Stable performance aided by cost control and low credit cost

HDFC Bank reported another stable quarter with earnings growth of 20% yoy on the back of

18% revenue growth and benefit of operating leverage. NII growth (20% yoy) led by relatively

moderate loan growth (18% yoy) and stable NIM (20 bps lower qoq and stable yoy) aided this

performance, although there was a relatively subdued performance in non-interest income with

higher contribution from treasury income. Retail loans grew 22% yoy while non-retail grew

15% yoy. Asset quality was broadly stable qoq with gross and net NPL of 1.0% and 0.3%

respectively.

Retail loan growth momentum continues

Despite a fairly challenging environment on growth and high competition, HDFC Bank has been

gaining market share in the retail business while selectively building scale in the corporate

business. The bank continues to exhibit its strength in execution with retail growth for the

largest player growing ahead of industry average. We are yet to see our initial hypothesis of

some loss of market share due to rising competition. While growth was solid across products, it

is the unsecured loan portfolio (~27% of retail loans) that is still leading growth (32% yoy).

There are risks but stronger balance sheet of retail customers is giving greater comfort to cross-

sell these products.

Retain ADD with TP of ₹1,400 (from ₹1,350)

We value the bank at ₹1,400 (from ₹1,350 earlier), which implies 3.7X book and 20X FY2018E

EPS. Increase in target price is due to lower cost of equity. We expect the bank to deliver 20%

CAGR in earnings for FY2017-19E and RoEs in the range of 19-20%. The basic premise of a

strong compounding theme remains intact although the risk of time correction is reasonably

high, especially if we see stronger ideas emerging from other banks or the macro sees a

continuous improvement. We see HDFC Bank as a frontrunner in capturing the fast-growing

retail opportunity. Even as other banks are getting more active in retail, HDFC Bank’s strong

execution track-record of building a strong retail network underpinned by stable liability profile

provides comfort on growth and profitability.

HDFC Bank (HDFCB) Banks

Stable trends. HDFC Bank reported another quarter of stable performance with earnings

growth of 20% yoy on the back of similar operating profit growth supported by cost

control. Loan growth slowed down to 18% yoy led by retail loans growth (22% yoy),

especially in unsecured loan products (32% yoy). We continue to like HDFC Bank’s

strong market positioning in high-growth retail loans and calibrated growth in

corporate loans. Retain ADD with TP of ₹1,400 (from ₹1,350).

Retail segment continues to drive strong loan growth

HDFC Bank reported 18% yoy loan growth, driven by 22% yoy growth in retail loans.

Contribution of retail loans is at 50% (up ~80 bps qoq). Wholesale segment grew at 15%

yoy. Bank has been focused on lending to high-rated corporates for driving the growth in

the wholesale segment. These growth rates are slower compared to 25-30% growth trends

over the past few quarters.

Unsecured loan growth remains high, contributing to 26% of retail loans

Unsecured loans have remained the mainstay of retail loan growth in past few quarters.

Personal loan and credit card loans together grew 32% yoy and 7% qoq. Contribution of

unsecured retail loans has grown to ~27% from ~22% in FY2014. With strong support

from low-cost funding and yield pressure emerging in the system elsewhere, the bank has

been aggressive in growing the unsecured book, thus providing support to the overall

margins. Given the strength of the retail balance sheets at the moment, the current level of

strong growth does not raise any red-flags at the moment.

Healthy growth continued in auto loans with car and two-wheeler loan growth at 23%. CV

loan growth was 12% yoy, while growth in business banking loans (which includes LAP)

was 15% yoy.

HDFC Bank has grown at ~25% yoy in the past four quarters, well above the industry loan

growth of 10-11%. The bank has indicated in the past that that they intend to grow at 3-6

percent points above the system loan growth and the excess growth over this alpha may

taper down. The bank does not explicitly target any share for retail, but the relative

slowdown in corporate have led to increase in share of retail loans. Our own state-wise

analysis suggests market share gains for HDFC Bank in both deposits and loans across most

states.

We are not too sure if the bank would be able to improve loan growth >25% in the

medium term considering that the underlying business environment remains challenging,

which implies near-term loan growth would be subdued for the industry and the bank is

expected to grow at a premium to industry average.

Exhibit 5: Proportion of retail loans inched up in 2QFY17 Break-up of loan book, March fiscal year-ends, 2010-2QFY17 (%)

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities

Asset quality broadly stable; coverage ratio stable qoq at 71%

Gross NPL and net NPL ratios were broadly stable qoq at 1.0% and 0.3% of loans

respectively. Provision coverage was stable qoq at 71%. We are less concerned on the NPL

cycle and believe that the risk of further deterioration looks unlikely, which implies that the

scope for provisions to remain at these levels would depend upon the change in the loan

profile (higher share of lending to the unsecured loan portfolio). We forecast 1.1%-1.2%

gross NPL ratio over next two years with credit costs of ~60 bps.

Exhibit 6: Provision coverage stable qoq at 70% Break-up of provisions made during a year, March fiscal year-ends, 2010-16 (Rs mn)

Notes: (a) Comparison with earlier years will be incorrect as FY2013 has seen a change in reporting where income from written-off loans have been shifted to non-interest income from the earlier practice of netting with provisions. FY2012 numbers restated as per the change in accounting policy.

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities

Calculated NIM down ~10 bps qoq; growth in unsecured loans supporting

yields/spreads

Calculated NIM declined 10 bps qoq at 4.4%, with stable spreads declining by similar

quantum to 3.9%. Investment yields declined ~100 bps qoq due to mix towards short-term

papers. Lending yields remained broadly stable yoy. The bank is probably taking a conscious

call on the rate and economic cycle with focus on a high share of fixed-rate loans to give

greater comfort on NIM as we head in to the next couple of low interest rate environment.

We would be cautious at the bank’s NIM as we believe that we are currently at peak lending

spreads in the business and the high competition and shift to corporate loans would make it

challenging to expand NIM from current levels. We expect NII CAGR of ~16% in FY2017-

19E and expect it to lag ~18% loan CAGR. We forecast NIM (calculated) to decline by ~40

bps over FY2017-19E.

Core fee growth of 13% yoy

Non-interest income growth of 14% yoy was supported by treasury gains (75% yoy),

exchange income declined 8% yoy. Core fee income growth was 13% yoy. Overall we see

non-interest income growth higher than NII growth as the opportunity for contribution from

treasury income is higher.

Cost growth at 16% yoy, lower than revenue growth

Cost-income ratio improved marginally qoq to 45%. Cost growth of 16% was lower than

18% revenue growth in the quarter. Employee cost growth was 17% while non-staff cost

growth was 16% yoy. Branch network grew 8% yoy to 4,548, adding 7 branches in

2QFY17. We expect cost-income ratio to decline to 43.6% in FY2017E and further decline

to ~40% by FY2019E as we believe that growth in fresh investments in infrastructure would

be modest as compared to balance sheet growth.

CASA ratio healthy at 40%; growth of 19% yoy

Overall deposit growth was lower at 17% yoy compared to nearly greater than 20% yoy

growth in the past few quarters. CASA growth was at 19% yoy was in line with recent

trends. Share of CASA as a % of total deposit and borrowings is stable qoq at 36%.

Other key highlights

Tier-1 ratio stands comfortable at 13.3% with overall CAR at 15.4% as per Basel-3

guidelines.

Weak overall performance; positive trends on retail front

Axis Bank reported a sharp 83% yoy decline in earnings on the back of 5X yoy increase in

provisions. Operating profits grew 13% yoy as revenue growth of 16% yoy was offset by 19%

yoy growth in operating expenses. NII grew 11% yoy despite 17% yoy loan growth as NIM

declined 20bps yoy/qoq. CASA ratio improved qoq to 41% with strong 20% yoy growth in

savings balances. Retail loans grew 25% yoy while corporate loan growth slowed to 14% yoy

from 20-25% in the past few quarters. Non-interest income grew 24% yoy on a lower base,

despite lower-than-expected gains from the treasury.

Slippages from watchlist rises sharply; slippage also seen in foreign currency exposure

Axis Bank reported 10% (annualized) slippage ratio, with ~80% from the watch list. Overall

impaired loans increased ~150 bps qoq to 5.9% and ~9.5% including the watchlist. The

management has highlighted that macro factors such as slower pace of resolutions, lack of

success in implementing RBI tools (SDR, S4A, etc.) and financial stress at the borrowing entity

level have driven the bank to aggressively declare NPLs from the watchlist. It is a bit

disappointing that the bank has chosen to blame part of the slippages on extraneous factors

especially when a large share of these assets were reported as NPLs. The bank has further

indicated that earlier guidance of 60% slippage from the watch list will be revised upwards. The

pace of slippages in 2HFY17 will be slower, but credit cost will remain high towards improved

provisioning.

Operating profit growth to be under pressure; valuation discomfort leads to our negative view

We maintain our REDUCE rating (TP at ₹510 from ₹530 earlier) and value at ~2X book and 14X

September FY2018 EPS for RoEs in the range of 15% in the medium term. We have reduced

our earnings to factor in higher provisions and pressure emerging on operating profit growth.

The full impact of such sharp increase in NPLs in less than a few quarters would make it

challenging to forecast near term operating profit growth and we do see a fair bit of volatility in

these estimates. We are broadly comfortable valuing corporate balance sheet at 2X book which

implies that the risk of downside is still high for the bank. We see better opportunities in the

market and would continue to prefer ICICI Bank over Axis Bank at current levels.

