Another State election, another waiver

BJP’s new manifesto pledges that loan waivers are likely if the party is voted into power in

Karnataka. The party has announced `0.1 mn waiver on agriculture crop loans for borrowers

who have taken loans from nationalized banks and co-operatives. It is early to determine the

impact of this announcement, but we underscore the pattern of slippages reported by public

sector banks when UP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Punjab went into election mode or had to

address issues faced by farmers last year. Such loans are eventually recovered as ineligible

borrowers must repay to get loans renewed or sanctioned but such resolution takes time.

NPLs continue to rise and talk of waivers fuels the fire in the short term

Karnataka accounts for 8% of all agriculture loans in India and this news of waivers impacts

most banks. SBI’s share of agriculture loans has declined share while nationalized banks have

seen an increase (see Exhibit 2). Gross NPLs in this book have been gradually rising over the past

few years for all banks. Public banks have 15% NPLs in this book while private banks are at 3%

(see Exhibit 5). These issues take time to settle as we have seen in States like Maharashtra and

UP where such waivers have been announced in the past.

MFI business equally at risk; downgrade Ujjivan to REDUCE from ADD

Similar events in the past indicate that waivers have an immediate negative impact on the MFI

portfolios of banks and NBFCs. MFIs have just emerged from the demonetization-led crisis with

Karnataka having been keenly affected (see Exhibit 6 and 7); we watch closely to check the

impact of the latest waiver announcement. Ujjivan Financial Services and Bharat Financial have

~11-15% of their loan book in this State (see Exhibit 8). These portfolios are quite quick to

deteriorate. MFI stocks have seen stellar performance on the back of their recovery and we

would use current price points to lighten our positions in them. We downgrade Ujjivan Financial

Services to REDUCE from ADD (TP unchanged). Our multiples are unchanged at 2.5X FY2019E

book and 20X EPS for RoEs at ~13-15% in the medium term.

Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) on track; hopefully, will put paid to waivers

We have seen good progress on PMFBY with banks insisting on insurance protection measures

before loan disbursements (see Exhibit 9). The sums assured and farmers covered have

increased while the claim settlement process, barring the initial couple of years of bottlenecks,

appears easier. However, these schemes protect volume loss and not value at this stage and it is

likely that it is this value loss that fuelled the demand for loan waivers. Good monsoons in the

past few years have resulted in lower payouts. The government is trying to address the issue of

value loss through a new scheme that is linked to the cost of production. Hopefully, these two

measures will result in fewer loan-waiver announcements.

Banks India

The price of populism. The BJP’s manifesto for Karnataka, released prior to the

forthcoming election, includes the now-all-too--familiar agriculture loan waiver. The

waiver would apply to loans up to `0.1 mn from nationalized banks and co-operatives.

If the BJP does win, it would be a while before the details of any waivers are released or

put into effect; meanwhile, the temptation to default is likely to be high. Public banks

and MFIs are likely to bear the brunt of this impact. Ujjivan’s recent price performance

leaves negligible upside. Downgrade to REDUCE from ADD (TP unchanged).

Slower revenue growth and lower margins lead to earnings miss

Dmart reported revenues of `38.1 bn (+23% yoy) in 4QFY18, lower than expectations. The fourth

quarter is indeed seasonally weak and tends to see a decline in sequential revenue, additionally,

deflation in prices of staples led to slower revenue growth. Lower revenues, coupled with

lower-than expected gross margins led to net profit coming in 13% lower than estimates. That

said, the company reported revenue growth of 26% yoy in FY2018, with margin expansion and

lower interest expense driving healthy 63% yoy increase in net profit in FY2018.

24 new stores added in FY2018, raises future target

Dmart added 24 new stores in FY2018, of which 14 became operational in 4QFY18. The company

is now present in 10 states/UTs, compared to only four states/UTs in 2012. The company’s

commentary suggests that it ‘underperformed’ its target in FY2018, leading us to believe that it

is looking to add more stores in the future. We thus increase our store addition estimate from

25/25 stores to 27/30 stores in FY2019-20.

SSSG moderates to 14.2%, partly on account of GST; proportion of food declines

SSSG moderated to 14.2% in FY2018, compared to 21.2% in the previous year. We believe the

moderation was on account of several factors: (1) GST implementation, which resulted in

~200 bps of reduction in SSSG, and (2) possible base effect, as the growth of mature stores

slows down. We believe normalized SSSG (excluding GST impact) for FY2018 would have been

16-16.5%. We note that after remaining stagnant at 53% for the past five years, the proportion

of food in Dmart’s product mix declined to 51.6%, with the contribution from the general

merchandise category increasing in proportion.

Retain SELL on expensive valuations

The increase in store count in FY2020 drives an increase of 1.4% in our EBITDA estimate,

though lower other income leads to an EPS cut. The EBITDA increase drives an increase in our

DCF-based TP from `810 to `835. Valuations at 73X FY2020E P/E remain expensive; retain

SELL.

Avenue Supermarts (DMART) Others

4QFY18: revenue misses estimates. Dmart’s 4QFY18 net profit of `1.7 bn was below

estimates due to slower-than-expected revenue growth of 22.5% yoy and lower

margins. FY2018 SSSG normalized to 14.2% from 21.2% in FY2017, partly on account

of GST. We increase our new store addition estimate to 27 stores in FY2019 and 30

stores in FY2020 from 25 stores earlier. This drives our 1.4% increase in FY2020

EBITDA, and fuels our new DCF-based target price of `835 (`810 earlier). SELL stays.

Other takeaways from the results release

Dmart’s consolidated results include a `200.4 mn loss from associates. We note that the

e-commerce entity was an associate till February 1, 2018 (Dmart’s stake: 49%). It appears

that the entity would have posted a loss of upwards of `400 mn in FY2018.

Dmart has elevated Ramakant Baheti to the post of Group CFO and has appointed Niladri

Deb as the CFO. Niladri Deb is a new hire within the company, and has earlier worked at

Kraft Heinz India (as MD) and ITC (where he was responsible for product costing,

budgeting etc.).

