Inferior product mix impacts profitability in this quarter

Domestic and export average selling prices declined by 1% and 1.6% qoq respectively due to inferior product mix. Adjusted EBITDA (excluding Rs360 mn loss on hedge contract) of Rs9,077 mn in 1QFY13 was 4% below our estimates. Net sales including operating income of Rs48.7 bn (+3% yoy, +5% qoq) were 2% below our estimates due to lower average selling prices. Net profit of Rs7,184 mn (+1% yoy, -7% qoq) was 3% below our estimates.

EBITDA margin at 18.7% declined by 110 bps qoq driven by lower product mix and discontinuation of 1% additional export incentives which was available till March 2012. We believe adjusted EBITDA margins declined by 110 bps qoq driven by (1) 40 bps decline due to discontinuation of 1% additional export benefits till March 2012 and (2) 70 bps impact due to inferior product mix. The company indicated that price increase of 1.5% in May 2012 offset the negative impact due to rise in commodity costs.

Other income also rose sharply which included Rs330 mn gain related to reversal of time value of hedges while the tax rate came in at 29.5% as income tax benefits on Pantnagar plant has been reduced from 100% to 30% from April 2012.

We retain our ADD rating on the stock due to attractive valuations

We believe Bajaj Auto is attractively valued at 12.7X PE on 12-month forward earnings estimates given (1) 12% earnings CAGR over FY2012-14E which is likely to be back-ended and (2) 5% free cash-flow yield. We expect Bajaj Auto’s volumes to recover from 2HFY12E driven by new model launches and recovery in export volumes. We expect EBITDA margins to improve driven by improvement in product mix and benefit of Rupee depreciation in FY2014E as the company has started taking hedges between Rs55 and Rs64/USD. Our target price remains unchanged at Rs1,675 based on 12-month forward earnings estimates.

Bajaj Auto (BJAUT)

Automobiles

Operationally weak quarter. Bajaj Auto reported an operationally weak quarter due to inferior product mix led by lower three-wheeler exports and lower share of premium domestic motorcycles in the product mix. We believe EBITDA margins are likely to inch up gradually with improvement in premium motorcycle sales and recovery in export volumes. We maintain our ADD rating on the stock due to attractive valuation and gradual improvement in volume growth in 2HFY13E.

Operationally weak quarter; recovery likely to be back-ended

Bajaj Auto reported a profit after tax of Rs7,184 mn (+1% yoy, -7% qoq) which was 3% below our estimates. The company reported a loss of Rs360 mn (Rs170 mn related to 1QFY12 and Rs190 mn related to July 2012) related to hit on unrealized hedge contracts which is reflected in other expenses. We believe this is non-recurring in nature as we expect exports to recover in 2HFY13E.

Adjusted EBITDA (excluding Rs360 mn loss on hedge contract) of Rs9,077 mn was 4% below our estimates. Net sales including operating income of Rs48.7 bn (+3% yoy, +5% qoq) was 2% below our estimates due to lower average selling prices.

EBITDA margin at 18.7% declined by 110 bps qoq driven by lower product mix and discontinuation of 1% additional export benefit which was available till March 2012. We believe adjusted EBITDA margins declined by 110 bps qoq driven by (1) 40 bps decline due to discontinuation of 1% additional export benefits till March 2012 and (2) 70 bps impact due to inferior product mix. The company indicated that price increase of 1.5% in May 2012 offset the negative impact due to rise in commodity costs.

Other key highlights of the result

Average selling prices declined by 1.6% qoq driven by 1% decline in domestic selling prices and 1.6% qoq decline in export selling prices. Inferior product mix impacted both domestic and export segments.

Export volumes declined by 3% yoy primarily driven by 41% yoy decline in three-wheeler exports. Export motorcycle volumes increased by 7% yoy. Three-wheeler exports were impacted by increase in import duties in Sri Lanka and political unrest in Egypt.

The company had cut prices of two-wheelers by 5-14% and by 10% in three-wheelers in July 2012 to improve demand in Sri Lanka. This price cut could impact EBITDA margins by 60-70 bps in our view and could be structural given import duties were hiked sharply.

Export volumes were booked at Rs49.8/USD in 1QFY13 versus Rs 48.6/USD in 4QFY12. Hence, impact of poor product mix on export average selling prices was 4% qoq in our view.

