GST rate on most services at 18% versus the current 15%
Exhibit 1 gives the GST rates of various services broken down by key sectors and sub-sectors.
As can be seen, the government has put most services in the 18% category. As in the case of
goods, the government has exempt certain mass-consumption items (education, healthcare,
transportation on local and metro trains) from GST or kept the GST rate at 5% (transportation
in general). However, the 18% tax on communication is on the higher side, in our view. Also,
the GST rate of 28% on cinema tickets for multiplexes and 12-40% GST rate on F&B items
(blended 11% currently) will be negative for the listed multiplex stocks versus expectations.
GST rates on most goods in the range of 12-28%
Exhibit 2 shows the GST rates on various goods broken down by key sectors and sub-sectors.
We have already covered this in detail in our May 19 report. The government is yet to decide on
the rates for two important sectors—textiles (apart from branded garments at 18%; the
definition of branded garment is not clear since it can technically include private labels from the
unorganized sector too) and precious metals and jewelry. The government will decide on the
rates for these two categories of goods on June 3.
Limited impact on inflation as GST tax rates on common items are below current rates
We see limited impact on CPI inflation due to the changes to tax rates from July 1 following the
implementation of GST as the government has (1) exempt fresh food items completely from
GST, same as in the current taxation system, (2) kept the rates on edible oils and processed
foods items at 5-12% (with the exception of aerated waters), (3) exempt services such as
education and healthcare completely from GST, same as under the current system and (4) kept
the rate on transportation at 5% in general. The aforementioned goods and services account
for a large share of the CPI basket (see Exhibit 3).
Interesting to see how the government handles tax on gold, precious metals and jewelry
It would be interesting to see how the government handles the vexatious issue of tax on gold
and jewelry since (1) the industry vehemently opposes any changes to the taxation structure and
(2) gold imports have surged of late (see Exhibit 4). In our view, the government should
separate the two ‘roles’ of gold between savings and consumption and tax the ‘roles’ separately
to achieve its objectives of (1) higher disclosures on purchase and sale of gold and (2) higher
household financial savings. Accordingly it can (1) exempt ‘paper’ gold (gold bonds) completely
from tax as is the case for other financial savings products (other than any GST on transaction
fees), (2) tax bullion at a rate of 5% to discourage savings in the form of physical gold and
(3) tax jewelry overall at 12% GST or making charges (service) separately at 18% GST.
Strategy India
GST: The finishing line is finally here. We believe GST is all set to be implemented on
July 1, 2017 with (1) the GST Council finalizing the GST rates on almost all goods and
services and (2) 12 states passing the state GST laws; more will do so over the next few
weeks. The government has followed a multi-pronged approach to prepare for the
implementation of GST. However, we are less sure about the readiness of companies,
especially the smaller ones, to adopt GST in a smooth manner.

Solid operating profit growth gives headroom to improve coverage
SBI reported a sharp rise in earnings, which was supported by solid growth in operating profits.
Revenue growth of 9% yoy was led by 18% yoy growth in NII despite loan growth being weak
at 8% yoy. NIM improved qoq by ~5 bps as the bank benefitted due to demonetization as well
as one-off interest on tax refunds. CASA ratio was stable qoq. Consolidated performance was
weak as the subsidiaries reported a huge loss ahead of the merger. There were higher
provisions for bad loans as well as retirement-related expenses.
A weak end to subsidiaries; NPLs closer to any other mid-tier public bank
The banking subsidiaries reported a steep loss in 4QFY17 and FY2017 resulting in a big drag in
consolidated performance. The slippages were high at ~15% for the quarter/year resulting in
gross NPLs increasing closer to ~19%, similar to most mid-tier public banks. Net NPLs were at
12% yoy with overall coverage ratio stable yoy but improving qoq. These banks cut back lending,
ahead of the consolidation, resulting in loans declining ~20% yoy. The performance has been
quite disappointing though the management highlighted that such a performance is unlikely to
be repeated as the bank has taken full control over the operations in the past few months.
Maintain BUY: awaiting resolutions while merger-related pain seems to be complete
We maintain BUY rating on SBI with TP of ₹350 (from `360 earlier) with key changes to
estimates on credit costs and impairment outlook. At our TP, we value the bank at 1.5X book
(1X reported) and 10X FY2019E EPS for RoEs in the range of ~10% in the short term. Our
broad thesis on the bank remains unchanged as it remains our preferred idea in public banks.
We have seen one major rerating in the bank over the past year but any incremental return
from here is contingent on (1) pace of resolutions and (2) quantum of haircuts. Outcomes for
many of these large accounts are not quick and require lengthy approval process and consensus
from all banks and stakeholders. While we continue to see a fair amount of work done for
resolving these assets, we have not yet seen the conclusion making it difficult to understand the
full impact of these resolutions. On the other hand, the merger process seems to be going
smoothly and we are unlikely to see any major surprises in 1QFY18 results.
State Bank of India (SBIN) Banks
Standalone shines; subsidiaries weak. SBI reported a sharp improvement in operating
profit growth of 25% yoy giving headroom for higher provisions as slippages were
stable qoq. Revenue growth of 9% yoy was led by NII growth on the back of decline in
funding costs. Slippages declined to 2.6% and net NPL ratios declined qoq. The merger
is now complete and the only negative surprise was the performance of subsidiaries,
which was quite disappointing. We have moved to consolidated performance post-
merger with a broadly unchanged price. Maintain BUY as it remains our preferred idea
in PSU banks; TP ₹ 350 (from ₹ 360).

Fresh slippages decline; impairments including watchlist declines 70 bps to
~10%
High slippages, credit cost for standalone bank. Slippages remained high at 2.6%
(albeit ~30 bps lower qoq), with nearly 50% of slippages from watchlist accounts (iron &
steel, textiles and ‘others’). Total impaired loans (GNPL and restructured loans) declined
40 bps qoq to 9.2%, comprising 6.9% gross NPL and 2.3% restructured loans. Credit
cost for the quarter was 2.9%, up ~100 bps qoq.
Delayed AQR recognition impacts associates’ asset quality in FY2017. Asset quality
at the group level was much weaker with gross NPL of 9.1% and net NPL of 5.2%.
Slippage for the year was also much higher at 5.8% with credit cost of 2.9%. SBI
highlighted that uniform recognition of stress loans led to higher slippages as AQR-
related slippages identified by RBI were much lower for associate banks – these had to be
recognized in line with parent’s recognition standards.
Power exposure lead to a higher, revised watchlist. SBI has revised the watchlist
loans to `324 bn from `132 bn at the end of the year. `324 bn is spilt as `220 bn
corresponding to SBI while rest is from associate banks. Weak power exposures without
power purchase agreements (PPAs) were included in the watchlist – these were not
included earlier as they were under construction.
7% of power loans under watchlist. SBI has nearly `146 bn loans to power sector of
which 3% is already NPL and 17% is non-investment grade exposure. Of these 10%, SBI
has identified 7% as those exposure needs attention and hence have been included in
the watchlist exposures.
~40% coverage in top-50 NPLs. Top 50 NPL accounts comprise nearly 48% of total
gross NPLs, with coverage ratio of ~40%. As such, there is scope to further improve
coverage levels on these accounts. SBI’s overall standalone coverage ratio improved ~300
bps qoq to 66%, which is one of the highest among PSU banks. Including associate
banks, the coverage ratio was lower at ~62%.

Loan growth of 8% yoy; adjusted loan growth of 14% yoy
Headline loan growth of 8% yoy was better than system loan growth of ~5% yoy. Loan
growth adjusting for food credit, FCNR redemptions and credit substitutes (CP, NCD) was
much higher at 14% yoy.
Retail segment performed better with 21% yoy loan growth. SME (3% yoy growth), mid-
corporate (flat yoy) and large corporate (4% yoy) witnessed slower loan growth. Retail
segment constitutes ~25% of the loan book.
The bank remains cautious in lending to SME and the mid corporate portfolio after
witnessing high levels of stress from these segments. Within retail growth in the housing
loans remains strong at 17% yoy. Auto loans grew by 21% yoy. Gross NPL ratio in retail
segment is just ~0.5%.
We are lot more concerned on growth as we are witnessing headline growth for the
sector slowing to 5% levels. We are less confident that SBI would be able to grow at a
significant premium despite their advantage on cost of funds as the bank has a strong
portfolio of companies who can tap alternate markets to raise funds and make early
repayment.
While SBI is also participating in the CP/NCD market, these loans will entail lower
margins. We are noting banks appear to be a lot more comfortable in reducing their
spreads to maintain growth momentum, which could hurt margins if growth takes
precedence.
We are building loan growth at 10-12% in the medium term as we don’t think the
growth will be sufficient to replace the repayment cycle of the loans taken in the previous
capex cycle.

NIM improved marginally qoq to 2.8%
Reported NIM improved ~5 bps qoq to 2.8%. Reported cost of deposits declined by ~10 bps
qoq to 5.8% while yield on advances also declined ~5 bps qoq to 9.4%. Margin pressure
due to fall in MCLR rates will be partly offset by (1) repricing of associates deposits which are
priced higher than parent, (2) bank has an excess SLR of ~5% which can be deployed in the
form of loans or credit substitutes, (3) parent’s treasury yields are better than associates.
CASA ratio declined marginally to 46%. SA growth was strong at 28% yoy. Bank indicated
that it has retained around 60-70% of the demonetization-related deposit flows. Bank has
benefitted from higher average balances in savings accounts post demonetization, greater
traction in corporate salary packages and new current accounts.

Costs growth at 5% yoy; merger to drive cost efficiencies
Overall operating expenses growth was 5% yoy, led by 10% yoy decline in staff cost and
16% yoy growth in non-staff expenses. Higher non-staff cost reflects spend towards IT,
network and technology-related infrastructure. Staff cost decline is a result of wage gap
between those retiring and the fresh recruits, a trend that is likely to continue.
Bank is benefitting from retirements at the higher salary levels and fresh recruitments at
lower salaries. We think this would be a long term gains that they are likely to see
considering the declining age of the bank’s employee base. Retirement related expenses
declined by 17% yoy at the standalone level in 4QFY17. Retirement related expenses in
FY2017 were stable yoy. Nearly 35% of parent’s staff is under defined contribution
schemes as compared to 40% for the associate banks.

We believe that the cost growth is a sustainable advantage for the bank. The
management has indicated that it would like to keep growth in physical and human
infrastructure at minimum levels. Further, it would look to reduce other non-staff costs
though it may not be as material as what we have seen recently. We expect <10% yoy
cost growth over FY2017-19E.
Merger to drive synergies over time. Cost synergies are imminent post-merger over the
medium term as the merged entity rationalizes its branch and ATM network,
redundancies are eliminated, IT, loan processing centers, treasury functions are
integrated. Staff redundancies will be addressed by redeployment into revenue-
generating functions such as sales, business development and new initiatives such as
wealth management.

Retail fee income growth at 11% yoy; non-interest income declines 2% yoy
Non-interest income declined 2% yoy as the base quarter had the benefit of FX gains on
repatriation. Growth across other categories such as fee income (5% yoy), treasury gains
(25% yoy), recovery in written-off accounts (22% yoy), FX income (21% yoy), dividend
(flat yoy) was healthy.
While overall fee income growth was 5% yoy, retail fee income was 11% yoy, reflecting
the pressure on corporate fees. Loan processing fees, comprising of ~18% of fees,
declined 8% yoy. Transaction fees, comprising ~30% of fees grew just 2% yoy.
Cross-sell can become an important driver of fee income going forward. This segment
comprises only 5% of fee income currently, despite nearly 40% CAGR over FY2013-17.
Bank is focusing on leveraging on data analytics on customized sales across nearly 420
mn strong customer franchise. Growth of the recently launched wealth management unit
will drive fee income.

Valuation methodology
We have introduced the merged financials from FY2018. Hence, the comparison with the
historicals would give an inaccurate picture.
We have removed the revaluation reserves from the adjusted net worth while valuing the
bank. It does not have a bearing on the functioning of the bank’s business but it has an
impact on book value. Note that ~20% of the net worth or ~30% of the adjusted net
worth of the bank is revaluation reserves. This change results in a lower book value/per
share. Consequently, we have increased the target multiple of the bank from ~1.1X to
1.5X currently reflecting the change in RoEs.

Strong 4QFY17 results led by improvement in performance of SMP business
Motherson Sumi has reported consolidated EBITDA of `12.4 bn (24.6% yoy), which was 6%
above our estimates due to (1) stronger-than-expected revenue growth in standalone and
SMP businesses and (2) better-than-expected profitability in the SMP business. Net profit
adjusted for one-off expenses was `5.4 bn (+27.8% yoy), which was 15% above our
estimates; higher outperformance at the net profit level was due to higher other income,
lower interest expenses and lower tax rate.
The company reported standalone EBITDA of `3.6 bn (+17.4% yoy), which was in line with
our estimates as stronger-than-expected revenue growth was offset by lower-than-expected
EBITDA margin. Revenues grew by 19% yoy led by strong growth in passenger vehicle
industry volumes and increase in market share due to presence in Maruti’s high-growth
models such as Baleno and Brezza. EBITDA margin came in 20.6% (down 20 bps and 60 bps
qoq), which was 100 bps below our estimates due to lower gross margins.
Revenues for SMR business were EUR420 mn (+15% yoy), which was in line with our
estimate. EBITDA margin came in at 12.9% (down 20 bps yoy and up 110 bps qoq) as
compared to our estimate of 12.5%. Revenues for SMP business were EUR810 mn (+21%
yoy), which was ahead of our estimate of 15% yoy growth. EBITDA margin came in at 6.8%
(up 160 bps yoy and up 90 bps qoq) as compared to our estimate of 6%.
Increase our estimates as we build in PKC acquisition; maintain SELL with revised TP of `340
We have increased our FY2018-19E consolidated EPS estimates by 9-11% as we build in PKC
acquisition in our estimates. Our earnings estimates for standalone entity and SMRPBV business
remain largely unchanged. For PKC Group, we build in (1) 9% revenue CAGR over CY2016-19E
and (2) 90 bps expansion in EBITDA margin leading to 13%/40% EBITDA and EPS CAGR over
CY2016-19E. We have revised our SoTP-based target price to ₹340 (from ₹300 earlier) due to
(1) PKC acquisition and (2) rollover to March 2019E.
Motherson Sumi Systems (MSS) Automobiles
Strong performance of SMP business. Motherson reported strong 4QFY17 results
with 25% yoy growth in consolidated EBITDA, which was 6% above our estimates due
to stronger-than-expected revenue growth and profitability of SMP business. Standalone
business reported 17% yoy EBITDA growth (in line) led by order wins for Maruti’s
successful models. Going ahead, while we remain positive on the company’s growth
prospects, we believe valuations are expensive at 23X FY2019E EPS. We maintain our
SELL rating with revised target price of ₹340 (₹300 earlier) as we build in PKC
acquisition in our estimates and roll over to March 2019E.