Dmart’s board has approved the issuance of `15 bn of NCDs. This is subject to

shareholder approval at the AGM. We believe the company is well capitalized for its

immediate capex plans, and hence may not look to raise money by way of NCDs in the

near future.

ADSEZ to accelerate share gains to 100 bps+ in FY2019 from 40 bps run-rate

If not for client-specific and port-specific issues, Adani Ports would have shown a 100 bps+

share gain in FY2018 (versus the actual market share gain of 40 bps). Part of the 10 mn tons of

lost volumes at Mundra (HMEL, Adani Power) and Dhamra, coupled with start of several long-

term contracts in crude/bulk segments and strong container growth would drive material

outperformance for ADSEZ in FY2019. This coupled with acceleration of market growth to 6%

(4% for FY2018, ~8% in 4QFY18) would drive low-double-digit volume growth for Adani Ports.

Such growth momentum should sustain in FY2020 as the overhang of nil coal imports by

Mundra power plant would be in the base.

Balance sheet has started to reflect the cash-flow generation

ADSEZ has achieved its target (set a year back) of improvement in net debt/EBITDA to 2.5X

(from 3.3X) this year. This is after the build-up in receivables (port development income pending

from container JVs) and payment of second installment for the Kattuppali port transaction. This

coupled with a peaking out of capex spends, should drive a meaningful decline in net debt,

possibly towards lower levels of 2.2X. The key assumption here is no lending to related parties;

year-end financials hint at nil related party L&A as was the case a year ago. With recent bond

issuances, ADSEZ has been able to elongate the average debt maturity to >4 years. It has

sufficient cover in US$-denominated revenues (35% share) against US$ debt (65% share).

4QFY18: better-than-expected operational results driven by steady growth and improved margin

Adjusted for SEZ income, ADSEZ reported a steady 7%/7%/13%/23% yoy growth in 4QFY18

volume/revenue/EBITDA/PAT. Revenue/EBITDA growth would have been in double digits if JV

business was consolidated. This explains an outperformance on volumes and yet in-line revenue

and a modest 5%/7%/9% outperformance on EBITDA/PBT/PAT. The endgame in Mundra

power plant is still not known. We stick to our call that status quo is not a solution for the

Mundra power plant. We do not expect the endgame to materially impact ADSEZ’s business

and growth prospects.

Adani Ports and SEZ (ADSEZ) Infrastructure

Bulk and container both to drive share gains. Recent long-term contracts in the

bulk segment would accelerate share gains for ADSEZ to ~100 bps in FY2019 from 40

bps annual run-rate. This would have been visible in FY2018 but for client-specific and

port-specific issues. This bodes well in current times of acceleration in market growth.

Free cash generation for ADSEZ would further improve as capex spends moderate in

FY2019. The overhang of Mundra power plant remains intact and ADSEZ rejected the

option of promoter share sale for de-stressing the group asset. We build in the

outperformance in results in our revised `470 SoTP (from `450). BUY.

FY2018 results—another year of outperformance over all India ports

Revenue growth led by sustained volume growth and SEZ income. Adani Ports

reported FY2018 consolidated revenues of `113 bn, up 34% yoy. Growth was led by 7%

volume growth as well as higher SEZ income of `25 bn during the year (port development

income, land leasing to Britannia and Concor). Port revenues grew 7% yoy and if the JV

terminals (CT-3, CT-4) had been consolidated, port revenues would have reported 12%

yoy growth.

Volume growth outperformed India’s ports, containers grew even faster. Total

cargo volumes for FY2018 stood at 180 mn tons, up 7% yoy compared to 4% growth in

all India ports. Container volumes grew 20% yoy, outperforming the 13% growth in all

India ports. Mundra port also reported 7% volume growth in FY2018 despite suffering an

impact of 8 mn tons due to shutdown at HMEL and lower coal imports by Adani Power at

Mundra power plant. Had those volumes been received as expected, Mundra port would

have reported 14% volume growth. ADSEZ also increase its cargo handling market share

to 15.2% (versus 14.8% in FY2017).

Port EBITDA margin improved further. ADSEZ reported consolidated EBITDA of `71 bn,

up 32% yoy in FY2018. Port EBITDA of `52 bn was up 10% yoy. Port EBITDA margin

improved to 70.4% (versus 68.6% in FY2017). The company has guided for ~100 bps

improvement every year on the back of automation and efficiency improvements, until it

caps out at ~73%.

Higher tax rate led to lower PAT growth. Recurring PAT excluding forex gains/losses

stood at `42 bn in FY2018, up 12% yoy. PAT growth was moderated by higher effective

tax rate as the key Mundra port came out of the 10-year tax holiday period under Section

80IA of the Income Tax Act.

4QFY18 analyst meet takeaways

Guidance for FY2019. The company expects overall volumes of ADSEZ to grow at 1.5X

the rate of all India volume growth and container volumes to grow at 2X the all India

container growth rate. The company has signed long-term contracts with guaranteed

annual volumes worth 7.7 mn tons in FY2018. The management expects port EBITDA

margin to improve to 71% (versus 70% in FY2018) and free cash flow of `17-20 bn

(versus `12-13 bn in FY2018). The company has guided for annual capex of ~`25 bn for

the next three years. The management expects annual SEZ income of `8-10 bn over the

next five years.

Cargo diversification will continue as the key theme. Cargo diversification is the key

pillar of ADSEZ’s strategy for sustainable growth as well as improvement in margins. The

achievements and plans on this front include:

Handling of new types of cargo at various ports such as rail locomotive at Mundra,

new liquid chemicals at Hazira, handling of fertilizers, gypsum, steel and agri-

commodities at Dahej, handling of fertilizer, gypsum, clinker and slag at Dhamra and

finally RoRo, TMT bars and cement at Kattupalli.

The company is also setting up liquid tank farms of 60 KL capacity at Kattupalli, and

expects faster growth of liquid cargo at Mundra and Hazira (up to 1,000 KL in 3 years).

Adani Ports is also setting up LPG terminals at Mundra (1.8 mn tons) and Dhamra (1.2

mn tons). The company also has commitments from certain key customers to ensure

sufficient volume offtake at these terminals.

