The profitability was also mainly contributed by the consumer durable business whose margin expanded by 94BPS YoY to 12.4%. The consolidated operating profit grew by 19% to Rs173 crore in Q1FY2015 but due to higher interest and depreciation charges the net profit grew by 6% YoY to Rs64 crore, which was in line with our estimate. During the post-results conference call, the management shared that the problem areas (the Belgian and Canadian businesses and the power system business in the USA) have stabilised and are about to break even at the operating level. Moreover, there are clear signs of an improvement in the overseas business (as evident from the strong order inflow in Q1FY2015) and the management hinted that new orders have a better margin profile. Hence, the margin should improve in the overseas business. We believe the overseas business is on a recovery path; we expect it to largely break even at the operating level in FY2015 but add value at the net level only from FY2016. Further, a revival in the domestic demand environment could benefit CGL. In the meanwhile, the management is looking to demerge the consumer durable business which could unlock value. In view of these positives we remain bullish on the stock and retain our Buy recommendation on CGL with an unchanged price target of Rs225 (20x the FY2016E earnings).

The healthy performance in the power system business was mainly due to a steady performance (a 13% growth YoY) in the international subsidiary (thanks to a recovery post-restructuring) along with a minuscule growth in the domestic business. The overseas industrial system business also witnessed a strong recovery with a 19% revenue growth; however, the same business performed poorly in India (down 7% YoY). Consequently, at the consolidated level the industrial segment reported a softer number with a 2% decline YoY. The power system and industrial system businesses in India remained sluggish while there was a recovery in the international operations. On the other hand, the domestic consumer business registered a 7% growth on a high base of Q1FY2014. The growth in the domestic consumer business was driven by a jump in the fan and pump business in the quarter. [PBIT] level) and offset the profit from the power system business (a PBIT of Rs30 crore). The consolidated operating profit grew by 19% YoY to Rs173 crore during the period. 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 Q 1 F Y 1 3 Q 2 F Y 1 3 Q 3 F Y 1 3 Q 4 F Y 1 3 Q 1 F Y 1 4 Q 2 F Y 1 4 Q 3 F Y 1 4 Q 4 F Y 1 4 Q 1 F Y 1 5 -4.0% -2.0% 0.0% 2.0% 4.0% 6.0% 8.0% 10.0% 12.0% 14.0% 16.0% 18.0% Consol Sales Grow th(%)- YoY Consolidated sales (Rs cr) (10.0) (5.0) - 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 Q 1 F Y 1 3 Q 2 F Y 1 3 Q 3 F Y 1 3 Q 4 F Y 1 3 Q 1 F Y 1 4 Q 2 F Y 1 4 Q 3 F Y 1 4 Q 4 F Y 1 4 Q 1 F Y 1 5 Pow er system Industrial System Consumer Products Segmental consolidated PBIT margin (%) Consumer durables driving profit; overseas business remains positive at operating level CGL (consolidated) reported an operating profit margin (OPM) of 5%, an expansion of 48 basis points (BPS) mainly due to a margin improvement in the consumer durable business in Q1FY2015. The profitability too was mainly driven by the consumer durable business, which contributed more than 60% of the total profit and recorded a growth. On the other hand, the industrial profit declined by 20% (a loss of Rs31 crore at the profit before interest and tax Net profit growth restricted to 6% on higher interest and depreciation The profit after tax (PAT) grew by 6% YoY to Rs64 crore in Q1FY2015 despite a 19% growth at the operating profit level because of higher depreciation and interest costs. In the domestic operations, due to a lower other income, the PAT reported a flat growth at Rs126 crore despite a 12% growth at the operating level. Conference call highlights Order book and inflow: The consolidated order inflow stood at Rs2,900 crore, a growth of 19% YoY, due to a robust growth of 81% YoY in the international subsidiary (mainly in the automation and system businesses) during Q1FY2015. The order inflow in the domestic market remained weak (a decline of 24% YoY) due to the general election during the period. However, the management expects the order inflow activity in the domestic business to show an uptick from Q3FY2015 onwards while the international business is expected to grow. The consolidated order backlog declined by 2% to Rs9,585 crore in the same quarter. 9 , 1 7 2 9 , 4 0 0 9 , 2 3 2 9 , 1 2 6 9 , 7 7 1 9 , 7 4 3 1 0 , 0 7 4 9 , 2 9 3 9 , 5 8 5 2 , 1 2 6 4 , 2 0 6 4 , 1 8 4 3 , 7 9 9 4 , 3 1 8 3 , 9 7 0 3 , 9 7 3 3 , 5 8 5 3 , 6 5 8 - 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 Q 1 F Y 1 3 Q 2 F Y 1 3 Q 3 F Y 1 3 Q 4 F Y 1 3 Q 1 F Y 1 4 Q 2 F Y 1 4 Q 3 F Y 1 4 Q 4 F Y 1 4 Q 1 F Y 1 5 Order Book- Consolidated (Rs cr) Order Book -Standalone (Rs cr) Order backlog trend (Rs cr) Stock Update August 05, 2014 3 3 Result snapshot Rs cr Performance YoY Standalone Subsidiaries (derived) Consolidated Q1FY15 Q1FY14 Grwth (%) Q1FY15 Q1FY14 Grwth (%) Q1FY15 Q1FY14 Grwth (%) Net sales 1,905 1,841 3.5 1,537 1,354 13.5 3,442 3,195 7.7 Operating profits 171 153 12.0 2 (8) NA 173 145 19.1 Other Income 20 30 -32.1 18 5 NA 39 35 9.2 Interest (4) (7) -36.4 29 27 7.2 24 20 21.4 Depreciation 24 21 12.8 43 32 36.8 67 53 27.2 PBT 172 168 2.2 (52) (60) -14.3 120 107 11.5 Tax 45 43 4.7 10 3 NA 55 46 18.5 Adj.

The good news is that the problematic plants in Belgium, Canada and the USA (power systems) are close to breaking even. But the interest cost of the international business continues to pinch the bottom line. On the positive side, the new orders won by the company especially the power transformer orders have significantly better margins (900BPS higher) than the existing orders. The better margin numbers are expected to reflect in the companys performance from mid 2015. Domestic consumer remains king now but power and industrials could revive in India soon: The stand-alone consumer durable division continues to perform well, as per the expectation of the management, supported by an improvement in fans, pumps and lightings. Currently, the industrial and power system divisions remain sluggish but the management sees green shoots, after the coming of a development-focused government at the centre. Consumer durable demerger; potential value unlocking: The management of CGL has plans to demerge the consumer durables division into a separate entity and list it on the bourses. It is evaluating various options for the same and would finalise the detailed structure in the next two to three months. We believe there could be value unlocking from this exercise, subject to the deal structure. Moreover, it is important to note that the management has categorically stated that the company has no plans to bring in new partners in the demerger structure and that the deal would be for the benefit of the existing shareholders.
