INVESTMENT ARGUMENT
The ~US$6bn Indian paints industry is the best proxy to play the
themes of increasing urbanisation and disposable incomes, given its
strong correlation with GDP growth, lower penetration and higher
volume/profit growth visibility.
Propped by external growth triggers such as Pay Commission, OROP,
rise in rural welfare schemes and expectations of good monsoons, we
believe discretionary consumption is set to grow the Paints industry
is likely to be the biggest beneficiary of this opportunity.
Industry
leaders
enjoy
competitive
advantage
over
smaller/unorganised players, backed by scale, distribution and
innovation. These together with stable competitive order should
boost growth. We estimate FY16-18E earnings CAGR of 13-30% for
four leading paint companies.
We believe paint companies that are currently valued in line with
staple companies deserve a valuation premium given their superior
growth visibility and strong operational metrics.
We initiate coverage on APNT/Berger Paints with Outperformer, and
on KNPL/Akzo Nobel India with Neutral rating.

Seventh Pay Commission to boost urban discretionary demand
The Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, submitted in Nov-15,
imply an increase of 23.55% in overall pay/allowances/pensions
indicating an additional infusion of Rs1.02tn for central government
employees. The impact of this change on Indias expenditure-to-GDP is
expected at 0.65%. The revision will be effective from 1 January 2016 and
consequently, employees will receive arrears.
This one-off raise in incomes has benefitted discretionary demand more
than staples, that too in urban markets. Consequently, we believe the
decorative paints industry stand to benefit the most as per our analysis,
for every 1% of the additional infusion moving to decorative paints, the
industry will grow by an additional 4%.

The ~Rs110bn industrial paints segment in India has grown on the back of
increasing demand from the auto segment, white goods and industrial
machinery businesses. These segments, in turn, will be boosted by greater
leverage to urban demand and triggers such as the Seventh Pay
Commission/OROP. The segment is completely B2B in nature and is prone
to business cycles, depending on industrial/economic growth. Further,
most of the sub-segments are dominated by larger players that have
access to specialised technology and can incur high capital expenditure.
Additionally, leveraging international relationships is also a key driver for
gaining share. As a result, all of the top-four paint companies in India are
either controlled by a global parent or have certain global affiliations.

In the past few quarters, a recovery in auto/white goods demand had
resulted in improved growth for the segment. However, recovery in the
protective coatings segment has been modest as capex-led sectors such
as oil & gas, metals & mining and capital goods are yet to witness a
substantial recovery.

Key risks
Pick-up in volume growth not as per expectations
We are factoring a 13.5%/14%/12.5%/6% volume CAGR for APNT/Berger
Paints/KNPL/Akzo Nobel India respectively over FY16-18E. These
estimates are higher than what these companies achieved in FY16 or over
FY12-15. We estimate an improving macro to aid volume growth. A slowerthan-expected pick-up
in volume growth could impact our
revenue/earnings growth assumptions going forward.

INITIATING COVERAGE

INVESTMENT ARGUMENT
APNT, the largest paint company in India, has maintained its
dominance in the Indian market via successfully expanding its
presence across products/geographies.
In FY16, APNT scripted volume growth recovery after three
challenging years. Also, FY17 onwards, we expect stronger volume
pick-up, led by continued investments in innovation/distribution and
favourable macro environment. Consequently, we estimate
consolidated revenue CAGR at 15% in FY16-18E.
We estimate FY16-18E margin to improve 110bp, implying a PAT
CAGR of 20%, led by APNTs improved mix (favouring the highmargin decorative segment), unmatched pricing power, continued
premiumisation and scale benefits.
We expect APNTs premium valuations (31x FY18E earnings) to
sustain given its improved growth trajectory and long-term structural
tailwinds.
We initiate coverage on APNT with Outperformer and a DCF target
price of Rs1,015. The company is our top large-cap consumer pick.
APNT maintained
industry-leading growth,
translating into strong
earnings quality
APNT dominates the Indian paint market, with 54% share of the top-four
players, ~2.5x the number two player. Over the past 10 years, the
companys sales, EBITDA and PAT have grown at CAGR of 19%, 21% and
23% respectively. Moreover, the company maintained industry-leading
growth, translating into strong earnings quality. This was led by improved
market share (from ~42% in FY05 to ~54% in FY15) and gross
margin/EBITDA margin expansion of 200bps/270bps over FY05-15.
Improved mix/scale benefits as well as low working capital and return
ratios akin to consumer staples companies further aided growth. Over
FY16-18E, we expect APNT to outperform the industry with 15% revenue
CAGR, led by domestic volume CAGR of 13.5%. We expect FY16-18E
margins to expand 110bps, resulting in EBITDA/earnings CAGR of
19%/20%.

