Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd INITIATING COVERAGE | Sector: Consumer Durables
September 18, 2020
Emerging as a domestic champion in the EMS space DIXON Technologies (DIXON), India’s largest EMS player is currently in a sweet spot given a confluence of rising demand, import substitution and favorable regulatory support at the same time. The company is preparing for aggressive scale‐up across product segments by investing in increasing management bandwidth, adding export markets as a key growth engine and continuously increasing the value addition in products like lighting, washing machines and now televisions. Fungible capacities, backward integration, focus on ODM solutions vs OEM and continued addition of MNC clients have been key growth enablers behind driving a 30% revenue and 56% PAT growth over FY15‐20. Further, an asset‐light balance sheet, low WC cycle, disciplined capital investments with 18 months payback make it an attractive and scalable business. After establishing a dominant presence in lighting, company is eyeing a similar positioning in TVs, WMs and mobiles. High asset turns and low capex requirement should take ROCE above 40% despite an expected revenue and PAT CAGR of 35%/39% over FY20‐25E. Given the sharp run‐up, further upside is dependent on the company getting one or two mobile PLI licenses, which can be transformational. We initiate coverage with BUY with a PT of Rs 11,056 based on 32x FY23E earnings (factoring in one PLI license), which would increase to Rs 13,763 in case the company gets both.
Market leadership, timely expansion & import restrictions driving industry‐leading growth DIXON is the market leader in LED lights, semi‐automatic washing machines and LED TVs and continues to attract more clients in those segments given its scale economies. Its success in lighting can now play out in other categories as it gets into fully automatic washing machines and smart TVs. Contribution from mobiles (which is 70% of industry and only 12% for DIXON’s revenues) is likely to increase significantly once the PLI licenses come and DIXON establishes a dominant capacity there as well. Import restrictions on LED panels and a favorable tax structure have also enabled DIXON to gain market share across segments.
PLI scheme for mobiles – management is hopeful of two licenses; we build in one for now The company has made two out of seven applications for domestic manufacturers to participate in the Government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for mobile manufacturing. It has a strong chance of selection given five applicants will be selected, and it could be a windfall if both licenses come through. The company has already concluded an agreement with a global brand to make smartphones for the domestic and smartphone market and targets to start production from 4QFY21 if the approval comes through. We build in a revenue of Rs 7bn in FY21 and Rs 90bn in FY25E at an EBITDA margin of 3.2% assuming one license is approved. PLI in other products like STBs and lighting are also under discussion.
Diversifying across clients, geographies and product segments DIXON has steadily added new product segments to its portfolio and has also seen success in getting into more ODM solutions vs plain vanilla OEM business. Its MNC client base has also been increasing with current key clients being Philips, Panasonic, Samsung and Xiaomi, where it has focused on cross selling opportunities to diversified OEMs. After reaching a dominant position and scale in lighting and WM, export opportunities have now opened up in both. Key growth drivers going forward would be higher value‐added products like fully automatic washing machines, smartphones under the PLI scheme and otherwise and set top boxes.
Increased scale, better mix and backward integration to drive margins Increased automation in lighting will improve efficiencies and reduce employee costs, driving up margins. Entry into fully automatic washing machines would also be margin driver while increased backward integration through SMT lines and ODM solutions in TVs could also improve margins. New segments like set top boxes and medical devices are high margin segments as well. Mobile is the only business which will have lower margins but very high asset turns given the OEM nature of business.
Strong balance sheet and astute capital allocation give confidence on sustainability The company should be able to fund an estimated Rs 900mn annual capex comfortably (excluding Rs 2bn per PLI license over four years) given its strong balance sheet. In addition, management’s high hurdle rate for new projects at 25‐30% will ensure solid return ratios.

