We increase Britannia’s (BRIT) estimates by 12% and raise our TP to Rs3,900 (from

Rs3,250), factoring in stronger-than-expected growth trends in its portfolio, acceleration in

market share gains and multiple tailwinds for higher growth and margin expansion.

BRIT is emerging as the biggest beneficiary from the disruption, as packaged foods

consumption is growing strongly, led by higher in home consumption and lesser avenues

for out-of-home consumption. The shift from unorganized/street food to packaged foods

may sustain even post lockdown given higher preference for hygiene and trusted brands.

In addition, BRIT’s better distribution capabilities with strong direct reach, wide portfolio

and faster innovation makes it well-placed to accelerate share gains. Margin outlook has

also improved on benign input prices, steady cost-saving culture, reduced competitive

activity (reduction in trade schemes) and better portfolio mix

Valuations at 41xFY22 are still attractive given the improved growth outlook and likely

upsides to earnings. Re-iterate BUY and maintain BRIT as an EAP high conviction idea.

Britannia Industries (LHS) Rel to Nifty (RHS)

Growth acceleration on the cards; biggest beneficiary of surge in packaged foods

consumption: BRIT is witnessing a strong acceleration in growth as per our channel checks,

driven by the surge in packaged foods consumption from higher in-home consumption and

lack of other out-of-home consumption avenues. This is driving increasing consumer shift

toward packaged foods which offer hygiene and trusted brands vs. unorganized/street food.

BRIT’s wide and most affordable and healthy portfolio, leadership across categories, stronger

innovation pace and better distribution capabilities make it best-placed to emerge as a big

winner from this disruption.

Multiple drivers for margin expansion: We also see multiple drivers for margin expansion

over FY21-22E period from benign input prices, reduction in competitive activity, higher cost-

savings focus (lower discretionary spends) and improvement in portfolio mix. Higher

production of large packs and fast moving Good Day vs. glucose and LUPs and reduction in

trade schemes are also likely to boost margins in the near term. Our estimates factor in a

margin expansion of 180bps over FY20-FY23E for BRIT.

Increase FY21-22 forecasts by 12%; reiterate Buy: We increase FY21-22E earnings by

12% and expect consensus growth and earnings expectation to see sharp upgrades. The

stock has recovered from its lows but has underperformed over last 2-3 years and valuations

at 41x FY22E EPS still appear attractive given the improved growth outlook. We reiterate Buy

and increase our TP to Rs3,900 from Rs3,250 based on 47x Jun-22E earnings

Group stress a concern but exposure is limited and less likely to increase: We estimate

group debt to be ~Rs70bn (based on FY19 annual reports) with BRIT exposure limited to ICD

of Rs4.5bn (no promoter pledge). While this has been a key investor concern, we note BRIT

management has maintained that ICDs to group will not increase (reduced from Rs6.8bn to

Rs4.5bn in 1HFY20) and the recent step-up in dividend will likely aid promoters address

liquidity issues.

Growth acceleration on the cards; best play on the surge in packaged foods demand

Our channel checks indicate strong demand trends for biscuits and particularly for Britannia,

making it best-placed to emerge as the biggest winner from the Covid-19 disruption. The

lockdown is driving higher in-home consumption of packaged/convenience foods, resulting in

stronger growth in the packaged foods categories. Biscuits, being affordable and healthy, are

likely to be the most preferred, and hence are witnessing stronger growth. Biscuits are also likely

to be the biggest beneficiary of the shift in consumption from unorganized/street food to

packaged foods over the medium term due to a lack of other consumption avenues. Even post

lockdown, while some categories may see a normalization in demand as consumers move out

of homes, given the increased preference for hygiene, packaged foods like biscuits should

continue to see stronger demand, in our view.

BRIT is best-placed to ride this trend with a stronger portfolio, faster innovation pace, and distribution capabilities

BRIT enjoys leadership in the category and has been consistently gaining market share in

biscuits, driven by its steady portfolio and distribution expansion. Stronger portfolio and

consistent efforts of increasing direct reach (2mn+ outlets), which has more than doubled over

the last 5 years (significantly higher than peers), makes it strongly placed to further strengthen

its shares from smaller players as well as the larger peers.

