Leading player in GCC hospitals market—Saudi issues resolved
Over the last decade, Aster has emerged as one of the leading healthcare service providers in
GCC with 9 hospitals accounting for 20% of FY2018 revenues. From FY2015-18, Aster’s GCC
hospital business was impacted due to aggressive expansion and losses in Sanad Hospital in
Saudi Arabia (was a key contributor to profits in FY2014). However, with Sanad accounting for
only ~5% of FY2018 revenues and losses at an EBITDA level, it is no longer a big drag, while
the mature GCC business operates at high 27% RoCE. We expect the GCC hospitals to grow at
15% CAGR driven by a mix of existing and new hospitals, and expect EBITDA margins to
improve by 400 bps to ~17% by FY2021E driven by maturity mix and turnaround in Sanad.
>30% steady-state RoCE for GCC clinics and pharmacy business
Aster DM operates one of the largest networks of private clinics in the GCC with 98 clinics,
though given a doubling of clinic count from FY2014-17, profitability suffered with EBITDA
falling to 11.3% in FY2018 from a peak of ~18%. With an improving maturity profile, we
expect EBITDA margin to move up to 14.5% in FY2021E. Given an asset-light model, the clinics
business has attractive return dynamics, with mature clinics operating at >30% RoCE. Aster DM
has a strong retail pharmacy network across the GCC with 207 pharmacies across GCC and
RoCE of 39% with steady performance. We expect pharmacy revenues to grow at a steady 9%
EBITDA CAGR over FY2018-21E, with gradual margin expansion, driven by operating leverage
as well as gradual, continued shift to private label.
Rapid expansion in India, with strong EBITDA growth prospects
Aster DM’s India operations are focused in Kerala and Bengaluru, which account for 1,478 beds
and 72% of India revenues in FY2018. Aster DM’s flagship Kochi hospital commenced
operations in FY2015, and broke even in FY2017, with FY2018 EBITDA margins crossing 15%
on revenues of `3.3 bn. Aster DM’s CMI Bengaluru hospital also turned profitable and we
expect it to reach double-digit EBITDA margin by FY2020. While the company is now moving to
an asset-light model, given the asset block in Kochi and MedCity, we expect India RoCE to
move to 6-7% by FY2021, despite a strong 32% EBITDA CAGR from FY2018-21E.
Maturity mix to drive profitability – BUY
Aster DM’s business stands out among listed Indian peers given (1) strong underlying
profitability of GCC hospitals, (2) scalable asset-light model for clinics and pharmacies, and (3) a
fast-growing India business. Aster DM trades at ~10X FY2020E EV/EBITDA, a significant
discount to Indian and GCC peers. We value Aster DM at `240/share, valuing both India and
GCC businesses at 15X FY2020E attributable EBITDA.
Aster DM Healthcare (ASTERDM) Pharmaceuticals
Healthy prospects. We initiate coverage on Aster DM with a BUY rating and a target
price of `240/share. Aster DM is a leading healthcare service provider in the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (~82% of FY2018 EBITDA), with a network
spanning hospitals, clinics and pharmacies, all of which have strong underlying return
profiles. Aster is also expanding its presence across India with a strong network in the
South. We forecast 12% and 25% revenue and EBITDA CAGR, respectively over
FY2018-21E, and expect RoCE to improve to 12% by FY2021E. BUY

VALUATION: BUY, WITH TARGET PRICE OF `240
We value Aster DM at `240/share based on a blended ~15X FY2020E attributable EBITDA, valuing both India
and GCC businesses at 15X FY2020E EV/EBITDA. Our multiple of 15X for India business represents a slight
premium with Indian peers and reflects a stronger growth profile (2.5X EBITDA jump from FY2018-21E), while
our GCC multiple of 15X is at a slight discount to other Middle East-based listed players, reflecting slightly
lower profitability in the UAE and Saudi versus peers. Given improving profitability in hospitals and clinics
(27% EBITDA CAGR from FY2018-21E) and improving cash flow profile (~`12 bn FCF generation over
FY2019-21E), we believe Aster DM can trade at a premium to Indian peers.
Sharp discount to peers unwarranted
Aster DM shares trade at ~10X FY2020E EV/EBITDA, a significant discount to Indian and
GCC peers. We believe the discount partially reflects a lack of understanding of the GCC
profitability, given the volatility in profits in FY2015-18, as well as strong seasonality element
(65% of EBITDA in 2H), which has precluded investors from getting comfort on the EBITDA
ramp-up, witnessed in FY2018.
Aster DM’s business stands out among listed Indian peers having a unique mix of highly
profitable GCC assets and an increasing presence in India. Given strong underlying
profitability of GCC hospitals (established units RoCE at 27%), (2) scalable asset-light model
for clinics (30-35% for mature units) and pharmacies (~40% RoCE for mature units), and
(3) a relatively nascent India business (2.5X EBITDA growth from FY2018-21E), we believe
Aster’s current business mix is superior to other Indian listed peers. We model healthy 14%
revenue CAGR over FY2018-21E, and expect EBITDA to grow at 27% CAGR over the same
period with 320 bps expansion in EBITDA margin led by improving maturity mix in the UAE
for hospitals and clinics, and continued margin expansion in India, primarily driven by Kochi
and Bengaluru hospitals. Return ratios are expected to improve and we forecast 12%
consolidated RoCE (post-tax) in FY2021 versus 5.6% in FY2018.

Initiate with BUY rating; target price of `240/share
We value Aster DM at `240/share based on a blended ~15X FY2020E EBITDA (attributable
to Aster), valuing both India and GCC at 15X FY2020E EV/EBITDA. Our multiple of 15X for

Strong growth in all segments to support valuation re-rating
GCC hospitals to benefit from maturity mix. The UAE remains Aster’s key geography
for hospitals with five hospitals in Dubai and Sharjah operated under MedCare and Aster
brand. We expect hospitals in the UAE to grow at 15% CAGR driven by steady 7-8% in
growth in matured facilities as well as contribution from new facilities. Recently
commissioned hospitals had a `930 mn loss in FY2018, which we expect to swing to
profitability by FY2020, though EBITDA margins are expected to remain stable given
ongoing expansion (commissioning of three new facilities during FY2018-21 in the UAE).
Saudi turnaround to aid margins. We expect Aster’s Sanad hospital to continue to turn
around with reduction in government patients and increasing contribution from insurance
and cash patients. Over FY2018-21E, we expect Sanad to grow at 18% CAGR and reach
EBITDA margin of 18% by FY2021E.
India still in ramp-up mode. We expect India hospitals to grow at 13% CAGR driven by
11% growth in Kochi, 15% growth in CMI Bangalore and contribution from upcoming

facilities. More importantly, we expect Kochi and CMI Bengaluru to reach 16% and 15%
EBITDA margin, respectively by FY2020 (from 15% and -8%, respectively in FY2018),
thereby positively aiding margin progression, with 90 bps EBITDA margin contribution to

universal health insurance in Dubai, we expect clinics to grow at 10% CAGR over
FY2018-21 with improving margin trajectory as the pace of clinics addition slows down.
Steady growth expected in pharmacies. We expect pharmacies to grow at a steady
pace of 9% CAGR led by addition of new stores with SSG in existing stores at 4-5%. We
expect EBITDA margins in pharmacy business to continue to improve driven by increasing
contribution from non-pharma products along with increasing penetration of generics.

Holding structure discount should narrow given clarity on Middle East structure
Typically, Middle East hospital chains trade at a premium valuation to Indian hospitals due to
the intrinsic high returns, though the Middle East hospitals trade at a discount to South East
Asian players, partially due to the holding structure discount. We value Aster’s Middle East
business in line with the Indian peers (instead of a premium) to capture its holding structure,
as it holds minority shareholding in most of its GCC operations despite having management
control as laws in GCC states such as the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar state that 51% of ownership
should reside with local nationals, even as 70% foreign ownership is allowed in Oman. In
order to provide comfort on the holding structure, Aster implemented a revised holding
structure in CY2015 (see Exhibit 44). The revised structure is based out of the Dubai
International Finance Centre (DIFC), operating under a trust law modeled on common law
principles, which permits the enforcements of trusts through the DIFC Court. While trust
agreements are not recognized under the civil law system operating in the UAE, the DIFC
trust is self-contained in the DIFC jurisdiction, which has laws explicitly recognizing the legal
concepts of trusts and beneficial ownership, thereby, removing the risks pertaining to the
local ownership holding structure. Moreover, the UAE has recently proposed a law to
allow 100% foreign ownership, which should remove the potential ownership risks.

1QFY19 earnings print – encouraging after several quarters
ITC’s net operating revenues for 1QFY19 stood at `107 bn (+8% yoy), 1% ahead of our
estimated `105.6 bn. EBITDA for the quarter stood at `42 bn, +12% yoy and 5% ahead of our
estimate. Recurring PAT of `28.2 bn, +10% yoy, was 3% ahead. EBITDA margin stood at
39.2%, +161 bps yoy and 126 bps ahead of our estimate driven by sharp improvement in
profitability of hotels, FMCG and paperboard segments. ETR for the quarter stood at 34.4%.
Other income was below our expectations resulting in a lower outperformance at the PAT level
as compared to that at the EBITDA level.
Cigarettes – EBIT growth accelerates marginally to 9% yoy
ITC’s cigarette EBIT grew 9% yoy to `35.6 bn, 2% ahead of our estimate. This was ahead of
EBIT growth levels reported in the past three quarters and was aided by an improved volume
growth trajectory. We estimate a volume growth of +1% yoy as opposed to the 4-7% yoy
volume decline seen in each of the past three quarters. We believe the mix continued to move
in favor of the 64 mm segment.
Other segments – healthy EBIT growth in all segments excluding agri
Other FMCG segment saw a slightly disappointing topline growth of 10% yoy (14.3%
underlying); our estimate was 12%. We do note that ITC did not have as low a pre-GST
1QFY18 base for the FMCG business as peers and the 2-year CAGR growth of around 9% is
fairly robust in context of what the peers have reported thus far. FMCG EBIT margin stood at
1.7%, +153 bps yoy. Hotels segment saw revenue and EBIT growth of 12% and 149%,
respectively, reflecting improved industry scenario. Paperboards had a decent quarter (flat
revenues, +15% EBIT) while agri business disappointed (segment EBIT declined 17% yoy).
Remain constructive on the stock; risk/reward favorable
We have tweaked our forecasts marginally and raise our June 2019E fair value target to
`330/share from `315 earlier. We value the cigarette business at 25X post-tax EBIT and the
FMCG business as 5X EV/sales. We remain positive; it is perhaps the only large-cap stock in the
sector where the current valuations factor in a less-than-super-optimistic view of the future.
ITC (ITC) Consumer Products
Improving cigarette EBIT growth trajectory encouraging. ITC’s 1QFY19 earnings
print was ahead of our expectations with multi-quarter high operating profit growth
comps. Cigarette volume growth in the positive zone (+1% yoy, our estimate) and
modest acceleration in cigarette EBIT growth were the key positives while subdued
topline growth in the FMCG was the key disappointment. We tweak estimates
marginally, raise fair value target to `330 (from `315) and reiterate ADD.

Press release highlights
FMCG growth was led by (a) staples (Aashirvaad atta), snacks (Bingo), and meals in the
packaged foods segment, (b) deodorants, handwash and bodywash in the personal care
segment, and (c) continued strong performance in Classmate notebooks. Lifestyle
(apparel) retailing business continued to struggle.
FMCG segment EBITDA stood at `1.28 bn, up 86% yoy. EBITDA margins work out to
4.5%.
The company launched a premium skincare brand ‘Dermafique’ during the quarter.
Hotels segment performance was aided by higher room rates, strong F&B sales and
operating leverage. ITC commissioned ITC Kohenur, a 271-room luxury property in
Hyderabad.
Paperboard segment revenues were partly impacted by shutdown of a paperboard
machine for a part of the quarter.

