Royal Enfield business—on cruise control

The Royal Enfield business is in a sweet spot with waiting periods of 4-6 months across its product range. We believe volume trajectory will remain strong driven by—(1) expansion of distribution network (it is present only in the top-60 cities), (2) scale-up of the export business with the launch of Continental GT and (3) uptrading of customers to the premium motorcycle segment. We expect Royal Enfield volumes to grow at 29% CAGR over CY2013-15, driven by rising demand for leisure motorcycles, attractive price points, muted competition and an expanded distribution network.

Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle business—muddling through tough times

Eicher and Volvo have formed a joint venture (54:46), Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle (VECV), which will manufacture commercial vehicles for the Indian market and become a hub for manufacturing Euro 3-6 engines for Volvo’s global operations.

VECV’s business growth will be driven by outsourcing of engines to Volvo and improvement in market share in the truck segment. We expect VECV to post revenue CAGR of 27% over CY2013-15, driven by the addition of engine sourcing revenue to Volvo and recovery in truck volumes through market-share gains. Engine sourcing to Volvo will likely contribute 10-11% of VECV’s revenue, by CY2014-15, but a significant part of incremental revenue growth.

Valuations attractive on strong earnings growth potential; we initiate coverage with an ADD

We expect Eicher Motors’ consolidated earnings to increase by 2.3X over CY2013-15, driven by strong growth in the Royal Enfield business, addition of engine outsourcing revenues in the VECV business and recovery of the commercial-vehicle cycle in CY2015. The stock trades at ~7.7X CY2015E EV/EBITDA and 15.1X CY2015E EPS, which we believe is cheap, given the company’s strong growth prospects.

We initiate coverage on the stock with an ADD rating with target price of `5,500, based on the sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology. We value the Royal Enfield business at 20X March 2015E EPS and the VECV business at 17X March 2015E EPS.

Eicher Motors (EIM)

Automobiles

Full throttle. Eicher Motors, India’s third largest truck and bus manufacturer, also manufactures two wheelers under the Royal Enfield brand. We believe the company is in a high-growth phase, driven by the popularity of Royal Enfield motorcycles and the addition of a new business (engine sourcing by Volvo) in the commercial vehicle space, which will help it to tide over the downturn. We initiate coverage of the stock with an ADD rating and sum-of-the-parts based target price of `5,500.

VALUATIONS—ATTRACTIVE DUE TO STRONG GROWTH PROSPECTS We initiate coverage on Eicher Motors with an ADD rating. We like the medium-term story with a ramp-up in

Royal Enfield volumes and market-share gains in the truck business. Sourcing of engines by Volvo for its

global operations is also likely to open new growth opportunities for the company. We value the company

through the sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology. We value the Royal Enfield business at

20X March 2015E EPS and the VECV business at 17X March 2015E EPS. Our one-year target price is `5,500.

Eicher Motors has two business verticals—the Royal Enfield (RE) business (two wheelers) and the Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicle (VECV) business. We have valued the businesses separately as they have different growth profiles and return ratios. The RE business is an asset-light business with a superior margin profile and the VECV business has better long-term growth prospects but is asset heavy and has lower return ratios.

We value the RE business at 20X March 2015E EPS as we believe the business can post 15% CAGR over the next decade as we expect customers to uptrade to the premium segment with a rise in income levels. RE is also likely to convert 55% of its EBITDA into free cash and incremental capital invested is about 60%. We believe there is no direct comparison to the RE business due to its niche positioning but the Harley Davidson business has a similar customer profile and business model.

We expect RE to trade at a premium to Harley Davidson. RE and Harley Davidson operate in the leisure motorcycle segment with Harley Davidson focused mainly on developed markets and RE focused on India. Key reasons for our higher valuation for the RE business than the Harley Davidson business are as follows.

Both businesses have asset-light models but the RE business has superior asset turns (4-5X) compared with Harley Davidson (~2X) and RE’s operating margin profile is also superior as RE builds up scale. RE’s incremental RoIC is about 60% and Harley Davidson’s is ~20%.

RE’s growth prospects are much better than Harley Davidson’s as RE has a strong brand presence in an under-penetrated Indian market and Harley Davidson operates in developed markets (90% of its sales are in North America and Europe) where growth prospects are subdued. Emerging market consumers in India and Indonesia, the main markets that will drive growth in the premium motorcycle segment, prefer vehicles in the 250-650 cc range, which are affordable and more suited to the build of Indian and Indonesian men/women. Harley Davidson does not have a product below 800 cc and will need to invest in a product line in the 350-500 cc range to challenge RE.

RE’s customer profile is changing from a leisure user to a commuter. The management indicated that half its customers in India use the motorcycle for regular commutes and not for leisure. We believe this will help the company to improve volume growth as it can tap the commuter segment, as well.

In India, competition is muted in the premium motorcycle space, in which RE operates (350-500 cc) and given that RE’s price-value proposition is quite attractive, we do not see an immediate threat to the RE brand.

We value the VECV business at 17X March 2015E EPS as we expect VECV to post 15% CAGR over the next decade, higher than our industry forecast of commercial vehicle CAGR of 12%, driven by market-share gains. VECV will benefit from superior Volvo technology, which will be used in heavier tonnage trucks, which will result in class-leading fuel efficiency and low maintenance. The VECV business will also convert 30% of its EBITDA into free cash after capex expansion and generate a healthy 17-20% return on capital employed over a commercial cycle.

Eicher Motors Automobiles

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 5

We expect VECV to trade at a significant premium to Ashok Leyland, a comparable player in the commercial-vehicle segment. The reasons for ascribing a higher multiple to VECV are as follows.

The VECV business is likely to grow faster than Ashok Leyland’s in the commercial-vehicle business as it enters new product segments. It has a limited number of products in the market compared with Ashok Leyland.

Volvo is likely to use VECV as a sourcing base for engines for global sales (Euro 3 to 6 compliant engines) which will be far superior to Ashok Leyland’s engines. Eicher-Volvo will also use these engines for trucks to be sold in India. We believe this could lead to improved market share for Eicher in India as Volvo trucks are likely to be more fuel efficient and need lower maintenance than its peers’.

Ashok Leyland has invested heavily in joint ventures, which has led to a significant increase in debt whereas VECV does not have net debt on its balance sheet, making it less vulnerable to cyclical downturns.

What does the current price imply?

We did a Reverse DCF exercise to determine what the current price implies for the RE and VECV businesses. We discuss the key findings of the Reverse DCF exercise.

Assumptions behind the Royal Enfield Reverse DCF value of `3,500

We forecast domestic two-wheeler penetration over CY2013-26. We expect penetration to saturate at 80% ownership (on a single-ownership basis per household) by CY2026. We expect domestic two-wheeler volume CAGR of 7% over CY2013-26 and domestic motorcycle volume CAGR of 6%.