Overseas expansion attempts are ongoing, having received shortlisting for a 0.5-0.7

mn TEU capacity terminal in Bangladesh in JV with a partner (~US$100 mn of equity

investment required by ADSEZ). The company is also exploring expansion in Indonesia.

Strategy for Adani Logistics. Out of the `25 bn annual capex guidance, the capex on

logistics facilities will be limited to ~`1.5 bn. Unlike Concor that favors large facilities, the

company will set up small private freight terminals (PFTs) on area of 20-30 acres each

with expected land acquisition cost of `2-3 mn/acre. Also, unlike Concor, Adani Logistics

will not restrict itself to container cargo or rail mode of transport. The company is also

discussing with its key customers to finalize the locations of these PFTs (Baroda,

Bangalore, Kochi and Panipat terminals are in the offing).

Pushing up the average debt maturity profile. The company has been able to push

up its debt maturity profile to average 4.7 years (versus 4.1 years in FY2017). The

company also undertakes derivative contracts to swap INR liabilities for US$-denominated

liabilities so as to benefit from the natural hedge on account of dollar-denominated

container pricing. Expected improvement in FCF generation will keep the leverage ratios

in control.

Dividend distribution policy. The company has increased dividend payout ratio to 11%

in FY2018 (versus 7% in FY2017). From FY2019 onwards, ADSEZ targets to distribute up

to 15% of PAT in the form of dividends.

1QCY18 results—volumes disappoint with 3% yoy growth, lower than peers’

ACEM reported standalone revenues of `28.6 bn (+13% yoy, +7% qoq), EBITDA of `5.1 bn

(+39% yoy, flat qoq) against our estimate of `29 bn and `4.6 bn, respectively. The volumes

increased 3% yoy to 6.2 mn tons (+6% qoq)—ACEM’s volume performance was weaker than

peers’ including Ultratech (+10% yoy excluding volumes of acquired capacities), Shree Cement

(+9% yoy) and its own subsidiary ACC (+8% yoy). The EBITDA/ton for the quarter declined 6%

qoq to `815/ton (+34% yoy) due to (1) flat realizations at `4,602/ton (+9% yoy) and impact of

(2) increase in costs. The total cost per ton increased 2% qoq to `3,787/ton (+5% yoy)—this

was led by higher raw-material costs (rise in fly-ash, gypsum costs), other expenses. Also, as per

the company, an amount of `276 mn was paid during the quarter to a subsidiary for renewal of

a technology and know-how agreement which increased costs for the quarter.

ACEM’s net-income declined 3% qoq to `2.7 bn (10% yoy)—lower than our estimate due to

decline in other income (`507 mn versus `1,423 mn in 3QFY18).

Subdued prices and rising costs to affect CY2018 earnings

Despite a seasonally strong period (construction activity picks up from January to March),

cement prices increased by mere `5/bag qoq in 1QCY18 (all-India prices at `327/bag). Cement

prices in April 2018 (`326/bag) were flat as well when compared to 1QCY18 prices. On the cost

side, we expect continued pressure due to rising fuel costs (higher pet-coke prices) as well as

the increase in diesel prices. The weaker INR:US$ rate will also impact costs for cement

companies adversely. The pet-coke prices increased to US$108/ton in 1QCY18 from US$98/ton

in 4QCY17—note that rising pet-coke prices have a lagged effect on earnings owing to

inventory on hand.

Maintain REDUCE rating on expensive valuations; revise TP to `245 (`260 earlier)

Ambuja’s valuations are rich at 13/10X CY2018/2019E EV/EBITDA (attributable), even after

factoring in EBITDA growth at 16% CAGR. We maintain our REDUCE rating and revise target

price to `245/share (`260 earlier) based on 10X EBITDA (on March 2020E financials). We cut

our EBITDA estimate by 3% for CY2018-2020E due to increase in our cost assumptions,

tweaking of volumes, realizations Our EPS estimate is cut by 3-4% to `8.1, `10.6 and `13.1 for

CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. The stock trades at 29X/22X CY2018/2019E earnings.

Ambuja Cements (ACEM) Cement

Volume disappoints. ACEM reported 3% yoy growth in volumes—lower than peers’

(+9%-10%) and subsidiary ACC (+8% yoy). The earnings were weak due to flat

Changes in our estimates

Exhibit 5 highlights key changes in our estimates.

Ambuja standalone—cut estimate by close to 1%. We cut our volume estimate by

1% to 24.9 mn tons, 26.8 mn tons and 28.7 mn tons for CY2018E, CY2019E and

CY2020E. We broadly retain our realization assumption and tweak our cost

assumptions—this results in a cut in our standalone EBITDA estimate by 1% to `24.1 bn,

`27.7 bn and `31.6 bn for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. We estimate standalone

EPS of `8 , `9.6 and `11.1 for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E.

Ambuja consolidated—estimate cut by 3% as incorporate revised estimates of

ACC. The above revision combined with our earlier change in ACC’s estimates results in a

3% cut in our EBITDA estimates. We estimate consolidated EBITDA of `42.8 bn, `52.3 bn

and `62.5 bn for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY2020E. We estimate consolidated EPS of

`8.1, `10.6 and `13.1 for CY2018E, CY2019E and CY202E.

Our target price of `245/share is based on March 2020E financials at 10X EV/EBITDA.

Key highlights from 1QCY18 results

Volumes—ACEM’s cement volumes increased by 3% yoy to 6.22 mn tons in 1QCY18

and follows an 8% yoy volume growth reported by ACC for the same quarter. As per the

company, the standalone capacity utilization improved to 85% in 1QCY18 versus 81% in

1QCY17. On a consolidated basis, volumes increased 6% yoy to 13.3 mn tons. ACEM is

seeing strong growth in the housing building segment (Individual houses) as well as

improvement in its infrastructure segment.

Realizations—ACEM’s standalone realizations increased 1% qoq to `4,602/ton (+9%

yoy). The company has large dependence on North (40%) and West markets (40%) and

the cement prices in these markets saw movement of (1) - 1% qoq in 1QCY18, per our

channel checks.

