I. Kirloskar Brothers – A dominant pump manufacturer in India Global pumps market – growth muted due to Oil & Gas slump

The global pumps market has grown at a CAGR of 4% over 2006-15 from $33bn to $47bn, with a large part

of growth coming from China, India and the CIS countries. Growth has been lower due to the sharp fall in

crude oil prices, as the Oil & Gas sector contributes ~10% to the global pumps market.

According to the European Industrial Foundation (EIF), the pumps market is expected to grow by 3.5%

during 2015-20. Ggrowth would be driven by investments in Irrigation, Water & Water Resource Projects,

Sewage and Power Capacity additions in developing countries. The developed countries are expected to

spend on Municipal Water, Nuclear Power, Fire & HVAC Packages and Commercial Establishments.

Indian pumps market – Growing at a faster pace; Organised players consolidating position

EIF as well as the Indian Pump Manufacturers Assocation (IPMA) estimate that the organised pump market

in India in 2016 was valued at around INR 11,178 cr and is expected to reach approximately INR 14,255 cr in

2020E, growing at a CAGR of 6.3%. The organised pumps market in India is represented by over 300 players,

with the top 10 accounting for 45% of the overall pie. Over and above the organized market, the value of

the unorganized market (more than 600 players) and imports is ~INR 9,000 cr. Over the period FY09-16,

share of organised market has grown from 35% to 55% respectively.

KBL - Consolidating leadership position in domestic pumps market KBL, the largest pumps manufacturer in India, has expanded its Products market share from 9% in FY10 to

14% in FY16 in the domestic organized products market. The company is also transforming its model from

Projects-centric one (57% of revenue in FY09) to a Products-centric company (75% of revenue in FY16) in the

domestic market. In the international market, KBL has grown inorganically in different geographies as a

Products player, specializing in Engineered Pumps and Services.

KBL Organization Structure

*- Revenue numbers are on gross levels (before inter-segmental)

During FY10-16, KBL’s consolidated revenue remained flat, with a CAGR of only 0.7%, with growth impacted

by overall economic slowdown and delay in large projects. However, the composition of revenue has

changed during FY10-16, wherein the international business has grown from INR 459 cr in FY10 (16% of

revenue) to INR 873 cr in FY16 (31% of revenue). During FY10-16, the company’s net profit slumped from a

high of INR 146 cr in FY10 to a loss of INR 7 cr in FY16, as projects faced execution issues with huge cost

over-runs and lower oil prices post FY15 led to the curtailment of the global Oil & Gas related capex.

II. KBL transforming from Projects driven to Products driven in domestic market KBL is rebuilding the Products business

During FY05-09, KBL had aggressively acquired projects in Irrigation and Water Supply, diversifying away

from its core business, reaching a peak order book of ~INR 3,000 cr in FY09. Economic slowdown post 2008

and political instability in Andhra Pradesh after the demise of erstwhile Chief Minister Mr xyz put the

company’s entire irrigation project portfolio at risk. Some of the projects from Andhra Pradesh never took

off while most of them faced inordinate delays due to lack of leadership, exacerbated by the formation of

the new state of Telangana.

Post FY09, KBL has realigned its focus on scaling up the Products business (which is inherently a high-margin

business), with its market share expanding from 7-8% in FY09 to 14% in FY16. The Products business’ share

in standalone revenue increased from 43% in FY09 to 76% in FY16 through sustained investments in

capacities, strong R&D capabilities, large distribution network and brand building.

Current order book and order inflow - conscious shift from Projects to Products visible

Domestic order booking has been going from strength to strength; from INR 1,485 cr in FY13, the company

booked orders worth INR 1,925 cr in FY16. The Products portfolio accounts for as much as 80% of orders

booked while the Projects orders also contain limited scope of civil work and a higher proportion of orders

for pumps.

Despite industrial slowdown, the Products segment’s order book has been in the range of INR 300 – 400 cr

per year over the last few years. Order book in the Projects business in FY16 was INR 1,140 cr, a significant

drop from INR 2,773 cr in FY11. Around 70% of the current projects order book is from pre-2009 era, when

KBL had completed a good part of civil work, and hence it is unlikely to hurt margins materially. Current

executable orders of INR 1100 cr are likely to have product content of over 40%. With slower additions to

the order backlog, the contribution of the Projects business should fall to 10-12% in the next 3-4 years.

Products business order book steadily improving Projects business order book scaling down

Source:Company data, Edel Invest Research.

Out of the total order backlog, KBL has kept few orders where work has not yet started (INR 324 cr) and

where clients have asked it to stop work (INR 234 cr). The company has spent negligible amount for the

latter two categories, which even if not started, doesn’t affect the company’s balance sheet in an adverse

manner.

