WLSI’s increasing vertical integration, higher share of value-added products and branded sales will keep the operating margin healthy while incremental investment for capital heavy spinning and weaving through ancillary model (third party) will keep the return ratios healthy going forward. Increasing dividends, high capacity utlization and experience management provides additional comfort. At the current market price of Rs 647, the stock trades at 10.1x FY17E EPS and 5.9x FY17E EV/EBITDA.

It has started with a towel facility with a capacity of 2,000 MT p.a. in 1993 and now it has become the preferred supplier for top retailers across 50 countries in the world. WLSI is the leading supplier to 14 of the top 30 US retailers. WLSI has now become the differentiated end-to-end solution provider in home textiles. WLSI has created one of the largest single location home textiles manufacturing facility at Anjar. Strong relationship with suppliers helped in scaling up the business The company has continuously enhanced its manufacturing capacities over the last decade. It enjoys strong relationship with its fabric and yarn suppliers because of which it is able to enhance its front end capacity (processing) in the initial leg smoothly and upon its stabilisation invested on backward integration gradually. Multi-products in home textiles provides an ability to cross-sell the products and helps in leveraging the resources After starting its journey in home textiles through towels, it later diversified itself into bed linens in 2005. WLSI also entered rugs and carpets segment in 2009, which it expects to scale-up over the next few years. It has divided the product segment into three major categories as under: Product categories Bath Bedding Flooring • Towels • Sheets • Carpets • Bath robes • Top of Bed • Rugs • Basic and Fashion Bedding Relationship with top retailers across geographies USA Europe UK Bed Bath & Beyond Ikea Christy Macy’s Carrefour Tesco Walmart Jysk Marks & Spencer JC Penney El Corte Ingles Debenhams Target Vincenzo Zucchi S.p.A House of Frazer Kohl’s Bassetti John Lewis Kmart – Sears Auchan Sainsburry Source: Company Key terry towel players in India Company WLSI is the world’s largest terry towel manufacturer by turnover in India Welspun India Alok Trident Revenue Capacity Planned Capacity Post FY15 (Rs mn) (MT) expansion (MT) expansion (MT) 21,937 50,000 10,000 60,000 5,068* 13,400 Nil 13,400 ~16,000 88,775 Nil 88,775 *Alok’s revenue is for 18 months for the period ending on 31st March 2015.

The company is aggressively looking to penetrate markets like Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe and India to enhance the reach of its products. The management believes that these markets have huge potential for growth and they have made the initial in-roads in these markets which will help them to seize this opportunity. Out of the total US$ 45 bn home textiles market, US market is around 30% where WLSI commands dominant position in bed and bath products. The company believe that the proposed EU-FTA can significantly improve the competitiveness of Indian players and gives access to the European home textile market. The recent FTA with Japan and Korea will lead to improved trade in the coming years. It also sees huge opportunity in the Indian market especially on the branded side. Multiple sales channels: WLSI predominantly caters to large retailers and brands across geographies. WLSI is now aggressively looking at three different areas to expand its reach. a) Institutional business: WLSI is looking to expand its institutional business. This segment typically caters to hotel chains, hospitals and other wholesale requirements. This will help to grow all its segments i.e. towels, bed linens, rugs and carpets. These orders typically require customisation yielding better operating margins. b) E-retailing: The company has launched its own brand of luxury bed and bath linen ‘Crowning Touch’ in the US market through third party e-retailers like Amazon, Overstock, Wayfair, etc. and through its own website welspunbathandbedstore.com. WLSI also sells its own brands like Christy and Spaces through e-commerce channel. WELSPUN INDIA 5 B&K RESEARCH JULY 2015 c) Branded business: WLSI’s branded sales in FY15 were ~11%. WLSI expects strong growth for its Indian branded portfolio led by ‘Spaces’ and ‘Welhome’ with increased penetration through SIS and e-commerce. WLSI has increased its reach for brand ‘Christy’ from UK to USA, China and Middle East. ‘Kingsley Home’, the company’s mass market brand in the UK with a focus on bedding is expected to grow at the healthy pace with increased penetration. It also expects its licenced brands ‘Amy Butler’ and ‘Annie Phllips’ to grow at a healthy rate. Scaling the under-penetrated product categories: WLSI expects a slightly moderate growth in two of its major product lines i.e. towels and bed linens as compared to its new product categories like bath robes, top of the bed, fashion bedding, filled products, rugs and carpets. Each of these product categories are very large (at least US$ 1 bn each), providing huge opportunity to grow for multi years. Innovation, service and brands aiding faster growth Innovation: From just a supplier of generic products where the focus was on sales rather than marketing with limited efforts on designing, WLSI has come a long way to become one of the most admired companies for supply of home textile products. In the year 2000, the company decided to invest in product developments and design capabilities. Later, the innovation also included processes, practices and people. WLSI’s innovative products as a % of sales are continuously increasing and stood at 31% of revenue in FY15. The company has total 12 patented products, most of which are pending for approval. HYGRO COTTON®, SOFTSHIELD™, SPOTSTOP™, EVERSMOOTH™, FLEXIFIT®, DRYLON®, RESILON™ are few such trademark and patented products of WLSI. Hygro yarn Properties of Hygro cotton: Hygro cotton® is a patented spinning technology that uses a hollow core cotton yarn. The fabric made from Hygro cotton® is ultra soft, ultra absorbent and plumps up after every wash, thus maintaining its soft and plush feel. Hygro cotton® also helps to regulate the temperature of the fabric, keeping it cool in the summers and warm in the winters, which makes it an ideal sheeting product.