Profitability and costs—ACEM’s EBITDA/ton declined 6% qoq to `815/ton (+34% yoy)

in 1QCY18 due to an increase in costs. The total cost per ton increased 3% qoq to

`3,790/ton (+5% yoy). The company saw increase in (1) raw-material costs to `434/ton

(from `410/ton in 4QCY17) due to an increase in fly-ash, gypsum costs, (2) other

expenses increased to `820/ton (`806/ton in 4QCY17). The freight costs were flat qoq at

`1,330/ton while power & fuel costs declined to `1,020/ton (from `1,098/ton in

4QCY17)---note that the previous quarter was impacted due to a temporary adverse fuel

mix due to the ban on pet-coke in Rajasthan.

Also, an amount of `276 mn was paid during the quarter to a subsidiary for renewal of a

technology and know-how agreement.

Consolidated financials—strong improvement. On a consolidated basis, ACEM’s

EBITDA increased 38% yoy to `10 bn (+5% qoq) aided by strong earnings subsidiary

ACC (EBITDA: `4.2bn, +24% yoy, +16% qoq) on the back of 8% yoy volume growth;

consolidated volumes increased 6% yoy to 13.2 mn tons. ACEM’s net income increased

to `3.9 bn (+34% yoy, -5% qoq).

Greenfield project in Rajasthan. Ambuja is investing in a new greenfield project in

Rajasthan— the company will set up a 3.1 mtpa clinkerisation plant at Marwar Mundwa.

The project will be set-up in two phases, in the first phase Ambuja will invest `13.9 bn for

setting up a 1.7 mtpa clinkerisation capacity expected to be commissioned by 2HCY20.

We highlight that Ambuja’s standalone capacities operated at close to 78% utilization in

CY2017 and thereby provides potential for strong volume over the next three years

ACC—good volume growth, earnings beat attributable to lower overhead costs

ACC reported healthy volume growth of 8% yoy for 1QCY18—not aided by a de-

monetization base as volume growth in 1QCY17 was healthy at 4% yoy. The company

reported revenue of `35.5 bn (+15% yoy, +4% qoq), EBITDA of `4.2bn (+24% yoy, +16%

qoq) and PAT of `2.4 bn (+16% yoy, +20% qoq) against our estimate of `35.2 bn, `3.5 bn

and `1.9 bn respectively. Realizations remained largely flat at `4,626/ton (`4,569/ton in

4QCY17) reflecting the weak pricing environment during the quarter. Higher power and fuel

cost, owing to a combination of higher pet-coke prices as well as an increase in import duty

for pet-coke, was offset by lower employee and overhead expenses. Profitability for the

quarter improved to `550/ton (`483/ton in 1QCY17)—see Exhibit 3.

Wealth business emerges to be the most attractive

Post the demerger of IIFL Holdings, we believe that IIFL Wealth will emerge as the most

attractive stock given its strong franchise in a niche segment, increasing and innovative

bouquet of products, investments in business by consistently adding new RMs and buoyancy

in financial savings in general. We expect the company to deliver 23% earnings CAGR during

FY2018-21E (somewhat lower than its guidance of 25%) on the back of 20% CAGR in AUA.

We expect IIFL Finance to deliver 16-17% RoE over the medium term on the back of 17-18%

loan book CAGR, translating into 19% CAGR in earnings. The company has delivered 31%

earnings growth in FY2018 on the back of 40% loan book growth translating into 2.2%

RoA and 15% RoE. The business has multiple growth drivers including mortgages, SME

loans, real estate, gold and CVs, which are all currently in a sweet spot. However, absence of

identifiable niche will likely put pressure on valuation multiples.

The capital market-linked business is relatively small with 14% contribution to overall

segmental PBT. Key concerns on this business include volatility in earnings due to high

dependence to capital markets, i.e. absence of stable revenue source, shrinking commission

yields and questionable prospects for the standalone broking business.

Revising estimates and valuation multiples; retain SELL

We are raising our pre-minority earnings estimates by 4-5% on the back of higher estimates in

the wealth and the NBFC businesses. Post the revision, we expect the company to deliver 19%

earnings CAGR during FY2018-21E and 19-20% RoE. A strong and growing franchise of the

wealth business will drive its valuations while concerns on long-term prospects of the broking

business will put pressure on the broking business; high loan book growth will support near-

term valuations of IIFL Finance even as long-term concerns on its differentiators remain. We are

revising our March 2020E-based TP for IIFL Holdings to `625 to reflect (1) 2.2X book to IIFL

Finance, (2) 20X earnings for the wealth business and (3) 12X earnings for the broking business.

IIFL Holdings (IIFL) NBFCs

Capital businesses shine; agency marginally weak. IIFL Holdings’ strong performance

was driven by high growth in the lending business across IIFL Finance and the Wealth

NBFC. Growth in capital market-linked income was weak, largely due to lower

commission yields from the intra-day business. The agency income realizations in the

wealth business were down as well. With a strong franchise in a niche (ultra HNI)

segment, wealth will emerge as the strongest business post demerger. This is already

factored in the current market price; we retain SELL with TP of `625 (up from `600).

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 31

IIFL Wealth: relatively weak quarter

PBT growth of 12% yoy. IIFL Wealth delivered 12% yoy PBT growth as revenue growth

was 21% yoy, offset by 30% yoy growth in expenses. Lower tax rate due to higher share

of carry income led to 37% yoy PAT growth.

Fee income growth of 20% yoy; yields decline. Agency fee income growth was 20%

yoy, slower than 39% yoy AUA growth. Blended yields in agency business declined to 65

bps from 77 bps in 4QFY17 and 66 bps in 3QFY18. Yields on the distribution side are

55-60 bps net of direct costs and 65-70 bps on active asset management side.

Net new money up 4% yoy. Net new money (NNM) in 4QFY18 was up 4% yoy. Over

FY2018, AUA growth of 39% yoy to `1.3 tn was driven by net new money flow of `250

bn and market returns of `117 bn. Adverse market movement in 4QFY18 offset the NNM

during the period leading to 3% qoq AUM growth. On a low base, advisory assets have

almost doubled, distribution assets were up 33% yoy and AMC up 39%.

