@jatin/others
Please understand VP Core Team uses its discretion to “intervene” in debates, when its deemed necessary. When it is deemed unnecessary, we will choose to be silent - please allow and respect that space for us. Sometimes it’s prudent to avoid adding fuel to the fire - in both directions !

Seeing so much of hullabaloo over 1 quarter of results, we choose to point out a few things - if only to interject a dose of realism, prevent panic reactions, and cluttering of this thread with the same issues over & over again. These are our complete views at the moment - so we also reserve the right NOT to be drawn into further defending our individual/VP position.

1. Most/All the issues that have been raised by folks recently (post the Q1 results) are “old” issues; nothing new has been brought out which has NOT been discussed and debated before the investment call by VP - which means in our collective wisdom we had taken the call on the Personality and assigned a suitable discount factor to the personality type, while assigning a Premium to his execution ability

2. Merger issue existed before as well. We had made the call with the full knowledge that Merger may or may not happen. Even without the merger happening we saw the distinct visibility of a 25% CAGR over 2-3 years. Merger happening is a bonus - not factored in our Valuation case

3. 200 Cr Cash Issue : If I am not mistaken it has been clarified by Management that the cash lies with a State Bank subsidiary (SB of Travancore?) Kochi branch many months back ??

4. Once having made a Call we like to keep faith and give the business a reasonably long rope to show walking the talk. Just 1 Quarter of results/newsflow or some event trigger does not sway our FAITH. We question the FAITH only after 2-3 quarters of non-performance or deteriorating performance. Keeping FAITH is the most important trait you need once you have done solid homework, have slotted the Management Quality & Business Quality, and invested for the long term

5. Having spent extensive time on the Business/Competitive space/Industry, we find this is a high quality sustainable business that is capable of investing capital towards earning high returns for a number of years, with a long runway in front. The business is led by an exceptional Jockey with exceptional focus on executional efficiency - with manic or as Prof Bakshi calls it fanatic focus & energy.

6. Such exceptional, maniacal folks we don’t run into everyday. Yes there are personal quirks - that are sometimes not defendable as completely rational decisions, but these kind of folks believe they know best - it is their way and they believe this is the way to do it - they don’t care much to listen or explain their rationale. The key question to ask when faced with such a personality/business situation is what do you value more, and in the context of the overall possibilities, can you live with the idiosyncracies (unless you have reached the conclusion there is an intent to defraud - in which case the decision should be clear right, there is no debate). Do you think these are IGNORABLE? Are these interfering with actual business performance on the ground? (A good contrasting example to my mind is the Hawkins case - where business was getting hampered quarter, after quarter, after quarter)
   In our case we took a lot of time to take a considered decision - with all the anamolies right before us - and decided to keep faith in the business led by what we believe is otherwise an Excellent Management - but where “Managementspeak” probably needs to be adequately DISCOUNTED. We have an internal figure for that discount we cant reveal …ha ha…

7. Normal growth in the business is a given for us, but there are a few “Optionalities” Kitex business throws up that most investors need to focus on. Execution on white label opportunities in the US market, and its own private label branding attempts. These will gradually unfold over next 1-2-3 years - and that is what we want to closely track. So far Kitex has been executing on home ground, Executing well in uncharted territory is the key monitorable for us - which will confirm or deny our main investment hypothesis.

8. End of the day Investing is an ART form. There is no holy grail. Nothing really right or wrong. Take the decision based on your comfort level. If you are comfortable stay put and keep faith. If you are not comfortable, decide to exit. If you had invested based on the VP call at 300+ levels , there is no reason to complain anyways We absolutely reserve the right to be proved completely wrong and foolish in our call of keeping faith in the business and the management - for the moment.

9. There are other things to focus on and investigate in the sustainability of the Kitex story. For example, there are more players (existing & emerging of some scale) in India of supplying infantwear to the same customers - can we list a few names, please… We will urge Members to shift focus to that and refrain from too much of what we call opinion-bazi - one way or the other.

10. By all means keep track of the events/facts, bring out NEW (disturbing) facts by all means - that will be a skeptic’s job well done - that someone like Dheeraj continues to do - that’s his singular contribution to this community - we welcome more like him. And as promised whenever we are at Kochi next we will take up all these issues with Management - and revert with Management’s way of handing the objections and its responses.

