Sayam Pokharna: Welcome everyone and thanks for joining the Q2 FY 23 earnings call of

Sirca Paints India limited. The investor updates have already been

emailed to you and are also available on our website and on the Stock

from the management team, Mr. Sanjay Agarwal, Chairman &

Managing Director, Mr. Apoorv Agarwal, Joint Managing Director, Ms.

Shallu Arora, Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Suraj Singh, Company

Secretary and Compliance Officer. We will be starting with a brief

overview of the quarter gone by Mr. Apoorv Agarwal, followed by an

overview on the financial performance by Ms. Shallu Arora. I would like

to remind you all that everything said on this call that represents any

outlook for the future that can be construed as a forward-looking

statement must be viewed

in conjunction with the risk and

uncertainties that we face. Some of these risks and uncertainties have

Page 1 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

been mentioned in our prospectus and follow-on annual reports. I

would like to hand over the call to Apoorv sir, over to you.

Apoorv Agarwal:

Thank you Sayam and good afternoon everyone and thank you for

joining our earning calls for Q2 FY23. It is my absolute pleasure to be

talking to all of you this afternoon. I would like to begin by expressing

my gratitude to my team, the investors and everyone associated with

Sirca Paints India Limited for your continued faith and trust in us. I

would like to quickly take you through the performance of this quarter

followed by an update on financial performance by our CFO Shallu

Arora post which we can open the floor for questions.

As you can see from our performance in Q1 and Q2 in FY23, it has been

on a solid footing for the company. We witnessed healthy growth in the

top line in both Q1 and Q2. The performance has been good across all

product portfolios while Italian PU continues to be the bedrock of our

performance. Other emerging categories like UNICO are also making a

noticeable contribution to our top line now. On the wall paint side, the

response is good and more specifically in our premium category of solid

color finishes and texture coating that is San Marco. Keeping in mind

the response of San Marco so far, we are launching our first exclusive

experience center for this portfolio, beginning with our first one in MG

Road located in New Delhi and the other one is in the pipeline. The

movement on Durante & Vivan Hot Melt Glue portfolio is yet to pick

up, and we have ordered the container with a full load of products for

the sampling for our OEM customers, which is expected to arrive within

this month. On the resin side, as announced in a previous investor

communications, we were in the process of commissioning a resin

manufacturing line in our existing Sonipat facility, which is now

operational since the end of Q2. Currently this line is manufacturing

resin for our melamine and NC product category under the UNICO

Page 2 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

brand and the next step is we are planning to take up the

manufacturing of resin for UNICO. PU range of products we believe this

project will be very crucial in standardizing the quality of the

manufactured products and also will aid in cost optimization. The South

India Manufacturing facility remains on hold for another quarter, but

we are quite confident that we will be in a position to share updates on

the same before the end of this financial year. The demand outlook for

the coming quarter remains solid, barring some minor seasonal

disturbances like temporary stop on the spray painting due to pollution

related issues in the Delhi NCR region. Otherwise, we expect to do

much better in the H2 FY 23 compared to our H1. Now I will hand over

the microphone to our CFO to take you through the financial highlights

for the quarter over to you Shallu.

Shallu Arora:

Thank you, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It's an absolute

pleasure to be here with you today. So on the financial side, Q2 FY 23

remains our highest level quarter in terms of revenue from operations

with sales of 72.92 crore, there is a strong increase of around 20.3%.

year-on-year and 18.9% quarter-on-quarter, this is despite a higher

base of both Q1 FY23 and Q2 FY22. On the profitability front we have

recorded an improvement in EBITDA margin which stands at 26.3% in

Q2 FY23 compared to 25% in the previous quarter and 22% in Q2 FY22.

Our profitability has been aided by price hike taken during the last

quarter, coupled with cooling down of raw material prices and then

depreciation in Euro. Our PAT for the quarter stood at the highest ever

at rupees 14.42 crores up 41.9% year-on-year and 23.5% quarter-on-

quarter. We continue to maintain our solid balance sheet position with

zero debt and surplus liquidity to fund our future growth and expansion

plans. On the working capital front we carry higher buffer inventory to

avoid any supply disruption of imported products coupled with

Page 3 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

increasing manufacturing activities. Further debtor days also remain

under control. Now we can open the floor for questions.