Consolidated EBITDA 6% ahead of estimates
Motherson Sumi has reported consolidated EBITDA of `12.4 bn (+24.6% yoy), which was
6% above our estimates due to (1) stronger-than-expected revenue growth and (2) better-
than-expected profitability in the SMP business. Consolidated revenues increased by 14.5%
yoy (KIE 10.7%), which was led by (1) 19% yoy revenue growth in the standalone business
and (2) 19% yoy revenue growth in SMRPBV business in euro terms. We note that euro has
depreciated by 4.3% on yoy basis in 4QFY17, thus reported SMRPBV revenues in rupee
terms increased by 14% yoy in 4QFY17. Net profit adjusted for one-off expenses (details
below) was `5.4 bn (+27.8% yoy), which was 15% above our estimates; higher
outperformance at net profit level was due to (1) higher other income (`948 mn versus
estimate of `430 mn), (2) lower interest expenses (`0.84 bn versus estimate of `1.1 bn) and
(3) lower tax rate (22.4% versus estimate of 33%). One-off expenses include costs incurred
in connection with the acquisition of PKC Group.
For FY2017, the company has reported (1) consolidated revenue growth of 14% led by
double-digit revenue growth in India and SMRPBV business, (2) EBITDA growth of 21% led
by 60 bps expansion in EBITDA margin driven by standalone and SMP business and (3)
adjusted net profit growth of 26%. The company has recommend (1) bonus shares in the
ratio of 1:2 (1 bonus share for every 2 shares held) and (2) dividend of `2 per share for
FY2017.
Standalone business: Strong quarter led by 17% yoy revenue growth
The company reported revenues of ₹17.4 bn (+18.9% yoy), which was 4% above our
estimates. Revenue growth was led by strong growth in passenger vehicle industry
volumes and increase in market share due to presence in Maruti’s high-growth models
such as Baleno and Brezza.
The company reported 4QFY17 EBITDA of `3.6 bn (+17.4% yoy), which was in line with
our estimates as stronger-than-expected revenue growth was offset by lower-than-
expected EBITDA margin. EBITDA margin came in 20.6% (down 20 bps and 60 bps qoq),
which was 100 bps below our estimates due to lower gross margins.
Net profit came in at `2.7 bn, which was 18% above our estimates due to lower-than-
expected interest expenses and tax rate. Interest expense was negative in the quarter
(despite gross debt of `13 bn) due to forex gain on loans led by rupee appreciation. Tax
rate for the quarter was 25.2% versus our estimate of 31.5%.
SMRPBV business: SMP’s revenue growth and EBITDA margin surprise positively
SMR business. Revenues increased by 14.8% yoy to EUR420 mn while EBITDA margin
came in at 12.9% (down 20 bps yoy and up 110 bps qoq). We were building in 15% yoy
revenue growth and 12.5% EBITDA margin in our estimates. For FY2017, revenues are
up 13% in euro terms and EBITDA margin was 10.8% (10.5% in FY2016).
SMP business. Revenues increased by 21.1% yoy to EUR810 mn while EBITDA margin
came in at 6.8% (up 160 bps yoy and up 90 bps qoq). We note that reported EBITDA
margin is after start-up expenses of EUR11 mn during the quarter (130 bps impact on
EBITDA margin). We were building in 15% yoy revenue growth and 6% EBITDA margin
in our estimates; thus the profitability was better than our estimates. For FY2017,
revenues are up 14% in euro terms and EBITDA margin was 6.4% (5.7% in FY2016).
Order book situation. The company has won new orders worth EUR4 bn in FY2017 and
current outstanding order book stands at EUR12.9 bn.
Net debt. Consolidated net debt `54.7 bn as of March 2017 (`43 bn as of March 2016).
Standalone net debt was `11 bn as of March 2017 versus `4.7 bn as of March 2016.
Increase in consolidated net debt (from `25.4 bn in 3QFY17) has increased due to PKC
Group acquisition.

Increase FY2018-19E EPS estimates by 9-11% due to PKC acquisition

In line; high costs affect VSF business while chemicals improve sequentially
Grasim Industries reported consolidated revenues of `100 bn (+1% yoy, +18% qoq), EBITDA of
`18.7 bn (-1% yoy, +17% qoq) and net income of `7.8 bn (+11% yoy, +6% qoq)—EBITDA
was in line with our estimate (KIE: `18.6 bn) though higher interest and depreciation cost led to
7% miss at the net level (KIE: `7.8 bn). In standalone financials, the company reported revenues
of `28.8 bn (+15% yoy, +15% qoq), EBITDA of `5.3 bn (+22% yoy, +3% qoq) and net income
of `3.2 bn (+33% yoy, -5% qoq) against our estimate of EBITDA of `5 bn and net income of
`3.2 bn. In standalone operations, VSF segment EBITDA declined 14% qoq to `3.5 bn (+29%
yoy) while Chemicals EBITDA increased 13% qoq to `2.1 bn (-8% yoy).
VSF earnings affected by higher pulp and energy costs; debottlenecking to aid capacity
VSF EBITDA of `3.5 bn (+30% yoy, -14% qoq) was impacted due to higher pulp and energy
costs (EBITDA margin of 18% in the quarter versus 23% in 3QFY17). Operations at the captive
plant at Harihar were suspended from February 2017 due to water shortage. The company will
resume operations at the pulp plant with the onset of monsoons. Pulp prices have declined and
the company expects margins to be restored in ensuing quarters. VSF volumes increased by 2%
yoy to 133,000 tons (+9% qoq) and the plants are operating at full capacity. Grasim is looking
at capacity debottlenecking and has applied for environmental clearances which it expects to
receive by the end of the year.
Maintain ADD rating with revised target price of `1,240/share (`1225 earlier)
We maintain our ADD rating on Grasim with a revised target price of `1,240/share (from
`1225/share) based on March 2019E financials. We raise our earnings estimate by 2-4% to
`85.6 and `100.5 for FY2018E and FY2019E respectively. The scheme of merger of Aditya Birla
Nuvo with Grasim and listing of the financial services business has been approved by
shareholders and creditors and is in process of approval from the National Company Law
Tribunal and stock exchanges. It is expected to be completed by 2QFY18.
Grasim Industries (GRASIM) Cement
In line; high costs affect VSF, but chemicals improve. Grasim Industries’ EBITDA of
`18.7 bn (-1% yoy, +17% qoq) was in line with our estimate. VSF earnings for the
quarter were impacted by higher pulp and energy costs though the company expects
margins to improve in the ensuing quarters. Grasim is on track to increase capacity in
the chemicals segment by 25% by end-FY2018E and has also applied for approvals for
debottlenecking to raise capacity in the VSF business. We maintain ADD rating with
revised TP of `1,240 (`1,225 earlier).

Our SOTP-based TP of `1,240/share comprises (1) `738/share value for 60% ownership in
Ultratech valued at 30% holding company discount on our fair value of `2,950/share, (2)
VSF (`215/share) and chemicals (`155/share), valued at 7X EBITDA on March 2019E, (3)
`60/share for investments held in equity of group companies (at 30% discount to CMPs),
and (4) `70/share for net cash held by Grasim Industries (standalone).
Changes in our estimates
Exhibit 6 highlights key changes in our estimates. We raise our consolidated EBITDA estimate
for FY2018-19E by 0-1% largely led by increase in standalone EBITDA. Our FY2018-19E
earnings estimate increases by 2%. We estimate EPS of `85.6, `100.5 and `114.7 for
FY2018E, FY2019E and FY2020E, respectively
Chemicals – lower offtake in the quarter due to lower chlorine demand
Chemicals EBITDA of `2.1 bn (-8% yoy, +13% qoq) was impacted due to lower offtake
during the quarter—volumes declined 6% yoy to 194,000 tons (+1% qoq). Lower chlorine
demand restricted caustic soda production. The decline in EBITDA by 8% yoy reflects (1)
increase in power costs due to higher coal prices, (2) lower caustic volumes partially offset by
33% increase in chlorine value added products. The company is working on a plan to
increase production capacity to 1,048 kt from 840 kt in FY2018 and the plant is expected to
be commissioned by 4QFY18. The company also expects to double Phosphoric Acid capacity
to 54 kt in 2HFY18 from 25 kt.
Cement - weak volumes, lower realizations and rising costs drag earnings down
Ultratech’s 4QFY17 earnings were in line with our estimates—the company reported net
sales of `66 bn (+3% yoy, +19% qoq), EBITDA of `12.8 bn (-7% yoy, +22% qoq) and net
income (adjusted) of `7 bn (-10% yoy, +25% qoq) against our estimates of `66.3 bn, `12.7
bn and `7 bn respectively. Domestic cement volumes were flat yoy at 13.4 mn tons (+21%
qoq), although lower than 4% volume growth reported by ACC. UTCEM attributed lower
sales to weak demand especially in north markets given the negative sentiment in housing
market (demand was weak in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Punjab).
EBITDA/ton declined by 7% yoy to `957/ton (+1% qoq) due to an increase in overall costs
(+6% yoy) to `3,983/ton despite improved realizations (+3% yoy). Cost increases largely
pertain to higher fuel costs (+23% due to increase in pet-coke prices by 55%), freight costs
and other expenses. Weak EBITDA led to 10% yoy decline in net income at `7 bn despite
higher other income of `2.4 bn (led by a write back of `1.4 bn of provisions).

Coal holds the mantle for consolidated earnings during the quarter
Tata Power reported adjusted consolidated profits of `3.8 bn substantially higher than profits of
`479 mn reported during the same period last year. The earnings performance was primarily
boosted by strong contribution from coal subsidiaries reflected in `3 bn contribution to
consolidated earnings from the share of associates, compared to a loss of `3 bn during the
same period last year. The performance also gains prominence on account of (1) continued
losses at Mundra UMPP—`1.4 bn during the quarter, (2) losses of `10 mn at Tata Power Delhi
Distribution, and (3) 18% yoy decline in earnings at Maithon as well. Reported losses of `2.6 bn
include the write-off of `6.5 bn pertaining to advances given towards investment in DoCoMo.
Standalone business performance impacted by higher interest cost
Tata Power reported weak earnings for the standalone business at `580 mn (-84% yoy) owing
to (1) provision of `300 mn during the quarter, (2) higher interest cost of `3.6 bn (+30% yoy)
related to the acquisition debt for Welspun assets, (3) absence of interest income from Mundra
UMPP as TPWR has stopped charging Mundra UMPP, and (4) tax reversal of `690 mn during
the same period last year. We highlight that TPWR has reported other operating income
clubbed with the revenue line, and that distorts the reported numbers in comparison to our
estimates as well as for the preceding quarters. Reported losses of `6 bn includes non-recurring
losses of `6.5 bn being write-off for payments made to DoCoMo as part of the put option for
sale of equity exercised by the latter.
Maintain REDUCE rating with target price of `80/share
We maintain our REDUCE rating and target price of `80/share on Tata Power. We note that
drag on earnings from Mundra UMPP will continue to weigh on the overall earnings of Tata
Power, though we would monitor potential company action towards (1) reducing generation
cost at Mundra UMPP through alternate fuel sourcing measures, and (2) reduction in overall
leverage in the company through monetization of non-core investments. In our view, the above
measures if pursued successfully could help in mitigating earnings as well as balance sheet
concerns of the company.
Tata Power (TPWR) Utilities
Down, but not out. Tata Power’s earnings in FY2017 were largely premised on
improving coal prices that aided better contribution from the ownership of mines in
Indonesia, even as this benefit was partly curtailed by incremental losses at Mundra
UMPP. An unfavorable ruling on fuel cost under-recovery at Mundra has not deterred
the management, which remains committed to finding alternate solutions to curtail fuel
cost under-recovery. TPWR is also looking to bring down balance sheet debt, possibly
through monetization of investments in group telecom businesses. Maintain REDUCE
rating with target price of `80/share.

Mundra UMPP—higher fuel cost raises under-recovery to `0.86/kwh
Mundra UMPP saw a sharp 94% yoy decline in EBITDA at `240 mn in 4QFY17 on account
of 29% yoy increase in cost of generation despite maintaining higher availability compared
to the same period last year. Net losses of `1.4 bn would have been worse off but for the
sharp reduction (68% yoy) in interest cost for the quarter on account of waiver of interest by
Tata Power and derivative gains of `1 bn, besides forex gains of `1.3 bn. Under-recovery
increased to `0.86/kwh as tariff revision on account of higher coal prices for the escalable
component happens with a six month lag.
For full year 2017, Mundra UMPP had losses of `8.4 bn with under-recovery of `0.6/kwh,
though the increase in fuel cost was partly offset by 48% yoy reduction in interest cost on
account of mark-to-market gains. We highlight that even as TPWR seeks legal opinion on
the verdict of the Supreme Court, the company is looking at alternate fuel sourcing options
that may allow it to reduce cost of generation.
Maithon—higher overheads dent earnings for the quarter
Maithon saw an 18% yoy decline in net income at `610 mn despite (1) 8% yoy growth in
generation at 1,826 MU, and (2) higher plant availability at 94% owing to increase in repair
and maintenance expenses during the quarter. Performance for full-year FY2017 was more
representative with 37% yoy increase in net income at `2.5 bn benefitting from sale
arrangements for the full capacity of 1,050 MW that increased regulated equity to `14.4 bn
(from `14 bn in 2016). Maithon plant has stabilized and will likely continue to accrue stable
regulated returns at current levels from hereon.

