Reported financials disappoint on lower execution

DLF reported revenues of Rs20.3 bn (-18% yoy, -20% qoq) and PAT of Rs2.6 bn (-45% yoy, -31% qoq) due to slowdown in execution (revenue recognition) as the company moved over to third-party contractors from in-house construction which caused associated delays. EBITDA came in at Rs8.2 bn (-30% yoy and qoq) while EBITDA margins dropped by 5.9% qoq and 7.1% yoy to 40.4% due to an increase in construction cost and other expenditure as a proportion of sales (53% versus 48% in 2QFY12 and 47% in 3QFY11). PAT also got impacted by increase in interest costs (average COD is now 12.75% on a debt of Rs250 bn) and lower interest capitalization of 25%.

Sales and deliveries have picked up and debt is marginally down qoq

DLF sold 3.3 mn sq. ft in 3QFY12 versus 1.3 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 and 2.5 mn sq. ft in 3QFY11 and the company has guided for a slow and cautious 4QFY12/1QFY13 due to high interest rates. DLF has plans to launch 9.25 mn sq. ft under plots, 6 mn sq. ft under group housing and 0.5 mn sq. ft of commercial space and has indicated that approvals for several micro-markets are already in place. DLF’s area under execution has declined to 45 mn sq. ft from 53 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 due to handovers of 10.5 mn sq. ft in the quarter. DLF’s handover of projects (both development and rental) in 3QFY12 is higher than total of FY2010 and FY2011 (9.2 mn sq. ft) and is now targeting to deliver >1.5 mn sq. ft in 4QFY12E and >12 mn sq. ft in FY2013E.

Asset sales release cash though debt reduction not as much as expected

DLF raised Rs12 bn through assets sales in 3QFY12 – (1) Rs7.9 bn from Noida and Pune IT Park, (2) Rs3.4 bn from FSI sales in Gurgaon and (3) Rs0.8 bn from other assets. Net debt, however, has only reduced by Rs4.9 bn as the company utilized (1) Rs4.5 bn in capex and land buying, (2) Rs1.2 bn to purchase Hilton stake in hotel JV and (3) Rs0.8 bn on new launches. DLF is now targeting Rs60 bn of asset sales by end-FY2013E from – (1) Aman Resorts (Rs20 bn), (2) Wind/utilities/miscellaneous (Rs20 bn) and (3) Chennai and Mumbai project disposal including Hindoostan Mills land (Rs35-40 bn).

DLF (DLFU)

Property

Right course but still in rough waters. We believe DLF is moving in the right direction with (1) aggressive asset sale plans and visible intent of sticking to core areas, (2) outsourcing of construction once again and (3) a pick-up in deliveries and sales. Key negatives include (1) weak revenue recognition, (2) a subdued demand (residential and office space) environment and (3) high D/E of 0.9X. We cut our FY2012E/13E/14E earnings by 19%/19%/15% and maintain ADD rating at a revised target price of Rs260/share (earlier Rs270) factoring delays in execution and revised debt estimates.

Operational performance

Development for sale. After declining to 1.3 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 (lowest since 4QFY09) sales picked up to 3.3 mn sq. ft versus 2.5 mn sq. ft in 3QFY11. The company has, however, guided for a cautious 4QFY12/1QFY13 due to high interest rates which is making buyers delay their purchases. Majority of the sales have happened from plotted development launches in 3QFY12 in Lucknow and Mullanpur, New Chandigarh. DLF is targeting to launch 9.25 mn sq. ft of plots, 6 mn sq. ft of group housing and 0.5 mn sq. ft of commercial projects and has indicated that it has approvals to launch in most of the target micro-markets. DLF is in a good position to scale up its launches once approvals are in place since – (1) it has embarked on a strategy to use third-party contractors and so scaling up should not be a problem and (2) area under execution has declined to 44.9 mn sq. ft from 52.5 mn sq. ft at end-2QFY12 as DLF has readied 10.5 mn sq. ft for handing over.

Lease portfolio. On a net basis, incremental leasing (including 2.4 mn sq. ft sold which was earlier meant to be leased) increased to 2.6 mn sq. ft versus 0.2 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 and 1.7 mn sq. ft in 3QFY11. DLF earned Rs 3.9 bn (Rs15.7 bn annualized) rental income from its retail and commercial offices in 3QFY12 which is steady qoq.

Execution. On the conference call, the company indicated that it is targeting 28 mn sq. ft of deliveries over the next two years. In 3QFY12, DLF handed over 10.5 mn sq. ft of projects (both development and rental) which is higher than FY2010 and FY2011 combined (9.2 mn sq. ft) and is targeting to deliver >1.5 mn sq. ft in 4QFY12E and >12 mn sq. ft in FY2013E. As a result of the deliveries in the quarter (readies 10.5 mn sq. ft for deliveries, adds 5 mn sq. ft of projects and suspends 2.2 mn sq. ft), area under execution has declined by 7.6 mn sq. ft qoq to 45 mn sq. ft which puts DLF in a good position to launch and add more projects to its portfolio from an execution angle.

Asset monetization. Non-core asset monetization yielded Rs12 bn in 3QFY12 versus Rs2.4 bn in 2QFY12 as the company raised - (1) Rs7.9 bn from Noida and Pune IT Park, (2) Rs3.4 bn from FSI sales in Gurgaon and (3) Rs0.8 bn. DLF is now targeting Rs60 bn of asset sales by end-FY2013 from – (1) Aman Resorts (Rs20 bn), Wind/utilities/miscellaneous (Rs20 bn) and (3) Chennai and Mumbai project disposal including Hindoostan Mills land (Rs35-40 bn). The management has indicated that the company is in advanced talks for the sale of Aman Resorts and several buyers are waiting for global conditions to improve/stabilize before taking a decision.

Land bank. DLF’s land bank has now been declining since 3QFY10 and now stands at 349 mn sq. ft (due to land sales, handovers, business proposition changes from group housing to plotted which has a lower FSI).

DLF’s average cost of debt is now at 12.75% on a gross debt of Rs250 bn out of which Rs12 bn is linked to rental properties and likely funded through lease rental inflows. Net fixed assets declined by Rs6.3 bn due to sale of the IT Parks in Pune and Noida. Loans and advances have increased by Rs4.3 bn as the company had to pay Rs1-1.5 bn while shifting to third party contractors and tax outflow connected to properties under litigation (taxes on SEZs) have been classified under loans and advances.

Changes to our model – maintain ADD at a revised target price of Rs260/share

We make the following changes to our model –

Delay execution in projects noting (1) delay in launches, (2) the shift over to third-party contractors from in-house construction which implies projects were likely delayed than earlier expected.

Increase gross debt to Rs260 bn for FY2012E from Rs235 bn earlier.

We are cutting our revenues and earnings estimate by 12%/15%/16% and 19%/19%/15% for FY2012E/13E/14E respectively.

Better-than-expected EBITDA led by lower operating costs; net income boosted by lower DD&A

OIL reported 3QFY12 EBITDA of `14.3 bn (-27% qoq and +8.8% yoy), 11% higher than our estimate of `12.9 bn. 3QFY12 reported net income was `10.1 bn (-16.2% qoq and +11.7% yoy), 15.5% higher than our estimate of `8.8 bn. The positive variance against our estimates reflects (1) higher-than-expected oil and gas sales volumes, (2) lower staff costs and other expenditure and (3) lower DD&A expenses. The qoq decline in net income reflects (1) lower net realized price of US$57/bbl (-US$29.3/bbl qoq) and (2) a sharp decline in DD&A expense to `2.9 bn (-51% qoq).

Stock trades at 2.9X FY2012E EBITDA despite assuming a conservative subsidy burden

We highlight that OIL stock trades at an inexpensive 2.9X FY2012E EBITDA of `68 bn, out of which the company reported `58 bn in 9MFY12. Besides, we have modeled a fairly conservative scenario of upstream companies bearing 45% of gross under-recoveries of `1.4 tn in FY2012E versus actual sharing of ~38% in 9MFY12. We note that OIL has a large net cash balance of `552/share (as of September 30, 2011). More important, OIL continues to perform well operationally with its 9MFY12 crude sales volumes growing 9% yoy and gas sales volumes jumping 19% yoy. We note that OIL’s volume trajectory is better than ONGC’s.

Maintain BUY with a target price of `1,750 (`1,720 previously)

We maintain our BUY rating on the stock with a revised target price of `1,750 (`1,720 previously) based on 9X FY2013E EPS plus value of investments, potential upside of 32% from current levels. We find OIL’s valuations attractive with the stock trading at 9X FY2012E EPS and 7X FY2013E EPS. The earnings are rather depressed given higher subsidy burden assumed by us.

Revise earnings for FY2012-14E

We have revised our FY2012-14 EPS estimates to `146 (-5.4%), `190 (+1.6%) and `219 (+14.2%) respectively to reflect (1) higher subsidy sharing by upstream companies, (2) higher crude price assumptions, (3) revised exchange rates and (4) other minor changes. We have assumed that upstream companies will bear 45% of total under-recoveries in FY2012 and 50% in FY2013-14 versus 37.9% in 9MFY12 and 38.7% in FY2011.

Oil India (OINL)

Energy

Country cousin steals a march. OIL reported better-than-expected net income of `10.1 bn (-16% qoq and +12% yoy) in 3QFY12 versus our estimate of `8.8 bn, led by (1) higher oil and gas sales volumes, (2) lower operating costs and (3) lower DD&A expenses. The company reported EPS (adjusted) of `128 in 9MFY12, higher than FY2011 EPS of `120. We reiterate our BUY rating on OIL with a revised target price of `1,750 (`1,720 previously) noting (1) attractive valuations with the stock trading at 9X FY2012E EPS and (2) strong long-term growth prospects.

A sharp decline in net realized price for crude oil. OIL’s 3QFY12 net realized crude price was US$57bbl versus US$86.3/bbl in 2QFY12 and US$67.1/bbl in 3QFY11. OIL’s subsidy burden in 3QFY12 was `18.5 bn or US$53.1/bbl in crude price oil equivalent terms versus crude price equivalent of US$26.2/bbl in 2QFY12 and US$18.5/bbl in 3QFY11.

Oil and gas sales volumes increase yoy. 3QFY12 gas sales volume increased 13.6% yoy and 0.2% qoq to 544 mcm (equivalent of 5.9 mcm/d). 3QFY12 crude sales volume increased 4.1% yoy and declined 1.7% qoq to 0.95 mn tons.

Lower employee cost. OIL’s employee cost declined 25.4% qoq and 8.9% yoy to `2.6 bn in 3QFY12. The employee cost in 3QFY12 includes a provision of `192 mn due to differential superannuation benefits to employees versus `376 mn accounted in the previous quarter.