China’s two-wheeler penetration is far higher than India’s at 17% per person versus 9% in India. China’s two-wheeler annual volumes are 24 mn against 14 mn units in India. Additionally, China sells 20 mn electric bikes every year. We believe China’s two-wheeler penetration is far from the peak as Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia and Thailand have penetration per person of 23-25%. The average price of a motorcycle in China is US$400 versus US$800 in India, which implies penetration in China is higher due to low prices. China’s per capita income on a PPP basis is 2.4X that of India. India’s per capita income (on a PPP basis) will reach US$8,600 by CY2026E assuming 7% growth in real income. Indian two-wheeler volumes will rise to 34 mn by CY2026E. At similar income levels, China sells 44 mn two wheelers a year, including electric bikes, but the price in China is half that in India.

Reverse DCF value of `3,500 for RE implies (1) volume CAGR of 11% over CY2013-26E and terminal volume growth of 2%, (2) 2.4% annual increase in ASPs during this period and (3) EBIT margin falling from 21% currently to 17% in CY2026. Harley Davidson operates at 15-16% EBIT margins and 90% of its revenue comes from developed markets. We believe RE’s EBIT margins could decline to these levels as competition intensifies.

For RE to achieve volume CAGR of 11% the following assumptions should play out. (1) The share of premium motorcycles should increase from 17% currently to 24% by CY2026 in the domestic motorcycle industry; (2) the share of the 250-500 cc segment should increase from 14% currently to 25% by CY2026 in the premium motorcycle segment and (3) RE’s market share in the 250-500 cc segment should decline from 95% currently to 68% by CY2026.

Assumptions behind the Reverse DCF value of `1,500 for VECV

The Reverse DCF value of `1,500 (for Eicher’s 54.4% stake) implies (1) volume CAGR of 11% over CY2014-30 and terminal growth of 3%, (2) gross annual average selling price increase of 2% over this period and (3) EBIT margins declining from 8% to 6% by CY2030.

Reverse DCF implies annual sales volume growth of 12% in the medium term and 10% in the long term DCF model for Royal Enfield, calendar year-ends, 2014-26E

Prima facie valuations reveal below-threshold returns of about 10% for L&T’s road portfolio

Our prima facie valuation reveals that L&T’s operational toll-road portfolio may have sub-optimal equity IRR of 10% (returns especially low for the four recently commissioned projects in FY2012-13). This is due to sharp traffic disappointments (16% below estimates) partly on one-offs such as law & order issues and toll plaza bypass (though we note long-term disappointments in Vadodara-Bharuch, Panipat elevated corridor; four-year toll collection CAGR of only ~8%). Returns may be even lower for the under-construction portfolio as they were won during a period of stiffer competition (FY2011-12). Some limitations the of analysis include (1) done on weak FY2013 base, (2) no specific input for L&T, (3) no provision for project-specific opportunities and constraints.

May add to debt; Hyderabad Metro sub-optimal; Dhamra deal reasonable; execution an issue

The road portfolio may need cash support over the next few years adding to high debt (ex-finance consolidated debt of `355 bn at the end of FY2013, which can rise to `550 bn by the end of FY2015). Even the Hyderabad Metro (25% of development portfolio) may potentially post sub-optimal returns (12%) with large downside to base traffic, real estate monetization, project cost (equity IRR of 5-7% and a large negative NPV of `50-60 bn in a worst-case scenario). Dhamra port sale (`55 bn EV; 1.7X book; 16-17% equity IRR) seems reasonable given its long-term potential. Construction of three road projects (cost ~`60 bn) is yet to start (September 2013 NHAI data).

We retain estimates; reiterate REDUCE with a target price of `970 after sharp performance

Low returns may affect the value realization from monetization/induction of a strategic partner and take the sheen off the stock as a large share of capital (21% ex-finance) is deployed in the assets.

We believe our value of 1XP/B (FY2015E-end estimates book value) for L&T’s asset portfolio is reasonable. We retain REDUCE (TP: `970) on full valuations (post the recent outperformance) with risks related to margin pressure (commodities, competition) and large consolidated debt in a weak environment. We believe overall valuation levels will stay in check on low returns and low growth.

Prima facie below-threshold returns from IDPL portfolio. Our prima facie analysis of operating road projects of L&T IDPL, shows the blended portfolio IRR of eight operational projects is ~10%. We believe under-construction projects can be even worse as competition was higher over FY2011-12 (large premium payments committed to NHAI). In a recent note we highlighted that Hyderabad Metro may post mediocre returns with large risks, related to traffic, cost and real estate absorption. Such returns can (1) affect the value realization from monetization/induction of a strategic partner and (2) take the sheen off the stock, as debt grows, and projects may need support from the parent.

Prima facie valuations reveal sub-optimal returns for much of the road portfolio

Our prima facie valuation of L&T’s toll-based road BOT portfolio reveals that most of the company’s projects are likely to post sub-optimal equity IRRs (especially the four projects commissioned in FY2012-13). L&T has about 18 road BOT projects, out of which 10 are operational and eight are in various stages of construction/development. Out of the operational projects, only Krishnagiri-Thopur (28%), Western Andhra Tollways (20%) and Vadodara-Bharuch Tollways (~20%) projects seem to have reasonable IRRs. The overall operational projects portfolio could potentially have low equity IRR of about 10%. Incremental traffic growth would have to be high at about 8% a year (base-case of 6% traffic growth) for potential returns of over 15% from these projects.

However we highlight that these are preliminary valuation models (based on data available from annual reports and other public sources) and they have not benefitted from the L&T management's perspective.

Key assumptions

The key assumptions underlying our prima facie models include (1) long-term traffic growth rate of about 6% through the life of the project with annual tariff escalation of about 5% (inflation-linked)—this results in an effective annual revenue growth of about 11.3% yoy, (2) base-year toll collection estimate based on per-km collection trends in other contiguous/comparable road projects and (3) cost of debt of 10-11% and equity cost of 13%. We have treated the subordinate/mezzanine debt from the promoter as quasi-equity for the projects.

Out of four recently won contracts only the Beawer project has begun construction, leading to execution disappointment

Apart from the operational portfolio, L&T has about eight road projects that are in various stages of construction (likely to be commissioned over the next 1-2 years). Based on the prima facie valuations of the operational projects, we believe the projects under construction could potentially post even lower returns as these projects were won in a relatively high competition environment (2011-12) with large premium commitments to NHAI. Three road projects (project cost of ~`60 bn) have not yet started construction as of September 2013 NHAI data—Deccan Tollways, Amravati Jalgaon and Jalgaon- Maharashtra Border.