The company has started hedging its export exposure for FY2014E between Rs55 and Rs64/USD. We expect a sharp jump in export average selling prices in FY2014E which could boost EBITDA margins.

Domestic motorcycle volumes were flat yoy in 1QFY13 but premium motorcycle segment share in overall volumes declined by 190 bps qoq which impacted domestic average selling prices.

Staff costs increased by 12% yoy due to salary hikes given to employees.

Other expenses also rose by 26% yoy driven by Rs360 mn hit due to unrealized hedge contracts.

Other income also rose sharply which included Rs330 mn gain related to reversal of time value of hedges.

Tax rate came in at 29.5% as income tax benefits on Pantnagar plant has been reduced from 100% to 30% from April 2012.

Automobiles Bajaj Auto

4 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH

We believe Bajaj Auto will face near-term headwinds due to subdued domestic volumes and slow pick-up in export volumes in Sri Lanka. However, we expect a gradual recovery in volumes from 3QFY13 driven by recovery in Pulsar volumes and recovery in Sri Lanka export volumes. We believe EBITDA margins will inch up gradually from current levels from 3QFY13E. We maintain our ADD rating in the stock with a target price of Rs1,675 based on 14X multiple on 12-month forward earnings estimates.

Bajaj Auto results were operationally weaker than our estimates due to lower average selling prices Bajaj Auto interim results, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn)

Inverter and four-wheeler replacement demand surprises positively

Exide’s 1QFY13 EBITDA of Rs2.34 bn (+5% yoy, +10% qoq) was 13% better than our expectations due to sharp improvement in inverter and four-wheeler automotive replacement volumes. Inverter volumes have grown by >20% yoy in 1QFY13 and four-wheeler replacement volumes grew by ~16-19% yoy in 1QFY13. EBITDA margins rose by 40 bps qoq despite improvement in product mix. The management has not provided segmental margin break-up but we believe industrial margins would have improved due to strong growth in inverter volumes, which could be offset by slight deterioration in profitability in the auto segment as the company had taken a price cut in April 2012 in the four-wheeler replacement battery segment.

Industrial segment is driving the recovery in profitability which may not be sustainable

Inverter battery volumes have grown at a strong pace over the past few quarters driven by increase in power deficit in the country and harsh summer in North India. We believe such high growth in inverter battery volumes may moderate in 2HFY12E due to high base effect and slight improvement in the power deficit situation in the country. Competition in this segment is increasing and if volume growth moderates, we believe margins could come under pressure.

We retain our SELL rating on limited levers for margin expansion

We retain our SELL rating on the stock due to expensive valuations and limited pricing power. We expect EBITDA margins to remain range-bound around 15% levels despite strong revenue growth and stable lead price outlook due to competitive pressures. We have increased our target price to Rs115 (from Rs105 earlier) as we have raised our earnings estimates by 5-6% over FY2013-14E due to improvement in product mix led by higher-than-expected inverter volumes. Our target price is based on the sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology.

Exide Industries (EXID)

Automobiles

Impressive quarter but stock valuations factoring in sharper recovery. Exide reported a >20% yoy growth in inverter volumes and ~16-19% yoy growth in automotive four-wheeler replacement battery volumes in 1QFY13, which is impressive in our view. EBITDA margins remained flattish qoq despite improvement in product mix which is a cause for concern due to higher publicity/marketing spends. We retain our SELL rating on the stock on expensive valuations and limited pricing power.

Pick-up in four-wheeler replacement and inverter volumes drives revenue growth

Exide Industries’ 1QFY13 net sales grew by 25% yoy (6% ahead of our estimates). The revenue growth was boosted by (1) ~16-19% yoy growth in four-wheeler replacement battery volumes and (2) 19% yoy growth in industrial battery volumes (primarily inverter and UPS segment). Four-wheeler OEM battery volume was flat yoy while two-wheeler volumes grew by 28% yoy due to a shift towards self-start bikes from kick-start which is aiding market share gains for organized players in the two-wheeler replacement market.

Gross margins improved by 220 bps qoq driven by improvement in product mix (higher share of four-wheeler replacement and inverter volumes) but other expenses to net sales increased by 160 bps qoq driven by increase in publicity expenses and Rs103 mn forex loss related to imported lead procurement. EBITDA margins were flattish qoq despite sharp improvement in product mix, which is our main concern on pricing power.