COMPANY BASICS Started in 1993 by promoter Sunil Vachani with its first product offering of colour television,
DIXON has developed into a fully integrated product and solution provider in the EMS industry with an overall market share of about 8%.
It currently manufactures under six verticals – consumer electronics, home appliances, mobile phones, lighting products, reverse logistics and security systems. It has recently entered two new segments – set top boxes and medical electronics.
DIXON works with clients under two business models – OEM where product designs and raw materials are provided by the OEM brand DIXON does assembly as per client specifications and the ODM model where product development, designing, raw material sourcing and manufacturing is done in‐house by the company. ODM is a much more profitable model given the larger scope of work.
Currently, DIXON manufactures lighting products and semi‐automatic washing machines under the ODM model. The company has built strong volume share in 3 segments – lighting (50%), LED TVs (40%) and semi‐automatic washing machines (30%).
DIXON has nine manufacturing units located in Dehradun, Noida and Tirupati.
Company has posted a strong revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 30%/47%/56% over FY15‐20.

FAVORABLE INDUSTRY TAILWINDS
Atmanirbhar Bharat program shows strong commitment from the government to incentivize electronics manufacturing The Government of India during the last decade has implemented various reforms/policies to increase manufacturing of electronics in the domestic market. Rising imports in this segment prompted the government to launch the National Policy of Electronics (NPE) in 2012. Under this scheme the Government created an ecosystem for globally competitive ESDM (Electronic System and Design and Manufacturing) sector in India. This policy laid the foundation for the domestic ESDM sector. India has been incentivising domestic assembly and manufacturers by imposing duties on imported mobiles. India has been using a differential duty structure since 2015‐16, which has been extended to the component level via its Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP). The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in April 2017 introduced a Phased Manufacturing Programme (PMP) with the objective of reducing India's import dependency and increase domestic value addition. The approach was for import substitution by putting custom duties on parts and components to incentivize first assembly and progressively increase component localization. The measures implemented aided in improving India’s share in global electronics manufacturing from 1.3% (2012) to 3.0% (2018). However, this was well short of its targeted revenues due to limited value addition in the domestic market in products like mobile and LED TVs.

The various policies implemented in the mobile phone manufacturing sector only aided in reducing imports of fully built‐in products. These policies were not able to develop the component value system in the domestic market. As per a government report, the domestic electronics hardware manufacturing sector faces lack of a level playing field vis‐à‐vis competing nations. The sector suffers disability of around 8.5% to 11% on account of lack of adequate infrastructure, domestic supply chain and logistics; high cost of finance; inadequate availability of quality power; limited design capabilities and focus on R&D by the industry; and inadequacies in skill development.
China +1 strategy to gain prominence for more global majors Recent issues between US and China are set to increase the adoption of China +1 as many global majors might look at diversifying away from China. Although China remains the world’s largest manufacturer with more than 50% share and has strong supply chain advantages, global manufacturers are looking at other alternatives given the rising labor costs in China which are 2‐3x of India. In addition, India has a large underpenetrated domestic market which would work in its favor vs other competing countries.

To promote local manufacturing of components and the complete value chain to make India a global manufacturing hub for mobile manufacturing the government has announced the Production‐linked incentive scheme (PLI). The scheme shall extend an incentive of 4% to 6% on incremental sales (over base year) of goods manufactured in India and covered under target segments, to eligible companies, for a period of five (5) years subsequent to the base year as defined. According to the scheme, companies that make mobile phones which sell for Rs15,000 or more will get an incentive of up to 6% on incremental sales of all such mobile phones made in

India. The PLI scheme will be active for five years. It will take FY 2019‐20 as the base year for calculation of incentives. Any additional expenditure incurred by companies on plant, machinery, equipment, research and development and transfer of technology for manufacture of mobile phones and related electronic items will be eligible for the incentive scheme. However, all investment done by companies on land and buildings for the project will not be considered for any incentives or determine eligibility of the scheme.
The proposed scheme is likely to benefit global & domestic players in the field of mobile manufacturing and specified electronics components and bring large‐scale electronics manufacturing into India. As per media reports at least 22 companies including tech giants Samsung, Apple and Flex have applied for the incentive‐based scheme.

