Index Details Post acquisition, Jyothy Laboratories Ltd (JLL) has demonstrated
impeccable growth with Revenues, EBITDA & PAT witnessing 10.9%,
21.3% and 29.2% CAGR growth respectively. Along with strong
performance debt has seen substantial reduction with return ratios
climbing. The market too has re-rated the stock reflected in the
buoyant prices. While the stock is not cheap we still believe that going
forth the robust growth should continue.
We initiate coverage with a BUY for a price target of Rs 270
representing an upside of 22.7% from the CMP of Rs 220 over the next
24 months. We expect the revenues to grow by 12% CAGR to INR 2485
crores by FY2021. On the back of robust revenues, we expect the
EBITDA and PAT to grow to Rs 410 crores (18.8% CAGR) & Rs 277.3
crores (15.7% CAGR) respectively by FY21. Operating margins are
also set to improve by 120 bps to 16.5% by FY21. Return ratios ROE
& ROCE are also expected to remain elevated at 17.1% and 18.6%
respectively.
Our optimism stems from the following:-
• We expect sales to set a boost on the back of new innovate
products, T-Shine & Maxo Genius machine. JLL’s T-shine has
gained 5% market share in Kerala and is expected to double its
market share shortly. Over the next three years T-shine and
Maxo genius are expected to achieve a combined turnover of
Rs 250 crores.
• Resurgence of soap brand Margo given the new found affinity
of the market for natural products should help sustain the 23%
CAGR growth of the last six years.

• Relaunch of its product Ujala Crisp & Shine. Being a new
category in itself there is negligible competition and hence the
opportunity is there for the asking for Ujala Crisp and Shine.
Ujala Crisp & Shine has demonstrated strong growth of 19.2%
after its recent campaign of 2017.
• Growth in non-core markets of Ujala liquid is helping the
mature brand develop new levers of growth. Other brand Exo
& Pril are expected to maintain a high growth of 10.9% for the
forecast period.
• We initiate a BUY for a price target of Rs 270 representing an
upside of 22.7% from the CMP of Rs 220 over the next 24
months. Given its track record of high and sustained earnings
growth, the stock is due for a re-rating.

❖ Key Investment Highlights
❖ Acquisition of Henkel India proved to be value accretive.
Prior to Henkel acquisition JLL was a fringe player in the FMCG space.
JLL was a fledgling FMCG company with revenues skewed towards one single
product Ujala and negligible sales from its other products. Over the period FY07-
11, revenues grew at a CAGR of 13% to Rs. 644 crs. At the same time, EBITDA
and net earnings grew at a CAGR of 8.2% and 6.3% to 79.4crs and 65.7crs
respectively. EBITDA margins were more or less stagnant at 12%.
Successful performance post acquisition of Henkel
Henkel AG had decided to exit its India operations in FY2012 and sighting an
opportunity, JLL decided to purchase this business. It made sense not only from
the perspective of product expansion but also enabling it to enhance its distribution
reach geographically.
JLL acquired controlling stake in Henkel India in FY12.
• First it bought out the stake of 14.9% from Spic group company Tamil Nadu
Petroproducts Ltd. (TNPL) at Rs 35 per share.
• Later JLL acquired a 50.97% in Henkel AG stake for Rs 118.7crores at Rs 20
per share. (As part of the deal, debt of Rs 454 crores was refinanced &
preference shares worth Rs 43.9 crores were taken on the books).
In order to build on this acquisition a crack team was appointed to spearhead the
operations and also bring about synergies of the two businesses. As part of the
reorganization drive
• JLL reduced employees of the newly acquired company to 50 from 475.
• Further it consolidated manufacturing operations in a bid to improve operational
efficiencies and utilization.
• The merger helped to significantly add to the distribution strength as JLL was
predominantly rural while Henkel was more urban facing.

❖ Innovation lead growth of existing brands
Maxo insecticide brand doing well despite intense competition
Maxo a mosquito repellant was launched in 2000 in coil form. In FY 2017, the
company launched an innovative and advanced product Maxo Genius machine.
Normally, mosquito repellant machines have high liquid consumption with
vaporizer leading to a usage period lasting for 15 days only. To improve the
efficiency of liquid consumption, JLL launched Maxo Genius machine which has
a chip based technology to auto shift from high to low mode, thereby the liquid
vaporizer consumption is slowed down leading to significantly expanding the
usage period to 45 days.
This innovation is expected to lead to an increase in the market share of JLL which
stands at 20% in the mosquito repellant segment.
Further Reckitt Benckiser has announced its intentions to divest its mosquito
repellant business globally. Since then there has been a disproportionate
increase in A & P spend to boost India sales. Despite this aggressive rollout by
its competitors Maxo has been able to not only defend market share but also gain
some.

