Expected Earnings for 1st and 2nd Qtr FY 2011‐12: We expect Cravatex Ltd to deliver robust earnings in coming quarters. Cravatex has shown excellent performance in FY 2010‐11 and we believe that company will deliver the similar performance in financial year 2011‐12. Recent announcement of bonus shares and promoters holding of 75% stake is another positive factor to take exposure in this stock keeping a long term view.

There is no listed player in the same segment but we can still compare based on common customer profile, revenue drivers and operating margins.
6. Key Concerns / Risks
The company faces competition in sportswear segment from older players like Adidas, Nike, and Reebok.
Company imports most of the fitness equipment; any weakness in rupee may
affect its margins.
Barclays Ventures has recently expressed interest in offloading its stake in FILA, this may affect the brand in case of any unfavourable outcome.
Slower than expected revival of global economy.

7. Industry Overview Sportswear Industry Sportswear industry, unlike the general category apparel industry, has the advantage of offering all the products (apparel, footwear, accessories) under a single brand name. This indirectly, reduces a lot of pressure on marketing, which otherwise would have to create a brand name for each of the product categories, and most Sportswear Industry importantly offers its customers the entire range thereby reducing cost of customer acquisition. With rapid economic growth, huge population base, rising income levels, changing lifestyle and consumer preferences, India has witnessed tremendous growth in its sportswear industry over the past few years. The country has been exploiting its favorable demographics, which make it one of the most attractive destinations for both domestic and international sportswear players to cash on the highly lucrative market. As a result, all the international players, including FILA, Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Reebok, are striving hard to grab a share of the money‐spinning market. The current size of the Indian sportswear industry is worth over INR 35,500 crores (comprising both organized and unorganized sector), which is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 45% between 2010 and 2012. Opportunities: The premium sportswear industry is expected to grow at high rate due to the following factors:
Increased urbanization Higher Disposable Income Change in Consumer behavior particularly in our target 20‐44 age group Larger marketing spend by Companies creating general awareness for the
category Increased brand awareness by consumers Shift from unorganized to organized sector Rapid expansion of modern retail format
Fitness Equipment & Services Industry Presently, the fitness industry is in its nascent stages. There is complete lack of product differentiation. The market also appears to have a shortage of talent, since qualified personal trainers, and consultants are scarce, which also contributes to the lack of differentiation. This high degree of fragmentation, lack of product differentiation, and
- 13 - SARAL GYAN CAPITAL SERVICES
HIDDEN GEMS – MAY 2011
customer price sensitivity result in prevalent price competition and low margins. Yet, on the other hand, awareness about fitness and a healthy lifestyle is growing; along with higher disposable incomes and a growing young population. India presents a huge opportunity for the health and fitness industry with over 65 towns having a population greater than 500,000 as per Census 2001 statistics. Significant changes in lifestyle related to lack of physical activity and increased consumption of fast foods among both affluent and working class population has led to the greater need for healthy lifestyles through sports, fitness centers and counseling on dietary habits. The Indian sports equipment market has experienced strong growth in recent years. The Indian sports equipment market had total revenue of INR 9311cr in 2009, and it is expected to reach a value of INR 12,172cr by the end of 2014. The wellness services industry is a fast growing sector in India today. It encompasses a large number of service segments including beauty services (salon, treatment based beauty products), personal health counseling, rejuvenation (Yoga, Spas) and fitness segments. Within this, the Fitness segment, viz. Gyms, is experiencing healthy growth rates and currently has an estimated market size of USD 113mn. As of 2008, there were 765 fitness clubs in India with total membership of 0.23 million members. (Source: as per the statistics of The IHRSA Asia Pacific Market Report, 2008) This rapid increase in wealth can also be visibly seen in the several posh residential complexes that have emerged in the top few Indian cities like Mumbai, NCR, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Pune. This segment of population provides an upscale market for fitness centers to offer not just the basic gym facility but also advanced value added activities like spas, steam/sauna bath, nutrition centers, aerobics, spinning studios and personal training program. Key Drivers for growth of Retail & Branded Merchandize
Indians per capita income has more than doubled in last 10 years. And as income levels increase every year there are more and more new customers entering consumption, resulting in significant market expansion.
Estimated population of 1.1 billion growing at 1.7% p.a., and adding population equivalent of Australia every year.
In India age group of 20‐44 can be identified as prime market for fitness merchandize, equipment, and services.
- 14 - SARAL GYAN CAPITAL SERVICES
HIDDEN GEMS – MAY 2011
Changing shape of income distribution, resulting in demand increase for high performance items, even at higher values.
Increasing use of branded, high value products to signal success. Affordability growth > Income growth.
Demographic Mix favoring higher demand
The demographic mix of India's population points to the high potential for growth of the branded merchandize. More than 60% of India's population is in the age group of 15‐45years.
Rising demand for branded merchandize comes primarily from nearly 850 million in 18‐25 age group, another 100million are likely to be added to this target population in the next five years.
Also as urban consumers become more exposed to western lifestyles, through overseas travel and the media, their attitude towards expensive merchandize is relaxing.
They have started finding social value associated with brands.

7. Saral Gyan Recommendation i) The management is well known to investors for creating brands since 1951. They have successfully passed on this expertise to present generation. The management with help of Barclays, made a leveraged buyout of FILA brand in 2008. The brand license will remain with the company for foreseeable future. ii) The Management holds 75% equity in the company and recently declared bonus share which is good for a company with such a low market capital by any standards. iii) The EBITDA margins have shown an improvement from 9.52% last fiscal to 12.2% this fiscal. EPS has grown by impressive 50% with robust top line and bottom line growth. During last fiscal, company increased its working capital on account of new stores, SPA equipment and inventory in trade. iv) The company is in non‐cyclical industry and business is scalable. Company can grow its revenues multi fold by expanding customer reach using franchise model for strong brands like Proline and FILA. v) At current market price of Rs 778.10, dividend yield works out to be 0.58%. On equity of Rs. 1.29 crore the estimated annualized EPS works out to Rs. 50 and the Book value per share is Rs. 188.86. At a CMP of Rs. 778.10, stock price to book value is 4.12. Currently, the scrip is trading at 11 X FY 2011‐12 estimated earnings which make it an attractive buy at current market price. Saral Gyan Team recommends “BUY” for Cravatex Ltd. for a target price of Rs. 1600 over a period of 18‐24 months. Note: Stock has appreciated almost 20% on news of bonus share issue, we suggest taking exposure in stock at a lower price range of Rs. 650 to 725. As stock liquidity is
all quantities. less because of low equity base, we suggest buying this stock in sm