Declining spreads in lending business. Wealth NBFC loan book grew 85% yoy and

15% qoq, driving 25% yoy growth in NII. Calculated NIM in 4QFY18 declined to 4.9%

from 6% in 3QFY18 and 7.5% in 4QFY17. Management expects to maintain lending

book at 5-7% of total AUM compared to 5% currently.

Expense growth remains high. Operating costs increased 30% yoy, compared with

~25% growth in 3QFY18. Staff expense grew 39% yoy. The company continues to add

relationship managers (RM) – number of RMs increased to 330 from 317 in 3QFY18 and

226 at FY2017 and 195 at FY2016; total employees including the investment team are

about 700. Period-end AUM per RM is ~`4.0 bn, down 5% yoy. Non-staff expense

growth was 13% yoy.

One-fourth of agency fee exposed to change in MF regulation. IIFL Wealth earned

nearly 25% of FY2017 agency fees from mutual fund distribution. This can potentially be

at risk if regulations mandate lower expense ratios on mutual funds, leading to pass-

through of lower revenues from asset managers to distributors. However, in the earnings

call, management highlighted that incrementally the ultra HNI segment has reduced focus

on mutual funds and is more into alternatives. As such, the impact of any such regulation

will be relatively lower.

Broking income at 5-6% of total agency income. IIFL Wealth has a separate in-house

broking license. Broking revenues contribute about 5-6% of its total revenue.

23% earnings CAGR over the medium term. We expect IIFL Wealth to deliver 27%

PAT growth in FY2019E followed by about 21% over the next two years. We expect AUA

growth to be about 20% annually with about 10% growth in distribution assets and

significantly higher growth in other segments. Net realizations will continue to decline

over time, i.e. 62 bps in FY2019E and 58 bps in FY2020E from 71 bps in FY2018; this

may be partially offset by reduction in cost to income ratio to 31% in FY2019E from 35%

in FY2018. Management has guided that the Wealth NBFC will remain at 5-6% of AUA

and earn about 200 bps of gross yields.

IIFL Finance: 40% yoy AUM growth in FY2018 driven by home loans

AUM growth picks pace; up 40% yoy in 4QFY18. IIFL Finance reported AUM of `311

bn, up ~40% yoy and 14% qoq. Excluding the capital market loans, AUM growth was

marginally higher at 42% yoy in 4QFY18. Growth is driven by home loans, construction

finance and MSME loans. CV loans remained strong given the upsurge in demand in the

CV market. Additionally, gold loan growth revived momentum this quarter.

Strong earnings growth at 33% yoy in 4QFY18. IIFL Finance’s PAT growth of ~33%

yoy was driven by strong loan growth and margin expansion (reported NIM) by 40 bps

(flat yoy). Growth in expenses was high at 43% yoy in 4QFY18 leading to 510 bps

increase in cost-to-income ratio. Investment in infrastructure and focus on increasing

penetration (addition of 226 branches in 2HFY18) is driving spike in operating expenses.

Credit cost witnessed 66 bps qoq drop to 0.9% (down 40 bps yoy) on the back of

improved asset quality across most segments.

Steep jump in home loan growth at 61% yoy in 4QFY18. Retail home loans, being

the focus area going forward, grew by 61% yoy and 14% qoq. IIFL is positioned at the

lower end of the ticket size with average ticket size of ₹2.1 mn (down from ₹2.6 mn in

3QFY17) IIFL’s retail home loan business is directly linked to superior performance in the

construction finance business with the latter generating leads for the former. Going

ahead, this segment is expected to demonstrate robust growth.

MSME and micro-finance loans rally in 4QFY18. MSME and MFI loans increased by

1.6X yoy to `33.2 bn by 4QFY18. MSME loans increased 1.4X yoy to `24.8 bn by

4QFY18 whereas MFI loans witnessed rapid jump at 2.5X yoy to `8.4 bn on a low base.

As the economy stabilizes post demonetization and IIFL Finance increases its branch

penetration, this segment will see robust growth going ahead.

De-focus of LAP business continues. LAP growth was modest at 2% yoy and 3% qoq.

The company is gradually de-focusing this book owing to asset quality pressure faced in

the past few quarters. NNPL increased at a rapid rate to 1.9% by 2QFY18 from 0.9% in

4QFY17. NNPL ratio, however, improved in 4QFY18 (down 70 bps qoq to 1%). Target

segment is smaller-ticket LAP in the range of `7-8 mn largely spread across the country

with average portfolio yield of ~12-13%.

Significant improvement in asset quality. GNPL ratio dropped 40 bps qoq to 1.7%.

Provision coverage increased at a steep pace to 54% (from 44% qoq). Improvement in

collections led to the sharp improvement in asset quality. The major improvement was

seen across LAP, CV and construction finance segments where NNPL dropped 70 bps qoq

to 1%, 80 bps qoq to 1.5% and 90 bps qoq to 1.4% respectively in 4QFY18 Write-offs

were lower in 4QFY18 at 4% of GNPL compared to ~16-25% in the past three quarters.

Near-term margin compression. We project ~17% AUM CAGR over FY2018-21E

driven by retail loans, CV and growing MSME/ MFI loans on a low base. Over the

medium-to-long term NIM will trend down due to decline in loan yields on the back of

greater competition in the fast-growing home loan space (marginally offset from the high

yielding MSME and MFI products). Calculated yields will drop 70 bps yoy in FY2019E to

14.6% and decline further to 14.1% by FY2021E. Borrowing cost are also expected to

increase going ahead led by rise in bond yields and increase in MCLR rates by banks (the

company has 38% of borrowings in the form of term loans as of 4QFY18). Calculated

cost of borrowings is expected to increase to 9.3% by FY2021E from 9.1% in FY2018.

We hence expect NIM (calculated) to drop 90 bps yoy in FY2019E to 5.3% and further

moderate to 4.8% by FY2021E.

