Valuation Assessment

Alok Industries Limited (Alok), promoted by the Jiwrajka family, is a vertically
integrated leading textile manufacturer having presence across the value chain from
cotton spinning, polyester yarn, apparel fabrics, home textiles and garments
manufacturing to retailing of garments and accessories. The company has 16
manufacturing plants located at Silvasa, Vapi and Navi Mumbai.

Besides textile operations in India, Alok holds 100% stake in ‘Mileta a.s.’, an integrated
textile company with established distribution network in Czech Republic. On
completion of the recently approved merger with ‘Grabal Alok Impex Limited’, Alok
would hold ~90% stake in ‘Grabal Alok (UK) Limited’ - a garments and accessories
retailing chain having 219 stores across England, Scotland and Wales. Besides, Alok
has also made one time investments into commercial and residential real estate
business through its wholly owned subsidiary, ‘Alok Infrastructure Limited’. Although
the retail investments of the company may take time to yield results, we expect the
company to actively monetize its investments in real estate business to improve the
capital structure and the return indicators over the medium term.

While the near term outlook for the domestic textile industry remains uncertain due to renewed fears of global
economic slowdown, volatility in cotton prices and exchange rate fluctuations; we expect the large diversified players
like Alok to be better placed due to integrated operations and relatively strong domestic business. Alok’s textile
operations are vertically integrated with in-house spinning, weaving, knitting, designing, processing and garmenting
units making it one of the few large scale organised players in India. For its apparel fabrics and home textiles segment,
backward integration into manufacturing of cotton yarn (spinning) and in-house processing of grey fabric for fashion
wear / technical textiles has enabled the company to garner higher operating margins. Apart from presence across the
cotton value chain, the company also has presence in synthetic fibre through its polyester texturising capacity,
backwardly integration into Partially Oriented Yarn (POY). Further, large scale of operations enables procurement
efficiency through bulk raw material purchases and diversified client base enables stable demand and better
realizations even during uncertain times.
Capacity expansions and strong domestic consumption demand could result in healthy revenue growth;
Improving capacity utilisation / asset turnover and focus on value-added products to maintain profitability
Alok is currently undergoing capacity expansions accoss its spinning, apparel fabric and home textiles segments.
Besides, we expect the company to aggressively expand its polyester yarn capacity from ~200,000 MTPA in FY11 to
~500,000 MTPA in FY12e and ~900,000 MTPA in FY14e; inorder to leverage upon the rapidly increasing manmade
fibre demand due to limited land availability for cultivation of natural fibres, high dependence on agro-climatic
conditions and higher domestic spending in the price sensitive rural markets. As a result, polyester division will
emerge as the largest revenue contributor for Alok with revenues increasing from 25% of Alok’s overall sales in FY11
to 42% of sales in FY14e. Overall, aggressive capacity expansions across business segments (more so in polyester
division) along with continuing strong domestic consumption demand are expected to result in a healthy 28% CAGR
in the consolidated revenues for the company over the FY11-FY14e period.

Although the company has industry leading operating margins, the company plans to further improve capacity
utilizations and optimise product portfolio by focusing on higher value-added products such as yarn-dyed fabrics and
technical textiles. Yarn-dyed fabrics are used in fashionable shirting / womenswear and command better prices than
its current range of products, while technical textiles owing to their specialised nature carry higher margins than the
conventional textiles. Besides, competition is relatively moderate in the technical textiles segment as there are few
established domestic players in this import dependent segment. In polyester yarn segment, Alok’s fresh capacity
additions are aimed at higher value-added yarns such as cationic, dope-dyed, bright and black-dyed yarns. Overall,
despite the steep correction in raw material prices, we expect the company to maintain ~34% EBITDA margins in
apparel fabrics, ~28% in home textiles and ~18% polyester segments. With increasing contributions from polyester
business, overall EBITDA margins are expected to decline by ~4% over the next three years, although the return
indicators are expected to improve considerably due to higher asset turnover and RoCEs in polyester segment.
Potential exit from the non-core businesses (Real Estate & Retail) could improve capital structure; return
indicators to get futher fillip from with increasing contribution from polyester segment
Alok had entered the real estate business and invested ~Rs. 1,500 crore in FY07 to take advantage of the real estate
boom witnessed during 2004-2008. These investments however did not yield desired results and the management is
now pursuing monetisation of these investments and exit the real estate business to improve the capital structure of
the company going forward. Besides, the retail ventures (‘H&A’ & ‘Store Twenty One’) too being B2C businesses have
different and complex business models from Alok’s core spinning, weaving, processing based B2B businesses. These
investments, although require significant management time and energy, currently contribute little to the overall
profitability. Hence, the management may look at exiting the retail ventures too at an appropriate time, inorder to
improve the financial profile and focus on the core profitable businesses of apparel fabrics, home textiles and
polyester yarn. Besides, the large capital expenditures incurred across segments over past five years are expected to
stabilize and improve the return indicators for the company going forward. Again, the overall return indicators are
expected to improve with increasing contribution from polyester segment, as the latter is less working capital
intensive and higher asset turnover (~2.5 times) in comparison to cotton based businesses (~0.5 times).

Competition remains intense across segments; international competition could worsen incase of renewed
economic slowdown
In the apparel fabric segment, Alok is present in mid to premium segment where price competition pressures remain
high owing to fragmented nature of industry and consumer price consciousness in the domestic markets. In the home
textiles segment, Alok is mainly present in the exports markets (>95% revenues) where it continues to face stiff
competition from Chinese manufacturers with higher economies of scale and from manufacturers based out of other
low cost destinations like Pakistan. In the polyester yarn segment, domestically the company faces competition from
larger and fully integrated players like Reliance Industries; while internationally Alok faces stiff competition from
chinese manufacturers that account for close to 70% of global production capacity. While increasing domestic
demand, rising finance cost and reducing labour cost arbitrage in China are likely to aid long-term prospects for
leading Indian manufacturers like Alok; faultering global economic growth and weakening discretionary spendings
could intensify competitive pressures due to lower capacity utilizations over the near term.

