De Longhi has rapidly caught up with the market performance this year,
but we believe there is still value in the stock, given its high competitive
quality and sound growth profile. We expect 3Y CAGRs of 15% in EPS
and 25% in FCF, supported by the growth outlook for small appliances
worldwide, the company’s premium positioning and the additional
contribution expected from Braun. We raise our TP from EUR13.5 to
EUR16.5 and confirm our Buy rating.

Premium niche leader
De Longhi is a global leader in the production and distribution of small
domestic appliances. It operates through four well-established brands: De
Longhi, Kenwood, Ariete and Braun. It is market leader in coffee makers and
food preparation machines in Western Europe, with market shares of 30%
and 20% respectively, and world leader (ex-US/China) in coffee machines,
with 32% of the market (it was 21% five years ago). Its strategic focus is on
the premium niche: half of sales come from the top price quartile of the
market. This is supported by A&P spend of 9-10% of sales. Two-thirds of
production comes from China, and two-thirds of sales from Europe.
Braun addition is a transformational deal
De Longhi bought a perpetual licence for the Braun brand from P&G, for
home care products only. It was consolidated at the beginning of last year.
Thanks to its strong brand awareness and the measures taken by De Longhi
(new products, new markets and an A&P push), Braun is expected to deliver
a 27% 3Y CAGR in sales and contribute half the group’s additional EBITDA.
Sound growth ahead: 3Y CAGR of 15% in EPS and 25% in FCF
We see global demand for small domestic appliances growing in the midhigh single digits in the foreseeable future. De Longhi is expected to deliver
3Y CAGRs in 2014-16 of 10% in EBITDA, 15% in EPS and 25% in FCF. Our
new estimates (EPS cut by 5% for 2013 and 7% for 2014-15) factor in a
higher FX drag: EUR15m on EBITDA this year, after EUR22m last year.
Buy confirmed – TP up from EUR13.5 to EUR16.5
FCF generation is the key positive here. De Longhi has already digested the
Braun deal (priced at EUR221m) and it is set to turn cash-positive this year.
We expect EBITDA conversion into FCF at close to 40% in 2014-16E.
Current valuation is not compelling, as the stock has caught up with the
market performance since the beginning of February. However, we believe
that visibility on earnings momentum and cash generation is fairly high. Our
rolled-over DCF now yields a TP of EUR16.5 (from EUR13.5), based on
higher cash flow growth and lower cost of equity. Buy confirmed.

De Longhi
Target price change
Quality: premium niche leader
With its four SDA brands (De Longhi, Kenwood and Ariete owned; Braun under
licence), De Longhi is market leader in coffee makers and kitchen machines in
Western Europe, with market shares of 30% and 20% respectively, and world
leader (ex-US/China) in coffee makers, with 32% of the market, versus 21% five
years ago. Its premium position (half of sales in top price quartile) is supported by
A&P spend at 9-10% of sales.
Focus on small domestic appliances…
De Longhi is a global leading player in the production and distribution (almost entirely
wholesale) of small domestic appliances (SDA), operating through four brands:

De Longhi (57% of sales in 2013, in our estimates): under the family name brand,
the company produces and distributes coffee makers (bean-to-cup, espresso, filter
coffee, combi, grinders, Nespresso and Nescafé systems), kitchen machines (deep
fryers, electric ovens, kettles, toasters, ice-cream makers), air conditioning systems
(with the Pinguino brand), heating products (oil-filled radiators, convectors, fan and
ceramic heaters), dehumidifiers and ironing products. Coffee (the new successful
venture started at the beginning of ‘00s, at the heart of the investment case)
represents about 55% of De Longhi brand’s sales, Nespresso 20%.

Kenwood (30%): under the UK brand bought in May 2001 (via a PTO), De Longhi
produces and distributes kitchen machines (food mixers and processors) and
various other appliances for food preparation (blenders, hand blenders, hand
mixers, kettles, toasters, coffee makers, bread makers, ice-cream makers, food
slicers, electric knives). Kitchen machines currently represent 54% of Kenwood’s
sales, while hand blenders are the main remaining item, with 8% of the total.