Yield pressure in broking business

Equity broking revenues grew 34% yoy compared to 39% yoy growth in cash equities ADV

and 73% yoy growth in derivatives ADV for IIFL. Consequently, blended yields declined 20

bps qoq and 50 bps yoy to 1.7%. This was driven by general pressure on yields as well as

lower share of delivery volumes during the quarter.

Muted 2.6% growth in volumes offset by robust EBITDA margins at 29.6%

Castrol’s results were broadly in line with our estimates in 1QCY18 as modestly lower-than-expected

2.6% yoy growth in volumes to 51.5 mn liters was offset by higher-than-expected EBITDA margins

at 29.6% (-200 bps qoq). Employee cost and other expenses were both below our estimate,

indicating cost controls amid a rising RM environment. A sharp 23% yoy jump in other income to

`228 mn was offset by a 16% yoy increase in depreciation to `143 mn. Reported net income was

in line with our estimate, increasing by 1.6% yoy to `1.82 bn (EPS of `1.8).

Subdued 2.6% growth in volumes. Castrol’s revenues increased by 5% yoy to `9.27 bn in

1QCY18, led by 2.6% yoy growth in volumes to 51.5 mn liters and 0.9% sequential increase

in realizations to `180/liter. Personal mobility and CVO segments recorded mid-single digit

growth in volumes, while industrial segment saw a decline. We expect the company to

deliver 3-4% growth in volumes in CY2018-19E, even as the quarterly print may look volatile

due to a sharply lower base of 2QCY17 and subsequent higher base of 2HCY17.

Expected moderation in margins to 29.6%. EBITDA increased by 4% yoy to `2.7 bn, 1%

above our estimate, as sequential 110 bps moderation in gross margins was offset by lower-

than-expected employee cost and other expenses. Gross contribution declined 1.1% qoq to

`96.6/liter, as a 3.3% qoq increase in RM cost was offset by 1% increase in realization. The

company undertook a 3-4% price hike in February, which will be reflected fully in the current

quarter. Unit EBITDA declined by 5.5% qoq to `53.3/liter, 1.7% ahead of our estimate due

to lower employee cost and other expenditure.

Modest 1% cut in CY2018-19 EPS estimates; near-term risk from spike in crude/base oil prices

We cut our EPS estimates by ~1% for CY2018-19, as we factor in modestly lower volumes and

margins versus our earlier assumptions. We retain ADD with a revised TP of `215 (`220 earlier),

at 25X CY2019E EPS, expecting the company to deliver high single-digit growth in earnings in the

long term, driven by modest growth in volumes and enhancement of unit profitability. A sharp

spike in crude/base oil prices is a key risk to our near-term estimates and positive view on the

stock, although Castrol has established strong pricing power in the lubricants industry historically

by increasing or maintaining its unit profitability/margins even in adverse crude price environment.

Castrol India (CSTRL) Energy

In-line results. Castrol’s results were in line with our estimates, as modestly lower

growth in volumes was offset by slightly higher margins due to cost controls. We retain

ADD with a TP of `215 (`220 previously), expecting the company to deliver 11% CAGR

in EPS over the next three years and high single-digit growth in earnings in the long

term despite muted growth in volumes. Any sharp spike in base oil prices is a near-term

risk to our view, although Castrol has demonstrated strong pricing power historically.

4QFY18—defying seasonal weakness; key metrics (except footfalls) tracking well

PVR reported its strongest March quarter in the past seven years thanks to the deferred release

of the blockbuster movie 'Padmaavat’ and good box office performance of a few other movies.

Most metrics that indicate PVR’s execution were solid—(1) ATP at `209 (+10% yoy), (2) SPH at

`87 (+12% yoy) and (3) ad revenues `720 mn (+37 yoy). Headline footfalls grew 4% yoy to 19

mn. The disappointing bit was the 2% yoy decline in footfalls on same-store basis despite a

solid movie line-up; PVR partly attributed it to a strike in South India during 4Q. EBITDA at `983

mn was 12% ahead of our estimate led by the revenue beat; EBITDA margin at 16.7%

(KIE15.5%) was up 490 bps yoy. Net profit was `262 mn as against a loss of `1 mn in 4Q last

year. For full year FY2018, EBITDA/PAT grew 17%/30% yoy whereas footfall growth was

modest at 1%.

Acceleration in screen addition and portfolio premiumisation

PVR has guided for (1) 90+ screen openings in FY2019E versus an average of 45 screens/year

over FY2014-18. The high screen addition rate can sustain for 2-3 years; it is driven by pickup in

mall development activity and more screens per mall, (2) accelerated upgradation of its screen

portfolio to increase premium format screens (such as Gold class) to 20%+ of total screens from

9% at present, (3) capex of `4-4.5 bn/year (50% above usual run rate) over the next two years

in view of #1 and #2. Further, PVR’s board has approved fund raising of upto `10 bn via NCDs

(enabling resolution). PVR is preparing for acquisition opportunities that come its way as the

multiplex industry goes through another round of consolidation over the next 1-2 years. It looks

like PVR is on track to meet its target of 1,000 screens (625 at present) in the next 3-4 years.

Upgrade EBITDA by 6% and tweak EPS. Stock is fairly valued; await better entry point

We raise PVR’s FY2019-20E EBITDA by 6% as we model: (1) higher screen openings (85

screens/year from 55 earlier), (2) higher convenience fee in view of upcoming renewals with

Bookmyshow and PayTM, (3) slightly higher ATP and ad revenues (benefit of premiumisation

drive). Our FY2020E EPS declines marginally as EBITDA upgrade is more than offset by higher

depreciation and interest costs. We value PVR at 12X FY2020E EV/EBITDA; raise TP to `1,425

from `1,350 (led by EBITDA upgrade). We like PVR’s execution and industry leadership, and

believe it may race ahead (expand lead over competition) over the next 2-3 years. However, we

do not see a case of re-rating given regulatory risks and threat from OTT platforms that the

business faces. Stock is fairly valued and we would wait for a better entry price.

