Blue Star Limited Investor Update Q2FY22

I. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The quarter commenced on a strong note with extended summer in the northern parts of the country. There was healthy demand and robust volume growth for room air conditioners and refrigeration products compared to Q2FY21 with the ebbing of the second wave of the pandemic and the consequent easing of restrictions and improvement in consumer sentiment. Commercial, manufacturing and other institutional segments also revived. Most importantly, the collections were healthy resulting in substantial reduction in borrowings However, escalation in commodity prices, logistics costs and INR depreciation resulted in margin pressure.

Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, on a consolidated basis, are summarized below:

  • Revenue from operations for Q2FY22 grew 37.4% to Rs 1239.74 cr as compared to Rs 902.12 cr in Q2FY21.
  • EBIDTA (excluding other income and finance income) for Q2FY22 was Rs 70.70 cr (EBITDA margin 5.7% of revenue) as compared to Rs 55.08 cr (EBITDA margin 6.1% of revenue) in Q2FY21 due to the impact of increase in the input cost coupled with the roll-back of cuts in discretionary spends.
  • Profit before tax grew 107.9% to Rs 47.44 cr in Q2FY22 as compared to Rs 22.82 cr in Q2FY21.
  • Tax expense for Q2FY22 was Rs 15.99 cr as compared to Rs 7.42 cr in Q2FY21. Effective tax rate for Q2FY22 was 33.9% as against 33.0% for Q2FY21.
  • Net profit for Q2FY22 grew by 104.2% to Rs 31.45 cr as compared to Rs 15.40 cr in Q2FY21.
  • Carried-forward order book as of September 30, 2021, grew by 5.5% to Rs 3185.91 cr as compared to Rs 3019.57 cr as on September 30, 2020.
  • Capital Employed reduced to Rs 938.14 cr as on September 30, 2021, as compared to Rs 1124.27 cr as on September 30, 2020, on account of continued focus on working capital efficiencies.
  • Prudent working capital management enabled us to end the quarter with a net borrowing of Rs 44.34 cr (debt equity ratio of 0.05) as compared to a net borrowing of Rs 344.06 cr as of September 30, 2020 (debt equity ratio of 0.44).

II. BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q2FY22

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

Segment I revenue grew 33.8% to Rs 723.40 cr in Q2FY22 as compared to Rs 540.83 cr in Q2FY21. Segment result was Rs 46.54 cr (6.4% of revenue) in Q2FY22 as against a profit of Rs 34.41 cr (6.4% of revenue) in Q2FY21.

Order inflow for the quarter grew by 3.5% to Rs 709.13 cr as compared to Rs 684.91 cr in Q2FY21.

1. Electro-Mechanical Projects business

Overall pace of execution of projects and order finalizations improved as compared to the previous quarter. Order inflows from the factories and light industrial sector continued to be encouraging and are expected to offer significant opportunities in the coming months. The inflow of orders from the commercial buildings and infrastructure sectors is beginning to pick up.

We will continue to focus on opportunities in the infrastructure sector such as metro railways, electrical substations and water distribution and sectors such as factories, data centers and warehousing which are expected to throw up good opportunities in the medium term.

Carried-forward order book of the Electro-Mechanical Projects business was Rs 2240 cr as on September 30, 2021, as compared to Rs 2070 cr as on September 30, 2020, a growth of 8.2%.

Major orders received during the quarter were from L&W Construction Pvt Ltd (Hyderabad), Embassy Realty and Max Square Limited.

2. Commercial Air Conditioning Systems

Continued traction in the healthcare, pharma, industrial and government customer segments coupled with early signs of recovery in key segments, namely, retail, IT, and educational institutions enabled a good growth for the commercial air conditioning business during the quarter.

We continued to maintain our number 1 position in Ducted Air Conditioning, 2nd position in VRF and 3rd in Chiller product categories.

Major orders bagged in Q2FY22 were from Late Meenatai Thackrey Covid Hospital NMMC, Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudra (Mysore), NTPC Ramagundam, Reliance Retail, ONGC, Ankaleshwar and ISRO (Sriharikota).