1QFY19 EBITDA 6% below estimates due to higher-than-expected other expenses
The company reported EBITDA of ₹33.5 bn (+43.8% yoy), which was 6% below our estimates
led by higher-than-expected other expenses. Revenues grew 28% yoy led by (1) 24.3% yoy
growth in volumes, (2) 2.4% yoy improvement in net average realizations and (3) 57% yoy
increase in other operating income (recovery of freight income is booked in operating income,
which was `2.45 bn in 1QFY19). Gross margin improved by 100 bps on a yoy basis but declined
by 110 bps qoq. Sequential decline in gross margin was led by rise in input costs (-80 bps qoq)
and increase in discounts (-30 bps qoq). Product mix improved on a sequential basis as volume
share of high-margin models (Baleno, Brezza and Dzire) was 34.6% in 1QFY19 versus 26.1% in
1QFY18 and 32.9% in 4QFY18.
Staff cost increased by 17% yoy while other expenses increased by 25% yoy, which was 6%
higher than our estimates mainly led by increase in freight costs, repairs and maintenance
expenses in Gurgaon plant and higher-than-expected increase in royalty expenses. Royalty costs
were 5.5% of net sales in 1QFY19 (-30 bps qoq) versus our estimate of 5.1%. FX negatively
impacted royalty cost by 25 bps on a yoy basis. Other income was lower in the quarter as the
company took an MTM hit of `4.5 bn due to 80 bps increase in interest rates during the
quarter. The company hasn’t taken any price increase in 1QFY19 but we believe a 1-2% price
hike in 2QFY19 is likely as per our channel checks.
Maintain ADD rating as volume growth outlook remains strong
We believe MSIL’s capacity will be booked for the next three years as volumes can grow at 12%
CAGR over this period while Gujarat plant will stabilize over the next one year, which will lead
to improvement in EBITDA margin for the company. We factor in 15.4% and 16.1% EBITDA
margin for the company in FY2019 and FY2020, respectively versus 15.1% for FY2018. We
have cut our EBITDA estimates by 3-5% over FY2019-21 due to lower EBITDA margin
assumptions factoring in higher other expenses. We have increased our target price to `10,000
(from `9,700 earlier) as we roll over from March 2020E to June 2020E. We value the company
at 25X on our March 2020E EPS + `1,300 of cash and cash equivalents.
Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) Automobiles
Slight miss due to increase in other expenses. Maruti Suzuki reported EBITDA of
`33.5 bn in 1QFY19 (+44% yoy), which was 6% below our estimates mainly led by
higher-than-expected increase in other expenses. Revenues increased by 28% yoy led
by strong volume growth and a richer product mix. We believe Maruti Suzuki’s operating
margins will improve due to scale benefits, a richer product mix and reduction in
discounts. We maintain ADD rating; TP revised to `10,000 (from `9,700).

Conference call highlights
The company remains confident on the demand environment going ahead and has
guided double-digit volume growth for itself in FY2019E as compared to industry growth
estimate of 8-9%. Demand is strong in both rural and urban markets; rural markets now
account for 33% of its overall volumes. We note that there is a continued shift towards
petrol models in the market, which augurs well for Maruti’s market share. Share of petrol
vehicles was 72% of the company’s volumes in 1QFY19.
Despite ramp-up in production over the past few months, there is still waiting period in
key models such as Baleno (2-4 weeks), Brezza (4 months), Swift petrol (4 weeks) and
Dzire models (2-4 weeks). Pending order book is around 110,000 units currently.
The company indicated their enquiries and bookings increased by 13% and 15% yoy,
respectively.
Production from Gujarat plant was 66,000 in 1QFY19 versus 58,000 units in 4QFY18. The
third assembly line in Gujarat will be commissioned in January 2019.
Gross margin declined by 110 bps qoq led by (1) increase in commodity prices, which
negatively impacted the company’s gross margins by 80 bps qoq in 1QFY19 and (2)
increase in discounts on a qoq basis (30 bps negative impact). Discount per vehicle
declined to `15,161 in 1QFY19 from ₹13,880 per vehicle in 4QFY18.
Raw material imports are 15% of sales in 1QFY19 (5% is direct imports and 10% is
indirect imports). 5.5% of sales is royalty cost. 10% of net sales is exports, so net imports
are around 9-10% of sales.
For FY2018, Maruti incurred capex of ₹34 bn as against its guidance of `40 bn; of this,
`8 bn was incurred towards acquisition of land for dealers. The company is guiding a
capex of `50 bn in FY2019E, which will be incurred for engine capacity expansion,
product development, R&D, maintenance expenses and `10 bn spend towards acquisition
of land for dealers.
The company added 315 new dealers in FY2018; of this, 140 dealers were added for the
commercial vehicle segment where Maruti has around 190 dealers currently.
Finance penetration for Maruti’s vehicles was 80.5% in FY2018, which was largely similar
to FY2017 levels of 80%.

NIM slips further by 10 bps as cost of funds rises sharply
Yes Bank reported 31% yoy earnings growth led by 33% yoy growth in revenues while
provisions for bad loans grew 120% yoy. NII growth, despite a 52% yoy growth in loans, was
slower at 23% yoy resulting in 10 bps qoq (40 bps yoy) growth in NIM to 3.3%. Fee income
growth was strong led by strong growth in corporate fees. Asset quality ratios were stable on
most metrics while coverage ratio improved 500 bps qoq to 55%. Gross NPLs was flat qoq at
1.3% of loans with slippages at ~1% of loans. The bank has made a total MTM impact of
`3.7 bn of which a provision of `0.9 bn was made during the quarter.
Not much change to our commentary: NIM pressure, high fees, employee additions and tier-1
This quarter has again highlighted some of our concerns that we have raised in the previous
few quarters: (1) loan growth remains high though sequential growth suggests that the
slowdown would be visible by 3QFY19. We would be a lot more comfortable if the growth has
a lower contribution from the large corporate segment, (2) NIM pressure has accentuated for
the past few quarters and while the management is confident of a recovery of ~25 bps in the
medium term, we are less optimistic of such a recovery given the rise in cost of funds, (3) CET-1
has declined 20 bps qoq to 9.5%, which is increasing the need to raise capital in the next few
quarters, (4) the bank reported a decline of 6% yoy (rose 7% qoq) in employee headcount
despite higher growth in retail loans and (5) fee contribution is still high from corporate
banking.
Maintain SELL with TP of `335 (from `325 earlier)
We maintain our negative outlook on the bank. Our SELL rating has been driven by our inability
to take a constructive positive view from a valuation and business standpoint. We are a lot more
comfortable to play the recovery on corporate NPL cycle through ICICI Bank and SBI rather than
Yes Bank given the valuation differential. Also, as highlighted in the previous few quarters, we
believe some of the headwinds that we have seen on NIM is a bit more cyclical while fee
growth would be a challenge in the new accounting regime as and when implemented. Hence,
the RoEs pressure argument continues. AT our revised TP of `335 (from `325 earlier on account
of earnings revision), we value the bank at 2.4X book and 16X March 2020E EPS for RoEs in the
range of ~15-17% in the medium term.
YES Bank (YES) Banks
NIM under pressure; as expected. Yes Bank focus on loan growth led to another 5%
qoq (52% yoy) growth with nearly all segments contributing to this performance.
However, this has hurt NIM (10 bps qoq) resulting in disappointing NII growth (23% yoy).
Composition of non-interest income is still skewed towards corporate banking. CET-1 is
at 9.5% and there is a need to strengthen this ratio in the short term. Asset quality
metrics is stable. We maintain SELL rating as valuations are still expensive.

Weak other income growth
Yes Bank reported 50% yoy growth in non-interest income driven by strong growth in forex,
debt capital markets and securities income at 43% yoy (up 1.6X qoq). Growth in retail
banking fees maintained robust growth at 29% yoy. Within this, growth in processing fee
and general banking fees were strong at 42% and 58% yoy, respectively. Fee from third
party sales dropped 17% yoy. Corporate trade and cash management and corporate
banking fees witnessed spike in growth in 1QFY19; up 60% and 66% yoy, respectively
Non-interest income is expected to deliver strong growth going ahead driven by robust
performance on corporate banking fees. We forecast 12% CAGR in other income over
FY2018-21E.

Margins shrink qoq
Reported NIM dropped 10 bps qoq and 40 bps yoy to 3.3% driven by rise in cost of funds.
Cost of funds increased 30 bps qoq to 6.3% led by drop in CASA. This was party nullified by
10 bps rise in yield on advances by 10 bps qoq to 10% (down 40 bps yoy). The bank has
raised one-year MCLR rates in May and June 2018 by 10 bps each time.
We forecast about 19 bps NIM (calculated) compression over FY2018-20E to 2.9% driven by
shift in loan mix towards more increase in share of low-yielding retail products.
CASA ratio drops 140 bps qoq
Yes Bank reported ~36% yoy and muted 2% qoq growth in CASA driven by strong SA
growth. SA increased 27% yoy and 5% qoq. CA dropped 2% qoq. CASA ratio declined
~150 bps qoq to 35%. Overall strong deposit growth at 42% yoy was below loan growth.
One notes a reasonably strong growth in borrowings (up 1X yoy) in the current quarter to
support strong loan growth.
We forecast 24% CASA CAGR over FY2018-21E and 42% CASA ratio by FY2021E.

Loan growth maintains momentum
Loan growth was strong at 53% yoy, similar to the previous quarter. The strong loan growth
was driven by robust growth on corporate and retail loans side. Corporate loans saw strong
growth at 52% yoy in 1QFY19. The share of AA and above-rated loans increased 90 bps yoy
to 36%. Growth in retail assets picked pace at 1X yoy growth in 1QFY19. The share of retail
loans in the overall portfolio has increased 350 bps yoy and 180 bps qoq to 14%. Going
ahead, this mix will gradually increase. Business banking and micro and SME segments grew
35% and 29% yoy, respectively. Growth has been broadly stable across segments.
We forecast 16% loan growth in FY2018-21E driven by swift growth in the retail book.

Other highlights for the quarter
Cost-income ratio dropped 300 bps qoq and 480 bps yoy to 37%. Operating expenses
grew 18% yoy on the back of modest 8% yoy growth in staff costs and 26% yoy growth
in non-staff costs. The company added 1,359 (net) employees in 1QFY19, which might
increase employee expenses going ahead. Growth in other expenses is expected to slow
down given the slowdown in business expansion adopted by the bank in the past few
quarters. The bank witnessed net addition of 5 branches in 1QFY19. We forecast 21%
CAGR in operating expenses over FY2018-21E.
CAR dropped 150 bps qoq to 16.9%. Tier-I stands at 12.8%. Growth in RWA at 47%
yoy is almost similar to loan growth.

