Jan-Feb20 revenues grew ~33% YoY, highlighting strong performance in the pre COVID-19 period. We have cut our standalone FY21E/FY22E revenue estimates by 10%/9% due to the prolonged lockdown. 4QFY20 standalone revenue grew 8% YoY to INR7.2b (4% above est.), despite the lockdown in Mar20. Revenues in Jan- Feb20 grew 33%, which implies ~42% decline in the Mar20 (according to our calculations). Revenues were driven by Westside, which saw flattish sales at INR6b whereas Zudio revenues grew ~110% YoY to INR1.1b (according to our working), reflecting strong revenue growth in the pre COVID-19 era. Standalone EBITDA was at INR929 (up 175% YoY) due to Ind-AS 116 impact. Ind-AS 116, EBITDA declined ~90% YoY to INR29m, due to higher rent expense. Standalone PBT declined to INR67m (64% YoY). Pre-Ind-AS 116, PBT stood at INR104m (down 43% YoY), which was supported by higher other income.

Trent reported better than expected topline. SSSG and revenue growth were on strong trajectory during Jan'20 and Feb'20. However, Mar'20 witnessed steep decline in revenue (-42% per our estimate). Positively, c. 88% standalone stores are now operational. However, c. 70% stores are in mall which is expected to take some more time (by June'20) to resume operations. Superior control over inventory (100% stores company operated) and robust supply chain, strongly positions Trent to equip their stores with fast selling essential-inventories (this will drive better store through-put). Considering last 56 days (c. 15% of annual no. of days) complete shutdown of all the...

The Covid-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impact on retail industry, forcing temporary closure of physical stores from mid-March onwards in India. The same materially impacted Trent's performance in Q4FY20. In the apparel space, Trent has been a consistent outperformer with robust revenue growth (30%+ growth in previous three quarters). However, the revenue trajectory got de-railed significantly in Q4FY20. Standalone revenues (including Westside, Zudio formats) grew 8.1% YoY to | 722.8 crore in Q4FY20. The management highlighted that for January-February,...

Trent (3QFY20): Clockwork-like growth continues. Maintain NEUTRAL

Neutral: Trent Ltd.

Recommendation Target

HDFC Securities

While execution remains top-notch, Trent seems priced to perfection with little on the table for investors at 33x FY22 EV/EBITDA. That said, we revise EBITDA estimates upwards by 4-5% for FY21/22 primarily to factor in lower cost of retailing. This coupled with our DCF roll-over for standalone biz and Zara to FY22 bumps up our SOTP-based TP to Rs. 580/sh (earlier Rs. 490). We bake in 28/30/41% revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR and a 440bp improvement in RoIC (ex-investments in JVs/subsidiaries over FY19-22E. Maintain NEUTRAL. Westsides clockwork-like growth continues. Trents flagship format grew 22% YoY in 9MFY20. SSSG came in at 12% - healthiest within our retail universe. We estimate Zudio to have more than doubled top-line over 9MFY20, however, we suspect productivity may have dipped. Gross margin continues to dip as 1. Zudios skew increases in the revenue mix. Share in JV/associate losses have increased over 9MFY20. While the Westside format remains a winner in terms of unit store economics; the same for Zudio is yet to be tested in catchments without a corresponding Westside store as currently the former piggybacks on the supply chain of Westside.

Westside continues to be one of the most successful, established franchises, deriving 97% of share of revenues from private label brands. Over the last six years, Westside has sustained its same stores sales growth at 7%+, outperforming peers in the industry. Exceptional ramp up in store addition in non-metro cites, mainly through Zudio format (value fashion business) is one of the major growth drivers in coming years. Robust performance in a challenging scenario instils confidence in the business model, which would enable the company to command premium valuation multiple on a...

Trent has reported above expected result during 3QFY20. SSSG at 12% for 9MFY20 (c. 10.5% in 3QFY20) compared to 5% SSSG in Pantaloons for 3QFY20 and 2% SSSG in TCNS is extremely positive. Decline in gross margin is led by rise in the revenue share of the value fashion format Zudio. PBT on like to like basis rose significantly due to higher other income. Trent continues to out-perform competition over past several quarters. We have revised our SSSG assumptions and EPS estimates upward based on 9-M actual performance. We expect Trent to continue outperform other apparel retailers in India led by disruptive pricing and superior business model. Based on recent run-up in the stock...

Zudio - Bazooka in the closet!

22 November 2019 The Zudio store and products have a trendy look and feel, offer only casual wear (no formals) and is targeted at young value-seeking consumers. The lower pricing has also been possible due to (a) passing-on of low gross margin benefits (~30% v/s Westsides 55%), and (b) no marketing costs (in line with Westside). Given the low gross margins, Zudios success lies in its strong turnover revenue/sqft of ~12-15k/sqft (v/s industry average of INR8-10k/sqft). Zudios high fashion appeal and sharp pricing has led to an encouraging store operating metrics. Therefore, a franchisees capex is INR15-20m for a store size of 6k sqft; in turn, a franchisee receives a fixed revenue share, while the company operates the store and retains the profitability. Typically, franchisees get ~16% revenue share and 12-15% IRR, while the company garners strong ROCE on merely one-month inventory capital.

Trent: Q2FY20 Result Review

Hold: Trent Ltd.

IDBI Capital

Overall result has been in line with our estimates. Westside continues to outperform its competitors based on strong same store sales growth performance during a period when consumption slowdown is at its peak. Decline in gross margin has been due to higher discount during end of season sale and increase in revenue share from Zudio. This is not too concerning as Trent, unlike branded retailers, is able to follow strict discounting policy; 2 months a year. Gross margin dilution coming from Zudio should not have significant spill-over EBITDA margin dilution impact. This is because, in value retailing its always high inventory turn (and not gross margin) which helps to build on...