Ariete (4%): under the Italian brand bought by Kenwood in 1995, De Longhi
produces and distributes kitchen machines and food preparation appliances
(ovens, electric grills, blenders, hand blenders, centrifuges, squeezers, choppers,
electric graters, electric mills, beaters, toasters, bread makers, ice-cream and
yoghurt makers), along with house cleaning, ironing and personal care products.

Braun (9%): under the perpetual license for the German brand bought from P&G in
September 2012 (only for homecare products, excluding personal care), De Longhi
produces and distributes hand blenders (50% of Braun’s sales 2013, in our
estimates), steam irons (15%) and other kitchen appliances (food preparation units,
basic “drip” coffee makers, kettles and juicers, for the remaining 35%). There are
two main overlaps between the brands’ product offering, namely with Kenwood in
hand blenders and De Longhi in steam irons. Braun may take the lead in both, in
light of its stronger positioning.
De Longhi is a typical Italian family-run business (De Longhi family owns 67% of the share
capital, after an 8% stake placement of 16 November 2012, at EUR9.50), which has become
a niche global champion. Notably, it is also an example of successful generational
succession, a key issue for this kind of company. Today, the CEO is Fabio De Longhi (46),
the son of the founder, Giuseppe De Longhi (74), the Chairman of the company.

The company’s origins go back to the beginning of last century, when the De Longhi family
was active in the production of wood-burning stoves. In the 1950s, it was organised as a

structured entrepreneurial activity, focused on the production of components for domestic
heating systems. The De Longhi brand first became known in 1970s, when Giuseppe De
Longhi’s company started selling the first finished products, mobile oil radiators, initially
manufactured by third parties, then internally produced from 1975. In 1980, the De Longhi
brand was registered and the internationalisation process kicked off. The company rapidly
became the global leader in mobile heating systems, after successfully entering the US and
Japanese markets.
In 1985-87, De Longhi embarked on a diversification process, which enlarged its product

offering to air conditioning and treatment systems as well as small appliances for cooking.
In the following few years, the company made some acquisitions to enlarge and reinforce
its production structure and started building up a direct distribution network (first step in
the UK, in 1986).
In 1992, De Longhi launched its first machines for espresso coffee, adding the second big

leg to its business portfolio. Then in 2007, it started working as a partner of Nestle for the
distribution of Nespresso’s coffee machines.
Under the current structure, De Longhi SpA is the result of the spinoff of the professional
business (professional air treatment plants and radiators, incorporated into listed DeLclima

SpA) from the old group, which now only includes the household business (small domestic
appliances). The spinoff project was approved on 21 July 2011 and took effect on 1 January
2012. It was aimed at allowing the two equity stories to become clearer, enhancing the
equity value of both companies.

De Longhi was the best-performing stock on the Italian stock exchange in the five years
following the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy (from 15 September 2008 to 28 August 2013),
with a total return of 450%, followed by Banca Generali, Tod’s, Txt, Azimut and Brembo.

In terms of the divisional breakdown of sales 2013 (not disclosed yet), kitchen and coffee

Historically, the coffee business was just a small activity for De Longhi, representing 7% of
sales in 2001, then the distribution agreement with Nespresso led the segment to 24% of
sales in 2007 and proprietary cappuccino makers (Nespresso-De’ Longhi “Lattissima”) and
fully automatic machines (branded De Longhi) led it up further to 39% in 2012. In our
estimates for last year, on top of a flattish trend of the company’s sales, coffee decreased to
36% of the total, mostly as a result of the overall mix rebalancing following the addition of
Braun, which just has a small presence in the activity. At the same time, over this period,
cooking machines went from 45% of the total in 2001 to 43% last year, portable air
conditioning and heating systems from 29% to 12% and ironing and cleaning systems from
15% to 6%.

In our estimates, Nespresso represents 32% of De Longhi’s coffee sales (and 12% of the
group’s total sales). This is equally split between coffee makers produced by third parties,
and the “Lattissima” cappuccino maker produced by De Longhi.
Much more important is the contribution of fully automatic machines, representing 47% of
coffee sales (and 17% of the group’s total sales).

