Exhibit 1 - Base-case (ex-investment) CAGR for sustainable GDP expansion By our estimate, India’s base-case sustainable
growth over the next decade should be 5%+.
This excludes key growth drivers such as
acceleration in fixed capital formation, decline
in unemployment, new industry evolution,
broad-based monetization of savings, and
associated multiplier effects1. Such level of
sustainability renders the question of timing
the entry largely redundant.
We view India as one of the most sustainable
growth stories available to investors. However,
we don’t rely on this inherent macro safety.
Rather, we focus on clearly identifying
fundamental sources of company safety which
has driven our outperformance across business
cycles.

India’s current urbanization rate is driven by
significant existing urban-rural differentials in
resource and income levels (see Exhibit 2).
 Not only is urban average per-capita
income about 3x rural per-capita income,
it is also outpacing agricultural income
growth .
 When coupled with capacity limitations
(flattish acreage growth) and low returns
on acreage, rural -> urban migration has
become an easy choice for most, and is in
vast majority of cases, accretive to
disposable income.

i. Process – We thrive on analytical intensity and investing discipline. We triangulate a
conservative estimate of intrinsic value using financials, forensics, and a thorough on
the ground approach. We then build a diversified book of businesses with a
concentrated focus on our best ideas.
ii. People – Diverse global experience which helps identify certain tertiary effects that
drive sharp value movements in emerging markets. Based on our backgrounds, we are
able to overlay “macro” risk management to our largely deep-dive “micro” process.
iii. Partners – Smart investors that allow us the freedom to steer clear of speculation,
incentivize “rigor” over “fashion”, and appreciate our effort to capitalize on
opportunities that present themselves during periods of panic and sharp corrections.
7
Basis for our Process - Our work on Indian markets shows that growth, margin
sustainability, accounting clarity, and value hold significant explanatory power for
attributing long-term material outperformance within Indian equities. These are therefore
some of our key screening levers. We don't constrain our universe by looking only at simple
metrics such as earning yields or headline multiples. If our selected businesses show…..
1. sustainable promise,
2. ability to retain pricing power,
3. material ignored/under-appreciated facets, and
4. clearly quantifiable incremental catalysts,……
…….they become prospects for inclusion in one of our two sub-strategies. Our process
thrives on discipline and is well positioned to look for and own strong (or potentially strong)
businesses, run by shareholder friendly management teams, at attractive valuations.
8
Our process is highly iterative in which we play devil’s advocate and try to “kill” our best ideas. Some of the reasons
why an idea may be “killed”: 1. Valuation, 2. Management integrity/ability, 3. Strategic advantage not defensible
enough, 4. Lack of accounting clarity, 5. Lack of identifiable catalyst(s), etc.
9
Our India Underserved strategy focuses on businesses within most underpenetrated categories,
which have the largest potential upsides to come in line with G7 levels. These names are then
screened using our value and forensic screens to be identified for further fundamental work. We
only proceed if our fundamental work on these names manages to keep us interested while
offering free or near-free embedded optionality within assets.
10
Our current India Underserved universe comprises about 100 names - we continually trim and
expand this list according to fundamental and technical variables. Here are some of the key
attributes we found in this universe:
 Sustainability – Our Underserved universe is comprised of businesses that are expected
to sustainably outpace the broader economy over the medium and long-term. Typically,
we expect such categories to expand at least 30x before nearing saturation.
 Partially constrained by value – Our tests on Underserved categories (not constrained by
a “fixed” value multiple) suggest that investors reward sustainable growth in such
businesses. We screened primarily for cash generation ability and margin tenacity. An
equally-weighted book of such screened businesses doubled during our test periods, far
outpacing the benchmarks, with more than 3/4th of constituents registering +ve returns.
Predictably, not having ‘multiple-based’ constraints didn’t preclude material
outperformance within our screened universe.
11
12
Categories included are typically those where consumption is often an exponential function of
income growth. Typical categories include: autos, hospitality, select food categories (such as
Coffee -see Exhibit 7), etc.

