2QFY19—lackluster quarter
Consolidated financials—revenues grew 9% yoy to `46.4 bn, 6% below our estimate
(2-year CAGR: 11.8%). Gross margins declined 148 bps yoy and 343 bps qoq to 39.8%.
EBITDA was down 2% yoy to `7.84 bn, 23% below our estimate and nearly 14-15% below
consensus (2-year CAGR: 5.4%). EBITDA margins declined 188 bps yoy and 302 bps qoq to
a 14-quarter-low 16.9%. Recurring PAT declined 3% yoy to `4.93 bn, 23% below our
estimate (2-year CAGR: 2.3%). TTM EPS stood at `21.8/share, up 13.2% yoy (2-year CAGR:
3.6%, multi-year low). This was the sixth consecutive quarter of single-digit 2-year CAGR in
TTM EPS.
Standalone financials—revenues grew 9% yoy (KIE 16%; 2-year CAGR: 12.3%). Revenue
growth was below volume growth (low double digit) despite 3.4% price increase; net
realization declined 2.2% yoy. The management attributed the big gap between pricing and
realization to (1) higher sales of distempers (inferior product mix), and (2) higher trade
discount ahead of GST rate cut implementation (July 27) to dispose stocks with higher MRP
and avoid logistical issues. Gross margins declined 143 bps yoy and 382 bps qoq to 40.8%.
EBITDA was up 1% yoy to `7.27 bn, 21% below our estimate (2-year CAGR: 7.3%). EBITDA
margins declined 141 bps yoy and 368 bps qoq to 18.6%. Recurring PAT was up 2% yoy to
`4.82 bn, 20% below our estimate (2-year CAGR: 5.2%).
Aggregate subsidiary performance (consolidated less standalone)—aggregate subsidiary
performance was weak again with double-digit EBITDA decline for the 4th consecutive
quarter. Aggregate subs’ PAT was the lowest 2Q PAT since FY2012.
Weaker-than-expected revenue growth and continued RM pressure lead to earnings cut
We cut our FY2019-21E EPS estimates by 9-12% as we trim our volume growth/realization
assumptions and bake in higher RM costs. APNT’s price hike of 2.35% in October 2018 was
lower than needed to offset RM inflation; the management is cautious in view of anti-
profiteering implications. We revise our DCF-based fair value target price to `1,140 (from `1,200).
Even as valuations have corrected, we do not see enough margin of safety yet. We would wait
for a better entry price to play what remains a solid medium-term story. REDUCE stays.
Asian Paints (APNT) Consumer Products
Short-term earnings prognosis sketchy. APNT delivered a disappointing 2QFY19 and
the driver of disappointment was not RM pressure. RM pressure is likely to keep
earnings growth in check in the near term. Management’s commentary in the earnings
call was more guarded than we have seen in a while and did not suggest confidence in
a quick earnings growth inflection. Earnings forecasts see sharp cuts. One-year forward
fair-value target stands revised down to `1,140/share (from `1,200). REDUCE stays.

Surprisingly subdued volume-adjusted (i.e. per unit) RM inflation
Even as APNT’s RM basket has non-crude-linked components as well, there has been a pretty
strong correlation between crude inflation in INR terms and APNT’s reported per-unit RM
inflation (see Exhibit 2 on the next page). We compute per-unit RM inflation or volume-
adjusted RM inflation simply as the gap between reported standalone COGS increase and
indicated domestic decoratives volume growth. APNT’s COGS (standalone) grew 11% yoy in
2QFY19 in absolute terms while indicated volume growth was ‘low double digits’. Assuming
volume growth in the 10-12% range, per-unit RM was flat yoy or there was zero volume-
adjusted RM inflation. This is surprising given the 59% increase in crude price in INR terms.
The last time INR crude inflation was this high (35-46% between 4QFY11 and 3QFY12), the
company saw volume-adjusted RM inflation of 12-22%.
We appreciate that mix movement could be at play here. HUVR-style UVG, which depicts
mix-adjusted volume growth, would have been very helpful here. However, even if we were
to assume a 500 bps mix impact, i.e. a UVG of 6%, volume-adjusted RM inflation would
have still been a low 5% yoy. We are not sure (1) whether low inflation reflects smart RM
forward and covers, and (2) if RM inflation impact will show up with a lag; if it does, price
increases taken thus far may not be enough to prevent gross margins from going down
further. Earnings call did not provide any insight to help us on this aspect.
Conference call takeaways
Explanation on net realization decline or price-realization delta gap—A 9% revenue
growth in standalone financials despite a low-double-digit volume growth (KIE 11%) in
decorative business and 3.4% price increase implies net realization decline of 2-3% yoy.
The management attributed net realization decline to (1) deterioration in product mix.
Higher sales of distemper in 2QFY19 and higher-than-usual contribution of emulsions in
the base quarter adversely impacted realization, (2) higher trade discounts to liquidate
about 170,000 KL of stock four days ahead of GST rate cut implementation. The
management indicated that it helped the company avoid a logistical issue of changing
MRP stickers on the stock, (3) some impact of discontinuation of Pthalic Anhydride sales
on revenues (present in the base quarter but discontinued thereafter). We appreciate
management’s disclosures but are not sure if these factors explain 100% of the large
(550 bps+) gap between price and realization delta.
Commentary on demand—APNT management indicated that the demand environment
is consistent with what they have seen over the past 18 months and they have not seen
any signs of uptick. GST rate cuts, monsoons and imminent election season, expected to
prop up volume growth, do not seem to be doing so yet. From a geographic standpoint,
East is growing well and the company is seeing some signs of recovery in the South (weak
for the past few years).
Pricing, RM inflation and margins—APNT management has increased prices by 2.35%
in October 2018 (cumulative price increase of 5.6%; first in March, second in May and
third in October). The management indicated that October price increase was sufficient to
offset the impact of high RM prices and weak rupee as of August 2018 levels. RM price
inflation and depreciation of rupee since then calls for another price increase. It is
considering another price increase in current quarter. Titanium dioxide is about 20-22%
of RM costs and crude derivatives account for 30% of RM costs. APNT expects monomer
(derivative of crude) prices to increase in the current quarter (usually follows crude
inflation with lag). APNT management expects margins to be under pressure in the near
term in view of timing gap between price increase and RM inflation.
Commissioning of new capacities—first phase of Mysore plant has been commercially
commissioned in September 2018. The upcoming facility at Vizag will be commissioned in
4QFY19. New facilities would reduce logistics costs and manufacturing costs to some
extent.

Capex—standalone capex for the year would be `10 bn including `8 bn pertaining to
Mysore and Vizag expansions. Consolidated capex would be `12 bn (no change from
previous guidance).
International business performance—(1) Sri Lanka suffered from incessant rains,
(2) Ethiopia continued to face challenges pertaining to currency availability for imports,
(3) Egypt market was weak due to sluggish economy and reduction in fuel subsidies
added to inflationary environment, (4) Dubai business was impacted from hyper-
competition as volume leader in that market reduced prices to absorb 5% increase in VAT
despite RM inflation, (5) greenfield operations in Indonesia are progressing as per plans
with a focus on expansion of retail network.
Industrial business—both JVs APPPG and PPGAP reported good growth in the industrial
segment but price increases taken were not adequate to offset RM pressure. The
management alluded to difficulty and delays in passing on RM costs to large B2B
customers.

Bajaj Finance: Another quarter of strong performance
Bajaj Finance reported 54% growth in earnings as per Ind-AS. AUM growth was strong at 38%
yoy driven by momentum across various segments of consumer finance and business loans.
Calculated NIM was up 47 bps yoy to 11.1% (down 33 bps qoq owing to a rise in the cost of
funds). Efficient expense management curtailed expense growth to 25% yoy leading to 510 bps
improvement in the cost-income ratio to 36.5%. GNPL inched up 10 bps qoq to 1.5% in
2QFY19.
Bajaj Finserv and Bajaj Finance: Upgrade a notch
Post the sharp stock price correction (23-24% in the last three months) for both Bajaj Finance
and Bajaj Finserv, we upgrade both the stocks by a notch. We revise the rating of Bajaj Finserv
to ADD from REDUCE with TP of Rs5,650 (down from Rs6,100) and Bajaj Finance to REDUCE
from SELL with TP of Rs1,950 from Rs2,000. We value Bajaj Life at 1.4X EV, Bajaj General
Insurance and Bajaj Finance at 4.5X book FY2020E. We expect Bajaj Finance to deliver 37% EPS
CAGR and 22-24% medium-term RoE. We believe that Bajaj Finance, given its strong parentage
and robust performance will be well placed on the liquidity front though may moderate its
growth momentum a bit from its current high levels. Focus on profitable segments and
improving productivity will ensure superior earnings growth.

Bajaj Finserv / Bajaj Finance (BJFIN)/(BAF) NBFCs
Performance remains robust, upgrade a notch. Bajaj Finance delivered another
quarter of robust performance with assertive medium-term business outlook. We
expect its growth momentum to moderate a bit but remain superior to peers. Bajaj
General continues to lead on profitability parameters with 97.5% combined ratio,
despite deteriorating yoy. Bajaj life business reported strong (24%) APE growth though
continues to have a tall task on the profitability front. We remain positive on the
superior performance of the Bajaj twins and take the recent stock correction as an
opportunity to upgrade by a notch: Bajaj Finserv (ADD from REDUCE; TP of Rs5,650
from Rs6,100) and Bajaj Finance (REDUCE from SELL; TP of Rs1,950 from Rs2,000).

