Target Price `589 CMP `443 FY14 PE 15.1x
Index Details We initiate coverage on Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `588.7 (target 20x FY14 EPS) over a period of 21-24 months representing a potential upside of ~32.9%. At CMP of `443, the stock is trading at 18.1x and 15.1x its estimated earnings for FY13 and FY14, respectively. Driven by global acquisitions of Darling Group (Africa) & Cosmetica Nacional (Latin America) and strong growth of the Indian household insecticides business, we expect GCPL’s consolidated revenues to grow at 28.4% CAGR over the forecasted period FY12-FY14. In our opinion, our estimates are conservative and we expect a substantial re-rating of the price earnings (PE) multiple. Currently, the discount to peers is a mispricing which should narrow as the acquisitions start delivering.
Segment leadership and strong growth prospects of geographies to boost revenue and profitability
In Domestic market, GCPL not only has presence in high growth categories (Household Insecticides~25% 2 year CAGR) but also enjoys leadership status in the product categories of Hair Colors, Hair Extensions and Household Insecticides (barring for Soaps). In addition, GCPL’s dominant presence in the high growth markets of Africa, Indonesia and LatAm further boosts the growth prospects. We expect consolidated revenues to reach `7,711 crore (CAGR of 28.4%) on the back
of organic growth and acquisitions.
Domestic business to be the mainstay of operations
With the acquisition of household insecticides business, GCPL has not only diversified its revenues but also scaled up its domestic business. We expect revenues of household insecticides and soaps to grow at ~25.2% CAGR and ~18% CAGR respectively over the forecasted period FY12-14 on the back of disruptive innovations, synergies arising from integration of both businesses and focused marketing initiatives. Also, hair care business is expected to grow at ~16.2% CAGR over the forecasted period. Overall the domestic business revenues are expected to grow at ~17.6% CAGR to `3,820.9 crore in FY14 from `2,351.2 crore in FY11.
International business to drive growth
The hallmark of GCPL’s acquisitions is the fact that through these acquisitions it has achieved market dominance in all categories. Having consolidated all the overseas acquisitions, we expect GCPL, through its management expertise and cross pollination of products, to significantly grow these businesses in the medium to long term.

Accordingly, we expect the international business revenues to grow at ~43.6% CAGR to `3,890 crore by FY14.
Immense Product/Technology synergies amongst geographies
backed by disruptive innovations to provide an edge against peers
We expect cross-pollination of a large number of products across the different markets in which the company has a presence (e.g. potential launch of HIT magic paper in India). This is a major leverage that GCPL can draw on from its wide global offering. We expect many potential product synergies to play out over the next 2-3 years and add further scale to GCPL’s operations.
Valuation
We initiate coverage on Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `588.7 (target 20x FY14 EPS) over a period of 21-24 months representing
a potential upside of ~32.9%. At CMP of `443, the stock is trading at 18.1x and 15.1x its estimated earnings for FY13 and FY14, respectively. We have valued the stock at ~31.5% discount to Hindustan Unilever Ltd’s valuation of 29.2x FY13 EPS (as per Ventura estimates). Driven by global acquisitions of Darling Group in Africa and Cosmetica Nacional in Latin America and strong growth of the Indian household insecticides business, we expect GCPL’s consolidated revenues to grow at ~28.4% CAGR over the forecasted period FY12-FY14. In our opinion, our estimates are conservative and we expect a substantial re-rating of the price earnings (PE) multiple.

Company Background Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL),the flagship company of Godrej Group earlier operated in two categories - soaps and hair colors till FY09. Post FY09, GCPL overhauled its business as per a new “3 X 3” strategy that involves having a presence in three categories across three continents. The household insecticides business (which was earlier a joint venture between another Godrej group company and Sara Lee) was merged into GCPL. GCPL manufactures and distributes personal wash, home care and hair care products in India and internationally (1/3
rd of revenues come from international operations).
The company also has a strong emerging presence in markets outside India. With the acquisition of Keyline Brands in the United Kingdom, Rapidol, Kinky Group, Tura, Darling Group in Africa and Issue Group, Argencos, Cosmetica Nacional in Latin America, GCPL is best placed to benefit from presence across these emerging markets. As part of increasing its global footprint, the company has also acquired Megasari Group, a leading household care company in Indonesia.

