With the past six-month movement in the stock price, we believe that the short- term positives have already been factored into the price, while possible downgrades in vehicle-sales estimates have not yet been captured. Additionally, the proposed structure of the new Gujarat plant complicates matters over the long term. For the short term, though, it would prove positive for the company because cash is now being conserved. We value the stock at 14x Sep’15e earnings, which works out to `1,753, a 10% downside from present levels. Federal Bank – SME-led credit growth, lower slippages; Buy. Overall credit growth for Federal Bank during the quarter was sluggish, at 4.3% yoy (up 1.4% qoq). This was due to a 14% drop in the corporate loan book, the share of which has now declined 1070bps yoy, to 31.4% in the overall loan book. We raise our target to `108, from `98 earlier and value the bank at 1.1x 1HFY16e BV (1.1xFY15e earlier). Diversified loan book, better asset quality and high capital adequacy would aid RoE expansion by FY16, to 14.4%. On inexpensive valuations, we retain Buy.

Dabur’s Almond Hair Oil has failed to gain more than a 4% market share. Keo Karpin is not investing in pushing its brands. This has led to Bajaj Corp. gaining market share. The market-share ratio of Bajaj Corp. to Keo Karpin has risen from 4.34 to 4.44. We expect a 13% earnings CAGR over FY14-16. We value the stock at a target price of `270, at a target PE of 18x FY16e earnings.

Core Infrastructure Industries – Core continues to grow. The continuing strong performance of electricity has helped the core sector grow for the fifth successive month. Electricity was the best performing sector for FY14, followed by steel and cement. The uninspiring performances of natural gas and crude oil continued. Growth of electricity steel and cement is harbinger of improvement in construction. Mining growth will help manufacturing sector to grow. With inflation off its peak, we feel that RBI is likely to cut rates by 25 – 50 bps in 2HCY14.

Maruti Suzuki – Weak trend continues; Sell. In FY15, the company would benefit from a favourable exchange rate and the low base for its vehicle sales. Nevertheless, headwinds of curtailed demand for passenger cars and of launches by competitors would prove to be speed bumps. With the past six-month movement in the stock price, we believe that the short-term positives have already been factored into the price, while possible downgrades in vehicle-sales estimates have not yet been captured. Additionally, the proposed structure of the new Gujarat plant complicates matters over the long term. For the short term, though, it would prove positive for the company because cash is now being conserved. We value the stock at 14x Sep’15e earnings, which works out to `1,753, a 10% downside from present levels.

Federal Bank – SME-led credit growth, lower slippages; Buy. Overall credit growth for Federal Bank during the quarter was sluggish, at 4.3% yoy (up 1.4% qoq). This was due to a 14% drop in the corporate loan book, the share of which has now declined 1070bps yoy, to 31.4% in the overall loan book. We raise our target to `108, from `98 earlier and value the bank at 1.1x 1HFY16e BV (1.1xFY15e earlier). Diversified loan book, better asset quality and high capital adequacy would aid RoE expansion by FY16, to 14.4%. On inexpensive valuations, we retain Buy. At our target, the stock would trade at P/ABV of 1.2x FY15e and 1x FY16e, based on the two-stage DDM.

Bajaj Corp. – Market-share gains; Buy. Dabur’s Almond Hair Oil has failed to gain more than a 4% market share. Keo Karpin is not investing in pushing its brands. This has led to Bajaj Corp. gaining market share. The market-share ratio of Bajaj Corp. to Keo Karpin has risen from 4.34 to 4.44. We expect a 13% earnings CAGR over FY14-16. We value the stock at a target price of `270, at a target PE of 18x FY16e earnings. We believe the success of Kailash Parbat and the No Marks acquisition would reduce dependence on Bajaj Almond Drops and erase the ‘single-product-company’ tag.

