Banks to contribute positively; other sector trends persist

INDIA | Result Preview

9 January 2019

PAT growth will be driven by banks (mainly PSUs), IT, capital goods, and FMCG. We expect contraction for auto, pharma, and cement and muted performance from NBFC and infra segments. Banks will benefit from lower G-sec yields/robust trading income. NPAs are likely to drop, even if banks recognize ILFS exposure in Q3. We see robust deal-flow in IT, strong execution in capital goods. As the entire festive season was in one quarter, price hikes for the FMCG sector will also drive earnings growth for 3Q. We forecast PC-universe* EBITDA growth of 13%. 3Q: Key drivers for the PC universe:

++ Financials – Stable NIMs and strong credit growth to result in robust NII growth (+16% yoy). Higher trading incomes and gains from NPA resolutions to positively influence earnings. GNPA expected to fall, even after accounting for ILFS NPA recognition in Q3.

++Speciality chemicals – Will continue to deliver strong performance led by improved domestic and external demand scenario. Better product mix, favourable currency, and increased realisation from value-added products will drive operating performance.

+ Capital goods – Robust earnings growth to continue, led by strong operating profitability and margin expansion. Order flows to turn weak. We will be closely tracking election impact on order flow guidance, margins, and working capital.

+ FMCG – Retail and consumer discretionary companies will see strong growth vs. staples due to formalisation. Strong revenue growth due to the festive season. Margins are under pressure due to RM cost escalation.

- Automobiles – Tepid festive sales caused broad-based weakness; margins come under pressure due to higher incentives and negative leverage.

- NBFCs – Earnings growth muted at 13% due to margin contraction and moderation in AUM growth. Asset quality to remain stable.

-- Pharma – Earnings to contract by 3% due to weak operating performance. Margins to decline led by on-going price pressure in the US generics business, and higher raw material cost due to Chinese supply disruption.

GNPAs to fall, lower yields are a positive: Within financials, retail banks will continue to report strong performance with NII growth of +23% yoy. Services (NBFCs) and retail (unsecured) will keep driving credit growth. Deposit growth was also strong. MCLR rates have increased by c.10bps on average, while FD rates have increased by c.5-10bps. Slippage should remain in line with Q2FY19. Higher slippages likely from the corporate segment while those in retail and agri should moderate. Key plays: SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Mahindra Finance, Manappuram Finance. Capital goods – operationally strong, order inflows to decline: We estimate 18% yoy rise in earnings in Q3, but adjusting for BHEL and BDL (favourable base) this tapers to 11%, down substantially. After strong 1HFY19 (+50% yoy), we expect order inflows to contract by 21% yoy on a high base – this is because of a significant decline in new orders of L&T (ex-services -40% yoy) and BHEL (-55%), which contributed 78% of 3Q orders. Our key earnings play: Positive: ABB, TMX. Negative: L&T, BHE, VATW, COCHIN. Consumption – FMCG to gain from festive season, not automobiles: FMCG revenues to accelerate due to festive season, price hikes, recovery in CSD channel, and higher penetration. However, margins will moderate due to commodity inflation, no GST related savings. Our earnings play: Jubilant Foodworks, Titan, Nestle, Asian Paints, Marico. Broad-based weakness (in revenues and margins) expected in the auto sector. Tyre companies to see sequential margin pressure due to high-cost inventory. Our earnings play: Escorts.

Q3FY19 RESULTS PREVIEW

Key sector highlights

Sector Key observations / outlook Earnings plays

Auto Weak volumes across OEMs as festive season sales fizzle out. Positive: Escorts

Margins to be under pressure across the board led by higher incentives and

negative leverage.

Tyre companies to see some qoq margin pressure due to high cost inventory.

Banking Our banking universe will see +16% yoy (+5% qoq) growth in NIIs, driven by credit

growth and stable NIMs.

Positive: SBI, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank

Decline in G-Sec yields in the quarter should lead to higher trading income.

Expect GNPAs (%) to decline by c.40bps qoq in Q3 to 11% for the system.

Cement Industry volume growth seen at +8% yoy, 10% qoq. Positive: Shree Cement, JK Cement

Realisations expected to remain flattish qoq in most regions.

Opex/tonne expected to reduce by 1-2% qoq.

EBITDA/tonne for the sector seen at c.Rs 750/tonne (6% yoy; -2% qoq).

Capital Goods Expect our coverage of capital-goods companies to report 18% yoy growth in earnings in Q3. However, excluding BHEL and BDL, which have a low base yoy, the sector PAT growth would be 11% yoy. Revenues should rise 14%. EBITDA growth of 23% yoy is skewed by strong operational results for L&T’s IT Services and Development Project segments and improved margins for majority of the companies (led by BDL, BHEL, GETD). The key highlight for the quarter is weak order inflows announced by L&T and BHEL.

