BACKGROUND
The Company is a public company incorporated on January 15, 1992 under
the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The Company is principally engaged in
manufacturing and marketing of fabric whiteners, soaps, detergents, mosquito
repellents, scrubber, bodycare and incense sticks.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Jyothy Laboratories came
into being in 1983 and has grown to become a multi-brand, multi-product company
with operations all over the nation. The Company has its presence in the fabric
care, household insecticide, dishwash, personal care and other home care
segments.
The company has the distinction of making a mark in the
virtually non-existent category of liquid fabric whitener. With products that
are reasonably priced, conveniently packaged, extensively distributed and
supported by strategic communication, Jyothy Laboratories has established a
strong presence in the market as well as in the minds of millions of households
in India.
Today, Jyothy Laboratories has a pan Indian presence with
brands catering to the needs of consumers across the length and breadth of the
nation. The group today has a turnover of over Rs.13000.000 Millions. All
manufacturing facilities and personnel are sensitised to ensure minimal
wastage, promote environmental conservation and maintain high quality
standards.
PERFORMANCE
During the year, the sales of soaps and detergents was Rs.9532.365
Millions compared to Rs.7559.459 Millions in previous year and the sales in
homecare segment grew to Rs.2913.197 Millions compared to Rs.2449.086 Millions
in previous year. The profitability of Soaps and Detergents segment improved to
Rs.1269.318 Millions from Rs.765.471 Millions in the previous year. The
profitability in homecare segment improved to Rs.833.76 Millions from Rs.794.13
Millions in the previous year.
GLOBAL OVERVIEW
The US witnessed
broad-based growth across sectors while the UK gradually emerged from recession
during the last fiscal year. Japan experienced high growth on account of its
Abenomics policy powered by monetary easing and public spending. Growth in the
Eurozone remained uneven, and struggled to gain momentum. Speculation about the
withdrawal of quantitative easing in the US led to capital flight and currency
depreciation, hurting developing countries in their financial markets.
Most emerging economies adjusted through depreciated
currencies and higher interest rates. Going forward, lower commodity prices are
good for the emerging world’s commodity importers; so are rising demands for
exports from developed markets. However, policy makers still need to
re-energise the domestic demand story. ‘
For FY 2013-14 as a
whole, India’s current account deficit declined significantly to 1.7% of the
GDP (Source: RBI Bi-monthly policy statement, June 2014). This was largely due
to shrinking import demand, reduced gold imports and revival of export growth.
India has created adequate buffers of forex reserves, with an increase in
portfolio investments in India.
The RBI has allowed
foreign portfolio investors to participate in the domestic exchange traded
currency derivatives market to the extent of their underlying exposures plus an
additional US$ 10 million. This will improve the depth and liquidity in forex
markets.
With sensible reining of expenditures and containing fiscal
deficit at 4.6% of GDP, India can now accelerate the pace of reforms in
2014-15. (Source: Department of Economic Affairs). Comprehensive policy actions
and revival in aggregate demand should help India move forward on the path to
sustained growth
Structural reforms in China geared to making growth more
consumption-driven and gradual tightening of the monetary policy in US, if
orchestrated rightly can give a further fillip to global growth.

RELEASE:
JYOTHY
LABS RAISES RS.2630.000 MILLIONS VIA PREFERENTIAL ALLOTMENT
Home-grown consumer goods company Jyothy
Laboratories Limited (JLL) today said it has raised Rs.2630.0000 Millions via
preferential allotment of shares to a promoter Group firm.
The city-based company has allotted 15 Millions equity shares of Re 1 each at a
price of Rs.175.15 per equity share to Sahayadri Agencies Limited.
Post allotment, the paid up equity share capital of Jyothy Labs has increased
to Rs.1810.000 Millions from Rs.166.000 Millions. With this the promoter
holding in JLL has gone up from 63.69% to 66.7%, a company release said here.
"Post successful integration with Henkel India it was the right time to
invest in existing brands and also expand JLL's portfolio. The preferential
allotment of shares along with NCDs to a clutch of investors will help JLL to
save the yearly interest burden of about Rs.600.000 Millions, leaving a cash
balance of about Rs.2500.000 Millions, Jyothy Labs
Joint Managing Director Ullas Kamath said.
"The fund will be utilised for the organic and inorganic growth of the
company," he said.
The FMCG firm last month raised Rs.4000.000 Millions through zero coupon
non-convertible debentures (NCDs) payable after three years.
The amount raised through preferential allotment has been used to repay the
term loan of approximately Rs.4000.000 Millions, the release said.
The news of preferential allotment boosted Jyothy Labs shares. The stock ended
the day at Rs.199.70, up 5.86% on the BSE. In intra-day, the scrip jumped
10.25% to Rs.208.
DEBT-FREE
JYOTHY LABS REVEALS ITS ACQUISITION PLANS
After having raised Rs.2625.000 Millions through preferential allotments
and with the addition of Rs.4000.000 Millions- worth Negotiable Certificate of
Deposits (NCDs), FMCG company Jyothy Labs is now debt-free.
Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Ullas Kamath, joint managing director, Jyothy
Labs says the company now has a war chest of Rs.2500.000 Millions which it will
use to expand inorganically.

“Yes, we have identified some of the brands but it is too early for me
to comment on that. But like any other growing company, inorganic growth is
best way to grow in India and which we demonstrated by our acquiring Henkel and
now that it is behind us, we thought, why not. Also the new management team is
in place and the products are in place, it is the right time for us to grow,”
adds Kamath who has a one year timeline for the acquisition.
Below is the edited transcript of Kamath’s interview to CNBC-TV18
Q: Take us through this preferential allotment and how will you utilise
this money?
A: This preferential allotment is to the promoter group at Rs.175 and we
have brought in Rs.2625.000 Millions against this preferential allotment. We
had raised Rs.4000.000 Millions of Negotiable Certificate of Deposits (NCD)
coupon payable after three years. With that, we have now Rs.6620.000 Millions
coming into the company with which we have paid off all the debts now. The
reason for raising this money, one to have the war chest into the company that
we have now about Rs.2500.000 Millions of bank balance now which will help us
to grow to the next level and we are also seeing any opportunity for inorganic
growth. So, the reason is mainly to grow the business and also the interest
what we used to pay about Rs.600.000 Millions every year which is about 4 EPS
wont be there from this quarter onwards.
Q: About the inorganic growth, can you give us some more details about
or throw some more light on whether anything is planned in 2014 itself and what
could we be looking at?
A: Like any other growing company, we keep looking at any other opportunities
available, now that we have acquired Henkel and we have seen Henkel become a
game changer for Jyothy in a way if you see. So, we are extremely happy to look
at any probable inorganic growth opportunity especially in India and with the
regional brand. So we are keeping ourself ready with the war chest of
Rs.2500.000 Millions and now balance sheet is completely now free of all the
debt. We are hoping to do something in the coming year.
Q: Within which segment are you looking at for inorganic growth, will it
be in the soaps and detergents segment or will it be in the other homecare
segment, anything that you have identified yet?
A: We will be extremely happy if it is in the fabric care segment but we
don't mind going with other categories as long as it becomes a synergised
product with the sales distribution and manufacturing setup what we have. So,
we will not be going completely outside from where we are now but in case we
get a product which can fit in our existing portfolio, I will be extremely
happy. We are especially looking at regionally strong brands.
Q: Have you zeroed in on anything because the problem with this space is
that not too many players and if there are, the deals normally happen at very
high prices and sometimes the synergies are not good enough at that price, are
there any particular targets that you have in mind?
A: At this point in time we do not want to discuss about it. It is not
just a valuation, we need to see how it adds value to our existing setup. It
takes time and it is always better to have the money in the bank first and then
start talking to people. Yes, we have identified some of the brands but it is
too early for me to comment on that. But like any other growing company,
inorganic growth is best way to grow in India and which we demonstrated by our
acquiring Henkel and now that it is behind us, we thought, why not. Also the
new management team is in place and the products are in place, it is the right
time for us to grow.
JYOTHY
LABORATORIES' HENKEL ACQUISITION PAYS OFF IN 2 YEARS
In 2011, when Jyothy Laboratories, which makes soaps, detergents, fabric
whiteners and home insecticides, announced that it's
acquiring stake in loss-making Henkel India, its stock tanked almost 20%. Every
equity research outfit thought it was a crazy thing to do and put a 'Sell'
recommendation on it.
Henkel India's revenues were Rs.4000.000 Millions
and it was making a loss of Rs.6000.000 Millions, while Jyothy's revenues were
at Rs.6000.000 Millions and its profit after tax, Rs.740.000 Millions.
"The whole world was negative about this acquisition except me and my
chairman," recalls Ullas Kamat, joint managing director of Jyothy Labs.
"Without looking at the company's profit and
loss statement, we asked ourselves if we could generate 14-15% operating
margins on their products. The answer was yes. They had 7 strong brands which
had survived for more than 25 years, but were just not managed well. Henkel
India's operating margins were at -4.4% then," says Kamat.
Their optimism wasn't misplaced, and in less than two years of acquisition, the company turned around Henkel India.
"We realised that Henkel was spending too much on ads, and its sales were
more geared towards urban India. At the same time, our strength was in rural
areas. This all-India brand recognition made it easy for us to take Henkel's
products to the rural markets," explains Kamat.
Moreover, Jyothy Labs trimmed Henkel's staff strength to 50 from 475.
Many of them retired voluntarily as they were expats and didn't want to work
for an Indian company. Jyothy also roped in Raghunandan S, current CEO of
Jyothy and ex-Reckitt India head, and more than 200 people from big consumer
companies, including HUL, Dabur, PandG, Cadbury, Marico and Paras.
"I give a lot of credit to Raghunandan for the turnaround,"
says Kamat. "He helped us improve the entire working
capital cycle. Our distributor margin is down to 6% from 8% earlier. He
improved our procurement and saved on costs."
