‘Maxo’ in a new avatar: both for consumers and for the trade

We find renewed heightened activity by Jyothy Laboratories (JYL, rated ADD) in its ‘Maxo’ brand to (1) regain the 2% market share, it lost, in coils and (2) to gain a foothold in the liquids segment (relatively premium compared with coils). We recall that JYL’s mosquito repellant, ‘Maxo’, historically had a strong presence in coils (with ~24% market share), but due to higher trade discounts, profitability was elusive. The company’s roll back of promotions (over the past 18 months) to improve profitability met with limited success and it lost ~2% market share in the process: the management intends to regain market share even at a ‘cost’. Furthermore, we highlight its relaunch of liquid vaporizer with the proposition that the bottle fits in all machines (see Exhibit 1). A liquid vaporizer requires a small plug-n-play apparatus to operate and Maxo’s proposition could recruit consumers, if the marketing communication is successful.

‘All Out’: All might not quite be lost for S C Johnson

The ‘All Out’ brand, which introduced the liquid vaporizer segment within the mosquito-repellant category, recently lost market leadership to GCPL’s ‘Good Knight’. A plethora of innovations (such as jumbo coil, low-smoke coil and double-action vaporizer machine) had improved consumer perception of Good Knight as the innovation leader in the category, which helped GCPL gain substantial market share over the past two years (industry sources suggest GCPL has ~43% share now versus ~33% in 2010). S C Johnson (after acquiring the ‘All Out’ brand from Karamchand Appliances) was possibly in reorganization/consolidation mode, which seems to have helped GCPL to gain share. The recent marketing campaign by S C Johnson (Exhibit 2, a full front page campaign in DNA newspaper) likely suggests its unwillingness to lose further market share. We also note that it had earlier launched a “me-too” version of Good Knight’s ‘2X effective’ product proposition (called ‘Power Slider’) with limited marketing success, in our view.

GCPL’s ability to outperform industry growth appears limited

We remain constructive on GCPL (rated ADD): a large part of our bullishness stems from confidence in strong growth and profitability of the household insecticides category, which forms about half of the overall sales mix (of which, India forms ~35% of the overall sales mix). Good category growth of ~20% over the past few years has been driven by changes in consumer habits, in our view. Mosquito repellants have evolved from being just a seasonal product, used during mosquito-menace seasons (monsoons and the period after winter). The category’s higher urban penetration has been due to product use as a disease-prevention device, in our view. However, a repeat of the strong growth of ~35% over FY2011-12 appears challenging for GCPL. We model sales growth of 17% for the insecticides business for GCPL over FY2012-14E.

Bazaar bytes #4: Increasing competition in the mosquito-repellant category. We expand the coverage of ‘Bazaar bytes’—it will have category views, besides snippets from our on-the-ground reconnaissance. We once again take a deep-dive into the mosquito-repellant category (see our earlier note dated August 26, 2011) and find significantly higher competitive activity: (1) a two-pronged re-launch of ‘Maxo’ by Jyothy (a differentiated product delivery in liquids and its willingness to compete on price and trade discounts (once again) in coils), (2) aggressive brand communication for ‘All Out’ by S C Johnson and (3) new ‘Nature Guard’ variant by Reckitt Benckiser under ‘Mortein’. While GCPL’s insecticides business could potentially grow well in FY2012-14E (we model 17% sales growth), its ability to outpace industry growth appears limited.

Tractor volume growth is likely to remain sluggish for the next few months

We believe tractor volume growth will remain flat over the next few months due to a decline in demand in West and South regions. The key reason for demand slowdown in these regions is a sharp decline in cotton and paddy prices, as these are key regions where cotton and paddy are grown.

Agricultural credit has also moderated to low single digits in the past few months due to a sharp decline in credit from PSU banks (see Exhibit 1). Our channel checks suggest that PSU and nationalized banks account for 50% of tractor lending while NBFCs and private banks comprise the rest 50%. NBFC and private banks have indicated that they have not seen their NPAs rise significantly because of tighter norms while PSU banks have indicated that their NPAs have risen sharply in the tractor portfolio.

We forecast a 7% yoy growth in tractor volumes in FY2013E as we believe labor shortage will drive mechanization of farms; we expect tractor lending to remain robust to support growth.