Axis Bank (AXSB) Banks

The pain increases. Axis Bank’s performance was extremely weak with gross NPLs

increasing sharply by ~160bps to 4.2% after adjusting for the sale of loans to ARCs and

a similar reduction in the watch list. High slippages outside the watchlist and NPLs more

than doubling in foreign currency book are concerns. The management has indicated

that it has reached the peak of slippages, but we are assessing its negative impact on

revenue profile as we see weak operating profit growth in the next few quarters. We

believe that the valuations are still not comfortable to turn positive. Maintain REDUCE.

Slippages of 10%; 80% from the watchlist; NPLs rise in foreign currency loans

Overall impaired loans increased ~150 bps qoq to 5.9% as GNPL increased 170 bps qoq

to 4.2% while restructured loans declined 30 bps qoq to 1.7%. Calculated provision

coverage ratio declined slightly to 53% from 58% qoq.

Fresh impairment for the quarter increased ~600 bps qoq to 10.2%. About 80% of the

slippages resulted the watchlist. About 90% of the slippages from corporate loan book.

There was no fresh restructuring. SME slippages were 1.5% while retail was lower at

0.5%. We note that the NPLs in the foreign currency exposure more than doubled qoq

and we are not fully aware of the possible overlap with the watch list.

About 40% of the watchlist has already slipped to NPL and currently stands at ₹157 bn

from ~₹250 bn in March 2016.

Outstanding 5/25 stood at ₹51 bn and SDR stood at ₹11 bn at the end of the quarter.

Almost all of SDR and only 10% of 5/25 exposure falls under watchlist.

Management has indicated that 2H slippages will be materially lower than 1H but credit

cost will remain elevated in order to increase provision cover. We note that the critical

portfolios like iron and steel has seen very low provisions currently (~30% levels) which

implies that the improvement in coverage ratio would be more driven by the need to get

coverage levels closer to loss-given-default levels.

Exhibit 12: Fresh additions to restructured loans were high for the quarter due to DCCO extension Movement of the restructured loans, March fiscal year-ends, 1QFY16-2QFY17 (` mn)

Notes: (1) The bank has adjusted outstanding provisions which is ~10% of the opening loans resulting in a higher-than-expected reduction in the restructured loans portfolio

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities

Loan growth remains fairly strong at 17% yoy, retail loan growth at 25%

Loan growth for the bank remains fairly strong as both retail (25% yoy) and corporate (14%

yoy) growth rates remain better than overall industry. Share of retail loans which has been

growing over past few quarters now stands at 42%, up 80 bps qoq. Retail growth was

driven by unsecured loans (+50% yoy), housing loans including LAP (25% yoy) and auto

loan (41% yoy). Share of unsecured loans is low at 12% of retail book.

SME loan growth was better than last few quarters at 16% yoy. Corporate loan growth has

slowed down to 14% yoy from 22-25% yoy growth seen over previous eight quarters. This

could reflect reducing refinancing opportunities in the market which drive loan growth for

few private sector banks.

We maintain our key argument that the portfolios of the large three private banks are likely

to remain broadly similar over the next few years with the exception that HDFC Bank would

not have a large exposure in the housing portfolio and would be replacing it with a

marginally higher share of unsecured and auto loan portfolio.

We expect loan growth to remain above industry average, ~16-17% CAGR in FY2017-19E.

Management has guided for 18-20% loan growth in FY2017.

2QFY17 earnings print – fine on most counts

Headline consolidated financials. Consolidated revenues of ₹246.5 bn (+3.4% yoy) were

1.7% ahead of our estimates while consolidated EBITDA at ₹94.4 bn (+14.6% yoy) came in

4.6% ahead. The outperformance in EBITDA was driven by better-than-expected EBITDA

print across all business segments, especially India wireless and Africa. Recurring net income

of ₹13.7 bn (+79% yoy) was materially ahead of our estimate of ₹9.52 bn.

India wireless financials. India wireless revenues grew 7.9% yoy to ₹147.4 bn, 0.6%

ahead of our estimate; India wireless EBITDA growth of 19% yoy to ₹62.5 bn reflected sharp

control on costs, which grew only 1% yoy in absolute terms, driving a 390 bps yoy EBITDA

margin expansion. India wireless EBIT grew 8% yoy (after a few quarters of subdued growth

or decline) as the impact of higher spectrum amortization expenses starts to fade. Revenue

split – voice (70% of revenues) revenues saw a 3.6% qoq decline and grew 3.8% yoy while

data revenues (25% of total) grew a subdued 1.4% qoq and 24% yoy.

India wireless KPIs. Bharti delivered an impressive voice traffic growth of 11% yoy even as the

same came at the expense of voice RPM (down 3.2% qoq and 6.2% yoy to 32.4 paise/min;

still below Idea’s 33.1 paise/min for 2QFY17). Voice ARPU fell to an all-time-low

₹132/sub/month. Data performance was similar to Idea’s – strong 13% qoq and 55% yoy

volume growth (to 178 bn MB) coupled with a sharp 10% qoq and 20% yoy dip in

realization to 20.1 paise/MB; net result – a subdued 1.4% qoq growth in data revenues.

Board approval for monetization of stake in Bharti Infratel

Bharti has taken approval from its Board to explore monetization of a ‘significant’ stake in

Bharti Infratel. The Board has authorized a committee of Directors to evaluate potential options.

The company has not indicated what ‘significant stake’ means. We note that Bharti currently

owns 71.96% stake in Bharti Infratel (BHIN), which at BHIN’s current market cap, would be

worth ₹517 bn.

We shall revise our model post the earnings conference call.

Bharti Airtel (BHARTI) Telecom

2QFY17 ahead of estimates; takes Board approval for BHIN stake sale. For

whatever it is worth, and it may not be worth much given that full impact of Jio launch

would be felt from 3QFY17 onwards, Bharti reported a solid, ahead-of-expectations,

earnings print for 2QFY17 with 15% consolidated and 19% India wireless yoy EBITDA

growth. In a surprising development, the company’s Board has authorized a committee

of Directors to evaluate options for a significant stake sale in Bharti Infratel. We shall

update our earnings post the earnings conference call.

Other key highlights

India wireless EBITDA grew a strong 19% yoy as the company expanded margins by

390 bps yoy to 42.4% (flat qoq; healthy in a seasonally weak quarter), (2) South Asia

business reported positive EBITDA versus our expectation of a marginal loss, (3) Africa

EBITDA of ₹12.2 bn was 13% ahead of our estimate on the back of better-than-expected

margin delivery; revenues were marginally below our expectations, and (4) non-wireless

India businesses continued their strong momentum with home broadband (EBITDA up

28% yoy) and DTH (EBITDA up 29% yoy) doing particularly well.

We note that Idea’s yoy India wireless revenue growth was not materially different

(+7.2% yoy); the sharp delta in EBITDA growth (+19% for Bharti versus +2% for Idea)

reflects the timing difference in mobile broadband network rollouts between the two

companies in addition to Bharti’s improved cost execution in the past couple of years

(‘war on waste’ projects started under the new India CEO yielding results).

Data ARPU was stable at ₹200/sub/month. Active 3G/4G subs base at end-2Q stood at

41.3 mn, +4.7 mn qoq. The company rolled out around 10,500 3G/4G base stations to

take the total MBB base station count to 148,078; these sites are present at 110,382

distinct towers (69% of 2G site count of 158,934).

Consolidated capex for the quarter was ₹53 bn (₹46 bn India/SA, US$100 mn Africa)

taking 1HFY17 capex to ₹102 bn (₹88 bn India/SA, US$215 mn Africa) – broadly in line

with the company’s overall guidance for FY2017E, while recurring net income of ₹13.7

bn (+79% yoy) was materially ahead of our estimate of ₹9.52 bn.

Net debt at end-2QFY17 stood at ₹815 bn, down marginally from ₹835 bn at end-

1QFY17. Adjusted for October auction payouts, net debt would be around ₹958 bn, for a

net debt/ 2Q annualized EBITDA of 2.54X, fairly comfortable in our view.

Africa wireless performance, especially on the margin front, was a positive surprise. We

note that the company’s 2QFY17 Africa financials reflected divestment of operations in

two countries – Burkina Faso and Sierra Leone. Company’s disclosures suggest that these

two operations had TTM revenues and EBITDA of US$293 mn and US$115 mn,

respectively. Implied EBITDA margin of nearly 39% for the divested operations was

materially ahead of the overall margin of 21.5%, implying 20% TTM margins for the

continuing business. Versus this 20%, the company reported 23.1% for 2QFY17, an

impressive performance. We note that the company has shown good performance on the

margins front in Africa in the past four quarters; however, revenue growth still remains

subdued.

Thoughts on Bharti Infratel stake sale announcement. We are surprised with this

announcement and can only guess the possible motive given that Bharti does have any

pressing need to raise cash; we suspect the motive could be one or more of the following

– (1) sending a comfort signal to the rating agencies to ensure that debt ratings do not

fall post the increase in leverage after the company spent another US$2.1 bn in the

recent auction, or (2) sending a soft signal to RIL that Bharti has enough options to load

up on ammunition to fight a ‘battle of capital’ even if RIL makes it a stretched one.

Key changes to our earnings model

We have cut our service revenue estimates marginally to bake in lower growth in

rental/tenant/month for Indus; however, this gets offset by higher energy revenues driving a

0.8-1.6% increase in overall revenue forecasts for FY2017-19E. We have also increased our

EBITDA estimates slightly (0.3-1.2% over FY2017-19E) to reflect higher energy margins.