The company did not report any smelter income in this quarter as they would require cash for expansion plans of smelters. Net profit of Rs1,534 mn (-6% yoy, +8% qoq) was 13% above our estimates due to higher-than-expected revenues which led to better-than-expected operating margins.

Recovery in business in past few quarters has been led by industrial segment

The company’s industrial business has recovered sharply driven by (1) increase in power cuts in the country since October 2011 as power demand-supply deficit widened and (2) harsh summer conditions in North India. The company had cut inverter battery prices by 15% in September 2011 which corrected the gap in pricing between Exide and its competitors. Inverter volumes of Exide have grown by ~40%, 22% and 20-25% yoy in 3QFY12, 4QFY12 and 1QFY13 respectively. The company had also increased prices by 3-4% in 4QFY12 to take advantage of higher demand which boosted industrial EBITDA margins from 11% in 3QFY12 to 15% in 4QFY12.

We believe inverter battery demand will moderate in 2HFY12E due to high base effect and slight improvement in the power demand-supply situation. Many State Governments have implemented hikes in electricity prices which could improve power situation with a lag. We also highlight that competition is increasing in the inverter battery space as Amararaja has also launched home UPS/inverter battery brands in the market in 4QFY12 under private-label brands. Hence, we believe EBITDA margins could come under pressure once the inverter battery demand moderates.

The inverter battery segment accounts for 25% of Exide’s revenues and possibly 33% of Exide’s EBITDA in our view. Hence, any moderation in demand in this segment could have a material impact on earnings in our view.

Four-wheeler replacement battery volume growth improved in 1QFY13

After a slow growth in four-wheeler replacement battery volumes over 1QFY12-4QFY12 (~low single-digit growth), Exide has delivered a ~16-19% yoy growth in replacement volumes in 1QFY13. Exide management indicated that they have gained market share in 1QFY13. However, we highlight that the company had taken a series of price cuts since September 2011 of around 8% in four-wheeler automotive batteries to gain some of its lost market share. We expect four-wheeler replacement automotive battery demand to remain strong over the next couple of years driven by sharp growth in automobile demand in FY2010-2011, but we believe EBITDA margins are unlikely to improve in this segment as both Exide and Amararaja have ambitions to increase market share.

Our key assumptions

We forecast Exide’s four-wheeler OEM volumes to grow by 7-13% yoy over FY2013-2014E in line with our industry growth forecasts.

We estimate four-wheeler replacement battery volumes to grow between 15% and 25% yoy in FY2013-14E as we expect Exide’s market share to remain stable during this period assuming stable pricing.

We expect strong growth in two-wheeler OEM volumes in FY2013E as Exide gains market share from Amco. However, we expect two-wheeler OEM demand to moderate in FY2014E for Exide as we expect Amararaja to gain share. Amararaja is in the process of tying up with two-wheeler OEMs over the next few quarters. The company is currently not present in the two-wheeler OEM battery segment.

We forecast Exide to gain market share in the two-wheeler OEM battery segment driven by a shift towards self-start bikes which require greater power.

We expect EBITDA margins to improve by 160 bps yoy in FY2013E driven by improvement in replacement/OEM mix and stable pricing. We expect EBITDA margins to decline by 40 bps yoy in FY2014E as we factor in 200 bps yoy decline in inverter EBITDA margins.

We estimate Exide’s industrial segment revenues to grow by 17% yoy in FY2013E and 13% yoy in FY2014E driven by growth in inverter and UPS battery volumes. We expect industrial segment EBITDA margins to decline by 100 bps yoy in FY2014E due to increase in competition.

Subsidiaries a drag on profits of Tata Steel India

Tata Steel’s reported net income declined 40% to Rs54 bn in FY2012. The main reason for the decline in profits was slippage in subsidiaries’ performance; key subsidiaries reported an attributable loss of Rs53.9 bn in FY2012 from profits of Rs18 bn in FY2011. Chief among them were: (1) Tata Steel Europe, which reported a loss of Rs46 bn in FY2012 against profit of Rs16.4 bn in FY2011. Note that FY2011 net income was supported by the sale of TCP; (2) Tata Steel Thailand increased its losses to Rs2.19 bn from Rs944 mn in FY2011 due to disrupted operations due to floods and (3) the South African unit increased losses in the ferrochrome business. A combination of operational improvement, likely non-recurrence of one-off items and alignment of cost to the current operating environment should ensure lower losses from subsidiaries in FY2013.