One-off masks 4Q performance
Sharp expansion in NIM; higher provisions offset. Muthoot reported PAT of ₹3.2 bn, up 21%
yoy and 18% above estimates. The company reported 1.2% qoq loan growth as compared
to 2% qoq decline in 3QFY17 when demonetization had badly hit its operating environment.
NII was up 32% yoy on the back of 12% loan growth but sharp NIM improvement (17% as
compared to 10-11% in past three quarter). The company made large extra provisions
smoothing the impact of large income recognition/NIM expansion during the quarter.
Income recognition provides a boost. Muthoot has followed a conservative policy to stop
income recognition on loans that may cross high LTV (typically due to fall in gold prices).
The company, however, had to change its conservative income recognition policy in 4QFY17
after an opinion expressed by Income Tax authorities. As such, in 4QFY17, Muthoot
recognized income that it had voluntarily not recognized in the past (pent-up, one-time
impact on NIM in 4Q). In order to maintain its prudential approach, it made large provisions
(3.6% of loans as compared to 0.1% in previous quarters). In the conference call,
management highlighted that extra provisions made during the quarter were almost
equivalent to the extra one-time income benefits, thus implying that qoq performance
excluding these one-offs was strong as well.
Business growth on track
We believe that impact of one-offs and episodes such as demonetization and income recognition
made in 4Q are behind us. Muthoot is now well-placed to deliver a moderate 14-15% medium-
term loan book CAGR; recent gold price rally (up 10% qoq in INR terms) provides a boost.
Declining borrowing cost is also providing tailwinds. Post our revisions in estimates to factor in
higher NIM (up 12%), we expect the company to deliver about 19% medium-term RoE and
14-15% EPS growth. At our target price of ₹440 (up from ₹380), the stock will trade at 2X
FY2019E book. Regulatory prescription of migration to the digital lending platform may pose
some challenges though the company has effectively demonstrated its ability to make the
transition to digital collections (10% of its borrowers transacted on the electronic platform).
Effective execution of non-gold business (5% of consolidated AUMs; management guidance of
10% in FY2018) remains crucial.
Muthoot Finance (MUTH) NBFCs
Gets back on track. Muthoot reported 1.2% qoq loan growth, shedding the impact of
demonetization, even as quarterly performance was masked by one-off in interest
recognition and provisions. We expect steady operating performance from here
although its business remains sensitive to gold price movements. Non-gold businesses
are gathering momentum posing upside/downside to our core business estimates.

above). GNPLs ratio (120 dpd) declined to 2.1% from 2.9% yoy and qoq.
AUM growth of 12% yoy and up 1.2% qoq
Gold prices in India were up 10% qoq 4QFY17 versus 10% decline in 3QFY17. This,
supported by waning impact of demonetization, has led to loan growth resumption.
Historic trends suggest that gold loan growth is very volatile and has high linkages with gold
price movements. With no strong directional view on gold prices (ignoring recent gold price
rally), we model moderate growth of 14-15% in our forecasts. The company is increasingly
focusing on non-gold segments, which though provide diversification, pose a risk to nascent
and fast-growing portfolio.

High growth in housing and microfinance
Muthoot is rapidly scaling up its non-gold loan business. This is done through three key
subsidiaries – Muthoot Homefin – an affordable housing finance business, Asia Asset –
multi-product in Sri Lanka, and Belstar Investment and Finance (microfinance); total
investment in all the three companies is ₹2 bn. The share of these loans is about 5% of
total, which, the management guided, will double next year. Muthoot has a multi-decade
experience of lending against gold but little track-record in other segments.
Muthoot Homefin is a subsidiary focused on affordable housing and loan book of ₹4.4
bn (₹441 mn in 1QFY17). It has a network of about eight branches and per loan ticket
size of ₹1.1 mn – lower than most housing finance companies.
Muthoot owns 64% in Belstar Investment finance – a microfinance business with loan
book of ₹5.66 bn (up 114% in last one year). The company is operates MFI business in
Tamil Nadu.

NIM improves sharply; expect moderation over time
Muthoot reported NIM of 17% in 4QFY17, 10.7% in 3QFY17 as compared to 14.1% in
4QFY16.
Most gold loans of Muthoot have tenure of 12 months. In most cases, loan has a bullet
repayment; assuming 120 dpd NPL norms, its accrued interest before a loan can be
classified as NPL can be up to a period of 16 months. In the past, Muthoot may stop
interest recognition if LTV (including accrued interest) crosses its comfort LTV levels. Post
discussion with income tax authorities, the company decided to recognize all income and
then make a relevant provision against the same. The one-time impact of the same was
reflected in 4QFY17 – calculated lending rate was up to 25% from 20-21% over the past
few quarters.
A key notable improvement is on the liability side. Reported cost of borrowing was down
90 bps to 9.7% largely due to re-pricing of bank loans, increase in share of NCDs (18%
from 14% in 3QFY17).
We expect Muthoot to pass on the benefit of lower interest rate to its borrowers. At the
same time, we continue to expect competition to continue. We are hence factoring
compression in interest spread to 9.2% in FY2020E from 10.4% in FY2017.

One-time provisions, gross NPL decline
Reported GNPL ratio declined ~80 bps qoq. Muthoot reported GNPLs of ₹5.6 bn (2.1%
of loans) in 4QFY17, up from ₹7.8 bn (2.9% of loans) in 3QFY17. This was largely
following large loan auctions, which are typically carried out in 4Q. Elevated gold prices
also worked in its favor.
The company continued its policy of 100 bps standard asset provisions. Additionally, the
company made one-time provisions of ₹2.33 bn out of total provisions of ₹2.43 bn
(3.6%of assets as compared to 0.1-0.2% in the past).
We expect provisions to be a bit higher due to its new policy to recognize higher income
and make extra provisions against the same. Eventual credit losses will, however, remain
unchanged.

Expenses inch up
Operating costs increased 19% yoy, as staff costs increased 21% yoy (largely linked to
incentive payouts) while non-staff expenses were stable yoy.
Cost to assets ratio moved up to 4.9% from 4.4% in 3QFY17 and 4.6% in 4QFY17.
Muthoot has been showing good level of cost control in recent quarters with cost ratios (%
of AUM) having been around 4.4-4.9% range compared to 5.1-5.3% in FY2015. We expect
expenses to increase by 11-12% over FY2017-20E, translating into cost to asset ratio of
3.9% by FY2020E from 4.3% in FY2017.

Strong operating performance; but high slippages remain a concern
KVB reported strong earnings growth of 58% yoy on the back of solid revenue growth of 27%
yoy and stable operating costs which resulted in operating profit growth of 55% yoy. The bank
reported 23% yoy NII growth but loan growth was weak at 4% yoy. NIM improved 35bps to
4%. The bank has changed its accounting for losses on account of sale of loans to ARCs. The
quarterly loss of `632 mn which was being charged to other operating expenses is now
included in provisions. Slippages were disappointingly high at 4% of loans though the
management indicated that this was driven by the corporate segment in accounts where a
resolution is already at the verge of clearance. Slippages were essentially driven by their
watchlist which has been gradually reducing. Gross NPLs increased 90bps qoq to 3.7% while
net NPLs increased 80 bps qoq to 2.5%. The strong coverage ratio of ~70% in the past
declined to 58% in the current quarter.
Low growth and higher slippages override the valuation argument
We believe that KVB has reasonably strong upsides to offer from current levels. The stock is
inexpensive at 1.3X book and 8X FY2018 EPS for RoEs in the range of 12-15% levels in the
short term. Two major challenges: (1) slippages have been persistently higher as compared to
other regional banks. The internal watchlist is being reduced but the pace is not comforting. (2)
Loan growth has been weak for the past four years. The management has been highlighting its
risk aversion and aggressive competition leading to subpar return in the large corporate
segment, but we find it difficult to understand the lower growth print in the SME
segment/retail. We are hopeful these issues will be addressed as the management continues to
highlight the difference between sanctions and utilization.
Maintain BUY: strong margins and last leg of NPL recognition drive our positive view
We maintain our BUY rating (TP at ₹130 from `110 earlier) on the bank as we believe that the
underlying valuations are undemanding at current levels. We should see growth returning to
~12-15% levels in FY2018-19E, which should result in RoEs moving closer to 13-15% levels. At
our TP, we value the bank at 1.4X book and 9X March 2019E EPS.
Karur Vysya Bank (KVB) Banks
A quarter where profits take precedence. KVB reported 58% yoy growth in
earnings on the back of strong growth in revenues. Gross NPLs increased 90bps qoq
due to corporate slippages, but some of it could be upgraded shortly. The drop in
coverage ratio is disappointing despite strong headline profits. We do believe that the
scope for rerating of the bank is high considering that we are closer to the end of peak
slippages of the bank. Maintain BUY with TP at `130 (from `110 earlier)

Loan growth remains slow at 5% yoy and 8% qoq
Loan growth remains a challenge at just 5% yoy, even as qoq growth was better at 8%.
Loan growth has been sluggish for the past eight consecutive quarters at ~5-7% levels. This
will mark the fourth consecutive year of weak loan growth for the bank.
The bank reported relatively better performance in the retail (7% yoy and 4% qoq) and
commercial/SME (14% yoy growth and 11% qoq). The large corporate segment declined
1% yoy as bank infrastructure loans (~7% of loans) declined 12% yoy which is partly
explained by the discom bonds as power sector exposure declined 33% yoy.
We expect loan growth to improve to 12-15% yoy in FY2018-19E driven by growth in retail
and SME loans. Loan growth remains a challenge for the bank. Since FY2014, there always
seems to be newer headwinds in the business causing this slowdown. We had the gold loan
issue in FY2013-15 and given its size the decline was a cause of major concern.
Subsequently, the focus of the slowdown was led by the large corporate segment where the
bank turned cautious post the rise in NPLs. However, it does appear that the recent
slowdown is being led by the inability of the bank to defend its existing customers as
refinancing is being done aggressively by larger banks with stronger balance sheets.
Given the sluggish business environment and benign competition from public banks, we
would have expected KVB to move a lot more aggressively but the recent performance,
especially in the SME sector is a case of clear disappointment. We await more clarity from
the management as we do believe that these issues can be addressed as we are not too sure
if this is being led by high levels of caution post the rise in NPLs reported by the bank in
recent years.

Exhibit 4: Loan growth slowed on the back of decline in growth in gold loans and large corporates Break-up of loan book, March fiscal year-ends, 2011-17 (%)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Impaired loans decline ~40 bps qoq to 5.6%; slippages rise qoq
The bank reported decline in slippages qoq to 4.1% likely due to slippage from restructured
loans. Impaired loans declined 40 bps qoq to 5.6%, comprising of 3.6% GNPL (up 90 bps
qoq) and 2.0% standard restructured loans (down 130 bps qoq). We await further clarity on
the source of these slippages. Provision coverage ratio declined sharply during the quarter by
10 percentage points to 58% (including write-off).
The bank is amortizing loss on loans sold to ARC in the previous quarter. The balance
outstanding is about `1.85 bn. Unlike most of the other banks which are taking the impact
of the loss through provisions, KVB is routing this loss through operating expenses.
Cost-income unsustainably declines to 38%
Cost income ratio improved to ~38%, the lowest in many quarters. Reported operating
expense declined 2% yoy as staff cost declined 1% yoy as the bank has apparently reversed
the provision for pension in the light of rise in interest rates in 4QFY17. We see bank
slowing down on branch expansion (7% yoy) and employee additions (6% yoy decline).
We believe that the bank would continue to focus on improving productivity from existing
branches rather than increasing infrastructure presence, especially as demand conditions
appears fairly weak. We expect cost-income ratio to decline to ~50% by FY2019E.
Other highlights in the quarter
CASA growth was impressive at ~30% yoy but declined 12% qoq, with CASA ratio of
28% declining from 31% qoq.
Non-interest income increased 40% yoy due to treasury gains. Core fee income growth
was 19% yoy.
Tier-1 ratio improved ~80 bps qoq to 11.9% with CAR of 12.5%

4QFY17— print ad revenues decline, cost management better than expected
Print ad revenues declined 2.7% yoy (KIE 0%) to `3.1 bn due to continued weakness in print ad
environment following demonetization and marginal impact of RERA on real estate
advertisements. The management indicated that print ad growth recovered to high single digits
in April. Circulation revenues grew 7% (KIE 9%); growth has moderated to 8% in 2H from
13% in 1H. Radio and digital revenues grew 11% yoy (KIE 11%) and 19% yoy (KIE 30%).
Radio business EBITDA margin was down to 24% from 39% due to costs associated with the
launch of new stations. RM cost increase was contained at 1% yoy despite 7% yoy increase in
newsprint prices; DBCL tweaked pagination and newsprint mix. Other expenses declined 2.8%
yoy against our estimate of 3% growth. EBITDA at `1.12 bn (-2% yoy) missed our estimate by
7%. Net profit of `640 mn was flat yoy and 7% below our estimate. DB Corp has not declared
final dividend and it plans to return cash to shareholders through other means.
FY2017 review and FY2018 outlook
DB Corp reported 6.5%, 10.5%, 18% and 23% growth in print ad revenues, circulation
revenues, radio revenues and digital revenues in FY2017. EBITDA/PAT grew 20%/27% yoy led
by 240 bps margin expansion and partly aided by provision reversals (`200-250 mn). We note
muted print ad revenue CAGR of 2.3% over FY2014-17. The underlying demand for print
advertising remains weak— local advertising has not fully recovered after demonetization and
real estate category ad spends have been hit by RERA. Ad growth in FY2018 will be a function
of (1) the influence of GST on local unorganized segment and local advertising, and (2) pick up
in ad spends ahead of elections in DB Corp’s key markets (Gujarat 2HFY18, Rajasthan and MP
2HFY19). We note that GST of 5% on print advertising (versus nil earlier) would aid DB Corp’s
revenues without any increase in tax outgo given input tax credits. We expect modest
acceleration in print ad growth to high single digits in FY2018.
We trim earnings estimates by 3-5 %; maintain REDUCE
We trim FY2018/19E print ad growth forecast to 9%/10.6% from 10.4%/10.8%; it results in 3-
5% cut in EPS. We expect DB Corp to deliver 18% CAGR in earnings over FY2017-19E aided by
10% CAGR in revenues and 285 bps margin expansion aided by cost optimization. However, in
our view, re-rating calls for acceleration in print ad growth or significant increase in the share of
radio + digital in total ad revenues from 11% at present. Maintain our cautious stance.
DB Corp. (DBCL) Media
Weak print. DB Corp reported 2.7% yoy decline in print ad revenues (KIE 0%) due to
extended weakness in print ad spends post demonetization. Low base and state
elections would aid ad growth this fiscal whereas the impact of GST on local
unorganized businesses and local ad spends needs to be watched. We cut FY2018-19E
EPS by 3-5%. Rollover to Mar-19 with revised TP of `390 (`380 earlier) valuing DB Corp
at 14X FY2019 earnings. Retain REDUCE.

