Initiating Coverage

Dabur India (DABIND)

Creating waves in the FMCG space… Dabur India Ltd, (DIL) with its diverse product portfolio, extensive presence in under-penetrated categories and ability to foray into new categories by successfully driving inorganic and organic growth is expected to capitalise on growing FMCG trends. Subsequently, we expect net sales and net profit to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% and 19.5%, respectively from FY09E-FY11E. We are initiating coverage on the company with a PERFORMER rating.

Diversification of product portfolio led by inorganic growth DIL’s product portfolio is present across diverse categories, namely personal care, health care, home care, foods and classical ayurvedic products. It is expected to sustain its sales growth momentum buoyed by a slew of product launches and synergistic inorganic acquisitions (Balsara & Fem Care Pharma Ltd), thereby, enabling it to further supplement its product portfolio.

Renewed focus on international and consumer health businesses On account of the acceleration in growth witnessed in DIL’s international and

consumer health businesses, we foresee revenue contributions from these divisions increase significantly. Subsequently, we expect the international business to contribute 24% to total revenues in FY11E (from 18.5% in FY09), buoyed by expansions into new regions and the consumer health business contributing 8.7% to total revenues in FY11E (from 7.3% in FY09) led by new ayurvedic product launches in its over the counter (OTC) portfolio.

Effectively set to withstand deficient rainfall Although the deficiency in rainfall could affect demand in rural areas, we do not expect DIL to be severely affected, given the non-discretionary nature of its products and its presence across an array of price points. Additionally, since only 17% of the company’s raw material costs are dependent on agri-commodities (sugar and edible oil), we believe the company would be least vulnerable to inflationary pressures. Valuation

At the current market price of Rs 122, DIL is trading at 23.0x its FY10E EPS of Rs 5.3 and 19.1x its FY11E EPS of Rs 6.4. Although, historically DIL has traded at a discount to HUL, given DIL’s high growth rate, foray into new categories via synergistic acquisitions (Balsara and FCPL) and strong earnings visibility, we value the stock at 22.0x its FY11E EPS of Rs 6.4. This is on par with the multiple of HUL. Using the DCF methodology, we have arrived at a fair value of Rs 142, which is 22.0x its FY11E EPS of Rs 6.4. We are initiating coverage on the stock with a PERFORMER rating.

Company Background

DIL is one of India’s largest FMCG companies positioned as an ayurvedic and herbal specialist with interests in health care, personal care and food products. The company was founded by Dr SK Burman in 1884 as a small pharmacy in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal. In 2003, DIL approved the demerger of its pharmaceuticals business from the FMCG business into a separate company as part of plans to provide greater focus to both businesses. With this, DIL now largely comprises the FMCG business, which includes personal care products, healthcare products and ayurvedic specialties, while the pharmaceuticals business includes allopathic, oncology formulations and bulk drugs. As part of its inorganic growth strategy, in FY05 DIL acquired Balsara's hygiene and home products businesses, a leading provider of oral care and household care products in the Indian market. In 2007, the company merged its wholly owned subsidiary, Dabur Foods, into the parent company Dabur India Ltd in order to unlock operational efficiencies and extract synergies.

The company possesses four strategic business units, namely the consumer care division (CCD), the international business division (IBD), the consumer health care division (CHD) and the retail venture (new U) that is currently in the development phase. DIL operates under five flagship brands, each of which has its own distinct brand identity. These are Dabur as the master brand for all natural healthcare products, Vatika for premium personal care, Hajmola for digestives, Real for fruit-based drinks, Chyawanprash for traditional ayurvedic revitalisers and Anmol for affordable personal care products. In FY09, DIL acquired Fem Care Pharma Ltd (FCPL), a leading player in the skin care segment for Rs 203.7 crore in an all-cash deal.

