LT FOODS reported an operating profit of Rs.166 cr.

LT FOODS reported an operating profit of Rs.166 cr.

LT Foods (LTF’s) declared its Q1 FY22-23 results with revenue rising 32.8% YOY to Rs 1,611 crore. The operating profit was up by 27.7% to Rs 166 crore and net profit went up by 23.28% YOY. Its profit margins recovered sequentially but contracted YOY. The net profit stood at Rs. 95 Cr, compared to Rs. 76 Cr. in June 2021. The revenue growth was on account of accelerated brand investments across various segments.

Margins under pressure:

The gross margin improved by 110bps YoY, aided by an improvement in product mix and higher realisation. However, EBITDA margin fell by 40 basis points year on year to 10.0% due to higher freight costs and additional brand investments.LTF has a strong focus on a value-added portfolio, which will support margin improvement in the long-term. The Health & Convenience product segments, which include ready-to-eat products, contributed 2% in FY22, an improvement from 1.5% in FY21. The company targets a 150 bps expansion in EBITDA margin through product mix, operational efficiency, and scale.
The green energy initiatives by the company will provide production efficiency. We anticipate that EBITDA margins will moderate in the near future due to higher costs, but will gradually improve thereafter. LTF’s consistent efforts on brand strengthening and distribution network expansion, as well as region and product diversification via organic and inorganic routes, have been the growth strategy.The recent acquisition in the Jasmine rice segment will strengthen market share. The re-opening of HoReCa channels is also aiding growth, while LTF’s strong focus on value-added products will improve margins.

Valuations:

LT Foods’ EPS was at Rs. 2.80 in June 2022, up from Rs. 2.27 in June 2021. The ROCE and ROE were at 14.8% and 15.6%, respectively. The stock was trading at a P/E ratio of 9.47x. The debt to equity ratio was 0.66x, whereas the asset turnover ratio was at 1.28x. The interest coverage ratio stood at 7.55x. The scrip is trading at Rs. 91.6, up by 2.92% on Monday.

Nestle India reported a net profit of Rs. 515 crores:
Business, Editorials, Equities, Markets, Research - September 7, 2022

Nestle India reported a net profit of Rs. 515 crores:

Nestle India reported a net profit of Rs. 515 crores:

Nestle India reported a total revenue growth of 16.1% YoY and 1.4% QoQ to Rs. 4036.6 crores. The net profit decreased by 4.3% YoY and 13.3% QoQ to Rs. 515.3 crores. Domestic sales increased by 16.4% with a healthy balance of pricing and volume & mix, and export sales increased by 0.7%. The cost of materials increased due to inflation, particularly edible oil, milk and its derivatives, and packaging materials, partly offset by better realizations. The 15% raw material inflation led to a 304bps decline in gross margins, to 54.0%. The EBITDA decreased by 3.4% YoY and 11.4% QoQ to Rs. 819.5 crores, while the EBITDA margin came in at 20.3%, which declined by 409bps YoY and 293bps QoQ.

Maintaining steady growth through the launch of new products.

The milk products and nutrition sectors witnessed double-digit growth, driven by strong growth in the Milkmaid brand. The out-of-home categories such as confectionaries and liquid beverages registered a strong growth of above 20% on the back of the opening up of offices and business-led initiatives, while the food category continued its strong double-digit streak of growth with improved market share in MAGGI Noodles. The company continued to see strong momentum in megacities and metros, as well as strong acceleration across smaller towns and classes.

