Solid institutional player
Moving toward consumer business
Incorporated in 1998 by the Nirmal family, Prabhat Dairy (Prabhat) is a fully integrated
milk & dairy products company engaged in the sale of products to institutional and retail
customers. The company sells specialty and co-manufactured products to its institutional
customers, as well as branded dairy products under the brand names of
Prabhat,
Prabhat Flava, Prabhat Milk Magic
and
Volup
(a recently launched brand for ice-cream).
It aims to become a larger and stronger regional player with a good mix of liquid milk,
fresh value-added products and longer-shelf-life products.
The consumer branded business (B2C) is expected to account for ~50% of its overall
revenues by 2020 (30% as on FY17), led by Hotels, Restaurants and Caterers
(HoReCa), and Retail.
The B2B business already has a solid foundation with a healthy list of clients, which
can be leveraged to develop new products and add new clients to drive steady
growth over FY17-20.
Prabhat targets 80% direct sourcing of milk by FY20 (~70% currently), which should
help it source higher volumes of good-quality raw milk on a consistent basis.
Utilization at its cheese manufacturing facility (third largest in India after Parag Milk
Foods and Amul, with capacity of 30 MT/day) is expected to increase from ~20%
currently to 40% in FY18 and 80% by FY20.
The company has delivered a strong operating performance over past four years,
with revenue, EBITDA and PAT CAGR of 22%, 15% and 25%, respectively. At CMP, the
stock trades at 19x FY19E EPS.

Stock performance (1 year)
Branded business to be revenue and margin driver
Prabhat is one of the emerging names in the value-added dairy products space,
launching a range of products under the Prabhat brand over past two years. The
focus on the B2C business will not only help grow revenues, but also aid
margins as it commands higher gross margins. The company sells pouched milk
& fresh dairy products in and around Maharashtra, while it sells long-shelf-life
products (like ghee and UHT milk) across the country. Management aims to
increase the contribution of the B2C segment to 50% of overall revenues,
mainly led by growth in value-added products like cheese, ghee, dahi and
paneer. In terms of distribution, the company now has presence across 26
states (was present in just Maharashtra in 2012), with around 1,200 distributors
and 0.1m retail outlets. It plans to expand its reach to ~0.2m outlets by FY19.
