Blue Star Limited Investor Update with Opening remarks Q2FY21

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is Neeraj Basur. I will be providing you an overview of the results for Blue Star Limited for the quarter ended September 2020.

I. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q2FY21

After a challenging first quarter, Q2FY21 witnessed a revival in business activities with unlocks, easing of restrictions and consequent improvement in the consumer sentiment. We continued to focus on providing uninterrupted services to our customers. In addition, we launched a new range of products embedded with 'Virus Deactivation Technology' as part of our endeavor to fight the Pandemic through a contemporary range of product options for our customers. The business recovery trajectory continued to be encouraging in Q2 across most categories. However, on a year-to-date basis, the business scale continued to remain below pre-Covid levels and thus the financial results for H1FY21 are not comparable with H1FY20.

Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 on a consolidated basis, are summarized below:

  • Revenue from operations for Q2FY21 was Rs 902.12 cr as compared to Rs 1249.47 cr in Q2FY20, a recovery of 72.2%.
  • EBIDTA (excluding other income and finance income) for Q2FY21 was Rs 55.08 cr as compared to Rs 73.58 cr in Q2FY20. The robust recovery of 74.9% in our EBITDA in Q2FY21 is reflective of the business recovery along with prudent and swift cost containment measures undertaken by us.
  • PBT before exceptional items was Rs 22.46 cr in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 55.75 cr in Q2FY20, a recovery of 40.3%
  • Tax expense for Q2FY21 was Rs 7.42 cr as compared to Rs 16.88 cr in Q2FY20.
  • Net profit for Q2FY21 was Rs 15.32 cr as compared to Rs 37.94 cr in Q2FY20, a recovery of 40.4%.
  • Carried-forward order book increased marginally to Rs 3019.57 cr as on September 30, 2020 as compared to Rs 2934.52 cr as on September 30, 2019.
  • Capital Employed increased marginally by 6% to Rs 1124.27 cr as on September 30, 2020 from Rs 1063.49 cr as on September 30, 2019 as an outcome of robust working capital optimization measures implemented by us in the last six months.
  • Net borrowings increased to Rs 344.06 cr as on September 30, 2020 (Debt Equity ratio of 0.44) as compared to a net borrowing of Rs 188.97 cr as on September 30, 2019 (debt-equity ratio of 0.22). Net borrowings have reduced by Rs 84.47 cr in Q2FY21 as compared to June 30, 2020 levels.

II. BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q2FY21

Segment I: Electro-Mechanical Projects & Commercial Air Conditioning Systems

Segment I revenue recovered 69.0% to Rs 540.83 cr in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 783.54 cr in Q2FY20. Segment result was Rs 34.41 cr (6.4%) in Q2FY21 as against of Rs 44.56 cr (5.7%) in Q2FY20.

Order inflow during the quarter was Rs 684.91 cr as compared to Rs 794.35 cr in Q2FY20, a recovery of 86.2%.

1. Electro-Mechanical Projects business

Order inflow in Q2FY21 witnessed a gradual recovery. We won a prestigious Electrical & Mechanical works (E&M) order valued at Rs 149 cr for 'Mumbai Metro Line III, Package UGC-03' for five underground stations from Mumbai Central to Worli, from Dogus-Soma JV. However, the slowdown continues in Commercial buildings and Factories segments, which are expected to take longer to recover.

As of September end, more than two-third of the job sites are available for execution. However, we are prioritizing the mobilization based on cash flow.

We would continue to focus on Infrastructure segments such as metro railways and substation project tenders which are expected to get concluded in the upcoming quarters, offering immediate growth opportunities.

Carried-forward order book of the Electro-Mechanical Projects business increased marginally to Rs 2070 cr as on September 30, 2020 as compared to Rs 2063 cr as on September 30, 2019.

2. Commercial Air Conditioning Systems

While the order inflow and revenue from commercial spaces like malls, auditoriums, and movie halls were impacted, healthcare, pharma and government sectors helped the commercial air conditioning business to partially recover in Q2FY21.

Major orders bagged in Q2FY21 were from Greenfield Electronic Manufacturing Clusters (Hyderabad), Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Science (Bellary), Grand Hyatt Hotel (Bharuch), INTAS Pharmaceuticals (Ahmedabad) and National Mineral Development Corporation (Chandigarh).

In addition, the demand for retrofit and revamp solutions with Virus Deactivation Technology is robust. Major orders for products and solutions such as duct cleaning, UVC emitters, filters and fresh air augmentation have been received from ICICI Bank, Mercedes Benz India and Airport Authority of India.

3. International Business

The international markets in which we operate, witnessed gradual revival with encouraging order inflows during the quarter. The pace of the projects business in some of the key markets was promising.