Moderator:

Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer

session. We have our first question from the line of Sandesh Agarwal

from Sahasrara Capital. Please go ahead.

Sandesh Agarwal:

I have a few questions. I'm new to this company so my first question is

what is your key differentiator against ICA Pidilite and Asian paints

regarding product.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So ICA Pidilite and Asian paints, as you rightly mentioned, are our main

competitors. But currently if we talk about our product portfolio

currently we have a larger kitty of products to offer to the market

compared to ICA Pidilite secondly, we are the only company now which

are still offering 100% made in Italy products so our presence amongst

the architecture and influencers still is much more when it comes to

recommendation through architects of Italian product. Third our

strategy if we compare against the Asian Renner, we are quite more

becoming preferred partner of dealer where we are entering because

we are offering a secured margin to the retailer. So three main points

where we differentiate. And where we say that we are a step ahead,

then our competitor is a bigger product kitty compared to ICA Pidilite,

a better presence amongst the influencers, especially the designers

when it comes to the 100% made in Italy product, which other main 2

competitors doesn't have and thirdly, a better margin to offer to the

retailer so as to keep their interest in our brand.

Sandesh Agarwal:

OK, and my second question is Sir. What is the market size of Italian PU

and economical PU? And among that, what is our market share in both

the Italian PU and economical PU?

Page 4 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

Apoorv Agarwal:

See amongst the Italian PU, we still are enjoying, almost 20% market

share, above 20% market share. Because this market has grown more

than about 800 to 900 odd crores considering the data that we have

from Europe of export. But once the (inaudible) in Asian Renner is

moving towards manufacturing in India also of the product which they

import from Italy the actual imports of these products are declining but

for us. For now, we are still maintaining the Italian identity for sure. In

the coming months, 5-6 of our main products will be produced in India,

so we will be in a better stage or position to compete in the market in

terms of pricing. But as of now, we hold more than 25% share when it

comes to the pure Italian category. Overall PU market. If you say which

combines of the Italian PU made in India, PU, 1K, 2K, waterborne

thinners, wood fillers altogether, is above 6,000 to 7,000 odd crores out

of which we are still present in a smaller niche because the uniform

manufacturing has just started and we are increasing our distribution

footprint. So currently the market size of the total wood coating is

above 6,500-7,000 crore.

Sandesh Agarwal:

So what is the mix of Italian and non-Italian in our current quarter sales

and also the product wise sales like UNICO and wall paint?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So if we talk about the contribution of Italian, it still remains on the top

and approximately 67% of our sale is coming from the Italian PU. 12.5%

is coming from the Unico range of products and other 12.5% from the

thinner so combined Unico is about 25% now, and wall paint is still a

very small contributor of about 4%.

Sandesh Agarwal:

OK, So what is the capacity utilisation for H1 for UNICO and other PU?

Apoorv Agarwal:

Yeah, so for the NC melamine and together with the UNICO we are

almost at 35% of utilization with the single shift. So we are expecting

that, the H2, the momentum from the newly developed distributor

Page 5 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

states where the UNICO products are moving is going to be quite far,

so we expect that in less than a year we will be able to achieve 100%

capacity.

Sandesh Agarwal:

OK, how many tinting machines until now you have installed at your

dealer distributor network?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So in dealer distributor network currency we have installed above 60

machines. Out of this 80% is in the northern part of India which includes

Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, UP, UK and Uttarakhand. Now we are

expanding out to Gujarat and Maharashtra and South very aggressively

and we expect that other 50 machines to be installed in H2.

Sandesh Agarwal:

OK and so how do you see the response regarding tinting machines

from our dealer distributors.

Apoorv Agarwal:

Yeah, so the response of the tinting machine is very good because the

sales of the color, the sales of the pigmented coatings is increasing

because people are now using more colors on their kitchen wardrobes

and furniture. So the demand for the pigmented PU is rising every day.