Margins expand in 1QFY19
SBI Life reported VNB margin of 17% in 1QFY19, up from 16.3% in FY2018 from 15.4% in
FY2017. The company had not shared margins in 1QFY18 and hence we don’t have a yoy
comparison. Increase in VNB margins over FY2018 was largely due to change in business
composition in favor of protection business. On NBP basis, the share of protection (individual
and group) increased to 10.2% from 5.7% in 1QFY18. Individual protection APE was up 76%
yoy; share of individual protection business increased to 1.5% of APE in 1QFY19 from 0.8% in
1QFY18. In the group credit life segment, the company migrated to single premium in 1QFY19
from regular premium in 1QFY18. As such, APE was down 66% yoy even as margin in this
segment increased significantly. On an APE basis, protection (individual and group) was low at
1.8% in 1QFY19. Management highlighted that while the transition to single premium reduced
volumes significantly, VNB margins increased and the net benefit was a marginally higher
contribution to VNB.
Persistency continues to improve
SBI Life’s persistency improved across the board in individual non-single business. 13th month
persistency increased to 82.25% in 1QFY19 from 78.93% in 1QFY18 and 81.27% in FY2018.
The company revised its assumption on persistency upwards in FY2018 and hence we don’t
find any immediate benefit on our VNB assumptions.
Volumes weak in 1QFY19; will likely pick up
SBI Life delivered 5% growth in APE as compared to 27% in FY2018. The company has focused
on process restructuring and pushing protection products, largely in the SBI ecosystem.
Management highlight that business should pick up from 2QFY19—a trend we will closely
monitor. The company expects 20-25% APE growth in FY2019E.
Retain positive stance
We are tweaking our estimates for SBI Life to factor lower growth in FY2019E, which is partially
offset by higher margins as a consequence of increase in protection business. We expect SBI Life
to deliver 19-20% medium-term operating RoEV and 21% EVOP CAGR during FY2019-21E.
Retain positive stance with price target of `785; at our TP, the stock will trade at 3X EV and 18X
EVOP FY2020E.
SBI Life Insurance (SBILIFE) NBFCs
VNB margins rise; protection story playing out. SBI Life delivered further expansion
in VNB margins to 17% in 1QFY19 from 16.2% in FY2018 and 15.4% in FY2017 even
as premium growth was weak. Margin expansion was largely due to change in business
composition towards higher-margin protection business—a trend that will continue
over the medium term. Improving persistency is a positive trend though we don’t find
any immediate-term impact of the same. We tweak estimates to factor near-term
weakness in volumes, retain ADD with price target of `785 (down from `815).

13% growth in earnings
SBI Life reported 13% yoy growth in PAT to `3.54 bn. 26% growth in overall premium
(even as new business premium was up 3% yoy) and reduction in benefits paid led to
increase in net cash flows post expenses to `48 bn versus `17 bn in 1QFY18. We believe
that net cash flow can’t be monitored on a quarterly basis but remain an important
parameter.

Key assumptions in our EV forecasts
25% APE CAGR during FY2019-21E
SBI Life currently has ~17% penetration among the existing branch network, i.e. 4,000
branches do at least one policy a month. Also, per branch productivity for SBI Life is nearly
1/4th of levels at private banks. SBI branches delivered average business of `2.4 mn in
FY2018 from `1.8 mn in FY2017. SBI Life is focused on increasing the branch coverage by
10-15% every year, which coupled with 10-15% improvement in productivity, can drive 30-
35% growth in bancassurance premiums.
VNB margins inching up
We expect VNB margins to inch up to 17.5% in FY2020E from 16.3% in FY2018 and 17%
in 1QFY19, largely driven by increasing protection business. We don’t expect business drivers
to change significantly. High growth in business will led to operating leverage as well but we
expect the company to continue its investments in new businesses thereby reducing the
aforesaid benefit. ULIPs have contributed to about 66% of SBI Life’s APE in FY2018 and
1QFY19—the company expects the business composition within savings business to remain
stable over time.
Marginal operating variances
We are building marginal operating variances in our estimates, contributing 2-3% to EVOP
as compared to 5% in FY2018. We assume moderate but consistent improvement on
persistency and mortality front even as expense benefits may be passed through higher
margins.
Tax assumption conservative than peers
Unlike its peers (HDFC Life and ICICI Prudential Life) that factor the effective tax rate (net of
available tax credits), SBI Life assumed the gross tax rate in its EV calculation. On assuming
effective tax rate, SBI Life’s margins would be 19% as compared to 17% reported in
1QFY19.

1QFY19 earnings print – in line, adjusted for the noise in the internals
Consolidated (100% BHIN SA + 42% of Indus) revenues stood at `36.74 bn, flat qoq, +4.2%
yoy, and 2.4% ahead of our estimate. Core service (rental) revenues of `22 bn were down
2.7% yoy, up 0.6% qoq and 1.7% ahead of our expectations. Reported EBITDA, service +
energy, stood at `15.2 bn, down 4.6% qoq and 3.5% yoy. This was 1.8% below our estimate
largely on account of the miss on energy EBITDA. Service EBITDA stood at `14.65 bn, +2.4%
qoq and down 3.3% yoy. Energy EBITDA saw a sharp qoq decline to `542 mn, also lower on a
yoy basis (down 9.7%). This was 59% below our expectations. Energy EBITDA margin stood at
3.7%. Recurring PAT stood at `6.4 bn (down 3.9% yoy).
Noisy internals – timing of ‘actual exits’, D&A policy change, volatile energy spread
We note that the rental revenues for the quarter included revenues from 6,672 tenancies for
which BHIN has received exit notices but actual exits have not happened yet. These revenues
will go away as actual exits happen and to that extent, reported service revenues have a
small (2.5-3%) non-recurring portion. Underlying recurring service EBITDA, correspondingly,
would be around 4-4.5% lower than reported.
D&A charge for the quarter declined 6% qoq and 9% yoy to `5.39 bn. We note that the
company revised upwards the scrap/residual value of some of its fixed assets (DG sets,
battery banks, etc.) basis realized value of such assets in the recent past. This led to lower
D&A charge.
Energy EBITDA saw a sharp qoq decline to `542 mn, also lower on a yoy basis (down 9.7%).
This was 59% below our expectations that were drawn basis the multi-quarter recurring
theme of the management under-guiding and over-delivering on energy margins. 1Q energy
margins (3.7%) were surprisingly below guidance.
1Q earnings provide no reason to change forecasts or stance; we remain cautious
Given the generally in-line operating trends reported for the quarter, our EBITDA forecasts only
see some minor tweaks. Our stance remains the same as well – cautious; so does TP – `285.
Bharti Infratel (BHIN) Telecom
In-line operating trends; we remain cautious. 1QFY19 operating trends were
broadly in line with our forecasts. Deviation in financials versus estimates was on
account of noise in generally noisy energy spread, challenges of exact tenancy exit
timing estimation and change in D&A policy. We tweak our estimates marginally, retain
target price (`285), and remain cautious. Sharp stock price correction (30% in the past
12 months) does mean we are increasingly less negative on the name. REDUCE stays.

1QFY19 operating metrics – quick summary
Consolidated (100% BHIN SA + 42% Indus) metrics as below:
EOP tower base – 91,759, +1% yoy, in line with estimate.
EOP tenants – 200,778, down 4,818 qoq and down 17,623 yoy on a net basis; marginally
below expectations.
Gross exits stood at 5,657 at a consolidated level while gross fresh tenancy adds stood at
839.
Gross tenancy additions at 839 represented multi-quarter lows; the narrative of Jio-led
healthy gross tenancy additions hasn’t shown up for a while now.
Rental/tenant stood at `35,276/month, +1.5% qoq and +0.5% yoy, broadly in line with
our expectations.
Capex for the quarter stood at `5.16 bn while AFFO (adjusted funds from operations)
stood at `13.59 bn.
Key takeaways from the earnings call
On BHIN-Indus merger, management highlighted that the scheme of arrangement has
been approved by CCI and the BSE. The merger proposal will now shortly be filed with
NCLT and the merger is likely to be completed by end-FY2019.
Management believes that bulk of the negative impact on tower companies from wireless
industry consolidation is now behind (except Idea-Vodafone’s impending merger). The
fundamental structure of the Indian telecom industry has emerged as a better and
sustainable one (3 private + 1 government players).
Management did highlight that Jio is working on building its own towers. However, they
remain confident of the favorable economics of tower sharing, which companies like
Infratel/Indus can provide.
Management expects network capex to remain elevated for the telcos given that service
differentiation will be critical due to heightened competition; this should augur well for
passive infra demand. Furthermore, with newer technologies like 5G/IoT requiring
denser/ubiquitous coverage, network investments are bound to see an increase.
On impact of Idea-Vodafone merger on tenancy exits, management refrained from giving
any guidance as they await clarity on their network plans.
On smart city projects, BHIN and Indus have done some initial commissioning in
Bhopal/Vadodara. Post the required approvals from the relevant authorities, BHIN expects
to start capitalizing on this growth opportunity,
Management believes that directionally rentals should be moving up on the back of
loading kicker, MSA unfreeze, regular escalator and rental increase on account of tenancy
exits. Massive MIMO deployment would also mean incremental loading revenues.

Suboxone and tax benefits help DRRD beat estimates
DRRD’s 1QFY18 revenues exceeded our estimates by 2.8%, primarily driven by (1) domestic
formulations, which grew by 30% yoy (2-year CAGR: 8%), exceeding our estimates by 12%,
and (2) RoW, particularly, CIS, which grew by 33% yoy, exceeding our estimates by 20%. The
US at ~US$242 mn qoq grew by US$20 mn qoq, US$7 mn higher than our estimates, largely
led by Suboxone stocking. Nine quarters into the launch of the first two products, proprietary
products continued the disappointing ramp-up trend, with quarterly revenues still struggling at
US$11 mn. Gross margins expanded 220 bps qoq (+100 bps versus KIE), largely attributable to
Suboxone (KIE: US$15 mn), as well as forex benefits. A combination of higher gross margins,
and lower R&D (-5.5% versus KIE), meant that EBITDA exceeded our estimates by 12% with
EBITDA margins expanding to 20.3% (+160 bps versus KIE). Sharply lower tax rate at 9%
meant that the PAT outperformance was higher at 46%. Despite the strong optical
performance, core EPS, when normalized for Suboxone launch and tax rate, remains at
~`18/share. Receivables increased materially by `7.4 bn qoq, reflecting longer cycle in the US,
as well as impact of Suboxone stocking, while capex remained high at `2.3 bn, with FY2019
again likely to see capex of `9-10 bn, in our view.
Erosion on key existing products playing out – pipeline execution key for growth
Adjusting for Suboxone stocking, on our estimates, DRRD’s US sales further declined US$7 mn
qoq, given continued price erosion in key products, particularly, decitabine and Toprol-XL, with
pricing in both expected to continue to deteriorate further in FY2019. New product launches
are critical to offset the erosion, particularly, given our view on the Suboxone litigation (see
Suboxone set-back), where we believe DRRD’s launch is likely to be pushed out to CY2022.
Among other key products, the management expects to file its revised data package for
Copaxone in the next month, though an approval is only likely in 1HFY20 given 8-10 month
review cycle (fourth cycle review and major deficiency). Nuvaring too faces potential delays with
the management guiding to potential 1HCY20 launch. We believe DRRD has filed an NDA for
cyclophosphamide RTU, though we expect an approval only in FY2020, behind ARBP.
Focusing on potential growth though, not the increasing risk profile
DRRD management announced the divestiture of the penicillin facility in the US, while also
talking up the potential for future facility divestitures, though we are perplexed with the
decision to commission an additional injectables facility, given that the Duvvada plant is largely
unutilized. DRRD shares now trade at ~18X FY2020E. REDUCE.
Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRRD) Pharmaceuticals
Suboxone and tax benefits help drive outperformance. DRRD’s 1QFY19 results
exceeded our expectations, helped by a combination of better gross margins (Suboxone
and INR depreciation), lower R&D, and one-off tax benefits. However, core EPS,
normalized for Suboxone and tax rate, stood at ~`18/share, despite lower R&D spend in
the quarter. DRRD remains vulnerable to continued base business erosion in the US,
with continued delays to its key pipeline products. REDUCE.