Large miss on toll attributed to stabilization phase; gap can increase

Toll collection for L&T’s roads portfolio was 16% below the company’s expectations in FY2013. The company attributed this largely to the initial stabilization phase with specific mention of teething issues in Gujarat projects such as (1) law and order problems, (2) temporary bypasses to evade toll check points and (3) the presence of a parallel road without a toll. L&T is trying to address these issues and hopes to recover the traffic trajectory. This is on top of a general slowdown in traffic seen across its road projects. Slower growth and commissioning of new projects would possibly increase the gap beyond the current 16%, versus projection over the next two years or so. Start of projects won more recently and in general against more aggressive competition could also increase the gap.

However, we note that traffic pick-up over the past four years, after the initial start, has remained low in assets like Vadodara-Bharuch and Panipat elevated corridor. Annual revenues have grown at a CAGR of 8-8.5% for the two projects; adjusted for a potential inflation-linked tariff escalation of 7-8% during this period, this would imply relatively flat/low traffic growth over FY2010-13.

Projects may require support over the next few years; debt may rise

L&T’s road portfolio may need some equity/cash-flow support over the next few years as low/disappointing traffic levels may lead to losses. This may result in potential debt at the parent level, increasing the high consolidated debt burden. We note this would be apart from the incremental equity requirements of under-construction/development projects in the company’s portfolio.

Hyderabad Metro prima facie valuation implies below-threshold IRR

Our prima facie valuation for L&T’s Hyderabad Metro project reflects that the project could potentially have sub-optimal equity IRR of 12% (with a negative NPV of about –`6.7 bn). This is against a potential equity investment of `46 bn.

May have downside as traffic, real estate monetization estimates may disappoint

Key underlying assumptions include (1) base-year (FY2013) traffic of 1.5 mn passengers a day, (2) traffic growth of 4% over FY2013-21E tapering to 1%, (3) 35% EBITDA margin in the first year of operations, scaling up to a steady state of 60% and (4) 18.5 mn sq. ft of real estate monetization over 10 years (starting 2018E). Exhibit 9 summarizes the assumptions built into our prima facie model of the project.

Our assumptions for the project are based mainly on the feasibility study/traffic forecast included in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the Hyderabad Metro and the established track record by Delhi Metro over the past few years.

We believe our valuation could face some potential downside on the following factors

Favorable base year traffic assumption. Our model builds base-year passenger traffic of about 1.5 mn passengers a day against present traffic levels of 2 mn for Delhi Metro (in FY2013); this is versus a population and metro network size of over 2X in Delhi. Hence our assumption could face some downside risk. We also note very sharp disappointment in the Delhi Metro project in terms of traffic projected versus actual initial ridership (actual ridership was only about a fourth of what was initially estimated).

Real estate monetization of 1.5-2 mn sq. ft a year may not be easy in Hyderabad. Our model builds monetization of the 18.5 mn sq. ft of commercial real estate over 10 years (starting from FY2018)—an average of about 1.85 mn sq. ft a year. This may not be easy to achieve in Hyderabad with current levels of overall annual off-take levels of about 1-1.5 mn sq. ft. However we note that Hyderabad’s rental rates are relatively low (compared with those of Bangalore) and could potentially rise; this would positively impact the valuation, to some extent.

Potential project cost escalations. The estimated capex of `170 bn for the project—about `2.4 bn per km of network, seems relatively low compared to costs of other metro projects (Delhi Metro Phase 3, Jaipur Metro, Mumbai Phase 1, Gurgaon Metro).

No additional real estate capex included. We note that we have not assumed additional capex for the 18.5 mn sq. ft of real estate development involved in the project.

Value highly sensitive to traffic growth and base-traffic assumptions

We note that the valuation of the project is highly sensitive to the base-year traffic and growth assumptions. In case the base-year traffic (in FY2013) is assumed at about 1 mn passengers a day (versus our assumption of 1.5 mn) the project could have a large negative NPV of –`24 bn and low 10.9% equity IRR.

Worst case—can have very large negative value considering the size of the project

Our worst-case scenario estimates potential negative potential NPV of –`62 bn and equity IRR of 7.7%. This assumes (1) base year traffic of 1 mn passengers a day (versus a base case of 1.5 mn), (2) about 10 mn sq. ft of real estate absorption over 12 years (against 18 mn sq. ft assumed in our base model) and (3) about 10% higher project cost of `187 bn (versus our base case assumption of `170 bn).

Dhamra port sale value seems fair for a reasonably attractive asset

News flows suggest the potential sale of the Dhamra port asset (a JV between L&T and Tata Steel) to Adani Ports & SEZ Ltd (APSEZ) for a likely enterprise value of about `55 bn. Against this, the project has been funded through (1) `29 bn of debt, (2) `6.5 bn of equity invested by L&T and Tata Steel (`3.24 bn each) and (3) `9 bn of subordinate debt/quasi-equity invested by L&T and Tata Steel (at the end of FY2013).

This transaction implies a price-to-book value (adjusted for the loan funds) of about 1.7X for L&T’s and Tata Steel’s historical investment in the port (share capital + quasi-equity). While this valuation may appear expensive on an EV/EBITDA basis currently (implies over 6X FY2013 EBITDA), we believe it may be reasonable given the long-term potential for growth and expansion at the port.

Assuming `12.9 bn as positive cash inflow (sales realization of L&T’s stake) in FY2014E and equity investments/subordinate loans given to Dhamra Port over FY2006-13 (adjusting for interest received on subordinate loans), the deal may imply reasonable equity IRR of 16-17%.

Deal finalization closer post recent environment clearance for the second phase

News flows suggested that the Dhamra port asset sale was contingent on the project receiving land allocation and securing environment and coastal zone approvals for its next phase of expansion. In September 2013, the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC) recommended the environment and coastal zone clearances for the second phase of expansion at Dhamra port. Land acquisition itself was contingent on environmental clearance. Hence we believe the company could be a step closer to finalization of the asset sale deal.

Dhamra port profile—27 mn ton bulk cargo port on the east coast of India

Dhamra Port (DPCL) is a 50:50 joint venture between L&T and Tata Steel. The port (phase 1) consists of two operational berths with a cumulative berth length of 700 mts (350 mts each) with a capacity to handle volumes of about 27 mn tons a year. Berth 1 is an import berth for handling coal and limestone cargo while berth 2 is an export berth for handling iron ore cargo. The port has a deep draft of about 18.5 mts and is capable of accepting capsize vessels. The project also has large scope for expansion with a total waterfront availability of over 4.5 kms and 742 acres of land. The master plan for the port involves eventual expansion to 13-15 berths with capacity to handle over 100 mn tons of cargo.