Forex volatility leads to increase in book value but impacts earnings and debt

The depreciation of the Rupee had an impact at multiple levels in FY2012.

Foreign currency translation reserve contributed Rs52 of the Rs74 increase in book value per share. Book value was Rs443/share at the end of FY2012. Foreign currency translation reserve increases due to the translation impact of overseas subsidiaries’ financials to functional currency (the Rupee). The Rupee depreciation may lead to an increase in reserves and surplus of Tata Steel: We would not be surprised if Rupee depreciation drives up book value further in 1QFY13.

Translation impact of GBP-denominated debt to the local currency may have led to Rs25-30 bn increase in debt. Depreciation of the Rupee since the end of FY2012 will lead to increase in this reported debt (Rs35 bn, in our view). This impacts fair value since the translation benefit of Tata Steel Europe EBITDA is not sufficient to offset the debt restatement impact.

Rupee depreciation led to Rs7.26 bn swing in Tata Steel’s FY2012 EBITDA (forex loss of Rs4.67 bn in FY2012 versus a gain of Rs2.59 bn in FY2011). Earnings impact was due to US$1.7 bn of unhedged foreign-currency debt. We expect forex losses to increase in FY2013.

We highlight that every Re1 depreciation the against US Dollar increases our TP on Tata Steel by Rs20 at the spot steel prices

TSE pension plan likely to slip into deficit, but cash drain may not be significant

Surplus of Tata Steel Europe (TSE) pension plan declined to Rs12 bn in FY2012 from Rs23 bn in FY2011. Some movements in net fair value of the plan assets are puzzling and we would seek clarification on them: (1) Reduction in expected returns on plan assets has not resulted in a reduction in fair value of the plan assets and (2) liability-related provisions appear aggressive. We believe the underlying surplus of the pension plan could slip into deficit. Tata Steel may have to increase funding to the plan as a result. Note that in FY2012 the total impact to earnings was Rs5.8 bn (earnings impact should have been higher but for the company’s accounting policy to adjust the actuarial gains/losses directly against the reserves. Without this accounting treatment, FY2012 net income would have been lower by 44%).

Reconciliation between change in the fair value and expected return of plan assets. Tata Steel cut expected returns on plan assets to 1-3.5% in FY2012 from 2-9.6% in FY2011. This should have resulted in a decline in fair value of assets. Surprisingly, the company reported an actuarial gain of Rs78.5 bn in FY2012 implying there have been larger gains from elsewhere. This could have been possible through MTM gain on the bond portfolio.

Liability-related assumption appears aggressive. We note that the underlying discount rate has fallen to 2.5-4.8% in FY2012 from 3-5.9% in FY2011. The rate of escalation in salary has declined marginally to 1-4.2% in FY2012 from 1-1.46% in FY2011. Both assumptions are reasonably aggressive as they reduce the present value of liability.

We note the underlying plan is a reasonably mature plan (current service cost is about 20% of interest cost) and aggressive assumptions on discount rates/staff costs may not materially change the outstanding liability but it nevertheless represents a higher risk. The lack of information on a number of members in the plan, expected mortality rates and the benefit provided to retired employees makes it difficult to analyze the change in liabilities.

Capital work in progress up to Rs200 bn, aggressive capex likely to continue

Tata Steel spent Rs121 bn on capex in FY2012. The capex number is likely to stay at Rs120-130 bn over the next 3-4 years, in our view. Consolidated CWIP increased to Rs200 bn in FY2012 from Rs135.5 bn in FY2011. The increase could have been due to

Capex on green-field integrated steel plant in Orissa. The company may have spent US$850 mn by the end of FY2012 on this project. Tata Steel indicates it has all the requisite clearances for the project and placed orders for equipment such as blast furnace, sinter plant, coke oven, steel melting ship and hot strip mills. Major piling work for the blast furnace is complete and ~130K cubic meters of concreting work done.

