Edelweiss Securities Limited Consumer Goods Investment Rationale Flagship brands to anchor growth PIDI’s presence in niche, under-penetrated and high growth categories with limited competition makes it a good play on Indian consumer goods spends. The niche presence yields high gross margins, high barriers to entry, strong brand equity, mass acceptance and superior growth opportunities. Chart 1: Consumer & Bazaar product sales expected to grow at 19% CAGR over 14-16E 48,500 “We keep our eyes and ears open to what customers want, 40,500 while our strong R&D gets us exactly the right products" 32,500 - M B Parekh, 24,500 Chairman & MD mn) (INR 16,500 8,500 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14E FY15E FY16E Source: Company, Edelweiss research The adhesive & sealants segment, contributing 51% to total sales, houses strong brands like Fevicol, M-seal and Fevistik under its umbrella. The company has near monopoly in this segment with Fevicol and M-seal enjoying ~70% market share each in the adhesive and sealants product categories, respectively. The category grew 18% YoY in FY13. The second largest category, construction chemicals (contributing 20% to total sales), also has strong brands, Dr. Fixit (largely used as waterproofing and repair solution) and Roff (used as complete range of tile fixing solution) under its umbrella. This category grew 20% YoY in FY13. PIDI’s third largest category, art materials (contributing 10% to total sales), surged 35% YoY in FY13. In art materials, the company has a host of brands like Hobby Ideas, Ranipal, Motomax and Cyclo . Off late, the segment has seen significant growth on account of fresh look at products, new product introductions, better communication and improved distribution model. Industrial products account for 19% of the company’s revenue. This segment has lower margin vis-à-vis consumer and bazaar segment; it includes three sub-segments: (i) Industrial adhesives: Being market leader, PIDI provides an extensive range of products catering to packaging, cigarettes, stock labels, stickers, footwear, etc. (contributes 7% to company’s revenue); (ii) Industrial resins : The company produces polymers and co-polymers for industries like paints, non-woven and flocked fabrics and leather (contributes 6% to total revenue); and (iii) Organic pigments and preparation : Pioneer in manufacturing Pigment 2 Edelweiss Securities Limited Pidilite Violet 23 in India. Market leader in pigment dispersions for textile segment; the segment contributes around 6% to total revenue. Since the industrial segment caters to various industries (textiles, leather, footwear, ink, packaging, etc.) its growth pattern largely mirrors IIP growth figures. In the others category, PIDI manufactures a variety of special acetates. Currently, these products are under test marketing with special focus on niche segments targeted at import substitution.

The company’s recent launches in the premium end—Marine Fevicol (for furniture in constant touch with water), Speedex (fast adhesives) and fabric glue—are growing faster than base adhesives. Huge brand equity is a high entry barrier PIDI is not present in competitive consumer segments or well-penetrated segments; it focuses on only niche sub-segments. This has resulted in the company developing market- leading brands Fevicol, Dr Fixit and M-Seal. As there are no large competing products in these sub-segments, it has developed products that now enjoy indisputable market leadership. 4 Edelweiss Securities Limited Pidilite Table 1: Low competitive intensity creating a strong entry barrier Segment Pidilite brands Competition brands Use Adhesive & Sealant Fevicol, Fevistik, Fevikwik, Mseal, Jivanjor, Carpenter, Woodwork, Flooring, Upholstery, Steelgrip, Feviquick Araldite, Dendrite Footwear, Plumbing, electrical and decorative purposes Construction chemical ROFF, Dr. Fixit, Fevimate Sika, Fosroc Waterproofing, Admixture, Tile fixing, Floor hardening, Sealants, Heat reduction coating Art material & stationery Fevicryl, Hobby Idea, Fevicraft, Camlin, Faber Castle Education, Publication, Painting Sargent Art Fabric care Ranipal Ujala Cloth brightner, Stain removal Automotive Cyclo, Motomax Castrol Lubricant, Engine Oil, Maintenance, Polishing Decorative paints Wudfin, Piditint Asian Paints, Berger Wood finishing, Interior coating and wall finishing Industrial Adhesive Fevicol, Pidivyl, Tracol, Trisol, Henkel, Huntsman, Packaging and converting, cigarette, book Pidiprimer, Kondicryl Sika, 3M, HB fuller binding, stickers, lamination and labelling, Footwear Textile Chemical Texcron, Dopcron, Pidifinish, BASF, Jubiliant Pigment dispersion, Pigment printing Pidicryl Industrial