Shoppers Stop – Recovery still some time away; Hold. With comparable growth recovering, we believe the standalone business is improving. The margin expansion, with an increase in private-label sales and with cost controls, would be a key growth driver. We believe Hypercity remains a drag and could return to profitability only in FY16. We maintain our Hold (call) on the stock and value it on a sum-of-parts basis at `366, using the PE multiple for the standalone business and m.cap/sales for Hypercity and Crossword.

Orient Cement – In-line 4Q; recovery ahead, expansion on track; Buy. Orient Cement’s EBITDA and PAT was largely in-line with estimates due to lower-than-expected costs. We expect better performance in FY15 given expectation of better cement prices in Maharashtra and AP. Our fair price is `60, based on 7x Mar’16e EV/EBITDA. The implied EV/ton is US$52, with a PE of 12x. The stock is attractively priced when benchmarked against midcap peers. A key advantage is its low-cost cement production, resulting in industry-leading RoE and RoCE.

Swaraj Engines – Results surprise, maintain Buy. The results bettered our expectations chiefly because of better-than-expected volumes. Growth ahead would be boosted by a better performance by the Swaraj division of tractors as compared to the rest of the tractor industry. For FY15 however, the tractor industry growth outlook is likely to be under pressure. We expect tractors to do well in the long run, led by more scope for productivity, low penetration, need for mechanization and shortage of labour. Greater capacity could prove to be a huge fillip. We maintain a Buy. At the ruling market price, the stock trades at 11.7x FY15e and 10.5x FY16e. We value it at 12.5x Sep’15e earnings and arrive at a price target of `780.

Phillips Carbon Black – Performance constrained, improvement in sight; Hold. For 4QFY14, Phillips Carbon Black (PCB) reported `5.9bn in revenue against our estimates of `5.7bn (up 11% yoy). Sales in the carbon black (CB) division grew 12% to `5.8bn, while in power it declined 27% to `0.14bn. The company has commissioned 50,000MT carbon black line at Kochi Plant. With this the total capacity is 4,72,000 MTPA. In view of global developments, project work at Vietnam is under review. We value the stock at a target PE of 4x FY16e earnings. We retain a Hold, with a revised target of `71.

Core Infrastructure Industries Core continues to grow

The continuing strong performance of electricity has helped the core sector grow for the fifth successive month. Electricity was the best performing sector for FY14, followed by steel and cement. The uninspiring performances of natural gas and crude oil continued. Growth of electricity steel and cement is harbinger of improvement in construction. Mining growth will help manufacturing sector to grow. With inflation off its peak, we feel that RBI is likely to cut rates by 25 – 50 bps in 2HCY14.

Performance. Core infrastructure industries, with a weighting of 37.9% in industrial production grew 2.5% in Mar’14 (vs 7.0% in Mar’13). During Mar’14 steel and electricity grew 5.4%, refinery products also grew 2.8%. Cement index remained same as the Mar’13 level. Coal grew 0.7% in Mar’14 (vs 1.7% growth in Mar’13). The major contraction was visible in natural gas (-9.3%), followed by fertilizers (-6.1%) and crude oil (-1.6%). We thus have the FY14 growth of core infrastructure at 2.6% versus 6.5% growth in FY13. Excluding natural gas and crude oil, all the other six core sectors have grown over the year – electricity being the best performing sector.

Assessment. Core infrastructure industries have been maintaining better growth than overall industrial production, chiefly due to the higher weighting of electricity (10.3%) in core industries. While electricity growth decelerated in the month, the average growth in FY14 (5.6%) is still better than FY13. Steel and cement also grew through the year. Coal sector growth is showing signs of bottoming out. Fertilizers is losing steam – it contracted for the second month. Performance of natural gas, however, continues to be lackluster.

Outlook. Electricity, steel and cement (a combined weighting of 19%) are likely to maintain the robust growth of FY14 next year. With the operational and procedural aspects of mining improving, we are optimistic of coal picking up pace. Natural gas has contracted for the third year and a revival in this sector looks distant. Core infrastructure will also be helped by a favorable base in the first eight months of FY15.