We remain aware of categories, which while still under-penetrated, might be running ahead of
natural economic evolution curves. Residential mortgages are a case in point – While India is a hugely
under-banked market, lending categories such as residential mortgages have more than 2x the
penetration rate one would expect for an economy like India (see peer set comparison in Exhibit 8b).

What we knew?
At a time when consumers were trading down, we were looking at models that could tide through sticky
inflation. In this case, we were evaluating a film exhibition business that had demonstrated steady pricing
power in ticketing, had reported consistent growth from advertising, and passed on F&B inflation, given lack of
on-premise F&B alternatives. However, this business also reported a sharp drop in occupancy rates.
What the market didn’t fully appreciate? – Secular strength of the business
Investors traded this business on box-office collections, with little regard to the secular strength these businesses
possess in India. About 30-40% of single screens close every 5 years. In supply equilibrium, a typical multiplex
screen sold about 150K tickets in a year, translating into a high 20s occupancy rate. A typical single-screen sold
about 190K-200K tickets in a year, at even lower occupancy rates. Effectively, just to maintain flat movie
viewership (which wasn’t flat), closure of 5 single screens needed to be offset by launch of 6-7 multiplex
screens.
What we viewed as identifiable catalysts?
1. Earnings power was materially changing - PVR had 60% interest in a production and distribution
business. A large part of the pain inflicted on shareholders came from this source – Between losses and
capital requirements, this business had sucked just under a third of PVR’s then market value over a 3-
year period. Not surprisingly, PVR had announced its phased exit from PVR Pictures. In the then
current fiscal, incremental capital allocation to the production biz had been immaterial. They held true
to their word.
15
What we viewed as identifiable catalysts?......contd.
2. Geographic mix was getting favorable. During F07-F10, ~1/2
of all PVR’s screens were launched in the crowded NCR and
Mumbai markets (39 of 43 screens in the then preceding fiscal),
dragging occupancy rates. Of those operational elsewhere,
blended ATP was just about 10% below PVR’s F3Q11 average,
indicating that even 2-3% higher occupancy in these new
screens could offset the pricing drag on realization/seat.
Occupancy was bound to improve as geographic mix was
diversifying.
3. Priced at INR 80K/seat per seat for the core business, while
other businesses were being given away for free. PVR’s base-
case EBITDA (at 25% occupancy rate) with then existing
footprint was >INR 450 mil (as opposed to then recent run-rate
of ~INR 1 bil, despite sub 28% occupancy rate). At 6x, that
translated into just about 25% discount from where the market
was valuing PVR. This was the “hell breaks loose” scenario. The
conservative potential upside at mid-high teen margin and
unlevered growth rates, suggested that PVR could have
expanded at least 2x from there.

What we knew?
MMFS’ predominant business (historically) has been vehicle financing, within rural and semi-urban
markets. It is typically the organized lender of last resort and has largely grown by creating a new
market vs. gaining share within an existing market.
What the market didn’t fully appreciate?
MMFS’ enviable positioning – Our work on branch level economics suggested that it is very difficult for
competitors (without a captive auto base) to enter MMFS’ turf of servicing under-banked customers,
and profitably operate, unless one is willing to assume incremental risk and (in many cases) willing to
dilute existing profitability – An average MMFS branch originated north of 450 contracts in FY10 (we
initiated this position in mid-F2011), with the vast majority of contracts underwritten through an on-
the-ground approach vs. processing readily available documentation.
Case of a small rural center (Population of 120K) – We estimated that in many such centers,
MMFS did under a tenth of all new vehicle-loan originations, mostly as the last organized lender
of choice. Within its addressable market (limited income documentation) it enjoyed a
monopoly. Competing within its addressable market is very difficult for an NBFC competitor
that doesn’t have a sizeable captive base , given our break-even estimate of 140 annual
originations for a very small branch. For a state-controlled or regional co-operative bank,
economics of such a business and growth prospects aren’t too compelling to compete, even if
they were to become very nimble in their hiring and turn aggressive on underwriting.
17
What we viewed as identifiable catalysts?
1. Continued penetration within under-banked consumers. Given then lower vehicle ownership and
lack of access to credit, we expected MMFS’s sweet-spot of vehicle demand from under-banked,
largely unleveraged customers to grow at-least as fast as the broader auto market in the near term.
2. Significant optionality on offer (Cross-selling mortgages and home re-modeling loan products).
While we ascribed no material value to a fledgling housing business, we realized that MMFS has
room to originate more mortgages than their current volume of vehicle loans, even if its share in
such a business remains well below its then high-single digit national share in vehicle loans (ex-
2Ws and 3Ws).
Valuation – Our target price suggested at least 40%+ upside. Despite significantly muted origination
growth expectations going forward (below then recent averages and F2009’s low-point of just over 13% ) ,
we identified 40%+ upside in early September 2010, which ascribed no value to a fast-growing home loan
business. We were equally impressed by a management team that made an effort to engage its
shareholders and conservatively accounted for losses within a unique, but relatively riskier, business
model.