Bajaj General: Combined ratio rises yoy but remains lower than peers
Bajaj General Insurance reported muted 6% growth in net earned premium in 2QFY19 due
to a lower quantum of crop insurance written in the quarter owing to unfavorable pricing in
the Kharif season. Adjusting for the impact of the same, net earned premium was up 20%
yoy. Gross written premium was up 23% yoy in 2QFY19 (adjusted for crop insurance) largely
from motor (52% of gross written premium in 2QFY19 adjusted for crop insurance) business
generated during the quarter.
Combined ratio saw a sharp rise in 2QFY19 to 97.2% largely owing to high claims (`629
mn) from the unfortunate occurrence of floods in Kerala. Adjusting for the impact of the
same, combined ratio was up 480 bps yoy to 93.6%; this ratio still remains superior to the
rest of the industry. Claims ratio (un-adjusted for impact of Kerala floods) increased to
68.2% in 2QFY19 from 67.9% in 1QFY19. The rise in claims led to a 37% yoy drop in
earnings.
We expect the business to deliver 19-20% net premium growth, about 96-97% combined
ratio and 22-25% RoE over the medium term.
Bajaj Life: Individual business picked pace
Bajaj Life Insurance reported 24% growth in individual APE in 2QFY19 while overall new
business premium was down 5% yoy. The company has been shifting focus to traditional
policies—share of par increased (35% of individual APE in 2QFY19 from 23% yoy) while
ULIP was down (61% of individual APE from 72% yoy). Ticket size saw an increase of 37%
yoy in 2QFY19 to `54,636. While growth has been muted, persistency has seen an uptrend
in the first three buckets. 13th and 37th month persistency ratios improved by ~500 bps and
400 bps on a yoy basis to 78% and 49% respectively in 1HFY19 while the improvement was
maximum in the 25th
month bucket (up 1,100 bps yoy to 64%)

Strong loan growth and robust cost control led to sharp rise in earnings
Bajaj Finance reported 54% growth in earnings as per Ind-AS in 2QFY19. Robust NII growth
and strong cost control were the key drivers. NII growth was driven by strong AUM growth
at 38% yoy to `1tn and marginal improvement in NIM (calculated) to 11.1% in 2QFY19
from 10.65% in 2QFY18. NIM was however down on qoq basis (30 bps) owing to rise in
cost of borrowings. Operating expenses growth was low at 25% yoy leading to
improvement in cost to average AUM by 25 bps qoq and 37 bps yoy to 4.1% in 2QFY19.
Asset quality performance deteriorated marginally. Reported stage-3 loans were up 10 bps
qoq to 1.5%. Total slippages in 2QFY19 were `4.8 bn in 2QFY19 compared to `3.8 bn in
1QFY19. The company has 86 bps coverage on stage-1 and 2 loans as compared to 89 bps
in 1QFY19. The coverage ratio for stage-3 loans dropped 400 bps qoq to 65%. The
company has Rs2-2.25 bn exposure to a lumpy infrastructure account; the loan is current
but Bajaj has made provision of 10% on the same.
Robust growth across all businesses; expect some moderation in 2H
Bajaj’s high loan growth was contributed by almost all business segments—consumer
businesses (38.6% of total loans) were up 39% yoy, mortgages (including LAP) was up 34%
yoy, SME lending saw strong increase at 34% yoy while rural and commercial lending
maintained momentum at 72% and 38% yoy growth respectively in 2QFY19. Within the
consumer B2B business, auto segment saw swift pace of growth at 42% yoy (38.2% of
consumer B2B business) while consumer B2C segment continued to deliver robust growth at
44% yoy (48.2% of overall consumer loans). The mortgage business (consolidated) saw
modest growth at 32% yoy in 2QFY19. Adjusting for loan against securities, the commercial
lending business saw sharp growth at 81% yoy in 2QFY19.
We are moderating our loan growth forecasts to 34% in FY2019E from 42% earlier to
reflect the current debt markets conditions. The company is well placed in the liquidity front
(discussed later) but a rise in the cost of funds may prompt the company to moderate its
trajectory and cherry pick relatively higher yield loans.

2QFY19: segmental trends
Strong cross-sell franchise of 30 mn customers. Large part of Bajaj’s loan growth has
been driven by its ability to acquire customers. It has a total franchise of 30.1 mn
customers (addition of 7 mn new to Bajaj Finance customers in the past four quarters).
Cross-sell of high-margin personal loans has driven loan growth in this segment over the
past few quarters.
Card franchise continues to scale up. Bajaj Finance has an EMI card base of 15.4 mn
(14.2 mn as of 1QFY19), compared to 11.6 mn credit cards for HDFC Bank as of August
2018, with growth in transaction volumes across segments such as consumer durables,
digital, lifestyle, etc. Bajaj Finance has also tied up with RBL Bank for its co-branded credit
card distribution business (card base of 0.67 mn; up from 0.5 mn qoq). Additionally, the
company has access to 0.33 mn active users via the Mobikwik app.
Consumer business loans up 39% yoy. Consumer finance loans grew 39% yoy to ₹388
bn. Loan growth in consumer B2B businesses (consumer durables, digital products, etc.)
was 34% while consumer B2C (EMI card, personal loans cross sell, etc.) was 44% yoy.
Within the consumer B2B business, the auto finance segment (2-W/3-W) saw steep
growth at 42% yoy in 2QFY19.
Business loans pick pace. Bajaj Finance had slowed growth in the business loan
segment post demonetization but has picked pace off-late driven by improvement in
collections and greater availability of data owing to GST implementation. Unlike other
private players, the company does not find any signs of stress in this segment. Business
loans are now classified in three key buckets, viz. commercial loans, SME loans and
mortgages.
Commercial loans (13% of total AUMs) include relatively low-yield and higher-ticket
loans such as rental discounting, vendor finance, corporate and warehouse finance,
etc. These loans had zero NPLs as of September 2018. The average ticket size in this
segment is around `100 mn with an upper limit of `500 mn. Loan against securities
comprises 55% of overall commercial lending book (up 15% yoy). Out of the
remaining 45% (up 81% yoy), lending to auto component manufacturers and FIG’s
comprised major share at 27% and 9.3% of overall commercial lending respectively.
Mortgages (up 32% yoy, 29% of AUMs on consolidated basis) are now booked under
its new subsidiary. These loans include home loans, LAP, developer loans, etc. Being a
secured business, the business reported GNPLs of 0.56% in June 2018 but saw a rise
in GNPL to 0.8% in 2QFY19. A transition of the business to a separate subsidiary has
improved management concentration, results of which are reflected in superior
expense control.

SME loans were up 33% yoy but just at about 13% of its AUMs. SME loans include
unsecured business loans and loans to professionals. GNPL in this segment continues
to be high at 1.9%. The company maintains a high coverage around 77% on this
portfolio.

Higher yields to offset rise in borrowings cost over medium-term
NIM to remain flat. We forecast NIM (calculated) to remain flat at 11.8% over FY2019-
20E (up from 11.3% in FY2018) driven by a rise in yields which will offset the current rise
in the cost of funds.
Rise in loan yields last month. Diversification in product mix towards higher share of
high yielding unsecured loans (as growth moderates a bit in 2H) supported by 20-50 bps
rise in yields across most products last month will likely improve yields from here on.
Borrowing cost rising, liquidity may not be a concern. We forecast borrowings cost
to increase 40 bps yoy to 8.4% in FY2019E and continue to inch up to 8.6% by
FY2021E. Cost of funds has seen a modest rise over the last few months. Its comfortable
capital position (tier I at 17.2%), positive ALM, strong parentage coupled with a AAA
rating are likely to provide comfort to debt markets and banks. We don’t envisage any
liquidity issues for the company over the near-term though cost of funding poses risk of
upside in the current environment especially given its high growth trajectory.
Raising public deposits to improving financial flexibility. In order to reduce its
dependence on bond markets and banks, the company has increased its share of public
deposits (up to 15% of overall borrowings from 8% in FY2017 and 12% in FY2018)—
however, a large part of the deposits are corporate. The company guided at increasing
this mix to ~22-25% of overall borrowings by FY2020E.

Flat qoq collection trends; rise in slippages qoq
Bajaj Finance continued to demonstrate robust asset quality driven by strong collections
across most buckets except the 2-W/3-W portfolio (though collections have been gradually
improving in this segment on a sequential basis). Collection efficiency in this segment has
increased to 88.3% as of 2QFY19 from 87.6% in 1QFY19 and 85.8% in 2QFY18. This
segment was impacted by demonetization as the end customer is below mass segment.
However, it bounced back significantly in the past few quarters prior to trend reversal in
1QFY19. Most segments now have collection efficiency of >98.5%.
Reported stage-3 loans however increased 10 bps qoq to 1.5% owing to a rise in slippages.
Total slippages were high at `4.8bn in 2QFY19 compared to `3.8 bn in 1QFY19.