4QFY17 results print – weaker-than-expected performance dragged by weak HI performance
JYL’s 4QFY17 performance was weaker than expected on all fronts – net revenues grew 4%
yoy to Rs4.46 bn (5% below estimates) and EBITDA was flat yoy at Rs603 mn (10% below our
estimates). Revenue growth was led by 5.1% yoy volume growth (9.7% yoy ex-HI). EBITDA
margin contracted 50 bps yoy dragged by 190 bps contraction in GM partly negated by tight
cost control (40 bps and 80 bps drop in staff costs and other expenses respectively) and 2%
jump in A&SP. We note GM contraction was primarily dragged by higher promotions (up 60%
yoy); adjusted for promotions (netted off from revenues under Ind-AS), GM was up 10 bps yoy.
We note reported PAT witnessed sharp jump to Rs1.09 bn (up from Rs123 mn in base quarter)
due to reversal of tax provisions on account of merger of JCPML; due to merger of JCPML,
deferred tax assets/MAT credit on brought forward losses has been recognized in FY2017 –
Rs920 mn (balance carried forward losses of Rs830 mn). Recurring PAT (adjusted for tax
reversal) grew 74% yoy to Rs169 mn due to lower ETR (high base in 4QFY16).
Modest growth ex-HI; HI posts 6.5% yoy decline in revenues for the quarter
Overall sales grew 3.7% yoy led by 5.1% yoy volume growth; however, barring HI (which
posted 6.5% yoy decline), sales grew 7.1% yoy and volumes grew 9.7% yoy. Most segments
witnessed modest growth led by personal wash (up 22.5% yoy led by Margo restage) and
fabric care (up 8.4% yoy led by Ujala Crisp & Shine – grew 37% yoy). Dishwash portfolio
posted modest 4.2% yoy growth in revenues for the quarter while HI sales declined, dragged
by 7.4% yoy decline in Maxo coils (we note Maxo LVs grew 11.5% yoy). Margin performance
(at EBIT level) was weak for dishwash and HI (margins down 340-390 bps yoy) while fabric care
(up 40 bps) and personal care (up 310 bps) posted margin expansion.
Henkel ‘call’ renders fundamentals irrelevant; retain Not Rated rating
JYL is a tricky stock for a fundamental analyst at this point. Henkel call option (to buy up to
26% stake in JYL) had vested on April 1, 2016 and the stock price continues to value the
potential upside from a likely open offer in case Henkel exercises this option (extended to
October 2017 from March 2017 earlier). We tried hard but failed to figure out any fundamental
basis of estimating this ‘value upside’. Retain our Not Rated coverage view on the stock.
Jyothy Laboratories (JYL) Consumer Products
Weaker-than-expected performance. JYL reported a weaker-than-expected quarter
with 5-10% miss in revenues and EBITDA; reported PAT growth was aided by reversal
of tax provision on account of JCPML merger. Input cost inflation showed up in
4QFY17; however, JYL has taken price hikes and remains confident of maintaining
margins. Lower tax guidance drives 7-8% upgrade in our EPS estimates in FY2018-19E.
The stock remains Not Rated for us (Henkel option extended to October 31, 2017).

Earnings call takeaways
Comment on Henkel stake option. Management categorically highlighted that it
doesn’t want Henkel’s involvement in managing business operations and hence
negotiations are taking a bit of time (option for 26% stake has been extended to
October 31 versus March 31, 2017 earlier). JYL will remain on an independent growth
path and promoter stake will not go below 51%, irrespective of deal structure.
Management highlighted that JYL remains committed to its innovation pipeline and
will continue to invest behind its brands in FY2018 and hasn’t taken any course
correction post demonetization. It plans to maintain A&SP at 15% of sales (as under
IGAAP).
JYL has taken 7-8% price hike in Exo (through combination of price hikes and
grammage cut) and 8-10% hike in Ujala fabric whitener. It is awaiting clarity on GST
to decide on further pricing actions.

Merger of JCPML with JYL. JCPML (formerly Henkel India Marketing) has been
merged with JYL effective April 1, 2015. Consequently, all assets and liabilities of
JCPML have been recorded at their fair value. Due to merger of JCPML, deferred tax
assets/MAT credit on brought forward losses has been recognized in FY2017 – Rs920
mn (balance carried forward losses of Rs830 mn). Consequently, management has
guided for 10-12% ETR in FY2018 (due to accumulated losses) and MAT rate in
FY2019.
Other takeaways. (1) JYL’s direct reach is little under 0.8 mn outlets and is looking to
grow it by 20% each year, (2) the company has successfully commenced commercial
production of Ujala fabric whitener, Margo and Maxo LVs in FY2017 at Guwahati
(north east) – these manufacturing units are entitled to avail 100% IT benefits under
Section 80 IE for next 9 years and (3) it has successfully commenced SAP S4 Hana from
April 1, 2017 for all group companies across all modules.
Key brand-wise takeaways
Ujala – Ujala franchise posted 9.8% yoy growth for the quarter led by strong 37% yoy
growth in Ujala Crisp & Shine; we note Ujala fabric whitener grew 3.7% yoy while Ujala
detergent growth slowed down to 8.7% yoy due to market share loss. Management
highlighted that Ujala Crisp & Shine posted 29% yoy growth for FY2017 – highest
ever growth in last 3 years and is on track to become a Rs1 bn + brand in FY2018
(already Rs600 mn size). It is currently present only in two states – Kerala and TN.
Henko – Henko posted 2.9% yoy decline in revenues – sharp deceleration from 20%
yoy growth in 3QFY17 (despite demonetization); for full year Henko posted 8.8% yoy
growth. Management highlighted – (1) its overall ambition for Henko remains to keep
it as a niche offering and not compete with larger players in premium detergents.
Dishwash – (1) Exo posted a modest 3.3% yoy growth for the quarter (6.8% in
F20Y17) and (2) Pril liquids posted 2.1% yoy growth during the quarter (up 6.5% in
FY2017). Overall dishwash portfolio posted 4% yoy growth for the quarter (up 7% in
FY2017). Management highlighted – (1) its recent innovation of Pril 500 tub is
growing at a very fast pace and now contributes to ~32% of total Pril bar portfolio
and (2) Exo scrubbers posted 5.2% yoy decline for the quarter; however, the brand is
sizeable now at Rs885 mn and is heading towards Rs1 bn+ size in FY2018.
Maxo – Maxo continued its weak run posting 6.5% yoy decline during the quarter
(down 6.1% in FY2017); growth during the quarter was dragged by sustained impact
on wholesale channel (especially in east markets) which impacted coil sales particularly
(Maxo coils down 7.4% yoy for the quarter, 6.8% for FY2017). Maxo LVs continue to
do well and posted 11.5% yoy growth for the quarter (2.3% yoy decline for the full
year). However, Maxo cards posted a sharp 47% yoy decline in revenues to Rs51 mn
(22% yoy decline for full year); management indicated that the HI cards market has
started to decline as category consumers are shifting back to coils.
Margo – Margo posted a solid rebound posting 19.3% yoy growth in revenues for the
quarter (up 4.1% yoy for FY2017) aided by brand restage (core relaunched in Margo,
2017).

Results – strong all-round performance leads to FY2017 RoE of 20%
KEC reported a strong 4QFY17 EBITDA of Rs3 bn, up 29% yoy and 8% ahead of our estimates.
Most of the EBITDA growth was driven by a 150 bps yoy expansion in EBITDA margin to
10.4%, net of ~300 bps yoy increase in gross margin and 150 bps higher other expenses as
share of sales. Revenue growth was modest at 10%, driven by railways (grew 3X) and partly
impacted by currency impact of translating revenues of SAE Towers. Interest cost declined 10%
yoy, leading to a stronger 73% yoy growth in PBT. Lower tax rate (30%) further boosted PAT to
Rs1.45 bn, up 91% yoy and 38% ahead of our estimate. FY2017 has been a similarly strong
year, not growing in execution but still growing EBITDA/PBT by 18%/59%. Sharper-than-
expected decline in receivables and strong cash profit have reduced debt by more than Rs11 bn
over FY2017, improving pre-tax RoCE to 14.5% and RoE to 20%.
Guidance has credibility based on quantum and mix of order book and risks taken into account
Good order backlog lends credibility to the 15% revenue growth guidance for FY2018, which
bakes in a few months of disturbance from implementation of GST. Management envisages
double-digit growth in T&D and scale-up in railways (2X) and solar (3X). It defended the 9.5%
EBITDA margin guidance (versus 9.3% in FY2017) on the back of composition of the order
backlog and operating leverage. It expects to further reduce interest cost to 2.5-2.7% of sales
(from 2.9% in FY2017) based on reduction in receivable days (civil and solar has limited
requirements); does not bake in any improvement in cost of debt on the back of improved
credit ratings.
Good pipeline shared across segments
KEC shared good growth prospects in T&D domestic (states, PGCIL, TBCB), T&D overseas
(substation, SAARC) and railways. It also shared scope for growing its new civil business,
targeting ordering in the industrial and select (Rs1-3 bn) residential jobs. The management has
built capabilities in the civil space and has hired the business head for this business from L&T;
has already won Rs4.2 bn of orders in FY2018.
Cut in revenue more than compensated by higher margin and lower interest; ADD stays
We revise estimates for FY2018/19 to Rs14.9/19.2, an increase of 2-6%. We broadly maintain
our EBITDA estimates through lower estimates for debtor days and tax rate.
KEC International (KECI) Industrials
Blockbuster end to a great year. A very strong performance in 4QFY17 marked end
to a great year for KEC, lacking in execution but still growing EBITDA/PBT by 18%/59%.
Large decline in debt was attributable to both large cash profits and reduction in
debtors. Good FY2018 guidance given appears credible based on large order backlog
and builds in risk associated with GST disruption, current FX rate and no decline in G-
Sec rates; can drive further increase in RoE from current 20%. We increase multiple to
14X from 13X and estimates by 2-6%; revise March 2019E TP to Rs270 (from Rs235).

4QFY17 earnings call takeaways
Guidance for FY2018. On the back of a strong starting backlog, the management has
guided for 15% topline growth in FY2018 with an EBITDA margin of 9.5%. The company
also has an L1 position in Rs33 bn worth of orders and can further improve order inflows.
While T&D forms the bulk of the company’s revenues and will grow in double digits in
FY2018, faster growth may be achieved in other segments on a low base. The company
thus expects: (1) Railways segment to grow by nearly 70% yoy to reach revenues of Rs7.5
bn, (2) Solar segment that achieved revenues of ~Rs1.7-1.8 bn in FY2017 is expected to
triple the revenues in FY2018 on the back of robust order inflows for large-capacity solar
plants won in FY2017 and (3) faster growth in cables segment as well. Margins will
improve marginally led by operating leverage benefits.
Domestic T&D orders will continue, both PGCIL and states. The management
mentioned that PGCIL has a budgeted spending of Rs245 bn in FY2018 and the entity is
optimistic of meeting that target. Further, states such as Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil
Nadu, Odisha, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are ordering projects as well.
The company is selectively participating in state contracts.
Overseas T&D orders have picked up as well. The company received significant order
inflows from international markets during FY2017 with a good pipeline seen from Asian
countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan). Expected inflows from
North America did not materialize for SAE during the year and is a cause for concern for
the management. However, the company expects better performance in the Brazilian
market in FY2018. The government and political scenario in Brazil is expected to be stable
in the coming year as the impeachment events of last year are over.
Further, KEC has not been a major player in the overseas substation orders so far.
However, the company currently has ~Rs8 bn worth of substation orders in the
international markets and expects to grow faster in this area.
GST disruption impact to be skirted by targeting international execution. The
company expects a material disruption in domestic activities in the initial period post
implementation of GST staring July 2017. The disruption will be especially felt by a
company like KEC that procures and supplies materials all over the country. The
management plans to tackle the initial hiccups by focusing on the execution of strong
international T&D backlog.
Deleveraging exercise to continue, especially on receivables. The management plans
to bring down account receivables from ~200 days of sales to ~180 days of sales despite
a strong 15% yoy revenue growth expected in FY2018. The cash flows will be used to
repay working capital debt. The management targets to bring down the interest cost
from 3% of sales to 2.5-2.7% by end-FY2018. The deleveraging exercise could also
improve return ratios further as interest cost reduces.
Aiming for quick ramp-up on new vertical of civil construction. The company has
forayed into the area of civil EPC contracts involving sub-segments such as buildings &
factories and residential realty. The management asserted that unlike the previous
attempts of water and solar verticals, the company has built the capability before bidding
for projects in this vertical. The management also cited hiring of experienced industry
persons in order to push into the new vertical.

Other takeaways.
The company has turned around the cables segment with a positive PBT in FY2017.
The business being commoditized, the company will expand capacity only if ordering
for value-added products, such as EHV cables, picks up. The company has also won a
220 kV cable order from PGCIL and this order will make it qualified to bid for similar
such orders in the future providing a volume boost to the cables segment.
The company expects 5-6% of EBITDA margins in solar, but given zero debt and low
assets for the segment, this margin largely flows down to PBT level for the segment.

Standalone: Gains from steady growth levered up by improving working capital
More than the expectedly strong 18% growth in EBITDA in 4QFY17, KPTL surprised positively
by maintaining debt levels yoy despite growing top-line 14% yoy. This was likely led by increase
in customer advances, more than negating the deterioration in debtor days. Related sharp
decline in interest cost coupled with a slightly lower tax rate led to a strong 36% growth in
PAT. Full-year financials were not very different with 14%/17%/40% growth in
revenues/EBITDA/PAT. We expect a stronger 17%/18%/23% growth in these metrics in
FY2018, broadly in line with guidance; backlog at ~2X trailing revenues provides comfort.
Subsidiaries: JMC benefitting from strong cash profits; Shubham worsens
JMC’s reported modest growth in execution, stabilizing margin and sharp decline in interest
cost in 4QFY17. It generated Rs1 bn of cash profits in FY2017, leading to a debt decline of
Rs0.7 bn in the year. Prospects for ordering appear strong as the company goes international
for both civil construction and infrastructure orders. JMC expects the same to drive strong
growth in orders to Rs45 bn in FY2018 (static at Rs30 bn for the past three years); guided for a
15-20% revenue growth with improving margin. Shubham Logistics ended the year on a weak
note. Full-year cash loss at Rs0.6 bn would have consumed most of the Rs0.75 bn infused
earlier by KPTL. KPTL expects the entity to reach EBITDA breakeven in FY2018.
Funding into assets to be a mix of equity and loss funding; cash cow in standalone comforts
KPTL highlighted funding of ~Rs1.7/3.7 bn from the standalone entity required over the next
one/three years, comprising (1) recently won T&D BOOT assets (Rs3 bn in all) and (2) Shubham
(potentially another Rs0.7 bn in FY2018). We ascribe a conservative 1X book value to such T&D
investments (despite historical 15-16% RoE profile) and almost nil value for the investments in
Shubham. Standalone balance sheet has absorbed a similar Rs4 bn increase in investments/L&A
over FY2013-17 while maintaining debt levels and growing business 1.5X.
Broadly maintain operational estimates; build in benefit of declining working capital
We maintain our estimates for EBITDA though build in further decline in working capital (less
support to subsidiaries) to 65 days of sales from 77 days at end-FY2017, on normalization of
retention money. This leads to ~6% higher EPS estimates for FY2018E-19E.
Kalpataru Power Transmission (KPP) Industrials
Resilient performance. Beyond a steady operational year in FY2017, what is
noteworthy is KPTL maintaining standalone debt at FY2013 levels despite large
investments and revenues becoming 1.5X. Similar scope of further investments
notwithstanding, we envisage a similar scale-up in business over FY2017-20E to help
achieve guidance for 20% pre-tax RoCE. Business concentration is the key risk, with
Africa accounting for 36% of standalone backlog. Build in positive surprise in working
capital and a further decline by 10 days of sales; revise TP to Rs400 (from Rs370).

