Company BackgroundSavita Oil Technologies Limited (SOTL) erstwhile Savita Chemicals Ltd. was incorporated in 1961 as a small manufacturingunit producing white mineral oil in Mumbai. Since then SOTL has expanded its product mix and today it specializes inmanufacturing of petroleum derivatives - specialty products like transformer oil, liquid paraffin, petroleum Jelly, white mineraloil, automotive and other industrial lubricants. The products manufactured have wide industrial applications inpharmaceuticals, cosmetic, plastic, power, industrial and automotive. On 19th July 2011 SOTL completed 50 years since itsformation.

SOTL also operates wind power plants in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu with a generation capacity of 43.2 MW (asof March 2011). The power generation capacity has grown at a CAGR of 111.6% for FY08- 11. During FY11 SOTL hasgenerated 71.2 mn units of electricity as against 64 mn units in FY10. Windmills also provide additional income by way ofcarbon credits.

For Automotive lubricants, SOTL had entered into a technical collaboration with Idemitsu Kosan, Japans largest Independentoil company to manufacture automotive and industrial lubricants, to supply majorly to automotive manufacturers like Honda,Toyota, etc. Idemitsu Lube India Private Limited has vide a Notice dated October 13, 2011 terminated the technicalcollaboration agreement for manufacturing and marketing of Idemitsu Products. This termination is to take effect after 180days from the date of the Notice. However, SOTL has the right to manufacture and market the Idemitsu Products for a furtherperiod of 3 years at its discretion from the expiry of the said 180 days. The Technical Collaboration Agreement for GenuineProducts with the same collaborators continues to remain in force. SOTL feels that termination of this agreement would onlymarginally impact the sales volume of the Company. This impact would not exceed 2% (Two percent) of the total sales volumeas appearing in the audited accounts of SOTL for FY11.

SOTL with its core competence is now expanding its presence in retail automotive lubricant business under its own brandSAVSOL.

Its core strength has been transformer oil with its clientele like State Electricity Board (SEB) and almost all major powerequipment manufacturers like ABB, BHEL, Crompton Greaves, NGEF, Areva T&D, Bharat Bijlee, TELK & others. It also sells

white oil to the major FMCG players like HLL, J&J, Dabur, Marico, etc and Pharma companies like Pfizer, GSK and others.While transformer oil contributes to 40-45% of sales, the other two i.e. auto lubricants and white oil contributes the balancealmost equally. A small portion comes from trading in base oils/greases. SOTL sells transformer oil under the brand Transol.

Science and Technology, Government of India. This focus on R&D has paid rich dividends in the form of 9 pioneering productsranging from Petroleum Sulphonates and White Oils to Telecom Cable Filling Compounds.

Investment RationaleRecovered fast from the slowdown seen in FY09:Like most other industries/companies, SOTL also got impacted by the slowdown in FY09. In addition it also got affected by theRupee dollar volatility as it imports almost all its raw materials. Given the need for stocking raw materials and the time toimport, it got badly impacted by the volatility in raw material prices that could not be passed over to its customers.

From H1FY10 onwards, however things stabilised on all fronts raw material price and Rupee dollar rates. This has resultedin sharp turnaround in performance for SOTL in FY10 and FY11 and unless such high volatility in raw material prices andrupee dollar rate returns, such a bad scenario is unlikely to be repeated.

Continued investments being made in power sector offers growth in Transformer oil business:Transformer oil accounts for 40-45% of SOTLs revenues. The demand for transformer oils is determined by the developmentand growth of the power generation and transmission infrastructure in India. The state electricity boards (SEBs) and privateplayers like ABB, Crompton, Alstom, BHEL, Bharat Bijlee are the customers for transformer oil. Its main competitor in thissegment is Apar Industries. SOTL along with Apar hold ~70% market share in the domestic market (both holding almost equalshare). Other competitors include Raj Petroleum, Sah Petroleum, Columbia, Panama and other unorganized players. Close to60% of transformer oil sales goes to transformer manufacturers while the balance goes to SEBs.

There are a few entry barriers for new players in this segment like raw materials are imported in large quantity, proximity toport, gaining confidence of customers, delivering small quantities to different locations of customers, etc.

Planned expenditure on power generation is likely to rise 3 times from the current size in the next two years. For the 11th PlanRs.6,586.3 bn is planned to be spent on transmission schemes, against Rs.3,402.4 bn in the 10th plan. Typically, out of thetransmission and distribution (T&D) investments 65% goes towards transmission and 35 % towards distribution. Around 15%of the investment in Transmission system goes towards transformers. Power transformers account for around 70% of thetransformers market where as the distribution transformers constitute around 30%. With increased focus on power relatedinfrastructure, the transformers industry could see high growth rate in volume as well as value terms and this could be a majortrigger for boost in SOTLs sales (although there has been a slowdown in transformer segment over the last few quarters dueto the Government going slow on orders).

Transformer oil is replaced in every 5-6 years, so the demand from replacement market would be uninterrupted.

