Result Update

Sustained profitability in B&R segment…

Revenues for the quarter grew 16% YoY to | 2705.8 crore (I-direct

estimate: | 2584.1 crore). Growth was accelerated by higher growth in

the brand & retail segment, which grew 24% YoY (mainly due to

inclusion of Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klein in the consolidated

numbers due to Ind-As)

Increase in raw material expense negatively impacted gross margins

to the extent of 444 bps YoY to 51.3%. Positive operating leverage

(employee & other expenses as a percentage of sales down 49 bps,

300 bps YoY, respectively), curtailed the operating margin contraction,

to a certain extent. The resultant EBITDA margins declined 90 bps YoY

to 9.2% (I-direct estimate: 9.7%). Subsequently, absolute EBITDA

grew 5.3% YoY to | 248.4 crore (I-direct estimate: | 250.3 crore)

Negative impact of higher depreciation (up 27% YoY) was completely

negated by lower tax rate (12.5% in Q3FY18 vs. 27.1% in Q3FY17).

Reported PAT was impacted by exceptional expense of | 10.6 crore

pertaining to retrenchment, post which PAT was at | 79.1 crore. Still,

adjusted PAT was at | 89.6 crore (I-direct estimate: | 89.5 crore)

Momentum for B&R segment slows down but profitability improves

Revenues from the brand & retail (B&R) segment grew 24% YoY to | 957.6

crore mainly due to inclusion of Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klein in the

consolidated numbers due to Ind-As. Excluding the same, the revenue

growth for the base portfolio was at 9.5% YoY (GST adjusted growth

15%) to | 837 crore. ‘Power brands’ continued to report decent like-to-like

sales (LTL) sales growth of 7.9%, ‘Unlimited’ registered negative LTL sales

growth of 27% mainly on account of a very high base effect of last year.

Profitability for the B&R segment improved significantly with EBITDA

more than doubling from | 30 crore in Q3FY17 to | 67 crore in Q3FY18.

EBITDA margins for the quarter improved 350 bps YoY to 7% while

excluding (TH & CK) margins came in at 8.2% vs. 4.4% in Q3FY17. The

management highlighted that most emerging brands are expected to

breakeven by Q4FY18 and turn positive by FY19.

Macroeconomic challenges impact textiles performance

Constant rupee appreciation and a reduction in duty drawbacks continued

to hamper the performance of the textile division. Revenues for the textile

division grew 9% YoY to | 1540 crore. Growth was mainly accelerated by

16% growth in the garmenting segment to | 319 crore. Arvind has

commenced its operations for the Phase II garmenting expansion in

Ethiopia and expects to reach high single digit margin in FY19. Volume

for denims came in at 25 million pieces (up 14%) while realisations

declined sharply by 7% YoY to | 181/piece. EBITDA margins for the

textile division declined significantly by 330 bps YoY to 14%. Arvind has

charted out a | 1500 capex outlay mainly towards garmenting and

technical textile division that will drive the next leg of growth, going

forward.

Fundamentals remain intact; maintain BUY!

With de-merger on the cards, we believe Arvind would be able to

efficiently channelise its resources to full potential leading optimised

results in the long term. Going forward, we expect Arvind to clock sales,

PAT CAGR of 13.2%, 24.2%, respectively, in FY17-19E. We value textiles

at 6.5x EV/EBITDA and B&R at 2.0x MCap/sales. We maintain BUY rating

on the stock with a target price of | 480.

