US$1 bn worth of equity investments open large high-growth markets for ADSEZ

The Sarguja Rail acquisition (US$0.6 bn equity outgo) would help ADSEZ enter a 100 mn

ton market for coal transportation, 10X the current throughput of the asset. Incremental capex

for capacity expansion would be limited to setting loop lines, aiding expansion of business

returns. The Gangavaram Port acquisition (US$0.3 bn equity outgo) fortifies ADSEZ’s

positioning in the state of Andhra Pradesh. State volumes have grown at 10% CAGR over the

past three years with the port gaining share, growing volumes at 25% CAGR. The 250 mn ton

approved master plan equates to 7X of throughput of the port and 1.5X of the throughput of

the state. Dighi port acquisition (US$0.1 bn equity outgo) opens another 70 mn ton volume

market in Maharashtra beyond JNPT, ~7X of the capacity equivalent that ADSEZ paid for the asset.

Share consideration helps lower leverage, creating leeway for more acquisitions

A meaningful part of the equity outgo for the three acquisitions would get funded by equity

issuance to the promoter and Warburg Pincus (US$0.8 bn). The remaining equity commitment

would get paid back over a period of two years from the incremental cash profits. We envisage

ADSEZ’s consolidated net debt to EBITDA to move towards ~2X over FY2022/23. This creates

scope for further acquisitions – (1) acquiring promoter’s stake in Gangavaram Port (<0.4X

ADSEZ’s FY2022E EBITDA), (2) acquiring 56% stake in Concor (~1.5X ADSEZ’s FY2022E

EBITDA) and (3) acquiring stake in the west coast terminal (<0.4X ADSEZ’s FY2022E EBITDA).

On a separate note, we also note the hedge that the rail asset acquisition creates for the

thermal coal operations of ADSEZ’s port portfolio. Against the related ~100 mn ton of thermal

coal exposure, the Sarguja Rail acquisition opens a similar sized market for substitution by

domestic coal.

Increase Fair Value to Rs790, implying a 13X FY2023E EV/EBITDA multiple

We factor the three acquisitions into our estimates, yielding broadly unchanged EPS. We

increase our FV by ~21% on (1) latent value of the three acquisitions (7%), (2) higher medium-

term estimates for existing assets (6%), (3) lower CoE of 12.25% (4%) and (4) roll-forward to

June 2023 (3%). The implied 13X FY2023E EV/EBITDA multiple is in the middle of the 10-15X

historical one-year forward range.

Adani Ports and SEZ (ADSEZ) Transportation

Forays into large high-growth markets. Recent acquisitions would open further

scope of investments in large high-growth markets, create space for ADSEZ to add

more assets over time and help lower its business risk profile. Our revised FV of Rs790

implies a 13X FY2023E EV/EBITDA multiple, factoring in the latent value of these

acquisitions, higher medium-term volume estimates for existing port assets and a lower

cost of equity. It, however, does not factor in the option value of further asset/stake

acquisitions that ADSEZ may bid for. We downgrade the stock to ADD (from BUY).

RM headwinds to negatively impact gross margins for automotive OEMs in coming quarters

As per our analysis, automotive OEMs’ RM basket prices have increased by 190-580 bps from

2QFY21 levels over the past two quarters due to the sharp jump in commodity prices (Exhibit 1).

Steel and copper prices have increased by 54-55% from 1QFY21 levels whereas aluminum and

lead prices have increased by 23-37% in the same period. Also, precious metal prices have

more than doubled from FY2019 levels given the shift towards the BS-VI regime, which has

increased the demand for these metals. International rubber prices have increased by 93% from

1QFY21 levels led by (1) strong recovery in Chinese demand (China accounts for 43% of the

global NR demand) and (2) production-related issues. As per ANRPC, global rubber production

declined by 9% yoy in CY2020 due to (1) floods in South East Asia which resulted in a fungal

disease that causes abnormal fall in leaves and (2) production in Thailand has been affected due

to Covid-related travel restrictions, which has prevented tappers from Laos and Myanmar going

to Thailand’s rubber plantations (Exhibit 2). As a result, we expect RM basket prices to go up by

190-380 bps for two-wheeler OEMs (HMCL, Bajaj Auto, Eicher Motors and TVS Motor) from

2QFY21 levels.

