Q2FY22 Result Update - VST Industries - ICICI Direct

VST reported disappointing results in Q2FY22.

• Sales were down 9.6% YoY, cigarettes volumes de-grew 5% YoY
• EBITDA was at Rs. 104.3 crore, down 7.7% YoY, with margins at 38.4%
• Consequent PAT was at Rs. 79.9 crore (down 9.8% YoY)

Key triggers for future price performance

• With Covid recovery & vaccination drive, mobility to increase by H2FY22. However, cut back in trade discounts could adversely impact volumes
• High priced brands ('Total' & 'Edition') volume contribution to increase in future, which would lead to favourable product mix & margin improvement
• Duties & taxes on cigarettes are expected to remain stable given increasing prevalence of illicit & contraband cigarettes
• We expect dividend payout to increase to ~70% by FY23, which would translate into dividend yield of ~5% at current price
