Growth driven by new product launches: V-Guard started its business as a single product company namely stabilizers and has expanded its product portfolio to Cables, Stabilizers, Water Pumps, Solar Water Heaters, Geysers, Digital UPS for computers, Inverters for households and Fans. The company has introduced two new products domestic switch gear and induction cooker in the market. Both these are in the pilot phase. Launch of induction cooker marks VGILs entry in the kitchen appliances segment. A pilot project has been carried out in central Kerala prior to launching the switchgear which includes Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs) before making an entry in domestic switchgear market. Looking at the positive response in central Kerala, VGIL plans to launch the product in North and South Kerala in the coming six months before entering the North Indian market. The company also plans to tap the market through the same kind of channel and using same marketing team. The share of revenues from outsourced goods in FY12 was at INR 5902.42mn vs INR 4371.54mn an increase of about 35.01%. The overall share of manufactured goods and traded goods in FY12 stood at 59% and 41% respectively.

The company has launched induction cookers recently and it turned out to be a very successful pilot launch. It plans to launch this product in South India. VGIL is in talks with vendors to manufacture induction cookers in India. The company is targeting a turnover of INR 1000mn from the kitchen appliances segment in the next four years by adding a few other products such as Mixers, Grinders in this segment. Capacity expansion: VGIL has planned a capex of INR 250mn for fiscal 2013. VGIL is investing about INR 150mn towards doubling of expansion of its house wiring and cable factory at Kashipur plant in Uttaranchal. This plant is running at near full capacity producing 0.27mn coils a month. The company has plans to double this capacity to 0.55mn coils per month to take advantage of excise duty and the incentives which will accrue till 2018. Further, a second solar water heater manufacturing plant is also coming up at Perundurai near Erode; for which INR 30mn will be spent out of capex. And the remaining capex is likely to be spent on incremental expansion, manufacturing facilities, extension of existing factories etc.

Strong distribution network: VGIL has about 230 distributors of whom 100 are in South India, 1200 Channel Partners (large retailers with many outlets) and plans to add more distributors in the markets, apart from South India. VGIL expects each distributor to generate minimum of INR 50mn per year on an average, which will generate revenues of INR 15bn per annum. VGIL has recently opened an office in Guwahati apart from plans to add distributors in the Northeast, West Bengal, and Chhattisgarh. VGIL intends to focus to improve the penetration levels of its products in the Eastern market in fiscal 2013.

Increasing market share: V-Guard Industries, over the past few years, has successfully gained market share in all of its product categories. In Stabilizers, it had a market share of about 12% which has now improved to 16% over three years. And in the wires industry, with size of roughly about INR 65bn the company used to be a very small player about three years back having about 1% market share which has now improved significantly to 4%. In the geyser segment, VGIL has increased its market share to 10% from 3.5%. The company holds number three position in India in solar water heater segment, enjoying roughly 10% market share. In the single phase domestic water pump segment with a market size estimated at about INR 20bn, VGILs market share has improved to 7% from 5% three years back.

Diversified Product Growth: The success of VGIL lies in its diverse product portfolio which is directly related to
the rise in disposable income of the middle class consumer in India. VGILs major chunk of revenues in FY12 was generated through cables and stabilizer contributing 30% and 20% respectively. Both the products grew by 36% and 20% YoY. Further, LT Cables, Digital UPS and Fans individually registered growth of 39%, 236% and 20% respectively in FY12. During FY12 other products such as Pumps, Water Heaters and Solar Water Heater reported expansion in its sales by 25%, 44% and 21% respectively.

