Investment
Rationale:
Gitanjali Gems is $900 million
multinational group & one of the largest integrated diamond and jewellery
manufacturer and retailer and diamond exporters in India. The demand for
diamond and jewellery products are largely depends on higher employment and
economic levels, which leave higher disposable income in the hands of the
consumers. In downturn consumers can quite easily scale down their consumption
of jewellery and diamonds. Gitanjali Gems Ltd has informed that Aston Luxury
Group Ltd has acquired 15.3 % stake in Verite Co. Ltd in Japan. This
acquisition will provide supply chain synergies to the grou. Verite Co. Ltd is
a listed entity on Tokyo Stock Exchange & operates a network of 101
jewellery retail stores in Japan. This stake will also increase the presence of
the Gitanjali group in one of the leading diamond jewellery markets of the
world. The company launched India’s First unique and innovative Gold &
Diamond ATM machines, which is a one stop shop for buying medallions, coins,
jewellery etc. Gitanjali opened its first flagship store Stefan Hafner in
China. The bouquet of Italian brands is now available in other markets like
Russia, Saudi Arabia, the Far East & India. Gitanjali has taken strategic
stake of 30 % in the GEMS TV to supply all of its diamond jewellery requirements
in Japan. GEMS TV in Japan offers online shopping platform for TV channels in
Japan. The
Company is also engaged in retailing its diamonds and jewellery. Currently the
company markets over 40 brands that are owned and franchised under its retail
chain Gitanjali Lifestyle. Gitanjali Gems Ltd allotted 943,396 equity shares of
Rs. 10/- each to Bennett Coleman and Company Limited (BCCL), pursuant to
conversion of 943,396 warrants held by BCCL in the ratio of 1:1 as agreed upon.
Consequent to the aforesaid allotment, the paid up capital of the Company has
increased from 91,122,095 equity shares of Rs. 10/- each to 92,065,491 equity
shares of Rs. 10/- each.

profit jumps to Rs. 151.65 Cr against Rs. 132.24 Cr in the corresponding
quarter ending of previous year, an increase of 14.68 %. Revenue for the

with the prior year period. Reported earnings per share of the company stood at
Rs. 16.47 a share during the quarter, registering at 7.52 % increase over
previous year period. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax is Rs. 271.25
Cr as against Rs. 221.36 Cr in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Outlook and Valuation:
India
possesses world's most competitive gems and jewellery market due to its low
cost of production, highly skilled, low-cost and best artisan force for
designing and crafting jewellery, along with strong government support in the
form of incentives and establishment of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). India is
emerging as a huge consumer market for jewellery and other luxury products and
thereby appears as a very attractive opportunity for major brands to establish
their presence in the Indian market. In fact, the five-day long 29th edition of
the Indian International Jewellery Show (IIJS) event organized by GJEPC,
witnessed the participation of over 800 companies from India and overseas and
received 20,000 pre-registration from national visitors and over 3,000 from
international visitors. The event had a congregation of delegations from trade
associations across India and from a host of international destinations like
Bangladesh, China, Dubai, Hungary, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Poland,
Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore etc. IIJS displayed the widest range of gems
and jewels under the categories of couture, loose diamond, plain gold
jewellery, mass produced, allied, machinery and international jewellery and
loose diamonds. Gitanjali has
increasingly undertaken retail expansion through the organic, inorganic and
partnership routes. The retail space is around 1 million sq ft from 65,000 sq
ft a year ago. The company has over 3000 Point of sales (POS). Gitanjali
occupies nearly 60 % of the India’s entire organized mall space belonging to
the jewellery category; it has aggressive retail expansion plans. Gitanjali
expects to increase its retail presence to 2 million square feet, primarily in
the domestic outlets in the next three years. All this features helps one to
get that extra comfort in the stock. The
total exports of gem and jewellery from India during April 2012 to September
2012 stood at $1990.24 Cr including that of cut & polished diamonds at
$782.47 Cr, gold at $1071.77 Cr & coloured gemstones at $16.71 Cr. The
domestic jewellery market is pegged at $1600 Cr - $1800 Cr. The gems &
jewellery industry in India registered a growth in its volume of exports from
$2,540 Cr in 2009 to $4,636 cr in 2011 an net growth of 82.5 %. In my
view Net Sales and PAT of the company are expected to grow at a CAGR of 26 %
and 32 % over 2011 to 2014E respectively. On the basis of EV/EBITDA, the stock
trades at 2.98 x for FY13E and 2.42 x for FY14E. The second quarter witnesses a
healthy increase in overall sales as well as profitability on account of
powerful combination of exciting products, an enhanced store network and robust
infrastructural Support system. At the current market price of Rs. 453.00, the
stock is trading at a PE of 6.47 x FY13E and 5.10 x FY14E respectively. The
company can post Earning per share (EPS) of Rs. 69.98 for FY13E and Rs. 88.68
for FY14E. It is expected that with the company’s surplus scenario is likely to
continue for the next three years & will keep its growth story intact for
the coming quarters also. One can ‘BUY’ in Gitanjali Gems with a Medium to Long term investment for a price of about Rs. 510.00.
| KEY FINANCIALS | FY11 | FY12 | FY13E | FY14E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SALES (Rs. Crs) | 9,456.40 | 12,498.27 | 15,997.80 | 19,037.37 |
| NET PROFIT (Rs. Crs) | 354.81 | 487.25 | 637.66 | 808.03 |
| EPS (Rs.) | 41.81 | 53.47 | 69.98 | 88.68 |

| ROCE (%) | 12.34 | 13.95 | 16.08 | 17.49 |
I would buy GITANJALI GEMS with a price target of Rs. 510 for the 6 month target. As I always say, I am a long term believer in markets & I do respect the markets and will keep a strict stop loss of 8 % or Rs. 415.00 on your every purchase.