We have also increased capex assumption for FY2017 by about 3% to reflect higher-than-

expected capex in 2QFY17; this now stands revised to ₹19.5 bn.

Takeaways from the earnings call

The management highlighted the following during its 2QFY17 earnings call—(1) site rollouts

related to spectrum investments made by operators in the Oct 2016 auctions are expected to

accelerate the pace of tenancy addition in the second half of FY2017, (2) Bharti Infratel has

been awarded a Letter of Award for the Bhopal Smart City project, the company would need to

make investments over the next 12 months in towers, wifi hotspots, etc. after which it will look

at monetizing the investment, overall impact is expected to be minimal, (3) BHIN does not

expect entry/expansion by well-funded competitors to create a material impact as the company

has a geographically well-rounded portfolio of towers, high tenancy ratio (thereby lowering the

rentals for operators) and strong anchor relationships, and (4) on inorganic opportunities such

as GTL Infrastructure, the company said that they are currently not engaging with any player,

however, they would be open to looking at attractive opportunities.

Target price stands revised to ₹410/share on rollover to Sep 2018E, retain ADD

We believe that BHIN continues to offer good value at the current levels given its stable revenue

profile, improving margin (and hence return) profile and growth (in terms of tenancies, loading,

etc.) potential. The company currently trades at 10X Sep 2018E EBITDA, which we believe is

reasonably attractive. We have revised our target price to ₹410/share, primarily driven by

rollover to Sep 2018E; retain our positive stance.

Bharti Infratel (BHIN) Telecom

Remains a good compounding bet. BHIN delivered a good 2QFY17 posting robust

EBITDA growth, even though tenancy additions were weak. We believe that the current

market price provides a fair entry point for investors looking at investing in the stock from

a long-term perspective. We have broadly retained our estimates (1-2% changes in key

headline financials); however, our target price stands revised at ₹410/share, up from

₹400/share on rollover to Sep 2018E. We continue to like the franchise, retain ADD.

Open-offer speculation post Bharti’s announcement that it will consider selling significant

stake in BHIN could lead to the stock trading above fair value in the short term.

2QFY17: Share gains in container, SEIS income and sub-5% interest drive PAT outperformance

ADSEZ reported an in-line overall volumes of 43 mn tons, up 17% yoy and much ahead of 6%

growth for all-India ports. The large 15% revenue outperformance was primarily on account of

(1) one-off income from CT-4 and (2) income from Services Exports from India scheme (SEIS),

which would sustain incrementally as well. The latter, coupled with higher share of high-margin

assets (Dhamra) and cargo classes (container) propped up port-level EBITDA margin to 69% and

to 71% on an adjusted basis, ahead of our estimate. Interest cost contracted qoq and remained

below 5%, down 290 bps yoy and versus our estimate of 7%. All this led to a PAT of ₹10.9 bn,

up 61% yoy. Ind-AS adjustments had limited impact on financials.

On target to meet the higher end of volume growth guidance and of reduction in related L&A

Over 1HFY17, the company has grown its volume by 12%. The same has been driven by new

line additions in container segment and uptick in other cargo classes (coastal shipping of coal,

coking coal, rock phosphate, etc.). Recent commissioning of CT-4 and berth 3 at Dhamra as

well as impending commissioning of Ennore terminal berth 4 at Dhamra (by 4QFY17) bode well

for ADSEZ reaching/crossing the higher end of its 10-15% volume growth guidance. What also

enthuses is the decline in related party L&A and related ₹10 bn decline in net debt levels over

1HFY17. With this aim met, the company reaffirmed its guidance of reducing related-party L&A

(total ~₹25 bn) by end-March-2017.

Strategy: Long-term aim set high and wide

ADSEZ has set high aims for all its three key businesses. It aims to grow its port operations by

growing its container portfolio (aims to become #1 by volumes in FY2017) and adding new

cargo classes (container and fertilizers on the east coast, LPG at Mundra). For its SEZ business,

it cited renewed interest of private sector to leverage the Make in India and coastal shipping

themes; continues to add new clients. It also has big plans for its logistics business, as it builds

up its assets base (rakes, ICD); 2QFY17 terminal volumes of ~80,000 TEUs establish it as the

largest private-sector rail operator. We revise our estimates by 10-16% for FY17-19E on higher

volume and margin and lower interest cost estimates (Exhibit 9). Our one-year forward SoTP

based target price increases to ₹315 (earlier ₹255) led by higher estimates, roll-forward to Sep

2018E and lower cost of capital (to account for lower interest cost and risk-free rate).

Adani Ports and SEZ (ADSEZ) Infrastructure

Stellar quarter. 2QFY17 strong results reflect Adani Port’s ability to outperform in a

weak market while improving its margin profile; sub-5% interest cost further propped

up PAT. Based on 1HFY17 results, it is on track to meet its annual guidance of 10-15%

volume growth and ~₹25 bn reduction in related-party L&A. With a good portfolio of

assets across key businesses (containers, liquid, SEZ, logistics), it is well-placed to

establish leadership position in each and accelerate growth as market revives.

Strong results led by ramp-up at newer ports, containers and non-coal bulk

Strong growth in volumes, as expected. Adani Ports reported a strong 17% yoy

growth in volumes in 2QFY17 driven by the new ports while Mundra port volumes grew

4% yoy. Among the various cargo classes, container segment stood out with a 30% yoy

increase with new service additions happening at key ports (Mundra, Kattuppali and

Hazira). Overall volumes of 43 mn tons in 2QFY16 were in line with our estimate.

The same is much ahead of the 6% growth in volumes for all Indian ports, as per the

company (4% volume growth in major ports).

CT-4 related income boosts beat on revenues. The company reported revenues of ₹22

bn, up 21% yoy. The revenues include ₹1.9 bn income from project advisory services for

CT-4. On an adjusted basis, the revenues at ₹19.9 bn were up 10% yoy and 5% ahead

of our estimates.

Adjusted port-level EBITDA margin of 71% in 2QFY17. EBITDA for the quarter stood

at ₹14.5 bn, up 23% yoy, again propped up by project advisory income. Assuming an

80% margin booked on such income would imply a port-level EBITDA margin of ~65%

versus our estimate of 63.5%. Higher share of container cargo (36% in 2QFY17 versus

32% in FY2016) is supporting the improving margin profile. Port-level EBITDA calculated

as per the company’s preferred methodology has breached the 70% mark in 2QFY16

(71%, up 400 bps yoy). It excludes the low-margin logistics business and also adjusts for

the ₹640 mn expense charged off a the Kattupalli port.

Low interest expense further boosts PAT; up 61% yoy. Interest expense continues to

be low at ₹2.4 bn, further declining 11% qoq and down 32% yoy. On an annualized

basis it would amount to ~4.6% interest cost (versus ~5.5% in FY2016). Higher

realizations, lower interest cost and CT-4 related income led to a PAT of ₹10.9 bn, much

ahead of our estimate of ₹7 bn and up 61% yoy.

Non-operational L&A and net debt decline by over ₹10 bn in 1HFY17. Net debt has

declined by ₹13 bn in 1HFY17 in spite of ₹12 bn of capex incurred reflecting the benefits

of reduction in non-operational L&A. Adani Ports has thus met its target to reduce its

non-operational L&A by ₹10 bn by end-Sep-2016. It aims to reduce the entire portion by

end-March 2017. Based on our understanding, there were ~₹40 bn of non-operational

L&A as of end-March 2016. Such inflow of cash is more than sufficient to take care of

the capex spending for FY2017.

On track to meet higher end of volume-growth guidance. Overall, volumes have

grown 12% yoy in 1HFY17 and the company is on track to reach the higher end of its

10-15% volume growth guidance of 10-15%. We note commissioning of new terminals

(CT-4 - operational, Ennore – to become operational in 4QFY17), bottoming out of coal

volumes and impact of company’s effort to diversify cargo mix (iron-ore exports started

from Dhamra port). Container volumes have increased 30% yoy in 2QFY17 and 28% yoy

in 1HFY17.

Large CT-4 related income booked in the quarter. The operating income includes

~₹1.9 bn of revenues from project advisory services rendered for CT-4. The company has

completed the development of the terminal and is close to transferring the assets to the

JV entity (Adani CMA Mundra Terminal Private Limited). The transfer is pending

government clearances and related cargo income is presently getting booked as part of

the company’s income from operations.

Ind-AS adjustments had limited impact on reported financials for the quarter.

2QFY17 earnings call takeaways

Strong volume growth led by a bouquet of ports and cargo types. The company

mentioned that the strong volume growth witnessed in 2QFY17 and 1HFY17 had a

broad-based contribution from several ports and various cargo classes. The growth was

notably led by the smaller ports, viz. Dahej (up 30% yoy), Hazira (up 36% yoy) and

Dhamra (up 37% yoy). The growth at Dahej came from the diversified volumes such as

handling of rock phosphate and steel, Hazira port volumes were led by liquid and

containers while Dhamra was led by iron ore exports and coal (coastal shipping) volumes.

Port EBITDA margin improvement to be sustainable. The company reported adjusted

port EBITDA margin of 71% in 2QFY17, up 400 bps yoy aided by margin improvement at

Dhamra as well as ₹650 mn of service export incentive income. Going forward, the

company expects this income to be recurring on quarterly basis. It thus mentioned that

the EBITDA margin improvement would be sustainable. The project service revenue income

of ₹1.9 bn booked in the quarter for CT-4 does not form a part of the port EBITDA. This

income is non-recurring in nature and is pooled with the SEZ income while reporting.