We expect 390-430 bps price increase in the RM basket for M&M and Maruti Suzuki (assuming

only 50% of the steel price increase will get passed through during 4QFY21). Also, we expect

Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and Escorts RM basket prices to go up by 510-580 bps from

2QFY21 levels. In order to mitigate this impact, OEMs have taken price hikes in the range of

1.5-4% over the past two quarters (Exhibit 3). However, we believe this will not completely

offset the impact of commodity inflation and expect gross margins of automotive

OEMs (except Royal Enfield) to get negatively impacted during 4QFY21 by 50-400 bps.

Sharp jump in retail fuel prices further elevates cost of ownership for consumers

The cost of ownership for consumers has sharply increased over the past two years led by (1) 8-

15% price increase due to the BS-VI transition, (2) price hikes taken by OEMs to offset RM

headwinds during FY2021E and (3) the recent surge in retail fuel prices. As a result, total cost of

ownership for two-wheeler consumers has increased by 7-13% on a yoy basis whereas total

cost of ownership for PV consumers has increased by 6% on a yoy basis in FY2021 (Exhibits 4-

5) assuming average petrol price of Rs80.2/liter in FY2021. If we assume current retail price of

petrol at around ~Rs90-91/liter, total cost of ownership for two-wheeler consumers will increase

by 14-21% yoy whereas total cost of ownership for PV consumers will increase by 11% yoy.

Another round of price hikes may dent volume growth prospects

Overall, we expect automotive OEMs’ (except Royal Enfield) gross margins to decline by 50-400

bps on a qoq basis in 4QFY21 mainly due to increase in commodity prices, partly offset by price

hikes taken by the OEMs. OEMs will have to take further price increase to completely offset RM

headwinds. However, we are already witnessing signs of slowdown in domestic 2W demand

due to sharp increase in cost of ownership.

Automobiles & Components India

Commodity pressures to persist in near term. We expect gross margins of

automotive OEMs to remain under pressure in the coming quarters given sharp increase

in commodity prices. Automotive OEMs have taken price hikes to partly offset the

impact of RM headwinds. We except gross margins of TVS Motor and Royal Enfield to

get least impacted sequentially whereas gross margins of CV players (Tata Motors and

Ashok Leyland) and Escorts may decline by 300-400 bps on a qoq basis in 4QFY21.

Pricing – Price hikes continue in edible oil and soaps; muted activity in other categories

Home and personal care: We witness further price increase in soaps with the rise in palm

oil/PFAD prices. HUL has raised the price of select SKUs of Lux and Lifebuoy soap by 9%

while GCPL has raised price of select SKUs of Cinthol Original soap by 2%. In detergent

powders, HUL has raised price of 1 Kg SKU of Rin Advance by 4%. In HI, Jyothy Labs has

raised price of Maxo LV refill by about 3%. In shampoos, Patanjali has raised the price of

select SKUs of Kesh Kanti shampoo by 7%. P&G has increased the price of Olay Total Effects

face cleanser by 11%.

Foods and beverages: We have seen minimal pricing actions in foods/beverages with the

exception of edible oils. Marico has raised the price of multiple SKUs of Saffola edible oils

with 3% price increase in Saffola Tasty Blend, Gold and Active variants. ITC has raised the

price of 150 gm pack of Sunfeast Bourbon biscuit by 7%. Lactalis (Prabhat brand) has hiked

milk procurement price by Re1 to Rs30 per liter in Maharashtra. Nestle India has raised the

price of 400 gm pouch pack of Nestea Iced tea by 9%. Mondelez has lowered the effective

price of Cadbury 5 Star chocolate by 7% through grammage increase.

RM– Inflationary trends in oil commodities while mixed price trends in agri-commodities

See Exhibit 3 for detailed RM inflation impact.

Agri-inputs. Agri-commodities showed mixed trends in February. Domestic tea prices

continued to moderate in February (down 7% mom). Tea prices are down 40% from its

recent peak (August 2020) but is still up 57% on yoy basis. International coffee prices saw

some inflationary pressure (up 3-5% mom). Milk prices rose sharply (up 10% mom). The

price increase is due to (1) higher freight costs and (2) increase in the price of animal feed.

