Galaxy Surfactants BUY
Simple yet distinct Galaxy Surfactants (GSL) is a preferred global supplier of surfactants and other specialty chemicals to leading FMCG MNCs, and caters exclusively to their ‘home and personal care’ (HPC) segment. Long and intimate relations with its customers drive GSL’s steady volume growth, steady margins. It has a diversified portfolio of 200+ products selling across 80 countries to 1,700+ customers. Backed by an experienced management, GSL went public in Feb-18 at Rs 1,480/sh. Currently, the stock is flat (vs. the Nifty FMCG Index that has delivered +16% since then) despite the 29.1/24.3% jump in EBITDA/PAT. Given the secular growth opportunity and its capability to generate 20%+ returns on reinvested profits, GSL’s current PER of 19.0/16.6x FY21/22E looks contextually low. A ‘Quasi FMCG’ company: HPC brand owners (FMCG
giants) impose strict quality standards on suppliers. GSL is not merely a contract manufacturer but is also closely involved in the HPC product development process with its customers. This intimate relationship virtually makes GSL a backward integrated facility for a FMCG cos and ensures stickiness of business.
55% business from 10 MNCs: Consumers of HPC products are extremely sensitive on user experience. Product differentiation is chiefly led by surfactants. Naturally, certifications and approvals from buyers are critical for any supplier. GSL currently draws 55% of its business from 10 leading FMCG companies, which together command 42% of global HPC market share.
Steady volume growth: Rise in demand for HPC products implicitly induces growth for GSL. Owing to the inherent nature and universal consumer usage of these products, their demand is largely inelastic. GSL witnessed stronger demand in FY17/18 (12.2/11% YoY)
vs FY19 (8.8%), led by 18.8% YoY growth in the (high margin) specialty category. We expect strong traction to continue in this category driven by strong demand in developed markets. Thus, overall sales volume will grow at 9.6% over FY19-22E to 282,349MT.
RM fluctuations are passed on: Contrary to popular beliefs that MNCs squeeze supplier margins, GSL’s RMC is semi-passed on to customers, insulating its margins. Since the former fix the procurement chain, the volatility in fatty alcohol prices (50% of RMC of performance surfactants) are borne by them. The 10-year gross margin average of 32.1% with a standard deviation of 2.74 amply proves this fact. We expect the same trend to continue over FY20-22E (GM of 32%).
Moderate valuations: GSL’s products are specialised (not commoditised) but lack branding and pricing power. It should trade at a multiple closer to chemical and at a discount to FMCG companies. We value GSL at 22x Sep-20E and initiate with BUY at a TP of Rs 1,834.

Consolidated revenue rose by 13.5%YoY in FY19, led by 23.6%YoY growth in the high margin specialty care category. Volume of this category surged by 18.8%YoY and we expect this trend to continue as its demand is led by new trends in the developed market Volume in the performance surfactants category has grown 3.6%YoY in FY19. We expect growth to remain in the same range in FY20E Capacity augmentation is a continuous process at GSL. Demand is forecasted every year for 3 years hence and, timely and adequate investment is made to expand plant capacities

Margin Trend Revenue/Kg Of External Sales
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research Opex/Kg To Rise Hereon, As 60% Of It Is Variable EBITDA/Kg Is Consistently On A Rise
Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research
EBITDA margin is maintained (~12.5%) as majority of RMC is directly passed on to customers PAT margin has jumped with a reduction in the effective tax rate to 25.2%. GSL will not be pressured to pass on the benefits of the cut as it caters to global FMCG giants for whom, quality supersedes price. Thus, it is a big beneficiary of the tax cut Steep fall in crude oil prices in FY16 led to a correction in the RMC, most of which is a derivative of the former. In lack of pricing power, GSL is compelled to pass on the benefit of falling RMC From FY15-18, oplev induced fall in opex/kg. In FY19, opex and opex/kg rose 15.0% and 5.7%YoY, owing to 38.2% YoY jump in freight and forwarding cost and 32.5% rise in miscellaneous opex. We expect opex to rise in tandem with sales volume albeit at slower pace hereon

xRs bn Net debt Net D/E-RHS
High debtor days is not a big concern as 55% of revenue mix is derived from global FMCG companies Most of the RM is imported from Southeast Asian countries. It takes ~60 days from ordering to actual delivery. However GSL gets a 30 day credit. Hence, creditor days are effectively 30 Being a fixed asset light company, more capital is invested in working capital. We expect current assets as a percentage of capital employed to rise from 43.7% in FY19 to 48.2% in FY22E Conservative nature of the management is evident from the fact that net D/E has reduced substantially from 0.9 in FY16 to 0.3 in FY19 Net debt reduction over FY16-FY19 was largely led by reduction in total debt by Rs 1.12bn to Rs 2.98bn. We expect total debt to decline further by Rs 0.53bn over FY20-22E to Rs 2.45bn

We expect APAT margin to expand by 87 bps in FY20E and stay flat thereon, owing to the effective tax rate cut to 25.2% Fixed Asset turnover jumped from 2.4x in FY16 to 2.8x in FY19. It will further expand to 3.1x by FY22E Over the last four years, GSL has reduced GB/Average equity from 1.8x to 1.2x in FY19. For a business that is riding on the performance of FMCG companies, this will mitigate the financial risk. We expect it to further go down to ~1x as future investment will only be through internal accruals The reduction in GB/Average equity has dragged the RoE from 24.9% in FY16 to 23.9% in FY19 despite a 130bps rise in APAT margin and expansion in Fixed Asset turnover ratio RoE will decline to 21.9% by FY22E, as we expect GB/Average equity to decline further to 0.9x

P/E based Target Price (Sep-20E)
Galaxy is not purely a FMCG company as it lacks brand name and marketing channels. Similarly, it is not purely a chemical company either, at least in the current form of business, as it is a preferred supplier to leading global and domestic FMCG companies. GSL does have room for higher upside than chemical stocks. It becomes important to look at GSL’s valuation against consumer and chemical stocks as extreme benchmarks. It would be incorrect to conclude that the market is already pricing in Galaxy as a consumer company. We
believe that it should trade at a discount to consumer and at a premium to chemical companies.