Our India Undervalued strategy is typically a collection of our 10-25 best value ideas. Unlike our
India Underserved book, India Undervalued book isn’t constrained by specific categories. Instead,
the focus is on absolute upside over 1-3 years, regardless of industry/sector, while having similar
fundamental attributes that we typically focus on within our Underserved portfolio (please refer
to our process schematic for details).
20
What we knew?
Shree Cement was the fastest growing Indian cement company. At capacity of 13.5 million tons, it was the #1
player in North India and top 5 nationally. Cement manufacturing in India is regionally driven and the top 8
players in each region control 60-80% of the local capacity. Shree had averaged 38% margins over trailing 5
years vs. industry average of 27-30% at similar utilization. Higher profitability was driven by flexible input
costs (almost 100% usage of pet-coke vs. industry average of ~20%), regional advantage in logistics/pricing,
and higher capacity utilization. It is critical to note that even if Shree’s major competitors were to match its
higher capacity utilization (unlikely given then market dynamics), Shree would have likely continued to have a
4%+ margin advantage over competition, given its sourcing and operational advantages.
What the market didn’t fully appreciate?
1. Overcapacity in the overall industry (~80% effective capacity utilization in F2011). Indian cement
industry had averaged demand growth of ~9% over the then trailing 5 years. Capacity utilization for Shree
was expected to remain above industry due to its continued stronger than industry average demand (15%
volume growth in the last 10 years vs. 10% for industry).
2. Lack of cushion in times of industry overcapacity. Shree’s power trading business had become and
would have continued to become a significant cushion for the cement business. In FY12, with
projected flat cement sales, we expected power to make up ~12% of total sales (vs. 8.8% in FY11).
3. Management was not given enough credit (see then valuation Exhibit 13 below) for operating and
capital allocation prowess they have shown in a “vanilla” industry. Bangur family, owned 2/3rd of the
business and itwas run by the son of Chairman B.G. Bangur. It was clear that they were outstanding
cost-cutters and anticipated trends within the industry - all demonstrated by their success in
aggressively yet sensibly expanding capacity since inception (then IRR of 26% since inception in mid-
80s). We anticipated upside of at least 20% from late May 2011 levels, and exited in June 2012 with
nearly 70% (after-tax) upside (~50% on cost).

In F2009, earnings and equities diverged.... ….but fundamentals always drive convergence over longer periods
23
Sources: First Call, BSE, AMFI
The F2009 (Mar) panic in the markets provided an excellent opportunity to build exposure. Consider this – About a third of
Sensex constituents saw their earnings decline in F2009 (average decline of about -50%), leading to close to 50% drop in their
prices. Meanwhile, another third of constituents that saw acceleration in earnings (average growth of about 35%), still ended
up losing a fifth of their value. One needs to invest through professionals who can appreciate underlying risks, are willing to
selectively increase net exposure during periods of panic, and sit out speculative rallies.