And by installing machines the margin of the retailer, especially in the

light color products increases quite high because this and unfortunately

the sales of the light PU is more than dark, so they are earning very

good margins. That is why we are very keen to have the machines, so

we are satisfied we have come out with a very aggressive policy of

machines wherein we are offering the machine at a very good financial

contract so it is attracting a lot of dealers and we are adding more

dealers to join with our machine program and in future we are

expecting that the sales related to the pigmented PU is going to rise

and dealers are showing quite keen interest because from their

counter, the sale of colors are increasing every day and with the

Page 6 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

machine they can earn very good margins, especially on the light range

of colors which contribute more to the color sales.

Moderator:

Thank you, we have our next question from the line of Rakesh Pal from

Peace Wealth Capital. Please go ahead.

Rakesh Pal:

So my question is, what is the volume growth in this half year, H1 of

this financial year 23?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So the volume group also stands between 15% to 18%.

Rakesh Pal:

So most of the growth is volume driven growth, right?

Apoorv Agarwal:

Yes now it is volume based because all the price increase that was done

was in the last quarter of FY22 and from the first quarter of FY23 all the

prices have started to come down so our screen inflow has increased

in the market.

Rakesh Pal:

And, Sir, with the increasing capacity utilization, can we expect some

operating leverage playing out since it was around 30% capacity

utilization?

Apoorv Agarwal:

Yeah it is going to increase, but we are also increasing our marketing

spend. We are increasing our spend towards the marketing and

distribution so we are quite kind of maintaining the balance on that

front.

Moderator:

Thank you. We have a next question from the line of Vijay Chauhan

from Right Horizon Portfolio Management. Please go ahead.

Vijay Chauhan:

So just see if I look at the dealer number dealer distributors so it has

reached approximately 1700 workings of 1496 as of Q1. So what is the

strategy that we have deployed that has worked very well for us in

terms of dealer addition in just a single quarter.

Page 7 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

Apoorv Agarwal:

So currently we are now entering into the new market for the

distribution, especially which I mentioned in Maharashtra, Gujarat,

Bangalore and Hyderabad means Karnataka and Telengana and with

the UNICO range of product also launched in the northern part where

we are strong like Delhi, Punjab, Haryana. We are reaching out to the

second set of dealers where the sale of PU is increasing now, so the set

of dealers is increasing, the set of dealers are expanding horizontally

and vertically. The more numbers are coming from the new markets

where we are entering with the UNICO PU, which has a very good price

advantage, good quality and the market for primary PU is increasing.

So the retailers are more attaching to us and every month we are

coming out with new dealers attached in the new directory. Besides

this in our existing strong area where we are strong with the Italian PU,

we are adding more retailers because the PU is now not only limited to

the top retailers, but the market share is increasing to the other

retailers where we are reaching out with the UNICO made in India. Few

where the response has started to come up and we are expecting the

momentum to grow faster and that is why we are quite confident that

in H2 we will be able to add even more retailers that we did in H1.

Vijay Chauhan:

So any internal target that we are targeting in the next couple of years

on the dealer number sign, let's say from 1700 to any rough claims that,

any color on that?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So at least we estimated in the beginning of the year that by the end of

this year we will cross at least 2000 retail points, keeping in mind our

distribution expansion. So we keep on that number and hopefully if

things go well, the momentum keeps on going like it has shown in H1.

Obviously the results in H2 can be much better.

Vijay Chauhan:

And on the new geography expansion that we mentioned like Gujarat

and Maharashtra. So what is the difference in terms of consumer

Page 8 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

behavior of price and sensitivity versus if we compare with the other

parts of India whether they are more price conscious or they are

looking for a quality, any difference that you're experiencing in the first

hand side.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So market compared to the northern and the eastern part of India it