SOTL has shown constant growth of in terms of volumes in the past few years. Though in the recent past, the basic raw

material i.e. Base oil, prices has gone up significantly, SOTL has managed to keep its average realization per unit in line withthe increase in the input prices. For SOTL volumes have been the key growth driver in the past and we expect the trend tocontinue.

Improving exports turnover leads to some derisking:SOTL is Indias largest exporter of Petroleum specialty products. Its products are exported to almost all the major countries

across the globe. Its export turnover (FOB Value) is consistently increasing y-o-y. In FY06, exports accounted for 13% ofSOTLs total turnover, which has grown significantly to 16% in FY09 and FY10. But in FY11 the proportion marginally dippedto 12%. It is continuously focusing on building long term supply arrangements for its multinational customers and expandingdeliveries into newer territories. Hence, the exports contribution to total sales could increase over the next 2 years.

Steady growth of lubricating oil business given the buoyancy in the auto market:SOTL accounts for a small proportion of the lubricants market where it competes with Castrol, Indian Oil, HP and BP but thisbusiness accounts for a steady revenue stream (about 25-30% of sales of SOTL) for the company. In technical collaboration

Retail Research 4

with Japanese major Idemitsu, it used to manufacture and market Idemitsu lubricants and sell to Honda Siel, Toyota, M&M,Hero Honda, Kinetic and HMSI. Along with this, SOTL also has tie ups with other auto majors for supplying its brandedlubricants. These auto companies are constantly posting good numbers year on year. With a double digit growth in two-wheelers, four-wheelers and commercial vehicles the demand for auto lubricants is likely to keep rising. Hence, we expect asteadily growing demand for SOTLs lubricant products in the coming years. This is despite the recent termination of technicalcollaboration agreement with Idemitsu.

Currently SOTL has more than 50 C&F depots across India with a network of 30,000+ retailers for delivering lubricants andhas established a pan Indian presence as compared to other small players, which are concentrated in regional pockets. About10% of lubricating oil sales comes from industrial segments (furnace, turbine, etc) while the balance comes from automobiles.SOTL has also started selling lubricant oil under its own brand Savsol.

At the macro economic level, given that the basic consumption drivers for lubricants likely GDP growth of more than 8% inFY12, rapid growth in the industries and infrastructure service sectors, good monsoons all are in place this is expected to givea boost to the volume growth in the market.

Demand for White Oil and Liquid Paraffin could grow given the sweet spot FMCG/Pharma companies are in:This segment accounts for 25-30% of SOTLs sales and the technology used in this has been developed by SOTL in house.SOTL is the market leader in liquid paraffin. FMCG players Hindustan Lever, Dabur, Marico, Johnson & Johnson and pharmacompanies like Pfizer and GSK ensure a good market for white oils/liquid paraffin. The main competitors are Raj Oil andColumbia. The products have wide applications in industries like polystyrene, pharmaceuticals and personal care. These oils

are also used in agarbattis, baby oils, footwear, etc. Out of 25-30% of sales contributed by this segment to SOTLs sales 5-7%comes out of sales for industrial application and balance from FMCG/Pharma applications. More than 40% of the market sharebelongs to SOTL in this segment.

The FMCG sector is set to grow to US$33.4 bn in 2015. Growth is also likely to come from consumer 'upgrading' in thematured product categories. The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment, the fourth largest sector in the Indianeconomy, is expected to witness a steady growth of around 15% over the next few years. The FMCG sector, which was notmajorily impacted by slowdown last year, could see increased demand from urban areas as the economy gains strength. Withthe FMCG sector being a major user of SOTLs products, this business is set to expand further.

Industry OverviewStructure and DevelopmentPetroleum ProductsThis segment consists of Transformer Oils, White Oils/Liquid Paraffins and Lubricating Oils. The main raw material required forall these products is various grades of Base Oils, which is a refined fraction derived- from Crude Oil. The demand for

Transformer Oils is determined by the development and growth of the power generation and transmission infrastructure withinthe country. The market for cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals and personal care products determines the demand for LiquidParaffins and White Oils.

Automotive, Industrial and Marine Applications constitute the three major sectors of the Indian lubricant industry. The generalindustrial and economic conditions decide the demand for lubricant products in these three sectors. The Petroleum Productssegment is competitive with the presence of both domestic and multinational companies vying for a share of the market.

The higher than expected growth, observed in both developed and emerging economies during FY11, has raised hopes for asustained global recovery. However, the fear of emerging high Crude Oil prices is the biggest threat to this recovery. Some ofother risks to global growth remain in the form of weak sovereign balance sheets, frail markets in the Euro area andgeopolitical uncertainties in advanced economies.

LubricantsLubricant demand has recorded a CAGR of around 5 per cent over the past 5 years, due to high growth in the automobile and

industrial sectors, resulting in high primary demand. In the lubricants industry, the top four players hold over 90% marketshare, which has resulted in a high level of concentration in the industry. The margins of companies have also beencomfortable, barring a few occasions when raw material price movements have been volatile. Operating profits of the playershas been consistently rising due to significant pricing power and strong marketing network.

