Capacity expansion to drive growth

JKLC is undergoing Greenfield expansion of its installed capacity by setting up a 2.7 MTPA unit at

Durg, Chattisgarh. JKLC is also reviving its defunct unit of 1.5 MTPA capacity in Udaipur. The total

capital outlay for these projects is INR 16.5bn. The expanded capacity is expected to boost volumes

over the next couple of years. This will also help the company in achieving economies of scale and

result in better operating leverage. We expect the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 30% over FY 12-

FY15E on the back of volume growth at a CAGR of 14% over FY12-FY15E and realization growth at a

CAGR of 8% over the same period.

Higher utilization levels and realization levels to lead margin expansion

We expect JKLC to maintain a utilization rate of around 80% over the next two years due to a favorable

demand supply scenario in Northern & Western India. On the back of strong utilization and realization

growth we expect EBIDTA margins to increase by 600 bps to reach 26% in FY 15E.

Outlook & Valuation

We Initiate coverage of JKLC with a BUY rating and price target of INR 179 based on EV/EBIDTA

multiple of 4X FY15E. We believe this valuation is justified given the doubling of capacity by JKLC

coupled with strong demand for the commodity over the next two years. We expect JKLC to report an

EPS of INR 30.56 and INR 41.69 for FY14E and FY15E respectively. At the CMP of INR 140 the stock

trades at 5.34X and 3.20X to the FY14E and FY15E EBIDTA respectively and EV/Tonne of US$ 127.44

and 62.22 EV/tone discounting FY14-15E financials and year end capacity respectively. With revenue

growth of ~28% p.a. over FY12-FY15E and higher growth in EBIDTA (~49% p.a.), the target

EV/EBIDTA multiple of JKLC is relatively lower as compared to its Indian peers and we expect the stock

to be re-rated going forward.

Risks: A downturn in economy leading to a cut in consumer spending, delay in commissioning of the

new capacity.

Industry overview:

The Indian Cement industry with a total installed capacity of 323 MTPA through 148 large and 365 mini

cement plants in FY 2012 is the world’s second largest manufacturer of cement after China, ahead of

developed nations such as the US and Japan. Though the cement industry is geographically fragmented

(being freight intensive), the top few players account for more than 50% of the industry capacity. The rest

is distributed among a large number of small players. However India’s cement capacity is still far lower as

compared to that of China’s capacity of 2,020 MTPA (CY 11). Per Capita consumption of Cement in India

as of 2010 was at 176kgs as against 1210kgs in China, indicating the huge potential for growth and the

huge requirements for infrastructure and housing in India. In view of the slowing capacity addition,

increasing trends of utilization and realization, peaking of interest rates, increase in trend of captive power

consumption by the companies and US$ 1tn over next five year plan towards infrastructure development,

we are bullish on the prospects of the sector.

Peaking of Interest rates to trigger infrastructure demand

With Inflation expected to have peaked out and moves to reduce diesel, LPG subsidy to control the Fiscal

and Current Account deficits, interest rate cuts looks a near certainty starting January 2013. While

inflation sustaining at higher levels is being cited as the key reason for holding the interest rates, the

easing up of core inflation as the recent data suggests augurs well for a rate cut. Interest rate reversal as

and when it comes will be a huge positive for the sector as this will have a positive impact on the credit off

take from housing and industrial segments thereby positively impacting the interest rate sensitives viz,

cement, infrastructure, real estate etc.

12th Five Year Plan –US$ 1tn investment to drive Cement demand

GoI in its draft 12th Five year plan has mentioned that it is looking to invest US$ 1tn in infrastructure

through direct and Public and Private Participation route. This coupled with softening of interest rates will

drive the next round of demand from the much delayed Investment and infrastructure investments. Within

the infrastructure the biggest share of demand comes from roads. With NHAI speeding up mechanism of

awarding the road projects in order to achieve the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways’ target of 8,800

km for FY13, higher by 10.6% y-o-y, we may see improvements in demand from road projects for the

current fiscal. As per the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI), India lags far behind developed nations

like USA and Germany where around 2/5th of roads are built of cement concrete whereas in India it is

only around 2%. National Highways have a total length of 76,818 km. The Government has been

planning to strengthen highways through various phases of the National Highways Development Project

(NHDP). Around 68% of total NHAI projects are incomplete and 77% of NHDP projects are incomplete.

The projects under implementation should provide a reasonable consumption boost. While infrastructure

related demand for cement recorded about 6% CAGR between 2007-12 (11th Five year plan), we expect

a stronger demand during the 12th five year plan.

Forthcoming elections to spur demand

Historically during election years there has always been an increase in demand for cement. In four out of

the last five general elections, the GDP multiplier has been higher than the long term industry multiplier of

1.2X. With India going to general elections in 2014, we expect an increase in demand in CY2013 as it

could be the last chance for the existing government to improve the state of infrastructure in the country.

