5%‐16%) over the last five years, despite the weak economy. We expect revenue CAGR of 22% over FY15‐17 with 40bps margin improvement to 17.3%, resulting in earnings CAGR of 26% (FY17 revenue at Rs 104bn, net profit at Rs 8.71bn). We see EBITDA CAGR at 24% to Rs 18.1bn. Higher growth in the high‐margin businesses such as domestic custom moulding (margin at ~20% vs. 10% in overseas CM) and prefab should support the company’s margins. Its overseas business’ clients are all Fortune‐500 companies, mainly for their global supply. Therefore, Sintex does not expect a significant impact of the EU crisis, as the overseas business will be more linked to global automobile growth. The company has a regular capex of ~Rs 1.4bn per annum and is spending ~Rs 1.5bn on capacity addition in custom molding and prefabs. The pending capital expenditure for its textile spinning project of Rs 8bn is expected to be complete in FY16. We have assumed average tax rate of 30% compared to effective tax rate of 25.5% in the past two years as some of the plants are coming out of tax exemptions. FCCB is fully converted and equity capital is now 444mn shares (35% increase yoy). Revenue to cross Rs 100bn in FY17 ‐ CAGR of 22% 40bps improvement in margins to 17.3% in FY15‐17

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Sustainable cash flows; FCCB dilution usefully absorbed Investment in infrastructure and overseas acquisitions led to a significant increase in fixed asset and working capital. It’s capital expenditure over FY09‐15 was around Rs 36.5bn with additional working capital requirement of Rs 15.3bn. The balance sheet size increased from Rs 41.6bn in FY09 to Rs 92.5bn with asset turnover of 0.8x. The company had a total debt of ~Rs 42.9bn with a D/E of 0.9x in FY15. Sintex issued an FCCB of US$ 225mn on March 2008 to finance expansion and working capital requirement. However, slowdown in global economy after2008 and tighter liquidity led to refinancing of the FCCB in November 2012, thereby impacting the valuation of the company. The company has successfully absorbed the conversion of FCCB into equity with ~35% dilution and equity shares have increased to 444mn. It has completed major investments and has an annual EBITDA of around Rs 14bn and cash profit of Rs 9bn. We expect rerating in valuation with improved cash flows and balance sheet.

Valuations: Rerating is inevitable Sintex’s valuation were impacted due to economic cycles, stretched working capital, and increased leverage. However, its revenue profile has changed significantly in favour of value‐added products and the company is in a strong position to capitalize on economic recovery and the government’s focus on affordable housing, education, and healthcare. Its new spinning project is expected to create significant shareholder value because of cost advantage and marginal cost of funding (alleviating capex concerns) Sintex will continue to benefit from its leadership position in prefabricated structures (prefabs) and water tanks in the domestic market. Improvement in working capital management, its well‐established distribution network with strong brand name and integration of its overseas subsidiaries will support valuation rerating. At its CMP of Rs 103, the stock trades at 5.3x our FY17 expected earnings and 4.7x EV/EBITDA. In the past five years it has traded at a P/E of 5x‐12x and average EV/EBITDA of around 7x. We have valued the company at 8x our FY17 EPS of Rs 19.5 to arrive at a price target of Rs 155, translating into an EV/EBITDA valuation of 6x FY17. We are initiating coverage with a BUY rating.

Business Risks • Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices: Major raw materials used for
plastic products (~56%% of raw material cost, ~35% of revenue) are derivates of crude oil. Significant fluctuation in raw material prices may affect the company’s margins.
• The company derives 60% revenue from overseas in its custom moulding business out of which ~40% is in US dollars and 60% is in euros. Currency volatility could impact revenue growth and profitability.
• Sintex has undertaken large‐sized capacity expansion cum modernization projects in textiles and plastics — the combined project costs is Rs 9.5 bn. Any delay in execution of the project and creating a market for its products would impact financials.
About the Company Sintex operates in two segments — textiles and plastics — that contributed around 10% and 90% respectively to consolidated revenue. It has 36 manufacturing plants spread over nine countries and four continents. Textile segment is focused on men’s shirting in the premium fashion category. The product mix in the plastics division primarily comprises prefabs, monolithic constructions, industrial custom moulding, water tanks, transmission & distribution accessories, fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), and storage tanks. Sintex is a market leader in water tanks and prefabs in India. Its established presence in the water tanks business has made brand Sintex a generic name. The company has created a global footprint across the continents of USA and Europe through strategic acquisitions. Its infrastructure projects include EPC in power, creating check posts for state governments, creating pollution management infrastructure, and a low‐cost housing project. Infrastructure business is also executing the Sintex group’s EPC contract worth ~Rs 14bn (spinning project in Gujarat). Sintex Business snapshot (FY15)