Key Investment Highlights
Segment leadership and strong growth prospects across geographies to boost revenues and profitability
Barring for soaps, in the product categories of Hair Colors, Hair Extensions and Household Insecticides, GCPL enjoys leadership status. The reformulated 3x3 growth strategy has enabled the company to consolidate its product portfolio and market dominance and more than double its revenues from `1,396.6 crore in FY09 to `3,646.1 crore in FY11.We expect the company to
continue to maintain this pace of growth over FY14. Accordingly, revenues are expected to reach `7,711 crore (CAGR of 28.4%) by FY14on the back of organic growth and acquisitions.
Focused geographies to experience higher growth going forward Increasing affluence and demographic trends of the markets in which GCPL operates are experiencing significantly higher growth than global markets and GCPL with its market dominance in these geographies is best placed to benefit from this.

India Business – to be the mainstay of operations Post merger of the household insecticide (HI) business with GCPL, the domestic revenues of GCPL have led to a significant transformation towards a stronger market position in the domestic market. During FY09-11, GCPL has doubled its domestic revenue from `1,088.2 crore in FY09
to `2,395.16 crore. We believe that GCPL has depicted a strong fundamental shift in domestic mix as well as expansion in its scale and expect domestic business revenues to grow at 17.6% CAGR to `3,820.9 crore by FY14.
Household insecticides business acquisition provides a shot in the arm besides helping diversify revenue mix
Acquisition of the high growth household insecticide (HI) business from Godrej - Sara Lee, has not only significantly enhanced revenues but also helped diversify the revenue mix. Currently, GCPL has a market share of ~39.2% and we expect GCPL to further boost its market share through disruptive innovations (Magic paper to be introduced in India in the medium term), new product offerings and leverage of its distribution network.

Revenues from this segment are expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.2% to `1,352 crore in FY14 from `688.2 crore in FY11. Household Insecticides (HI) Market to experience steady growth The `2,500 crore HI market is characterized by low penetration, stiff entry barriers and highly
fragmented nature of competition. Also, not much competition from foreign majors is expected as global majors SC Johnson and Reckitt Benckiser have their presence in this market since decades. The HI market (20%+ CAGR) is characterized by high growth of the aerosols whereas the traditional coils category has the highest market share.

Soap business witnessing growth on the back of increased focus and synergistic benefits arising from the merger GCPL’s soap business over the period FY07-11 have grown at CAGR of 12% to `796 crore in
FY11 despite a slack trend prevalent in the industry on the back of strong brand creations and healthy mix of re-launches and marketing initiatives. The soap business of GCPL is expected to maintain its growth rate aided by successful efforts of the management at introducing new high value products through segmentation, leveraging benefits of the established distribution network of HI business, growing market, prudent RM sourcing and price hikes. Going forward, we expect the revenues to grow from `796 crore in FY11 to `1,306 crore in FY14 i.e. growth of ~18%
CAGR aided heavily by volume growth.

Hair Colors Business – Growth on the back of re-launches and innovation GCPL is a dominant player in the hair colour segment with ~29% market share. Over the past 3 years, this business has grown at a CAGR of ~14% to `388 crore led by new product launches and successful marketing initiative. Strong growth was led by several product re-launches under the Expert brand. Nupur mehendi continues to gain strong market share and now appears along with Godrej Expert in the Hair color category. Going forward, we believe that GCPL will continue to maintain leadership position and we expect this business to grow at a CAGR of ~16.2% to `608.3 crore by FY14 led by innovations, new product introductions and re-launches of existing products.

International Business – Skewed towards Emerging Market
To fast track its global ambitions, GCPL has undertaken a series of judicious acquisitions overseas in its existing lines of business which have not only provided it with market dominance in the geographies of LatAm, Africa and Indonesia but has also inherited an impressive portfolio which can be leveraged across these markets. Moreover, GCPL’s acquisitions in the overseas markets have been funded by low cost overseas debt costing sub 4%, making these acquisitions EPS accretive. Over the medium term we expect the international business to be the growth driver and we expect revenues to grow at ~43.6% CAGR to `3,890 crore by FY14.

Series of foreign acquisitions by GCPL in past 2 years
Indonesia business – growth momentum to continue on the back of strong market growth and new product launches
Megasari with a 25% market share continues to dominate the HI segment which has been growing at20%+ over CY07-10. The successful launch of 'Hit magic paper' (an innovative paper format repellent) coupled with the launch of HIT extra power electric mosquito repellant have further boosted revenues. Penetration of the non-coil insecticides is below 30% in Indonesia, which presents a large growth potential. Apart from HI, Megasari is also the market leader in air-care and wipes business. We expect Megasari’s revenues to grow at 22% CAGR to `1,215
crore by FY14 driven by innovations and distribution network leverage.

