Cons. EBITDA/adj. PAT grew 26.5%/19.9% YoY to INR6.5b (vs. our est. of INR6.5b) and INR4.1b (vs. our est. of INR4.4b), respectively. Domestic decorative paints posted an estimated 13% volume growth in 4QFY16, aided by a low base (4% volume growth in 4QFY15). The business’ volume growth for FY16 is estimated to be 12%, led by good growth in 2HFY16 on account of the festive season. Gross margin expanded by 390bp YoY to an all time high of 48.3% (vs. our estimate of 46.8%), driven by benign input costs. It must be noted that APNT had taken a weighted average price cut of 2%, effective Feb-26, 2016. The price cut was broad-based, being slightly higher in Enamels (solvent-based paints) in comparison to Emulsions (water-based paints). Higher other expenses (up 120bp YoY) and employee expenses (up 90bp YoY) restricted EBITDA margin expansion to 190bp YoY to 16.6% (vs. our estimate of 16.9%). Thus, the EBITDA growth of 26.5% YoY to INR6.5b was exactly in line with our estimate of INR6.5b. Lower other income and higher tax rate led to PAT increasing by 19.9% YoY to INR4.1b (vs. our estimate of INR4.4b). Imputed sub. sales, EBITDA and adjusted PAT grew by 16.1%, 43.6% and 190%, respectively. FY16 sales, EBITDA and adj. PAT grew 9.5%, 26.6% and 24.7% YoY, respectively. Analyst Meet takeaways: (a) Volume growth was led by both low base of 4QFY15 as well as recovery in demand in 2HFY16, (b) Rural is growing at a faster pace in paints, mainly due to faster conversion to permanent dwellings, (c) Implementation of pay commission and OROP will lead to healthy demand. Valuation and view: We are raising our estimates marginally due to a possible pick-up in demand off a low base on account of the pay commission/OROP implementation. APNT enjoys a strong position in the decorative paints industry, backed by its unparalleled supply chain. However, at 42.2x FY17E and 38x FY18E, we find the stock’s valuations expensive. Maintain Neutral with a target price of INR860 (36x FY18 EPS). Investors are advised to refer through important disclosures made at the last page of the Research Report.

Analyst Meet Takeaways 4QFY16 as well as FY16 witnessed double digit volume growth in decorative

paints. This was led by both low base in 4QFY15 but also by recovery in demandin 2HFY16. The management would want to wait for a couple more quartersbefore calling out a recovery in the sector

There was a price deflation of 2% taken in Feb 2016. Management reckonedthat prices of RMs have definitely bottomed out. On the other hand, rupee hasalso been stable in last few months

Rural still growing faster than urban. Rural is around half of total sales.Geographically South is a little slower. Rural is growing faster mainly asconversion to permanent dwelling is stronger in the hinterland, thus resulting inpaint demand

Implementation of Pay Commission and OROP will lead to healthy demand Post-earthquake redevelopment work in Nepal is an opportunity There could however be currency shortage issues in a couple of African

countries in FY17 New regulations banning lead in paints above 90 ppm may affect unorganized

sector but implementation will be difficult

Financial highlights Annual International PAT over INR 2 b over 50% growth Asian PPG Sales were up 12% to INR 3.22 b with PBIT of INR 71 m Sleek revenues INR 1.35 b and loss of INR 190 m at PBIT level Ess Ess revenues were INR 1.06 b but PBIT loss was INR 300m

Financial Highlights quarter Increase in employee costs due to incentives due to great volume growth,

performance pay for senior managers Other expenses high due to rebates by competition which the company

followed Diminution in value of investments in 3QFY16 of INR 653m was on the Sleek

business as revenues have not scaled up to expectations and vis-à-vis the pricepaid for the business

Segments and products 60-70% cost of painting is labour costs so customers are preferring better

quality paints due to lower salience in overall costs New construction growth is still slow. Repainting is 80% of paint sales Repainting is done for 3 reasons (a) maintenance (b) occasion led (c) décor led.

For the latter 2 quality does not make a difference Now have over 300 ‘Colour Idea’ stores. Will add 50-75 stores every year Colour idea store 300-1000 sq ft Customer involvement is increasing and thus Colour Ideas is succeeding. Did not

disclose percentage 'Loctite' in retail market is a co-branding tie up with Henkel. in industrial market

Henkel distributes themselves. What is in it for them? Distribution synergies at40,000 outlets. Better products than existing products. For eg Sino acrylic less

sticky and slower in drying. Henkel is not comfortable entering adhesives retail market. Products will be sold along with outlets selling paints

Smart Care waterproofing is doing well Waterproofing was earlier available in top 3000 of the 40000 paint outlets now

15000-20000 dealers. Diagnosing is the problem and its employees are trainedfor identification

Sleek growth was weaker than paints growth as modular kitchen componentsmainly go to new construction or large revamp. Paints more frequent andmainly to repainting, which is 80% of paints demand

In most areas of Home improvement APNT will not get into manufacturing In their AP Homes business (one stop shop that they have for al building

materials, currently just 1 store in Coimbatore) the furnishing partners areD"Décor, Furniture partners are Pepper Fry, and Philips for lighting

Planning more AP Homes in the current year AP homes current one is over 7000 sq feet. Will be happy with 50-100 AP Homes

in the near term. Franchise led. Need to provide value to consumer and theretailer to succeed

Digital platform is incurred by APNT. Part of marketing expenditure

Plants, Capex, investment FY16- invested INR 1.43bn in APIL Mauritius Expanded capacity at Rohtak plant from 200,000 kl to 400,000 kl in FY16 Ankleshwar and Kasna modernization completed in FY16 AP plant being set up at a capex of INR 17.5 bn, Mysore plant being set up at a

cost of INR 23 b Setting up greenfield plant in Indonesia FY17 Consol Capex INR 3.5 b in FY17 and starting FY18 INR b

Valuation and view We upgrade estimates by 1-2% due to possible pick-up in demand off a low base

due to pay commission/ OROP implementation. APNT enjoys strong position in the Decorative Paints industry, backed by

unparalleled supply chain leadership. However, we find valuations expensive at 42.2x FY17E and 38x FY18E. Maintain

Neutral with a target price of INR860 (36x FY18 EPS).
