• Invest at reasonable or relatively cheaper valuations • Mispriced buys protect downside and have a higher re-rating potential

Hexagon: Investment Strategy explained

Consistent excellence

Corporate action

• Steady growth in profits • Cheap valuation

• Value unlocking due to special situations

Climbing the value curve

Turnaround companies

• Better product mix • Forward integration, rising margins

• Erstwhile winners who faltered, but are coming back now

Emerging industry leaders

Counter cyclical

• Leaders in relatively new industries • Fast growing stocks

• Performance negatively correlated with the overall economy • Good hedge to standard market declines

Illustrations of our approach

11

Consistent Excellence : APL Apollo Tubes Ltd. APL APOLLO TUBES LTD. APL Apollo Tubes Ltd

•

APL Apollo Tubes (APL) makes steel pipes that find application across a wide range of uses in agriculture, infrastructure, construction and household.

•

Due to scale economies and distributed manufacturing, it is the lowest cost manufacturer commanding market share that is 3X the market share of the No.2 player (Tata, Jindal)

•

To further fortify its position and maintain leadership, the company has introduced new technology DFT (Direct Forming Technology) which will enable APL to decrease the cost further and expand customer base.

•

With GST implementation, APL is in a strong position to grab market share from unorganized players which is 50% of the tube industry. Based on the shift from unorganized to organized, new use-cases (import substitution, rust-proof), new markets (exports) and margin expansion (DFT technology), we expect the company to deliver strong EPS growth of 47% CAGR over FY18E-20E

Turnaround Companies: Himadri Sp. Chem. Ltd HIMADRI SPECIALITY CHEMICAL LTD (HSCL) Himadri Sp. Chem. Ltd

•

Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd (HSCL) continues to be a market leader in its core business of coal tar pitch (CTP) with a 70% market share and is a cost leader in carbon black and CTP due to integrated manufacturing.

•

It was able to improve margins from 9% in FY15 to 20% plus in H1FY18 due to better pricing arrangement with its customers. The margins would further improve as HSCL looks to expand capacities.

•

A new opportunity in the form of Advanced Carbon materials (ACM) is also taking shape.

•

ACM finds application in Lithium Ion batteries. ACM should be a key growth driver with the demand for Lithium Ion batteries skyrocketing.

•

Profit margins in ACM are superior and volume growth rate is quite rapid.

•

HSCL could become the lowest cost producer in this segment as well, as they are fully backward integrated. We expect the company to deliver strong EPS growth of 37% CAGR over FY18E-20E

Consistent Excellence: Mold-Tek Packaging Ltd MOLD-TEK PACKAGING LTD Mold-Tek Packaging Ltd

•

Mold-Tek Packaging Ltd (MTPL) is into manufacturing of plastic containers used in paint, FMCG and lubricant packaging and its ability to integrate backward has resulted in 35% lower capital and variable costs.

•

Packaging being an integral function for B2C companies, IML Packaging (In-Mould Labeling) is better compared to screen printing (older technology) as brand visibility (as seen on the container which does not peel off) remain for a longer period of time.

•

FMCG players have shown interest in adopting this new technology and revenue is growing quite rapidly.

•

Another source of growth is expansion into the Middle East market where MTPL has set up a plant.

•

The stock is an excellent long term consumption play with limited competition. The EPS is set to grow at 39% CAGR over FY18E-FY20E.

•

Shree Pushkar Chemicals & Fertilisers Ltd (Shree Pushkar) is a dye intermediates (DI) manufacturer and is forward integrating into dyes stuff (DS) manufacturing. Dyes are colouring agents which are mainly used in textile.

•

In an industry where effluent treatment is a major risk for sustenance of the business, Shree Pushkar has achieved status of ‘zero-waste plant’. They have achieved that by converting effluents into saleable products like fertilizer.

322

•

The company is “moving up the value curve” by forward integrating into dye-stuffs. It is in the process of establishing its own brand as well.

130

•

The company is expanding capacity backed by orders from MNCs and establishing its own brand. We expect 21% PAT CAGR over FY18E-20E.

Investment Process

Small-Midcaps- High Returns ≠ High Risk  Larger Selection Pool allows for high rejection- Investable Pool for Small-Midcaps is 5x of large caps

 High Rejection rate ensures cherry picking stocks with strong fundamentals- Out of 100 companies we reject 80 companies  Stringent Stock selection process and diversification lowers the risk

Risk Management Framework

Diversification

Review

20 Stock Portfolio

No Over Exposure to single sector

Stock Liquidity

Time Diversification (SOP,COP)

Spend 50% of time revisiting stocks within portfolio

Regularly meet management, and track quarterly results/news

19

Risk Management - Time Diversification Why Time diversification ? Certain events are un predictable (Brexit, China, Interest rates etc) Benefit from short term volatility Dollar Cost Averaging principle - Potential for lower average cost of buying

Client On-boarding Protocol* (COP)

*Assuming target equity weight in portfolio for client is 100%

How do we do that ? New clients or New stocks are on-boarded in 3 tranches over 30 days  COP – Client On boarding Protocol  SOP – Stock On boarding Protocol

Stock On-boarding Protocol** (SOP)

**Assuming target weight of 5% in each stock

Note: In few cases portfolio manager might take new clients or stocks directly to Step 2 /Step 3 of COP/SOP depending upon the market scenario.