The geographical sales mix has not significantly changed over the last three years, as
Europe remained at around two-thirds of the total in 2013 as in 2010. As for the last year’s
trend, it must be taken into account that: 1) currency was a drag in a number of countries,
like the UK (the pound has fallen by 4% YOY versus the euro), Russia (RUB -6%), Australia
(AUD -10%), the US (USD -3%) and Japan (JPY -21%); 2) Braun, consolidated on 1 January,
mostly benefited the Middle East (UAE), Germany/Switzerland/Austria and eastern
European markets.

Geo-mix was stable over
last three years
De Longhi
Target price change
Two-thirds of production from China
In terms of production, De Longhi seems to favour a “make” rather than a “buy” strategy.
More “make” than “buy”
The bulk of the high-end production sold under the group’s brand names is internalised.
The only exceptions are the coffee makers produced for Nespresso and Dolcegusto
partnerships (while the cappuccino maker Lattissima is fully internally produced), which are
outsourced by Nestle to third-party OEMs (2+1) and then supplied to De Longhi.
Conversely, low-end production is outsourced to small external producers, which work
according to De Longhi’s specifications and use the moulds it provides.
Currently, measured on COGS, around 50% of the group’s internal production is based in
65% of COGS in China…
Italy and the remaining 50% is in China. Accordingly, 65% of total production, insourced
and outsourced, comes from China. De Longhi directly entered China in 2001 with the
acquisition of Kenwood, which was already producing there (in Dongguan). This was
followed by a massive delocalisation campaign in 2005, aimed at generating significant cost
savings. De Longhi was among the first movers to proceed in this direction, taking a tough
but essential step forward to preserve its competitiveness.
It must be noted here that China also poses risks, in the form of the currency risk related to
the USD-peg (periodically tightening or easing) and the cost inflation risk related to the
…posing currency and
wage inflation risks
current wage trend (that more than tripled from 2003 to 2013).
This is also why De Longhi bought a new plant in Romania (Cluji) from Nokia in Q1 2012, for
a total of EUR40m. The plant started operating at the beginning of last year, with a
production cost of one-quarter that of Italy, and double that of China. It will be dedicated to

coffee makers (starting from four lines for the assembly of super-automatic machines, this
year), adding new capacity to the highly specialised state-of-the-art Italian plant
(Mignagola), as well as other productions that are currently outsourced, including Braun
products (today Braun outsources its entire product range, the only exception being the
electric engines for Minipimer handblenders, produced in Germany).

Leading position in coffee and kitchen
According to the company’s indications, based on quite large market panels, De Longhi is
world leader in six SDA segments: espresso coffee (with the De Longhi brand), food
preparation and kitchen machines (Kenwood, De Longhi and Braun), as well as a more
specific niche of handblenders (Braun), oil-filled radiators and portable air conditioning
systems (De Longhi).

the big players are well diversified into different segments and/or regions. Economies of

retailers are the main sales drivers (via both volumes and prices), making multi-product and

De Longhi differentiates itself through its tight focus on premium segment. This is reflected
by the sales split by price. As shown in the following chart, in 2012 (the latest available

It is worth comparing De Longhi with its main competitor, French Groupe SEB, which is the
leader in the SDA market worldwide – and is listed as well. In 2013, SEB’s sales were up
2.5% YOY at current and 5.4% at constant forex. Europe (ex-France), North America and
Asia/Pacific (mostly China) were positive, while Russia has been negative since H2.

There’s more growth in SDA than LDA. Innovation is the key driver for such

domestic appliances (SDA), competition is tough – played on product innovation, pricing
and distribution (as a premium player, De Longhi competes on product differentiation:
quality and innovation), but demand appears to be more resilient or growing faster here
than in large domestic appliances (LDA).
One of the main reasons for this, mostly with regard to developed (mature) markets, is
related to the relatively smaller weight of replacement demand, which accounts for slightly
more than half of the total in LDA. Due to much lower penetration and much lower unit

status-related products.
This is reflected in the different performances of the two markets in a mature areas like

De Longhi’s entrance into the business was a good move, through the acquisition of
Kenwood in the UK in 2001 (GBP46m PTO). Since then, the company has taken full
advantage of a fast-growing market: sales of the Kenwood brand (excluding Ariete)
reached GBP120m in 2001 and GBP360m in 2012, implying an 11% 11-year CAGR.