DIXON has made two applications in the domestic players category for mobile phones under the Rs15,000 price bracket. We believe DIXON is a major contender under these scheme as it there is a different application for domestic manufacturers and DIXON is amongst the largest EMS players in the country. Since ~75% of the mobile phones sold in India are under Rs15,000, these provides huge scope for the company to ramp up over the next five years. DIXON has already started identifying a fully constructed facility in Noida which it plans to lease out if its gets approvals under the scheme. It has already finalized an agreement with a client for both domestic and export markets and is also under discussion with another client in case both its applications get approved. Given the size of smartphone market in India at 180mn units annually, DIXON is targeting a capacity of ~45mn units, which will be about 25% of this demand. The company already has a capacity of 11mn, which can be ramped up to 45mn if both licenses are approved.
Why we believe strong growth can continue even beyond FY25?
Given the large Indian domestic electronics demand of US$ 106bn which is growing at 22% CAGR and should reach US$ 400bn by 2025, we do expect the supply deficit to remain which should continue to drive import substitution even beyond 2025, which should keep opening up more opportunities for leading players like DIXON.
Given India’s lower labor and overhead costs compared to China and a few other markets, a number of companies would look at India as a manufacturing destination for supply to global markets, which we believe is another key long term growth driver for DIXON as it continues to strengthen its engagement with large global brands.

The government’s thrust on developing a strong supply chain ecosystem in India and DIXON’s continued focus on increasing value addition should help DIXON drive strong market share in large categories like smartphones and TVs.
New schemes like the recent mobile PLI scheme should be able to attract high value added manufacturing. Seeing the strong response to the scheme from both domestic and global players, there are talks of extending similar PLI schemes in other product segments like lighting, set top boxes and other white goods as well which can open up more opportunities for DIXON.
DIXON has already started to venture into other high potential segments like set top boxes, medical electronics and refrigerators which can open up further growth levers in the medium term. Another high potential area in the future could be personal computers where no Indian company has ventured into so far.

Consumer Electronics This segment accounts for 48% of the company’s overall revenues and consists manufacturing of LED TV and PCBs used in invertor ACs. Segment growth has been slower than its peers as large players preferred to import TV directly under the FTA agreements. The segment’s revenues received a major boost in FY20 led by the strong acceptance of Xiaomi brand TVs and the

government’s move to remove import duty on open cells from 5% earlier (60% of cost). Adding to the strong demand from Xiaomi, the company’s growth was also boosted by addition of new customers and commissioning of new SMT line for manufacturing PCBs for invertor ACs. In FY20, the segment registered 76% yoy growth largely led by LED TVs. PCB revenues grew 65.6% yoy to Rs1.3bn as the company ramped up production for its anchor customer Daikin.
Consumer electronics (TV) revenue and margin expectations

Over the last one year, the company has added new customers in this segment as duty on open cell was removed and more restrictions were put on imports. With the addition of Samsung to its client list the company now has India’s top 2 players as its customers. New customers include Nokia, Toshiba, Hisense and private label of Flipkart apart from the anchor customer of Xiaomi and Samsung. To meet the rising demand from anchor customers, the company increased its manufacturing capacity from 3.6mn units to 4.4mn units in August 2020, accounting for 33% of the domestic demand. Demand in this segment would be further boosted by the Government’s move to include TVs in restricted list, as 25‐30% of TVs were imported from China and Vietnam which would not need DGFT approval. This would reduce imports and increase demand for domestic products. With the strong orderbook from anchor customers, at the end of Q1 FY20 the company is further increasing its capacity to 5.5mn units, accounting for 40% of domestic demand. In addition to meeting the strong domestic demand the company is also in talks with major players to start exporting. We expect this segment to witness revenue CAGR of 25% over FY20‐23E led by shift to domestic production and higher orderbook from Samsung.
Samsung’s contribution to DIXON’s TV revenues should increase going ahead as the company shifts its manufacturing base from Vietnam due to the new licensing regime which will reduce the dependence on Xiaomi from 70% currently to ~40% by FY22. Xiaomi continues to do well in the TV segment given its strong online presence despite the anti‐China sentiment.
DIXON is the largest integrated TV manufacturer in India. The company provides end to end solution including auto insertion, SMT and LCM module assembly. The company also has backward integration capability into LED panel assembly with clean room. Further capacity of SMT lines have been increased to 1.8mn/annum from 1mn earlier. The company is also building up its R&D and offering smart solutions to customers. Share of ODM business in FY20 stood at 6% (vs 9% in FY19) as the share of large OEM anchor customer increased sharply. The company would be offering its ODM products under its smart solutions to large brands. Shift to large TV sizes and expansion of PCB lines are aiding margin improvements. Increase in share of ODM solutions and improvement in backward integration would lead to 60bps margin expansion in this segment from 2.4% in FY20 to 2.7% in FY23E.
Home appliances This segment comprises of semi‐automatic washing machines and accounts for 9% of overall revenues. The company currently has 140 models from 6Kg to 10Kg & has the largest capacity in India at 1.2mn/annum which is almost 28% of the domestic market of semi‐automatic washing