Other expenditure declines. OIL’s other expenditure declined 12.5% qoq and 15.9% yoy to `1.5 bn.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 13

Lower DD&A expenses qoq. DD&A expenses declined sharply by 51.1% qoq to `2.9 bn (+27.7% yoy). The sharp qoq decline in DD&A expenses represents lower write-off of dry wells and provisions, which declined to `1.5 bn (-68.3% qoq and +55.6% yoy). We note that the company made a provision of ~`4 bn in 2QFY12 to cover prospective liabilities related to Minimum Work Program (MWP) requirements for its NELP blocks.

Other income declines qoq. OIL’s adjusted other income declined by 17.5% qoq to `3.8 bn (+35.4% yoy). We note that reported other income in 2QFY12 included pipeline revenues of `1.4 bn for FY2008-11 due to revision in forward pumping transportation tariff effective from April 2008.

Additional interim dividend and bonus issue. OIL’s Board declared a second interim dividend of `10/share in addition to the interim dividend of `25/share paid earlier. The Board has also recommended a bonus issue of 3:2 scheduled to be completed by April 10, 2012, subject to shareholder approval.

Subsidy amount. We model a subsidy amount for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 of `74.1 bn, `53.4 bn and `33.6 bn respectively. We assume that upstream companies will bear 45% of gross under-recoveries in FY2012 and 50% in FY2013-14 versus 37.9% in 9MFY12 and 38.7% in FY2011. We assume (1) moderate price increases in diesel, kerosene and LPG, and (2) lower crude oil prices, which result in gross under-recoveries declining to `921 bn in FY2013E versus `1.4 tn in FY2012E. We model OIL bearing 12.2% of the subsidy burden on upstream companies in FY2012 and ~12% in FY2013-14 versus 12.1% in 9MFY12. We assume a modest decline in OIL’s share in FY2013-14 due to an increase in GAIL’s share, given a lower proportion of under-recoveries on diesel in the overall under-recoveries over the next two years, led by lower crude prices.

Oil and gas volumes. We model crude oil sales volumes of 3.83 mn tons in FY2012, 3.91 mn tons in FY2013 and 3.98 mn tons in FY2014 versus a run-rate of 3.84 mtpa in 9MFY12 and 3.6 mn tons in FY2011. We model gas volumes at 5.8 mcm/d for FY2012, 6 mcm/d in FY2013 and 6.5 mcm/d in FY2014 versus 5.8 mcm/d in 9MFY12 and 5 mcm/d for FY2011. Implementation of EOR/IOR techniques in OIL’s existing producing fields will contribute to higher volumes. We note that OIL’s 2P reserves are meaningfully higher than its 1P reserves (see Exhibit 4 for details of OIL’s reserves), which offers OIL scope to increase its production volumes significantly from current levels.

Crude oil price assumption. We have assumed higher crude oil (Dated Brent) prices for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 at US$113/bbl, US$105/bbl and US$100/bbl respectively versus US$110/bbl, US$100/bbl and US$95/bbl previously. However, we would focus more on OIL’s net realized crude price and our long-term crude price assumption. Exhibit 5 gives OIL’s historical net realized price and our expectations for FY2012 (US$58/bbl), FY2013 (US$67.8/bbl) and FY2014 (US$76.7/bbl).

The lower net realization for FY2012E (US$58/bbl) versus 9MFY12’s US$67.3/bbl reflects our assumption of higher subsidy burden on upstream companies at 45% of gross under-recoveries in FY2012E.

Natural gas price assumption. We assume FY2012-14 natural gas price at US$4.2/mn BTU.

INR-USD exchange rate. We have revised our exchange rate assumptions for FY2012, FY2013 and FY2014 to `48/US$, `50.5/US$ and `50/US$ respectively versus `48.7/US$, `52.5/US$ and `51/US$ previously.

Consolidated operations hit by write-offs in the coal business

TPWR reported standalone revenue of Rs21.6 bn (35% yoy, 16% qoq), operating profit of Rs3.8 bn (39% yoy, 15% qoq) and adjusted net profit of Rs2.5 bn (70% yoy, -20% qoq) in 3QFY12 against our estimates of Rs20.3 bn, Rs3.5 bn and Rs2.5 bn respectively. TPWR posted consolidated revenues of Rs66.5 bn (51% yoy, 6% qoq), operating profit of Rs9.9 bn (-4% yoy, -27% qoq) and adjusted net profit of Rs2 bn (-50% yoy, -45% qoq) in 3QFY12. Despite robust volume and realization in the coal business (aided further by currency depreciation), consolidated profitability was dented by a Rs6.5 bn write-off of deferred stripping costs in the coal business.. We discuss key highlights of the performance subsequently.

Bumi guidance of 80-85 mn tons production in CY2012, ramp-up to 100 mn tons by CY2013

According to media reports, Bumi Resources’ guidance is for production of 80-85 mn tons in CY2012 from 63 mn tons in CY2011—to be subsequently ramped up to 100 mn tons from KPC and Arutmin (mines in which TPWR has effective stake of 30%) by CY2013E. As we highlighted in our note dated August 24, 2011, “Revisiting the coal equation”, higher production at coal mines is crucial for TPWR to absorb losses at Mundra and maximize benefits of higher coal prices. We note that our estimates factor 70 mn tons in FY2013 and sustainable volumes of 80 mn tons. Higher-than-estimated production volumes at Bumi could be the key upside to earnings and a strong catalyst for the stock.

Mundra losses contained through low costs, better tariffs could be a strong trigger

Our interactions with industry sources and power and coal companies highlighted increased deliberations on a way to compensate power producers with fixed-price tariffs for the increased cost of imported coal. While we are skeptical about such an arrangement coming through, the same could be significantly beneficial for TPWR. We are however more optimistic about prospects of blending low-grade Indonesian coal available at 10-30% lower energy-adjusted value to help to contain generation costs. The management indicated that it was successfully blending low-grade coal during the first few days of operations at Mundra.

Tata Power (TPWR)

Utilities

Coal production ramps up, low cost coal gives Mundra hope. An aggressive production ramp-up at the Indonesian mines could tilt the equation between losses at Mundra and profitability of coal mines in favor of the latter. Contained losses at Mundra through low cost coal or compensation through tariffs could significantly alter the earnings profile. We maintain our BUY rating and target price of Rs125 as ownership of resources and stable utility business better insulate TPWR from macro-risks affecting the power sector.

Maintain BUY rating with a target price of Rs125

We like TPWR’s core distribution business, which earns a stable return and is insulated from risks of deteriorating financial health of SEBs. Further, potential blending of low-grade coal could reduce losses at Mundra and could be a key upside to our estimates. We have revised our FY2012 EPS estimate downwards by 32% to account for a write-off in the coal business in 3QFY12.

Standalone: reported net income boosted by forex gain

TPWR reported standalone revenue of Rs21.6 bn (35% yoy, 16% qoq), operating profit of Rs3.8 bn (39% yoy, 15% qoq) and adjusted net profit of Rs2.5 bn (70% yoy, -20% qoq) in 3QFY12 compared with our estimates of Rs20.3 bn, Rs3.5 bn and Rs2.5 bn respectively. Net income miss of 27% was mainly due to (1) higher-than-estimated depreciation due to capitalization of wind capacities, (2) lower other income and (3) higher taxes on account of deferred taxes arising out of commissioning of wind capacities.

We highlight some key details of the 3QFY12 standalone results:

TPWR’s gross generation was 3,970 MU (7% yoy, 5% qoq) and total unit sales were 3,922 MU (3% yoy, 3% qoq). Generation in Mumbai license area increased 16% yoy driven by (1) higher hydro generation and (2) conversion of Unit 8 to regulated capacity from merchant capacity earlier. Total sales in Mumbai area increased by 10% yoy to 2,901 MU.

During the quarter, fuel cost increased 15% sequentially to Rs3.6/kwh likely due to currency depreciation.

TPWR sold 218 MU in the short-term market at an average realization of Rs3.4/kwh. We note that all the merchant sales came from Haldia since Unit 8 at Trombay was converted to regulated capacity (as highlighted above).

The effective tax rate increased to 44% in 3QFY12 primarily on account of deferred tax arising out of commissioning of wind capacities.

20 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH

Reported net income of Rs4.2 bn includes forex gain of Rs2.7 bn, mainly due to a retrospective (effective April 2011) change in accounting policy to capitalize forex gain/loss arising out of revaluation of long-term foreign currency monetary items. We note that as per the previous policy (such forex gain/losses being carried through P&L), forex loss for the quarter would have been Rs1.7 bn.

Consolidated: profitability hit by write-off of deferred stripping costs

TPWR reported consolidated revenues of Rs66.5 bn (51% yoy, 6% qoq), operating profit of Rs9.9 bn (-4% yoy, -27% qoq) and adjusted net profit of Rs2 bn (-50% yoy, -45% qoq) in 3QFY12. Despite robust volume and realization in the coal business (aided further by currency depreciation), consolidated profitability was dented by (1) a Rs6.5 bn write-off of deferred stripping costs in one of the coal companies (KPC), (2) unscheduled outage of the generation plant for Delhi distribution and (3) losses at Maithon.

We note that during the quarter, KPC, in light of uncertainty involved in estimated strip ratio, wrote off the entire stripping cost accumulated over years. We note that adjustment from stripping costs would henceforth be done only in Arutmin.

Reported net income of Rs2.6 bn includes a forex gain of Rs3.9 bn, mainly due to a retrospective (effective April 2011) change in accounting policy to capitalize forex gain/loss arising out of revaluation of long-term foreign currency monetary items. We note that as per the previous policy (such forex gain/losses being carried through P&L), forex loss for the quarter would have been Rs1.7 bn. Further, reported net income also includes Rs1.6 bn of provision for impairment of assets of the Mundra project.

We discuss below performance of businesses in detail

Coal: robust volume and realizations, margins dented

TPWR’s coal business reported volumes of 17.5 mn tons (9.5% yoy, 9.5% qoq) and realization of US$95/ton (30% yoy, flat qoq) and cash cost declined sequentially from US$46/ton to US$40.9/ton. The management attributed the reduction in cash costs to automation capex being carried out in coal mines and expects the full impact to flow in from September 2011.

We note that during the quarter, KPC, in light of uncertainty involved in estimates of strip ratio, wrote down the entire stripping cost (Rs6.5 bn) accumulated over years. We note that adjustment from stripping cost would henceforth be done only for Arutmin.

Delhi distribution

TPWR’s Delhi distribution reported revenues of Rs10.6 bn (35% yoy, -39% qoq), operating profit of Rs1.3 bn (41% yoy, -26% qoq) and PAT of Rs304 mn (-13% yoy, -65% qoq). The decline in PAT was primarily on account of unscheduled outage of generation assets. The management indicated that at current costs, once the tariff hike is carried out (as per automatic adjustment to be carried out with a lag of a quarter), NDPL would operationally break even.

Maithon: still stabilizing operational efficiencies

Maithon reported revenues of Rs1 bn, operating loss of Rs1 mn and losses before taxes of Rs858 mn. Loss at Maithon was mainly due to (1) higher fuel and O&M cost on account of stabilization of unit 1, (2) lower PLFs due to unavailability of coal during 3QFY12. The management has highlighted that Unit 1 has completely stabilized and coal supply has ramped up and is stable. The management’s guidance for synchronization of the second unit is 4QFY12.

