The company has total 16 brands across a diverse range of price and product segments under its portfolio. The IMFL industry (worth USD 2 billion) is expected to grow at CAGR of 12.7% through FY10-FY15E period. We believe, TI is well-placed to tap opportunity in the rising Indian liquor market and expect company to post excellent performance through FY09-FY12E period. Capacity Expansion…to boost volume: In FY09, TI had total installed capacity of 50 KLPD of molasses based ENA. The company has successfully commissioned a new 50 KLPD molasses- based ENA plant and 100 KLPD grain-based ENA plant in Sept09 and Dec09 respectively. We believe that the company will get full benefit of expanded capacity in FY11E and FY12E. We expect total IMFL sales volume to increase by 53.3%, 105.9% and 22.9% YoY in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively. We expect net sales to grow at CAGR of 59.7% through FY09-FY12E period. Healthy growth in IMFL industry: The IMFL segment constitutes 31% of the total Indian liquor market and is a 195 million cases industry. With nearly half of Indian population being young and at working age with rising disposable income, the IMFL segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.7% through FY10-FY15E period. With restriction in direct advertising and strong brand loyalty among consumers, existing alcoholic beverage manufacturers with well-established brands are in sweet pot to exploit the ensuing growth in IMFL industry. Grain-based distillery…less dependence on single feedstock: Molasses is the key raw material for alcohol production. Although, molasses is available in abundant quantity for TI, its prices are volatile as they are subject to vagaries of cyclicality in sugar industry. With setting up of 100 KLPD grain based distilleries, the company has reduced its over-dependence on molasses as a feedstock. In addition, the Maharashtra govt will give INR 10/litre rebate on the excise-duty to the grain-based distilleries, resulting in subsidy of INR 250 million for TI (to be availed till Dec 2013). Margins to improve: Due to increase in sugarcane acreage, on the back of handsome prices paid by sugar mills in SY10, we expect sugarcane production to increase by 30-40% YoY in SY11. Molasses availability being directly linked to sugarcane production, we conservatively expect molasses price to decline by 2.0% YoY in FY11E and FY12E each. (Molasses accounts for ~50% of total raw material cost). Overall, we expect EBITDA margins to expand by 80 bps, 70 bps and 30 bps YoY to 19.3%, 20.0% and 20.3% YoY in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively.

Investment Rationale

Capacity Expansion…To Boost Volume

Capacity Expansion…

Tilaknagar Industries Ltd (TI) is one of the leading players in the Indian alcoholic beverage industryand is in business of manufacturing, marketing and selling of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL)comprising of Brandy, Whisky, Gin, Vodka and Rum. In FY09, TI had total installed capacity of 50KLPD of molasses based ENA. The mainstay manufacturing hub of TI is located at Shrirampur,Maharashtra on 253 acres of land. In Sept09, the company has successfully commissioned a newmolasses-based ENA plant of 50 KLPD at the same location. In addition, a grain-based ENA plant of100 KLPD has been commissioned in Dec09. Thus, the total ENA manufacturing capacity of the

company has increased by stellar 300% YoY to 200 KLPD.

Asset light Business Model…

In addition to own manufacturing units, TI business model also includes manufacturing and sellingIMFL through Lease arrangement and Tie-up arrangement. TI has 7 lease arrangements and 21 tie-uparrangements across the country for carrying out manufacturing and bottling activities. In leasearrangement, TI can use all capacities installed of the lessee and pays the lease rentals against thesame. In tie-up arrangement, TI purchases the input materials as per its quality norms. The blenders ofTI are stationed at the bottling units to oversee the blending and bottling operations. The entire workingcapital of the tie-up units is funded by TI and the net receipts i.e. sales less excise duty, raw materialcost and bottling charges are transferred to TI books and classified as Income from Tie up units. InFY09, IMFL sales through tie-up units were 43% and the rest were through own and lease units. TI'sstrategy of expanding capacity through lease and tie-up units leads to asset light business model for

the company and also helps the company to serve the consumers through shortest lead distance.