Alok’s board of directors have recently approved the
proposal for amalgamation of Grabal Alok Impex Limited
(GAlok),
engaged in manufacturing wide range of
embroidered fabrics. GAlok had reported ~Rs. 235 crore
revenues with ~21% EBITDA margins in FY11. Besides,
since GAlok holds 48.7% in Grabal Alok (UK) Limited
(GAUKL), Alok’s effective shareholding in this UK based
retail chain will increase from ~41.3% to ~90%, making it a
subsidiary of Alok Industries.
We expect the consolidatation of GAUKL to adversely impact
the financials of Alok industries in near term, as the retail
chain has recently achieved EBITDA breakeven and is yet to
breakeven at net profit levels. Considering the weak outlook
for retail sales in UK, we have assumed ~9% revenue growth
and ~4% EBITDA margins for GAUKL in FY12e. Overall, the
merger is expected to reduce the consolidated EBITDA
margins by ~2.5% and weaken the capital structure by
additional debt burden of ~Rs. 600 crore, in the near term.

Valuation seems quite attractive even after factoring the near term headwinds
Despite the near term headwinds faced by the textile industry, Alok’s current valuation multiples (~3.3 times FY12
earnings, ~0.43 times FY12 book value) seems quite attractive considering Alok’s integrated and diversified business
model with lower dependence on textile exports. The valuation multiples are are expected to further moderate
rapidly from the FY12e levels due to strong earnings growth over the next three years contributed by large capacity
additions and improvement in the capital structure through exit from non-core businesses. Overall, we expect the
company to report a robust 28% CAGR revenue growth and 36% CAGR EPS growth over the FY11a-FY14e period,
aided by robust capacity expansions and healthy domestic consumuption demand going forward. Hence, we assign a
valuation grade of “A” to Alok on a grading scale of ‘A’ to ‘E’, which indicates that the company is “significantly
undervalued” on a relative basis.

Alok Industries Limited
Spinning / Cotton Trading Divison
Snapshot:
 Alok’s Cotton Spinning business has lower revenue contribution (~9% in FY11a) as 80-85% cotton yarn
manufactured is utilized for captive consumption by the fabric and home textiles divisions of the company.
 Alok has the largest spinning facility in India at a single location (Silvassa); further capacity expansion planned
from 343,840 to 441,840 spindles (58,750 tons) and 3,792 to 5,424 rotors (20,210 tons) in FY12 to support
expansions at the in-house weaving and knitting capacities in the fabric and home textiles segment
 Procurement of raw cotton in bulk and during harvest remains crucial to the division’s overall profitability; steep
volatility in cotton prices driven by global demand-supply scenario could squeeze operating margins
 Cotton Trading business remains opportunistic as it gains from temperory mispricings in the market, however
EBIDTA margin remain lower due to the trading nature of business
Lower revenue contribution as 80 to 85% of cotton yarn produced is used for captive consumption; EBIDTA
margins lowered by cotton trading activity
Alok has an in-house spinning unit for cotton yarn, which not only mitigates the risk of reliance on outside supplier
but also enhances margins through the value chain. Besides, the division also trades in raw cotton and cotton yarn to
leverage upon the managment’s deep understanding of domestic and international demand-supply conditions and
gain from temperory mispricings seen the market.
In FY11, the spinning and cotton trading division accounted for Rs. 574 crore or ~9% of operating income for the
company. Volumes and hence revenue generated by spinning & cotton trading activity increased by ~75% in FY11,
primarily on account of low base effect in the previous years and increase in cotton trading activity to encash upon the
rise in cotton prices in the open market.



Primarily captive consumption by fabric and home textiles division (~75 to 80%)






Volatility in raw cotton costs due to uncertain demand-supply situation
Sustained high prices could result in further substitution by polyester
Steep fall could result in company left holding high cost inventories
The company does not generate significant revenue from sale of cotton yarn as large part of the
produce is utilized for captive consumption.
Cotton trading operations of the company are opportunistic, primarily to benefit from spurt in
cotton prices and the company remains a very small player in the said segment.
Thus competition from other spinning mills and cotton traders is not applicable to the company

Bulk buying during harvest season leads to high inventories risks; however, trading operations gains in case
of favourable price movements
Alok mitigates the risk of cotton price fluctuations to an extent by purchasing cotton in bulk quantities during the
buying season; when the quality, availability and costs are favourable. Alok procures raw cotton from the open
market, primarily from states of Gujarat, Maharshtra and Andhra Pradesh; though there are no long-term contracts. It
maintains an average nine months inventory of raw cotton primarily for yarn manufacturing resulting in high
inventory holding period. In rising cotton price scenario, the company gains as the benefits of low cost inventory may
not be completely passed on to the customers; however the situation reverses and margins decline if the raw cotton
prices fall steeply in short duration leading to high cost inventories.
Capacity expansions to aid growth in spinning reveneus in FY12, Cotton trading revenues and margins are
expected to moderate after a strong performance over the last two years
Alok is expanding its spinning capacity for manufactring ring-spun yarn to 58,750 tons (411,840 spindles) and openended yarn to 22,250 tons (5,680 rotors) at total cost of Rs. 400 crore in a phased manner till FY12. The expanded
capacities too are expected to be used primarily for captive consumption, while open market sales may continue upto
the tune of ~10-15% annually. Besides, we expect the growth in cotton trading revenues and overall margins for the
division to moderate marginally, after a strong performance over the last two years.

