Index Details Kirloskar Brothers Ltd (KBL) faced a rough patch in 2016. The sharp

sell off in crude oil prices disrupted the business model of its most

profitable operations (SPP Pumps Ltd, UK). Further the prolonged

drought and challenges of working with Indian Government bodies

sharply impacted its domestic operations. For FY16, The company

reported a net loss of Rs 32.2 crore, which came as a wakeup call for

the management. With a view to stem losses and turnaround its

business operations, the company has undertaken a massive

restructuring exercise across all verticals. This in our opinion is a

favourable move and should restore KBL back to profitability. In

addition the Government’s thrust on agriculture and infrastructure

augurs well for growth, and KBL being the largest pump player is

expected to be the biggest beneficiary.

We expect consolidated sales to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% over FY17-

19 from Rs 2,594 cr in FY16 to Rs 3,139 cr by FY19 on the back of

healthy growth in the product business (expected CAGR growth of

8.6% to Rs 2,770 cr by FY19). While EBITDA is expected to grow at a

CAGR of 57.9% from Rs 65.3 cr in FY16 to Rs 257 cr by FY19,

earnings are expected to grow at a faster clip of 263.1% CAGR to Rs

139.7 cr over the same period.

We Initiate coverage on KBL Brothers as a BUY with the price

objective of Rs 317- representing a potential upside of 107% from

the CMP of Rs 153. At the CMP of Rs 153 the stock is trading at

12.7X and 9.0X its estimated earnings for FY18 and FY19. We have

assigned a PE multiple of 18X (average PE multiple of 18X) on FY19

EPS of Rs 17.6 to arrive at the target price

We are optimistic about the company’s prospects given that:

1. The share of the unorganized sector in the pump market has fallen from 60% in FY10 to 44% in FY15. We expect the share to further fall to 35% by FY18. This shift is expected to drive revenue growth for the products business of KBL.

2. In the medium term, monsoon 2016 being at par with Long Period

Average (LPA) augurs well for the standard pumps segment. With rainfall projected at 94-104% of the LPA, we expect renewed vigor in enquiries for pumps

3. The Government’s focus on creating 100 smart cities and its

thrust on affordable housing for all (11 crore dwelling units) is a Rs 13.3 lac cr opportunity. KBL being the market leader is expected to be the biggest beneficiary.

4. KBL has undertaken a restructuring exercise across all business verticals -

The company is diversifying its UK operations from predominately Offshore Oil and Gas to downstream and desalination projects which are much more stable and carry a far lower risk. This is expected to drive the order book going forth.

Non performance of the projects business has prompted KBL to limit its exposure to this segment. Instead, it has decided to refocus on its stronghold i.e the products segment. This should restore profitability in the future.

To complete the range of product offerings of Kirloskar Ebara, KBL has acquired Rodelta, whose products are a strategic fit.

KBL has initiated talks with state Government bodies to revive stalled projects. This should clear dead inventories and clean up its balance sheet. It is also looking at alternatives to boost the off-take of its manufactured equipment.

Key Investment Highlights

Indian pumps sector set for robust growth

Estimates on the size of the Indian pump market vary from Rs 8,500-12,000 cr

as not much data is available [as bulk of the market ~44% is unorganized]. In

comparison to the global market, which is pegged to grow at a 6% CAGR to

USD 56 bn in CY 2017 from USD 47 bn in CY 2014, the Indian market is

expected to grow at a robust rate of 10-12% CAGR by FY19.

The Indian pump industry can be classified on the basis of user segments as

shown below.

Agriculture: The demand for pumps from the agri sector was disrupted over

the last couple of years due to severe drought. The demand from this segment

diminishes when rainfall is excessive or exceedingly low, while it thrives best

when rainfall is reasonable. With rainfall projected at 94-104% of the LPA, we

expect renewed vigor in enquiries for pumps. The central allocation of Rs

20,000 cr to irrigation & water conservation will keep demand elevated for

pumps. Further, the GOI is increasingly focusing on off grid solar pumps for

agri use. This is expected to propel demand for the high margin solar pumps.