Prices are expected to remain firm in the near term; we note that milk prices have seen a

steady increase post the Covid-led slump in April. SMP prices were up 3% mom. Wheat,

sugar and barley prices were broadly stable. Maize continued to see inflationary pressure (up

5% mom).

Oil commodities basket. Crude prices were up 14% mom for the month; on a yoy basis

crude is up 13%. Most of the agri-oils continued to see inflationary pressure for the month.

Palm oil and PFAD prices continued to rise (up 5-6% mom) and are now up 37-40% on a

yoy basis. Copra and coconut oil saw 2-5% mom rise. Marico’s management expects copra

prices to start easing from 1Q on the back of a healthy crop outlook. Sunflower and

groundnut oil also saw a sharp increase of 5-6% mom. Sunflower oil is up 73% on a yoy

basis due to lower production in some of the international markets. Mentha and LLP were

stable for the month while rice bran oil saw moderate inflation of 2% mom.

Other commodities. Sharp inflationary pressure was seen for select commodities. VAM

(China) prices continued to remain hard – hovering close to US$1,400/MT level in February

(post the sharp increase in December). Styrene monomer too saw a sharp price increase of

7% mom. Gold prices continued to ease (down 5% mom); it is down 11% mom in the past

six months.

Consumer Staples India

Month in review – Feb 2021. The KIE consumer universe was down 3% over the past

one month, underperforming the broader markets by 200 bps. On the in-market activity

front, further price increases were seen in soaps and select edible oils. On RM front, we

witnessed (1) a sharp price increase in milk, (2) further increase in prices of most oil

commodities, and (3) further inflationary pressure in VAM and monomers. Broad-based

inflation would weigh on gross margins of most consumer companies in the near term.

Who benefits? (1) Easing tea prices should provide some relief to HUVR and TATACONS,

(2) continued benign intensity for wheat benefits ITC, NEST and BRIT.

Who gets impacted? (1) Higher prices for monomers and VAM are negative for paint

companies and PIDI. (2) PFAD inflation to hurt HUVR, GCPL and JYL. (3) Inflation in

milk prices hurts NEST and BRIT.

Strong sales, weak launches have led to faster absorption of outstanding inventory

All-India residential real estate sales across major cities in India continued to show healthy

trends with sales of 56 mn sq. ft (-7% yoy) in January 2021 after a bumper quarter in 3QFY21.

We highlight sales in 3QFY21 stood at its highest ever levels in the past five years at 166 mn sq.

ft (+13% yoy) for sales value of Rs983 bn (+19% yoy). Sales are encouraging, although we

highlight that bulk of this momentum was contributed by MMR which registered a 53% yoy

increase in sales to 36.6 mn sq. ft (Rs498 bn, +47% yoy) on the back of reduction in stamp

duty (2% for 3QFY21 and 3% for 4QFY21) on home purchases. Sales in NCR and Bengaluru

remained muted at 10.1 mn sq. ft (-22% yoy) and 15.6 mn sq. ft (-1.6% yoy), respectively.

Launches activity across India has remained weak at 25.6 mn sq. ft in January 2021. We

highlight launches in FY2021 (till Jan 2021) have been at 225 mn sq. ft as against 501 mn sq. ft

in FY2020. Consequently, outstanding inventory across the country stands reduced to 1.2 bn

sq. ft (-10% yoy) as of January 2021 and equivalent to 2.75 years of sales basis (based on

trailing 12-month sales). Average prices across India increased 5% yoy to Rs5,950 per sq. ft in

January 2021 (from Rs5,660 per sq. ft in January 2020) due to increase in realizations in

Bengaluru (+6% yoy) as well as higher contribution from MMR in overall sales.

Listed players to continue to cheer; 4QFY21 likely to be exciting quarter with planned launches

Listed players reported a strong quarter with gross sales of Rs76.6 bn in 3QFY21 (+47% yoy),

taking total sales in 9MFY21 to Rs155 bn (+6% yoy) compared to industry decline of 19% yoy

at Rs1.8 tn in 9MFY21. Market share (among top 3-cities) for the coverage universe was at

11.8% in 3QFY21 from 10.1% in 3QFY20. Bengaluru-based players, which reported record

sales in 3QFY21, are likely to report strong numbers in 4QFY21 as well with a large number of

planned launches. Sobha and Prestige plan to launch 3 mn sq. ft and 10 mn sq. ft, respectively

in 4QFY21. Property registration data for Mumbai and Maharashtra in 4QFY21 (till March 5,

2021) stands at 23K and 345K, respectively as against 36.8K and 524K in 3QFY21, suggestive

of another strong quarter for Mumbai-based players.

