GSKCHL is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% in CY10-12 supported by new product


launches, higher penetration & strong performance of its key brands. The company is anticipated to post double-digit growth in its core brands, Horlicks and Boost, driven by steady volume growth and price hikes.

During CY11-12, we expect GSKCHLs margins to remain at the current level despite
lower gross margins, driven largely by higher operating leverage and lower ad-spend. Hence, we expect earnings to post 18% CAGR driven by steady top-line growth, higher other income and price hikes.

The company has a strong balance sheet with zero debt on its books and operating cash
flows of about Rs2-4bn per annum. The company plans to incur CAPEX of nearly Rs1.2bn in CY11, a major chunk of which will be used for capacity expansion.

GSKCHL is actively exploring for acquisitions in segments such as nutrition, medicinal and
OTC products. Acquisitions, if any, could be a major growth driver for the company. We anticipate that the company will use a portion of its CAPEX to acquire businesses/brands as and when opportunity arises.

In CY10, GSKCHL posted net sales growth of 20% to Rs23.1bn, while net profit increased
by 28.8% to Rs3.0bn. The growth was led by 18.4% growth in Horlicks and 24.3% growth in Boost. Volume growth in malt beverages stood at 13.8%.

Based on CY12 P/E multiple of 25, the fair value for the company works out to Rs 2,458 Financial Snapshot

GSKCHL, with its manufacturing plants located in Nabha, Rajahmundry and Sonepat, has a total workforce of over 2700 people, each driven by a spirit of enterprise. It has a strong marketing and distribution network in India comprising of over 0.65mn retail outlets. The companys business is based on scientific innovation and has dedicated consumer healthcare R&D centres. GSKCHL is in the process of increasing capacity at the Sonepat plant by 16-18,000MT per annum, which is expected to be completed by CY12. The cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 2.2bn, of which GSKCHL has already spent Rs 0.68bn till Dec10. Malted food drinks have been around in India for many decades, used as additives to milk for children's nutrition and also as taste modifiers. Increasingly health conscious consumers are looking at functional foods which provide essential vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates etc. We believe GSK Consumer will continue to register healthy revenue growth momentum given its dominant positioning and strong brand equity in malted food drink space. The company adopted a customer segmentation approach and introduced many new variants like Womens Horlicks, Horlicks Junior, Horlicks Lite etc to target need-based demand. Alongside this the company stepped up its innovation both on the product and packaging front. It introduced more flavors and more formats for its malted food products creating more excitement around its product portfolio. With rising income levels and growing urbanization, Indian consumers are now increasingly asking for nutritional and convenience foods and GSKCHLs products meet both these criteria. The companys strong focus on deepening its distribution reach aided by increasing offtake of affordable small size packs will further support growth rates. www.fullertonsecurities.co.in

In instant noodles, GSKCHL is in a nascent stage and lags market share compared to other market leaders such as Nestles Maggi (market share of 80%). However, there exists tremendous opportunity for the segment as per capita consumption of instant noodles in volume terms in India lags compared to other developing markets.

Core brands along with strong footing, new launches hold potential: GSKCHL continues to post double-digit

growth in its core brands, Horlicks and Boost, driven by steady volume growth (management has indicated steady volume growth of nearly15%) and almost 7% from price hikes. Moreover, new product launches (Lucozade, Horlicks Cream Biscuits, Horlicks Foodles) have started gaining foothold. Horlicks Foodles, launched in the North-West markets, has received encouraging response and already gained almost 3% market share (overall India), while sustaining the 6% market share in the South-East markets. Margins to remain stable over CY10-12E

Margins to remain stable over CY10-12E: During CY2011-12, we expect GSKCHLs operating margins to remain at

nearly 20% despite higher cost, driven largely by higher operating leverage and lower ad-spend (expected to be maintained at approx.15-16% of sales). Hence, we expect net earnings to post 17.4% CAGR driven by steady top-line growth (18% CAGR) and higher other income (cash balance of over Rs9.5bn as at the end of 4QCY2010).

