    Result Update

    WHATS CHANGED

    PRICE TARGET ....................................................................... Changed from | 256 to | 226

    EPS (FY14E) ............................................................................. Changed from | 9.8 to | 2.4

    RATING............................................................................................................... Unchanged

    Higher-than-expected interest cost dents PATFuture Retails (earlier known as Pantaloon Retail) (FRL) Q1FY14 resultswere operationally in line with our estimates. However, due to a delay inpayment of the OFCD, interest costs continued to remain high contrary toour expectation. Consequently, PAT at | 2.0 crore came in significantlylower than our expectation of | 22.2 crore. FRL reported sales, EBITDAand PAT of | 2,907 crore (down 3.9% YoY), | 249 crore (down 10.4%YoY) and | 2 crore (down 83.6% YoY), respectively. The gross spaceaddition during the quarter was at 0.33 mn sq ft. However, due to thedemerger of the Pantaloon format, total space reduced 2.2 mn sq ft QoQto 14.1 mn sq ft. We have revised our earnings estimates considering thehigher interest costs. Owing to the forthcoming restructuring (Central andBrand Factory moving out of FRL to Future Fashion) we have notestimated numbers for FY15. Considering the incremental benefits ofreduced interest costs, we maintain our BUY rating on Future Retail with arevised target price of | 226 (based on 0.65x FY14E EV/sales).SSSG remains healthy barring home segmentSame store sales growth (SSSG) in the value and lifestyle segment

    remained healthy at 8.1% and 9.6%, respectively. The renovation effortsand the strengthening of the fashion segment through Fashion at Big

    Bazaar have borne fruit. However, the home segment continues to remain

    weak with SSSG hovering in the negative territory at -4.1%.

    Space addition continues to remain tepidDuring the quarter, FRL added 0.33 million (mn) sq ft of gross space.

    However, due to the demerger of the Pantaloon and Pantaloon Factory

    Outlet format, total space reduced by 2.2 mn sq ft sequentially to 14.1 mn

    sq ft. Going forward also, FRL plans to go slow on space addition. We

    expect total addition of ~0.4 mn sq ft during this fiscal.

    Maintain BUY considering incremental benefits of lower debtWe have reduced our earnings estimates downwards considering thehigh interest costs (though it is expected to come down from Q2FY14).

    We have not estimated numbers for FY15 considering the further

    restructuring that will happen. However, we remain positive on FRL

    considering the benefits it will enjoy due to lower leverage. Also, with a

    higher share of food sales, the working capital cycle is likely to improve

    significantly. We maintain our BUY rating onFuture Retail with a revisedtarget price of | 226 (based on 0.65x FY14E EV/sales).