HDFC Life reported 20% growth in earnings
HDFC Life reported PAT of Rs2.9 bn (up 20% yoy) in 2QFY19. Growth in underwriting profits
was strong at 15% to Rs2.3 bn. This absorbed modest (19% yoy) growth in new business strain
(Rs3.1 bn versus Rs3.2 bn in 1QFY19). ULIP, a segment in which new business strain is typically
high, was 53% of total APE, higher than 44% in 1QFY19.
Net flows remain strong in 2QFY19
HDFC Life reported 31% growth in new business premium and 26% growth in overall premium.
Coupled with control over benefit payouts (up 13% yoy) and management expenses (up 25%
yoy), net cash flows increased to Rs21 bn from Rs10.8 bn in 1QFY19. This trend may be volatile
and hence it may not be accurate to track the same on a quarterly basis.
VNB margin expands 66 bps yoy, flat qoq
HDFC Life’s VNB margins expanded 66 bps yoy to 24.3%, flat qoq. YoY margin expansion was
driven by an increase in the share of high margin products (non-par savings and protection).
Flat VNB margins qoq reflected an increase in the share of non-par savings to 9.4% (9% in
1QFY19) while protection business was down to 14.8% from 18.2% qoq.
Best in class margins; upgrade to ADD post significant stock correction
HDFC Life is the most profitable life insurance company with 21-22% operating RoEV and 22%
EVOP CAGR during FY2018-21E supported by best in class VNB margins of 24-25% and
favorable experience leading to positive operating variance. The company has focused on
innovating new products as required by the policyholders across savings, mortality/morbidity
and longevity. A new product can be copied by the market within a period of 18 months and
hence its strategy is to consistently add to its product suite. Recent additions include a deferred
annuity and joint life (ULIP) plan even as most competition is focusing on the protection
businesses.
HDFC Life has corrected by 25% in the last three months. Post the correction, the company
trades at 3.3X EV FY2020E. We are tweaking down our estimates to build in marginally lower
EV to reflect lower premium growth and negative investment variance in the last quarter. At our
revised price target of Rs380, the stock will trade at 3.6X FY2020E EV at our TP.
HDFC Standard Life Insurance (HDFCLIFE) NBFCs
Broadly on track. HDFC Life delivered 16% yoy VNB growth in 2QFY19 on the back of
13% APE growth and increase in its high-margin protection business to 14.8% of APE
from 12.2% in 2QFY18 but down from 18.2% qoq. RoEV was moderate at 15% yoy
due to lower volumes in 1H and large MTM losses in the debt book. While the medium-
term trends remain on track, the recent sharp stock correction provides an opportunity
to enter; upgrade to ADD from SELL with TP of Rs380 (down from Rs405).

66,372 in 1HFY18.
MTM losses hit EV growth; operating RoEV moderate at 18%, in line with
seasonal trends
HDFC Life reported annualized RoEV of 15% in 1HFY19. Operating RoEV was strong at
18.9%. Typically, the business has lower volumes in 1H and hence lower VNB; as such RoEV
accelerates towards the second half. During the quarter, the company has reported positive
variances on persistency, mortality and expenses. EV growth was weak due to investment
variance of Rs2.8 bn (1.8% of EV) on account of MTM losses on movement in interest rates.
About its annuity product
HDFC Life believes that annuity will be the next big product and has worked on this segment
for the last 30 months. Under the recently-launched deferred annuity product, the
policyholder pays a one-time lump sum (it's a single premium product) and gets an annuity
post completion of the deferment period, as chosen by the policyholder; the minimum age
of the policyholder should be 45. The company has worked hard for getting a full hedge by
tying up with marquee corporates. As such, EV sensitivity to change in interest rates remains
low at -/+2.1% for 1% rise/fall in interest rates. Margins are lower than protection but
higher than ULIP and par.

2QFY19: reaffirms scope of outperformance
ADSEZ reported a strong 21% yoy growth in volumes on (1) rebound in crude (Mundra) and
coal (across portfolio) and (2) sustained growth momentum in container (across portfolio). INR
depreciation benefits further boosted port revenue/EBITDA that grew 26/30% yoy. Given the
static market share for ADSEZ in FY2018, 2QFY19 reaffirmed the scope of share gains. More
outperformance would be a function of (1) start of Ennore operations, (2) evacuation concerns
at Dhamra getting relieved and (3) start of operations beyond containers at Kattupalli.
Forex impact and buildup in receivables limit improvement in balance sheet
While a 2.75X net debt to annualized 1HFY19 EBITDA is comforting (happens on a base with
limited SEZ income), we had anticipated a decline in absolute levels. Despite the `30 bn 1HFY19
port EBITDA being >2X capex spent and some part of container JV receivables getting paid
back, gross debt levels increased by `13 bn. Key drivers for this were (1) forex MTM impact,
(2) large increase in other financial assets (have largely related to SEZ income in the past) and
(3) investments in gas assets (would get transferred to Adani-Total JV in 3QFY19).
Higher cost of equity warranted given higher G-Sec yields and uncertainty in port financials
We increase our cost of capital/equity estimate by 130/100 bps to 12.0%/13.5%. Stiffer cost of
equity bakes in (1) increase in 10-year G-Sec yields and (2) uncertainty in forecasting ADSEZ’s
port-based income and EBITDA. On the latter, we note recent instances of restatement of such
metrics, possibly reflecting the complexities associated with a large consolidated portfolio. We
also note the scope of certain non-recurring items such as SEIS income in such metrics.
Cash flow mismatch on forex has a disproportionate impact on EPS, muted impact on SoTP
In our analysis, we assess stiff requirement on retaining forex-related benefits on top-line to
obviate the impact of repayment and servicing of forex debt over all periods of time. Improving
but still low capacity utilization comes in way and may lead to a cash-flow impact when the
US$650 mn bullet repayment happens in CY2020. The impact is disproportionate on near-term
earnings estimates and modest on SoTP—3% cut required at 10% higher ~`80/US$ rate.
Adani Ports and SEZ (ADSEZ) Infrastructure
Outperformance continues. ADSEZ’s good operational results despite evacuation
constraints at Dhamra and impending start of Kattupalli’s port operations beyond
container boost the case for it to outperform the market. Increase in debt levels, partly
driven by forex, is worrying. While we broadly retain our operational estimates (ex-forex),
we still lower SoTP to `390 (from `460) primarily on higher cost of capital to factor in
(2) higher G-Sec yields and (2) volatility in port-level financials. We expect modest
impact of forex movement on our SoTP.

2QFY19 results – all-round performance across volumes, margin and leverage
Notes: Exhibit 1– reported financials, Exhibit 2 – adjusted financials
Revenue growth led by all-round cargo growth. Adani Ports reported 2QFY19
revenues of `26 bn, up 18% when yoy financials are adjusted for port development
income of `5 bn, which was absent in this quarter. Port volumes grew 21% to 52 mn
tons and on half yearly basis, the company crossed the milestone of 100 mn tons for the
first time. Coal volumes grew 35% in the quarter led by resumption of coal imports by
Mundra power plant of Adani Power; crude volumes grew 42% due to higher offtake by
HMEL (unlike maintenance shutdown in 1QFY18) and IOCL. Container volumes continued
their strong double-digit growth at 16% in the quarter.
Another quarter of market share gains. The flagship Mundra port volumes grew 20%
in 2QFY19 while other ports registered even faster growth except Dhamra that continues
to suffer from shortage of rakes for evacuation. Total volume growth of 21% across
ADSEZ portfolio was much higher than 6% growth registered by major ports. Similarly,
container volume growth of 16% across ADSEZ portfolio was higher than 9% container
growth reported by major ports in the quarter. The company has thus continued to gain
market share.
Port EBITDA margin up 100 bps yoy. ADSEZ has once again met its target of achieving
100 bps improvement in 2QFY19 and 1HFY19. Port EBITDA margin thus stood at 70%
led by automation, better cargo mix and sweating of existing capacity.
Comfortable position on forex borrowings. Management maintains that as long as
the company has natural hedge on account of USD-denominated container pricing, it will
continue to prefer forex debt over domestic debt in order to save on interest costs.
Notwithstanding the MTM loss on forex debt, the company’s cumulative forex earnings
are expected to be more than cumulative forex payments (forex debt service + repayments)
in each period of the next 12/24/36/48/60 months. The management considers net debt
to EBITDA level of 3X as the threshold for comfort. Current net debt to EBITDA of 2.75X
continues to be in the comfort zone. The company has also made progress on recovery of
related party receivables such as that from CT3/CT4 JVs for port development/asset
transfer (down to `4.5 bn from `15 bn as of end-FY2018) and that from Adani Power for
coal imports. The management expects to fully receive outstanding balance from
CT3/CT4 JVs by end-FY2019.
Strategy and outlook. The management mentioned that ADSEZ will continue to pursue
strategy of cargo diversification and will try to get greater share of long-term contracts.
The company has guided for SEZ income of `8-10 bn, capex of `23-25 bn and FCF of
`17-20 bn in FY2019. Port EBITDA margin is expected to improve further to 71% by year-
end. Most of the capex will be consumed by expansion of Dhamra, Kattupalli and
construction of Vizhinjam port. The company also mentioned progress on establishment
of new ICDs in the logistics business as well as procurement of 11 rakes to mitigate
shortage for cargo evacuation at Dhamra. The sale and transfer of Dhamra LNG assets to
the new JV with Total SA will be completed by Dec-2018/Jan-2019 and these assets will
be removed out of the ADSEZ portfolio. On the international front, the strategy remains
to pursue greenfield developments in partnership with local players but the management
clarified that there are no concrete proposals under consideration at the moment.

Natural hedge against INR depreciation may not be enough; impact more on
estimates than on SoTP
Our analysis of the forex depreciation impact on Adani Ports throws some interesting
considerations. There are primarily three ways in which recent INR depreciation affects the
company:
Benefit on dollar-denominated container pricing. Globally, ports price their container
offerings in USD terms. Recent sharp depreciation of INR vs USD thus provides a benefit
to Adani Ports on topline. Adani Ports will have ~US$400 mn of dollar-denominated
revenues in FY2019E.
Impact on forex debt due to MTM losses as well as interest cost. Adani Ports has a
forex debt to the tune of US$2 bn on its balance sheet. INR depreciation thus affects
financials through (1) one-time exceptional marked-to-market loss on this forex debt and
(2) natural hedge available to interest payments will dampen the topline benefit on
container pricing to that extent.
Competitive pressure. A secondary impact could occur from lower pricing that can be
offered by competition; e.g. Gujarat Pipavav is a debt-free asset and thus does not suffer
from INR depreciation the way Adani Ports does due to its forex debt. Such a port can
potentially exert pricing pressure by lowering its USD pricing thereby passing on some of
the INR depreciation benefit to shipping lines.