Investment Rationale Diverse product portfolio to sustain sales growth momentum DIL is present across a wide spectrum of market segments namely, personal care, healthcare, home care and foods. Buoyed by this diverse product portfolio, a slew of product launches and synergistic inorganic acquisitions, DIL’s revenues have grown at a CAGR of 12.9% from Rs 1371.0 crore in FY03 to Rs 2834.1 crore in FY09. The company reported a 19.1% YoY growth in revenues post the Balsara acquisition. This supplemented its oral care portfolio and enabled it to foray into the home care category. In light of the successful turnaround of Balsara, DIL has demonstrated its ability to integrate acquisitions and complement its product portfolio. Subsequently, post the Fem Care Pharma Ltd (FCPL) acquisition undertaken in FY09, we expect the company to deliver similar results, by successfully integrating its skincare portfolio and gaining significant presence in the skin care market. This will enable sales to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% from FY09-FY11E. Furthermore, we believe any further acquisitions undertaken will enable DIL to diversify further by adding new lines of growth and giving a fillip to revenues accordingly.

Altering the revenue mix with a renewed focus The company primarily operates through three strategic business units, namely the consumer care division (CCD), the consumer health division (CHD) and the international business division (IBD).

Any further inorganic acquisitions would accelerate growth further


5 | P a g e

The CCD division remains the largest contributor to revenues. However, its contribution to sales was lower in FY09 at 72% on account of higher revenue inflows from the CHD and IBD, which contributed 7.3% and 18.5%, respectively, in FY09 as against 6.0% and 16% in FY08. On account of the acceleration in growth witnessed across international regions, we expect the IBD to contribute 24% of revenues in FY11E buoyed by geographic expansions into new regions such as Uzbekistan, Guinea and Belarus. In addition to this, with planned initiatives aimed at introducing new ayurvedic products in modern, ready to use formats, which would further complement the company’s OTC portfolio, we expect the CHD to contribute 8.7% of revenues in FY11E. Consumer care division to grow by inorganic leaps and organic bounds The CCD, which forms the mainstay of DIL’s business, has grown both organically and inorganically registering a CAGR sales growth of 23% from Rs 1185.5 crore in FY06 to Rs 2207.1 crore in FY09. Exhibit 5: Organic and inorganic growth driving CCD (FY05-FY09)

- Inorganic growth - Organic growth


On acquiring the loss making Balsara Hygiene and Home Products and turning it into a profitable business within six months, DIL gained market share in categories such as oral care and home care where it had a negligible presence. In light of the Balsara turnaround, wherein DIL demonstrated its ability to grow inorganically and complement its product portfolio successfully, we expect the FCPL acquisition (FY09) to deliver similar results. DIL’s acquisition of FCPL for 2.6x its FY09 sales, at a price per share of Rs 800, seems expensive. However, we believe FCPL’s extensive range of products will augur well for the company, which is looking to expand its presence in the skin care segment. We expect FCPL to add around 4% to the topline and 3% to the EPS in FY10E-FY11E.

The acquisitions undertaken will fuel growth inorganically by unlocking synergies and eradicating duplicity in distribution and marketing. Additionally, the ongoing product/variant launches, forays into new and sub-categories and integration of the foods division (a wholly owned subsidiary of the company that was merged with the parent company) with the CCD will boost growth organically. Furthermore, given the vast market size and abysmally low penetration levels prevalent in certain key categories (as given below) in which the CCD operates, we expect CCD revenues to increase to Rs 2254.8 crore in FY10E and to Rs 2596.7 crore in FY11E.

Hair Care With a CAGR sales growth of 20.6% from FY06 to FY09, DIL’s hair care category remains the largest contributor to CCD with a 31.1% contribution in FY09. The company, which operates in the coconut based, amla based and light hair oil market continued to keep pace with the hair oil market growing at 22.8% in FY09 and 15.8% in Q1FY10 respectively. With the introduction of a Re 1 sachet, Dabur Amla the dominant brand in the heavy amla based hair oils market (industry size- Rs 538.0 crore), grew by 20.4% in FY09 and 14.3% in Q1FY10. Dabur Anmol Sarson Amla also grew by 29.7% in FY09 on the back of consistent promotional efforts to drive its reach in mass markets.

