Company Analysis Consolidation to continue over FY18; FY19 upbeat by GST implementation

For FY16, tonnage handled for BDE grew 7% YoY to 595623 tonnes while shipments grew 14% YoY to 160 million. Tonnage growth in FY10-16 grew at 14% CAGR whereas total shipments (including domestics and international) grew at 13% CAGR in the same period. Volume growth in the air express industry is largely driven by a robust outlook in industries like banking financial services & insurance (BFSI), e-commerce, pharmaceuticals and automotive. We believe this volume growth would be supported by the addition of a freight plane to BDE’s fleet in FY16. BDE’s presence in the fastest growing segment of the logistics sector and its dominant position in the air express with continuously expanding presence in the ground express segment would enable it to garner higher tonnage.

The cargo of the air express segment is mostly characterised by high value low weight cargo such as gems & jewellery and high-end consumer goods. In the ground express segment, BDE’s market share improved from 5.9% in FY07 to 13% in FY15. The segment is driven by strong outlook in sectors like auto parts, electrical appliances and healthcare services coupled with growth in the e-tailing segment. As a result, BDE has been able to maintain strong volume growth as it has ~96% institutionalised client base providing considerable volume assurance. Going ahead, we believe that with outsourcing of logistic operations by online retail and other sector clients, express and logistics players will benefit notably.

Plethora of products to address myriad customer requirements The USP for the express industry is its ability to provide door-to-door time bound services both in terms of documents and non-documents. BDE, with its suite of integrated solutions provides services right from domestic door-to-door to international door-to-door through its parent’s DHL worldwide network. As an integrated player, BDE’s 24 core offerings distributed across express services, value added services and air freight services cover a gamut of industry requirements. Its bouquet of offerings across ground and air express makes BDE a preferential partner for institutions that require all services under one roof.

Exhibit 3: Core service offerings

Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com Research

Unparalleled network and robust infrastructure catering across India BDE has the distinction of one of the most extensive domestic coverage networks with over 34000+ service locations. The company has a dedicated aviation system with six freighters having a daily haulage capacity of 504 tonnes together with seven air network stations across metro cities. In the ground segment, BDE applies a combination of hub and spoke and centipede model. The ground express segment has a robust fleet size of ~9200 vehicles with 274 touch points servicing 166 network routes and 20 ground hubs. An extensive reach coupled with optimised flight scheduling ensures a superior transit time thereby improving customer value proposition. Among its peers, BDE has double the coverage compared to its nearest competitor (FedEx). FedEx coverage has increased due to acquisition of other Indian logistics companies AFL Pvt Ltd and Unifreight India Pvt Ltd, which will help it strengthen its domestic services. Such extensive coverage coupled with time-bound delivery makes BDE an attractive proposition and partner for business transactions.

Consistently proven profitable business model… The company continues to command market leadership in the organised air express market with ~46% market share. With the addition of a freight aircraft in FY16, BlueDart now operates a fleet of six Boeing 757-200 freighters and manages daily dedicated services of ~504 tonnes. This dedicated aviation and ground infrastructure enables BDE to provide its customers end-to-end express services from a document to a charter load. The management candidly indicated that the key to its success in the air freight business is its routing plan, which has remained unchanged since 1996. BDE intends to remain a market leader in the air express market. However, it aims to increase its market share (currently at 13%) in the organised surface express market. With a growth multiple of ~1.5x of the GDP and ~2x of GDP attached to air express and ground express, we believe BDE is well positioned to capture the incremental growth.

Implementation of GST to boost volumes for organised players The Indian logistics industry is plagued by multiple levels of state and central taxes. Products are prone to double taxation as taxes already paid on inputs are not adjusted on calculation of taxes on the final product. Further complications are in the form of interstate transactions that are taxed separately for which no input tax credit is available. Thus, introduction of GST remains a much awaited reform that will simplify these complications and benefit consumers, produces and the government. More than 140 markets have implemented GST in some form or the other. With numerous benefits at both firm/consumer and economy level, GST is expected to add over 1% to the GDP. Implementation of GST will lead to a simplified tax structure with a majority of taxes pooled under one uniform rate, thereby bringing more efficient tax administration and reduction tax seepages. Due to multiple taxation, firms had resorted to setting up multiple warehouses in different states. This was adding to firm’s costs, as they were unable to take advantage of economies of scale from using larger but fewer warehouses. Implementation of GST will overhaul and compress the entire transportation setup. Under the GST system, it is estimated that tax will be levied on stock transfers and full credit will be given on inter-state transactions. The outcome of the same will enable manufacturers to plan the warehousing and decide on the basis of operational and logistics efficiency. The current supply chain arrangements would be realigned keeping in mind certain proximity to manufacturing locale or consumption markets, resulting in diverse hub-and-spoke models.