Stiff requirement for Adani Ports to maintain US$ pricing over time
In the exhibit below, we bring out the quantum of the benefits of depreciation on revenues
that ADSEZ would need to retain in order to obviate the impact of such currency movement
on servicing and repayment of debt. While it may be reasonable to assume that 100%
depreciation benefits can be retained in the near term (US$-denominated rate contracts
fixed for a year), shipping lines may end up negotiating hard whenever the rates are due for
revision. Capacity utilization for west coast container terminals is likely to improve in FY2019
though it would still be at weak sub-60% until FY2020E and will thus lower the bargaining
power of port operators.
Our analysis suggests that, depending on the period of cash flow hedge, ADSEZ would need
to retain up to 9% quantum of the recent 14% yoy INR depreciation in its US$-
denominated port handling charges. The analysis takes into account the timing of forex debt
repayments and interest payments. It does not assume any further depreciation in currency
beyond current USD-INR rate of ~`74.
Exhibit 9: ADSEZ needs to retain 9% quantum of the 14% yoy INR depreciation benefits at the top-
line to compensate the cash-flow impact on its forex debt INR depreciation benefit that needs to be retained by ADSEZ to obviate the negate impact on US$-denominated debt
Source: Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Based on the repayment schedule of the company’s forex debt, FY2023, i.e. 5 years from
now will see a significant cash requirement. In order to meet that cash requirement in
FY2023, assuming INR does not depreciate further, Adani Ports will have to retain 9%
equivalent quantum out of the 14% yoy depreciation of INR vs USD seen in YTD FY2019.
While such benefits can be retained in the short term due to the fixed term of an ongoing
rate contract, shipping lines may drive a hard bargain when the contracts come up for
renewal. In such a scenario, weak capacity utilization of container ports on western coast
will reduce bargaining power of port operators including that of Adani Ports.

The evidence so far suggests that there has already been a modest pass-through of INR
depreciation benefits by port operators to shipping lines. While INR has depreciated ~14%
yoy, the INR-denominated tariffs for a large shipping line have gone up by only 4-7%
indicating that port operators have likely reduced the dollar pricing.

Notes:
(a) The above trend may belie the strength of tariffs at ports if it factors in a discount offered by shipping lines.
(b) Nhava Sheva – GTI has shown a higher tariff increase of 18% during this period. However, this increase
has been largely a result of commissioning of PSA’s container terminal at JNPT and subsequent one-time
upward revision of tariff at all the JNPT terminals.

Cash-flow mismatch unlikely to impact SoTP
Below we put a sensitivity of SoTP and FY2020E EPS to the end-FY2019 US$/INR rate and to
the extent of related INR depreciation benefits that ADSEZ would be able to retain. Our
analysis suggests a limited 3% impact on SoTP for a 10% further depreciation in currency.
The impact is much more for near-term EPS estimates given the Ind-AS requirement to book
MTM impact on all forex debt issued after April 1, 2016. Out of ~US$2 bn of forex debt of
ADSEZ, 50% was borrowed after April 1, 2016.

ADSEZ likely to gain share beyond west coast from FY2020 onwards
Specific factors at play in FY2018 and FY2019 have deferred the benefits of market share
gains that would have come ADSEZ’s way in a good growth environment. These factors
have largely impacted growth in liquid cargo (HMEL shutdown issue in FY2018) and coal
cargo (Mundra plant shutdown, limited rake availability for Dhamra). Modest
outperformance in container and impact of select new bulk cargo contracts with key
customers have helped ADSEZ grow market share by 50 bps/150 bps over the past 2/4
years. Beyond an in-line growth for ADSEZ on the west coast in FY2019, Dhamra and
Katupalli port should drive overall market share gains. We anticipate a 400 bps improvement
in market share to 19% over FY2019E-24E.
Broadly retain operational estimates; higher interest cost and MTM forex losses
lead to an optically large cut
We broadly retain our volume and EBITDA estimates for ADSEZ. Higher interest outgo
reflects the impact of a higher forex rate of `72/US$ (KIE estimate FY2019E) versus `65 in
FY2018. The Ind-AS treatment of INR depreciation on forex debt leads to a higher cut in
reported PAT. Excluding such impact, we bring down our EPS estimates by 1-2%.

(a) Note that recurring EPS estimate change is small at 1-4%. However, large INR depreciation adds MTM loss on forex debt leading to 27% cut in
reported PAT for FY2019E.

Revision in SoTP largely on account of a higher cost of capital
We increase our cost of capital/equity estimate by 130/100 bps to 12.0%/13.5%. Stiffer cost
of equity bakes in (1) increase in ten year G-Sec yields and (2) uncertainty in forecasting
ADSEZ’s port-based income and EBITDA. On the latter, we note recent instances of
restatement of such metrics, possibly reflecting the complexities associated with
consolidating a large portfolio of assets having business dependencies.
We also note the scope of certain non-recurring items within port income/EBITDA. For
instance, there is `4 bn asset related to export incentives and other receivables, a part of
which may be SEIS income included in the `73 bn port revenues and 70% port EBITDA
margin reported in FY2018. Another source of uncertainty in estimating port financials
relates to the income/PAT from container JVs that would not reflect in reported financials
due to Ind AS-related restrictions.

Protection business at 7.7% of APE; comparable VNB growth at 16% yoy
ICICI Prudential Life continued to focus on the protection business (7.7% of APE in 2QFY19,
up 375 bps yoy but down 50 bps qoq). APE growth improved to 4% yoy versus 18% decline in
1QFY19. Expansion in VNB margin to 17.5% led to 41% yoy growth in VNB to `3.5 bn; this
was largely due to higher tax rate assumptions in 2QFY18—the company had factored in
nominal tax rate in 2QFY18 as compared to the effective tax rate in 2QFY19; assuming
comparable tax rates and VNB margin of 16% in 2QFY18, VNB growth was about 16% yoy.
Retain BUY with TP of `475 (from `500)
Tweaking down growth forecasts. We are revising down our EVOP forecasts to factor
lower APE growth in FY2019E and higher margins largely due to increasing share of the
protection business. The company struggled on APE growth in 1QFY19 but is gradually
picking up. We expect the APE trajectory to improve further over the next few quarters.
We expect our margin expansion thesis to play out. We expect VNB margins at 18.5%
in FY2020E from 17.5% in 1HFY19 due to the following: (1) Increasing share of the protection
business—up to 7.9% in 1HFY18, secular growth from 2.7% in FY2016; the company has
seen growth across all three segments of protection, viz. individual, group and credit life.
(2) Improvement in persistency assumptions—current experience for 13th month bucket is
running at 250-270 bps higher than its assumptions. With improvement in persistency across
buckets, we find scope for upgrade in persistency assumptions by March 2019.
Two factors lead to downgrade in our EV forecasts. (1) Lower-than-expected growth
and (2) large investment variance due to MTM hit on its bond portfolio (about 1.5% of
opening EV). About 100 bps rise in interest rate reduces its EV by 2.1%.
Business trajectory to remain strong, retain BUY. Post the revision in estimates, we
expect the company to deliver 19% EVOP CAGR during FY2017-21E and 19% medium-term
operating RoEV. At our TP, the company will trade at 2.8X EV and 17X EVOP FY2020E.
Lower margins in the protection business due to heightened competition and increase in
surrenders due to prolonged weakness in capital markets are key risks.
ICICI Prudential Life (IPRU) NBFCs
Flat quarter. ICICI Prudential Life continued to focus on the protection business (7.7%
of its APE in 2QFY19) driving about 17.5% VNB margin even as premium growth was
muted; comparable VNB was up 16% yoy. Even as MTM losses hit its EV growth and
expenses ratios were a tad higher, secular margin expansion from the protection
business coupled with scope of expansion in margins due to better-than expected
persistency will support 19% EVOP CAGR during FY2017-21E. This drives our bullish
view on the stock. Retain BUY with TP of `475 (down from `500).

PAT down 29% yoy
ICICI Prudential Life reported PAT of `3 bn, down 29% yoy, largely on the back of new
business strain, MTM hit on investments and higher expenses during the period. Cash flows
to business (post expenses and commissions) improved to `28.6 bn from `14.6 bn in 2QFY18;
it would, however, be inaccurate to track this on a qoq basis.
Higher expense ratio in 2QFY19
ICICI Prudential Life reported expense-to-premium ratio of 15% in 2QFY19 as compared to
13.9% in 2QFY18 (17.3% in 1QFY19). Lower volume during the period coupled with
elevated expenses (publicity and marketing) led to rise in expense ratios. The cost/premium
of the savings business increased marginally (12.7% in 2QFY19 from 12.4% in 2QFY18,
11.8% in FY2018). Rising share of protection business will keep the ratio at elevated levels
though higher volumes in 2H will lead to some improvement.
Persistency remains high
ICICI Prudential Life reported stable persistency (retail, excluding single premium) of 85.2%
in the 13th month bucket in 5MFY19. Persistency improved across all other buckets over
1HFY18. The company has currently built in 13th
month persistency of 82.5% in its
assumptions; it achieved persistency of 85% in FY2018 and 1HFY19. With improving trends
continuing in FY2019E, we find upside to persistency assumptions, leading to higher VNB
margins.
EV growth weak due to investment variance and dividend payouts
ICICI Prudential Life reported 2% growth in EV in 1HFY19 to `192 bn. While VNB growth
was high at 41% (discussed above) leading to `13 bn of EVOP (7.1% of EV), large investment
variance of `3 bn (KS estimate) and dividend payout of `5.8 bn pulled down EV growth.
Capital consumption high; dividend payouts may decline
ICICI Prudential Life’s solvency ratio remained stable qoq at 234% in 2QFY19 but declined
from 276% in 2QFY18 on the back of high growth in protection business. The company has
two tools to manage solvency—(1) stop special dividend payouts and (2) raise tier-II capital
up to 25% of net worth. As of now, the company does not envisage capital issuance.