SEZ income seen to improve significantly from here. The company has leased out

~3,000 acres of SEZ land by now. The company mentioned that due to the “Make in

India” program of the Indian government and the coastal shipping theme, the Mundra

SEZ is attracting a lot of interest from large clients given its proximity to Mundra port.

The company has firmed up leasing of 50 acres of land so far in 1HFY17. It expects the

recurring lease income to cross ₹1 bn by the end of FY2017 that will keep increasing over

the next 20-30 years of lease period.

Slowly getting the balance sheet on track. The company has a stated target of

recovering all the related-party L&A by the end of FY2017. The year started with related-

party L&A of ~₹25 bn. The company has succeeded in reducing it by ₹10 bn in 1HFY17

and is confident of eliminating the remaining ~₹15 bn of related-party L&A by end-

FY2017. Consequently, the gross debt has also reduced to ₹214 bn as of Sep-2016 from

₹228 bn as of Mar-2016. Similarly, the company will also retrieve the related-party

receivables by end-FY2017 as per the deferment schedule.

Capex plan going as planned, new commissioning seen by 4QFY17. The company

had guided for a capex of ₹25-30 bn in FY2017 out of which it has incurred a capex of

₹12 bn in 1HFY17 (Vizhinjam – ₹2 bn, Dhamra – ₹4 bn, Hazira – ₹3 bn and Ennore – ₹1

bn). The company has maintained the capex guidance and expects to spend ₹12-15 bn in

2HFY17. The company plans to commission Ennore port by 4QFY17. It is also building the

berth 4 at Dhamra port as a multi-purpose (fertilizer, steel and container) berth to test the

market demand before creating dedicated facilities. Dhamra and Dahej ports are

expected to start handling fertilizer cargo from 4QFY17.

Medium-term strategy to focus on expanding geographies and cargo classes. The

company mentioned that the three C’s, namely Containers, Crude and Coal currently

form the mainstay of the firm’s earnings. However, in the medium term, the company is

planning expansion across newer cargo classes, services and geographies. The key

initiatives mentioned by the company include:

Focus on container cargo as it remains a high growth area.

The new multipurpose berth (berth 4) at Dhamra will help test the market for demand

before creating dedicated facilities to cater to the specific cargo. But the company

expects to gain market share from Haldia on the eastern coast by handling container

volumes at Dhamra. Another growth area is the coastal shipping of thermal coal from

Dhamra to Southern India, which has seen 20%+ yoy growth in the recent quarters. It

has not added new services in this segment citing lack of capacities and thus the same

is an opportunity once berth 4 gets commissioned.

The company also intends to add liquid handling terminals at Kattupalli (if the

transaction is completed), Dhamra and Vizhinjam.

It has started construction of LPG terminal at Mundra and expects to complete it by

June-2018 that will also open additional opportunities / target clients for Mundra SEZ.

It is also contemplating transshipment of LPG from Dhamra to Bangladesh among the

further expansion plans.

Other takeaways.

The company recently submitted a bid to develop a greenfield port at Bhavanapadu in

Andhra Pradesh. The final outcome remains to be seen as the company was the sole

bidder for the project. But apart from this port, the management remains open to

consider additional greenfield opportunities or acquisition based purely on commercial

considerations.

The company mentioned that it has addressed the key concerns of rating agencies

(especially regarding coal volumes) and expects to receive a stable outlook going

forward.

Good on revenues, poor on margins

Dr Reddy’s 2QFY17 numbers were a mixed bag with revenues beating our estimates by 11%,

though EBITDA margins disappointed by 100bps. US business grew by US$12 mn qoq (KIE:

US$10 mn growth), with the revenue boost largely driven by other geographies. Gross margin

missed our estimates by 120bps, which, along with 20% higher R&D costs, meant that EBITDA

beat was restricted to 4%, with margins down to 16.6%, while PAT beat our estimates by

~5%. We do note that the quarter reflects a one-off provision of ₹344 mn related to the NPPA

drug overpricing case, which offset some of the benefits of lower remediation costs in the

quarter.

Expect US business to remain under pressure in 2HFY17

As per the management, the US business has not seen any meaningful price erosion in 2QFY17,

with new launches leading to a US$12 mn qoq jump. While Vidaza has seen some price

erosion, DRRD has maintained its market share so far. We note that Shilpa Medicare’s partner

Wockhardt, has now launched azacitidine, making it the fifth player in the market now, with

our analysis indicating at least three more pending ANDAs for Vidaza. On similar lines, we are

also cautious on decitabine with our checks suggesting that at least five filers are awaiting

approval with Sandoz expected to re-enter in FY2018. We do note that while DRRD had earlier

guided for higher launches in 2HFY17 versus 1HFY17, some of the recent launches were in-

licensed ANDAs where products are already competitive and hardly sufficient to move the base.

In the past, the management guided for back-ended recovery in approval run-rate though we

see risk of delays, particularly for Aloxi (3QFY17 litigation outcome), propofol, Gleevec and

Exelon (all likely in FY2018). However, Nuvaring and Vytorin (Teva portfolio) will help support

earnings in FY2018. We also see a high likelihood of Copaxone launch slipping to FY2019.

Hopes high on FDA re-inspection, but the absence of a pipeline is more worrying - SELL

Despite the 2QFY17 beat, DRRD faces a tough task in meeting our FY2017 estimates, with

2HFY17 requiring a 100% qoq jump in EPS, which we believe is a tall order, even after

factoring in an improvement in the approval run-rate and back-ended recovery. The market was

recently excited with Health Canada’s approval of the Srikakulam facility, but we note that it

does not signal an imminent FDA re-inspection. We tweak our FY2017/19 EPS marginally (-2 to

+2%). DRRD is still trading at 26X and 21X FY2018/19 EPS. SELL.

Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRRD) Pharmaceuticals

Marginal boost, though thesis intact. DRRD’s 2QFY17 results were ahead of our

estimates with revenues up 10% over our expectations (all ex-US), though gross and

EBITDA margins disappointed by 100-120bps. Management commentary on US

operations remains optimistic, but we see risks of delays to many new launches. We

also expect deterioration in competitive dynamics for existing products with continuing

disproportionate impact on profitability. SELL.

Other updates from the call

R&D spend: R&D spend in this quarter was higher in absolute terms due to further

development activities in Xenoport/Eisai products as well as ANDA acquired from TEVA.

DRRD is guiding for US$25mn additional R&D in FY2017 for these two products.

Proprietary products: DRRD has witnessed gradual increase in volumes for the two

products launched. For Zembrace, the number of prescribers has doubled yoy (June-Sept),

and grew at 22% mom. Prescriptions per months have reached 1,000. For Sernivo,

prescriptions and prescribers have crossed 2000 mark of which 40% repeat customers.

Sernivo is witnessing 50% mom growth and the management expects higher volumes in

3Q due to seasonality impact. The management acknowledged that it has taken them

more than expected time to gain a foothold, though the company still expects peak sales

of US$50 mn from each of the products.

On the biosimilar front, DRRD is progressing as per management expectations in

emerging markets. The company will participate in Russia tenders in 3Q and hopes to

launch Reditux if it is successful in tender allocations.

2QFY17— steady operating performance

Zee reported 15.7% yoy growth in ad revenues powered by (1) industry growth (12-13%), (2)

India West Indies cricket (1-2%), and (3) market share gains in regional genres adjusted for

weakness of Zee TV (1-2%). Domestic subscription revenues grew 25% aided by some catch-up

pertaining to 1Q. EBITDA margin improved 290 bps yoy to 28.9%; EBITDA grew 36% yoy

partly led by broad-based improvement in profitability including sports and moderation in losses

of &TV. Net profit excluding impact of RPS at `3.3 bn (+32% yoy) was marginally below our

estimate due to higher depreciation. Sports business reported operating loss of `168 mn as

against our estimate of break-even.

Brace for some softness in advertising and subscription against steep expectations

FMCG ad spends (50% of TV ad revenues) have not picked up this festive season to the extent

expected despite good monsoon given weak rural consumption. This will put pressure on TV

industry’s ad growth; we expect it to be 13-14% in FY2017E (12-13%/13-15% in 1H/2H) as

against 18% in FY2016. Acceleration in FY2018E is contingent on pick-up in FMCG volumes

(rural consumption). We believe Zee is well-placed to maintain its 2-4% growth outperformance

over industry: (1) market-share gain story (esp. in regional genres) has more legs and is led by

Zee Tamil, and (2) weakness in ratings of Zee TV could drag ad growth in 3Q but we expect

recovery starting 4Q led by increase in programming to 30 from 25 hours/week.

Broadcaster’s domestic subscription revenue growth faces headwinds from (1) delays in phase

III-IV digitization, and (2) implementation of TRAI’s tariff structure as per draft order. We cut our

forecast of 19% domestic subscription revenue growth for Zee in FY2018 to 15% as we factor

point 1. We will closely watch developments on regulatory front.

Zee’s outperformance versus industry and comfort on profitability stays

Zee’s outstanding performance over the past three years was driven by industry tailwinds and its

outperformance led by market share gain in regional genres and improving profitability. Even as

industry tailwinds may be absent in the near-term, we expect Zee’s outperformance versus

industry to continue. This, along with comfort on profitability and capital allocation deserve

premium valuations. We value Zee at 28X Sep 2018E EPS (ex-RPS impact).