The Indian paint industry can be divided into two broad segments,
Decorative paints and industrial paints. However, ~70% of the demand
emanates from the decorative segment, with the industrial segment
accounting for a meagre 30%. Further, the industrial segment is marred by
its more cyclical nature (as automotive paints segment forms ~45% of
industrial demand and is directly linked to the macro economy) and lower
pricing power (given its B2B nature).
20 April 2016
Asian Paints
Though all the four top players are present in both the segments, APNTs
revenue mix is tilted more towards the attractive decorative segment. The
segment accounts for 93% of the companys domestic revenues (industrial
paints contribute only 4-5%). In contrast, the industrial segment accounts
for 20%, 45% and 40-45% of revenues for Berger, Kansai Nerolac (KNPL)
and Akzo Nobel respectively.

Indias per capita paint consumption remains low at 2.5kgs compared with
other developing markets (China: ~6-7kg, Asia-Pacific: 5-6kg) Though
current demand has been impacted by weak macro economy, long-term
structural drivers (reduction in repainting cycle, increased urbanisation and
rising first-time paint consumers) are intact. This should improve paint
usage levels and APNT, the market leader with strong brand
equity/distribution, will be a key beneficiary.

Through FY09-12, despite strong price hikes to pass on input cost inflation,
APNT registered double-digit volume growth, clearly reflecting its pricing
leadership and brand loyalty. Moreover, the industry has strong pricing
discipline, with peers following the pricing action of the market leader.
Even in the past 18 months, APNT reduced the MRP by 4% (2% each in two
tranches), which was followed by other players, in spite of the steep
reduction in crude oil prices. Though discounts to the trade have increased
by 2-3%, the benefits of lower RM costs have reflected in EBITDA margin
improvement, ahead of consumer staples companies.

Both the home dcor and bathroom fitting segments are largely
unorganised in nature. Moreover, increased focus on home aesthetics,
rising income levels and urbanisation are expected to drive growth for the
segments. As a result, significant growth opportunities for branded
products exist.
While current demand remains weak and overall contribution of the
segments to profitability is not relevant, we believe long-term growth
potential is immense. APNT can leverage its strong distribution network
and aggressive marketing initiatives to tap this opportunity, thereby
creating newer avenues for growth.
Financial analysis
Revenue trajectory to remain strong
We estimate APNTs
consolidated revenues to
grow at a CAGR of 15% on
13.5% domestic volume
CAGR over FY16-18E
APNTs consolidated revenues have grown at a CAGR of 16.5% over FY1115, led by strong growth in the domestic business (FY11-15 volume CAGR
8.4%). Also, despite weak domestic demand environment, we expect
APNTs revenue trajectory to remain strong. Robust volume-led growth in
the decorative segment and recovery in international/industrial businesses
should further aid revenues. We estimate APNTs consolidated revenues to
grow at a CAGR of 15% on 13.5% domestic volume CAGR over FY16-18E.
We do not factor in a significant price/mix increase, which will be a
function of inflation going forward.

Outshining peers
OUTPERFORMER
Berger Paints, previously a pure industrial-paints play, transformed
itself into a credible number two player in India, led by increased focus
on high-margin decorative segment. The transformation has resulted in
strong 19% earnings CAGR over FY10-16E. Moreover, we expect aheadof-industry growth to continue for Berger given its widened product
portfolio, continued dealer network expansion and incremental revenue
drivers in international/industrial businesses. We expect strong volume
growth, steady margin expansion and lower interest costs to drive
earnings CAGR to 30% over FY16-18E, ahead of peers. We value Berger
on DCF at Rs299, implying a 35x FY18E P/E, which, we believe, is fair
given its superior earnings growth. Initiate with Outperformer Berger
is one of our top mid-cap picks.