3QCY18 earnings—weak quarter due to increase in costs, muted realization
Ambuja’s standalone earnings were lower than our estimates—company reported revenues of
Rs26.1 bn (+13% yoy, -13% qoq), EBITDA of Rs3.5 bn (+1% yoy, -42% qoq) and net-income
of Rs1.8 bn (-34% yoy, -64% qoq), against our estimate of Rs25.5 bn, Rs5.2 bn and Rs2.9 bn,
respectively. The earnings miss was due to muted realizations (Rs4,790/ton, +1% qoq) and
increase in costs, especially other expenses—EBITDA/ton declined 33% qoq to Rs656/ton
(-7% yoy). We note that both ACC, Ambuja 3QCY18 earnings were weak relative to a strong
2QCY18 earnings print which was aided by improved realizations and contained costs.
Ambuja reported 2% qoq increase in costs (per ton) to Rs3,644/ ton (+4% yoy) largely due to
an increase in other expenses (Exhibit 4). Costs increased due to (1) 24% qoq increase in other
expenses to Rs917/ton (+5% yoy) due to higher packaging costs, annual maintenance costs and
weak seasonal volumes, partially offset by (2) 2-3% qoq decline in energy, logistics costs—the
company’s reported energy costs declined by 2% qoq compared to an increase reported by
peers.
Consolidated earnings—both standalone and ACC results were weak versus a strong 2Q
Ambuja reported consolidated revenues of Rs60.2 bn (+12% yoy, -12% qoq), EBITDA of Rs8 bn
(+4% yoy, -36% qoq) and net-income of Rs2.9 bn (+10% yoy, -45% qoq). Consolidated sales
volumes increased 9% yoy to 12 mn tons (-12% qoq) while EBITDA/ton declined 27% qoq to
Rs670/ton (-5% yoy). EBITDA/ton declined as cost (per ton) increased 6% qoq to Rs4,340/ ton
(+4% yoy) due to higher energy costs and other expenses
We maintain REDUCE rating with revised target price of Rs195 (Rs210 earlier)
In 9MCY18, ACEM’s consolidated volumes increased by 7% yoy to 39 mn tons as the plant
utilization improved to 82%. ACC at present is not investing in new projects while ACEM is
commissioning a 1.7 mtpa capacity in Rajasthan (by 2020). We believe the company’s volume
growth will be constrained in 1-2 years unless it drives more capacity additions. We have cut
our EBITDA estimate by 5-7% for CY2018-20E due to weak prices, cost pressures. Our target
price is revised to Rs195 (Rs210 earlier). We maintain REDUCE rating on expensive valuations.
The stock trades at 12X/10X CY2018-19E EBITDA (attributable).
Ambuja Cements (ACEM) Cement
Earnings disappoint. ACEM’s earnings were lower than our estimates—standalone
EBITDA declined 42% qoq to Rs3.6 bn (+1% yoy) due to 33% qoq decline in
EBITDA/ton to Rs660 on the back of cost increase, muted realization. ACEM as well as
ACC saw the improved cost performance of 2QCY18 weaken in 3Q resulting in 27%
qoq decline in consolidated EBITDA/ton. We cut our EBITDA estimate by 5-7% for
CY2018-20E and target price to Rs195 (Rs210 earlier). Maintain REDUCE rating on
expensive valuations—stock trades at 12X/10X CY2018/19E EBITDA (attributable).

Changes in our estimates
Exhibit 6 highlights key changes in our estimates.
Ambuja standalone—lower EBITDA estimate by 8-12%. We keep our volume
estimate unchanged at 24.6 mn tons, 26.5 mn tons and 28.4 mn tons for CY2018E,
CY2019E and CY2020E. We cut our realization assumption by 1-2% and tweak our cost
assumptions—this results in a decline in our standalone EBITDA estimate by 8-12% to
`20.4 bn, `24.9 bn and Rs28 bn for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. We estimate
standalone EPS of `6.6, `8.1 and `9.4 for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E.
Ambuja consolidated—EBITDA estimate cut by 5-7% as we incorporate revised
estimates of ACC. The above revision combined with our earlier change in ACC’s
estimates results in a 5-7% cut in our consolidated EBITDA estimates. We estimate
consolidated EBITDA of `39.6 bn, `46.2 bn and Rs51.8 bn for CY2018E, CY2019E and
CY2020E. We estimate consolidated EPS of `7.7, Rs9.7 and `11.3 for CY2018E,
CY2019E and CY202E.
Our target price of Rs195/share is based on March 2020E financials.

Key highlights from 3QCY18 results
Realizations—ACEM’s standalone realizations increased 1% qoq to Rs4,790/ ton
(+4% yoy). We note that the company has large dependence on North (40%) and West
markets (40%) and per our channel checks, cement prices improved by 3% qoq in North
markets but declined 1% qoq in the Western region during the quarter.
Profitability and costs—ACEM’s EBITDA/ton declined 33% qoq to Rs656/ton (-7% yoy)
in 3QCY18 largely due to an increase in costs. Exhibit 4 highlights major costs (on per ton
basis) reported by the company, which increased by 4% yoy to Rs3,640/ ton (+4% yoy,
+2% qoq). We highlight that ACEM’s energy cost has only increase by 4% yoy to
Rs1,002/ton (-2% qoq), much lower than 19% yoy cost increase reported by Ultratech
(Rs,1099/ton, +7% qoq). The company has highlighted that improved efficiency
parameters have aided in containing energy costs.
Greenfield project in Rajasthan. Ambuja is investing in a new Greenfield project in
Rajasthan—the company will set up a 3.1 mtpa clinkerisation plant at Marwar Mundwa.
The project will be set-up in two phases, in the first phase Ambuja will invest Rs13.9 bn
for setting up a 1.7 mtpa clinkerization capacity expected to be commissioned by
2HCY20. We highlight that Ambuja’s standalone capacities operated at close to 81%
utilization in 9MCY18.
ACC—realizations disappoint, energy cost increases after stellar 2QCY18
ACC’s earnings missed our and consensus estimates—the company reported revenues of
Rs33.6 bn (+10% yoy, -11% qoq), EBITDA of Rs3.7 bn (+6% yoy, -31% qoq) and net-
income of Rs2.1 bn (+16% yoy, -37% qoq) against our estimate of Rs34.5 bn, Rs5.5 bn and
Rs3.3 bn respectively. Volumes increased 10% yoy to 6.6 mn tons (-10% qoq) and were
higher than our estimate of 6.4 mn tons. EBITDA/ton declined 25% qoq to Rs538/ton
(-4% yoy) largely due to a 2% qoq decline in realizations and cost increase. The company’s
3QCY18 earnings are weak compared to strong earnings reported in 2QCY18.
Realizations decline 2% qoq in 3QCY18. The earning miss was largely due to lower-
than expected realizations, which declined 2% qoq to Rs4,760/ton against our estimate
of a marginal increase. As per our checks, in 3QCY18 cement prices were up in Central
and North region (40% of volumes) but declined in South, West (40% of volumes). We
highlight that ACC’s 2QCY18 realizations increased 5% qoq to `4,840/ton and were
higher than those of peers and our estimate.
Energy cost rises after a decline in 2QCY18. Energy cost increased by 8% qoq to
Rs1,110/ton in 3QCY18. We note that in 2QCY18, ACC’s fuel cost had declined by
1% qoq to Rs1,032/ton (+2% yoy) in contrast to the increase in pet-coke prices, weaker
INR/US$. We believe ACC may have gained from low priced contracts, inventory in
2QCY18. ACC’s total cost increased 3% qoq to Rs4,570/ton (+1% yoy) due to high
energy costs, other expenses.

