Hi everyone. Welcome to today's Video.
[2]
So on today's video I'm going to have a discussion about
[5]
Cafe Coffee Day Enterprise and what was the reason why this stock has fallen
[9]
by 85% approximately and whether or not is this a great buying opportunity fee or is
[15]
it simply a value trap for retail investors?
[18]
So we are going to do a complete analysis
[20]
and please watch the video till the very end.
[22]
Please don't understand half the things and jump into buying this stock very
[26]
important message and also this is not a buying and selling recommendation.
[30]
Now before I jump into the nitty gritty of today's video, a very quick shout out
[34]
to our sponsors which is KuKu FM they're a fabulous audio learning platform.
[38]
You can go and listen to several audiobooks.
[41]
I'm currently listening to a show which is
[43]
around Indra Nooyi's life and how she built the PepsiCo Empire.
[47]
So I'm linking a few things that I'm listening to KuKu FM in the description
[50]
box and you can check it out and also available a very special offer from them.
[54]
So let's get the videos started.
[56]
And there are three specific parts.
[58]
First and foremost, I will help you understand what was
[60]
the reason for the fall of Coffee Day Enterprises.
[63]
The listed company name is Coffee Day Enterprises.
[66]
Whenever I say Coffee Coffee Day it simply means Coffee Day Enterprises.
[70]
Ccd is the business name and Coffee Day Enterprises is the listed company's name.
[74]
Second, what is the specific reason as
[76]
to why the stock is gaining so much prominence right now?
[79]
Should we believe all these narratives
[81]
and start jumping and taking positions in this stock?
[83]
Third and finally, I will tell you that how you should be
[86]
taking positions in this stock in case you are interested.
[89]
So let's get the analysis started.
[91]
So first let me take you to Coffee Day Enterprises.
[93]
Talk and help you understand how they are making money.
[96]
So you will see a bunch of different
[98]
segmentation and what you would predominantly see is that the majority
[101]
of its revenues are coming from this and this.
[105]
Right?
[106]
So CCD, Cafe Coffee Day and the listed name is Coffee Day Enterprises.
[111]
There are two major business lines.
[113]
The first is the coffee business, coffee plus food business.
[117]
Right.
[117]
So when you go to CCD you drink coffee and you also order something to eat.
[121]
So they are making roughly 36.
[122]
37% of money from there, right?
[124]
They also have coffee, vending machines, etc.
[127]
which can be lumped into this business stream.
[129]
The second major business stream
[131]
for Coffee Day Enterprises is the integrated logistics devices segment.
[135]
Now what does this exactly mean?
[137]
Let me depict that through an example
[139]
by taking you to one of the companies that was managed by Cafe Coffee Day.
[143]
So here is a very quick outlook about
[145]
the logistics arm that Cafe Coffee Day manages or used to manage.
[149]
So let me first and foremost take you to a very old article about Mr.
[153]
Viji Sidhata, who unfortunately passed away.
[155]
He used to run Cafe coffee day's business and back in 2010, he acquired a logistics
[160]
business called as Secal Logistics Limited.
[163]
So let us very quickly check what SICAL Logistics actually does.
[166]
So you can see from the website
[168]
of Secal Logistics that they are providing infrastructure solutions, for example,
[171]
mining and transportation, integrated logistics.
[174]
So what do they precisely do in integrated logistics?
[177]
So they do a bunch of different, different things.
[179]
For example, these are some of the key projects business coping.
[182]
They are working with NTPL. And what are they doing?
[184]
This is a contract,
[185]
five year contract for end to end logistics for miners to power plant.
[189]
Now, this has got nothing to do with coffee business.
[191]
But this is a very important point about
[193]
the coffee day enterprises or CCD, that they are just not into selling
[197]
coffees or they were not just into selling coffees.
[199]
They were also in logistics play and they were making a large chunk of money.
[203]
So I'll display that split again for you.
[206]
43% of their money was coming from integrated logistics play.
