Bajaj Electricals (BJE) is on the cusp of a rerating Our channel checks suggest that implementation of TOC (Theory of Constraints, started two years ago) and RREP (Range and Reach Expansion Program, began a year ago) have started yielding rapid results now. Increasing touch points and product mix under RREP is resulting in improving revenue visibility and margin improvement. Tight control on working capital and channel financing under TOC is resulting in lower working capital needs. BJE’s WC days to fall to 53 by FY19; will lead FCF of Rs 6bn over FY17-19 highest in the last seven years. RoE/RoCE improving to 19%/25% by FY19 from 13%/17% in FY16. What BJE did over the last few years: Its TOC and RREP implementation involved increasing touch points and counters, improving inventory and stocking management, product reach, and increasing SKUs, and reducing working capital needs. It also set out to recreate its brand to ride a revival in the consumer segment plans to increase its advertising spend to 2.5% of sales by FY19 vs. 1.9% in FY16. In E&P, it became more selective about projects, and increased execution. It also improved margins and reduced WC through lower inventory. The results of the changes (PC estimates): Consumer Durables (CD, 70% of sales) will start showing growth (10%/13% in FY18/19) based on growing touch points and product reach. E&P (30% of sales) is out from slow-moving projects and is seeing better execution and project selection; should see 8%/10% growth in FY18/19, backed by healthy order book (Rs 18.5bn in FY17). Margins will improve by 145bps over the next two years (majorly driven by CD) and profits will double (30% CAGR in FY17‐19). Improvement in business mix will ease working capital requirements to 53 days from 75 days in FY16. Free cash will help pay off debt in 3‐4 years. RoE/ROCE will improve dramatically. How is TOC helping: At the beginning of implementation, BJE lost market share in CD, but has now applied TOC in most of its markets. This helped it to increase touch points (retail counters), which resulted in more visibility and availability of its products. We expect this visibility to aid BJE in recovering its market share and in sales picking up from FY18. Outlook and valuation Historically, BJE has traded at a significant discount to its peers, and rightly so, due to lower margins in CD and value destruction in E&P due to losses. However, over the next two years, we expect the valuation gap between BJE and its peers to narrow as: (1) TOC yields results, (2) BJE focuses on leveraging distribution network through geographical and product expansion, (3) there is strong revenue visibility, with levers for margin expansion, (4) working capital could improve because of TOC and as BJE adopts channel financing, resulting in an FCF generation of Rs 6bn over FY17‐19 (highest in the last seven years), and (5) improving return ratios. Consequently, we have revised our FY18/19 earnings estimates by 4%/6%. Current stock price implies a 20x PE for BJE’s CD segment and 6x EV/EBITDA on our FY19 estimates. We assign a FY19 target PE of 26x to BJE’s CD segment earnings (72% of FY19 PAT) to get a per share value of Rs 390. We expect measures taken by the company to lead to robust cash flow generation; improvement in the return profile will spur a rerating. Our multiple is at a 35% discount to the industry average. We value its E&P segment on EV/EBITDA at 7x FY19 vs. industry average of 10x to arrive at a per share value of Rs 60. We revise our target price (SOTP) to Rs 450 (Rs 300 earlier) implying 29% upside.

TOC and RREP are coming into play – rerating soon

INDIA | MIDCAP - ELECTRICALS | Company Update

Why read this report?

Bajaj Electricals (BJE) is on the cusp of a rerating

Our channel checks suggest that implementation of TOC (Theory of Constraints, started two years ago) and RREP (Range and Reach Expansion Program, began a year ago) have started yielding rapid results now.

Increasing touch points and product mix under RREP is resulting in improving revenue visibility and margin improvement.

Tight control on working capital and channel financing under TOC is resulting in lower working capital needs. BJE’s WC days to fall to 53 by FY19; will lead FCF of Rs 6bn over FY17-19 – highest in the last seven years.

RoE/RoCE improving to 19%/25% by FY19 from 13%/17% in FY16.

What BJE did over the last few years: Its TOC and RREP implementation involved increasing touch points and counters, improving inventory and stocking management, product reach, and increasing SKUs, and reducing working capital needs. It also set out to recreate its brand to ride a revival in the consumer segment – plans to increase its advertising spend to 2.5% of sales by FY19 vs. 1.9% in FY16. In E&P, it became more selective about projects, and increased execution. It also improved margins and reduced WC through lower inventory.

The results of the changes (PC estimates): Consumer Durables (CD, 70% of sales) will start showing growth (10%/13% in FY18/19) based on growing touch points and product reach. E&P (30% of sales) is out from slow-moving projects and is seeing better execution and project selection; should see 8%/10% growth in FY18/19, backed by healthy order book (Rs 18.5bn in FY17). Margins will improve by 145bps over the next two years (majorly driven by CD) and profits will double (30% CAGR in FY17‐19). Improvement in business mix will ease working capital requirements to 53 days from 75 days in FY16. Free cash will help pay off debt in 3‐4 years. RoE/ROCE will improve dramatically.