4QFY17 earnings call takeaways
Domestic growth was strong in FY2017, international will take over in FY2018.
The management is optimistic about prospects from international revenues growth in the
coming year. In FY2017, domestic revenue growth stood at 20% yoy while international
growth was lower at 5-10% yoy. However, the increased share of international orders in
the backlog (52% as of end-FY2017) will likely help international revenues grow faster
than domestic business in the coming year. The company has further announced order
inflows of Rs14.5 bn so far in FY2018 and holds L1 position on ~Rs20 bn worth of
contracts (70% international, 30% domestic). The company is witnessing increased
traction in Africa, CIS and South-East Asian countries. Middle East contracts will be
considered prudently if there is reasonable certainty on cash flows.
T&D business steady, focus on railways and substations. KPTL’s T&D business was up
12% yoy in FY2017 while other segments grew much faster as per the management. The
company received order inflows of ~Rs5.8 bn from railways in FY2017 and clocked
revenues of ~Rs3.3 bn. The management targets (and expects) revenues from railways to
double to ~Rs6.5 bn in FY2018. Further, the company has also garnered a substation
order book in excess of Rs7 bn. After venturing in the substations space four years ago,
the company has come a long way with experience in 220kV, 400 kV and GIS
substations. Several projects are tendered as a bundle of transmission line and substation
packages where the company can internally cover the whole project scope.
Working capital and interest cost improvements to continue. Receivables for the
company marginally increased to 207 days of sales as of end-FY2017 but the company
targets to bring it back to ~190 days by end FY2018. As working capital improvements
materialize, the company may further deleverage. The management cited that the
standalone debt has stayed in the range of Rs5-6 bn in FY2017 (same range as FY2016)
despite a double-digit revenue growth. The company targets to bring down interest cost
to 1.75% of revenues by end-FY2018 (vs 2% in FY2017).

JMC targets metro projects, OI of Rs40-45 bn in FY2018. The management confirmed
that JMC has submitted bids for two lines of Mumbai metro along with undisclosed
partners. JMC Projects targets order inflows of Rs40-45 bn in FY2018. Overall on the
infrastructure side of the business, the company is looking at metros, roads, flyovers and
water projects for more opportunities.
JMC roads still not cash breakeven. The company saw cash collections of Rs4.8mn/day
as its share for BOT road projects in FY2017, still below the breakeven of Rs5.5 mn/day at
EBITDA level and Rs7 mn/day at PBT level. The company got certain refunds from some
government departments in FY2017 that helped keep borrowings in check.
Update on Shree Shubham Logistics. The logistics business faced one of the worst
years in FY2017 with lowest utilization levels and reduced tariffs, partly led by certain
government actions. The company expects 30-40% revenue growth on this low base in
FY2018 and hopes to achieve positive EBITDA. Breakeven at the PBT level is, however, still
some time away as per the management.
Guidance for FY2018.
KPTL (standalone). The management expects order inflow of Rs75-80 bn in FY2018
and Rs80-90 bn in FY2019 (vs Rs62 bn in FY2017). The company expects to clock a
revenues growth of 15-20% with a steady 10.5-11% EBITDA margin.
JMC Projects. JMC Projects expects order inflow of Rs45-50 bn in FY2018 and
FY2019. JMC also expects to achieve revenue growth of 15-20% with 9%+ EBITDA
margin for the next two years.
Shree Shubham Logistics. As mentioned previously, the management expects 30-
40% yoy revenue growth in FY2018 on the low base of FY2017. EBITDA breakeven
will be achieved in FY2018 while PBT breakeven is still some time away. SSL has not
benefited from decline in interest rates as the banks are unwilling to reduce rates for
the company given its performance and credit ratings.
Further equity infusions to be limited. The company would need to make equity
contribution of Rs1-1.5 bn in T&D BOT projects (Rs3 bn in coming 3 years), infuse funds
of Rs300-400 mn for JMC BOT projects and Rs500-700 mn for Shree Shubham Logistics
in FY2018. However, beyond these, the management expects internal accruals to be
sufficient to fund incremental business.
Other takeaways.
While the company keeps exploring strategic partners and other monetization options
for BOT projects, it is not considering InvIT at the moment. The current focus of the
management is on improving operating metrics of the BOT projects.
Thane and Indore realty projects are progressing well for the company and it may look
to exit part of the project in Thane.
60% of order book of KPTL has price escalation clauses that may protect the company
from commodity price variations.

4QFY17 results were operationally weaker than estimates
Bajaj Auto reported 4QFY17 EBITDA of `9.1 bn (down 21% yoy), which was 4% below our
estimates due to sequential decline in gross margin (-100 bps qoq) and increase in other
expenses. Revenues declined by 8.7% yoy (3% above estimate) led by 9.7% yoy decline in
volumes while net realizations increased by 1.3% yoy due to 9% yoy increase in domestic
average selling prices. Export volumes declined by 3% yoy while export ASPs slipped by 9.6%
yoy as the company reduced prices in African market. Volume decline for the company in
4QFY17 was driven by (1) decline in export volumes (down 3% yoy) and (2) 30% yoy decline in
domestic three-wheeler volumes largely due to industry slowdown post demonetization.
Reported EBITDA margin came in at 18.5% (down 300 bps yoy and 210 bps qoq), which was
140 bps below our estimates. The company indicated that raw material costs impacted gross
margin this quarter and other expenses increased sequentially led by – (1) `160 mn
compensation to dealers to support incentives due to shift from BS-III to BS-IV technology and
(2) `730 mn CSR spend in 4QFY17 versus `200 mn spend in 9MFY17.
Maintains market share in motorcycles in India; export volumes to recover modestly in FY2018
Bajaj has improved its market share in domestic motorcycle market by 120 bps in FY2017 led by
new V motorcycles and market share gain in the economy segment. The company has managed
to increase its market share in the economy and executive segments. We expect the market
share to remain static at ~18% in the domestic motorcycle segment in FY2018. We expect
export volumes to recover in FY2018 for Bajaj Auto and forecast a modest 10% yoy growth in
the export two-wheeler segment and 5% yoy growth in three-wheeler exports (post a likely
sharp decline of 32% yoy in FY2017).
Downgrade the stock to REDUCE (from ADD earlier)
Our TP is based on 16X March 2019E core EPS (earlier 17X) + ₹160/share for the company’s
stake in KTM + ₹650/share value of cash and cash equivalents. We have rolled over to March
2019E from December 2018E for target price computation. We have cut our earnings estimates
by 12% led by 5% cut in volumes mainly in domestic two-wheeler and three-wheeler
segments. We also expect EBITDA margin to decline in FY2018 led by rise in commodity costs.
Bajaj Auto (BJAUT) Automobiles
Margins surprised negatively. Bajaj Auto reported EBITDA of `9.1 bn (-21% yoy) in
4QFY17, which was 4% below our estimates. Key negative surprise came from sequential
decline in gross margins due to increase in commodity costs and higher other expenses.
We expect the company to maintain its market share in the domestic motorcycle segment
but expect scooter to outpace motorcycle segment growth. We expect a modest recovery
in export volumes in FY2018. Downgrade to REDUCE (from ADD earlier) with a revised
target price of `2,800 (from `3,050 earlier) led by sharp cut in volumes.

Conference call takeaways
The company mentioned that retail growth in domestic motorcycle industry is around 5-
7% yoy currently but it refrained from giving any annual growth guidance for the
industry. As per the management, profitability of domestic motorcycle industry will likely
decline in FY2018E (by around 100 bps) due to cost pressures and potential increase in
customer acquisition costs due to slower industry growth and increase in competitive
intensity.
In the domestic three-wheeler segment, demand environment still remains weak and has
not recovered post demonetization. Delhi and Maharashtra have issued 40,000 new
permits which if materializes could support overall volumes in FY2018E.
The company is cautiously optimistic on growth in export volumes in FY2018E. Demand is
still weaker in markets such as Nigeria and Sri Lanka while outlook is positive in markets
such as Nepal, Latin America, Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia, etc. Even Egypt market
is doing well currently but the overall macro-economic scenario still remains uncertain
which can impact volumes negatively in future. Monthly two-wheeler exports to Nigeria is
around 20,000 units currently from peak of 40,000-45,000 units/month
The company has started exports of Dominar 400cc while monthly domestic volumes are
currently in the range of 2,000-3,000 units. The company expects monthly volumes of
7,000 units for the model (including exports) from July 2017 onwards.
Commodity costs will likely increase further in 1QFY18 (by around 100 bps) which will
put further pressure on profitability. In January 2017, the company has taken price
increase of ₹500 in motorcycles and `1,000 in three-wheelers to offset the impact of
change in emission norms from BS-III to BS-IV. The company has not taken in price
increase in 1QFY18 so far.
Export revenues were `78.8 bn in FY2017; down 19% yoy. For 4QFY17, export revenues
were `17.8 bn. USD:INR realization on export revenues was 67 in FY2017 and will likely
remain flat on yoy basis in FY2018E due to hedges taken by the company.
Spare part revenues were ₹27.2 bn in FY2017 (versus ₹25.4 bn in FY2016). The company
mentioned that only 60% of end-market is being addressed by the company currently
while superior/fake products account for 40% of the overall market. The company
continues to expand its distribution reach which should drive 12-15% yoy growth in
spare revenues annually over the next two to three years.
The company will invest capex of around ₹2-3 bn in FY2018 and tax rate will be around
30% (28.3% in FY2017). Tax rate will go up in FY2018 as tax benefits at Pantnagar plant
has expired from April 2017.

Exports—a discomforting tumbledown; heading towards a hat-trick of decline in FY2018
The slump in quarterly exports to levels last seen in FY2014 is discomforting, especially when
the slump is driven by LHP exports, the key growth driver as per management for overall
revenues. While noting the weakness in end markets (declining EM economies, liquidity issues),
we had envisaged single-digit market share of Cummins in the global market to have supported
market-agnostic growth. As LHP/MHP exports continue to decline for the second straight year,
HHP exports have started bottoming out. Cummins expects the recent uptick in commodity
prices as a precursor of improving HHP exports. This coupled with its expectation of LHP
demand recovering is driving its low-teen growth expectations for the export segment over the
medium term. Weak exit quarter financials and management guidance suggest scope of
another year of decline in FY2018E; we build a modest 2% growth for FY2018E and 14%
CAGR over FY2018E-20E.
Margin—tumbledown would be difficult to recover from
The slump of margin into sub-15% range in 4QFY17 was last seen in FY2015. Cummins
attributed the sharp decline in gross margin (35%, down 340 bps yoy) to an adverse product
mix and keen competition. It clarified nil impact of currency appreciation and increase in share
of traded goods on the margin profile; shared practice of outsourcing only if such exercise is
margin-neutral and return-accretive. While noting scope of some normalization, we note
multiple headwinds in margin breaching the 16% levels: (1) Share of traded goods would
further increase as per management and twin instance of margin should lower the same for
Cummins, (2) stiffening commodity prices (7% ahead of FY2017 prices) and (3) competition
making inroads in the domestic HHP segment.
Domestic—all well for now; industrial to continue outperforming other segments
Another strong quarter for domestic revenues (up 18% yoy) and second year of growth (up
13% yoy) was driven by industrial segment and has driven FY2017 power generation revenues
in range of FY2013 peak. Cummins expects industrial segment to continue outperforming
power generation segment. On the latter, it defended risks to business from surplus power
(prudent to have back-up power) and on decline in solar power/battery prices (ability to adapt).
For FY2018, Cummins has revised down its guidance for revenue growth to 5-10% (from 10%)
on decline in compressor business; we build a 12% CAGR over FY2017-20E.
Cummins India (KKC) Industrials
Attractiveness lessens. Recently volatility in financials of Cummins, higher dependence
on sourcing from external entities and keen competition/rising commodity prices
lessened attractiveness for a product portfolio with mixed growth prospects beyond the
industrial business. This coupled with a weak exit quarter and muted FY2018 guidance
increases risks to our 25X exit multiple and reduced estimates (lower by 8-10%). We
revise our March 2019E TP to ₹840 (from ₹915) and rating to SELL (from REDUCE).

4QFY17 results: Domestic growth the only silver lining
Cummins reported a weak end to the year, with modest 12% revenue growth (domestic up
18%, exports down 7%) and sharp yoy decline in gross/EBITDA margin of 350/230 bps. This
led to a PAT of ₹1.55 bn, down 5% yoy and 28% below our estimates. Full-year financials
were also weak with 8%/4%/ (-)3% growth in revenues/EBITDA/PAT. We revise our
estimates for FY2018E-19E to ₹29.4 and ₹33.6, an 8-10% correction.

Exports down to FY2014 quarterly run-rate; domestic steady; commodity prices
hit margins
Revenues up 12% yoy in 4Q, faster than 9M. Cummins India reported 4QFY17
revenues of ₹12 bn, up 12% yoy. While the growth was faster than 9MFY17 growth of
7%, it was 10% below estimates in the quarter. The miss was primarily on the exports
front, which declined 7% yoy on low base to ₹3 bn. Domestic segment revenues grew
18% yoy, reaffirming the positive management commentary in previous quarters (off-grid
power for infra construction, mining), powergen (standby sales and service contracts) and
distribution segments. In FY2017, overall revenues at ₹51 bn grew a modest 8% yoy.
Commodity prices impacted margins. The company reported 4QFY17 EBITDA of ₹1.7
bn, down 4% yoy and EBITDA margin of 14.4%, down 230 bps yoy (200 bps below
estimates). The sharp margin decline was led by increased raw material costs to 65% of
sales, up 340 bps yoy. The management attributed the gross margin decline to adverse
product mix during the quarter. As we correlate it with the Pig Iron index, a key raw
material for Cummins, we find that the average quarterly Pig Iron index was up 18% yoy
in 4QFY17 impacting the margins. Such sharp increase would reflect in the RM cost index
over the next few quarters. The RM cost increase also negated the benefits in improved
employee and other expenses (both ~50-70 bps better yoy as percentage of sales). In
FY2017, the company reported EBITDA of ₹8 bn at 15.8% margin, down 60 bps yoy.
Below EBITDA items flat yoy, PAT down 5% yoy. Depreciation and other income
were flat yoy while other income was below estimates as we had estimated better rental
income from the India office complex. Interest expense was modestly higher yoy on
account of a short-term debt of ₹2.5 bn taken in 1HFY17. Reported PAT was thus down
5% yoy to ₹1.6 bn. The PAT was ~28% below estimates, a straight flow-down impact
from miss at the topline and miss on margin. On FY2017 basis, reported PAT stood at
₹7.3 bn, down 2.6% yoy.

