3. Key Concerns / Risks
i) The company’s customers are large and price setters and may have limited pricing power in times of high cost pressures. This may result in shrinking margins which can adversely affect the bottomline of the company.
ii) The Company being a manufacturer of the packaging material required for cigarette and liquor is always exposed to the general risks such as government regulations and policies, statutory compliances, economy related, market related.
iii) New projects at Haridwar and Goa and increase in customer demand simultaneously leads to pressure on the profit margins as the Company has to face competition from various manufacturers in the domestic market.
4. Saral Gyan Recommendation (31st Jan'13)
i) Packaging industry in India is one of the fastest growing Industries, which has its influence on all industries directly or indirectly. The Indian packaging industry is above $ 20 billion with a growth rate of above 15% per annum which is expected to increase further and offers great business opportunity for TCPL Packaging Ltd.
ii) Packaging of essential products like food, beverage and pharmaceuticals are the key driving segments because of the huge domestic consumption. India is ranked 15th in the world for its paper and paperboard consumption and is expected to improve its rank in the future. In India, per capita paper consumption is still only 10 kg as compared to 42 kg in China and world average of 57 kg.
iii) Growth in use of packaged goods as life style changes (urbanization) and manufacturing off-shoring from developed countries increase need for packaging Materials. Other factors affecting growth of packaging industry in India are urbanisation, increasing health consciousness, changing food habits, global trends for plastic substitution in many end use applications and cost advantage.
iv) Company’s debt to equity is high and interest coverage ratio is also low. This combination is generally not a good signal and doesn’t warrant a value investment. But we expect higher interest coverage ratio and lower debt over next 1/2 years which will strengthen balance sheet and support higher valuations for the stock.
v) Considering recent expansion and growth opportunities in the industry, we expect TCPL to deliver bottom line of 141 million for FY’12–13 and 216 million for FY’13–14 with estimated annualized EPS of Rs. 16.2 & 24.9 respectively. Company has paid consistent dividend year after year and dividend yield at CMP is 2.7%.
vi) On equity of Rs. 87 million, the estimated annualized EPS for FY 12-13 works out to Rs. 16.20. Book value per share is Rs. 87.43 and stock price to book value is 0.86. At current market price of Rs. 74.85, share is trading at a P/E of 4.6X on FY 12–13 and 3.0X on FY 13–14 which makes stock valuations attractive with a medium to long term view of 18-24 months.
Considering attractive valuations and long term growth potential, Saral Gyan Team recommends “BUY” on TCPL Packaging Ltd for a target of Rs. 160 over a period of 18-24 months.
Buying Strategy:
70% at current market price of Rs. 74.85