Exactly @sinha124! I was not writing as I didn’t want to be seen defending the company but I’m surprised to see these issues being pushed on several places after the fall in stock price while most of these concerns have been out there well from before and most of the serious investors I know are aware of these and much more and have tried their best to find answers by attending the AGMs and doing homework. I’m not comfortable or 100% sure with all the responses yet continue to appreciate the remarkable work the company has done. One needs to attend the AGM of the company and see the huge and fantastic setup the company has created, the high quality work environment being provided, one of the best global names as customers and giving awards to the company. Plus if you go locally and speak to people, this guy has done substantial amount of CSR work in his local area and really helped people and spent money from his pocket. If one is interested then he should go through the entire thread once again and try to read the positive points also and try to check them. Anyways coming to my thoughts on the points raised (these are my thoughts and I reserve the right to be wrong or change my mind ) :

1. On cash balance - yes, its pretty concerning and the most important point. Infact I had raised it at a concall and AGM - the management told that the same is not lying in some foreign ac rather its very much in SBI Bank ac at Kochi. He even said he can give the ac no if needed So that was comforting however, the question still remains as to why he is not earning interest on the same and why is he speculating on making more gains from dollar appreciation (which I don’t like and concerns me).
   If you check the past balance sheet of the company, the company had a debt:equity ratio of 5:1 in 2007 and by 2013 there was consistent reduction in debt + cash generation and debt:equity ratio came down to 0.5:1. The cash balance has swelled up materially only in last 2-3 years. Earlier debt reduction wouldn’t had been possible if the business was not generating cash.
   Still, I continue to keep this as a key monitorable.

2. On hiring of E&Y and paying lot of money - I see it as a good point. Earlier the issue could have been that the co has no professional auditors - atleast they took a move and got E&Y as internal auditor. From my CA experience I can tell that most of the cos have unknown auditors till they reach a point and are asked by investors to have known audit firm. And its not easy to change the old statutory auditors all of sudden.

3. On signing of acs early - We had asked it at the AGM and were told that the company has a process of having acs finalization on a monthly or quarterly basis + they don’t have to deal with too many customers (total customers would be less than 10 I think) + the deliveries are not daily - there are fixed schedules. So its not that its impossible.
   We should ask the company why this excessive focus on being “first to report” - and provide them feedback - that this raises more questions and anyways do not get them any brownie points

4. On KCL - KGL issue - Yes, we would prefer to have one entity but that’s not in our hands. If we are to pull out the numbers of KCL from MCA (which one can do by paying 100 Rs) the good thing to me is that KCL has also had good net profit margins over the last several years. There have been years when KCL has grown much faster than KGL and there have been years (like the latest one) where there has been a de-growth at KCL. But there is no clear trend.

Few more things we did to check about the company:

1. Spoke to people in Kerala about the group - most of the time the feedback has been excellent. Even on our forum several people have given good feedback
2. There are website like panjiva.com on which one can get shipment details - https://panjiva.com/shipment_search/results?q=kitex+garments
3. Searched on EPF website - http://search.epfoservices.in/est_search.php
4. Spoke to some professionals in the industry - and the feedback was good about the quality, infrastructure, technology etc.

Despite all this, given the points raised and short-comings in the company, this investment call can go wrong - so everyone please be careful and do your homework

I hope this helps.

Ayush

Thanks Ayush and Donald for the excellent posts.
I am from Kochi,and one thing i can vouch for is the quality of products that Kitex makes.They are top notch. Also whatever feedback that i have heard about them from friends , relatives has always been good.

The key question to ask when faced with such a personality/business situation is what do you value more, and in the context of the overall possibilities, can you live with the idiosyncracies

This is where “Outsiders” book helps to evaluate the management.
Reminds me of the iconoclast remark in the book.

[PP1]

@Value_Seeker

No apparently perceivable moat for an outsider.

the buyers would be in the best position to judge if they are able to get required quality at a beneficial price from kitex.

If kitex can indeed double their sales in 3 years while retaining profitability, it would suggest the buyers are sticky and like the value proposition kitex offers.