Recommendations. While the core industries continue to grow, the headline IIP number remain disappointing, for Feb’14 while core grew by 4.5%, IIP contracted by -1.9%. Manufacturing sector contraction has negated the growth of electricity and mining sectors. Growth in electricity, steel and cement are the harbinger of growth in construction. The growth of mining would help in the turnaround of manufacturing sector. We thus expect a modest recovery for the manufacturing sector in FY15. With inflation rates off the peak and inflation on a downward trajectory, barring the seasonal headwinds, we believe that RBI is likely to cut rates by 25 – 50bps in 2HCY14.

Maruti Suzuki

Weak trend continues; Sell

Key takeaways

Sales dip sustains. Maruti Suzuki’s Apr’14 dispatches declined 11.4% yoy to 86,196 units (lower 24% month-over-month). This is on the back of a 1.4% volume decline in FY14. This was the sixth consecutive month of yoy volume decline for Maruti. This is also the biggest m-o-m drop for the company in its April sales since April ’07. The weak growth trend for the company over FY11-14 saw a compounded volume decline of 3.1%.

Compacts do well. Domestic sales were weak, 12.6% lower yoy, to 79,119 units; exports fared better, at 7,077 units, 4.4% higher yoy (though mom down 36.1%). The compact-vehicle sub-segment was the best performing, with 9.9% yoy growth (16.4% lower mom). Growth in this segment has been driven by the newly launched Celerio, which is drawing a good response and is witnessing a high average waiting period.

In most other segments sales dwindle. In the super-compact-car sub-segment, sales disappointed, 17.7% lower yoy and 7.1% mom. The mini segment declined 25.4% yoy (down 35% mom). Vans and UVs also declined, down 4.3% yoy and 5.8% yoy respectively.

Our take. In FY15, the company would benefit from a favourable exchange rate and the low base for its vehicle sales. Nevertheless, headwinds of curtailed demand for passenger cars and of launches by competitors would prove to be speed bumps. With the past six-month movement in the stock price, we believe that the short-term positives have already been factored into the price, while possible downgrades in vehicle-sales estimates have not yet been captured. Additionally, the proposed structure of the new Gujarat plant complicates matters over the long term. For the short term, though, it would prove positive for the company because cash is now being conserved. We value the stock at 14x Sep’15e earnings, which works out to `1,753, a 10% downside from present levels. Risks: More-than-expected volume growth and currency-related benefits.

Banks Result Update

2 May 2014

Federal Bank

SME-led credit growth, lower slippages; Buy

Key takeaways

SME and agri-led credit growth. Overall credit growth for Federal Bank during the quarter was sluggish, at 4.3% yoy (up 1.4% qoq). This was due to a 14% drop in the corporate loan book, the share of which has now declined 1070bps yoy, to 31.4% in the overall loan book. SME loans continue to trend upward, growing 26% yoy. We expect the SME and retail segments to drive the 19% loan growth over FY14-16. Higher NIM and CASA, lower productivity. Reported NIM increased sharply by 52bps yoy (up 34bps qoq), to 3.6%, led by a one-time interest received on income tax refund. The proportion of CASA improved 360bps yoy, to 30.8%, on traction in savings deposit (up 19.9% yoy). Going forward, we expect higher CASA to drive improvement in NIM to 3.4% by FY16. Cost-income rose 230bps yoy, to 47.7%. Management expects to consolidate its strong branch-network expansion in FY15. Consequently, we expect cost-income to improve to 45% by FY16. Asset quality improves on sale to Arcil. GNPA declined 9.4% qoq, driven by: (a) Lower slippages yoy (1.8% of loans) and (b) `1.6bn sale of non performing asset to ARCIL. NPA coverage remained steady at 70.3%. The bank has restructured an additional `3.2m of loans in the quarter. The outstanding restructured portfolio now stands at 4.5% of book. A high restructured book are likely to keep credit costs at a high 60bps over FY15-16. The high 14.6% capital adequacy is better than most peers and offers fair assurance against further delinquencies. Our take. We raise our target to `108, from `98 earlier and value the bank at 1.1x 1HFY16e BV (1.1xFY15e earlier). Diversified loan book, better asset quality and high capital adequacy would aid RoE expansion by FY16, to 14.4%. On inexpensive valuations, we retain Buy. At our target, the stock would trade at P/ABV of 1.2x FY15e and 1x FY16e, based on the two-stage DDM (CoE: 15.5%; beta: 0.8; Rf: 8.5%). Risk. Higher delinquencies.

