Investment Rationale:
VA Tech Wabag Ltd (WABAG) is an established EPC player in water management space. It offers complete life cycle solutions from project design to installation to operation & maintenance. WABAG is a multinational player in the water treatment industry with presence in India, the Middle East, North Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, China and South East Asia through principal offices in India, Austria, the Czech Republic, China, Switzerland, Algeria, Romania, Tunisia, UAE, Libya and Macau. It offers complete life cycle solutions including conceptualisation, design, engineering, procurement, supply, installation, construction and O&M services. The company provides a range of EPC and O&M solutions for sewage treatment, processed & drinking water treatment, effluents treatment, sludge treatment, desalination and reuse for institutional clients like municipal corporations and companies in the infrastructure sector such as power, steel and oil & gas companies. Till date, WABAG has executed 2,250 projects and is currently executing 72 projects. It is a technologyfocused player with R&D centres in Chennai, India, Vienna in Austria and Winterthur in Switzerland respectively. Wabag Austria and Wabag Wassertechnik own 157 patents, which include both process and product patents. WABAG has approximately 1,469 employees including 757 qualified engineers. In India, it has around 754 employees including 588 qualified engineers. The company benefits from association with the Wabag brand. In 2007, it acquired Wabag Austria, thereby taking over the Wabag Group. It has a project reference list of more than 2,250 over the past three decades. India is the second most populated country with over 1.2 billion people and the Official estimates of the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR) have put total utilisable water at 1,123 billion cubic metres as against the current use of 634 billion cubic metres, which reflects the surplus. However, there exists a considerable temporal and spatial variation within the country with respect to water availability. The Indian population is 16 % of the world with 4 % of its water and 2.4 % of its land. The population is expected to increase from 1.2 billion in 2010 to 1.6 billion by 2030. The country’s urban component is expected to increase from 30 % in 2010 to 50 % by 2030 also the per capita income is expected to rise by US$468 to US$17,366 by 2050. The freshwater is crucial need for human wellbeing and sustainable socio-economic development. Global water demand in terms of water withdrawals is projected to increase by around 55 % by 2050, mainly because of growing demands from manufacturing, thermal electricity generation and domestic use. As a result, freshwater availability will be increasingly strained over this period, and more than 40 % of the global population is projected to be living in areas which will face severe water stress through 2050. Seawater and brackish water desalination for reuse represents good demand. The share of water derived from long-distance transfer, desalination and reuse is expected to rise from 1.8 % in 2011 to 5.7 % in 2030. Although the low-cost water resources will continue to remain the dominant source of supply, and the expenditure in developing new water resources could grow by 8.2 % over the period 2013-2018. Spending on water infrastructure by industrial users is expected to outpace the municipal water sector. While the natural resource industries are increasingly pursuing marginal resources, these involve significant wastewater treatment challenges. In other sectors, brand management and corporate social responsibility are driving investments in water-efficient technologies. Increasing population, economic development and urbanisation have led to higher demand for fast depleting fresh water. India has a robust investment opportunity of around Rs. 13.6 lakh crore alone in water sector, so there’s immense business opportunity in India for water solution companies like WABAG. This is coupled with strong international prospects across the water treatment space to bridge the demand-supply deficit, which is estimated to reach 39 % by 2020. WABAG operates on an asset light-EPC led model in water treatment projects across municipal & industrial segments. WABAG has a market share of 14 % in the Indian market. With growing concern on access to clean water and urgent measures to solve the issue of depleting water resources, the investment in water treatment is likely to increase manifold globally. Accordingly, WABAG is expected to benefit significantly by leveraging its Strong domestic presence and rising global footprint. The company’s strong book-to-bill ratio of 2.5 times provides revenue visibility for two years. This coupled with a strong execution track record is expected to lead to 17.1 % revenue CAGR in FY15-18E to around Rs. 3,898 crore while the margin is expected to expand by 0.80 % to 10.4 % over FY15-18E. The company garners a higher EBITDA margin of 13 % to 14 % across its India business, 8 % to 9 % across the India international business and 5 % to 6 % across the Europe segment taking overall EBITDA margin to 9.3 %. WABAG has the strongest portfolio of water treatment, waste water-desalination, etc., in India and unlike most EPC peers has inhouse technology, which is the key to its pole position. Its strong technological competence coupled with a large talent pool impart it the resources to successfully execute complex water projects. WABAG has its inherent skills and execution capabilities in this sector and is very well placed to capture a large pie from these upcoming opportunities. Increasing trend in adoption of desalination process to secure clean water is on its spree & is likely to open up lots of new opportunities for the companies like WABAG.