It has three design studios in USA, UK and Mumbai. WLSI complemented the product development skills with global sales network providing constant inputs on consumer requirements. Currently, it has 110 people team to support its innovation, design and development. Innovation across product categories Source: Company Service: WLSI is actively involved in consumer research studies by engaging organisation like ‘NPD Group Inc’ and ‘Just ask a Woman’ for consumer insights and suggesting its customers about the latest trends and customer requirements. Through market intelligence, the company also conducted grid analysis of its key customers with respect to product range, fast moving items, best selling SKUs, attractive price points, etc. WLSI also works as an extended supply chain partner for its retailer. From, just being a supplier to retailers through intermediaries (exporters and buying house), it has come a long way to become a direct supplier to these retailers. Initially, this shift to establish direct relationship with customers impacted its sales but it paid off eventually. The important step in this direction was utilising IT as an integrator. It adopted SAP R/3 to integrate operations, marketing and supply chain to create seamless integration with customers. In addition to the Indian warehouses, WLSI have strategic facilities in Ohio, USA and Manchester, UK supported by SCM and coplanning team to provide support on inventory and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI). It is now involved with retailers for collaborative forecasting, planning and replenishment of products (production to point of sale). Branding: Branding is a key area for the company from the last few years. WLSI is creating brand within its B2B business as well through appropriate packaging for apt communication, point of sale communication programme to explain the key functional product attributes, product trademarks and patents. WLSI has launched ‘Hygro’ branding campaign in the US last year, showcasing the key attributes of the products. It also plans to invest for its domestic and global brand portfolio. All these steps are expected to aid in faster growth.

Operating margin to remain healthy We expect the margin to remain healthy between 22-24% over the next few years. This is mainly supported by: • Economies of scale (operating leverage). • Increase in vertical integration (backward integration through spinning and weaving capacity and forward integration through branded sales). • Improving product mix, customer mix and geography mix. • Higher automation (resulting in lower employee cost as a % of sales and improvement in productivity). • Favourable cotton and yarn market (Short-term) (over long-term price gets adjusted). • Favourable exchange rate (Short-term) (over long-term price gets adjusted). Moderate risk to industry margin post FY17: One of the major risks to the margin expectation is with respect to export incentives, which currently stands at ~9% of revenue (~7% duty draw back and ~2% MEIS). The interest subvention for export credit of ~2% (pre-shipment and post-shipment packing credit) is already discontinued by the government last year. As per the WTO agreement, when the share of a developing country (Per capita income below US$ 1,000) in global exports touches 3.25% in any product for two straight years, then the country need to phase out the export incentives for the items eight years from the second year of breach. India has first breached the threshold in 2005 and remained above the level in 2006 as well. Therefore all the export incentives should ideally be stopped by January 2015. The other view is that the general WTO norms permit import duty neutralisation for exports and thus the duty drawback scheme (~7%) will not be affected. India’s take on WTO phase out: India is deliberating with WTO on this issue of definition of product (many items within the textile and clothing group are yet to achieve export competitiveness) and applicable period of phasing out subsidy. Solution to WTO phase out: The textile ministry is planning to replace export based incentives by production based incentives. TUFS is one such scheme which is linked to production and not exports. WELSPUN INDIA 8 B&K RESEARCH JULY 2015 Integration will aid in maintaining healthy and sustainable margins/ Future investment on backward integration through ancillary model to improve return ratios WLSI is one of most well integrated company in the home textile space. It is present in the entire manufacturing value chain right from spinning till made-ups along with captive power plant. It has higher processing capacity as compared to its weaving and spinning capacities. The company outsource ~30% of its yarn and fabric requirement from third party. WLSI has gradually increased its spinning and weaving capacities to keep the in-house manufacturing proportion at ~70%, which helps in maintaining the consistent quality of the final product and ensure better service levels/reliable SCM. This also provides the flexibility to the company in planning the production programmes efficiently. WLSI is considering to increase its spinning and weaving capacity through ancillary model in future, whereby it will allow third party to co-locate their plants with WLSI. WLSI will assure the off-take based on the arm’s length pricing formula mutually agreed. This will help WLSI to focus on higher valued-added activities including processing, marketing, distribution and retailing. This will also aid in improving the return ratios as the incremental investments are mostly into asset light businesses.