INITIATING COVERAGE
INVESTMENT ARGUMENT
Berger Paints, previously a pure industrial-paints play, transformed
itself into a credible number two player in India, led by increased
focus on the high-margin decorative segment.
Within the decorative segment, Berger grew ahead-of-industry
through successfully premiumising its portfolio, in the past five years.
We expect this outperformance to continue, led by increased
investments in manufacturing, distribution and communications as
also rising premiumisation.
These together with benign input cost should boost FY16-18E EBITDA
margin by 180bps, implying sector-leading PAT CAGR of 30%.
Bergers superior earnings growth and lower PEG are reflected in the
narrowing valuation gap (from 30% discount in FY13 to 10% currently)
with APNT.
We initiate coverage on Berger Paints with Outperformer and Rs299
DCF target price Berger is one of our top mid-cap consumer picks.

Over FY05-15, Bergers consolidated sales have grown at 18% CAGR. Gross
margins over FY05-15 improved by 590bps on the back of improved mix,
cost efficiencies and input cost benefit (part of which was reinvested in
brand building). This resulted in EBITDA margin expansion of 200bps and
CAGR of 20% over FY05-15. Given Bergers impressive track record and
effective execution, we expect ahead-of-industry growth to continue.

Berger initially ventured into the economy segment. However, over FY0610, the companys revenue growth was lower than APNTs due to: 1) limited
presence in premium products (the segment was starting to pick pace),
and 2) loss of market share (APNT increased focus on the economy
segment). Nevertheless, Berger regained market share by plugging its
portfolio gap, especially in the premium segment.

BNB Coatings India Pvt. Ltd. is a joint venture (49:51) with Nippon Paint
Automotive Coating (NPAU) of Japan for manufacturing coatings for
plastic substrates of automobiles. In Nov-15, Berger Paints India and
NPAU agreed to further strengthen the capability of their JV, BNB
Coatings India Pvt. Ltd, by transferring some part of their businesses to
the JV. Berger will transfer three-wheeler and four-wheeler (passenger
cars and SUV) paint businesses to BNB, while Nippon Paints India will
transfer its four-wheeler (other than commercial vehicles, auto parts and
ancillaries) paint business. Nippon Paints (India) Pvt. Ltd and Berger
have their automotive coating manufacturing units in Bengaluru and
Howrah, respectively.
Though the quantum of the transferred revenue (from the standalone
business into the JV) is unknown, we understand that 9% of Berger Paints
standalone sales are from general industrial and automotive paints. Hence,
a part of this sum will be transferred to the JV.
The JV will have significant synergies from Nippons technology expertise,
low-cost formulations and customer relationship with Japanese auto
majors. Further, low-cost manufacturing by Berger India and increased
capacity will be additional positives. We believe the JV is will boost overall
automotive coatings business for Berger.

Berger almost doubled its capacity over the past five years from
~0.25mtpa in FY12 to 0.5mtpa in FY15. In line with its strategy of expanding
in South/West, the company is setting up a facility at Hindupur, Andhra
Pradesh (Phase 1 with 80,000tpa capacity has been commissioned). The
company plans to scale it up to 320,000tpa over the next 3-4 years, with a
total capex outlay of Rs5.5bn. Also, Berger is looking at setting up 0.1m KL
emulsion plant to meet the raw material requirement of the facility. We
factor in Rs4.5bn capex over FY16-18E that will be invested in Hindupur
capacity expansion project. However, with operating cash flows of ~Rs14bn
estimated over FY16-18E, capex requirements will be comfortably funded.
We expect the higher free cash flow generation to act as further re-rating
trigger for the stock.

INITIATING COVERAGE
INVESTMENT ARGUMENT
KNPL has leveraged its technology/relationships to emerge as the
largest industrial paints company in India with dominance in the
automotive paints category.
Recently, KNPL increased its focus in the decorative paints segment,
gleaning market share from Akzo India and smaller players.
KNPLs prospects in the industrial segment are attractive. However,
within the decorative segment, incremental market share gains seem
challenging given that the top-two players are well entrenched.
Valuations (at 31.5x FY18E earnings) seem stretched considering
lower earnings growth expectations and the inherent cyclicality
emanating from the industrial segment.
We initiate coverage on KNPL with a Neutral rating and a DCF-based
target price of Rs313.

Strategic tie-ups
In order to improve its overall service offerings through complimentary
technologies, KNPL has entered into various strategic tie-ups in the past.
Currently, KNPL has forged technical collaborations for niche technologies
with players such as Protech Canada (a leading player in powder
coatings), Oshima Kogyo (patent holder for heat resistant paint) and
Cashew Co. Japan. Technical assistance agreements with leading
international players in the coating industry further enhances KNPLs
ability to meet stringent international quality standards.

