injection moulded plastic products like furniture, material handling equipment,
custom mouldings & OEM supplies for specific customers. It has manufacturing
facilities at seven locations across India with a combined production capacity

situated all across India. It has wide distribution reach with 77 warehouses; 1,400
distributors; 42 branch & regional offices. The company exports its products to
Europe, US, Middle East, Far East countries, African countries and Asia.
Financials
After a lull period of FY09, Nilkamal has managed to bounce back with its FY11 net
sales expanding by 21.5% with PAT growing by 11%. Its plastics business suffered
a set-back in FY11 due to high raw material prices which increased by 20% yoy.
Raw Material cost forms a major portion (66% of net sales). With the recent drop in
crude oil prices, margins are expected to improve in the coming quarters with a lag
effect. Going forward, the management expects 15-20% growth in Moulded
Furniture business and a 15% growth in Material Handling business.
Growth Drivers
• Moulded plastics industry is one of the fastest growing industries, increasingly
substituting other materials like wood and penetrating major sectors like
building and construction, transportation etc. We anticipate that the Company
being a market leader and having national presence will benefit immensely
from the India consumption story.
• Nilkamal is the No.1 player in the moulded furniture business with a 38%
market share and is 2.5-3x bigger than the No.2 player. The moulded furniture
business contributes 38% to the total revenue. Its Material Handling business
has a market share of 70% and is a market leader with size 2.5 x bigger than
its closest competitor. It contributes 32% to the total revenues.
• In 2005, Nilkamal has made a successful foray into furniture retailing business
through its @home retail ventures. It currently operates 17 stores across 11
cities covering an aggregate carpet area of 268,831 sq.ft. It broke even at the
operating level in FY11. The management expects 25% growth in FY12.
• It plans to enter Monolithic construction business where it senses huge
opportunity as usage of plastics instead of metals is expected to reduce the
construction cost by 30%. Nilkamal does not need a capex for this business.
Margins are more than 15%. Sintex, CCC, Man Infra are some of the players.
• We are comfortable with Nilkamal’s Debt:Equity ratio of 0.83x which has
reduced from 1.54x in FY08. With major capex already undertaken in the last
few years and no major capex planned for the ensuing years, we expect
strong cash accruals and improvement in its working capital going forward.
Valuations:
It is currently trading at P/E of 6.8x its FY11 earnings which is lower than its peers
like Time Technoplast and Supreme Industries which cater to mainly institutions
(characterized by higher EBIDTA margins) as against Nilkamal which caters to
mainly retail segment. Its sound financial structure and improving operating
performance (reducing working capital, increasing sales from @home) along with a
dividend paying history makes Nilkamal a good investment bet.
Technicals
Nilkamal has rallied from Rs42 to Rs442 in just eighteen months gaining ten times.
Subsequent ten months of consolidation has given enough leg room for this stock
that too after correcting approximately 50% at Rs240 levels. We opine that this
stock is now poised to regain the lost ground and continue its upward journey.
Rs240 would act as strong support while immediate resistance is at Rs288 and
later Rs300 would be hurdle.
