Under TCS the company offers cold storage warehouses and reefertransportation services to its clients while Ambient services caters to non temperature controlled warehousing andtransportation.

During the latest financial year (FY-14), the company has reported a ~35% growth in sales at ~153.4 millions asagainst ~1137 million. Its EBITDA stood at ~380 million in FY-14 as against ~255 million.

The company’s majority of business comes from clients operating into niche business areas including Dairyproducts, Meat & Poultry, Sea food, Ready to eat, Fruits & Vegetables, Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals and QuickService Restaurants (QSR).

Currently organized players like Snowman Logistics Limited have less than 10% share combined in cold chainindustry which is largely dominated by Government agencies and unorganized players.

With a rising demand for integrated niche offering across the country, regionally well spread players like Snowmanare expected to witness both increase volumes and gain market share.

Going ahead, we believe Snowman to maintain its growth of more than 30% for next few years as cold chainmarkets penetrates deeper into the hinterland owing to better infrastructure availability and shifting consumerpreferences.

We initiate our coverage on Snowman Logistics Limited with a BUY rating target and a target price of ₹116 pershare.

Three pronged business strategy and catering to niche segments to help in maintaining high margins and utilization levels

Dedicated chamber: The entire chamber capacity is sold on a dedicated basis while charging the rentirrespective of client using capacity or not. This is usually for very large clients.

Guaranteed space: A certain number of pallets are guaranteed to the customer, which can be used wheneverrequired. In a case where customer fails to utilize its allotted capacity fully, Snowman can use this capacity forits pay-and-park customers.

Pay and park: Under this model, customers pay for the capacity and store their products. This is for shortterm and small clients.

The potential growth for the organized and unorganized market:

Total Organized warehouse capacity (Mn. Tons)

The Indian warehousing capacity is largely concentrated with either government entities or unorganizedplayers. The unorganized players accounts for around 85% of the market while organized (modern) warehousesaccounts for the remaining 15%.

This 15% share includes almost all of the cold chain industry players which is still at a nascent stage in Indiadespite being one of the largest producer of perishables.

Due to lack of facilities available, India stores only two percent of its horticulture products in temperature-controlled conditions, while China stores 15 percent and Europe and North America stores 85 percent of theirproducts in such conditions.

Cold Storage availability in India

India has reported a production of about 280 million tons of horticulture produce in year 2013.

However, adequate cold storage facilities are available for just about 10% of its entire production whereas, ofthe total annual production, about 35% is wasted before it reaches for final consumption.

As per government estimates during the peak production period, gap between the demand and supply ofcold storage capacity is approx. 25-30 million tons.

While the existing cold storage capacity is concentrated in terms of both number and capacity in the northernregion of the country and primarily in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal which contain around 65 percent of thecold storage units in the country and the rest are spread across India.

Cold Chain Industry key segments

To improve the availability of perishables across the country, Government has introduced several policymeasures like capital subsidy, accelerated depreciation, exemption of taxes along with others.

India’s cold chain industry has started to show signs of turnaround as several private players have venturedinto the business after sustained government push and increase in urbanization.

The industry has added capacity at growth rate of ~14% per year since 2009 which currently stood at 30million ton and is expected to continue to grow at ~13% until 2017 achieving 50 million ton capacity.