Core expansion promising

IDFC reported PAT of Rs3.8 bn, up 19% yoy but 6% below estimates. Growth in net operating income was strong at 15% yoy and 7% above estimates on the back of 25% loan growth and higher capital gains. While provisions were higher than expected, PBT was up 19% yoy and 1% below estimates.

Loans grow well

IDFC reported a loan book of Rs439 bn, up 25% yoy and 12% qoq. Gross disbursements increased by 16% yoy and 60% qoq to Rs58 bn. Repayment rate (repayments/opening loan book) declined to 3% for the quarter from 5% in 2QFY12 and 13% in 3QFY11. Notably, repayment rate in 3QFY12 was the lowest in the past four years. We believe that the competitive scenario has been favorable as most public banks (primarily SBI) currently charge higher interest rates on infrastructure loans as compared to IDFC.

Loans to telecom sector have increased by 31% yoy and 22% qoq. Telecom was the biggest growth driver accounting for 43% of qoq loan book accretion. This was followed by transportation at 30%. The management has highlighted that most of their telecom exposure is towards top three telecom companies.

Approvals were up 108% yoy and down 5% qoq. Most of the approvals are likely for refinancing, and general business activity in the sector was low during the quarter.

NIM improves marginally

IDFC reported NIM (as per KS estimates) of 4.5% as compared to 4.3% in 2QFY12 and 3QFY11.

The share of bonds increased to 65% of total borrowings from 53% in 2QFY12, short-tem loans increased to 12% from 10% qoq while bank loan declined to 10% from 25% for the same period.

IDFC (IDFC)

Banks/Financial Institutions

Growth strong, core in line. IDFC’s 3QFY12 performance was broadly as per our expectations. Highlights to focus on are—(1) loan growth accelerated to 25% from 15% in 2QFY12 and (2) NPLs inched up marginally. NIMs were somewhat ahead of expectations but fees were lower. Higher-than-expected provisions and tax rate pulled down reported earnings. We will revisit our estimates and target price after the conference call with the management.

Fees below expectations, capital gains high

Despite the traction in loan growth, IDFC booked lower loan-related fees—Rs300 mn, down from Rs480 mn in 2QFY12. While income from asset management was almost stable, IDFC Capital’s income was weak largely due to sharp decline in broking income even as investment banking income increased qoq.

During the quarter, IDFC sold 25% stake in IDFC AMC. Consequently, the company booked capital gains of Rs910 mn.

NPLs and provisions increase

IDFC’s gross NPLs inched up by Rs700 mn to 0.33% from 0.22%. The management highlighted that the slippage does not pertain to core infrastructure sectors like energy, transportation or telecom.

IDFC reported provisions of Rs978 mn, up from Rs631 in 2QFY12. This comprised excess provisions of Rs400 mn, specific provisions of Rs100 mn and provisions on equity/other fees etc. of Rs470 mn.

3QFY12 consolidated results below expectations

RCOM reported a disappointing set of numbers for the Dec 2011 quarter. Consolidated revenues at Rs50.5 bn (flat qoq, +1% yoy) missed our estimate by 3.7% while EBITDA at Rs16.1 bn (flat qoq, down 3.4% yoy) missed expectations by 6.2%. Net income of Rs1.9 bn (down 26% qoq and 61% yoy) came in ahead of our estimated Rs1.3 bn on the back of (1) depreciation write-back at one of the subsidiaries, RTL, driven by change in accounting policy; this aided PBT to the tune of Rs3.1 bn, and (2) lower-than-expected net finance cost – this line item continues to remain difficult to forecast, in any case (see Exhibit 3). We note that RCOM would have reported a net loss but for the depreciation write-back. ETR remained low at 5.5%.

Operational performance weak across segments

Wireless – revenues of Rs44.5 bn (+0.7% qoq, +9.4% yoy) missed our estimate by 2.6%. EBITDA of Rs11.8 bn (flat qoq as well as yoy) came in 4% below expectations. EBITDA margin was flat qoq. Network traffic grew a modest 1% qoq (weak in the context of strong seasonality), while RPM was flat qoq at Rs0.446/min. We note that RCOM’s voice RPM continues to be substantially lower than the GSM incumbents as the company’s non-voice revenues (as % of revenues) are at least 6-7% points higher and overall RPM similar. ARPU and MOU both came down 1.4% qoq to Rs100 and 224 per sub per month, respectively.

Global Enterprise – revenues were flat qoq and down 7.5% yoy at Rs23.5 bn while EBITDA declined 8.6% yoy (flat qoq) to Rs5.7 bn. Margins were flat qoq as well as yoy at a little over 24%. The company saw sequential decline in both NLD as well as ILD volumes while it stopped disclosing its Fixed-Line/ Broadband ARPU.

‘Others segment’ – revenues fell sharply (19% qoq and 26% yoy) to Rs2.3 bn. DTH forms a major part of this segment and we presume the revenue weakness reflects loss of market share (loss of subs, possibly) in this segment.

Reliance Communications (RCOM)

Telecom

Weak results but do they matter? RCOM reported a weak set of numbers for the Dec 2011 quarter with revenues and EBITDA missing our estimates by a good margin. Depreciation write-back on account of change in accounting policy at one of the subsidiaries helped the company stay in the black at the net income level. We cut estimates, maintain TP at Rs60 and reiterate SELL. Nonetheless, the stock could continue to trade ahead of fundamentals in anticipation of positive news flow as it has in the recent past. To that extent, the fundamental challenges and expensive valuations may not matter much till the anticipated events are out or the market loses patience.

3-years out, has pan-India GSM expansion delivered for RCOM? Why is this important?

We compare RCOM’s consolidated/wireless financials and wireless operational metrics for Dec 2008 quarter (the last quarter before they completed their pan-India GSM expansion in Jan 2009) to the latest reported quarter (Dec 2011) or on some parameters to Sep 2011 quarter (as industry data is available only till Sep 2011) to assess the success of RCOM’s pan-India GSM pursuit. We would let the chart (Exhibit 1 below) do the talking.

From an industry perspective, we would only note that substantial capital infusion and/or market disruption (and RCOM did disrupt the market with its Simply Reliance plan) do not necessarily form a winning strategy. We are not suggesting it is possible to succeed without either of the two; however, it is an extremely risky pursuit. We mention this in light of increased concern we have noticed in some sections of the Street that a deep-pocketed player or two could participate in the upcoming 2G spectrum auctions and/or buy one of the challengers out and be the new ‘market disruptor’. Unlike 2008, we now have several case studies of challengers who have tried creating a viable business model using the aforementioned capital+disruption combination without much success (at least in our view). These, in our view, should (and likely would) be a key input for anybody wanting to pursue a disruption strategy to gain foothold in the Indian wireless market and build a viable business model on top of the same.

Cut estimates; retain TP of Rs60/share. Reiterate SELL

Exhibit 2 gives the key changes to our FY2012-14E financial model for RCOM. Our revised EBITDA estimates for FY2012E, 13E, and 14E stand at Rs65 bn, Rs73 bn, and Rs81 bn, respectively, down 3.5-8.2% versus our earlier forecasts. EPS estimate for FY2012E goes up to Rs3.93 on account of lower-than-earlier estimated net finance costs and ETR. We however reduce our FY2013E and FY2014E EPS estimate by 59.8% and 30.1% to Rs1.04 and Rs3.87, respectively. We reiterate SELL with an unchanged target price of Rs60/share.

Other potential corporate developments – in the price largely; margin of safety low

Even as we refrain from commenting on the likelihood or quantifying the impact of some of potential positive developments (tower deal with RIL, tower sale to PE players, more material collaboration with RIL) keeping the market excited about RCOM, we do believe that the current valuations (7.2X FY2013E EV/EBITDA) more than price in the upside from such developments. We see little margin of safety. We also note that potential regulatory negatives like high spectrum renewal pricing, spectrum refarming etc. impact RCOM as well – an aspect largely ignored by the Street preoccupied with worrying about the impact of the same on Bharti and Idea.

NII growth subdued at 4% yoy

STFC reported NII growth of 4% yoy in 3QFY12 to Rs8 bn on the back of 16% loan growth and compression in NIM (according to our calculations): 8.3% versus 8.9% in 2QFY12. Notably, the company has regrouped its securitization income (the securitization income is now net of operating expenses).

STFC reported 4% decline in disbursements to Rs49 bn during the quarter. While the pre-owned segment grew by 14%, new vehicles finance declined sharply by 50% yoy.

With increase in activity in the market for priority sector assets from NBFCs, STFC sold Rs33 bn of loans to banks during the quarter. The management expects loan sell-down to remain strong in the next quarter as well though this would be much lower that Rs61 bn of loans sold down in 4QFY11.

NIM (according to our calculations) declined to 8.3% from 8.9% in previous quarter and 9.4% in 3QFY11, likely due to higher borrowings cost. The management has highlighted that it faces increased competition from banks and other NBFCs that are gradually focusing more on pre-owned CVs though at the lower-end (5-7 years old vehicles).

Other highlights

Gross NPLs increased by 2% qoq to Rs6.7 bn. Gross NPL ratio was 2.8% as compared to 2.7% in September 2011. The management made write-offs of Rs200 mn from its portfolio of CVs deployed in the mining industry. In light of the challenging business environment for CV operators (due to a slowing economy), STFC has already tightened its underwriting practices and reduced maximum loan-to-value ratio. The management highlighted that in October, the scope of procuring freight business in the return trip (for CV operators) had declined sharply; this was a cause of concern. However, a bumper winter crop helped deployment of trucks in November and December.

Operating expenses increased by 7% yoy. The company has shifted its focus to cost control from growth.

Shriram Transport (SHTF)

Banks/Financial Institutions

A flat quarter. Shriram Transport (STFC) reported PAT of Rs3 bn, flat yoy and qoq. Truck assets under management increased by 16% yoy but lower NIM pulled down net operational income growth to 4%. NPLs increased marginally to 2.8% from 2.7% qoq. We are reducing our estimates to factor lower NII and higher credit cost.

Construction equipment finance business grows rapidly

STFC’s construction equipment finance subsidiary has reported a loan book of Rs15 bn from Rs9 bn in June and Rs13 bn in September 2011. The company proposes to scale up to Rs20 bn by March 2012. The company has already been capitalized with an equity base of Rs2.6 bn.

Revise earnings

We are reducing our earnings estimates by 5% for FY2012E and 2% for FY2013E to factor lower margins and growth in business. Key assumptions in our earnings model include:

Moderate growth, lower margins. We expect STFC to deliver 14% loan growth in FY2012E (unchanged) and 17% loan growth in FY2013E (down from 19% earlier). STFC has recently tightened its lending norms (increased minimum loan-to-value ratio) in order to check asset quality performance in a challenging business environment. This has partially driven revision in growth estimates.