[210]
Now, with this clarity, let us start analyzing as to what were
[213]
some of the prominent reasons why the firm fell.
[215]
I will put up the chart again.
[216]
This is what the chart used to look like.
[218]
That back in 2015,16,17, the stock price was trading at roughly rs350.
[223]
Now, right now it is trading at roughly Rs50.
[227]
So much wealth has been eroded.
[228]
What were some of the primary reasons for this?
[231]
So there are three specific reasons that I could figure out.
[234]
The first and foremost reason is that the company tried to grow really fast
[239]
and it was on a path of unsustainable growth.
[242]
Now, what do I mean by this?
[243]
Now, there are primarily two ways of growing a business.
[246]
The first way is called as an organic way.
[248]
So let's assume that I'm making T shirts.
[250]
Now, I am selling these T shirts for, let's say RS100 and all my marketing,
[256]
production, manufacturing, sourcing, everything included.
[259]
It takes me only Rs30 to manufacture this Tshirt.
[262]
So what is my profit on every T shirt that I'm selling?
[265]
I am making Rs70.
[266]
Now this becomes my business profit.
[269]
Now, if I'm selling 1000 T shirts, so 1000 multiplied by 70.
[273]
So I'm making Rs70,000 as profits.
[276]
Now, if I'm able to maintain that sales,
[278]
I will keep on reinvesting that profit into my company.
[282]
So I will reinvest this.
[283]
And from a small firm, I will become a big firm.
[286]
Right? So this in very simple terms is called as
[289]
organic growth that I'm selling a very profitable product.
[292]
I'm picking up that money and I'm
[293]
reinvesting into my company and my company is growing.
[296]
So this is a very organic way of growing a company.
[298]
The second method is called as an inorganic method.
[301]
So here what I'm doing is that I'm borrowing a lot of money from people
[304]
and I'm opening stores after stores and I'm just expanding my sales and I'm
[308]
undertaking a bunch of business expansion on borrowed money.
[311]
So that is a very dangerous game that CCD
[313]
played, which eventually led to its downfall.
[316]
So this is a new flipping that I was able to find.
[318]
And if you take a look at this,
[320]
what you will see is the Cafe Coffee Day back in 2018, 2019 nine.
[323]
It used to have 1752 outlets, 1752 outlets.
[329]
During that time, something like Barista had 200, Mc Cafe at 190,
[333]
Starbucks had close to 150 and Costa Coffee used to have 50 outlets.
[338]
So this can only mean two things.
[339]
One, that Cafe Coffee Day thought that, you know what, we are going to literally
[343]
monopolize the coffee business and a bunch of other businesses that we are running.
[347]
We were just so far ahead in the race
[349]
in terms of how much the business had expanded.
[351]
But there is a massive problem
[353]
with the story and this can be analyzed from the sales number.
[356]
For example, if you take a look at the sales from 718
[359]
crores, it went all the way up to approximately 4100 crores in revenues.
[365]
But if you take a look at the profits,
[366]
the profits are not growing at a massive scale.
[368]
Despite selling products in the scale
[370]
of 4100 crores, they only had profits of roughly 106.
[375]
And in majority of the previous years, this net profit was still negative.
[379]
So essentially the company was on a path of inorganic growth.
[383]
So this was a major problem for it.
[385]
Now which brings us to the second thought process of Cafe Coffee Day management.
[388]
They thought, you know what,
[389]
if we keep on playing this Empire building game, Empire building game simply means
[393]
that you keep on borrowing money and keep building your business Empire.
[396]
If you keep on doing it at one scale, you will become so big,
[399]
so big that you will be able to go and acquire other companies.
[402]
But that is where the twist in the story happened.
[405]
Which brings us to the second reason of the downfall.
[407]
Now, in order to build this Empire of 1000
[410]
stores, CCD had to raise a lot of money, a lot of money.
[414]
And it executed almost every option it had.
