Unique play in Personal Care and Healthcare
Emami (HMN) has successfully entered and established leadership in niche
categories. It has created categories like Cooling Oil, Cooling Talc and Men’s
Fairness Cream, and has gained leadership in Antiseptic Cream, where it faces
limited competition from a regional player. Its strategy of using Ayurvedic
proposition, creating a portfolio of high gross margin products with low
competitive (especially MNC) intensity, driving volumes through smaller unit
packs with a mass market focus, and investing aggressively in brands has made
four of its largest brands leaders in their respective categories. ~70% of its sales
are from categories where its brands are market leaders.
Multiple growth drivers
HMN’s revenue growth in the last three years has been a function of consistent
growth in incumbent brands, success of some of its new product launches, and a
growing export portfolio. We expect the company’s power brands (Boroplus,
Navratna, Zandu Balm & Mentho Plus Balm and Fair and Handsome) to continue
posting healthy revenue growth and new launches to help drive volume growth.
Distribution expansion and focus on OTC Healthcare are key cornerstones of its
medium term growth strategy.

Stock Performance (1-year)
Stable RM prices to drive margin expansion; gains to be invested in
brands
Correction in menthol prices has driven significant gross margin expansion in
FY13 and 9MFY14. Menthol prices are 13% lower YoY and are now stable. This
should support gross margin expansion in FY15. We expect HMN to use the
gains to invest more in brands, as it introduces new variants/brands.
Fundamentals strong; valuations reasonable
We expect HMN to achieve 15.4% earnings CAGR over FY14-16 (on the base of
23% CAGR delivered over FY12-14). EBITDA margin should expand 100bp, driven
by higher gross margin and scale benefits. We believe HMN is a good long term
bet, with presence in categories having long runway for growth, together with
low competitive intensity. We initiate coverage with a
Buy
rating and target
price of INR555 (24x FY16E EPS). Continuation of current consumption
slowdown and potential expensive acquisitions remain the key risks.

Skin Care:
The INR62b Skin Care category in India is characterized by the
presence of large domestic as well as MNC players. Skin Care contributes ~35%
of HMN’s revenue and a higher share of its profits owing to superior margin
profile. HMN is the market leader in Antiseptic Cream, with its
BoroPlus
brand. It
is also the market leader in Men’s Fairness Cream, with
Fair and Handsome
(first
mover advantage, having capitalized on the need for a fairness product for men;
focus on mass market). It is increasing its market share in the Talcum Powder
category, with
Navratna Cool Talc
(niche cooling positioning; benefiting from
the market leader’s lack of aggression and focus). Presence of deep pocket
MNCs like HUVR and Garnier, which are increasingly focusing on the Men’s
Fairness market, coupled with overall slowdown in Fairness Cream may keep
growth under pressure in the near term.

Balms & Pain
Relief: Pain Relief has been a focus segment for HMN, which has
home grown brands such as
Mentho Plus Balm
and
Himani Fast Relief.
However,
the acquisition of Zandu in 2008 significantly increased this category’s
contribution to ~26% of HMN’s consolidated sales. The company’s Ayurvedic
positioning and widening rural presence has facilitated strong growth in this
category over the last three years.

Strong innovation track record; leveraging LUPs to build rural presence
HMN’s management has a good track record of innovation and has developed
several niche categories (see Annexure: HMN’s entry into Men’s Fairness – a case
study). Consequently, it enjoys first mover advantage in categories like Men’s
Fairness, Cooling Oil, Antiseptic Cream. We note that HMN’s portfolio largely caters
to the mid and mass end of the category spectrum. The company is looking at
building deeper presence in small towns. Hence, its focus on the mass end through
low unit packs (LUPs) is natural, in our view. It is also looking to leverage the equity
of its brands to drive portfolio expansion.
Innovation to extend presence in adjacent categories:
HMN’s medium term
strategy includes extension of its presence in existing categories through new
variant launches, introduction of value-added offerings and exploiting the brand
equity of its power brands to enter into new categories (entry into Face Wash
under
BoroPlus
and
Fair & Handsome).