In-house R&D
KNPL has a well-equipped colour R&D centre at Lower Parel, Mumbai,
backed by Kansai Paint Co., Japan, catering to specific needs of the OEM
industry for newer shades and finishes. The colour development cell of
KNPL organises colour presentations at customer locations and follows it
up with development to standardisation. Kansai Paint Co Japan spends
1.5% of its global revenues on R&D, the benefit of which accrues to the
Indian entity.

MSIL is well placed to benefit from the uptick in the passenger car
segment, given its robust product line-up and strong competitive position.
Also, the recent excise hike could result in a favourable shift towards the
small petrol car segment, which is MSILs strongest segment. The company
could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the seventh pay commission.
As MSIL is the largest client of KNPL, strong growth in MSILs passenger
cars volumes would boost KNPLs automotive paint segment (Exhibit 13).
IDFC Research estimates a 14% volume growth CAGR for MSIL over FY1618E.

Till late 1990s, KNPL was recognised only as an industrial paints company.
However, a change in market dynamics due to the entry of global players
post liberalisation led to increased competition and low profitability for
KNPL. Consequently, the company, in 2000, increased its focus on the
decorative paints segment to offset the weakness in the industrial paint
segment. Moreover, to build its brand equity/product portfolio in the
decorative segment, KNPL ramped up its distribution network/supply
chain and focused on R&D and innovation.
Currently, KNPL is third largest player in the decorative paint segment
(55% of sales) with a market share of ~11% the company has undertaken
several initiatives to drive market share gains in the segment.
Over the past 15 years, KNPL has created a unique eco-friendly branding
healthy home paints under Nerolac. Further, the launch of lead-free paints
in 2006 and low VOC products, ahead of competition, differentiated
KNPLs product offerings.

Five years back, KNPLs industrial margins were higher than decorative
margins as contribution from high-margin emulsion sales was low. In the
past 5-6 years, the company has increased its share of emulsion products
to 35% of decorative paint sales (from ~8-10%) Enamel accounts for 30%
while low-margin distemper now accounts for only ~10-12% of decorative
paint sales. With improvement in the overall product mix, KNPL improved
its decorative margins, thus partially offsetting the weakness in the
profitability of the industrial segment.

Financial overview
Gross margin expansion to continue through H1FY17
KNPLs revenue growth/profitability is cyclical in nature versus peers given
the companys higher revenue contribution from the industrial segment.
Further, despite improvement in the decorative segment, KNPLs average
gross margins declined to ~33% from ~37% in FY05-10, largely impacted by
weakness in the industrial segment.
For KNPL, 55-60% of its raw materials are crude linked and titanium
dioxide accounts for 10% of the total raw material cost. In the past five
quarters, the benefit of lower crude oil prices and a pick-up in the
passenger car segment have resulted in sharper gross margin expansion
(630bp in Q3FY16 to ~38.9%). With benign titanium oxide prices and crude
oil remaining at steady US$40-45 levels, we expect the gross margin
expansion trajectory to continue through H1FY17.

Q1FY15

Q2FY16 Q3FY16
Given the B2B nature of the industrial business, customers are likely to
demand lower pricing in an environment of deflation. Hence a
disproportionate increase in industrial margins is unlikely. Analysing
APNTs financials, we understand that the difference in industrial and
decorative gross margins can be as high as 800bp (difference between
standalone and JV profitability) with decorative margins being higher.
Hence, we believe that KNPL will do well to hold on to the gross margins
achieved in FY16. We factor in no expansion in gross margins for KNPL
over FY16-18E. Any improvement will only be a function of improved mix
of decorative paints versus industrial paints, only if industrial margins
remain healthy.

KNPLs FY11-15 standalone revenue CAGR stood at 13.5%, lower versus that
for APNT and Berger, largely on weakness in the industrial/automotive
paint segments. These segments account for ~45% of KNPLs sales. With
steady growth in automotive demand and MSIL (a key client), and inflation
led price increases, we expect KNPLs sales trajectory to improve. Further,
increased contribution from the decorative segment could act as a key
trigger (though a challenge given the strength of the top two players). We
estimate revenues to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% over FY16-18E.