How is TOC helping: At the beginning of implementation, BJE lost market share in CD, but has now applied TOC in most of its markets. This helped it to increase touch points (retail counters), which resulted in more visibility and availability of its products. We expect this visibility to aid BJE in recovering its market share and in sales picking up from FY18.

Outlook and valuation Historically, BJE has traded at a significant discount to its peers, and rightly so, due to lower margins in CD and value destruction in E&P due to losses. However, over the next two years, we expect the valuation gap between BJE and its peers to narrow as: (1) TOC yields results, (2) BJE focuses on leveraging distribution network through geographical and product expansion, (3) there is strong revenue visibility, with levers for margin expansion, (4) working capital could improve because of TOC and as BJE adopts channel financing, resulting in an FCF generation of Rs 6bn over FY17‐19 (highest in the last seven years), and (5) improving return ratios. Consequently, we have revised our FY18/19 earnings estimates by 4%/6%.

Current stock price implies a 20x PE for BJE’s CD segment and 6x EV/EBITDA on our FY19 estimates. We assign a FY19 target PE of 26x to BJE’s CD segment earnings (72% of FY19 PAT) to get a per share value of Rs 390. We expect measures taken by the company to lead to robust cash flow generation; improvement in the return profile will spur a rerating. Our multiple is at a 35% discount to the industry average. We value its E&P segment on EV/EBITDA at 7x FY19 vs. industry average of 10x to arrive at a per share value of Rs 60.

Implementing RREP successfully In its initial stages, implementation of its RREP resulted in lower sales or some market share loss in some CD products. So far, its RREP has covered ~45% of its addressable market. Management expects cross-country RREP implementation to be complete by the end of FY18 (has covered 99 districts so far, will cover 111 in FY18). It has covered Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Rajasthan (some parts), and all major metros. In areas where BJE has implemented TOC, its primary sales have started picking up – according to our channel checks. This program is helping the company to increase its touch points (retail counters) with more products/SKU’s availability. This has resulted in more visibility and availability of BJE products and is also helping it to recover its market share. We expect primary sales to pick up from FY18; see a growth of 10%/13% in FY18/19 from its CD business (lighting + consumer durables).

A better distribution network Under TOC, BJE has modified its traditional distribution network to avoid a price war between channel partners and to reduce channel stuffing (inventory blocking by channel partners). It has removed wholesalers from the channel, and now supplies directly to dealers and retailers. Initially, this step resulted in lower sales (as wholesalers moved out from the channel) and some loss in market share. But now this move is helping BJE to: (1) increase its touch points/counters (focusing on increasing reach), (2) control inventory (working capital) and pricing, and (3) achieve growth and health margins.

Margins to rise

The visibility of its products and its margins have both improved due to coverage (touch points) in RREP implemented areas and better availability of SUKs with uniform pricing policy across dealers and distributors. This has started showing in BJE’s performance in 3QFY17 (lighting + consumer durables) – margin improvement of 134bps yoy and 438bps qoq. We expect a further improvement of 150bps over the next two years as coverage and product mix improves.

Polishing the Bajaj brand Bajaj is one of the oldest brands in consumer durables with about 100,000 touch points. During the last two years, BJE has lost market share (due to implementation of TOC) especially in some products such as fans, but was able to maintain its market share in some others such as irons, water heaters, and mixers. It has a strong pan-India presence and is now focusing on increasing its touch points (retail counters) and aggressively increasing advertising spend and activity. We except it to increase its brand equity and to regain its lost market share in the next 1-2 years.

No more price wars The company is verifying bulk (institutional) order placed by dealers (to get a better price), and directly supplying to customers (to minimise sham orders – a practice by some channel partners to get bulk discounts). Has kept uniform price (RLP – retail landing price) for all its channel partners.

BJE is improving its product mix by pushing and selling more premium products in new and existing channels

E&P: Slow and steady improvement Selection of the projects and increased execution has resulted in improving profitability in this segment. BJE has implemented TOC for its project execution business to improve supply chain and execution capabilities. To ensure that fixed costs are covered and to protect margins, it is selective about picking up orders – which resulted in 66% lower order intake in FY16. However, this will result in margin improvement of 174bps over FY17-19. TOC has speeded up project execution substantially (some projects before time, six projects completed until 9MFY17), which will help BJE to improve its margins in this segment and to gain healthy orders.

It’s all about working capital management Under TOC, BJE is focusing on effective management of its working-capital cycle. In FY16, BJE’s WC cycle was 75 days (PC estimates: 68 days for CD, 130 days for E&P). With the implementation of TOC, BJE is reducing the working capital requirement for both its businesses. We expect BJE’s working-capital cycle to come down to 61/53 days in FY18/19. CD: With TOC, dealer inventory down to 1 month from 2-3 months earlier

This means lower inventory at both dealer and company levels. Additionally, BJE has also started channel financing for its dealers, which will help in faster rotation of the working-capital cycle. We expect CD cycle (days) to improve to 49 by FY19 from 68 in FY16. Peer companies who provide channel financing are operating at 20-40 days.