M&M remains our only BUY pick in the auto sector

M&M continues to remain our preferred pick in the auto sector due to attractive valuations, strong growth in utility vehicle and LCV volumes. We believe the stock has corrected sharply due to two factors – (1) expectations of a sharp rise in diesel tax on passenger vehicles and (2) slowdown in tractor volume growth in the recent months. We believe the impact of a diesel tax on M&M will be muted as the M&M utility vehicle product portfolio is less price-sensitive than small cars and M&M faces very little competition in the utility vehicle segment. We see the tractor cycle continuing over the next few years due to an acute labor shortage which will drive mechanization of farms.

We value the stock on sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology. Our target price is Rs 815 and we retain our BUY rating on the stock.

South and West tractor markets slip. Domestic tractor volume growth has started to moderate significantly since Nov 2011, especially in southern and western states. Major states where tractor demand has been impacted include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, UP and West Bengal. Key reasons for moderation in tractor demand in these markets are 15-20% yoy decline in cotton and paddy prices, poor monsoons in South India and drought in certain regions in Andhra Pradesh.

West and South India tractor demand has been impacted by decline in crop prices

Domestic tractor volume growth has started to moderate significantly since Nov 2011, especially in southern and western states. Major states where tractor demand has been impacted include Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, UP and West Bengal. UP and Maharashtra are the top-two tractor markets in India while AP is the sixth largest tractor market in India.

We highlight the key reasons for moderation in tractor demand in these states

Cotton, paddy and pulses prices have declined by 15-20% over the last one year while wheat prices have been relatively stable (refer to Exhibits 7, 8 and 9). Andhra Pradesh is the largest rice-producing state and third largest cotton-producing state in India. Decline in cotton and paddy prices has impacted tractor demand in AP, West Bengal and Maharashtra as farmers’ profitability has been impacted despite higher cotton and paddy production this year versus last year.

Agricultural credit has also moderated to low single digits in the past few months due to a sharp decline in credit from PSU banks (see Exhibit 1). Our channel checks suggest PSU and nationalized banks account for 50% of tractor lending while NBFCs and private banks comprise the rest 50%. NBFC and private banks have indicated that they have not seen their NPAs rise significantly because of tighter norms while PSU banks have indicated that their NPAs have risen sharply in the tractor portfolio.

We believe tractor volume growth will remain under pressure in the next few months but expect a slight improvement in demand once the rabi crop is sold in the markets and the Government steps up efforts to increase agricultural lending. We are forecasting a 7% yoy growth in tractor volumes in FY2013E as we believe labor shortage will drive mechanization of farms; we expect tractor lending to remain robust to support growth.

Crude oil prices: Increase sharply in February

Crude oil (Dated Brent) prices surged in February 2012 led by (1) rising concerns on potential supply disruptions from ongoing geopolitical tensions in Iran, Sudan and Syria and (2) sharp increase in speculative activities due to enhanced liquidity in global markets. Average crude oil prices (Dated Brent) increased 8% mom to US$120/bbl in February 2012 versus US$111/bbl in January 2012. Light-heavy differential (Arab Light versus Arab Heavy) declined to US$2.5/bbl in February 2012 versus US$2.8/bbl in January 2012. Spot natural gas price (Henry Hub) declined to US$2.5/mn BTU in February 2012 versus US$2.7/mn BTU in January 2012.

Global refining margins: Decline sharply in the recent weeks

Singapore complex gross refining margins declined to US$1.2/bbl in February 2012 versus US$2.2/bbl in January 2012 led by contraction of cracks for diesel, fuel oil and kerosene. Key product cracks moved as follows—(1) gasoline cracks were at US$15/bbl (+US$1/bbl mom), (2) diesel cracks were at US$17.5/bbl (-US$1.3/bbl wow), (3) naphtha cracks were at -US$3.1/bbl (+US$2.2/bbl wow), (4) kerosene cracks were at US$16.5/bbl (-US$0.9/bbl wow) and (5) fuel oil cracks were at -US$0.6/bbl (-US$3.9/bbl wow). We note that the complex refining margins have declined to -US$1.5/bbl in the recent week led by inability of downstream players to pass through increase in crude prices given weak global demand. We estimate India refining margins to decline sharply to US$7.1/bbl in March 2012 versus US$9.3/bbl in February 2012.

India marketing margins: Losses increase led by increase in global product prices

We compute higher subsidy losses assuming unchanged domestic prices for diesel at –Rs9.6/liter (versus –Rs8.2/liter in February 2012 and –Rs2.6/liter in FY2011) led by a steep increase in global diesel prices. We compute higher marketing losses for gasoline at –Rs5.1/liter (versus –Rs2.5/liter in February 2012 and –Rs2.2/liter in FY2011) led by a sharp increase in global gasoline prices. We compute higher subsidy losses on LPG and kerosene at Rs492/cylinder and Rs30/liter for March 2012 versus Rs424/cylinder and Rs29/liter in February 2012.

