Edelweiss Investment Research

Borosil Glass Works Ltd (Borosil) is a 50+ year-old brand, a pioneer in specialty glass and a market leader in the microwavable kitchen glassware

segment. The company is present in two segments — consumer products division (CPD) and scientific and industrial products (SIP). Borosil has

acquired two businesses in FY16: (a) Hopewell (CPD segment), and (b) Klasspack (SIP divison). Also, restructuring of Borosil’s businesses will result in

Gujarat Borosil becoming a 58% subsidiary. Borosil has a strong distribution network of over 200 distributors/10,000 retailers in CPD and a healthy

5,000 active customers and 170 distributors in SIP. Borosil focuses on growth via the organic as well as the inorganic route. Its strong balance sheet

and cash surplus affords investment in brand building and acquisitions to supplement organic growth. Further, the recent GST implementation will

support organised players. Increasing market share, a vibrant product portfolio and wide distribution reach should enable Borosil to clock 32%

earnings CAGR, teeing off healthy cash flows and robust return ratios. At CMP of INR 8,803, the stock is currently trading at 32x FY18E EPS of INR 272,

28x FY19E EPS of INR 311 and 24x FY20E EPS of INR 371. We initiate coverage with a ‘BUY’ recommendation.

Strong, steady, SIP business should support growth in CPD business

Borosil’s SIP division has a target market of ~INR 5,000cr and focus on three key segments – laboratory glass, laboratory instruments and

pharmaceutical packaging. The company is a market leader in the domestic lab glass market with 60% -share. With acquisition of Klasspack and

introduction of LabQuest, Borosil is expected to explore the ~INR 700cr market opportunity in the pharma packaging and lab instrument segments.

Borosil’s SIP division is expected to grow at 20% CAGR over FY17-20E with entry into a new market of pharma packaging products via acquisition of

Klasspack as well as organic revenue growth of ~16%. Borosil’s CPD has three major focus product businesses – microwavables, storage and

opalware. Borosil is the market leader in microwavable glass products with 60% share and continues to penetrate the market. The storage product

business has reached meaningful sales in the last three years and is expected to double in the next couple of years owing to the opportunity

market of INR 1,000cr. With acquisition of Hopewell, Borosil has entered the opalware market; and significant improvement in Hopewell’s financials

(sales doubled, margin improved, excluding one-off expense in FY17) post acquisition, is a clear indication of Borosil’s strategic focus. Borosil’s

strong pan-India distribution network, geographic presence and channel loyalty will lead to scale the consumer business and due to this sales and

distribution synergy, we expect higher throughput and significant margin improvement. Borosil’s CPD revenue is expected to clock CAGR of 19%

over FY17-20E driven primarily by the acquisition of Hopewell - improvement in utilization, introduction of new products and investment in brands.

Improvement in product mix and backward integration will boost operating margin

We envisage Borosil’s EBITDA margin to jump to 16% in FY20E from 10.7% in FY17 riding multiple levers:

The change in product mix in favour of consumer-ware is bound to boost margins. Borosil has prudently metamorphosed from B2B to B2C.

SIP division expected to improve margins on account of consolidation of Vyline Glass Works and diversification in products.

Utilisation of acquired entities is expected to improve significantly, resulting in operating leverage.

Outlook and valuation: Consumer and brand focus intact; earnings growth story; initiate with ‘BUY’

Increasing market share, vibrant product portfolio and wide distribution reach amply equip Borosil to clock 32% earnings CAGR over FY17-20E,

which in turn is bound to propel healthy cash flows and robust return ratios. We initiate coverage with a ‘BUY’.

Price Target INR 11,856

We have done sum-of-the-parts valuations to value the company, we have arrived at a target price of

INR 11,856 by assigning 35x/25x/20x FY20E earnings to the CPD/SIP/Gujarat Borosil businesses,

respectively, resulting a 32x P/E multiple to Borosil’s consolidated FY20E EPS of INR 371. Borosil’s revenue

is expected to clock CAGR of 20% over FY17-20E driven primarily by the consumer-ware division and

inorganic expansion alongside improvement in utilisation.

Bull

36x Bull Case FY20E EPS

INR 14,440 Assuming higher revenue growth in the SIP and CPD divisions at 24% and 22% respectively, we expect

Borosil to generate an EPS of INR 396 in FY20E. Assigning a multiple of 36x P/E in FY20E.

