● Concall Key Takeaways:
❖ Demand and pricing trends:
1. Destocking, unseasonal rainfalls, higher base led to a 12% YoY volume
decline in Q3. CPVC volumes rose 30%+ YoY, owing to strong demand.
However, PVC sales declined sharply.
2. Product mix (more CPVC sales) is the largest driver of improvement in
realization. RM and FG prices have been on a rise in CPVC. Expect it to
increase further, going forward. The company also expects PVC
demand to remain buoyant. PVC resin supply is expected to remain
tight globally and, hence, resin prices are not expected to go back to
the previous low levels.
3. Project sales comprise 20% of Prince’s current revenue. It is working
hard to expand its B2B sales and aiming to increase the share to ~25%
in the next few years.
4. Storefit (water tank) revenue run-rate has increased to INR
25-30mn/month (2% of topline).
❖ Industry trends:
1. Pipes' demand will face challenges in the short term. Bullish on-
demand in the medium to long term as real estate demand is expected
to be good. Government thrust on pipe water will be the main
contributor to improved demand.
2. PVC and CPVC supply: At the industry level, PVC supply has normalized.
A large European PVC manufacturer declared force majeure a few days
back, which can push resin prices up in the near term. CPVC supply is
still lower compared to demand.
3. Competition trend: Another organized player entering the pipe
segment from the allied segment is good for the industry, as it will lead
to better pricing. Pipes dealers normally stock about 30 days of
inventory. Amid the resin price fall, this fell sharply.