Zee Entertainment Enterprises (Z) Media

Steady ship. Zee reported 16%, 36% and 32% yoy growth in ad revenues, EBITDA

and adjusted net profit. The near-term outlook for TV industry is a tad weak given

FMCG-led softness in ad spends, delays in phase III-IV digitization and uncertainty

around TRAI’s draft tariff order. Regardless, Zee is charting its path to long term growth

outperformance by augmenting content capabilities, enhancing regional footprint and

expanding in new verticals and markets and more importantly executing with solid

profitability and capital allocation. We trim FY2018-19E EPS by 4% as we cut domestic

subscription revenue forecast. Roll-over to Sep-16 and maintain TP. BUY.

2QFY17 results—

Robust ad revenue growth in a soft environment. Zee reported 16% yoy (KIE 15%)

growth in ad revenues. Break-up as per our estimate: (1) industry growth (12-13%), (2)

India West Indies cricket (1-2%), and (3) market share gains in regional genres adjusted

for weakness of Zee TV (1-2%). We estimate non-sports ad revenue growth at about

14%.

Domestic subscription revenue growth aided by catch-up revenues. Domestic

subscription revenues grew 25% yoy, way ahead of our expectation of 16% largely on

account of catch-up revenues pertaining to 1Q. The management indicated that domestic

subscription revenues would be balanced across 1H and 2H as against back-ended in

previous years. Zee is on track to achieve about 15% growth in domestic subscription

revenues in FY2017E in line with guidance of mid-teen growth.

Overseas subscription revenues grew 4% yoy (KIE 7%)

EBITDA increased 36% yoy to `4.9 bn (KIE `4.8 bn). EBITDA margin increased 290 bps

yoy to 28.9% (KIE 29.4%) and non-sports operating margin stood at 31.9% (KIE 33.7%).

Programming and other direct costs increased 17% qoq, significantly ahead of our

estimates partly due to higher than expected syndication and sports costs. Whereas, other

expenses were 21% below our estimate and declined 12% sequentially partly due to

decline in carriage fees

Sports business. Sports business reported operating loss of `168 mn as against our

estimate of break-even.

International ad revenues grew 8% yoy to `792 mn.

Other sales were boosted by success of Hindi movie Rustom (co-produced by Zee) and

sports syndication sales.

Net profit (excluding RPS impact) at `3.3bn grew 32% yoy but was 4% short of our

estimate due to higher depreciation (up 24% qoq and 70% yoy to `336 mn). Note that

depreciation increase pertains to new facilities including studios and acquisition.

Note that, under Ind-AS, change in PV of redeemable preference shares (RPS) is charged to

P&L (referred as Fair value through P&L) and dividend tax on the same is included in finance

costs. 2QFY16 and 1QFY17 financials in exhibit 1 have been restated for like-to-like

comparison. We modeled RPS impact of `363 mn, in-line with RPS dividend

Key highlights from results and conference call

TRAI tariff order. Zee management and broadcasting industry has engaged with TRAI to

discuss concerns and implementation challenges. The management indicated that it has

option to contest the tariff framework in case of any material adverse impact. That said, it

is presently working with TRAI to address certain issues and possibly push back timelines

in view of implementation challenges.

Ad revenue growth. Zee management hinted at some softness in advertising led by

weak ad spends growth in FMCG and ecommerce categories. We note that Zee’s non-

sports ad revenue growth (organic) has already moderated to 14% in the September

quarter from 17-18% in the June quarter. The management mentioned that growth

would moderate in the coming quarters as compared to high growth in past without

categorically stating whether it would decelerate further. Our industry interactions and

check suggest that TV industry’s ad revenue growth would pick up 1-2% in the

December quarter (versus September quarter) but is tracking below initial expectations of

strong accelerations. Accordingly, we expect modest acceleration in Zee’s ad revenue

growth in 2H from 2Q level.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 53

Hindi GEC ratings. Zee management attributed weakness in Zee TV’s ratings to poor

performance of recently launched programs which was partly impacted due to leadership

change. The management expects ratings to improve in the March as it plans to take

back original programming to 30 hours/week by FY2017-end from 25 at present.

Likewise, the management expects &TV’s original programming to touch 24 hours/week

from 21 at present.

New channel launches. Zee has launched three new channels in domestic market - Zee

Anmol Cinema, a Hindi movie channel for FTA audience; Zee Yuva, a youth focused

Marathi GEC and Zee Cinemalu, a movie channel in Telugu language.

(a) Change in accounting of IWPL (a JV) to equity accounting from line by line consolidation. It has led to small changes in revenues and costs.

(b) Change in PV of RPS has been charged to P&L (referred as Fair value through P&L) and associated div idend tax is included in finance costs.

Key changes to our earnings model

We have cut our revenue estimates by 0.4-2% over FY2017-19E as we build in continued

pressure on the realizations front on both voice and data, which more than offsets higher

volumes on both fronts. On the EBITDA front, we have built in slight contraction in margins for

FY2017E due to negative operating leverage, FY2018E and FY2019E margins have been largely

retained. These cuts together with increasing amortization and interest (driven by spectrum

purchases in the Oct 2016 auctions) lead to sharper cuts in EPS forecasts. On the capex front,

we have increased the total outlay for FY2017E in line with the management’s revised

guidance.

Read-through from Bharti’s results

Directionally speaking, Bharti reported similar trends (from a topline perspective) as Idea.

Bharti’s data volumes growth came in at 13% on a qoq basis similar to Idea’s 15%, data

realizations for both fell by close to 10%. From a ‘wireless revenue’ perspective both delivered

close to 2% decline qoq and about 7-8% growth yoy. It is clear that both operators focused on

a volume-led strategy (perhaps a tactical response to the R-Jio threat) in 2QFY17 and we expect

the same to continue going forward as well.

However, the major difference between the two was Bharti maintaining its EBITDA margins qoq

at 42.4%, while Idea’s margins declined close to 200 bps qoq. While it is difficult to assess the

exact reason (Bharti does not provide detailed cost break-up for its wireless operations), Idea’s

higher network operating costs (driven by increasing 2G and 3G/4G site rollouts) and lower

scale are perhaps the main drivers for its relative underperformance. We believe pressure on

Idea’s margins would continue in the near future.

Overall view: brace for challenges ahead

The next few quarters are going to be a challenge for the incumbents as the full impact of R-Jio’s

launch starts weighing in on operators’ financials. However, we believe that the company’s

renewed focus on volumes and subscriber acquisition will hold it in good stead. Moreover, we

believe that the company’s current stock level more than prices in these risks. Our target price

stands revised at ₹100/share (post change in estimates) from ₹105/share earlier, BUY stays. We

value the standalone business at 7X Sep 2018E EBITDA and our Indus stake value is DCF-based.

IDEA (IDEA) Telecom

Tough prognosis, tougher to value; we remain believers. Idea delivered a decent

quarter in a challenging environment; these challenges are likely to amplify in the near

term. We believe that the company is focusing on the right things now and should be

able to hold fort. Moreover, we believe that current valuations amply price in risks. Our

target price stands revised to ₹100/share (₹105 earlier) on cuts in estimates. We remain

positive on the stock; reiterate BUY.

Key takeaways from the earnings call

Minutes growth trajectory. In Jan 2016, the company experimented with increasing

effective voice rates (cut down in promotions) in order to bring much-needed discipline

with respect to pricing, however, other operators did not follow suit as a result of which

the company lost subscribers/failed to acquire subscribers, which has resulted in its yoy

volume growth taking a hit. Idea’s focus going forward would be a volume-led strategy

and the company has set a target of increase its subscriber base by 20-25 mn subscribers

on an annual basis as compared to 15 mn subscribers added over the trailing 12 months.

The company said that they are fairly confident of achieving this target and hence expect

minutes growth to improve to double digits (yoy basis) going forward.

Data growth versus investments. Idea (like other operators) has been rolling out mobile

broadband sites very aggressively; this has led to coverage expanding substantially.

However, asset utilization is currently extremely low, with pricing pressure to boot.

Currently, 4G average realizations are much lower than the average data realization (due

to more freebies), 2G is the highest and 3G is in between 2G and 4G. With respect to

competition from R-Jio, the management said that their primary focus is ring fencing their

existing customer base.

Capex guidance. The company’s initial capex guidance of ₹65-70 bn for FY2017 was

calculated with a target of deploying 103,000 MBB sites. However, post the auctions the

company re-assessed its site requirements (from a two-three year perspective) and now

plans to deploy 2G data sites on 85% of all 2G sites, 3G on 80% of all 2G sites and 4G

sites on 50% of all 2G sites which results in an approximate deployment of 200,000 sites.

Of the incremental 97,000 sites the company plans to deploy about 10,000 sites in

FY2017 itself resulting in an additional capex outlay of ₹10 bn over their initial guidance

leading to a revised guidance of ₹75-80 bn. Moreover, over the next two years the

company plans to deploy another 87,000 sites at an approximate outlay of ₹130 bn.

POI fine recommended by TRAI. The management categorically stated that Idea is not

violating any regulations, they have sought out a legal opinion and there is no case of any

violation. Having said that, the company also stated that POI has to be given to all

operators, and the company has gone out of the way to break the current practice for R-

Jio by increasing their POI by 20X, and an additional 2,000 POIs are in execution stage.

However, the management did mention that R-Jio’s voice tariffs are below the agreed

predatory tariffs (i.e. below IUC cost).