Strong NII growth; low provisions boost earnings
Shriram Transport Finance (STFC) reported 24% yoy PAT growth to `5.71 bn under Ind-AS.
AUM was up 22% yoy to `1.01 tn; marginal decline in NIM (12 bps yoy to 7.52%) led to 20%
NII growth. While cost-to-income ratio increased 200 bps to 22%, provision growth was low at
4% yoy likely due to better recoveries. GNPL (IGAAP) declined 3% qoq even as seasonally NPLs
tend to go up in 1Q; GNPL ratio inched down to 8.98% from 9.15% in 4QFY18.
STFC reduces extra provisions on balance sheet; standard loan provisions will increase over time
STFC has maintained high (71%) NPL coverage despite its transition to 90 dpd NPL norms in
4QFY18. The company migrated to Ind-AS in 1QFY19 and reduced provision on balance sheet
as prescribed under ECL methodology. Total additions to net worth due to provision release and
other adjustments was `8.78 bn i.e. 7% increase to FY2018 IGAAP book.
STFC’s disclosures on ECL suggest that the stage 1 and 2 provisions were 2.6% of loans in
1QFY19, down from 2.9% in 1QFY18, under a similar methodology; this is significantly higher
than 40 bps of standard asset provisions in the previous regime. Total ECL/AUM was 5.6% in
1QFY19 down from 6.7% in 1QFY18. Thus, total stage 1 and 2 provisions on balance sheet
were 41% of total provisions (stage 1-3); this compares with the ratio of 5% (standard loan
provisions/total provisions) in the previous regime. As such, our provision estimates in FY2020-
21E will be higher by 5-6% to reflect higher stage 1-2 provisions; current year provisions will
remain low as the benefit of improving collections trends leads to further reduction in ECL.
Raise estimates, factor higher book value; ADD
We are raising our estimates by 1-8% to factor moderation in loan growth, higher-than-
expected margins, increase in book value on account of transition impact, increase in balance
sheet loans due to a change in accounting treatment of securitized loans and align provision
estimates to the new regime. We expect the company to deliver 17-18% medium-term. Higher
earnings and increase in book value leads to an increase in our RGM-based TP to `1,550 from
`1,400. We believe that the STFC’s business will be less procyclical over the long term under the
new accounting norm that prescribes higher standard asset provisions as compared to IGAAP.
Shriram Transport (SHTF) NBFCs
Strong growth; lower provisions. Strong (22%) growth in CV loans, steadily
improving collection trends and increase in net worth due to long-awaited reduction in
provisions on balance sheet, along with migration to Ind-AS were the key takeaways
from 1QFY19 results of Shriram Transport Finance. While growth moderates hereon,
reduction in provisions will drive near-term earnings; risk of NIM compression exists
though may be lower than envisaged earlier. Retain ADD with TP of `1,550 (`1,400
earlier).

Exhibit 2 shows that 1QFY19 PAT under Ind-AS was `5.7 bn and IGAAP was `4.6 bn. There
was a net reduction of credit costs under Ind-AS of `499 mn when compared to IGAAP.
Additionally, there were releases of `171 mn on investments. Amortization of income
(upfront fee income, dealer commissions, upfront fees on borrowings etc) and expenses led
to a hit of `346 mn, partially offsetting the benefits.

Large provision release under Ind-AS
Exhibit 3 shows that outstanding provisions under Ind-AS (stage 1, 2 and 3) were `56 bn or
5.6% of AUMs (down from 6.7% in FY2019). The provisions on stage 1 and 2 were at
2.6%, down from 2.9% in 1QFY19. Corresponding provisions under IGAAP would be `69.2
bn including NPL/Standard loan provisions of `56.3 bn, provisions on securitized loans of
`7.1 bn and interest reversals of `5.7 bn. The change in norm would lead to release in
provision of `12.6 bn.

Strong AUM growth at 22% yoy in 1QFY19; disbursements up 24% yoy
Disbursements up 24% yoy. STFC reported 24% yoy increase in disbursements to `134
bn in 1QFY19 driven by growth in new CV business on the back of strong vehicle sales.
Significant tailwinds in business. The primary drivers were increased efficiencies for the
CV business post implementation of GST as vehicles are able to cover larger distances due
to the removal of border check posts. Additionally, banning of overloading in select states
has also driven business. Demand has been particularly strong in the infrastructure space
as construction activity across the country picks up.
Rural penetration on the rise. STFC continues to grow its rural presence with share of
branches increasing to ~50% in 1QFY19 from 42% in 1QFY18. The proportionate share
of AUM for rural has remained stable at 33%. Though the average AUM per branch
remains lower in these areas (almost half that of urban areas), greater pricing power,
latent demand, pick-up in rural sentiment (expectation of a favorable monsoon) and
lower competition provide major stimulus for increasing penetration. STFC has guided for
focusing on expansion in the northern and eastern parts of India.
Business loan to supplement CV growth. Business loans comprise LAP cross-sell for its
customers that have diversified into segments like warehouses, petrol pumps etc. This
business started as a pilot about three years back and scaled up over the last year. Ticket
size is ~`2 mn though there are some high ticket loans in the range of `40-50 mn. This
book has shown a 150% yoy growth (on a low base) and stands at ~30bn in 1QFY19.
Healthy AUM growth at 22% yoy in 1QFY19. Overall AUM growth improved to 22%
yoy in 1QFY19 accelerating from 21% in 4QFY18 and 18% in 3QFY18. Segmental AUM
mix has broadly remained stable with M&LCVs and HCVs comprising 67%, passenger
vehicles at 24% and tractors at 4%.
We forecast 18% AUM CAGR in FY2018-21E. We are building in 18% AUM CAGR in
FY2018-21E. We expect STFC’s growth to be an interplay of (1) growth in demand for
HCVs owing to increased investment by government in infrastructure activities, (2)
favorable monsoon supporting rural sentiments, (3) pick up in e-commerce activity. There
will be marginal drag in loan growth owing to reduced demand for new vehicles on the
back of new axle load norms leading to a drop in growth estimates. Management has
indicated a marginal drop in demand for new vehicles in the near term though the
demand for old vehicles, which is core to the business, will remain unaffected.

NIM compression in the horizon
Improvement in margins in FY2018. STFC’s calculated NIM dropped 12 bps qoq to
7.5% in 1QFY19 driven by a drop in yields. The drop in yields is on the back of increasing
share of low-yielding new vehicle mix in the overall portfolio. There was additional
pressure from the cost of borrowings (calculated) which increased 50 bps yoy.
Margin compression in medium term. We expect NIM (calculated as NII/AUM) to
decline ~60 bps to 7.2% in FY2021E from 7.7% in FY2018, driven by mix shift towards
newer vehicles and non-CV vehicles where the company is likely to face stiff competition
from banks, SFBs and other aggressive NBFCs; rural penetration can provide some
comfort on yields. Market sources suggest that CV and auto loan rates have moved up,
responding to the rise in bond yields. This reduces downside risk to our NIM estimates.
FY2019E yields may be distorted. Adding back of loans sold to banks/securitized loans
(as prescribed by Ind-AS) leads to higher loan book in FY2019E but distorts the asset yield
ratio for the year; NIM ratio remains unchanged.
Cost pressure looms in medium-term due to continuous rapid expansion
Operating expenses increased 30% yoy in 1QFY19, driven by increase in staff cost at 37%
yoy as net employee additions remained high. The company had net addition of 268
branches and 20% yoy growth in staff base. Additionally, high promotional and
advertisement expenses have led the spike in operating expenses. Cost to average AUM
increased ~10 bps yoy to 1.8%.
We estimate cost-to-income ratio to remain high at ~25% in FY2019E and moderate slightly
to 24% by FY2021E driven by 19% CAGR in operating expenses during FY2019-21E. The
company added 295 branches in FY2018 and plans to add another 200 branches in
FY2019E. We forecast operating expenses to grow at 19% CAGR over FY2019-21E on the
back of 23% CAGR in employee expenses during the same period. Continuous investment
in rapid expansion in branches (focusing towards greater penetration in rural areas),
employees and field staff clearly reflect that operating expenses will remain high in medium-
term. Once these branches improve productivity going ahead, cost ratios are expected to
soften.

1QFY19—modest volume growth; tight leash on cost drives EBITDA outperformance
CLGT reported 7% yoy growth in revenues to `10.34 bn, 1% below our estimate; 2-year CAGR
stood at 1%. Volume growth at 4% was in line with our expectations but weak in view of a
low base (-5%). Price/mix contribution was 100 bps short of our expectation. GM expanded
255 bps yoy to 65.9% (KIE: 65.8%). EBITDA of `2.82 bn, +27% yoy, was 8% ahead of our
expectations on account of lower-than-expected ad spends (flat yoy), staff costs (up only 3%
yoy), and other expenses (up only 2% yoy). Even after factoring GST-led savings in input costs,
increase in costs was fairly muted. EBITDA margin expanded a sharp 436 bps yoy to 27%, 241
bps ahead of our estimate. Recurring PAT grew 30% yoy to `1.67 bn, 10% ahead of
expectation. Recurring EPS stood at `6.1/share.
Turnaround calls for some aggression, a sense of urgency and perhaps a change in mindset
Per Nielsen data, CLGT’s market share declined 100 bps sequentially to 52.4% in June 2018
quarter. While this does not perturb us (Nielsen trends catching up with reality with lag, in our
view), we are a tad disappointed with the progress CLGT is making in its journey of market
share defense and recovery. That Patanjali is either losing steam or just about holding fort is a
positive. Dabur and HUVR are witnessing pickup in oral care portfolio. We believe CLGT has all
ingredients (strong brand equity and distribution) to bounce back. A sense of urgency,
willingness to experiment (more nimble and agile product development) and aggression can go
a long way in market share recovery. To start with, we believe the company needs to stop
calling 4% volume growth on (-)5% base ‘solid’! It is not.
At attractive valuations relative to the sector, CLGT is a decent bet even though it may take time
We tweak our forecasts—reduce topline, raise margins and largely maintain estimates. At 34X
FY2020E, CLGT is among the most inexpensive stocks in our consumer coverage. We do believe
the company would need to show improved volume trajectory for the relatively inexpensive
valuations to become a trigger for stock performance. Even as the current visibility on market
share recovery is poor, we remain believers. Retain ADD with a revised DCF-based fair value
target of `1,250/share (`1,300 earlier).
Colgate-Palmolive (India) (CLGT) Consumer Products
Not out of the woods yet. CLGT reported modest 4% volume growth on a weak
base (-5%). Even as Patanjali is not gaining incremental market share anymore, CLGT is
not wresting back any of the lost share. Earnings came ahead of expectations led by
tight leash on costs including A&SP spends; we would rather prefer CLGT sacrifice
margins for market share recovery. For a company with stellar brand equity, CLGT’s
response to competition has been uninspiring. Strong brand equity and inexpensive
valuations (relative) underpin our positive stance. TP revised to `1,250 (from `1,300).

