SCL BSE Mid Cap

Company Background

Shree Cement Ltd (SCL), established in 1985, is a part of BG Bangur

Group. The company is engaged in the manufacturing of cement and

power generation. SCL has a cement capacity of 13.5 MTPA and power

generating capacity of 560 MW. Its cement plants are located at

Beawar, Ras, Khushkhera, Jobner and Suratgarh in Rajasthan and

Laksar (Roorkee) in Uttarakhand.

Investment Rationale

Buoyancy in cement industry to continue

� SCL is expected to benefit from its strong presence in North

India, as prices are expected to remain firm in these regions

due to slowdown in capacity addition over the next few years.

� Over the next two to three years, besides general election at the

Centre, many of SCL’s key cement consuming states like Madhya

Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana etc. are scheduled for

elections. These electoral developments will keep demand

buoyant till FY15.

Cost efficiencies to contain margin erosion

� SCL is one of the lowest cost cement producer in India, owing to its

100% captive power usage, lesser power consumption per tonne of

cement (~80 units/tonne vis-à-vis the industry average of ~85-95

units/tonne) and locational proximity to key markets which results in

lower freight costs.

Strong balance sheet to drive growth

� The company is likely to fund most of its expansion through internal

accruals. During FY11-14E, SCL is expected to generate cash

flow from operations of ~INR 36,268.0 million, which would be

utilized as capex and towards repayment of debt.

Valuation

We rate a ACCUMULATE rating on the stock with a price target of

INR 3,319.8 /share, implying an upside potential of 13.5 percent

from current levels. Our target price is based on the average of a

target P/BV multiple of 4.0x FY14E book value of INR 907.9/share and

EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.0x FY14E of INR 15,178.5 million.

India is among the fastest growing

cement markets in the world with

consumption CAGR of 8.4 percent

(FY01-11)

Even though, India is the second

largest cement producer in the world

after China, its per capita cement

consumption is very low

Industry Overview

Cement Industry

� During FY01-11, the effective installed capacity of the cement

industry increased at a CAGR of 8.9 percent from 115.3 MT to 271

MT. During the same period, while there was no significant change

in capacity utilization, production growth marginally underperformed

capacity growth by growing at a CAGR of 8.4 percent.

� Actual cement production in FY11 was 209 MT as against 199 MT

in FY10, registering a growth rate of 5.0 percent. Cement Utilization

during the same period stands at 77.1 percent as compared to 85.4

percent reported in FY10.

Effective Capacity Production Capacity Utilization (%)

� In 2010, global cement industry stood at ~3,100 MT, with China

accounting for nearly half of the total output. India is the second

largest producer with approximately 271 MT of cement (as on

March 31st, 2011).

� India’s per capita consumption is at 176 kg against the world

average of 433 kg or China’s 1,210 kg. India is way behind the

global average per capita consumption and this process of catching

up with International average would drive the growth of Indian

cement industry.

Recent growth in the global cement

consumption is primarily driven by

the emerging markets, generating

~70 percent of the demand

According to CEA, the total installed

capacity in the country as on

February 2012, stood at 190,592.5

MW

� In India, demand from infrastructure has increased but supply has

remained the same. Moreover, in the 12th five year plan,

Government has planned the spending of ~INR 40,992 billion on

infrastructure against INR 20,542 billion in 11th five year plan.

Hence, massive investment in infrastructure would provide boost to

the Indian cement industry. Exhibit: Infrastructure Spending

Power Industry

� The power sector in India was understandably underdeveloped in

the era of 1947, both in terms of available capacity and per capita

consumption. But gradually, India was able to stand on its own feet

and now has the fifth largest generation capacity in the world.

� According to CEA, the total installed capacity in the country as on

February 2012, stood at 190,592.5 MW with state sector having

share of 44.1 percent, followed by central sector with 30.5 percent

share and balance contributed by private sector entities (excluding

captive generating capacity of 19,509 MW).

Per capita consumption of electricity

in India is one of the lowest in the

world

12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17) has

laid out a draft to add over 100,000

MW of power

Availability of domestic coal is a

challenge on account of various

bottlenecks

� Per capita consumption of electricity in India is one of the lowest in

the world. An increase in per capita consumption of electricity

requires an increase in accessibility of electricity in rural India. The

per capita consumption of power increased from 592 kWh/year in

FY04 to 779 kWh/year in FY10, at a CAGR of 4.7% from FY04-10.

