COVID-19 dampens the growth, situation improves in July VRL Logistics (VRLL) reported a weak topline in Q1FY21, as the
lockdowns and other headwinds put pressure on both goods and bus segments. Improvement seen in July on operational front.
Management highlighted the following: (1) Targets nominal profit in FY21E, PAT positive in July (2) No major capex for FY21 (3) Price hikes taken to offset volume fall. (3) Focus on client addition (4) Cost control measures taken like pay cuts (5) Improvement in availability of workers and drivers (6) Asked for rent waiver for April month (7) Utilisation to has improved from July onwards (8) Commodities like agri, food grains, pharma saw an uptake in volumes while textile witnessed a decline (9) Geographic wise bookings mix have not changed much- South largest with 40%. North and West seen growth.
We revised our FY21 estimates to nominal profit as indicated by the company vs our estimate of losses earlier. Expect recovery from H2FY21E with improvement in business segments. We maintain our fair value target to Rs 175 at 16x FY22 EPS and maintain Accumulate rating.
Bus segment reports miniscule revenues, Sharp fall in operating profit VRLL's Q1FY21 revenue growth declined 70% YoY, driven by Passenger segment degrowth of ~-95% YoY while Goods segment fell 65% YoY. Air charter segment too fell 79% YoY during the quarter. Goods segment witnessed 5% realization growth offset by sharp tonnage decline. No major bus movement during marriage season and vacation in schools resulted complete loss of revenues while closure of branches and scarcity in drivers and labors impacted the GT Segment. EBITDA reported the losses of Rs 339mn. Margins at -21% vs 16.5% YoY/11.4% QoQ. GT segment EBITDA stood at Rs 341mn loss, down while Bus segment/Air charter EBITDA too reported loss of Rs 23mn/Rs 11mn respectively. However, power sale reported Rs 34mn profit. Overall cost declined by 57% YoY/56% QoQ. Employee cost declined by 28% YoY/-30% QoQ on the back of salary cuts taken by middle and senior level employees. PAT reported a loss of Rs 627mn vs Rs 275mn profit YoY. Overall the company reduced 46 vehicles in Q1 vs 229 addition in Q4FY20. No major capex expected this year.

Maintain Accumulate We revised our FY21 estimates to nominal profit as indicated by the company vs our estimate of losses earlier. This is on the back of improvement in utilisation and opening of economy despite having relatively higher fix cost during lockdown. Expect recovery from H2FY21E with improvement in business segments. We maintain target of Rs 175 at 16x FY22 EPS and maintain Accumulate rating.

Topline falls 70%, Bottomline and EBITDA reports losses VRLL's Q1FY21 revenue growth declined 70% YoY, driven by Passenger segment degrowth of ~-95% YoY while Goods segment fell 65% YoY. Air charter segment too fell 79% YoY during the quarter. Goods segment witnessed 5% realization growth offset by sharp tonnage decline. No major bus movement during marriage season and vacation in schools resulted complete loss of revenues while closure of branches and scarcity in Drivers and labour impacted the GT Segment. EBITDA reported the losses of Rs 339mn. Margins at -21% vs 16.5% YoY/11.4% QoQ. GT segment EBITDA stood at Rs 341mn loss, down while Bus segment/Air charter EBITDA too reported loss of Rs 23mn/Rs 11mn respectively. However, power sale reported Rs 34mn profit. Overall cost declined by 57% YoY/56% QoQ. Employee cost declined by 28% YoY/-30% QoQ on the back of salary cuts taken by middle and senior level employees. Rent waiver of Rs 40mn during Q1. PAT reported a loss of Rs 627mn vs Rs 275mn profit YoY. Overall the company reduced 46 vehicles in Q1 vs 229 addition in Q4FY20.
GT realization up 5%YoY; Focus on client and new routes addition In Q1FY21, GT segment revenue declined 65% YoY/QOQ, driven by sharp decline in volumes offset by 5% YoY growth in realisation. The company saw the improvement in utilization. May saw 25-30% utilization which improved to 60-65% in June and 70-75% in July. During the quarter, the company faced the problem of scarcity in drivers and labour for material handling. Many drives deserted their post in order to reach to their native villages. Some were stopped by the authorities and were quarantined while some were stranded. The situation has improved from July onwards. The company has taken price hikes in order to mitigate overhead cost and offset the very low volumes. It continued to focus on client and new routes addition. It gained 6-8% market shares due to client addition. Overall volume volatility was higher in metro cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai where volumes were lower while improvement was seen in Delhi. Volumes from Karnataka were impacted due to lockdown. The company may evaluate the secondary trucks if they fit into their criteria. It is also saw volumes marginally tilting towards FTL vs LTL. Mix stood at 10:90%. MSME business is improving. It contributes ~35-40% of the business. Passenger segment: The lockdown impacted the segment hard with sharp fall of 95% YoY as none of passenger buses were operational during its busy season of marriage and vacation in schools resulting into resulting complete loss of revenues. Buses have resumed with numerous restriction. Utilisation has been improving but currently at 25-30% and may not foresee going above 40% in near term. The company may reduce the buses in near term. The segment reported the EBITDA loss of Rs 23mn vs profit of Rs205mn YoY/Rs65mn QoQ.
Other highlights (1) Total vehicle addition decline by 46 to 4708 vs 4754 QoQ. No change in bus segment but may come down in coming future. Overall vehicles stood at 5045 vs 4841 YoY/5091 QoQ (2) Procurement of Bio-fuel @ 31.03% of total quantity in Q1FY21 vs 31.42% YoY/18.37% QoQ. (3) ICRA Debt Rating is maintained A+ (stable). (4) Net debt stood at Rs 1.89Bn vs Rs 1.77Bn in FY20. (4) No capex for FY21(5) working capital limits are under strain and have approached the lenders for increase of these limits to which an in-principle consent has been provided by the Banks. (6) Cost cutting measures: (a) More focus on bio-diesel usage. (b) Pay cut by the middle and senior level employees, Salary cuts will result saving of Rs 10mn/ month. (c) change in maintenance schedule of GT vehicles will result some cost benefit. (7) Cloth remains the major commodity forming 12% now vs 15-16% in pre-COVID era followed by Agri (12% vs 3% pre covid) Foodgrains (12% vs 8%), Pharma products (7-8% vs 4-5% earlier). Pesticides (3%), and Machinery (6%) too reported the growth.
