Sector: FMCG
CCL Products Ltd.
The company recently released its Q1FY15 results. The results are a
testimony to the management’s strategy of profitable growth. The
company has enumerated the following focal points which will drive
growth in the future:
o Firstly in domestic markets the company plans to expand its
presence of its retail brand ‘Continental Coffee”. Priced at a
premium this is offering is not a head along war with Nestle & HUL.
The product is a freeze dried offering as compared to the existing
offerings of instant coffee in India (are primarily spray dried coffee).
Over the next 2 to 3 years CCL wants ~ 15% of the existing capacity
in India to be used for domestic markets.The domestic markets are
much more profitable as well.
o Secondly, in Vietnam the company is expected to reach 50% capacity
utilization in FY15. Strong Demand coupled with cost savings on
account of local procurement of raw bean has enabled the company
to be competitively present in the market. Q1 saw profit out of
Vietnam operations. These operations enjoy a 4 year tax holiday and
as the contribution from this region increases going forward the tax
saving will enable profits to grow at a higher rate.The company plans
to double the capacity to 20,000 MT for the Vietnamese operations
next fiscal with minimum capex as the foundation was already setup
when the first has was being setup. This too will add volumes and
scale to CCL operations over the next 2 years.

lower. Consolidated PAT grew much faster at 587% to `20 crs. on the ack
of Vietnamese operations breaking even on the PAT level. We expect
Operating profit margins to remain in range of 19-20%. PAT will grow
much faster as Vietnamese operations ramp up and become PAT
positive.The tax holiday will further perk up growth. We expect PAT
to grow by ~35-40% for the next 2 to 3 years.
Outlook &Valuations:
We believe the growth levers for CLL products to be well placed. The
company’s focus on growing its presence in the domestic market with a
strong brand coupled with ramp-up ofVietnamese operations will pave the
road to healthy profitable growth for the next 2-3 years. At the CMP of
````69.2/- the stock trades at 9.6x its FY15E estimated EPS of ````7.2/-.
We recommend investors to ACCUMULATE the stock.