Spectrum payments and capitalization. Idea has paid close to ₹64 bn as upfront

payment for spectrum bid by the company in the Oct-16 auctions; the rest will be paid

over ten years after a moratorium of two years. On the impact on P&L from the acquired

spectrum, the company mentioned that the impact would be marginal in 2HFY17E as

most of the interest on the new spectrum would be capitalized.

Providence stake in Indus. The management stated that they are figuring out an

arrangement through which Providence can convert its indirect 4.85% stake in Indus

(through ABTL), into a direct stake.

Weak outlook

Shriram Transport Finance (STFC) has guided for 13-15% loan growth in FY2017E as compared

19% in 2QFY17 and 24% in 1QFY17.

CV sales have been weak for last few months likely due to the following: (1) weak demand for

tipper/ loaders in monsoon; this may likely pick up in 2H and (2) weak haulage demand; this

may pick up moderately, largely for transportation of agricultural commodities.

Our recent interactions with market sources indicated the following—(1) strong CV sales,

largely in the higher tonnage vehicles have added capacity in a significant manner and CV

operators are awaiting improvement in freight demand before adding new capacity, (2)

discount on CVs for bulk buyers/ large CV operators has increased in the last quarter, (3)

interestingly, lenders (banks and select NBFCs) have increased LTV in the large fleet operator

segment and (4) early delinquencies (1-2 months) have increased in select segment, mainly

more of tippers/ loaders.

Incrementally, STFC will focus on newer used CVs. Currently, about 5-7% of its portfolio

comprises CVs over 10 year, about 20-22% of CVs up to 5 years and the balance (70-75%) is

for CV between 5 and 10 years. Likely restrictions on older used CV have prompted the

company to shift to newer CVs. With competition from banks and NBFCs in the 5-7 year CV

segment, STFC’s NIM will likely remain under pressure.

Lower estimates and price target; management changes may weigh in

We are reducing our estimate for Shriram Transport Finance by 7-10% for FY2017-19E to

factor lower NIM (reflecting its shift to more competitive newer used CVs) and marginally lower

loan growth. Will signs of moderation in freight transport; we expect delinquencies to remain

high for a while though may come down as the portfolio shifts to newer used CVs.

Post our revision in estimates, we reduce our RGM-based price target to ₹1,250 (i.e. 2X book)

from ₹1,385, even as we roll over to September 2018. We expect the stock to remain range-

bound. A softening business outlook and recent management change may put pressure on

stock performance though lower valuations as compared to NBFC peers may provide some

support. Sharp movements in CV cycle remain a key sensitivity for the stock.

Shriram Transport (SHTF) NBFCs

In-line results, weak outlook. Shriram Transport Finance 2QFY17 results were broadly

in line with estimates. However, focus on newer used CVs and likely moderation in

freight demand will put pressure on near-term performance. We cut estimates, retain

ADD with price target of ₹1,250 (down from ₹1,385).

Earnings in line

STFC reported PAT of ₹3.87 bn, up 15% yoy and in line with estimates. Loan book up 19%

yoy (24% in 1QFY17), 2% below estimates. However, NIM (calculated) declined to 7.45%

from 7.54% in 1QFY17 and 7.72% in 2QFY16 due to higher reversals and shift to lower

yield loans. This translated to 13% growth in net operational income. GNPLs inched up to

6.4% from 6.2% qoq. Cost to income ratio decline to 23.4% from 24.8% in 1QFY17 and

25.1% in 2QFY16.

Frequent management changes is a concern

Umesh Revankar has been reinstated as the CEO of the company. He exited the company in

May 2016 to be replaced by Mr Gujral. However, he has now been reappointed as the CEO

of the company. The company/ promoters have not shared any reasons for the sharp move

and raises concerns on management instability.

Loan growth moderating

AUM growth moderated. STFC delivered 19% yoy and 1% qoq. Disbursement growth

was 12% yoy but lower than 15-31% yoy in last two quarters. Disbursements for the

quarter were ₹106 bn, up 12% yoy. Used CV disbursements (85% of total) were up 5%

yoy.

Sharp slowdown in new CVs. STFC had increased share of new CV loans to 11% in

1QFY17 from 8% in 1QFY16. With sharp slowdown in new CV (on the back of weak CV

sales), share of new CVs inched back to 10%. New CV disbursements declined by 48% yoy

and 60% qoq. One of the reasons for weak new CV sales would be lower infrastructure

activity during heavy monsoon (last year was a dry spell) and may pick up in 2H.

Future growth depends on increase in economic activity. We believe that pickup in

economic activity (typically construction activity picks up post monsoon) from 2H will

drive freight demand. According to market sources, in addition to loader and tippers,

demand of CV for haulage is weak as well. According to the management, monsoon is

also crucial for STFC as a large part of its transportation fright is related to agri-

commodities. However, increase in economic activity will be the key driver of higher

haulage demand and crucial for medium-term demand in the CV industry.

5-7% of loans for 10 year+ CV. STFC highlighted that about 5-7% of the loans are

financing vehicles over 10 years and about 75% finance vehicles that are 5-10 year old

segment. In case the government bans 10 year+ vehicles, management believes that the

activity in the 5-10 year segment will pick up and make up for the loss in the 10 year +

segment. We would however be watchful of NPLs from 10 year+ CVs, in such a scenario.

This will impact NIMs as well.

Forecast 15% AUM CAGR in FY2017-19E. We forecast 15% AUM growth in FY2017E.

We are reducing our forecast of AUM growth to 15% for STFC from 17-18% earlier

given the absence of medium-term growth drivers for CVs. Likely overcapacity in the

system due to strong sales, particularly of higher tonnage vehicles, in anticipation of

demand will likely put pressure on business. Sharper recovery in infrastructure spending

coupled with recovery in rural/agri demand can provide upside to our growth estimate.

NIM declines further

30 bps NIM decline qoq. STFC’s calculated NIM declined ~30 bps qoq and 50 bps yoy

to 7.21%. There are two factors, viz. (1) interest reversal (non-recognition of income) on

NPLs (GNPLs increase to 6.6% from 4.2% yoy; strictly not comparable due to merger of

equipment finance business in 4QFY16) and (2) lower yields in new vehicles and relatively

newer used vehicles with lower vintage of around 6 years.

Loan mix shift will lead to lower yields. Incremental growth will likely be driven by

new vehicles and relatively newer used vehicles which will put pressure on the overall

yields. Vintage-wise yields are as follows: (1) new CV are around 14-14.5%, (2) used CVs

which are more than 6 years old have ~18-19% yields on average, (3) low vintage CVs of

around 4-6 years age have yields of ~16%. STFC expects to offset part of the decline by

growing the 3W segment where yields are higher than CVs.

Downward pressure on NIM. We expect NIM (calculated as NII/AUM) to decline 80 bps

over FY2016-19E from 7.7% (higher base due to CE finance merger) in FY2016 to 7.1%

in FY2017E and 6.9% in FY2019E. This is despite facing 80 bps reductions in cost of

borrowing as a consequence of (1) lower bank base rates and bond borrowing costs and

(2) increasing share of low-yield loan securitization. Yield on loans will likely moderate to

14-14.5% by FY2019 from 16.2% in FY2016 and 15% in FY2017E.

NPLs remain high

GNPLs rise to 6.6%; absolute addition low. STFC reported gross NPL of 6.6% on 150

dpd basis and 4.8% on 180 dpd; this compares to 4.2% (180 dpd) in 2QFY16 and 6.4%

in 1QFY17 (150 dpd). Rise in NPLs on absolute basis was lowest in last seven quarters at

₹1.16 bn.

Shifting loan book will reduce NPLs overtime. STFC’s shifting focus on newer used

CVs (discussed above) will overtime reduce its NPLs. It is too early to accurately build the

same in our forecasts.

We expect NPLs to rise to reflect NPL transition. We model about 150 bps rise in

GNPLs in FY2017E to reflect the transition to 120 dpd NPL norms (120-150 bps indicated

by the management). Further, in FY2018E, we build in rise of 200 bps to reflect transition

to 90 dpd NPLs. We are dropping coverage ratio by 10% for every bucket of transition.

Thus, we expect coverage to drop to 50% by FY2018E.

Early delinquencies rise, credit cost to decline moderately. According to market

sources, early (30-60 day) delinquencies have increased in 2QFY17 for the industry. This

may be due to low infrastructure activity and may reverse in 2HFY17. Our credit cost to

loans ratio declines to 2.0% in FY2019E from 3% in FY2017E, 2.5% from 3.1% in FY2016.

This factors-in the rise in NPLs offset by reduction in coverage ratio. We continue to build

in write-offs about 2-2.4% of loans (1.95% in FY2016). Higher recoveries from the

equipment finance business will provide an upside to our estimates. We also think with

more clarity on growth and credit quality coverage ratio could see a drop to 40-50%.

Cost-income ratio declines; but unlikely to persist

We forecast stable cost-income ratio of 26% as a result of operating leverage benefit due to

AUM growth. Higher share of large fleets and new CVs will marginally reduce this ratio.

Cost-income ratio declined ~150 bps qoq to 23.4% in 2QFY17. Operating costs grew 6%

yoy. Employee cost increased by 6% yoy while non-staff costs increased 7% yoy.

Strong growth was the only positive

Mahindra Finance (MMFS) reported 29% growth in disbursements translating into 14% growth

in loans under management to `439 bn from 11% in 1QFY17. With early signs of pick up in

festive season demand and a normal monsoon, loan growth will likely remain strong.

NPLs continue to trend up

MMFS’ performance was marred by high provisions, interest reversals and operational expenses.