Be it a case of a simple fad, aggressive growth expectations within an underpenetrated category, or ill-
informed extrapolation of unsustainable performance, we find no dearth of irrational valuations within
Indian equities. Here is one of our studied situations:
Case of a hospitality company (reviewed in Oct 2010)
Background on the situation - This business sells multi-year (20+ years) hospitality service rights,
with installments typically paid within the initial 3-4 years, translating into an attractive cash float. It
is a highly capital intensive business and requires significant operating working capital.
Critical issue that the market ignored or under-appreciated:
1. Its core business had decelerated from 50%+ a few years back to mid-teens;
2. By our est, their capacity at that time was unlikely to service materially over 70% of its
members (Global average for similar business models suggest 50%+ excess capacity to
manage peak demand), and would have likely resulted in meaningful deceleration in growth
and/or significant leverage added on the books.
Sky-high valuation – Stock was trading at ~70x F2010 FCF, which wasn’t sustainable. Even assuming
that this business somehow regained its pace of growth from mid-2000s (without the associated
capex growth i.e. stretches its current sub-par capacity even further), we still saw 50%+ downside
from there.
i. Lack of Investor sophistication - Too much direct retail participation. Retail investor’s focus on
“quick” appreciation is clearly visible. Several names often exchange hands much more frequently
than even the most liquid names on NYSE – 1 out of every 163 tradable shares* of an average DJIA
constituent trades daily vs. 1 out of every 25 tradable shares of NSE’s ‘speculative bunch’.
We pay no heed to momentum in prices and use our safety first/disciplined investment
process to identify key themes and select securities which have such inherent strengths that
the long-term returns should be higher than benchmarks irrespective of “feel-good”
Western/macro stories.
ii. Inefficient shorting alternatives hamper price discovery – Very thin volume and limited breadth
within stock specific derivatives; No centralized clearing house to manage counterparty risk for
investors who wish to borrow stocks to short.
We manage market froth by selectively hedging out macro and security specific risks using
derivatives. On the flip side, we can selectively take “enhanced” security–specific exposures
through calls, when bargains can be distinctly identified and there is material call volume in
such a security.

  • 3. 3 Exhibit 1 - Base-case (ex-investment) CAGR for sustainable GDP expansion By our estimate, India’s base-case sustainable growth over the next decade should be 5%+. This excludes key growth drivers such as acceleration in fixed capital formation, decline in unemployment, new industry evolution, broad-based monetization of savings, and associated multiplier effects1. Such level of sustainability renders the question of timing the entry largely redundant. We view India as one of the most sustainable growth stories available to investors. However, we don’t rely on this inherent macro safety. Rather, we focus on clearly identifying fundamental sources of company safety which has driven our outperformance across business cycles.

  • 4. 4 India’s current urbanization rate is driven by significant existing urban-rural differentials in resource and income levels (see Exhibit 2).  Not only is urban average per-capita income about 3x rural per-capita income, it is also outpacing agricultural income growth .  When coupled with capacity limitations (flattish acreage growth) and low returns on acreage, rural -> urban migration has become an easy choice for most, and is in vast majority of cases, accretive to disposable income.