behaves a little differently especially in Gujarat and Maharashtra when

it comes to the polyurethane coating. There is a sensitivity when it

comes to the pricing, and surprisingly these two are the markets which

end user to the retailer remains the contractor. That is why the price

sensitivity comes quite high. If we talk about northern India we are

more driven by the end consumer. Also, when it comes to the pricing

and our main influencer remains the contractor where we attract him

through our aggressive schemes, but on the contrary, when it comes to

Gujarat and Maharashtra the final thing that matters is the landing

price to the contractor because he actually remains the main buyer in

these markets. So there is quite a difference in terms of the pricing and

you know material replacement strategy when it comes to the Gujarat

and Maharashtra market, and on the other hand the product also,

there are certain products which are very fast moving compared to

Northern India where there are 8 to 10 products which contribute to

major turnover. On the contrary, in Maharashtra and Gujarat there are

like 4 products which contribute to major revenue when we read the

competition data. So yeah it is quite a different market and we are

learning every day and that is why we are implementing the right

strategy that is needed to enter the market. And it is slowly and

certainly paying us off. We are setting up our footprints with our depot

in Ahmedabad and Virar depot in Mumbai and the retail network is

increasing with almost 25-25 active dealers in Ahmedabad, Surat and

Mumbai each. So for a total 75 we expect that the numbers should now

Page 9 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

multiply quite fast and the number of retailers should also increase in

the coming months.

Vijay Chauhan:

And any branding, like change or like marketing expense we are

increasing, so any strategy change that we are doing on branding and

marketing side. Because now we are moving to become a national

brand versus geography specific. So any change in the marketing

strategy or something?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So obviously the plans, especially for related to marketing, are quite

aggressive. We have changed the brand perception and we have come

up with a new tagline called “Your Italian Autograph”. So we are already

reaching out to the consumer and all the influencers through 360

degree marketing platforms, including OTT, which we expect to happen

from Q4, because we still are in finalization of certain distributors in the

area like Chennai like a couple of areas in Kerala also in Kolkata. Though

we have signed up very good distributors in Telangana and Karnataka,

we are on the verge of completing our distribution footprint by Q3,

which will allow us to confidently get into the 360 degree marketing.

So Q4 marketing spend would increase but we are quite sure that we

will be able to balance it out with the cost reduction by resin plant

coming in by more products being manufactured in India, which we are

currently encoding. So this will allow us to freely increase the marketing

spend without compromising very strongly on the margins.

Vijay Chauhan:

And this quarter we had a very solid EBITDA margin of around 26.3%.

So in the steady state margin or like what is the normalized margin that

we look for a long term basis like a particular range. I'm not looking for

any like figure, number.

Apoorv Agarwal:

Going forward the sustainable margins, EBITDA margins that we see is

anything between 24% to 26%, keeping in mind that we are going to

Page 10 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

increase our marketing spend from Q4. Considering that we are now

available on a national level and we want to be a national brand, that

is why all the efforts that we have put in last two years is related to

completing the productivity and increasing the distribution step-by-

step has started paying us. Open with this with this marketing spend

and with the learnings of the other brands in the market we expect that

maybe for two quarters the EBITDA margins might get a little on the

lower side when the expenses on the marketing front increases

deliberately, but at the end of the day, as I mentioned that it will be

majorly contributed and balanced by the cost reductions that is

happening with the resin plant coming in, with certain products being

manufactured and with these advantages we will be able to neutralize

and long sustainable EBITDA margin is anything above 23% what I can

say.

Vijay Chauhan:

And from the resin plant, any improvement in margin in terms of like

percentage. Have we like finalize or is it too soon to mention, like

maybe 1% can we expect on the gross margin side?

Apoorv Agarwal:

The gross margin side, see we the resins contribute to almost 40% of

the product formula and currently we have started with NC and

melamine resins production which is still in quantity on the lower side.

Now we are moving towards the PU once the product life is being

tested because the testing cycle for these resins has to be respected as

per the Italian norms, because it is monitored by our Italian

counterparts, so we expect that very soon we will start with the PU

resins also. But yeah, it will. Since 40% is the contribution, we will

reduce almost by 7% to 10%. So the total percentage benefit that we

will have will be between 3% to 5%.

We have our next question from the line of Aakash Javeri from

Perpetual Investment Advisors. Please go ahead.

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

Aakash Javeri:

Sorry. I joined the call a little late so in case my questions are a little

repetitive, apologies for that. My first question is that do we increase

our team strength by 100 in one quarter because the last quarter

presentation said 395 is our team strength. So have we increased our

team by 25%? Or if you could just throw some light on that?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So the team expansion is happening on all fronts. It is happening on the

sales side and also on the back end and the plant side. So with the new

resin plan coming in, we have new people, including chemist, joining

for the for the resin area we have entered into the new distribution and

new territories like not again very strongly, so the sales team in the

South and Gujarat, Maharashtra are getting on board very aggressively.

