Valuation & recommendation
We initiate coverage on Nishat Chunian Limited (NCL) with a buy recommendation and Jun-17
price target (PT) of PKR 83.1/share, which offers an upside of 37.5% along with dividend yield of
5.9%. Our TP is derived by using FCFF based discounted cash flow methodology with WACC of
9.75% and terminal growth rate of 2.0%. NCL trades at an attractive LTM PER of 7.1x that is much
cheaper than industry LTM PER of 13.7x.
Coal based Captive power plant to result to healthy margins
Commencement of coal power plant in Feb’17 is likely to reduce cost/KWH by 30% from 13.5/unit
to ~9.5/unit. Consequently, savings are expected at PKR 473mn and PKR 487mn during FY18 and
FY19 respectively. Per share impact on bottom line is expected to be PKR 2.0-2.1 during FY17-19.
Moreover, export bailout package of ~PKR 75bn is also in the works by GoP and is likely to be a
strong upside trigger to scrip; however, absent particulars, it is difficult to guage the impact of the
bailout at this stage.

Capacity expansion to result in topline growth in value added segment
NCL plans to continue expansion of its capacities in weaving and home textile segments. Company
is expected to install 12 additional looms for its weaving segment which will increase its weaving
capacity by 3%. Moreover, in home textile division company is likely to install modern mercerizing
machine with continuous washing plant which will increase capacity by 15%. Helped by savings
from the coal based power plant and expansion in the weaving and home textile segments, NCL’s
EPS is expected to grow at CAGR of 13.2% during FY17-19.
Dividend income from NCPL poised to remained strong
Dividend income of the company during FY16 clocked in at PKR 1.19bn which translates EPS
contribution of PKR 4.73/share against PKR 6.65/share in FY15. We anticipate a continuing trend
in forthcoming years and company will receive dividend income of PKR 1.36bn in FY17 from its
subsidiary NCPL, which will contribute an EPS of PKR 5.52.
Deleveraging to improve profitability
NCL continued to pay off its debt which has reduced its debt to capital from 61% in FY14 to 55%
in FY16. We foresee timely payments of debt will bring debt to capital ratio to 43% in FY21. Lower
debt level would reduce finance cost from PKR 1.02bn in FY16 to PKR 834mn in FY21.
Key risks
Shortage of cotton crop in ongoing fiscal year heightened cotton spot price to ~PKR 6300 in Dec’16
from PKR 5900 in mid of Nov ’16. Any further surge in cotton prices can negatively impact spinning
segment of the company.
Financial highlights 1QFY17
During 1QFY17 company posted EPS of PKR 2.35 against loss per share of 0.45 in SPLY on back of
rise in topline by 18.1% YoY and relatively stable exchange rate. Gross margins of the company
witnessed improvement of 4 ppts on account of lower crude oil prices. Moreover, Dividend income
received from NCPL was PKR 365mn which constituted 65% of overall EPS of NCL.