In order to fuel growth, enhance market share and expand the hair oil market DIL, forayed into the light hair oil market (industry size Rs 500 crore) in FY09 by launching two variants such as, Vatika Enriched Almond Oil and Dabur Amla Flower Magic Oil.

In the shampoo category, DIL’s brands have gained both value and volume market share in FY09 to 6.5% and 6.1%, respectively. Vatika shampoos, continued to outgrow the industry with a 31.5% growth in FY09 and a 48.6% growth in Q1FY10, led by Vatika Smooth and Silky shampoo. With the launch of three variants namely, Henna Cream, Root Strengthening and Black Shine the Vatika brand enhanced its volume market share to 6.8% in FY09 from 5.7% in FY08. In order to drive growth in this segment, DIL has leveraged the Vatika brand, by foraying into the anti-dandruff shampoo market (that constitutes more than one-third of the total shampoo market in India) with the launch of Vatika Dandruff Control. The company has also launched Dabur Total Protect Health Shampoo, which offers consumers a natural alternative to chemically formulated shampoos. By creating a health shampoo category, DIL is not only expanding the shampoo market but also driving growth. As a result of these initiatives, we expect hair care revenues to clock a CAGR revenue growth of 16.3% from Rs 509.9 crore in FY08 to Rs 802.4 crore in FY11E.

Oral care DIL’s oral care segment is the second largest contributor to CCD with a CAGR sales growth of 9.1% from Rs 292.5 crore in FY06 to Rs 379.6 crore in FY09. DIL’s toothpaste portfolio, which includes Meswak (premium brand), Dabur Red (mid-priced) and Babool (economy), recorded a 11.3% growth in FY09 and 20.3% growth in Q1FY10. After two quarters of sluggish growth, Babool bounced back with a 16.4% and 22.8% growth in FY09 and QFY10, respectively. In addition, the Dabur Red brand continued to grow by 21.4% in FY09 and by 18.4% in Q1FY10.

Although the company’s red toothpowder remained sluggish with a market share of 30.3% overall, DIL increased its market share in the oral care market to 10% in FY09, making it the third largest oral care provider. With low per capita consumption of toothpaste and low penetration levels of oral care, particularly in rural areas, we believe DIL, with the strategic integration of the Balsara brands acquired (Promise, Babool, Meswak) is well positioned to sustain growth in this category.

Health supplements This segment primarily constitutes three products. These are Dabur Chyawanprash, a flagship brand in this category, Dabur Glucose, a replenishment supplement and Dabur Honey. Dabur Chyawanprash, which dominates the branded chyawanprash industry, witnessed a rise in market share (volume) from 62.3% in FY08 to 64.1% in FY09. Supported by the launch of a new sugar free variant (Dabur Chyawanprakash), growing health concerns and the recent foray into the malted food drinks category with the launch of Chyawan Junior, Dabur Chyawanprash continues to outgrow the branded chyawanprash industry.

Although, Dabur Glucose has grown steadily, it managed to outpace the growth of the glucose industry only post Q3FY09. It clocked a growth of 34.1% in Q1FY10 on the back of the launch of two new variants (orange and lemon). With a growth of 17.2% in Q1FY10 and the introduction of a sugar free Chyawanprash variant, we believe the health supplement category will continue to sustain its growth, going forward.