Darling Group acquisition game changer for GCPL’s African presence Acquisition of the Darling group’s business has changed the landscape of operation in Africa for GCPL. Not only will GCPL have access to a range of products in the hair care space besides a pan African presence, but would be complementary to its existing Kinky range of products and would further help lower costs significantly through benefits of backward integration. GCPL’s Africa business is all set to witness the next level of synergies through expanding distribution and introducing new categories in these markets. We expect revenues from the African business to grow at ~20%+ over the forecasted period to `1,794 crore in FY14 on the back of strong distribution network and cross selling products between African operations.

Darling group acquisition – a game changer for GCPLs African ambitions
We believe the strong share positions that the group brands enjoy will further accelerate GCPL’s trajectory of sustainable profitable growth in the region. The acquisition is attractive given the group’s strong distribution network and presence in an estimated market size of US$1 bn +. The lack of MNC presence and large organized players makes for a relatively benign competitive environment. The group has seen 15% revenue CAGR over the past five years. The company has posted revenue of ~ `1,000 crore in CY10 with no debt on books and is highly profitable having an
EBITDA margin of over 20%.

II 12

We believe that recently acquired stake of 51% in Darling group is an important linchpin and GCPL will look to build Darling brand into one of the largest personal care brands across Africa. In addition, significant value add is expected on account of integration of the Kinky brands and Darling group pan African reach.

This acquisition will help not only to provide backward integration benefits for its Kinky product portfolio (leading to expansion in margins from Q4FY12 onwards) but also provide a ready market to its earlier acquisitions of Rapidol and Tura. We expect African business revenues to grow by ~20%+ over the forecasted period to `1,794 crore in FY14 on the back of strong
distribution network and cross selling of products across the African operations.
Latin America Business – to grow on the back of new launches and leveraged distribution network
Having entered the Latin American market in FY11, GCPL holds ~17% market share on the back of the acquisition of two businesses: Issue and Argencos. The hair colorant market in Argentina is estimated to be around USD 200 million growing at CAGR of 22% over the last two-three years. Thus, the merger is expected to realize significant purchase and distribution synergies. Besides this, acquisition of Cosmetica Nacional (a Chilean company) in January 2012 will facilitate GCPL to exploit synergies of scale between its Argentina business and Cosmetica (Chilean market).
We expect LatAm business to grow by ~22%+ over the forecasted period to `621 crore by FY14
primarily driven by exploring wide distribution synergies and cross selling of products. Moreover, we expect the margins to improve on account of favorable revenue mix (acquisition of Cosmetica Nacional having ~20% EBITDA margins).

LatAm business - acquisition of 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional Founded in 1979 by Fernando Garcia, Cosmetica Nacional is a Chilean hair color and cosmetics company, enjoying market leadership positions in Chile and Panama in the hair colourant category with strong heritage brand such as Ilicit and U2 (volume share ~33% and value share ~28%). The company also has a strong presence in the color cosmetics segment - Pamela Grant (second largest brand in the colour cosmetics market with value and volume share of ~16%). Key Transaction Highlights
The Cosmetica Nacional business had revenues of $36 mn in CY11 and an EBITDA of $7.3 mn. GCPL plans to purchase a 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional for an equity value of $38 mn with option to acquire 100% ownership through a combination of call and put options in a 3-5 year period.
Significant product / technological synergies amongst geographies backed by disruptive innovations to facilitate growth opportunities
The global brand portfolio of GCPL is a significant intangible which would help foster future growth of the company once all the operations across geographies are integrated and stream lined. Cross-pollination of its brands across markets would, in our opinion, be the future growth driver for GCPL.
Acquisition of the Darling business can be viewed as a critical building block in achieving GCPL’s Africa aspirations. This is especially true for the household insecticides segment that has similar products across markets and needs minimal change in formulation or packaging.
Probable synergies / cross country launches
Country Possible synergies that would realize if -
India
Megasari, Indonesia innovated by launching paper format repellant- 'HIT Magic Paper' in Household Insecticide category. It burns for 3 minutes and has residual efficacy upto 8 hours. The product, which is a low cost solution mass product, could be a game changer in the category.

Key Concerns
Vulnerability to price spikes in raw material costs
GCPL has witnessed a sharp increase in raw material prices in recent months which also remain a concern going ahead. However, efficient working capital management, sound sourcing policy, cost reduction measures and calibrated price hikes have helped GCPL to mitigate inflationary risks and should help GCPL sustain its operating margins over the medium term.

