On the path of “Total foods Company”

Britannia is on the cusp of its transformation as a “Total Foods company”

given 1) successful launch of cream wafers 2) Innovations like Pure Magic

Choco lush, GoodDay cashew almond and Tiger Choco cookies in core

biscuits segment 3) launch of tetrapack flavored milk and dairy whitener and

4) planned entry in croissants from Chipita JV in 3Q19.

BRIT’s initiatives on direct distribution expansion (0.25m addition/year) and

1.5xcompany growth in weak states will enable steady market share gains.

Although BRIT is facing an inflation of 4-4.5%, 3-3.5% price increase and

benefits of Rs2.25bn cost efficiency programs will enable the company

expand margins by 180bps over FY18-21.

We cut our FY19-20 EPS estimate by 3-4% as we increase ad spends by 20bps

(100 year celebrations and new launches) and tax rates by 50bps (up 80Bps

in 1HFY19). We estimate 18.4% PAT CAGR over FY18-21 and value the stock

at 46xFY21 EPS (46xDec20 EPS earlier) given strong growth outlook and

arrive at a SOTP based 18-month target price of Rs6298 (18-month target of

Rs6568 earlier). Retain Accumulate.

Concall Takeaways: 1) Rural sales continues to grow faster than urban sales and

the trend is expected to continue 2) BRIT is looking at 3-3.5% price increase

towards 4QFY19 to ward off ~4-4.5% input cost inflation. BRIT has forward covers

till mid-Jan’19 3) Brit’s growth is led by premiumisation as its share of value segment

is only 15% as against ~40% for the industry (55% 6 years back) 4) PAN India

distribution gap between BRIT and Parle is 0.6mn outlets, while the gap is 0.8-

0.9mn in North only. BRIT plans to add 0.2-0.25mn direct outlets/year mainly in

rural areas to bridge this gap 5) BRIT entered Rs30bn Dairy whitner segment and

would be focusing only on retail upto 1kg packs. 6) Currently 55% of volumes (60%

by value) are produced inhouse, BRIT plans to increase inhouse production to 60%

by volumes (70% by value). 7) Ad-spends in 1H19 grew by 20% with heavy spends

in Q2 on 100th year celebrations. This would moderate in coming quarters 8) FY19

capex to be Rs5bn; Rs2bn is already spent in 1H19 9) BRIT has targeted costs

savings of Rs2.25bn in FY19, 65% of costs savings accrue in 2H of the year. 5 lines

(total 14 lines with 0.13MT capacity, 11% of total) in Ranjangaon facility would

commence operations by FY19 10) Greenfield unit in Nepal for local manufacturing

is expected to commission in 4QFY19. 11) IBD grew by double digit led by Mundra
