Parag Milk Foods

Milking the growth in dairy consumption

INDIA | Dairy | IPO Note

03 May 2016

Parag Milk Foods, founded in 1992, is one of the leading private dairy players in India with a

pan-India presence. It manufactures dairy products such as cheese, ghee, curd, buttermilk,

flavoured milk, and fresh milk, and markets these under brands Gowardhan, Go, ToppUp, and

Pride of Cows. As was highlighted in our March 2016 Ground View edition, growth prospects

for the Indian dairy industry are strong, and Parag Milk Foods, being among the leaders in

value-added products, will benefit considerably from their increasing consumption and from a

shift to organised players (in both rural and urban India). The stock is available at 21x our FY18

earnings (adjusting for sales tax refund) and we believe that its valuation is justified given the

growth visibility, brand equity, innovations history, strong supply chain, and capable

management team. We recommend SUBSCRIBE.

Indian dairy to see 15% CAGR in 2014-20; organised segment to grow faster: The Indian dairy

industry is poised to grow to Rs 9.4tn by 2020 from Rs 4.1tn in 2014 (15% CAGR), as per a report

by research firm IMARC. Within this, the organised segment (20% value share) could see faster

20% CAGR. Organised players dominate high-margin categories (cheese, flavoured and UHT milk,

flavoured yoghurts, lassi), which are poised to see >25% CAGR. Parag Milk Foods is likely to top

overall dairy market growth due to its strong presence in high-growth, value-added categories.

Leading private player in value-added milk products with strong brands: Parag Milk Foods has a

cheese plant capacity of 40T/day and is the second-largest cheese player (32% market share)

after Amul (42% share) in India. Apart from a strong retail presence, its institutional customers

include major QSR brands like Dominos, Pizza Hut and KFC. Its brand Gowardhan Ghee sells at a

5-10% premium to others on a positioning of superior quality and purity. It is also present in

other key high-margin categories like UHT, flavoured milk, buttermilk, and flavoured yoghurt.

History of innovations and product premiumisation: Parag produces various types of cheese

(mozzarella, shredded, cheddar, each in a variety of flavours) and recently launched super

premium Go Almette cheese. It also produces flavoured yoghurt, buttermilk, and flavoured milk

(highest number of variants/flavours in the market for each). It is one of the pioneers of the

concept of farm-to-home fresh milk, which it supplies to Mumbai and Pune under its brand Pride

of Cows (commands 100% premium to regular brands).

Strong sourcing chain and pan-India presence: Parag sources milk from 250,000 farmers in 3,400

villages across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, and also procures milk

indirectly through wholesalers. It has a dairy farm near Pune with 2,000 cows of the Holstein

distributors across the country. It employs 560 people for distribution and marketing. We believe

that the company has the right sourcing and distribution strategy and as its sales expand, its

network will increase and aid growth.

Margins, working capital, and cash-flow to improve as it expands: Gross/EBITDA margins in

FY15 were 23.5%/7.4%; as its sales rise, (1) its margins will expand gradually – due to higher

operating leverage and better supply-chain efficiencies, and (2) its receivables days will fall

(slowly) in the medium term (44 days in FY15) led by strong retail focus and higher bargaining

power with institutional clients. Also, by FY17 most of its capex will be in place and free cash

flows should rise from FY18.

High valuations justified; Recommend SUBSCRIBE: The stock is available at 26/21x our

FY17/FY18 earnings vs. 33/21/10x FY17 earnings for Hatsun Agro/Prabhat Dairy/Kwality Dairy

(our/Bloomberg estimates) while it is available at FY17/FY18 EV/EBITDA of 13/11 vs. 14/8/7x for

FY17 EBITDA for the same peerset. The stock is slightly expensive to some peers but the higher

valuation is justified by lower share of institutional sales, stronger brands, distribution reach, and

strong execution history. Also, we believe that the lower RoE/RoCE for dairy players vs. FMCG

companies is compensated by 35% discount to FMCG sector multiple and higher growth and

premiumisation prospects compared to penetrated FMCG categories.

PARAG MILK FOODS IPO NOTE

About Parag Milk Foods Parag Milk Foods Ltd was founded in 1992. It is an integrated dairy company, and one of the largest private dairy players, with milk-processing capacity of 2mn litres per day. It is present in over seventeen dairy product categories and it markets products under the brands Gowardhan, Go, Pride of Cows, and Topp-up.

