Outlook strong; raising earnings/TP – maintain BUY
We raise our FY16/FY17 earnings for BRIT by ~13%/14% on expectations of
continued benefits flowing in from mix improvements, cost synergies and a
muted RM inflation outlook. We built in a 350bps margin expansion over
FY14-FY17, leading to a strong EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 29% over this period.
An increase in A&P spends in H2FY15/FY16 should lead to market share
gains, while margins could surprise on lower RM costs. We roll over to a
Mar’16 TP of Rs 2,200 (from Rs 1,800 earlier) and maintain BUY on the stock.

 Topline growth at 14.6% CAGR: We expect BRIT to report a 14.6% revenue CAGR
over FY14-FY17 with volume growth likely to average at ~7-8%. We expect the
company to continue benefiting from the premiumisation of its portfolio, with
premium-end offerings likely to see a higher growth rate (20% YoY) than the lower
end segment. Despite a benign input cost scenario (flattish RM cost Index YoY), the
company is likely to take 2-3% price hikes each year as competitive intensity in the
sector has remained muted.

 Margins to expand 350bps over FY14-FY17: We expect BRIT to report a 29%
EBITDA CAGR over FY14-FY17 as margins likely improve from ~8% in FY14 to ~11.5%
in FY17. A richer product mix coupled with a benign input cost scenario would shore
up gross margins by 300bps over FY14-FY17, while the company also benefits from
operating leverage due to cost rationalisation measures. BRIT is also likely to
increase A&P spends from 8.3% in FY15 to 8.9% in FY17 as it tries to gain back
market share from competitors. We expect a 29% PAT CAGR over FY14-FY17 on the
back of strong margins.
INR 1,995.75
 Upgrading earnings; TP revised to Rs 2,200: We raise our FY16/FY17 earnings for
BRIT by ~13%/14% on expectations of strong margins due to premiumisation
benefits, benign input costs and operating leverage. We roll over to a Mar’16 TP of
Rs 2,200 (from a Dec’15 TP of Rs 1,800). Maintain BUY.
