HOLD

Strong backward integration key strength…

Amber Enterprises (India) (Amber) is mainly engaged in the designing and

manufacturing of room air conditioners (RAC) in India. The company is the

market leader in the RAC OEM/ODM industry (original equipment

manufacturer/original design manufacturer) with a volume market share of

~20% manufacturing for eight out of the top 10 RAC brands in India. Amber

raised ~| 475 crore through an IPO in 2018 and utilised the funds for debt

reduction, capacity expansion of RAC and to fund series of acquisition in

component business. It recorded a consolidated revenue, earning CAGR of

29%, 107% in FY17-19 supported by customer additions and reduction in

interest cost. We believe Amber is a play on strong demand prospect of

RACs in India (likely to grow at 18% CAGR in FY19-21E) and rising trend of

domestic manufacturing. Hence, its performance is likely to remain strong

with revenue, earning CAGR of ~20% and ~38% supported by stable

margin and reduction in corporate tax rate (saving of ~500 bps). We also

believe that higher asset turnover with stable margin would result in an

improvement in return ratios, going forward. We ascribe 16x FY21E earnings

with a HOLD rating on the stock and a target price of | 945/share.

OEM/ODM to benefit from rising localisation of RACs

The RAC market is expected to witness 18% CAGR reinforced by a surge in

rural consumption, shorter replacement cycles and government push of

energy-efficient RACs at affordable price points. RAC volumes are expected

to increase from 5.5 million units in FY19 to 8.2 million units by FY22E.

Further, contract manufacturing constitutes ~38% of total RAC market

volumes which is expected to reach 56% by FY22, highlighting the immense

potential of key players like Amber.

Strong customer base

Amber has developed strong relationships with its customers, which

includes eight out of the 10 top RAC brands in India. Key customers include

Daikin, Hitachi, LG, Panasonic, Voltas and Whirlpool. These customers

command around 75% share in the Indian RAC markets.

Valuation and outlook

We like Amber for its leadership position in the RAC OEM/ODM industry in

India with a strong customer base. Focus on component business provides

Amber an edge over the competition to acquire new customers and increase

the wallet share of existing customers. With strong revenue earnings

estimate of ~20%, 38%, we ascribe 16x FY21E earnings with a HOLD rating

on the stock and a target price of | 945/share.

Investment Rationale

Indian RAC industry at inflection point

The Indian RAC industry recorded a value CAGR of ~15% in the last 10 years

to reach | 16400 crore in FY19. Increasing urbanisation, innovative products,

affordable pricing and high disposable incomes have aided in the strong

growth in the RAC market in India. During 2018, the RAC industry de-grew

3% as it witnessed several headwinds, led by GST transition, change in

energy-efficiency ratings and unprecedented rains in quarter 1 (peak

season). Despite a periodic aberrations, we believe the industry is likely to

witness 18% CAGR in FY19-21E led by a surge in rural consumption, shorter

replacement cycles and government push of energy-efficient RACs at

affordable price points. RAC volumes are expected to increase from 5.5

million units in FY19 to 8.2 million units by FY22E. The Indian RAC market

presents a huge opportunity for players to garner a larger share of the

market due to low household penetration of cooling products in India

(~10%). Viewed as a luxury product in the recent past, the sweltering and

longer summers in the country have led to the creation of new demand for

RACs not only in larger cities but also in Tier II/III cities where heightened

economic activity has resulted in greater affordability. Additionally, new

product features and technological advancement in the RAC market have

added to the increase in replacement demand of the product.

Contract manufacturing to gain market with rising localisation

Contract manufacturing of RAC constitutes around 38% of total RAC market

in India. By FY22, the volume share of contract manufacturing is expected

to reach 56% of the total RAC market volumes, highlighting the immense

potential for key players like Amber. Intense competition and growing

number of RAC brands in the market has forced RAC players to concentrate

on marketing and promoting their products to spread sales reach and

expand market share. RAC brands are adopting an asset light strategy.

Hence, they are choosing to outsource most manufacturing of RAC and RAC

components to contract manufacturers.

Contract manufacturer have also invested in expanding and building newer

capabilities to serve the overall white goods market in India. R&D, design

and engineering were substantially negligible revenue generating activities

in the overall portfolio of services offered to RAC brands five years back.

With increasing dependence of RAC brands on contract manufacturing,

priority has been given to strengthen R&D, design and engineering

capabilities that are high-value activities among all services.

Faster product development cycles to benefit contract

manufacturer with strong backward integration

As domestic demand of RAC has been continuously rising, the volume of

manufacturing that is outsourced by RAC brands is expected to grow at a

higher rate. Another key contributor towards growing contract

manufacturing market share is the entry of many new players in the RAC

markets (Including e-com players such as Flipkart, Amazon). These new but

relatively smaller players lack backward integration capabilities making them

entirely reliant on OEM/ODM companies to bring their products to the

market. The rate of change of technology and product features of consumer

durables, especially RACs, has undergone tremendous changes such that

RAC brands find it challenging to match the pace. This brings the contract

manufacturers to the forefront as they exhibit flexibility in a dynamic

environment through nimble manufacturing operations, shorter timelines

and attractive economics.