Strong quarter aided by strong volume growth; challenging times ahead in 2HFY19
TVS Motor reported net profit of `2.1 bn (-1 yoy), which was 5% below our estimates, in
2QFY19 due to lower other income and higher-than-expected interest and depreciation
expenses. Net sales of `49.9 bn (+23% yoy) in 2QFY19 were 1.9% above our estimates. The
company has changed accounting for booking interest income related to income from customer
contracts such as advance bookings and dealer advances, which are now classified under
operational income. Other income pertaining to interest income was `100 mn in 2QFY19;
adjusted for this, income revenue was higher than our estimates due to a better product mix
and higher-than-expected export realization.
Volume growth was 14.7% yoy in 2QFY19. Domestic volume growth was 11% yoy while
export volumes grew by 35.2% yoy. Gross margin came in at 24.2% in 2QFY19 (-260 bps yoy),
which was 40 bps below our estimates possibly due to the impact of increase in raw material
prices. Staff costs rose by 11% in 2QFY19 led by increase in minimum wages by Karnataka and
Tamil Nadu. Other expenses increased by only 5% yoy due to lower marketing expenses, which
led to operating leverage benefit. EBITDA margin was 8.6% in 2QFY19 (-30 bps yoy, +90 bps
qoq), which was in line with our estimates.
TVS’ domestic market share improves by 210 bps qoq in 2QFY19
Market share of TVS in the domestic two-wheeler industry was 15.0% in 2QFY19 (+210 bps
qoq) led by 400 bps qoq increase in market share in the scooter segment. Ntorq scooters have
been received well by customers and helped the company gain market share. Hero Motocorp
has launched Destiny 125 scooter to target Ntorq and Activa 125cc in October 2018. We
expect competitive intensity to escalate in the 125cc scooter segment.
Cut FY2019-21E standalone EPS estimates by 2-3%; reiterate SELL on expensive valuations
We have cut our FY2019-21E EPS estimates by 2-3% primarily due to increase in depreciation
and interest expenses. The stock is extremely expensive at 30X FY2020E EPS even after building
in 12% EPS CAGR over FY2018-21E. Reiterate SELL rating; SoTP-based target price is
unchanged at `350.
TVS Motor (TVSL) Automobiles
Good quarter but festive season off to a weak start. TVS reported strong 2QFY19
results as EBITDA grew by 18% yoy. EBITDA margin improved to 8.6% in 2QFY19 (+90
bps qoq) led by operating leverage benefit. We expect domestic two-wheeler industry
growth to slow down in 2HFY19 as the festive season has started off on a weak note.
We believe that valuations at 30X FY2020E EPS are unjustified as the company will find
it very difficult to gain market share in the two-wheeler industry. Double-digit EBITDA
margin is unlikely in FY2019-20E. SELL stays.

Conference call takeaways
Slow start to festive season. The company highlighted that the festive season kicked off
to a slow start given increase in vehicle prices due to insurance cost and confusion around
the same. The company is hopeful of demand recovery going ahead and expects 10%
volume growth for the industry in FY2019E. We are more cautious on industry growth
outlook and expect 5% CAGR for industry growth over FY2018-21E. The company will
look to gain share in the domestic market led by success of new launches and continued
strong traction in the scooters segment. Dealer inventory levels are around 4-5 weeks.
Price increases and cost pressures. The company had taken another 0.5% price
increase in 1QFY19, 0.6% in 2QFY19 and another 40-50 bps in October 2018. But this
will be offset by further increase in commodity costs. The company expects RM cost to
inch higher in 2HFY18; import content for the company is around 14% of overall RM cost
currently, which it is targeting to reduce to 10% by end-FY2019. The company will look
to further reduce costs through value engineering, localization, platform consolidation,
other cost-reduction efforts (lower marketing spend to sales), etc. to improve profitability
going ahead.
Capex and investments in subsidiaries. The company increased its FY2019E capex
guidance to ₹8 bn (from `7 bn earlier); the capex will be largely incurred for product
development and upgrading products to meet new emission norms. The company has a
manufacturing capacity of 4.8 mn units; therefore, there is no need to invest on capacity
expansion next year. TVS has invested `553 mn in subsidiaries this quarter, which
includes `300 mn in TVS Credit Services and `253 mn in TVS Motor Singapore in 2QFY19
and `1.1 bn in 1HFY19.
Performance of TVS Credit Services. The loan book of TVS Credit Services (engaged in
financing of vehicles) was `70 bn at the end of September 2018 (`60 bn in March 2018);
profit before tax was `0.9 bn in 1HFY19 (`1.7 bn in FY2018). Net profit was `0.3 bn in
1QFY19 and `0.5 bn in 1HFY19 (`1.1 bn in FY2018). Networth of TVS Credit Services

Strong performance in residential business, steady metrics for annuity portfolio
Oberoi Realty had operating cash flows of Rs452 mn for 2QFY19 compared to cash flows of
Rs42 mn in 2QFY18 and negative cash flow of Rs2 bn for FY2018. Oberoi Realty continued to
report a robust performance with sales of Rs5.7 bn (+61% yoy) and collections of Rs5.6 bn
(+287% yoy) in 2QFY19. The operational performance kept up the momentum seen in 1QFY19
which cumulatively makes it the best performance for the company since the launch of Oberoi
Sky City in 3QFY16. Earnings from the rental business also grew 36% yoy to Rs782 mn owing
to higher occupancy of 63% at Commerz II, while the hotel business reported 10% yoy growth
in revenues at Rs321 mn aided by increase in RevPAR to Rs7,055/day from Rs6,416/day in
2QFY18.On a consolidated basis, Oberoi reported revenues of Rs5.9 bn (+95% yoy) and EBITDA
of Rs2.9 bn (+81% yoy) that yielded a PAT of Rs2.1 bn (+106% yoy). Lower-than-estimated
revenue was on account of lower revenue recognition in the residential business. Residential
business saw revenues of Rs4.7 bn with margins of 45%, while the rental business as well as
hotel segment saw margin expansion.
Residential business was supported by strong sales at Sky City, Exquisite and Three Sixty West
Oberoi Realty maintained the sales momentum first seen in 1QFY19, with sales of Rs5.7 bn
comprising among others (1) Rs2.2 bn (+194% yoy) at Three Sixty West, (2) Rs1.3 bn (+48%
yoy) at Oberoi Sky City, and (3) Rs1.1 bn (+7% yoy) at Esquire. Growth in collections should
also be seen in the context of the transition phase due to implementation of RERA and GST in
2QFY18. Blended realizations at Rs23,781/sq. ft were up 17% yoy owing to the higher
contribution of Three Sixty West in the overall sales mix. On an asset basis, prices firmed up at
Oberoi Sky City as well as Esquire, though sales at lower floors saw prices at Three Sixty West
drop to Rs43,402/sq. ft. On a reported basis (Ex-TSW), margins for the residential business
narrowed slightly to 45% compared to 50% in the preceding periods.
Oberoi has a liquid balance sheet well placed to capitalize on opportunities in the sector
Improved execution at the larger under construction projects, new launch activity at extant land
parcels and conclusion of the acquisition at Thane are likely triggers for Oberoi Realty going into
FY2019.
Oberoi Realty (OBER) Real Estate
Sales momentum maintained. Oberoi Realty maintained the pick-up in sales since
1QFY19, with sales of Rs5.7 bn in 2QFY19 with healthy growth at Oberoi Skycity and
Three Sixty West. Annuity portfolio will see a further step-up in earnings as Commerz II
will improve occupancy to 97% giving further stability to an already liquid balance
sheet. Maintain BUY rating though cut target price to Rs460/share (from Rs560/share)
as we prune realization estimates and prolong sales cycle across the portfolio while
eliminating premium to NAV on future asset build-up.

Improving room rates for the hotel property as well as higher occupancy at Commerz II will
further supplement the contribution from the investment portfolio, while conclusion of
construction at TSW coupled with re-imbursement of construction cost (with interest) will
curtail incremental cash drain for the project. We have revised our target price to
Rs460/share (from Rs560/share) primarily as we remove option value for growth in the
current environment, as well as moderate sales and pricing assumptions.
Commerz II to hit 97% occupancy in 3QFY19E
Earnings from commercial and hospitality business remained stable as the company reported
revenues of Rs782 mn (+36% yoy) and Rs321 mn (+10% yoy) respectively. Operations at
Oberoi mall reported improvement in margins due to renewal of lease contracts at higher
rates even though occupancy declined by 182 bps yoy. Decline in revenues for Commerz I
was due to (1) decline in rentals by 5% yoy to Rs137 per sq. ft (Rs143 per sq. ft in 1QFY19)
and (2) occupancy by 440 bps to 77.7% in 2QFY19.
Commerz II (Phase 1) currently operating at lower occupancy of 63% is likely to see an
increase to 97% by 3QFY19E as the company leased additional space of 0.24 mn sq. ft
during the quarter.
In the hospitality segment, revenues and EBITDA at Westin Hotel increased to Rs321 mn
(+10% yoy) and Rs 107 mn (14% yoy) respectively. Occupancy improved to 81% in 2QFY19
(78% in 2QFY18) along with improvement in ARR to Rs8,715 per day from Rs8,224 per day
in 2QFY18.
Liquid balance sheet, completed projects places Oberoi ahead of peers
Reinforcing its view highlighted earlier, Oberoi’s management expressed relief on the recent
credit-crisis in the sector, that it believes will bring a shift towards larger organized
developers. As per management, a credit crisis by local developers was long anticipated as
they piled on debt to buy land parcels with less definite plans to monetize the same. Such a
situation is likely to work in Oberoi’s favor as land parcels would now be available at the
“right” price as there would be fewer takers for the same.
According to the management, there is little or no finished inventory available with the
unorganized developers (in Mumbai region). As for Oberoi, the company has largely been
reliant on its cash flows for development of new projects and as such is unlikely to face any
delays on part of credit availability.
Oberoi and the growth path going forward
Oberoi, in-line with its prudent cash management policy, has slowly started to build up its
annuity portfolio. Upcoming mall in Borivali and Worli are likely to provide annual cash flows
of Rs 3 bn and Rs 3.5 bn respectively and construction for the same is to commence shortly.
These malls are expected to come up at a cost of Rs4,000 psf (on GLA basis).
The company has currently released Towers A-D for sale in Sky City and is constructing
Tower E. Construction at towers F-H is to commence post sales completion at Towers A-D.
With 97% of space at Commerz II leased out, Oberoi is likely to start construction of
Commerz III.
As per management, sales at Three Sixty West are likely to pick up (current inventory of 150
flats) as the company would release higher floors (above 48th
) for sale. All payments for land
parcel in Thane are now complete and a project launch is expected in 4QFY19 or early
1QFY20.