Recent operations—strong scale-up in Dhamra port volumes

We note a strong scale-up in cargo volumes handled at Dhamra port. The port recorded cargo volumes of 3.1 mn tons in 1QFY14, up 34% yoy (the port handled over 11 mn tons in FY2013E, up about 118% yoy, from 5.06 mn tons in FY2012).

Sub-optimal returns could potentially affect monetization

L&T recently announced it was considering a potential IPO and listing of select road projects in Singapore (as part of its plans to monetize its development assets in IDPL). The low potential value/sub-optimal returns of the underlying assets could slow progress on this envisaged transaction. Even if the company lists only a few select assets, the valuation of cherry-picked assets cannot be extended to the entire development portfolio. The transaction size itself may not make a significant difference given the large equity base of IDPL’s portfolio.

Large equity requirement of about `82 bn for L&T’s development portfolio

L&T envisages about `82 bn of incremental investment requirement (`20 bn in FY2014E) for projects including (1) `62 bn of existing commitments and (2) `20 bn of incremental projects (supported by `10 bn from project-specific partners in incremental projects). This is expected to be funded through (1) strategic investment of `20 bn (we believe 15-22% of stake sale may help to raise this amount, implying a valuation range of `90-130 bn), (2) Dhamra stake sale for `9 bn, (3) specific investor in metro, mezzanine equity of `13 bn and (4) `40 bn from portfolio churn, securitization, bonds and further dilution at IDPL level.

Potential for further increase in already high consolidated debt

L&T reported large consolidated debt of `620 bn at the end of FY2013 (against `472 bn at the end of FY2012). Adjusted for the finance subsidiaries L&T had consolidated debt of `355 bn at the end of FY2013, about a third of which resides in its infrastructure development subsidiaries.

We believe the consolidated debt of L&T is likely to rise over the next 2-3 years as the company makes progress on its under-construction/development projects in roads, metro and power. Prima facie, we believe L&T could potentially have consolidated ex-finance debt of about `550 bn by end-FY2015. This debt may become an overhang in an environment of lower-than-expected growth (gap versus expectations would continue to widen) and high capital cost

Our perspective is that about `160 of subsidiary value is contributed from the L&T Finance and Infotech businesses, which continue to report strong results. The other subsidiary businesses (IDPL, power equipment JVs, urban infrastructure entities) are not earnings accretive currently and thus book value-based valuation is more appropriate in this case. These are in effect being valued at about 1X already invested book (present book investment of about `125 bn or about `135 per share as of end-FY2013).

We retain our REDUCE rating on the company due to full valuations (after the recent outperformance—it trades at 15X FY2015E standalone earnings, adjusted for subsidiaries) with risks related to margin pressure (commodities, competition) and large consolidated debt in a weak capex environment.

3QFY14 sales performance: Buoyed by new launch in Bangalore

A big launch in Bangalore, ‘Prestige Lakeside Habitat’, helped Prestige garner sales of 1.55 mn sq. ft for `9.4 bn in 3QFY14. We assume around 63% of the sales achieved to be contributed by the new launch. New large-scale project launches have contributed 70-90% of quarterly sales (or in the immediate quarter thereafter), showing strong push of sales at new projects. Excluding the subsequent phases of the 3QFY14 launch, Prestige plans to launch over 18 mn sq. ft between 1QFY15E and 2QFY16E (we expect no new launch in 4QFY14E) across four cities.

Robust collections indicate strong construction progress

Prestige’s collections have been steadily increasing. Collections have increased from an average of `3.3 bn in FY2012 to `6 bn in FY2014, indicating strong construction progress at its residential projects, relegating the constant debtors to do with particular commercial and super-luxury residential sales only (given a separate business model followed for them). With an estimated collections order book of `55 bn at end-3QFY14 and plans to launch more projects in FY2015, we expect the collections run-rate to increase further in FY2015E to an average of `7 bn/quarter.

Prestige is the largest constructor in India; what next from here?

At end-1HFY14, Prestige had over 56 mn sq. ft of built-up area under construction, which we believe is the highest in India. Prestige has scaled up rapidly in Bangalore (the largest residential market in India by volumes) to take advantage of a buoyant market in the past 3 years. Its sales have increased from an average of 1.6 mn sq. ft/year during FY2006-11 to 5.7 mn sq. ft a year during FY2012-14E, a 3X jump. With a high base in Bangalore now, we would expect more launches from Prestige in other markets like Chennai and Hyderabad to see a consolidated volume jump.

What’s in store for 3QFY14E results?

We assume Prestige’s gross collections margin on its residential projects is around 40%, thus supporting a strong business development case. Prestige utilizes debt to fund its office buildings (annuity income projects) given a positive spread. While we expect debt to increase and remain comfortable about it, the quantum of increase depends on its business development expenditure.

Prestige Estates Projects (PEPL)

Real Estate

3QFY14—big launch helps maintain sales volume. Prestige’s 3QFY14 sales stood at 1.6 mn sq. ft for `9.4 bn. Prestige has achieved 80% of the FY2014 guidance of `43 bn of sales and collections of `23 bn. We expect the collections order book from sales to grow to `55 bn at end-3QFY14E, and expect it to increase to `7 bn/quarter in FY2015E. With a high base in Bangalore, we await management plans to further increase volumes through expansions elsewhere; maintain BUY with a target price of `200.

A strong show in new launches—a regular for Prestige

In 3QFY14, Prestige recorded sales of 1.55 mn sq. ft for `9 bn. As seen in Exhibit 1, Prestige has been able to manage a mix of high-margin low-volume and high-volume low-margin projects as the average realization for the year has increased from `4,300/sq. ft in FY2012 to `5,870/sq. ft in FY2014. We assume around 63% of the sales achieved during the quarter to be from its new launch in Bangalore, ‘Prestige Lakeside Habitat’.

We believe Prestige too has strong brand equity in the market in line with its local and national peers. But unlike most other peers, Prestige’s strength (in addition to being the quick constructor) also lies in the strong pre-sales model it follows during the launch of a project. As seen in Exhibit 2, between 70% and 90% of sales for a quarter (or a subsequent quarter if the project is launched towards the last few days of a quarter) are contributed by new launches or large-scale project launches during that quarter.

With Prestige achieving 82% of its sales target and about 80% of its collection target for FY2014, we don’t expect major new launches from Prestige in 4QFY14E, other than subsequent area release from certain existing projects. Prestige’s focus will now be on sales of its ongoing projects and an increase in sales of certain premium projects from its ongoing portfolio.

