FMCG: Company Update 22 July 2014
PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd.
The secondary market for cigarettes has started cooling off after the recent frenzied trading activity and price rise. Traders are now worried that the accumulated stocks (at high prices) may not fetch the desired prices as: 1) channel inventory is at an all time high and 2) the company is worried about a decline in consumption and may not hike prices to the extent initially envisaged. In our budget review (click here), our channel checks had indicated that the weighted average price hikes could be in the range of ~30% by August. However, now, the secondary market is showing clear signs of sluggishness and we have revised our price‐hike estimates for FY15 accordingly. Based on the new market developments, it is likely that price hikes in FY15 may translate to some margin erosion. Here are our observations and estimates:
64mm likely to grow in the long term, but the near term is uncertain: 64mm has been ITC’s most promising category and contributed to ~13‐14% of volumes at the end of FY14. The sharp increase in excise duty (up 72%) could disrupt the price structure of the products in this category, as the company might have to take significant price hikes to improve the category’s profitability. However, sharp price hikes will also defeat the category’s saliency of recruiting new customers and providing avenues for long‐term growth through price hikes. About a week ago, the secondary market was buoyant with expectations of a price hike exceeding 50%, but now these expectations have tempered. ITC will hike prices to pass on the excise duty hike of Rs 0.5 per stick to maintain profitability, but the hikes in 64mm may not be very steep (expect ~25‐30%) — also, it is not necessary that the EBIT/stick will increase in line with the price growth. Volume growth in FY15 may remain under pressure. The hikes will also affect the long‐term growth prospects of the category.
Calibrated price hikes; channel inventory at an all time high: The demand scenario continues to remain bleak and channel inventory is at an all‐time high. Market sources have also indicated that ITC has a huge excise‐paid inventory (at least one month), and the impact of price hikes is likely to be reflected from Q3FY15 onwards. While this will help in managing volumes in FY15, earnings growth is likely to be muted because of the high base. The weighted average price hike on cigarettes will be ~14% — considerably lower than our previous estimate of ~20%.
EBIT growth can surprise negatively: Based on our price growth estimate of ~14‐15% in FY15, EBIT/stick growth should be ~12%. Cigarette business margins are likely to contract in FY15 if the company is unable to manage its cost structure. Considering the high channel inventory, volume growth in FY15 is likely to be muted — volume should decline by ~1% in FY15 (earlier ~4% and price growth of ~20%) translating to category EBIT growth of ~11%. Our estimates are significantly lower than consensus estimates of ~15‐18% category EBIT growth.
Lowering estimates; maintain SELL: We have lowered our estimates, taking into consideration the lower pricing growth in the year. With sluggishness in earnings in FY15 and FY16, and the present government’s adverse view towards the category, its profitability will suffer in the forthcoming years. We maintain our Sell recommendation on the stock.

Price hikes could lag excise duty hikes in FY15 Protecting the 64mm category will be critical The weighted‐average excise duty hike for ITC’s portfolio works out to ~25%. The steepest hike is in the 64mm category at 72% to Rs 1.15 per stick. This sharp hike in excise duty could disrupt this category’s price structure — 64mm is a recruiter category and provides avenues for long‐term growth visibility through both volumes and pricing.

Source: Ministry of Finance, India In the past, ITC has raised product prices in line with excise duty hikes to maintain and grow its operating margins. However, the recent sharp excise hike on filter cigarettes is unprecedented and ITC may not be able to hike prices to match it, as such steep hikes could almost kill this fast‐growing category. We have assumed a price hike of ~25‐30% for the category, which will maintain its saliency. Our sources in the market say that a new pack of Goldflake Superstar (64mm) cigarettes will have an MRP of Rs 35 (earlier Rs 28) implying a hike of 25%. 64mm product realisations 64 mm category Rs/Stick 64 mm FY15 64 mm FY14Gross MRP (blended MRP) 3.2 2.5Excise duty 1.2 0.7VAT 0.8 0.6Dealer Margins 0.4 0.3Net Realizations 0.93 0.96RM 0.26 0.25Manufacturing and Freight 0.25 0.24Depreciation 0.03 0.03EBIT per stick 0.42 0.47EBIT Margin % 45.3 49.2
Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Estimates Even with such a sharp price hike in the category, net realization could decline. This indicates that ITC is willing to take a hit on margins for volume growth. This is a marked deviation from the operating performance strategy in the previous years, when EBIT growth has been a priority over volume growth. Price hikes in other categories likely to be less aggressive According to our market sources, prices of some key brands have been announced. The GoldFlake Kings (84mm) prices will be hiked to Rs 9.5 per stick from the current Rs 8.5 per stick. This is lower than our earlier estimated price of Rs 10/stick. ITC will probably hike prices by ~18% (weighted average price hike) by August and the full impact of these price hikes could be seen from end of Q2FY15 and the beginning of Q3FY15 onwards as the company still has excise‐paid inventory and market is still seeing supply products packed in May and June.

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Estimates Market participants also indicated that ITC may not hike prices in some of its key brands such as Goldflake Premium (69mm) and will wait for competitor pricing actions to protect its market share. 69mm is the largest contributor to its profitability and Goldflake 69mm is its most profitable brand. Protecting market share in the brand is a critical success factor for the company. However, market share protection could also mean that pricing actions in the segment could be lower than expected and brand profitability could trend lower if competition is aggressive.

EBIT per stick growth likely to be uninspiring in FY15 As pricing growth is likely to lag excise duty growth, growth in EBIT per stick is likely to be sluggish vs. the last 5 years. Also, margins are likely to trend lower in FY15 after 5 years of sharp expansion. After the sharp price hike in the fastest‐growing 64mm category, volume growth is likely to be muted. Volumes will decline by ~1% for FY15E, but the decline could be more severe depending on the channel inventory, which is at an all time high. The growth in EBIT/stick is the slowest in the last 4 years at 12% YoY. While the company may be able to manage the cost structure (better than we expect it to) and report higher growth, it would have utilized significant cost levers in FY14 itself as costs growth in the segment was largely muted during the year.

Source: Company, PhillipCapital India Research Estimates While Q1FY15 and Q2FY15 numbers may not fully reflect the impact of pricing, there is likely to be a significant slowdown in volume growth from Q3FY15. Even FY16 volume growth could be sluggish considering the possibility of the government raising excise duties again.