Upgrade to ADD on attractive valuations; stock trades at 12X FY2020E earnings
We have been negative on HCLT’s business model for a fairly long time. These concerns emanate
from single-service line dependence (IMS) for growth, underinvested applications portfolio and
of late capital allocation. The concerns have not abated. In fact, slowing organic growth and
high acquisition appetite make the current EBIT margin guidance band of 19.5-20.5%
unsustainable (our FY2020-21E EBIT margin forecast stands at 18.5-19%). However, our
concerns are adequately captured in the stock price underperformance; in fact, the stock has
barely moved in the past 12 months despite sector-wide benefits from rupee depreciation and
acceleration in growth. The stock now trades at attractive12X FY2020E earnings. This combined
with good deal wins and likely pickup in growth rates in IMS in the near term creates an
opportunity to generate reasonable returns. Our EPS estimates and target price of `1,100
remain unchanged. Upgrade to ADD valuing the stock at 14X September 2020E earnings.
Results in line; IMS growth higher than earlier quarter
HCLT reported constant-currency revenue growth of 3%, in line with our estimate. Revenues
include ~US$21 mn contribution from Actian Corporation and some contribution from IP acquired
in the previous quarter. Organic constant-currency revenue growth rate stood below 2%.
Revenue growth in IMS picked up and grew 2.5% sequentially and 4.4% yoy. Application
services was weak and grew at modest 0.4% qoq and 1.8% yoy. EBIT margin of 19.9% increased
20 bps qoq on the back of rupee depreciation (+90 bps) and productivity improvements (+80
bps), offset to some extent by wage revision (-70 bps), higher SG&A (-50 bps) and other
operational factors (-30 bps). Net profit of `25.4 bn grew 5.7% qoq and 16.1% yoy and was
ahead of our estimate due to higher-than-expected other income and lower-than-expected tax
rate.
Revenue growth guidance scaled up to mid-point 9.5-11.5% range
Management is confident of a strong 2H as some of the large IMS deals (such as Nokia) flow
through revenues. Guidance implies 3% revenue CQGR over the next two quarters. Management
indicated that organic revenue growth contribution in FY2019 will be higher in the overall growth
composition compared to the assumption at the beginning of the year. The company has
retained EBIT margin guidance band of 19.5-20.5% and expects better EBIT margin in 2HFY19.
HCL Technologies (HCLT) Technology
Upgrade on attractive valuations. We upgrade HCLT to ADD from REDUCE on
attractive valuations with the stock trading at 12X FY2020E earnings. Our structural
concerns on the business model persist—continued deflationary pressure in IMS,
underinvestment in digital and questionable capital allocation. However, these concerns
are captured in the steep stock price underperformance. Reasonable deal wins and
likely step-up in organic revenue growth in the near term are comforting. We value
HCLT at 14X September 2020E earnings. Target price and EPS remain unchanged.

IMS growth picks; however, deflationary pressures persist
IMS revenues grew 2.5% sequentially and 4.4% yoy. Growth rates have recovered from a
low of 2.0% yoy in 1QFY19 to 4.4% in the current quarter and can improve further. We
note that IMS growth slowed down over the past 18 months due to a mix of things—impact
from shift of workloads to public cloud, renewals of its own deals, a more aggressive
competition and increasing trend of bundling of deals.
Management indicated that impact on revenues from renewals of old IMS deals will continue
in FY2020E albeit at marginally lower than FY2019. The company expects most of the deals
to be reconfigured to cloud and next-gen services by FY2021E.
Application services—the struggle continues
Application services grew at insipid 0.4% qoq and 1.8% yoy. The company attributed weak
numbers to continued pressure in traditional areas such as SAP and a couple of client-
specific issues.
Weak application is not a new concern. In fact, this service offering has not grown in double
digits in the past 6 years (Exhibit 7) and has seen growth rates slide down progressively.
Reason? The company has been underinvested in the offerings for many years and has done
little to address this issue. It is interesting to note that out of the 21 inorganic initiatives, the
company has barely acquired anything in application services. It is not as if this segment is
short of acquisition candidates. HCLT’s competitors have snapped up many small digital
companies in the cloud apps, digital studios and customer experience management space.
It is surprising to see that an acquisitive company like HCLT Is missing from that list of
acquirers.
Acquisitions of IP likely to continue
HCLT’s revenues from Mode 3 offerings have hit the US$1 bn run-rate. The company is
investing heavily in own platforms and products. The company has started investing in
products and platforms sales program. The company will also aggressively pursue licensing
of IPs from product vendors where the core product needs transformation to be relevant in
future, is in the focus areas and is available at the right price.
… and so does our concern on acquisition strategy of the company
At the risk of repetition, our discomfort with HCLT’s acquisition strategy continues. We favor
acquisitions to augment digital capabilities or the ones that can provide meaningful revenue
synergies. HCLT has demonstrated risk-taking appetite through 10 IP deals and 12 acquisitions
in the past three years. A few ERD acquisitions are encouraging, though the broader emphasis
on IP deals and certain non-strategic acquisitions are disappointing. We are especially
disappointed with three recent acquisitions, viz. C3i, Actian and H&D. These acquisitions will
provide revenue kicker but does not help bring in anything differentiated or new.
We do hope that aggressive acquisitions do not lead to slowdown of organic growth
endeavors and will be an important element to focus on. And so does the implications for
profitability of the strategy.

Key highlights from earnings call
Margin walk-through. HCLT’s EBIT margin increased 20 bps sequentially to 19.9% due
to (1) 70 bps headwind from wage increments, (2) 50 bps headwind from SG&A costs
and (3) 30 bps negative impact from seasonality and other headwinds offset by (4) 90 bps
tailwind from rupee depreciation net of cross-currency movements and (5) 80 bps
tailwind from productivity benefits.
Guidance. HCLT retained constant-currency revenue growth guidance of 9.5%-11.5%.
The company expects to deliver in the midpoint of the guided range, i.e. 10.5%. EBIT
margin guidance was also unchanged at 19.5%-20.5%. The company plans to reinvest
gains from rupee depreciation.
Mode 2 & Mode 3 margins. HCLT reported 400 bps sequential decline in Mode 2 EBIT
margin to 10.8%. Volatility in Mode 2 margins will continue in the short term due to
investments. The company expects margin expansion as Mode 2 revenues scale up. HCLT
expects Mode 3 margins to stay in the 24-25% range on an annualized basis.
Application services outlook. Management reported that while traditional services such
as SAP faced pressure, the company has been able to defend share during renewals by
helping clients migrate to digital.
IMS. HCLT expects vendor consolidation trend to continue in IMS. Management is of the
view that the company is well-positioned to benefit from the trend, especially among US
clients. HCLT is able to offset revenue loss from pricing pressure during renewals by
offering additional services.
Europe outlook. Europe geography revenues declined 0.9% sequentially in c/c terms.
Management reported that the weak growth was due to softness in a couple of financial
services clients in the geography (HCLT reported weak financial services revenue growth
of 0.1% in c/c terms). Though HCLT expects the weakness in the client accounts to
continue in the near term, it is optimistic on better revenue growth in Europe in the next
couple of quarters based on order flows.
Client metrics. US$100 mn client bucket was flat at 9 while number of US$50 mn clients
decreased by 1 to 31 sequentially. Number of US$20 mn clients was up by 3 sequentially
to 90.
Tax rate. HCLT reported a tax rate of 21.1%, which was lower than our estimate of
23.0%. The company has guided for a tax rate of 22-23% for the rest of the fiscal.
Capital allocation. HCLT completed share buyback of `40 bn announced in the previous
quarter on October 11, 2018. The company has declared an interim dividend of `2/share
for the quarter.

Consistent performance on most operating metrics
RBL Bank reported a solid performance on most operating metrics. Earnings grew 36% yoy on
the back of 40% yoy revenue growth led by healthy NII growth of 41% yoy and 38% yoy
growth in non-interest income. Gross and net NPL ratios were stable qoq at 1.4% and 0.7%
with credit costs at ~1% of loans. Slippages were low at 1.3% of loans but agriculture remains
the key area of concern. Cost-income ratio was stable qoq at ~51%.
Dependence on unsecured business to drive revenue growth remains high
As we have been highlighting in our previous notes, the bank is building a balance sheet that is
different from other private banks. Revenues are being built on two risky pillars—(1) MFI
business and (2) credit cards. The revenues from these two businesses will aid investments and
RoE improvement. The MFI business is back on track after having gone through a tough phase
post demonetization while the credit card business is yet to reach peak profitability due to high
acquisition costs. The bank has indicated that it would like to see its card base closer to 3 mn by
FY2021 from 1.2 mn currently (0.6 mn in 2QFY18). RoEs/earnings risks are quite high and may
have to be revised sharply given the duration of these loans, in case of cycle reversal.
Investments at the bank level beyond these two businesses seem below normalized trends
The growth in operating expenses (33% yoy) shows greater emphasis on non-staff expenses
(52% yoy) as compared to staff costs (5% yoy) as there was negligible growth in headcount
(3% yoy) and branch addition (22 yoy and two branches qoq). While the management has
highlighted that investments on other businesses have not slowed but moved towards alternate
channels, we believe asset-side expenses are taking a higher share than estimated earlier.
Upgrade to ADD from REDUCE earlier; TP unchanged
We upgrade RBL Bank to ADD from REDUCE with an unchanged TP of `500 valuing the bank
at 2.3X book and 16X September 2020E EPS for RoEs in the range of 13-15% in the short
term. Recent underperformance gives us an opportunity to turn positive after being negative
since our initiation. RoE improvement is likely to be gradual as the pace of growth in balance
sheet implies capital infusion is needed to maintain its current pace of loan growth.
RBL Bank (RBK) Banks
Turning positive. RBL Bank delivered a solid performance on most operating metrics
with earnings growth of ~36% yoy on the back of 40% yoy revenue growth. Loan
growth was strong at 37% yoy and NIM saw a marginal improvement partly reflecting
the shift in asset mix. RoE improvement is steady but the bank needs capital to sustain
the current pace of growth. We upgrade the stock to ADD (TP unchanged) from REDUCE,
post the recent underperformance, after being negative on the stock since our initiation.

