Relaxo Footwear
Building pricing muscle; initiating with Buy
Relaxo Footwear (Relaxo) is second largest in the organised segment of Indian footwear, accounting for 7-8% share. It is currently focused on building pricing power by revamping key brands, Sparx and Flite. Over FY12-15, we expect revenue and EPS to post CAGR of 23% and 39%, respectively, and margins to expand 250bps. We initiate coverage with Buy, at a price target of `960. Rising volumes, improving value mix. Relaxo is currently focused on growing revenues from its premium brands - Flite and Sparx. Towards this, the company has already set up a manufacturing unit for polyurethane a key chemical used in making its shoes which will commence production from Q3FY13. This, together with rapid network expansion, will aid revenues to post 23% CAGR over FY12-15. Embarking on major brand revamp. The company has roped in three leading Bollywood stars for its brand endorsements. This marketing strategy is applicable across segments, from low-cost Hawaii to premium Sparx. It would build pricing power, raise market share (especially in East, West) and increase direct reach to customers through stores across India. Margin expansion on the cards: Margins are likely to expand 250bps owing to: (a) falling raw material prices, especially of EVA and rubber (more than 50% of RMC); (b) freight costs stabilising at 3% of sales with new warehouses; and c) reducing third-party purchases. Valuation. We assign a one-year-forward PE of 13x and derive target price target of `960. It has historically traded at 6-17 PE.At the CMP of `725, the stock trades at PE of 15.1x FY13e and 9.9x FY14e EPS of `48.1and `73.6 respectively. Risk: Rise in input costs.

Sparx
Capacity expansion on track In FY11 and FY12, volume growth in Flite and Sparx (shoes) was a steady 1% and 15% and 45% and 26% respectively, whereas Relaxos overall revenue growth in FY12 was 25.4%. Management took the right decision in expanding both Flite and Sparx capacities in FY11, by 44% and 23%. Considering the steady growth in sales volumes, we believe the company would again have to increase capacity in FY14. After declining volume growth in FY11, rising exports in FY12 led to Hawaii volumes growing marginally. Also, we believe that the expanded capacities would help curtailing imports of Sparx (shoes) from China. Overall, we see 24% and 26% revenue growth in Flite and Sparx, respectively, over FY12-14e (see Fig 9).

PU capacity enhanced At Bahadurgarh, Haryana, Relaxo is setting up a manufacturing unit for PU footwear, the fastest-growing segment. It is already selling, on a small scale, PU-Flite (formal and fashionable footwear with additional features: light weight, longevity and skid resistance). Expansion in this category would increase overall volumes and improve market share. It is incurring capex of `700m and commercial production is likely to start in Q3FY13. We believe this segment is likely to lead to an asset-turnover ratio of 3-4x and help the company improve both value mix and revenue. Expanding distribution to match increasing demand In the past, Relaxos operations were concentrated in North and NorthEast India, with a distribution network primarily in the North. Rising footwear consumption has, however, led the company broaden its distribution network to eastern and western India. Today, the company has a strong network of more than 46,000 distributors all over India and 154 retail outlets. These retail outlets go a long way in enhancing Relaxos brand image, the effect of which will trickle down to margins.

Relaxo is increasing the number of its retail stores Relaxo Shoppe, dealing directly with end-customers, to enhance its brand image and increase sales. It has 154 stores (FY12, 149 stores) currently and is in the process of adding 25 more this year . We believe greater volumes and value would be added if more stores are opened in East and West India, where its revenue is fast increasing every year. Advertising costs to be held in check Despite signing up three huge Bollywood stars at `120m, we believe that advertising expenditure would not cross 4-5% of sales. The benefits would be substantial in comparison with the costs.

Freight costs to stabilise despite wider operations in East, West Relaxo has nine manufacturing plants, seven in Bahadurgarh (Haryana) and one each in Bhiwadi (Rajasthan) and Haridwar (Uttaranchal). At present, 53-55% of sales arise in North India and most of its distribution network is located here, restricting freight costs to 3.5% of sales. Ahead, freight costs are likely to stabilise at 3% despite its all-India operations as it is putting up four warehouses .Capital expenditure for the warehouses, to be opened one at a time, is likely to be `200m in the next two years.