You don’t have to be an insider to know that there is no moat due to switching costs.

Mothercare annual sales is 1.2 billion USD. Assume 10% of that is from infantwear in US/UK - which makes it 120 million USD… Or 780 crore INR… Lets assume that Mothercare makes ~20% gross margins on this - so the purchase cost for Mothercare for this is 620 crores…

Now, let us suppose Kitex supplies 20% of its output to Mothercare… Which means that about 60 crore of Kitex sales are to Mothercare…

Putting the above together - only 60 crores out of 620 crores is coming from Kitex. The rest 560 crores are coming from someone else… Now, since Kitex is the 3rd largest infantwear manufacturer, it is highly unlikely that the rest 560 crores are coming from the top 2… It is most likely coming from a fragmented bunch of 25 or more vendors…

So, it is mind-boggling that some people believe in this switching costs logic and have built up an imaginary moat…

[PP1]

@sinha124

I think finally it comes down to individuals, if one is comfortable with the story/promoter/VP/Prof Bakshi ( intelligent fanatics post) etc or not. It comes down to individual call after looking at all view points.There are view points on both sides.

I have read Prof. Bakshi’s note on Kitex, where he talks about moat due to switching costs, scale. etc.

Yes, it is indeed true that Kitex has high return ratios (ROE, ROCE)… And most likely, on seeing the high return ratios - he started searching for a moat which could explain the high return ratios… And he came up with two kinds of moat (scale, switching costs) - both of which are clearly imaginary/fictitious…

Why? I guess most often what people miss is that high return ratios indicate economic efficiency… Not necessarily a moat… Both of them are not the same… Let me give two examples…

All our IT/ITES companies (Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Mindtree, etc) have high return ratios, with no moat (commodity, undifferentiated services)… Which is why they are valued at 15-20 PE…

Similarly there are companies with high moat, but low return ratios/economic efficiency - e.g. Indian Railways… Or so many tolled highways around the world which have an excellent moat, but run on losses/-ive returns - because the traffic/vehicle load is simply not there to earn returns on the invested capital…

You value a stock at 40 PE or more, if the business has both a moat, and has economic efficiency… Both have to be there… If only one is there, then you value it at 10 - 25 PE (the higher end of the PE range being for high growth businesses)… Well, otherwise - you learn it the hard way (sooner or later)!

Moral of the story: No point being concerned about management quality, when one should be concerned about the valuations.

Disc. Not invested

[ashwinidamani]

Well,

I tried writing what Ayush has written on : Cash, Accounts Finalisation and Merger. Glad that I deleted what I wrote. Couldnt have written it more better than him.

Other issues which I want to highlight for benefit of new investors

1. Whenever you make a new investment, please maintain you notes. Categorise your notes into
   a. Your reason for investing (could even be : because Rakesh Jhunjhunwala bought)
   b. Basic Facts you understood about the company
   c. Known Issues (in case of Kitex, it could be Merger, Cash issue etc, For Page it was : It doesnt own brand )
   d. Are you ready to live with known issues and What valuation discount are you ready to give for known issues

This process helps in de-cluttering the thought process when new set of info comes, or say a bad result comes.

In case of Kitex most of the issues which are being raised since past 1 week are known issues. In case we had already written about it, we would not have been unncessarily worried or swayed by other peoples decision.

Regards to valuation, a similar excercise can be carried out. Also for someone like me, who isnt good at selling decisions, I follow a simple stuff. For stories where I believe that there could be a huge industry opportunity, I tend to sell something at higher levels and make my original cost free. This isnt advised for all. But this is something I do for managing my own emotions.

In the end, what I have learnt is that equity markets are much as about controlling your emotions as about understanding financials.

Please note, if you want to make wealth in markets, it is very important that you have a due process. Find your own methodology. You know yourself best. Find a process which suits your emotion.

[whipsaw]

On the growth mindset,

1. Why Kitex is just stuck on just setting up US brand for many quarters as if there are no others avenues to growth? That too with legal issues and JV mess. Why not, on parallel, look to expand different geography or adding more clients?

2. Why not setup brand in India? May be low margin, but when global majors are setting up shops in India, why not pluck the low hanging fruits too?