Name Status Outlook
Caustic Soda
Demand has been high throughout last year while supply has faced crunches on account of lower salt supply from Gujarat. Excess monsoon last year did have considerable affect on the salt production last year.
We see the prices marginally increasing this year primarily on account of increasing demand and sharp increases in the prices of industrial salt, a key input for manufacturing caustic soda.
Linear Alkyl
Benzene (LAB)
Basic LAB prices in the domestic market are ruling at around `110-115 a kg.
Raw material for LAB - kerosene and benzene prices have been rising following high crude prices. Benzene and Kerosene is expected to follow crude’s footprints which is the feedstock for benzene and kerosene.
HDPE
Indian demand of polymers touched 10-12 million tons in 2010. The industry demand was at 12.4 million tons in 2010-11, making Indiathe third largest consumer after US and China. Prices have been more or less stable despite fluctuations in crude prices.
Prices to remain stable with marginal uptrend as increasing supply/capacities in Middle East are likely to curb price increases.
Palm Oil
Poor crop leading to supply shortage for past 2 years alongwith link to crude oil movement led to substantial increase in palm oil price. However, production has rebounded this year and prices dropped.
Palm oil prices are expected to rise in international market in coming months on account of likely tightening of the demand-supply situation and domestic prices are expected to mimic this trend as almost half of the demand is met through imports.

Changing consumer preferences and intense competition can impact business growth and profitability
In addition to the constantly evolving consumer preferences and cut throat competition from global majors, GCPL has to be fleet footed to cater to the rapidly changing demands of the market besides competing with the global majors on pricing, innovation, and availability. In our view GCPL is well embedded within the consumer products space and is equal to, if not better than competition in its understanding of the changing preferences and should be able to withstand competition.
Infrastructural Bottlenecks
Power costs in India are very high and they contribute substantially to cost of goods sold and they are 3-4 times of optimal costs. To compound this problem is the poor transportation and roadways infrastructure. Many of the villages have poor infrastructural connectivity, so the amount of time it takes for the harvest to be transported to the FMCG manufacturers is unpredictable, and results in substantial spoilage of the goods. Sharp rise in the cost of development of infrastructure coupled with bureaucratic wrangles with respect to land acquisition further delay development of road and rail infrastructure, thereby increasing the associated costs.

Financial Performance(Consolidated)
Domestic sales rose 19.9% YoY driven by 31%, 9% and 30% respective sales growth for soaps, hair colors and household insecticide (HI) during Q3FY12. Volume growth stood at ~20%, ~4-5% and ~25% respectively for soaps, hair colors and HI.

posting a healthy performance with 35% sales growth (~20% adjusted for currency, +17-18% volume growth) and EBITDA margins of 20.6% (+190 bps YoY, +120bp QoQ) led by favorable product mix and good performance of new launches. Latin American operations posted 29% sales growth (~20% adjusted for currency) and EBITDA margins of 9%. Africa region posted revenues of `186 crore with inclusion of Darling. EBITDA margins came in quite strong at 31%
driven by good festive season sales, favorable mix on hair extensions, and low ad expenses. Europe (Keyline) registered 43% YoY sales growth (~25% adjusted for currency) and 6% EBITDA margin.

Recent Developments
GCPL acquired 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional (Chilean company) for $38 mn. With sales of $36mn and EBITDA margin of ~20%, Cosmetica Nacional has grown over ~15% in recent past. Acquisition is to be funded by low cost overseas debt.
GCPL shall raise `685 crore from Temasek at `410 per share diluting 5.2% of equity. The
management attributes an equity raise to tone down leverage as it looks at a maximum debt equity mix of 1:1.

Financial Outlook
On the back of recent acquisitions, successful innovations & product launches and geographical diversification, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 28.4% to `7,711.4 crore over the forecast period of FY12-14. Moreover, we expect significant cost and revenue synergies in the domestic and international business over the next 2 to 4 years. Consequently, we expect EBITDA margin (excl OI) to be maintained ~19% over the forecasted period amidst volatile raw material prices.
Valuation
We initiate coverage on Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) as a BUY with a Price Objective of `588.7 (target 20x FY14 EPS) over a period of 21-24 months representing a potential upside
of ~32.9%. At CMP of`443, the stock is trading at 18.1x and 15.1x its estimated earnings for
FY13and FY14, respectively. We have valued the stock at ~31.5% discount to Hindustan Unilever Ltd’s valuation of 29.2x FY13 EPS (as per Ventura estimates). Driven by global acquisitions of Darling Group in Africa and Cosmetica Nacional in Latin America and strong growth of the Indian household insecticides business, we expect GCPL’s consolidated revenues to grow at ~28.4% CAGR over the forecasted period FY12-FY14. In our opinion, our estimates are conservative and we expect a substantial re-rating of the price earnings (PE) multiple. Currently, the discount to peers is a mispricing which should narrow as the acquisitions start delivering.