Outlook and Valuation:

WABAG is a global technological leader in the entire water treatment field managed by professionals and technocrats. The company has a unique business model with strong in-house research. The company has an excellent system for efficient equipment procurement, better engineering & designs. The company also enjoys higher margin in this sector due to close monitoring and cost control. The company runs an asset-light business model by outsourcing the capital-intensive construction business and focusing on delivering the optimum water technology solution. India has low per capita water supply of 146 litres per day versus 500 litres per day in developed nations, this hints huge potential. Also, with rising stringent norms for wastewater treatment, the scope for WABAG becomes enormous; especially when only less than 30 % of industrial wastewater is treated before release. The company has made significant inroads in China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Spain and Turkey which are important key emerging markets. Company has being clocking in high growth in water and wastewater treatment. WABAG being an assetlight business model, which imparts it’s capability to take on larger volume of projects and generate higher RoCE. The company has identified critical areas which are mostly retained inhouse, while noncritical, lowvalue add work is outsourced. WABAG reported flat revenues at Rs. 628.9 Cr on consolidated basis. While domestic revenues surged by 26.6 % to Rs. 371.3 Cr which reflects 59.0 % of total revenues, overseas revenues declined by 20.8 % to Rs. 257.6 Cr owing to - execution slowdown in Nepal project due to local conditions; 11 % depreciation in Euro, and many projects are at initial period of execution. WABAG’s key projects are now contributing significantly to its revenue in Q3FY16 which includes APGENCO’BOP water management project to about Rs. 98.9 Cr, Petronas RAPID ETP, Malaysia of about Rs. 42.1 Cr, PHED Habra, and West Bengal to about Rs. 40.2 Cr, Suplac, Romania about Rs. 34.2 Cr and Istanbul Turnkey O&M project contributed around Rs. 32.8 Cr. While rest of its key overseas project remains in engineering stage and are expected to start contributing from current quarter onwards. WABAG has also set up a separate team for project closure, which will lead to focused attention on closing projects. Wabag strengthened its positioning in Turkey market by bagging third order of Rs. 150.1 Cr from the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in the last quarter. Resultantly total order inflow in 9MFY16 stood at Rs. 3360 Cr. Order backlog stands at INR 64.1 bn (book/ bill of 2.5x), which along with framework contracts worth INR 15.4 bn, provides strong revenue visibility. Wabag’s RoE and RoCE is expected to improve from 15.0 % and 17.4 % in FY15 to 18.4% and 21.2 %, respectively, in FY17E. The return on invested capital (RoIC) is expected to improve from 26.5 % in FY15 to 31.9 % in FY17E. Going ahead, Wabag’s growth to come from a revival in industrial capex across Indian and global markets. WABAG being the only listed Indian player with presence across the value chain of water spectrum is the best play on water scarcity theme. Rapid urbanisation, dwindling fresh water reserves, widening demand-supply gap, depleting groundwater level and increasing thrust of government on water & infra sectors, will keep the water treatment business thriving for a long time. Superior return ratios like its RoCE of +20 %, cash rich balance sheet, asset light business model and technological & locational advantage places it above its peers. It is expected that the company’s surplus scenario is likely to continue for the next three years, & will keep its growth story in the coming quarters intact. It is expected that over 2013-2016E, the company can to post a CAGR of 23 % and 21 % in its top-line and bottom-line respectively. At its CMP of Rs. 511.25, the stock trades at 24.81 x FY16E EPS of Rs. 20.60 and 16.92 X FY17E EPS of Rs. 30.20. It is expected that the company’s surplus scenario is likely to continue for the next three years keeping its growth story in the coming quarters also.