Increase in collections reflects the strong construction focus

Prestige collected `5.9 bn in 3QFY14, totaling to `18.2 bn for 9MFY14. Prestige’s collections have been increasing with its sales, given its strong construction progress (as collections in most cases are construction-linked) (see Exhibit 4). Prestige’s average collection has increased from `3.3 bn/quarter in FY2012 to `6 bn/quarter in FY2014. Increase in collections is due to the strong project portfolio of Prestige (a mix of mid-income and premium projects), which Prestige has launched since FY2012. Prestige’s debtors though have remained over `8 bn from FY2011-13, primarily from the commercial projects and select super-luxury projects. Prestige follows a different sales model (sell first and then lease) for certain commercial projects and hence the final installment (20-30% of sales value) is collected post leasing of the commercial premises already sold.

Pricing action – visible in hair oils, biscuits, tea and select food items

(Refer to Exhibit 2 for complete pricing monitor and Exhibit 3 for ongoing promotional offers) –

Detergents. While HUVR had reversed most offers/price-offs in November itself, it has initiated select promotional offers in Surf and has taken a 5% hike in Wheel Active Gold; P&G remains aggressive – distributing free Tide Bar worth `10 on Tide Plus 1kg SKU priced at `95 (increased from `92 – 3% hike on MRP).

Hair oils. Marico has initiated another round of hikes in Parachute CNO (prices up 5-8%) and has also hiked prices of Shanti Badam Amla by 10%; Dabur has hiked prices of Dabur Vatika Enriched CNO by 18-20% (also offering freebies); within the almond category, both Dabur Almond (price raised 10%) and Bajaj Almond Drops are distributing freebies.

Biscuits. Parle remains aggressive sustaining its promotional extra grammage offer across several of its brands equating to a 10-20% price cut; fresh competitive action is visible in the digestives category with both McVities and Britannia cutting prices in select SKUs and offering 50% free grammage in 100g SKU.

Tea/coffee/milk. HUVR continues to run promotional offers/price cuts in Red Label, Red Label Nature Care and Taj Mahal brands; Amul has raised prices of its milk offerings by 4-8%.

Other food items. (1) Agrotech has hiked prices of select Sundrop variants by 3-4%, (2) Nestle has raised prices across its baby food portfolio by 3-4%, (3) while Nestle has increased its ketchup price of Maggi Ketchup by 5%, HUVR is running 13% price-off on Kissan ketchup, (4) Amul has raised butter prices by 6% and (5) Nestle has upped its Everyday milk powder price by 5%.

Raw material trends – agri commodities remain benign even as oils/select inputs witness inflation

Raw material trends over the last quarter indicate a pick-up in inflationary trend in select inputs –

Agri inputs – while domestic tea, wheat and barley prices remained benign, others like Kenyan tea prices, international coffee prices and sugar are down between 10% and 30% yoy. However, milk, milk powder and cocoa prices have witnessed significant inflation yoy.

Oil commodities basket – copra has witnessed maximum inflation inching up 70% yoy and 40% qoq along with other inflationary commodities like palm oil/PFAD (up ~25-35% yoy), LLP (up ~21% yoy), rice bran oil (up 9% yoy) and crude oil (up 13% yoy – adjusted for currency).

Other commodities – while caustic soda and soda ash are down ~8-10% yoy, others like LAB and HDPE (packaging) are up ~15%+. Paint inputs – Tio2 Rutile remains marginally inflationary (up 3% qoq, down 3% yoy); monomers like acrylic acid, vinyl acetate and styrene remain inflationary (up ~10-30% yoy) and resins like PAN and PENTA are up ~5%+ yoy.

Month in review – December 2013: Pricing action picks pace. KIE consumer universe outperformed the broader market by around 2% in Dec 2013 led by Colgate, Nestle, Dabur and TGBL. Weakness in HUVR and ITC sustained. On the business side, we saw increased pricing action as companies look to pass on Rupee depreciation-led RM inflation. Our channel checks continue to suggest decelerating growth momentum. RM trend was mixed but inflationary on an average for most companies.

Categories to be impacted negatively include dairy/milk, chocolates, detergents, soaps, hair oils and paints while categories witnessing benign RM environment include tea, coffee, malted foods, biscuits, toothpaste, safflower oil and cooling oils. In terms of companies, we expect TGBL (benign tea/coffee prices) and Colgate (lower essential oil prices coupled with decline in Sorbitol prices, derived from maize) to benefit while Marico to be the worst-hit (significant inflation in copra prices coupled with higher rice bran oil prices). Refer to Exhibit 4 for detailed RM inflation impact.

Sector outperforms by a modest 2% in December, select mid-caps rally

December was a relatively muted month for Indian consumer stocks – KIE consumer universe outperformed the index marginally by 2% led by mid-cap names like Colgate Palmolive (up 5% mom), TGBL (up 7% mom), Nestle India (up 6%) and Dabur (up 5%). Key underperformers during the month were (1) Jubilant Foodworks (corrected by 8% mom post sharp run-up last month on news-flow of signing up Burger King franchise), (2) Bajaj Corp (down 5% due to concerns over volume slowdown in hair oils), (3) GSK Consumers (down 7%) and Asian Paints (down 3%). Overall, the KIE consumer universe has underperformed the index by 9% and 11% over the past 3 months and 6 months respectively and outperformed by 3% over the past one year. Sector P/E has corrected from a peak of ~32X to a lower-yet-still-rich P/E of 28X (one-year forward).

We remain Cautious on the sector given (1) slowing volume growth across categories, (2) high competitive intensity, (3) Rupee depreciation impact to pressure GMs in 2HFY14 and (4) weakening rural growth outperformance versus urban markets (media reports and our interactions suggest rural is now growing at par with urban). Key tailwinds in near to medium term include (1) uptick in rural growth driven by good monsoons and election spends and (2) initial signs of pricing element coming back. Our preferred picks include ITC in large-caps and Dabur, Jyothy Labs and Titan (on dips) in mid-caps.

CEO speak –

Paul Polman, Unilever CEO, in an investor conference in London indicated that Unilever plans to cut 800 marketing jobs, slash its product variants (number of SKUs) by 30% and focus predominantly on brands with over Euro1 bn in sales – all in a bid to save costs. Media reports suggest some likely SKU/category rationalization in India as well, and

Varun Berry, COO of Britannia Industries, highlighted that in the near term the company is likely to consolidate its position in bakery, focus on expanding distribution (both breadth and depth) and continue to ramp up in-house manufacturing (while 50% of production is outsourced, Britannia plans to bring this down further through capacity ramp-up).

Other news-flow –

Vinita Bali is set to retire as the MD of Britannia Industries in March 2014, nearly two years before her contract expires, and will be succeeded by Varun Berry, the current COO.