Brand-wise product categories of Parag Milk Foods Brands Categories Target

Gowardhan Ghee, Milk, Paneer, Dahi, Curd , Butter,

Dairy Whitener and Gulab Jamun Mix

Every-day dairy products, house hold

Go Flavoured cheese, tubes, slices etc Children and youth, primarily for direct

Pride of Cows Farm-to- home, subscription model Consumer seeking premium quality

Topp- Up Flavored milk with extra proteins Youth and travelers

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research

Currently, the biggest contributors to its revenue (>20% each) are fresh milk, ghee/butter and cheese/paneer. It intends to increase dairy-based beverages portfolio under the ‘Go’ brand, introduce milk-based high-protein drinks, and a new variant of curd with a higher protein and lower fat content. It also intends to set up a whey-proteins manufacturing facility and increase its presence in the premium health supplement space. Because of high proportion of sales from value-added products like cheese, UHT, flavoured milk, buttermilk and curd (~30%) and branding in the otherwise low-margin ghee business (~32%), Parag has consistently delivered gross margins of 22-25% in FY11-16.

Sales mix in FY14-9MFY16 Gross-margin movement from FY11-9MFY16

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research

Manufacturing facilities It has two manufacturing facilities in Pune (Maharashtra)/Palamner (Andhra Pradesh) with milk-processing capacities of 1.2/0.8mn litres per day; it plans to expand capacity of both plants to 2.0mn/1.4mn respectively through the IPO proceeds. It also plans to expand capacity for cheese, paneer, whey, curd-flavoured beverages, and UHT, which we believe will help it to meet the demand growth for the next five years in all its categories.

Strong institutional base and retail distribution network A large part of its range includes long shelf-life food and beverage products that enables it to transport and sell to retail and institutional customers (such as QSRs (quick-service restaurants) – Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, Dominos, Sam’s Pizza, and FMCG companies such as Nestle) across India. Currently, its retail distribution network in India consists of 15 depots, 104 super stockists, and over 3,000 distributors. It has a workforce of 560 people, dedicated to distribution and marketing. Strong sourcing chain Parag sources milk from 29 districts across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, through over 3,400 village-level milk-collection centres, comprising 250,000 farmer members. It also procures milk indirectly through chilling centres and bulk coolers. In addition, It has a dairy farm near Pune with 2,000 cows of the Holstein variety (known for high milk production), which the company says are mainly kept for R&D. Average daily milk procurement for 9MFY16/FY15/FY14/FY13 was 1.00/1.05/0.77/0.85mn litres. The company has proposed to spend Rs 116mn from its IPO proceeds to expand its sourcing network.

While current utilisation levels are high, proposed expansion will cover for growth in the next five years.

Currently, cooperatives (with 55% volume share) dominate the organised sector due to their strong sourcing capabilities. However, as our March 2016 edition of Ground View magazine highlighted, while cooperatives will continue to dominate, there is huge scope for private players to grow in value-added products through superior financial management.

High-margin categories – cheese, flavoured and UHT milk, flavoured yoghurts and lassi – in which organised players like Parag Milk Foods have dominant share are poised to see >25% CAGR in 2014-20..

PARAG MILK FOODS IPO NOTE

Operational parameters for Parag Milk Foods to improve Sales growth to remain robust in the medium term We expect Parag’s sales growth of 15%+ to continue in the medium term because of the general growth in the dairy industry and rising consumption of value-added products.

Sales growth potential is high Sales mix to improve in favour of high-margin products

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research

We do not expect a drastic change in the portfolio mix in the medium term. The mix will gradually shift towards high-margin products such as cheese, whey, UHT, curd/buttermilk, and flavoured milk. Gross margins may not expand beyond current levels in the medium term Due to oversupply of milk globally and in India, milk procurement prices have been flattish or deflationary in the last two years. The supply glut is expected to end sometime in 2017, after which we expect prices to rise. As a result, Parag’s gross margins could slide down slightly.

Gross margins have been relatively stable Gross profit saw 24% CAGR in FY11-15

PARAG MILK FOODS IPO NOTE

EBITDA growth to accelerate due to operating leverage Sales growth should provide operating leverage and contribute positively to margins. While margins will fall slightly due to rising input costs, EBITDA growth will accelerate from FY17, and grow in teens in the medium term.

EBITDA margins have been relatively stable at 7-9% EBITDA growth to accelerate from FY17 on operating leverage

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research

PAT to grow faster than EBITDA due to lower finance cost and higher other income With the IPO proceeds of Rs 3bn, the company will pay Rs 1bn of debt. The infusion of capital will help reduce finance costs and will also increase other income. We expect PAT to jump by 74%/24% to Rs 707/8mn in FY17/18 from Rs 260mn in FY15. From FY18 onwards, PAT should grow slightly ahead of revenue in the medium term.

Working capital days to reduce very gradually in the medium term Working capital as a percentage of sales, while higher compared to pure FMCGs, will start reducing gradually led by reduction in receivables, as its retail sales portfolio expands and inventory levels reduce due to growth of non-cheese high-margin products.

Free cash flow to see a decisive upward trend from FY18 Parag saw negative cash flow between FY11 and FY14 because of significant capex. In FY15, this parameter turned positive; we see cash flow remaining positive in FY16, turning negative in FY17 (high planned capex) and turning positive again in FY18. From FY18 onwards, most of its capacity will be in place for the next 3-5 years, and free cash flow should stay positive.
