Liquid vaporizer market has grown by 6% in volume and 9% in value in Jan-June 2015 period, as per Nielsen. The company in coil has grown by 35% in volume and 39% in value.

Personal care sales have grown by just 2% as Margo has not done well in Q2.
South and East region is not performing good compared to West and North. As a result, Margo didnt do well, which is strong in South and East .Modern Trade sales contribution is 8% to total sales.Net Debt will be Rs 275-280 crore for March 2016
Another very important point to be kept in mind which is often ignored but has very very serious long term implications is the amount of amortization charged to the P&L account to arrive at net profit/EPS.
For this quarter as was for previous quartersâŚthe amortization charged was rs 11 cr. This amortization was charged because JLL had acquired Henkel a few years ago.
If you think deeply, the brand/goodwill/franchise value of Henkel brands is only increasing under JLL. But still, as per GAAP, (ALAS!!!) they need to wear it down to zero in their balance sheet by charging it in their P&L account.
So, in order to calculate owner earnings (so to sayâŚi m quoting warren buffett here) we can safely add back Rs 11 crore and hence actual net profit would be rs 49 cr instead of 38 crâŚa jump of whopping 30%(aprox)
On an anualized basis ( if we double up the half year earnings of JLL and add 30%) the total nett profit will be Rs 84cr*2=Rs 164 cr plus 30%= 212cr (APROX)âŚwhich will amount to an EPS of Rs 12
If you also add Rs 36 cr charged on anual basis against ESOP as it will not exist by next yearâŚyou get a net profit of Rs 240cr and an EPS of Rs 13.5-14.
All this will make JLL really attractive!!!
Views on the analysis are invited from fellow members
Regars,
Ranvir Dehal
Another thing that that i must add here is the ESOP mentioned above would lead to a dilution of about 3%. So, this has to be factored in the above mentioned calculations

Power Brand sales grew by 9% with volume growth of 9%

Soap and Detergent sales grew by 4% to Rs 287.25 crore, Home care by 25% to Rs 81.94 crore and Other products by 21% to Rs 4.59 crore.
Soap and Detergent has grown in volume but not in value due to competitive intensity and deflationary environment.

As per AC Nielsen, market share during Jan-Dec 15 increased from 75% to 77%. Ujala Crisp and Shine is estimated to touch turnover of 2.5 crore in its first year. It will be roll out in more market in FY17.
The mgmt expects Ujala to see growth of 9% FY16.
Henko Matic has shown good growth of 28% while Henko stain champion and bar did not grow due to high competitive intensity. Henko Matic value share during Jan-Dec 15 was 5.9% vs 4.9% last year.
Henko â will focus on bucket wash starting Q4 as its much bigger market than matic.
Premium laundry wash business is doing well whereas mass one is not doing well.
The mgmt said that in detergent, it will invest at premium end and not go behind mass end.
Dishwashing sales increased by 9% to Rs 119.72 crore. Exo volume grew by 22% and value by 7%. As per AC Nielsen, Dishbar category volume growth was 10% and value was 10.5%. As per AC Nielsen, market share during Oct-Dec 15 saw growth to 10.31%.

Maxo coil market share is 20%. Maxo Liquid market share is 8% as per Nielsen but the mgmt believe it is higher than this. Presently, its No 3 player in liquid at country level.
Liquid vaporizer is extremely profitable business, after Ujala and Margo. Coil business is volatile as its seasonal business, but at profitability level, it doesnât move much. Liquid vaporizer driving profitability of Mosquito repellent business.
Maxo genius magic card sales for YTD was Rs 2 crore. But as the company is now launching this pdts across nation, expects good growth in coming quarters.
Magic card - 90% market is control by one player and another player holds 7- 8%. Market size of this category is Rs 328 crore. The company is looking at market share of 22% in next 2 yrs.
Personal care sales increased by 17% to Rs 34.33 crore. Margo soap grew by 12%.
Other products sales decreased by 13% to Rs 7.45 crore.
The companyâs direct reach is 5 lakh outlet vs last year of 4 lakh. New addition happen in rural region
Indirect reach - Ujala is available in more than 3 mn outlets, while rest of the pdts reach is around 1 mn.
The mgmt said that future drop in crude oil will not necessary means another drop in raw marterail prices. Already industry has got 80% benefit of it.
There will be some gross margin improvement in coming quarter if the crude oil prices remain where it is today.
ESOP cost in Q4 will be Rs 2.3 crore, in Q1 FY17 will be Rs 2.3 crore, in Q2 Rs 1.7 crore and Q3 and Q4 each will have Rs 1 crore.
Cash profit for the quarter was 48.8 crore.
Rs 400 crore debenture is the only debt on book, which will get repaid next yr.
The company became more competitive in detergent and dish wash by increasing spend in ASP which help volume growth.
The mgmt said that demand continues to be soft and expected to remain so. Maxo card launch in this quarter expected to fuel growths further. It can see price competition to stabilize in laundry and dish wash in Q4. It will be able to sustain volume growth around 9% for Q4.
Growth in Mosquito Repellents, specially liquids is very heartening specially on the back of the fact that it is a relatively under penetrated category. Growth in henko matic is also good.
Growth in pril was 15% by value. Category growth was also 15%. Then how did it gain market share is not known??? Also, its volume growth was below market growth.
Does anybody know??
Henkel has an option to buy 26% stake in the company. This option exists till 31s March 2017.
If and when that happens, the stock could see huge upside. But since I donât prefer banking on such binary events, I would leave that aside and focus on the fundamentals:
Q1FY17
Gross margins at 50%. Mgmt guided for maintaining GM at 50% throughout FY17.
Healthy volume and margin growth across segments except for household insecticides.
Relatively cheaper FMCG stock.
Descent promoter buying seen in the stock.
May be an indicator of good things to come.

Anyone tracking it ?. Decent results. Stock fell 15% since henkel didnât buy stake.
Ya. Holding it for last 4 Yrs. Results are good. Even Better is the fact the oct sales are up 19%âŚas per Mr Kamath.
Henkel deal cancellation got the better of the publicity I guess. I would continue to hold happily and would even recommend buying due to this correction.
Views are personal. Please do ur due diligence.
Looking at a 3 year chart, i can conclude that there is a strong support around 300 levels and the stock can bounce from hereon.
Views invited.
Just dont know fundamentally the impact on Henkel deal cancellation in short term and medium term.
Experts please throw some light here.

Jyothy Lab management interview with CNBC TV18
Good insights of the company history, their efforts for Henkel acquisition and their future targets.
" And, according to Kamath, it is in talks with four odd companies â primarily regional ones â mostly from South India and the eastern region.
These brands could be strong regional ones that have failed to scale up or do not have the bandwidth to go national; or national ones that have financial and management problems because of which they are suffering."