All this helped the company achieve 8% efficiency, which means on a top
line of Rs.12000.000 Millions, it saved almost Rs.1000.000 Millions. This
helped it improve profitability and at the same time allowed high ad spends. In
the last two years, it has almost doubled its ad spends from 5-6% of sales to
10% now.
The result is also reflected in numbers. In the first nine months of
FY14, Jyothy's sales were up 24% at Rs.9250.000 Millions, and profit after tax
139% at Rs.770.000 Millions, year-on-year. The company's stock has outperformed
the BSE FMCG Index by 30% in the past six months. Going forward, Jyothy Labs is
confident of delivering strong growth. "We will grow our top line by at
least 25%, and bottom line by 35-40% over the next couple of years," says
Kamat, adding, "We are hungry to deliver."
On Thursday, Jyothy Labs stocks slipped a tad to close at Rs 207.20 on
BSE from its previous close of Rs.207.25.
Confident than ever before, the company is looking at more acquisitions.
"We are already talking to a few regional companies and are comfortable
with an acquisition of around Rs.5000.000 Millions. You can expect an
announcement in the June quarter." But this time, we won't be diluting our
equity - it will be mostly funded through internal accruals and debt, Kamat
adds.
HOW
JYOTHY LABORATORIES SILENCED SCEPTICS
Soon after homegrown Jyothy Laboratories acquired Henkel’s India
business in May 2011, joint managing director Ullas Kamath went on a month-long
road trip across the country. Kamath remembers that as being a lonely time,
with only his driver for company. Just as well, though, as it was also a time
for introspection and ideation.
Consider that Kamath, along with his boss MP Ramachandran, the
chairman-promoter of Jyothy, had just engineered a takeover that left many in
the industry stunned. For a bargain basement price of Rs.6850.000 Millions, Henkel AG had sold its Indian consumer products business
to Jyothy, which hadn’t yet completed three decades of operations.
No one doubted that Jyothy had come a long way since it was founded in 1983.
However, it was still considered a one-hit wonder with Ujala, its fabric
whitener, as the cash cow. The markets feared that Jyothy had bitten off more
than it could chew. How could a domestic company successfully revive an ailing
multinational that had accumulated losses of around Rs.6000.000 Millions Did
they have the management bandwidth or the marketing budgets? What about the
RandD set up that would spur innovation—a key factor in the success of consumer
franchises?
In the months that followed, the doubts manifested in Jyothy’s stock price
which took a beating, erasing almost 40 percent of its market cap. The sceptics
were vindicated—but not for long.
Not one to be fazed by the noise around him, Kamath, who had been keeping a close
eye on Henkel, had an integration plan all laid out in his head. But to begin
with, he knew that rallying the sales force (known internally in the company as
its ‘white army’) was what would eventually make the difference between success
and failure. On that journey, Kamath crisscrossed the country, making it a
point to spend the nights in the homes of his salespersons. “I wanted them to
feel like they were the most important people in the company,” he says.
Two-and-a-half years on, his efforts have borne fruit. Jyothy is on course to
cross Rs.10000.000 Millions in revenue. Its EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margins—a key measure of a consumer
goods company’s health—are at 14.5 percent, up from
9 percent. It has also charted out an aggressive growth path. So much so that
Ramachandran and Kamath are already mapping out the road ahead. Their
destination: Rs.50000.000 Millions in sales in the next five years.
Integrating Henkel
When Jyothy inked the Henkel deal in May 2011, here’s what it bought: The
Indian subsidiary of a German multinational that had been operating in India
for the last 22 years. During that time it had never been profitable and, with
a top line of Rs.4000.000 Millions, its losses stood at RS.400.000 Millions a
year. Over the years, it had lost over Rs.6000.000 Millions, a sorry legacy for
a prospective buyer to have to take over. Its brands, Henko (detergent), Pril
(utensil cleaner) and Margo (soap), were seen as laggards and had never been backed
up with significant marketing spends.
But for Kamath all that mattered was the gross margin. And all of Henkel’s
brands had gross margins of over 25 percent. Some like Margo, a small soap
brand with a fanatical following, exceeded 50 percent. A state-of-the-art
detergent plant in Karaikal near Pondicherry was part of the deal too. Henkel’s
accumulated losses of Rs 6000.000 Millions were also transferred to Jyothy’s
books
This, however, was not a worry for Kamath. Jyothy, which had followed a dispersed
manufacturing model, had 22 plants across the country. While setting these up,
the company had been granted tax breaks that would expire over the next few
years.
Kamath could set off the Rs.6000.000 Millions against this tax liability. The
company also had real estate worth at least Rs.1000.00 Millions. Further, from
Henkel’s staff strength of 475 people, Kamath believed he would need to retain
no more than 50.
“This was the time when Paras had been sold for eight times its sales [to
Reckitt Benckiser]. And here I was buying a company for one-and-a-half times
its sales value… no one was convinced,” says Kamath.