Foods division With sales growing by 15.8% from Rs 236.8 crore FY08 to Rs 274.4 crore FY09, the foods division, which once operated as a wholly owned subsidiary, has been merged back into the parent company and integrated with the CCD. With a 13.3% revenue contribution to the CCD, the foods division primarily consists of fruit beverages under the Real & Activ brands and culinary additives under the Hommade brand. Dabur’s Real and Activ, which registered a 14.9% growth in FY09, dominate the juices market with a market share of around 50%. By aligning its Activ range of juices in the health and wellness category via the “no sugar” campaigns we believe the emergence of health and lifestyle concerns coupled with the launch of new variants (Real Burrst) will enable DIL to capitalise on the growing fruit juice market. Moreover, with plans to expand its range of ready to cook products under the Hommade brand, we expect the high margin foods category to sustain its grown momentum with a 16.3% CAGR revenue growth from FY09-FY11E. This division will hence, enhance its revenue contribution to CCD sales from 13.3% in FY09 to 14.3% in FY11E.

Digestives and candies With a 7.3% contribution to CCD in FY09, DIL’s digestive portfolio comprises two offerings, namely the Hajmola tablet (tasty digestive) and Hajmola candy (tangy tasting digestive). Led by a host of marketing campaigns promoting Hajmola as a post meal digestive, this category registered an 18% growth rate in FY09. With the introduction of new variants such as Pudina and Nimbu and the rollout of 50 paise sachets, we believe the company will continue to lead the digestives market.

Home Care On acquiring Balsara, DIL acquired a range of home care products comprising air fresheners (Odonil), mosquito repellents (Odomos) and surface cleaners (Odopic, Sani Fresh). This category contributes 5.7% to CCD sales (as on FY09). With the soft launch of Sanifresh Extra power in the toilet cleaner market, the launch of two kitchen cleaner variants under the Dazzl brand and the foray into the air freshener gel category with the Odonil brand, the home care portfolio registered a 9.7% growth in FY09. Aided by initiatives undertaken to expand the Odomos range, including the introduction of a spray format, the brand continues to dominate the market with an 84% market share. Going forward, we believe the rapid rise in urbanisation will fuel consumer need to live in cleaner and safer environments. Hence, this will enable the company to capitalise on the growth potential emanating from this under penetrated category.

Baby & skin care Dabur Lal Tail, a key product in the baby massage oil segment grew by 20% in FY09 on the back of unabated promotional initiatives. Driven by increasing sales of Gulabari rose water and its extension into the mainstream skin care market with the introduction of new products such as Gulabari Moisturizing Cold Cream and Gulabari Premium Rose Touch Face Freshener spray, the Gulabari brand grew by 40.6% in FY09 to Rs 40.0 crore. In Q3FY09, DIL acquired FCPL a leader in the fairness bleach category with a 60% market share.

The skin care category (including baby care) contributes only 5.4% to total CCD sales as on FY09. However, with the acquisition of FCPL and the company’s plan to hinge its skin care business vis-à-vis three platforms namely, Gulabari (herbal), Fem (synthetic) and the recently launched ayurvedic platform (Uveda), we expect this segment to contribute 7.2% to CCD sales in FY11E. By leveraging Fem’s distribution network (which consists of 25,000 parlours) for the promotion and cross-selling of upcoming products within its Gulabari and Uveda product range, we believe DIL will become the third largest player in the skin care market.

Dabur to widen its international blueprint DIL’s international business can be bifurcated into two. It consists of focus markets, where the company chiefly operates with its own manufacturing facilities through its subsidiaries. It also constitutes potential markets, where the company provides promotional support to its products by catering to specific geographies.

DIL’s international business spans across key geographies such as South Asia, North & West Africa and the Middle East. With sales growing at a CAGR of 34.4% from Rs 216.0 crore in FY06 to Rs 524.3 in FY09, the international business has emerged as the fastest growing division in the company.

This acceleration in revenues supported by strong volume growth in the hair care and oral care categories has significantly enhanced the contribution of the international business division to consolidated revenues from 11.4% in FY06 to 18.5% in FY09. Although the focus markets continue to contribute a majority of the revenues, we believe the growth emanating from the company’s potential markets led by geographical expansion into new economies such as Uzbekistan, Guinea and Belarus will enhance IBD’s contribution to total revenues from 18.5% in FY09 to 24% in FY11E.