3. Not aware of any capex planned for near future and existing utilization is at peak. So is the plan to forgo existing customers order and channel the production to their own brand supply?

4. As they plan to do it standalone using their own brand, who is going to design their clothes? I don’t think they can use their existing client’s cloth design or borrow their ideas. They definitely need to hire somebody from US/UK who specialize in designing baby clothes. Will the customers like the new designs? Its a big question.

Thanks.

[diffsoft]

Maybe this has already been addressed but I could not find.

If Kitex plans to launch its own brand in the US and in effect compete with its principals, wouldn’t that effect its existing business?

Would be happy if someone can fill this for me.

Warm regards,

[Donald]

Krishnaraj,

I think you haven’t read the Kitex Management Q&A with due care. There are enough pointers there on the Kitex’s approach to the whole US market initiative. From what we could gather this isn’t a wild swing but a slow, gradual calibrated strategy- the man knows the turf, and the players well and has very deep (personal) relationships going with some of the big customers going back decades. You wouldn’t be faulted if you second-guessed the Man would have been approached several times, by several players/stakeholders in the wholesale/retail chain - with several different possibilities.

Just pause a while - Private Label requirements are whose? Never the brand customers - It’s the Walmarts of the World. Can suppliers to private labels also maintain a very healthy relationship with branded customers??

Selected excerpts - that should prompt more of the guys new (not completely familiar) to Kitex story to devour the 4.5 hour interview - in order to try and understand more of the business/and the maniacal Jockey at the helm. Most of the (logical, folks are asking again) questions incl. when will retail in India be a possibility for KItex are already answered. Please complete your due diligence - at least do justice to the Management Q&A - that we put up so painstakingly for you

Kindly educate us on the US Wholesale Operations set-up? What are the aims and what is the investment size?
There are 3 ways of entering the US market

A. X or Y Brand manufactured by Kitex (manufactured by Kitex is imprinted on the garment)

B. Kitex made private label for someone like Walmart (where Kitex branding is non-existent)

C. License some established brand – that is not present in infant wear – take advantage of the mother brand while providing best quality manufacturing by Kitex (again Kitex manufacturing brand is enhanced). In US market Quality comes first (probably even before Brand) hence huge Branding exercise may not be required. Since customers can return products even after few days of use, quality is critical, and we can leverage Kitex quality while piggy-riding on the mother brand.

Is it right to conclude that these are probably longer -term initiatives and that initially the most significant impact will be on timely deliveries and logistics cost savings? What impact is this likely to see on the margins front? and by when?
We have hired some office space in US. We will import Kitex garments in bulk ourselves, pay the landed duty price (LDP) and offer our products directly to retailers. This activity should get started in next 2 months and will help shave off 0.5% of current logistic costs.

In time we may be able to replace distributors in between and supply directly to Retail ourselves. Distributors today are marking up as much as 30-50% off us while selling to retail.

There looks to be a conflict of interest here. Why wouldn’t this strain your relationships with existing customers (like Carter) who also procure in volumes for themselves (their retail presence) as well as supply to Walmart and other big retailers.
No, we do not think so. US is a very competitive but business-like place. If you can get additional business from Retailers, good for you.

Why can’t a US manufacturer do a good job with more of the automated machines and efficiency drivers like you have spoken of before?
$12/hour is the minimum cost of Labour. For 8 hours this would cost $96, say $100 or Rs 6000 per day. Rs 6000/- per month is the Labour cost in India. Even if someone were to manufacture in US efficiently, who is going to consume products that will need to priced that much higher?

Once you have a trusted supplier relationship going with a global retailer, kindly give us an idea of the level of penetration possible? $150 Mn is just 5% of Carter’s annual sales today.
We have very good relationship with all our Customers. Over the years of association, in many cases it becomes like personal family relationship. Some of them call me at any time of the night, on business. Some of them I have to call every weekend, wherever I am.

We enjoy preferred supplier status today. We can keep growing the relationship with all of them steadily. As mentioned before, though we have offers to scale up very significantly on one or the other relationship, we prefer to go about it in a balanced way – not expose ourselves to undue risks/pressures.