Expanding Pan India to de-risk business: VGILs sales are currently predominantly from the southern region led by its strong brand name as well as its distribution network. It had been primarily focusing on these markets and has built a wide product portfolio. Moreover, over the past few years it has widened its distribution network to pan-India. The company ventured into Maharashtra, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat in FY10, with an objective to focus on pan-India presence. Going ahead the company wants to expand its presence in Bihar and the north-eastern states. This strategy, although margin dilutive in the initial years would enable VGIL to become a formidable player in all its product categories in a few years from now. Growing distribution network aid growth: Currently, VGILs products are sold through 230 exclusive distributors, 1200 Channel Partners and 11,000 dealers with 52% of sales concentrated in four southern Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Its network is also spread across all states in India except North East and Jammu & Kashmir. The company has a diversified client base which differs from product to product and includes

direct marketing agents, distributors and retailers. VGIL is offering a cash discount to dealers who provide cash immediately and is also talking to banks for channel financing for distributors .This should ease its working capital position going forward. Higher Advertisement spending boost brand perception and visibility across India: During FY12, the company incurred INR 924.59 mn as selling and distribution expenses, out of which the advertisement expenses stood at INR 380 million for FY12. Higher spending on marketing, promotion and branding will enable the company to compete against its established peers in the organized segment and help improve brand perception on a national scale. Outsourcing model provides flexibility and aids growth: VGIL operates a unique business model which is a mix of manufacturing and outsourcing for its product portfolio. It manufactures products such as cables and solar water heater, whereas it outsources the manufacturing of stabilizers, pumps, electric water heater, Fans, UPS and Digital UPS from around 69 organizations, with whom the company has a tie-up. Given the short lifecycle of a consumer electronic product, its design capabilities along with outsourcing operations has helped to rationalize its capex requirement and simultaneously branch out into new product lines. The share of revenues from manufactured goods in FY12 was at INR 4094.71mn vs INR 2972.92mn in FY11 an increase of about 37.73%. The share of revenues from traded goods in FY12 was at INR 5902.42mn vs INR 4371.54mn an increase of about 35.01%. The overall share of manufactured goods and traded goods in FY12 stood at 59% and 41% respectively. VGIL is looking at launching 2 new product categories in the form of mixers & grinders in consumer appliances space which will drive growth in the next 4 years All new products are developed at its R&D centre and then given to vendors for manufacturing. This arrangement also helps in keeping the costs under control as it saves on overheads and can have the vendors near the market, which saves on transportation cost. Moreover, since the product portfolio of the company demands intense market penetration through proper branding, promoting and strong network channel, VGIL can focus on new product development, branding and distribution rather than manufacturing all products in house.

Industry Overview:

Stabilizers:
A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. It may use an electromechanical mechanism, or passive or active electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be used to regulate one or more AC or DC voltages. At many industrial automation processes, measurement and control installations and also at network PCs it is necessary to supply different types of electrical devices with stabilized AC voltage. It is very important that the stabilized AC voltage is not dependent on external variations such as: supply voltage, frequency and load. The poor voltage conditions has made it imperative for every house hold to use a stabilizer for Refrigerators and Air Conditioners The stabilizer market in India is around INR.20bn with the organized segment size being pegged at around INR 10bn. The company has about 35 models with different capacities varying from 100 VA to 5 KVA. The company enjoys a 16% market share in the stabilizer segment. Sales from the segment in FY12 was INR.2009mn contributing 20% to the companys revenues. The key competitors are Keeline, Bluebird, Premier and Logicstat.

Cables
Cables are one of the basic inputs therefore they are very critical for the entire industrial sector. Cables can be broadly classified into domestic PVC Cables and LT Cables . The construction and infrastructure sector is one of the major end markets for the domestic cable segment. LT Cables are used for low voltage transmission of electricity and are used for last mile connectivity from the step down transformer onwards.The telecom and industrial sector are the user industry for power cables in India. Whether made of Copper, Aluminium or other non-ferrous materials - cables and wires play decisive role in our daily lives and in almost every industry. Cables are used by Power, Steel, Cement, Refineries, Petro-Chemicals, Fertilizers and Communication Sector as well as Railways including Metro Rail. The Indian cable industry is highly fragmented with large number of cable producers. Many of these companies are Small-scale cable producers, the smallest of which are family-run operations which use the most basic production equipments. There has been very limited consolidation amongst the major players in the industry. The tendency of Cable companies to grow organically, rather than by acquisition of competitors, means that no dominant groups have emerged in the industry.

