Pakistan Auto: Cash-flows post strong recovery, (AKD Daily, Nov 27, 2020)

Presenting an updated cash flow position upon release of detailed financial accounts for auto OEMs we find aggressive normalization in industry CAPEX with the TTM total outlay of PkR5.64bn (down 21%QoQ/60%YoY) with PSMC/INDU/HCAR contributing 23/34/44%, where HCAR’s CAPEX outlay is an expected indication of model launch expectations.

The industry’s TTM topline/gross profit recovered from near bottom levels seen just last quar-ter but remaining lower by 33/48%QoQ where the growth in outgoing Sept’20 quarter was outsized (cumulative sales/gross profit up 2.9x/5.5xQoQ and up 33/62%YoY) showcasing resili-ence post COVID-19 driven business disruptions while a stable FX situation bolstered margins (industry GM at 6.3% for Sept’20 vs. 5.2% SPLY).

In terms of free-cash flows, normalized outflows are evident, with net working capital varia-tions improving under healthier order books stabilizing Net Working Capital outflows as the industry rationalized CAPEX (cumulative 2QCY20 CAPEX of PkR5.7bn down 21%QoQ/60%YoY)

A positive spillover of improved profitability and indication of continued order book health are the drastic decline in leverage levels, as OEMs (led by PSMC) reduce short term loans while benefiting from improved organic cash generation. INDU has filled its ST Invt. coffers back to the brim with current outstanding amount of PkR66.2bn higher than previous peak (PkR55.0bn on June’18) continuing to cushion payouts.

Pak Fertilizer: Low base effect leads to YoY increase in urea offtake, (AKD Daily, Nov 26, 2020)

As per the data released by the NFDC, urea offtake for Oct’20 increased 5/247% MoM/YoY to 413K tons. The significant uptick in offtake on YoY basis was due to low base effect. To recall, gas price hike of 62/31% for fertilizer feed/fuel effective from Jul’19 and consequent urea price hike in Sep’19 led to a pre-buying trend in preceding months (urea price hike was on hold, in anticipation of GIDC removal).

During 10MCY20, FATIMA led the pack with 55% YoY increase in urea offtake, followed by FFBL with 28% YoY higher urea offtake. The urea inventory at 671K tons has increased 44% MoM due to LNG supply to hitherto closed fertilizer plants, it still remains at 24% below its levels in the same period last year.

DAP offtake for Oct’20 remained flattish MoM, clocking in at 229K MT, however declined 15% YoY. This is due to lower imports of DAP on the back of an upsurge in international DAP prices. With EFERT and FFC shying away from expensive DAP imports, FFBL has come forth, ac-counting for 57% market share during Oct’20, up 15ppt YoY.

While phosphoric prices have recently seen an upward trend, we expect FFBL to remain at forefront in terms of DAP offtake, leading to profits on core business in 4QCY20. However, on the flipside, some of those gains are expected to be pared off by the budgetary measures dis-couraging sales to unregistered dealers.

Pakistan OMCs: Grey product weighs heavily on throughput, (AKD Daily, Nov 25, 2020)

Increase in volumes directly lifted throughput levels, with 3QCY20 retail volumes at 3.7mn tons, up 3.5%YoY largely due to a 10%YoY increase in HSD, however, sequential decline in re-tail fuels’ volume stood at 1.5% as influx of grey product affected HSD sales.

Company-wise, HASCOL / SHEL / APL /PSO delivered throughput levels of 487k / 558k / 466k /597k ltrs/outlet, moving +16.0%/+15.2%/-10.2%/-1.8%QoQ and +27.3%/-8.0%/-23.1%/+13.0%YoY taking total average industry throughput -3.2%QoQ/+4.8% YoY to 585k ltrs/outlet.

The effect of grey product appears more pronounced in sectoral breakup of sales where HSD sales from road segment stood at 89% in 3QCY20 against average at 91-92% previously. MS continues to be dominated by road segment, contributing ~99% of total sales.

APL (TP: PkR400.2/sh, 26.2% upside) continues to be the safe stalwart in the sector with high refinery upliftment guarding the company against fluctuating oil prices. PSO's investment case remains pinned to ‘reading the tea leaves’ on circular debt clearance following the Govt's agreement with IPPs (yet to be formalized), where a strong policy response can result in signifi-cant price performance.

MPS: IMF program resumption the key takeaway, (AKD Daily, Nov 24, 2020)

Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the SBP, in its meeting yesterday, expectedly decided to keep the policy rate unchanged at 7.0%. The status quo reflected the largely unchanged inflation outlook and risks to the nascent economic recovery from the recent surge in C19 caseload both domestically and globally.

In a subsequent analyst briefing, SBP Governor alluded towards a resumption of the pro-gram in the next few weeks, with the authorities closing the gap on the contentious issues. According to him, the authorities have reached a consensus on the scale of adjustments (both in fiscal and energy space); the timing of the same remains a key sticking point.

With a view that the IMF will be back by end of this year, we move up our adjustments for utility rates (20%/10% for electricity and gas) to Jan’21 (vs. Mar’21 previously), which will increase our average inflation estimate to 8.9% (vs. 8.7% previously). As a result, we expect monetary tightening cycle to begin soon with first rate hike of 50bps in Mar’21 (vs. May’21 previously).

From market’s vantage, kickstart of IMF’s program is a two pronged sword where initial euphoria on resumption may be tempered by possible upfront adjustments. At the same time, investors are likely to keep an eye on the unfolding Covid situation, however, with the country unlikely to enter a complete lockdown, market downside will likely remain limited.

Expect the market to depict a strong performance from Dec’20 onwards on anticipation of Covid vaccines being ready to use (Pfizer, Moderna, Astrazeneca) by mid-Dec onwards. We continue to like selective E&Ps (Brent at US$46.45), Banks (dividend resumption, interest rate tightening), Textiles (Exports

PSMC: Demand upcycle couldn’t come sooner, (AKD Daily, Nov 23, 2020)

Recent sales numbers reflect the resilient nature of domestic vehicle sales where, while the same cannot be said for PSMC’s numbers (10MCY20 cumulative sales volume dip of 53%YoY vs. 48% for PC sales), we find some saving grace in Oct’20 sales stabilizing their downslide (-13%YoY vs. CYTD avg. of -48%YoY with Alto sales up ~5%YoY).

Additionally, macro stability coupled with low interest rates are driving the start of another upcycle in vehicle sales, where we believe PSMC is likely to be a beneficiary, but may face significant hurdles from new entrants amid price sensitive consumers holding off on making major purchase decisions

In this backdrop we revise our sales estimates across the forecast horizon (unit sales CAGR over CY20-25 of 10.1% vs. 5.5% previously) while significantly shortening the path back to profitability (CY20/21 earnings raised by 30/65%) raising our DCF based TP to PkR180/sh.

We have built in the weak earnings outlook, reflected in tepid unit sales assumptions (~76K unit sales for CY21) with the slowdown in LCV sales expected to persist (Bolan/Ravi demand expected to rise 40%YoY but stay below 9K units respectively), where major policy incen-tives are hard to forecast (bulk orders could lend upside risks).