Exhibit 2: RoA remains broadly stable at ~1.2% for the past few quarters RoE decomposition, March fiscal year-ends, 2QFY17-2QFY19 (%)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Stable trends on asset quality; NPLs in the agriculture portfolio peak
RBL Bank reported stable gross NPL and net NPL of 1.4% and 0.7%, respectively in
2QFY19. The net stressed assets are quite negligible. Slippages marginally declined by 20
bps qoq to 1.3% in 2QFY19. MFI portfolio saw improvement in GNPL as it declined to
1.5% of loans from 2% of loans in 1QFY19. Provision coverage (calculated) increased to
47% (up ~70 bps qoq).
RBL’s GNPL saw stable performance in the corporate segment at 0.5%. GNPL in the
commercial banking space marginally increased to 3% (up ~30 bps qoq). Additionally,
there was marginal deterioration in asset quality for the retail portfolio by ~15 bps qoq
(GNPL at 1.6% of loans). GNPL in the agriculture portfolio has observed a very sharp
increase of 200%. Write-offs have been primarily in the credit cards and MFI portfolio.
As the company rapidly expands its card base, retail asset quality needs to be monitored
going ahead. The bank has a negligible exposure of `150 mn to IL&FS through a
guarantee and a minor derivative position which the bank currently needs to pay to the
client. The exposure to NBFC and real estate is towards better-rated companies where the
management indicated that the risk of default is quite low.
In line with our conservative stance, we expect gross NPL of around 1.6-2% and credit
costs of 100 bps over the medium term (FY2018-20E).

Robust loan growth at ~37% yoy; retail dominates growth at 45% yoy
RBL’s 37% yoy and ~9% qoq loan growth was driven by 33% yoy growth in the wholesale
book while the non-wholesale book has grown by 23% yoy. Last quarter saw a change in
the loan portfolio definition with the agriculture portfolio now getting distributed between
commercial banking and retail assets.
Within the non-wholesale book, retail assets were solid at 45% yoy followed by DB&FI
which witnessed 37% yoy growth. Within the retail book, credit cards and personal loans
witnessed highest growth. A total of 0.26 mn new credit cards (total outstanding of 1.2 mn
cards) were issued in 2QFY19. Within DB&FI, micro-banking and MSME business (on a low
base) saw rapid growth at 55-60% yoy. The company is swiftly increasing its BC network to
grow this book at a fast pace. Additionally, geographic diversification remains paramount
for this business (the company is present in 19 states with no state contributing more than
15% of the business).

The importance of the two lines of business: ~35% of revenues
We are making marginal modifications to the table that we have reported last quarter.
Exhibit 16 shows the contribution of the credit card and MFI business. This is a pure
hypothetical exercise based on external and internal inputs. The management has not given
us any specific number on any line item and we have used the performance of other MFI for
the bank’s MFI business and the performance of SBI Cards and Payment Services for the
credit card business of RBL. Based on this exercise we probably see the importance of these
two businesses, which contribute ~15% of the overall loan book. We believe that the card
and MFI business contributes 16-17% of revenues each.
The management highlighted that the portfolio is generating returns better than the bank’s
reported numbers. The throughputs of the cards business have been quite impressive when
we look at the number of transactions, spends and average transaction/card (see Exhibit
below). The conversion to term loans is quite stable at ~20% and these loans are for less
than 6 months. Fees are quite healthy with ~40% from interchange and the balance split
between annual, processing and others fees (late payment, penal, forex, write-back, etc.).
We estimate that these two businesses could be contributing 30% of the overall expenses of
the bank. The management indicated that it would want a substantial increase in its credit
card base in FY2019 (1.8 mn from 1.2 mn currently) and 3 mn by FY2020 and 5 mn by
FY2021. This would entail quite a lot of expenses upfront as most of it would be origination
costs. We don’t have the contractual details that the bank has with Bajaj Finance.
On the other hand, the MFI business is seeing two good tailwinds. Growth has picked up
and NPL risk is receding. This implies one could see significant contribution to profits from
this business in the next few quarters.

(b) Interest on loans in credit card is ~35%. However, we have used 20% in our estimates as the “receivables”, which is reported as loans in the
credit cards also include customers who repay on time. The implied rollover rate is ~55% when we take an average yield of 20%. We have used
a provision charge of ~3% of loans.
(c) We have used revenue and opex/card based on SBI Cards. This is a separate arm of SBI which is into the credit card business of the group.

Traction is SA was modest at ~11% yoy (up 4% qoq) growth while CA growth was
relatively stronger at 77% yoy (up 9% qoq). CASA ratio was stable qoq at 25% of deposits.
Currently CA and SA have similar shares in CASA at ~50% each. The average cost of savings
account balances was broadly unchanged at 6.3% with the deposits greater than `10 mn
maintained at ~40%.
We estimate ~27% CASA ratio by FY2020E driven by ~40% CAGR increase in SA balances
during FY2017-20E.

Other highlights for the quarter
NIM improves yoy. NIM improved ~10 bps qoq to 4.1%. Yield on advances increased
20 bps qoq to 10.9% in 2QFY19 though this was offset by a marginal increase in cost of
funds to 6.4% in 2QFY19. The yield on wholesale book remained stable during the
quarter. In light of the change in the loan mix we are building a NIM to remain at
elevated levels though there is likely to be some pressure on the back of rise in wholesale
cost of deposits. A faster build out of retail loans coupled with improved CASA ratio will
provide upside to our margin assumptions.
Cost pressure was stable but investments in business to remain high. Cost-income
ratio was high at 52% in 2QFY19 but it was an improvement of 300 bps yoy. Operating
expenses increased 33% yoy whereas employee expenses were up 5% yoy while non-
staff expenses grew 54% yoy. Overall employee base grew by 3% yoy for a loan book
that is growing at ~35% CAGR. The management highlighted that it has shifted some of
its employees from the bank to its subsidiary as it was cost efficient. Non-staff costs
growth has been much faster indicating the shift in the mix of loan book towards
businesses where there is greater outsourcing through its own subsidiary (Swaadhar) and
to external clients (Bajaj Finance and DSA) for the credit card business.
Capital position remains comfortable. Capital position remains stable with CAR of
13.7% (down 90 bps qoq) and tier-1 of 12.5% (down 60 bps qoq). RWA growth was at
33% yoy.

Weak results in 2QFY19 with the management attributing it to erratic monsoon
Bayer reported 10% yoy decline in revenues to `11 bn, 24% decline in EBITDA to `2.19 bn and
25% decline in net income to `1.43 bn (EPS of `41.6), well below our expectations in 2QFY19.
The company attributed the weakness to erratic monsoon season with (1) uneven distribution
of rainfall and (2) hailstorms that impacted the standing crops in several regions. We note that
Rallis, the only other agro-chemicals company that has reported results so far, exhibited a
healthy 11% yoy growth in revenues during 2QFY19 suggesting insignificant impact from the
erratic monsoon season. Bayer management remains optimistic on 2HFY19 based on available
opportunities in product categories catering to fruits, vegetables and rice; however, we note
that 2H, being seasonally weak, has contributed ~30% to the company’s full-year revenues and
negligible amount to its EBITDA and net income over the past two years.
Bleak results in 1HFY19 as well post three consecutive years of uninspiring performance
Bayer’s 1HFY19 results were also uninspiring, as has been the past three years, with flat revenues
at `19.4 bn, moderate 11% increase in EBITDA to `4.48 bn and 4% decline in net income to
`2.9 bn (EPS of `84.5). EBITDA margins showed some signs of improvement during 1HFY19
increasing ~230 bps yoy to 23.2%, albeit at a slower pace than ~465 bps increase in gross
margins; however, lower other income and rise in tax rate to 35% negated the benefit. We
note that Bayer’s revenues, EBITDA and net income have remained largely steady in a narrow
range during FY2016-18 with the company showing evident signs of weakness, particularly in
revenue growth, as compared to its domestic counterparts.
Cut estimates by 11-12%; downgrade to SELL from REDUCE with revised TP of `3,550
We cut FY2019-21 EPS estimates for Bayer by 11-12% to `94, `114 and `135, respectively,
factoring in (1) slower growth in revenues, (2) lower margins versus our earlier assumptions and
(3) other minor changes. We downgrade the stock to SELL rating from REDUCE earlier with
revised DCF-based TP of `3,550 (`4,100 earlier). Bayer’s parent portfolio may certainly enable
launching of new products in India in the long run; however, the persisting disappointment in
domestic performance over the past few years raises concerns on (1) rising competition from
the local players, who are evidently making inroads with expansion of distribution network and
(2) likely down-trading by the farmers to low-cost products.
Bayer Cropscience (BYRCS) Others
Yet another disappointing year. Bayer’s 1HFY19 results with flat revenues, 11%
growth in EBITDA and 4% decline in net income reflected continued weakness in the
company’s performance over the past four years contrary to the industry. We cut our
FY2019-21E EPS by 11-12% and downgrade the stock to SELL from REDUCE with a
revised DCF-based TP of `3,550 (`4,100 previously). We believe expensive valuation at
37X FY2020E EPS is unlikely to sustain as persisting disappointment raises concerns on
realizable gains from the perceived superiority of Bayer’s product portfolio.