JLL Market share vis a-vis its competitors
Source: Company, Ventura Research,
Ujala Crisp and Shine
Ujala is the flagship brand of JLL which is available across diverse categories of
fabric whitener, detergent powder and fabric enhancer. Ujala brand was extended
into the fabric enhancer category under the sub-brand Crisp & Shine.
Crisp & Shine with its unique Poly Fx formula, is an innovative product which
imparts an impressive crispness, superior form, brilliant shine and pleasant
fragrance, bringing forth the perfect ‘executive look’.
JLL’s Ujala Crisp and Shine will be achieving 10% market share in Kerala shortly
and JLL’s future strategy is to launch in all remaining southern states before going
pan India. Being a new category in itself there is negligible competition and hence
the opportunity is there for asking for Ujala Crisp and Shine.
❖ New Product Development
T-shine
T-shine marks JLL’s entry into the Rs 1600 crores toilet cleaner markets. Unlike its competitors’ products Domex (HUL) and Harpic (Reckitt Benckiser), which are toxic by virtue of HCL, T-shine is an organic acid and hence leaves no stains for discoloration of the bathroom pot. It is marketed as acid free and has received good receptivity in the market having already gained 5% share in Kerala. The management is optimistic on doubling the Kerala market share over the next six months.

Once this milestone is achieved the product is expected to be rolled out in other southern states. Once the milestone of 10% is achieved in the new proposed state we expect a rapid pan India roll out. Over the next three years we expect T-shine and maxo Genius Machine to achieve a combined turnover of Rs 250 crores.
❖ Resurgence of natural products
Margo seeing a good traction
Vintage neem-based Margo (since 1920) is seeing a sudden revival given the market’s new-found love for natural products. We expect Margo which has got good bland recall to be a beneficiary. Compared to the Urban usage, rural soap consumption is languishing at 29%. This means that the opportunity is huge in the overall Rs 17000-crore market which is growing at 12% CAGR. We expect revenue from this segment to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% from Rs 166 crores to Rs 220 crores by FY21.

❖ Niche products portfolio gaining rapidly from increasing adoption
i) Fabric care
The fabric care business has experienced degrowth over the last three years.
Ujala sales which commands a 75% market share had peaked and Ujala stiff &
shine did not go down well with customers.

To overcome the stagnant sales JLL is focusing on non-core markets which have
started showing results. Also, Stiff & Shine has been replaced with Crisp & Shine
which has found acceptance by the market and experiencing good traction.
The company also has forayed into the detergent space through Ujala detergent
powder and Ujala fastwash. Ujala Supreme was woven around an unique
proposition Ujala Supreme has Ultra Radiance Molecules, that help it to dissolve
faster, penetrate deeper.
Henko Stain champion and Henko Lintelligent are also showing good traction.
We expect fabric care revenues to grow at a CAGR of 10% to Rs 780 crores by
FY21.

ii) Dishwashing
In the dishwashing segment (market size of Rs 3000 crores) which is expected to
grow at a brisk 11.7% CAGR over the next three years, JLL is present through its
brands Pril & Exo. In the dishwashing space, HUL with its product Vim is the
dominant player (55% market share), with Pril and Exo being the second largest
(17.8% market share).
Pril
Pril Liquid has an advanced German Active + Molecules formula that provides
holistic protection to the hands as well as keeps dishes clean.. It is available in 4
variants: Pril Lime, Pril Orange, Pril Lemon Fresh and Pril Anti Bacterial with
Neem.
Exo
Exo dish wash leveraged the ‘Touch & Shine’ proposition during the year,
emphasizing the power of cleaning tough greasy utensils with relative ease. Post
the campaign of Exo by JLL, Exo Dishwash Bar and Exo Bactoscrub grew by 20%
& 23% respectively.
Revenue from the dishwashing segment which has grown at 8.7%, over faster
than the market (10.2% CAGR to Rs 220 crores by FY21).

