Hawkins Cookers Ltd (HCL),
incorporated in 1959 by Mr. HD Vasudeva, operates
in two segments i.e. Pressure Cookers and Cookware. The pressure cookers are
marketed under the flagship brand Hawkins, Futura and Miss Mary; cookware is
sold under the Futura brand name.
Shift in trend towards organized sector to propel growth:
market for cooker and cookware segment is ~60%, while the balance is
unorganized. We expect that the organized players will grow faster compared to
unorganized players owing to narrowing price ga
p, strong brand positioning and
superior quality of products, which in turn will benefit branded players like HCL.
Historically, HCL has outperformed TTK Prestige: Over the last 6-
continuously outperformed TTK Prestige (market leader in
segment) in terms of sales growth mainly due to strong brand, higher ad spends,
new product launches and wide distribution network. We believe the company
would continue to outperform peers and increase its market share in this segment.
Increased penetration of cooking gas to drive growth:
penetration has increased to 95% currently from 56% in FY2014 mainly due to
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) scheme. Notably, HCL and TTK Prestige
were unable to achieve strong r
evenue growth in cookers and cookware segment
in the past due to lower penetration of cooking gas. However, given the increased
penetration of cooking gas, HCL has witnessed strong growth in this segment
during the last six quarters, which is evident from its revenue growth numbers.
Falling raw material prices to aid margins: Aluminium is the
HCL, as it constitutes around ~ 20% of revenue
. Aluminium prices have started
softening from April 01, 2019, a correction of 7-8%. Moreover, the c
already taken 4-
5% price hikes previously (to mitigate the increase in input costs in
FY18). Thus, going forward, we expect HCL’s margins to improve 80-
the back of declining raw material prices.
Outlook and Valuation: We forecast HCL to report healthy top-
~14% to `976cr over FY19-
22E on the back of government initiatives, new
product launches, strong brand name and wide distribution network. On the
bottom-line front (reported PAT), we estimate ~23% CAGR to `
str
ong revenue and operating margin improvement (on the back of correction in
raw material prices).
We initiate coverage on HCL with a Buy recommendation
and Target Price of `
4,353 (23x FY2022E EPS), indicating an upside of ~21%
from the current levels.
