Trent Ltd owns and manages a number of retail chains in India. It primarily operates stores across three

formats: Westside, Star Bazaar and Landmark. A part of Tata Group, Trent was incorporated in 1998 and has

its headquarters in Mumbai.

Total of 95 Westside departmental stores are located in 58 cities offers menswear, women’s wear, kids’ wear,

footwear, cosmetics, perfumes and handbags, household furniture accessories, lingerie, and gifts. The

hypermarket business with Star Bazaar brand name provides staple foods, beverages, health and beauty

products, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, consumer electronics, and household items, at the most affordable

prices. In addition, Trent has also acquired 76% stake in Landmark, one of the largest books and music retail

chains in the country.

Currently stock is trading at 2x EV/Sales of FY19E and going forward we expect stock will trade at 2.3x and

2.6x EV/Sales, which brings the value of the stock at Rs 305 and 350. So we initiate Trent as a BUY at CMP

and add on decline at 235 for the targets of Rs 305 & 350 over the next 3-4 quarters.

INVESTMENT RATIONALE:

Favorable demographics, increasing urbanization, surge in discretionary spending, rising affluence amid

consumers, growing preference for branded products and higher aspirations are other factors which will drive

retail consumption in India.

GST will have a very positive impact going ahead on the retail sector. The implementation of GST would mean

an unhindered integration of goods and services transfer across the states. First of all, the procurement of

goods would become less cumbersome and this will open gates for vendors or suppliers to merge and have a

benefactor relation. The state boundary won’t be a hurdle anymore resulting in a low transportation cost and

better access. The simplified tax credits would mean fewer costs and profitable businesses.

Westside products are known for style and class amongst fashion conscious consumers. In recent years, the

chain has launched and refreshed a number of brands, available exclusively at Westside stores. Talking about

non-apparel businesses, Westside has brand like Footwear for Shoes Business, Studio west for fragrances,

Bath & Cosmetic business and Westside Home for Home Furnishing Industry.

Westside has slightly different business model format compared to peers. It has focused on Private labels and

In-house brand products for batter margins. Apparel contributes 80% of overall Westside revenues while the

overall 90% of the revenue comes from Private labels and In-house brand products. In-house brands offer

higher margins to retailers as they allow them to have complete control across the value chain. This also

enables them to give attractive discount offers to their customers.

Currently, Westside is operating through 95 stores across 58 Cities in India. Now Westside is planning to

accelerate expansion in the coming years by focusing broadly on two formats flagship stores - the prominent

full offer stores and the curated smaller stores in non-metros/ emerging micro-markets.

Average bill cycle of the company has seen 8% CAGR over FY12-16 and Walkins has increased from 20.36 mn

in FY12 to 25.15 mn in FY16 and going forward, we expect the trend to continue which would drive

performance of the company in the coming years.

RISK & CONCERNS:

Regulatory hurdles: Any regulatory change in the FDI policy will affect the growth of Hyper

City of Trent.

Highly price competitive business.

Threat form ever increasing trend of E-Commerce Business.

VIEW & VALUATION:

Favorable Indian Demographics, GST’s Favorable impact on whole Industry, Company’s expansion strategy and

continuously increasing Walkins & Avg. Bill Size puts Trent into sweet spot. Moreover, recent big listing of

DMart (One of the competitor) shows huge potential of the Retail Industry and this has led to re-rating of

Retail Sector. We believe Trent deserves higher multiple as being Tata Group Company, stable financials,

strong balance sheet as well as strong Brand pedigree.

Currently stock is trading at 2x EV/Sales of FY19 and going forward we expect stock will trade at EV/Sales of

2.3x and 2.6x which brings the value of the stock at Rs 305 and 350. Stock trades at ~19x EV/EBITDA and

based upon our target of Rs 350, we have implied ~25x EV/EBITDA on FY19E basis. So we initiate Trent a

strong BUY at CMP of Rs 266 and add on decline of 235 for the targets of Rs 305 & 350 for the period of 3-4

quarters.

BUSINESS BACKGROUND: The story began in 1998 when the Tata’s acquired Littlewoods a London based

retail chain by selling Lakme to Unilever. This acquisition was followed by the establishment of Trent Ltd.

With the headquarters in Mumbai it has presence in over 58 cities of India. Trent is a retail operations

company that owns and manages a number of retail chains in India. It primarily operates stores across three

formats: Westside, Star and Landmark.

Westside departmental stores: The Company has established 95 Westside departmental stores measuring

8000-34000 sq. ft. in floor space across 58 cities. The Westside stores have several departments to meet the

varied shopping needs of customers. These include menswear, women’s wear, kids’ wear, footwear,

cosmetics, perfumes and handbags, household furniture accessories, lingerie, and gifts.

Star Bazaar: Trent ventured into the hypermarket business in 2004 with Star Bazaar, providing an ample

assortment of products made available at the lowest prices. This store offers customers an eclectic array of

products that include staple foods, beverages, health and beauty products, vegetables, fruits, dairy products,

consumer electronics, and household items, at the most affordable prices. Star Bazaar also includes a large

Favorable Indian Demographics

India is a young nation with more than 50% of its population is in the working age group of 15-54 years. This

indicates significant influence wielded by this segment on consumption. The increasing desires to look good &

presentable, influenced by western culture and exposure to e-commerce and social media have boosted the

demand for more fashionable clothing and lifestyle products. Immense scope is seen for banners offering an

innovative product range to meet the aspirations of the brand conscious consumers with evolving

preferences.

Currently, 69% of India’s population lives in rural areas and this population contributes 54% to the total

retail consumption. Rapid urbanization in tier 2 and tier 3 cities is influencing the traction for organized retail

in these cities.

