FUNDAMENTAL ANALYST

[email protected]

Company Profile:

Incorporated in 1999, PNC Infratech (PNC) is a north based Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC)

player, with expertise in the execution of projects such as highways, bridges, flyovers, airport runways,

industrial areas and transmission lines. The company has executed 59 major infrastructure projects spread

across 13 states, of which 38 are road EPC projects. The Company is currently executing 19 projects. In

2007, PNC has entered the Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT) segment, which contributes to the revenue via

Toll collection. Currently, the company is operating six BOT projects and one OMT (Operate, Maintain and

Transfer) project, comprising of both Toll & Annuity assets plus five HAM projects.

Investment rationale:

Robust order book ensures strong earnings visibility

Strong in-house execution capabilities and excellent track record of early completion with a

large & modern equipment bank

Huge Infra development spending provides immense order inflow visibility

Fully Funded & strong BOT portfolio

BOT monetisation to aid HAM project’s equity requirement

Concerns:

Current order book ensures revenue visibility for the next 2-3 years, but any delay in execution can

prove to be a big negative for the Company.

Adverse weather conditions can impact execution of the projects.

The company’s order book is regionally concentrated, primarily in North and Central India.

Any slowdown in the awarding of projects by the state Governments.

View and valuation:

We have derived SOTP based target of Rs 248. We value the (1) Standalone EPC business at Rs 192 (10x

one‐year forward Mar‐20E EBIDTA), (2) BOT projects at Rs 33/share, and (3) HAM FY18-20E cumulative

equity investment at Rs 23/sh.

We recommend PNC Infratech as BUY at a CMP of Rs. 172 add on a decline of Rs 150 or the Target Price of

Rs. 250 in a time frame of 5-6 Quarters.

Key Highlights

PNC Infratech is a north-based infra company, with expertise in execution of projects including highways, bridges, flyovers, airport runways, industrial areas and transmission lines.

The Current Order Book is at a robust

level and this ensures good earnings visibility for next 2-3 years.

Strong in-house execution capabilities and an excellent track record of early completion, with a large & modern equipment bank.

Huge Infra development spending provides immense order inflow visibility.

BOT portfolio is fully funded, and the company is looking to monetise it and use those funds for HAM equity requirements.

We recommend PNC Infratech as BUY at CMP of Rs.172 and add on decline of Rs. 150 for the Target Price of Rs. 250 in the time frame of 5-6 quarters.

Investment rationale:

Robust order book ensures strong revenue visibility

The Company has an order book of Rs. 73bn as of Mar18. This provides revenue visibility for the next 5-

6 Years.

The Company’s revenue performance was impacted in the last five quarters, as orders worth Rs. 30bn

were delayed or owing to land acquisition issues. However, the situation has improved in the recent past,

and we believe, that the company is expected to experience strong growth momentum from Q4FY18.

The management has guided an order inflow of Rs. 60-70bn in FY19, of which PNC Infra has already won

two EPC and one HAM projects worth of Rs. 49.9 bn in May-18.

Strong in-house execution capabilities and excellent track record of early completion with a

large & modern equipment bank

In-house design, engineering, construction, operation and management teams control the entire process

from the procurement of raw materials to completion of the projects. PNC Infra also owns a large fleet of

sophisticated equipment. This helps the company offer customised solutions to clients, reducing reliance

on third parties, which in turn helps in reducing costs.

With an in-house state-of-the-art equipment bank and a highly-qualified management team, the company

has a proven track record in the execution of large projects in sectors like roads & highways, bridges and

airport runways. It has also received bonuses many times for early completion of projects.

Large scale infra development spending provides immense order inflow visibility

One key focus area of the Government is Infrastructure development in the country. Since the last 2-3 years, the complete land-scape of the

infrastructure companies has changed. In FY18, NHAI has awarded 150 road projects of 7,400 km worth Rs 1.2 trn. In the last 5 years, the

average length of road projects awarded by NHAI was 2,860 km, with 4,335 km awarded in the previous financial year. We are expecting a very

good run rate for the same next year too, as the Government has planned an outlay Rs. 1.21 trn for the road sector in the Budget for FY19.