4QFY17 earnings call takeaways
Margin decline led by adverse mix, no impact from outsourcing. The management
allayed investor concerns regarding margin impact from higher share of traded goods in
the revenues. As a part of its strategic initiative, the company has shut down two
plants/engine lines at its Pirangut facility last year and had outsourced the manufacturing
to sister entities Tata-Cummins JV and Cummins Technologies India (CTIL) outside the CIL
legal entity. While this shift was reflected in the increase in ‘purchase of stock-in-trade’
costs in the quarter and the year, the management clarified that this did not have any
negative impact on the margins. The gross margin decline was largely led by adverse sales
mix. The management mentioned that they expect the outsourcing operation to be
margin-neutral and return-accretive due to economies of scale in the sister entities and
corresponding sourcing benefits to CIL.
Domestic growth continues well in industrial and powergen. The management
retained optimistic outlook on domestic growth in both industrial and powergen
segments. Growth in industrial applications would be led by continued government
spending in infrastructure requiring off-grid power (road construction, mining,
compressors for hydraulic drilling, etc.). Some tapering is seen in compressor applications
in recent months (cyclical downturn as per the management) but other sub-segments
continue to do well.

On the powergen side, the company is witnessing demand from hospitality (hotels for
HHP, small restaurants for LHP), realty (HHP, MHP and LHP) and services (esp. data centers
– HHP). The company highlighted a strong correlation between GDP growth and
powergen business. Despite surplus power availability in the country, it would be
imprudent for hospitals and commercial establishments to avoid installing a backup
generator. Thus the management remains optimistic on the domestic growth of this
segment as India’s GDP continues to grow.
Sharp decline in exports is a cause for worry. The management conceded that the
decline in exports in 4QFY17 is beyond their anticipated impact and remains a cause for
concern. Several key export markets such as Europe, Africa and Middle East are facing
declines in economic activity and cash flow issues leading to reduced investments in
powergen. While HHP exports have bottomed out and may have an upside hereon, LHP
exports may however see a further decline. Among the key markets for LHP exports,
Africa held the biggest share (29%) followed by Middle East and rest of Asia (15% each).
Guidance for FY2018. The management has guided for FY2018 growth guidance of
5-10% in domestic business and flat to 5% decline in exports. The outsourcing strategy
will continue as it stands. The management mentioned that margins are a function of
product mix, any price headwinds and benefits from the cost improvement programs
undertaken by the company.
Competitive intensity unaffected by new entrants in HHP. The management
mentioned that domestic competitive intensity in HHP segment remains fierce as before.
The company does not see any major impact from the entry of other competitors (KOEL’s
entry in HHP and local manufacturing by Perkins) on the competitive intensity. The
management assured that the company will strive to maintain its leadership position in
the Indian market backed by technology, local manufacturing, customer support and
distribution relationships.
Renewables seen as a technological opportunity. In recent quarters, solar power
tariffs have declined sharply in India and energy storage costs are also on a downward
trend. Analysts were apprehensive of its impact on powergen sales for Cummins
especially for applications like data centers that may be able to switch to storage batteries
backed by renewable generation. The management of Cummins however sees it as an
opportunity in the power solutions space and is open to explore new technologies as
market dynamics change.

Strong margin expansion rescued earnings from sharp decline in revenues in 4QFY17
Dhanuka reported revenues at `1.6 bn for 4QFY17, down 9% yoy; the decline was much
higher versus peers, partly on account of high base (revenues grew 14% yoy in 4QFY16), and
led by (1) failure of monsoon in the rabbi season, particularly in the South (~30% of Dhanuka’s
4Q revenues), and (2) low pest pressure. Benefits of lower input cost continued in 4QFY17
(gross margins up 660 bps yoy) and in FY2017 (gross margins up 400 bps yoy), leading to
higher gross margins versus estimates. EBITDA, at `342 mn, was up 14% yoy, in line with
estimates, led by savings in input costs and decline in other operating expenses (down 4% yoy).
Sharp jump in depreciation (+158% yoy) and tax rate (at 26% versus 18% yoy) limited PAT
growth to 1% yoy, in line with estimates. Dhanuka reported steady growth of 11% in PAT in
FY2017, led by 5% yoy growth in revenues, and 260 bps yoy expansion in margins. Receivables
were flat yoy as Dhanuka limited placement due to uneven demand, but inventory went up
53% yoy in FY2017, as the management stocked-up inputs, in view of rising prices.
Management guides for 15% revenue growth, 120-170 bps decline in margins in FY2018E
The management sees industry demand improving to 12% in FY2018E from 6-8% in FY2017,
assuming normal monsoon, and expects Dhanuka to outperform with a 15% revenue growth,
supported by strong scale-up in molecules launched in the past three years. Importantly, it sees
margins declining to 18-18.5% in FY2018E, from 19.7% in FY2017, as it plans higher
investments in marketing initiatives in FY2018E (gross margins are expected to stay in-tact),
given a significant number of new launches (total 17, including 7 exclusive launches) in the past
three years. Inventory levels are likely to normalize post 2017 kharif season.
Valuations: Cut EPS estimates by 12-14%, downgrade to REDUCE (BUY earlier)
Management’s guidance both on revenue growth (at 15% versus estimates of 20%) and
margins (at 18.5% versus estimates of 19.6%) for FY2018E is much lower than our estimates,
leading to a sharp 12-14% cut in our FY2018-19E EPS estimates. Consequently, valuations
appear stretched, fully accounting for the likely strong earnings growth in FY2017-20E (expect
EPS CAGR of 18%). We cut our TP to `800 (`860 earlier) on 24X FY2019E EPS, and downgrade
rating to REDUCE.
Dhanuka Agritech (DAGRI) Others
Downgrade to REDUCE on rich valuations. Dhanuka’s 4QFY17 revenues were down
9% yoy, sharply below estimates, though PAT was in line on account of strong gross
margin expansion (+660 bps yoy). (1) Management’s guidance of 15% revenue growth
and (2) 120-170 bps lower margins to support higher investments in marketing
initiatives in FY2018E forced a 12-14% cut in our FY2018-19E EPS estimates.
Valuations now appear rich; we cut our TP to `800 (`860 earlier) and downgrade rating
to REDUCE (BUY earlier).

Other highlights
The management noted that 2017 has been a mixed year for farmers, with demand
sentiments in the South remaining weak on account of poor monsoon progress, while
cotton farmers in the North and horticulture farmers all over India didn’t see a good year.
Sentiments among sugarcane and cotton farmers in general however, improved
significantly as crop prices improved. The management believes that farmers are now
more inclined to adopt new farm-input technologies, which will give an edge to players
like Dhanuka, who have significantly upgraded their product offerings in the past three
years. Dhanuka has launched 17 new products in the past three years, seven out of which
are 9(3) registrations. It will be launching two under-patent fungicides from Japanese
partners in FY2018E.
Dhanuka registered a volume growth of 8% in FY2017, while realizations contracted by
2%. The management reckons the industry growth to be 6-8% in FY2017, with much
slower growth in the rabbi season. It noted that FY2017 was not a good year for Indian
agro-chemical firms, whereas MNCs (DuPont, Dow and Syngenta) did well. It expects
industry demand to improve to 12% in FY2018E, and expects Dhanuka to record 15%
revenue growth, led by 13% volume growth and 2% improvement in realizations.
The management sees gross margins staying flat in FY2018E, but EBITDA margins
contracting to 18-18.5%, from 19.7% in FY2017, on account of expected increase in
marketing expenses. It feels that it did not invest adequately on field development and
marketing initiatives in the past three years. With a significant number of new product
launches in the past three years, it intends to increase investments in marketing activities
significantly in FY2018E, to capitalize on likely improvement in industry demand.

Input costs have increased sharply in recent months on account of (1) increase in crude oil
price and (2) shut down of capacities in China which have created supply shortage in
multiple generic products. Dhanuka has taken price hikes ranging from 10-40% in
generic molecules, to pass on the impact. The management noted that it stocked-up
most of its inputs required in 2017 kharif season, at lower rates, which will enable it to
earn higher margins in 1QFY18, as its peers have also taken price hikes to pass on the
recent increase in input costs, while Dhanuka is entering the season with low-cost
inventory.
The management sees revenues from its exclusive sugarcane herbicide – Sempra,
doubling in FY2018E as farm economics in sugarcane crop have improved strongly in
FY2017 on account of the sharp recent surge in price of sugar, which will spur
investment in premium products in coming years.
Tax rates under GST have remained unchanged for agro-chemicals (at 18%), however
Dhanuka enjoys 0% VAT in states of Punjab, Haryana and AP, where it will have to take
price hikes to pass on the higher tax incidence post GST rollout.
The Central Insecticide Board has recently issued guidelines to ban formulation imports
from China, for those molecules which are being manufactured in India. As per the
management, India imports 50% of its domestic pesticide requirement, predominantly
from China. The Central Board’s directive can significantly increase price of generic
molecules in India, if they are implemented. However, this will not impact Dhanuka’s
operations significantly, as it imports mainly from Japan given the high share of specialty
molecules in its revenues, all of which are manufactured in Japan.

Change in estimates
We have aligned our FY2018-19E earnings estimates with management guidance for
FY2018E, leading to a sharp 12-14% cut in our EPS estimates for FY2018-19E, as we were
building in higher revenue growth (20%) and margins (19.6%) versus management
guidance of 15% revenue growth and 18.5% margins in FY2018E.
We were expecting industry revenues to grow at 14% in FY2018E and Dhanuka to
outperform strongly as it has launched the highest number of products among peers in the
last three years, and the same were due for a sharp scale-up as demand environment for the
industry improves in FY2018E, backed by a normal monsoon. However, the management
sees both industry demand (12%) and Dhanuka’s revenues (15%) growing slower than our
estimates in FY2018E, leading to a cut in our FY2018-19E revenue estimates by 6%.
Further, we were building-in a 30 bps yoy contraction in margins in FY2018E, mainly on
account of reversal of some of the gains in gross margins in FY2017. However, the
management sees margins contracting by 120-170 bps in FY2018E, as it also plans to spend
more on marketing campaigns. This has led to a sharp cut of 12-14% in our FY2018-19E
EPS estimates.

Strong show from staffing segment; yoy associate count growth of 16%
TeamLease ended FY2017 with 126,463 associate employees implying a yoy growth of 16.2%,
higher than our estimates. NETAP apprentice count at 23,439 as of March 2016 was also ahead
of expectations. While 4QFY17 is a seasonally weak quarter and usually sees a sequential
decline in employee count, TeamLease managed to post a sequential increase led by strong
additions from fintech and telecom companies.
IT staffing – some deferment in 4QFY17
IT staffing segment missed estimates on account of weaker staffing in Jan-Feb 2017 due to
year-end reviews in IT companies and related deferment in new hiring. This was the key reason
for TeamLease missing our 4QFY17 EBITDA estimate by 4%. Management reiterated that
vendor consolidation in the IT staffing space should benefit TeamLease, and the revenue run-
rate in its three staffing companies has recovered March 2017 onwards.
Questions on cash utilization persist
TeamLease management mentioned that the board has decided to not pay any dividend this
year, in order to maintain financial flexibility for future acquisitions. Specifically, TeamLease is
scouting for staffing companies in specialized verticals such as hospitality; it is not looking for
more companies in the IT staffing space.
Stock pricing in fair amount of optimism; downgrade a notch to ADD
We increase our target price to Rs1,245 (from Rs1,200) to factor in the tax benefit from Section
80JJAA for the next two years. This section provides for a tax benefit on 30% of the salary of
additional employees employed during the year, provided the employee has worked for more
than 240 days (this translated to ~16,000 employees for TeamLease), for three years. We
believe GST implementation can boost growth prospects for TeamLease by helping it take away
some market-share from the large unorganized sector. Sharp stock price performance leads to a
downgrade in our rating to ADD.
TeamLease Services (TEAM) Others
4QFY17 – staffing segment remains buoyant. TeamLease reported stable 4Q
performance with 75% yoy increase in EBITDA. Core staffing segment employee count
increased 16% yoy and was better than estimates. We raise our March 2019E target
price to Rs1,245 (from Rs1,200) primarily as we factor in the Section 80JJAA tax benefit
for the next two years. GST implementation may lead to steady growth for the
company’s core staffing business. Sharp run-up in the stock price prompts a downgrade
in rating to ADD.

Earnings call takeaways
TeamLease has benefited from improved hiring in fintech and telecom sectors. Fintech
hiring was boosted by demonetization, while telecom hiring was boosted by R-Jio’s
launch of mobile services. TeamLease provided ~5,000 employees to R-Jio; it does not see
any major decline in these numbers in the near term.
GST implementation is the most significant near-term trigger, and should induce existing
customers to increase their dependence on organized staffing companies such as
TeamLease. Further, it should also lead to additional new clients coming to TeamLease for
their staffing needs. However, the company believes that benefits from GST in the form
of greater market-share would flow through only in the medium term. TeamLease has
upgraded its systems and will be fully GST compliant once it is fully rolled out.
Manufacturing is one of the largest sectors where informal staffing is rampant; GST can
change this as companies would be able to take tax credits on service charge paid on
staffing services availed.
TeamLease is looking out for staffing companies in specialized verticals such as
hospitality. It is choosing to stay away from outcome-driven services such as facility
management, which are working capital intensive.
Section 80JJAA benefit. Management mentioned that TeamLease took the benefit of this
section post its amendment to include companies in the service sector as well. The section
allows companies to take the benefit of a deduction on 30% of the total incremental
expense on new employees added during the year. This deduction can be availed by
eligible companies for three years. The deduction under this section is available subject to
the following conditions:
Net increase in employee count on a yoy basis, at year-end, provided that the added
employees have worked for more than 240 days
The net added employees should be paying PF and eligible for gratuity
The net added employees should be paid by check/bank transfer and should not earn
more than Rs25,000 per month
The net added employees should not be casual/temporary in nature
Per TeamLease, it meets the above criteria for ~16,000 employees, resulting in tax saving
of ~Rs210 mn for FY2017. We note that the actual refund of this would possibly come to
the company by FY2019 only.
Earnings changes
Our EPS estimates have gone up materially on incorporation of Section 80JJAA benefits
for FY2018 and FY2019. We note that the receipt of these benefits from the IT
authorities will not be immediate, and receivables will accordingly increase.