We are reducing our NIM estimates by 20-40 bps. We now model NIM of 8.5% and 8.6% for FY2012E and FY2013E as compared to 9.5%, 8.6% and 8.1% for FY2011, FY2010 and FY2009, respectively.

Higher provisions for FY2012E. We are now modeling credit cost of 2% of average AUMs for FY2012E and 1.9% for FY2013E as compared to credit cost of 1.4-1.7% between FY2008 and FY2011.

Lower opex as well. We are reducing our operating expenses by 11-12% to factor lower traction in business momentum. The ratio of operating expenses to average AUMs will decline to 1.8% and 1.9% for FY2012E and FY2013E as compared to 2.1-2.5% over the past four years.

Impending regulatory changes and impact on STFC: Our views

We await three key regulatory developments with regards to NBFCs:

Clarity on recognition of priority sector classification for loans sold to banks. RBI has appointed a committee of bankers to review the entire framework of priority sector loans. The committee will debate the framework of outsourcing loans from NBFCs.

We find marginal (20-30 bps) decline to NIM estimates in case RBI imposes restrictions on STFC (and other NBFCs) to sell down priority sector loans to banks. While the issues are still under the regulatory scanner, we believe that banks will continue to outsource priority sector loans from NBFCs albeit with KYC restrictions. As such, the economics for loan sell-down transactions for NBFCs will be lower.

Finalization of revised draft securitization guidelines. Among other proposals, the guidelines propose that losses on loan sell-down transactions will be shared by banks and NBFCs on a pro-rata basis. However, the guidelines provide for a ‘first loss structure’ in case of securitization transactions. As such, we expect securitization transactions to pick up (and replace bilateral loan sell-down) if these guidelines are implemented.

The guidelines also propose risk weight of 1,111% on first loss above 10% of loan pool. We don’t find significant near-term impact on capitalization levels of STFC given its current Tier-I ratio of 17% and moderate growth estimates in the near term.

RBI NBFC committee report. The report proposes that (1) NBFCs should have minimum Tier-I ratio of 12% and (2) NBFCs should follow NPL recognition on 3-month past due basis (like banks) versus 6 months earlier.

If implemented, we don’t find significant impact on capitalization in the near term (as highlighted above). However, we find about 7-8% downside to our estimates if the (1) NPL norms are tightened to 3-month past due basis and (2) STFC continues to maintain the current levels of provision coverage. We expect NPLs to increase to 4.5% levels from about 2.5%, if STFC has to migrate to the more stringent norm.

Life insurance: APE remains weak

Reliance Life reported 15% decline in APE collections in 3QFY12 against a 54% decline in 2QFY12. Notably, the new IRDA regime was implemented in September 2010 and 3QFY11 was the first quarter in the regime. Thus, the base effect of the new regime has fully played out. Traditional business contributed over half the incremental collection.

The conservation ratio (ratio of renewal premium to new and renewal premium collected last year) improved to 64% from 59% in 2QFY12.

The company has not reported NBAP margins for the quarter but expects reported NBAP margins to decline to 15% in FY2012 (from 17% in FY2011). Reliance Life reported marginal profit during the quarter, a surplus of about Rs2.6 bn. The policyholders’ accounts accrued over the past nine months will be consolidated by the end of the financial year.

Reliance Life concluded a deal with Nippon Life and the life business was valued at Rs115 bn. While the transaction is complete, the management highlighted that capital gains would be realized by the parent in the next quarter. Reliance Capital holds 100% economic stake in the life business. The investment in the life business has been made by Reliance Capital through its own balance sheet and affiliate companies, Viscount Management and Viscount Management Alpha. Viscount Management Alpha is likely to be merged with Reliance Capital in 4QFY12. Thus, Reliance Capital will directly hold 54% stake in the company, and the rest by Viscount Management and Nippon Life.

NBFC: Higher borrowing costs pull down earnings

RCAP’s retail lending loan book was up to Rs142 bn (3% qoq, 33% yoy). Sharp growth in mortgages (42% yoy), autos (59% yoy) and CV (33% yoy) drove growth.

Reliance Capital (RCAPT)

Banks/Financial Institutions

A mixed quarter. Reliance Capital reported mixed performance in 3QFY12. Key highlights of the quarter were: (1) lower APE growth and AUM decline in the life insurance business though earnings were strong, (2) AUM of mutual funds were down 12% qoq, and (3) the general insurance business continued to report losses. The recently concluded deal with Nippon Life will reduce debt and improve profitability. We retain our target price of Rs470, ADD. We believe developments at the ADA Group and simplification of intra-group holdings will be key catalysts to stock performance.

Overall earnings were lower yoy – PBT of Rs651 mn in 3QFY12 against Rs793 mn in 3QFY11 due to lower other income and higher borrowing costs. Gross NPLs increased to Rs2.1 bn from Rs1.8 bn in September and Rs1.5 bn in June. We expect provisioning expenses for the year to decline sharply (0.55% of loans in 2012E compared with 3.3% of loans in 2011) largely due to running down on the personal loan book.

Weak market pulls down AUMs of asset management business

RCAM reported 12% qoq and 16% yoy decline in mutual fund AUMs. PBT margins improved to 45% from 40% in 2QFY12.

During the quarter, Nippon Life agreed to pick up 26% stake in Reliance Asset Management Company for Rs15 bn. This values the business at Rs57 bn: 7% of AUMs in December 2012. The deal requires the approval of regulators.

Reliance Money and Securities: earnings improve

Reliance Securities reported PBT of Rs37 mn vis-à-vis Rs22 mn in 2QFY12 and Rs71 mn in 2QFY12. While its volumes were almost stable, broking yield improved marginally to 5 bps from 4.5 bps a quarter earlier.

Reliance Money (R-Money) reported PBT of Rs84 mn against Rs21 mn in 2QFY12. The financials of R-Money represent the earnings of the distribution business- wealth management (distribution of mutual funds, life insurance etc), money transfer agency and distribution of gold coins. Reliance Money is the largest distributor for Western India Money Transfer. Gold coins are distributed through the India Post network. The management is positive about steady growth from its current base though its reported financials have been weak over the past few quarters.

Retain target price of Rs470, ADD

We are reducing our estimates for FY2012 and FY2013 to factor higher borrowing costs. We have not yet taken cognizance of capital gains (estimated at Rs21 bn before tax) from the deal with Nippon Life in our estimates. The management has highlighted that proceeds from the deal would be used by the parent to reduce debt in the company and would hence help to boost NIM.

We value the contribution of the life insurance business at 2X invested capital, which is 10% NBAP margins and 13.6X NBV FY2013E after 20% holding company discount.

Key highlights of the 3QFY12 results

Standalone PAT was Rs152 mn versus Rs93 mn in 2QFY12 and Rs46 mn in 3QFY11. The company merged the NBFC subsidiaries in the parent company in 4QFY11 and hence the yoy financials are not comparable. No capital gains, high borrowings cost, high tax liability (reasons not clear) have pulled down earnings.

Reliance Capital reported consolidated PAT of Rs1.03 bn against Rs1.54 bn in 3QFY11 and Rs723 mn in 2QFY12.

Robust 3QFY12 results led by new films and library income contribution

We provide the details of Eros’ 3QFY12 financial but highlight an important point: the performance of a film studio is not just a function of hit:flop ratio of its film slate, but also the timing of release as well as the timing of booking of library income (a couple of deals on an annual basis). Therefore, the performance is best-monitored on an annual basis than on a quarterly basis given its dynamic/volatile nature.

Eros reported strong 3QFY12 EBIT at Rs1 bn (+62% yoy), ahead of our Rs0.7 bn estimate, led by (1) robust financial performance of its Hindi film slate (RA.One, Rockstar and Desi Boyz) and (2) partial booking of library income in 3QFY12 (favorable base given Eros booked significant library income in 2QFY11) with more to come in 4QFY12E.

The film business also has some seasonality element given festival season and New Year (in 3Q) are considered good periods for film release (more number of holidays); therefore, 9MFY12 performance is more relevant. Eros reported 9MFY12 EBIT of Rs1.78 bn (+25% yoy) led by increase in number of films released (notably Hindi) as well as improved average performance of films (structural given improved BO and C&S TV prospects but also cyclical given Eros has witnessed an improved hit:flop ratio so far in FY2012E).

Retain BUY rating with FY2013E target price of Rs270 (unchanged)

Retain BUY with FY2013E fair value of Rs270 (unchanged); we leave the FY2012E-13E EPS estimates unchanged for now. We note that Eros is already ahead of our expectations for FY2012E with likelihood of a strong 4QFY12E: (1) Eros is confident of continuing with the library income trend in 3QFY12, (2) Eros has acquired the overseas rights of Agneepath and sold the same to Eros Plc and (3) its large big film, ‘Agent Vinod’, is due for release in end-4QFY12E.

The macro-environment (C&S rights) remains positive though we do not expect the C&S rights pricing shooting through the roof as in 2HFY12. Eros has executed well in a traditionally challenging Indian film industry (though many structural changes, Digital Cinema for example, have helped) with further additions to its FY2013E-14E film slate. However, Eros has also benefited from an improved hit:flop ratio in FY2012E, which may normalize in some time.

Growing up. Eros reported robust 3QFY12 EBIT at Rs1 bn (+62% yoy), ahead of our Rs0.7 bn estimate, led by (1) robust financial performance of its Hindi film slate (RA.One, Rockstar and Desi Boyz) as well as (2) partial booking of library income in 3QFY12. The company has expanded its FY2013E film slate with the addition of Yohan (Tamil) and Go Goa Gone (mid-budget), with further scope for acquisitions. Retain BUY with FY2013E TP of Rs270 (unchanged) given positive macro-environment, continued robust execution by the company and fair valuations (11X FY2013E EPS estimate).

Eros reported 3QFY12 revenues of Rs4.08 bn (+46% yoy), much above our Rs3.4 bn expectation. The positive variance resulted largely from robust BO performance of released films (RA.One, Rockstar), despite some question marks on their creative aspects, and strong contribution from pre-sale of ancillary rights (C&S TV, among others). Additionally, Eros India also passed through overseas-only distribution rights of three films (notable among them, Rascals) to Eros Plc during 3QFY12.

Eros’ revenues were also driven by distribution of a number of Tamil films, in overseas as well as domestic markets, through Ayngaran (Velayudham and Mambattian) as well as through Eros standalone (in the domestic market). However, the Tamil business did not contribute to profits given positive minority interest.

The most significant impact to revenues and profits versus our expectation was due to library income, in both standalone as well as subsidiaries (Exhibit 2). Eros’ subsidiary ‘Copsale’ holds the majority of its legacy library (>1,100 films), with the exception of films done in the past 2-3 years (standalone Eros). Eros expects booking of library income to continue in 4QFY12E as well given current visibility.

We note that Eros’ subsidiary revenues witnessed a 30% yoy decline only on account of high base; Ayngaran distributed the movie ‘Endhiran’ in the overseas markets in 3QFY11, accounting for >50% of its revenues for FY2011.

