chairs and garden and office furniture. With a processing capacity of 30000 mt, the division has claimed executing the rare

feat of pioneering lacquered and upholstered moulded plastic furniture in India.

Packaging products

This division could be sub-classified in to three broad categories - specialty films, protective packaging products and cross

laminated film products.

Protective packaging

Its product range - designed to prevent wares from transit damages like breakages, dents, abrasions, scratches and corrosion-

includes thermoplastic PE foam sheets and profiles, cross-linked and blended PE foams (block & extruded) and air bubble

films and composites thereof. It also offers customized products like corrosion resistant, anti-static, UV resistant and metal

laminated foam & bubble films. This division can be further sub-classified as below:

a) protective packaging and cushioning division

adhesive backed tapes for roofing, floor/tile protection etc

c) construction accessories division

Cross laminated films

It supplies cross laminated film products under brand name 'Silpaulin' for use in agriculture and industry. Technical

collaboration with Rasmussen Polymer Development AG, Switzerland has helped Supreme find ready market for its

products in Europe, Pacific Islands, Africa, America and Middle East. In the agriculture sector, cross laminated films are used

for covering the agricultural produce, erecting plant nutrition beds, and green house sheds and fumigation of tobacco leaves,

food grains and other agriculture produce.

Performance films

Hailed as one of India's largest manufacturers of co-extruded multi-layer barrier films, Supreme churns various kinds of

performance films such as thermoforming film, lamination grade film (beverages; lamitubes; medical devices; gels &

cosmetics), UHT milk film, lidding film (dairy products; meat and sea foods; bakery products; fresh vegetables) and

industrial applications (liner for windmill blades).

Investment Thesis

New frontiers

Housing for All

The piping industry would also benefit from the launch of India's "Housing for All by 2022", which targets construction of

20m houses for the poor in urban areas by 2022. Under this urban housing mission, the Indian government would provide

assistance ranging Rs 1-2.30lakh per house under different components of the scheme including in-situ redevelopment of

slums using land as resource, affordable housing in public-private partnership, credit linked subsidy scheme and beneficiary

led individual construction/improvement. With details of Smart City Mission, AMRUT and Housing for All now unveiled,

there is now clear convergence on implementation. The nine states that have identified 305 cities for housing for urban poor,

also account for 26 smart cities and 136 AMRUT cities.

According to KPMG's Vision 2022 report, India needs to develop 110m houses - involving investments of $2 trillion by 2022.

It reckons that most of the new construction of houses must cater to economically weaker section (EWS) / low income group

(LIG) households. Among other initiatives, the report suggests that the Indian government needs to delegate more power to

urban local bodies, reduce project gestation period, rationalize fees and taxes and empower EWS/LIG households. As per the

report, long gestation period of 6-8 years of housing projects - aggravated by multiple approvals from different authorities -

have stifled Indian housing sector growth in the past. In addition, there is a dire need to cut down fees and taxes which

gobble 30-35% of total construction cost. KPMG also believes that urban housing needs top priority for it would constitute

70% of projected urban housing need.

Smart Cities Mission

To pep up the infrastructural appetite of the country, the GOI has set out an ambitious program of setting up 100 smart

cities in next five years. To give credibility to its plans, it has allocated Rs 98000 crs ($15330m) to build smart cities and

rejuvenate 500 towns and cities. Under the Smart City Mission, the Central Government proposes to spend Rs 48000 crs

over the next five years with matching contribution from the States.

Besides focusing on core infrastructure needs of adequate water and electricity supply, robust IT connectivity and

digitalization and efficient urban mobility and public transport, the Smart Cities Mission (SCM) emphasizes on proper

sanitation. The Central government also seeks to maximize gains by converging other State and Central Govt schemes with

the SCM. Cities must therefore seek convergence in the Smart City Proposal (SCP) with AMRUT, Swachh Bharat Mission

(SBM), National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), Digital India, Skill development,

Housing for All etc

Swawch Bharat Mission

The Indian government has also laid greater emphasis on cleanliness and sanitation. Swachh Bharat Mission envisages a

total investment of Rs 62009 crore of which Rs 14623 crore will be provided by the Centre. For the current fiscal, the GOI has

allocated Rs 3625 crs for this mission, an increase of 27% over the previous year. Apart from funding support from Indian

corporates - as part of their CSR initiatives, World Bank has also provided financial and technical assistance for the

program, which would propel demand for pipes & fittings beside other things. Under the Swachh Bharat Mission, the GOI

has built 8.9m toilets, increasing toilet access to 46.9% from 32.6% in 2011. In urban areas, it will build nearly two-thirds of

its total target of 2.5m household toilets by March 2016.

Technical collaborations

To widen its range of value added products (defined as products with operating margins in excess of 17%), Supreme has

relentlessly tied up with global firms for technology transfers. Currently, over a third of its total turnover comes from the

basket of value added products and it is estimated to surpass 35% by 2019-20. Extension of the scope of existing contracts

would also help. Rasmussen Polymer Development , Switzerland, Supreme's collaborator for cross laminated films, has now

extended the company's manufacturing and distribution rights of XF products to the entire world (earlier it covered only

South Asia). Similarly, global manufacturing and distribution rights have also been extended to cross line bonded film and

cross plastics film. Other envy-provoking collaborations include technical license agreement with Lomold of South Africa

for glass fiber composite products, Wavin Overseas B.V., Netherlands for plastics piping, Kumi Kasai Co of Japan for auto

components and Kautex GMBH, Germany for composite LPG cylinders.

