Future Consumer

- Future Consumer Enterprise Limited (FCEL) has already tied up a fund raise of US$75 million (approx. Rs. 5,000 million) through equity. - The equity raise includes $45 million from Proterra, $10 million warrants issued to promoters (25% money received), and $20 million commitment from International Finance Corporation. - This equity infusion aims to substantially reduce the company's net debt from Rs. 5,580 million to around Rs. 2,000-2,500 million by FY'17. - The raised equity will also fuel growth and cover CAPEX requirements. - FCEL does not anticipate raising additional debt in the near term; cash positions are comfortable post equity raise and debt repayments. - The company expects EBITDA improvements to further aid debt reduction without immediate future debt raising. - No other specific future fundraising through debt or equity was mentioned in the call.

- For FY'16, FCEL incurred approx. Rs. 1,150 mn in CAPEX, with two-thirds spent on manufacturing asset creation (Food Park facilities, mills, Oats factory in Sri Lanka, and acquisition of Kara). - For FY'17, expected CAPEX is Rs. 600 mn to Rs. 800 mn mainly for: - Expanding backend facilities like Food Park, rice, flour, and spice mills. - Creating manufacturing facility for the Wafers Biscuit category (fastest growing category). - Strategic investments include the planned launch of new brands/products such as Kosh (Oats) and Swiss Tempelle (personal care JV with Mibelle), scheduled between next two to three months and August-September respectively. - The company is focusing on differentiated offerings and new age categories, which may require continued strategic investments.

- FY'16 revenue around Rs. 17,000 mn; aiming to double in FY'17 to Rs. 35,000-40,000 mn. - Targeted growth rate of approximately 30% per annum. - Existing brands expected to drive about two-thirds of growth; new brands to contribute one-third. - Expansion planned through increased distribution in General Trade, Modern Trade, and Kirana stores. - Ongoing launches of new brands like Kosh (oats) and Swiss Tempelle (HPC) to add to growth. - Geographic expansion with new city launches such as Varanasi and Allahabad for brands like Tasty Treat. - Brand Tasty Treat grew over 100% recently; Staples grew 25-30%, showing scope for disproportionate growth. - Emphasis on differentiated products and new age categories rather than mainstream FMCG segments. - Distribution expansion including ~3,000-4,000 stores for Think Skin and tie-ups with government for 5,000 stores.

- FCEL reported EBITDA positive with Rs. 30 million EBITDA for FY'16, expects improvement going forward. - EBITDA margin targeted to rise from current ~3% to approximately 8% in the next 2-3 years. - Sanjay Jain indicated 6-8 quarters away from PBT positive (profit before tax positive), expecting to absorb depreciation and finance charges by FY'18. - Revenue growth targeted around 30% annually; potential for doubling top-line from Rs. 17,000 mn to Rs. 35,000-40,000 mn in FY'17. - Gross margins increased by 2.65% in FY'16; expected further expansion by 2-3% as higher margin FMCG category contribution rises. - Debt reduction planned from Rs. 5,580 mn to Rs. 2,000-2,500 mn by FY'17, strengthening balance sheet for growth. - Operating leverage expected as semi-fixed costs grow slower than revenue; improving operational profitability. - Overall, FCEL aims for steady growth in earnings driven by brand expansion, margin improvement, and debt reduction.