Unauthenticated media reports suggests Nestle SA is looking to hike its stake in Nestle India through an open offer (may invest US$1 bn+ to hike its stake from current 62% to 75%).

Bajaj Corp has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Bajaj Corp International (FZE), a limited liability company, to take up trading in skin and hair-care products.

Akzo Nobel India announced various changes in its board – Amit Jain has stepped down from the board as MD from Dec 31, 2013 and Himanshu Agarwal, CFO has been nominated as the operating head of the company till the MD position is filled.

Dunkin Donuts India launched a new positioning, targeting the urban youth consumer captioned ’Get your Mojo back‘ – the move is supported with the launch of a slew of new products. We believe that the company continues to be in the ‘positioning discovery’ phase.

Britannia has opened a new production facility in Jhagadia, Gujarat (at cost of `750 mn); it is the fourth plant that Britannia has opened since 2010 and a fifth one is coming up in Tamil Nadu (likely to commence operations in FY2015E). The company intends to leverage the Jhagadia plant to capture higher market share in the Gujarat market; we note that the company’s market share in Gujarat is materially lower than its national market share.

Zee Entertainment network—market share gains but first quarter of reduced ad volumes

Zee reported strong 3QFY14 in rating terms with about 100 bps gain in network market share, led by (1) strong performance of Zee TV in a traditionally weak quarter (competing channels with high profile content such as KBC and Bigg Boss have delivered weak-average ratings), (2) strong performance of regional channels (notably Zee Marathi) and (3) first full-quarter of operations of &pictures (7% market share). Zee reduced its ad volumes to 14 minutes/hour (12 minutes of commercials + two minutes of promos) for the first time in 3QFY14, from 16-16.5 minutes/hour. However, the impact would be largely negated by (1) strong network market share, (2) new channel launches (16-17% like-to-like decline in ad volumes moderates to 9-10% when we include &pictures) and (3) rate hikes and continuous rate renegotiations with advertisers (discussed in our note Management meeting takeaways—a straight path on December 20, 2013). We expect Zee to manage the transition to TRAI ad cap regulation without much disruption with 15% ad growth (recent 20% ad growth may be difficult).

Sun TV network—market share losses moderate but reduced ad volumes continue to hurt

Sun reported continued pressure on ratings with around 50 bps decline in network market share, led by (1) weak performance of Gemini TV (flagship Telugu channel), (2) modest decline in Udaya TV and Movies (flagship Kannada channels) and (3) rising competitive intensity in South India across markets (Zee, Star, ETV-TV18). However, we highlight that a qoq decline in network market share has moderated over the past three quarters. The company has also highlighted renewed efforts to improve fiction content in the Telugu and Kannada markets. Sun had reduced its ad volumes to 12 minutes/hour from 17-18 minutes/hour in 2QFY14 and the impact of the large decline will continue in 3QFY14. However, we highlight that the impact may be partially negated by (1) sharp rate hikes in Sun TV (flagship Tamil channel) and (2) claw-back of ad volumes shared with content partners (6-7 minutes/hour in 3QFY14 from eight minutes/hour previously). Sun TV rates were under-priced versus leading channels in other markets; the discount is now bridged.

ADD Sun given compliance with ad cap; REDUCE Zee on rich valuations, aggressive estimates

We retain ADD on Sun (fair value: `430) as we believe the worst is over, assuming 50-100 bps market share declines continue. Sun is in compliance with TRAI’s 12 minutes/hour ad cap implying (1) Sun will benefit from industry-led rate hikes (or complete pass-through of 2QFY14 rate hikes) if the court rules in favor of the ad cap or (2) higher ad volumes (with modest decline in ad rates), if the court does not. Strong DAS-led subs growth in Sun has begun given Phase-I DAS in Chennai is still pending. We retain REDUCE on Zee stock (fair value: `250). Robust revenue growth is likely to continue but a film accounting policy (revenue-cost mismatch) implies aggressive earnings and estimates (the Street’s and ours); valuations are at 26X FY2015E earnings at 25% premium to the historical. Correspondingly, valuations at over 40X FY2015E FCF at 100% premium to the sector.

Media India

3QFY14 ratings and ad volumes update. Zee reported market share gains in 3QFY14 led by (1) strength of Zee TV in a traditionally weak quarter, (2) regional channels (Zee Marathi) and (3) first full-quarter of &pictures. Sun reported continued market share decline yoy largely led by Gemini TV (flagship Telugu channel); however, we note qoq losses have moderated over the past three quarters. Ad volumes will be of larger interest in 3QFY14 as large broadcasters have voluntarily started implementing the ad cap. (1) Zee reduced its ad volumes to 14 minutes/hour from 16-16.5 minutes/hour. Rate hikes and new channels will mitigate the impact. (2) Sun’s sharp decline in ad volumes to 12 minutes/hour from 17-18 minutes/hour will continue to hurt. ADD Sun (REDUCE Zee) given compliance with TRAI’s 12 minutes/hour ad cap and thus no negative surprises.

3QFY14E media sector earnings preview

Exhibit 9 presents the 3QFY14E media sector earnings preview.

Zee Entertainment. We model strong 28% yoy revenue growth in 3QFY14, led by (1) strong 18% yoy revenue growth in the entertainment business and (2) large contribution of the India-South Africa cricket series to the sports business. However, series-led sports growth does not translate into profits given the high US Dollar cost of sports rights as well as the Rupee depreciation. We model the sports business’ losses to increase to `500 mn from `86 mn in 3QFY13, a drag on EBITDA and margins. Consolidated EBITDA margins will likely decline to 25% from 28% in 3QFY14, despite 18% revenue growth and 28% yoy EBITDA growth in the core entertainment business. However, we note the contribution of the film accounting policy, supported by an increasing number of big-budget film premiers (highest in 3QFY14, see Exhibits 8-9), in driving operating leverage in the entertainment business.

Sun TV Network. We model moderate 8% yoy revenue growth in 3QFY14, led by flow through of Phase-II DAS subscription revenues and continued strong growth in pan-India DTH subscription revenues. Weak ad growth, led by a sharp decline in the Sun network ad volumes will be a drag on 3QFY14 financials. We model flat 1% yoy growth in EBIT in 3QFY14 as modest revenue growth is entirely negated by continued sharp cost inflation. EBIT margins will decline to 52% in 3QFY14 from 56% in 3QFY13 but improve from 47% in 2QFY14 given 3Q was a festive season quarter.

