Result Update
Operationally sound performance…
UltraTech Cement’s results were broadly in line with our estimates.
While revenues, PAT were in line with our estimate, EBITDA remained
above our estimate mainly due to lower than anticipated raw material
Revenues increased 20.4% YoY to | 6,571.3 crore (vs. I-direct estimate
of | 6,691.9 crore) mainly led by 17.5% YoY increase in volumes to 13.1
MT (vs. I-direct estimate of 13.6 MT) and 2.4% YoY increase in
realisation to | 5,001 (vs. I-direct estimate of | 4,922)
Despite one-time cost due to consolidation of Jaypee and increase in
operating cost, the company was able to keep EBITDA/tonne over
| 1,000/tonne (above I-direct estimate of | 874/tonne)
The board has approved an investment of | 194 crore for putting up 0.4
MT of wall care putty capacity. The plant is expected to be
commissioned during Q2FY20
Cement demand to outpace supply thereby boosting utilisation…
Over FY08-17, utilisation in the cement sector witnessed a decline from 83%
in FY08 to 63% in FY17 mainly due to capacity addition (incremental supply
of 222 MT) outpacing demand (incremental demand of 101 MT). As a result,
industry capacity doubled from 198 MT in FY08 to 420 MT in FY17 vs.
demand, which increased from 164 MT in FY08 to 265 MT in FY17. However,
we expect the demand-supply balance to improve in the next few years with
slower pace of capacity addition and likely improvement in demand
positively impacting utilisation levels. Cement sector utilisation is expected
to improve from 63% in FY17 to 71% in FY19E leading to higher margins for
cement players (driven by operating leverage benefits).
Government’s infra push to drive growth for pan India player like UltraTech
A pick-up in housing on the back of healthy demand from first home buyers,
better monsoons and revival in rural economy will play a key role in driving
cement demand in the next few years. Apart from this, the company will be
a key beneficiary of improving cement demand on account of higher
budgetary allocation towards development of roads & highways along with
government focus on rural development & affordable housing. We expect
cement demand to reach 306 MT by FY19E (i.e. at CAGR of 7.5%) vs. (4.4%
CAGR in last five years). Also, we believe a stable pricing scenario will
positively impact revenues and margins over the next three years.
Synergy benefits from Jaypee acquisition to materialise in long term
The consolidation of 21.2 MT cement assets of Jaiprakash Associates
(Jaypee) will take the company’s total capacity to ~93 MT. This will enable
UltraTech to further strengthen its leadership in India, going forward, with a
market share of over ~22% and become the fourth largest player globally.
We believe the transaction will be cash break even by Q1FY19 and be EPS
accretive by Q1FY20E.
Operational efficiency, market leadership key positives; maintain BUY!
The government’s focus on low cost housing and roads is expected to drive
cement demand in the coming years. In addition, revival in the rural
economy (accounts for 40% of total sales), slowdown in capacity addition
and consolidation in the industry augurs well for UltraTech (a pan India
player). This, coupled with acquisition of Jaypee and capacity expansion at
Madhya Pradesh may result in revenue CAGR of 22.2% in FY17-19E. In
addition, improving realisation and the company’s focus on cost
rationalisation is expected to aid margins. Hence, we maintain our BUY
rating with a target price of | 4,750/share (i.e. at 17.0x FY19E EV/EBITDA).

Annual Report Analysis
The company’s domestic cement capacity during the year increased
2.0% YoY to 66.3 MT. However, capacity utilisation declined from
76.0% to 72.0% mainly led by miniscule increase in volumes (from 47.6
MT in FY16 to 47.9 MT in FY17) and a higher capacity base
Going forward, the company intends to set up 3.5 MT capacity in Dhar,
Madhya Pradesh at a cost of | 2600 crores. Capacity is expected to be
operational by Q4FY19. Apart from organic growth, acquisition of 21.2
MT capacity of Jaiprakash Associate will take total domestic capacity to
~93 MT enabling UltraTech to maintain its leadership position
In FY17, the company undertook various cost saving measures, which
led to 1.9% YoY decline in cost/tonne. In terms of power & fuel cost the
company reported a decline of 8.3% YoY mainly due to increase in the
usage of petcoke (from 70.0% in FY16 to 74.0% in FY17), industrial
waste and efficiency improvements. Besides petcoke, increase in share
of waste heat recovery to 7% of the total power requirement of the
company led to reduced consumption of coal and petcoke (by ~0.25
MT). In addition, logistic cost/t declined 2.5% YoY mainly led by
reduction in the average lead distance, improved utilisation of new
cement grinding capacities, rationalisation of road freight rates and
increased coastal movement. However, employee cost increased 5.2%
YoY due to annual increments and commissioning of new plants
Finance cost during the year increased by | 59 crore to | 571 crore
mainly led by provision for interest on entry tax pertaining to earlier
years and lower benefit of interest subsidy due to the completion of the
government grant period
Cash from operations of the company increased 11.5% YoY mainly led
by higher margins and a reduction in working capital requirement.
Inventory days of the company declined from 40 days to 36 days mainly
due to a reduction in inventory of stores and spares
During the year, the company incurred a capex of ~| 1,200 crore for
completion of new grinding capacity commissioned during the year and
meeting regulatory requirements, plant upkeep & improving efficiencies.
For FY18E, the company plans to incur capex of | 2,200 crore for
capacity expansion projects, regulatory requirements and plant
infrastructure