GNPLs (on 120 dpd basis) increased to 11% from 10.7% qoq and 9.4% (135 days) yoy. On a

high base (provisions were up 50% in 2QFY16), provisions increased further 10% yoy. A sharp

compression in NIM due to high interest reversals led to 2% growth in NII despite moderate

loan growth. MMFS recently concluded operational restructuring (moving to a product structure

from a branch structure) which led to higher initial-period expenses. All the above led to 35%

decline in earnings.

Retain REDUCE with TP of `315

Estimates down 5-10%. Seasonal performance tends to be weak in 1H and picks up in 2H.

We hence do expect NPL to swing back over the next few quarters as normal monsoon plays

out. However, weak non-farm income may constrain the improvement; we cannot ignore

current deterioration in our forecasts. We are hence increasing our provision estimates for

FY2018E and FY2019E. We are also raising our operating expenses forecasts.

High earnings growth, medium-term RoE will be low. MMFS’s business is highly volatile both

seasonally and cyclically and among the most challenging to forecast among NBFCs under

coverage. Post the revision in earnings, we expect MMFS to deliver 11-15% near-term RoE

and 25% EPS CAGR during FY2018-19E, on a low base.

Retain REDUCE. We retain REDUCE rating with our RGM-based price target of `315 (2.3X

book) as we roll over to September 2018. We would await signs of improvement in non-

farm/ infrastructure activity in rural India to turn bullish even as normal monsoon leads to

better performance.

Mahindra & Mahindra Financial (MMFS) NBFCs

Another weak quarter. Mahindra Finance (MMFS) continued to report weak

performance (GNPLs at 11%) even as normal monsoon raises hope of a strong 2HFY17.

On the back of consistently weak performance which likely indicates the extent of

deterioration in rural India and no visibility of improvement in non-farm income, we do

not expect RoE to cross mid-teens in the medium-term. We cut estimates and retain

REDUCE with a price target of `315 (`320 earlier).

Normal monsoon in FY2017 is a positive

Exhibit 4 shows that MMFS’s GNPLs have strong linkages to monsoon. Its NPLs have

increased sharply in year of high deficit in monsoon. On the back of two consecutive years

of 13% deficit in monsoon, improvement in FY2017 (3% deficit) is positive and will likely

lead to decline in NPLs on a comparable basis and boost growth as well.

No other signs of income buoyancy in rural India

Monsoon may be normal in FY2017, but other factors like weak cash crop prices and

subdued infrastructure development activity are leading to low rural wage inflation. We do

take cognizance of the fact that the improvement in profitability can be sharp when the

cycle turns upwards (600 bps improvement in RoE) but this may be too early to expect at

this stage, until other factors driving rural incomes pick up

Management commentary of its business

MMFS has provided a positive outlook on its business. Typically, 2H, mostly 4Q, tends to be

strong. Festive sales, if an indication, were modestly strong last month. Farming activity in

most of its key states is much better yoy – (1) Soya production was normal with stable prices

in MP, (2) Maharashtra is better placed after the severe drought last year, (3) south India

(except the mining belt of Karnataka) reported improvement in collections, and (4) western

India (mostly Gujarat and Rajasthan) will likely remain stable. Monsoon was normal and will

lead to stronger farm income, but infrastructure activities in most states (except Andhra and

Telengana) are yet to pick up.

AUM growth picks up to 14%

Growth picked up in the quarter as the MMFS benefitted from the positive sentiments of a

normal monsoon. Disbursements for the quarter were ₹75 bn, up 29% yoy.

AUM growth at 14% (up from 11% in 1QFY17) was driven by refinance loans which grew

21% yoy, followed by cars which grew 12% yoy and CVs 24% on a low base.

Disbursement growth for the quarter was driven by tractors, cars and refinance.

We expect MMFS’s loan growth to move up to 17-18% over the next two years. We expect

normal monsoon to be supportive of growth expectation; pay commission-related payouts

will also boost car finance in semi-urban India. Our auto analyst expects tractor industry to

grow by 8-10% in FY2017E (declined in FY2016) and cars to grow by 10% in FY2017 (5%

in FY2016). As such, the share of tractors (declining over the last two years) will remain

steady.

Some medium-term growth drivers for MMFS are - (1) growth in car loans as OEMs (beyond

Maruti) expand their presence in rural markets, with introductions of new models also

helping to achieve higher growth; (2) opportunity in pre-owned vehicle loan arising from

MMFS’s existing customers who look to sell their older vehicles; (3) MMFS is also looking to

expand its network by 0.1 mn villages over the existing coverage of 0.4 mn villages.

Sharp decline in NIM, partly led by mix change

NIM declined sharply by 90 bps yoy to 8.1% in the quarter. The decline may be due to

higher NPLs (11% versus 9.4% in 2QFY16) and non-recognition of income thereon.

With incremental focus on cars and higher ticket MUVs, NIMs are trending down. One of

the reasons for lower margin has also been lower share of tractor loans over the past few

quarters which typically carry 400-500 bps higher interest rates.

Calculated cost of borrowings declined 10 bps qoq. The share of bank term loans grew

sharply as banks reduced benchmark lending rates. Borrowings from MFs were up 30% yoy;

the company will incrementally raise bonds.

We estimate NIM to inch up to 6.7-6.8% over FY2018-19E from 6.5% in FY2017. Better

collections will drive higher NIM though offset by transition to 90 dpd NPL norm.

NPL and provisions increase qoq

MMFS had poor quarter on asset quality as gross NPL (120 dpd) increased to 11% from

10.7% qoq. The company reported interest reversals of `1.5 bn. It has focused on recoveries

in the past 1-2 months mainly for NPLs that are provided over 50%; the stock of

repossessed vehicles increased to about 11,000 from 6,000 earlier. This exercise will drive

collections in 2H.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 77

We maintain our view that forecasting NPL and credit cost is challenging for the nature of

business MMFS is engaged in. We forecast 2.2% credit cost in FY2017E, lower than 3.0% in

FY2016 helped by better collections in 2H. We expect GNPL ratio to remain high at 8.0% in

FY2017E and expect write-offs of 1.55%, lower than FY2016 (1.8%). We believe MMFS’s

localized and deep presence in rural areas renders greater effectiveness in improving

collections as soon as customer cash flows start to improve.

Operating expenses high

MMFS has reported 27% growth in operating expenses on the back of (1) high costs of

collections/ recoveries, (2) legal charges. The company restructured its operations to follow a

product-driven structure from branch-driven structure; this has entailed recruitment of new

employees.

Performance of subsidiaries

High growth in rural housing finance

Strong business momentum. Mahindra Rural Housing Finance continues to deliver high

growth: ~50% yoy loan growth to `39 bn on the back of 38% growth in loan contracts.

Over the past three years, the company reported ~50% CAGR in its loan book, on a low

base.

Focusing on affordable housing. Mahindra Housing now proposes to diversify into

affordable in semi-urban India (i.e. tier 4/5 towns) with ticket size of `0.5-1.0 mn –

marginally lower than Dewan and REPCO. The company will initially work on synergies with

Mahindra Lifespaces. This segment will contribute to about 25% of its business over the

next few quarters; current focus is on low ticket (`1,00,000-1,50,000) rural housing, similar

to loans offered by the NBFC subsidiaries/ affiliates of some of the MFIs.

High RoEs. We see this business to be in a sweet spot where large opportunity size and its

small base provides tremendous opportunity for multi-year growth. The company is able to

charge high (about 17%) loan yields on the back of high cost of distribution to reach out in

rural India. Its RoE in FY2016 was 31% with RoA of 2.3%. Quarterly performance remains

fairly volatile.

Moderate performance of insurance distribution

Mahindra Insurance Brokers (MIBL) reported moderate results with PAT of ₹85 mn in

2QFY17, down 6% yoy due to high costs; net premium growth was very strong at 46% yoy,

which supported 22% yoy income growth.

MIBL operates as a composite broker, i.e. offers broking in both direct insurance and re-

insurance. Although MIBL operates across the retail and corporate segments in both life and

non-life, we believe major business is generated from credit term plan (life product covering

outstanding loan) and motor insurance. Our positive view on this business is more longer

term given the nascent stage of the insurance business itself in India. We see the reinsurance

segment as uniquely positioned to grow once there is an active re-insurance market in India.

MIBL has an aspirational goal of being in the top hundred insurance brokers in the world.

Earnings growth led by healthy growth in operating profits

FB reported a reasonably impressive quarter with most key metrics in the right direction.

Earnings grew 25% yoy on the back of ~20% NII and non-interest income growth of 44% yoy.

NIM was stable qoq, supported by improving CD ratio, while loan growth was impressive at

27% yoy. Cost-income ratio is showing an improving trend, reducing to 52%. High treasury

income boosted non-interest income, but core fee income grew ~20% yoy. Asset quality was

stable qoq with gross NPLs and restructured loans unchanged at 2.8% and 2.3% respectively.

Many positive takeaways

We like the bank’s performance in a few key areas. (1) Loan growth has picked up momentum

at ~25% yoy giving comfort on strong revenue growth for FY2017. Growth was a bit skewed

with corporate loan growth of 47% yoy, but retail (ex-gold) growth of 24% yoy and SME

growth of 17% yoy give comfort. We see strong growth in business both outside and within

Kerala. (2) NIM has been stable at 3.3% levels and low CD ratio provides comfort (3) gross NPLs

were flat and restructured loans declined qoq. The bank has not materially reduced provision

coverage ratio (4) there is good progress towards reducing cost-income ratio.

