EMAMI COMPANY UPDATE

Emami’s healthcare business saw a revenue CAGR of 14% over the past decade and should see 18%+ revenue Cagr over FY21-24 due to the following five reasons:

1. Increased preference towards ayurvedic/natural products (which have zero side effects)

2. Appointment of a new business head (Mr Gul Raj Bhatia), who comes from s reputable company like Dabur.

3. Scaling up existing business in these four ways – (1) increasing distribution reach of chemists’ partners along with focus on ayurvedic doctors; (2) contemporizing into consumer-friendly forms and formats; (3) foray into international markets; and (4) expanding to 500 Zandu ayurvedic stores from current 250.

4. Aggression on NPD due to covid-led tailwinds. 5. Creation of separate D2C website (Zanducare.com), which could become

testing grounds for larger foray into mainstream distribution channels.

Increased preference towards ayurvedic products We believe changes in customers lifestyles lead to increased consciousness about health, lifestyle diseases; these customers are more likely to opt for natural solutions (one without side effects) to treat ailments. Covid-19 has also accelerated the transition towards ayurvedic medicines (particularly food supplements and immunity boosters) as the pandemic has created heightened awareness about immunity. Earlier, customers used to take medicines only when health problems arose, but due to covid-19, they have become more conscious, putting more emphasis on preventive healthcare. Although conventional healthcare is still widely preferred, there is a growing demand for all-natural alternatives that could grow the ayurvedic segments. Benefits such as low toxicity levels and fewer side effects even over prolonged periods of use are some of the reasons why consumers are beginning to prefer ayurvedic / natural products. We believe, proper regulation and enforcement in the alternative medicine industry can go long way in building the trust and confidence among users, who might have concerns, since these products are not validated by a regulator. Moreover, in the longer term, we think there will be major metaphormsis from a product-based approach to a holistic wellness approach, where companies will sell alternative medicines as a part of a larger wellness experience. This experience will

incorporate various facets, such as fitness, meditation, and healthy eating, in combination with the practice of alternative medicine.

Appointment of new business head We believe appointment of Mr Gul Raj Bhatia as head of healthcare business (who was earlier associated with Dabur as VP- Healthcare business) is likely to significantly accelerate the revenue profile of Emami’s healthcare business (up 45% in FY21 vs. muted growth in FY20). Our ground checks suggest that second/senior level of management within healthcare has been shored up, and these new members have also come from other mainstream consumer healthcare companies (Dabur, Baidya Nath, Abbott, Himalaya etc).

Scaling up core business We believe Emami can significantly scale up core business in these four ways

1. Increasing distribution reach of chemists’ partners along with focus on ayurvedic doctors

2. Contemporizing consumer-friendly forms and formats 3. Foray into international markets 4. Expanding to 500 Zandu ayurvedic stores from current 250 stores.

Pancharishta and health supplements (chyawanprash and honey) contribute around 2/3rd of otc business; OTC constitutes c.75% of total healthcare revenues.

Pancharishta was facing growth challenges due to the way it was consumed (as an

antacid such as Eno). It is in fact an ayurvedic solution to enhance digestion. Management has been able to fix this over the past two years by taking the following steps. 1. Changing communication campaign: Clearly highlighting how it improves the

digestive system in the long term, and one shall not expect immediate benefits as seen in the case of antacid.

2. Appointment of Mr Amitabh Bachchan, national icon as brand ambassador. 3. Change in packaging: Movement to PET bottles from glass bottles, leading to

savings in packaging costs and reduced leakages.

Health supplements (Chyawanprash and Honey) Health supplements business has more than doubled from Rs 350-400mn in FY20 to Rs 800mn in FY21 due to covid-19 tailwinds, as new customers entered in to the category. Chyawanprash category (revenue size: Rs 700mn): Emami’s business more than doubled, as consumer’s latched on to the idea that regular consumption of Chawyanprash helps in developing one’s immunity. Ministry of Ayush, Government of India, has been advising that regular consumption of this product, along with a good fitness regime, can significantly help develop one’s immunity.

Extracts from Dabur Annual report – 2021 on Chyawanprash

A multi-centric clinical study was launched to validate the beneficial role of Dabur

Chyawanprash in prophylaxis of COVID-19 infection by virtue of its immunity boosting

property. The findings of the study, which has been submitted for publication in a

peer-reviewed scientific journal, reveal that regular use of Dabur Chyawanprash

reduced the risk of COVID-19 infection by up to 12 times in comparison to control

group which was not consuming Chyawanprash. It was also observed that with

regular usage of Dabur Chyawanprash, there was up to 6 times lesser severity of

COVID 19 infections when compared to subjects in control group. Details of this study

have been shared in the earlier sections of this report. Riding on these initiatives,

penetration of Dabur Chyawanprash doubled to 7-8% during the year. Overall market

share of Dabur Chyawanprash increased by ~200 basis points further strengthening

its position as a market leader in the category

Management is confident of sustaining revenue from Chyawanprash (Rs 700mn for Emami; whereas it stands at Rs 8-9bn for market-leader called Dabur) even after covid-19 tailwinds recede, as Emami leverages its distribution network of chemists and doctors and focuses on marketing its premium range (Zandu Kesari Jeevan).

