Comments :

Subject is a well-established and third largest packet tea company in volume terms, in India having fine track record.

 

The company possesses a strong financial profile marked by conservative capital structure, strong debt coverage indicators, sound liquidity and high return on capital employed.

 

Management has reported consistent volume and value growth witnessed by its brands in the recent past, resulting in a steady growth in cash accruals during FY 14.

 

The ratings also take into consideration the susceptibility of volume growth and profit margins to volatility in bulk tea prices and higher marketing spend.

 

However, trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are reported are regular and as per commitments.

 

In view of established market position and its reputed flagship “WAGH BAKRI” brand, the subject can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

NOTE:

 

The Registered Office of the Company has been shifted from Vipal Estate, Near Pragati High School, Khokhra Mehabebad, Ahmedabad – 380008, Gujarat, India, to the present address (w.e.f. 16.06.2006)

 

 

TEA SCENARIO:

 

Tea production which normally starts from mid-March and gradually picks up with the progress of the season till December has been affected this year due to the El Nino effect. North India witnessed a drought like condition resulting in lower availability of tea in the supply chain. Though we have received good rain fall during the first fortnight of May, green leaf intake will only startincreasing from mid-June.

 

The April-May crop loss is expected to be lower by 20% to 30%. This shortfall in crop has resulted in buoyancy in prices for the new season with sellers quoting Rs. 30 to 40 above last year for quality teas and up to Rs. 20 for mediums. We expect the season to normalize post June as currently the North East section has received adequate rain fall of 5 to 8 inches.

Unfortunately, Sri Lanka and Kenya are also undergoing crop short fall and are lower in production by 8 million and 5 million kgs. Respectively.

 

Globally, the shortfall of 14.5 million Kgs. is witnessed till March this year. If this trend continues, we expect that the buoyancy in prices through the season should be up by 10%. Considering the domestic CAGR is growing at 3% against production CAGR of 2%, we expect the upward trend in prices to continue even during the peak cropping months (last year was a record crop from July to Oct).

 

Exports this year would close between 180 to 200 million Kgs. as Iran and Pakistan markets have not shown much interest this season (they may enter later in the year). Considering the health benefits, the demand for Organic tea and Green tea is increasing rapidly and it is estimated that consumption in this category would double in the next few years. The health benefit is the major reason for growth in this category.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF CURRENT YEAR & FUTURE PLANS:

 

The Company witnessed another financial year which was encouraging in terms of business growth as well as profitability. The Company is in process to expand its distribution network to cover the untapped areas which will be helpful to reach larger section of consumers over a period of time.