This has resulted in a surge in discretionary spending, which is expected to grow significantly from the

current 60% to ~72% of the overall spending by FY20E.

GST will be Game changer for the Retail Sector

GST will have a very positive impact going ahead on the retail sector. The implementation of GST would

mean an unhindered integration of goods and services transfer across the states. First of all, the

procurement of goods would become less cumbersome and this will open gates for vendors or suppliers to

merge and have a benefactor relation. The state boundary won’t be a hurdle anymore resulting in a low

transportation cost and better access. The simplified tax credits would mean fewer costs and profitable

businesses.

Strong Financials Compared to Peers

Where Majority of the players in the industry have been posting losses or minor profits barring one or two

players, Trent has managed to do turn around (Since 2015) on the back of strong management. Recently

also Trent has appointed Mr. Venu Nair, managing director (MD) of Marks & Spencer Reliance, India, as the

new chief commercial officer. Since FY15, Company has started making profits and proved itself among its

peers.

The revenue of the company in FY16 stood at Rs. 2464 Cr compared to previous Rs. 2381 Cr. While the

EBITDA came in at Rs. 204 Cr with margin of ~9%. However, bottom line dipped 50% on the back of higher

Finance costs. It is to be noted that FY15 included one off gain of Rs 115cr, so adjusted to the same, FY16

profits is up as compared to FY15.

Going further we expect robust growth in the financials of Trent because of its aggressive store addition

strategy, and major focus on in house brands and shift from unorganized to organized segment. We expect

revenue to post 22% CAGR in FY16-19, margin to improve from 8.5% in FY16 to 11% in FY19. This will lead

to a stellar growth in PAT. Consolidated PAT of Trent is expected to reach Rs.239 Cr by FY19E from Rs. 65 Cr

in FY16.

Higher emphasis on small box format stores and improved financials would lead to superior revenue growth

for Trent. We expect return ratios RoE, RoCE to surge sharply from c.4.4% and 8.5% to 13.6%, 18.9%,

respectively in FY19E.

Average bill cycle of the company has seen 8% CAGR over FY12-16 and Walkins has increased from 20.36

mn in FY12 to 25.15 mn in FY16 and going forward, we expect the trend to continue which would drive

performance of the company in the coming years.

Attractive Brand Portfolio

Westside products are known for style and class amongst fashion conscious consumers. In recent years, the

chain has launched and refreshed a number of brands, available exclusively at Westside stores.

Over the years, Westside has been sharpening its focus on fast moving value fashion targeted towards

women. Industry, per se kids wear and women’s wear apparel segment are expected to outperform overall

apparel growth (Technopak Analysis). With the evolving trend of western wear Westside has private label

brands like Wardrobe, Gia, Lov, Sassy and Soda.

India’s ethnic wear is dominated by unorganized players. But now this trend is also changing and People are

choosing branded clothes. So Westside, through its in house brands like Zuba, Bombay Paisley, Westside Mix

and Match & Westside SKD has endeavored to capture this opportunity.

Talking about non-apparel businesses, Westside has brand like Footwear for Shoes Business, Studio west for

fragrances, Bath & Cosmetic business and Westside Home for Home Furnishing Industry.

The below are few of many brand at Trent’s Westside store.

Private labels and In-house brand format Brings in Higher Margin

Westside has slightly different business model format compared to peers. It has focused on Private labels

and In-house brand products for batter margins. Apparel contributes 80% of overall Westside revenues while

the overall 90% of the revenue comes from Private labels and In-house brand products.

In-house brands offer higher margins to retailers as they allow them to have complete control across the

value chain right from designing merchandise, branding, sourcing, logistics, distribution, promotion, display,

fixing price points and retail margins. Where in the Private label brand they can get a pretty good discounts

from the retailers the procure product from. This also enables them to give attractive discount offers to their

customers.

Foot Print Expansion strategy will be a key growth driver for Westside

A team of in-house property experts helps in identifying strategic locations for new stores. They are

supported by a well-defined set of processes for analyzing the potential market and catchment. This

ecosystem of people and processes, helps the company in identifying the right store and making it profitable

in a relatively short span of time.

Currently, Westside is operating through 95 stores in 58 Cities of India. Now Westside is planning to

accelerate expansion in the coming years by focusing broadly on two formats flagship stores- the prominent

full offer stores and the curated smaller stores in non-metros/ emerging micro-markets.

Restructuring of Landmark will bring change

Landmark, which was primarily a music & books retail format, had been undergoing constant restructuring

due to increased threats from the internet, which resulted in a decline in book sales. The music segment was

especially impacted by free digital downloads, which further gained momentum through growth of smart

phones.

The company has taken major steps for the restructuring in Landmark business like significant reduction in

store, change of product mix etc. this will make this business more profitable one.

VIEW & VALUATION:

Favorable Indian Demographics, GST’s Favorable impact on whole Industry, Company’s expansion strategy

and continuously increasing Walk-ins & Avg. Bill size puts Trent into sweet spot. Moreover, recent listing of

DMart (Avenues supermarts) has led to re-rating of Retail Sector. We believe Trent deserves higher multiple

as being Tata Group Company, stable financials, strong balance sheet as well as strong Brand recall.

Currently stock is trading at 2x EV/Sales of FY19 and going forward we expect stock will trade at EV/Sales of

2.3x and 2.6x which brings the value of the stock at Rs 305 and 350. Stock trades at ~19x EV/EBITDA and

based upon our target of Rs 350, we have implied ~25x EV/EBITDA on FY19E basis. So we initiate Trent a

strong BUY at CMP and add on decline of 266 for the targets of Rs 305 & 350 for the period of 3-4 quarters.
