    INDIA

    We believe the acquisition of Heinz India business is transformational for Zydus

    Wellness. The timing of the acquisition and the completion of integration could

    not have been better, in our view, given the increased consumer focus on health

    and wellness – likely accelerated consumer adoption of >70% of the portfolio

    (Sugar Free, Glucon-D, Nutralite and Complan). We especially like the new

    product development strategy aimed to address some key challenges – SugarLite

    to address the taste penalty, Sugar Free Green is a natural product, Complan

    Nutrigro to regain lost medical connect of the brand. Potential deleveraging is

    likely to drive FCF generation faster. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and

    DCF-based target price of Rs2,500 (implied P/E of 42xFY22e).

    Synergies from the integration of Heinz India business: We expect Zydus’ acquisition of Heinz India’s business to be value accretive driven by (1) Significant

    scale advantages in both distribution network and media buying (Heinz business

    revenue was Rs11bn and Zydus’ core business revenue was Rs5bn), (2) Cross

    leveraging the distribution strength (using Chemist channel strength to accelerate

    growth in Complan and Glucon-D) and (3) accelerate new product launches.

    Consumer focus on health and wellness a tailwind for ~70% of the business: The current pandemic, in our view, will result in faster adoption of health and

    wellness products. We note >70% of Zydus’ portfolio stands to benefit from this

    trend. We see benefits to (1) Sugar Free (for both health conscious consumers as

    well as diabetics who are more aware of the risk from comorbidities), (2) Glucon-D

    (innovation around immunity boosting), (3) Nutralite (providing a low-calorie

    alternative to spreads) and (4) Complan (needs to gain market share).

    New product development to be a key growth driver: We like Zydus’ focus on new product development as a key growth driver across its portfolio. The company

    has been on a spree of innovations over the past two years. SugarLite (healthier

    sugar substitute, reduces the taste penalty), Sugar Free Green (relaunch in a

    completely natural format), Complan Nutrigro (launched through pharmacy and

    doctor recommendation – to regain the lost medical connect of the brand) and

    Complan 75gm sachets (increase brand penetration) are some of the key launches.

    Synergies from the integration of Heinz India business

    Zydus Wellness acquired Heinz India’s consumer business in January 2019, giving it

    ownership of popular brands like Glucon-D, Complan and Nycil. The acquisition also

    resulted in the transfer of two large manufacturing facilities (one in Aligarh and one in

    Sitarganj), teams (operations, research, sales, marketing and support) and a network

    of more than 800 distributors and 20,000 wholesalers in 29 states.

    The acquisition cost of Rs46.7bn was funded through a mix of debt and equity. The

    company raised Rs25.8bn by issuing 186mn shares on a preferential basis to Cadila

    Healthcare (Rs11.8bn), Zydus Family Trust (Rs3.0bn), True North (Rs10.0bn) and

    Pioneer Investment Fund (Rs1.0bn). This fresh issue was done at a share price of

    Rs1,382. At the same time, Zydus also raised debt of Rs15.0bn by issuing 9.14%

    secured, redeemable NCDs. The remaining funding was through internal cash.

    Integration of both businesses

    Zydus has been successful in completing the integration of the two businesses and

    bringing out synergies to the fore. The entire integration process was set around three

    key transformations – sales, supply chain and IT systems.

    Sales & distribution: The company embarked on a project to integrate the two

    separate sales organisations (Project Udaan). Zydus Wellness has also rationalised its

    distribution network, while at the same time expanded the reach. Zydus has increased

    its direct reach to 0.3mn outlets and aims to increase it to 0.5mn by FY2021-end.

    Supply chain: The company is also focused on improving the supply chain efficiency

    during business integration. Due to the acquisition, the company’s carry and forward

    agent (CFA) network increased to 65 (26 existing CFA, 19 acquired CFA and 20 cold

    chain). In order to reduce logistics cost and streamline supply chain, Zydus reduced

    this count to 23 CFAs.

    Technology: Zydus has also completed the integration of digital infrastructure –

    migrating all applications to Zydus Wellness systems. The company also implemented

    SAP S4/HANA installation in 132 days, one of the fastest implementations in the

    industry. Distributor management systems, vendor management and reverse auction

    platforms have also been synced with the new systems – laying the groundwork to

    become a much larger organisation, in our view.

    Synergy benefits

    We believe that the company has completed the groundwork for setting up the

    combined entity towards accelerated growth trajectory. We believe that the acquisition

    is value accretive for Zydus driven by:

    Significant scale advantages in both distribution network and media buying: At

    the time of acquisition, Zydus’ core business had revenue of Rs5bn while Heinz India

    business (acquired) had revenue of Rs11bn. We believe that this acquisition of a

    business double the size of the core, provides Zydus with significant economies of

    scale. These benefits include better bargaining power with the distribution network as

    well as more savings in media buying.

