In 2001 EIL experienced the ever-intense turmoil when the Etex Group of Belgium decided to quit their Indianoperation and leave Eternit Everest (EIL’S earlier name) in a vein and lurch with an uncertain future. The Etex Groupbeing a European Multinational had to follow the guidelines of the European community regulations. The Europeancommunity had imposed ban on usage of Asbestos and products made of it.

By quitting the Indian operation the Etex would have come out of Asbestos Business completely. Thus Etex Groupwas given the deadline by Belgian Government to be out of Asbestos business by 1st January 2002.

The pioneer and the price premium company was up for sale. The news spread led to obvious aggression from thecompetition which took full advantage of the situation by not merely capturing the Everest Market to their fold, butalso pretended as potential buyers and visited all the plants, locations and collected the all the marketing data fortheir use and benefit.

Everest Industries – Rise from the ashes !!

also pretended as potential buyers and visited all the plants, locations and collected the all the marketing data fortheir use and benefit.

At the time of Etex exit, the situation was worst possible. The future of the Company was uncertain and in deepturmoil.

ACC Take over

ACC right from the inception had 26 % stake in EIL. This was increased to 76% in February, 2002 by acquiring /buying out Etex Group Share Holding.

Thus, EIL became the subsidiary of ACC and Mr. M.L. Gupta, Resident Director cum corporate advisor ACC, took overas Managing Director, replacing Mr. A.K. Batra.

Building products division

Roofing – This includes asbestos roofing (this is the main business of the company, it is manufactured at all 5facilities of EIL), non-asbestos roofing (EIL entered this segment through a tie up with Saint Gobain in order to offerthe whole range of products, non-asbestos roofing is about 75% more costly than asbestos roofing), metal roofing(manufactured at Bhagwanpur) and polycarbonate roofing (trading operations).

In FY09, EIL increased its roofing capacity at the Bhagwanpur plant. The total capacity increased from 4,55,000tonnes to 7,10,000 tonnes. Essentially, each of the five facilities has one line for the production of asbestos sheetsexcept for Coimbatore, which has two lines.

Presence across five facilities in India provides EIL with a logistics advantage, as asbestos sheets are bulky anddifficult to transport over long distances. Further closeness to the retail markets is one pre requisite for the industry.Spread of manufacturing locations along with 6000 retail points spread across the country provides an advantage toSpread of manufacturing locations along with 6000 retail points spread across the country provides an advantage toEIL.

Boards and Panels – EIL also manufactures various boards and panels that find application in housing, false ceiling,partitioning, interiors etc. EIL is the second largest player in the false ceiling segment, the first being India Gypsum.The boards include cement boards (manufactured at Nashik (2 lines) and Bhagwanpur (1 line) with a total capacityof about 1.34 lakh tonnes per annum).

Close to 50% of the production is exported to countries like Sri Lanka, Africa, Europe while the rest is sold in thedomestic market. The solid wall panels (used for internal partitions) are also manufactured at Nashik andBhagwanpur, with one line at each location and a capacity of about 200,000 panels per plant per annum (totalcapacity of ~400,000 panels p.a.)

There are estimated 25 crore buildings in India. Of these, 46% are considered to have pucca roofs. The rest 54% aremade of thatch (temporary kuchcha roofing) and clay tiles. Amongst pucca buildings, less than half have RCC slabs.Majority are made with ready-to-use roofing products which include Fibre Cement Roofing and metal roofing. Akuccha roof owner has aspirations, seeks security and desires to graduate to a pucca roof.

The cost of a pucca roof using Fibre Cement Roofing is 1/3rd the cost of an RCC ceiling slab. The market for FibreCement Roofing today is estimated to be Rs 3,500 crores and for metal roofing Rs 3,600 crores.

The demand for Fibre Cement Roofing during FY 2011 was lower than the normal growth rate trend on account oferratic monsoon, delays in housing starts and CAPEX decisions. This year FY 2012 has seen an increase inagricultural production, good crop prices and a buoyant rural economy, which is likely to boost volume growth, tomaintain the past trend of CAGR 14%.

Boards & Panels – In the backdrop of rising concerns for green house gas emissions and depleting fossil fuels, theconcept of green buildings is gaining momentum in India. Trade acceptance for Fibre Cement Boards as a substitutefor plywood and gypsum boards is growing.

Increasingly, Fibre Cement Boards and panels are being recommended by architects, interior decorators andcontractors due to energy efficient parameters, high strength, dimensional stability and resistance against termiteand moisture.

The Indian boards industry is highly fragmented. Today, at Rs 5000 crores, the wood based product industryThe Indian boards industry is highly fragmented. Today, at Rs 5000 crores, the wood based product industrydominates the market.