3QFY12 films costs at Rs2.9 bn (+45% yoy) were also ahead of our estimates since the amortization on account of legacy library movies is booked in the same quarter as library income. Eros has highlighted that for FY2011-9MFY12, the library income run-rate has been higher than library amortization cost rate.

3QFY12 other operating expenses (employee, overheads) were below our estimates. However, 4QFY12E employee expenses may go up due to ESOPs.

Eros booked ~Rs20 mn of forex loss in the balance sheet, as part of gross block (against increase in long-term debt/liabilities). The reported tax is higher by Rs23 mn due to some prior-period tax booked in 3QFY12. Eros expects annual tax rate to remain in the region of 28-30% given ‘Copsale’ library income is tax free.

3QFY12 results highlights

MTNL’s P&L deterioration continues – the company reported a 1% qoq and 7.6% yoy decline in revenues to Rs8.5 bn. Increase in absolute cost base led to an expansion in EBITDA loss qoq. EBITDA loss for the quarter stood at Rs3.6 bn (versus Rs3.2 bn EBITDA loss in both 2QFY12 as well as 3QFY11). Net loss was Rs9.4 bn, marking the 9th consecutive quarter of negative PAT for the company. More importantly, continued negative OCF/FCF and increasing interest payments are driving a sustained increase in net debt for the company and also accelerated erosion of net worth.

Rating and target price remain suspended

Saddled with deteriorating operational performance (declining revenue base, little control on employee expenses, negative EBITDA), MTNL’s net debt continues to increase. Ability to raise further debt to sustain its OCF-negative operations, given the sustained P&L deterioration, is a big question mark. It is difficult to value the stock unless there is a dramatic turnaround in the operational performance, which does not seem likely.

Asset-based valuation approach could yield some equity value; however, there are practical considerations (primarily the company’s massive unionized employee base – MTNL’s employee base is nearly 3X Bharti’s in India) that could impede an asset sale. Essentially, our rating/TP suspension reflects our view that a turnaround in company’s financial position appears implausible. We also note that NPV hit from just two potential negative regulatory developments, i.e. excess spectrum charge and spectrum renewal charge, sums up to Rs59/share for MTNL.

Return of spectrum (BWA and 3G) to the Government, as reported in the press, could ease balance sheet constraints for a while. However, (1) we are not sure if the fiscal situation allows for a quick ‘quasi bailout’ for MTNL and (2) P&L would still remain stretched; competitive positioning, in the absence of 3G, would actually worsen and P&L situation could deteriorate further. Even as return of spectrum and associated cash inflow, if it happens, will likely excite the market, we would advise keeping the excitement in check.

MTNL (MTNL)

Telecom

Operational strife continues. MTNL’s EBITDA loss expanded qoq to Rs3.6 bn as revenues declined sequentially and cost base expanded. We note that this is MTNL’s 9th consecutive quarter in the red at the operational level. Net debt continues to rise and incremental interest hit is driving higher net losses and faster net worth erosion. Our rating and target price for the stock remain suspended. It is difficult to value the stock unless there is a dramatic turnaround in operational performance, which does not seem likely without massive equity infusion.

In-line results

PVKP reports revenues of Rs1.9 bn (+12% yoy, -2% qoq, 4% below expectation), EBITDA of Rs0.4 bn (+21% yoy, -6% qoq, 9% below expectation) and PAT of Rs0.3 bn (+12% yoy, +21% qoq and 2% below expectation). EBITDA margin at 22.6% (versus our expectation of 23.7%) was 100 bps below 2QFY12 margin and 167 bps above 3QFY11 margin. Effective tax rate came in at 31.4% (31% in 2QFY12) and is now expected to stay in this range due to absence of 80-IB projects.

Sales decline due to high interest rates and absence of new launches

Puravankara (along with Provident) sold 0.5 mn sq. ft in 3QFY12 versus 0.6 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 and 0.7 mn sq. ft in 3QFY11 as sales continue to suffer due to high interest rates and lack of new launches in the quarter. The key contributors in the quarter are – (1) Welworth City Phase 2 (0.11 mn sq. ft), (2) Windermeyer Phase 1 (0.05 mn sq. ft) and (3) Cosmos City Phase 2 (0.04 mn sq. ft). In January, the company launched Provident Harmony comprising 240 apartments of which 125 has been sold and the company’s quarterly presentation indicates that it expects to get approvals to launch 0.6 mn sq. ft under Puravankara and one phase of a project under the Provident brand (total area of 5.88 mn sq. ft) in 4QFY12E.

Sales realizations in Puravankara at Rs3,835/sq. ft improved 3% qoq and 18% yoy and overall realizations at Rs3,572/sq. ft improved by 3% qoq and 37% yoy. At end-3QFY12, PVKP had 20 mn sq. ft of launched area under execution comprising 15 residential projects (14.9 mn sq. ft), two affordable housing projects (4.5 mn sq. ft) and three commercial projects (0.5 mn sq. ft).

The company did not launch any projects in the quarter and it is expecting to get approvals to launch 6 mn sq. ft under Puravankara and 11 mn sq. ft under Provident in the coming financial year though the launches will likely be in phases. The company has delivered Ph 1 of Purva Highlands to its customers (1.3 mn sq. ft) and is targeting to deliver 5 mn sq. ft over the next 12 months.

After rising for 7 consecutive quarters, net-D/E declined to 0.69X from 0.7x at end-QFY12 while cash and cash equivalents declined by Rs0.5 bn to Rs0.5 bn.

Puravankara Projects (PVKP)

Property

In-line results, poor sales. Puravankara declared revenues of Rs1.9 bn (+12% yoy, -2% qoq) and earnings of Rs0.3 bn (+12% yoy, +21% qoq) while sales declined to 0.5 mn sq. ft versus 0.7 mn sq. ft in 3QFY11. Net-D/E has finally declined marginally to 0.69X after rising steadily for seven consecutive quarters from 0.5X to 0.7X over 3QFY10-2QFY12. We maintain our REDUCE rating and target price of Rs80/share and cut net-income estimates by 18%/13%/14% respectively while accounting for higher value of land bank and new project additions.

Changes to our model – maintain REDUCE at a target price of Rs80/share

We make the following changes to our model

We cut revenues and earnings estimates for FY2012E/13E/14E by 5%/9%/8% and 18%/13%/14% respectively as PVKP’s EBITDA margin has declined to 23% for 9MFY12E versus 30-38% in FY2008-10. EBITDA margin in FY2011 was 24% and we are now assuming margins of 25%/27%/28% for FY2012E/13E/14E respectively.

FSI cost of land bank is now Rs100/sq. ft versus Rs87/sq. ft earlier.

Take into account PVKP’s launch plans of 6.6 mn sq. ft over next one year.

Reported net income hurt by forex loss; EBITDA beat driven by strong standalone performance

JSW reported consolidated performance after reporting standalone performance on Jan 20 and JSW ISPAT numbers on Feb 8. JSW reported consolidated EBITDA of Rs13.2 bn (-5.5% qoq), 27.6% ahead of our estimate with the entire outperformance driven by the standalone unit. However, note that part of the forex losses of Rs5 bn reported as an extraordinary item pertained to coking coal imports which should form part of raw material costs. JSW reported a net loss of Rs479 mn in 3QFY12 owing to (1) forex loss of Rs5 bn, and (2) loss of Rs3.1 bn reported in 3QFY12 by JSW Ispat. JSW consolidated its proportionate share of loss of Rs1.5 bn.

Ispat reports loss of Rs3.1 bn, cost pressures will continue to impact profitability

JSW Ispat reported net loss of Rs3.1 bn resulting from (1) cost pressures due to elevated raw material and power costs which were impacted by sourcing issues and (2) forex losses of Rs1.1 bn pertaining to operating balances/forward exchange contracts and MTM losses on derivative contracts. Gross debt for the company continues to remain at worrying levels resulting in material interest outgo every quarter. We forecast loss of Rs17.7 bn and Rs3 bn for FY2012E and FY2013E.

Leverage hurts—debt unlikely to decline for the next few years

JSW’s overall debt is unlikely to decline over the next few years. Expansion plans, greenfield projects and acquisitions will keep debt at elevated levels. The company highlighted that it has a total of Rs150 bn to be spent as capex over FY2012-14E. Out of the total planned capex, around Rs80 bn would be financed through internal accruals and the balance through debt. We expect net debt/ EBITDA of 3.4X and 3.3X for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively (refer Exhibit 2).

Downgrade to SELL on recent rally in prices and cost pressures, TP of Rs680 (Rs610 earlier)

JSW stock has rallied 29.6% over the last month on increase in steel prices and potential restart of iron ore mining in Karnataka. Some of the headwinds are likely to clear out on iron ore availability in the next few weeks. However, the stock trades at an expensive 6.4X FY2013E EBTIDA. We downgrade the stock to SELL from REDUCE with a revised TP of Rs680.

JSW Steel (JSTL)

Metals & Mining

Reports consolidated loss; stock expensive. JSW reported consolidated net loss of Rs479 mn on (1) forex loss of Rs5 bn and (2) consolidation of share of quarterly loss of Ispat of Rs1.5 bn. JSW Ispat’s 3QFY12 performance was weak and continues to be plagued by elevated raw material costs and sourcing issues. Stock captures near-term upsides of potential restart of iron ore mining in Karnataka. Domestic overcapacity, leveraged balance sheet and expensive valuations underpin our negative stance on the company. Downgrade to SELL with a revised TP of Rs680 (Rs610 earlier).

Key changes to our estimates for FY2012-14E

We have made moderate changes to our estimates and accordingly revise our FY2013-14E EBITDA estimates upwards by 4.8% and 4.6% to Rs62.2 bn and Rs67.8 bn respectively on the back of (1) increase in our base-case HRC price assumption for FY2013E by 2.3% on the back of recent uptick in prices while maintaining our FY2014E price assumptions, and (2) lower raw material costs; we model FY2013-14E hard coking coal price of US$225/tonne and US$210/tonne respectively. This is partly neutralized by (1) factoring in our economist’s FY2012-14E Re/US$ forecast of Rs48, Rs50.5 and Rs50 respectively from Rs47.3, Rs52.5 and Rs50 earlier. This translates into a 3.9% and 4.7% upward revision in our EPS estimates for FY2013E and FY2014E to Rs77.8 and Rs94.9 respectively (refer Exhibit 1 below).

Update on CEC report and Supreme Court decision on iron ore mining

The CEC submitted its report to the Supreme Court recently highlighting the rampant cases of illegal mining prevailing in Karnataka. As per the report, it appears that the CEC has found that of the 166 mining leases surveyed in Karnataka, at least 123 were involved in illegal mining. They have categorized the companies carrying on mining activities into three categories - A, B and C. Category A companies have not committed any illegality and the CEC has recommended that their mining leases should continue. For category B companies, the CEC recommends that they should be made to pay some penalties towards environmental degradation and then be permitted to carry on with their mining activities while it recommended cancellation of about 50 mining leases belonging to companies in category C including penalties of Rs5 crore per hectare of illegal mining. The Supreme Court in its hearing on Friday in response to this report has given the companies in question two weeks to respond to the CEC report. As per the company, JSW’s 3 mtpa captive mine belongs to companies mentioned in Category A.