As of FY09, the company has garnered 50.7% and 41.4% sales volume in whisky and brandy

respectively. The remaining 7.9% sales comprises of Rum, Gin and Vodka. As of FY09, the company

commands total market share of 7.1%, 3.0% and 3.1% in brandy, whisky and total IMFL market

respectively. Going forward, rum sales volume should increase at rapid pace due to empanelment

of TI's rum in CSD market. However, whisky and brandy will continue to command dominant

proportion in overall sales quantity.

TI's IMFL sale has grown at CAGR of 105.7% through FY07-FY09 period. With tripling of capacity,

we believe, the company to get full benefit of expanded capacity in FY11E and FY12E. We expect

IMFL sales volume to increase by 53.3%, 105.9% and 22.9% YoY to 8.5, 17.5 and 21.5 mn cases in

FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively. We have assumed sales through tie-up units to the tune of

45% of the total sales volume in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E each, and remaining through own and

lease units.

IMFL Sales (incl. tie-up sales)

Source: Company, FQ Research

Our confidence in TI volume growth stems from rapid growth in both value and volume terms of

IMFL industry on the base of favourable demographics and rise in disposable income leading to

increased consumption. Low per capita consumption (India’s 0.8 litres vs Global average of 4.6 litres)

and growing consumer preference for high quality of alcoholic beverages also adds to superior growth.

In addition, measures by the government to discourage consumption of country liquor will lead to

increase in demand for economy range of IMFL, thereby benefitting existing IMFL players. e.g Karnataka

government has banned sale of country liquor in the state.

Growth Drivers in Place…Healthy Growth in IMFL Industry

As per the latest available statistics, the Indian alcoholic drinks market generated total revenues of

USD 12.9 billion in 2008, representing a CAGR of 11.1% for the period 2004-08. Market consumption

was to the tune of 2.2 billion litres in 2008, implying an CAGR of 8.6% between 2004-08 period. The

market's volume is expected to increase by 54.5% to 3.4 billion litres by the end of 2013, representing

a CAGR of 8.6% for the 2008-13 period.

The IMFL segment constitutes 31% of the total liquor market and is a 195 million cases (1 case = 9

litres) market. The IMFL segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.7% through FY10E-15E period

and hence in volume terms the demand will increase to 356 million cases by FY15E. At the same

time, demand for country liquor is expected to reduce from 299 million cases in FY10E to 279 million

cases in FY15E due to growing preference for high quality alcoholic beverages. Thus, enormous

growth in IMFL segment leaves enough scope for expansion to companies like Tilaknagar Industries.

Within pan India IMFL segment, whisky corners the largest share at 52-55%, followed by rum at

22-23%. The brown spirit (Whisky, Brandy and Rum) accounts for around 93% of the market

share. Although Vodka accounts for only 4-5% of total sales, its consumption is growing at healthy

rate of 40% due to increase preference among urban and young population. The breakup of IMFL

Topline Growth

We expect IMFL gross realisation (including excise duty) to increase by 3.0% YoY in FY10E, FY11E

and FY12E to INR 133.3/litre, INR 137.3/litre and INR 141.4/litre respectively. The modest increase

in realisation can be attributed to change in product mix (more contribution from high end premium

products) and price hike to pass on the cost inflation. We expect IMFL gross sales to grow at CAGR of

61.7% through FY09-FY12E period. We have assumed surplus from tie-up income to the tune of INR

1004.6 million, INR 1016.9 million and INR 1286.8 million in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively.

Overall, we expect net sales to increase by 73.4%, 85.7% and 26.6% YoY to INR 4108.6 million,

INR 7631.1 million and INR 9658.3 million in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively.