Third-party-purchase costs likely to come down In-house production is likely to improve margin further. Expect third-party purchase to come down to 4-5% against 10-11% in the past few years Third-party purchases are largely of the high-value Sparx, imported from China. With minor expansion in Sparx (4,000 pairs a day) and surplus capacity in Relaxo Hawaii, we expect outsourcing (as percent of sales) to come down and settle between 4% and 5% in the next two years, against 10-11% in the past few years (table). Margins in the high-value Sparx produced by the company are higher than in those outsourced.

We expect Relaxo to report 23% revenue growth over FY12-15, led by growth in volumes and value. EBIDTA margin is likely to improve 250bps to 13.5% in FY15e. With free-cash generation, we believe gross debt is likely to come down from 1.0x in FY12 to 0.4x. Ahead, return ratios are likely to further improve with working-capital efficiency and a better margin.

On the launch of the Sparx and Flite brands in FY06, sales grew 24% over FY07-12. Ahead, we expect 23% revenue CAGR during FY12-15, led by 20% and 23% CAGR in Flite and Sparx respectively. Moreover, we expect enhanced revenue growth from retail outlets and exports. We believe the companys focus on brand building is likely to improve its value mix, helping revenue growth. Margin expansion to help robust net profit growth The margin is likely to expand 150bps to 13.5% over FY12-15e due to a) better pricing power through brand-building, b) increasing value mix especially of Sparx and Flite from 60%in FY12, c) freight-cost rationalisation on opening four warehouses in west and east India and d) low prices of raw material, especially of rubber and EVA, which are at oneyear lows. We do not expect any rise in raw material prices in the next 1-2 years due to rising capacities (of the raw materials) and a drop in demand from other industries such as autos. The margin expansion is likely to help net profit grow 39% over FY12-15e. Return ratios to improve further We expect the RoE to improve further, from 26% in FY12 to 29.2% in FY15 on the better asset-turnover ratio and value mix, resulting in robust net profit growth. We expect the RoCE also to improve, from 19.2% in FY12 to 24% in FY15. Free cash-flow to improve further On the expansion of its PU-Flite plant in Bahadurgarh at `700m, Relaxo is likely to generate more than `1bn in free cash. This free-cash generation would arise from better operational flows and efficient working capital. It would reduce the debt-equity ratio from 1x to 0.4x.

Valuation
In the last few years, the stock has traded in the one-year-forward P/E range of 6x-17x. Brand recognition helps increase pricing power and improve revenue, as well as raises market share. We believe Relaxos focus is to increase the revenue value-mix, which would help to better margins. All this is likely to improve RoE from 26% to 32.5% over FY12-14e and help get higher multiples. The stock is at a discount over 50% to Bata India and we believe that, with Relaxos improving brand image, return ratios and growth ratios, the discount will narrow faster. At TP of `960, the stock trades at a P/E multiple of 13.0x and 10.8x FY14e and FY15e EPS of `73.6 and 89.2respectively. Risks Volatile raw material prices. Raw material cost was 54-55% of sales except in FY11 when it was over 60%. Key raw materials are rubber, EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) and synthetic rubber. Inability to pass on the increase in raw material costs because of competition may lead to pressure on margins.Any rise in prices of rubber (15-18% of RMC), used in Relaxo Hawaii and shoes, would lead to pressure on margins in those categories. Any rise in prices of EVA (28-33% of RMC), used in Flite and shoes, would put pressure on margins in Flite.

Competition may lead to pricing pressure. Competition comes from all branded manufacturers, unorganised to high-end. The Hawaii brand primarily faces competition from the unorganised market in northern India; therefore, pricing has to be done considering this. Sparx shoes face competition from premium brands; any drop in prices by the competition would lead to a fall in the prices of Sparx, and would dent margins.