Capacity Demand Utilisation (%)
Source: ICICIdirect.com Research
Demand expected to register strong growth in FY17-19E
The company has indicated that demand will improve in the south mainly
led by an improvement in infrastructure, irrigation especially in Andhra
Pradesh, Telangana and Amaravati. Further, the western region is expected
to witness healthy growth led by a pick-up in demand from Mumbai (mainly
led by metro projects and coastal roads). In addition, demand in the north is
expected to be driven by higher infra spends. However, demand in the
urban region is expected to remain subdued due to RERA compliance and
high unsold inventory.
Key takeaways in Q2FY18 from conference call
Demand in Q2FY18 was impacted by RERA, floods and sand mining
ban in UP, Bihar, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Sand availability is
expected to improve from October 2017 in Bihar due to opening of
some pits while the company is hopeful that sand availability will
improve in the rest of India in October 2017
The capacity utilisation region wise was North 70%, West 60%, East
70%, South 50% and Central 50%
The company expects to ramp up Jaypee capacity utilisation to 60%
by Q1FY19. The company has re-branded Jaypee Cement to
UltraTech Cement in key markets. Jaypee Super plant - 2.3 MT
clinker capacity and 4 MT cement capacity at Bara are expected to
be commissioned by September 2019
Pet coke prices have increased to US$105/t from US$95/t in Q2FY18.
The company indicated that switching to domestic coal in some
plants has now become more lucrative
The company generates 40% of its revenues from rural areas
In terms of transport mix, 74.0% was through road, 23.0% was via
rail and the rest through sea
In terms of fuel mix, pet coke accounts for 76.0% of the overall fuel
mix while industrial waste is 3.0%, imported coal is 11.0% and
others is 11.0%
The company optimised lead distance by 3.0% YoY and reduced
power consumption by 5.0% YoY
Low cost housing is a key driver of cement growth in coming years

Operates at healthy EBITDA/tonne vis-à-vis industry
With lower lead distances due to a pan-India presence, captive power plants
and higher sales realisations due to a higher trade mix coupled with higher
white cement sales realisation, the company generates highest
EBITDA/tonne in the industry. It has also been able to reduce its power
consumption per tonne gradually through various initiatives to ~74/kwh.
Further, the company is taking various cost saving initiatives like increasing
WHRMS capacity (from 59 MW to 68 MW), increased usage of pet coke,
which will further help lower power cost. Apart from this, the company has
set up various grinding units, which will help reduce freight cost. Further,
higher utilisation of grinding unit will further aid margins.

Expect revenue CAGR of 22.2% during FY17-19E
Revenues have grown at a CAGR of 5.6% in FY12-17 mainly led by moderate
growth in volumes of 3.3% CAGR and realisation growth of 2.2% CAGR in
FY12-17. However, in FY17-19E, we expect volume CAGR of 18.4% in FY17-
19E mainly led by higher infra spend by the government and acquisition of
Jaypee Assets. Further, we expect realisation to increase at 3.2% CAGR in
FY17-19E led by a pick-up in demand. Consequently, revenues are expected
to grow at 22.2% CAGR in the next two years.

Margins to improve led by operating efficiency
Going forward, cost/tonne is expected to increase led by acquisition of
Jaypee Cement. However, a pick-up in demand, improving utilisation and
EBITDA/tonne at Jaypee in coming quarters will lead to an improvement in
margins in FY19E.

Expect net profit CAGR of 16.3% during FY17-19E
In FY18E, we expect a dip in net margins mainly due to higher interest and
depreciation expenses (mainly led by acquisition of Jaypee). However, we
expect margins to improve in FY19E led by higher utilisation at Jaypee and a

Outlook and valuation
We believe the industry’s capacity utilisation bottomed at ~64% in FY17.
With the government taking measures to boost infrastructure development
through steps like long-term fund availability for major infra projects, higher
budgetary allocation towards public infrastructure development, we expect
robust cement demand growth in FY17-19E to reach 311 MT by FY19E (i.e.
at CAGR of 7.5%) vs. (CAGR of 4.7% over last five years). The company
expects government infra spends to gain momentum, especially on
construction of concrete roads and creation of new capital city of Amaravati
in Andhra Pradesh. UltraTech is well positioned to reap the benefit of a
recovery in demand and generate healthy free cash flows in future. We
assign premium valuations multiple to UltraTech vs. its peer companies due
to its ability to generate higher margins and healthy cash flows. Hence, we
continue to maintain our positive view on the stock with a BUY
recommendation and a target price of | 4,750/share (i.e. at 17.0x FY19E
EV/EBITDA).
