 Company Background Godrej Consumer Products Limited (GCPL),the flagship company of Godrej Group earlier operated in two categories - soaps and hair colors till FY09. Post FY09, GCPL overhauled its business as per a new “3 X 3” strategy that involves having a presence in three categories across three continents. The household insecticides business (which was earlier a joint venture between another Godrej group company and Sara Lee) was merged into GCPL. GCPL manufactures and distributes personal wash, home care and hair care rd products in India and internationally (1/3 of revenues come from international operations). The company also has a strong emerging presence in markets outside India. With the acquisition of Keyline Brands in the United Kingdom, Rapidol, Kinky Group, Tura, Darling Group in Africa and Issue Group, Argencos, Cosmetica Nacional in Latin America, GCPL is best placed to benefit from presence across these emerging markets. As part of increasing its global footprint, the company has also acquired Megasari Group, a leading household care company in Indonesia.

India Business – to be the mainstay of operations Post merger of the household insecticide (HI) business with GCPL, the domestic revenues of GCPL have led to a significant transformation towards a stronger market position in the domestic market. During FY09-11, GCPL has doubled its domestic revenue from `1,088.2 crore in FY09 to `2,395.16 crore.

The soap business of GCPL is expected to maintain its growth rate aided by successful efforts of the management at introducing new high value products through segmentation, leveraging benefits of the established distribution network of HI business, growing market, prudent RM sourcing and price hikes.

Moreover, GCPL’s acquisitions in the overseas markets have been funded by low cost overseas debt costing sub 4%, making these acquisitions EPS accretive.

Darling group acquisition – a game changer for GCPLs African ambitions We believe the strong share positions that the group brands enjoy will further accelerate GCPL’s trajectory of sustainable profitable growth in the region. The acquisition is attractive given the group’s strong distribution network and presence in an estimated market size of US$1 bn +. The lack of MNC presence and large organized players makes for a relatively benign competitive environment. The group has seen 15% revenue CAGR over the past five years. The company has posted revenue of ~ `1,000 crore in CY10 with no debt on books and is highly profitable having an EBITDA margin of over 20%.

This acquisition will help not only to provide backward integration benefits for its Kinky product portfolio (leading to expansion in margins from Q4FY12 onwards) but also provide a ready market to its earlier acquisitions of Rapidol and Tura.

The hair colorant market in Argentina is estimated to be around USD 200 million growing at CAGR of 22% over the last two- three years. Thus, the merger is expected to realize significant purchase and distribution synergies. Besides this, acquisition of Cosmetica Nacional (a Chilean company) in January 2012 will facilitate GCPL to exploit synergies of scale between its Argentina business and Cosmetica (Chilean market). We expect LatAm business to grow by ~22%+ over the forecasted period to `621 crore by FY14 primarily driven by exploring wide distribution synergies and cross selling of products.

LatAm business - acquisition of 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional Founded in 1979 by Fernando Garcia, Cosmetica Nacional is a Chilean hair color and cosmetics company, enjoying market leadership positions in Chile and Panama in the hair colourant category with strong heritage brand such as Ilicit and U2 (volume share ~33% and value share ~28%). The company also has a strong presence in the color cosmetics segment - Pamela Grant (second largest brand in the colour cosmetics market with value and volume share of ~16%). Key Transaction Highlights The Cosmetica Nacional business had revenues of $36 mn in CY11 and an EBITDA of $7.3 mn. GCPL plans to purchase a 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional for an equity value of $38 mn with option to acquire 100% ownership through a combination of call and put options in a 3-5 year period.  Significant product / technological synergies amongst geographies backed by disruptive innovations to facilitate growth opportunities The global brand portfolio of GCPL is a significant intangible which would help foster future growth of the company once all the operations across geographies are integrated and stream lined. Cross-pollination of its brands across markets would, in our opinion, be the future growth driver for GCPL. Acquisition of the Darling business can be viewed as a critical building block in achieving GCPL’s Africa aspirations. This is especially true for the household insecticides segment that has similar products across markets and needs minimal change in formulation or packaging. Probable synergies / cross country launches Country Possible synergies that would realize if - Megasari, Indonesia innovated by launching paper format repellant- 'HIT Magic Paper' in Household Insecticide category. It burns for 3 minutes and India has residual efficacy upto 8 hours. The product, which is a low cost solution mass product, could be a game changer in the category.

