Lall, Kamla Vachani, GeetaVaswani, Sunita Mankani and Shobha Sippy collectively. The offer for sale size is Rs 537-539 crore.
Strengths
It is a leading player in most verticals it operates in. According to the Frost & Sullivan report, it enjoyed market leadership in manufacturing of FPD TVs, washing machines, Led and CFL lights in India in FY 2016. Its market share of the total production by electronic manufacturing services (EMS) /ODM players in India: FPD TVs is 50.4%, washing machines is 42.6% and Led and CFL lights is 38.9%.
The company has strong relationships with a diverse top-tier customer base. It has established and will continue to focus on strengthening long-standing relationships with well-known customers across product verticals.
The end-to-end solutions provider has dedicated research and development capabilities.
The company has gradually backward integrated its services by setting up in-house manufacturing of plastic molding for lighting products, Led TVs and washing machines; wound components for lighting products and back light unit clean room for Led TVs. Backward integration provides the benefit of greater control on the manufacturing process, quality and the corresponding benefits of cost efficiencies thereby improving margins.
The company is expanding existing relationships with customers into other product verticals. It plan to continue to focus on customers with whom it has long-standing relationships in order to develop and supply more sophisticated, higher margin products. For example, it started manufacturing TVs for Panasonic India Pvt Ltd and is now also manufacturing washing machines and mobile phones (through their supplier) for them. Similarly, it started manufacturing color televisions for Philips India in 2007 and over the years has expanded its offerings with DVD players, home theatres and currently manufacturing lighting products both as an OEM and ODM
Weaknesses
The company operates in a competitive industry, with participants in the organized and the unorganized sector. It continues to compete with international and domestic manufacturers engaged in the manufacture and supply of Led TVs, lighting (CFL and Led), home appliances and mobile phones as well as from players in the unorganized sector.
The company is highly dependent on certain key customers for a substantial portion of revenues. Loss of relationship with any of these customers may have a material adverse effect on profitability and results of operations. In the aggregate, its top five customers accounted for 82.93%, 79.43%, 73.28%, 76.95% and 79.67% of revenue from operations (net) for the years ending FY 2017, FY 2016, FY2015, FY2014 and FY2013, respectively. Its largest customer (across business verticals) accounted for 38.46% (including sales made to a supplier of largest customer) of consolidated revenue from operations (net) in FY2017 and 35.19%, 24.79%, 30.10% and 29.09% of revenue from operations (net) for FY2016, FY 2015, FY 2014 and FY2013, respectively.
The profitability also depends on the performance and business of key customers. In the ODM and OEM verticals in which it operates, its revenues are directly affected by the resales of its products by its customers under their own brand names. It relies on the success of its customers in marketing and selling these products and therefore any negative impact on their reputation may also have an effect on its business.
It is essentially a contract manufacturer, without owning the brand, it operates on very slim margin.
It does not get firm and long-term volume purchase commitments from its customers. If its customers choose not to renew their agreements with it or continue to place orders, its business and results of operations will be adversely affected.
The markets in which its customers compete are characterized by consumers and their rapidly changing preferences, advancement in technology and other related factors including lower manufacturing costs and therefore as a result company may be affected by any disruptions in the industry. These conditions frequently result in short product life cycles. Some of the customers for whom it manufacture products may also chose not to continue operations in India for many reasons which can also include customer preferences, among others.
Industry-wide competition for market share of various products can result in aggressive pricing practices by its customers and, therefore, its customers may also choose to import some of these products which provide them better cost benefits as compared to it or source the products from its competitors. This price pressure from its customers may adversely affect the prices of the products which it supply, which may lead to reduced revenues, lower profit margins or loss of market share, any of which would have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations
It is subject to fluctuations in the prices of raw material and component prices and this may result in a decline in the stated value of inventory thereby affecting inventory management which may adversely affect business.
It may be subject to financial and reputational risks due to product quality and liability issues which may have an adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations
Some of manufacturing facilities located in Dehradun are availing certain tax benefits which are available for a specified period of time. Expiry or early withdrawal of such tax benefits may adversely affect its results of operations and prospects. Further, certain exemptions available earlier have been withdrawn under the GST regime.
Operating results may fluctuate from period to period or be subject to seasonality.
Success of the products manufactured by it is driven by user preferences. Obsolescence arising from the changes in technology may affect on the demand of its products which may result in price declines
Valuation
The companys consolidated net sales for year ended March 2017 (FY 2017) increased 77% to Rs 2456.76 crore. The sales of lighting division increased by 28% to Rs 550.80 crore, consumer electronics by 10% to Rs 844.54 crore, home appliances by 44% to Rs 188.03 crore, reverse logistic by 60% to Rs 62.69 crore and mobiles phones more than 999% to Rs 810.71 crore. The OPM decreased by 50 bps to 3.7%. The net profit after share of associates and MI has increased by 18% to Rs 50.38 crore.
At the lower price band of Rs 1760 per equity share of Rs 10 face value, the P/E works out to 39.6 times the FY2017 consolidated EPS of Rs 44.5 (on post-IPO equity) and at upper band of Rs 1766, P/E works out to 39.7 times FY2017 consolidated EPS of Rs 44.5 (on post-IPO equity).
There is no direct comparable listed company.
