For the same period, EBIDTA margins have improved by 136 bps from 6.42% to 7.78% due to decrease in raw material prices and improve supply chain and lower cost of production.

The company has 5 manufacturing facilities (Nasik 1, Valsad 1, and Chittoor 3). The company is operating at 96-98% capacity utilization in the peak summer season and 8-10% in the winter season.

Key Investment Highlights

Range of processes for meeting customer requirements. The Company is in the business of processing and marketing fruit pulps, concentrates and spray dried fruit and vegetable powders both into domestic and international markets. The Company believes that having all the three (3) divisions i.e. canning, aseptic and spray drying enables the Company to cater to various customer requirements. Further, due to the availability of the entire process line in-house, the Company’s dependence on third parties for providing specific and customized processed products to its customers reduces to a large extent. We believe that this ability to provide customized products to its customers is the key strength for further growth of the Company.

Expanding product portfolio to continue strong revenue growth During the period FY14 to FY18 sales grew at a CAGR of 7.0% from Rs 257 crore in FY 14 to Rs 337 crore in FY18 on the back of locational advantage in terms of multi-location and accredited manufacturing facilities, geographically diversified revenue profile, capacity expansion, more focus on domestic segment and established reputed clientele base. While total tonnage production grew at a CAGR of ~5% from 48154 tonnes in FY14 to 57369 tonnes in FY18. Due to low realization sales was flat for the last year, production grew 17% but mango prices were down by 13%. We expect organic sales to grow at 4% CAGR for next 2-3 years on back of continuous focus on sustainability and efforts to improve its supply chain. Source: Company/ KKSL research

Innovation and Product Development. The Company strives to retain its position within the industry by investing strategically in new technologies which give its customers better quality of products and cost advantages. The Company commenced its operations with processing egg powder and eventually diversified into processing of fruits and vegetables. The Company continuously attempts to provide solutions for specific customer needs through innovation and development of new product, packing blending developments. The Company has an experienced and professionally qualified team which constantly works with its customers to ensure customer satisfaction.

Volume increased by 17% but realization was lower due to 13% decrease in mango prices

Proceeds from land monetization will be used for organic & inorganic expansion

KK SECURITIES LTD Page 5

Key Investment Highlights (Continue...) Creating, establishing and enhancing presence in newer markets. The Company believes that demand for its products currently which are being sold in the regulated markets such as Europe, USA and Japan will continue to grow. The Company is also making efforts to enhance its presence in Pacific Rim countries such as China, Japan and Indonesia and further to create its presence in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Middle East & Africa (ME&A) by participating in trade fairs, exhibitions and seminars. We believe initiatives such as introducing latest aseptic technology and investing in sustainability early on has helped the company to capture large pockets of the worldwide market.

Strong client base The company has very strong international client base like AG Baar, Lacnor, Sumeton, Shana foods etc. All these companies are in the list of fortune 500. While in domestic front PepsiCo and Coke are major customer and contributes to 95% of domestic sales. Paper Boat and Doehler India Pvt. Ltd is the other domestic customer.

Key Risks

Fluctuation in Raw material prices as its raw material prices constitute major portion of the production cost.

Exchange Rate Risk as significant portion of the sales comes from export.

Diversified geographical revenue base

1 Year Forward EV/EBITDA

Valuation & Outlook With capacity expansion across segments and an improving product mix, the growth trajectory in revenues should continue. The company has a long track record and extensive experience of the promoters in the food processing industry, locational advantage in terms of multi-location and accredited manufacturing facilities, geographically diversified revenue profile and established reputed clientele base. The company is on the brink of closing 2 key capex projects in Western and Southern facilities which not only increase capacity but also increase product portfolio and its reach to the market. For the year going forward the company has other couple of sizeable capex initiatives to take advantage of the same. We recommend BUY with TP of 281 (14x FY20E EBITDA). This strong performance is expected on the back of:

Enhanced contribution from value added products.

Enhanced capacity utilization.

Debt restructuring to reduce interest cost.

Implementing cost reduction method and strategy of producing during the off-season to evade the risk of running out of capacity.

Land Bank monetization will unlock value.

B2C market foray.

Expansion in capacity & product portfolio.