Coal continues to drive consolidated earnings, sequential drop in losses at Mundra
Tata Power’s consolidated earnings were aided by contribution from coal companies at Rs2.8
bn (-12% yoy) offset by losses of Rs4.3 bn at Mundra (Rs4.8 bn in 4QFY18) that were
sequentially lower on account of lagged indexation of tariffs. Lower other income and a rise in
interest cost (Rs1 bn of MTM losses) as well as lower-than-estimated improvement in coal
earnings led to the miss against estimates for consolidated earnings. Reported profits of Rs16.7
bn include profit of Rs19 bn (Rs15 bn on post-tax basis) from the sale of ownership in Tata
Communications and Panatone Finvest for a consideration of Rs21.5 bn.
Earnings for the quarter would have been better, but for the introduction of a new law in
Indonesia, which requires a 25% domestic sales commitment at capped coal prices.
Management estimates the impact of such a law at US$20 mn (Rs0.5/share) for the current
fiscal, though we highlight that DMO partially curtails the upside from coal prices as part of the
volumes are to be sold at capped prices.
Standalone earnings largely stable, lower unit sales impacted earnings
Tata Power reported standalone revenues of Rs18.4 bn (KIE Rs19.5 bn) and PAT of Rs2.3 bn
(KIE Rs2 bn). Revenue miss was offset by lower fuel cost, as generation for the standalone
business dropped 8% yoy to 3 BU (KIE 3.3 BU). Lower ETR at 13% offset led to the beat at PAT
level. Reported profits of Rs11.3 bn includes profits of Rs12 bn from the sale of telecom assets,
offset by Rs2.8 bn of taxes against the same.
Monetization of non-core investments, coal earnings help offset losses at Mundra
Monetization of non-core investments could yield as much as Rs28/share in cash, while the rise
in prices of imported coal, currently at US$102/ton is well above our sustainable coal price
assumption of US$80/ton and closer to the DMO committed price. While our current coal price
assumption at US$80/ton partly factors the impact of the new DMO, we do concede near-term
weakness on the stock as the potential upside from rising prices of coal is partially capped.
Earnings revision of 4.7 % in FY2019 and 3% in FY2020 is driven by capacity addition of 100
MW in the renewable portfolio. Maintain BUY rating with unchanged price target of
Rs90/share.
Tata Power (TPWR) Utilities
Coal earnings clipped by DMO. Rising prices of imported coal continued to aid Tata
Power’s consolidated earnings, although the domestic market obligation took some
sheen off earnings. Lagged indexation of tariffs helped to sequentially bring down
losses at Mundra to Rs4.3 bn (Rs4.8 bn in 4QFY18). Stable earnings from the regulated
business, coupled with improving contribution from coal and monetization of non-core
investments lead to our positive stance on Tata Power. BUY with PT of Rs90/share.

Exhibit 1: Higher contribution from coal was offset by losses at Mundra Interim results for Tata Power (consolidated) , March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Mundra UMPP—rising cost though six-monthly indexation of tariffs help
Mundra UMPP saw 12% yoy increase in the cost of production at Rs2.5/kwh (+9% qoq) due
to rising cost of imported coal. Fuel cost would have been higher but for discounts available
on spot-shipments. Revenues for the quarter were higher due to (1) higher plant availability
of 68% leading to an 11% yoy increase in generation to 5,908 MUs (2) change in
accounting standard to INDAS-115 and, (3) recognition of Rs700 mn on account of
differential capacity. Higher interest cost (+63% yoy) due to MTM losses of Rs980 mn on
account of currency depreciation and forex loss of Rs450 mn in 1QFY19 resulted in net loss
of Rs4.32 bn in 1QFY19 (Rs4.9 bn in 4QFY18 and Rs4.3 bn in 1QFY18).
Maithon—stable operational performance
Maithon reported revenues of Rs6.46 bn, an increase of 4% yoy due to 4% yoy increase in
realizations to Rs3.5/unit (Rs3.4/unit in 1QFY18) though sales for the quarter remained flat
at 1,842 MU. Increase in fuel cost led to an increase in the cost of production to Rs2.5/unit
(Rs2.2/unit in 1QFY18) resulting in a decline in EBITDA to Rs1.85 bn (-11% yoy). Interest
costs were lower at Rs480 mn due to refinancing of debt (Rs520 mn in 1QFY18). Regulated
equity for Maithon plant stands at Rs13.9 bn as of 1QFY19.
Coal—improved earnings, though DMO obligation curtails upside
Coal business was impacted by Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) regulation wherein 25%
of the output is reserved for domestic consumption (applicable till CY2019). This resulted in
contribution from the coal business declining to Rs2.46 bn in 1QFY19 compared to Rs3 bn
in 4QFY18. Besides this, the increase in production cost due to higher O&M and fuel prices
resulted in EBITDA declining 6% yoy to Rs6 bn (Rs6.4 bn in 1QFY18). Gross profit margins
declined 13% yoy to US$20/ton, though management highlighted higher cost of production
during the quarter at US$36/ton (US$33/ton in 1QFY18) that will likely moderate in
subsequent quarters.
Renewable—capacity addition continues to aid earnings improvement
TPREL added capacity of 301 MW in FY2018 taking its total renewable portfolio to 724 MW
from 423 MW. Subsequently, contribution increased to Rs 710 mn in 1QFY19 from 56 mn
in 1QFY18. Capacities at Walwhan reported net income of Rs1 bn (Rs 600 mn in 1QFY18).
The shareholders of TPWR have approved the transfer of 500 MW to Tata Power Renewable
Energy Ltd, and is awaiting necessary regulatory approvals.

19% revenue growth from a low base with highest-ever EBITDA margins at 27.6%
Bayer reported 19% yoy growth in revenues to `8.3 bn in 1QFY19 from a low base, which was
impacted due to pre-GST channel destocking; 2-year CAGR remained modest at 1%. The
company indicated two-thirds of the revenue increase to growth in volumes and one-third to
pricing escalations. The management attributed strength in the domestic business to strong
channel demand in anticipation of a good monsoon and higher MSP for Kharif crops. EBITDA
doubled yoy to `2.3 bn, sharply ahead of our estimates, driven by surprising ~10% sequential
jump in gross margins to 52.6% despite rising input costs for the industry. Net income
increased modestly by 32% yoy to `1.5 bn (EPS of `42.9), partly offset by higher tax rate.
Near-term challenges to margins, even as revenue growth contingent on monsoon
The management expects challenges to remain in FY2019 due to (1) increasing raw material
cost for the industry, (2) limited ability to pass on further price increases in a competitive
environment, (3) high base of 2QFY19 and (4) delayed distribution of monsoon season so far.
We believe the weakness may get exacerbated for Bayer due to plausible down-trading by
farmers from premium products amid industry-wide price escalations. The company remains on
track to launch 9-10 new products during FY2019.
Raise estimates by 3-5%; retain REDUCE with revised TP of `4,100
We raise FY2020-21 EPS estimates for Bayer by ~3-5% to `130 and `154, respectively,
factoring in (1) modestly higher margins versus our earlier assumptions, (2) a slower growth in
revenues and (3) other minor changes; our FY2019 EPS remains unchanged at `106. We retain
REDUCE rating with a revised DCF-based TP of `4,100 (`4,000 earlier). Even as we believe in
Bayer’s ability to leverage its parent’s portfolio in launching new products in India, the
disappointing performance over the past few years raises concerns on (1) rising competition
from local players, who are making inroads with expansion of distribution network and (2) likely
down-trading by farmers to increasingly accessible low-cost products.
Bayer Cropscience (BYRCS) Others
Strong start; expensive valuations. Bayer started FY2019 on a strong note, with
revenues growing 19% yoy albeit from a low base and gross margins improving nearly
10% sequentially—a bit surprising amid rising input costs for the industry. We raise
FY2020-21 EPS estimates by 3-5% and DCF-based TP to `4,100 from `4,000, primarily
on roll-forward. We retain REDUCE rating noting expensive valuations at 34X FY2020E
EPS, which is adequately pricing in potential long-term growth.

Revenue growth 5% below estimates leading to miss in EBITDA/net profit
Crompton reported 1QFY19 net profit of `1.04 bn (+30% yoy), which was 7% below our
estimates due to lower-than-expected revenue growth and lower other income. Reported
revenues grew by 14.1% yoy (KIE: 19% yoy); revenue growth was driven partly by low base
of last year (revenues down 4% yoy in 1QFY18). Adjusted for accounting changes post GST,
2-year revenue CAGR was only around 8%. We note that Havells reported much stronger
performance with 14% two-year revenue CAGR for the ex-Lloyd business in 1QFY19.
In terms of segments, adjusted revenues grew by (1) 23% yoy in electric consumer durable
segment (2-year CAGR of only 6%) led by strong growth in both fans (aided by market share
gains) and pumps segments and (2) 9% yoy in lighting segment (2-year CAGR of 6%). Lower
growth in lighting segment was due to steep decline in non-LED segment revenues (down
30% yoy) and negligible EESL revenues in 1QFY19; ex-EESL revenues grew by 15-16% yoy.
EBITDA margin came in at 13.9% (+160 bps yoy and down 60 bps qoq), which was in line
with our estimates. In terms of segments, EBIT margin in lighting segment was weak at 6.7%
(+150 bps yoy but down 440 bps qoq) due to pricing pressures in non-LED segment while
EBIT margin in ECD segment was strong at 19.5% (+150 bps yoy but down 220 bps qoq).
A&P spend was `240 mn; the company expects A&P spend to be flat yoy in FY2019 at `1
bn, which is surprising given double-digit revenue growth target and entry into newer
segments.
Fine-tune earnings estimates; maintain SELL on expensive valuations
We have cut our FY2019-21E EPS estimates by around 1%. We expect the company to deliver
13% revenue CAGR over FY2018-21E, which will be driven by (1) 11% CAGR in existing
categories driven by high single-digit industry growth and market share gains for the company
led by continued strong growth in premium fans and LED segments and (2) 2% additional
CAGR due to entry into new segments (air coolers and water heaters), which implies `3 bn of
additional revenues from new areas by FY2021E (implies 5% increase in market share in target
segments). Maintain SELL; DCF-based TP revised to `215 (from `210) due to rollover to June
2019E.
Crompton Greaves Consumer (CROMPTON) Industrials
Revenue growth below estimates. Crompton’s 1QFY19 EBITDA/PAT was 4%/7%
below our estimates due to (1) lower-than-expected revenue growth and (2) lower
other income. Two-year revenue/EBITDA CAGR of 8%/3% in 1QFY19 was disappointing
and much below that of Havells. Slower industry growth in key segments (fans and
pumps), competitive pressures in pumps segment and weakness in appliances segment
are key reasons for the company’s underperformance compared to Havells, in our view.

Key takeaways from conference call
We note that yoy reported revenue growth numbers are not strictly comparable as
1QFY18 numbers are inclusive of excise duty on traded goods in both revenue and RM
cost while for the current quarter, the company has reported revenues and RM cost net
of GST on traded goods (reported EBITDA is comparable on yoy basis though). Adjusted
for accounting changes post GST, the company’s revenues increased by 19.5% yoy in
1QFY19 (due to low base of last year); two-year revenue CAGR, however, was only 8%.
The company continues to work towards implementing its ‘Go To Market’ strategy (GTM)
across different segments and geographies. As per the management, this will strengthen
the company’s quality, coverage and technology backbone of the distribution network,
which augurs well from medium-term perspective although there would be some
negative impact on revenue growth in the near term. The company believes that around
75-80% of its businesses will be covered over the next 12-18 months.
In the ECD segment, revenue growth was driven by strong performance in both fans
(aided by market share gains) and pumps segments. Within fans category, post successful
launch of anti-dust fans, the company’s newly launched Air 360 fans have received
positive initial response from customers; these new fans are driving 10-11% of the
company’s category growth. Crompton continues to expand its presence in premium fans
category (priced above `2,200), which now accounts for 20% of segment revenues.
Volumes in the pumps segment grew by 30% yoy in 1QFY19; however, revenue growth
was possibly much lower as growth is coming from lower-end segment (Crest mini
brand).
Revenues from air coolers grew by 22% in 1QFY19 (on extremely low base) despite
adverse industry conditions. We note that the company had launched a new cooler on
pilot basis last quarter, which offers 60% more cooling than the leading player in the
market. It plans to launch the products on pan-India basis in the next season. The
management highlighted that it is ready with its innovative range of water heaters, which
will be launched in winter season this year. To recall, Crompton has identified water
heaters and coolers as the key focus areas to drive higher growth over the coming years.
The company is targeting to be a top three player in these segments over the medium
term. We assume `3 bn of additional revenues from these new segments by FY2021E.
In the lighting segment, LED revenues for the company grew by around 40% yoy; LEDs
now represent 78% of segmental revenues compared to less than 60% in 1QFY18.
However, strong growth in LED portfolio was offset by (1) steep 30% revenue decline in
non-LED segment due to lower demand and price erosion and (2) negligible EESL revenues
this quarter (`400 mn in 4QFY18); we note that EESL revenues tends to be lumpy and
depends on government orders. Even for Havells, EESL revenues were only `10 mn in
1QFY19 (`545 mn in 1QFY18). Margins in the lighting segment were impacted by share
pricing erosion and volume decline in non-LED segment; as per the management, gross
margin in LED portfolio was higher on yoy basis.