Alok Industries Limited
One of the largest fabric manufacturer in India with high end processing capabilities
Alok, one of the largest player in the apparel fabric segment, has presence in yarn-dyed fashion wear fabrics and
technical textile fabrics. The company has an in-house weaving capacity of close to 93.0 million meters (to be
increased to 170.0 mn meters) per annum and knitting capacity of 18,200 tones (to be increased to 25,000 tonnes)
per annum. Entire processing of grey fabric (output from weaving and knitting operations) is carried out at its inhouse facility at Vapi which has an annual processing capacity of 105.0 million meters (to be increased to 126 Mn
meters) per annum. The value addition through processing of grey fabric and the company’s in-house designing team
are crucial high margin generators and differentiator for the company’s fashion wear and technical textile product
range. Besides, Alok has benefited in terms of technology absorption for high-quality yarn-dyed fabrics, which are
used for fashionable shirting and high end women’s wear and command premium prices in the market, through its
acquisition of Mileta.
High competitive pressures due to fragmented nature of industry and price consciousness in the domestic
markets; however, presence in value-added fabrics mitigates competition from the unorganised segment
In the apparel fabric segment, Alok is present in mid to premium segment where price competition pressures remain
high owing to fragmented nature of industry and consumer price consciousness in the domestic markets. Alok
competes with organised players like Vardhaman, Arvind, JCT, Nahar Industries and Bombay Rayon. However,
presence in value-added fabrics mitigates competition from the unorganised players that mainly cater to the
commodity fabric or the economy end of the fabric segment. Current installed weaving and processing capacities of

Technical textiles to gain focus in wake of increasing demand and potential for higher EBIDTA margin
Unlike conventional textile industry, the technical textile industry (market size estimated to reach Rs. 66,000 crore by
FY13e) is an import intensive industry with few companies in India having expertise to manufacture speciality fabrics
such as fire retardant fabric, water repellent, soil release fabric and high visibility fabric. These are widely used in
industrial, aerospace, military, marine, medical, construction, transportation and high technology applications. Alok is
in talks with several international players for technology tie-ups and plans to considerably increase exposure to this
segment to gain from the lower competitive pressures and garner higher margins from the same.
Reputed and diversified customer base helps mitigate client specific risks; strong backward integration helps
minimize the impact of yarn price fluctuations
The apparel fabric division has a highly diversified and reputed customer base which includes garmenting companies
like Shahi Exports and Madura Garments in domestic market (~65-70%), garmenting companies in international
market (~15-20%), institutional sales to armed forces and government organisation (~5-7%) and work wear or
technical textiles (~5-10%). The company manufactures fabric primarily against orders which helps mitigate the risk
of unsold inventory, while the pricing takes into account prevailing market price of raw material (yarn) and foreign
currency rate for exports. Besides, strong backward integration with in-house cotton and polyester yarn production
helps minimize the impact of any adverse fluctuations in yarn prices.
Strong revenue growth expectations on account of healthy domestic demand and capacity augmentation;
margins expected to be maintained through migration to high value-added and fashion fabrics
The apparel fabric division has witnessed strong growth over the years driven by increase in volumes on the back of
healthy demand and capacity augmentation. The segment generates EBDITA margin of close to 36% on account of
backward integration into yarn production, high-end processing and increasing presence in the fashion wear and
technical fabric. Going forward, the shifting production base to Asian countries like India, along with increasing
demand for higher quality fashion apparel and ready-to-wear apparels in India, is likely to benefit established textile
majors like Alok. Besides, the focus on technical textiles along with increasing share of yarn-dyed fashion wear fabrics
is likely to drive realizations and revenue growth for the company. Operating margins too are estimated to remain
strong despite volatile raw material prices as the company, being a large integrated player, benefits from economies of
scale and has demonstrated its ability to pass on increase in input costs to its customers. Overall, we expect the
division to report ~11% CAGR revenue and 34-35% EBITDA margins over the FY12e-FY14e period.

Alok Industries Limited
Largest home textiles exporter from India with significant presence in high count bed sheets and terry towels
Alok is the largest manufacturer and exporter home textiles from India with Rs. 986 crore in sales in FY11, growing at
36% CAGR over the last three years on account of increase in capacities, diversification in product mix and improved
realisation per unit on account of higher value add products. The product mix consists of 80% bed sheets, while 10%
is bed spreads and rest are terry towels. Around 10% of terry towel products of Alok are yarn-dyed providing higher
margins while the rest is solid or piece dyed. Alok has limited presence in the domestic market mainly consisting of
economy segment (less than 300 thread counts) and dominated by large number of unorganised players. The
company mainly focuses on export markets (>95% of products are exported) with 300 to 500 thread count products,
where competition is moderate and realizations / margins are relatively higher.
Stiff competition from other low cost destinations; however, presence in the relatively higher count helps
mitigate competition
In the home textiles segment, Alok is mainly present in the exports markets (>95% revenues) where it continues to
face stiff competition from Chinese manufacturers with higher economies of scale and from manufacturers based out
of other low cost destinations like Pakistan. However, presence in the relatively high-end home textiles (300 to 500
counts product category) enable higher price realisation and helps mitigate competition from other low cost
manufacturing locations and domestic companies (products from Pakistan are estimated at 8-12 USD/unit FOB value
while that from Alok are priced at 15-20 USD/unit). Besides, the shift in procurement strategy of large global retailers
from high cost US / European destinations to low cost destinations like India and increasing demand for textile
products in China’s domestic market augurs well for the large Indian players like Alok. The installed capacity of

Established and reputed multinational clientele results in strong customer profile; periodic pricing resets to
protect marings in case increase in input costs
The customer portfolio for the home textiles division includes retail giants like Walmart, Target, Kohl’s and JC Penney
in the export market and Pantaloons in the domestic market. The client portfolio for the company is quite diversified,
with top four to five customers accounting only 40% of revenues for the division. In terms of geographies North &
South American markets comprise ~80% of the total sales, Europe contributing ~15% and domestic customers
accounting for balance 5% of the segment’s revenue. Besides, ~95% of products are sold as private labels in these
markets and only 5% are sold as branded products.