Other 3QFY12 result highlights

The US plate mill improved its utilization levels to 42% of installed capacity in November from 37% in 2QFY12. However, it undertook a 25-day maintenance shutdown in December investing around US$8-10 mn in improving the existing facilities to cater to high-end pipe and plate products. As a result, capacity utilization for 3QFY12 was lower at 28% of installed capacity.

Shipments at Chile iron ore mines came to a standstill in November due to the off-season and one would have to wait till mid-February for shipments to resume.

The company does not see much downside to steel prices over the next few months and given the fall in input costs across the board, expects some visible improvement in margins in 4QFY12E.

3QFY12 a rainy quarter as the Sun hid behind a few cyclical, structural clouds

Sun TV 3QFY12 financials are not comparable yoy given an ‘extraordinary’ Rs440 mn EBIT contribution by Endhiran movie in 3QFY11. However, 3QFY12 EBIT of Rs2.29 bn was down 19% yoy on (1) weak advertising revenue, (2) fall in cable subscription revenue in TN (Arasu) and (3) high film telecast costs. We adjust for the impact of Endhiran in line items in this note.

The negative variance in 3QFY12 was driven mainly by weak advertising revenue of Rs2.85 bn (-6% yoy). Sun TV highlighted generally challenging economic conditions and a weakening advertising trend in sectors such as telecom (Exhibit 2; data not complete given multiple unlisted firms in South India) and cyclicals.

Downgrade to ADD (BUY previously) with FY2013E FV of Rs390 (Rs400 previously)

We downgrade the Sun TV stock to ADD (from BUY) noting limited 14% upside from CMP after absolute returns of a sharp 47% and 36% outperformance versus the BSE-30 Index. We reduce our FY2012-13 EPS estimates to Rs18.5 (from Rs20) and Rs21.4 (Rs23.8) respectively due to (1) lower advertising revenue and (2) assuming zero contribution from Tamil cable subscription revenue (lack of clarity on Arasu). Our FY2103E FV is reduced to Rs390 (from Rs400) and stress-case valuation is Rs340 (from Rs350). We recognize potential impact from political risks through higher WACC in our DCF model; we use some of the savings left for a rainy day (reduced WACC of 13.5%; 50 bps higher than our coverage).

Our ADD rating is led by (1) robust franchise in South India (early 4QFY12 market share trends show promise), (2) our expectation of FMCG-led advertising uptick in FY2013E and (3) the Street’s under-appreciation of potential benefits of digitization for broadcasters such as Zee/Sun. Sun TV is valued at a fair 16X FY2013E EPS in the base case, but full 20X in the stress case. The stock has ~3.3% yield in FY2012E, with Rs2.5/share interim dividend in 3QFY12.

A rainy quarter; Sun hides behind the clouds. Sun TV posted weak 3QFY12 EBIT of Rs2.29 bn (-30% yoy), led by (1) weak advertising revenue, (2) lower cable subscription revenue in Tamil Nadu and (3) high film telecast costs (typically volatile in the quarter). The base was high, given a Rs440 mn contribution by ‘Endhiran’ movie in 3QFY11; adjusted EBIT declined 19% yoy. Downgrade to ADD with revised FY2013E FV of Rs390 (from Rs400) given limited 14% upside from CMP. Our ADD rating is due to (1) Sun TV’s robust franchise in South India (but rising competition), (2) potential benefits of digitization and (3) expected advertising recovery in FY2013. We use some savings for a rainy day: reduced WACC of 13.5% (50 bps higher than our media coverage) from 14% partially negates a 10% fall in FY2013 EPS estimate.

Sun TV lost market-share in 3QFY12, notably in the Telugu market. We do not believe Tamil played a significant role (60% versus 65% market share should not make much difference). Sun TV noted that non-flagship channel advertising had been under pressure; we note that market-share erosion has also been considerably higher in Sun TV’s movie channels. Star’s renewed investment in South India (a regional version of the popular KBC) would be the key factor to monitor.

On the other hand, (1) listed FMCG advertising was more stable in 3QFY12 (Exhibit 3) and (2) Sun TV was not disadvantaged by a very high advertising base. The local advertising medium (print) did well in 3QFY12 but Sun TV, with a high share of local advertisers, did not benefit. This could be potential fallout of re-alignment of local business equations to the new political structure in Tamil Nadu. Nonetheless, we continue to expect an improved FY2013, led by recovery in FMCG advertising.

3QFY12 subscription revenue of Rs1.37 bn (-4% yoy) was weak but largely in line with our estimates, led by a robust 20% growth in DTH and international subscription revenue. Cable subscription revenue of Rs290 mn (-45% yoy) was below our Rs350 mn estimate; Sun TV and Arasu Cable are yet to come to an understanding.

We expect DTH to be the key driver of subscription revenue for Sun TV going forward, led by digitization mandate by the Government. Sun TV noted 2 mn C&S TV HHs in Chennai (Phase-I) and potential benefit of migrant South population in other metro markets (though likely to be moderate, in our view). Sun TV’s new channel launches (HD, action movies and lifestyle) are expected to add incremental revenue.

Other operating revenue in 3QFY12 mainly comprises Sun Pictures’ film distribution revenue, with contribution of Rs1.51 bn in 3QFY11 by Endhiran. Sun TV’s 3QFY12 revenue of Rs4.25 bn declined 5% yoy versus that in 3QFY11 (adjusted).

The operating costs were largely in line with expectations. The lower-than-expected employee costs were due to reduced director’s remuneration (already capped at 10% of adjusted EBIT) due to reduced profitability.

However, 3QFY12 D&A expenses (largely telecast costs of films) of Rs1.13 bn were ahead of our estimate of Rs900 mn. The volatility in this line item derives from new films being telecast during a quarter and Sun’s accounting policy (complete cost write-off on first telecast of film). However, higher D&A expenses point to telecast of high-budget high-profile films that have not supported advertising. Sun TV noted that Endhiran Tamil telecast was yet to take place, pending an improved environment.

3QFY12 other income was higher than our estimates given ~Rs50 mn of forex income. Sun TV repaid short-term loans of Rs1.7 bn disclosed in the prior quarter. The net cash with the company was ~Rs4.5 bn at the end of 3QFY12.

Tata Steel Europe set for rebound; near-term strength in the steel market to help

Tata Steel Europe (TSE) will return to positive EBITDA after US$147 mn of losses in 3QFY12. Decline in raw material costs (it helps that the raw material inventory has been written down to spot prices in 3QFY12) can potentially lead to US$45/tonne of EBITDA swing. In addition, steel price increase benefit, even if restricted to one month (spot has increased by US$50/tonne though it flows with a lag to the P&L), will aid overall profitability. Management commentary on expansion of spread between HRC and raw material in 4QFY12E gives further confidence on a turnaround. TSE has also taken steps to reduce cost structure that includes restructuring of long product division involving manpower reduction and other cost-control initiatives. While this may show up in restructuring charges over the next two years, this will also improve cost competitiveness. We forecast EBITDA/tonne of US$35 and US$43 for FY2013E and FY2014E.

Incremental volumes from brownfield expansion of 1 mn tonnes in FY2013E, a tad disappointing

Tata Steel has guided for steel deliveries of 7.6 mn tonnes for FY2013E, a tad disappointing. The company has started hot trials in most of the facilities for 2.9 mtpa brownfield expansion at Jamshedpur. Note this expansion is vertically integrated; management expects 5-6 months for all the facilities along with associated infrastructure to stabilize. The company indicated that close to 50% of new production will be directed towards downstream products in tubes, packaging, color-coated products, continuous annealing. The company expects only 1-1.2 mtpa production to be in the commodity grade HR. Profitability of the expansion will be similar to the corporate average due to better product mix and absorption of fixed costs at Jamshedpur.

Downgrade a notch to ADD; recent stock run-up limits upside

We downgrade Tata Steel to ADD from BUY earlier with a revised target price of Rs525 (Rs490 earlier). The 27.8% increase in stock price in the past month limits near-term upside. We have made marginal changes to our estimates for FY2012-14E as detailed later. Tata Steel is trading at 5.2X FY2013E adjusted EBITDA and 8.1X earnings. We like the Tata Steel story for strong and profitable domestic expansion over the next few years that will reduce TSE-induced volatility in financial performance.

Negatives out of the way. On expected lines, 3QFY12 was a weak quarter for Tata Steel. From here, Tata Steel has several positives going its way including brownfield expansion, shipments from raw material projects and possible strong near-term performance at Tata Steel Europe. The likely restocking cycle will provide further boost. However, the recent run-up in stock price leaves only modest upside to our revised fair value of Rs525. Downgrade a notch to ADD from BUY earlier.

Key changes to our estimates

We have made moderate changes to our estimates and accordingly revise our FY2013-14E EPS estimates upwards by 3.9% and 8.7% to Rs58.4 and Rs80.4 on the back of (1) increase in TSE EBITDA estimates for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively. Profitability estimates stand increased to US$35/tonne and US$43/tonne for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively from US$28/tonne and US$38/tonne earlier, and (2) increase in our base-case HRC price assumption for FY2013E by 2.3% on the back of recent uptick in prices while maintaining our FY2014E price assumption.

This is partly neutralized by (1) factoring in our economist’s FY2012-14E Re/US$ forecast of Rs48, Rs50.5 and Rs50 respectively from Rs47.3, Rs52.5 and Rs50 earlier, and (2) lowering our steel deliveries for FY2013E for Tata Steel India and TSE by 4.8% and 1.2% respectively (refer Exhibit 1 below).

Capex spend of around US$2.5 bn each over the next 3 years

Tata Steel reiterated its focus on investing aggressively in various capacity expansion and raw material projects and is targeting an annual capex spend of around US$2.5 bn over the next three years. FY2013E capex would comprise (1) around US$600 mn on its European operations, (2) residual payments to the tune of US$400-500 mn on its Jamshedpur expansion, (3) US$800 mn on its Orissa expansion plans, (4) maintenance capex of around US$300mn, and (5) various other projects including raw material expansion projects and joint venture projects such as the JV with Nippon Steel. As a result, we expect gross debt to remain at elevated levels. We expect net debt/ EBITDA of 3.1X and 2.6X for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively and net debt/equity of 1.1X and 1X for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively (refer Exhibit 2 below).

Other highlights of the 3QFY12 conference call

The 2.9 mtpa brownfield expansion at Jamshedpur is nearing completion with all downstream and ancillary facilities progressing on schedule and is set to commission in a phased manner towards the end of the current fiscal year. The company expects incremental production of around 1 mtpa in FY2013E which would ramp up in FY2014E.