Does any scale-relationship with any one retailer, restrict or impose any limitation on sourcing by other Brands or direct competitors?
Not at all. US way of business is different – they are very fair. Just like they want us to be fair in all our practices as well like not forcing our Labour force and meet all social compliance norms – hygiene, work timings, fair wages, working conditions, etc.

They don’t/won’t interfere in our business at all, there is complete freedom. Gerber or say The Children’s Place don’t ask us about the level of business that we do with others.

How the whole story will play out - only time will tell :).

Disc: I remain invested fully. My views are biased

[Donald]

That brings me to the other question that seems to be bugging the “Moat” questioners a helluva lot.
I could be wrong, but my sense is these questions are raised by folks who are not invested in the story from lower levels, and actually the main question revolves around Valuations being completely over-stretched (which is right)

For those who are invested in the story (let me address the Valuation question first)

1. The first Margin of Safety comes the price we invested in. If we had invested around the 20x trailing or thereabouts, there is a big cushion of safety - that allows you the luxury of keeping faith in a developing story. Not panic and sell out when valuations touch/cross 40x trailing

2. Next Margin of Safety comes from understanding the Business well - If we have done your homework, understand the seasonality in Spring/Summer/Fall infantwear, have tracked patterns in earlier years, we will obviously have more patience again to see the story play out. We will perhaps also have the visibility/data to work out how the Valuations would look 4 quarters from now

3. If we have studied the business well and slotted it according to the VP suggested process of BQ & MQ, we would have assigned a stable PE range to the business in our minds - as differentiated from other businesses - with their own BQ/MQ slots. We would be able to take a good call - Are the valuations so stretched that on a forward earnings basis it seems to be factoring in 2 or 3 years of earnings??

4. If we try to assess Mr Market’s current state of mind - not just about Kitex but so many different business, we cannot but agree that Mr Market is in a very generous mood wherever there is a hint of sustainable quality growth - if every decent business is valued out 2-3 years forward, why the hell should you jump out of this business to get into another with lesser margin of safety?

So if we are to think like a Fund Manager whose mandate is to invest in emerging quality businesses with sustainable growth, what are we likely to do? - that should settle the Valuation question for those invested from lower levels. For anyone who started riding/jumping on the bandwagon later - well, we are not the ones who can provide any meaningful answers there.

---

Now I have been fighting a losing battle with folks stuck on the “Moat” question like forever.
I had put that question to our mentor Chetan Parikh - Sir, isn’t it better to forget the much abused jargon Moat - and try to answer simpler questions like Entry Barriers, Competitive Advantage, Why will it be very very difficult for someone (with greater financial and other resources) to dislodge this guy from its perch, and the like?
He said "Absolutely …that’s the grounds-up way…also, just ask the guys to answer the simple question in as many ways as they can, What’s so Special in this business?"

We can’t get into extended debates on Kitex Moat - I really shut off these days when I hear that term - but I can only urge all the Moat questioning guys - please pay attention to the Intangibles/Tangibles in the business - as evidenced by Strategic Assets, Business Architecture, Competitive forces, Entry Barriers …do that work on a granular level bottoms up on any business - study the Kitex BQ sheet - and then engage in a debate/discussion that will be a more healthy and fruitful one - I can promise you. Just forget the jargons …stay with the basics…and question the basics - sincerely.

So, if there is no moat - why do you believe that Kitex can hold on to its highest ever 33% operating margins of FY15, when cotton prices start rising or competitive intensity increases? Fact is that its margins have never been above 22% before FY15 (the year when cotton prices fell drastically)…

What sort of intangibles/tangibles do you see that will help Kitex hold on to margins? What will happen to earnings if op. profit margin falls to 20%?

Super-rich PE at the peak of a favorable cycle is a recipe for disaster… Even a normal PE at the peak of a favorable cycle is not exactly giving a margin of safety.

Disc. Not invested. And not planning to invest even if it falls to Rs. 200 / share.

[kk82]

@PP1 PP
Why do you say that there is no Moat?
Moat is the competitive advantage one company has over another in a similar industry.
A few moats that i could think of here are
Intangible asset - elite clients,roce and roe that is better than other similar co;s , quality products , are all examples.
They are one of the largest producers of infant wear. Its not an easy market to capture in the United states because of the importance that they place over quality. A customer buying can return the product even after several days of usage. So isnt the very fact that they have a number of elite customers in the US, a testimony to quality of their products? Isnt this not a MOAT?