machines. Of the overall washing machine market, semi‐automatic WM accounts for 60% of the total industry volumes. In this segment, majority of the companies prefer to outsource production due to no technological edge. The focus is largely on reduction of costs for the SWM machines. Leveraging the strong R&D capabilities in the segment, the company is able to design and produce technologically advanced washing machine for its customers. DIXON derives 100% revenues from Washing Machines on an ODM basis and offers the largest bouquet of ODM models in SWM segment. Samsung remains the largest customer with a share of 45%.
Washing machine revenue and margin expectations

The company has majority of the brands present in the SWM category as its customers. With Panasonic as its anchor customer from FY14, the company has added Samsung as a major brand in addition to the small players like Godrej, Llyods, Haier, MarQ from Flipkart, Micromax over the last five years. The company has recently added Voltas Beko and Reliance Retail (Kelvinator + BPL brands) as its new customer. To meet the strong orderbook from its anchor customers and addition of new large players the company has expanded its capacity from 1.2mn units to 1.45mn units at its existing plants. In this segment, the company would grow faster than the market on the back of addition of new players to its portfolio.
To cater to the rising demand of Fully automatic washing machine (FAWM) the company is setting up a plant in Tirupati for a top loading WM with a capacity of 0.6mn units/annum for 40‐45 variants. The new plant is expected to be ready by the end of Q3 FY21. The company has already closed an agreement with a large brand and ~3/4th of the capacity is already tied up.
We expect revenue growth to be muted in FY21 due to loss of production during Q1 and the new top loading WM plant would start contributing from Q4 FY21. From FY22, revenue growth would accelerate with both greenfield and brownfield capacities functional for the full year. Revenue growth is expected to remain high at 40% in FY22 and 25% in FY23. Margins in this segment are high as the company completely operates on an ODM basis. With improvement in scale and commissioning of high margin TLWM, we expect margins to improve from 9.9% in FY19 to 11.5% in FY23.
The company has also decided to foray into the refrigerator segment with a capacity of 0.8mn at a capex of Rs 1bn with a payback period of 24‐30 months. Work is expected to commence by 4QFy21 and production is expected to begin from FY23.
Lighting DIXON has become a significant player in the domestic lighting market. The company caters to majority of the large players in the lighting space. The company is the largest producer of LED bulbs in the domestic market and is amongst the top 5 players in the global market. With a capacity of 20mn units per month, it accounts for ~45% of the total domestic demand. The company also has 1.5mn units of batons and 0.6mn units of downlighters capacity. The company has registered 28% revenue CAGR over FY16‐20 led by huge capacity expansion and addition of new customers. The company has transformed itself into a lower cost producer in the domestic