Modi Govt’s thrust on irrigation & energy efficient pumps to further fuel

demand

The central government has clearly spelt out its aim to increase the irrigation

penetration domestically. In the Union Budget FY16-17, the Government

allocated Rs 5,840 cr to irrigation. Moreover it has laid emphasis on fast

tracking of 89 irrigation projects under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit

Programme (outlay of ~Rs 17,000 crore in FY17) and a further Rs 86,500

crore has been earmarked to be spent over the next five years. This should

propel demand going ahead for KBL.

Building Services: Increasing urbanization has led the horizontal expansion

of India's cities, putting stress on their infrastructure. However with

urbanization expected to only accelerate, vertical growth is the only option.

This should foster the growth of Building services. Further the Govt is focused

on creating 100 smart cities and affordable housing for all (expected to lead to

the construction of 11 crore dwelling units) by 2022. This massive

infrastructure push would need investments to the tune of Rs 13.3 lac crore.

With pumps being an integral part of building services, the demand is only

expected to be strong. And KBL, by virtue of being the largest player, is

expected to be the biggest beneficiary.

Water & Wastewater: The ambitious Smart Cities project, Swacch Bharat

Mission and the emphasis on better sanitation, safe disposal of waste/sewage,

clean water for all is expected to propel the demand for pumps.

Power Generation: The installed capacity for power is projected to grow to

463.54 GW by 2022 from the current 275 GW. Increased usage of washed

coal and expansion of nuclear power should boost the demand for pumps.

KBL’s market share dominance in the pump sector to continue

KBL, by virtue of its century old experience in pumps, commands the highest

market share of 12%. Considering the fact that ~44% of the pump market is

unorganized, KBL has a 21.5% market share within the organized sector. We

expect KBL to retain its market leadership position in the domestic pump

business due to its wide product range and superior distribution network.

Best placed to take advantage of the shift in the pump business

from the unorganized to organized sector

The unorganized sector is mainly dominated by assemblers, cheap imports or

SME players who do not have much expertise in manufacturing cost efficient

pumps. The unorganized sector has dominated purely on the basis of cheap

pricing. Our channel checks suggest that the unorganized sector pumps are

~30-40% cheaper than pumps offered by the organized sector. However this

cheap pricing is purely optical. The maintenance cost & power consumption

costs (~85-90% of the cost over the life of the pump) of these inefficient

pumps far outweigh the cost of procurement. Increased awareness has led to

a gradual shift away from the unorganized sector towards organized players.

As a result the share of the unorganized sector has tumbled from 60% in 2010

to 45% in 2014 and is expected to further fall to 35% in FY18

Restructuring across territories after a rough FY16

KBL ran into a rough patch during FY16 on the back of slow order off take

and orders put on hold in its contracting business, which accounted for ~25%

of its consolidated business.

UK subsidiary- highest profit maker turning red

Historically the debt free UK business was the highest profit generating entity

of KBL and alone contributed Rs ~55 cr of the consolidated PBIT of the

company. However the UK operations of KBL took an ugly turn in FY16 and

posted a net loss of Rs 8 cr.

What went wrong?

About 40% of the UK’s order book comes from the offshore Oil and Gas sector

to which KBL was one of the three suppliers. However as the crude oil

collapsed to below $50 per barrel, the operations of all the North Sea offshore

industries were rendered unviable (Break-even of $65). This has severely

affected order flows and no revival is anticipated given the bleak outlook for oil

prices. Restructuring measures undertaken

On the back of several restructuring measures, the management expects that

the operations in 2017 would not be a replica of 2016 and the company will

not lose cash. However it will be an uphill task to attain the operational levels

of 2013/2014.