So yes on the manpower side, on the team personal side we have

added a lot of new people in all the departments.

Aakash Javeri:

And my next question is that we see some improvement in the working

capital cycle. So do we see any further improvement or would this be

sustainable over a period of time?

Apoorv Agarwal:

No, in H2 we are expecting a lot of reduction in the working capital

cycle. In H1, especially on the stock side we were very high because of

the seasonal problems that we face from Italy. Like in August they

remain closed and we have to order stock in advance in order to be safe

enough to have enough material for Q3, and secondly because of the

Russia Ukraine thing because of the gas problem they were expecting

that they might hold their plants for some time. So keeping in mind all

the information that we had from Sirca Italy, we had to stock a bit

more. So H1 shows a very steep increase in the inventory side, which

will be quite controlled in H2 so altogether in H2 we will see a better

performance on the working capital side.

Aakash Javeri:

Also, if you. Could just throw some light on the revenue split between

Italian PU, UNICO and paints in H1.

Apoorv Agarwal:

Almost 67% of the contribution was coming from the Italian PU, other

25% was coming from UNICO and the thinner, and rest was coming

from the wall paint, San Marco and our wood filler range.

Aakash Javeri:

OK, and also if you could update about the export markets like Nepal,

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Dubai.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So Nepal touchwood is starting to move on a positive momentum. We

had good consignments going in currently like full container loads and

it is up the momentum quite well with our distributors Reliance Paints.

In Bangladesh, we are yet to sign up with the distributor. In Sri Lanka

we have started some movement with a couple of OEM's coming

through our local distributor. Provide them there though the retail sale

with him has not begun big considering all the disturbance that Sri

Lanka had in past but the OEM business is going on. We exported about

15-16-20 thousand dollars in the last couple of months. But, we are

expecting that within this financial year, Sri Lanka and Nepal would

start performing regularly in terms of export and Bangladesh we expect

that we will close the distributor within this financial year.

Aakash Javeri:

OK, and also if you could talk about the progress on the 1st

consignment of hot melt glue and how it has been received by the

OEM's.

Apoorv Agarwal:

The fewer samples that came, the results were related to the hot melt

glue, especially with customers like Godrej and people who are waiting

for IKEA is excellent. And now we will enter with this specialized glue

very soon in the market, especially with the OEM. But on the other

hand with this product moving in, we are more excited for our second

step, which is the white glue which we intend to produce here in India

Page 13 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

only. So though we have delayed our projects, but as rightly said that

the wood coating market is becoming quite aggressive. You see a lot of

happening in the wood coating a lot of non-paint players are also

entering this segment. So we are seeing a lot of happening and we are

putting all our energy concentration on the wood coating by increasing

our distribution as this product is becoming primary rather than

secondary. So we see that in the next couple of quarters the

momentum towards the glue wood also starts happening.

Aakash Javeri:

Also, would white glue be our retail product?

Apoorv Agarwal:

white glue we will enter in retail with the margin strategy margin to the

retailer strategy.

Aakash Javeri:

OK, and the next question is that if you plan to manufacture shift Italian

products here in India, does it open opportunities for exports or two

other markets due to the war. Like any new markets or new

opportunities for the company.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So we were exploring this with this separately already during our last

couple of visits. Also recently we discussed this, though it is a

complicated structure. But once it started, I think we will find a way to

export to certain other countries besides Sri Lanka, Nepal and

Bangladesh.

Aakash Javeri:

OK, and just my last question was if you could talk about the year-on-

year change in all the segments like Italian PU or UNICO.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So in terms of Italian, we are up by almost 10%-12%. But on the UNICO

front it is more than 30%.

Aakash Javeri:

And on wall paints

Apoorv Agarwal:

Wall paints are almost at the same level. It's not shown any growth.

Moderator:

Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Vijay Chauhan

from Right Horizon Portfolio Management. Please go ahead.

Vijay Chauhan:

So like any update on the contract manufacturing side like when it was

mentioned a couple of quarters back so any opportunity that we are

finding in the contract manufacturing side or not?