Grain-based distillery…Less dependence on single feedstock

Molasses Price…Subject to cyclicality of sugar industry

Prior to the commissioning of grain-based distillery, TI had to depend solely on molasses as the key

feedstock. Molasses is the byproduct of sugar manufacturing process. TI's manufacturing plant at

Shrirampur is situated in the heart of cane growing region in Maharashtra and a number of sugar

factories are located there. Hence, molasses availability is not an issue for the company. However,

molasses prices fluctuate according to the cyclicality in the sugar industry. In addition, due to increase

in demand for alcohol from industrial users (chemical manufacturers, pharma industry and liquor

industry) and oil marketing companies (for blending with petrol), sugar factories may reduce direct

selling of molasses. Sugar factories may sell alcohol directly to the users or may charge exorbitantly

for molasses. The situation is more aggravated during deficit in the sugarcane production (Sugar

industry cycle changes every 3-4 yrs).

Direct Grain Sourcing…Backward Integration

With setting up of 100 KLPD grain based distilleries, the company has reduced its over-dependence

on molasses as a feedstock. In fact, it can be said that company has done backward integration and

can directly purchase its feedstock (grains) requirement from the farmers and mandi. The company

plans to use jowar, bajra, broken rice and potato for making alcohol. Generally, the grains used are of

inferior quality and this will lead to win-win situation for both alcohol manufacturers and farmers.

Farmers gain from selling inferior quality of grains to manufacturers, which otherwise would have

gone in feeding cattle's and realise handsome monetary benefits. Manufacturers benefits due to

backward integration and hence reduction in cost.

Cereals (jowar, bajra, rice and maize) are available in abundant quantity in Maharashtra and there

should not be any problem as far as feedstock availibility is concern. Following table shows cereals

Costing

Generally, cost of making grain based alcohol is more than that of molasses based alcohol. Grain is

first milled into flour and then it is fermented into liquor. At the same time, grain based alcohol

commands premium due to better quality. Thus, company plans to cater to high-end premium IMFL

market through grain based alcohol and will cater to low-end market through molasses based alcohol.

Following table shows the ballpark cost of making alcohol from molasses and grains.

Subsidy on grain based alcohol

As per the Maharashtra government policy, TI is eligible for the subsidy of INR 250 million for making

alcohol from grains. The government of Maharashtra will give INR 10/litre rebate on the excise-duty

to the grain-based distilleries. This concession has to be utilized by TI till Dec 2013. In our calculation,

we have not taken into account this subsidy and if INR 250 million is divided equally in FY11E and

FY12E, then it will lead to incremental EPS of INR 3.8/share in FY11E and FY12E each.

Margins to improve…

Sugar Cycle….in reverse gear

During SY09 (Oct08-Sept09), India's sugar production declined to 14.5 million tonnes against the

demand of 22.5 million tonnes. In SY10 (Oct09-Sept10), the sugar production is expected to be

higher at 16-17 million tonnes. However, it will be way below the expected demand of 23.0 million

tonnes. In the wake of cane sourcing competition between sugar mills and gur/khandsari players in

SY10, sugar mills have paid exorbitant cane price of INR 240-280/quintal against fair and remunerative

price of 129/quintal fixed by central government. The exorbitant prices paid by sugar mills in SY10

has incentivize farmers to plant more cane and we expect sugarcane output and hence sugar production

to increase by 30-35% YoY in SY11 (Oct10-Sept11). Molasses availability (being directly linked to

sugarcane output) is also expected to increase proportionately.

Due to expected increase in sugar production in SY11, the sugar prices have corrected from the peak

of INR 42/Kg in Jan to INR 31/Kg in April.

Decline in molasses price… Margins to expand

For SY11, Indian sugar mills will start sugarcane crushing from Oct10 onwards and we expect molasses

prices to start cooling off from the current level of INR 6500-7000/tonne. Thus, we expect the benefit

of decline in molasses price to accrue for TI from 2HFY11E onwards. Overall, we conservatively

expect molasses price to decline by 2.0% YoY each in FY11E and FY12E to INR 6860/tonne and INR

6723/tonne respectively.

As far as manufacturing alcohol from grains is concerned, the company doesn't have any operational

history. In our calculation, we have assumed that the company will be using mainly jowar along with

other grains as a feedstock. We have conservatively taken productivity of 380 litres of alcohol for

every tonne of grains processed in FY11E and FY12E each.