In order to revive the UK operations the management has pivoted from the

offshore Oil and Gas industry to the downstream Oil and Gas segment and

desalination projects. These businesses are much more stable and carry far

lower risk. KBL has been receiving favourable enquiries from players in the

downstream and desalination industry. These could convert into sales

considering the rich expertise of KBL in complex pumps, which require a lot of

commissioning support.

Acquisition of Rodelta temporarily dented bottomline for FY16

KBL acquired Rodelta in July 2015, when it was in receivership mode

(equivalent of a BIFR case in India).The Acqusition of Rodelta is strategically

very important as it is an almost exact fit to the missing products in KBL

Ebara’s (Indian Subsidiary of KBL) portfolio. Further Rodelta also holds

approvals from Statoil and Shell and this was something KBL Ebara was

seeking since long. The acquisition is strategic not only from the customer

access perspective but from the angle of completion of KBL Ebara's portfolio

as well.

Rodelta’s order book was zero on the date of acquisition as the company had

gone into receivership seven months prior to it. The company had

accumulated losses of ~ Rs 7.5 cr for 2015 which were absorbed by KBL in its

consolidated numbers.

Shifting focus from the less certain project business to the steady

products segment

KBL which historically was only into the products business, forayed into the

project business sighting the high margins. The lack of execution experience

and inability to deal with the vagaries of Govt methods of working and

changing policies took its toll on the profitability of KBL. Slower economic

growth, unavailability of land, unviable projects initiated by contractees and

customers’ inability to take delivery due to the liquidity crunch further

hampered the projects business.

Restructuring of business operation to stem losses from the project

business

KBL has consciously chosen to avoid projects which entail considerable

amount of civil works. Further as a policy it has chosen to focus strictly on its

skills set and supply systems to existing EPC players. These contracts are

entered only if they fall in the framework of their terms and conditions.

- 9 - Tuesday, 20th September, 2016

This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page.

This new change in policy has resulted in the projects business imploding from

a high of 57% of total revenues to 25% in FY16. The gains associated with

this strategic shift were not visible as the company wrote off Rs 146.5 crore of

painful receivables over FY2011-16 along with aggressive provisioning for

doubtful receivable of Rs 55 crore over the same period.

With no further write-offs expected the full benefit of this transition

should start reflecting gainfully over the forecasted period.

Talks with state governments to clear long held projects

KBL has contracted for many state Government- sponsored projects for which

the equipment has already been manufactured by KBL. But off-take is,

however still pending due to various reasons (change in design, actual site

dimension different for which equipment was made etc). This has

unnecessarily ballooned the inventory of KBL.

In order to provide traction to clearance of this inventory, KBL is in talks with

concerned authorities to find the best possible mutually beneficial solution.

The efforts have shown some positive traction and infact some of its stuck up

projects are showing signs of revival (one such project is the Sripada Sagar

project of South India). KBL is also persuading state governments to see if

these manufactured systems could be used elsewhere for other projects.

KBL has refocused energies on the products business to drive

revenue growth

While KBL is not completely shunning its projects business, the company

would be choosy and only pursue business which involves a working advance

of 10% and is backed by the additional comfort of a letter of credit. Post this

revamp products’ revenue share, which stood at 51% in FY12, has since

improved to 75% in FY16. We expect the share of the product business to

jump to 90% by FY19 on the back of:

Rising penetration of solar energy which could boost demand for solar pumps

Government projects like smart cities, affordable housing, etc, will create

demand across a different product range for KBL (building pumps, municipal

pump etc)

Revival in the construction industry especially long stuck redevelopment

projects

Above normal monsoon to lift demand from the agricultural sector

Change in customer preference from assembled and cheap pumps to high

quality pumps

Overall sales to grow at a CAGR of 6.6%

On the back of the above we expect sales to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from Rs

2,594 cr in FY16 to 3,139 cr in FY19. Though the topline growth is marginal, it

is still encouraging given that KBL has consciously chosen to de-grow the

projects business and shift its focus to the products segment. Sales from the

project business is expected to fall from Rs ~434 cr in FY16 to Rs 369 cr by

FY19. Revenues from the product business are expected to grow at a CAGR

of 8.6% over FY16-19.