We have included some key exhibits here. For more details, please refer our India Energy Monthly, March 2012.

Economic reforms or more populism?

In light of its weak performance in the recent state elections (see Exhibits 1-2), the INC party may have to grapple with the best course of action over the next two years as it prepares for the national elections, due in the middle of CY2014. The FY2013 Union Budget may provide more clarity about the Government’s thinking on its future course of action. A budget that spells out (1) fiscal consolidation through reforms and (2) medium-term vision for economic development will be welcomed by the market. We would refer readers to our February 27, 2012 report titled Now for the hard work for our budget expectations with particular focus on India’s fiscal position (see Exhibit 3 for our fiscal projections).

Political stability or policy paralysis?

The INC may have to deal with the unwelcome prospect of some of its allies (both inside and outside the Government) pushing for mid-term national elections so as to benefit from their strong showing in recent state elections. This is a remote possibility, in our view. On the other hand, the Samajwadi Party (SP), the majority winner in India’s biggest State (Uttar Pradesh), may decide to join the ruling coalition at the Center instead of merely providing it with outside support as it now does. Exhibit 4 gives the break-down of seats in the Lok Sabha, by political parties.

Reforms or status quo?

We suspect the market will be less hopeful about reforms after the outcome of the recent state elections. The market was perhaps hoping for (1) a coalition government of SP and INC in UP and (2) SP joining the ruling coalition alliance at the Center, which would have provided more stability to the ruling coalition and the ability to implement reforms.

Defensive strategy or aggressive strategy for the portfolio? A rhetorical question

We believe it would be best to follow a defensive strategy (as we have recommended since early February 2012; see Exhibits 5-7 for our Model Portfolio, Top-5 Buy ideas and Top-5 Sell ideas) until there is concrete evidence of improved governance in India. Also, the market’s expectations of a significant improvement in macro-economic factors (fiscal consolidation and lower interest rates) may be misplaced in light of high crude oil prices and structural issues in the economy, which can only be addressed through tough reforms.

Strategy.dot

Strategy

Everybody’s job just got a bit harder. The weak performance of the Indian National Congress (INC) party in the recent state elections may raise fresh challenges for (1) the Government (future approach to economy and politics), (2) other political parties (future electoral and political strategy), (3) the market (further uncertainty) and (4) investors (bewildering number of factors to track). We stick with our defensive stance. The FY2013 Union Budget due on March 16, 2012 will provide more clarity.

Country flows: Total Indian inflows amount to US$929 mn in February 2012

India, along with other EM regions, has witnessed strong inflows in the past couple of months on the back of ECB’s attempt to infuse liquidity into their banking system. On an mom basis, net Indian inflows amounted to US$929 mn, out of which US$583 mn was attributed to ETFs. China (US$2.08 bn), Brazil (US$1.26 bn) and South Korea (US$1.15 bn) saw strong inflows as well. On a proportional basis, India net inflows have been ~1.6% of total estimated allocations.

Country allocations: India allocations for Asia ex-Japan funds bounce back to 9.8%

Allocations to India by Asia ex-Japan funds bounced back from lows last witnessed in April 2009. CY2011 was marred with down-trending allocations, falling from a peak of 11.4% in March 2011 to 9.2% in December 2011. In January 2012, allocations to India by Asia ex-Japan funds moved up to 9.8% while a similar trend emerged in GEM and BRIC funds as well. Having said that, allocations to India for most of these foreign funds remain negative on a 3-month basis.

Fund flows: Strong inflows for iShares MSCI EM ETF worth US$3.8 bn in past three months

On the India-dedicated front, HSBC GIF India Equity Fund has witnessed the highest inflows followed by ETFs like Lyxor MSCI India ETF, WisdomTree India Earnings Fund and iShares S&P India Nifty 50 Index Fund. While non-ETF activity seemed to dominate the flows in funds dedicated to the Asia ex-Japan region, EM inflows were dominated by the two usual suspects (MSCI EM ETFs of Vanguard and iShares). On a cumulative basis, these two ETFs have witnessed inflows worth US$3.9 bn in the last month and US$7.6 bn in the past three months. Even on a proportional basis, inflows into Vanguard MSCI EM ETF are significant, amounting to ~10% of the total fund size (US$55 bn).