Taking into account Minimum Support Price (MSP) fixed by government for wheat, paddy and coarse

grains (jowar/bajra/maize/ragi/barley) for 2009-10, we have assumed average grain cost of INR 12,000/

tonne and INR 13000/tonne in FY11E and FY12E respectively.

MSP for Foodgrains

It is to be noted that raw material cost accounts for 50-60% of total expenditure and molasses (key

feedstock) accounts for 50-60% of total raw material cost. From FY11E onwards, the full impact of

cost of grains will be added to raw material cost. We expect, feedstock (molasses and grains) contribution

to total raw material cost to remain at 50-60% in FY11E and FY12E also. Overall, we expect raw

material cost to increase by 99.8%, 45.6% and 25.9% YoY in FY10E, FY11E and FY12E respectively.

Taking into account other expenditure, we expect EBITDA to grow at CAGR of 64.9% through

FY09-FY12E period. Due to decline in raw material cost coupled with increase in average realisation

(on the back of change in product mix towards premium category), we expect EBITDA margins to

expand by 80 bps, 70 bps and 30 bps YoY to 19.3%, 20.0% and 20.3% YoY in FY10E, FY11E and

The company has planned to spend INR 800 million in FY11E for setting up a new bottling plant. We

have assumed that the company will spend INR 600 million in FY12E as a part of its capex program.

Other Industry Details

Industry Structure and Market

Liquor manufactured in India is categorised as Beer, Country liquor and Indian Made Foreign Liquor

(IMFL). IMFL production includes whisky, brandy, rum, vodka and gin. Indian Made Foreign Liquor

(IMFL) accounts for a third of the total liquor consumption in India.

Manufacturing Process in Brief

Basic Feedstock Sourcing: Basic raw material for manufacture of alcohol is molasses and/or

grain. Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar industry. Molasses is transported through road tankers

and is stored in huge tanks in the company premises. For manufacturing alcohol, the molasses is

diluted with water into a solution containing 15-16% of sugar.

Fermentation: This solution is then inoculated with yeast strain and is allowed to ferment at

room temperature.

Distillation: The fermented wash is distilled in a series of distillation columns to obtain alcohol

of adequate/ requisite strength and quality/ specification. This alcohol is used for various purposes,

both potable and industrial.

Blending/Bottling: For manufacture of alcoholic beverages, the alcohol is, if required, matured

and blended with malt alcohol (for manufacture of whisky) and diluted to requisite strength to

obtain the desired type of liquor/ Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). This is then bottled in

bottles of various sizes for the convenience of consumers.

Government Policies and Regulations…Entry Barriers for new entrants

Restriction on direct advertising: Direct advertising of alcoholic beverages is banned in India, curtailing

the attempts of global majors to make a strong entry. Promotions, sponsorships, surrogate advertising

done to build brands. E.g. TI sells packaged drinking water under brand name of Senate Royale

packaged drinking water, UB group sponsorship to majority of the teams in IPL and surrogate advertising

through Kingfisher mineral water etc. At the lower end of the market, brand promotion has been

mainly through retailer discounts.

Licensing: Licenses are required to set up a new manufacturing unit. While one can readily expand

existing units, getting a fresh license is cumbersome.

High taxes: Taxes and duties constitute nearly 45-50% of the final Consumer price. In addition to

excise duties imposed by various states, there are also high taxes on inter-state movement of liquor.

Each state levies taxation and duties on alcohol at its own decided rates. The duty structure of each

State is so different that for a company operating at the national level, it is like dealing with 25

countries.

High import duties: Imported liquor is subject to 100% import duty and 150% CV duty. The total

incidence of taxes on imported liquor increases significantly due to presence of numerous state level

taxes.

Existing strong brands: Strong consumer affinity with brands results in very high degree of repeat

purchase. E.g. Kingfisher, Signature Whisky, Mcdowell, Mansion House etc.

