CCL Products (India) Ltd - Q3FY22 Result First cut - YES Securities

Mixed quarter with strong revenue growth offset by weak margins; remain positive on the stock given attractive valuations and strong FY22-24 earnings visibility

• Result summary - 3Q revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of 41.2%/28.2%/24.1% led by weak base, strong order book and seemingly better realizations. Revenue growth came in well ahead of our estimate of 25% growth.
• Topline - Overall Revenue growth of 41.2% yoy to Rs 4.2bn, standalone business grew 38.2%, subsidiaries grew 46.3% despite a high base of 41% indicating strong offtake from Vietnam and domestic branded business.
• Margins - Gross margin fell 730bps due to sharp 930bps fall in standalone business margin given the sharp rise in coffee prices. EBITDA margin fell 220bps to 21.9% with standalone margins decreasing 510bps to 16.2% and subsidiaries margins improving 220bps to 30.9%. Margin contraction was partially offset by lower employee and SGA expenses.
• Earnings - PAT came in at Rs58.5cr below our estimate of Rs63cr.
• Dividend - Declared interim dividend of Rs 3/share.
• View - While margin performance was disappointing (but transient in our view), growth momentum seems to be picking up well which should help sustain the ongoing re-rating journey for the stock. We currently have a BUY rating with a TP of Rs 500, we will revisit our estimates post con call tomorrow at 10:30am. Con call details - 022 6280 1304.