Global demand for kitchen machines has enjoyed sustained growth (in the teens) for years

With regard to the coffee and kitchen segments, De Longhi is certainly exposed to a nicely

future, as in both sectors consumer demand seems to be driven by structural underlying

drivers, which are substantially related to changing habits (in favour of espresso coffee and
cooking at home) and status-related consumption (small appliances are fashionable
gadgets). However, the growth potential of the business should not be exaggerated. In
terms of the group's sales over the next three years, we believe 4-5% annual organic
growth is a reasonable assumption (the addition of Braun should allow the company to do
better). This takes into some account that:

Competition is getting tougher (new entrants, e.g. Breville as the second
authorised distributor of Nespresso in Australia since last year).

Innovation moves fast (new products, e.g. new coffee machine launched by
Nespresso in the US this year, VertuoLine, for both drip and espresso).

Trade relationships are becoming increasingly demanding (online is an additional
opportunity and a threat at the same time - management of both is a complex
issue).
In such a competitive environment, De Longhi's business model looks solid, which should
allow the company to continue to nicely perform. Key strengths are a strategic focus on the
premium segment, four well-established brands (De Longhi, Kenwood, Ariete and Braun),
internal production of top-end products (cappuccino maker Lattissima and fully automatic
espresso coffee makers), direct control of expertise (milk frothing system patent for
Lattissima).
We expect the company to remain a winner in the sector worldwide.

The Braun addition
The Braun deal is transformational for De Longhi. One of the most popular brands in the
SDA field globally is now in the hands of one of the leading SDA players, whose tight focus
Braun (licence) bought
end-2012
on premium niche and large international network should be of help in enhancing the
brand’s performance. The deal was finalised at end-2012, and Braun’s results have been
consolidated since 1 January 2013.
On 16 April 2013, De Longhi announced a perpetual licensing agreement for German brand
Braun with P&G for small kitchen machines, ironing systems and selected household
appliances. Braun's personal care products were excluded (male dry shaving, female
Perpetual licensing
agreement for home
care products
electric hair removal, oral care, hair care and beautronics). This is why P&G retained
ownership of the brand, as it is still running the personal care business (with sales four
times larger than in home care). De Longhi has a right of first refusal if the personal care
business is ever put up for sale.
De Longhi also acquired patents and expertise connected with the home care business, the
inventory related to the relevant product categories, a few productive assets (production
lines and moulds) and 120 employees in Germany (80 working in R&D and marketing and
40 in the production of electric engines for Minipimer handblenders).
On 31 August, after the completion of the authorisation process and the fulfilment of other
conditions, the finalisation of the deal was announced and took effect from 1 September.
Consolidated from 1
January 2013
The new activity was consolidated by De Longhi from 1 January 2013.
The transaction value amounts to EUR221m, split as follows:

EUR50m paid when the deal took effect, on 1 September 2012.

EUR45m paid for the inventory bought in 2012 (EUR12m) and 2013 (the total
amount was just indicated in EUR40-50m range, we assume the midpoint).

EUR93m fully paid on 31 December 2012, in a single payment (while it was
originally agreed that the payment would be split over 15 years, in constant annual
instalments, including accrued interests).