Investment Rationale:
Cera Sanitaryware incorporated in the year 1998 is a pioneer in the sanitary ware segment in India. Cera Sanitaryware Limited, India’s fastest growing company in the sanitary ware segment in India. It has an extensive product portfolio that includes high end showers, steam cubicles, and whirlpools, besides sanitary-ware and faucets, such extensive product ranges has made CERA the primary choice of customers looking for stylish products in a contemporary lifestyle. It’s also the first sanitary ware company to use natural gas, for its commercial needs, Cera has been on the forefront of launching a new and versatile colour range and introducing the bath suite concept. CERA’s constant innovations have given several path breaking contributions to the industry. Some of its innovations have become benchmarks for the industry- like water-saving twin-flush coupled WCs, 4-litre flush WCs, and one-piece WCs. Advanced technology has been the forte of CERA. Its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant has been following the highest standards of quality with an emphasis on sustainability since its inception in 1980. CERA has raised its production capacity of sanitary-ware from 2.70 million pieces to 3.0 million pieces per annum, CERA plans to maintain its leadership status in the industry, while catering to increasing demands with satisfaction. Foraying into a new arena, CERA also launched an array of stylish wall and floor tiles. The range includes HD digital wall tiles with matching floor tiles; digital glazed vitrified tiles, and vitrified tiles with nano technology. India ranks third in world ceramic tile production after China and Brazil and is growing at an annual growth rate of 15 % contributed largely by urbanisation, and boom in the retail industry. Ceramic production today is a sizeable contribution to the India’s GDP with a turnover of Rs. 18,000 crores at 60 Cr sq mts p.a. Tiles. The industry was earlier highly dominated by the unorganized players based out in Gujarat. But with stringent pollution control norms by the Gujarat Pollution Control Board the industry in getting more organized. The unorganized players have started to enter into JV with the organized players assisting them in manufacturing activities. Also India is currently witnessing a change in preference towards high end polished vitrified tiles which is leading to higher demand growth for the organized players. India has not grown much in terms of exports of ceramic tiles and currently consists of less than 0.5 % of the global market. India exports ceramics to markets across Europe, Asia, US and Africa and the key export markets are UAE, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. The Indian tile Industry is expected to witness better days over the medium-term. This optimism is based on important realities like increasing urbanisation, reduction in Interest rate and policy driven growth. Over the last two decades, India’s urban population have increased from 21.7 Cr to 37.7 Cr and this is expected to reach 60 Cr or 40 % of the population by 2031. By then, India is expected to have 68 cities with population of more than 10 Lakh and this would drive housing demand. Also with the recent reduction in interest rates will also help demand in housing sector. The Government’s decision to develop, Housing for all by 2022, Swachh Bharat campaign, Smart City Mission is expected to create an interesting growth opportunity for the Indian ceramic tile industry. The company is also making huge investment in promoting its single brand ‘CERA’, which the company uses for all its products. The promotional expenses have grown at a CAGR of 36 % since FY11 and it constitutes 4 % of the total revenue. To give brand visibility, the company has appointed Sonam Kapoor, Bollywood fashion icon, acclaimed actress, as the company’s brand ambassador. Going forward, the company is expected to come out with a new brand for the premium segment and would use CERA brand for the mass and mid segments. Brand loyalty and strategic marketing network have paid dividend to the company in terms of robust revenue growth of 36 % CAGR in the last four years. The company has strong pan India presence with 1400 dealers and 14000 retailers targeting both its retail and institutional customers. And to supplement its network the company also has 20 stock points across the country. The company has also initiated touch and feels experience to its customers by setting up bath studios. In order to target premium and luxury customers, the company has exclusive display centre, Cera style studio which are located in the prime locations across the major cities. Cera style galleries are the display and sales touch points owned and managed by its trading partners. Cera style centres are the display centres targeting smaller trade retail partners. The company has increased its Cera style studios from just one at Ahmedabad in FY06 to 10 by the end of FY15. The company is also fast growing its Cera style galleries and expects to touch 200 galleries in the near future. With Cera style centers, the company is penetrating into the tier 2 cities such as North-East and West Bengal. In South, the company has dominant position in Kerala and is now building up its positioning in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Over FY11-15, Cera has gained market share and maintained above industry growth rate in the sanitary ware segment- segmental sales have recorded a CAGR of 27 %, vis-à-vis 14 % to 15 % growth reported by the industry. Currently, replacement demand forms 7 % to 8 % of total sanitary ware demand in India vis-à-vis 80 % in developed nations. Considering the rapid growth seen by the industry over last couple of decades, it is expected that the replacement demand to be a key growth enabler going forward. Along with the higher brand consciousness and income levels will have help organised players like Cera in the sanitary ware segment to gain steady market share from unorganised players which we can witness by the growth in market share of organised sector from 50 % to 65 %. Although it is expected that the branded segment to continue to record faster growth than the industry, penetration levels are likely to stabilise, owing to limited headroom. Even as growth moderates from historic levels, Cera is likely to sustain its growth trajectory, and can record 20 % CAGR over FY15-18, against an industry growth expectation of 13-14%. This is expected to be driven by factors like established market position and introduction of new products.  