Base

32x Base Case FY20E EPS

INR 11,856 Assuming lower revenue growth in the SIP and CPD divisions at 20% and 19% respectively, we expect

Borosil to generate an EPS of INR 371 in FY20E. Assigning a multiple of 32x P/E in FY20E.

Bear

26x Bear Case FY20E EPS

INR 9,186 Assuming even lower revenue growth in the SIP and CPD divisions at 15% and 17% respectively, we

Nature of Industry

The automation in pharmaceutical – R&D, education and health segments have led to increasing tests and analysis volumes resulting in

an exponential increase in the requirement for labware glass products. Also, multifactor opportunities are driving the demand for

consumer-ware glass products. We expect this structural advantage to prolong for a few more years.

Opportunity Size

The target market for the entire product basket of Borosil’s CPD division/SIP division is pegged at ~INR 2,220cr/INR 4,870cr, respectively.

Capital Allocation

The company envisages engaging in a two-stage capex for Gujarat Borosil. In the first stage, the INR40-50cr spend for the

manufacturing process will arise from internal accruals; and in second stage, the capacity increase from 1.2GW to 2.3GW will be funded

(capex of INR 250cr) through mix of debt and equity.

Predictability

The growth in consumer-ware segments and transition from plastic/steel to glass table ware and storage segments is difficult to predict.

Also, it is tough to gauge the opportunity size for entry into the export/international lab ware market as well as competition with global

players such as Bormioli, SGD Pharma and Gerresheimer.

Sustainability

The largest player in the domestic lab ware market and expansion in pharmaceutical packaging and lab instruments will continue the

growth in the scientific ware division. Also, the strong brand in microwavable and storage consumer goods along with Larah brand in

tableware will boost growth momentum in the consumer business.

Disproportionate Future

The focus on consumer business on the strong base of inorganic growth, backward integration of scientific ware business and exit from

non-core assets/investments, will likely ensure that the future performance in terms of earnings growth and return ratios will be better

versus the past as asset turnover and margins should improve.

Business Strategy &

Planned Initiatives Current focus is ramp up in utilization of acquired entities, distribution channels and market penetration.

Near Term Visibility

Strong visibility of 32% CAGR bottomline growth (including one-off income) along with 520 bp improvement in operating margin from

FY17-FY20E.

Long Term Visibility

To remain one of the biggest glass consumer-ware and scientific-ware players alongside being a dominant solar glass producer with a

big opportunity in the solar power sector.

Borosil’s CPD division – Opportunity ahead

Source: Company, Edelweiss Investment Research

Storage products: Growth driver

The company has three key focus product businesses – microwavables, storage

and opalware. The storage product business has attained meaningful sales in

the last three years and is expected to double in the next couple of years. We

foresee a huge opportunity for the glass storage business if we consider the steel

and plastic storage market, which is around INR 5,000cr, and of this, around 20%

is the organised market. Thus, even if we consider the opportunity size of merely

the organised segment, i.e. the INR 1,000cr opportunity, this is by itself a huge

one for Borosil. The company is adopting measures such as increasing

distribution channels, creating more health awareness compaigns, focusing on

product development (i.e. using scientific glass for CPD storage products which

is comparatively tougher), increasing presence in the e-commerce space

(currently merely 6% of sales and has a target to reach 20%) and also started

own web store.

Inorganic growth and expansion

Hopewell acquisition (Larah brand)

On January 29, 2016, the company acquired 100% equity share in Hopewell

Tableware Pvt Ltd. (Hopewell), marketing its products under the brand ‘Larah’.

Hopewell Tableware Pvt. Ltd. was established in CY10 as a joint venture

between Mr. Swapan Guha (recipient of the Padma Shree award for his

contribution to the ceramic industry) and Shri Prem Singh Bajor. With Larah, the

company has gained entry into the fast growing opalware market in India

under which it sells microwavable, light, strong, chip resistant opal dinnerware.

The size of the organised opalware market in India, of more than INR

400cr (excluding ~INR 700cr/INR 1,000cr of Bone china/Steel market) , is

dominated by La Opala with revenue of INR 250cr; and the company

foresees an opportunity for a second player to come in and grow this

category by investing and growing Larah into a strong brand, the target

being customers with daily usage needs.

In FY17, Larah recorded revenue of INR 87cr (near double since its

acquisition) and EBITDA was around INR 1cr. The EBITDA was lower due to

INR 11cr expenses towards investments in advertisement and sales

promotion (compared with ~INR 2cr in FY16), INR 5cr towards one-time

claims and write‐offs pertaining to the period prior to acquisition and

~INR 4cr write-down of stock valuation due to increase in production

efficiency. The operating margin has improved to ~18% for FY17

excluding one-off expeneses.