Weaker mix and higher commodity prices impact 2QCY18 results
Schaeffler India reported 2QCY18 EBITDA of `850 mn (down 1% yoy), which was 18%
below our estimates on lower-than-expected profitability. Revenues increased by 12% yoy
(4% below estimates), which reflects (1) double-digit growth in domestic auto OEM
segment,
(2) strong pickup in industrial aftermarket segments and (3) steady growth in industrial
segments (excluding wind energy). Revenues of unlisted group entities (INA Bearings and LuK
India), increased by 16.6% yoy in 2QCY18 aided by (1) strong growth in commercial vehicle
and tractor segments and (2) recovery in aftermarket.
EBITDA margin came in at 16.5% (down 230 bps yoy and 120 bps qoq), which was 270 bps
below our estimates. Gross margin declined by 360 bps yoy due to (1) a weaker product mix
(higher traded goods and lower exports) and (2) timing difference between commodity costs
and price increases. The company reported PAT of `613 mn (+14% yoy), which was 12%
below our estimates. Full benefit of price increases in aftermarket segment and price
negotiations with OEMs should help profitability going ahead. Traded mix will come down
significantly in CY2019-20E with the commissioning of new facilities from end-CY2018.
Strong long-term growth prospects, particularly post-merger of unlisted entities
Schaeffler remains a play on (1) strong long-term growth prospects in domestic automotive
industry, (2) increase in content per vehicle due to the government’s focus on safety and
stringent emission norms and (3) shift towards automatic transmission in the domestic PV
industry. Profitability over the medium term will be underpinned by the company’s focus on
(1) higher localization (capex of EUR80 mn over the next two years) and (2) introduction of new
value-added products. On our calculations, the merger would be 6% EPS accretive by CY2020E
due to (1) cost synergy benefits and (2) potential improvement in EBITDA margin of INA and
LuK India led by increase in localization and operating leverage benefits (refer to Exhibit 10).
Lower CY2018-20E EPS estimates by 4-9%; maintain BUY with unchanged TP of `6,000
We lower our CY2018E EPS estimates by 9% as we build in the impact of higher traded mix on
the company’s profitability. We cut our CY2019-20E EPS estimates by ~4%. Maintain BUY with
unchanged TP of `6,000, which is based on 27.5X June 2020E EPS (from March 2020E earlier).
Schaeffler India (SCHFL) Automobiles
Look beyond the quarter. Schaeffler India reported weak 2QCY18 results with 1%
yoy decline in EBITDA even though revenues grew by 12% yoy. Profitability was
negatively impacted by (1) a weaker product mix (higher traded goods and lower
exports) largely due to capacity constraint and (2) timing difference between commodity
costs and price increases. We expect profitability to normalize over the next few quarters
led by (1) full benefit of price increases and (2) commissioning of new facilities. Long-
term growth outlook remains strong; maintain BUY with unchanged TP of `6,000.

Understanding reasons for yoy decline in gross margin
Gross declined by 360 bps yoy in 2QCY19 and was around 200 bps below our estimates
leading to miss at EBITDA level. Key reasons for weakness in EBITDA margin were:
Steep increase in traded revenues and decline in exports leading to weaker mix.
Revenues increased by 12% yoy in 2QCY18, which was driven by (1) 4% yoy growth in
domestic manufacturing revenues, (2) 46% yoy growth in traded goods led largely by
capacity constraint in India in certain segments and also recovery in industrial segments
and (3) 17% yoy decline in exports (partly due to capacity constraint). Consequently,
traded revenue mix increased to 37.4% in 2QCY18 as compared to 28.8% in 2QCY17,
while export mix declined to 12.7% from 17.2% in 2QCY18 (refer to Exhibit 2 for
details). We note that gross margin in traded goods is significantly lower than that of
manufactured goods (refer to Exhibit 3 for details); as per our calculations, this would
have impacted gross margin by around 200 bps in 2QCY18. Further, exports are higher-
margin business for the company as it largely caters to the distribution segment in the
overseas markets. The company is incurring capex of around EUR80 mn (for the pro
forma entity; possibly EUR40 mn for the currently listed entity) over the next two years
starting end-CY2018, this should help increase localization and exports.
Timing difference between commodity costs and price increases. RM costs for the
company have increased significantly led by steep increase in commodity costs (domestic
steel prices are up by more than 20%), while price increases come with a lag. We note
that the company increased its prices in the aftermarket by around 4% in May 2018,
which will have full benefit and aid margins in 3QCY18. With regards to the OEMs, the
company has got some price increases this quarter and is under negotiation for further
price hikes, which should come through over the next two quarters.
Strong performance of unlisted subsidiaries in 2QCY18
Revenues for the unlisted entities (INA Bearings and LuK India) increased by 16.6% yoy in
2QCY18 (17.6% in 1HCY18) – (1) Luk reported 29% yoy revenue growth aided by strong
growth in CV and tractor segments and possibly strong recovery in aftermarket segment
(2) INA’s revenues increased by 8.7% yoy, which was largely in line with production
growth in domestic passenger vehicle industry with a one-month lag (accounts for 60%
of company’s revenues). As per the management, the company is operating at almost full
utilization; commissioning of new capacity and higher content post implementation of
BS-VI norms should drive strong growth over the medium term.
EBITDA margin in LuK India improved to 18.5% in 2QCY18 (18% in 1HCY18) as
compared to 17.2% in CY2017 due to operating leverage benefits. While for INA,
EBITDA margin was largely steady at 13.8% in 2QCY18; higher import content and rupee
depreciation have an adverse impact on the company’s profitability. We expect
profitability to improve significantly over the next two years led by (1) increase in
localization with commissioning of new plants and (2) increase in share of value-added
products. We note that Schaeffler’s content per passenger vehicle is EUR33-34 in India
compared to EUR90-100 levels in Europe. Major OEMs will need to upgrade powertrains
for BS-VI norms, which is an opportunity for Schaeffler India.

Lower margins in India and Australia security businesses lead to earnings miss
SIS’ 1QFY19 EBITDA of `745 mn came in 19% below estimates. The India security segment
EBITDA of `275 mn declined 28% qoq and was 32% below our estimates. Further, while the
revenue growth in the Australia business was ahead of estimates, timing difference between
minimum wage hikes in Australia and reworking of contracts with clients led to a 12% EBITDA
miss from this segment too.
India security: loss of contracts and provisioning impact EBITDA
India security business reported weak operating metrics: revenues were flat sequentially while
guard count declined 1% qoq (versus our estimates of growth). Further, EBITDA declined 28%
qoq on account of: (1) low value contracts given up in March 2018, which still had costs
associated to them in 1QFY19 of `35 mn, and (2) provisions for bad debts of `35 mn made for
receivables from companies under NCLT process. Adjusted for these items, EBITDA was still
lower than expected due to lower revenues. Management indicated that write-offs in
subsequent quarters will ease, and growth pipeline for the business is fairly strong.
Other businesses: Australia also disappoints, but facilities management healthy
Australia business reported healthy yoy revenue growth of 42%, which comprised 17% organic
growth and the remainder from SXP acquisition. Margins of this segment also, however,
disappointed due to minimum wage hike. This should normalize in 2HFY19 as wage hike gets
passed on to clients. Indian FM business is on a strong footing with healthy 30% yoy revenue
growth and 119% EBITDA growth driven by strong operating leverage.
Higher provisioning drives EPS cuts; retain REDUCE with TP of `1,130
We acknowledge the higher risk profile of security business as demonstrated by higher
provisioning taken in 1QFY19. We revise our EBITDA estimates of the Indian guarding segment
by 6-9%, and also revise down Australian business EBITDA by 3%, resulting in overall EBITDA
cut of 3-5%. EPS cut is higher as we build in higher working capital requirements, resulting in
higher interest outgo. As a result of these changes, SoTP-based TP moves to `1,130 from
`1,250. REDUCE stays.
SIS (SECIS) Others
Security business margins disappoint. SIS reported a weak quarter on account of
higher provisioning in the India security business and lower margins in the Australia
business. FM business continues to ramp up well on account of scale-led operating
leverage. Higher provisioning expense going forward and lower Australia business
margins drive a 5-7% cut in EPS. We like SIS’ exposure to large unorganized segments
in India, but would await a better entry point in the stock. REDUCE stays with a revised
SoTP-based TP of `1,130 (`1,250 earlier).

Key takeaways from earnings call
Security business. Total guard count declined by 1% sequentially as SIS gave up certain
low-margin contracts starting March 2019. The costs for some of these contracts,
however, continued into 1QFY19 also, and impacted reported EBITDA by `35 mn. SIS
evaluates contracts dynamically, and a call was taken to provision for receivables from
NCLT clients (another `35 mn). This provisioning was not on account of any one specific
client. SIS booked new orders worth `170 mn monthly revenue in 1QFY19, and expects
revenue growth to revive in future quarters.
Facilities management. SIS seeks to actively target B2G contracts, with railways seeking
to come up with large sized contracts, which SIS would bid for. Margin increase was
largely on account of scale benefits. Growth and not margin maximization will be the
company’s strategy in this segment.
Australia business. Australia business organic growth of 17% was very strong, and was
on account of certain clients recommencing operations and new contracts won.
MSS+SXP integration is proceeding well, and SIS is now in a position to offer integrated
contracts to clients. Margins should revive to ~5% levels by 2HFY19 as wage alignment
would be complete by then.
Cash logistics. SIS believes that given higher costs of doing business, consolidation is
imminent. While this will happen only over the next 1-2 years, this will be a key driver of
longer term profitability in the segment.