DB Corp./Jagran Prakashan. Weak performance in C&S TV companies will provide an opportunity for regional print media to shine. We model 13% yoy revenue growth and 18% yoy EBITDA growth in DB Corp. in 3QFY14. Robust revenue growth in DB Corp. will be on a high base of 3QFY13, partially supported by election ad spends (in key Rajasthan and MPCG markets). The demerger of Nai Dunia with Jagran prevents like-to-like financial comparison. We model 19% yoy revenue growth and 15% yoy EBITDA growth in Jagran in 3QFY14; EBITDA growth is comparable on a yoy basis since Nai Dunia has negligible contribution currently. We highlight the robust financials are despite double-digit yoy inflation in newsprint prices, led by Rupee depreciation.

We model robust 10% yoy growth in Dish TV revenues, led by 12% yoy growth in subs revenues, strong 32% yoy growth in bandwidth and advertising income but for 28% yoy decline in rental income (moderating subs adds). We model 12% yoy growth in EBITDA despite 27% yoy increase in content costs; the impact of MediaPro renegotiation will start to moderate in 3QFY14 (base effect as Dish TV started providing for the same in 3QFY13) but for higher sports content costs (Sachin’s farewell series).

The demerger of Nai Dunia brand with standalone Jagran financials prevents like-to-like comparison on a yoy basis

We expect robust 13% yoy EBITDA growth led by margin expansion in the entertainment business; increased sports losses will partly negate the strong performance in the entertainment segment

We expect robust 15% yoy EBITDA growth led by (1) robust like-to-like revenue growth partially negated by (2) newsprint inflation

We expect moderate 8% yoy revenue growth led by DAS-led subscription growth, which is partially offset by weak advertising revenues

We expect modest 2% yoy PBT growth led by (1) moderate revenue growth and (2) continued content inflation

We expect strong 28% yoy revenue growth led by (1) strength in entertainment business and (2) contribution from India-South Africa cricket series

We expect robust 13% yoy EBITDA growth led by (1) robust revenue growth and (2) moderating content inflation (MediaPro deal impact in 3QFY13)

Change (%)

We expect robust 12% yoy revenue growth led by (1) robust advertising growth and (2) counter-cyclical circulation growth

We expect robust 14% yoy EBITDA growth led by robust revenue growth but offset sharp qoq increase in newsprint prices

We expect robust 10% yoy revenue growth led by (1) moderate ARPU growth as well as (2) robust subs growth (festival season impact in 3QFY14)

We expect healthy increase in flat steel and iron ore realizations, modest increase in long products

Domestic prices of flat-steel products increased by 5-8% (`2,000-3,000/ton) sequentially (see Exhibit 5), an alignment with import parity prices, from a discount earlier. Higher steel prices supported domestic iron ore prices as miners hiked prices by 7-15%. However, in the long products segment, domestic prices were volatile in a weak demand scenario. The increase in sponge iron/scrap prices was not fully passed on end users, impacting the spreads of secondary steel makers. On average, we estimate a sequential increase of a mere 1-2% (`500-800/ton) in prices of longs.

Steel demand—weakness persists, imports decline, moderate increase in exports

Domestic steel demand has disappointed so far with April-November 2013 growth being a mere 0.4% yoy in a weak investment cycle. The rise in domestic steel production (+5% yoy) was absorbed mainly through import substitution (imports declined 28% yoy to 3.7 mn tons). Steel exports grew by a moderate 7% yoy to 3.5 mn tons. The increase in export volumes could have been higher (JSW’s aggressive export push with plans for 60% growth to 3 mn tons in FY2014) but for a volume decline at Essar Steel due to production disruptions.

3QFY14 steel results—we expect strong performance in domestic operations, fall in subsidiaries

For steel names, we expect strong performance in Indian operations and we expect international subsidiaries to report a decline. Companies with a high proportion of flats will gain more.

Tata Steel. We estimate consolidated EBITDA of `37.7 bn (+2% qoq, +68% yoy). We expect 29% yoy growth in standalone EBITDA to `32.5 bn, led by a higher realization of `900/ton. Long-product deliveries will decline due to a 60-day partial shutdown. We expect EBITDA from international subsidiaries to decline to `5.1 bn from `7.7 bn in 2QFY14 due to seasonal factors in Europe/political unrest in Thailand. We expect Tata Steel Europe EBITDA of US$20/ton.

JSW Steel. We expect consolidated EBITDA to increase 7.8% qoq to `25.3 bn. We expect blended steel realization to increase by `1,500/ton, driven by (1) JSW Steel’s higher presence in the flats segment (84%) and (2) favorable forex hedge of `65.7/US$ for exports. We expect EBITDA/ton to increase 12% qoq to `8,030/ton. We expect higher iron ore/coking coal costs.

Jindal Steel and Power. We expect EBITDA of `15.3 bn (+3.1% qoq, -15% yoy). Performance will be muted since long-product prices have barely changed sequentially and declined yoy. Higher pellet prices could help.

Strong performance by NMDC; a mixed quarter for non-ferrous names

We expect a strong performance by NMDC on higher volumes /iron ore prices. For non-ferrous names, we expect mixed results mainly due to operational factors. Sequential EBITDA will decline for HZ, remain flat for Sesa Sterlite and increase moderately for Hindalco/Nalco. Novelis will report another weak quarter, mainly due to seasonal factors. We prefer NMDC/Sesa Sterlite.

Metals & Mining India

3QFY14E preview—a good quarter for steel companies. We expect 3QFY14 to be a strong quarter for steel companies, led by a `2,000-3,000/ton increase in flat steel prices. Steel names, particularly those with a high presence in flats, are expected to perform strongly in domestic operations while we expect international operations to report a weak quarter. Among non-ferrous names we expect mixed results, impacted mainly by operational factors. We expect EBITDA to decline for Hindustan Zinc, stay flat for Sesa Sterlite and gains to be marginal for Hindalco. NMDC will gain on strong volumes and realizations. We prefer NMDC/Sesa Sterlite in the sector.

NMDC will gain on strong volumes and higher iron ore prices

We expect a 36% yoy and 27% qoq increase in EBITDA to `18.9 bn, driven by an increase in volumes to 7.3 mn tons (+37% yoy, +12% qoq) and stronger domestic realizations (+4% qoq, +3% yoy). We expect EBITDA to increase by 13% qoq to `2,590/ton. Higher realizations will be driven by (1) price hikes of `100/200 per ton in October/December 2013 for the Chhattisgarh operations and (2) increase in e-auction prices in Karnataka by 10-15% for iron ore fines and 2-3% for iron ore lumps. We expect NMDC’s PAT to grow 23% yoy and 21% qoq to `15.9 bn.