Nestle is continuously focusing on entering new categories to maintain its consistent growth momentum in the medium to long term. The company acquired the pet food business of Purina Petcare India Pvt. Ltd. (PFB) from its parent entity Nestlé S.A. for Rs. 123.5 crores. The pet food business (PFB) has evolved very positively and has an exciting future with pet adoption on the rise post-pandemic. PFB has clocked a CAGR of 39.4% over CY18–21 and a turnover of Rs. 36 crores in FY22, valued at a price-to-sales ratio of 3.4x its sales. It derived 14% of its sales from the e-commerce channel. The pet food market in India has been estimated at Rs. 4,000 crores, with dry dog food comprising 75% of the category.
Going forward, leveraging Nestlé India’s network would further accelerate the growth of the pet food business in India. Nestle India Ltd. (NIL) is the market leader in instant noodles and baby food products in India and the No. 2 player in the instant coffee and chocolate segment. One of the most interesting aspects of NIL in recent years has been the spontaneous pace of launches. Since 2016, NIL has launched over 90 products across segments, including new launches as well as variants to boost volume growth and market share gain, with 20 projects in the pipeline.

Nestle continues to focus on innovation to drive growth. New launches across segments have led to strong volume growth over the last few years. The management stated that innovation will be undertaken across product categories and that some of the products launched in the global market can also be introduced in the domestic market. The company is also considering adding new categories that will add value to its existing portfolio. It is expected that the aggressive pace of new innovations, the success of new launches, and the improvement in demand could further accelerate the company’s growth. The major risks for the NIL are increased competitive intensity, rising input prices with an inability to pass on the same, and higher-than-expected A&P spending.

Valuations:

NIL will continue to deliver strong growth going forward as well and will gain share in the core categories, led by distribution expansion, further strengthening of its position in rural areas with the launch of new products backed by R&D capabilities, and growth in the premium portfolio. These factors, along with market leadership in 80% of its categories, mean the company has enough pricing power to further drive premiumization along with volume growth. The EPS was Rs. 53 in the June quarter. The stock is trading at a PE ratio of 80x. The EBITDA was at 50.4x. The ROCE and ROE stood at 147% and 113%, respectively. The stock was trading at Rs. 19196 on September 7th, down by 0.81%.

The company had posted a net profit of Rs 280 crore during the April-June quarter a year ago, Dalmia Bharat said in a regulatory filing. Dalmia Bharat’s total expenses rose 37.7 percent to Rs 3,072 crore in Q1 FY 2022–23 from Rs 2,231 crore a year ago.

Key highlights for the quarter:

The continuous efforts and resilience of teams have enabled them to deliver good performance again on the back of strong volume growth and continuous cost leadership. The company did capacity additions and commenced commercial production of a 2.9 Mn Tonnes Murli Cement plant in Maharashtra. The firms’ total cement capacity increased to 35.9 MNT and their total clinker capacity stood at 18.9 MNT. In FY22, CO2 emissions were reduced further to 489kg/ton of cement, with a water positivity of 12.5x.

The company will divest its IEX investment as and when it requires additional funds for CAPEX.

The management aims to save power and fuel costs as it commissions 41MW/69MW of WHRS/solar power units in FY23, taking the total renewable capacity to 173MW in FY23 from 105MW in FY22. The management is optimistic about demand and expects it to rise in FY23, led by government spending on infrastructure and housing. The major risks for the company to watch are lower demand and higher costs.

DCB Bank’s (DCBB) Q1 FY23 earnings

DCB Bank’s (DCBB) Q1 FY23 earnings:

The PAT for DCB bank was at Rs. 97 cr. in comparison to Rs. 34 cr. from the same quarter a year ago, with a growth of 188%. Total revenue in the June quarter was Rs. 949 Cr., compared to Rs. 920 Cr. in March 2021 and Rs. 846 Cr. in June 2021. There was an 18% growth in advances YOY and a 14% growth in deposits. The Gross NPA as on June 2022 was at 4.21% while the Net NPA was at 1.82 qoq as on June 2022. Both Gross NPA and Net NPA declined sequentially as well as in comparison to last year.

