Key triggers over 12-24 months PRICE PERFORMANCE (%) EW Capital Stock Nifty We believe, management’s guidance of ~40% revenue growth in the EPC segment is Goods Index achievable given the robust ~3x surge (versus Q3FY18) in the order book to INR89bn. 1 month (6.0) (0.3) (4.0) However, potential rise in working capital needs to be monitored. Moreover, launch of 3 months 20.9 1.5 (1.4) new products / SKUs to regain lost market share (especially, in fans—fell to 12% from 12 months 93.1 11.6 3.7 14%), leveraging the rollout of Range and Reach Expansion Programme (to be

Outlook and valuations: Wait and watch; maintain ‘HOLD’ While we expect the EPC segment to continue to drive BJE’s near-term revenue, Amit Mahawar growth in core ECD segment’s revenue led by focus on product innovations/ramp up +91 22 4040 7451 [email protected] and brand positioning is vital.

Q4FY18 conference call: Key highlights Performance:  15% volume growth in ECD segment and strong 44% growth in the EPC segment with timely execution of orders.  Interest cost dipped. However, management expects interest rates to rise going ahead.

 BJE created provision during the quarter for the loan given to Starlite which is unrecoverable due to decline in demand for CFLs.  Staff cost fell due to increase in outsourcing by BJE.

 Cash from operations stands at INR2.2bn before working capital changes and INR2.5bn increase in working capital resulting in net cash flow from operations of INR0.3bn.

EPC business:  BJE has bagged orders for power distribution worth INR50bn to be completed within 18-24 months. BJE is targeting completion by March 2020.

 Order book currently stands at INR89bn, of which INR15bn worth of orders are for power distribution.

 The 11.3% margin of the EPC business is not sustainable; 8-9% sustainable.

 No cash flow issue to execute the orders.

 BJE expects major growth in the EPC business in the current year, for which it may have to take additional INR5bn from the current INR7.25bn worth of debt for EPC. However, the company is trying to improve execution so that it can improve the cash conversion cycle to 3x.

Guidance:  Management expects INR35-40bn revenue in the EPC segment with 8-9% sustainable margin.

 The ECD segment is estimated to post revenue of INR25-30bn in FY19 with 6-7% sustainable margin.  Capex guidance of INR0.35 and payment of INR0.35bn dividend.

Borrowings and receivables:  INR7.29bn borrowing primarily for the EPC business and INR2.55bn is channel financing (80% for ECD segment and balance for luminaries).

 The average rotation is 3x in the EPC business and, therefore, the current borrowing position does not suffice for execution of INR90bn worth of orders.

 Receivables: INR16.5bn for EPC and balance INR2.8bn for ECD.

 Creditors: INR10bn for EPC and INR7.3bn for ECD.

 Inventories: INR3.15bn for ECD and INR2.2bn for EPC.

 Acceptances: INR2.9bn in FY18 versus INR2.06bn in FY17.

Company Description Incorporated as Radio Lamp Works in July 1938, the company changed its name to Bajaj Electricals in October 1960. The 71-year old Bajaj Group company operates through five strategic business units—home appliances, fans, lighting, luminaries, and engineering & projects.

The company has two manufacturing facilities, one at Chakan for fans, and another at Ranjangaon for galvanised material. The company sources the manufacture of CFL bulbs through its associate company where BJE has acquired equity interest. It outsources all other home appliances products like steam irons and toasters through its dedicated manufacturers located across the country.

Investment Theme With its consumer facing business growing steadily, BJE is now focused more on growing its E&P division. It is the largest small appliances company in and the leader in the small domestic appliances market. By virtue of tie ups with global majors like Morphy Richards (UK) and Nardi (Italy), the company competes with premium players like Philips and Kenstar, and has been able to create a niche in the premium segment. Its products like mixers, irons, OTG, water heaters and room coolers are leading products in their respective products ranges. BJE, a leading consumer appliances company, is in the midst of significant operational overhaul under its RREP (range reach expansion programme), which has had a bearing on its overall market positioning over the past few quarters. BJE has lost substantial market share across key businesses—lighting & consumer appliances— on account of reasonable scale up of competition. We believe, given the yawning gap versus large peers, it will be challenging for management to regain market positioning.

Key Risks The market in which BJE primarily operates consists of large unorganised players with a number of small and medium sized players. Over dependence on vendors or vendor buy out by competition is a key risk. Further, intense competition in the consumer durable segment can squeeze margins.

Increase in prices of key raw materials such as steel and zinc can hamper margins of the E&P division. Greater contribution of E&P business is likely to increase the debt levels in the form of higher working capital that this business demands. Excess competition can put pressure on margin. This could go against the company’s forecasts of margin improvement.