Additionally Rs 71,000 Cr is allocated specially for development of national highways across the country.

This opens up vast opportunities for companies with clean balance sheets, the ability to raise funds and good execution capabilities.

Fully funded & strong BOT portfolio

PNC Infra has seven projects in its BOT portfolio, including one OMT project comprising both toll and annuity assets. Out of seven projects, six

are fully operational, while one is partly operational. Overall, PNC has infused equity worth Rs. 581cr in its BOT projects, and has been completely

funded.

The Aligarh‐Ghaziabad project has been one of the key pain points in PNC’s BOT portfolio. The toll collection has improved to Rs 510 mn in 4QFY18

(flat QoQ). This translates into a Rs 56 mn /day run rate which had earlier declined to Rs 48 mn after the overloading ban.

Raebareli‐Jaunpur annuity project: PNC received the COD (Commercial Operations Date) for the Raebareli‐Jaunpur BOT project on on March 8,

2016. The project has achieved COD three months ahead of the June‐16 deadline. Recently, the management has stated that the company has

received a bonus of Rs. 34cr for early completion of this project.

There have been better than expected toll collections in the Kanpur Ayodhya, Gwalior Bhind, Kanpur Kabrai and Aligarh Ghaziabad projects. We

have valued PNC’s BOT portfolio at Rs 33.4/sh (1.5x P/BV).

Standalone EPC 5,360 10 49,840 194 FY20E EV/EBIDTA BOT Portfolio 8,574 33 FCFE Mar-20E

HAM Equity 5,800 23 1x P/BV cumulative equity investment over FY18-20E

SOTP Value 64,214 250

BOT monetisation to aid HAM projects’ equity requirements

PNC Infra has a total of five HAM projects, of which 4 have already achieved financial closure. PNC’s HAM equity requirement is Rs 740cr, which can

be met from the monetisation of the operational BOT portfolio. Total equity invested in operational assets is Rs 580cr.

We have valued PNC’s toll projects using a 13.5% discount rate for arriving at the NPV of the projects. We have valued the BOT business at Rs 33/sh

(1.5x of PNC’s invested equity), and HAM projects at 1x P/BV of cumulative equity investment over FY18‐20E and arrive at a per share value of Rs.

23.

SOTP Valuation:

We value PNC on 10x one-year forward EV/EBIDTA in line with the implied 10x multiple for peers. Our rationales include (1) A robust order book of

Rs 1067 bn, (2) A strong balance sheet, and (3) A high share of NHAI EPC/HAM roads in the order book will result in a lower working capital demand,

as these projects have provisions of mobilisation advances.

A higher than estimated order intake may result in further stock re-rating as PNC has (1) A diversified presence in roads and dedicated freight corridor,

and a key beneficiary of the upcoming roads awards in UP worth Rs 2 trn over the next 4-5 years, (2) A strong execution capability, which provides

scope for earning early completion bonuses (3-6% of project cost), leading to EBIDTA margin expansion, (3) Support likely from the captive order

book in lieu of any contraction in future roads EPC orders, and (4) PNC is looking to monetize current BOT portfolio (Rs 5.8bn of invested equity) this

may part fund Rs 740cr of HAM equity requirement

We have arrived SOTP Target of Rs 250 for PNC Infratech. We value the (1) Standalone EPC business at Rs 194 (10x one‐year forward Mar‐20E

EBIDTA), (2) BOT projects at Rs 33, and (3) HAM FY18-20E cumulative equity investment at Rs 23.

We recommend PNC Infratech as BUY at a CMP of Rs. 172 add on a decline of Rs 150 or the Target Price of Rs. 250 in a time frame of 5-6 Quarters.

In Jan-17, we had recommended PNC Infra BUY in the range of Rs. 106-94 for the Target of Rs. 126 which was achieved on 3rd April 2017.

# Explanation of Red-flag Price level: If stock prices starts sustaining below red-flag level, the premise of the investment needs to be reviewed. Risk

averse investors should exit the stock and preserve capital. The downside of following red-flag level is that if the price decline turns out to be

temporary and if it recovers subsequently you won’t be able to participate in the gains.
