Robust revenue performance from specialty chemical continues in Q4FY20, with 47%

yoy growth amid supply chain disruptions due to Covid-19. The company has outpaced

its revenue guidance of 45-50% in the segment and delivered over 80% growth in FY20.

The economic slowdown impacted all other segments. Packaging Films’ (PF) margins

expanded 477bps yoy on lower raw material prices, while Chemicals margins fell 174bps

yoy due to weak export R-gas prices and lower utilization of new R-gas capacities.

Management is confident that Specialty Chemicals (20-25% growth FY21E) will drive

growth in the medium term. In R-gas, penetrating new export markets and in PF, capacity

expansion with a focus on high-value products would support revenue growth.

Strong demand outlook in Specialty Chemicals amid Covid-19 remains the core catalyst

for the stock to perform. Expansion in the chemical segment is likely to mitigate upcoming

margin pressure on PF due to oversupply in the market. We roll forward our SoTP-based

TP to June’22E earnings and arrive at a TP of Rs4,156. Maintain Buy rating/OW in EAP.

What we like: Stronger-than-expected growth in the Specialty Chemical segment

What we did not like: Technical textile (TT) and R-Gas revenue under pressure from automotive

slowdown

Speciality chemical standing against the tide: SRF’s Chemicals segment reported sales growth

of 5% yoy to Rs8.8bn in Q4 (highest sales ever), owing to rising demand for specialty products from

Agrochem and Pharma sectors (mainly exports). Management expects Speciality Chemicals to

lead growth in the medium term and has allocated Rs2.5bn to develop the product pipeline in FY21.

On the other hand, weakness in the auto sector remains an overhang on R-gas and SRF aims to

revamp this by exploring new export markets (Europe), given the low cost domestic base benefit.

The Chemical segment’s EBIT margins contracted by 174bps yoy to 18% in Q4FY20. In PF, sales

fell 3.5% yoy to Rs6.01bn, while EBIT margin expanded 477bps to 21.7%, due to a rise in volumes

and value-added products (20% share). The company expects an uptick in utilization levels for the

films segment, resulting from a surge in demand for hygienic packaging in the post Covid-19 world.

However, with 4-5 new capacities coming in the next 3-5 quarters, margins in PF are likely to soften.

Although, TT segment (down 22%) continues to face pressure from a slump in the auto sector,

signs of recovery in the replacement market is expected to lend support from Q2FY21.

Growth outlook remain firm; maintain Buy: Strong demand outlook in Specialty Chemicals amid

Covid-19 issues remains the core catalyst for the stock to perform. Expansion in the chemical

segment is likely to mitigate upcoming margin pressure on PF due to oversupply in the market. We

roll forward our SoTP-based TP to June’22E earrings and arrive at a TP of Rs4,156. Maintain Buy

segment and a longer-than-expected slowdown in the auto industry.

Conference call highlights

Specialty Chemicals

Management remains optimistic on Specialty Chemical (20-25% FY21E growth) to be the

growth driver, backed by a strong pipeline of innovative products for international markets.

In FY20, Specialty Chemicals revenue was Rs16bn (54% of total Chemical sales) and the

rest was from the Fluorochemicals business.

R-gas

On the Fluorochemicals front, it expects muteness in the near term from the slowdown in

the automotive sector. However, this shall be mitigated by expanding into newer export

markets such as Europe, given the relative low-cost base for Indian goods, as well change

in white goods dynamics. The trade wars between US and China may be beneficial too.

For R-gas, OEM is 40-45% of the business and the rest 55-60% is replacement market. It

expects much faster consumption of additional capacities (earlier guidance was 3 years).

Current capacity utilization was 70-75% for all HFC capacities.

R134a has 100% auto application, while other R-gas products have blended applications.

Packaging Film

In Packaging Films business, company sees volume growth and value-added products to

play key role. Hungary plant commercialization has been deferred to Q2FY21. 4 to 5 lines

to be commissioned in next 3 to 5 quarters (1 already commissioned, 1- Pakistan, 1-Poland

and some other regions, 28-40k per line)

Technical Textiles

For Technical Textiles, the bottom line would be maintained by cost-control efficiencies.

Management sees faster recovery in the replacement market (by Q2FY21) than the OEM

segment. Inventory revaluation impacts Rs30-40mn in the TT business in Q4. SRF sees

3.5k – 4k tons per month is doable in such scenario in upcoming quarters. (stable)

Others

In Others segment, several new products have been launched in coated and laminated

fabrics. However, oversupply in the market weighs on performance.

Export profile for various segments: Specialty Chemical – 80%/90%, Fluorochemical –

Balanced, Technical Textiles – Majority is domestic, Packaging Films – 50%/60%.

Debt reduction in the range of Rs2-3bn is expected, subject to capex announcements.

Crude oil volatility will always have an effect on Technical Textiles and Packaging Films

businesses. Realizations would move in tandem with oil prices, however, EBIT margins

and profitability are a function of conversion margins for key raw materials.

Blended cost of debt stands in the range of 3.5% to 3.75% in FY20 (on global basis).

Capex

Capex guidance for FY21 stands at Rs12-13bn (Rs8bn for Thailand & Hungary lines,

Rs2.5bn spec chemical to add new products, capex rolled forward earlier periods, Rs1bn

unbudgeted), depending how the situation evolves.