Exhibit 6: Impact on warehousing

Source: ICICIdirect.com Research

Post GST, the demand for warehousing is expected to grow at an annual rate of 9% from the current 918 mn sq ft to 1440 mn sq ft. The economies needed would trigger the transition of the logistics sector from the unorganised to the organised market. With a single rate being applied across India, the whole country will act as a single market, thereby reducing taxes in manufactured goods and impacting the pricing of the product. In the absence of a cascading taxation system, manufacturers do not have to maintain multiple warehouses to save inter-state tax. Economies of large scale and centralised management of volumes will bring in higher efficiencies for logistics companies.

Margins to take a toll due to addition of an aircraft; utilisation remains key… BDE is the leader in the air cargo transport with 46% market share, which is considered the premium segment. Further, BDE’s market share on the ground improved from 5.9% in FY07 to 15% in FY16. With an improvement in volumes and tonnages, BDE seeks to optimise operating levers. Rationalisation of fixed expenses and route optimisation will bring in higher efficiencies that will gradually lead to margin expansion. The express market has a large number of unorganised players that are unable to provide the entire spectrum of services across the supply chain and tend to lose business to quality players like BDE. With every additional value-added service, BDE manages to increase the revenue per package, keeping fixed costs constant. Furthermore, a decline in diesel prices and lower aviation turbine fuel enhances margins by 500 bps to 15% for FY16. However, going ahead, with a rebound in crude prices coupled with lower utilisation levels, margins are expected to moderate. The key catalyst here would be a rebound in the B2B segment, which would enable BDE to expand its margins. Exhibit 7: EBITDA margin to recover as economy expected to rebound

BlueDart Express preferred player in logistics segment Logistics, like retail, is a highly fragmented and unorganised segment in India and providing end-to-end service to upcoming online players remains a challenge. BlueDart Express (BDE) with its dedicated air facilities and ground network is well equipped to cater to the growing needs of online retail players. In 2010, as the online retail market began to see green shoots, BDE derived nearly 3% of its revenue from the e-tailing segment. However, currently, the e-tailing segment contributes nearly 25% of total revenue to BDE’s topline registering a CAGR of nearly 80% in FY10-16. Going ahead, as internet penetration grows, growth in the e-tailing segment is expected to be much stronger in tier-II and III cities. Consequently, as BDE expands its network to more pin codes from the current 34267; it will be well geared to cater to a large geographical scope, thereby increasing revenue share from the online retail segment.

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8

Valuation As the economy nears a turnaround, BDE is expected to be one of the foremost beneficiaries in the logistics sector. Its strong institutional clientele and diverse customer proposition such as time definite cargo delivery, temperature controlled cargo movement, etc, virtually ensure consistent cargo volume growth in future. Further, with the growth of the online retail industry, the e-tailing segment is expected to show strong growth. E-tailing revenue for BDE increased at a CAGR of ~80% in FY10-16. As the online segment becomes more vibrant, the revenue contribution from the segment will only be more pronounced. Also, its robust balance sheet with strong cash flow and debt-free capital structure provide a cushion at difficult times. Going ahead, as we expect the economy to gather steam, passing of fuel hikes to customers becomes smoother leading to an improvement in margin. Also, as the central government emphasises on implementation of GST, it is expected to bring a structural change in the sector, as a whole. We believe, as a leading player, BDE is well poised to ride the next growth wave. Following the delay in GST implementation coupled with slower-than-expected revival in trade activities we had moderated our phase 1 (FY16 -18) revenue expectations in our three phases of DCF valuation methodology. With lower-than-expected 9MFY17, we taper our phase one growth to 4.6% CAGR (vs. earlier 8.5%). Further, as GST gets implemented (assuming in FY18) it would take a minimum of two years for the benefits to percolate to the logistics industry together with enhanced revenue contribution from the e-tailing segment. Consequently, our phase two (FY19-25) revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 23%. Subsequently, in the third and the last phase (FY26-30), we anticipate a stable growth period with both revenue and net profit posting 15% growth. Subsequently, with an average cost of equity of ~12% over the three phases (Phase-1=11.3%, Phase-2=12.2% & Phase-3=12%) and terminal growth rate of 4.5%, we arrive at a DCF based target price of | 5500 with a BUY recommendation on the stock.
