Demand to revive as economy opens up
Castrol India (CSTRL)’s CY20 performance remained largely unhindered by declining IIP
levels and muted customer off-take, with the company delivering a resilient performance
for the year. Here are the key insights from CSTRL’s CY20 Annual Report:
CSTRL’s gross profit declined 19% in CY20 (v/s CY19) due to lower volumes, weighed
by disruptions caused by the pandemic and economic slowdown.
Operating and other expenses fell by INR600m in CY20, driven by the company’s
judicious cost management and efficiency programs – which led to robust working
capital management.
In CY20, CSTRL reported PAT decline of ~30% YoY amid the pandemic (against PAT
CAGR of ~8% over CY10-19). Building on its positive long-term outlook, the company
continues to drive growth in the personal mobility segment on the back of its wide
distribution reach and strong brand building. We reiterate buy and value the stock at
20x CY22E EPS to arrive at a TP of INR170/share.

The company continued to introduce BS VI ready products across categories in
CY20. It also launched BS VI compliant products for new next-generation cars
in the OEM space.
The focus was on manufacturing Castrol GTX SUV and the POWER1 Ultimate
range, among other products, that find use in various applications across India.
It also introduced new products such as Ilocut 1945, Iloform BWN 320,
Techniclean HP, and Rustilo DW 310 in the Industrial and HD spaces.
The company pursued growth opportunities and launched new products in
Cruiser Bikes (Castrol Activ Cruise) in CY20 as well as introduced a fully
synthetic performance oil range (Castrol POWER1 Ultimate) in the Premium
segment in 2Ws to expand its product portfolio.
Strong opportunity in Lubricants/Non-Lubricants
In CY20, the company focused on the CI4+ segment within Trucks (improved
portfolio and sustained brand-building efforts) as this is the fastest growing
segment in the Commercial Vehicles category.
CSTRL became the first company to have BS VI compliant products across
categories of automotive lubricants – as it looks to take advantage of further
enhanced technologies within this space.
In the newly launched Jio-BP retail network, the company’s lubricants were
available across over 1,350 Jio-BP sites within just six months of the alliance
(and at ~1,400 Jio-BP sites at the end of 1QCY21). The products saw good
uptake, which has ensured a much wider reach.
The company entered into a strategic collaboration with 3M Ltd in CY20 for a
range of quality vehicle-care products for the automotive aftermarket – it
seeks to diversify into categories outside of Lubricants for further growth
opportunities.

Stock Performance (1-year)
Valuation and view
The capex guidance for CY21 stands at INR800–1,000m.
CSTRL has always enjoyed brand equity in the market. It would be able to secure
its profitability with a) a better product mix, b) cost control, and c) the launch of
advanced products with better realization.
CSTRL has already launched EV fluids globally (China and Europe). In CY20, it
signed agreements with MG Motors and Tata Motors to supply EV fluids in India.
The management expects it would be another 15–20 years before a scalable EV
fleet is seen on Indian roads.
The company is looking at various revenue streams in the future. The deal with
3M is a reflection of its diversification plans into new avenues.
CSTRL is a perfect value-play candidate, with return ratios over 50% and a
dividend payout policy of over 80% (translating to dividend yield of ~5%).
On a one-year forward P/E basis, the stock trades at a discount of ~45% to its
long-term P/E average of 27.1x. Maintain Buy.

Demand revival expected as economy reopens post 2
nd
wave
Demand fell in the 2W and Passenger Lubricants categories in CY20. While it has
started to pick up in 2021, the recent second COVID wave has once again raised
uncertainty regarding the revival of the Mobility sector (with states announcing
partial to full lockdowns).
Building on its positive long-term outlook, the company continues to drive
growth in the segment on the back of its wide distribution reach, strong brand
building, and leveraging of growth in Synthetic Oils.
Despite some other short-term challenges, coupled with the 2
nd
wave, the CV
segment is expected to grow once economic activity picks up and the number of
vehicles on Indian roads continues to rise (resulting in the second round of pent
up demand as things open up).
The government focus on investments in infrastructure is likely to drive growth
in the Construction and Off-highway sectors; this would in turn lead to growth in
lubricant demand in this category. With the Farming segment performing well,
strong lubricant demand is expected from the Agricultural sector as well.

Lubricants market – A bird’s eye view
Overall vehicle sales plunged in CY20 v/s the previous year. This was largely
attributable to a tough operating environment and restricted activity in the first
half of CY20, which showed signs of recovery in the latter half.
India is the world’s third largest Lubricants market after the US and China;
consumption increased 3.7% YoY to ~2.8b liters in CY19.
On the regulatory front, the mandate that all new vehicles sold from Apr’20
must comply with BS VI emission norms was a significant development.
CSTRL operates in a highly competitive market, comprising national oil players,
several international players, and various local players.
The company operates in all the major categories, such as Automotive,
Industrial, and Marine & Energy Applications. CSTRL’s focus has always been on
Personal Mobility segment (which forms ~45-50% of total volumes; followed by
~30-35% of commercial automotive volumes and rest is industrial volumes) and
plans to continue it in the future as well.