Ratios to improve in the June quarter:

The Provision Coverage Ratio (PCR) was at 69.480 and the PCR without considering Gold Loans NPAs was at 73.39%. The Capital Adequacy Ratio was at 18.47%, with Tier I at 15.44% and Tier ll at 3.03% as per norms. The CASA (Current Account Savings Account) ratio was at 29% in the June quarter compared to 27% in the previous quarter. The savings account balances between 2 lakh and less than 5 lakh rupees had an interest rate of 5.00%, while balances between 5 lakh and less than 10 lakh rupees had an interest rate of 6.00%. On savings account balances between 10 lakh and less than 25 lakh, there is an interest rate of 6.75%. DCB Bank has given a maximum interest rate of 7% on savings account balances between 25 lakh and less than 2 crore. Savings accounts with balances of between 2 crore and less than 50 crore will now earn interest at a rate of 5.50%, while accounts with balances of over 50 crore will now earn interest at a rate of 5.00%.

Due to lower credit costs and better loan growth, gross slippages continued to remain elevated, mainly stemming from the gold portfolio, largely offset by higher recovery and upgrades, resulting in a GNPA of 4.3%. The stress pool continues to remain sticky, but the management expects improving collection efficiency to reflect in better asset quality on the back of a granular and secured portfolio of approximately 95%. With asset quality still stubborn and loan growth looking soft, there is less room for any positive surprise from operating efficiency.

Valuations:

The price to book ratio stood at 0.64x. The return on assets was 0.68%. The interest coverage ratio was 1.22x for June 2021. The return on capital employed was at 6.30% while the return on equity was at 7.37%. The EBITDA was recorded at 14.0x. The (CAR) capital adequacy ratio continues to be strong at 18.47%. The scrip was trading at Rs. 83.1, down by 0.54% on Wednesday.

Insecticide India reports a net profit of Rs. 38 Cr.

Insecticide India reports a net profit of Rs. 38 Cr.

In the June quarter, Insecticide India reported total sales of Rs. 561 Cr. The company’s net profit stood at Rs 38 crores as compared to Rs 22 crores in the March quarter. EBITDA was 66 crores in Q1 FY23, compared to 42 crores in Q4 FY22 and 61 crores in Q1 FY22, with EBITDA margins contracting to 90 basis points. In the first quarter of FY23, B2C, B2B, and exports contributed 66%, 29%, and 5%, respectively. The better product mix, coupled with price hikes in the recent past, led to a gross margin improvement of 70bps. The Institutional (B2B) category grew by +30% YoY in 1Q.

New launches to increase demand:

Insecticide India has launched 3 new products in 1Q and intends to launch another 6 products in FY23E. There is a CAPEX of Rs1.1bn largely behind, and the technical synthesis plant is to commence at the end of the year. Going forward, we expect the business to pick up with new launches, a better margin profile of in-licensing, the inauguration of new capacities, and backward integration projects. The management expects double-digit revenue growth with at least 100 bps improvements in margins to be led by better contributions from new product launches and superior product mix in FY23E.

In 1Q FY23, the ITI (innovation turnover index) index was at 12.2%. They have recently received four patents for fungicides and pesticides, with a few more patents to be granted in the subsequent quarters. The company launched 3 new products in 1QFY23: Torry (Maize herbicide), Sargent Xpress (insecticide), and Himax (non-selective weedicide). While the revenues from the recently launched products in FY22-Hachiman, Oxim, and Shinwa grew 3x in 1QFY23. There has been a marginal increase in the CAPEX budget on account of inflationary costs and non-budgeted incidental expenditures. The technical synthesis plant at Dahej is expected to commence operations by the end of 1HFY23. We expect similar growth momentum in FY24. However, the company lowered export revenue guidance by 25% to Rs. 150 crore.

Valuation:

The EPS  stood at Rs.54.0, while the stock is trading at a P/E of 18.5X. The 5-year P/E stood at 11.2x. The EBITDA was at 11.6x and the interest coverage ratio was at 25.7x. The ROCE was at 16% and the ROE was at 12.7%. The scrip closed at Rs.1000, down by 1.06% on Tuesday.