As the growing RAC market demand drives local manufacturing volumes, it

complements OEM/ODM companies’ investment in their facilities and

capabilities as they gain an edge over vendors on sourcing contracts,

thereby strengthening their supply chain. Improving economies of scale in

manufacturing has accelerated the shift in manufacturing locations shifting

from South East Asian countries to India in the overall consumer durables

market, which also includes RAC and RAC component manufacturing. Share

of imports would gradually decline in the next few years as domestic

production aims to substitute imports. The efficiency of contract

manufacturer to cater the requirements of RAC brands will define growth of

individual companies in the segment. The comparison of CAGR for the

overall RAC market vis-à-vis outsourced manufacturing clearly shows the

high growth expected in the OEM/ODM market, going ahead. In FY12, 16%

of the total value RAC market was catered to by OEM/ODM players, which

grew to 38% in FY19. Further, in FY22, this percentage is anticipated to grow

to 56% by volume. The trend is unequivocal evidence of the industry tilting

towards contract manufacturing. The company is the leading player with

55% share in volume terms in the overall OEM/ODM market in India.

Amber is one of the most prominent companies in RAC manufacturing such

that it serves 8 top RAC brands in India. In case of the overall RAC market, it

commands a volume share of 20% in FY19, which grew from 15% in FY15.

Continuous increasing proportion of components and other

business in Amber’s portfolio

Over the last three years, Amber has increased its component

manufacturing capability by acquiring component manufacturing facilities in

India. The company has acquired ILJIN and EVER Electronics, to strengthen

its component manufacturing capability. Both companies are into

manufacturing of PCBs for home appliances, automobile players and serving

major industry players like LG, Godrej, LS Automotive, etc. Amber has total

~8 million units PCB manufacturing capacity in India. Recently, the company

also entered the HVAC segment through the acquisition of Sidwal

Refrigeration Industries Ltd.

Sidwal is a quality-focused heating ventilation air conditioning solutions

provider that caters to Indian Railways, metros, bus air-conditioning,

defence, telecom and commercial refrigeration. It has an established market

leadership in supplying over 15,000 and 2,000 heating & ventilation air

conditioning units for mainline coaches (such as the recently introduced

Vande Bharat Express) and metro segments, respectively. The acquisition

provides following synergies to Amber: 1) direct entry to the product

segment which has high entry barrier of up to six to seven years. Besides

this, setting up a pan-India service network for maintenance of coaches

makes the entry of new players even more challenging, 2) Amber would

leverage Sidwal’s technical background to cater to its existing customers for

products like commercial air-conditioners, air-handling units and fan coil

units, 3) would help reduce seasonal dependency of RAC business, 4) better

bargaining power for Amber in terms of outsourcing raw materials, which is

same for both companies and 5) margin accretive for Amber as Sidwal’s

EBITDA margin much higher at ~19% compared to ~8% of Amber. Further,

Sidwal has an outstanding order book of | 200 crore. The management

guided that the revenue potential of Sidwal with current capacity would be

| 400 crore in the next two years.

Post acquisition of Sidwal, the contribution of components and other

business in Amber’s total topline has increased to 37% from 26% in FY17.

The management further believes that the revenue contribution of these two

segments may go up to 50% in the next five years supported by sustained

demand for consumer appliances in tier-II and tier-III cities. We model

component and other business would record revenue CAGR of 25% and

15%, respectively, in FY19-21E.

Focus to increase profitability of component business

The component business of Amber grew at 48% CAGR in FY17-19 post

acquisition of ILJIN and Ever Electronics. The company is focused on

increasing the revenue of the component business through addition of new

clients and increasing wallet share of revenue from existing clients. Before

the acquisition by Amber, ILJIN and Ever were largely serving LG. However,

post-acquisition, more companies like Panasonic and IFB were also added

in the customer list of ILJIN and EVER. We believe Amber will leverage its

existing client base to push the sales of components of ILJIN and EVER,

going forward. Further, the company has kept a strong focus on R&D to

develop new technologies and products to increase the customer base. In

this regard, Amber has entered into a joint agreement with Singapore based

Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd to design and develop in-house

manufacturing of printed circuit board (PCB) (the designing part of PCBs is

still at a very nascent stage in India). Besides this, it is constantly focusing

on developing cutting edge solutions to improve operating efficiencies.

The component business has a high entry barrier and takes three to four

years to get final approval from clients and final order of products from the

same clients. Amber is aggressively expanding its customer base for the

component business but has still not achieved desired operating leverage in

the same business. The company’s components business EBITDA margin

increased ~200 bps YoY to 5% in FY19 but is still lower than consolidated

EBITDA margin of ~8% clocked in FY19. We believe strong traction of the

RAC business in India coupled with strong client relation would help drive

Amber’s component business revenue at CAGR of 25% in FY19-21E with an

improvement in EBITDA margin.