Also many major cement consuming nations in MP, AP, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra are

going into elections over the next couple of years. The incumbent governments are expected to step up

infrastructure activities which will consequently drive the cement consumption.

Easing of inflations and higher income levels will lead to housing growth:

The fundamental drivers of the industry remain intact. Inflation has been on the higher side for a couple of

years now and recent data suggest barring food items other components of the inflation have started

easing out. Cement demand has a negative correlation with inflation. We expect the inflation to ease out

from the current 7% and consequent increase in disposable incomes which will lead to an increase in

housing demand. We expect the housing sector to continue to be the major consumer of cement. As per

the working group on rural housing under the XII Plan, total rural housing shortage for 12th Plan is seen

at 43.67 million units which indicate the upside potential for the sector.

Slowing Capacity additions will lead to increase in utilizations

The total installed capacity in India has grown at a CAGR of 14% over the last five years to 323 MTPA in

FY12. However the installed capacity is expected to grow at a lower 5% over the next two years (FY14 &

FY15). With slowing addition and increase in demand we expect the utilization rates to be around 77% in

FY 15 against 73% in FY12. This in turn will positively affect the bottom lines of the cement companies.

GDP and Cement Consumption:

Average consumption growth of cement has been 1.2 X of GDP growths (CY 05-10). In the recent past

cement consumption to GDP has declined to 1.1X from the higher levels of 1.4X in FY 10; this was mainly

due to the extra thrust on infrastructure spending in FY 09 and FY 10 as part of an array of efforts to

revive the economy post the financial meltdown in FY 08. With drop in interest rate and some reform

measures business confidence is expected to revive and infrastructure spending would once again garner

attention and thus the industry multiplier is likely to increase to 1.2X in FY 14 and to 1.3X in FY15.

Investment Rationale

Volume expansion to drive revenues

JKLC is setting up a Greenfield plant with an installed capacity of 2.7 MTPA unit at Durg, Chattisgarh with

a capital outlay of INR 15bn. This is expected to be commissioned by the beginning of FY 15. Besides

clinkerisation facility at Durg, the Project will have two additional split location grinding units in different

states of Eastern India. This will enable the Company to substantially cover Eastern Indian markets. It

completed setting up a split grinding unit of 0.5 MTPA at Jhajjar, Surat in March 2012. JKLC is also

reviving its defunct unit of 1.5 MTPA capacity at Udaipur at a capital outlay of INR 1.50 bn. For this

purpose the company has issued 9% secured Non Convertible Redeemable Debentures of INR 0.5bn to

the erstwhile lenders of Udaipur Cement Works Ltd. The company’s total installed capacity will increase

to 10 MTPA post expansion as against the current 5.3 MTPA. The expanded capacity is expected to

provide volume boosts over the next couple of years. This will also help the company in achieving

economies of scale. We expect the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 30% over FY 12 to FY15E on the back

of volume growth at a CAGR of 14% over FY12-FY15E and realization growth at a CAGR of 8%

Higher utilization levels and realization levels to lead margin expansion

Cement capacity addition has slowed down after a relentless addition over the last decade. Cement

capacity addition in India is expected to grow at around 5%p.a over the next two years (FY 13E-15E).

This compares with 14%p.a capacity growth over the last five years and 10%p.a over the last decade.

The slow pace of capacity addition is expected to lag the incremental demand of around 9%p.a over

FY13E-15E which will help the company to achieve higher utilization levels. The stabilization of JKLC’s

Kiln I rehabilitation undertaken in FY 2010-11 helped the clinker production in FY 2011-12 to notch up a

growth of 8%. This coupled with Company’s improved sales performance vis-à-vis its competitors enabled

JKLC to achieve a volume growth of 14%. This compares favorably with the industry’s growth of 7% on all

India basis and 11% in the company’s marketing zone. The higher volume growth also enabled the

Company to achieve near 100% capacity utilization as against industry’s 75% and 80% by cement

companies in the company’s marketing zone. The higher capacity utilization has helped the company in

reducing the costs. Going forward, we expect the capacity utilization to be about 80%. The favorable

demand supply scenario, production discipline will lead to increase in pricing power of the companies. We

expect realization to grow at a CAGR of 8% p.a over FY12-15E. On the back of strong utilization and

realization growth we expect EBIDTA margins to increase by 600 bps to reach 26% in FY 15E.

Key cost drivers well addressed

JKLC has secured a long term power supply from VS lignite. This long term agreement assures them of

21MW of power at a cost of INR 3.94/Kwh which is closer to their captive power production cost. Apart

from the existing power plant of 36MW it also has an upcoming power plant of 18MW and a 12MW green

power plant to utilize the waste heat of pre heater. This leaves the company with a surplus power

capacity of 20MW after considering their requirement of 67MW, which could be sold outside at

competitive rates. In a rising cost scenario, this self sufficiency in power requirements augurs well for the

company to increase its bottom line.