The usage of other kind of boards in India is yet at a very nascent stage - Fibre Cement Boards (Rs 225 crores),Gypsum Boards (Rs 530 crores) and Calcium Silicate (Rs 50 crores). However, it is growing rapidly with newproduct variants being introduced.

There are four major players in the Fibre Cement Boards industry, and Everest is a major player.

Asbestos and misconceptions

A writ petition was filed in the Honorable Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India in 2004 byKalyaneshwari (a registered society) to immediately ban all use of asbestos in any manner whatsoever due toharmful effect of asbestos.

In its landmark judgment, the Honorable Supreme Court observed:

1. There is no law enacted so far which requires banning of any activity in regard to asbestos at any stage ofmining, manufacturing or production. Any such activity wherever being carried out, is in accordance withspecified parameters.

2. Every factory engaged in the manufacturing of asbestos based products obtains clearance under the existing

2. Every factory engaged in the manufacturing of asbestos based products obtains clearance under the existingEnvironment Policy and activities are carried out in accordance with the law without endangering the lives ofpeople.

3. The court observed that this was instituted at the behest of rival industrial group which was interested inbanning of the manufacturing of asbestos based product. A definite attempt was made to secure a ban onthese activities with the ultimate intention of increasing the cast and ductile iron products market. Thus, it waslitigation initiated with ulterior motive of causing industrial imbalance and financial loss to the asbestosproduct industry.

The court also dismissed the petition and imposed penalties on the petitioner.

Pre Engineered buildings – Industry Overview

The growth in Pre-engineered building industry was over 20% in FY 2011. Today, more Architects and StructuralConsultants are recommending Pre-engineered buildings for their projects. The main benefits are as follows:

• Erection of a strong long-lasting building with minimal on-site work and accelerated speed of construction ascompared to conventional structures.

• A Pre-engineered building is at least 50% faster than a conventional building.

Growth Drivers

Infrastructure projects such as airports, cargo hubs, schools, metro rails (such as DMRC, Bangalore Metro, ChennaiMetro), Indian Railways, power plants and power plants equipment manufacturers are increasingly using thesebuildings. Traditional industrial sectors like pharma, automobile engineering, FMCG industry are also increasingbuildings. Traditional industrial sectors like pharma, automobile engineering, FMCG industry are also increasingcapacity. These high-growth segments will boost the demand for Pre-engineered buildings in coming years.

The growth in warehousing and cold storage industry has a positive impact on PEB industry. Warehousing accountsfor 20% of the Indian logistics industry and has grown at a rate of 35%. India spends 15%-20% of its GDP on logistics.This is much higher as compared with an average of 8%-10% in other developing countries with betterinfrastructure. Public and private sector companies are now investing in better logistics support to reduce costs.This will generate further demand for Pre-engineered buildings.

The PEB sector is growing at 20% due to strong demand from industrial and infrastructure sectors and fromtraditional users of RCC/structural steel buildings who are now converting to modern technologies like PEB. Theemergence of new segments, logistics industry and Power plants will add to the demand of PEBs

Concerns

www.katalystwealth.com

Page 34: Everest industries ltd (NSE Code Everestind) - Oct'11 Katalyst Wealth's Alpha Reco

• Increase in raw material prices: The main raw materials for fibre cement products are cement, pulp, fly ash andimported fibres. Any hike in prices of cement or fibre may have adverse impact on the margin of the company.Steel is the major raw material of PEB segment, hence volatility in global steel prices will also affect marginaccordingly.

• Delay in projects: Prospects of Pre – engineered steel building industry is largely dependent on the economy andindustrial activities. Any slowdown in capex cycle may have adverse impact on the order book of the company,which may bring down the utilization of the plant and thus margins will come under pressure.

• High competition: In India there are 17 players in roofing industry and EIL has a 14% market share evenly spreadacross the nation. There are lots of new capacities entering into the market to take advantage of growing

Concerns

across the nation. There are lots of new capacities entering into the market to take advantage of growingdemand, hence excess supply may bring down the pricing power currently being enjoyed by recognized players.

• Government spending and monsoon effect: Rural schemes like NREGs, Indira Awas Yojna, Rajiv Awas Yojna etc.play a vital role for the business of Everest Industries. Any change or decrease in spending by the government onthese schemes could reduce the purchasing power of rural people. A poor monsoon could also have adverseeffect on the demand for roofing in rural India.

• Seasonality factor: Since EIL’s building product business is largely driven by sales in rural India it is seasonal innature (impacted by Kharif and Rabi crop cycles) and hence the March and June quarters are generally betterthan the rest of the year. However, entry into the steel building segment should help to smoothen sales to acertain extent.