PVR (PVRL) Media

Stepping up its game. PVR reported 68% yoy growth in EBITDA, 12% ahead of our

estimate, led by the success of the deferred blockbuster movie ‘Padmaavat’. The

company is stepping up the pace of screen additions, upgradation of its existing screen

portfolio and is gearing to participate in the final leg of industry consolidation. This

augurs well for revenue and EBITDA growth and can potentially expand PVR’s lead over

competition but push back FCF generation by 2-3 years. At 12X FY2020E, the stock is

fairly valued.

PVR’s expansion and premiumisation drive—understanding opportunities and

risks

Organic screen addition. As PVR is stepping up the pace of organic screen openings,

three questions that come up are:

(1) Quality/location of new screens and dilutive impact on ATP, SPH and ad

revenue/screen, if any? As 75% of the screen openings in FY2019E will be in tier-I or

tier-II cities and it is unlikely to put pressure on ATP, SPH or ad revenues/screen.

(2) Will it result in cannibalization of footfalls? About 45% of screens to be opened in

FY2019E are in South where penetration of multiplexes is relatively low and there is an

opportunity to gain share from single screens. That said, some cannibalization of

footfalls from PVR’s existing screens and other multiplexes cannot be ruled out.

(3) Will competitive intensity rise? We expect some pick up in organic screen additions

of INOX and Cinepolis as well, over the next 2-3 years. Given this, it has to be seen

whether acceleration in screen additions puts any pressure on occupancy of the

industry especially as we may see some change in consumption patterns with led by

digital (most movies will be available on OTT after 2 months of theatrical release).

Accelerated premiumisation of existing screen portfolio. PVR plans to upgrade its

screen portfolio and increase premium format screens (such as Gold class) to 20% of

total screens from 9% at present. The idea is to have a mix of Gold class (premium

services, recliner seats at about 2X price) and regular screens at all prominent properties

just the same way as airlines have ‘business class’ and ‘economy class’ sections on the

same flight. PVR’s experience indicates that demand for ‘premium class’ is higher than

the existing supply and RoI of premium screens justifies upgrade of 1 or 2 screens at

several multiplex properties. Two questions that come up are:

Is this a one-time exercise or will refurbishing cost/maintenance capex remain

elevated? We believe PVR may upgrade a few screens ahead of regular refurbishment

cycle (7-9 years) in view of this premiumisation drive. From long-term perspective,

refurbishment cycle may shorten if technology advancement happen at a rapid pace.

Is the demand for ‘premium’ experience big enough; what if all of the top-3 players

embark on similar premiumisation drives? We note that peer INOX has upped its game

and has upgraded several properties in the recent past. We will have to closely track

renovations of PVR, INOX and Cinepolis to better understand supply side dynamics of

‘premium formats’. If supply exceeds demand, it can put pricing pressure in the near

term.

Inorganic opportunities. Standalone multiplexes or smaller multiplex chains are finding

it difficult to operate profitably and compete with large chains. It is likely that several such

properties will be up for sale over the next 1-2 years especially as prevailing valuations are

tempting for a small player looking to exit. Key questions that come up are

How does PVR intend to fund acquisitions; are PVR’s promoters open to further equity

dilution. We believe that a small acquisition may be completely funded by debt (PVR

has passed enabling resolution to raise up to `10 bn through NCDs for acquisition and

some debt refinancing). In the event of a large acquisition (say about `6-7 bn+ or

multiple acquisitions), PVR promoters may dilute further (promoter shareholding is

about 20% at present).

The size of acquisitions and valuations that PVR may pay; will it generate value for

investors? We believe that other than SPI cinemas (Tamil Nadu’s premium multiplex

chain), consideration required to acquire most other small multiplex chains will be

Media PVR

50 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH

under `5 bn. SPI cinemas acquisition can be around `1 bn or more (as per unauthentic

media articles, PVR had looked at this chain in the past and engaged with its owners).

We believe sellers owning good multiplex properties are expecting 10-12X 1-2 year

forward ‘potential’ EBITDA, just marginally lower than PVR’s prevailing valuations and

perhaps higher than INOX’s valuations. Acquisitions at such valuations may not create

any value for the investors in the near term.

To sum it up, we believe PVR may potentially race ahead of competition (widen revenue

and screen gap versus competition) over the next 2-3 years. Whether or not this strategy

pays off in terms of RoIs in medium-term will be a function of (1) theatrical consumption

trends as digital ecosystem evolves, and (2) response and strategy of PVR’s competition

(INOX and Cinepolis). Premiumisation gains can fall short of expectation if all the top

three multiplex players pursue aggressive upgradation thus competing for a relatively

small and limited premium audience segment.

Key highlights from 4QFY18 results and conference call

Footfalls grew 4% yoy to 19 mn (KIE 18.8 mn)—Comparable properties’ (SSG) footfalls

declined 2% yoy. Key movies during the quarter were ‘Padmaavat’, ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki

Sweety’, ‘Raid’,’ Padman’, ‘Black Panther’ and spillover of ‘Tiger Zinda hain’ as against

‘Raees’, ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’, ‘Jolly LLB 2’, ‘Kaabil’ and spillover of ‘Dangal’ in 4Q last

year

Average ticket price (ATP) grew 10% yoy to `209; ATP growth for comparable properties

was 9%

F&B spends per head (SPH) increased 12% yoy to `87; F&B gross margin was steady at

73.6%

Ad revenues grew 37% yoy; ad revenue growth for comparable properties was solid

31% yoy partly driven by blockbuster movie ‘Padmaavat’

FY2018 roundup—Footfalls grew 1.1% (SSG -6%); ATP grew 7% to `210 (SSG 7%);

SPH was up 11% (SSG 10%) and ad revenue/screen increased 20% yoy. Revenues grew

9%, EBITDA growth was higher at 15% and net profit at `1.25 bn increased 33% yoy.

Balance sheet—net debt increased by `793 mn to `7.96 bn. Capex for the year was

about `3.5 bn. PVR added 46 screens (net of closure of three screens) during FY2018.