SME credit growth increasing

This was due to a 14% drop in the corporate loan book, the share of which has now declined 1070bps yoy to 31.4% in the overall loan book. SME loans continue to trend upward, growing 26% yoy. We expect the SME and retail segments to drive the 19% loan growth over FY14-16.

NIM improves, expected to continue

Reported NIM increased sharply by 52bps yoy (up 34bps qoq) to 3.6%, led by a one time interest received on income tax refund. The proportion of CASA improved 360bps yoy, to 30.8%, on traction in savings deposit (up 19.9% yoy). Ahead, we expect improvement in NIM to 3.4%, given the likely drop in cost of funds, a higher credit-deposit ratio and the rising proportion of higher-yielding SME.

Investment in branches slows down, treasury profits fall

Fee income, excluding treasury and recoveries, registered 12.9% yoy growth, while treasury profits decreased 53% yoy, leading to the 9.4% yoy decline in non-interest income. We expect fee income to grow in line with balance-sheet growth, given the various measures undertaken by the bank. Cost-income rose 230bps yoy, to 47.7%. Management expects to consolidate its strong branch network expansion in FY15. Consequently, we expect cost-income to improve to 45% by FY16.

Asset quality improves on lower slippages and sale to Arcil

GNPA declined 9.4% qoq, driven by: (a) Lower slippages yoy (1.8% of loans) and (b) `1.6bn sale of non-performing asset to ARCIL. Slippages in retail and SME seem to have stabilized. NPA coverage remained steady at 70.3%. The bank has restructured an additional `3.2m of loans in the quarter. The outstanding restructured portfolio now stands at 4.5% of book. A high restructured book are likely to keep credit costs at a high 60bps over FY15/16. The high 14.6% capital adequacy is better than most of its peers and offers fair assurance against further delinquencies.

Valuations We raise our target to `108, from `98 earlier and value the bank at 1.1x 1HFY16e BV (1.1xFY15e earlier). The diversified loan book, better productivity and high capital adequacy would aid RoE expansion by FY16, to 14.4%. On the inexpensive valuations, we retain a Buy. At our target, the stock would trade at P/ABV of 1.2x FY15e and 1x FY16e. Our target is based on the two-stage DDM (CoE: 15.5%; beta: 0.8; Rf: 8.5%).

Risk

Less-than-expected economic growth over FY15-16, leading to NPA being more than estimated, consequently leading to higher credit costs.

More-than-expected delinquencies could lead to a rise in costs of provisioning and drop in earnings.

Key takeaways

Muted revenue growth. Bajaj Corp.’s revenues were flat, yoy, on price hikes of only 6%. Volume dropped 6.3%. The company reported lower primary sales as inventory days in trade have reduced from 55 to 32. Secondary revenue growth, though, was on track. The company has continued to report market share gains in Almond Drops hair oil. As of now, the company has market leadership in the almond drops hair oil industry with market share of 57.9%, up 350bps, yoy. On the other hand, it lost market share in Kailash Parbat cooling oil due to a delayed summer. It, however, continues to invest in this brand, along with expanding distribution. The company has raised average prices by 5% in April 2014.