ICRA Equity Research Service
Alok Industries Limited
The company’s customer base consists primarily of organised retailers in the US and European market, where average
spend on and replacement of home textile products is relatively higher than that in the other parts of the world, thus
making it a steady business for retailers. This generates steady order book for large integrated companies like Alok
who can deliver large quantities of higher value add home textile products at reasonable rates and meeting stiff
delivery schedules. Besides, the company has volume-based contracts with its customers where prices are negotiated
every three months based on the input (cotton yarn) prices, thus allowing Alok to hedge its raw material risk.
Capacity enhancements to drive volume growth going forward; however, realizations and margins remain
vulnerable due to significant uncertainities in global demand outlook over the near term
Alok is expanding its Terry Towels capacity, a relatively new segment for the company, from 6,700 MT to 13,400 MT
in FY12. Besides, the company is increasing its in-house weaving capacity from 68.0 to 92.0 million meters per annum
and processing capacity from 82.5 to 105.0 million meters per annum in FY12, inorder to maintain the quality of
finished product. While capacity enhancements are expected to result in robust volume growth going forward, we
expect the operating margins of the division to remain vulnerable to renewed uncertainities over global demand
outlook in the near term. The revenue growth could also be impacted by declining cotton prices and resulting lower
realisations.
However, we expect the price corrections to be buffered by presence in higher count products and high value addition
(i.e. lower raw material costs / realizations) by the division. Besides, the impact on operating margins are expected to
be somewhat mitigated by operating efficiencies resulting from higher economies of scale, integrated nature of
operations, high-end designing capabilities and diversified client base of the company. Overall, we have assumed the
contribution from terry towels to increase to from ~10% in FY11 to ~20% in FY14e and the division to report ~13%
CAGR revenue and 28-29% EBITDA margins over the FY12e-FY14e period.

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono Ethylene
Glycol (MEG) are the primary raw materials constituting
~50-70% of the total sales value for polyester yarn. Being
petrochemical products, prices of PTA and MEG fluctuate
in line with fluctuations in crude oil prices in the long
term. Domestic refining companies like Reliance and IOC
cater to ~75% of Alok’s PTA requirement while the
balance is imported. MEG is completely imported by the
company. Volatility in raw material prices remain a key
challange for the company in view of the commodity
nature of the business.

Polyester Yarn division is expected to become highest revenue contributor by FY14e on the back of large
capacity enhancement being undertaken by the company
Alok’s Continuous Polymerisation plant with 200,000 TPA POY capacity became full operational in FY11. We expect
the division to further expand aggressively ~500,000 TPA in FY12e and ~900,000 TPA in FY14e; inorder to leverage
upon the rapidly increasing artificial fibre demand due to limited land availability for cultivation of natural fibres, high
dependence on agro-climatic conditions and higher domestic spending in the price sensitive rural markets. Besides,
Alok plans to shift from semi-dull polyester yarn to relatively higher end products like bright black/cationic yarns
currently being produced by Reliance Industries, JBF Industries and Indo Rama Synthetics. As a result, we expect the
polyester yarn division to report a robust ~52% CAGR revenue growth and emerge as the largest revenue contributor
for Alok, with its revenue contribution increasing from 25% of Alok’s overall sales in FY11 to 42% of sales in FY14e.
While the EBITDA margins for the division are expected to remain moderate (around ~18%); the division generates
higher ROCE on account of relatively lower working capital intensity / capex requirements and higher asset turnover
(~2.5 times) in comparison to cotton based businesses (~0.5 times).

Garments Division
Snapshot
 Currently low level of activities at Alok’s garmenting division; large part of garmenting activity outsourced
 Garment division accounted for close to 3% of total operating income and 2% of EBITDA in FY11
 Division unlikely to contribute significantly higher revenues due to lower management focus currently
Garments currently a small division
Garment division of Alok is currently the smallest in terms of revenue and capacities. During FY11 the division
recorded sales of Rs. 175 crore, an increase of 24% over the previous year. Exports contributed to the majority share
of sales for this division. The garments division increased production capacity to 22 million pieces per annum from 15
million pieces per annum in FY09. The capacity utilisation at present constrained as availability of workers at current
factory location of Silvassa is a problem due to transportation issues for workers. Hence, further capacity
enhancement (7 million pieces) was done at Daman where there is ample availability of labor which is expected to
improve capacity utilisation of the segment in future.
Though opportunities are available in workwear segment for this division to grow, Alok has no plans to aggressively
expand the garmenting facilities further at present however it is considering outsourcing opportunities especially in
Bangladesh, where quality garments can be produced at competitive prices. However, going forward too, the division
is expected to remain a minor contributor to Alok’s overall sales.