  • 6. 6 i. Process – We thrive on analytical intensity and investing discipline. We triangulate a conservative estimate of intrinsic value using financials, forensics, and a thorough on the ground approach. We then build a diversified book of businesses with a concentrated focus on our best ideas. ii. People – Diverse global experience which helps identify certain tertiary effects that drive sharp value movements in emerging markets. Based on our backgrounds, we are able to overlay “macro” risk management to our largely deep-dive “micro” process. iii. Partners – Smart investors that allow us the freedom to steer clear of speculation, incentivize “rigor” over “fashion”, and appreciate our effort to capitalize on opportunities that present themselves during periods of panic and sharp corrections.
  • 7. 7 Basis for our Process - Our work on Indian markets shows that growth, margin sustainability, accounting clarity, and value hold significant explanatory power for attributing long-term material outperformance within Indian equities. These are therefore some of our key screening levers. We don't constrain our universe by looking only at simple metrics such as earning yields or headline multiples. If our selected businesses show….. 1. sustainable promise, 2. ability to retain pricing power, 3. material ignored/under-appreciated facets, and 4. clearly quantifiable incremental catalysts,…… …….they become prospects for inclusion in one of our two sub-strategies. Our process thrives on discipline and is well positioned to look for and own strong (or potentially strong) businesses, run by shareholder friendly management teams, at attractive valuations.
  • 8. 8 Our process is highly iterative in which we play devil’s advocate and try to “kill” our best ideas. Some of the reasons why an idea may be “killed”: 1. Valuation, 2. Management integrity/ability, 3. Strategic advantage not defensible enough, 4. Lack of accounting clarity, 5. Lack of identifiable catalyst(s), etc.
  • 9. 9
  • 10. Our India Underserved strategy focuses on businesses within most underpenetrated categories, which have the largest potential upsides to come in line with G7 levels. These names are then screened using our value and forensic screens to be identified for further fundamental work. We only proceed if our fundamental work on these names manages to keep us interested while offering free or near-free embedded optionality within assets. 10
  • 11. Our current India Underserved universe comprises about 100 names - we continually trim and expand this list according to fundamental and technical variables. Here are some of the key attributes we found in this universe:  Sustainability – Our Underserved universe is comprised of businesses that are expected to sustainably outpace the broader economy over the medium and long-term. Typically, we expect such categories to expand at least 30x before nearing saturation.  Partially constrained by value – Our tests on Underserved categories (not constrained by a “fixed” value multiple) suggest that investors reward sustainable growth in such businesses. We screened primarily for cash generation ability and margin tenacity. An equally-weighted book of such screened businesses doubled during our test periods, far outpacing the benchmarks, with more than 3/4th of constituents registering +ve returns. Predictably, not having ‘multiple-based’ constraints didn’t preclude material outperformance within our screened universe. 11