Market for our joint venture in Qatar recovered, with a pick-up in government projects. Relaxations in pandemic restrictions & regulations are expected to aid pick-up in the forthcoming quarters.

We continue to focus on the expansion of Blue Star product range and building brand awareness and brand visibility in different markets that we are present in. Our campaigns across digital media platforms have been well received by our target customers.

Segment II: Unitary Products

Segment II revenue recovered 84.5% to Rs 318.65 cr in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 377.21 cr in Q2FY20. Segment result was Rs 11.73 cr (3.7%) in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 11.96 cr (3.2%) in Q2FY20.

1. Room Air Conditioner business

With the opening of retail outlets across the country and the growth of e-commerce channel, the demand recovery exceeded the expectations. However the demand is for affordable premium products. We have launched a wide range of Virus Deactivation Technology products. We have maintained our market share at 12.75%. The inventory pressure has been largely eased.

We expect the recovery momentum of Q2 FY21 to continue in the upcoming festive season and by December, the market is expected to reach 100% of last year's level.

2. Commercial Refrigeration business

Our commercial refrigeration business witnessed good recovery in Q2FY21 with excellent traction in the pharma and healthcare segments for our Modular Cold Rooms and Medical Refrigeration Products. We also gained momentum in the Supermarket Refrigeration business with order inflows from local and national retail chains. With the opening of restaurants and other unlock measures, the demand recovery is expected to accelerate in Q3.

We continue to maintain our market leadership position across the product categories.

We launched Touchless Storage Water Coolers and Bottled Water Dispensers during the quarter and these are expected to gain traction in the forthcoming quarters.

Major orders were bagged in Q2FY21 from UP Medical Supplies Corporation, Dr Reddy's Labs and Thyrocare.

3. Water Purifier business

The impact of the pandemic on our Water Purifier business has remained relatively moderate. E– commerce channel continued to contribute to a major share of revenue for water purifiers. We have reached market share of 3% in this category.

The Alkaline water purifier for immunity boosting campaign was well accepted by the targeted customers and the flow of enquiries to our network stores was encouraging.

We continue to stay focused on establishing our brand as a trusted one in the category, with wellengineered and the reliable products, backed by superior service.

Given the growing concerns on health and immunity, the demand for water purifiers is set to grow and the business is poised to break even this year.

Segment III: Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems

Segment III revenue was Rs 42.64 cr in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 88.72 cr in Q2FY20. Segment result was Rs 8.15 cr (19.1%) in Q2FY21 as compared to Rs 24.43 cr (27.5%) in Q2FY20. The dip in revenue and profits in Q2FY21 is on account of a large, one time order in our data security business, executed by us in Q2FY20.

The Data Security Systems business continued to do well on the back of digitization initiatives in the BFSI sector. The demand for Healthcare products also increased during the quarter. With a revival in general economic activities, we also saw order inflows from the industrial segment with the Material Testing business regaining momentum during the quarter.

While the corporate capex spending is likely to be selective, we expect the Indian digital payment sector and healthcare sector to grow further in the current scenario and continue to offer opportunities.

With the wide portfolio of products and solutions forming part of our offerings, the prospects for this business segment are positive.

III. BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Q2FY21 witnessed a much needed revival in business activities with easing of government restrictions. In the Electro-Mechanical projects business, we continue to prioritize our projects execution based on availability of work front and cash flows. We expect the markets for Room Air conditioners and Commercial Refrigeration businesses to get back to pre-Covid levels by Q4FY21. Digitization and Healthcare initiatives offer good prospects for the Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems segment.

While the revenue recovery will accelerate in the coming quarters, we will continue to focus on working capital and operating costs. We are optimistic about improving financial performance further in Q3 and Q4FY21.

With that ladies and gentlemen, I am done with the opening remarks. I would like to now pass it back to moderator, who will open up floor to questions. I will try and answer as many questions as I can. To the extent I am unable to, we will get back to you via e-mail.

With that, we are open for questions.

Ending remarks: Thank you very much, Ladies and Gentlemen. With this, we conclude this quarter's earning call. Do feel free to revert to us in case any of your questions were not fully answered and we will be happy to provide you additional details by email or in person.

* The Group commenced its Platinum Jubilee year on September 27, 2018. To mark the momentous milestone the Parent held, throughout the previous year, various events and programmes, ran special media campaigns and printed special publications. Owing to the singular frequency of costs related to the milestone, such costs were recognised as exceptional.

4 The results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2020 are not comparable with those for the corresponding previous periods, owing to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations. While the Company continues to monitor the economic effects of the pandemic, including recovery of assets, and take steps to improve operational and financial efficiencies, the ultimate impact may be different from that presently estimated and would be recognized in the financial results when material changes to economic conditions arise.
