INTRODUCTION TO THE CASE

Past performance of the company

Financials of PMF

Projected EPS for FY16 at Rs 5.04 is up by 44.4% over FY15, thus signaling good growth. Note

FY16P data is a simple extrapolation of data available for the first three quarters of
FY16.

The operating margin has increased from 5.3% (2011) to 10.1 %( 2015) and 11.77% (9m FY16).

The profit margin also rose from 0.10 %( 2011) to 2.04 %( 2015) and 2.59% (9m
FY16). The margins are likely to improve due to falling interest rates and debt repayment.

PMF has been able to generate Free Cash Flow in 2015 and 2016. The FY16 projected

cash flows do not seem to be promising.

PMF’s revenue, EBITDA and PAT has grown 21.6%, 20.8% and 24.8 % CAGR over the
last 3- 4 years.or 9 months of FY16 the EPS stands at Rs 3.78, whereas it was Rs 3.49in
FY15. Thus the Past performance of the company and current performance is bullish

Benchmarking

• They benchmark the Parag Milk Foods financials against dairy peers, and foods
companies.

• The PE and P/B of PMF appears to be in line with the peers. The firm has not left
enough on the table for investors. See Exhibit 9.

• Growth rates are again average, neither poor nor high. The IPO will lower debt
levels here.

• Margins are low, but in line with dairy sector peers.

• Overall we feel that there is ample room to grow in this sector, and an acceleration
in revenues over the years can allow PMF to ramp up margins and ROE

25
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe that the following are our principal strengths:

Well Established Brands Targeting a Range of Consumer Groups


We believe that a strong and recognizable brand is a key attribute in our industry, which increases
customer confidence and influences a purchase decision. We sell our products under our ‘Gowardhan’,
‘Go’, ‘Pride of Cows’ and ‘Topp Up’ brands, which we believe are well recognized brands and have
been developed to cater to various sections of the market for dairy based food and beverage products.
Our ‘Gowardhan’ brand was ranked among the top 25 most trusted brands in the food products category
by The Economic Times in 2014. We sell fresh milk, ghee, butter, cheese, curd, milk powder, paneer and
gulab jamun mix under our ‘Gowardhan’ brand, which is targeted at consumer consumption at home.

Integrated Business Model


We have an integrated business model that encompasses the entire value chain of the dairy based food
and beverages business and includes a range of activities including manufacturing and processing to
branding and distributing a wide variety of products. We have well established relationships, developed
over several years, with farmers in the proximity of our facilities, and our continuous engagement with
them enables us to consistently procure raw milk and at competitive prices. We procure milk from milk
farmers and through chilling centres and bulk coolers located close to our facilities at Manchar and
Palamaner. We believe that we have a strong procurement base with a presence in 29 districts across the
states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Diversified Product Portfolio and Customer Base


Over the years we have diversified our product portfolio, which consists a range of products including
fresh, premium fresh and UHT milk, ghee, cheese, milk powders, whey proteins, dairy based beverages,
curd, paneer, shrikhand, fruit yoghurts and fresh cream. We believe that we have pioneered several new
products and some manufacturing and development processes in the dairy industry in India. Our cheese
plant at Manchar has the largest production capacity for raw cheese in India (Source: IMARC Report),
where we currently manufacture 48 67 stock keeping units of cheese. We have recently introduced dairy

26
based products, which focus on consumer health and nutrition.

Growing Pan-India Distribution Network


In order to cater to our retail and institutional customers, we have established a pan-India distribution
network which comprised 14 depots, 103 super stockists and over 3,000 distributors as of June 30, 2015.
Our depots are present in 13 states and union territories in India and assist us in supplying our products to
a wide network of retail stores. To sell products to our end consumers, we use modern trade channels,
which comprise supermarkets and hyper-markets and general trade channels that include smaller retail
stores.

Established Track Record of Growth and Financial Performance


Over the years, we have established a strong track record of growth and financial performance. Our total
revenues grew at a CAGR of 21.6% from ` 6,596.78 million for the financial year 2011 to ` 14,420.47
million for the financial year 2015. Our net profit after tax grew at a CAGR of 161.8% from ` 6.27
million for the financial year 2011 to ` 294.72 million for the financial year 2015. The volume of milk
procured by us increased at a CAGR of 11.47% from 0.68 million litres per day for the financial year
2011 to 1.05 million litres per day for the financial year 2015. Further, we have invested significant
resources over the last few years to install additional plant and machinery and other technological
infrastructure at our facilities, including for our UHT, cheese and whey products and we expect to derive
benefits from these investments in the near future.

Our Strategies
The primary elements of our business strategy are as follows:

Grow Our Product Reach


While we currently have a structured pan-India distribution network to cater to our retail and institutional
customers, we constantly seek to grow our product reach to under-penetrated geographies. We intend to
appoint additional distributors and super stockiest to increase the availability of our products in smaller
towns in India and introduce new low unit price products in Tier 3 cities and rural areas. As part of our
sales strategy, we continue to evaluate potential sales growth drivers for specific products and regularly
identify specific states and regions in India to focus our sales efforts and increase our sales volumes.
27
Prior to expanding to new geographies or launching new products, we research and examine the market
and demographic characteristic of the region to determine the suitability of our products in that market.
Further, we seek to increase the penetration of our products in markets in which we are currently present
and widen the portfolio of our products available in those markets. We intend to achieve this by
appointing new distributors targeted at different consumer groups and increase our sales force. We
currently have 14 depots located across the country and we propose to establish seven more depots
during the financial year 2016, of which two depots would be located in northern India, two in southern
India, two in western India and one in eastern India. We believe that increasing the number of our depots
will enable retailers to source a greater number and a wider range of our products more efficiently.