[417]
In order to get this money, they executed debt financing.
[420]
So debt financing simply means that you go and borrow money.
[423]
The second option is that dilute your equity.
[426]
So equity financing simply means that you are selling your own company.
[429]
The promoters are selling their own shares in order to raise money for their firm.
[433]
So they were taking more debt also from the market, which means that they
[436]
were going and borrowing money from external debtors.
[439]
And at the same time the promoters are diluting their own holdings.
[442]
I'm not trying to say that this was done with Malintent.
[445]
All I'm simply trying to say is that sometimes what happens is that if you
[448]
are trying to build your business, you might dilute a lot of your equity.
[451]
For example, if I own 100% of a business, I can make whatever decisions I like.
[456]
But if I have sold 70, 80, 90% of my business and I'm only 10-15.
[461]
20% holder of that business,
[462]
then I have to seek approval from everyone to make any major decision.
[466]
So this leads to less business control and this is what CCD suffered from.
[470]
Now I can show you the numbers.
[472]
Also, if you actually check in investors, you will constantly see that from 2019
[477]
onwards they have been diluting their equity.
[480]
Why? Because they were defaulting on their
[481]
loans, they were having cash flow problems.
[484]
There were a bunch of negative,
[485]
negative things that were happening with the company.
[487]
So therefore you can see that from 2019 onwards, back in 2019,
[491]
CCD had a lot of stores, but those stores are not being operated
[494]
profitably so they had to raise further money.
[497]
The only way to do it was to get into equity financing.
[499]
Now that sell your equity to raise some more money to pay off the debtors.
[504]
To cut the long story short, we have reached a situation where
[507]
the promoters have sold a large part of their holding.
[510]
FIIs have also cut down their holding from roughly 6% to three and a half percent.
[513]
Now DIIs have completely sold off their
[516]
holdings and we are just stuck with public and retail shareholding has gone up
[520]
from 40% to roughly 81.55%. Now just a very quick point here,
[525]
that what is the issue with not having control over your business.
[528]
So you can see from this chart that back
[530]
in 2020 CCD or Coffee Day Enterprises, it tried to sell one of its business arms
[535]
but it was unable to do it to Tata Consumer Products because their
[539]
debtors people who had lending the money said no to that deal.
[542]
And by the way, this included yes bank.
[544]
So the problem is that when you have no
[545]
control over your business you can't make these type of strategic decisions.
[549]
Also now comes the third and the most
[551]
important reason as to what led to the downfall of Cafe Coffee Day.
[555]
Now the answer can be figured out by looking at the Roce.
[558]
Now here you can see that the Roc is negative now.
[560]
But even at its peak,
[562]
coffee business was not a very high margin profitable business.
[566]
How can I prove this to you?
[567]
Let me take you to some numbers
[568]
for the most profitable coffee business in the world which is of Starbucks.
[573]
It has the strongest coffee brand, the type of products that they sell.
[577]
For example, I'm a black coffee lover and I drink a lot of black coffee.
[580]
If I were to go and drink black coffee
[582]
at Starbucks, it costs Rs350, which is madness.
[586]
And with Starbucks they also control their own franchises.
[589]
So that way they are able to improve their profitability.
[591]
Now, despite all this, take a look at this.
[594]
Here are the sales numbers for Starbucks.
[596]
And this is just for reference purpose.
[598]
You can see that now despite such high sales number, look at the profit margin.
[602]
So this number States 30 million.
[604]
This number States approximately 30 million.
[606]
Now look at the earnings before interest and taxation.
[609]
So here you can see that it almost becomes
[611]
one six which is 15% to 16% profit margin on the entire sales of the company.
[616]
Now this profit margin is very low to begin with.
[619]
Now if a company whose brand value is not as strong as Starbucks,
[623]
which cannot price its product compared to Starbucks, which does not have control
[627]
over its own franchises, it is a recipe for disaster.