Horlicks portfolio re-launch will continue to aid high volume top-line growth: GSK Consumer posted an annual

growth of 21.4% in top-line in the quarter led by 15% volume growth and 7% value growth (price hikes of nearly 5% in November 2010). Exports were flat due to slowdown in the Sri Lankan markets. The MFD and biscuits segments continued their strong growth on account of re-packaging and re-launch of all products in the categories. While the MFD category posted healthy volume growth with Horlicks and Boost, biscuits also registered a hefty growth on account of new product launches. All new product launches did fairly well during the quarter. Noodles and biscuits met with positive response especially in North and West India. Cream biscuits were launched pan India during the quarter. Management expects the commodity inflation to go up to 8-8.5% but would be able to maintain margins of 16-17% led by improved realization in the MFD segment. We expect that the new product launch, along with volume growth, increasing geographic reach and market share will help the company to continue with the expected top-line growth of 18% in the next two years. www.fullertonsecurities.co.in

March 17, 2011 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE & RISK


In CY10, net sales of the company stood at Rs 23.1bn compared to Rs 19.2bn recorded in CY09. Net profit advanced to Rs 3.0bn, from Rs 2.3bn. Growth in sales was aided by continuous focus on product innovation and expansion in new categories (new variants of Horlicks, Foodles, Lucozade), strengthening of distribution network (projected to reach 800,000 by 2012), continued investment in brand building, strategic cost management and working capital management. The year saw launch of new variant in Boost and Horlicks (Badam Masti). Horlicks posted a growth of 18.6% where as Boost grew 24.3% in the year. Volume growth in malt beverages was 13.3% while revenue growth in non-malt beverages (accounts for 6.1% of revenue) increased by 45% to Rs1.5bn. Foodles was taken national in July 2010, which clocked a turnover of Rs323.5mn in CY10. The company also launched Horlicks biscuits in 3 cream flavors and entered the cookies segment. This year also marked the companys entry in Rs1.5bn Indian energy drink market through Lucozade sport. Other income for the year has increased by 31.4% to Rs1.2bn. This was due to 16.4% increase in business auxiliary service commission and 80% increase in interest income from bank deposits. For the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2010, net sales edged up 21.4% to Rs 5.1bn compared to the same period a year earlier. Net profit rose by 58.5% to Rs 0.5bn, from the same period a year earlier. Key raw materials for GSKCHL include Milk powder, liquid milk, malt and wheat, and price changes for each have been quite volatile. In CY10 gross margins dipped 50bp y/y largely on account of higher milk prices. Prices of milk fluid were higher by 20.7% to Rs 20,628/MT and milk powder prices were higher by 10.1% to Rs148/kg. Wheat flour prices were higher by 5.1% while malt prices witnesses a fall of 8.4% for the year. However consumption of milk fluid and milk powder remained flat compared to the previous year, while wheat and malt consumption grew by 13% in line with the volume growth in the malt beverages. This could be due to higher contribution from other products such as biscuits and Foodles. In Nov10, GSKCHL undertook 5-6% price hike to mitigate input cost rise. Even management mentioned that malt prices are on an upmove and milk prices continue to remain firm, with overall input cost index likely to be up around 8-9% annually in CY11E. Since raw materials account for 37% of sales, we believe an annual 5-6% price hike should be able to neutralize the 12-15% cost inflation comfortably and help sustain stable gross margins for the company. However, we believe slowdown in consumption of malt beverages, rise in raw material prices, hindrance to increase market share in biscuit and instant noodles, entry of new players in the malted food drink space will negatively impact growth prospects of the company and might be a threat to our recommendation and price target.

March 17, 2011 VALUATION & PEER COMPARISON


We expect GSKCHLs revenues to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% over CY10-12 to Rs 32.2bn from Rs 23.1bn in CY2010. We further estimate that PAT would grow at a CAGR of 17.4% over the same period to Rs 4.1bn in CY2012 from Rs 3.0bn. GSKCHL was trading at a 2 year forward P/E multiple of 10.5x in CY07 and has reached 17.7x in CY10. Going forward we expect with further volume growth in malted food drinks, expansion of product portfolio, increase in geographic reach in West, North and Central areas of the country will help GHKCHL to increase its revenue growth in the coming years and to continue its growth story. Considering all the points, we believe that GSKCHLs 2 year forward P/E multiple would expand further to 25.0x by CY12. We expect GSKCHLs revenues to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% over CY10-12 to Rs 32.2bn from Rs 23.1bn in CY2010

So based on CY12 P/E multiple of 25, the fair value for the company works out to be Rs 2,458
We recommend a HOLD rating on the stock.

Peer comparison
GSKCHL enjoys a monopoly position in India in malted food drinks, with its key brands such as Horlicks and Boost, compared to other players in the segment such as Cadbury, Dabur etc. In biscuits and instant noodles, the company lags market share compared to other leaders in the respective segment such as Britannia and Nestle respectively. However, we believe GSKCHL will continue with its top-line growth story supported by volume growth in malted food segment and high pace market penetration in newly ventured segments such as biscuits, energy food & drink and instant noodles.