Real Estate Business
Snapshot
 Foray into real estate in FY07, through separate subsidiaries, to be part of the high growth of this sector
 Large accumulation of debt on account of projects under implementation, resulting in pressure on capital
structure despite equity infusion from promoters and institution investors (though QIPs)
 Commercial complex (Penninsula Business Park) project nearing completion; Joint venture in the residential real
estate segment likely to yield results only in the coming years
 Succesful exit from real estate segment likely to aid recovery in overall profitability, capital structure and liquidity
profile of the company
Entry into real estate business to encash the upturn in the real estate industry four years back; looking
actively to exit the business after execution and sale of current projects at hand
Alok had entered the real estate business and invested ~Rs. 1,500 crore in FY07 to take advantage of the real estate
boom witnessed during 2004-2008. The management is aggressively pursuing monetisation of these investments and
exit the real estate business to improve the capital structure of the company going forward. Except the residential
project at Nahur (Mumbai) which may take around three-four years for completion, the company plans to exit from
other real estate ventures by March 2012.
Ashford Center - Four floors to be retained for corporate use, remaining four to be sold by March 2012
Alok, through its subsidiary Alok Infrastructure Limited, had purchased Ashford Center (commercial building, 8
floors, 60,000 sq. ft.) at Lower Parel at ~Rs. 125 crore in 2006. Alok intends to retain four floors for corporate. The
company has recently sold one floor (7,500 sq. ft) at the rate of Rs. 21,000 per sq. ft. while the other three floors is are
expected to be sold at similar rates by March 2012.
Peninsula Business Park - Tower ‘B’: Lease agreements to be signed soon, complete sell off expected later
The company, through its wholly owned step-down subsidiary Alok Realtors Limited, had invested ~Rs. 1,275 crore in
Peninsula Business Park (Tower B, 20 floors, 641,000 sq. ft) in 2006. The site is located at Lower Parel (near Phoenix
Mills) in Mumbai and is being developed by Peninsula Lands Limited with civil work carried on Shapoorji Pallonjee
Group. The building is located in close proximity to the Lower Parel and Currey Road stations, 5-star hotels like ITC
and Four Seasons and other major commercial complexes like Indiabulls, DLF, HDFC Bank House & Ambit RSM. The
proposed project is exposed to market risks on account of significant upcoming commercial space in its vicinity. Alok
is scouting for potential lessees to rent out the premises and plans to sell the property to real estate funds after the
property is completely lease out. The company has recently lease out two floors to an FMCG at a rate Rs. 225 per sq.ft.
We have assumed 50% occupany by March 2012, 100% by H1 FY13e and complete sell-off / exit from the venture at
~17,000 Rs/sq. ft. during FY13e in our projections.
Land at Silvassa (500 acres) – SEZ plans shelved, to be sold at more than five times cost price
Alok had acquired 500 acres of industrial land for at a total cost of Rs. 50 crore (Rs. 10 lakh per acre) at Silvasa in
2006, with the intention of developing Textile SEZ. However, the company has shelved its development plan and
intends to sell the same at Rs. 60-70 lakh per acre. The company in advanced talks to sell around 73 acres for a
consideration of Rs. 50 crore. We have assumed the remaining land to the monitized in various phases for ~Rs 300

UK Retail Business – Grabal Alok UK
Snapshot
 Foray into UK retail market through acquisition of ~90% stake in ‘Grabal Alok UK’ through its subsidiary –
‘Alok Industries International Ltd’ and associate company – ‘Grabal Alok Impex Ltd’
 Consolidatation of ‘Grabal Alok UK’ post the proposed merger with ‘Grabal Alok Impex’, likely to adversely
impact the financials of Alok industries in near term
 Rebranding of stores and operational improvements to aid turnaround of the ailing UK retailer; achieved cash
breakeven in FY11 and expected to achieve net breakeven in FY13e
 The management may look to divest it post turnaround, if Alok makes decent returns on the investment
With an intention to enter the garment and accessories retail market in the UK, Alok, through its subsidiary acquired
~41.3% equity stake its associate company Grabal Alok Impex, through its subsidiary, acquired close to 48.71% stake
in British retailer, Grabal Alok (UK) Limited (GAUKL) in 2007. Recently, Alok’s board has approved the merger of
Grabal Alok Impex with Alok, which will make GAUKL a 90% subsidiary of Alok Industries.
Rebranding of stores and operational improvement measures to aid turnover of the ailing UK retailer
GAUKL has 219 stores across England, Scotland and Wales, where it retails value-for-money and quality fashion for
women, men, girls, boys and infants. It also sells accessories like artificial jewellery, shoes and leather bags. After
acquiring the company, Alok’s management undertook a re-branding exercise, re-naming the outlets from ‘QS’ to
‘Store Twenty One’. The stores are now being repositioned from being a discount retailer to a value retailer and
opportunities for setting up ‘shop-in-shop’ in large format stores are also being looked upon. A series of other
measures such as shifting of sourcing to Asian countries, improving quality of merchandise, cost reduction initiatives
been initiated to reduce losses and increase operational efficiencies, which has resulted in a cash breakeven in FY11.
Operations of the UK company are yet to achieve break even and are likely to require further financial and operation
support from Alok. Consolidatation of ‘Grabal Alok UK’ post the proposed merger with ‘Grabal Alok Impex’, likely to
adversely impact the financials of Alok in near term. The management considers all real-estate and retail businesses of
the company as non-core businesses and may plan to divest the stake in the UK retailer once the operations turn
positive and the company makes decent returns on its investment.
Domestic Retail Business - Alok H&A Limited
The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alok H&A Limited, has ventured into retail of garments, home
textiles and accessories through exclusive brand outlets (EBOs) and is positioned as an affordable lifestyle brand with
presence across 75 cities in 22 different states of India. At the end of March 2011, Alok operated close to 290 H&A
stores in India. The stores are operated on asset-light franchisee model, where the company incurs no capital or rental
cost. Apart from the standard format stores, which are usually 800 square feet to 1,000 square feet in size, the
company is also looking at larger format stores up to 2,500 square feet to accommodate all categories – men’s, ladies,
children’s clothes, home furnishings and accessories such as footwear, sun glasses and perfumes. Though Alok is
looking to expand store count to 500 by March 2012 using the franchiese model, the retail business is not estimated to
account for more than 5% of its overall (consolidated) operating revenues for the company. Besides, the management
may look to spun-off the venture into a separate company incase they turn more aggressive on the domestic retail
business.