The company’s strong pan-India distribution network, geographic

presence and channel loyalty will lead to scale the consumer business

and due to this sales and distribution synergy, a higher throughput and

significant margin improvement is expected. The company also has

plans to expand capacity with a new furnace and other machinery by

H2FY18 with capex ~ INR 55cr. This measure is expected to enhance sales

by 50% with yield improvement and reduction in wastage. Further, the

company has plans to create additional warehouse space, which will

optimize truck utilization by combining Larah and other Borosil products.

After acquisition, Borosil has reduced the price differential between

Larah and the competitor from a 30% discount to 10%. The long term

objective of the opalware business is to record INR 1,000cr sales

CPD – Sales through major modern trade partners

The company conducts sales through all major modern trade channel partners

viz. Big Bazaar, D-Mart, Reliance Retail, Walmart, Metro, Lifestyle, HyperCity etc.

and some institutional customers such as Samsung, LG, Whirlpool etc who

undertake cross promotional sales along with Borosil’s product range. Sales

through this channel account for ~30% of CPD sales.

Borosil also sells its products through various E-commerce platforms like its own

Website, Flipkart, Amazon etc. Sales through E-commerce platforms account for

~ 6% of CPD sales and target to reach 20%.

The consumer division has a distribution network of 200 dealers and 10,000

retailers comparable with 200 distributors and ~12,000 retailers for La Opala.

And is expected to increase its reach to ~12,000 retailers and has plans to

increase large format sales in the forthcoming years.

Anti-dumping duty to help gain market share

The Indian government has imposed anti-dumping duty on Chinese

porcelain and other ceramic-ware including bone China. This measure

will help Borosil to increase sales of opal glassware as the price points of

Chinese porcelain and bone China will increase, which will likely move

customer sentiment in favour of opalware.

The anti-dumping duty announced in 2011 for a period of five years was

extended by a year and is now valid until August 2017. The management

is hopeful that this duty will be extended for another four years. This

notwithstanding, Borosil is yet confident of surviving in the absence of

such a duty owing to its robust distributor and retailer network apart from

strong brand recall.

Inorganic growth – Klasspack acquisition

Borosil has acquied Klasspack Ltd. to enter the pharma packaging (tubular

glass) market which is pegged at ~INR 500cr. Klasspack Ltd has a market share

of ~6% currently and this is expected to increase in the forthcoming year.

The The company acquired 60.3% equity shares in Klasspack Pvt Ltd., a Nasik

based supplier of glass ampoules and tubular glass vials. Hitherto Borosil was

marketing lab glassware to pharmaceutical companies for their research labs

and quality control lab requirements. It complements Borosil’s analytical vials’

range and currently, there being only one strong player viz. Schott Kaisha

operating in this segment, and the product being a raw material for the pharma

Industry, it provides its pharmaceutical customers, a credible second alternative

for their packaging needs. The revenues in FY16 were INR 28cr and for August

16-Mar’17 was INR 20.5cr with EBITDA of INR 2.6cr. The company expects a lead

time of 6-12 months to convert a customer to a purchaser in this segment

because the Customers undertake a lot of testing and certification so that it

adheres to stringent quality benchmarks. The company is dealing with all

leading players in the Pharma Index viz. Cipla, Mylan, Lupin, Ranbaxy etc. for its

product range.

IV. GST implementation could support organized players

Implementation of GST will support organized players enabling them to

gain market share. To this end the company has plans to spend INR 20cr to

build a new warehouse in Jaipur to cater to its north India business in CPD.

The warehouse expansion will help optimize logistics and will also aid Borosil

to reduce the amount of stocks which need to be kept in different

locations. Borosil’s products come under the 18% GST category; and

consumers shifting from the unorganised to the organised will benefit

Borosil particularly in the CPD business.

V. Restructuring of business to bring synergies, whilst monetization

of non-core assets should uplift RoCE

In order to restructure the business and reduce cross holdings, the company has

proposed to merge the acquired company – Hopewell, Vyline Glass Works Ltd

(this is a promoter company, that conducts third party manufacturing for Borosil),

and Fennel Investments & Finance Pvt Ltd . The restructuring would reduce related

party transactions, reduce cross holdings, introduce cost synergies and simplify the

structure. Further, the company has started monetizing its non-core assets, that

coupled with the earnings upmove will likely uplift RoCE.