Emami
Aggressive advertising and promotion strategy to strengthen brands
HMN has consistently maintained an aggressive advertising and promotion strategy.
It has been investing heavily in its brands. Though its A&P-to-sales has declined in
the last four years, at 16.4%, it is still one of the highest amongst its Consumer peers
that have largely maintained sub-15% A&P-to-sales. In 9MFY14, its ad spends fell
180bp to 16.6% due to low new launch momentum and conscious management
decision to withhold investments in a weak economic environment. However, we
expect ad spends to move up in FY15, as HMN drives new launches in Skin Care and
enhances presence in the OTC Healthcare segment. HMN’s advertisement
campaigns are in keeping with its mass market focus. The company has a large
number of celebrities endorsing its brands, which keeps its ad spends high.
Movie Marketing: In 1983
Bollywood film, Agar Tum
Na Hote, Emami did a brand
placement campaign with
lead actor Rajesh
Khanna playing the
managing director of Emami
Preference for celebrity endorsements:
HMN has a large number of celebrities
endorsing its brands, which is one of the key reasons for the higher ad spend
ratio. It typically signs actors/ cricketers/other sportspersons and uses locally
relevant brand ambassadors (regional actors, etc) to create a buzz around its
brands. The management believes that the celebrity appeal creates aspirational
value for its brands and enhances the target audience for its niche products. In
South India, HMN has used regional advertising and regional celebrities (Surya,
Chiranjeevi) to market its product range. Such a strategy improves brand
acceptability.
Creating mass appeal through television campaigns:
A large number of HMN’s
television campaigns are aimed at attracting the bottom of the pyramid (BOP)
consumer and creating aspirational value for its brands at the lower end of the
consumer pyramid. It also leverages local fairs, jatras and melas to drive visibility
of its brands.

Multiple growth drivers
Portfolio expansion + OTC Healthcare focus
HMN’s organic revenue growth has been a function of consistent growth in incumbent
brands, success of new product launches, and a growing export portfolio.
It has expanded its Skin Care portfolio through entry into adjacent categories.
It is focusing on Zandu and its OTC Healthcare portfolio for the medium term.
Hitherto known for its family-driven organizational culture, HMN has been recruiting
senior-level talent from MNCs in the last 12-18 months. We see this as an important
milestone in its growth strategy.
New product launches to drive volume growth
In a slowing urban consumption environment, HMN’s volume growth has dipped
from 13-15% in FY13 to 5% in 9MFY14. Adverse seasonality coupled with overall
slowdown in Consumer categories has impacted HMN’s performance.
HMN has been continually launching innovative products in the Personal Care space,
and has leveraged its brand strength and Ayurvedic positioning to enter new
categories. Its strategy entails indentifying niche mass market segments within
Personal Care and Healthcare, where gross margins are high and competitive
intensity is low.
New launch momentum has been relatively sedated in the last two years. HMN
typically test markets 3-5 brands every year, and then, based on the success and
consumer acceptance, scales them up nationally. We expect an increase in new
launch momentum in FY15.
HMN has recently launched
Fair & Handsome Instant Fairness Face Wash
after
entering the category in early 2012 by launching
BoroPlus Advanced Moisturizing
Face Wash.
Subsequently, it launched a niche anti-pollution variant of
BoroPlus Face
Wash
in October 2013, with endorsement by actress, Bipasha Basu. Face Wash is an
INR10b category, growing at over 20%. MNCs with deep pockets – HUVR, Beiersodrf
(Nivea), L’oreal (Garnier), etc, are present in the category.
Some of the notable new launches/relaunches from HMN’s stable in the last few
years include
Navratna Extra Thanda, Navratna Cool Talc, Vasocare Petroleum Jelly,
Malai Kesar Cold Cream, BoroPlus Lotion,
and
Himani Fast Relief.
We expect
innovations/extensions and new category entries in
Skin Care
to drive volume
growth for HMN in FY15 and FY16.