Freight costs

Freight costs account for nearly 22% of the total costs and have seen almost a 25% CAGR increase over

the last seven years. Recently the Government has raised prices of diesel by INR 5 per litre, which will

lead to increase in operating costs by INR 60-75/MT for cement companies. There is also proposal in

front of the cabinet to increase diesel prices by INR 1 every month. JKLC has the advantage of having the

clinker units closer to its marketing zones. JKLC has a Rail-Road mix of 50:50 against the overall industry

Better performing markets

JKLC caters mainly to the northern and western regions of the country with Gujarat and Rajasthan being

the major markets contributing 60% of their sales. The volume growth of 15.38% and 15.4% in Gujarat

of the company stands reduced from INR 61.19 Cr. to INR 58.85 Cr pursuant to buy back.

Major projects that could positively affect JKLC

JKLC focus markets lie in the same area as where the forth coming Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor and

Dedicated Freight Corridor projects are coming up. JKLC will benefit from the off take in cement because

of this project and from the industrial townships that would come along this corridor

Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (USD 90bn)

Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor is a mega infrastructure project with an estimated cost of around USD

90bn. This will aim to cover a length of 1483 Km between Delhi and the financial capital of India. This is to

be executed with financial aids and technical aids from Japan. This ambitious project aims at developing

an Industrial Zone spanning across six states in India. It covers six states namely Delhi, Western Uttar

Pradesh, Southern Haryana, Eastern Rajasthan, Eastern Gujarat and Western Maharashtra. This will

benefit players is the Central, Western and Northern regions.

Dedicated Freight corridor

Under the Eleventh Five Year plan of India(2007–2012), Ministry of Railways is constructing a new

Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) covering about 2762 route km long two routes - the Eastern Corridor

from Ludhiana to Dankuni and the Western Corridor from Jawaharlal Nehru Port at Nhava Sheva in Navi

Mumbai to Tughlakabad, Delhi/Dadri along with interlinking of two corridors at Khurja. Upgrading of

transportation technology, increase in productivity and reduction in unit transportation cost are the focus

areas for the project. With the loan of INR 200bn from Japan, funding of the entire Western Dedicated

Freight Corridor from Delhi to Mumbai has been taken care of.

Strong Balance sheet

The company’s strong balance sheet with a low leverage augurs well for future expansion plans. Of the

total Capital expenditure of INR 16.50bn, the company will raise debts for INR 11.00bn and the balance

through internal accruals. For the purpose of reviving the defunct unit at Udaipur the company has issued

9% secured Non Convertible Redeemable Debentures of INR 50bn to the erstwhile lenders of Udaipur

Cement Works Ltd.

Financials & Valuations

The expanded capacity is expected to provide volume boosts over the next couple of years. This will also

help the company in achieving economies of scale. We expect the revenue to grow at a CAGR of 30%

over FY 12 to FY15E on the back of volume growth at a CAGR of 14% over FY12-FY15E and realization

growth at a CAGR of 8%

Valuation

We Initiate coverage of JKLC with a BUY rating and price target of INR 179 based on EV/EBIDTA

multiple of 4X FY15E. We believe this valuation is justified given the doubling of capacity by JKLC

coupled with strong demand for the commodity over the next two years. We expect JKLC to report an

EPS of INR 30.56 and INR 41.69 for FY14E and FY15E respectively. At the CMP of INR 140 the stock

trades at 5.34X and 3.20X to the FY14E and FY15E EBIDTA respectively and EV/Tonne of US$ 127.44

and 62.22 EV/tone discounting FY14-15E financials and year end capacity respectively. With revenue

growth of ~28% p.a. over FY12-FY15E and higher growth in EBIDTA (~49% p.a.), the target EV/EBIDTA

multiple of JKLC is relatively lower as compared to its Indian peers and we expect the stock to be re-rated

going forward.

Key Challenges well addressed:

Gypsum supply

JKLC sources its gypsum supplies locally and sees no problem with the same going forward

Limestone reserves

The limestone reserves for the existing capacity as well as the new capacity at Chattisgarh will last for

another 30 years while the reserves at the forthcoming Udaipur plant will last for about 50 years.

Pet Coke

JKLC sources its pet coke for its power consumption from Reliance Industries Limited. The prices are

volatile but supply is secured

Key Risks to our recommendation:

Delay in Commissioning of New Capacity: It is expected to be commissioned in the beginning of FY15.

Any further delays in commissioning of the new capacity will adversely affect our expectations and

forecast

Slowdown in the economy:

A general slowdown in the economy will negatively affect our forecasts for the industry as well as the

company and consequently our recommendations.