Favorable demand-supply dynamics make for a case of probable price increases

Larger real estate players are likely to expand their footprint as the ongoing consolidation

continues to weed out smaller players from the industry. A low interest rate regime leading to

improved affordability will continue to play its part in providing sales momentum, when seen in

the backdrop of weakening launch activity, and favorably positions the industry demand-supply

dynamics.

Recovery in development plays, relative to pure annuity investments, will likely lead to stocks

trading at a premium over their projected NAVs. We believe Bengaluru-based players are better

positioned to capitalize on the growth story in the sector and continue to like Sobha and

Brigade while Mumbai-based players Oberoi offers value at current price points.

Real Estate India

Real estate – state of the market. Residential real estate across India continues to see

healthy sales at 56 mn sq. ft (-7% yoy) even as launch activity remained weak at 25.6

mn sq. ft (-63% yoy) in Jan 2021. Aggregate of sales from our coverage universe saw

47% yoy increase in 3QFY21, compared to 19% yoy increase in all-India sales, reflecting

continued market share gains for the organized players. We remain constructive on real

estate stocks and view them as beneficiaries of continued consolidation in the sector.

by Greater Noida and Gurugram contributing 33% and 32% of sales, respectively, of

total sales of 3.8 mn sq. ft clocked in NCR while Noida contributed only 20% in January

2021.

Launches in NCR remained weak with only 1.9 mn sq. ft of new projects launched in

January 2021. We highlight Greater Noida houses 36% of unsold inventory at 70 mn sq.

ft in NCR followed by Gurugram (25%) and Noida (18%) at 49 mn sq. ft and 34.6 mn sq.

ft, respectively.

Net unsold residential inventory in NCR stood at 193.4 mn sq. ft as of January 2021,

declining by 9% yoy and equivalent to 6.2 years of sales (based on trailing 12 months).

Realizations in NCR remained flat at Rs6,130 per sq. ft in January 2021, reflective of a

flat/weak price trend on an overall basis.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). MMR showed the fastest recovery in sales

among all regions, clocking sales of 4.9 mn sq. ft in January 2021. Sales in 3QFY21

increased by 45% yoy to 39 mn sq. ft while TTM sales declined by 4% yoy. Recovery in

sales was primarily led by temporary relief on home purchases through a reduction in

stamp duty to 2% for the period September 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, and to 3%

from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. Launches in MMR remained at only 4.9 mn sq.

ft in January 2021 with Thane contributing over 55% of the launches.

Pick-up in sales in MMR in January 2021 was across regions barring Thane which

registered a decline of 10.4% yoy. Realizations in MMR increased by 6% yoy in January

2021 due to higher sales contribution from Mumbai even as each of constituent regions

witnessed flat price trends.

MMR is witnessing a sharper decline in inventory among all regions, although

outstanding inventory still remains the highest at 246 mn sq. ft as of January 2021 (down

from 288 mn sq. ft in January 2020).

Bengaluru. Bengaluru saw sales of 6.8 mn sq. ft against launches of 1.3 mn sq. ft in

January 2021. We highlight that launch activity in Bengaluru has remained weak over the

last one year and declined by 39% yoy to 33.7 mn sq. ft in TTM. Weakening launches, on

the back of strong sales momentum, has led to decline in outstanding inventory to 143

mn sq. ft (-8% yoy) by January 2021 and is equivalent to three years of sales (based on

trailing 12 months). Realizations increased by 6% yoy to Rs6,063 per sq. ft.

Hyderabad. Hyderabad saw sales of 5.2 mn sq. ft against launches of 0.5 mn sq. ft in

January 2021. Outstanding inventory declined to 85 mn sq. ft (-8% yoy) by January 2021

and is equivalent to 1.9 years of sales (based on trailing 12 months). Realizations

increased by 1% yoy to Rs5,754 per sq. ft.