Healthcare: Abundant opportunity; medium term catalyst
The management emphasizes the lucrative Healthcare opportunity, underpinned by
rising stress levels in urban centers and growing preference for a healthy lifestyle.
Ayurvedic and herbal products are popular in India. Given its rich century-old
heritage,
Zandu
has a very strong brand equity amongst both practitioners and
consumers. The OTC Healthcare market in India is growing at 25-30% a year. HMN’s
Healthcare business (including ayurvedic generics, OTC products and ethical
products) grew 34% in FY12, 27% in FY13 and 29% in 9MFY14. HMN aims to
strengthen its Healthcare portfolio of OTC and generic products under the
Zandu
umbrella.
Ayurvedic generics:
These are essentially herbal medicines manufactured as per
ancient text books of Ayurveda. HMN has a portfolio of 139 health solutions and
200 products, and uses various below-the-line activities like doctor contact
programs, health camps, etc, to promote them. It has renewed its entire
product range and looks to leverage it, going forward.
OTC products:
HMN relies on celebrity endorsements to drive growth in this
segment. For example, Indian cricket team captain, MS Dhoni promotes
Zandu
Pancharishta,
which posted a growth of 47% in FY12 and 68% in FY13.
Ethical products:
These are Ayurvedic proprietary medicines, sold through
prescriptions of registered medical practitioners. HMN has a portfolio of 15
products in this category. Its flagship brand
Rhumasyl,
a topical pain reliever for
pain associated with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal pain,
frozen shoulder, spondylitis and lumbago is the market leader in the Ayurvedic
topical pain management category.
Launch new products and close portfolio gaps.
Expand distribution in targeted (chemist) channel.
Build modern trade presence.
The management believes that
Zandu Pancharisht
and
Vigorex
have strong
potential.
Zandu Pancharisht
contributes INR450m and could grow at 25-30% in
the medium term.
Emami’s Healthcare strategy
We expect HMN to leverage
Zandu’s
brand equity and build a gradual presence in
the Healthcare space. We believe this will provide an additional catalyst for medium
term growth. We are modeling for 25% revenue CAGR over FY14-16 for HMN’s
Healthcare portfolio.

International Business: FY14 growth driven by lower base; expect
moderation
HMN’s International Business division contributes ~11% of its overall revenue. It has
a presence in 60 countries. While SAARC countries account for 45% of the division’s
revenue, GCC countries contribute 20%. In 9MFY14, the division’s revenue grew
30%, aided by low base. In FY13, revenue had declined 5.4%, primarily due to the
discontinuation of low margin products in Africa, inventory correction and
counterfeiting issues in Russia. Over FY14-16, we expect 12% revenue CAGR for the
International Business. HMN remains vulnerable to political and currency risks.
Local production in Bangladesh a positive:
HMN’s Bangladesh plant
commenced operations in FY13; localized production has helped save on import
duties. While revenue declined 5% in 3QFY14, impacted by political
disturbances, we expect Bangladesh to be a key catalyst for HMN’s SAARC
performance, going forward.
International presence relatively limited:
Unlike its Tier-II peers like Dabur,
Marico, and Godrej Consumer, HMN’s international footprint is limited. Godrej
Consumer, Dabur and Marico derive 25-45% of their revenues from
international operations. Footprint for these players has increased primarily
owing to inorganic initiatives over the last 4-5 years.

Professionalizing senior management: An important milestone
Hitherto known for its family-driven organization culture, HMN is recruiting senior-
level talent from MNCs over the last 12-18 months. We see this as a very important
step, as it underscores the management’s intent to professionalize the set-up as it
embarks on its medium term growth strategy.
It has recruited several CXO-level professionals from organizations like P&G and
HUVR across functions like IT, International Business, Healthcare, and Research &
Innovation. Typically, HMN has faced constraints while recruiting senior hires, as it
operates out of Kolkata. To circumvent this issue, it is allowing some senior
managers to operate from Mumbai. For example, Mr Chetan Gore, CEO,
International Marketing, as well as Ms Punita Kalra, CEO, Research & Innovation,
operate from Mumbai.

In the Consumer sector, Marico has set a benchmark in terms of professionalizing

these organizations have professionalized senior management, significant
ownership by promoter family. HMN appears to be headed the same way.