Apoorv Agarwal:

To be frank, we have not explored the contract manufacturing area.

Currently, all the manufacturing that we are doing is for our own brand

for the Indian and the export market, but we have not explored that

particular vertical.

Vijay Chauhan:

And there was some mention regarding the stake increased by the Sirca

Italy side. Any update on that?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So Sirca Italy stakes discussion is still going on, where during our last

couple of visits as I mentioned when I was answering the last question

that we have made them for the sort of things, and with this we are

starting to produce six of the products in India. So considering all the

unrest that is happening in Europe related to the Ukraine thing and

with the gas war it was a bit on delay. I hope once we start

manufacturing the six products that are manufactured in Italy. In India,

which will happen in less than a month now that we expect then this

old discussion would come to a conclusion, so I hope it should happen

within this financial year.

Vijay Chauhan:

And lastly on like we are eating now, all time high, quarterly revenue

and profit. So any target that we are internally keeping in the next

couple of years like what should be our annual top line FY25 or maybe

FY 26.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So we are planning to grow at least by 25% to 30% annual CAGR, so we

keep to be conservative. So keeping in mind all the happenings that are

Page 15 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

happening in the wood coating market there is a lot of increase in the

demand side and parallelly we are coming out as a national pair. We

are increasing our distribution so we still believe that these numbers

are conservative. But yeah, we are quite aggressive that we will grow

at a decent percentage for the next three to five years for sure.

Moderator:

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. We have our next question from the

line of Rakesh Pal from Peace, Wealth Capital. Please go ahead.

Rakesh Pal:

I have one more question. May I know the revenue split in as per region

wise? Like how much is the revenue cost from NE SW like that.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So if we talk about the revenue split still almost 60% is coming from the

northern part of India which contributes Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, UP,

UK and Uttarakhand including the retail and the OEMs and almost 25%

is coming from the Maharashtra which includes the OEMs and rest is

coming from the southern part of India and East. East is still the least

contributor when it comes to our revenue contribution.

Rakesh Pal:

And Sir, in terms of growth, which part of India is contributing more

towards our growth?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So for the growth all the parts are contributing. In fact, the north is also

contributing because we are entering into the new retailers, we are

entering with the new product and since we are present here strong,

we get the results very fast. But on the other hand, Gujarat and

Maharashtra, especially the metro cities like Ahmedabad, Surat and.

Mumbai they are the two tier cities and the upcoming Townshend. Or

they are quite aggressively now starting to contribute to the growth in

the revenue, so we expect that in H2, especially the Karnataka,

Telangana, Maharashtra and Gujarat, these four will be contributing

quite a decent numbers to the retail sales and on the other hand North

will be still the most growth provider. Keeping in mind that we are

Page 16 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

strong here we have a strong brand presence and we are increasing our

dealer footprint with the newer range of the products.

Rakesh Pal:

And Sir, as you can see spoke that they like, there might be some

problem in production in Italy due to this Russia and Ukraine war, so

can we expect any problem regarding that, like some unavailability of

paints in the second-half? Is there any chance like that?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So as per the instructions of Sirca Italy we have stocked ourselves quite

well. We are secured when it comes to the Italian product stocks till

February end. So the problem that could happen is in the month of

December in January when they face a lot of extreme winters. And with

the gas problem there, there might be notification, where industries

might have to shut because they cannot use gas as they have to prefer

the residences first. So keeping in mind the world’s position also we are

quite secured with the products for now if I give you an update they

are still operating and we are still accepting the orders till 15th of

December so means that the consignment that will leave by 15th of

December will ensure us that we have enough stock till March and

April, so we feel quite secured in terms of the stocks from Italy and this

problem also is only for the winters, then this gas shortage might

happen and they might have to shut.

Moderator:

Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Hemant Shah

from Asian Market Securities. Please go ahead.

Hemant Shah:

For FY23, what could be the revenue contribution from UNICO

products, Sir?

Apoorv Agarwal:

From FY23 total contribution from UNICO range of products, including

the thinner will be around 35%.

Thank you. We have our next question from the line of Aditya Mehta

from GK Capital. Please go ahead.