Revamp in the projects business to drive potential margin boost

Consolidated EBITDA margins of the company fell to an all time low of 2.5% in

FY16 mainly driven by

Cost overruns, receivable write off’s and high provisioning in the project

business

Cyclical headwinds in the UK operation

Acquisition of Rodelta

Denial of an extension of license for steam turbines, which was a highly

profitable business

In order to improve profitability, the management has taken several corrective

measures which in our opinion should be meaningfully accretive.

We expect a steady revival in the fortunes of KBL going forth as EBITDA

margins are expected to rise from the current 2.5% to 8.2% by FY19.

Consolidated PAT margins are expected to revive post FY16 from -1.3% to

4.4% by FY19.

Capacity redundancy to lead to debt reduction

Across all its manufacturing capacities, the average utilization for FY16 has

been ~50-55%. The redundancy in the system should be comfortable to cater

to the projected demand growth over the next two-three years.

Barring the maintenance capex of Rs 25-30 crores, not much further

investments in assets are foreseen and we believe that the priority use of cash

would be to pare down debt from the existing level of Rs 300 crore to Rs 150-

180 crore by FY19.

This is expected to improve the profitability materially.

Financial Performance

On a standalone basis for Q1 FY17, KBL reported a flattish trend in revenues

at Rs 357 cr (-1.5% YoY). Despite sluggish sales we are pretty upbeat as this

demonstrates agility on the part of the management to execute its strategic

shift (towards products) without degrowing the revenues. In line with its other

focus to clean up its balance sheet, KBL wrote of high receivables and cost

over runs incurred in the project business. As a result margins took a hit of 50

bps YoY to 3.3%. The bottomline slumped to report a loss of Rs 3.2 cr (in

comparison to a profit of Rs 7.7 cr posted in Q1 FY16) on the back of a steep

decline in non operating income to 2.2 cr (11.5 cr in Q1 FY16).

In FY16, KBL’s consolidated net sales stood at Rs 2,721 crore registering a

degrowth of 4.4% YoY. EBITDA slumped 65.7% YoY to Rs 65.3 cr in FY16

against Rs 190.4 cr in FY15 on the back of huge losses in the domestic

project business and a debacle of the UK operations. EBITDA margins fell to a

life time low of 2.5% as compared to 7.0% YoY. This led to a net loss of Rs

32.2 cr in FY16 as compared to a profit of Rs 45.3 cr in FY15.

Financial Outlook

The strategic shift in focus from the painful projects business to the much

more stable products business is expected to bring about a revival in the

fortunes of KBL. We expect consolidated sales to grow at a CAGR of 6.6%

over FY17-19 on the back of a healthy growth in the product business; the

product segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from ~2160 cr in

FY16 to 2,770 cr in FY19.

Valuation

We Initiate coverage on KBL as a BUY with a price objective of Rs 317-

representing a potential upside of 107% from the CMP of Rs 153. At the CMP of

Rs 153 the stock is trading at 12.7X and 9.0X its estimated earnings for FY18

and FY19. We have assigned a PE multiple of 18X (average PE multiple of 18X)

on the FY19 EPS of Rs 17.6 to arrive at the target price. We are positive on the

company on account of the following factors:

Pedigree of management which deserves a higher multiple

Despite implosion of the projects business we expect the topline to show

slight growth (CAGR of 6.6%) propelled by the faster augmentation of

the products business

Margin profile to scale back to steady state levels of 7-8% from the

abysmal 2.5% clocked in FY16.

Cleaning up of the balance sheet with aggressive receivables write off

Foray into new segments of downstream Oil and Gas and desalination to

present new opportunities

Closure of decade old projects segment to lead to improved cash flow

and stem losses going forth