Screen addition guidance. PVR has guided 90+ screen additions in FY2019; break-up:

(1) tier-wise—40+ in tier-I (top 8-10 cities), 29+ in tier-II (next 30-35 cities) and 21+ in

tier-III, (2) region-wise—41+ in South, 34+ in North, 11+ in West and 4+ in East. We note

that PVR has missed screen addition guidance by 20%+ over the past 3-4 years due to

unanticipated delays (usually in license procurement). The management has indicated that

(1) 23 screens are ready and awaiting licenses, (2) 58 screens are under fit-out and

expected to be completed in the next 5-8 months, (3) 50-60 screens are expected to be

handed over for fit out in FY2019. It looks like the company has kept adequate buffer in

FY2019 guidance.

We note that PVR has not included state government subsidy (potentially `100-120 mn

over 2Q-4QFY18) pertaining to tax exemptions due to lack of clarity on the refund

mechanism under GST. PVR management has made representations to most state

governments and is awaiting response.

Average capex per new screen is about `30 mn. Upgradation (renovation) capex will be

around `1.25 bn; PVR renovated 17-18 properties in FY2018 and it intends to upgraded

about 12-15 properties in FY2019

Three deals coming for closure will be 3% EPS accretive and 50 bps RoE accretive

Roads invIT (US$0.8 bn EV): L&T investing in the platform. The proposed roads invIT would

transfer L&T’s equity stake at assumptions of 5%/13.5% traffic CAGR/cost of equity. The

valuation is 25% below our base case (with 6%/13.5% assumptions) and ~45% below the

quantum suggested by the EY valuation report (~6.8% /13.5% assumptions). The InvIT will

provide a small 1%/20 bps consolidated EPS/RoE accretion in FY2020. Quantum would be

higher at 3.5%/60 bps if all road assets get transferred at a similar 1.8X multiple to invested

book.

E&A (US$2 bn EV): Doesn’t reflect premium for strategic fit for buyer. The proposed sale

of E&A business to Schneider Electric would enable the global major to get a foothold into the

key business of low and medium voltage switchgear in India. The valuations however fall short

of reflecting any premium to account for filling up of such gap in the buyer’s portfolio. The

transaction would be slightly EPS/RoE accretive for L&T in FY2020.

Kattupalli (US$0.3 bn EV): Doesn’t reflect premium for strategic fit for buyer. The deal

valuation was likely finalized in 2016 at a modest 10-11X forward EV/EBITDA multiple in spite

of it enabling Adani Ports and SEZ to compete with a large and congested Chennai port.

Checkered history of selling non-core assets would deter recycling of proceeds

In the five key transactions (US$200mn to US$2 bn EV) done over the past four years, L&T has

been unable to get fair valuations. This is in spite of three of these five assets being of good

strategic value to the buyer (Dhamra port, Kattupalli port, E&A business). The fate of the other

asset in Seawoods was even worse with L&T having to take a hit against book value. Beyond

the impending closure of the recent deals, the remaining assets in Nabha Power and Hyderabad

Metro would take much longer to elicit investor interest. We expect the past four years of

history to deter L&T from recycling proceeds of impending asset sales.

Stage set for core E&C prowess to reflect more in financials and increase dividend payout ratio

Sale of E&A business, roads invIT and Kattupalli port can improve FY2020 RoE to 17.5%. Apart

from reflecting the E&C business more in the results, this may set the stage for L&T’s dividend

payout ratio (incl. dividend tax) to cross the already high 35% current levels.

L&T (LT) Industrials

Divestments: takeaways beyond valuation. L&T would cede the better part of its

road portfolio at a modest 1.8X invested book, a hit possibly taken to create a platform

for future asset monetization. Coupled with the Kattupalli port and E&A deals, the InvIT

would be marginally EPS/RoE/SoTP accretive. The remaining large non-core assets would

take longer to get monetized. Difficulties in selling non-core assets may deter L&T from

recycling proceeds, paving the way for the strength of a good EPC business to reflect

more in operating results and may increase the already high dividend payout ratio.

Road InvIT – modest valuations mask larger purpose

Reasonable profile of assets. L&T’s recently launched InvIT, named IndInfravit, has

started small with only five projects in its fold namely (1) Krishnagiri-Thopur, (2) BPP

Tollway, (3) Devihalli-Hassan, (4) Krishnagiri-Walajahphet and (5) Western Andhra

Tollways. Cumulatively, the set of these five projects made a loss of `2.9 bn in FY2017,

mainly led by a similar quantum of loss in L&T BPP Tollway. The other four projects were

close to breakeven in FY2017 or generated a small profit.

Equity transferred at ~2X invested book. The transaction represents a valuation of 2X

invested equity in these five projects. The InvIT will provide a small 1-2% consolidated EPS

accretion and 20-30 bps consolidated ROE accretion in FY2019 and FY2020.

IndInfravit will provide a platform to L&T for future divestments. Our analysis

suggests that if all the operational road projects are sold to the InvIT at ~2X book, the

total consolidated EPS accretion would be 2.5% and ROE accretion would be 40 bps in

FY2020.

Cumulative impact of recent transactions will partially hide losses in Hyderabad

Metro. The cumulative impact of the InvIT, Kattupalli and E&A divestment will lead to

3% or `2/share consolidated EPS accretion and 50 bps ROE accretion in FY2020. The EPS

accretion will partially reduce the estimated `6/share negative EPS impact of Hyderabad

Metro in FY2020.

Checkered history of selling non-core assets may deter recycling of proceeds

L&T has found it difficult to sell non-core assets in the past

For assets with strategic value to the buyer, L&T has not been able to get a valuation

premium. In case of its roads portfolio, it has had to lower the valuation in order to set up

an investment platform in the form of an invIT.

For the sale of the Seawoods retail asset, the company had to absorb the cost overruns

and thus had to sell the asset at less than book value.

Modest impact of recent transactions on SOTP

From an SOTP perspective, the five roads InvIT projects, Kattupalli port and E&A division

represented `8/share (2X book), `7/share (2X book) and `85/share (assuming no debt on

E&A, 18X P/E multiple) in our target price. After the divestment, these components will be

removed from SOTP and the corresponding consideration (cash + residual InvIT units)

equivalent to `10/share, `14/share and `100/share will accrue to the valuation. The net

impact thus will be a negligible `24/share or ~1.6% accretion in our SOTP of `1,505/share.
