Company Background
Tejas Networks is an India-based optical & data networking products
company with customers in over 60 countries. The company designs,
develops & sells high-performance and cost-competitive products to
telecommunications service providers, internet service providers, utility
companies, defence companies and government entities (collectively,
communication service providers). Products are used to build high-speed
communication networks that carry voice, data & video traffic from fixed
line, mobile & broadband networks over optical fibre. The products utilise
programmable software-defined hardware architecture with a common
software code-base that delivers an app-like ease of development and
upgrades of new features and technology standards. Currently, India is
the largest geographic segment (in terms of revenue - ~65% of the
revenues in FY17) and the company is banking on growth opportunities
arising out of the Digital India and the Make-in-India programmes of the
Government of India. The company has also entered into OEM
agreements with Ciena, NEC and RAD, pursuant to which they can sell
their products under their respective brand names to their customers.
The current product portfolio targets access (i.e., the outer perimeter of a
telecommunications network that connects to end consumers), metro (i.e.
networks that aggregate and distribute traffic collected from access
networks within a large city or region) and long-haul (i.e. networks that
interconnect metro networks using high bandwidth transmission)
networks. The hardware is modular and the software-defined architecture
allows the company to remotely upgrade its hardware with new
capabilities and features. This enables the customers to adopt a “pay as-
you-grow” approach (i.e., purchase the products/services incrementally
as needed) while adopting new services, and also enables them to extend
the life of installed systems through regular feature upgrades without
having to invest in new hardware purchases. The software-defined
hardware architecture also enables the company to deploy the same
products across multiple hardware platforms in multiple geographies by
making country specific adaptations, thus allowing it to save costs and
realise economies of scale.

The company, however, has an elongated working capital cycle given the
nature of the industry as well as the clientele that it serves. The company’
net working capital ex cash at ~235 days (debtor days of ~149 days and
inventory of ~76 days) indicates that cash generation despite higher
profitability in the business would be under stress.

Growth drivers in optical networking segment globally
The optical networking market has grown in three fundamental ways:
geographic extension, capacity expansion and interconnection among
communication service providers (CSPs) & others. Network investment
has continued despite uneven macroeconomic and geopolitical
conditions. The global optical network market is projected to grow at a
4.1% CAGR, in 2014-20. India has exhibited strong growth prospects due
Page 6 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research
to renewed mobile network growth and data centre construction. India's
optical networking market is expected to grow at a 14.2% CAGR, from
2014 to 2020. China, with growth been driven by Smart Cities, FTTx,
mobile and long-haul DCI, is projected to grow at 5.7% CAGR, from 2014
to 2020. The Asia and Oceania region, driven by growth in India and
China, is projected to grow at 5.2% CAGR, in 2014-20. North America's
optical networking market is projected to grow at 3.0% CAGR, from 2014
to 2020 based on a renewed focus on high-performance business
services, cloud adoption and DCI.
Growth drivers in Indian telecommunications equipment market
Increased use of smart phones and mobile data usage
Ovum expects total mobile broadband subscriptions in India to
cross one billion by 2021 and the total mobile broadband
penetration to reach 75.47% of the country’s population by 2021.
Fiberisation of backhaul network
According to Deloitte, in India, less than 20% sites are fiberised
compared to 70-80% sites in a developed country. The
Department of Telecommunications (DoT), Government of India,
has introduced Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules, 2016 (the
RoW Rules) to speed up the approval process for over ground
(mobile towers) and underground optical fibre infrastructure.
Government Initiatives
Some of the key government initiatives generally affecting the
Indian telecommunications industry are Digital India, National
Optical Fibre Network (Bharatnet), Make in India, National
Knowledge Network and Smart Cities. The key government
initiatives promoting domestic manufacturing in the
telecommunications industry in India are the Preferential Market
Access Policy, Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme,
Merchandise Exports from India Scheme, Defence Procurement
Policy, Support for International Patent Protection in Electronics
and Information Technology, Electronic System Design and
Manufacturing (ESDM) promotion policies of various Indian states
such as the Karnataka ESDM Policy 2013, anti-dumping duties on
synchronous digital hierarchy transmission equipment, customs
duty on products not covered by the Information Technology
Agreement enforced by the World Trade Organisation and the
Indian Telegraph Right of Way Rules, 2016.
CPO, 100G, greater-than 100G, OTN and ROADM technologies driving
product segment growth
From a product perspective, CPO, 100G, greater-than 100G, OTN and
ROADM technologies are key growth drivers for optical networking
products. According to Ovum, each of CPO, 100G, OTN and ROADM
product segments have are growing at a CAGR 7.8%, 9.2%, 14.6% and
11.1%, respectively, from 2014 to 2020.

Key risks and concerns
Client concentration
A significant portion of its revenue is generated from limited number of
large customers. If the company is unable to maintain relationship with
such customers, business, results of operations and financial condition
will be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, these large
customers exercise substantial negotiating leverage with the company,
which could adversely impact its results of operations. For FY15, FY16
and FY17, gross revenue from the sale of products and services
(excluding sales to EMS vendors on a pass-through basis) to its top five
customers amounted to 56.6%, 67.8% and 58.8%, respectively of the
consolidated revenue from operations (gross).
Technology risk
The networking equipment market is characterised by rapid technological
changes, with new product introductions, technology enhancements and
evolving industry standards with respect to the protocols used in data
communication and telecommunication networks. The company’s future
performance will depend on the successful development, introduction
and market acceptance of new and enhanced products that address these
changes as well as current and potential customer requirements. New
products based on new or improved technologies may render existing
products obsolete. The introduction of new and enhanced products may
also cause the existing customers to defer or cancel orders for existing
products. In addition, a slowdown in demand for existing products ahead
of a new product introduction could result in a write-down in the value of
inventory on hand related to existing products and/or a charge for the
impairment of long-lived assets related to such products.
The company in the past has experienced a slowdown in demand for
existing products and delays in new product development
Highly competitive market
The networking equipment market is highly competitive, rapidly evolving
and is characterised by frequent introductions of new and improved
solutions, applications and technologies. Furthermore, competitors
include large global companies such as Huawei Technologies Company, ,
Nokia Corporation, ZTE Corporation, and Ericsson, specialised optical
network equipment providers such as Ciena, Coriant, Fiberhome, Adtran,
Adva, ECI and Infinera and Ethernet switches and IP router providers such
as Cisco, Juniper, Huawei and HP. Thus, there would also be risk of
competitive pricing as well as higher bargaining power of its clientele.
Legal Proceedings
There are outstanding legal proceedings against the company that are
incidental to its business and operations, including tax proceedings.
These proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before
various courts, tribunals and appellate tribunals. The company has 40 tax
litigations against it wherein total amount involved is | 158.2 crore. An
adverse judgment in any of these proceedings, individually or in the
aggregate could adversely affect the business