    Cross leveraging the distribution strength: Zydus, given its healthcare/pharma

    background (promoter company, Cadila Healthcare, is a Rs386bn market cap

    healthcare company), has a strong chemist connect. We believe that this is likely to

    help the company accelerate the growth for the acquired brands like Complan and

    Glucon-D. The company has already started working towards leveraging this, by the

    launch of Complan Nutrigro. This product is focused on the pharmacy and doctor

    recommendation channel and is aimed to help Complan (the core brand) regain its lost

    medical connect, in our opinion.

    Accelerate new product launches: Greater scale, larger distribution network and an

    enhanced budget for ad-spends, in our opinion, will allow Zydus to accelerate its new

    product launches. We note that the company has already stepped up its new product

    launches in 2020 so far (discussed in detail later).

    Health and wellness focus by consumers to accelerate growth for 70%+ portfolio

    The current pandemic, in our view, will result in a significant acceleration in the

    adoption of health and wellness products given the greater awareness and willingness

    of consumers. We note >70% of Zydus’ portfolio stands to benefit from this trend.

    Sugar Free growth to be supported by innovation and higher health

    consciousness among consumers

    India has the second largest population of diabetics in the world (77 mn); China has

    116mn diabetics. This translates into almost 17% share of world diabetic population

    from India. According to International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), this number is likely

    to increase to 136mn of diabetics in India, contributing ~20% to global diabetic

    population by 2045. We believe with rising incidences of health-related diseases,

    along with greater consumer awareness (accelerated due to the ongoing pandemic

    and the risk from comorbidities), artificial sweetener category growth should accelerate

    beyond the ~10% CAGR being reported over the past few years.

    Having said that, the biggest challenges for Zydus, in our opinion, in terms of growing

    the category have been: (1) Taste penalty in artificial sweeteners and (2) need to

    recruit the consumer at the time of diagnosis of diabetes.

    Taste penalty is basically the slight after-taste that a consumer of artificial sweetener is

    left with. This impedes the adoption of the product by health conscious consumers

    who are not diabetic. We believe the company has (somewhat) found a solution to this

    in the product ‘Sugar Lite’. This product addresses the taste concern and hence, could

    be a growth driver for health conscious consumers. Zydus launched a campaign

    ‘Sugar Badlo Health Badlo’ (change your sugar, improve your health) to drive growth

    in FY20.

  • Zydus Wellness, September 24, 2020 ICICI Securities

    The other challenge, of recruiting the diabetic at the time of it being diagnosed,

    remains a concern in our opinion. The company, even with its doctor and

    pharmaceutical connect through Cadila (another promoter company), has so far been

    unable to find an answer for this. Any potential solution to this could be a significant

    growth driver for the Sugar Free brand.

    Complan to benefit from market expansion and increasing penetration

    The brand was unable to adjust to competition over the past five years with Heinz,

    losing market share to 5% from 15% earlier. We believe the brand frequently changed

    the proposition and lost the differentiation to other brands. This resulted in the

    premium over Horlicks reducing to 20-25% now versus over 50% earlier.

    Complan is the only brand at Zydus where they are not in the leading position and

    hence, requires gaining share and not just market development.

  • Zydus Wellness, September 24, 2020 ICICI Securities

    Complan’s penetration at 12% is significantly lower than the 24% penetration for the

    category. We believe the management has started addressing this issue through the

    introduction of 75gm sachets (@Rs30). This is likely to drive new customer

    recruitment.

    The brand remains over-indexed in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu and therefore, Zydus

    needs to expand the distribution in North and West.

    The other key growth driver, in our view, will be from the market development activities

    that will be done by HUL for Horlicks brand. We believe HUL will significantly drive

    penetration through sachets and this opens up an opportunity for Complan as well.

    Glucon-D growth to be driven by innovation

    Glucose powder category has been one of the fastest growing categories for Zydus

    where it has 59% market share. Glucon-D is positioned as an energy booster with

    different variants covering the need for different vitamins.

    We expect the brand to continue to grow in double digits, helped by introduction of

    new variants (Immuno Volt), increased brand investment along with mass media

    support and competitive trade offers (a key to win in the category).

    Nutralite’s biggest challenge is to reduce dependence on B2B channel

    Nutralite is a leading margarine brand in India – cholesterol free and a butter

    substitute. The product also does not have trans fats and is fortified with Omega 3 and

    Vitamin A, D & E.

    Zydus has also introduced low calorie mayonnaise and choco spreads under the

    brand, extending its health proposition and aiming to gain a larger share of the

    breakfast table. Although currently a small contributor to Zydus (2% revenue

    contribution), we expect the brand to benefit from these extensions.

    A challenge, however, for Zydus, has been to reduce the dependence on the

    institutional channel and thereby, lower the volatility in the business – we have seen

    the brand getting impacted by disruptions in B2B segment.

    Leadership position in niche personal care categories

    Although personal care categories have been under pressure in the current pandemic,

    we expect the performance to improve in FY22.