iii) Household Insecticide
Maxo is JLL’s mosquito repellant brand which was launched in 2000 in the coil
insecticides format. Since then in 2006-07 JLL further expanded to liquids &
aerosols format.
Of the total insecticides portfolio, 70% of the Rs 244crs sales (FY18) are in coil
format and the rest are in the form of Liquid & aerosols. JLL envisages expanding
its presence in the liquid segment in the next 3years. Maxo Coil has a 18.4%
market share in the coil format and Maxo LV has a 7.2% market share in LV
category.
In line with the trend towards liquids and away from coils, we also expect the same
to play out with Maxo. This leaves enough room for margin expansion. However,
we have not built this into our model and it represents an upside risk.
We expect Household Insecticide revenues to grow at a CAGR of 17.1% to Rs
391 crores by FY21.

iv) Other Products
Exo floorshine, FA deodrant, and Maya Agarbatti are some of the JLL’s other
products gaining market share in their respective segments.
JLL has an annual capex outlay of Rs 70 crores at Guwahati (which has extended
tax benefits). JLL will manufacture Maxo liquid vaporizers and Margo at this plant.
❖ Profitability to get a boost.
EBITDA AND PAT Margins
________________________________________________________________ Source: Company, Ventura Research
With all products having gained critical mass EBITDA margins have expanded
quite nicely over the period from FY12-18 (from 9% to 15%). Going ahead we
expect margins to improve further as contributions from high margin products will
increase. As the business throws up more cash and the company scales back on
dividend payout we believe that a large proportion of the cash would be used to
retire debt. Consequently, interest costs are expected to come down.
-
- 14 -Monday, 13th August, 2018
This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page.
JLL’s interest cost has reduced by 29.5% from Rs 68.2 crores to Rs 48.07 in
FY18. Interest cost as a % of sale reduced from 6.2% in FY13 to 2.7% in FY18.
JLL’s Debt-Equity ratio has also fallen from 0.93 to 0.53 FY18.
❖ Large acquisition on the cards.
Since the LBO of Henkel all milestones have been met successfully. Revenues
are up 2.8times while the EBITDA & PAT experienced faster growth of 3.4times
& 2.9times respectively. Cashflows are on an increasing trend with efficient
operations, lower interest outgo and the conscious decision to lower dividend
payout to retain cash and bolster the balance sheet.
Also the management has committed to grow inorganically by virtue of an
acquisition. The cash conservation is precisely for this purpose and the
management is building a war chest of Rs 800-1000 crores. This is to be used as
currency for the acquisition along with debt. The proposed intent is expected to
take the company to the next level of growth. However, we have not included the
same in our model being purely aspirational.
Operating cashflows are expected to grow at a CAGR of 43.4% from Rs 157 crore
in FY17 to Rs 462.4 crore in FY20. Cash flow generation outstrips the investment
needs.

❖ Financial Performance
In Q1FY19, Jyothy laboratories reported a healthy 20.6% growth in topline to Rs 405 crores from Rs 385.8 crores in the same quarter of the previous year. The EBITDA margin increased 410bps to 10.9% from 15%, mainly on account of increasing rural demand post GST. The PAT Margin increased by 160bps from 6.3% in Q1FY18 to 7.9% in Q1FY19. The strong growth is attributable to close to 30% growth in the Exo, Maxo and Margo brands during the quarter. Pril liquid grew by 23.0% during the quarter.

❖ Key risks and threats
• Prices of basic commodities like Benzene, Crude, Naptha, Palm and Palm
Karnel may have a direct impact on the products falling under detergent and dish washing category.
• Volatility in prices of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polypropylene (PP) may lead to an increase in prices of containers.
• Any rise in the price Kraft paper can impact the secondary packaging cost for the products of the company.
• An economic slowdown can affect the FMCG demand of the economy. Rupee depreciation is likely to exert cost pressures on companies People will spend less money on the discretionary items which will hit the FMCG Industry.
• Intense Competition from other FMCG players can also affect the fortunes of Jyothy Laboratories.

We initiate coverage on JLL as a BUY, with a price objective of Rs 270. (35x

At present the stock is trading at 32.4x and 28.4x its estimated P/E for FY20 and
FY21. We believe that the valuation multiple is justified due to high growth
opportunities and higher return ratios enjoyed by JLL.