The company has strong R&D capabilities enabling it to develop new lost cost innovative products & has backward integration capabilities in sheet metal, plastic moulding & wound components. Stringent quality norms have tilted the balance towards large EMS players. Share of ODM business in lighting increased significantly to 87% in FY20 from 71% in FY19.
Lighting segment revenue and margin expectations

In the domestic market, the company’s share in bulbs stood at 30%, followed by 10‐12% in battens and 7‐8% in downlighters. The company is expanding its battens capacity from 1.5mn units/annum to 18mn units/annum and that of downlighters from 0.6mn units to 4mn units. The company targets to increase its domestic market share in these segments to 20‐25% by FY21‐end given its existing relationships with brands and duties levied on battens/downlighters. The company has also decided to offer solutions for LED commercial lights, street lights and flood lights by the end of this year, which is another Rs 100bn market. The company has also started to export for its largest anchor customer Philips. DIXON executed its first major export order in Q1 FY21 and exported to US & Indonesia. It is also in talks with large retail chains globally and expects revenue contribution to jump from Q4 FY22. In the domestic market, the company has added new clients like Havells, HPL and Reliance Retail over the last one year. We estimate revenue CAGR of 13% in this segment over FY20‐23E.
DIXON witnessed sharp margin improvement from 3.1% in FY17 to 8.6% in FY20 due to innovative product offering and increase in ODM share. To tackle the issue of labour availability and to reduce costs the company plans to automate its lighting manufacturing unit. 7 automated lines are under installation at its Noida plant and the company plans to produce 1/3rd of its lighting products through automation. Commissioning of these lines has been delayed due to restrictions on travel. Increased share of automated lines coupled increase in share of higher margin products would improve margins in this segment. We estimate margins to improve 60bps over FY20‐23E to 9.2%.
Security system and medical electronics DIXON entered the security cameras and surveillance systems segment in FY18 as a JV manufacturer with Aditya Infotech. The segment accounted for 5% of overall revenues. Aditya Infotech owns CP Plus cameras and is also a distributor for Chinese brand Dahua Technology (largest surveillance brand globally). DIXON has installed capacity to manufacture 0.7mn units per months of cameras and 150,000 per month of DVRs. “CP Plus” is one of the leading industry players with a market share of ~24%. The Indian security industry is consistently growing and expanding with opportunities emanating from the government and private sector verticals. The sector is expected to witness strong growth led by rising demand from security surveillance becomes the primary tool to monitor population movement and to fight crime as well.

components. Improvement in utilization coupled with increase in backward integration would aid margin expansion over the next three years.
During the last two quarters utilization levels have been weak due to lower demand from both, B2B and B2C segments. The company is utilizing this capacity for the manufacture of medical equipment. DIXON has entered into a contract with Bangalore‐based Molbio Diagnostics to manufacture a disruptive RT‐PCR COVID‐19 testing machine. The company has received an order of Rs300mn to manufacture 1,000 Qattros, a viral testing machine that can bring down COVID‐19 testing time to just 1 hour from 24‐36 hours at present. Quattro is part of Molbio’s TrueNat RT‐PCR solution that can be used to detect dozens of different infectious diseases, including COVID‐19, and has several advantages over conventional RT‐PCR models. There is a strong demand for these machines from Government hospitals, private diagnostic laboratories and global markets, although exports are banned currently. The management expects this segment to grow exponentially over the next two years and would be growth driver over the next two years.
While security systems demand could remain weak for the next couple of years given its discretionary nature, medical equipment could be a Rs 1bn annual business for the company. Margins too would improve given increase in share of higher margin (20% plus) medical electronics business.
Reverse logistics This business segment of the company involves repair & refurbishment of set top boxes, LED TV panels & mobile phones. It is one of the few companies to have Panel Repairing and LED TV refurbishment facilities. This business is more strategic in nature as it enhances the stickiness with the customers & provide them end‐to‐end solution. DIXON’s reverse logistics is catered to by its Noida III facility and 17 other service centres across the country. The segment performance is expected to remain subdued as refurbishing business in India has not taken off as was expected.
Set Top box This is the new line of business for DIXON and will start contributing significantly to the company revenues and profitability starting H2 FY21. The company is manufacturing set top boxes at its mobile plant which witnessed lower utilization due to lower offtake from Gionee and Karbonn. The company currently has order book of 0.5mn units and the business has potential to grow to 800K‐1mn units per month of production, translating into ~Rs10bn of revenue potential in FY22. The current order is from Jio and the company is expected orders to increase as it has onboarded new clients like Siti Cable, Dish TV and a leading cable operator in East India over the last six months. Execution for the Jio order is expected to start commercial production from Q2 FY21 and would ramp up in H2. The company has also started to manufacture hybrid set top boxes and that would be major growth driver going forward. Margins in this business would be similar to that of mobile phones and would be around 4%.

