 Company confident of delivering 60-70% CAGR over next 3 years: Dixon Tech

Edited Excerpts of an interview with Atul Lall, Managing Director, Dixon Tech with CNBCTV18 on 24th Dec, 2021:

  • According to broker report the company is expected to deliver 60-70% sales CAGR over the next 3 years. Mr Lall stated that the company is confident of delivering these numbers.
  • The company has grown from Rs 44 bn in FY20 to Rs 64 bn in revenues in FY21. The company is targeting to reach Rs 110 bn in FY22E even after Jun-21 quarter being weak due to Covid-19. It expects revenue to be in the range of Rs 170 bn in FY23E. He is confident of this aggressive growth and to be in the lead position in its sector.
  • On the margin front, FY22E has been extremely difficult year for Dixon, particularly for Original Design Manufacturing business. Softening of commodity prices has been seen both in polymer and metal side over the past few weeks. A decline in the freight cost is also been witnessed recently and is relatively stable at present.
  • In B2B (Business to Business) there is a lag in passing off the cost increases to the customers. Company expects to pass on the price increases by next (Mar-22E) quarter but in the Dec-21 quarter the margins are expected to be under pressure.
  • The chip shortage situation has improved slightly but the situation is not fully under control. Most of the companies including Dixon have aligned their forecasting, have started building more inventories and are well aware of the longer lead times. The production situation is much better but the chip shortage problem has not been resolved yet.
  • There was a Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) survey in Tirupati plant and corporate office pertaining to Television vertical. The issues raised by DRI were interpretational in nature. The company extended all the possible support to the officers and the company is committed to defend its stand in front of DRI.
  • Focus of FY22E – Dixon has got into Mobile vertical and it is expected to be the growth driver going forward and to contribute significantly to the total revenue of the company.
  • Dixon has got into a Joint Venture with Bharti and have got the approval under the telecom verdict to manufacture consumer premises devices. It is expected to start manufacturing from Mar-22E quarter for Airtel. In FY23E a huge ramp up is expected by the company from Mobile vertical.
  • Dixon have tied up with some major customers for manufacturing IT products, a ramp up in its production is expected.
  • Dixon have launched fully automatic top loading machines which is expected to contribute to the growth from FY23E.
  • Dixon is also rolling out Refrigerator products, the production of the same is expected to start from 4QFY22E. A reasonably good growth is expected to be seen from the existing verticals.
  • Under the PLI scheme: The company have started production and investment on IT hardware side, telecom Side and white boards. Backward integration for lighting products under PLI scheme is under process. Company expects to start the production of components of lighting products from 1QFY23E.

 

Asset Multiplier Comments

  • We think Dixon is one of the largest beneficiaries of the government’s PLI scheme and new segments such as electronics/IT products, telecom products and LED lights & AC component will help the company to achieve its target of 60% CAGR for over next 3 years.
  • Domestic mobile production is set to grow under PLI scheme. We believe Dixon is one of the main beneficiaries which will drive future revenue for Dixon.

Among the stocks, KOTAKBANK (+2.4%), HCLTECH (+2.2%), and HDFCLIFE (+1.7%) led the gainers while BPCL (-2.6%), SUNPHARMA (-2.3%), and ADANIPORTS (-2.1%) led the losers.

Excerpts of an interview with Mr. Atul Lall, MD of Dixon Tech India (DIXON) with CNBC TV18 on 26th November 2021:

  • DIXON is a beneficiary of PLI scheme for IT hardware and it has tied up with Acer, a Taiwanese IT hardware firm for manufacturing laptops. The company has already started manufacturing laptops in its in-house facility for Acer.
  • From the laptop segment, the company expects to achieve a minimum targeted revenue of Rs 500 mn in the 1st year of manufacturing. From 2nd year onward, the company expects to achieve a PLI scheme upward revenue ceiling of Rs 6bn, Rs 16bn, and Rs 24bn respectively.
  • DIXON’s laptop segment being a prescriptive business (DIXON work based on Acer’s laptop designs), the operating margins will be in around of 4%.
  • The company’s capex for FY22 is expected to be Rs 4,500 mn, out of which the capex for laptop segment will be Rs 200 mn. In FY23, the capex is expected to increase to Rs 2500 mn.
  • Speaking of its segments, the company has a healthy order book for mobiles. It is also planning to enter in a JV with Bharti Airtel to provide telecom related products, IoT (Internet of Things) devices. The company is also launching LED monitors in the 4QFY22. The company’s revenue target for FY23E is around Rs 170 – Rs 175 bn.
  • Company’s ODM (old design machines) business is facing commodity price increase pressure and there’s a lag in passing on the price increase to its customers. The company is seeing some softening in prices. It expects margin pressures to remain in the short term, but later it will be able to pass it on to the customers.
  • 90% of the company’s own design revenues come from the lighting segment. Due to its large scale in this segment, the company is able to benefit from operating leverage. The margin pressure easing is happening in the segment.

 

Asset Multiplier Comments

  • The laptop segment revenue estimates seem to increase exponentially. As it’s a prescriptive business, with low operating margins, it may take several quarters for the company to meaningfully benefit for the segment.
  • The markets for laptops, mobiles, and IoT devices are quite competitive. Therefore, we may have to see how company’s plans for its new segments pan out.
  • As the world is concerned with fear of Omicron Covid-19 variant spread, it may lead to stricter sanitation rules within the country, and may also result in lockdowns if the conditions worsen. This may affect the manufacturing and planned executions of new product launches of DIXON.

Consensus Estimate: (Source: market screener website)

  • The closing price of DIXON was ₹ 5,005/- as on 29-Nov-2021. It traded at 114x/65x/47x the consensus earnings estimate of ₹ 45/78/108 for FY22E/FY23E/FY24E respectively.
  • The consensus target price of ₹ 4986/- implies a PE multiple of 46x on FY24E EPS of ₹ 108/-.

  • He estimates FY21 revenue to be around Rs 62-63 bn, which is a decent growth over last year’s revenue of almost Rs 44 bn. They will also have growth in profitability.

Asset Multiplier comments:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impact across all walks of life, and the electronics industry is no exception as it has also suffered a decline in growth. This is a temporary phase – especially for consumer electronics and appliances – as some of these devices have grown to be an integral part of our lives.
  • The electronics industry is basically divided into two categories—industrial electronics and consumer electronics. The latter has witnessed more growth than the former due to its popularity among consumers and because of more foreign direct investment in it. 
  • The industrial electronics segment in India is still facing challenges because of various taxation policies and the lack of an ecosystem for manufacturing components.

Consensus Estimate: (Source: market screener and investing.com websites)

  • The closing price of DIXON was ₹ 3,635/- as of 30-March-2021.  It traded at 122x/ 67x/ 49x the consensus earnings estimate of ₹ 29.7/ 54.5/ 74.4 for FY21E/22E/23E respectively.
  • The consensus price target is ₹ 3,288/- which trades at 44x the earnings estimate for FY23E of ₹ 74.4/-

The government on Wednesday levied a 5% duty on the import of TV parts like chips, printed circuit board assemblies, and glass boards. Reacting to the development, Mr. Lall said that the industry has been requesting the government to correct the disparity for a very long time.
After the recent decision by the government, the duty on both pure and open cell is at 5%. The localization on LED and LCD TV parts too is positive for coming quarters.
He said that the government has stated that LED will be covered under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme. The final details about it are still to be announced. If this development takes place then it gives an additional impetus for exports of LED lighting products to the company.
The company has expanded the capacity of LED TVs from 3.6mn to 4.4mn in phase-I. The company further plans to expand the capacity to 5.5mn sets (>30% of India’s requirement). The expansion will be completed by March 2021.