    Nycil to benefit from growing functional talc category

    In talcs, functional talc segment has grown at a faster pace over the past few years,

    while sensorial talc category has been under pressure (likely consumer upgrades to

    deodorants).

    Nycil is the market leader in the prickly heat powder category with 34% market share.

    The brand is significantly ahead of competition and continues to grow backed by

    investment in mass media. We, however, estimate significant impact on Nycil’s

    performance in FY21 as summer season forms a significant portion of revenues.

    FY21 also witnessed the first ever brand extension for Nycil, with the launch of

    sanitisers in the pandemic.

    Everyuth

    Everyuth brand is positioned as a skin care range especially meant for face with

    solutions for a healthy skin. The brand is positioned as a ‘Naturals’ play and hence,

    has grown at 14% CAGR over the past two years – benefiting from the popularity of

    natural brands.

    The brand remains a market leader in scrubs (33% share) and peel-offs (78% share)

    and is likely to continue its strong growth performance, backed by media campaigns,

    consumer offers and on-ground promotions.

    New product development to improve penetration and recruit new customers

    We especially like Zydus’ focus on new product development as a key growth driver

    across its portfolio. The company has been on a spree of innovations over the past

    two years. We list down the key launches, in our view, and the potential benefits from

    them.

    SugarLite – Significantly reduces the taste penalty in using a healthier sugar

    substitute and hence, in our opinion, will increase adoption of the product.

    Sugar Free Green – Relaunch of the product in a completely natural format (made

    using stevia extract) is likely to mitigate any risk perception on the brand.

    Complan Nutrigro – Launched through the pharmacy and doctor recommendation

    channel, this product is aimed to help Complan regain its lost medical connect. We

    believe the company’s 300 strong medical representative team will help increase the

    adoption of this product.

    Complan 75gm sachets – We believe this new SKU launch will help Complan

    increase penetration of the brand, closer to the category penetration of 24% vs the

    brand’s penetration at (only) 12%. Sachets are one sub-segment where Complan was

    not participating and hence, losing share in new customer recruitments.

    Nutralite Mayonnaise and Choco spread – These launches aim at increasing the

    share of Nutralite brand at the breakfast table. These two products provide consumer

    with healthier, less calorie replacements of spreads and hence, could see acceleration

    in adoption given the currently health conscious consumer and greater in-home

    consumption.

    Glucon-D Immuno Volt – These energy bites are a way for Zydus to extend the

    brand beyond just glucose powder category. The company is also trying to build on

    consumers’ focus on immunity by introducing a product fortified with Vitamin C & D,

    Zinc and Glucose.

    Financial performance, assumptions, estimates

    Estimate 8% & 14% revenue & EBITDA CAGR over FY20-23E

    Zydus has had a strong performance over FY09-20 (22% revenue CAGR in 11 years,

    including M&A). We model 8% revenue CAGR over FY20-23E. We believe this growth

    will be supported by (1) health and wellness focus by consumers (benefits >70%

    portfolio), (2) leadership position in niche personal care categories, (3) expansion of

    distribution network and (4) continuing investments behind brands.

    EBITDA margin to expand 300bps over FY20-23E

    Zydus’s EBITDA margin declined 380bps YoY in FY20 primarily due to the acquisition

    of Heinz India consumer business which has a lower gross margin product portfolio.

    We note that major raw materials prices (i.e. Refined Palm Oil, Palm Kernel Oil and

    SMP) have been benign in FY21 so far – near-term margin improvement driver.

    In the medium-term, margins are likely to benefit from cost efficiencies (back-end

    efficiencies and synergies in manufacturing and supply chain) and premiumisation

    within the existing brands. We estimate 300bps EBITDA margin expansion to 21.2%

    by FY23E from 18.2% in FY20, resulting in 14% EBITDA CAGR over FY20-23E.

    Return on capital employed

    Zydus had healthy RoCE at 19% in FY18 before the acquisition of Heinz India

    portfolio. However, post the acquisition, its RoCE declined to 6% in FY20. We expect

    RoCE to improve to 9% by FY23 driven by better margins and higher asset turnover.

    Rs4.6bn in FY23E from Rs2.3bn in FY20, driven by improving operating margin and

    Valuations and risks

    We value Zydus on DCF basis with 11% WACC and 6% terminal growth assumptions.

    We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating based on our DCF-based target

    price of Rs2,500, which implies a 46% potential upside. At our target price, the stock

    will trade at 42x P/E multiple Mar-22E. In reverse DCF, the current stock price implies

    an 11% EBITDA CAGR over FY20-30E (WACC of 11%, terminal growth 6%).

    DCF assumptions

    We value Zydus Wellness on DCF based on the following three stages:

    Stage 1 (FY21E-FY30E): During this period, we estimate 11% revenue CAGR and

    15% EBITDA CAGR

    Stage 2 (FY30E-FY42E): During this period, we estimate 10% FCF CAGR

    Stage 3 (FY42 onwards): We assume 6% terminal growth rate

    Based on these assumptions, we arrive at our target price of Rs2,500.