Focus on value-added product mix would help address concerns on overcapacity in the domestic market. The company expects around half of the incremental capacity to be fed to its downstream, facilities including tubes, packaging and continuous annealing products. A part of the remaining capacity would be sold to the auto sector, where the company enjoys healthy premiums. Hence, the company expects margins on an overall basis to be on par with current levels. Fixed-cost absorption would improve as the entire incremental capacity comes on stream.

The first phase of the Benga coking coal project is nearing completion, with the first dispatch expected around March. The company has guided for shipments of 1-1.2 mn tonnes in FY2013E (Tata Steel’s share would be around 0.5 mtpa).

3QFY12 saw material fall in steel prices on a qoq basis in Europe. Steel prices fell around US$43/tonne over the previous quarter on suppressed macro-economic conditions and destocking activities prevalent. 3QFY12 also saw the spread between steel and raw material prices narrowing by around EUR60-80/tonne sequentially qoq to EUR90/tonne. This spread was around EUR350/tonne in 1QFY12.

In India, prices remained firm in the flat segment while in the long segment, there was an uptick in prices vis-à-vis the previous quarter on build-up in demand, particularly from the construction segment.

The company expects some revival in Europe and improvement in profitability led by a combination of some uptick in demand from key-end user segments including restocking activities, softening of key input prices (iron ore down to US$140/tonne and coking coal to US$220/tonne) and some improvement in steel prices.

Reasonably well-priced; downside risks to earnings limited in this phase of interest-rate cycle

We downgrade IndusInd Bank to an ADD from BUY but broadly retain our earnings—the change in rating driven by the strong outperformance. We believe that our earnings underestimate the potential for NIM improvement and factor conservative credit costs. We factor NII to grow by 24% CAGR for FY2012-14E on the back of similar loan growth, implying extremely low levels of NIM improvement from current levels (note that each quarter in FY2012 saw a decline in NIMs) and fairly conservative loan growth assumptions.

Decline in cost of funds and higher share of fixed-rate loans offer strong comfort on NIM outlook

We believe that the bank has positioned its balance sheet well to leverage the downward interest-rate cycle which should result in strong NIM expansion over the next few quarters. Wholesale rates, measured through the CD market, are yet to reflect a serious downward trend but we expect this to change sooner than later. The bank’s cost of funds at 8.2% in 3QFY12, one of the highest in the industry, despite CASA ratio closer to 27% levels indicates a reasonably higher cost of term deposits while the fixed interest rate retail portfolio is yielding 16% levels. We are conservative on NIM (expansion 20 bps by FY2014E) as change in the CASA acquisition strategy could partially erase this benefit but potentially improve the structure of total liabilities.

Two key risks which could be a potential overhang but reasonably factored in estimates

We see two key risks currently: (1) Balance sheet risks and the ability to maintain the current asset quality trends. Last reported data on asset quality shows limited signs of stress despite macro environment weakening and interest rates remaining fairly high for the past few quarters. IndusInd Bank has a reasonably higher share of business that is pro-cyclical in nature. Also, higher share of business in used vehicle loans (11% of the overall vehicle loans) as compared to new vehicles further increases the risk that is yet to be reflected. (2) Ability to improve liability franchise, especially CASA. Ability to improve margins can offset credit costs while the recent increase in savings account interest rates as well as an aggressive marketing campaign to improve the visibility of the bank should address some of these risks.

Limited risks to business; valuations cap returns in the near term. We downgrade IndusInd Bank to ADD from BUY as we believe that the current valuation of 2.8X book and 18X FY2013E EPS captures the strength of the business model for RoEs in the range of 18% levels and earnings growth of 14% CAGR. We are valuing the bank at `330 (from `325 earlier)—3X book and 18X FY2013 EPS. We see a possibility of earnings upgrade over the next few quarters but believe risks are primarily from balance sheet on slowdown in economic growth and ability to improve the liability franchise.

Margin expansion is now a near-certainty

We believe that IndusInd Bank’s NIM has definite scope for improvement from current levels. A combination of high-yield fixed interest rate retail assets as well as decline in funding costs from here should enable the bank to (1) expand NIM and (2) move towards low-risky assets, especially corporate loans, over the next few quarters. Retail loans have grown to 48% levels as compared to 40% levels in FY2010 while the risk levels have increased through used vehicle financing. The entire portfolio of retails loans are primary fixed in nature where the underlying yields are close to 16% levels and duration of close to 18 months (door-to-door maturity of about three years).

We expect the NIM improvement to be visible from FY2013E onwards though we are yet to fully factor this improvement in our current estimates. Cost of deposits of the bank is currently fairly high at 8.2% as of 3QFY12 but looks to have peaked (flat qoq). However, interest rates on wholesale deposits continue to remain high as reflected in CD rates as the underlying liquidity environment remains fairly tight over the past few months. The CASA ratio of 27% gives some confidence that the underlying liability has scope for strong decline as interest rates soften.

Attempt to neutralize margin volatility takes a back seat

Over the past few quarters, we note that IndusInd Bank seems to have taken a cyclical call on interest rates and has deliberately increased its portfolio exposure towards segments that have shown macro headwinds. We believe that the management’s intention to neutralize the margin volatility looks to have been postponed by a few quarters.

As against a CASA liability of 27% levels, the bank’s fixed interest portfolio is approximately 45%. The difference between the two has increased sharply in recent quarters to about 20% from about 15% levels witnessed in FY2011.

Composition of CASA and NIM cycle suggests opportunity to increase SA rates further

We see a very strong reason for IndusInd Bank to use a part of the NIM expansion to improve the liability franchise by increasing savings account rate further, if the recent increase does not necessarily improve as per the bank’s internal benchmarks. The overall composition of CASA shows that IndusInd Bank has a weaker franchise on savings account as compared to current account. Current account is about 17-18% levels, almost comparable to HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank. Savings account is about 10% as compared to 20-30% levels for the top-3 private banks.

Impact on cost of funds for IndusInd Bank is negligible at about 10 bps for 50 bps increase in savings rate—giving a strong incentive to increase interest rates, if required. We do understand that the medium-term implications remain high as the cost structures impact could be significant with retail deposits constituting a higher share of overall deposits.

No signs of stress in any portfolio; but therein lies the risk to valuations

We see one of the biggest risks emerging on valuations as opposed to earnings. Sharper-than-expected slippages can be adequately provided by NIM expansion over the next few quarters but such slippages are likely to put valuations at risk. Discussions with the bank indicate no near-term stress in any of its portfolio.

We are building slippages to increase to about 1.7-1.8% levels over the next few years and loan-loss provisions to increase to 110-120 bps—which we believe are fairly conservative. However, sharper-than-expected slowdown along with a longer duration of weak industrial activity can result in higher slippages than what is currently estimated. We do note that IndusInd Bank has a strong portfolio in vehicle loans, having been in this business for over two decades—which reflects the strength of underwriting. Our growth outlook on overall vehicle volumes is subdued.

We see limited concerns of restructuring in the corporate portfolio. Overall loan exposure is comparatively lower and is primarily working capital in nature. As of 3QFY12, the overall restructured loans were about 20 bps.

Contribution of non-interest income (ex-treasury) to remain stable

IndusInd Bank has steadily improved the overall contribution of fee income to overall income or as a proportion of assets in recent quarters but we expect this contribution to remain stable over the next few years. Contribution of non-interest income (ex-treasury) to overall income is currently at 36% in 3QFY12 while it is at 1.8% as proportion of assets. We expect overall fee income to grow by 23% CAGR for FY2012-14E.

The bank is steadily building a fee income business that is independent of the overall growth in balance sheet mainly from income from third-party products (25% of the current non-interest income (ex-treasury). These products include credit card fees, housing loans origination, insurance and mutual fund distribution.

Cost structure to remain stable with expansion in branch network

We expect the overall cost-to-income ratio for the bank to remain stable, building in a marginal decline of 40 bps by 2014E. Higher contribution of retail portfolio and focus on expansion is likely to keep cost-income ratio high at 48% levels. Overall employee cost to total income is at 38% levels, one of the lowest compared to peers primarily due to higher operating expenses of the retail portfolio.

The bank has doubled the branch network over the past year to 365 branches in 3QFY12 (30% CAGR for FY2009-11E) while the total employees have grown by 35% CAGR for FY2008-11E. We are building overall expenses to grow by 22% with staff expenses growth at 24% CAGR for FY2012-14E.

Indians are eating more pizza but buying fewer watches (maybe not even ‘Sonata’ which costs Rs300-400) and women probably prefer to buy silver! (Tanishq’s same-store volumes likely declined in double digits). Indians are painting their houses a lot less frequently (Asian Paints volume growth likely in single digits), they prefer to travel ‘light’ (VIP Industries had a 'soft' 12% sales growth), they are shopping a lot less (Shopper’s Stop and Pantaloon same-store volumes likely declined), indulging a lot less (HUL says Knorr soup sales were impacted by “market slowdown”), are not worried about health (Sugar Free of Zydus Wellness likely had very low growth), smoking (ITC volumes were 5%) and drinking a lot less (UNSP like-to-like volume growth was 6%) !!

We prefer a basket of Dabur, GSK, Godrej, Marico and Tata Global. We believe ITC is well placed to tackle the Budget risk as there is enough predictability about the taxation regime. We like HUL and Titan with a medium-term view. Expensive valuations and limited earnings upgrade potential prompt our recent HUL rating cut to REDUCE.

We recommend investors sell Asian Paints, Colgate, Jubilant Foodworks and Nestle.

While we like the structural thesis in Jyothy Laboratories and United Spirits, improvement in business performance and/or other tangential factors (like Kingfisher Airlines for UNSP, Henkel integration for JYL) are likely to play a key role in stock performance.

Consumer sector 3QFY12 results review: No slowdown, as yet

3Q saw strong volume growth in staples and some stress in discretionary consumption (as expected). Early signs of gross margin stability were visible for Dabur, Marico and Godrej Consumer. The potential for margin expansion in FY2013 exists for most companies except Godrej (flat margins expected due to likely higher brand investments).

At the industry level, 3QFY12 had sales growth of 17%, gross profit growth of 17%, EBITDA growth of 20% and PAT growth of 21%. Gross profit margin was marginally negative (14 bps) and EBITDA margin was marginally positive (38 bps).

We categorize the 14 companies (of which 13 have reported results) under our coverage as staples (including Colgate, Dabur, Godrej Consumer, HUL, Jyothy, Marico, Tata Global Beverages) and discretionary (including Asian Paints, GSK Consumer, ITC, Jubilant Foodworks, Titan, UNSP).

Consumer products India

Hale and hearty, for now. 3QFY12: good volume growth in staples and some stress in the discretionary space (as expected). Early signs of gross margin stability for Dabur, Marico and GCPL. Margin expansion potential in FY2013 exists for most, except GCPL. ‘Pizza’ was the standout performer in the stressed discretionary space. We continue to expect some moderation in demand in CY2012, which could well be a short-term blip; we recommend ‘choose and pick’. We prefer a basket of Dabur, GSK, GCPL, Marico and Tata Global. We believe ITC is well placed to tackle the Budget risk as there is sufficient predictability about the taxation regime.