Positive: ABB, TMX

Key monitorables would be: (1) Management outlook on any slowdown on execution and award of new orders due to general election in 1QFY20, (2) impact of lower raw material costs on gross margins, and (3) pressure on working capital.

Negative: L&T, BHE, VATW, COCHIN

Consumer/FMCG Consumer sector’s revenue growth to accelerate qoq on: (1) Entire festive season

falling in 3QFY19, (2) judicious price hikes in key segment, (3) CSD channel on a

recovery path, and (4) increased distribution reach.

Positive: Titan, Jubilant Foods, Nestle, Asian Paints,

Marico

Retail and consumer discretionary companies should see strong growth vs. staples

as the larger theme of formalization remains intact.

Negative: Bajaj Corp, Emami, GCPL

Margins to moderate significantly on: (1) Inflationary pressure in key commodities,

(2) late start to the winter season, and (3) anniversary of GST-related savings.

IT Services Moderate topline growth in constant currency terms – negative CC impact will

lower reported growth.

Positive: TCS, Wipro, LTTS

Margins to expand for most companies due to INR depreciation. Negative: Persistent, TechM

Guidance by Infosys, HCLT, and Wipro will be keenly watched.

Management commentary on deal flow and digital business will be of utmost

importance.

Infrastructure Strong revenue growth for most EPC companies – driven by strong orderbooks. Negative: KNR, IRB, ADSEZ

Margins to decline yoy due to exceptionally high margins last year (GST impact). Positive: NCC, PNC, Ahluwalia

Earnings to report strong yoy growth - topline growth partly mitigated by lower

margins and higher tax.

NBFC We see NII growth for NBFCs under our coverage at a moderate 13% yoy due to

margin contraction and moderation in AUM growth.

Positive: Mahindra Finance and Manappuram

Finance

Margin to see 5-25bps contraction in Q3 as cost of funds shot up after IL&FS’

default in September.

Negative: Shriram City Union

Asset-quality to remain stable.

Pharmaceutical We estimate muted 6% yoy growth in revenues for our coverage universe due to

adverse impact of ongoing pricing pressure and incremental competition in the US

generics business.

Positive BIOS IN: Ramp-up in biologic sales will help

earnings to double.

We estimate EBITDA margin to decline at 20.5% for PC’s Pharma universe as

elevated RM prices from China keep operating profits under pressure. As a result,

EBITDA to see flat yoy growth.

Positive DIVI IN: Recovery in overall profitability, led

by reduction in remediation expenses and advantage

of supply disruptions in China.

On weak operating performance, PC’s pharma universe should see an earnings

decline of 3% yoy.

Positive SUNP IN: Stable performance in the US and

currency to support earnings growth.

Negative CIPLA IN: Slow ramp-up in the US and

business challenges in ROW will impact earnings.

Negative LPC IN: Competition in its key drugs and

lack of new launches will cause a fall in earnings.

Specialty Chem Sales to grow by 33%, led by sustained growth across the board and improved

demand scenario in domestic and exports markets. However, due to a lean period

in the global market, revenues will remain muted qoq.

Positive Aarti: Strong performance in the specialty

chemicals segment, led by rising contribution from

value-added products and improved realisation in its

key products, will lead to 30%/70% yoy growth in

overall sales/PAT

Better product mix, favourable currency, and increased realisation from value- Positive VO: Robust sales growth led by the strong

Q3FY19 RESULTS PREVIEW

added products will drive operating performance. EBITDA margin to expand by

c.295bps yoy, but due to no growth in product pricing qoq and INR appreciation,

there would be no expansion in margin sequentially.

performance in ATBS business, despite temporary

demand issue in IBB business, will result in 42% yoy

growth in sales. On a low base, earnings to double

yoy (+2% qoq).

In line with strong sales/operating performance, earnings growth should be

healthy at 70% yoy, but it will remain muted qoq – with a growth of 3%.

Positive CFIN: Sales growth of 9% yoy, led by strong

performance in the blends operations and

incremental sales from its China vanillin facility.

Margin to see smart recovery at 9.7% with improved

product mix, resulting in continuous improvement in

profitability

Positive ATLP: Healthy growth in both life sciences

and performance chemicals will lead to a 21% yoy

growth in sales. Mainly strong prices in agro and

aromatics will expand margin by 300bps yoy, which

will lead to strong yoy earnings growth of 31% yoy (-