A variable earn-out sum depending on Braun's sales performance in the first five
years following the deal (in two instalments calculated on the basis of Braun's
result in the first three and the following two years). The total amount cannot
exceed EUR122m. The NPV of this amount was written down from EUR64m at the
end of 2012 to EUR33m now.
The EUR221m EV is also the equity value, as no debt was involved in the transaction. This
implies a 7.4x EBITDA 2015E multiple (the first year at full tilt for Braun). The deal was not

value

overpaid in our view, also in consideration of its substantial strategic relevance.
Braun is a transformational deal for De Longhi, as it is a widely known and well-recognised
brand worldwide (with a German premium perception). Braun preserved its brand
awareness, even though under P&G it was not present in some of the major markets
worldwide, like the UK, France, the US, Australia, Japan and Latam. It also seems –
according to company surveys – that Braun is associated not only with product categories
it actually sells, but even with products it does not.

the EUR160-170m early-2013 guidance, mostly due to the weaker-than-expected
performance in Russia (due to commercial issues on pricing and weak currency).
In 2005, the last year under Gillette (bought by P&G), we estimate Braun generated sales of
around EUR450, which could be regarded as a reasonable reference, implicitly as a longterm target, to measure its potential at full steam.

New products, new countries: in 2014, it will enter markets in the UK, France and possibly
Australia, with handblenders and steam irons (among the strongest products in current
New products, new
countries
Braun's portfolio) plus a couple of new kitchen lines (with new design). In 2015, De Longhi
will address the US market with a new full-range Braun offer, and will also introduce
ironing systems all across regions.
Repositioning (A&P and R&D): De Longhi will implement an abmitious advertising and
promotion strategy for Braun as well, the same strategy it adopts for all its brands (it
Repositioning (A&P and
R&D)
successfully adopted this strategy for Kenwood following its acquisition in 2001). Braun's
A&P spending could amount to 15% of sales in 2014 and remain at least at 10% over the
next two years. Also, R&D expenses, aimed at fuelling innovation, could be above the
group's average, at 5-6% of the brand's sales in the period.
Insourcing (Romania): Braun currently outsources its entire supply, except only for engines
Insourcing (Romania)
for Minipimer handblenders. Part of this supply could be gradually insourced, located in the
group's new Romanian plant. This should give a small additional boost to the group's
margins, via stronger operating leverage. As there is no disclosure from the company about
the insourcing programme, we assume about one third of the total supply could be
insourced over the next 2-3 years.
In our estimates, this could translate into a 27% sales CAGR 2014-16E and almost 7x
EBITDA over the period, with the margin reaching the level we expect for De Longhi's pre-
A 27% sales CAGR over
2014-16E
Braun perimeter at the end of the period (15.5% in 2016E).
The following table summarises Braun’s and De Longhi's old perimeter contribution to the
group's expected performance. Braun is expected to contribute 42% and 50% to the
cumulated increase in group sales and EBITDA over 2014-16E; quite a significant addition.

Estimates review: 2014-15 EPS cut by 7% due to forex
We have cut our sales estimate for 2014-15 by 2%, the same as the gap between our
estimate and reported sales for 2013 (out on 31 January), lowered our EBITDA and EBIT
EPS cut by 5% for 2013
and 7% for 2014-15…
estimates by 2% for 2013, and by 3% for 2014-15. EPS is cut by 5% for 2013 and 7% for
2014-15. This is entirely due to higher forex headwinds now in sight.
The currency devaluation versus the euro is not over, with regard to the RUB, USD, AUD,
...entirely due to FX
JPY (the only exception being the strengthening GBP). We have to factor in a further
devaluation, as implied by the current forex level, projected over the full year (assumed as a
FY 2014 average). Basically, the currency drag we expected for H1 (taking into account
forex turbulence that emerged last summer) is now set to extend into H2. The EUR8m
lower EBITDA we now forecast for this year is entirely connected to higher currency
headwinds (based on the same EBITDA/sales as last year: we estimate EUR22/EUR50m for
2013 and EUR15/EUR30m for 2014).

