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.