In rationalisation mode
NEUTRAL
Akzo Nobel India (Akzo), despite its strong parentage, has remained a
distant number four player in the domestic paints market with just ~11%
market share. Given the companys limited decorative range and its
current focus to rationalise the portfolio, we expect Akzos growth to
continue to lag peers. Consequently, we expect the company to post
just 13% earnings CAGR (19%/30% for APNT/Berger) over FY16-18E.
Though Akzo trades at a 20-25% discount to peers, we do not expect
this gap to reduce until growth visibility and operational metrics
improve. We initiate coverage on Akzo with Neutral rating and a DCFbased target price of Rs1,442.

INITIATING COVERAGE
INVESTMENT ARGUMENT
Akzo Nobel India, a 73% subsidiary of Akzo Nobel, remains a distant
number four player in the Indian paints industry.
In the past two years, focus on improving profitability led to market
share losses to the top-three players. We expect this trend to
continue for Akzo until it achieves its stated 12% EBITDA margin
target.
We find Akzos premium positioning in the decorative paints segment
attractive. Also, the company is on track to achieve its profitability
target over FY16-18E, led by rationalisation of its portfolio.
However, Akzos inability to successfully leverage its parents
portfolio and a higher industrial mix are key concerns.
We believe Akzos steep 27% valuation discount to APNT is warranted
given the companys subdued growth visibility and inferior
operational metrics. We initiate coverage with Neutral and DCF target
price of Rs1,442.

Akzo Nobel is present in over 80 countries, with ~200 production sites and
leadership in many markets. Two-thirds of its revenues are from the
coatings business, with one-third coming in from the specialty chemicals
business. In spite of its strong parentage, however, the India entity is only
the fourth largest coatings company in the country. Revenue-wise, the
company is just one-fifth the size of the largest player, APNT.

Since then, the focus has shifted to improving profitability, which is more a
global mandate now. Consequently, EBITDA margin improved to 10.3% in
FY15 and we expect it to rise to 11.3% in FY16. The managements target is
to achieve 12% EBITDA margins by FY18 and Akzo is likely to give up some
revenue growth to improve its product mix and gross margins. We believe,
for a distant number four player, achieving ahead-of-industry revenue
growth without conceding on profitability is likely to be a challenge. Over
the next 18-24 months, Akzos revenue growth should lag peers as focus
continues on profit improvement.

In FY13 and FY14, Akzo paid dividends of Rs80 and Rs75/share (170% and
230% dividend pay-out ratio) as cash pile had moved up to Rs9.5bn. In
FY15, however, the dividend payout normalised to 50%. We believe excess
cash can be utilised for: 1) a special dividend component, as was the case
in FY13/14 and 2) acquisitions. Acquisition targets in the decorative
segment are hard to find, but the industrial segment could offer some
opportunities (indigenous players that have created a niche in specific
segments).

About 30-35% of Akzos raw material is crude linked and titanium dioxide
constitutes 13% of its total raw material consumed. Currently, titanium
dioxide prices are marginally lower versus last year levels. Further, the
benefits of lower RM prices have reflected in improved gross margins for
the industry and Akzo from Q3FY15. Assuming that crude oil prices stay at
current levels of US$40/bbl and led by continued rationalisation (to
improve mix), we expect gross margin expansion to sustain. Consequently,
we factor in 20bp gross margin expansion over FY16-18E.

Financial analysis
Revenue growth to pick up but still lag peers
Akzos FY13-16E revenue CAGR stood at 6.7%, 500bp lower than the
average for top-three paint companies in India, mainly due to lacklustre
volume CAGR (estimated at sub 2% over FY13-16E). However, we expect
volume growth to pick up in in the next two years (~6% volume CAGR in
FY16-18E) on three years of low base, lower rationalisation intensity and
benefits from macro injections. This would translate into 10.5% revenue
CAGR over the period. However, we believe growth will continue to lag
peers till the portfolio rationalisation is complete. Given Akzos recent track
record, we do not expect upsides to our revenue growth estimates.

Akzo has been in rationalisation mode ever since all the Indian entities
were merged together. We believe lack of volume growth visibility
(assuming 5-6% volume growth in FY16-18E), market share loss, lower
EBITDA margin and inferior return ratios justify the significant P/E
discount for Akzo versus peers. Our DCF target price is Rs1,442, implying
25.5x P/E on FY18E earnings. We believe this valuation discount (20-25%
to peers) is justified. An improvement in volumes, market share and
profitability are re-rating triggers until these play out, we initiate with
Neutral.