Mobile phones This segment was a non‐starter for the company till FY19 as majority of its customers had small market share and import component remained high. The company’s 50:50 JV with Padget Electronics was not able to rampup due to sharp decline in sales of mobiles for brands like Gionee and Karbonn. DIXON, at the beginning of FY20 bought out its JV partner’s stake at Rs270mn and converted it into a wholly owned subsidiary. With lower than expected penetration in the mobile EMS market the company focused on manufacturing feature phones. In addition to this, the company expanded its PCBA backward integration capacity to 350K per month for smart phones and 700k per month for feature phones. During Q1 FY20, the company managed to acquire Samsung, the 2nd largest player, for the manufacture of feature phones for domestic and export markets. To meet the strong orderbook from its anchor customer, DIXON setup its mobile manufacturing plant with capacity to 2.3mn units per month. Commercial production from the new facility started in November 2019 and the company achieved its rated capacity by January 2020. The company also added LG, Foxconn and Samsung during Q4 FY20 for manufacturing of smartphones. A combination of above aided the company reporting revenue growth of 51.3% yoy which accounted for 12.2% of overall revenues. The company at the end of FY20 had ~32mn units of combined annual production capacity. The share of company’s production capacity of the domestic market for feature phones stood at 25% and that for smartphones was quite minimal.

players is low. Margins in this segment are expected to remain low in the range of 3‐3.5%. In FY21, this segment is expected to register strong revenue growth led by full year contribution from feature phone segment and addition of LG and Samsung in the smartphone category. The company has increased its manufacturing capacity to ~40mn units per annum to meet the rising demand from LG and other customers. Growth in this segment would be further boosted if the company manages to obtain applications under the government’s PLI scheme.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Expect 35% revenue, 33% EBITDA and 39% PAT CAGR over FY20‐25E Over the past five years from FY15‐20, DIXON has posted industry leading revenue CAGR of 30% given a combination of solid execution ramp‐up and industry tailwinds. We expect those tailwinds to increase further and led by the company’s solid positioning and execution to drive a 35% CAGR In revenue over FY20‐25E. The topline growth is expected to be driven by mobile (80% CAGR led by one PLI scheme approval), TVs (19% CAGR), washing machines and new segments like STBs and medical electronics. Along with operating leverage, rising capacity utilization, backward integration, cost optimization and increasing ODM share, margins ex‐mobile should increase as well. Overall, assuming around 3.3% margins for the mobile PLI business, margins are expected to remain in the 4.5‐5% band through FY21‐25. This translates into an 33% EBITDA CAGR and 39% PAT CAGR over FY20‐25E.

Healthy return ratios to continue given strong asset turns DIXON enjoys a high fixed asset turnover of 15x in FY20, up from 12x in FY15 led by an increase in the mobile phone business which is predominantly OEM. While the company has grown revenue at 30% CAGR over FY15‐20, gross block has grown at a CAGR of 26%. We expect the turnover to improve further by FY25E led by a significant increase in share of the mobile business, in case the mobile PLI license gets approved.