Key differentiating parameters between Kesari Jeevan (premium) and Chyawanprash (mass market) and mgmt focus on premium range gives it chance to better fight out odds/ competition Zandu Kesari Jeevan Zandu Chyavanprashad

Why has honey consumption shot up after covid-19 coming into play? Consumption of ayurvedic products increased very quickly in FY21. Honey being a natural preservative and sweetener was used in many ayurvedic preparations. Moreover, it is also used as a vehicle along with some medicines to improve its efficacy or to mitigate the side effects of the other medicines it is mixed with.

EMAMI COMPANY UPDATE

What is the playbook for driving growth of legacy healthcare business ?

For driving growth of the existing business, the playbook is going to be: (1) increase chemist coverage, and (2) improve doctor advocacy. Emami has increased chemists’ coverage to 100,000 outlets in FY21 from 75,000 outlets in FY20 and the target is to keep on increasing this reach by at least 10% every year from a medium-term perspective. Moreover, the company is also present is 6,000-7,000 ayurvedic kendras over and above chemists’ availability. It has also enhanced its doctor coverage to 25,000 in FY21 from 22,500 in FY20. Having a strong doctor network is critical for ensuring success in ethical and generics business (25% of healthcare business) – since these verticals work on a doctor’s prescription.

Generics (c.15% of healthcare business): Despite being commoditized, it is very critical for ensuring the success of healthcare Why is the generics portfolio important for an ayurvedic healthcare company? Our ground checks suggest that c.70% of ayurvedic doctors prescribe medicine based on ingredients written in the ancient texts, and defer recommending specific brand names, which can be used to cure ailments. As a result, if Emami wants to advocate its ethical (branded medicine) portfolio to ayurvedic doctors, it won’t get a foot in the door of the doctor’s clinic until it has a generics business. Do generic products earn decent EBITDA margins? We were concerned that generic products (being commoditized) could earn very low margins and might be margin dilutive, but we found this was not the case. Generics products get marketed or advocated to doctors based on their efficacy, stability, and toxicity claims, which allows them to command a premium over other competitors; this in turn enables entire ecosystems (channel partners + ayurvedic companies) to earn decent margins. We were of the notion that healthcare companies (for e.g., Emami) will transition more brands (ethicals) / products (generics) to OTC, because after converting into an OTC brand, Emami is allowed to advertise, and in turn garner better distribution reach (i.e., non-chemist outlets) and improve sales visibility. Is transition from ethicals to OTC difficult? Our ground checks suggest that transition to OTC from ethicals has been difficult, since doctors stop advocating products that have just got converted to OTC, since that would reduce their clinic’s footfalls. Moreover, pharma companies do not have similar DNA of creating brands vis media blitzkrieg, which traditionally has been the forte of FMCG companies. At what point of time should consumer companies take the plunge of moving to OTC from being a pre-dominantly ethicals brand? The answer as per our discussions with consumer experts is – only when reasonable number of sales are already coming via word-of-mouth referrals amongst patients and when customers start picking up a company’s product to solve minor ailments from chemists’ outlets without giving a second thought. Moreover, conversion into OTC allows companies to spend more on advertisements (which hitherto they were not allowed to) and garner better distribution reach / penetration levels, since they were earlier limited to chemists’ outlets.

Consumers generally opt for Ayurveda treatment only in case of chronic disease and generally prefer allopathy treatment for treatment of acute diseases. Acute diseases refer to medical conditions that occurs suddenly and last for short periods. Chronic diseases develop slowly and may last for a lifetime. Chronic diseases are sometimes fatal (cancer, heart-related issues, diabetes, arthritis, etc.). Research-based evidence suggests that through traditional forms of dietary management and interventions of ayurveda, not only risks of NCDs (non-communicable and chronic disease) are reduced; but severity of the disease can also be lessened. To derive the benefits of the above trend, the company has been launching products meant for chronic diseases, but it is yet to find success in these. Launch of Diabrishta-21 (medicine launched for managing sugar levels) Regular consumption of allopathic medicines over a long period leads to gradual increase in sugar levels amongst diabetics, but when consumers combine ayurvedic tonics with allopathic medicines, sugar levels are maintained. In FY20, Emami launched Diabrishta-21, a formulation which diabetic consumers can consume along with their regular medication (allopathy) to improve their daily health. However, it is too early judge the company’s execution capabilities since the last 15 months have been severely impacted due to Covid-19.

Emami created a separate D2C website (www.zanducare.com), almost a year ago. This not only offers product information, but provides an interactive platform to consumers for doctors’ consultations etc., which has significantly added to the sale of healthcare products. Moreover, zanducare.com has been the first to develop a back-end panel of doctors and provide more product information.

In a recent media interaction, Emami’s management highlighted that its D2C platform is clocking a business of Rs 20-25mn every month, and almost about 55,000-60,000 consumers are buying from this portal every month. It has so far collected data of 4.2mn consumers from its D2C channel – it wants to leverage this data and launch exclusive products. For testing these claims, we ordered a Zandu Acidity regulator mid-November 2020, which was delivered after 15 days. Management said the elongated delivery was there because the entire pan-India supply chain was managed from one warehouse; to address logistical challenges, it has added one more warehouse to ease out these problems. Again to check the above claims, we ordered Zandu Kesari Jeevan 4-5 days back and to our surprise, goods were delivered within 2 days alongwith regular update on whatsapp. Emami has changed its pricing strategy for its D2C platforms, and is introducing products at a premium pricing, given that most consumers in the channel are from tier-1 cities.