Jewelry business – solid revenue growth prognosis; margins not a focus area in near term
Management reiterated its aspiration of growing the jewelry business revenues 2.5X in five
years (20% CAGR; 80% growth to be achieved through SSSG and balance through store
expansion) aided by five key drivers – (1) higher share in the large wedding segment (Titan
has <2% share) through best-in-class inventory, differentiated designs and better stock
management through hub stores model, (2) higher presence in higher-value diamond
jewelry (targeting 50%+ growth in FY2018; Titan has recently launched Red Carpet collection),
(3) geographical market share expansion through local merchandise and local connect
(Titan has identified 20+ cities where Tanishq share is lower at 2-3%), (4) aggressive store
expansion; Titan plans to enter 19 new towns and open 27 stores in FY2018 and (5) GHS
expansion; targeting 21% revenues from GHS in FY2019 from 14% in FY2017.
Overall, Titan is looking at robust sales growth capitalizing on strong momentum of shift from
unorganized to organized (gaining share predominantly from local jewelers) through better
value proposition and aggressive marketing with a longer-term target of ~10% market share.
Margins isn’t a focus area in near term, albeit likely to expand over medium term.
Watches – year of innovation and calibrated expansion; eyewear – year of investments
Titan’s core focus in watches is to revive revenue growth through sustained focus on smart
watches (recently launched Sonata Act safety watch and Fastrack Reflex activity tracker),
creating excitement back through strong innovation funnel (across brands), stronger growth
from licensed brands (three new brands lined up for FY2018) and renovated and calibrated
channel expansion (new store designs for WOT and FTS; overall plan to open 50 new stores).
In eyewear, management highlighted that while FY2017 was a year of correction, FY2018 is
likely to be a year of investments in terms of store expansion (25 regular format stores, 12 low
cost format stores and 3 factory outlets in FY2018), creating an omni channel play with well-
supported digital strategy, investing in frame manufacturing facility (implementation in 2
phases) and expanding presence in sunglasses market (position Titan glares in premium
market). Profitability is likely to remain muted in eyewear in near term due to investments;
however, over a 3-year period, management expects margin to improve to ~10%+ (currently 3-
5%).
Titan Company (TTAN) Consumer Products
Investor forum takeaways: upbeat revenue growth prognosis. Titan reiterated its
aspiration of growing its core jewelry business revenues 2.5X in five years but was
relatively guarded on margins in near term. Wedding segment, higher-value diamond
jewelry and GHS expansion remain key focus areas to drive jewelry growth. Watches
growth is likely to be driven by strong innovation funnel and calibrated expansion while
eyewear profitability is likely to be muted due to investment phase. Rich valuations fully
price in improved momentum and optimistic outlook. REDUCE stays.

TN digitization can increase subscription revenue by ₹2-6 bn from ₹2.5 bn over FY2017-20E
The grant of provisional DAS license to ARASU cable paves way for digitization in TN, improving
subscription revenue outlook for Sun. The quantum of upside will be determined by share shift
to DTH and improvement in monetization from ARASU. Sun’s subscription revenue from TN can
potentially increase by ₹2-6 bn from ₹2.5 bn over FY2017-20E (scenario analysis on Pages 3-5);
we model 31% CAGR to ₹5.75 bn (base case). We estimate Sun’s subscription revenue from
non-Tamil markets to grow at 14% CAGR, broadly in line with industry. Overall, we estimate
21% CAGR in domestic subscription revenues to ₹17 bn over FY2017-20E. There is upside risk
to our estimates in the event of (1) change in regime in TN and/or (2) strict implementation of
TRAI tariff order—Sun will be a beneficiary given breadth and depth of viewership (Exhibit 1).
Ad growth recovery around the corner
We expect Sun’s ad revenues to grow in line with the industry in FY2018E driven by (1) Gemini
TV’s bounce back to #1 position from #4 in Telugu GECs; weekday PT ratings have trebled over
the past year, (2) steady viewership of Sun TV, and (3) augmentation of ad sales force and
serious efforts to improve ad inventory monetization (details on Page 9), partly offset by (4) weak
viewership of Kannada and Malayalam GECs. Sun’s transition to commissioned model from slot
sale model has met with initial success—its big budget multi-lingual TV series ‘Nandini’ is
garnering good viewership. Encouraged by this success and cognizant of expected rise in
competition (launch of ‘Colors Tamil’ later this year), Sun has plans to launch 3-4 such multilingual
big-budget shows across all four southern markets. We welcome Sun’s decision to step up
investments to enrich content quality; it will help the network gain/defend viewership share.
Improved subscription revenue and earnings outlook and strong cash generation merit re-rating
Sun’s turnaround efforts will show up in financials starting FY2018. We incorporate digitization
in TN and increase our FY2018-19E earnings by 4-5%. We raise target multiple to 25X FY2019E
earnings (20X earlier) in view of (1) better subscription revenue outlook, (2) increased focus on
improving monetization and investing in content and digital. It gives us comfort on sustainable
growth even as Sun is yet to deliver on financials, and (3) optionality—further earnings kicker in
event of change in regime in TN, strict implementation of TRAI tariff order and/or moderation in
promoter remuneration to nominal levels. An appeal against CBI verdict is a key risk to our call.
Sun TV Network (SUNTV) Media
Multiple tailwinds. Sun is on a turnaround path and in a sweet spot given tailwinds
(digitization in Tamil Nadu, TRAI’s tariff order and IPL breakeven). Digitization in TN can
add ₹2-6 bn to subscription revenues in the next three years. We increase EPS by 4-5%
and TP to ₹950 (₹750 earlier) valuing Sun at 25X FY2019E EPS (20X earlier) in view of
(1) better subscription revenue outlook, (2) focused investments in content and sales for
sustainable growth and (3) optionality—further earnings upgrade in the event of
(a) strict enforcement of TRAI tariff order, (b) any change in the regime in TN, and/or
(c) moderation in promoter remuneration. ADD.

Assessing audience engagement (depth) and scale (breadth) of Sun’s GECs and
movie channels
The TRAI’s new tariff order seeks to provide consumers freedom to pick and choose
channels. It mandates broadcasters and distributors to publish a-la-carte prices of channels.
While we expect most consumers to continue to opt for bouquets offered by distributors,
the implementation of TRAI’s tariff order can lead to (1) data-driven content deals between
distributors and broadcasters, (2) price discovery of channels. Broadcasters would be
compelled to price its channel keeping in mind consumer appetite for its content, and (3)
driver channels in each genre may get slightly higher share in the subscription pie at the cost
of weaker channels.
We attempt to analyze strength of key channels in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada markets. A
simple way to analyze it is by comparing viewership data. However, it is not possible to
determine how many households would be willing to pay for the channel and the pricing
power of a channel relative to competition. We use two variables for this purpose—
Coverage and Average time spent helps us better understand breadth and depth of a
channel.
For the below analysis, we define
Coverage as the number of households (HHs) that viewed a particular channel for at
least one hour (aggregate) over two weeks. It indicates the breadth (scale) that a channel
can potentially achieve (we assume that a HH that watches a channel for at least one
hour over two weeks will likely opt for it if he/she has freedom to pick and choose. This
metric is an indicator of scale (subscriber base) that channel can potentially achieve.
Average time spent. It is average time spent per household per day on the channel
(total time spent on a channel divided by the number of HHs that viewed the channel for
at least a minute on that day; reach). It indicates the engagement of that channel in its
viewer base, essentially loyalty/depth/stickiness. In our view higher the depth, higher is
the pricing power of a channel.
Simply put, coverage gives an idea of number of households that would potentially
subscribe and average time spent indicates pricing power relative to other channels.
In Exhibit 1, Coverage is on Y axis and Average time spent is on X axis. We have used BARC
viewership data for first two weeks of Feb 2017 and all India households (HH) as universe.
Size of the bubble is based on headline viewership ratings of the channel in relevant market.
Conclusion—the data in Exhibit 1 suggests Sun channels fare well on both audience
engagement and scale in its markets. The a-la-carte price of its key channels is also
reasonable and can be justified based by engagement data. Thus, we believe that if TRAI’s
tariff order is implemented in true spirit, it can result in meaningful upside in cable
subscription revenues given Sun’s suboptimal subscription monetization. Further, we do not
see any risk to Sun’s DTH ARPU of ₹42/sub/month. We note that we have not built any
meaningful upside from implementation of TRAI’s tariff order as we have doubts if it will be
implemented in true spirit given several practical challenges.

Evaluating subscription revenue opportunity
Tamil Nadu—digitization can increase Sun’s subscription revenues from the state by
₹2-6 bn (20-50% CAGR) under different scenarios
Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s grant of provisional DAS license (digital cable) to
ARASU has paved way for digitization in TN and improved subscription revenue outlook for
Sun. The quantum of upside will be a function (1) shift of market share from cable to DTH,
(2) strategy of ARASU (ARPU from ARASU on revision of content contracts), (3) outcome of
implementation of TRAI tariff order, and (4) pace of digitization.
Given many moving parts and unknowns, accurately forecasting subscription revenue from
the state is a bit difficult. We make certain basic assumptions and carry out scenario analysis
considering three possibilities—
Our following assumptions are consistent across all the three scenarios
(1) Completion of digitization in Tamil Nadu by FY2018 end or 1HFY19. While
ARASU has received provisional license with a timeline of 3 months to carry out
digitization, we expect it to be extended to allow ARASU time required to procure
and seed set-top boxes. We note that ARASU has floated a tender for procurement
of set-top boxes. We do not expect any major road block.
(2) TRAI tariff order. We do not expect any material change in industry’s subscription
dynamics even after implementation of TRAI’s tariff order. We expect disparity
between cable and DTH to continue at least for some more time and convergence
will take place over the medium term.
With these two assumptions, we now assess subscription revenue potential under the
following three scenarios (Exhibit 1).

Scenario 1 (Base case)—(1) ARASU partially subsidizes set-top box and increases
subscription price such that its discount to DTH reduces to 25% from 45% (i.e. cable
tariffs increase to ₹150-175 from ₹100-120). DTH’s market share increases to 35% from
20% led by improved competitiveness of its offerings, and (2) Sun’s monetization from
cable industry (mainly ARASU) improves significantly on low base but remains suboptimal
when compared with DTH or cable in other states.
Scenario 2 (Bear case)—(1) ARASU distributes set-top boxes for free (or at negligible
cost) and keeps monthly subscription price low (say at 35% discount to DTH versus 45%
at present; ₹125-150 from ₹100-120) making it difficult for DTH to gain market share,
and (2) modest increase in Sun’s collection from ARASU despite low base.
Scenario 3 (Bull case)—(1) ARASU offers modest subsidies on set-top box and increases
monthly subscription price such that its discount to DTH narrows to 15% from 45%
(₹175-200 from ₹100-120). DTH can gain significant market share in this scenario and (2)
ARASU pays Sun at par with other private cable MSOs. It results in significant increase in
Sun’s collection from ARASU.
Note: At present DTH base pack in South is priced at ₹200-235/sub/month. ARASU has
priced analog cable offerings at ₹70/sub/month but our checks suggest that LCOs collect
₹100-120 from subscribers, implying 45-50% discount to DTH making it difficult for DTH to
gain market share. Thus, DTH penetration in TN is about 20% as compared to about 33% at
all-India level. Increase in DTH penetration during digitization will be a function of ARASU’s
pricing for digital cable.

Key assumptions: (1) ARASU partially subsidizes set-top box and
increases subscription price such that its discount to DTH reduces to
25% from 45% (i.e. cable tariffs increase to Rs150-175 from Rs100-
120). DTH’s market share doubles to 35% from 20% as its
competitiveness improves; DTH w ill continue to be 25% expensive
but there w ill be more takers given superior customer serv ice, (2)
Sun's blended ARPU from cable increases 200% over the next 3
years (Sun's subscription collection from ARASU increases to about
Rs1 bn from Rs300 mn). Our base case expects, the gap between
Sun's DTH and cable ARPU in TN to reduce significantly but it w ill
still be more than that in other markets.
Key assumptions: (1) ARASU distributes set-top box for free (or at
negligible cost) and increases subscription price maringally (say Rs125-
150 from Rs100-120) making it difficult for DTH to gain significant
market share, and (2) modest improvement in Sun's collection from
ARASU post digitization; Sun's blended ARPU from cable doubles
over the next 3 years on low base (Sun's subscription collection from
ARASU increases to Rs600 mn from Rs300 mn). Sub-optimal
monetization continues.
Key assumptions: (1) ARASU offers modest subsidies on STBs and
increases monthly subscription price to Rs175-200 from Rs100-120.
DTH gains significant market share as its competitiveness improves
materially (2) ARASU pays Sun at par w ith other private distributors
and the gap between DTH and Cable ARPU narrows.
This scenario implies: (1) cable monetization in the TN market aligns
w ith that in other markets, and (2) Subscription revenue : ad
revenue ratio of Sun in TN would match that of dominant players in
other regional markets

Strategy of ARASU and Sun Group holds the key
Sun’s subscription revenue would be a function of ARASU’s approach and Sun Group’s
strategy. In past, the Tamil Nadu state government has taken measures to keep media and
entertainment affordable to all. For instance, movie ticket prices in TN are capped at `120
for several years now. AIADMK government under its erstwhile Chief Minister revived
ARASU and fixed cable subscription price at `70/sub/month in 2011. Even though LCOs of
ARASU charge a bit more (say `100-120), analog cable tariff in TN is lower than that in
other states. We note that ARASU pays `300 mn annually to Sun at present. It implies about
`2-3.5/sub/month (reported subs of ARASU are 7.1 mn whereas actual subs could be
around 12-13 mn as per our industry interactions).
There is possibility that ARASU continues with low tariffs and provides set-top box for free
(or at negligible costs). The counter argument is that ARASU would be compelled to increase
subscription price as its content cost will align with other private producers post digitization
and upon implementation of TRAI’s new tariff order. It is difficult to predict if ARASU will be
able to full comply with TRAI’s tariff order as it would require ARASU to push meaningful
increase in cable tariffs to make up for higher content costs and taxes (such a step would be
deviation from its policy and there is risk of upsetting public sentiments; unlikely given
volatile political environment). In our view, it is unlikely that ARASU will increase cable tariffs
meaningfully. We also do not expect it to subsidize cable subscription (i.e. pay Sun at par
with other distributors but collect lower amount from its LCOs and subscribers). One-time
subsidy for set-top box is probable but recurring subsidy on subscription price looks unlikely.
We believe ARASU’s pricing and content payment would gradually align with market over
time.
Sun TV Network receives `42/sub/month from DTH subscribers, about `2-3.5/sub/month
from ARASU and `15-20/sub/month from a small set of private cable MSOs in Chennai. Shift
of market share from cable to DTH offers an immediate upside for Sun’s broadcasting
business. We expect Sun Group to devise Sun Direct (Group’s DTH entity) strategy keeping
this in mind. Given, full integration across value chain, Sun Group can afford to be more
aggressive in subsidizing set-top boxes to garner higher market share during digitization in
TN. We gather than Sun Direct is in the process of tying debt capital and ordering set-top
boxes to gear up for digitization. We note that upfront cost of DTH is about `1,500 for a
new connection. We would not be surprised if it is reduced to `750-1,000 by Sun Direct to
gain subscriber market share.

We model 21% CAGR in domestic subscription revenues over FY2017-20E
Our estimates factor in upside in digitization in Tamil Nadu broadly in line with base case
scenario detailed earlier. Our key assumptions are (1) 3.4% CAGR in pay-TV households, (2)
Shift in DTH: Cable market share to 35:65 from 20:80 on completion of digitization, (3) 4%
CAGR in DTH ARPU over the next 3 years, (4) 200% increase in cable ARPU to `12 from `4
led by digitization (our assumptions factor in ARPU of `22-25 from private cable MSOs in
Chennai + ARPU to `9-10 from ARASU in rest of Tamil Nadu). We have also factored in
disparity in paying potential for phase III and phase IV markets).
In our view, Sun’s subscription revenue from non-Tamil market is not materially different
from its viewership share and positioning. Given this, disproportionate increase in its
domestic subscription revenues from AP/Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala is unlikely.
Subscription revenue growth for Sun TV in these markets would be broadly in line with
industry.
Note that, we are not modeling increase in cable ARPU to DTH level post implementation of
TRAI’s tariff order. We expect divergence to continue for foreseeable future. We expect
21% CAGR in domestic subscription revenues.