Return ratio profile to get even better helped by the PLI scheme
Source: Company, YES Sec – Research
DIXON has generated positive operating cash flow of Rs 4bn and free cash flow of Rs 819mn over the past five years. We expect the company to generate Rs 16.6bn of OCF and Rs 9.3bn of FCF over the next five years driven by the significant increase in scale of operations.
While the margins appear low around 4.5‐5%, it is not the correct indicator of profitability as the OEM business earns only a conversion charge. Therefore, return ratios is a relevant indicator where DIXON has seen average ROEs and ROCEs of 26% and 32% over the past five years. We expect ROE and ROCE to increase to an average of 32% and 42% over FY21‐25E.
Working capital cycle to remain lean The net working capital cycle of the company has improved from 6 days in FY15 to a negative 5 days in FY20 mainly due to the lower working capital requirement in the OEM business. The company is focused on bringing down the inventory and debtor days further especially in lighting and washing machines led by improved operational efficiency, as both those ODM businesses were in a ramp‐up phase. Over FY20‐25E, we expect the WC cycle to remain at a negative 7 days despite a 35% revenue CAGR and new product development investments. Leverage position is expected to remain comfortable with sufficient internal accruals and possibilities of fund raising.

Manageable capex requirements While capex ex‐PLI should remain in the range of Rs 850‐900mn annually, in case the company gets one or two mobile PLI licenses, capex requirement annually would increase by Rs 500mn per annum per license. The company has already taken an enabling provision to raise Rs 2bn by way of either debt or equity which can be used in case it gets both licenses. Given it sharp focus on return ratios, we do not expect the company to take up any new ventures with return ratios below 25‐30% threshold.
Cash generation has picked up sharply from FY20 which should pick up further

OUTLOOK AND VALUATION DIXON is a proven growth story with a strong track record of growth and market share gains. With healthy return ratios, lean working capital cycle, healthy cash flows and strong fixed asset turnover, DIXON has consistently delivered across financial metrics. We initiate coverage with a BUY rating and a target price of Rs 11,056 based on 32x FY23E earnings factoring a 44% revenue and 49% PAT CAGR over FY20‐23E. Return ratios are likely to improve further to 34% ROE and 45% ROCE in FY23E from 26%/34% in FY20. We are currently factoring in one mobile PLI license approval in our estimates out of the two that the company has bid for. In case the company gets both licenses, our FY23 EPS would increase by Rs 85 and therefore, out target price would move up to Rs 13,763. In the rarest case that it does not get any license, our FY23 EPS would come down by Rs 85 and target price would fall to Rs 8,349. Our DCF assumptions also indicate a fair value of Rs 11,445 for the stock discounting next 15 years of cash flows at 10.2% and a terminal growth rate of 4%.
Given its successful track record till now, we are ascribing a strong multiple to the company’s expected earnings which factors in that DIXON will be able to maintain and improve its relations with marquee clients and keep bringing in new MNC brands which do not have manufacturing presence in India. In addition, continued strengthening of management bandwidth given entry into multiple new categories and capital allocation strategy would be key monitorables from a valuation perspective.

Key risks Client concentration as 4 large clients Xiaomi, Samsung, Panasonic and Phillips contribute
about 50‐55% of revenue, although we believe that would be manageable given DIXON’s total contribution to the large MNCs is not much and export opportunities are also opening up.
Risk of technology obsolescence is always a risk in EMS manufacturing, but the risk is mitigated as most of the facilities are fungible across verticals and DIXON is also aggressively moving towards higher value ‐added items across segments.
While the mobile PLI scheme can be completely transformational for the company, execution remains a risk as the company has not been very successful in that vertical till now.
Given the high import dependence on China, any significant supply disruptions due to any government actions or otherwise remains a key risk, although the company is trying to increase the proportion of local sourcing.
An unexpected demand in consumer demand for electronics can impact the capacity utilization and growth outlook, while the company is trying to open up export markets to reduce that risk.
An unexpected increase in competition from global contract manufacturers like Foxconn and Holitech remains a risk, although OEMs preference to keep a diversified vendor base should help DIXON.