Domestic pumps industry at the cusp of recovery and KBL will be a major benefeciary

a) Agriculture: EESL driven demand could be a game changer for the industry

Agriculture accounts for 18% of India’s total electricity consumption, as majority pumps installed on farms

are highly inefficient (working at 20% efficiency). With the Government giving priority to higher efficiencies

and cost savings, EESL has outlined plans to replace all the 2 crore pumps installed on the Indian farms with

a total investment of INR 70,952 cr.

b) Building services & drinking water resources/treatment, urbanisation and pollution control to drive

pumps demand

The Government has envisaged a capital expenditure of INR 80,000 cr during FY16-20E to bring 16.7 million

hectares under irrigation, including canal and drip irrigation. This may alone create INR 10,000 cr

opportunity for the pumps industtry. Our estimates suggest that the untapped long-term irrigation potential

in top 8 states stands at 90.4 mn hectares, requiring an investment of INR 54 Lakh cr, leading to INR 54,000

cr opportunity for the industry.

The status of water treatment in India also remains critical, as 80% of the country’s surface water is polluted.

Domestic sewage, which is discharged untreated into local water bodies, is the cause for 75% of water

pollution.

c) Industrial Sector – Initial signs of recovery visilble in few secotrs

Currently, the Industrial sector, including Power and Oil & Gas, is not in an expansion mode. However, there

are few industries which are spending on Greenfield capacities, viz Sugar, Chemical, Paper and Pharma,

opening up incremental opportunities for the pumps sector.

Strong focus on product business is expected to drive margin performance in domestic business

During the previous capex cycle of FY02-08, KBL was predominantly a products company, having EBIDTA

margin of 8-13%, with peak margins of 13.3% in FY06. Aggressive addition in the Projects business impacted

the margin performance of the company. During FY11-16, the company wrote off debt of INR 205 cr,

appointed consulting companies for restructuring (~INR 18 cr) and invested ~INR 40 cr in integrating all the

facilities with planning, procurement and sales functions through robust IT systems.

As the company made sustained efforts to increase the contribution of its Products business, raw material

cost has gradually reduced from 70.9% in FY10 (Products business at 51% of sales) to 59.4% in FY16

(Products business accounting for 76% of revenues). Taking into consideration the higher contribution of the

Products business, lower provisioning and zero one-time restructuring expenses, EBIDTA margins are

expected to be trending closer to 10% in the near future.

III. International business – Diversifying exposure and focus on increasing profitability Kirloskar Brothers International BV, which is a holding company for KBL’s international businesses, grew at a

CAGR of 16.3% during FY10-15 to INR 975 cr on the back of entry into newer markets, growth in core

business and inorganic growth through acquisitions in different geographies. But, due to a sharp fall in crude

prices, the company’s international business got affected, as 30% of the company’s revenue was coming

from the Oil & Gas sector. The international business is a reasonably profitable business, with ~10%

operating margins. But, as KBL has been making acquisitions of sick companies, the losses from these

acquired companies have been pulling down the overall margins.

Under the leadership of Mr. Alok Kirloskar, KBL is diversifying the international business into different

industries (Onshore Exploration, Desalination and Downstream Petrochemicals) and varied geographies

(USA, South Africa, South-East Asia). KBL is also looking to expand its Spares & Services business in the

international market to derive higher profitability and annuity income.

IV. Stress on BS expected to ease as projects move to closure stage Despite the Projects business dragging down profitability and stretching the execution cycle, KBL has

managed to limit stress on the net working capital and has reduced debt-to-equity (D/E) below 0.3x. The

existing debt of INR 255 cr on a standalone basis is entirely related to the Projects business and is expected

to gradually reduce to zero, as the Projects business’ contribution falls in the overall revenue.

In the past 4-5 years, project execution has also picked up pace, with a few even achieving 100%

completion. Increase in retention money (current level of INR 400 cr) as a proportion of total debtors and

other current assets from the lows of 27% in FY12 to the current levels of ~57% (H1FY17) is an indicator of

traction in execution, with the possibility of recovering the entire retention money of INR 400 cr in the next

3-4 years.

With strong growth in Products business, the working capital cycle will improve significantly, while

execution of stuck projects will free up further capital, thereby reducing the stress on the company’s

balance sheet materially.

Standalone D/E and NWC remain in control High retention with Govt – Hoping to recover in 3-4 years

Source: Edel Invest Research.

Despite the Projects business being a drag on KBL’s working capital, it has managed to maintain the NWC

cycle (Debtors + Inventory + Retention – Payables) at a respectable level of 94 days. Leaner operations and

decision to work on orders with favourable payment terms have resulted in a tight control over investments

in working capital. Being the largest player in the pumps market, KBL has been able to get favourable terms

when it comes to payment to suppliers.

Peer comparison on NWC – KBL fares better than most