The de-merger would result in three independent listed entities. The

textile business, which includes denim, wovens, garments, technical

textiles, etc, would continue to be a part of Arvind Ltd. The branded

apparel business, which includes 15 brands (Tommy Hilfiger, USPolo,

Arrow, Flying Machine, Gap, Aeropostale, The Children Place (TCP),

Sephora, etc.) will be de-merged into Arvind Fashion (AFL). The

consideration would be one share of AFL for every five existing Arvind

shares. In addition to AFL shares, the engineering division (including

Anup and recently formed Anveshan) would also be de-merged. Anup

would be merged with Anveshan while the renamed listed entity would

be Anup Engineering. The consideration would be one share of Anup for

Key conference call takeaways…

A reduction in duty drawback rates and rupee appreciation negatively

impacted the margins of the textiles division this quarter

For the brands & retail division, revenues from the wholesale division

continued to remain under pressure (post GST implementation), while

retail channel sales performed reasonably well

Unlimited registered negative LTL growth albeit on a high base of

demonetisation (27% LTL growth in Q3FY17). However, margins

improved significantly for the quarter

Emerging brands are expected to breakeven by Q4FY18 while it is

expected to turn positive in the next financial year

Increase in debt can be mainly attributed to stretched working capital

requirements on account of delay in getting input credit refunds and

15-20 days delay in receivables owing to weak sentiments in the

wholesale channel

The management has guided for consolidated revenue growth of 11-

12% (including TH & CK: 15-16%). Revenue growth for the textile

division is expected to be 6-7% with B&R growing 15-17% (excluding

TH & CK)

Gross debt as on December 31, 2017 was at | 3500 crore while the

company intends to reduce it by | 100 crore by Q4FY18

standalone revenue, which includes textiles and garments, grew at a

CAGR of 17% in FY11-17. Majority of this growth was driven by growth in

its fabric division, which grew at 16% CAGR in FY11-17. The increase in

fabrics revenues was mainly supported by 16% CAGR in woven, followed

by denim revenues, which grew at a modest CAGR of 4%. Apart from

fabrics, the company manufactures garments for brands like Tommy

Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, H&M, M&S, FCUK and Jack & Jones. Revenues from

the same grew at a CAGR of 17% in 2012-17.

Over the past few years, the company’s investments in augmenting its

garmenting capacities and textile capabilities were insignificant. With the

recent demerger, the investments in expansion of its intention to double

its garmenting capacity to a targeted 40 million pieces by 2020. Further,

currently only 7% of fabrics produced are used for production of

garments that the company intends to increase to 25% by 2020 and 50%

by 2022. With the enhancement of capacity, standalone revenues would

be mainly driven by garments. Garment revenues have increased at a

CAGR of 17% in 2012-17, which is further expected to grow at a CAGR of

~20% in FY17-19E. Furthermore, additional investments in new segments

like technical textiles will drive standalone revenues. We believe the

standalone business has different dynamics and has very different

working capital cycle.

The renewed focus on the cash gusher segment commands a re-rating on

the textile business. We value the standalone business on the basis of

EV/EBITDA and assign an industry average EV/EBITDA multiple of 6.5x

FY19E arriving at a targeted market capitalisation of | 3100 crore and

SOTP value of | 120/share.

Brands & retail business – stability to remain crucial…

The theme around brands and positioning apparel as a ‘bridge to luxury’

segment has seen only a handful of players like Madura and Page getting

it right and being successful. The growth from branded apparel has been

lumpy with close to 200 international brands currently present in the India

fashion segment. Currently, Arvind has four power brands with each

having a turnover of ~| 2700 crore. The company estimates that each of

these brands would be scaled up to | 5000 crore. Over a decade, the

company believes it has added sufficient number of brands and now

wants to focus on its monetisation. The recent restructuring of Megamart

and closure of unsuccessful ventures like Debenhams and Next affirm the

management efforts to focus on profitable growth.

Majority of brands in India, though not profitable, are targeting revenue

growth. However, profitability will creep in once significant scale is

achieved. To quote the management, “When a brand attains a turnover of

| 100-150 crore it gets out of negative EBITDA. By the time it touches

| 250 crore, RoCE becomes attractive. By the time it gets to | 350 crore, a

brand makes tonnes of money”. With the currently successful launch of

GAP store and target audience for Aeropostale, it is well poised to create

a number of powerbrands by 2020. We believe that one of the brands

would be converted into a powerbrands in 2018. On account of this,

powerbrand revenues are expected to grow at 33% CAGR while due to

the shift, growth of other brands would be lower at 11% CAGR in 2017-

19. We believe this business would be valued on the basis of sales the

company is able to achieve and following this, the estimated market

capitalisation it would demand. We value its brands & retail business

using the market capitalisation to sales method. Thus, we value the

company at an average multiple of 2x and arrive at a value of | 350 per

share with a target market capitalisation of | 9025 crore.