Working capital cycle of peer companies using channel financing

E&P: We expect working capital cycle to go below 110 days by FY19

This is a high working-capital intensive business, with a cycle of about 130 days (PC estimate). In Illumination (21% of E&P), BJE has stopped maintaining inventory at regional branches (earlier used to keep inventory of ~45 days) and now supplies based on orders. Additionally, due to project selection and timely execution, working capital requirement in this segment will fall.

BJE: Working capital cycle to reduce to 53 days BJE: Cash from operations and free cash flows

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Estimates

Improved FCF generation and return ratios BJE currently has a debt of Rs 7.2bn. With increasing touch points, product mix, and strong working capital management by company, we expect an FCF of Rs 4bn in the next two years – therefore, BJE should be able to pay off its debt (term loans) in the next 3‐4 years. With the implementation of channel financing for its consumer business (70% of revenue), working capital could fall to as low as 44 days (we estimate 53 days in FY19) and result in higher FCF. BJE has further scope for improving its WC cycle, as channel financing comes in (applicable to all its dealers). This can help it to reduce its working capital to below 20days. Increasing touch points in the consumer segment (~70% of sales) with dealer touch points increased to 2x, and improving product mix, will add to higher FCF generation.

DuPont analysis reveals rerating triggers Over FY09‐15 BJE’s ROE fell into negative territory from 36%, mainly due lower

profitability in both business verticals. BJE reported net margin of 5.1% in FY09, which reduced to 0% in FY15. Also, with lower total asset‐turnover (3.8x in FY09, 2.9x in FY15), ROEs declined.

In FY15, BJE started implementing TOC and RREP. In FY16, BJE reported PAT margin of 2.1% and asset turnover of 3x. It moved towards higher total asset‐turnover of 3x+ because of better business (revenue visibility – increase product reach) and product mix (product availability) and improvement in margin profile (uniform pricing). We, expect this will continue with total asset‐turnover above 3x and net profit margin of more than 2.5%.

RoE will improve due to (1) improving margin and lower working capital requirements (channel financing), and (2) improving distribution with not much capex – this could lead to much better RoE, which will enable it to command richer valuations.

Opportunities – expansion of the dealer network in retail, new healthy orders in E&P.

While ramp up in sales would be gradual over 10‐12 months, we believe there are significant opportunities to increase the channel and for asset sweating.

ROE and ROCE should improve based on: (1) better channel sweating, (2) improvement in margins, (3) higher free-cash generation leading to reduction in debt, and (4) better working capital management. We expect ROE of 13.4%/ 17.0%/ 19.4% in FY17/18/19 and RoCE of 17.4%/21.5%/25.1%.

+ Improving margin + Improving asset turnover ‐ Lower leverage multiplier = Higher return ratios

Some other takeaways from channel checks

RREP covers 50% of BJE’s market

For example, touch points have increased sharply for the dealers we touched base with (now supplies to 200 counters vs. 70 earlier)

Strong inventory management: If a dealer has a capacity of Rs 150mn monthly sales (selling 100 units daily), and if that dealer’s inventory count comes down to 99, a system will automatically generate a bill and complete the inventory. This will result in lower working capital requirement for both the dealer and inventory

The RREP program is not applicable for seasonal products such as room heaters (about a month of sales) and water coolers (2 months)

BJE has increased prices by 4% in April 2017 in consumer products

Others players in the industry (CG, Usha, havells) have started following BJE’s “Go to Market strategy”

With a strong brand Bajaj, its products are accepted well in the market

BJE is recreating its brand through heavy advertisement

Outlook and valuation: Gap with peers to narrow In the backdrop of its operational strengths and improving financials, we believe that the valuation gap between BJE and its peers in the consumer durable industry will narrow. Historically, BJE has traded at a significant discount to its peers, and rightly so, due to lower margins in CD and value destruction in E&P due to losses. However, over the next two years, we expect the valuation gap between BJE and its peers to narrow as: (1) TOC yields results, (2) BJE focuses on leveraging distribution network through a judicious mix of geographical and product expansion, (3) there is strong revenue visibility, with levers for margin expansion, (4) working capital could improve because of TOC, and as BJE adopts channel financing resulting in an FCF generation of Rs 6bn over FY17‐19 (highest in the last seven years), and (5) improving return ratios. Consequently, we have revised our FY18/19 earnings estimates by 4%/6%. Current stock price implies a 20x PE for BJE’s CD segment and 6x EV/EBITDA on our FY19 estimates. We assign a FY19 target PE of 26x to BJE’s CD segment earnings (72% of FY19 PAT) to get a per share value of Rs 390. We expect measures taken by the company to lead to robust cash flow generation and improvement in the return profile to spur a rerating. Our multiple is at a 35% discount to the industry average. We value its E&P segment on EV/EBITDA at 7x FY19 vs. industry average of 10x to arrive at a per share value of Rs 60. We revise our target price to Rs 450 (Rs 300 earlier) – implying 29% upside. Upgrade our rating to Buy from Sell.