Difficulties in distribution: Each state regulates distribution channels of alcohol in its own way.

Distribution controls take various forms: Auctions, free-market system, government- controlled markets

(corporations) and canteen stores departments.

Under the auction system, the Government fixes a floor price for the shops and the bidders have to

quote prices. The license would go to the highest bidder and the bid price would have to be paid in

equated monthly installments. This system operates in Punjab, Rajasthan, Bihar, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh

and Madhya Pradesh. Since there are limited licences, unfair practices are rampant. Some distributors

bid for as many as ten shops at a time for greater control over the market. For instance, in Rajasthan,

12 groups control the wholesale and retail networks. In Uttar Pradesh, three major lobbies are said to

control 70 per cent of the trade in the State.

In the government-controlled system (corporation), the distribution of liquor is through state agencies

such as the TASMAC in Tamil Nadu, BEVCO in Kerala, the Andhra Pradesh Beverage Corporation in

AP, and the DSIDC in Delhi and so on. Since these agencies are sole wholesalers, they also have the

ultimate say in deciding on the entry of a brand into the State.

In a free-market system, there is no government intervention in the pricing and distribution of liquor.

The manufacturers sell liquor to the wholesaler/distributor who in turn sells it to the retail outlets.

Market forces determine pricing. The government issues wholesale/retail licenses for a fee.

Key Concerns

Unfavourable judgement in legal case against Dutch spirit company UTO

TI and UTO, Dutch-based spirit company is engage in a legal battle over the brand Mansion

House and Savoy Club, details of which is given below:

Dutch spirit company UTO has moved the Bombay High Court to reclaim what its says are its

brand, Mansion House and Savoy Club from TI. UTO claims that it has licensed these brands to

TI in 1983. According to the TI, "Mansion House and Savoy Club are registered by TI in the

trademark registry under the provisions of the trademark law. Mansion House labels are also

registered under the Copyright Act. The said registrations are valid and subsisting and TI, therefore

has an exclusive right to use them". In fact, in 1987, UTO ceded its right to the said trademarks

in favour of TI. Therefore, UTO did not demand the TI to give back the said trademarks, nor did

TI give up its right in the said trademarks. The fact that UTO never staked its claim in the 1990s,

when TI was struggling to promote the said brand and create a market for it, reinforces the feeling

that it is not going to give in easily.

Southern region account for highest

consumption at ~38% of India's total

drinks volume

Western region constitute 27% of total

sales, second behind southern region

For Private Circulation OnlyApril 16, 2010 19

Also, while UTO markets only whisky under the Mansion House brand internationally, TI stopped

importing this concentrate from the former in 1991, and instead, developed its own blend of

whisky (as well as brand) under this brand. On its part, it is this IPR that TI will be depending.

Any unfavourable result for TI can have negative impact for the company as a whole.

Increase in key input prices

Currently, the key input for TI is molasses and going forward, grains will also be the key feedstock.

Any spurt in prices of key feedstock above our expectation, due to any reason, will have direct

impact on bottom line of the company.

Concentration of revenue in Southern Region

As more than 90% of revenue for the company comes from southern region, any decline in sales

in Southern region, due to any unavoidable circumstances, can hit the topline of the company

directly.

About Company

TI is one of the leading players in the Indian alcoholic beverage industry and manufactures Indian

Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), with over 16 brands across a diverse range of price and product segments.

TI's primary manufacturing facility is located in at Shrirampur, Maharashtra. Currently, the company

has 100 KLPD molasses based and 100 KLPD grain based distillery. The company sells its products in

18 states through well knit sales and distribution network. Southern region is the main market which

contributes around 90% of the total sales. TI's Mansion House has held the unassailable position in

the premium brandy segment for many years. The company commands around 4% of the IMFL

market nationally.

History

Established in 1933 as Maharashtra Sugar Mills Ltd. (MSM), TI was named after the revered freedom

fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak and was one of Maharashtra's first private sugar factories, which served

the nation for over five decades. Later on, TI moved to an the alcoholic beverage business.