Non-ferrous—a mixed quarter, driven by operational issues/improvements

LME price movement was sequentially flat on a relatively stable USD-INR rate (quarterly average)—prices in Rupee terms changed by (0.8%) -2.4% (see Exhibit 1). While the impact of prices on the results will be limited, more influential factors will be gains/losses in production volumes and changes in power/fuel costs.

Hindustan Zinc. We expect HZ’s EBITDA to decline 5.6% qoq to `17.8 bn (+19% yoy) and PAT to increase 4.4% qoq to `17.1 bn (+6% yoy). The decline will be led by an expected decline in lead/silver volumes by 10%/6% due to mining/grade constraints. Note that HZ has stopped treatment of external lead concentrate due to thin margins. We also expect power and fuel costs to increase due to higher costs of imported coal. A sequential increase in PAT will be driven by higher other income of `4.1 bn after it declined steeply in 2QFY14 due to interest rate volatility. Other income may still be lower than the quarterly run rate of `5 -5.1 bn due to MTM losses in tax-free bonds.

Sesa Sterlite. We expect consolidated EBITDA of `68.8 bn (-1% qoq from pro-forma numbers) and PAT of `15.2 bn (+9% qoq from pro-forma). The performance of the underlying business will be mixed with sequential improvements in power, oil & gas and a decline in zinc and copper. We expect EBITDA to increase in (1) the power business on higher generation and improved realization (`3.5 bn +126% yoy +23% qoq) and (2) Cairn India (`37.6 bn, +6% qoq, +14% yoy). The copper business will report a decline in EBITDA (`2.8 bn,-30% qoq) after an accident impacted production at its subsidiary Copper Mines of Tasmania. We estimate 13% qoq decline in Zinc International EBITDA to `3.4 bn on a decline in production volumes.

Hindalco. In standalone India operations, we expect EBITDA to increase 19% qoq to `6.4 bn (+10% yoy) and PAT to increase 9% qoq to `3.9 bn (-11% yoy). We forecast aluminum EBIT of `2.2 bn (+5% yoy) and copper EBIT of `2.2 bn (+2% yoy). Decline in power and fuel costs/improved realization will drive 19% qoq increase in EBITDA. Other income will decline sequentially as 2QFY14 numbers included dividend income from subsidiary and non-recurring income of `0.6 bn.

We expect Novelis’ EBITDA to be US$180 mn (-2.7% yoy, -21% qoq). We build rolled shipments of 645,000 tons (flat yoy). We estimate adjusted EBITDA/ton of US$263 (-13% qoq, -3% yoy). We expect yoy EBITDA performance to decline in North America (-2% yoy) and Asia (-9% yoy) and to improve in South America (+10% yoy).

We expect only moderate increase in longs realization (16% of product mix). We expect JSW to book Rs1.5 bn of hedging cost related to acceptances. Numbers are not comparable on yoy basis

Change (%)

We model steel deliveries at 755K tons and pellet sales at 600K tons. Pellet realization will likely be higher by Rs400-500/ton on sequential comparison

Long product prices have barely changed on sequential basis and declined on yoy comparison. This will contribute to muted standalone performance

We estimate JPL revenues at Rs6.7 bn (+1% qoq, +21% yoy) and PAT at Rs3.2 bn (+6% qoq, + 24% yoy) on PLF of 93%.We expect power realizations to improve 5% qoq to Rs3.7/unit.

Increase in steel prices will drive drive strong EBITDA growth. We expect blended realizatons to increase by Rs1,500/ton aided by stronger realizations in flats in domestic market and exports booked at higher Fx rate of Rs65.70/.

We estimate NMDC's blended realization to increase 5% qoq in Chhattisgarh after prices hikes in Oct/Dec 2013. Our checks indicate Karnataka e-auction prices for fines increased 12% -15% qoq and for lumps by 3%.

Deliveries in Tata Steel Europe will decline due to seasonal factors. We model 3.35 mn tons (-5%qoq). While cost pressures will increase on lower deliveries, we expect improved efficiences will aid performance. We model EBITDA of US$20/ton

Performance in SE Asia will deteriorate due to political unrest in Thailand. We expect EBITDA from subsidiaries to decline to Rs5.1 bn from Rs7.7 bn in 2QFY14.

We model steel deliveries of 2.08 mn tons (+2% qoq). Longs product volumes will be impacted by a 60 days shutdown at caster. However carry over inventories will cushion steep decline in longs deliveries. Flats volume will rise.

We expect strong EBITDA growth driven by (1) estimated iron ore sales of 7.3 mn tons (+12% qoq, +37% yoy) and (2) improved realizations.

We estimate EBITDA/ton of Rs15,600. We estimate blended realziation to increase by Rs900/ton mainly on increase in flat product prices. Company can report higher repairs and maintenance costs due to shutdowns.

We expect EBITDA on sequential basis will increase in (1) power business on higher generation and improved realization (Rs3.5 bn, +23% qoq) and (2) Cairn India (up 14% yoy to Rs37.6 bn)

Copper business will report a decline in EBITDA (Rs 2.8 bn,-30% qoq) after an accident impacted production in copper mines of Tasmania. We estimate 13% qoq decline in Zinc Internatianal EBITDA to Rs3.4 bn on decline in production volumes.

We expect qoq increase in EBITDA driven by (1) decline in power costs and (2) marginal improvement in alumina realizations.

Despite lower EBITDA, we expect PAT to increase aided by higher other incom; it was lower in 2QFY14 due to MTM losses. However, the we expect other income to be still lower than quarterly run rate of Rs5.5 bn due to losses in tax free bonds.

We expect flat rolled shipments of 645K tons (flat yoy)

With the partial shutdown of smelter pot lines (198 pots), we expect aluminum production at 75K tons (flat qoq). Alumina sales will be high - we model 355,000 tons.

Other income will decline qoq as 2QFY14 numbers included dividend income from subsdiary and non recurring income of Rs0.6 bn.

We forecast aluminum EBIT of Rs2.2 bn (+5% yoy) and copper EBIT of Rs2.2 bn (+2% yoy). Decline in power and fuel costs/improved realization will drive 19% qoq increase in EBITDA.

We estimate adjusted EBITDA/ton at at US$263 (-13% qoq, -3% yoy). We expect yoy EBITDA will decline in North America (-2% yoy) and Asia (-9% yoy) while it will improve in South America (+ 10% yoy).

We expect a sequential decline in EBITDA due to (1) lower lead and silver volumes from lower lead mined-in-concentrate. We estimate volumes of 195K tons of zinc, 26K tons of lead and 85 tons of silver, (2) increase in power cost. Note that HZ uses higher proportion of imported coal,, cost of which has inceased.

Notes: (1) 2QFY14 results for Sesa Sterlite are on a pro forma basis and 3QFY13 results pertain to pre-merger Sesa Goa.