OTHER SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES
Grabal Alok Impex Limited - Presence in embroidered products; to be merged with Alok in FY12
Grabal Alok Impex Limited (GAlok) was incorporated in 1993 through technical collaboration with Grabal Albert
Grabher GmbH & Co, Austria and is engaged in manufacturing wide range of embroidered fabrics having application
in the home textiles, apparel fabrics and garmenting. GAlok one of the largest domestic manufacturers of embroidered
fabric with a capacity of 34 billion stitches a year. The company has presence in both international and domestic
markets with customers including domestic traders and garment manufacturers, international branded apparel
companies and international home textile retailers. GAlok had reported ~Rs. 235 crore revenues with ~21% EBITDA
margins in FY11. Besides, the company indirectly holds 48.71% in British retailer, Grabal Alok (UK) Limited (GAUKL).
Alok’s board of directors have recently approved the amalgamation of GAlok into Alok though a 1:1 swap ratio. This
will result in ~2.6% equity dilution and marginal increase in promoter holding from 29.37% to 29.71% in Alok. GAlok
has ~Rs. 600 crore external liabilites on its balance sheet, which consists of bank term loans, working capital loans,
FCCBs, Convertible Debentures and redeemable preference shares. Overall, the merger of Grabal Alok Impex Ltd and
thereby consolidation of GAUKL is expected to reduce the consolidated EBITDA margins for the company by ~2.5% in
FY12e and weaken the capital structure by additional debt burden of ~Rs. 600 crore, in the near term.

Alok holds ~100% stake in Mileta a.s, an integrated textile entity based out of Czech Republic. The acquisition has
benefited by way of technology inputs from the Czech entity, especially in value added yarn dyed fabrics. Post the
acquisition Alok has been able to make quality yarn-dyed fabrics, which are priced at ~Rs. 130-140 per meter, a
significant premium to its earlier realisations, although the same forms less than 10% of its fabric sales currently. Alok
also stands to gain access to Mileta’s well-established distribution network in the USA and Europe. Besides, Alok has
launched some of the Mileta brands – Erba (for handkerchiefs) and Lord Nelson (for premium shirting) – in the Indian
market. Cottonova a home textile brand of Mileta is manufactured in Alok’s home textile plant and being exported.
Alok was able to turnaround Mileta’s performance through production efficiencies, optimising headcount and other
cost rationalisation efforts in FY10. Thus despite the slowdown in the European markets, Mileta generated cash
profits of the company of Euro 0.30mn. (Rs. 1.83 crores) during FY 2010 as against cash loss of Euro 4.17 mn. (Rs.
25.26 crores) during the previous year.

Indian Textiles Industry Outlook
Snapshot
 Global economic growth outlook weakens, recent rupee depreciation to provide some respite to exporters
 Steep decline in raw cotton prices could impact industry margins in near term due to high cost inventories
 However, textile & apparel industry expected to grow healthy ~10-12% over the long term due to favourable
demographics domestically and shifting of manufacturing base to lower cost destinations globally
Global economic growth outlook weakens, recent rupee depreciation to provide some respite to exporters
After a strong recovery in 2009 and relatively healthy growth in 2010, the US GDP growth rate has again started
slowing signs of a slowdown. Besides, the gradual unwinding of fiscal stimulus, persistantly high unemployment rate,
falling home prices, lower consumer spending and increase in personal savings rate has weakened the medium term
economic growth outlook for US. Moreover, budget cuts / austerity plans by eurozone countries to combat sovereign
debt crisis and high reconstruction costs post massive earthquake / tsunami in Japan could further impact consumer
sentiments and reduce discretionary spends on Textiles & Apparels (T&A) over the medium term.

On the other hand, the domestic currency has been appreciating steadily over the last 18 months due to relatively
stronger domestic growth and interest rate hikes by the reserve bank. While the Indian rupee has appreciated against
the currencies of key target markets (like US, Europe), it had also appreciated against competing currencies (Chinese
Yuan, Pakistan Rupee and Bangladesh Taka) over the last 18 months, as evident in the graphs above. However, the
recent steep rupee depreciation provides some respite and is expected to boost the competitiveness of the Indian

Domestic Cotton Prices (Sankar -6; Rs/Candy)
Source: EmergingTextiles.com; Bloomberg, ICRA Online Estimates
As shown in the graphs above, international cotton prices had increased significantly from ~75 USD/lb. in June 2010
to ~135 USD/lb. in May 2011 on account of strong recovery in global demand and supply shortages due to
unfavourable climatic conditions in major cotton producing countries like China, Pakistan and United States. In sync
with the global trend, domestic raw cotton prices for the Sankar-6 variety had increased from ~30,000 Rs/candy (1
candy = 355 kg) in June 2010 to ~62,000 Rs/candy in March 2011.
The Government of India (GoI) had initiated several measures in order to ensure cotton availability for the domestic
industry and easing of cotton yarn prices. In April 2010, GoI restricted yarn exports by withdrawing incentives like duty
drawback (4.0%) & Duty Entitlement Pass Book Scheme (7.7%). In December 2010, GoI further restricted yarn exports by
fixing the quantitative export quota of 72.0 crore kgs for FY11 (~22% higher than actual export volume in FY10) and
compressed export window allowing exports only upto 15 January 2011. While there was no export of cotton yarn for over
two-and-a-half months, the industry continued to produce yarn using high-cost cotton in anticipation of strong realisations
from the global markets after the removal of the export ban in April 2011. Besdies, simultaneous closure of several dyeing
units in Tirupur on environmental concerns resulted in a huge pile-up of large unsold cotton yarn stock.