[631]
So which brings us to the second half
[632]
of today's video which is that why is this stock price surging all of a sudden?
[636]
It is giving spike after spike.
[638]
Should we take an entry now?
[639]
Okay, so let us have that discussion.
[641]
So the reasons why the stock price is
[643]
bouncing back, there are three specific reasons.
[645]
So one is that there has been a leadership change.
[647]
So Malavika Hegde ji, who is the wife of the late founder,
[650]
she has taken over the business and she is exhibiting excellent leadership.
[655]
For example, she has been able to bring down the debt of the company.
[658]
I will show you the balance sheet in a minute.
[660]
So that is a step in the right direction.
[662]
Second, she has been able to bring together new investors into the company.
[666]
So that is another good play that she is making.
[668]
And third, and finally, she has been able to create a little bit
[671]
of maneuvering room in the sense that by working with existing set
[675]
of people who have given debt to CCD, she has been able to get some Leeways
[679]
from these debtors in order to run the company.
[682]
So these are all steps in the right direction.
[684]
No doubt about that.
[685]
Second reason why the stock price is surging is because of the fact that people
[689]
think that, you know what, the stock price just cannot go any lower than this.
[693]
Almost all the bad stuff that could have
[694]
happened with this stock has already happened.
[697]
I somewhat agree with that.
[698]
Now third and finally is that CCD is a great brand.
[701]
For example, almost all of us would have
[703]
heard CCD and most of us would have had a CCD coffee.
[707]
So the brand value itself is very strong to begin with.
[711]
That was one of the reasons why
[712]
Tata Consumer Product wanted to acquire this form because of the brand value.
[716]
So this brand value does not go away.
[718]
But what should be our final verdict?
[721]
Because there are definite pros and cons.
[722]
Now before I share my final verdict with you, whether or not you should be
[726]
investing in coffee day enterprises or not investing in it, let me just very quickly
[729]
share the final output on the borrowings part.
[732]
If you go on the balance sheet, you will clearly see that the borrowings
[735]
went up and up and up until 2019 and over time they have started to come down.
[740]
Now this is somewhat of a mixed signal.
[742]
It's not as if that just because borrowings are coming down.
[744]
You should go and jump and buy this stock.
[746]
No, nothing like that because a lot of businesses are being sold.
[749]
For example, at the start of the video I told you that CCD businesses are twofold.
[754]
One is selling coffee and food and another is the logistics play.
[757]
Now, one of its prominent arms
[759]
which was SICAL logistics is now underbid to be sold to others.
[763]
So then what is the final verdict?
[764]
Should you be buying CCD?
[765]
Should you not be buying CCD? What should you be doing?
[768]
So there are no clear answers here.
[770]
Unfortunately, there are pros and cons.
[772]
However, the pro is that the borrowings
[774]
are going down and the brand value is very high and it looks to me that everything
[778]
bad that could have happened with the stock has already happened.
[781]
But the major problem still remains
[783]
that there are no avenues for the firm to make sustainable money.
[787]
So maybe even the current valuation
[789]
of Rs50 might not stand for the simple fact that the coffee business for them is
[793]
not very profitable for them and their cash churning arm, which is the logistics
[797]
arm, it is also getting stripped out and sold to pay off the existing debt.
[802]
So what would I be doing?
[803]
I would just wait for the entire business
[805]
restructuring to happen because the company is currently going through
[808]
a massive business restructuring and it would be too early for me to jump in.
[812]
I'm completely okay buying this stock when it reaches 150 in case it ever does.
[817]
But I will only invest in this business
[819]
once there is enough clarity that what is the next chapter of growth for CCTV.
[823]
But I wish Malavika Hegde ji the best.
[825]
She's doing an amazing job and I'm sure
[827]
that she will be able to take this company to new height and I really,
[830]
really hope and wish that a great brand like CCD survives.
[833]
So let me know your thoughts whether or not you would be investing.
[835]
What are some pros and cons that you see in this business?