EBITDA margin lower. The company reported gross margin expansion of 60bps due to price hikes of 6%. Average prices of major raw material, light liquid paraffin was up 6%, and that of refined oil was down 5.5%, yoy. EBITDA margin was up 50bps, yoy. Due to acquisition of No Marks and repayment of debt, other income is down 23%, yoy. The company has also reduced the ad-spend by 180bps, yoy. Effective income tax rate is also down 260bps, yoy. Net profit dropped 2%, yoy.

Our take. Competition in almond-based hair oils is benign. Dabur’s Almond Hair Oil has failed to gain more than a 4% market share. Keo Karpin is not investing in pushing its brands. This has led to Bajaj Corp. gaining market share. The market-share ratio of Bajaj Corp. to Keo Karpin has risen from 4.34 to 4.44. We expect a 13% earnings CAGR over FY14-16. We value the stock at a target price of `270, at a target PE of 18x FY16e earnings. We believe the success of Kailash Parbat and the No Marks acquisition would reduce dependence on Bajaj Almond Drops and erase the ‘single-product-company’ tag. Risks. Raw-material price rises, keener-than-expected competition.

Muted revenue growth. Bajaj Corp.’s revenues were flat, yoy, on price hikes of only 6%. Volume dropped 6.3%. The company reported lower primary sales as inventory days in trade have reduced from 55 to 32. Secondary revenue growth, though, was on track. The company has continued to report market share gains in Almond Drops hair oil. As of now, the company has market leadership in the almond drops hair oil industry with market share of 57.9%, up 350bps, yoy. On the other hand, it lost market share in Kailash Parbat cooling oil due to a delayed summer. It, however, continues to invest in this brand, along with expanding distribution. The company has raised average prices by 5% in April 2014.

Valuation

Competition in almond-based hair oils is benign. Dabur’s Almond Hair Oil has failed to gain more than a 4% market share. Keo Karpin is not investing in pushing its brands. This has led to Bajaj Corp. gaining market share. The market-share ratio of Bajaj Corp. to Keo Karpin has risen from 4.34 to 4.44.

We expect a 13% earnings CAGR over FY14-16. We value the stock at a target price of `270, at a target PE of 18x FY16e earnings. We believe the success of Kailash Parbat and the No Marks acquisition would reduce dependence on Bajaj Almond Drops and erase the ‘single-product-company’ tag.

Shoppers Stop

Recovery still some time away; Hold

Key takeaways

Strong revenue growth. In 4QFY14, Shoppers Stop’s net sales (standalone) rose 18.1% yoy to `7.27bn. Comparable growth, at 8.4%, was quite low, resulting from lower growth by matured stores. Comparable volume growth improved 6.5%. With 3.3m members, First Citizen’s share of revenue was 72% (74% in 3QFY14 and 69% in 4QFY13). Consignment/SOR revenue came at 57.9% (55.3% in 3QFY14), bought-out items 39.4% and concession sales 2.7%. Revenue from Hypercity (a 51% subsidiary) increased 7.5%, with comparable sales declining 6.6% due to a cut in store area.

EBITDA margin declines. The standalone EBITDA margin dipped from 6.2% in 3QFY14 and 4.9% in 4QFY13 to 3.9% in the current quarter on the back of extended discount sales. In FY15/16, however, we expect it to expand following a slowdown in expansion and a rise in the proportion of private-label sales, to 20% (currently 15.6%). The company completed 70,000 sq.ft. of down-sizing in 4Q14, taking the total downsizing to 1.5lac sq.ft.

Other highlights. The area increased from 5.17m sq.ft. in 2QFY14 to 5.41m sq.ft. in 4QFY14 with the addition of two Shoppers Stop department stores (to 67 now), one MAC store and one Clinique store. In FY14, we expect the company to open eight stores, taking the store count to 75. Eight stores are likely to be added in FY16 & FY17.