Outlook and Valuation:  
Cera Sanitaryware is a complete building solution provider and have raised itself from a provider of single sanitaryware product in the 1980’s to now vast range of product portfolio and today it has become a complete building product solutions provider by offering products like sanitaryware, faucetware, wellness & allied products and tiles. In the sanitaryware segment, the company has strong positioning in the mass segment which accounts of almost 60 % of the organized sanitaryware market. The company has in-house manufacturing facility for sanitaryware and faucetware at Kadi, Gujarat. Currently, the facility has an installed capacity to produce 3 million pcs of sanitaryware and 2.34 million pcs of faucetware. The company is also engaged in contract manufacturing for sanitaryware and faucetware and outsourcing activities for wellness & allied products, Vitrified and Ceramic Tiles. Over the years, the company has built-up strong marketing network to promote and sell its products. As on March 2015, it has 1400 dealers and 14000 retailers. All the products of the company are sold under single brand ‘CERA’, and it enjoys strong positioning in the mass segment. It has strong positioning in the southern market, with 40 % of its total revenue coming from south. Over the years, it has gradually increased its market share in the sanitaryware from 18 % in FY09 to 23 % in FY15. The company is also growing higher than most of its peers and industry. The company started the faucet business by trading activity and today it has built-up huge capacity to encash the opportunity in the under-penetrated faucetware market. India’s sanitaryware and bathroom fittings industry is undergoing a transition phase. The consumers are now moving from low-end basic product to middle and high end premium segments. This is in conjunction with the growing urbanization and ever increasing middle-income segment. As per the National Council for Applied Economic Research (NCAER), the middle-income segment has grown from 1.1 Cr households in 2001-02 to 3.1 Cr household by 2010-2011 and is expected to grow to 5.3 Cr by 2015-16 and 11.4 Cr by 2025-2026. This shift will benefit the industry players in terms of higher margin and ability to pass on the cost increase to the consumers. The total size of the Indian sanitaryware and bathroom fittings industry is at Rs. 9,500 Cr in FY15, of which the sanitaryware accounts for roughly Rs. 3,500 Cr and is growing at an average rate of 20 %. The remaining Rs. 6,000 Cr is attributed to bathroom fittings, also growing at an average rate of 18 %. The outlook for the industry is robust on the back of country’s very low sanitation coverage, housing shortage and potential for the replacement market. The contribution from the replacement in this sector in India is very low at 8 % in comparison to 80 % in the developed economies. In the sanitaryware industry, the organized market is 65 % while the unorganized market is about 35 % and in the bathroom fittings, the organized market share is around 45 % and the unorganized market is about 55 %. According to the report on world health statistic by World Health Organization (WHO), the sanitation coverage in India is very low at 36 %. This in itself shows the growth potential for the industry in a country which has a population of over 125 Cr and is expected to grow to 135 Cr by 2021, as per census 2011. Further, the growth would be boosted by the government initiatives such as affordable housing, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and development of 100 smart cities. In Union Budget for 2015-16, the finance minister has announced 100 % sanitation by October 2019 with a provisional amount of Rs. 3,625 Cr, including Rs. 1,000 Cr for urban sanitation. It has also allocated Rs. 10,025 Cr for rural housing and Rs. 4,150 Cr for Urban housing with an objective of providing housing for all by 2022. In the recent union cabinet meeting, the government has approved development of 100 smart cities along with the new urban renewal mission with a planned outlay of Rs. 1 Trillion. CERA has for the additional capacity, for both faucetware and sanitaryware, alloted the total capex is approx Rs. 100 Cr, which would be funded from the amount raised through preferential issue and remaining from internal accruals. Recently, the company has raised Rs. 70.6o Cr by way of preferential allotment of 3,51,000 equity share at Rs. 2011.5 per shares. On November 23, 2015 Anjani Tiles Limited, Andhra Pradesh has allotted 51,00,000 Equity shares at par out of the total 1,00,00,000 Equity Shares of the Company to Cera Sanitaryware Limited and now Anjani Tiles Limited has become a Subsidiary Company of Cera Sanitaryware limited. The company has been using full utilization of its existing capacity and post