Consumer healthcare — the new driving force DIL’s CHD, which comprises a range of healthcare products, can be classified into over the counter products (OTC) and ethicals. While the Indian OTC market is estimated at Rs 750 crore, the Indian ethicals market is estimated at Rs 50 crore. DIL’s OTC portfolio encompasses generics and branded products namely, healthcare products such as Dashmularishta and Ashokarishta, cough syrups (Dabur Honitus), Dabur Active Antacid and Badam Tail. It contributes 57% to total CHD revenues and commands a 10% market share in the OTC health category.

Exhibit 25: A break-up of the consumer health division (CHD) Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com Research

* OTC-Over the counter

Although CHD sales grew only moderately by 5.4% to Rs 155.8 crore in FY08, it registered a 32.7% growth in FY09 on account of new launches and robust growth across categories. While the Honitus franchise grew by 13.6%, led by the launch of the honey mint and mulethi powder variants, Dabur Badam Tail posted sales of Rs 6.0 crore, growing by 20.6% in FY09. With aggressive marketing initiatives and the transfer of key brands mainly, Hingoli, Janam Ghunti, Pudin Hara, Sat Isab Gol and Gripe water from the CCD to the CHD, the company plans to renew its focus on CHD. Hence, we expect the company to enhance the contribution of CHD to total revenues, going forward.

Effective cost pressure measures to protect margins and tackle paucity in monsoons In an inflationary environment, most FMCG companies are compelled to take calibrated price increases in order to protect EBITDA margins and simultaneously, maintain volume growth and market share. As a result of this practice, when inflation reached its peak of 12-13% in September 2009, on the back of a rise in crude based and agri-based commodity prices, several FMCG companies took price hikes to pass on some of the increase in raw material costs to consumers.

However, while most FMCG companies raised prices by around 15-20% (average), DIL raised prices by only 5%, thereby enabling the company to maintain margins effectively in an inflationary scenario. We can attribute this to several cost management initiatives undertaken by the company. These involve aggressive planning, forecasting and hedging especially on international exchanges and the dependence of the company’s input basket (crude derivatives, herbs, sugar and edible oils) on commodities.

Although, the delay in the onset of monsoons could affect FMCG demand in rural areas, we do not expect the company to be adversely affected on account of the non-discretionary nature of FMCG products. Moreover, we believe the company’s presence across an array of price points will enable it to benefit from any down trading possibilities. The paucity in monsoons and rising EL Nino risks can be compared to the drought situation in 2002-03, wherein lower agricultural GDP growth resulted in lower FMCG Y-o-Y growth. However, in the current period (2008-09), we believe the impact on consumption will be offset by increased government efforts aimed to boost disposable incomes in rural India including higher allocations to the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), farm loan waivers and higher minimum support prices (MSPs).

Conversely, with the scarcity in monsoons further aggravating the rise in agri-commodity prices such as sugar, edible oil and honey, we believe the company would have to undertake price increases in order to pass on any rise in the cost of these raw materials and ease pressure on margins. However, since sugar and edible oils, (which are mainly affected by drought like situations), constitute only 3.5% and 13.7% of total raw material cost, DIL’s input basket will be less vulnerable to inflationary pressures. Additionally, given the company’s ability to manage cost pressures effectively, we expect the company to effectively combat inflation and protect margins.