Target Achievement %achievement

� The total thermal capacity, including gas stations and diesel

generation accounts for 65.4 percent of installed capacity of the

country. With 105,437.4 MW of the installed capacity based on coal

which is 55.3 percent of nation capacity, coal remains the key fuel

for power generation.

� However, availability of domestic coal is a challenge on account of

various bottlenecks such as capacity expansion of Coal India

Limited, coal block allocation, tribal land acquisition, environmental

and forest clearances, etc. This is further compounded by issues

around land acquisition for the power plant, water availability and

ash disposal for domestic coal-based plants.

SCL has the largest single location

integrated cement plant in North

India and is among the top five

cement manufacturing groups by

capacity in the country

Over the next two to three years,

many of SCL’s key cement

consuming states are scheduled for

elections

Investment Rationale

Buoyancy in cement industry to continue

� Shree Cement has the largest single location integrated cement

plant in North India and is among the top five cement

manufacturing groups by capacity in the country, with an installed

capacity of 13.5 MTPA. It is strategically located in central

� SCL’s continues to use petcoke for kiln operations owing to its

lower ash content. The company meets its petcoke requirement

through imports (direct agreement from a refinery in USA) and is

also sourcing from local players (IOC, HPCL Mittal, Essar oil etc.).

Shree Cement Ltd.

SKP Securities Ltd www.skpmoneywise.com Page 9 of 17

Looking at the current

macroeconomic environment, we do

not expect the petcoke prices to

surge significantly from current levels

We expect cement EBITDA/tonne of

INR 1,104.9/tonne in FY13E and INR

1,179.6/tonne in FY14E

Due to the ongoing European problems (major user of petcoke),

the prices have declined significantly from its peak levels. Looking

at the current macroeconomic environment, we do not expect

the petcoke prices to surge significantly from current levels.

Strong balance sheet to drive growth

� SCL has reported a strong financial performance over the last four

years. The sales for the period FY07-11 has reported a

compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.6 percent from INR

13,679.8 million to INR 35,118.7 million. The net profit for the same

period has grown at a CAGR of 4.3 percent from INR 1,770.0

million in FY07 to INR 2,097.0 million.

� Going forward, we expect the sales to grow at CAGR of 18.5

percent over FY11-FY14E to INR 58,485.2 million while net

profit is expected to grow at CAGR of 49.4 percent to INR

6,988.4 million during the same period.

� The company is likely to fund most of its expansion through internal

accruals. During FY11-14E, SCL is expected to generate cash flow

from operations of ~INR 36,268.0 million, which would be utilized

as capex and towards repayment of debt.

� The company has plans to attain cement capacity of 20 MTPA by

FY17. For the same, it has acquired mining lease for limestone in

the states of Chhattisgarh and Karnataka and is in the process of

completing land acquisition at both the locations. Given the low

leverage balance sheet, SCL should be able to capitalize its future

capex from internal accruals and raise debt, if necessary

Shree Cement Ltd.

SKP Securities Ltd www.skpmoneywise.com Page 11 of 17

Increased cost-based headwinds

across the cost structure (i.e. raw

material & fuel prices) are likely to

reduce profitability particularly in a

scenario where pricing power is likely

to be modest

On valuation front, SCL is relatively

trading at premium compared to its

peers

Key Concerns

Capacity augmentation a concern for cement players

� The cement industry of the country is currently facing a serious

threat from the heavy augmentation of capacities which has been

added during the last three years coupled with subdued demand

resulting in over supply situation.

Soaring raw material prices

� Prices of key raw materials viz. limestone and gypsum are on the

increasing trends over the past few quarters. While prices of

limestone have increased due to increase in royalty payments to

Government of India, its impact is limited as SCL has captive

limestone reserves.

Sensitivity Analysis

Valuations

Cement being a commodity is exposed to vagaries of business

cyclicality, feeling the heat of high commodity prices, slowdown in

infrastructure spending, higher interest rates etc. Thus, valuing the

company on P/E and DCF won’t be the right methodology, as earnings

are very volatile and there will be lot of subjectivity involved in the

assumptions, which may prove to be wrong looking at the abrupt

change in the cycle. Thus, we have valued the company on the basis of

P/BV and EV/EBITDA multiple.

Method 1: P/BV Multiple

At the CMP of INR 2,923.8/share, SCL is trading at 3.99x and 3.21x its

FY13E and FY14E Book Value, respectively.
