RESULTS REVIEW 1QFY20 11 AUG 2019 Britannia Industries NEUTRAL Hits a speed bump! BRIT reported a dull show, mostly owing to weak macros. Modest volume growth and a sharp rise in costs led to negative oplev. EBITDA stagnated. BRIT’s plan to accelerate growth via new launches (~4% of rev.) has hit a speed bump. While management may keep a tight lid on costs hereon, 1HFY20 performance will be weak. 2H holds some hope. Our estimates fall ~5%; we have cut target P/E to 40x (vs 45x) on account of BRIT’s moderating trajectory. Our TP is Rs 2,674. Maintain NEUTRAL. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER Cons. revenue/volume grew at 6/3.5% vs. exp. of 9/6%. Impressive market share gains (+130/+150bps in 1QFY20/FY19) weren’t enough to deliver healthy volume growth. Biscuit category growth has tumbled to 1-2% (vs. 6-8% in FY19) owing to weak rural demand (now at par with urban). BRIT continues to expand share gap vs. Parle (>5% now vs. nil in FY16) driven by premiumisation (value segment is declining) and distribution expansion. Hindi belt (20% mix for BRIT vs. 40% industry mix) which has been a growth driver for BRIT, slowed to ~3% vol. growth. Management claims that demand has marginally improved in July. We expect a recovery in 2HFY20 led by normal monsoons. New launches like milk shakes, cakes, cream wafers, salty snacks have received positive feedback from the trade and consumers. Croissants remain a WIP. We believe BRIT will now hold back new launches and focus on scaling up recent launches. GM expanded by 41bps to 40.4%, despite 4% cost inflation, owing to price hikes and richer mix. EBITDAM declined by 69bps to 14.6% (exp +19bps) owing to (1) Aggressive A&P spends during World Cup (+22% YoY), (2) Commissioned new lines at Ranjangaon plant and (3) Negative oplev.

Britannia Industries NEUTRAL
Hits a speed bump!BRIT reported a dull show, mostly owing to weak macros. Modest volume growth and a sharp rise in costs led to negative oplev. EBITDA stagnated. BRIT’s plan to accelerate growth via new launches (~4% of rev.) has hit a speed bump. While management may keep a tight lid on costs hereon, 1HFY20 performance will be weak. 2H holds some hope. Our estimates fall ~5%; we have cut target P/E to 40x (vs 45x) on account of BRIT’s moderating trajectory. Our TP is Rs 2,674. Maintain NEUTRAL. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER Cons. revenue/volume grew at 6/3.5% vs. exp. of 9/6%.
Impressive market share gains (+130/+150bps in 1QFY20/FY19) weren’t enough to deliver healthy volume growth. Biscuit category growth has tumbled to 1-2% (vs. 6-8% in FY19) owing to weak rural demand (now at par with urban). BRIT continues to expand share gap vs. Parle (>5% now vs. nil in FY16) driven by premiumisation (value segment is declining) and distribution expansion. Hindi belt (20% mix for BRIT vs. 40% industry mix) which has been a growth driver for BRIT, slowed to ~3% vol. growth. Management claims that demand has marginally improved in July. We expect a recovery in 2HFY20 led by normal monsoons.
New launches like milk shakes, cakes, cream wafers, salty snacks have received positive feedback from the trade
and consumers. Croissants remain a WIP. We believe BRIT will now hold back new launches and focus on scaling up recent launches.
GM expanded by 41bps to 40.4%, despite 4% cost inflation, owing to price hikes and richer mix. EBITDAM declined by 69bps to 14.6% (exp +19bps) owing to (1) Aggressive A&P spends during World Cup (+22% YoY), (2) Commissioned new lines at Ranjangaon plant and (3) Negative oplev. We moderate margin expansion in FY20 (40bps) and in FY21 (+90bps) driven by cost savings program, premiumisation in biscuits, GM accretive launches and some oplev.
STANCE BRIT has driven profitable growth in the last few years. However, weak macros and consumer sentiment pose challenges. Also, ICD exposures raise corporate governance concerns, even as they have declined in a quarter by ~30% to ~Rs 5bn (management guided for a capping at current levels). The stock has corrected ~20% since our downgrade (Jul-18). We are admirers of the brand equity, strategy and management execution and like its focus on expanding the addressable market (total snacks co.), but await concrete evidence for an upgrade.
Domestic revenues grew by 7% with volume growth of 3.5%. Revenue grew at slow pace despite sharp (130bps) market share gains in biscuits Commodity inflation was at 4%. Co has taken a price hike of 3.5%. GM expansion was led by richer mix. Employee expense grew by 11% led by increments Advertisment spend grew by 21% to Rs 1.3bn owing to World Cup campaign EBITDAM declined by 69bps owing to operating deleverage and higher A&P spends on new launches. Rs 156mn of exceptional items was on account of VRS expense

BRIT Vs. Parle Market Share
Overall commodity inflation at 4%
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research
Premiumisation, innovation and distribution expansion were the key drivers for BRIT to gain market share over the years Share gap between BRIT and Parle is now >5% BRIT’s market share in Gujarat, Rajasthan, UP and MP is just 1/5th that of Parle (market leader) Commodity inflation has inched up to 4% led by flour and milk inflation. BRIT has taken a price hike of 3-3.5% to pass on cost inflation BRIT has also hedged flour prices until 3QFY20 by purchasing Rs 7bn of wheat in Aug. We expect milk inflation to reverse in the near-term led by onset of flush season and normal monsoon
We expect BRIT to continue to gain market share gains and premiumisation in biscuits Re-launch of rusks and focus on value added products in bread is driving growth New launches In cake have accelerated segment growth Launch of milk shakes has accelerated dairy growth We cut our estimates by 5% to factor in (a) pause in new launches and (b) momentary softness in demand