Risks & Concerns

Delay in retail foray The company, which had planned to establish 350 retail stores of minimum store area of 700 sq ft and maximum area of 6000 sq ft over a period of five years, has trimmed down expansion plans due to severe financial pressures faced by the retail industry. The company has opened nine stores and is fine-tuning the format, location strategy and the rental costs of the stores to reflect the fall in real estate prices. However, the velocity of sales expected has been adversely impacted, thereby pressurising margins. Any significant losses incurred can subsequently impact earnings. Foreign currency risks Since a significant portion of the company’s revenues is earned in foreign currencies, any expansion into new geographies exposes them to additional foreign currency risks associated with such diversification. Deficient monsoons Depending on the severity of the monsoon deficiency, the company (which derives around 50% of its revenues from rural areas) can be significantly impacted on account of a slowdown in rural spending. Inflationary pressures Key raw materials for the company, which include edible oils, sugar and crude, are susceptible to inflationary pressures. This is especially so with the shortfall in monsoons. Subsequently, any significant rise in them can hamper margins.

Financials Steady growth in sales

Sales in FY09 grew by 18.3% to Rs 2834.1 crore from Rs 2396.3 crore in FY08. This was on the back of robust volume growth in key categories such as toothpaste, hair care and foods especially in rural India. It was led by rural India along with the resurgence of the international business division. Going forward, we expect net sales to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% over FY09-11E from Rs 2834.1 crore in FY09 to Rs 3875.6 crore in FY11E. This will be led by new product launches and the company’s foray into skincare via the FCPL acquisition. The company is expected to benefit from a better distribution footprint and operational efficiencies. Exhibit 33: Consolidated revenue growth (Rs crore)

EBITDA margin to improve The EBITDA margin dipped to 16.6% in FY09 from 17.1% in FY08 mainly on account of severe inflation witnessed during the year. This was fuelled by the drastic rise in agri-commodity and crude oil prices. Going forward, however, we expect the EBITDA margin to improve to 17.4% in FY10E and 17.8% in FY11E. This will be on account of higher contributions from high margin businesses such as foods (CCD) and consumer health (CHD), a decline in some key input costs and the consolidation of FCPL’s skin care product portfolio.

Net profit to grow at 19.5% CAGR

The net profit has grown by 17.5% to Rs 390.8 crore in FY09 against Rs 333.8 crore in FY08 on the back of higher EBITDA margin led by higher contributions from fruit juices and skin care segment post the acquisition of FCPL. Going forward, we expect the bottomline to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% over FY09-11E to Rs 557.8 crore in FY11E mainly backed by sustainable EBITDA margin.

Return ratios remain attractive Despite the company’s foray into retail, return ratios remain at attractive levels. In FY09, DIL’s ROCE and ROE dipped to 46.1% and 54.4%, respectively, due to the acquisition of FCPL. This resulted in funds being deposited in an escrow account for which the corresponding returns were not yet accruing to the company. Although we expect the return ratios to dip in FY10E on the back of retail losses we expect the company to sustain ratios in FY11E, once the FCPL consolidation is complete.

Valuations Historically, the stock has traded in a range of 15-29x its one-year forward earnings. At the current market price of Rs 122, DIL is trading at 23.0x its FY10E EPS of Rs 5.3 and 19.1x its FY11E EPS of Rs 6.4. Although historically, DIL has traded at a discount to Hindustan Unilever (India’s largest FMCG Company), given DIL’s high growth rate, foray into new categories via synergistic acquisitions (Balsara and FCPL) and strong earnings visibility, we value the stock at 22.0x its FY11E EPS of Rs 6.4. This is on par with the multiple of HUL. With a renewed focus on the rapidly growing international, consumer health businesses and the acquisition of FCPL, we have assigned a fair value of Rs 142 per share.

Market cap to sales We compare DIL with its peers on a market cap to sales basis. The stock is trading at 2.8x its FY11E sales, which is at a 22% discount to Colgate’s market cap to sales and 17.6% discount to Nestlé’s market cap to sales. Volume growth from rural India is outpacing growth from that of urban India. Hence, we believe DIL, which derives 50% of its revenues from rural India and aggressively engages in new launches, would be able sustain its growth momentum. Subsequently, we believe DIL should command a market cap to sales multiple of 3.2x, which translates to a fair value of Rs 142 per share.