Stable RM prices to drive margin expansion
Gains to be invested in brands
Prices of menthol, ~20% of HMN’s raw material cost, have remained flat in the last six
months and declined 13% in the last 12 months. Currently, menthol prices are stable
at INR850-900/kg.
Correction in menthol prices has driven significant gross margin expansion in FY13 and
FY14. Stable menthol prices should support gross margin expansion even in FY15.
We expect HMN to use the gains to invest more in brands, as it introduces new
variants/brands in Skin Care and Healthcare.
Stable menthol prices provide margin visibility
Prices of menthol, ~20% of HMN’s raw material cost, have remained flat in the last
six months and declined 13% in the last 12 months. 9MFY14 gross margins have
expanded 490bp YoY to 62.8% due to decline in menthol prices. Currently, menthol
prices are stable at INR850-900/kg. HMN has sufficient covers till June 2014, which
provides gross margin visibility. However, other RM costs are rising. Light liquid
paraffin (LLP) prices are up 20% YoY while HDPE prices are up 24% YoY. We believe
modest pricing action coupled with steady menthol prices can support 100bp gross
margin expansion in FY15.
Ad spends to increase 200bp in FY15
In 9MFY14, ad spends have contracted 180bp, as the management consciously
curtailed brand spends in a low growth environment. However, we expect ad spends
to increase 200bp in FY15, as HMN expands its Skin Care and Healthcare portfolios.

Fundamentals strong; valuations reasonable
Initiating coverage with a Buy rating
We expect 15.4% revenue CAGR over FY14-16 and 100bp EBITDA margin expansion by
FY16. Cash flows are likely to grow from INR2.7b in FY14 to INR4.6b in FY16.
With moderate capex requirements of INR750m per year and a stable working capital
profile, RoE should remain steady at 45-47%.
We initiate coverage with a Buy rating. Our target price of INR555 implies 20% upside.
Fundamentals strong
We expect HMN’s revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15.4% over FY14-16, driven by new
launches in Skin Care and Healthcare as indeed its power brands. We estimate ~10%
volume growth for HMN, higher than the 6% it has clocked so far in FY14. EBITDA
margin should expand 100bp over FY14-16 to 24.2%. Capex requirements over the
next three years are limited and HMN’s already healthy balance sheet (current net
cash of INR5b) should strengthen further, providing the company the flexibility to
scout for acquisitions or increase payout.
Expect healthy revenue CAGR of 15.4% over FY14-16:
We expect HMN to
maintain healthy 15.4% revenue CAGR over FY14-16, driven by consistent
performance by its mainline brands, and incremental growth from new product
launches and international forays.
EBITDA margin to expand by 100bp over FY14-16:
HMN’s operating margin
expanded by 100bp in FY13 and nearly 370bp in 9MFY14 owing to correction in
menthol prices and curtailment in ad spends. With steady menthol prices and
annual price hikes of 4-5%, we expect 100bp EBITDA margin expansion over
FY14-16, despite our expectation of 200bp rise in ad spends.

balance sheet; expect net cash to double by FY16:
We expect
HMN’s net cash balance to nearly double from INR4.5b to INR8.6b in FY16.
Capex requirements over the next three years are limited (our estimate:
INR750m-800m per year). HMN’s already healthy balance sheet should
strengthen further, providing the company the flexibility to scout for more
acquisitions or increase payout.

Steady return ratios:
We expect EBITDA margin to expand by 100bp over FY14-
16, led by higher gross margin. Our expectation of 15.5% PAT CAGR coupled
with moderate capex requirements and a stable working capital profile should
result in stable RoE of 45-47%, higher than Dabur, Godrej Consumer and Marico.
HMN enjoys higher RoE than tier-II peers due to difference in depreciation
policy on fixed assets and lower salience of International Business, where
working capital requirements are higher than domestic operations.

Niche portfolio with solid long term prospects; Buy
We like HMN’s niche Ayurveda and herbal-based positioning, strong track record on
innovation and new category incubation with limited direct competition from MNC
players. Hiring of senior level managers in R&D, International Business, IT and
Healthcare signifies HMN’s intent at professionalizing the hitherto family-driven
organization culture. We are also excited about HMN’s focus on the Healthcare
opportunity. Scale-up of this business can be a long-term growth driver.
Other positives are lower competitive intensity in its key categories and its proven
track record of innovation and category incubation. We initiate coverage with a
Buy
rating and a 12-month forward target price of INR555, 20% upside excluding
dividend. We value the stock at 24x FY16E earnings and arrive at a target price of
INR555. Our target multiple for HMN is in line with our target multiple for our mid-
cap Consumer universe – Dabur, Godrej Consumer and Marico.