The revenue growth of facility management and others’ business earlier included revenues
from cash management also; with cash management business now accounted for as an

Marginal profit, strong loan growth and improvement in impairment ratios
J&K Bank reported a marginal profit on the back of 50% decline in provisions. Revenues grew
11% yoy while operating expenses grew 24% yoy. NII grew 9% yoy on the back of 23% yoy
loan growth. Cost-income ratio was high at 62% yoy. Gross NPLs declined 20 bps qoq to 9.8%
of loans, the first time it has declined <10% since 2QFY17. Provision coverage ratio was stable
at 67%. Slippages were high at 5% of loans with ~60% of it coming from restructured loans
and nearly all of it from outside the state restructured loan portfolio. Restructured loans
declined 130 bps to 7% of loans with nearly all these coming from with J&K state. Total
stressed loans which include all dispensation formats declined 150 bps qoq to 7.5% of loans.
Decline in restructured loans to remain a key trigger for rerating
A few key concerns from the results: (1) Tier-1 ratio is at 10.5% with CET-1 at ~9% and the
bank has been grown its loans by ~20% when RoEs are ~0%. Dilution risk is quite high
considering that the bank is trading at a steep discount to reported book value. (2) Cost-income
ratio at 62% and operating expenses growth at ~25% yoy is hurting return ratios. (3)
Restructured loans at 7% of loans are entirely within J&K state being affected by floods and
unrest. Movement of this portfolio would be a key trigger for rerating as there is a fear that this
portfolio would slip into NPLs over the next few quarters.
Maintain BUY; concerns gradually easing which should help valuation expansion
We maintain BUY rating with a marginal change in TP to `100 (from `110 earlier) valuing the
bank at 1.1X adjusted book and 9X FY2020 EPS for RoEs at 7-9% and healthy earnings growth
of a low base. Apart from inexpensive valuation, we believe that the stressed loan formation
would significantly decline from 2QFY19 onwards. Given the pace of movement of restructured
loans within J&K, we believe that the residual risk in the loans in J&K state is likely to decline
which should address one of the key concerns on the stock. As these events unfold over the
next few quarters, we expect valuation multiples to expand for the bank.
J&K Bank (JKBK) Banks
Restructured loans in J&K stable. J&K Bank reported a marginal profit on the back of
~50% yoy decline in provisions. Gross NPLs declined 20bps qoq to <10% for the first
time since 2QFY17. Restructured loans declined 130 bps qoq to 7% of loans as the
portfolio outside J&K slipped while the portfolio within J&K was flat qoq. Loan growth
was strong at 23% and Tier-1 ratio at 10.5% is comfortable today. However, any
acceleration can lead to a capital dilution risk. Valuations are comfortable and hence we
maintain BUY with TP at `100 (from `105 earlier).

Gross NPLs declined 20 bps qoq; slippages still high at ~5% of loans
GNPL ratio dropped 20 bps qoq to 9.8% of loans even when slippages were high at 5%
because of increased slippages from the restructured loan portfolio. The rise in slippages was
on the back of higher slippages from the restructured loan portfolio. Restructured loans
dropped 130 bps qoq to 7% of loans with nearly all of these loans coming from within the
state of J&K. There have been some more disbursements to the restructured loan portfolio
which could be due to drawdown of existing unutilized credit lines of customers. The
portfolio within the state has seen steady repayment and limited stress so far giving comfort
that the risk is probably not as bad as it was initially perceived given the performance of
restructured loans in general for the sector.
One of the key positives of the bank is the high coverage ratio it maintains. Reported PCR
(incl. write-offs) stood at ~67%, highest among peers.
Outstanding SDR, S4A and 5/25 dispensations dropped 20 bps qoq to 0.6% (S4A and 5/25
was flat qoq) and including the restructured loans, this is at 7.5% of loans. We forecast
GNPL to drop to 6% of loans by FY2021E driven by a sharp drop in slippages going forward
(2.6% in FY2019E and 1.5% in FY2020E).

We forecast 15% CAGR in net advances from FY2018-2021E as the management remains
positive on growth in advances within the state.

Reported NIM expand 50 bps qoq to 3.7%
Reported NIM expanded 50 bps qoq to 3.7% on the back of sharp improvement in lending
yields. Reported yield on loans increased 70 bps qoq to 8.5% on the back of lower interest
reversals. There was no relief from the cost of deposits which increased 8 bps qoq to 4.8%.
We expect lending yields to remain under pressure in the medium term due to a change in
the loan mix to lower yielding retail products. J&K Bank however maintains a strong CD ratio
which provides some comfort to the NIM profile. Growth in CASA and a drop GNPL will
provide slight comfort to NIM. We forecast NIM (calculated) to drop ~10 bps to 3.5% in
FY2019E.
CASA ratio stable qoq to 51%
CASA increased 8% yoy and the ratio was stable qoq at 51%. CASA ratio within J&K was
strong at ~55%. The growth in CASA was led by a sharp rise in CA deposits at 31% yoy
and a modest rise in SA at 5% yoy. Overall deposit growth stood at 8% yoy. Growth in SA
within J&K was modest at 5% yoy in (stable qoq). The growth in SA within the home state
remains a sign of concern for the bank. The bank can focus on low cost deposits as it has a
fairly liquid balance sheet. We forecast a modest 12% CAGR in CASA from FY2018-2021E
stable CASA ratio of ~50% over the same period.

Marginally lower realizations and lower other income lead to earnings miss
CESC reported steady operational performance with net income of `1.8 bn (KIE `2.1 bn)
missing estimates on account of weaker realizations and drop in other income (58% qoq).
Unit sales remained flat at 2,840 MU. Realization improved 6.5% yoy to ` 7.43/unit though
were lower than our estimate of `7.6/kwh. We note that the tariff petition for FY2019 has
been submitted although approval of revised tariffs may still be a few months away. We note
the continued dependence on purchased power, with 45% of the purchase power (1,110 MU)
coming from Haldia out of the 1,608 MU of power purchased.
Strong generation at new projects; Spencer reports improved margins
Power generation at Haldia was up 7.8% yoy to 1,110 MUs with the plant operating at PLF of
92.5% in 1QFY19 (85.4% in 1QFY18). Improvement in generation was largely on the back of
rising demand from standalone business. Additionally, the company signed PPA of 185 MW for
its Chandrapur plant in March 2018 resulting in improved generation (967 MU in 1QFY19
compared to 650 MUs in 1QFY18). Chandrapur currently has PPAs for sale of 472 MW of
power, out of a total capacity of 600 MW. On the retail front, Spencer reported improved
metrics with same-stores sales and EBITDA of `1,629/sq. ft per month (+3.6% yoy) and
`102/sq. ft per month. We note improving same-store sales as well as new expansions for the
retail business. Losses at Spencer were down to `300 mn in FY2018 (`1 bn in FY2017).
Restructuring on course, improving retail metrics will further aid re-rating
Restructuring of CESC into individual business entities will likely result in re-rating of valuation
multiples, as cash flows from the power business will not be utilized in non-related business
interest of the promoter group. CESC has already secured shareholder approval for the
proposed restructuring in December 2017, as well as clearance from NCLT. The company is
now awaiting regulatory clearance from WBERC for separating the generation and distribution
arms of the standalone business into separate legal entities. We maintain our target price of
`1,180/share and revise our rating to BUY (from ADD). Revision in earnings for FY2018
(+12.8%) and FY2019 (+9%) is on account of lower retail losses and improved utilization at
Chandrapur.
CESC (CESC) Utilities
Reducing losses at Chandrapur and Spencer prompt upgrade. CESC continues to
report stable performance from extant operations in Kolkata as well as Haldia, even as
improving PLFs at Chandrapur will likely help improve consolidated earnings in
FY2019E. Spencer Retail turned PAT-positive in FY2018 itself and the company will
likely report a better performance on the back of improving operational metrics. We
upgrade CESC to BUY (from ADD) with an unchanged target price of `1,180/share
noting inexpensive valuations and improving earnings trajectory.

Hindalco acquires Aleris for US$2.58 bn
Hindalco signed a definitive agreement for purchase of 100% equity stake in Aleris at an EV of
US$2.58 bn. The purchase consideration involves cash payment of US$775 mn and assumption
of debt of US$1.8 bn at Aleris. In addition there is an earn-out of up to US$50 mn linked to
Aleris delivering EBITDA beyond the business case plan for CY2018-2020 (>US$360 mn for
CY2020E)---the incremental EBITDA will be shared in a 50:50 ratio. The management expects
to close the deal in 9 to 15 months. The earnings improvement at Aleris can be large, led by:
Ramp-up of Lewisport ABS facility in the US: HNDL expects incremental EBITDA of
US$120 mn from Automotive-finishing capacity at Lewisport, USA by CY2020E—this will aid
in EBITDA growing to US$360 mn by CY2020E (post the year of deal closing) from US$240
mn now (adjusted for outages). The company expects US$65 mn of this incremental EBITDA
from already contracted capacity and US$55 mn from new contracts which should be led by
high demand and supply tightness in the US for auto body sheets. Also, the US$360 mn
EBITDA expectation does not include the potential from improvement in Aerospace
operation earnings—this can be another US$20-30 mn opportunity.
Synergies of US$150 mn annually from 3 to 5 years. The synergy benefits of US$150 mn
a year will accrue from 3 to 5 years. Of this, close to 50% (US$70-75 mn) will be led by the
integration of Novelis’ Asia auto facility with Aleris’ China hot mill capacity, which requires
an investment of US$250-300 mn. The other 50% synergies will be led by procurement
efficiencies, supply chain, IT integration, etc.
A promising story---can be a good fit; we maintain BUY rating on the stock
Hindalco’s preference for growth in downstream value-added segment reflects high demand
growth potential for this segment as well as better returns on investment. The company
continues to earn higher RoCE at Novelis while returns in the upstream smelting operations are
subdued. We like the potential from this acquisition especially given Novelis’ operating
expertise. We expect (1) HNDL’s leverage ratio to be comfortable post acquisition—while net-
debt/EBITDA will initially increase to 3.7X from 2.8X, we expect a decline to 3.1X/2.5X over
FY2019/2020E, and (2) we believe the transaction can be earnings accretive in 2-3 years (Exhibit
1 & 2). We revise our TP to Rs305 (from Rs315) to reflect an increase in leverage. Maintain BUY.
Hindalco Industries (HNDL) Metals & Mining
Aleris acquisition—a good opportunity. HNDL’s acquisition of Aleris for US$2.58 bn
reflects investment in the high growth rolled product segment with better return
prospects (higher than upstream smelting operations). The execution capabilities of
Novelis can help deliver EBITDA potential that Aleris is yet to realize despite the large
investment—HNDL expects EBITDA to increase to US$360 mn by CY2020E (from
US$240 mn). We believe the acquisition can be earnings accretive in a short span and
HNDL’s leverage to be comfortable. We maintain BUY and revise TP to Rs305 (from
Rs315 earlier).

Other highlights from the analyst meet
Borrowing cost of Aleris to decline. The cost of debt for Aleris is as high as 10.75%
and Novelis’ is close to 5.85%. Aleris’ borrowing cost will decline as either company re-
negotiates the terms (there may be a clause in loans terms for change in control) or re-
financing.
Capex at Aleris. The sustenance capex at Aleris is only US$90-100 mn. However, the
company will also invest US$250-300 mn in the China facility for integrating Aleris’ hot
mill capacity with Novelis’ auto-finishing line.
EBITDA potential of US$360 mn does not include Aerospace opportunity. The
US$360 mn EBITDA does not include potential improvement in earnings from Aerospace
operations which can add US$20-30 mn. We note that in the Aerospace business, there
were renewals of long-term contracts with major aircraft OEMs during 2016 and 2017
with higher share of business/value-added business. As per Aleris, this can aid EBITDA by
US$20 to 30 mn beginning CY2019 though the full annual benefit of these contracts is
not expected to be realized until 2022.
Tax benefits (due to carry forward of losses). The company believes that tax benefits
will be available in some geographies, as due to the change in control the realization of
such benefits may not be available in all geographies. The management did not share the
specific amounts of such tax efficiencies.
Pension liability of US$200 mn. The unfunded liability of US$200 mn could entail
annual payments in the range of US$15 mn. However, we highlight that pension
liabilities remain a function of actuary assumptions as well as assumptions on discounting
rates used for valuing future liabilities. The hardening of interest rates will result in lower
present value of future liabilities. In such a case, based on asset returns for the amount
invested, pension liabilities can changes (at times for good). The payment plans thus
agreed with sponsors (which will be Aleris) keeps on changing from time to time based
on re-computed deficits or no payments in case computations throws up a funded status.
Valuation at 7.2X EBITDA, leverage to be comfortable. Assuming US$360 mn of
EBITDA, the EV/EBITDA multiple works out to 7.2X. The company expects consolidated
leverage to increase to ~3.5X which should decline to <3X in two years.
Leverage—to remain comfortable
Hindalco’s net-debt/EBITDA was 2.8X in March 2018 (trailing) as the company’s balance has
de-levered by close to Rs150 bn in the last two years. We expect the pro-forma consolidated
net-debt/EBITDA to increase initially to 3.7X based on FY2018 financials due to the
acquisition but then fall to 3.1X/2.5X over FY2020E.
We highlight that HNDL continues to earn strong FCF due to its low cost operations even on
LME aluminum price assumption of US$2,075-2,150/ton.

