The Path to Consistent Compounding is Paved with Free Cashflow:
In our June 2021 Partners Bulletin (Click Here), we had discussed how Marcellus portfolio companies have been consistently compounding free cash flow over the years. Our fund manager Rakshit Ranjan in his recent newsletter (Click Here) has taken our discussion forward and gone deeper to discuss the primary drivers of cashflow and the valuation approach investors should use to value the business.
Below are the 3 types of businesses based on their primary driver of free cashflows.
Type 1: Book value as the primary driver of free cashflows
• Unique manufacturing process – Manufacturing capacity expansion drives free cashflow growth
• Growth in asset base is the primary driver of moats and free cashflows
• P/B multiple is a relevant metric.
Type 2: Profits as the primary driver of free cashflows
• Irreplaceable brand recall + Asset light
• The more it advertises, the more it delivers volume, revenue and eventually profits growth
• P/E multiple is a relevant metric. P/B multiple is NOT relevant; Its P/B multiple will keep rising as the business grows
•
Type 3: Operating efficiency as the primary driver of free cashflows
• Significantly reduces working capital cycle + increases asset turnover + high pricing power + healthy rate of capital reinvestment
• Free cashflow growth >>> Profits growth and Assets growth
• P/E will keep rising as long as the free cashflow growth >>> Profits growth. P/E is irrelevant. Free cashflow growth is a relevant metric.
Marcellus’ philosophy is based upon the TYPE 3 businesses which adheres to the following criteria:
In-house manufacturing and distribution:
• Distribution of small ticket high volume products to every nook and corner of India = opportunity to compress working capital cycles
• In-house manufacturing = opportunity to expand asset turns
Avoid price hikes—suffocates competition:
• Strategy to cushion the impact of input cost inflation through superior operating efficiencies vs competitors
• Increase volumes through affordability and make price wars ineffective
Tech Investments:
• Productivity improvements through process automation and superior systems help sweat the assets harder
• Supply chain investments such as Auto Replenish Systems, demand forecasting to drive improvement in working capital turnover