Risks and concerns
Currently, the key concerns relating to the stock are: (1) potential heightened
competition in its key categories, and (2) the management’s aggressive acquisition
intent in the domestic market, which could impact profitability as well as product
mix.
Increasing competition in key categories
HMN has followed the strategy of identifying opportunities in niche segments and
building sizeable brands in these segments. Within its key categories, competition
has thus far been largely regional. The entry of Marico (8-9% market share in Andhra
Pradesh) and Bajaj Corp in Cooling Oils has signaled the emergence of large pan
India competitors for HMN. However, we note that the efforts haven’t yielded much
dividend so far.
The larger threat of competition is in the Men’s Fairness category, where Beiersdorf
(Nivea), Hindustan Unilever, L’Oreal (Garnier) and P&G (Gillette) have upped the
ante. All these players have invested aggressively in their respective brands. HMN’s
Fair & Handsome
is well-placed, with its mass positioning and attractive pricing, but
increasing competitive intensity from large players is a concern from the pricing and
margin viewpoint.
Aggressive acquisition intent in domestic market
HMN acquired Zandu in November 2008 at ~60x FY08 earnings (~45x FY08 earnings
excluding land value). At that point, this was seen as an expensive acquisition and
significantly impacted the HMN’s valuations. However, post the acquisition, HMN
successfully increased Zandu’s profitability, creating value for the shareholders of
both companies.
HMN subsequently made an aggressive bid for Paras Pharmaceuticals, which was
speculated to have been higher than the eventual acquirer, Reckitt Benckiser (EV of
8x FY10 sales and 30x FY10 EBITDA). HMN’s stock price corrected 30%, but
recovered post the Reckitt purchase. The impact on HMN’s valuations on both
occasions was due to concerns on the company overpaying.
The management has indicated that it is not looking at any overseas opportunities,
currently. However, its intent to grow its domestic Healthcare and OTC portfolio
could result in an expensive acquisition, adversely impacting valuations at that
point. The management has indicated that it has not yet identified any other
domestic target in the OTC space, which is its key acquisition focus area.
Nevertheless, its acquisition intent remains an overhang.

Emami
Annexure I
Background
Emami Limited (Bloomberg: HMN) is the flagship company of the ~INR60b Emami
Group. The two promoters, Mr RS Agarwal and Mr RS Goenka laid the foundations
of the company in 1974 as a partnership firm, Kemco Chemicals. In 1978, they
acquired Himani Limited, a cosmetics company based in eastern India, with a factory
in Kolkata. Himani launched
BoroPlus
in 1982 and the
Navratna
cooling oil range in
1989. In 1998, the promoters merged the two entities, creating Emami. The
company has since focused on expanding its portfolio in the Healthcare and
Personal Care space. In 2008, it acquired Zandu, giving it a leadership position in the
Balm category and access to a host of Ayurvedic and OTC products.

HMN’s entry into Men’s Fairness – a case study
Hindustan Unilever (HUVR) controls over 50% of the Skin Care market. Its key
brands in the category include
Fair & Lovely (FAL), Pond’s, Lakme
and
Vaseline.
It
enjoys leadership in the Fairness Cream market through FAL.
However, HMN took the initiative and launched the first Men’s Fairness Cream
brand,
Fair & Handsome
in 2005. It now controls 58% of the Men’s Fairness Cream
market, despite launches by other competitors (Fair
& Lovely MenzActive
by HUVR,
Nivea for Men, Fair One Man Cream, Garnier Power Light,
etc).
Despite a strong incumbent with an iconic brand nearly defining the category, HMN
identified the need for a new product and created a segment. It conducted market
research, which showed that 1/3rd of the buyers of Fairness Creams were men and
developed a dedicated product for this stratum. This highlights the benefits of
having a unique/niche offering, notwithstanding the size/reputation of the
incumbent leader.
HMN's F&H launch – background
Fairness Creams had traditionally tried to reach out to women by suggesting
that their chances of finding a good husband/job were considerably brightened
by using a fairness cream and men were targeted by hinting that they would be
able to impress a girl more easily if they also used a fairness-enhancing product.
One advertisement from HMN, for example, depicted a dark-complexioned boy
sneaking into a girls' hostel to steal a pack of a fairness cream meant for women.
He is shooed away by the girls and is subsequently advised by a friend to get a
fairness cream meant for males -Fair
& Handsome.
After using the product, he
becomes attractive to females, and a jingle plays in the background: 'Hi
handsome, hello handsome'.
HMN's
Fair & Handsome
provoked a reaction from HUVR, which also launched a
product meant for men, named
Fair & Lovely Menz Active
in 2006.
