“Excitement and Goodness” continues
Britannia in its 100th year is confident of becoming a “Total Foods company”
as it has 1) become the market leader in biscuits with 3% higher market share
than Parle (gained 9% from Parle in last 5 years), 2) strong innovations in
adjacencies with entry in Croissants and cream wafers 3) Backward
integration in the dairy segment 4) increased its direct distribution reach by
2.5x and expansion in rural distribution to benefit from the growth momentum
in rural India 5) Strong product pipeline of premium products priced at
Rs10,15 and 20 which contributes 40% of its sales 6) Rs2.4bn cost efficiency
gains targeted in FY19. Raw material cost inflation for Q1 was flat. However,
prices of sugar, wheat, palmoil, packaging and cashewnuts have started to
rise. BRIT has a forward cover for wheat till Jan’19 post which cost pressure
may necessitate it to take price increases in 4Q19. We estimate 19.4% PAT
CAGR over FY18-20 and value the stock at 46x Dec20 EPS (45xSept20 EPS
earlier) given strong growth outlook and arrive at a SOTP based 18-month
target price of Rs6568 (18-month target of Rs6170 earlier). Retain Accumulate.
Analyst Meet Takeaways: 1) Rural sales have grown in double digits and both
rural and urban demand outlook remains strong 2) BRIT has gained 9% market
share in the past 5 years and is now 3% ahead of Parle 3) BRIT is looking at
4-5% price increase towards 4QFY19 to ward off the impact of input cost
inflation as prices of sugar, wheat (forward cover till mid january,2019), palmoil,
packaging and cashew have started rising 3) upto Rs10 prcie point packs are
40% of sales and will remain a key driver of growth 4) BRIT has plans to bring
premium products like Wonderfuls, Nutrichoice heavens, Deuce, GoodDay
chocochips etc at a price points of Rs.10-20 which will accelerate growth rates
5) BRIT plans to re-launch most brands with changed packaing and flavors,
which will create consumer excitement and accelerate growth 6) 75% of
investments will be in existing businesses and 25% will be in new categories/
segments 7) Weak states growth has accelerated, now 18-20% of sales as
against 40% for industry 8) BRIT’s margins in Bread has improved significantly
with Margins in South being 1.7x margins in North 9) 1QFY19 other operating
income has declined by 53% as BRIT has not recognised GST incentives for
Bihar and Odisha as these states are yet to clear the same
Dairy: BRIT’s direct milk collection is 20,500liter/day and it needs 300,000
liters/day once the new unit is commissioned. BRIT plans to focus on Cheese,
Yoghurts, Dairy Whitener and Drinks while Butter, Ghee and UHT milk will be

up. Milk based drinks in Tetra packs will be launched in Sept’18, and new
cheese formats and dairy whiteners would be launched in 2H. It will continue
to outsource fresh/ short shelf life products.

Standalone Net sales increased 14.9% YoY to Rs 23.9bn, est 13% volume growth.
Gross profit increased 15.1% YoY to Rs 9.42bn on with only 50bps margin
expansion despite 53% decline in operating other income (state subsidy incentive).
Excluding the decline in other operating income, expansion in gross margins would
have been 130bps. EBITDA increased 17.6% to Rs3.68bn on 50bps margin
expansion to 15.3%. Cost efficiency programs led to 20bps decline in other
expenses despite 20bps higher staff costs. Other expenses have increased by
180bps QoQ, mainly due to ad-spends on IPL and other sports events. PBT
increased 18% on 13% higher financial income despite 47% increase in Interest
cost and 9% increase in Depreciation. Adj. PAT increased 18% YoY to Rs.2.46bn
as tax rate declined by 10bps to 34.4%. IBD remained flattish due to slowdown in
Middle east and Africa. Dairy business demand is subdued; profits are higher on
account of focus on higher margin products. Input costs were benign for Sugar,
wheat and SMP, although edible oil prices have risen due to higher import duty.
Mundra EOU have started commercial production and a Greenfield plant is being
set-up in Nepal for local manufacturing. Britannia launched “Triple Chocolate
Chunkies”, “Wonderfulls Butter Jeera & Mixed fruit" and "Multi Grain Rusk.