Our take. With comparable growth recovering, we believe the standalone business is improving. The margin expansion, with an increase in private-label sales and with cost controls, would be a key growth driver. We believe Hypercity remains a drag and could return to profitability only in FY16. We maintain our Hold (call) on the stock and value it on a sum-of-parts basis at `366, using the PE multiple for the standalone business and m.cap/sales for Hypercity and Crossword. Risk. Slower growth in the economy.

Strong revenue growth

In 4QFY14, Shoppers Stop’s net sales (standalone) rose 18.1% yoy to `7.27bn. Comparable growth, at 8.4%, was quite low consequent on the lower growth in matured stores. Comparable volume growth improved 6.5%. With 3.3m members, First Citizen’s share of revenue was 72% (74% in 3QFY14 and 69% in 4QFY13). Consignment/SOR revenue was 57.9% (55.3% in 3QFY14), bought-out items 39.4% and concession sales 2.7%.

EBITDA margin expands

The standalone EBITDA margin dipped from 6.2% in 3QFY14 and 4.9% in 4QFY13 to 3.9% in the current quarter on the back of extended discount sales. In FY15/16, however, we expect it to expand following the slowdown in expansion and a rise in the proportion of private-label sales to 20% (currently 15.6%).

The company completed 70,000 sq.ft. of down-sizing in 4Q14, taking the total downsizing to 1.5lac sq.ft. It will continue this exercise to further downsize by 1.25lac sq.ft. in FY15-16. The new stores will not be selling furniture, white goods, mobiles, etc., aiding an expansion in the EBITDA margin. So far, in Hypercity, eight stores are EBITDA positive.

The proportion of the apparel business increased to 63.2% compared with 60.3% in 4QFY13.

EBITDA/ton came at `425 (vs `630 in 4QFY13 and `495 in 3QFY14) better than we expected, because of lower power & fuel costs. PAT dipped 27% yoy, in line with the EBITDA decline. Cost deflation stemmed chiefly from decline in freight (10% yoy), fixed costs (11% yoy) and static power & fuel charges.

Capacity addition in progress. Work on the proposed 3m-ton greenfield project in Gulbarga, Karnataka, is underway, with most of the land and clearances in place. Equipment has been ordered and commissioning is slated for 1QFY16. Trial production is expected to start from Apr’15 and commercial production from Jun’15. Capex of `17.2bn is to be funded through a mix of debt (`12bn) and internal accruals. Financial closure has been achieved. The project includes associated infrastructure such as a 45 MW thermal plant, a 7-MW waste-heat-recovery plant and a railway line.

Our take. Orient Cement’s EBITDA and PAT was largely in-line with estimates due to lower-than-expected costs. We expect better performance in FY15 given expectation of better cement prices in Maharashtra and AP. Our fair price is `60, based on 7x Mar’16e EV/EBITDA. The implied EV/ton is US$52, with a PE of 12x. The stock is attractively priced when benchmarked against midcap peers. A key advantage is its low-cost cement production, resulting in industry-leading RoE and RoCE. Risk. Drop in cement prices.

Orient Cement’s 4QFY14 dispatches rose 8% yoy (22% qoq) to 1.2m tons, better than the regional growth rate. It was marginally lower than our estimate. It operated at 96% utilisation in 4Q and 84% in FY14. Average realisation though fell 8% yoy (4% qoq) to `3,290 a ton, lower than our estimate. The drop can be attributed largely to the price decline in AP (30% of sales). Revenue slid 1% yoy (up 16% qoq).

EBITDA fell 27% yoy, though qoq it rose 4%, and was 7% over our estimation. EBITDA/ton came at `425 (vs `630 in 4QFY13 and `495 in 3QFY14) better than we expected, because of lower power &fuel costs. PAT dipped 27% yoy, in line with the EBITDA decline. Cost deflation stemmed chiefly from decline in freight (10% yoy), fixed costs (11% yoy) and static power & fuel charges. Better availability of coal from Singareni Collieries arrested any escalation in fuel costs.

