Change in Estimates Target Reco
14 August 2017
Intrasoft Technologies
Accelerated growth trade-off with margins; Buy
Intrasoft’s growth-rate recovery continued Q1 as well with revenue
growing 21.6% y/y to $40m (Q4 growth was 17% y/y, Q3 6%). Orders
delivered (company no longer discloses) were estimated at ~0.7m, up
12% y/y. Average realisation seems to have improved to over $57 in Q1
(up 9% y/y estimated). The EBITDA margin was 1.5% (down 56bps
y/y). We cut our FY19e PAT ~14%, due to currency movements,
competition and cash-focus (may lead to some margin sacrifice in the
short run). We retain a Buy, at a revised target of `530 (25x FY19e EPS,
higher PE on growth acceleration).
Current priority is to drive long-term sustainable revenue growth.
Strong recovery in revenue growth in the last three quarters (up 6% y/y in Q3
FY17, 17% in Q4 FY17 and 22% in Q1 FY18), demonstrates the ability to
create a robust technology-driven model and expand its catalogue across the
product categories. As competitive intensity is currently high, the company is
focusing on gaining market share by sharing margin-expansion benefits with
customers. This strategy may be revisited in a year’s time.
Laser-sharp focus on FCF generation. The company’s focus on increasing
cash-flow generation (and achieving self-funded growth without external
capital) through a mix of greater inventory efficiency and supplier credit is
paying off, as inventory days during the quarter have improved from 26 (excl.
in-transit) in Q1 FY17 to 23 (including in-transit) in Q1 FY18. With limited
capex required and easing working capital (increased payable days), the
company is able to generate enough free cash to fund growth.
Valuations. Factoring in the lower sales estimates (due to adverse currency
movements and the erosion in gross margins), we cut our FY18e and FY19e
margin ~30bps and ~18bps, but expect that improving working capital (and,
thereby, FCF) would result in higher RoEs. Risk: Business-model transition.

Valuations
On the company consistently reporting greater profit, we have altered
our valuation method to PE (from EV:sales a few quarters back). We
value the stock at a PE of 25x FY19e EPS and retain our Buy
recommendation, with a revised target price of `530 (earlier `550).
Given the market size in e-commerce and the current company size,
growth doesn’t seem to be a problem for it, and we see growth
accelerating in FY18 and persisting in FY19. Management believes that
the growth rate will return to 30-35% in FY18.
Over the years, the company has evolved as one of the fastest-growing
3P retailers in the US by building strong relationships with vendors,
and has displayed its superior customer service and logistics
capabilities. We expect it to deliver superior returns to investors as
sales momentum persists and it achieves a meaningful scale.

Risks
Business-environment risk: Intrasoft sells products in the US
through its 3P reselling brand, Stores123, on Amazon as well as
through its own website. Controlling the business environment
currently are e-commerce platform-owners such as Amazon; hence,
pricing power and customer loyalty lies with them. But 3P players also
play an important role in a platform owner’s scaling up; hence, there is
a case for a sustained profitable business.

Client-concentration risk: The largest customer is Amazon, the
dominant operator in the global e-commerce market. Therefore, there
is the possibility of Amazon dealing directly with manufacturers (of
popular products).
Product-liability risk: Intrasoft only sells brand-named products
registered with the US government. Even though its liability is only
limited to transit, a fault in products could damage its brand perception
in the US.