Product launches

To rev up its product range, Supreme endeveaours to roll out new value added products. After having successfully launched

overhead water tanks, it aims to unveil other kinds of underground water storage tanks and septic tanks (in collaboration

with South Africa's Calcamite Sanitary Services). For the first time in India PVC based silent pipe system - used often in up

market hotels, high rise buildings and hospitals - was introduced last fiscal. PVC plumbing system was overhauled to

optimize costs.

Other introductions include multilayer foam pipe and several dozen injection moulded pipe fittings. Identifying

unprecedented growth in housing market, it has now sharpened its focus on sewerage and drainage segment. It would also

showcase new varieties of both plastic and chrome plated bath fittings in the current fiscal. To beat entrenched sluggishness

in consumer products segment (read: furniture business) - last fiscal 's volumes were one-quarter smaller than that four years

back - Supreme will launch a dozen new furniture models in current fiscal. A slew of other growth buttressing initiatives

include launch of various home appliance products, ramp up in auto component supplies to Honda Motors and engineering

a range of high margin accoustic insulation products.

Capex

After having invested nearly Rs 200 crs last fiscal, Supreme plans to splurge alike across businesses in just nine months (July-

Mar16) - to be funded through a mix of internal accruals and suppliers credit. Khargapur in West Bengal would house its

plastics product complex - for churning out PVC pipes, PE pipes, protective packaging products and plastic furniture - and a

roto moulding facility. Besides the Kharagpur plant, commercial production has recently started at a roto products and cPVC

facility in Malanpur (M.P.) Plans are afoot to boost capacities of premium furniture products in all its plants and enhance

pallet capacity at its existing facility at Gadegaon. Enhancing capacities of polyethylene & PVC pipes, bath fitting products

and protective packaging products are also in the pipeline. Production of roto moulding products (at Kanpur) and double

wall corrugated HDPE pipes would start by the first quarter of 2016. Other eye-catching measures include introduction of

several varieties of moulded fittings at Jalgaon and Malanpur and cross laminated films at its Get Muvala (Gujarat) plant.

Financials & valuation

Thanks to incessant fall in crude oil prices, Supreme’s plastic sales volumes would grow at the swiftest pace (13.6%) in five

years (see chart below). Much of the increase would be accounted by the plastics piping systems business for its current fiscal

volumes would advance by some 18% (annualized). It got off to a great start by posting 25.9% growth in volumes in the first

quarter precipitated by 32% growth in off take of high margin yielding cPVC products. Vigorous cPVC business is no

aberration for its volumes have risen by 24% on average in last three years. Yet weather related risks cannot be brushed off in

a hurry. Adverse weather conditions trampled demand for agricultural pipes in the last two years, resulting in puny volume

growth (average: 7.9%). Unusual rains in the final quarter of last fiscal hit hard the capacity utilization at all its plants,

stoking unexpected erosion in margins.

Fluctuations in Supreme's packaging products business cannot be by any means gainsaid. Despite having nearly doubled in

size over the last six years, it has had its share of setbacks. Volume growth for instance declined for three years in a row

before resurrecting last fiscal. But that is only partially reflected in value growth , presumably due to growing share of value

added products (read: cross laminated films & protective packaging). Average realization of cross laminated films has grown

by a third in last four years (Rs 2.33 lakh/mt vs Rs 1.76 lakh), triggering average revenue growth of 14.2% (12% for overall

packaging products business). With economic moat in mind, Supreme aims to increase the share of value added products in

its protective packaging business to 45% by 2019-20 from 30% now.

Supreme's consumer products and industrial products businesses have barely wax overall volumes: contributed just 0.2%

and 9.7% to total absolute additions in last six years. Yet value wise its consumer products business has grown one and half

times in the same period, signifying miraculous value addition - nearly 48% of Supreme's molded furniture yields a margin

in excess of 17% and the target is to garner 65% by 2019-20. Rolling out premium furniture holds key for staving off

competition - Supreme plans to reveal a dozen new models of such wares in this fiscal

CD Equisearch Pvt Ltd

Equities Derivatives Commodities Distribution of Mutual Funds Distribution of Life Insurance

Industrial business would more or less toe its historical trend (average volume growth of 7.2%) over the next two years.

With more commoditized offerings in its ambit, operating margins have staggered in 12-13% range. Sclerotic demand for

industrial components (read: automotive and consumer durable segments) over the last few years has frayed internal

estimates: the business grew by just 3% last fiscal compared to projected growth of 12%. Still the material handling products

business bucked the trend by posting 12% volume and 23% value growth driven by eye-popping growth in its crates and

pallets businesses.

Despite constantly changing product mix and hefty competition, overall operating margins are stabler as ever not least due

to growing portfolio of value added products and desirous technological prowess. Revenue share of value added products

in its flagship plastic piping business, for instance, has jumped to 29.8% now from just 12.8% in 2008-09 (see chart below).