expansion; the company will continue to make full utilization of its increased capacity also. It is expected that margins to consolidate in the range of 14 % in the next two years, while the company is positioning itself in the premium segment and expanding its capacity and achieving full utilization of the expanded capacity. The revenue contribution from the faucet business has increased from 14 % in FY13 to 17 % in FY17E, with the increasing capacity the contribution is expected to increase further. Recently, the company has also expanded its business activities in the tiles business through contract manufacturing with the unorganized players. The products launched by the company in the tiles business have been widely accepted and as a result, the contribution from the tiles business has also increased from just 2 % in FY13 to 13 % in FY15. The diverse product offering has helped the company to achieve higher revenue growth, even when the economy and the industry were under pressure. Lately, the company is also evaluating opportunities for entering into a joint venture for the manufacturing of sanitaryware and/or Tiles. Faucetware industry size at Rs. 6,000 Cr and is double the size of sanitaryware. The contribution of the organized market is 45 % and is growing rapidly. The company already supplies to the industry in the mass segment through outsourcing but now the company is targeting the premium segment and in this direction, the company has increased its production capacity by 166 % to 2.43 mn pcs p.a i.e approx. 6,658 pcs. per day from 0.91 mn pcs p.a i.e 2,500 pcs per day. The plant located at kadi, Gujarat is further expandable to 10,000 pcs per day. Currently, jaguar has dominating in this segment with almost 40 % market share.

In the last couple of years, the company has reported healthy growth in its sanitaryware business and has gained market share from 18 % in FY09 to 23 % at the end of FY15. The company has recently entered into a marketing agreement with ECE Banyo, the owners of Italian Luxury Sanitaryware brand ISVEA. As per the agreement, Cera will exclusively sale, distribute and market ISVEA brand in India. Already the company imports some premium sanitaryware products from China and Turkey. The company operates with two sources of energy, natural gas for running the kilns and electricity for running the machineries. The company has long term gas supply agreement with GAIL, which meets 70 % of the company’s requirement and the balance is supplied by Sabarmati Gas Ltd at market price. Because of the long term contract, the company is barred from the short term price fluctuation and thus brings cost efficiency. Besides, natural gas is also less costly than regassified LNG/LPG gas, which is used by its peers like HSIL and Parryware. Recent decline in the natural gas prices in the international market is giving added advantage to the company. During FY15, the company has added wind turbine of 4 MW taking the wind turbine capacity to 11.825 MW. During the year, the company also installed 1MW of solar energy. With this, the company has captive power capacity of 12.825 MW. The captive power plant meets almost 90 % of the company’s electricity requirement. In FY15, the power generation increased by 65 % to 10361993 KWH as compared to FY14. This will further help the company to stabilize the power cost Full capacity utilization and robust sales growth have helped the company to report higher return ratios. In FY15, the company has added huge capacity and in the next two years, the company is expected to incur more capex to enhance its capacity. Thus the return ratios are expected to remain stable in the near future and will gradually improve as the company achieves optimal utilization. The RoNW (%) is expected to improve to 24.7 % by FY17E from 23.5 % in FY15, the RoCE (%) is expected to improve to 32.4 % by FY17E from 31.4 % in FY15 and the Return on Asset (RoA) is expected to improve from 12.3 % in FY15 to 13.8 % in FY17E. The domestic faucet ware industry offers a large, scalable growth opportunity. The faucet industry offers a larger and more scalable growth opportunity than sanitary ware, as spends on faucets are typically 2-3x that of sanitary ware. Estimated size of the faucets industry is Rs. 50-52 bn, as compared with Rs. 28- 30 bn of the sanitary ware industry. The small players has market share of 3 % as of FY15 and Cera is aptly positioned to capitalise this opportunity. Moreover, presence of branded players is expected to grow faster than that of other segments, owing to higher share of unorganised players of 55 %, vis-à-vis 35 % in sanitary ware and 50 % in ceramic tiles. On Financial side, CERA’s net profit jumps to Rs. 20.10 Cr as against Rs. 16.16 Cr in the corresponding quarter ending of previous year, an increase of 24.43 %.