Aditya Mehta:

So Sir, just want your views about a variation in the guidance. So earlier

we were guiding about 50% to 60% growth per year for the next four

to five years. And moreover, on the dealer edition side in Q4, our

guidance was that we've had around 150 to 200 dealers per month,

which has now changed to 2000 dealers overall by end of FY 23. So just

wanted to understand what caused this change in the guidance.

Apoorv Agarwal:

See when it comes to the dealer edition, as I told you that we have

added almost around 300 dealers in Q2 and we expect that another

300 plus dealers are going to add in the next couple of quarters. The

numbers will remain almost in line with what we expected. Since that

we are going out to start the retailer wherein we are starting to work

with reasonable numbers. So for example in Kerala initially we added

almost 100 odd dealers out of which a lot of dealers became inactive

or with a very less sale of 6 liters. Currently we are coming out with

them. Policy wherein each dealer contributes a minimum of ₹50,000 of

sale, so a slight change in terms of financial agreement with the retailer

is coming out with a yearly billing of minimum 6 lakh, so that is by

keeping in mind we are quite confident that every two quarter 100 to

150 retailers still will be added. So we expect that monthly above 50 to

60 dealers will be added which will be actively working with us with the

policy of minimum 50,000 billing a month, which includes UNICO,

Italian PU. So with these numbers we expect that we will be able to add

to our revenue the actual numbers that we expect in H2, which shows

a decent growth compared to H1. Related to the revenue growth as I

mentioned in my previous statement also that with the conservative

approach, we are expecting a minimum of 25% to 30% CAGR growth

which we mentioned that aggressively. We are expecting a 40% CAGR

Page 18 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

growth every year. Considering the external environment sectors,

everything, we currently if we talk about we are quite excited and we

see the wood coating market going aggressively with our distribution

increasing very aggressively with UNICO products coming in and picking

it up very fast in the new directory with six products of Italy coming in.

We started manufacturing in India in the coming months, so we expect

that the momentum will pick up and we will shift our gears and will

move towards a very aggressive growth. But to be on the conservative

side, we mentioned the numbers to be 25%-30%, but we expect that

we will grow at a very aggressive rate of above 40% if we talk about the

CAGR growth.

Aditya Mehta:

So next year we are targeting full utilization further or new capacity

which we have been commissioned.

Apoorv Agarwal:

We are expecting it to be above 210-220 crore revenue from the

facility.

Aditya Mehta:

So going ahead, we might need some more capacities in order to

achieve this growth rate target, which we have set for ourselves. So

what are the Capex plans for further years?

Apoorv Agarwal:

So we have already planned to increase capacity in our existing plant

by adding six fully automated 3 tons mixtures where the Capex will be

about 3 to 4 odd crores. Since currently we have a 1500 liter tank now

we'll be moving to 3 ton tank. For the further we will be adding six more

times, which will add almost 18,000 liters in a single shift every day,

increasing in the production side. Beside this for sure, as I told you, the

Coimbatore plant which is still on hold, will aggressively being taken up

in the next couple of months so we will come out with the increase in

new capacity in the Coimbatore in the South part of India, so another

about 5 to 8 odd crore Capex plan there. So altogether about 12 crore

Page 19 of 21

Sirca Paints India Ltd Nov 14, 2022

Capex plan in terms of increasing the production of UNICO and Italian

PU we plan in next one year.

Aditya Mehta:

And sir regarding our Italian products which will be manufacturing over

here. So these will manufacture along the UNICO range of products

with the same raising capacity that we have commissioned.

Apoorv Agarwal:

So this will be the parallel range product. The UNICO range will go as it

is and this will be the newer range. The resins that we are using in the

UNICO are different and for the Italian the resins will be altogether

different. This will not be the same.

Aditya Mehta:

And this will happen, increasing the margin in those products. Am I

right?

Apoorv Agarwal:

Absolutely 100%

Aditya Mehta:

OK, and so my last question regarding other financial assets has

increased from 1.27 crores to 24 crores. So what was the main reason

behind this?

Apoorv Agarwal:

that is majorly the short term liquid funds. We have invested a part in

the liquid fund.

Aditya Mehta:

And going ahead of Capex, which we have plans but it will be funded

from internal approvals.

Apoorv Agarwal:

Yes.