Exit from non-core business

The company has reported a one off gain of ~INR 90.9cr in FY17 from sale of non-

core assets. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has acquired land

from Borosil. This was surplus land, which the company had on its books and this

has been a part of Borosil’s strategy to reduce the number of non-core assets in its

books and generate cash, which can then be used for its business activity.

The company has proposed a draft scheme of merger with its related companies

as advised by PwC, the valuation was done by SSPA & Co. and the valuation

report was prepared by Keynote Corporate Services Pvt Ltd.

• Hopewell Tableware: A 100% subsidiary in the consumer products business.

• Vyline Glass Works Ltd, a promoter held company and 3P (Production,

Preparation and Process) manufacturing company producing SIP and CPD

products solely for Borosil. Out of total purchases of INR 130cr for Borosil,

purchases from Vyline amounted to INR 76.2cr.

• Fennel Investments, an associate company with cross holdings.

Rationale for the transaction are:

• Reduction in related party transactions

• Reduction in legal and regulatory compliances

• Reduction in cross holding and simplicity of structure

• Synergies of business under a single entity by reduction in

administration, operational and marketing costs, greater administrative

efficiency and optimum utilization of resources.

• IND AS framework

As per our calculations, shareholders will lose ~3% effective share in Borsosil,

while gaining 25.4% effective share in Vyline Glass Works, ~12.4% effective

share in its associate company, Fennel Investments, and ~3.35% effective

share in its subsidiary, Gujarat Borosil. We expect the merger swap ratios to

be beneficial for the shareholders of Borosil Glass Works.

Liquidating non-core assets

• The company surrendered a vacant land admeasuring 4,237 sq mt in Andheri

(East), Mumbai upon reservation by MCGM in their development plan for a

recreation ground against compensation of INR 94.44cr out of which it is

required to pay to MCGM INR 3.56cr towards expenses. The company

accounted for an after tax extraordinary gain of INR 87.1cr for this transaction.

• The company is also reducing its non-core non-trade investments.

The company utilized the cash flow generated from this sale to fund its inorganic

expansion by acquiring 100% equity shares in Hopewell Tableware Pvt Ltd. worth

INR 27.13cr and 6% optionally convertible non-cummulative redeemable

preference shares in Hopewell for INR 22cr.

Land sold in FY11; Plans to sell its flat in Samundra Mahal

VIII. Gujarat Borosil Ltd (GBL) – Solar energy play

GBL is engaged in low iron solar glass production for application in the solar power

sector. Solar Photovoltaic market has faced tough times internationally in view of

the extraordinary capacity increase in China since 2011, resulting in an

international market crash. In India, the present Central Government has given

enormous momentum for the use of solar power. The objective of achieving 100

GW of solar energy is now proposed to be realized by 2022.

Gujarat Borosil will become a 58% subsidiary after the scheme of amalgamation.

Gujarat Borosil has also posted healthy results in the previous year with an EBITDA

margin of ~22% on net sales of INR 183cr. We foresee big momentum for solar

energy in India and the Union Budget has reduced customs duty on solar glass,

but has increased the countervailing duty (CVD), As a consequence, Gujarat

Borosil benefits as it will get input tax credits. Previously, Gujarat Borosil had an

inverted tax structure, which restricted the company from getting the credit of

input taxes. Now, since Gujarat Borosil is able to get tax credits, the profitability of

the company per year will improve by about INR 3.5cr.

GBL is the only producer of solar glass in the country and it is constantly evaluating

growth in this sector in the domestic market to remain a dominant player. Its

natural advantage of offering a shorter lead time is helping it to secure business.

With patterned glass in exclusive designs being an attractive product, it is adding

newer applications in the architectural glass segment and expects to continue to

grow in niche segments.

In solar glass production,there are two parts to the manufacturing process – first, to

melt the raw material and make flat glass; and second, to make the glass tough

i.e. to strengthen it by heating and coating it with an anti-reflective coating. GBL’s

toughening capacity was not commensurate with its manufacturing capacity. So,

GBL is allocating INR 60cr as the initial capex to H1FY18 to increase the

downstream toughening capacity to cater to the entire production. This is

expected to improve yields and add ~15% to 17% to revenue in FY18. The other

initiative is to reduce the average thickness of solar glass to 2mm from the current

3.2mm without sacrificing product quality or efficiency. So, this is expected to

increase business volume and enhance profitability. The total capex will be ~INR

225cr.