~US$2 bn on 3 mtpa brown-field expansion at Jamshedpur. Trial production has started. This expansion comprises a 3 mtpa blast furnace, 6mtpa pellet plant, 2X0.7 mtpa coke oven batteries, a new LD shop, thin slab caster and rolling mill of 2.54 mn tonnes per annum to produce hot-rolled coils

Blast Furnace No 4 rebuild at Port Talbot at an estimated cost of GBP185 mn. This will improve campaign life of the BF by 20 years and increase productivity to 2.5 mtpa.

Standalone CWIP increased to Rs 161 bn. Increase in CWIP in FY2012 was higher than the standalone capex. This could have been due to merger of Centennial Steel, a company managing project execution of brown-field expansion at Jamshedpur, with Tata Steel India.

It is surprising that capex on subsidiaries declined to Rs49 bn in FY2012 from Rs56 bn in FY2011, despite an increase in capex at Tata Steel Europe.

A weak year for Tata Steel Europe

Tata Steel Europe had a poor year. Performance was impacted by factors such as weak realizations, major mid-term maintenance campaign for better operational performance at Port Talbot and long business products restructuring costs at Scunthorpe UK. Key cost items such as staff costs increased 7.7% to US$192/tonne. Power cost increased 16% to US$31/tonne. Other costs also increased 8.8% to US$247/tonne. The increase could have been higher but for the adjustment of proceeds of US$125 mn from settlement of TCP arbitration in other expenditure in FY2012. The company was also impacted by inventory write-down of US$154 mn, resulting from a sudden dip in steel prices in 3QFY12. Performance of Tata Steel Europe may improve marginally due to lower restructuring costs, better operational management and lower probability of inventory write-down a la FY2012.

Conversion costs increase 19% for India business

Reported India steel business conversion cost increased 19% to Rs21,763/tonne in FY2012. Adjusting for forex gains in FY2011 and loss in FY2012, conversion cost increased to Rs21,058/tonne. The increase was due to a 24% increase in power and fuel costs and 13% increase in employee cost/tonne. Increase in cost of production is a concern but worked into our assumptions of the subsequent years.

Earnings likely to be volatile

Tata Steel’s earnings are likely to be volatile on account of the following factors.

Likely volatile performance of TSE. We forecast loss in FY2013 though lower than Rs42 bn in FY2012. Tata Steel does not create deferred tax in case of a loss at TSE; hence the earnings impact is greater, especially while consolidating it with a full tax paying India entity

High operating and financial leverage.

As a result, a marginal change in EBITDA can lead to a material shift in earnings.

Leverage may appear high but is manageable

Net debt/EBITDA of 4.3X and net debt/equity of 1.2X on FY2012 financials may appear high but are not a concern. Even leverage ratios of FY2013E and FY2014E are not a concern noting strong profitability of the India business, likely strong operational cash generation in the India business and residing CWIP that will deliver strong cash flows.

Our positive view on Tata Steel is driven by inexpensive valuations and catalysts in the form of brown-field expansion and start of shipments from overseas raw material projects. We have end-FY2013E fair value of Rs480/share.

Off-balance sheet exposure to loans stable at 1.1-1.2X since FY2009; forex-adjusted exposure at 0.5X

Overall off-balance sheet exposure to loans has remained broadly stable across public and private banks since FY2009. Overall exposure has declined to 1.1-1.2X in recent years as compared to the peak at 2X of loans we witnessed in FY2008. Excluding forward contracts, the overall exposure has declined further to 0.5X loans as compared to 1.2X in FY2008. Most private banks like HDFC Bank (4.4X exposure, 1.5X adjusted exposure), ICICI Bank (3.6X exposure, 2.2X adjusted exposure) and Axis Bank (2.8X exposure, 1.6X adjusted exposure) have a higher exposure compared to public banks at 0.7X loans (0.3X loans).

Risk of guarantee remains in related business but expect some exposure to come off over time

One of the biggest risks in off-balance sheet remains in the guarantee-related business (performance and financial guarantee) underwritten by banks. Overall guarantee exposure declined marginally for both private and public banks in FY2012. However, we believe that the performance-related guarantee business would decline over the next few years as investment cycle has been tapering off. ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, IDBI Bank, Yes Bank and IndusInd Bank are the most aggressive banks in the guarantee business at 0.2X-0.4X of loans. Banks prefer opening these exposures for existing customers and/or with collateral. Risks and capital consumed are similar to funded exposure.