As anticipated, GoI lifted restrictions on cotton yarn exports effective 1st April 2011. In addition, it was listed under ‘free
list’ category, implying that contracts for cotton yarn exports were required to be registered only with the Directorate
General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and that shipments could go ahead without verification by the Indian customs. However,
overseas customers had started sourcing cotton yarn from alternate global suppliers when the ban was enforced. Hence,
post removal of the export ban, cotton and cotton yarn prices in export market have crashed due to significant additional
supply on account of accumulated stock and weak global demand scenario.

The fall in cotton prices was accentuated by robust production estimates for the 2011-12 cotton season (runs from
October to September) globally. As per International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC), driven by higher prices in
the past one year, global cotton production is expected to increase to 26.9m tons in 2011-12 cotton season, an 8%
increase over previous year. A total surplus of 1.8m tons is expected in 2011-12, helping global stocks to recover by
about 20% to 10.9m tons and boosting the stocks-to-use ratio to 43%, up from 37% in 2010-11. Indian cotton
production too is expected to increase to 35 mn bales (1 Indian bale = 165 kg) in 2011-12 cotton season, an 9%
increase over previous year, aided by higher acreage, better yields on higher Bt cotton adoption & normal monsoons.
We expects the cotton prices to remain near current levels until November / December 2011, as the mills may take time to
consume their current stock of cotton. Subsequently, fresh purchases of cotton are likely to be made at more reasonable
rates upon arrival of fresh cotton in the market. Overall, we expect the steep fall in cotton prices over the last four
months to result in high cost inventories across the industry, the impact of which would have to be partly absorbed by
the domestic textile manufacturers considereing the slackening of global demand recently.
However, lower cotton prices aurgers well for the medium term demand outlook and operating margins for the
domestic textile industry. We expect the demand to improve in the domestic market with the onset of festival season in H2,
2011-12 and in the export markets as well in order to fill the gradually depleting pipeline inventory. Moreover, the recent
decision by GoI to reinstate the DEPB benefits on export of cotton yarn and cotton with retrospective effect from 1 April
2011 and 1 October 2010, respectively; and removal of quantitative cap on cotton exports, may arrest the downward
pressure and help stabilise the prices of cotton and cotton yarn over the near term.

Longer term outlook remains healthy due to favourable demographics domestically and shifting of
manufacturing base to lower cost destinations globally
Over the longer term, the domestic growth is expected remain healthy due to increasing population, rising disposable
incomes, rapid urbanization, favorable demographics with a large working class population and increased organized
retail penetration. Additionally, rising disposable income in the hands of rural consumers due to rising agriculture
Income, increased employment generation through National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and Pradhan
Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) is likely to boost demand for low-ticket items. On the other hand, the exports
markets are expected to grow due to shift of manufacturing bases from developed to low-cost Asian countries as they
are losing their competitiveness for commoditised products to the Asian countries.
Apparel Fabrics – large potential exists for the organised sector in cotton fabrics segment
The Indian fabric market is highly fragmented, comprising of cotton, blended, 100% non-cotton, wool, silk and khadi.
As per the textile ministry, the total fabric production is estimated to be 60,333 mn sq mtrs. Of this, the cotton fabric
market is the largest market estimated at 47.9% of the total fabric market; while the 100% non-cotton, 100% blended
& Khadi, Silk & Wool account for 37.9%, 12.9% & 1.3% respectively. The cotton fabric market has grown at a CAGR of
4.9% over FY05-10, with the organised sector growing at a CAGR of 5.3%. The organised sector in cotton fabrics
accounts for 5.1% of total cotton fabrics production & contributes less than 2.5% of the total fabric production in
India. The share of organised sector is expected to increase with increasing demand for higher quality fashion apparel
and ready to wear apparels in India and Alok is expected to gain owing to its presence in the mid to high value
segment.
Home Textiles - Healthy growth supported by global retailers looking to de-risking their vendor base away
from China and China unable to meet exports demand because of strong domestic growth
Global home textiles market is estimated at around US$ 23 - 26 billion, accounting for 5-6% of the total global textile
market. The home textiles market includes ‘Household textiles’ (Rugs, bed linen, table linen, bathroom and kitchen
linen, etc) and ‘Furnishing textiles’ (Curtains, bedspreads and other furnishing articles for home interiors, etc.). In bed
sheets, quilts and terry towel categories, India faces stiff

Global all fibre per capita final consumer demand in 2010 is estimated at 10.6 kg, while that of India is at 7.1 kg. In
comparison, per capita consumption in China is at 16 kg, North America is 31 kg and West Europe is at 22 kg.
Domestic polyester fibre per capita consumption is half that of world average of 4.7 kg and way below China. We
expect the polyester penetration levels to improve considerably going forward due to 1) Improving spending on
textiles in rural areas 2) Increased non-apparel

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Snapshot
 Robust revenue growth over the past five years; growth momentum likely to continue on account of
aggressive capital expansions planned in certain segments going forward.
 Healthy EBDITA margins on the back of integrated operations and diversified product portfolio; however
margins expected to moderate with increasing contribution from polyester yarn business;
 However, ROCE likely to witness improvement as polyester segment is relatively less capital intensive when
compared with cotton based segments
Expansion in Polyester Yarn division to drive revenue and EBITDA growth going forward
We expect Alok to remain a leading intergrated player in the domestic textile industry with strong presence across
product segments. We expect the company to exit its non-core real estate and retail ventures in due course and
remain focussed on apparel fabric and home textiles division, along with significant thrust on the rapidly growing
polyester yarn division. While the fabric division is estimated to grow at 11% CAGR over the FY11-FY14e period,
home textiles is expected to growth at 13% CAGR and polyester yarn division to grow at a robust 52% CAGR during
the period, backed by significant capacity expansions planned by the company. As a result, the revenue contribution
from polyester division is expected to rise from ~25% in FY11 to ~42% in FY14e, making it the largest revenue
contribution segment for Alok. Although the EBITDA margin of the polyester segment is expected to remain moderate
at ~18%, significant increase in scale of polyester operations is expected to reduce the dependence on apparel fabric
divisin, whose EBITDA contribution is expected to decline from ~57% in FY11 to ~44% in FY14e.

