PGCIL order inflow analysis and a comparative study on Transmission EPC players

Ordering activity broadly on par with last year; substation ordering stays firm; Techno Electric

remains our top pick

Ordering activity stays flat y-o-y till Mid-March – Ordering activity by Power Grid (PGCIL) in FY16 (till mid-march, Rs.155bn)

has been broadly on par with FY15. This is inspite of weaker ordering in 2HFY16 which witnessed a decline of ~50% y-o-y.

Ordering pace in the transmission line segment registered a decline of 40% y-o-y. Substation and transformers ordering

remained healthy at Rs.40bn (flat yoy) and Rs. 7.4bn (15% yoy increase) respectively

TLT ordering see decline y-o-y, KECI, KPP win sizeable market share – Transmission line tower (TLT) ordering had

witnesses a y-o-y decline of 40% to Rs. 46bn in FY16 (till mid-march). Core TLT contractors – KEC (KECI), Kalpataru Power

(KPP)- secured a healthy share of ~40% of the overall TLT ordering during the period. We believe recent weakness in TLT

ordering to be only a near term concern (timing issue) and should pick-up as Rs. 40bn worth of PGCIL TLT tenders are in the

immediate pipeline. Competitive intensity has stabilized at ~6 bidders per TLT contract over the past 3-4 quarters. We expect

EBITDA margin for TLT contractors to be ~9-10% going forward.

Substation ordering momentum continues, Chinese/Korean players dominate GIS, TEEC wins sizeable share in AIS –

Substation orders remained healthy at Rs. 40bn in FY16 (vs. Rs. 44bn in FY15 and Rs. 26bn in FY14). Chinese/Korean players

continued to dominate the Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) segment by bidding for/winning majority of the GIS orders inspite of

competition from MNC players (ABB, ATD and SIEM). In Air insulated substation (AIS) orders, Techno Electric (TEEC) had

registered sizeable orders Rs. 4.2bn (22% market share). It has also won a STATCOM order with Rongxin (Rs. 4.8bn order).

Robust substation ordering by PGCIL, improved ordering by SEBs and new STATCOM orders (2-3 orders in the next 12

months) should improve the order inflow prospects for TEEC

International opportunity large, KECI,KPP to benefit given their presence – Transmission and distribution (T&D) spend by

international regions is expected to be strong inspite of global headwinds. Latest reports suggest MENA region is likely to spend

~USD 50bn in T&D spend over the next five years. Already ~$8bn has been spent in 2015 in the region. Similarly, top five

African countries are expected to spend ~USD 30bn over the next 4-5 years. Given KECI and KPP’s sizeable presence (~50%

of TLT order book in international markets), we expect ordering momentum to sustain.

Comparative Analysis: Prefer Techno among the trio followed by KECI and KPP – We remain positive on KECI, KPP and

TEEC given the increasing transmission spend in both domestic and international markets. We prefer TEEC given the high

quality management, conservative approach, strong order book position (2x book-to-bill) and possible triggers from wind power

asset sale. Assign 16x FY18E earnings and Rs. 131/share for other assets to arrive at a TP of Rs. 585. Maintain ‘Buy’

KECI should register strong order inflow growth (17% CAGR) driven by increased traction from international transmission

orders (EPC orders from Brazil for SAE towers), ordering from substation and railway segments. Turnaround in SAE Towers

should lead to higher margins. Assign 12x FY18E multiple to arrive at a TP of Rs. 150. Maintain ‘Buy’

KPP should register healthy growth (13% yoy growth) driven by healthy order inflow in FY16E and a low base. EBITDA margin

(standalone) should sustain at ~10.7% as the margin in infrastructure segment improves. Improvement in operational

performance in JMC projects and sale of real estate projects in Thane and Indore should lead to improved overall performance.

KECI, KPP wins sizeable orders from PGCIL, SEBs

In the 13th plan sizeable portion of the transmission spend should

come from the SEBs

Source: Ministry of Power, Spark Capital Research

Overall PGCIL ordering in FY16 (till mid-March) has been at a similar run-

rate as FY15. Ordering for substations has continued to remain high at ~Rs.

40bn worth of orders. Orders in the transmission line towers (TLT) segment

witnessed a decline of 40% y-o-y which, we believe is due to the shift in

focus of PGCIL towards execution of existing projects already awarded vis-a-

vis award of new orders. Order inflow momentum in TLT segment should

pick up from FY17E onwards given ~Rs. 40bn worth of orders are in pipeline.

Competitive intensity in TLT ordering has remained low at a historical level

due to the stringent pre-qualification norms insisted by PGCIL.We believe the

elimination of fringe players in the TLT market has improved the margin

profile of orders in the segment.

KECI (~27% market share) and KPP (13% market share) have continued to

win sizeable portion of the TLT orders. KPP has secured sizeable contracts

from SEBs also. We believe KECI and KPP would benefit from any pick up in

TLT ordering from both PGCIL and SEBs from FY17E

PGCIL order inflow analysis and a comparative study on Transmission EPC players

International transmission spend likely to be robust

Ordering activity in the MENA region is likely to remain high inspite of the

recent fall in crude oil prices. The governments have continued to focus on

basis infrastructure spend which includes transmission related expenditure.

About ~USD 50bn worth of transmission spend is expected over the next 5

years. Already ~8bn worth of expenditure was incurred in 2015 in this region

Similarly, key African countries are also having sizeable plans to increase

their spend on transmission and distribution over the next 4-5 years. About

~USD 25-30bn is expected to be spent by the top five countries in this

region. Both, KECI and KPP have sizable presence in Africa.

For KECI, ordering opportunity is expanding in the Latin American countries.