Key updates

Work on the proposed 3m-ton greenfield project in Gulbarga, Karnataka, is underway, with most of the land and clearances in place. Equipment has been ordered and commissioning is slated for 1QFY16. Trial production is expected to start from Apr’15 and commercial production from Jun’15. Capex of `17.2bn is to be funded through a mix of debt (`12bn) and internal accruals. It has already spent `5.5bn till Mar’14. Financial closure has been achieved. The company has taken a short-term loan of `3bn as on Mar’14, which will be repaid once the banks start releasing the term loans.

The project includes associated infrastructure such as a 45 MW thermal plant, a 7-MW waste-heat-recovery plant and a railway line.

Results surprise, maintain Buy

Key takeaways

Healthy volume growth. Boosted by greater capacity, Swaraj Engines hit its highest ever quarterly sales in 4QFY14, its engine volumes growing 40.8% yoy. Qoq growth was also good at 4%. This was, much better than our expectations. Tractor sales of M&M, for whose ‘Swaraj’ family of tractors Swaraj Engines sells engines, were up just 11.5% yoy and lower 29.4% qoq. This indicates that the Swaraj family of tractors continues to gain prominence within M&M’s product mix. Driven by strong volume growth, total income grew 39.1% yoy to `1.6bn as realisations were lower 1.2% yoy.

EBITDA margin improves. EBITDA margin, at 15.1%, was 80bps higher yoy and 60bps qoq. Lower margin was mainly attributable to a lower qoq RM/sales ratio (by 60bps), while other-expenditure-to-sales ratio was 90bps lower yoy.

Profit less than anticipated. On the back of 46.4% yoy, EBITDA growth, profit growth was lower at 25.3% yoy to Rs175m (bettering expectations). This was due to lower non-operating income and an effective tax rate higher by 160bps.

Our take. The results bettered our expectations chiefly because of better-than-expected volumes (it may be noted that 3Q volumes were a shade lower than expected). Growth ahead would be boosted by a better performance by the Swaraj division of tractors as compared to the rest of the tractor industry. For FY15 however, the tractor industry growth outlook is likely to be under pressure. We expect tractors to do well in the long run, led by more scope for productivity, low penetration, need for mechanization and shortage of labour. Greater capacity could prove to be a huge fillip. We maintain a Buy. At the ruling market price, the stock trades at 11.7x FY15e and 10.5x FY16e. We value it at 12.5x Sep’15e earnings and arrive at a price target of `780. Risks. Commodity price rises, loss of market share by M&M, tractor cycle slowdown, labour strife.

Volumes better qoq and yoy

Boosted by greater capacity, Swaraj Engines hit its highest ever quarterly sales in 4QFY14, its engine volumes growing 40.8% yoy. Qoq growth was also good at 4%. This was, much better than our expectations. Tractor sales of M&M, for whose ‘Swaraj’ family of tractors Swaraj Engines sells engines were up just 11.5% yoy and lower 29.4% qoq. This indicates that the Swaraj family of tractors continues to gain prominence within M&M’s product mix.

Profits better expectations

Driven by strong volume growth, total income grew 39.1% yoy to `1.6bn as realisations were lower 1.2% yoy. The EBITDA margin, at 15.1%, was 80bps higher yoy and 60bps qoq. The lower margin was mainly attributable to a lower qoq RM/sales ratio (by 60bps), while the other-expenditure-to-sales ratio was 90bps lower yoy. On the back of 46.4% yoy EBITDA growth, profit growth was lower at 25.3% yoy to Rs175m (bettering expectations). This was due to lower non-operating income and an effective tax rate higher by 160bps.

