VBL’s strategy towards expanding the distribution network (3 Mn outlets, out of which, 0.4 Mn are exclusive for “Sting”), into new territories where it has very small market share indicates huge scope to grow. VBL is also benefitting from demand recovery after two consecutive years of pandemic related disruptions.
Varun Beverages Ltd. (VBL) a near monopoly of PepsiCo, is a solid play on the emerging beverage market in India. VBL’s focus towards PAN India expansion [reached 85% of Indian PepsiCo volume (26% in CY11) after acquiring South and West region], CAPEX for its backward integrated facilities (Pathankot and Jammu & Kashmir), improving product mix, huge scope to capture Indian soft drinks market (44 bottles per capita consumption in India v/s 1,496 bottles in USA) and debt reduction will promote further growth.
VBL has a diversified growth strategy, with multiple levers in place to drive its long-term growth. We expect volume growth momentum to continue, with: a) a gradual gain in market share on increasing penetration in underpenetrated markets, b) higher acceptance of recently launched products, and c) ramp-up of...
Varun will start contract manufacturing for Pepsi’s snack brand Kurkure Puffcorn and we believe it is a step in right direction. Depending on the Varun’s progress in Kurkure Puffcorn business, we expect Pepsi to offer more products and regions to Varun. As of now Varun will set up a plant in Uttar Pradesh for Rs200-250mn and will produce Kurkure Puffcorn.

Based on our channel checks, we believe Varun Beverages is likely to maintain strong double-digit volume growth, in line with earlier quarters. It has not yet raised prices of its products in spite of inflation in key raw materials such as sugar and PET (packaging material). It plans to focus on Eastern states and is on track to set up a new plant in Bihar. We also believe lockdown (if any) would likely have a negligible impact on the company’s sales as the lockdown is likely to be in Q1CY22 (non-season).
VBL posted robust volume growth, supported by growing out-of-home' consumption. The company reported a stable operating performance, despite rising input cost, due to an improvement in realization, benefitting from operating leverage and passing-on of RM prices. We maintain our earnings estimate for CY22E/CY23E, as the growth trajectory is expected to continue with the opening of business operations and traveling activities, coupled with strong support from newly launched products. We maintain our Buy rating with a TP of INR1,210 per share....
globally. The company produces & distributes carbonated drinks, juices & packaged drinking water in six countries including India.

In May'19, VBL acquired the franchisee rights to seven states Gujarat, parts of Maharashtra, parts of Karnataka, parts of Telangana, parts of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu in South and West India from PepsiCo. Prior to the acquisition, PepsiCo's market share had dropped over CY16-19 and penetration levels in the region were low. The management aims to improve distribution and penetration levels in the region. However, its expansion plans were hampered due to the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak....

At CMP, the stock trades at 14.7x EV/EBITDA CY23E which is attractive in our view. Maintain a BUY rating with a revised TP of Rs 900/share. Key Risks to our call are a) Resurgence of covid-19 cases, b) Likelihood of the 3rd wave and consequent lockdowns, and c) Sudden spike in RM prices.
Varun Beverage Limited (VBL) is the second largest franchisee in the world (outside US) of carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) and non-carbonated beverages (NCBs) sold under PepsiCo's trademarks.
While VBL is covered on key RMs (PET resin and manageable inflation in Sugar) we do tweak our estimates a shade to factor in lower margins in CY21/22 and revise our TP to Rs. 1,200/share (earlier Rs. 1,230) given near term growth challenges. Retain BUY.
Varun Beverages (VBL) reported a strong operating performance on the back of higher volume growth across the Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) and NonCarbonated Beverages (NCB) segments. Volumes increased 32% YoY to 151m unit-cases. This was primarily led by an increase in out-of-home...
With the increase in crude prices, PET resin prices have also gone up sharply in the last three months. Further, we expect sugar prices to increase ~15% in next one year. We believe these commodity prices would remain firm for a prolonged period of time, which would require certain amount of price hikes. However, we believe it would not be easy to take prices hikes given aggressive competition. Hence, we believe operating margins would remain under pressure. We expect 19.8%, 20.1% operating margins for CY021E,...