Staples reported sales growth of 20%, driven by a mix of pricing and volume growth; key among these, HUL, reported sales growth of 16% with 9% volume growth, Dabur reported sales growth of 35% of which organic growth was 20% and volume growth, 10%, Marico reported sales growth of 29% with 16% organic volume growth.

In the discretionary space, companies reported sales growth of 15%, driven primarily by pricing growth. ITC reported 11% sales growth in cigarettes with 5% volume growth, Asian Paints reported 20% sales growth with likely single digit volume growth, Titan reported 25% sales growth in the jewelry segment with 5% decline in jewelry grammage sales (same-store volumes likely declined in double digits), and UNSP reported flat sales due to one-offs in the results (on a like-to-like basis yoy sales growth was 13%, with overall sales volume growth of 1% yoy and adjusted for the disruptions in select states, volume growth was 6% yoy). In contrast to its peers, which reported muted volume growth, Jubilant Foodworks stood out with 49% sales growth and a strong 30% same-store growth.

Gross margin pressure stays; signs of stability for Dabur, Marico, GCPL

EBITDA margin improved sequentially for most companies, but on a yoy basis, it declined for Dabur (416 bps decline due to higher price of light liquid paraffin oil, herbs etc and higher adspends as cuts in adspends in earlier quarters were hurting volume growth), Marico (185 bps decline; while gross margin improved, adspends were higher), Titan (125 bps decline due to higher fixed costs) and UNSP (452 bps decline due to higher material cost and adspends).

EBITDA margin improved yoy for Colgate (555 bps savings in adspends), HUL (299 bps savings in adspends), ITC (205 bps improvement in gross margin; benefit of price hikes taken in anticipation of an excise hike in the Budget), Jubilant Foodworks, Jyothy Laboratories (price hike of 7% in September 2011 and savings in adspends) and TGB (correction in tea and coffee prices).

Recommendation summary

Stocks rated BUY/ADD

Dabur: Distribution-led growth will be the next growth driver.

Godrej Consumer: Keep faith.

GSK Consumer: Watch for announcement of CY2011-14E targets.

ITC: Event risk exists; potential for higher dividend payout is a buffer.

Jyothy Laboratories: Early signs of turnaround visible.

Marico: Value-added hair oil and rural penetration to lead growth.

Titan: Solid specialty retail story; near-term challenges exist.

Tata Global Beverages: Margins have likely bottomed out; potential for better, efficient capital allocation.

United Spirits: In the balance.

Stocks rated SELL/REDUCE

Asian Paints: The past may not be a reflection of the future; SELL.

Colgate: Robust sales growth; adspends at elevated levels triggered by competition.

Hindustan Unilever: Expensive valuations and limited earnings upgrade potential.

Jubilant Foodworks: The crust could potentially crack.

Nestle: Price-led profit management deserves a lower multiple.

When facts (or stock prices!) change, we change (estimates, ratings, TP)

Dabur (ADD, TP Rs115)

We retain our ADD rating on Dabur and increase TP to Rs115 (valued at an average of the past three years’ PE multiple of 25.5X) from Rs105 earlier. We are bullish on the distribution-led growth strategy adopted by Dabur and believe this will be the next growth driver for the company (we see some parallels with the strategy adopted by GSK and HUL during 2007-09). The company stepped up adspends in 3QFY12 and will likely keep them at elevated levels in 4QFY12 as well. We view this as a good tailwind for FY2013E sales growth. In the 3QFY12 concall, the company commented that it was witnessing moderation in raw material prices in 4QFY12 compared with 3QFY12. EBITDA margins likely bottomed out in 3QFY12 and there will likely be slow recovery from here, in our view. We model flat EBITDA margins of ~16.3% over FY2012-14, which potentially has upside risks. Key risks are (1) any slowdown in rural sales growth, (2) limited pricing power of the company, which makes it vulnerable to input cost inflation, (3) Dabur is not a market leader in many categories, (4) any prolonged unrest in its key international markets could impact operations (sales and margins).

Godrej Consumer Products (ADD, TP Rs500)

We retain our ADD rating on GCPL and revise TP to Rs500 (Rs460 earlier) as we increase the multiple for the India business to 18X from 17X earlier (in line with an increase in Dabur’s FY2013E EV/EBITDA multiple). We continue to value GCPL on an SOTP basis as the company operates in multiple categories with varying growth characteristics and in multiple geographies (India, Indonesia, Africa, the UK and Latin America). Our bullishness on the stock remains: the key reason is our strong positive view of its prospects in the insecticides business. The key risks are (1) integration of recent acquisitions, (2) increasing business, political and currency risks due to operations in multiple geographies and (3) any unexpected increase in competitive activity in the domestic insecticides business.

Marico (BUY, TP Rs190)

We retain our BUY rating and revise TP to Rs190 (Rs175 earlier) and upgrade FY2012 and FY2013 estimates by 4% and 5% respectively as we build in higher volume growth in Parachute, Saffola and value-added hair oil: In 3QFY12 volume growth surprised positively with 13%, 15% and 20% respectively. Value-added hair oil consistently reported over 20% volume growth in 9MFY12. Tailwinds for FY2013E are (1) potentially lower copra prices (which we do not model), (2) continuing volume gains in value-added hair oil and (3) distribution expansion gains. Key risks are (1) higher-than-expected input cost inflation, (2) exposure to currency risks and (3) lack of meaningful success in new ventures.

Titan (ADD, TP Rs230)

We retain our ADD rating and revise TP to Rs230 (Rs210 earlier) as we value Titan at 29X FY2013E EPS. We are believers in the long-term opportunity for Titan, (1) likely higher discretionary spends, (2) penetration and consumption-led growth, (3) mix improvement in favor of diamond and studded jewelry is a positive as they enjoy higher margins and reduce Titan’s vulnerability to gold price volatility. However near-term challenges include (1) a slowdown in consumer demand, (2) volatility in gold prices, (3) stress in the eyewear business, and (4) high competitive intensity. Any weakness in the stock price due to these reasons would be an opportune point to enter a business with solid brands and a proven execution track record.

Tata Global Beverages (BUY, TP Rs110)

We retain BUY with a TP of Rs110. We reiterate the view in our TGB upgrade note of December 2011 that margins have likely bottomed out. We continue to believe the announcement of joint ventures with PepsiCo and Starbucks are potential game changers for possible better utilization of cash. We retain a BUY rating despite the stock price appreciation of 40% since December 2011.

According to media reports, TGB’s JV with Starbucks is likely a 50:50 joint venture wherein the stores will be named “Starbucks Coffee: A Tata Alliance”. The JV named “Tata Starbucks Limited” (TSL) is likely targeting to open 50 stores by the end of CY2012 with focus on Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi.

The JV with Pepsi Co is a 50:50 venture, named NourishCo, and targets sales of Rs7 bn by 2016. ‘Himalayan’ mineral water is being sold by this entity and nutrient-based packaged water ‘Tata Water Plus’ has been launched. The product priced at Rs16 per 750 ml bottle has been launched in Tamil Nadu and will later be introduced across India. Tata Gluco Plus (a glucose-based lemon drink) has also been introduced and is part of NourishCo.

We view TGB’s JV with Starbucks to operate a coffee chain in India as a medium-term positive. This JV could potentially address a significant challenge faced by TGB, of appropriate allocation of capital in growth businesses. This deal could potentially be a win-win for TGB if it can leverage Starbucks’ retail skills for effective utilization of its cash. However, the cultural match would be a key operational challenge, in our view.

Given multiple changes at the corporate level, we retain our estimates and rating at this stage and will revisit our valuation thesis after a meeting with the management.

Manufacturing continues to remain weak; mining sector shows some pick-up

Industrial production was back to the weak zone with December IIP growth coming in at 1.8% on the back of manufacturing sector growing at 1.8% (November at 6.6%). But this was on expected lines given our anticipation of a weaker-than-normal December post the production levels in November. The base effect from December 2010 was also strong and hence also accounted for a lower yoy growth in December 2011. The internals of the manufacturing sector indicate segments like “machinery and equipment”, “electrical machinery”, “textiles”, etc. experiencing contraction on a yoy basis. The mining sector continued to see contraction at (-)3.7% (though on a mom basis it showed a 6.4% growth). Electricity grew at 9.1% compared to 14.6% growth in November.

Capital goods sector pulling down industrial production

From a use-based perspective, capitals goods production was a major disappointment at (-)16.5%—the fourth consecutive month of contraction. This strongly signals a slowdown in the investment demand as the economy grapples with demand moderation and high interest rates. Ex-capital goods, the IIP growth appears much better at 4.4%. Along with that, demand from abroad is also likely to remain weak given the global growth moderation. Intermediate goods production also contracted at 2.8% while basic goods production grew at 4%. Consumer durables grew at a modest 5.3% against 11.5% in December (on a mom basis it contracted by 0.8%). Consumer non-durables growth remained strong at 13.4%.

Indicators point to bottoming out in near term; RBI action on April 17

A variety of indicators such as the PMI manufacturing, the core sector growth and also a bounce-up in the credit growth probably indicates that the worst has already been seen with respect to the IIP growth numbers. For instance, as of the current understanding, we project the IIP growth for January 2012 at 2.1% with the average for the fourth quarter at 1.7%, slightly higher than the average of 1.0% seen in the third quarter. However, this is not to indicate that the rebound would be very strong as the headwinds from the global environment as also the domestic environment are likely to continue. While we do not expect any V-shaped recovery as was seen in the post-Lehman phase, the key to a sustained recovery could be some strong policy actions from the government post the ongoing state elections, a clear direction to fiscal containment and some stability in the global environment.

From the monetary policy side, we continue to expect RBI to start its repo rate cutting cycle by 25 bps on April 17. However, we do not anticipate an aggressive increase in monetary accommodation as risks to inflation continue to remain strong (our base case is for a 100 bps cut in the repo rate in FY2013E). Brent crude oil is again at US$117 a barrel and USD/INR is again on a depreciating path. RBI, on the other hand, has already signaled that containing inflation would be difficult without help from the fiscal side. Hence, we expect that it would wait for the Union Budget on March 16 before starting to ease monetary policy.

Economy Industrial Production

IIP growth likely to be near the bottom. The December IIP growth of 1.8% was much lower than market consensus (Kotak: 1.8%). While this outturn is weak, there has likely been some destocking this month given the stronger-than-anticipated November growth. Capital goods production continued to remain weak, supporting the fact that investment demand has slowed significantly. Based on our expectation of the trend going forward, we believe that industrial production has largely bottomed out. However, it is unlikely to bounce back strongly as headwinds from both the domestic and global factors continue. We reiterate our view of a 6.6% FY2013E GDP growth and point to a 25 bps repo rate cut on April 17.