Aggressive capacity expansions to drive revenue growth; however higher polyester contribution and
consolidation of UK retail business to reduce margins going forward
Aggressive capacity expansion across business segments (more so in polyester division) along with relatively stable
realisations are expected to result in a healthy 28% CAGR in the consolidated revenues for the company over the
FY11-FY14e period. Despite the steep correction in raw material prices, we expect the company to maintain ~34%
EBITDA margins in apparel fabrics, ~28% in home textiles and ~18% polyester segments. With increasing
contributions from polyester business, overall EBITDA margins are expected to decline by ~4% over the next three
years. Besides, the EBITDA margins are expected to be further impacted by ~2.5% due to the consolidation of UK
based retail business, which has only recently achieved cash breakeven. However, with higher operating leverage,
non-operating incomes stemming from exit of real estate ventures and debt-repayments post exit from non-core

Profitability indicators to improve from the lows in FY11a; gearing to moderate from FY14e onwards
While the polyester division has lower EBITDA margins, it has higher RoCE due to lower capex and working capital
requirements and higher asset turnover for the business. Hence, even through the consolidated EBITDA margins are
expected to moderate from ~28% in FY11 to ~22% in FY14e, consolidated RoCE for the company is expected to
improve from ~10% in FY11 to ~17% in FY15e and consolidated RoE to improve from ~16% to ~24% during the
same period. The improvement in RoCE is also accentuated by exit from the non-core and capital intensive real estate
ventures of the company, which along with healthy cash accruals are expected to reduce the consolidated debt /
equity for the company from ~4.4 times in FY11 to ~2.1 times in FY14e. Overall, we expect a robust 36% CAGR
growth in EPS for the company over the FY11a-FY14e period, aided by robust capacity expansions and our relatively
stable pricing / realizations assumption going forward.

COMPANY PROFILE
Alok Industries Limited (Alok), promoted by the Jiwrajka family, is a vertically integrated and a leading textile
manufacturer having presence across the value chain from cotton spinning, polyester yarn, apparel fabrics, home
textiles and garments manufacturing to retailing of garments and accessories. The company has 16 manufacturing
plants located at Silvasa, Vapi and Navi Mumbai. At present, apparel fabrics is the largest segment of the company,
accounting for 46.6% of Alok’s standalone sales, followed by polyester yarn (26.1%), home textiles (15.5%), cotton &
cotton yarn trading (9.0%) and balance share(2.7%) comprised by garments.
Alok has international presence through two companies, Mileta a.s. located in Czech Republic in which it holds 100%
stake and Grabal Alok UK Ltd. in which it has 41.7% stake. Mileta a.s. is an integrated textile company with established
distribution network in Europe, North Africa, USA, the Middle East, the Far East and the Asia Pacific regions. The
Mileta acquisition has proved synergistically beneficial for Alok by way of technology inputs for producing valueadded yarn dyed fabrics. Grabal Alok UK Ltd is a leading garments and accessories retailing chain having 216 stores
across England, Scotland and Wales. Alok is also present in domestic retail through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alok
H&A Limited under which it retails apparel and accessories and home textiles through 291 franshisee stores.
Besides, Alok has also diversified into commercial and residential real estate business through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Alok Infrastructure Limited. Although the retail investments of the company may take time to yield results,
we expect the company to actively monetize its investments in real estate business to improve the capital structure
and the return indicators of the company.

VALUATION GRADING
In assessing a company's valuation, various parameters are looked at including the company's earnings and growth
prospects; its ability to generate free cash flows and its capacity to generate returns from the capital invested. The
valuation is also benchmarked against an appropriate peer set or index. The opinion on a company's relative valuation
is expressed using the following five-point scale as follows:
Exhibit 24: ICRA Equity Research Service—Valuation Grades
Valuation Grade
Grade Implication
A
Significantly Undervalued
B
Moderately Undervalued
C
Fairly Valued
D
Moderately Overvalued
E
Significantly Overvalued
While assessing a company's relative valuation,
the historical price volatility exhibited by the
stock, besides its liquidity, is also taken into
account. The extent of overvaluation or
undervaluation is adjusted for the relative
volatility displayed by the stock.
Source: ICRA Online Research
Despite the near term headwinds faced by the textile industry, Alok’s current valuation multiples (~3.3 times FY12
earnings, ~0.43 times FY12 book value) seems quite attractive considering Alok’s integrated and diversified business
model with lower dependence on textile exports. The valuation multiples are are expected to further moderate
rapidly from the FY12e levels due to strong earnings growth over the next three years contributed by large capacity
additions and improvement in the capital structure through exit from non-core businesses. Overall, we expect the
company to report a robust 28% CAGR revenue growth and 36% CAGR EPS growth over the FY11a-FY14e period,
aided by robust capacity expansions and healthy domestic consumuption demand going forward. Hence, we assign a
valuation grade of “A” to Alok on a grading scale of ‘A’ to ‘E’, which indicates that the company is “significantly
undervalued” on a relative basis.