  • 14. 14 What we knew? At a time when consumers were trading down, we were looking at models that could tide through sticky inflation. In this case, we were evaluating a film exhibition business that had demonstrated steady pricing power in ticketing, had reported consistent growth from advertising, and passed on F&B inflation, given lack of on-premise F&B alternatives. However, this business also reported a sharp drop in occupancy rates. What the market didn’t fully appreciate? – Secular strength of the business Investors traded this business on box-office collections, with little regard to the secular strength these businesses possess in India. About 30-40% of single screens close every 5 years. In supply equilibrium, a typical multiplex screen sold about 150K tickets in a year, translating into a high 20s occupancy rate. A typical single-screen sold about 190K-200K tickets in a year, at even lower occupancy rates. Effectively, just to maintain flat movie viewership (which wasn’t flat), closure of 5 single screens needed to be offset by launch of 6-7 multiplex screens. What we viewed as identifiable catalysts? 1. Earnings power was materially changing - PVR had 60% interest in a production and distribution business. A large part of the pain inflicted on shareholders came from this source – Between losses and capital requirements, this business had sucked just under a third of PVR’s then market value over a 3- year period. Not surprisingly, PVR had announced its phased exit from PVR Pictures. In the then current fiscal, incremental capital allocation to the production biz had been immaterial. They held true to their word.
  • 15. 15 What we viewed as identifiable catalysts?......contd. 2. Geographic mix was getting favorable. During F07-F10, ~1/2 of all PVR’s screens were launched in the crowded NCR and Mumbai markets (39 of 43 screens in the then preceding fiscal), dragging occupancy rates. Of those operational elsewhere, blended ATP was just about 10% below PVR’s F3Q11 average, indicating that even 2-3% higher occupancy in these new screens could offset the pricing drag on realization/seat. Occupancy was bound to improve as geographic mix was diversifying. 3. Priced at INR 80K/seat per seat for the core business, while other businesses were being given away for free. PVR’s base- case EBITDA (at 25% occupancy rate) with then existing footprint was >INR 450 mil (as opposed to then recent run-rate of ~INR 1 bil, despite sub 28% occupancy rate). At 6x, that translated into just about 25% discount from where the market was valuing PVR. This was the “hell breaks loose” scenario. The conservative potential upside at mid-high teen margin and unlevered growth rates, suggested that PVR could have expanded at least 2x from there. 0x 10x 20x 30x 40x 50x 60x Jan-06 Jun-06 Nov-06 Apr-07 Sep-07 Feb-08 Jul-08 Dec-08 May-09 Oct-09 Mar-10 Aug-10 Jan-11 EV/EBITDA 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 4,500 5,000 F2010A F2011E F2012E F2013E F2014E F2015E F2016E F2017E F2018E F2019E F2020E NumberofSeats[000s] PVR'sSeats OtherMultiplexSeats Single ScreenSeats Assumingthatleveragewasn't a constraint,our extremelyconservative estimatesuggested that PVR'sseatscouldquadruplein a decade.
  • 16. 16 What we knew? MMFS’ predominant business (historically) has been vehicle financing, within rural and semi-urban markets. It is typically the organized lender of last resort and has largely grown by creating a new market vs. gaining share within an existing market. What the market didn’t fully appreciate? MMFS’ enviable positioning – Our work on branch level economics suggested that it is very difficult for competitors (without a captive auto base) to enter MMFS’ turf of servicing under-banked customers, and profitably operate, unless one is willing to assume incremental risk and (in many cases) willing to dilute existing profitability – An average MMFS branch originated north of 450 contracts in FY10 (we initiated this position in mid-F2011), with the vast majority of contracts underwritten through an on- the-ground approach vs. processing readily available documentation. Case of a small rural center (Population of 120K) – We estimated that in many such centers, MMFS did under a tenth of all new vehicle-loan originations, mostly as the last organized lender of choice. Within its addressable market (limited income documentation) it enjoyed a monopoly. Competing within its addressable market is very difficult for an NBFC competitor that doesn’t have a sizeable captive base , given our break-even estimate of 140 annual originations for a very small branch. For a state-controlled or regional co-operative bank, economics of such a business and growth prospects aren’t too compelling to compete, even if they were to become very nimble in their hiring and turn aggressive on underwriting.
  • 17. 17 What we viewed as identifiable catalysts? 1. Continued penetration within under-banked consumers. Given then lower vehicle ownership and lack of access to credit, we expected MMFS’s sweet-spot of vehicle demand from under-banked, largely unleveraged customers to grow at-least as fast as the broader auto market in the near term. 2. Significant optionality on offer (Cross-selling mortgages and home re-modeling loan products). While we ascribed no material value to a fledgling housing business, we realized that MMFS has room to originate more mortgages than their current volume of vehicle loans, even if its share in such a business remains well below its then high-single digit national share in vehicle loans (ex- 2Ws and 3Ws). Valuation – Our target price suggested at least 40%+ upside. Despite significantly muted origination growth expectations going forward (below then recent averages and F2009’s low-point of just over 13% ) , we identified 40%+ upside in early September 2010, which ascribed no value to a fast-growing home loan business. We were equally impressed by a management team that made an effort to engage its shareholders and conservatively accounted for losses within a unique, but relatively riskier, business model.

Instead, the focus is on absolute upside over 1-3 years, regardless of industry/sector, while having similar fundamental attributes that we typically focus on within our Underserved portfolio (please refer to our process schematic for details).
  • 20. 20 What we knew? Shree Cement was the fastest growing Indian cement company. At capacity of 13.5 million tons, it was the #1 player in North India and top 5 nationally. Cement manufacturing in India is regionally driven and the top 8 players in each region control 60-80% of the local capacity. Shree had averaged 38% margins over trailing 5 years vs. industry average of 27-30% at similar utilization. Higher profitability was driven by flexible input costs (almost 100% usage of pet-coke vs. industry average of ~20%), regional advantage in logistics/pricing, and higher capacity utilization. It is critical to note that even if Shree’s major competitors were to match its higher capacity utilization (unlikely given then market dynamics), Shree would have likely continued to have a 4%+ margin advantage over competition, given its sourcing and operational advantages. What the market didn’t fully appreciate? 1. Overcapacity in the overall industry (~80% effective capacity utilization in F2011). Indian cement industry had averaged demand growth of ~9% over the then trailing 5 years. Capacity utilization for Shree was expected to remain above industry due to its continued stronger than industry average demand (15% volume growth in the last 10 years vs. 10% for industry).
  • 21. 2. Lack of cushion in times of industry overcapacity. Shree’s power trading business had become and would have continued to become a significant cushion for the cement business. In FY12, with projected flat cement sales, we expected power to make up ~12% of total sales (vs. 8.8% in FY11). 3. Management was not given enough credit (see then valuation Exhibit 13 below) for operating and capital allocation prowess they have shown in a “vanilla” industry. Bangur family, owned 2/3rd of the business and itwas run by the son of Chairman B.G. Bangur. It was clear that they were outstanding cost-cutters and anticipated trends within the industry - all demonstrated by their success in aggressively yet sensibly expanding capacity since inception (then IRR of 26% since inception in mid- 80s). We anticipated upside of at least 20% from late May 2011 levels, and exited in June 2012 with nearly 70% (after-tax) upside (~50% on cost). Exhibit 13 – How Shree stacked vs. peers* 21 Price M.

