Investment Rationale

DFT Technology : Direct Forming Technology (DFT) is a latest technology pioneered byAPL Apollo Tubes ltd. It is used for making Hollow sections of superior quality and finish.This technology, unlike conventional technologies, can form rectangular and square hollowsections of different sizes and thickness directly, thus translating into huge cost-savings andbetter productivity at both the Customer and Company level.

Acquisition of High margin product :APL Apollo is acquiring stake in Apollo Tricoat Ltd which manufactures Tricoat Tubes. Thisproduct is made through latest galvent technology and it has tri-layer of protectivecoating - paint, zinc and UV organic coating. It is eco friendly product which I widely usedfor electric conduits and appliances and green houses. It is a high margin product and it willhelp APL Apollo to strengthen its position in global steel tubes company.

GST :

With 60% of the market being unorganized, GST hailed as India's biggest and most notabletax reform has opened up new opportunities for APL. The advantage APL could capitalizeupon is the shift of business from unorganized to organized segment. This works well forfurther strengthening its leadership positioning in the Indian Steel Tubes and Pipessegment. APL Apollo has close to 15% market share which could increase going ahead in ouropinion owing to GST.

Risks

Volatility in Steel prices: As the raw material cost (majorly HRC and Zinc) forms 85% oftotal sales, product demand and margins are directly affected due to volatility in steel prices.Increase in prices may affect demand as consumers can alternate their purchases whereassharp decline in steel prices may lead to inventory loss. At times, the company may have tobear cost burden as price hikes could decrease the product demand due to intensecompetition and fragmented nature of industry. Further, RM price volatility could lead topressure on its operating margins and thereby profitability. However, owing to GSTimplementation, the possibility of intense competition from unorganized players coulddrastically reduce thus allowing APL Apollo to enjoy a good relationship with customers.

Borrowings: The company is continuously increasing the borrowings which can be a pointof concern for the investors.

Replacement Market: There is a shift from galvanized pipes to PVC pipes. PVC tubes areincreasingly being used in agriculture, infrastructure, construction, and sewage sectors as areplacement for galvanized pipes. They are less costly and light-weighted. It does notrequire much man-power and is easy to install. This could negatively impact the company'sgrowth prospects.

Capital Allocation : Apl Apollo ltd., through its wholly owned subsidiary Shree Udyod Ltd.is acquiring stake in Rahul Gupta’s (son of Sanjay Gupta - Executive chairman of APL ApolloTubes Ltd.) company which is Apollo Tricoat Tubes Ltd. (earlier called ‘Best Steel Logistics’).

DFT Technology

DFT is the latest global technology for making hollow sections of superior quality which reducesrollover time significantly.DFT would however alleviate the need to do this and help them formsquare and rectangular pipes directly. This would bring along a number of benefits andopportunities:

a) 3-10% Savings on RM: DFT would eliminate the wastage which earlier used to gather at theedges when round pipes were converted into square or rectangular pipes. Savings in the range of3-10% on RM costs are expected on the back of this.

b) Customized/Small orders to drive market share gains: Introduction of DFT would enable APLto produce pipes in smaller batches, as low as 10-20MT against the traditional requirement ofhaving to process 400-550MT before making any changes. Thus, the ability to accept small ordersin customized sizes would enable it to serve a larger part of the market. Besides, customizationwill also allow APL Apollo Tubes to be the first to offer its customers the size which just meetstheir requirement. Testimony to this customization is the introduction of 300x300mmsize in Indiafor the first time in India and being the sole producer of the same. Having received encouragingresponse to customized sizes, the company has already developed 12 new sizes which APL shallleverage upon going forward.

c) Entry into new industries: The management expects to make inroads into new industries suchas Truck & Bus Body, Agricultural Implements, Gym/Sports Equipment, Solar Tracking systems etc.led by the acceptance of the superior quality products as a result of the new technology.

d) Export opportunities: Export markets of Europe, Japan and USA hold strong potential as DFTproducts are well accepted in these advanced economies. The management is betting on DFT tobe a key catalyst in ramping

Conclusion

RecommendationAPL Apollo Tubes Ltd. is having a strong distribution network of 650+ distributors, 40,000retailers and 29 warehouses cum branches. DFT Technology will help the company incost-optimization and also increase the efficiency of the company.

The management is focusing on brand and high margin products but the company is acquiringstake in Apollo Tricoat Tubes ltd. at higher valuation which can be a big concern for thecompany. APL Apollo Tubes Ltd. And Apollo Tricoat Ltd. Is having equity dilution which caneffect minority shareholders. The volatility in steel prices (which forms 85% part of the rawmaterial) can impact the profitability of the company. Also, the company is increasing itsborrowings which again is a concern. People shifting towards PVC pipes from galvanized pipescan be a threat for the industry. GST implementation can be beneficial for the company as thisindustry is highly dominated by unorganized players (60%).

The company is increasing its production capacity and also expanding its Pan-India presencewhich will help the company to reach to its customers. Also, the company is trying to increaseits exports and OEM’S in the coming years.

We are ‘neutral’ on this stock.