It has started to secure EPC orders in Brazil (so far they have been

executing only tower supply contracts). EPC contracts are thrice the size of

pure supply contracts.

Sizeable opportunity in the international markets should sustain growth in

international segment and mitigate geographical concentration risks for both

Expanding substation market to accommodate increased competition

Ordering activity in the substation market has remained strong from

PGCIL. ~Rs. 40bn worth of orders have been tendered out of which Rs.

21bn is for Gas Insulated Substation (GIS)

Chinese players have continued to dominate the GIS and Extra high

voltage (EHV) market. Among air insulated substation (AIS) orders,

TEEC and Alstom have secured sizeable orders. STATCOM order has

been secured by Rongxin (in a tie-up with TEEC).

While we acknowledge the increased competition in the substation

market – Hyosung setting up manufacturing facility in India, TLT players

foraying into substation EPC and domestic MNC players getting

aggressive - we believe an expanding market should provide comfortable

opportunity for TEEC.

GIS continues to command high share in overall ordering

KECI – Bid pipeline strong, turnaround in SAE, new segments to improve margins

Order inflow momentum for KECI should sustain given the strong bid

pipeline across geographies, verticals and foray into EPC contracts in

Brazil (through SAE Towers). We expect order inflow to grow by 17%

CAGR in FY16E-FY18E

KECI margins in the new segments (substation, railways) have improved

as a few low margin orders are completed. We expect EBITDA margin

should sustain at higher levels driven by turnaround in SAE Towers

operations (especially Mexico) and improved margin in the new

segments (substations, railways)

KECI has reduced its interest cost from 3.7% of FY15 sales to ~3.5% in

9MFY16 through monetization of assets (land and telecom assets).

Interest cost should decrease further to ~3% of FY17E revenue on the

back of improved credit rating (improved to A1+ from A1 in Nov’15) and

better mix of relatively low cost debt vs. high interest cost bearing

acceptances

…should lead to strong order inflow over the next 1-2 years

KPP – Strong order inflow momentum to lead to growth recovery

KPP has registered strong order inflow in FY16E (~Rs. 61bn so far vs.

Rs. 31bn in FY15). This has been largely due to two large orders from

Tamil Nadu and Karnataka SEBs (~Rs. 11bn worth of orders) and EPC

contracts worth Rs. 8.5bn for the transmission BOT project KPP had

secured in West Bengal

EBITDA margin for KPP has seen an increase to 10.7% in FY16E (vs.

9.6% in FY15) driven by benefits from fall in commodity prices (for fixed

price contracts) and turnaround in the infrastructure segment. We expect

margin to stabilize at these levels over the next two years

JMC Projects margin should sustain higher at ~8.4% (vs. 6.8% in FY15)

as higher share of the order book carry price variation clause. Stabilizing

operations in infrastructure segment, staggered sale of real estate

investments should be additional triggers.

TEEC – Strong order book position to drive growth, further wind asset sale to act as near term trigger

TEEC’s order inflow in FY16E should be on-par with FY15 (Rs. 14bn) on

the back of better ordering traction in Jan-Mar’16. Current order book of

~Rs. 20bn (2x FY16E book-to-bill) provides sufficient revenue visibility

and should lead to 17-18% revenue CAGR over the next two years

We expect order inflow momentum to continue in the medium term driven

by robust substation ordering sustained by PGCIL and increased by

SEBs. Further STATCOM orders in the pipeline (2-3 orders expected in

the next12 months) should drive order inflow

Possible sale of remaining wind power assets (162MW) should reduce

the current net debt of Rs. 2bn and lead to net cash scenario. TEEC is

expected to invest in substation BOT based projects going forward. We

believe TEEC is likely to have a cautious approach towards solar EPC

projects given the volatility in this segment

…should be driven by a strong order book (~2x FY16E book-to-bill)

TEEC carries better EBITDA margin due to

its asset light business model and low cost

of operations. KECI and KPP carry

relatively lower margin due to higher fixed

costs

KECI has the highest leverage with a debt-

to-equity ratio of 1.6x and interest cost of

~3.3% FY16E. Scope for interest cost

reduction is high given recent improved

credit rating and stable debt position

Order inflow growth scope is high for both

KECI and TEEC given their expanding

addressable markets (for KECI – Brazil

EPC projects and substations). Order

inflow for KPP should moderate due to a

high base (doubling of order inflow yoy in

FY16E)

Execution growth should remain healthy

for all the players given – low base, strong

order inflow visibility and stabilization of

commodity prices (for KECI and KPP).

TEEC should grow by ~20% CAGR given

strong order book position

Parameter KECI KPP TEEC Comments

Order Inflow

Momentum 1 3 2

Order inflow traction for KECI should remain strong given sustained ordering in Middle East, EPC orders in Brazil and Railways, Substation

contracts. Ordering for KPP should be flat over the next two years given the high base created in FY16E

Execution Pace 3 2 1 Execution pace for TEEC should remain strong given the strong order book (book to bill of ~2x)

Scope for margin

Expansion 1 3 2 For KECI, Turnaround in SAE Towers, and improving margins in new segments (railways, water,etc) should lead to margin expansion

Working Capital 1 2 3 KECI continues to have a relatively lower working capital requirement. KPP has maintained working capital position over the past few

years.TEEC’s working capital has deteriorated the most

Management Quality 2 3 1 We believe TEEC’s management has a more prudent and conservative approach in picking orders with strong execution

Overall Ranking 2 3 1 We prefer TEEC due to its focused, selective approach towards picking orders, asset light operations and a strong balance sheet

position (with low leverage ~0.2x debt-to-equity)

higher inventory levels (bulk

broadly similar to all three players