  • 23. In F2009, earnings and equities diverged.... ….but fundamentals always drive convergence over longer periods 23 Sources: First Call, BSE, AMFI The F2009 (Mar) panic in the markets provided an excellent opportunity to build exposure. Consider this – About a third of Sensex constituents saw their earnings decline in F2009 (average decline of about -50%), leading to close to 50% drop in their prices. Meanwhile, another third of constituents that saw acceleration in earnings (average growth of about 35%), still ended up losing a fifth of their value. One needs to invest through professionals who can appreciate underlying risks, are willing to selectively increase net exposure during periods of panic, and sit out speculative rallies. -100% -80% -60% -40% -20% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% -300% -200% -100% 0% 100% 200% BSESensexConstituents'FY2009Stock Performance BSE Sensex Constituents' FY2009 Earnings Growth OverallR² of 0.18 → 60% ofconstituents reported increasedearningsin F2009.

  • 24. 24 Be it a case of a simple fad, aggressive growth expectations within an underpenetrated category, or ill- informed extrapolation of unsustainable performance, we find no dearth of irrational valuations within Indian equities. Here is one of our studied situations: Case of a hospitality company (reviewed in Oct 2010) Background on the situation - This business sells multi-year (20+ years) hospitality service rights, with installments typically paid within the initial 3-4 years, translating into an attractive cash float. It is a highly capital intensive business and requires significant operating working capital. Critical issue that the market ignored or under-appreciated: 1. Its core business had decelerated from 50%+ a few years back to mid-teens; 2. By our est, their capacity at that time was unlikely to service materially over 70% of its members (Global average for similar business models suggest 50%+ excess capacity to manage peak demand), and would have likely resulted in meaningful deceleration in growth and/or significant leverage added on the books. Sky-high valuation – Stock was trading at ~70x F2010 FCF, which wasn’t sustainable. Even assuming that this business somehow regained its pace of growth from mid-2000s (without the associated capex growth i.e. stretches its current sub-par capacity even further), we still saw 50%+ downside from there.
  • 25. i. Lack of Investor sophistication - Too much direct retail participation. Retail investor’s focus on “quick” appreciation is clearly visible. Several names often exchange hands much more frequently than even the most liquid names on NYSE – 1 out of every 163 tradable shares* of an average DJIA constituent trades daily vs. 1 out of every 25 tradable shares of NSE’s ‘speculative bunch’. We pay no heed to momentum in prices and use our safety first/disciplined investment process to identify key themes and select securities which have such inherent strengths that the long-term returns should be higher than benchmarks irrespective of “feel-good” Western/macro stories. ii. Inefficient shorting alternatives hamper price discovery – Very thin volume and limited breadth within stock specific derivatives; No centralized clearing house to manage counterparty risk for investors who wish to borrow stocks to short. We manage market froth by selectively hedging out macro and security specific risks using derivatives. On the flip side, we can selectively take “enhanced” security–specific exposures through calls, when bargains can be distinctly identified and there is material call volume in such a security. * Freely floated shares 25