Increase Our Milk Procurement


We require raw milk from cows for all our manufacturing operations, which we procure from milk
farmers and through chilling centres and bulk coolers, in the vicinity of our manufacturing facilities and
the production volumes of our products are dependent upon the amount and quality of raw milk that we
are able to procure. We currently procure milk from 29 districts across the states of Maharashtra, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We believe that maintaining good relationships with milk farmers
and other milk vendors is essential to increasing our milk procurement. We seek to strengthen our
existing relationships with milk farmers and vendors, and cultivate new relationships through various
methods including milk quality and quantity based incentives, providing farmers with cattle feed and
seeds, assisting with veterinary health-care, vaccinations, artificial insemination and facilitating loans to
purchase cattle. Further, we propose to increase our milk procurement by setting up new collection
centres for both our manufacturing facilities and access new districts to procure cows’ milk. We also
propose to purchase new 75 bulk milk coolers and 100 automated milk collection systems and install
them at villages in the vicinity of our facilities and establish new village level milk collection centres in
under-penetrated areas, thereby further increasing our milk procurement base.

Continue to Focus on Strengthening Our Brands


We believe that our brands are one of our key strengths and that our customers, distributors, stockiest and
members of the financial community associate our brands with trusted and superior quality products. We
undertake extensive consumer and market research to gauge the various aspects of a product and plan our
marketing campaigns. On the basis of our product and market based research studies, which we conduct
on an ongoing basis, we intend to continue to enhance the brand recall of our products through strategic

28
branding initiatives, including through the use of social media and consumer engagement programs. We
use various media channels to promote our brands including placing advertisements and commercials on
television, newspapers, hoardings and on digital media. We also extensively promote our brands at stores
and supermarkets through in-shop activities and engage in consumer activities such as cooking
competitions and school contact programs. The aggregate of our advertising and marketing expenses and
sales promotion expenses were ` 247.54 million and ` 128.96 million, or 1.7% and 1.2% of our total
revenues for the financial years 2015 and 2014, respectively, and we intend to increase this proportion in
the future. Our marketing team develops strategies to promote each of our products and we currently
propose to focus on promoting our ghee, paneer and fresh milk under the ‘Gowardhan’ brand and our
UHT milk and cheese products under our ‘Go’ brand. As of August 31, 2015, our marketing team
comprises 520 personnel, or 33.1%, of our total workforce.

Increase Our Value-added Products Portfolio and Focus on Health and Nutrition
We constantly focus on research and development to distinguish ourselves from our competitors to
enable us to introduce new products based on consumer preferences and demand. We propose to set up a
research and development centre at our Manchar facility to develop new products and processes and a
technology centre at 50 our Subsidiary for training and development activities and focus on animal
husbandry. We intend to increase the share of our value-added product portfolio by focusing on health
and nutrition to cater to evolving consumer trends. We recently launched flavored milk with higher
protein content under our ‘Topp Up’ brand and buttermilk under our ‘Go’ brand with a few variants
each. We have also introduced milk variants on the basis of specific end-use and introduced our T-Star
milk to be used to make tea and coffee and introduced Go Kidz milk with high protein content for
growing children. We now intend to increase our dairy based beverages portfolio under our ‘Go’ brand
and introduce milk based high protein drinks.
Increase Operational Efficiencies
We intend to continue to increase our operational efficiencies to strengthen our competitive position. We
believe that we have adopted best practices in line with international standards across our production
facilities, drawing on our management’s expertise and experience in facility management. We will
continue to leverage our in-house technological and research and development capabilities to effectively
manage our operations, maintain strict operational controls and enhance customer service levels. As part
of our environmental, health safety and energy management certifications, we have identified major
focus areas of reducing energy and water consumption per litre of milk processed, reducing milk and

29
solid wastage and decreasing emission levels. We have invested significant resources and intend to
further invest in our in-house technology capabilities to develop customized systems and processes such
as express feeder line for electricity at both our facilities, cogeneration turbines for captive power
generation, usage of zero-discharge effluent treatment facility equipment for minimal water usage and
waste management and automation of processes to achieve higher efficiencies.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Parag Industry, being an integrated dairy player with focus on value-added dairy products (65-70% of
overall portfolio), is in a unique position to reap dual benefits of a dairy company coupled with a FMCG
play in the long run .

The company has moved up the value chain in terms of product portfolio, which is likely to improve
gross margin. Already Parag has one of the highest grosss margins in the industry. Given the strong
structural tailwinds, coupled with explemary focus on branding, communication and reach along with a
bouquet of innovative products, Parag is lilkey to trade at premium valuations akin to FMCG players.
Hence, we assign PER of 31x to FY19E EPS of Rs 9.6 to arrive at our price target of Rs 300.

30
CONCLUSION
I have studied and analyzed the dairy based food product market of Parag dairy Products

on different aspects of the markets, outlets, distribution and consumers. The survey was

conducted in various areas of Surat city with great enthusiasm. This project report

concludes that Amul and Parag Dairy are easily available in various part of Surat. The

Parag distribution channel of the Amul is much strong because they own outlet in Surat

city.

According to the consumer perception and data collection it is found that the Amul is

strongest competitor, and also majority people are satisfied with the quality and taste of

Parag milk products.