Capacity expansion

Swaraj Engines benefited from its timely expansion in FY13 in time for the tractor-cycle recovery in FY14. With this capacity likely to be fully utilised in the near-term itself, the Board has approved further capacity expansion from 75,000 units to 105,000 units over the next 1.5 years. The cost involved would be `380m, to be fully financed from internal resources. Besides capacity augmentation, the company is also to focus on engineering and quality.

2 May 2014 Swaraj Engines – Results surprise, maintain Buy

Anand Rathi Research 5

Valuations The results bettered our expectations chiefly because of better-than-expected volumes (it may be noted that 3Q volumes were a shade lower than expected). Growth ahead would be boosted by a better performance by the Swaraj division of tractors as compared to the rest of the tractor industry.

For FY15 however, the tractor industry growth outlook is likely to be under pressure. We expect tractors to do well in the long run, led by more scope for productivity, low penetration, need for mechanization and shortage of labour. Greater capacity could prove to be a huge fillip. We maintain a Buy. At the ruling market price, the stock trades at 11.7x FY15e and 10.5x FY16e. We value it at 12.5x Sep’15e earnings and arrive at a price target of `780.

Risks. Commodity price rises, loss of market share by M&M, tractor cycle slowdown, labour strife.

Phillips Carbon Black

Performance constrained, improvement in sight; Hold

Key takeaways

Sales flat for FY14, up 11% yoy for 4Q. For 4QFY14, Phillips Carbon Black (PCB) reported `5.9bn in revenue against our estimates of `5.7bn (up 11% yoy). Sales in the carbon black (CB) division grew 12% to `5.8bn, while in power it declined 27% to `0.14bn. Revenue for FY14 was flat at `22.7bn with CB & power divisions contributing ~96% (at `22.1bn) and ~4% (at`0.6bn) respectively. Volumes for 4QFY14 rose 11% yoy to 77,298MT, leading to yoy growth in revenue. There was a 2% decline in FY14 volume at 2,87,839 MT, resulting in flat revenue for the year. Export volumes increased 26% yoy.

Modest EBITDA margin for 4Q, decline in FY14. EBIDTA came in at `319m, 6% above our estimate. EBIDTA margin was 5.4%, 29bps lower yoy, as the company was unable to fully pass on higher input costs. Margin in CB is down 87bps yoy to 1.9%, while it rose in power. EBIDTA margin for FY14 dipped 210bps to 1.1% due to high forex loss incurred in the year. In 4QFY14, net realization in power was 17% lower than 4QFY14 figures.

Net profit of `20m for 4Q; FY14 profitability severely hit. PCB reported `20m profit (`49.4m profit 4QFY13), better than our estimates. Decline in the quarter is due to high finance cost. For FY14, it reported net loss of `866mn, up from `218mn FY13, owing to the high finance cost and forex loss.

Our take. The company has commissioned 50,000MT carbon black line at Kochi Plant. With this the total capacity is 4,72,000 MTPA. In view of global developments, project work at Vietnam is under review. We value the stock at a target PE of 4x FY16e earnings. We retain a Hold, with a revised target of `71. Risks. A slowdown among tyre manufacturers and adverse forex movements.

2 May 2014 Phillips Carbon Black – Performance constrained, improvement in sight; Hold

Anand Rathi Research 4

Valuations On account of the weak short-term outlook, the stock is available at attractive valuations. At this price, all the negatives have been priced in. We maintain a Hold rating, with a revised price target of `71. We value the stock at a target PE of 3.5x FY16e earnings.

Risks

Volatility in key raw material prices.PCB imports most of its key raw material, CBFS. Prices strongly correlate with those of crude oil. Though a pricing mechanism is in place, any sharp increase in the price of CBFS, if not passed on to end-customers, would eat into margins.

Capacity utilization. Capacity has been constantly increased over the years. If optimal utilization is not forthcoming, profitability would be substantially affected.

Forex fluctuation. Nearly 90% of the raw material is imported; hence, any depreciation in exchange rates may squeeze margins.
