Nirmal Bang Report

Key Points

  • In a follow up conference call post Q1 FY24 earnings, CCL Products India Ltd.'s management discussed gross debt and expansion plans in detail.

  • Management highlighted that total debt by the end of FY24 and FY25 should be ~Rs13.5 billion and ~Rs 17.5 billion, respectively. Effective rate of interest is 6.6% (6% for working capital and 7.5% for term debt). A reasonable decrease in green coffee bean prices however could reduce the working capital requirements. ETR for FY24 and FY25 should be ~9% and ~12%, respectively at a consolidated level.

  • Upcoming India spray dried coffee and Vietnam freeze dried coffee capacities are expected to be commissioned from Q1 FY25 and H2 FY25, respectively. Capex for the same would be Rs 8 billion, of which ~Rs 6 billion is expected to be incurred during FY24. CCL Products would also incur capex on upgradation of select machinery and processes.

  • Robusta prices are at multi-decade high, which is creating a drag on balance sheet through elevated working capital requirements. Maintain 'Accumulate'.