Falling raw materials of key polymers and resins would show up in tepid revenue growth and lackluster asset utilization

ratios this fiscal. Yet lower working capital needs would be a saving grace: working capital turnover ratio as a result would

sizably surge.

The stock currently trades at 27.7x FY16e EPS of Rs 24.75 (annualized) and 22.5 x FY17e EPS of Rs 30.40. Pull back in

earnings growth next fiscal rests on modest recovery in crude oil markets, which increases margins. Low debt and high

return on capital ratios aptly tempt risk averse investors. And so would high interest coverage and strong operating cash

flows. Since further plunge in crude oil markets remains a low possibility, odds favor growth-oriented investors. We,

therefore, assign ‘accumulate’ rating on the stock with target of Rs 821 based on 27xFY17e earnings (last two years average

P/E on year end prices: 25.5x), over a period of 9-12 months.

Risks and Concerns

Volatility in polymer prices

Unparalleled volatility in crude oil prices seen of late has hurt realizations of finished goods. Thanks to turbulent global crude oil

markets, prices of some of the polymers like PP homopolymers, PE and PVC resins experienced gut-wrenching fluctuations (see

charts below) last fiscal (July-June). Prices of these polymers declined by 13-18% last year attended with see-saw movements. As

well as impacting the nominal growth of the plastic industry, it impacts operating profit making recovery of fixed costs a near

impossibility for small players.

Menace of counterfeit products

Supreme faces an uphill task of countering growing presence of counterfeit products, especially in XF products, pipe system and

cross laminated films. Fake/ cheap cross laminated films overwhelmed the Asian markets last year which have impacted

Supreme's overseas dispatches for last couple of years (exports fell 26% and 6% in FY15 and FY14). However, it reckons that

demand for Chinese goods would start to wane not least due to their inferior quality.

Recommendation

Unequalled opportunities await Indian piping industry thanks to GOI's ambitious plans to promote affordable urban

housing, support irrigation and foster sanitation. Implementation of GST would further galvanize the plumbing industry

for currently 65% of that market is organized. Substitution of conventional piping systems like galvanized iron and cast

iron piping systems with plastic would also do its bit to fuel demand. No less worthwhile is the demand propelling impact

of GOI's phenomenal schemes like "Housing for All by 2022", Smart Cities Mission (SCM) and Swachh Bharat Mission.

Most remarkably, it is the convergence of these schemes - SCM with AMRUT, Housing for All and others - that would

work wonders. However, KPMG reckons that the Indian urban housing market would flounder unless the government

embraces ground breaking reforms - reduce project gestation period by doing away the need for multiple approvals;

rationalize fees and taxes; delegate more power to urban local bodies; empower EWS/LIG households.

Supreme's plastic piping system business still rules the roost for it contributed 58% to the plastic business revenue growth

in last six years; as a result its revenue share climbed ten percentage points to 51%. Product introductions have helped too:

flaunted 1500 new products in last five years taking the total tally to 6500. Tellingly, revenue share of valued added

products has also conspicuously soared: 29.8% in 2014-15 from just 12.8% in 2008-09. Yet its piping business volume has

remarkably lagged Astral Poly's (a PVC and cPVC pipe manufacturer) for last two years (latter posted volume growth in

excess of 20%). Operating margins though of Supreme has been distinctly higher in last three years.

Its plastics packaging business has been most profitable, earning margins in 18-20% range. To gain a larger foothold,

Supreme would vitalize its protective packaging and cross laminated films business over the next few years. Plans are

afoot to more than double revenue of protective packaging over the next five years. Its cross laminated films - sold under

the brand 'Silpaulin' - has also registered average annual revenue growth of 14.1% in last four years, vitalized by a thriving

domestic market. Yet exports suffered not least due to overwhelming Chinese exports in prized Asian markets.

Yet risks cannot be undone. Precipitous fall in global crude oil markets would inevitably reduce product realizations.

Prices of some key polymers like PP homopolymers, PE and PVC resins have already taken a knock. Wild price

fluctuations of polymers not only affect domestic plastic consumption but also hurt operating margins. Also a worth

noting risk is inundation of cheaper Chinese products, particularly XF products, pipe system and cross laminated films.

The stock currently trades at 27.7x FY16e EPS of Rs 24.75(annualized) and 22.5x FY17e EPS of Rs 30.40. Revenue would

grow in low single digits this fiscal before resurrecting by next year. However, pull back in earnings growth next fiscal

rests on modest recovery in crude oil markets. Volumes though would remain buoyant thanks to higher dispatches of

plastic piping systems business. Low debt and high return on capital ratios remain aptly tempting. And so would high

interest coverage and strong operating cash flows. Since further plunge in crude oil markets remains a low possibility,

odds favour growth-oriented investors. We, therefore, assign ‘accumulate’ rating on the stock with target of Rs 821 based

on 27xFY17e earnings (last two years average P/E on year end prices: 25.5x; infinitesimal downside risk warrants a lower

equity risk premium), over a period of 9-12 months.