Domestic, Industrial wiring Cable:

The Indian PVC cable market is estimated to be around INR 73.5bn. The market for this segment is growing at around 10% - 15%. The industry is highly fragmented with large number of cable producers. The organized players have a market share of about 75%-80% with top ten players having a share of around 45%. The sales from this segment in FY12 was around INR 2825mn contributing around 28% of total turnover. The key competitors in this segment are Finolex Cables, Havells, KEI and Polycab.

The key competitors in the pump industry are CRI Pumps, Kirloskar, Crompton Greaves, Havells and Texmaco.

Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)

Electronic equipment, medical equipment and computers often require highly reliable power supply. Also the supply should be without fluctuations. In India, the electric power projections depict a shortfall in power generation. The quality of power is also not as desired. Therefore, a suitable power conditioning system is needed to buffer the equipment from electric utility supply variations and fluctuations . In major metro cities the power cuts are for about an hour and in Tier II, III cities, smaller towns & villages the power cuts extend up to 8 hours a day which necessitates the need to own a UPS. Further, the power that is made available is of very poor quality with low voltage which drives demand for UPS.

There are two types of UPS - on line UPS and offline UPS. Online UPS systems are the UPS which is in operation constantly. It also compensates power discrepancies, if any and provides a pure sine wave AC supply. Offline UPS on the other hand are normally on standby status and are manually or automatically switched on. The mains are fed directly to the load through a transfer switch. UPS can be classified into two segments; those systems with power output greater than 1 KVA and those with less than 1 KVA. The former finds applications in small offices, hospitals, defense, process industry, telephone exchanges, remote microwave relays and so on, while the latter largely caters to single PC use.

The UPS market in India is having a market size of around INR 40bn .VGIL entered this market in FY1998 and have got around 13 different models. The sales from this segment in FY12 was about INR 420mn. The key competitors in this segment are Numeric,Su-kam, APC and Emerson.

Inverter:

Tubular batteries are also available with 12 V 100 AH capacity. The sales from Inverter segment in FY2012 was around INR 730mn contributing about 7% of total sales. The major competitors in this segment are Crompton Greaves, Usha, Numeric, Microtec, Sukam, Mahindra Powerol, Xenon and Luminous.

Electric Fans
According to NCAER, Electric fan, which is an item of necessity and mass consumption, is the second 'most wanted' consumer durable in rural India after bicycle. It features in the high-market penetration product category and is very high in terms of purchase priority amongst entry level / basic necessity category durable. Being a tropical country the electric fan is an essential item for the lower to middle class people of the country. But due to involvement of lesser technological input and low entry barrier the market is equally divided among the organized and unorganized players The increase of input prices like copper and alloy steel along with stiff competition from the SSI manufacturers (who are exempt from excise duty), the manufacturers are currently facing severe margin pressure. With Boom in housing construction, increasing industrial activity, rising disposable incomes, the demands for fans remain healthy. The market size of the fan segment is around INR.50bn out of which ceiling fan has the largest share with 65% market, Table, Pedestal and Wall fans with 30% market and Exhaust and Ventilating fans occupy the remaining 5%.

Concerns:
Steep increase in raw material cost: Copper is the key raw material for VGIL. Any steep increase in copper prices and inability to pass on the same to customers will impact the companys revenues and profitability. Unorganized sector penetration: In most of the segments where VGIL has presence there is penetration by unorganized players which affects the organized players in the industry. In the case of any downtrend in the economy the share of unorganized players will increase which will impact organized players like VGIL.

Slowdown in the economy: Though India has a strong consumption trend which attracts capital to these sectors, any slowdown in the economy will result in lower consumer spending which will impact companies in that segment.