Contingent liability and Basel-3 exposure have different connotations

Contingent liability and non-funded exposure reported by Basel-3 exposure do show reasonable variance in the following areas. (1) Contingent liability includes off-balance sheet notional principal on gross basis as compared to net basis under basel-3. (2) Basel-3 does not include the contingent liability arising out of partly paid investments; claims not yet acknowledged as debt/disputed claims etc. (3) Credit exposure, for certain banks, is reduced by the value of collaterals, primarily fixed deposits, after applying certain discount. (4) Select banks differentiate sanctions (contingent liability) and utilization (Basel-3) and only industry-related exposure. We do note some differences across banks resulting in variance between contingent liability and non-funded exposure.

Infrastructure, banks and engineering/construction are top exposures in the non-funded segment

Infrastructure continues to dominate the overall exposure though in FY2012 most banks kept this exposure stable or a marginal decline except for Axis Bank (21% of non-funded exposure in FY2012 as compared to 13% of non-funded exposure in FY2011). Non-fund exposure to banks was reasonably high but we understand they primarily are in the nature of derivative-type exposure for their client exposures. Most performance guarantee exposures are in the engineering/construction vertical, one of the largest exposures in the non-fund business. Iron and steel segment has been one of the other verticals with significant non-fund exposure.

Banks/Financial Institutions India

Risk on and risk off. Analysis of off-balance sheet exposures (both public and private banks) indicates a fairly stable ratio at 1.1-1.2X since FY2009. Private banks (3.3X loans) dominate as compared to public banks (0.7X loans) despite a lower share in funded business. Significant off-balance sheet exposure is currently towards infrastructure and construction verticals, but we expect these ratios to come down as investment activity in these sectors is slowing down. Risks remain similar to funded exposure though banks focus on existing clients to mitigate the same.

Off-balance sheet exposure is led by private banks

A strong business platform in (1) derivatives (forward exchange, swaps, interest rate and currency) and (2) guarantees – performance and financial significantly differentiates the off-balance sheet exposure of private banks with public banks.

Exposure has remained stable in recent years

Since FY2009, the overall multiple has remained broadly stable at 1.1X loans but significantly lower than 1.5X (average) reported during FY2005-08 as banks have reduced complex derivative exposure that resulted in losses for customers as currency markets turned volatile. The multiple for private banks is higher at 3.3X (average) since FY2009 as compared to 1.1X for public banks. Of the total exposure for the sector, nearly 50% would be of the nature of foreign exchange and derivative contracts. Among banks, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank, ICICI Bank and IndusInd Bank have top exposure as compared to overall loans in recent years.

High derivative exposure can impact the ratio as reported contracts are grossed

A key exposure that significantly changes the exposure to loans is derivative: currency, interest rate, swaps or other foreign exchange contracts. Note that exposure adjusted forward exchange is at 0.5X as of FY2012. Public sector banks are on the lower side 0.3X as of FY2012 as compared to 1.7X for private banks. Among banks, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank and IndusInd Bank have top exposure as compared to overall loans.

Expect further decline in guarantee business in the next few years

We believe that outstanding guarantee issued by banks will decline over the next few years as the investment cycle is gradually slowing down. Nearly 75% of the total guarantee business pertains to business within the country. Performance guarantee, which saw a sharp spike in recent years, is slowing based on our discussions with banks. We believe that private banks have been taking significantly higher guarantee-related business as compared to public banks.

End use of guarantees. Our discussions with most banks indicate that the guarantee business, especially ones that are performance-related, has a disproportionate contribution from Government activities – as GoI/State Governments insist as a part of bid document. A quick analysis of segmental exposure of large non-fund exposure in the infrastructure/construction vertical does validate this argument. Other than this space, we note that select export segments like gems and jewelry insist on guarantee as it acts as soft collateral.

Risk of slippage and collateral. Guarantees are primarily of two types – (1) performance guarantee (primarily given to existing clients with longstanding relationship) and (2) financial guarantee. Performance guarantee provides comfort on execution while financial guarantee provides comfort on payment. Risks are not similar but we do note that the ability to enforce performance guarantees is relatively difficult, especially when payment is to be made subject to conditions. Even when enforced, companies negotiate the eventual charge based on the conditions of delay. Financial guarantee is easier to enforce, hence higher risk, as compared to performance guarantee.