Lubricant Industry SegmentationThe lubricant industry can be divided into two major categories i.e., Automotive & Industrial brand of lubricants. The industrialsegment basically comprises of Core Sector industries like Defence, Railways, State Transport Undertakings, Steel Plants,Coal Mines, Fertilisers, Power Houses, Chemicals & Heavy Engineering Industries. In the industrial segment, the PSUs couldsuccessfully maintain their stronghold due to the reasons that the requirement is most end use specific, customer focussed,productivity linked & service oriented. Here, price, quality, performance track record, R&D infrastructure for technologyupgradation and product development for end use specific application & after sales service play the most significant role &FMCG techniques of promotion and creating illusions takes a back seat.

Risks and concerns Since base oil is derived from crude oil, it is subjected to the volatility in crude oil prices. Though most contracts entered into

by SOTL are with price variation clauses, any sharp volatility in oil prices in a short period of time could hit SOTLs margins.

SOTL has a long working capital cycle for debtors of about 3-3.5 months and this could hamper free cash flow available withthe company.

SOTL imported raw materials worth Rs.907 cr in FY11 (while its exports were Rs.219 cr). Hence, depreciation in value ofrupee vs the dollar could raise its costs and impact its margins. Further SOTL has borrowed Rs.51.7 cr as of Mar 2011 byway of foreign currency loans. Further at any point there are large creditors who have to be paid in foreign currency forimport of raw materials. Though SOTL takes partial forward cover, it may be insufficient in case of large swings in the Rupeedollar rate. In Q2FY11, SOTL debited a sum of Rs.26.44 cr to the P&L account towards foreign exchange fluctuations.

SEBs are large customers for SOTL. Deteriorating financial condition of SEBs could impact the orderflow and recoveries forSOTL.

SOTL has better profitability ratios compared to Apar and its earnings stream is less volatile. SOTL quotes at a discount tovaluation given to Castrol as Castrol is an MNC, its brand has better recall/value, its working capital requirement is efficient, ithas no debt and in profitability ratios are much healthier.

ConclusionThe significant power capacity addition and investment planned in the XI plan for the transmission segment illustrates thegrowth potential for companies like SOTL who generate their major revenues from sale of tranformer oil to power companies.Lubricating oils and other specialty oils are likely to contribute steadily both to the top-line and the bottom-line.

With all the three sectors to which SOTL caters expected to do well we believe that SOTL could continue to sustain theirperformance in the near future. The company has planned a new grass root manufacturing facility at Silvassa with phase-Icapacity of 70,000 tonnes with a capex of Rs.40-50 cr. The plant is expected to commission around April 2012.

After touching a high of Rs.707 in July 2011, SOTL has corrected sharply to reflect the slowdown in growth, rising uncertainityglobally, weakening Rupee etc. SOTL made a low of Rs.370 in Dec 2011. We feel that the correction in the stock is more thanwarranted and there is an opportunity to ride an upmove in the stock based on the short term improvement in sentiments andstability in the Rupee Dollar rate. Further the recent relaxation by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for corporates has eased anaccounting rule on foreign exchange losses, allowing these to be taken on the books over the period of foreign exchangeloans.

At the CMP, the stock is trading at 5.3x FY12E EPS of Rs.75.2. Given the decent outlook on its business, its consistentprofitability, attractive dividend yield and high return ratios, we feel SOTL can get higher discounting in the near term. We feelinvestors could look to buy the stock in the Rs.401-393 band (5.3x - 5.2x FY12E EPS) for a target of Rs.451 (6.0x FY12EEPS) over 4-6 weeks.

Technical View:

As seen from the weekly chart above, SOTL has taken support at 50% retracement level of previous big upmove, whichcomes at Rs.391 level (calculated on weekly closing basis). Over the last three weeks the stock has not closed below Rs.391level. The stock is trading above its 200 week exponential moving average. The recent bottom of Rs.370.2 (formed in weekended December 23) happened to be in the 145th week (which is a Fibonacci number 144+1) from the previous bottomformed in March 2009. Hence this bottom should hold for some time.

Its Stochastic is trading near its oversold region and also its RSI is in verge of giving breakout on the upper side giving bullishsignals. On daily chart the stock is trading above downward sloping trend line. On monthly chart, the stock made a top at

Rs.390 level in Dec 2007 and now in Dec 2011 / Jan 2012 it has taken support at around these levels. According to change ofpolarity principles the stock could take support from the previous top. The stock could face resistance around Rs.460, which isa 38.2% retracement level of the previous upmove (calculated on weekly closing basis) and bottom of previous small up move.The stock has good support around at Rs.380.

One can look to buy SOTL at the CMP of Rs.400.60 for a target of Rs.460 over the next 2-4 weeks with a stop loss of Rs.382.