Supplier to top eight brands in RAC segment

The company has strong and established relationships with customers,

which includes eight out of top 10 brands in India capturing 75% market

share. Out of these, five are MNC brands while the remaining three are

Indian companies. However, the major contribution to the topline comes

from the top three brands viz. Voltas, LG and Panasonic. Each customer

contributes ~16% to the consolidated topline of Amber. Most of these

customers have been associated with Amber for more than five years.

Further, acquisition of customers in the RAC industry requires persistent and

continued investment of time, effort and capital. Amber has gained the

confidence of customers by initially supplying certain components and then

moving to reliability functional components and eventually to complete

RACs. Hence, its takes three to four years for any new player to acquire

customer in India. In FY19, Amber added new customers in the portfolio,

which includes e-commerce players like Flipkart, Amazon and MNCs brands

Toshiba and Midea.

Besides, Amber also acquired new customers through Sidwal into HVAC

segments, which is Indian Railways and Metro Rail. Sidwal earns ~70% of

its revenue from HVAC works on the coaches of Indian railways and metro

trains.

RAC segment to grow higher than industry trend

Amber has increased its RAC manufacturing capacity by 37% in FY17-19 to

4.8 million units. The capacity addition was on the back of rising demand of

IDUs/ODUs (Indoor units/Outdoor units) from existing customers as well as

addition of new customers during the same period. We believe despite

rising contribution of component and other business, Amber’s RAC

division’s contribution to topline would remain high at almost 65%. Large

scale of production and proximity of manufacturing plants to its clients gives

Amber an edge over its competitors (includes import of RACs) to deliver

required demand within a stipulated time frame. We believe strong demand

for RACs in the domestic market coupled with government intervention to

increase the custom duty on import of complete built units (CBUs) (from

10% to 20%) and compressor (from 7.5% to 10%) would benefit domestic

manufacturers like Amber in the long term. Hence, we believe RAC segment

of Amber would grow at a CAGR of 20% in FY19-21E (against ~18% of

industry growth).

Reduction in working capital days with recovery in sales

Amber’s cash conversion cycle was around 30 days during FY17 and FY18.

The cash conversion cycle saw a sudden jump of ~55 days mainly due to a

sharp increase in debtors and inventory days in FY19. It was largely owing

to bad weather conditions wherein the RAC industry, as a whole, recorded

a volume decline of ~3%. Lower offtake by customers during the bad

weather resulted in high working capital days during FY19. We believe the

working capital days would remain higher for FY20E owing to recent

acquisition of Sidwal that has higher working capital days (of ~180 days).

The management is confident that the working capital cycle would start

improving from FY20 onwards with an improvement in both inventory and

debtor days. We believe a reduction in working capital requirement would

boost the quality of the balance sheet and lower interest outgo, thus aiding

earnings growth, going forward.

Key risks and concerns

High dependence on top 8 customers for substantial portion of

revenues

A majority of the company’s revenue is derived from its top 8 customers.

Amber’s customers often undertake vendor rationalisation to reduce costs

related to procurement from multiple vendors. Since the company is largely

dependent on certain key customers for a significant portion of its sales, the

loss of any key customer or a significant reduction in demand from such

customers could have a material adverse effect on business, financial

condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Seasonality factor may adversely impact performance

Sales of AC and AC components are highly dependent on summer due to

heat, warm weather and are lower during monsoons and winter. Extended

winter (like in FY19) or untimely rains during the peak sales season, may

adversely affect sales volume (of key customers).

Pricing pressure from customers may adversely affect gross

margin, profitability

Customers of the company may seek for price reduction initiatives. Adopting

cost cutting measures while maintaining stringent quality standards or

inability to pass on the higher raw material price may put pressure on

EBITDA margins. As a result, there could be a substantial drop in the

profitability of Amber.

Inability to identify, understand evolving industry trends,

technological advancements may adversely affect business

The RAC and other consumer durables market in India is characterised by

technological advancements, introduction of innovative products, price

fluctuations and intense competition. Changes in consumer preferences,

regulatory or industry requirements may render certain products of Amber

less attractive or obsolete. The company’s competitive strength is in its

ability to adopt high technology (with required regulatory standards) and

develop new products to address unidentified needs among its potential

customers in a timely manner. However, inability to obtain such knowledge

in a timely manner may result in higher capex and can adversely impact the

bottomline and return ratios of the company.

Valuation and outlook

We believe the RAC industry is likely to grow at CAGR of 18% in FY19-21E

backed by rising income, urbanisation and consumer finance in India. Amber

being one of the largest contract manufacturer of RACs in India will be the

biggest beneficiary of rising outsourcing demand from branded players. We

believe the company is likely to record revenue CAGR of ~20% led by both

RAC and component business. We model a slight improvement in EBITDA

margin in FY19-21E supported by strong volume growth and further

reduction in corporate tax rate to result earning CAGR of 38%. On the

balance sheet front, a reduction in working capital coupled with improved

asset turnover would help drive return ratios, going forward. We value the

stock at 16x FY21E (~45% discount to branded RAC players) and ascribe a

Hold rating on the stock with a target price of | 945/share.