Banks/Financial Institutions India

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 25

Risk weights and revenue. Risk weights are similar to any funded exposure – capital is allocated based on the underlying credit rating (adjusted for the collateral provided) of the corporate. While banks have not been giving explicit revenue from this business, we do note that Axis Bank did give some broad reference to this stream in FY2010 when it moved its revenue recognition to an ammortisation basis from recognition at origination – total revenues deferred was `1.4 bn and outstanding exposure was `206 bn implying a deferred revenue of about 65-70 bps. Banks do revisit these guarantee charges on an annual basis and we understand that it could be in the range of 1-2% depending on the promoter, underlying nature and duration of the contract.

Infra, banks, construction and iron and steel have taken high levels of off-balance sheet exposure

We have primarily concentrated on the top banks to understand the nature of non-fund exposure of banks. As discussed, the top non-fund exposure is infrastructure, primarily power and roads/ports followed by banks, engineering/construction and iron and steel sectors. Barring Axis Bank, the exposure in infrastructure has been fairly stable or declined in most banks. The next largest exposure is in banks but we note that banks have taken derivative-linked exposure to meet the clients/individual requirements. Engineering/construction vertical, one of the next largest segments, is primarily in the form of guarantee (performance).

Exposures are backed by collaterals, especially for select sectors

In addition to having a funded relationship with a client where the overall client exposure (funded and non-funded) could have an underlying collateral, banks could take additional collateral in the form of fixed deposits or others (like mortgage, promoters equity etc.). We note that Yes Bank has nearly 11-25% of its overall non-funded exposure backed in the form of fixed deposits/guarantee. We understand that select banks net these collaterals (after taking a suitable haircut) before reporting the funded exposure.

A few reasons result in wide difference between Basel-3 non-fund exposure and contingent liability

There are a few basic reasons that result in a wide difference between Basel-3 non-fund exposure and contingent liability. (1) Contingent liability includes off-balance sheet notional principal on gross basis as compared to net basis under Basel-3. (2) Basel-3 does not include the contingent liability arising out of partly paid investments; claims not yet acknowledged as debt/disputed claims etc. (3) Credit exposure, for certain banks, is reduced by the value of collaterals, primarily fixed deposits, after applying certain discount. (4) Select banks differentiate sanctions (contingent liability) and utilization (Basel-3). (5) Select banks report only exposure to industry as compared to overall non-funded exposure. Barring services (trade), retail and agriculture would have negligible non-fund exposure.

FCCB activity – previous and upcoming

The restructuring and refinancing activity in the FCCB landscape continues as Educomp Solutions gets added to the list of issuers who have managed to raise funds to pay off their FCCB obligations. The likes of Financial Technologies, Orchid Chemicals, Reliance Communication, JSW Steel and Rolta India are few of the issuers who have successfully tapped the ECB route during the year. On the restructuring front, Moser Baer seeks to restructure its FCCB obligation (two tranches which were due in June 2012) as it convenes a bondholder meeting in August 2012. Gati, 3i Infotech and Subex are few Indian issuers who have managed to restructure and roll over their FCCBs last year. While Suzlon postponed the maturity date of two tranches from June 12, 2012 to July 27, 2012, Gemini Communications extended its maturity date by three months (to October 18, 2012). In a move to assist the current scenario, the RBI has extended the FCCB buyback window till March 2013 and revised the norms for pricing the buyback.

FCCB universe – Tata Steel and JPA have FCCBs maturing in September 2012

In terms of prominent issuers, Tata Steel and JPA have FCCBs worth US$382 mn and US$354 mn respectively in September 2012. Plethico Pharma, GTL Infrastructure and SUEL’s June 2012 tranche continue to trade at heavy discounts. While Prime Focus is currently trading at a maturity multiple of 1.4X (redemption value/CB price), Shiv-Vani Oil & Gas Exploration is yielding 28% for its FCCB maturing CY2015E.

Educomp Solutions refinances while Moser Baer seeks to restructure. While prominent companies (like JSW Steel and Tata Motors) paid up their FCCB obligations without much ado, restructuring proposals (for Moser Baer) and extension of redemption dates (for Suzlon and Gemini Communication) marred issuers at the other end of the spectrum.
