CMP: ₹247.95
Target: ₹267
CCL Prdoucts’ EBITDA margins at 25 per cent in FY20 were the highest reported margins over the last five years. Key drivers for margins expansion were 1) rising contribution from higher margin freeze dried coffee (FDC); 2) small packs gaining traction; and 3) improved product mix. With the ramp up in capacity utilisation of FDC unit (about 50 per cent in FY20), 3,500 tonnes capacity addition in Vietnam and commissioning of agglomeration and packing capacity we believe there is further scope for margin expansion and volume growth going forward.
CCL Products’ foray into India’s branded coffee market with its brand ‘Continental Coffee’ bodes well in terms of capturing the ₹2,500-crore instant coffee market in India growing at 15 per cent a year. The brand recorded a robust growth of 40 per cent y-o-y at ₹55-crore during FY20 and had a 4 per cent market share in southern India according to management. For FY21, branded business is expected to report a robust 45 per cent y-o-y growth with revenue target of ₹80 crore owing to 1) healthy traction and encouraging consumers response’ 2) expansion of direct reach to 75,000 outlets from 60,000 currently; and 3) investing behind the brand through ATL/BTL activities especially in southern India.
We recommend Buy with target price of ₹267.

A letter from the Editor
Dear Readers,
The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.
Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.
In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.
We are trying our best to ensure the newspaper reaches your hands every day. We have also ensured that even if your paper is not delivered, you can access BusinessLine in the e-paper format – just as it appears in print. Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
But all this comes at a heavy cost. As you are aware, the lockdowns have wiped out almost all our entire revenue stream. Sustaining our quality journalism has become extremely challenging. That we have managed so far is thanks to your support. I thank all our subscribers – print and digital – for your support.
I appeal to all or readers to help us navigate these challenging times and help sustain one of the truly independent and credible voices in the world of Indian journalism. Doing so is easy. You can help us enormously simply by subscribing to our digital or e-paper editions. We offer several affordable subscription plans for our website, which includes Portfolio, our investment advisory section that offers rich investment advice from our highly qualified, in-house Research Bureau, the only such team in the Indian newspaper industry.
