With a 20%+ market share of the laminative space and at a rough P/E of 30X we expect Merino to outperform competition going forward as well!

Lets dive in to the business model, competition, industry overview and financials –
 
Company Overview
 
  • Merino launched in the year 1997 with interior Solutions - and plywood as their first product 
  • They established manufacturing unit for high pressure decorative laminates at Hapur near New Delhi and a second unit at Rohad 
  • Their specialty is to continuously release new products which are aligned to international trends and market demand. Over the years, their innovations have been continuously well received by Architects and Interior Designers.

    • Agro sector (cold storage business, farming, biotechnology and food processing)
    • Information Technology Services (Business Consulting and IT Services) 
 
 Business Update
 
The Merino Group's facilities are state-of-the-art, geared for integration, and strategically well-located to serve the markets. Its two manufacturing facilities for High Pressure Laminates have a combined annual production capacity of 35 million sq. mtrs.

 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
 

 
Competitive Positioning
 
  • Merino Group, by virtue of its brand, has been able to set up a strong pan-India marketing network of 1,080 dealers and more than 10,000retail outlets.
  • The company also boasts largest laminates capacity in India of 21.5mn sheets/year. This has helped it achieve leadership in the domestic laminates industry.
  • Is among the fastest growing in laminates in India clocking a 10% CAGR over FY16–21 (despite a 12% fall in domestic revenues for FY21). This has helped the company gain market share from 11% in FY16 to 17%.
  • They enjoy highest EBITDA margin, i.e. 25% in FY21.
 
 
Third Largest Laminates Exporter from India
 
Merino is also a strong player in the exports market with a presence in 65 countries, including the US, Hong Kong, Mexico, Singapore, Israel and Norway. India’s share in exports is rising led by high cost competitiveness.
Furthermore, many players globally have preferred India as their outsourcing partners. However, the company has underperformed the laminates industry with its exports remaining largely stable, whereas the industry logged a 12% CAGR over FY16–21. This has led to a sharp fall in Merino’s market share in the exports market from 41% in FY16 to 20% in FY21.
 
Outlook: Leader to benefit from strong industry tailwinds
 
Merino is poised for strong growth given its leadership in the domestic market and revival in domestic demand, government’s infrastructure push, shift from unorganised to organised players (due to a sharp increase in raw material prices) and continued traction in exports. The company also has room to re-gain market share in exports market given India continues to attract high growth led by its cost competitiveness. According to industry sources, Merino is also looking to expand in the particle board industry that will provide further growth visibility given it can increase sales of valueadded products such as furniture and pre-laminated boards. Furthermore, balance sheet continues to be strong with debt/equity of 0.1x, strong cash flow and healthy returms
