Havells India: Operating performance ahead of expectations
Healthy overall performance for the quarter:
Revenue grew 48% YoY to
INR25.3b (est. of INR24.8b) in 4QFY18 supported by strong performance of the
core business (+18% YoY, adj. for excise impact on exempted zones) and
equally robust performance from newly acquired Lloyd electrical business
(INR5.8b for 4QFY18). Operating profit of INR3.6b (+55.8% YoY) was ahead of
our estimate of INR3.1b, led by above-estimated performance in Lighting
(contribution margin of 31% vs 28% in 4QFY17) and Lloyd Electrical
(contribution margin of 22% in 4QFY18). Adj. PAT of INR2.3b (+37% YoY) was
above our estimate of INR2.1b. For FY18, revenue stood at INR81.4b (+33%
YoY), operating profit at INR10.5b (+27% YoY) and PAT at INR7.0b (+17% YoY).
We like HAVL given (a) successful development of brand, distribution and
product portfolio, (b) demonstrated track record of accelerating growth
through new launches, (c) healthy dividend payout and (d) robust return ratios