You mention in your disclaimer that you wouldnt buy even if it falls to Rs 200. Thats a pretty naive statement. Why wouldnt you not buy even if it falls to 200? Seems you have something against the company.Its always better to not let your emotions get in the way while making investments.

About why there is no moat - read the discussions over the last one week.

Why I wouldn’t buy at 200 Rs - try to calculate EPS for FY15 with a operating margin on 20% (except FY15, the operating margin for Kitex has always been in 15% - 20% range). Then take a PE of 15, which you would give to a garments manufacturer without a moat. (Considering high growth, I would have given a PE of 20 - except for all the corp. gov concerns).

Sorry, no emotions at play here on my side. Only hard calculations of intrinsic value.
You could also try not being emotional about this.

Anyways, I don’t want to get into long-drawn discussions on this stock. I have no money invested in this. Just thought I will bring some rationality into the discussions here. I will take rest on this topic now.

[kk82]

While making your calculation of 200 rs, have you considered the fact that they are poised to double their garmenting capacity over the next one to two years with 10-15 % increase in employee base and little capex? Plus there are many additional triggers too which all are aware off.

[PP1]

Then give it a PE of 20 or 25… And see where that reaches.

Don’t calculate intrinsic value based on what management talks about. Do it based on what management is actually capable of doing.

A few days ago, there was an image map of what the management has promised in previous years, and what it delivered against the promises…

When management talks about launching brand in USA - take it with the heaviest dose of skepticism… Just to help you understand how difficult it is to make a successful brand - my understanding is that even for a branding powerhouse like Unilever - only 1 out of their 10 new brands actually click. The other 9 they have to write off all the investments they made into the brand… Now that is Unilever which is a marketing/branding company… Just imagine the chances of success of a brand launched by a company from a manufacturing background… probably 1 out of 25 or worse…

The same management has various other businesses…

(1) Anna Aluminium - which sells Chacksons pressure cooker… That is a branding play… Has it been able to hold a candle to Prestige/Hawkins?

(2) Saras - their packaged spices/masalas branding play… Has it been able to hold a candle to MTR/Eastern/Melam/Others?

If they cant build a brand in India - how are they going to do it in USA? The management has no clue about brand building, etc… It is just weaving dreams…

[kk82]

Okay.
Mine is a free holding now since i bought it at lower levels and sold half recently. Like Donald mentioned , for new entrants the valuation looks stretched now. In my case, i will wait and see how the story plays out.
Thanks
Kiran

[diffsoft]

Thanks @Donald for generously overlooking my carelessness.

The responses and the wonderful interview conducted raises more questions but they are irrelevant to me since I do not intend to take any further analysis of the firm.

[dd1474]

I have been following this company despite no investment. I would like to bring some points for consideration of forum:

1. First principal: “Buyers be aware.” If you like the company prospect and valuation, please go ahead and invest. I was not convince about story because of the reasons highlighted and ignored Kitex with at least missing 3X return. But, I am absolutely fine with that because there are another 4,999 companies listed and I can invest in same. So all members shall be responsible for their own investment decision. If you do not like idea highlight reason for your discomfort, get another side view point and take final call. We can not ask forum seniors to explain every price movement. Also, when price went up from 300 to 1,000; all these issues were almost present and none even bothered to discuss these issues.

2. Temporary price movement: I would say that even Eicher Motor has declined from 21,500 to 19,500 during last week and I have invested in same. It might be because of temporary demand supply gap or some other reason. The point is each individual need to develop its conviction to invest and own loss coming out of it, understand the reason for same.

3. Trust of Senior member: I appreciate Donald/Ayush approach to hold on to their view in difficult time with open mind. In fact, to be candid, it was Donald who encouraged me to bring out all the negative points on valuepickr despite he had investment in July/August 2014. He and other members considered all issues and took final decision. So we may move toward more constructive way for difference of opinion rather then being demanding explanation.

Please high light whatever is your concern, but respect the right of other side as well.