Turnaround efforts on track; good progress in Telugu market
Sun TV is on turnaround path under the leadership of its new President, R Mahesh and
backed by renewed focus of promoters following acquittal from Aircel-Maxis case.
Content strategy—move towards commissioned model is a step in the right
direction. Sun has taken several initiatives in the past 12-18 months to revive viewership
of non-Tamil GECs. It (1) augmented content teams and appointed new business heads,
and (2) revamped programming on non-Tamil GECs and has largely moved to
commissioned model from slot sale model. This shift reduces dependency on private
producers and allows Sun to have better control on content.
Outcome—Gemini TV’s has regained #1 position from #4 in Telugu market. Its headline
ratings have doubled and weekday primetime ratings have trebled. More importantly, the
entire improvement in ratings is led by sticky and profitable fiction + non-fiction content.
Sun recently launched a daily soap, ‘Nandini’, through commissioned model across all
four southern markets. The cost of production of this program is about 2-3X that of a
regular soap. The company is encouraged by viewership success of ‘Nandini ’ and it plans
to launch 3-4 such high quality fiction soaps /non-fiction shows across four markets. Sun
is cognizant of under-investment in content and intends to step up investments to enrich
content quality (look and feel). The company is also focused on revival of ratings of
Kannada and Malayalam GECs.
Sales transformation—focus on monetization. Sun has made several changes to its
sales organization to improve sales effectiveness. Key steps take so far (1) augmentation
of sales force and expansion of footprint over the past 12-18 months. Sun has added 60-
70 sales personnel over the past 12-18 months and about 40% of its sales workforce
comprise of new hires, (2) Sun has recently brought on board Paritosh Joshi, an industry
veteran having strong agency and advertiser relationships and experience of steering
sales/operations of a large organization. Paritosh works closely with Sun leadership as an
advisor (consultant) and is helping Sun improve ad sales monetization and move towards
analytics and data-driven selling.
The efforts to transform sales have not reflected on Sun’s ad sales performance as yet but
we do expect it to yield results in FY2018E. We note that Sun recently bargained hard with
HUL for better ad rates that led to a standoff with HUL for a few days. Such actions indicate
resolve to improve ad inventory monetization.
Digital opportunity—a lot of potential but strategic focus and investments are
needed. Sun does not have its own OTT platform despite having a collection of 9,000+
movies, probably the largest movie library. At present, the company provides its content
to several OTT platforms largely of fixed fee basis. The management is cognizant of its
under-investment in digital and it is working on its digital/OTT strategy.
Other tailwinds—IPL and radio
Sun is in a sweet spot on a few other counts as well: (1) IPL—Renewal of contract would
likely reduce license fee costs by about `500 mn starting FY2019. We expect IPL business to
break even and generate EBITDA of `348 mn in FY2019 as against loss of about `500
mn/year over FY2015-17, (2) Sun’s operates a good radio franchise. The outlook for this
business is steady and improving.

Valuations—improved earnings outlook, strong cash generation and optionality
merit premium multiple
We ascribe PE multiple of 25X FY2019E earnings as against 20X earlier as we capture (1)
improved subscription revenue outlook, (2) initial success of Sun in its transition to
commissioned model from slot sale model. We like the fact that Sun is reducing its
dependency on third party producers for content; the performance thus far is encouraging,
and (3) Sun has also started investing for sustainable growth and is well placed to step up
investments further in view of potential windfall in subscription revenue from TN. The
management plans to launch 3-4 big-budget shows, enriching content quality.
Additionally, we note that Sun’s promoters’ remuneration stood at `1.45 bn (10% of PBT;
maximum permissible limit). We expect 80% increase in PBT over FY2016-20E. There is a
possibility that promoter remuneration may not grow in tandem with PBT growth. Any
moderation in promoter remuneration to nominal levels will offer significant upside
(earnings kicker + re-rating).
We have not built in strict enforcement of TRAI’s tariff order; if implemented in true spirit
TRAI’s tariff order can aid Sun. Lastly, we note that any softening of ARASU’s aggressive
pricing or change in regime can result in materialization of significant upside to subscription
revenue as per our best case scenario.
Sun’s FCF as percentage of net profit was 110% over the past three year (cumulative). Its
cash generation is significantly better than peer Zee and in line with several high cash
generating FMCG companies. On a steady state basis, Sun’s FCF/PAT can continue to be
close to 100%. Sun has also maintained high dividend payout ratio of 50%+. Strong cash
generation and 50%+ dividend payout augur well for the stock. We note that Sun can trade
higher than our 25X target multiple if it is able to demonstrate ability to gain market share
in new markets or make a promising play in digital.
While we do not rule out risk to our estimates in event of any execution slippages, Sun’s
efforts and strategy gives us comfort that the organization is heading in the right direction.

GST impact—modest upside of up 200 bps on margin versus expectations of at least 300 bps
GST rates for multiplexes are: (1) 28% on ticket sales (versus entertainment tax of about 30%).
In the near term, effective GST on ticket sales could be 2-3% lower (say 25%) as exemptions on
existing screens would continue, and (2) GST on F&B sales would vary from 12% to 40% across
products (40% on aerated beverages, which account for 25% of F&B sales). Blended GST rate
for PVR could be around 21% (versus 11% VAT at present). (3) GST would allow input tax
credits, likely reducing PVR’s tax outgo by about Rs1.1 bn in FY2019. Net impact—we believe
GST can aid PVR’s EBITDA margin by about 200 bps and result in 10% EBITDA upgrade if we
assume PVR to fully absorb higher taxes on F&B sales. The upside is lower than our earlier base
case expectation of 300-350 bps. We note that PVR plans to renegotiate its B2B contracts and
seek cost reduction wherever its vendors have gained from input tax credits.
Clarity is awaited on a few unknowns
While GST rates are out, the exhibition industry awaits clarity on the following—(1) e-tax
exemptions. About 16% of PVR’s screens are currently under e-tax exemption. The finance
minister’s comments suggest that exemptions would continue (wherever applicable) as per
grandfathering principle. Given this, we expect exemption to continue for existing screen as per
current schedule. However, it is not clear whether upcoming screens would be eligible for
exemptions; at present few states offer e-tax exemption for few years to new multiplexes,
(2) local body (municipalities) has power to tax multiplexes and it does not come under the
ambit of GST. Technically, local body can impose tax over and above GST particularly in states
such as Delhi and Mumbai where current e-tax of 40-45% is higher than GST rate; this is
industry’s key concern, and (3) regional movies are tax-free in several states and there is price
cap in a few states such as TN. It is not clear whether regional films will be tax-free and/or price
cap will be adjusted for GST rate.
We cut TP to Rs1,400 (from Rs1,450); retain REDUCE
We cut PVR’s target price to Rs1,400 on account of negative surprise (versus expectations) from
GST. We now expect 10-11% upside to our FY2018-20E EBITDA estimates from GST. We have
not built GST in our estimates yet but our TP captures ‘potential’ 200 bps margin expansion; it
implies 12.5X FY2019E ‘potential’ EV/EBITDA (10% higher than our estimates). We like PVR for
its premium location presence and branding and leadership in organic growth, monetization of
footfalls (F&B/ad revenues) and profitability. However, valuations are not appealing.
PVR (PVRL) Media
GST—modest benefit versus high expectations. PVR will incur (1) GST of 28% on
ticket sales (30% tax at present), and (2) blended GST of about 21% on F&B sales
(versus 11% VAT at present). Gains from input tax credits could be ~Rs1.1 bn in
FY2019. Net impact—up to 200 bps margin expansion (10% EBITDA upside) as against
our earlier expectation of at least 300 bps. The negative surprise is from higher taxes on
F&B sales; we cut TP to Rs,1400 (from Rs1,450) to factor the same. Retain REDUCE.

Notes:
(a) Above working is based on FY2019E estimates
At present, PVR pays VAT of about 11% on F&B sales. Under GST,
tax rate would vary from 12-40% across F&B products. For instance,
GST on aerated beverages (25% of PVR's F&B sales) would be 40%.
PVR management expects blended GST on F&B sales to be about
21%.
PVR pays serv ice tax on rent and other operating costs such as
common area maintenance, house keeping and security serv ices but it
can not claim set off against VAT/e-tax. Under GST, it w ill be able to
claim set off for GST paid on input cost against GST on ticket sales
and F&B, resulting in tax sav ings. We assume tax sav ings of Rs1.1 bn.
Further, we note that PVR may also get some cost benefit on
renegotiation w ith vendors who would benefit from GST
(essentially , vendors who would gain from input tax credits may pass
of some benefit to PVR).
GST rate of 28/21% on ticket/F&B sales can lead to about 200 bps
expansion in EBITDA margin, about 10% upgrade in EBITDA estimate
and about 21%+ upgrade in earnings. Here, we have assumed that
PVR w ill absorb entire increase in tax on F&B sales. The company
normally takes price increase every year. It would be difficult to pass
on tax increase as well as price increase.
Without
GST
GST rate at 28%/21%
on ticket/F&B sales
GST rate is fixed at 28% and entertainment tax w ill be subsumed
under GST. At present PVR incurs e-tax of about 30% (blended
across states) on net ticket sales (9MFY17). We note that effective
GST on ticket sales in the near term could be 2-3% lower (say 25-
26%) as screens under exemptions would most likely continue to be
tax-free as per original exemption schedule.

GST implementation to be largely neutral with 2-3% price increase in the small car segment
Exhibits 1-6 show our estimates of changes in overall tax structure across different automotive
segments after GST implementation. The government has notified GST rates for the automobile
sector with tax rates ranging between 12 and 43% including cess. For small cars, the effective
tax rate is between 29 and 31%, for two-wheelers and commercial vehicles 28%, for tractors
12% and for large sedans/SUVs 43%.
Prices of small petrol and diesel cars/SUVs and large sedans will increase by 1.5 to 2.8%
while the impact on two-wheelers, large SUVs, commercial vehicles and three-wheelers will
be neutral. Prices of tractors could come down by 1%. However, the mid-size car segment
will be impacted the most as prices are likely to increase by 6%. We have made calculations
based on the average VAT rate of 13.5% in the existing taxation structure and have not
considered other local taxes including octroi in our calculations.
Companies indicate that the impact on small car models will be limited and price increases
will be very small (1 to 2%). Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Ciaz which come under mid-size car
segment will face the maximum impact. The company also sold diesel hybrids under these
brands where prices will have to be increased by 15% to offset the increase in tax rate; we
reckon diesel hybrid volumes accounted for 50% of the total. Ertiga and Ciaz form 8% of
total volumes of Maruti Suzuki. We expect demand for these models to get impacted,
leading to a shift towards compact SUVs and premium hatchbacks.
We see limited impact on overall demand in the automobile sector except mid-size car segment
The government has tried to keep GST rates largely neutral for the automobile sector with likely
price increase between 1.5 and 3%. Till now, Maruti Suzuki benefitted in the mid-size car/MPV
segment due to the duty differential versus the competition. This segment will be the most
impacted as GST rate for mid-size and large sedans/SUVs is unchanged that could lead to price
increases in the mid-size sedan segment impacting demand.
Automobiles India
GST rates to be neutral for the sector. We believe GST rates for the automobile
sector will lead to increase in prices of cars while remaining neutral for tractors, two-
wheelers and commercial vehicles. We expect passenger vehicle companies to pass on
the increase in prices to consumers as the impact is small. The maximum impacted
segment is the mid-size car segment (Vehicle length of more than four meters and
engine size below1,500cc). Maruti Suzuki’s Ertiga and Ciaz will be impacted the most.
The government has also increased tax on hybrid vehicles from 27 to 28% currently to
43% which will impact demand of Ciaz diesel, Ertiga diesel and Scorpio diesel hybrids.

Private sector strong—it’s not just the base effect
Private sector reported 86% growth in individual APE as the momentum in the business
continued and base (April 2016) was very low. Trend over the past 10 years suggests that
private sector volumes are typically down about 80% between March and April. In April 2017,
volumes were down 71% mom; thus, it’s not just a low base but that fact that the momentum
genuinely continued in April as well.
A strong month, triple-digit growth for few
The trend between players was divergent.
Some of the players delivered triple-digit growth—Bajaj Allianz (345%), ICICI Prudential Life
(145%) and India First (150%) despite high growth in the past. Value of policies seems to be
a big contributor to this—average ticket size in individual non-single business was up 62%
for ICICI Prudential Life, 82% for India First and 37% for Bajaj Allianz.
HDFC Life (6%; ticket size down 3%) and Met Life (12%) were, however, subdued. We read
this as low focus of these players on April targets and not necessarily any sign of weakness;
we expect growth to catch up and possibly gain market share by June.
Birla SL continued its ongoing momentum with 25% growth, a bit lower than about 35% in
FY2017. We expect growth rate for Birla SL to improve over the next few months as the
company recently tied up for an bancassurance agreement of HDFC Bank; the complete
details of the partnership are not available.
Reliance Life reported 46% growth as compared to 23% decline in FY2017; the company is
making a migration to traditional policies from ULIPs, which had led to a decline last year.
Average ticket size in individual non-single segment was up 33% despite a likely shift;
management highlighted they are working in increasing ticket size within the traditional
segment.
Growth for LIC was moderate at 17% on the back of 4% decline in average ticket size in
individual non-single business.
Steady inflows to equity mutual funds
Inflows to equity mutual funds remain strong at ₹94 bn, higher than past three months’ (₹49-
82 bn) indicating that underlying fund flow to capital market continues.
Insurance India
A solid beginning. It was a strong start to the year with 86% growth in individual APE
led by triple-digit growth for select large players. A low base and higher activity levels
over the past few months were key drivers even as capital market flows remain strong.
Evolving product portfolio strategy (players such as Bajaj Life focusing on ULIP in pursuit
of growth and some like Reliance on traditional products to improve margins) and
changing distribution dynamics (Birla SL tied up with HDFC Bank as a second partner
after HDFC Life) will determine medium-term business momentum.

Private sector up in group business; single business remains strong for LIC
LIC continues to have high share of single premium (80% in April 2017, up from 72% in
FY2017) in its overall business. This has been consistently growing over the years.
Private players have generally been selective in this segment; the share of single premium of
private players was 33% in April 2017. The ratio declined for most large players except ICICI
Prudential Life.
In the group business, the share of private players increased to 25% from 19% in the past
two financial years. Bajaj Allianz Life and HDFC Life gained market share.