Competitive advantages (format)

• Market leadership in Indian solar glass market

− Cost competitive with China’s supplies

• Preferred brand of high quality solar glass

− Lowest iron content, world’s only antimony-free glass

− Anti-reflective coating

− Superior light transmission and highest glass efficiency

− High resistance to potentially induced degradation

• State-of-the-art manufacturing with strong testing and R&D

infrastructure

− High degree of product innovation to drive down total cost of

ownership for end customers

− Implementing a facility for tempering thinner glass that has growing

domestic and international demand

• Filed for anti-dumping duty; the investigation is currently ongoing.

Valuation and peer comparisions

We expect healthy growth in operating cash flows with improvement in margins across businesses. We expect 20% CAGR in revenue over FY17-20E and 520bps

improvement in margin to result in 32% earnings CAGR over FY17-20E. We believe that the current level is attractive for the medium to long term investment

horizon with the prospect of sales growth and RoCE improvement. At CMP of INR 8,802, the stock is currently trading at 32x FY18E EPS of INR 272, 28x FY19E EPS of

INR 311 and 24x FY20E EPS of INR 371. We have done sum-of-the-parts valuations to value the company, we have arrived at a target price of INR 11,856 by

assigning 35x/25x/20x FY20E earnings to the CPD/SIP/Gujarat Borosil businesses, respectively, resulting a 32x P/E multiple to Borosil’s consolidated FY20E EPS of INR

371. We have valued Borosil’s SIP business at 25x FY20E earnings, versus global peers that are trading at an average of 20x to 25x forward earnings. Given the

huge opportunity in the Indian pharmacetical labware, glass instrument and primary packaging segments and Borosil’s positioning as one of the largest players;

with the improvement in return rations on account of lower requirement of capital employed and further improvement in margins (owing to expansion in product

mix) we believe assigning 25x the forward multiple will be a fair multiple. Similarly, we have valued Borosil’s CPD business at 35x FY20E earnings, versus its domestic

peers that are trading at an average of 33x to 35x forward earnings.

Key Risks

• Failure of acquisition – Not able to exploit the “Borosil” brand, distribution reach and innovation.

• Unfavorable government policies could affect sectoral growth: India imposed an anti-dumping duty on the import from China and UAE for five years,

effective from August 2011. Any reversal or non-continuation of the same by the Government of India may negatively impact the profitability of the

company.

• Rising competition from organised players e.g. CELLO and unorganised players. The tableware industry is dominated by small unorganised players. Though,

Indian consumers are gravitating towards the organised segment that offers branded products, any increase in the competitive intensity from the

unorganised segment may be detrimental for the company.

Financial Analysis

Healthy revenue growth driven from consumer business

Borosil’s revenue is expected to clock CAGR of 20% over FY17-20E driven primarily

by the consumer-ware division with the acquisition of Hopewell (Larah) -

improvement in utilization, introduction of new products and investment in brands.

Also, the scientific and industrial products division is expected to grow at 20%

CAGR over FY17-20E with entry into the new market of pharma packaging post

acquisition of Klasspack as well as organic revenue growth of ~16%. This division

continues to favour the educational sector by reaching more and more schools in

India for product promotions and has set an ambitious target of approaching

1,500 schools in the near future.

Source: Company, Edelweiss Investment Research

Improvement in product mix & backward integration will boost operating margin

Borosil’s operating margin is estimated to improve to 15.9% in FY20E from 10.7% in

FY17 on account of a change in product mix towards consumer-ware and

consolidation of Vyline Glass Works to backward integrate its SIP division.

Source: Company, Edelweiss Investment Research

PAT and PAT margin to improve substantially

The capex requirement in forthcoming years would be lower; greater

emphasis would be placed on capacity utilization, product mix and

market penetration while depreciation costs are expected to remain

range-bound, and debt is likely to remain at a lower level; consequently,

this scenario should result in finance costs being constant ahead. It is

envisaged that this will likely result in PAT (excluding one off) CAGR of 32%

over FY17-20E.

Maintain lower debt to equity

Borosil’s debt to equity stood at ~.07x as the company completed acquisitions

with internal accruals from sale of non-core assets. Ergo, we envisage significant

free cash flow generation, which will be available for growing the business further

and also without major borrowings. This should result in a debt to equity of merely

0.05x in FY20E.

Return ratios to improve

With margin improvement, parameters such as profitability along with asset

turnover on account of efficient capital allocation, should aid RoE and RoCE

improvement.

Healthy cash flow from operations

Borosil is estimated to generate healthy cash flow from operations in the

coming years led by robust operational performance.