FY 2013 results preview: margins diluted by Braun, FX
De Longhi reported preliminary sales for Q4/FY 2013 on 31 January. Full results are due to
be released on 10 March.
Sales were +7% YOY to EUR1,633m in the FY (1.5% below our EUR1,655m and consensus
EUR1,658m), after +10% in Q4 to EUR595m.
At constant currency, sales were up 10% in FY 2013 and 15% in Q4 2013. The currency
drag amounted to EUR50m in FY 2013, as a consequence of the main currencies’
FY 2013 results out on
10 March
Sales already reported,
+7% YOY…
…or +10% at constant
FX
devaluation versus euro: GBP -4% YOY (representing about 8% of sales), USD -3% (c. 7%),
AUD -10% (c. 7%), RUB -6% (7%) and JPY -21% (2%).
We estimate Bran’s sales contribution (not disclosed) at EUR145m in FY 2013, after
EUR145m from Braun
EUR55m in Q4. This reflects the typically high seasonality of the SDA business in Q4 2013
(sustained by the Christmas season), which we expect to be stronger than the EUR25EUR35m-EUR30m seen in 9M 2013.
Net of the Braun addition, we estimate De Longhi’s old perimeter at EUR1,488m sales in FY
2013 and EUR540m in Q4 2013, respectively -2.8% and -0.3% YOY LFL. The organic
performance gradually improved along the year: -7.0% in Q1, -3.5% in Q2, -2.1% in Q3 and
-0.3% expected in Q4. This was the result of the improving performance in Europe
(reported at +17% in Q4 2013), both western and eastern Europe, even though the latter
was hit by mismanagement issues and following the reorganisation in Russia (in Q3 2013).

As for earnings, we expect margins to be slightly down YOY, as a consequence of the
dilution produced by Braun (assumed at 5.0% margin in FY 2013, versus 15.0% for De
Margins diluted by
Braun and FX
Longhi’s old perimeter) and the currency burden (assumed at EUR22m). We expect the
group’s adjusted EBITDA to be down by 1% YOY and EBIT down 2%. Net profit could
decrease further, down 7% YOY, due to higher bills for currency hedging (EUR4m) as well
as a higher tax rate (by 190bp to 25.0%).

Sales estimates by region
Our sales estimates for this year and the next three (split by country/region) are
7% sales 3Y CAGR
summarised in the following table. We project a 3Y group sales CAGR of 7%.
Our estimates are based on the assumption that 4-5% is the normal organic annual pace of
the SDA business globally and De Longhi is poised to perform at least in line with the
market. Braun’s additional sales are mostly in the UK, France and Australia in 2014 and the
US in 2015. Current forex levels are taken as a proxy of the 2014-16 averages. We assume
a currency drag of EUR30m and EUR15m for sales and EBITDA in 2014.

Sound FCF generation
De Longhi
Target price change
Valuation: more upside ahead
We assume 5% long-term growth in sales and a 14% sustainable EBIT margin.
Based on slightly faster cash flow growth in the long run and lower cost of equity
(9% from 10%, reflecting a lower equity risk premium and free-risk rate on Italian
stocks), our DCF now yields a TP f EUR16.5 versus EUR13.5 previously. Upside is
14%. We confirm our Buy rating.
DCF: EUR16.50 (our new TP)
We value De Longhi using a DCF model (rolled over), based on the following assumptions:

Sales growth in the "second-stage" period 2017-23E of 5.0% (sustainable organic
growth, as we determined above). Global demand drivers, which are structural in
coffee and kitchen businesses, should remain at work.

EBIT margin expanding from 13.0% of 2016E up to 14.0% of 2019E, then stable for
the following years. Operating leverage is set to gradually increase, along with
progressive insourcing at the Romanian plant.

Cash flow long-term CAGR lifted from 7% to 8% (on D&A and WC fine-tuning).

Capex above the maintenance level, currently indicated at EUR40-50m by the
company. We assume capex at 3% of sales over 2014-23E.

WACC of 9.0% - from previous 10% – intended just as a cost of equity, based on
slightly squeezed risk free and risk premiums, both at 4.5%, reflecting Italy’s
generally increasing appeal (lower risk perceived).
DCF yields EUR16.50,
our new TP (EUR13.50)
Our DCF valuation yields EUR16.50 per share, which is our new TP (up from EUR13.50).

Relative valuation:

fears about European recession and slower the expected integration of Braun started
undermining the stock’s performance). Currently, De Longhi is re-rating again, due to SEB’s
weak performance connected with higher than expected currency headwinds.