3. International Business

The faster recovery in the Middle East markets enabled strong growth in revenue during the quarter. Demand for both air conditioning and refrigeration solutions improved across SAARC and the Middle East markets.

The ongoing Dubai Expo 2020, the just concluded IPL and the upcoming T20 cricket world cup offered good opportunities during the quarter in the UAE.

The projects business in Qatar continued to do well with a pick-up in order inflows and execution of projects. The operations at the joint venture at Malaysia continued to be impacted during the quarter due to lockdown restrictions imposed there on resurgence of COVID-19.

We continue to explore new markets for business opportunities and expanded our exports business to Tanzania.

Segment II: Unitary Products

Segment II revenue grew 42.7% to Rs 454.71 cr in Q2FY22 as compared to Rs 318.65 cr in Q2FY21. Segment result was Rs 23.26 cr (5.1% of revenue) in Q2FY22 as compared to Rs 11.73 cr (3.7% of revenue) in Q2FY21.

1. Cooling and Purification Products business

Despite extended monsoon, our revenue grew 35% over Q2FY21 in line with the market. We maintained a market share of 13%.

Upgradation of residences and the revival in the light commercial sector are driving the demand. As in the past, tier 3, 4 and 5 markets constitute more than 60% of our revenue. Our re-jigged product portfolio for addressing the belly of the market is helping us to compete effectively.

We have further consolidated our position in the e-com space. Dealer network expansion in Northern India is on track.

We have applied for PLI benefit for sheet metal components and heat exchangers. Blue Star Climatech Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary has commenced construction of the new factory for room air conditioners at Sri City and the same is expected to be commissioned by October 2022.

Due to the unprecedented increase in the commodity prices and logistics costs, we have implemented price increase of 3% effective September 1, 2021.

2. Commercial Refrigeration business

Pick up in consumption in the commercial food segments coupled with continued traction for the medical and supermarket refrigeration equipment enabled a growth in revenue for the commercial refrigeration business during the quarter.

Additionally, demand for storage water coolers and bottled water dispensers have also picked up due to the partial opening of educational institutions and commercial establishments.

During the quarter, we launched new variants in storage water coolers and angular glass top freezers which offer better product visibility and merchandising.

We continue to maintain our leadership position in Deep Freezers, Storage Water Coolers and Modular Cold Rooms.

The new Deep Freezer plant at Wada shall commence commercial production from January 2022.

Major orders were bagged from Reliance Retail, ITC Fortune hotels, SRL Ltd., Omega Systems and Zydus Cadila.

Segment III: Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems

Segment III revenue grew by 44.5% to Rs 61.63 cr in Q2FY22 as compared to Rs 42.64 cr in Q2FY21. Segment result is lower at Rs 9.83 cr (16.0% of revenue) in Q2FY22 as compared with Rs 8.15 cr (19.1% of revenue) in Q2FY21 due to product mix.

Revenue for the quarter grew on the back of a few high value orders received in the data security solutions, non-destructive testing, and healthcare businesses. The data security solutions business continued to do well, led by the various digitization initiatives in the BFSI sector. The Testing Machines business is also witnessing growth with a revival of investments in the manufacturing sector.

Major orders were bagged from State Bank of India, Federal Bank, HDFC Bank, Bharat Electronics Limited and Jio Platforms Limited to name a few.

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

III. BUSINESS OUTLOOK

With the business environment returning to near normalcy, and the upcoming festive season, the demand for our products and services is expected to be robust. We believe that with the acceleration of the vaccination drive, the impact of the third wave, if any, shall be minimal.

With the revenue reaching pre-covid level in the 2nd quarter, we expect the growth momentum to continue through Q3 and Q4 leading up to the next summer season. The pricing corrections will continue depending on the input costs and at the same time, product cost rationalization through value engineering and alternate designs as well as operating cost reduction will be undertaken to counter the margin pressure.