We saw the similar situation in the industry (demand tapering) post the sub-prime crisis in 2008. Moreover, some of the high end products see larger impact on the demand because of its discretionary nature during these times. Postponement of demand is the typical behaviour of the consumers resulting in deeper impact on demand conditions. Any such event can impact WLSI’s revenue and profitability. Sharp rupee appreciation may impact the margins till the price revision takes place: Majority of WLSI’s revenue come from exports. Extremely volatile currency movements may impact the company’s competitiveness as well as margins. The recent depreciation of rupee is providing WLSI an edge over some of its competitors in China, Pakistan and Turkey, but sharp appreciation of rupee may create demand and margin pressure on its manufacturing division. In the past few years, WLSI follows the pricing discipline because of the exchange rate volatility whereby any appreciation/depreciation (+/-5%) is adjusted on a semi-annually/yearly basis. Thus, sometimes margins may get impacted for short-term till the price revision takes place. Increase in competitive rivalry: WLSI has two major products line i.e. towels and bed linen. In the towel segment, the competition is mostly from few players from China, Pakistan and India. For the products served by WLSI, the major competition is from Trident Limited, since it has recently doubled its towel capacity (largest towel capacity in the world) and plans to ramp-up the capacity to absorb the fixed cost. In this process, the WLSI may need to compete in certain basic products, which may impact its margins in short-term. On the bed linen side, most of the company competition is from Alok, Indo Count Industries, GHCL, Himatsingka Seide and Trident (upcoming capacity). Most of the players except Alok (working on lower utilisation) has increased their capacity or are planning to increase their capacity. This may increase the competitive rivalry between the players leading to pricing pressures and strain on operating margin. Inherent risk of venturing into new segments: WLSI is investing into new products, technologies, innovation for its future growth. In the past, the company has been successful to implement such projects profitably. At the same time, inability to adopt or execute new technology or failure to market the new products/brands effectively could impact the profitability of the company. WELSPUN INDIA 10 B&K RESEARCH JULY 2015 Outlook and valuation WLSI’s revenue, EBITDA and PAT is expected to witness CAGR of 14.5%, 10.9% and 12.6%, respectively, over FY15-18E supported by volume growth and healthy margins. Underpenetrated geographies, under-penetrated product segments and under-penetrated sales channels on the micro side and improving global environment, increasing competitiveness of Indian manufacturers and wider access to European market on the macro side will aid the growth momentum. Efficient and staggered capital allocation aiding to build stable business model WLSI’s capex plan of Rs 25 bn over FY14-16E is focused towards increasing spinning and Falling relative debt levels, increasing return ratios and rising dividend are key variables resulting in multiple re-rating for the stock The company has consistently performed over the last three years after the reorganisation of weaving capacity as a part of backward integration (~Rs 13 bn) and to modernise and enhance finished product capacity for optimal efficiency and growth (~Rs 12 bn). This will help the company to earn stable and consistent operating profits. its businesses in FY12 (merger of marketing division, closing non-performing international manufacturing and closed own retail network). The relative debt level measured through net debt/EBITDA fell from 4.6x in FY12 to 1.9x in FY15 despite incurring capex of Rs 25 bn during this period. We believe the relative debt levels to further reduce to ~1x by FY18E. This according to us is the key transformation for WLSI and warrants re-rating. WLSI has first time announced the dividend distribution policy along with FY15 results to pay 25% of its PAT as dividend, which further improves the case for re-rating. Average EV/EBITDA multiple of the similar companies is ~5.5x (see table below). We have assigned 30% premium to the valuation multiple to adjust for the higher than average return ratios. We initiate coverage on the stock with a Buy rating with a target price of Rs 842/share (We have valued WLSI based on 7.2x FY17E EV/EBITDA).