Changing consumer preferences and intense competition can impact business growth and profitability In addition to the constantly evolving consumer preferences and cut throat competition from global majors, GCPL has to be fleet footed to cater to the rapidly changing demands of the market besides competing with the global majors on pricing, innovation, and availability. In our view GCPL is well embedded within the consumer products space and is equal to, if not better than competition in its understanding of the changing preferences and should be able to withstand competition. Infrastructural Bottlenecks Power costs in India are very high and they contribute substantially to cost of goods sold and they are 3-4 times of optimal costs. To compound this problem is the poor transportation and roadways infrastructure. Many of the villages have poor infrastructural connectivity, so the amount of time it takes for the harvest to be transported to the FMCG manufacturers is unpredictable, and results in substantial spoilage of the goods. Sharp rise in the cost of development of infrastructure coupled with bureaucratic wrangles with respect to land acquisition further delay development of road and rail infrastructure, thereby increasing the associated costs. th - 17 - Monday 13 Feb, 2012 This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page.

At CMP of`443, the stock is trading at 18.1x and 15.1x its estimated earnings for FY13and FY14, respectively. We have valued the stock at ~31.5% discount to Hindustan Unilever Ltd’s valuation of 29.2x FY13 EPS (as per Ventura estimates). Driven by global acquisitions of Darling Group in Africa and Cosmetica Nacional in Latin America and strong growth of the Indian household insecticides business, we expect GCPL’s consolidated revenues to grow at ~28.4% CAGR over the forecasted period FY12-FY14. In our opinion, our estimates are conservative and we expect a substantial re-rating of the price earnings (PE) multiple. Currently, the discount to peers is a mispricing which should narrow as the acquisitions start delivering. th - 19 - Monday 13 Feb, 2012 This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page.

The company also has a strong presence in the color cosmetics segment - Pamela Grant (second largest brand in the colour cosmetics market with value and volume share of ~16%). Key Transaction Highlights The Cosmetica Nacional business had revenues of $36 mn in CY11 and an EBITDA of $7.3 mn. GCPL plans to purchase a 60% stake in Cosmetica Nacional for an equity value of $38 mn with option to acquire 100% ownership through a combination of call and put options in a 3-5 year period.  Significant product / technological synergies amongst geographies backed by disruptive innovations to facilitate growth opportunities The global brand portfolio of GCPL is a significant intangible which would help foster future growth of the company once all the operations across geographies are integrated and stream lined. Cross-pollination of its brands across markets would, in our opinion, be the future growth driver for GCPL. Acquisition of the Darling business can be viewed as a critical building block in achieving GCPL’s Africa aspirations. This is especially true for the household insecticides segment that has similar products across markets and needs minimal change in formulation or packaging. Probable synergies / cross country launches Country Possible synergies that would realize if - Megasari, Indonesia innovated by launching paper format repellant- 'HIT Magic Paper' in Household Insecticide category.

  • 17. Changing consumer preferences and intense competition can impact business growth and profitability In addition to the constantly evolving consumer preferences and cut throat competition from global majors, GCPL has to be fleet footed to cater to the rapidly changing demands of the market besides competing with the global majors on pricing, innovation, and availability. In our view GCPL is well embedded within the consumer products space and is equal to, if not better than competition in its understanding of the changing preferences and should be able to withstand competition. Infrastructural Bottlenecks Power costs in India are very high and they contribute substantially to cost of goods sold and they are 3-4 times of optimal costs. To compound this problem is the poor transportation and roadways infrastructure. Many of the villages have poor infrastructural connectivity, so the amount of time it takes for the harvest to be transported to the FMCG manufacturers is unpredictable, and results in substantial spoilage of the goods. Sharp rise in the cost of development of infrastructure coupled with bureaucratic wrangles with respect to land acquisition further delay development of road and rail infrastructure, thereby increasing the associated costs. th - 17 - Monday 13 Feb, 2012 This document is for private circulation, and must be read in conjunction with the disclaimer on the last page.