Better recovery post demon gives confidence of BRIT’s capabilities

We note even post demonetization, BRIT’s recovery and growth momentum was one of the

fastest within the consumer peers, driven by its stronger distribution network and lower presence

on the wholesale. Efforts on increasing direct reach, increased investments in rural and

underpenetrated markets are likely to pay off further during this disruption, in our view.

Exhibit 13: Sales growth post demonetization has been highest after Nestle

Source: Company, Emkay Research

Exhibit 14: Volume growth has been strong in FY18-19; 9MFY20 volumes marginally lower due to grammage reductions

Source: Company, Emkay Research

Strong balance sheet and cash position provides room for inorganic expansion. BRIT enjoys a

stronger portfolio with higher shares in premium biscuits, a faster innovation pace and ambition

to expand portfolio into adjacent categories. The recent entry into new categories of croissants,

snacks, milk shakes and wafer biscuits have so far seen limited success and are yet to scale up.

We believe the increased shift to packaged food consumption offer a better opportunity for BRIT

to get aggressive in new categories and also explore inorganic expansion into emerging

packaged foods.

Increasing dominance of its core portfolio and a strong balance sheet also provides room to

further leverage its brand equity and positive demand trends to scale up its new launches/enter

new categories once supplies and production are normalized. While innovations may take a

backseat in the near term, we believe the disruption driving consumer preference increasingly

toward trusted brands with hygiene and quality should benefit BRIT to expand its portfolio and

meet its ambition of becoming a total foods company.

Multiple tailwinds for margin expansion

Our channel checks also indicate BRIT is focusing more on its stronger and faster moving brands

including Good Day, Marie and creams with the production of lower-end glucose category and

smaller SKUs being curtailed. These are likely to improve its portfolio mix in the near term, driving

margin gains. Reduction in trade schemes and reduced competitive activity, along with lower

input prices, should also help drive stronger margin expansion in FY21. Prices of key inputs such

as wheat, sugar, palm oil and milk are down 4-5% compared to average FY20 prices.

Lastly, BRIT has exhibited a strong cost-saving culture driving efficiencies and reduction in

overheads by ~500 bps over the last 6 years. Focus on reducing plastic, distance to market,

increasing production efficiencies through higher in-house manufacturing have resulted in

improved profitability. Continued focus on cost efficiencies, benefits of the scale-up of the

Ranjangaon facility and further ramp-up in in-house manufacturing are likely to lead to more

margin expansion in the future.

Valuations still attractive given stronger growth vs. peers; re-iterate top Buy in consumer

We increase our FY21-22 earnings forecast by 12% and now bake in a sales and earnings CAGR

of 11% and 16%, respectively (8% higher than consensus). We believe that further upsides to

our forecast are possible from faster market share gains, rising shift to packaged foods driving

higher growth in biscuits/cakes and margin gains from lower input prices and competition.

On our revised estimates, stock trades at 41x FY22E EPS which looks attractive given the

improved growth outlook. Improved growth outlook, along with BRIT’s better execution, can drive

further re-rating, in our view. We reiterate Buy/OW in EAP and raise our TP to Rs3,900 from

Rs3,250, based 47x June-22 EPS.

Loans to group businesses, a key concern for investors

The stock has witnessed an overhang from higher group debt and loans given by BRIT to group

businesses (ICDs of Rs9bn in H1FY20) with expectations it may increase post Covid-19

disruption due to increased stress in group’s airline and real estate businesses. We estimate

group debt to be ~Rs70bn (based on FY19 annual reports). While this has been a key investor

concern, we note BRIT management has maintained that ICDs to group companies will not

increase (ICDs in H1FY20 had reduced from Rs6.8bn to Rs4.5bn) and the recent step-up in

dividend will likely aid promoters address liquidity issues in other group businesses.