Aleris—can be earnings accretive in short span
Aleris has the potential to increase EBITDA to US$360 mn by CY2019 from US$200 mn. We
also note that the company expects adjusted EBITDA in CY2018 to be substantially higher
than CY2017. Aleris’ CY2019 EBITDA, after such improvements will still not fully capture
the entire potential from (1) 30-40% of ABS facility at Lewisport which is yet to be
contracted, (2) China aerospace capacity. We note that China volumes are very low at
27,000 tons (CY2017) versus 225 ktpa capacity—company has spent US$350 mn in this
capacity and has close to 200 kt of uncommitted hot metal capacity. This can improve over
the next few years.

Aleris—leveraged play, banking on growth
Aleris is a manufacturer of rolled aluminum products (similar to Novelis) with manufacturing
sites in North America (automotive, transport, building & construction), Europe (aerospace,
automotive) and China (aerospace). In CY2017, Aleris earned adjusted EBITDA of US$200
mn had a net debt of US$1.68 bn. The CY2017 EBITDA was also impacted by US$30 mn
extended plant outages in Lewisport—this should normalize the details of operations,
financials are as below:
Smaller scale of operations compared to Novelis. Aleris’ rolled product shipments in
CY2017 stood at 803,000 tons (Novelis is close to 3.2 mn tons) of which larger sales
were in North America (462,000 tons) and Europe (317,000 tons). The shipments in Asia
Pacific were only 27,000 tons from a hot mill (225 ktpa) in China.
The details of major capacities are:
Europe. Aleris has two rolling mills in Europe and has the leading position in (1)
Aerospace plates and sheets, (2) Auto body sheets, and (3) Clad Brazing sheets. The
operations are located in Germany and Belgium. The company has ample hot metal
capacity to support 2nd
CALP.
North America. Aleris has leading position in North America in (1) Building and
construction, (2) Truck trailer, and (3) Distribution. The operations in the US are located
in Lewisport, Richmond, Cleveland, Clayton, Ashville, Davenport, etc. The company
has also invested in an Auto body sheet plant in Lewisport which can aid a sharp jump
in EBITDA in CY2018-2019E.

Asia. Aleris has a rolling mill in Zhenjiang, China. This is the first plate mill in China
with Aerospace shipments to western OEMs. The company has large uncommitted hot
metal capacity here (200 ktpa)—this can be converted to CALP (Continuous Annealing
Line with Pre-Treatment) as well.
Product mix—differs from Novelis. The company’s sales includes (1) 11% to
aerospace, (2) 15% to automotives, (3) 24% to building and construction in North
America, (4) 15% to Distribution, and (5) 5% to North America Truck trailers. The
product profile differs from Novelis which has close to 58-60% shipments to the
beverage can segment and ~20% in automotive sheets.
Investment and expansion projects by Aleris. The major recent investments include:
North America—automotive body sheet. Aleris has invested US$425 mn in the
auto body sheet facility at Lewisport (220 ktpa). This plant was commissioned in
November 2017. The company has committed 50% of ABS capacity through 2025
under long-term agreements; receiving advance payments of US$80 mn to reserve
capacity. The company has commitment for >50% ABS capacity through 2025 under
LTA with fixed conversion prices. Also, additional customer wins have added 10% to
committed volumes through 2025. The company expects adjusted EBITDA of North
America ABS project could range from US$65 mn to US$75 mn annually during 2019.
The full ramp-up will occur over the next four years
This operation has large growth potential as the company expects 27% of all body and
closure parts for light vehicles in America to be made of aluminum by 2025 (at 11%
CAGR based on Ducker report).
Asia Pacific—aerospace in China. Aleris has invested US$350 mn in China to
capture aerospace growth and shift in demand to Asia. The EBITDA from China facility
was only US$13 mn for CY2017. This plant has 250 ktpa of hot mill capacity and 35
ktpa of plate capacity. Hence, there is large optionality for growth in various end uses
(>200 ktpa). The shipment from China facility was only 27,000 tons for the last 12
months. As per the company, the combined order backlog of Airbus and Boeing
increased to 13,000 planes in 2017 from 10,500 planes in 2015.
Europe—auto body sheet at Duffel. The company has invested US$85 mn in this
capacity in Duffel, Belgium. This has the widest ABS capabilities in Europe and the
company is working with global OEM customers. The current financials only reflect 75%
of expected EBITDA run-rate from this facility.
North America—building and construction. The company acquired for US$110 mn
(Nichols)—this investment is expected to benefit from housing recovery in the US. Aleris is
the largest supplier of aluminum sheets to the building and construction industry in North
America.
Aleris financials—leveraged due to growth investments
In CY2017, the company’s revenues were US$2.9 bn and adjusted EBITDA was US$200 mn
(after mill outage impact of US$30 mn). The company had net-debt of US$1.7 bn as on
December 2017 with net-debt/EBITDA (LTM) of 8.4 X.
Growth capex in last four years. Aleris has invested close to US$850 mn in growth
capex over 2013-2017 (additionally sustenance capex was US$400 mn). A large amount
of capex was spent in North America ABS projects and China facility.

Large earnings improvement expected in North America and Asia. At present, the
European operations contribute a higher share to EBITDA (US$128 mn for CY2017) while
North America adjusted EBITDA was US$97 mn. Asian operations are small for the
company with EBITDA of only US$13 mn. The company earned EBITDA/ton of US$402
(Shipments: 317,000 tons) in Europe in CY2017 while North America EBITDA/ton was
US$209 (Shipments: 462,000 tons).
The ramp-up of capacities in North America and China will see a large improvement in
earnings from those geographies.

Capital allocation—choice of upstream versus downstream investment?
The capital allocation for an aluminum producer is a choice between (1) upstream aluminum
smelting operations, versus (2) downstream value added products. We highlight that
investment returns in the first case (smelting) have remained low due to China
overcapacity—we estimate post tax RoIC of close 3-4% at the spot aluminum prices &
capital costs; such has been the case for last 4-5 years resulting in limited investment in
smelting capacities, outside China. We also highlight that acquiring captive raw-material
presents another challenge in India, despite government led reforms in the sector.
The downstream rolling operations offer superior returns on two counts (1) higher earning
potential based on the spot economics given that the impact of China overcapacity in the
rolling industry is limited to Asian region and (2) growth opportunity from emerging end-
user sectors such as automotive rolled products. We highlight that per our estimate,
Hindalco’s investment in Novelis in CY2007 earned it average return of 10% per annum till
date—our calculations assumes Novelis’ present valuation at 7X 1 year forward EBITDA and
also account dividends.

Synergy guidance may drive UPL’s EBITDA margins ahead of top innovators—difficult to achieve
UPL’s guidance of potential US$200+ mn of synergy benefits from the proposed transaction, in
effect translates into an optimistic margin accretion of 10%+ on acquired revenues from Arysta
or ~4% on the revenues of the combined entity. UPL and Arysta have managed to deliver
robust EBITDA margins of 20-22% in the recent year, already comparable to the top global ag-
chem innovators, partly through cost-rationalization efforts amid a weak global ag-chem
environment. Hence, any material reduction in overall costs from here may be difficult to
achieve, in our view.
Quantum of synergies may depend on capital cost or other associated cost to business
A few areas where UPL can derive synergies form the acquisition are (1) backward integration
to produce active ingredients and formulations for Arysta, (2) rationalization of R&D expenses,
(3) economies of scale in procurement and distribution and (4) reduction in corporate
overheads. However, certain synergies may entail upfront costs. For example, backward
integration or in-house sourcing may require incremental capital costs to raise production
capacity. Further, rationalization of R&D may come at a cost of Arysta’s focus on late-stage R&D
formulations or specialty applications. We detail our thoughts on these aspects in the
subsequent page.
Synergy gains ≠ EPS accretion, given currency hedging and intangible amortization
Even if we assume that the entire synergies of ~US$200 mn flow through UPL’s EBITDA, this
quantum may not translate fully into earnings. Quick lessons from Platforms’ recent history
suggest that currency hedging and intangible amortization may potentially negate synergy
benefits for UPL, posing downside risks to pro forma estimates.
Platform’s synergy benefits from acquisitions in agri-business were negated by
weaker local currencies and rising inputs costs. Platform realized US$85 mn of synergy
benefits within two years from the acquisition of Arysta and two other ag-chem companies
during end-CY2014. However, its margins remained largely unchanged around 20-21%
during CY2014-16 as the company faced headwinds from weakness in local currencies and
rising input costs—both issues are relevant in the current environment as well. We note that
UPL may hedge in line with its business policy, which albeit will come at a cost to margins.
Platform’s D&A for agri-business has been higher than recurring capex. Platform’s
depreciation and amortization cost for agri-business has been around 3X of capital
expenditure over the past three years; higher D&A is attributed to amortization of fair value
of intangibles recognized at the time of acquisition of agri-business. We note that UPL may
also recognize intangibles at a certain fair value, resulting in incremental amortization
expense, which may offset the synergy gains on net income.
UPL (UPLL) Others
Too good, if true. UPL’s guidance of US$200+ mn of synergy benefits from the
proposed acquisition of Arysta is certainly encouraging—however, conviction around it
may only increase if the management provides bottom-up inputs that may drive these
gains. Further, the translation of synergy gains into EPS accretion for UPL may be
contingent on incremental costs related to currency hedging and intangible
amortization—Platform’s history on both does not provide much comfort.

Where can the synergies come from?
Backward integration. UPL may manufacture a portion of Arysta’s active ingredients
and formulations in-house instead of outsourcing, driving incremental gains on margins.
However, any such margin accretion may come at an incremental capital cost for new
production facilities, which will be required to cater to Arysta’s requirements.
Procurement. UPL may be able to derive economies of scale benefits in sourcing of basic
raw materials and solvents. However, the extent of savings, in our view, may be limited
given the global commodity nature of these chemicals.
Distribution. UPL may be able to reduce distribution costs by optimizing warehousing
and logistics, and leveraging its enhanced bargaining power with distributors in otherwise
subscale markets currently. However, UPL’s identifiable distribution costs are less than 8%
of revenues, half of which comes from transport expenses wherein there may be limited
savings. We are not sure if there can be material reduction on remaining expenses, ~4%
of revenues, which may not swing the needle anyway.

R&D. UPL may rationalize R&D costs by removing redundancies in research/registration
teams, facilities and research focus areas. We highlight that Arysta’s R&D expenses are
1.5X of UPL’s spends, perhaps reflecting the former’s focus on late-stage R&D
formulations and specialty applications; any material reduction thereby may come at a