The two areas of concern are (1) current quarter’s performance benefitted from treasury gains

growth tailwinds and stable NIMs, but the main concern is the need for cost ratios to decline

from 2.1-2.2%. Visibility on improvement is an extremely slow process led by loan growth and

better productivity of employees (2) SME and retail slippages have been low this quarter but we

are yet to see the full impact of the slowdown in the Middle East.

Maintain BUY rating; good performance raises expectations of better times ahead

We maintain our positive view with TP of ₹95 (from ₹80), valuing the bank at 1.8X book and

14X FY2018E EPS for RoEs in the range of ~13% in the medium term and strong earnings

growth ~40% CAGR in FY2017-19E (off a low base). Federal Bank is taking the right steps by

moving the business model closer to that of new private sector banks, even though it is unlikely

to shed its old private sector bank image in the near-term. The bank needs to create a path

towards to 15%+ sustainable RoE over the medium- to- long-term to enable greater confidence

in higher multiples. The higher TP is on account of lower cost of equity.

Federal Bank (FB) Banks

Another good quarter. FB reported an impressive quarter with earnings growth of

25% yoy on the back of ~40% yoy growth in operating profits. Recent changes

effected by the management are shaping up well when we look at growth in loans and

revenues and commitment to reduce cost ratios. Stable asset quality offers strong

comfort. We see steady improvement in return ratios which makes it an attractive bank

to own at these levels. Maintain BUY with TP at ₹95 (from ₹80 earlier).

Strong loan growth driven by wholesale advances

Federal Bank reported very strong 27% yoy loan growth, driven by growth in wholesale

advances, which grew 47% yoy. Including credit substitutes, corporate loan growth was

stronger at 65% yoy. Retail advances (ex-gold) grew strongly by 24% yoy and 14% qoq on

account of the purchase of ₹15 bn loans in the mortgage category. Within retail, housing

loans grew 14% yoy; LAP growth was strong at 30% yoy while gold loan book continued to

decline at ~18% yoy.

Growth in wholesale banking is a result of the recent initiatives (talent hiring) by the bank to

grow the high-rated exposure – share of A and above-rated loans has increased to 72%

from 42% about one year ago.

We look forward to further progress on this initiative in coming quarters. We forecast ~19%

loan CAGR in FY2017-19E.

Impaired loans decline ~10 bps qoq to 5.1%

Asset quality movement was fairly positive with gross NPLs declining 10 bps qoq to 2.8%

and net NPLs at 1.6%. Even on an absolute basis qoq growth was low at ~5%. Restructured

loans remained stable qoq at 2.3%. Provision coverage was stable qoq at 43% and

including technical write off at 72%. Slippages are trending positively for past two quarters

with slippages of 1.3-1.4% compared to 2-4% range over the past few quarters.

Slippages in the retail and SME segments stable qoq. The management indicated that the

SME sector in Kerala, linked to sectors such as rubber, cashew and hospitality need to be

watched closely for weakness.

We expect GNPL to trend down to 2.4% by FY2019E. We expect 85 bps credit cost in

FY2017E that could decline to 65-60 bps in FY2018-19E.

CASA growth at 14% yoy; non-resident deposits grow 19% yoy

Federal Bank delivered CASA growth of 14% yoy with overall deposit growth of 17%. Term

deposit growth was 18%, which could be higher than required given the liquid nature of

the balance sheet (CD ratio of 75%). NRI deposit growth was very strong at 19% yoy.

There is marginal but addressable risk of high reliance on NR deposits

The share of NRI deposits is fairly high at 40% of total deposits. The bank has a higher share

of NR deposits which is a bit risky considering recent economic developments in the middle-

east which is the bank’s primary geography for these deposits.

With falling crude prices resulting in a slowdown in their respective economies, the risk of

unemployment for non-resident Indians is likely to increase. Growth in these deposits has

been strong this quarter, but we see this flow to be an expected outcome post which we

could see a slowdown. There are two risks that emerge from a slowdown in NR deposits: (1)

from the funding side, the bank has high reliance on these deposits. However, the impact is

felt a lot more on savings deposits than term deposits as the domestic term deposits and NR

term deposit rates are broadly similar at ~7.5%. On savings, the share of NR deposits is high

at 45%. (2) The secondary impact would be on loans taken where inherent cash flow is

dependent on NR incomes on various asset products. However, we are still not seeing a

massive slowdown in these economies and believe that the liability side of the balance sheet

can be addressed quite easily.

NIM stable qoq at 3.3%

Reported NIM improved to 3.3%, up 20 bps yoy and was stable qoq. Decline in cost of

deposits (5 bps qoq and 60 bps yoy) has helped absorb some pressure on the yield on loans

(50 bps yoy and stable qoq). The bank has aggressively grown the corporate loan book,

mainly to the A and above rated entities. Growth in SME and retail will provide comfort on

lending yields in future even as further decline in cost of deposits will be limited. Improving

CD ratio has provided support to the NIM due to better fund utilization. The management

targets to improve it to 80%.

The management expects steady state NIM of 3.2-3.25% for FY2017. We expect calculated

NIM to increase in FY2017E and decline by ~25 bps over next two years.

Cost-income ratio shows improvement

Cost-income ratio was 52% compared to 54% in the last quarter. Operating costs grew by

13% yoy with employee cost growth of 17% yoy, while non-staff costs grew 8% yoy on a

lower base.

We believe that this ratio can move back to 50% levels by the end of FY2017 as action has

been taken on both sides (costs and revenues). We expect moderation in operating expenses

growth. Expansion has slowed and we think that the focus is moving towards improving

productivity of existing branches. Staff costs which grew 22% yoy in FY2014 declined to

~16% yoy in FY2015 and 14% in FY2016. We see a strong tailwind on staff costs from now

as employees have largely been unchanged and the base reflects the one-time charges taken

for the previous wage settlement. On the other hand, we think revenue growth should

show better traction on the back of better loan growth and higher contribution from non-

interest income sources.

Other operational highlights for the quarter

Non-interest income increased 44% yoy, driven by 3X yoy growth in treasury gains. Core

fee growth was moderate at 11% yoy, but processing fee and exchange and commission

fee grew 20%. However, there was drag from forex income which declined 20% yoy.

Tier-1 stands comfortable at 12.2% as per Basel-3 norms, with overall capital adequacy at

12.9%. Bank has room to raise non-equity capital bonds before looking for an equity

capital raise.

Tiroda generation ramps up, though losses remain

Adani Power sold 15 BU in 2QFY17, an 8% qoq improvement owing to resumption of operations

at Tiroda (Maharashtra) that had curtailed generation in 1QFY17 owing to water scarcity in the

state of Maharashtra. Realizations at ₹3.5/kwh were down 4% qoq and below our estimate of

₹3.8/kwh. Reported losses of ₹1 bn include (1) compensatory tariffs of ₹5.1 bn, and (2) deferred

tax credit of ₹617 mn. Cash EBITDA of ₹13 bn would fall short of interest cost of ₹14.3 bn.

Imported coal prices have risen 46% since June 2016, will increase cash cost of generation

Prices of imported coal have spiked up in the past two months, after having remained subdued

for an extended period of time. We highlight that APL uses imported coal at Mundra (4.6 GW)

and Udupi (1.2 GW), which together account for 56% of its total portfolio. While Udupi

operates under the cost-plus regime and the rise in prices of imported coal will be passed on to

the beneficiary state, Mundra will have to bear the cost burden of higher imported coal.

Reported earnings at Mundra may not be impacted as the company will likely accrue a higher

compensatory tariff for under-recovery of coal, continued delay on the issue of compensatory

tariff may further impair cash earnings.

Maintain SELL with target price of ₹26/share

APL’s consolidated profit of ₹4.9 bn for FY2016 was aided by accruing compensatory tariff of

₹29.7 bn. A turnaround of fortunes is contingent on cash receipt of tariff although the

management is more confident post the APTEL ruling in April 2016. Maintain SELL with a target

price of ₹26/share. Our revised earnings factor compensatory tariffs across most plants as

accounted for by the management as well as takes into consideration the lower realizations and

interest cost as seen during the quarter. We now factor earnings of ₹2.3/share (₹2.8/share

previously) for FY2017E and ₹4.7/share (unchanged) for FY2018E.

Adani Power (ADANI) Utilities

Still struggling. Adani Power continues to report weak earnings, despite accruing

compensatory tariffs of ₹5 bn that are still contingent on the outcome of the hearing by

the regulator. Recovery of plant utilization at Tiroda and lower interest cost due to debt

refinancing are not enough positives, especially in the context of rising prices of imported

coal in recent times. Maintain SELL rating with target price of ₹26/share—our fair value

estimate assumes a favorable outcome on the issue of compensatory tariffs.

Another quarter of support from compensatory tariffs and loan refinancing

Revenues remain largely unchanged. Adani Power reported consolidated revenues of

₹58 bn, flat yoy but 5% below estimates. Consolidated net generation for the quarter

stood at 15 BU, flat yoy. Average realization for the quarter was ₹3.5/kwh. Plant-wise

gross generation in 2QFY17 stood as follows:

Mundra plant generated 7.9 BU, down 1% yoy (PLF 78%)

Tiroda plant generated 4.5 BU, down 6% yoy (PLF 62%)

Kawai plant generated 2.3 BU, up 25% yoy (PLF 80%)

Udupi plant (UPCL) generated 1.5 BU, down 8% yoy (PLF 55%)

EBITDA under pressure on account of higher coal prices. Consolidated EBITDA in

2QFY17 stood at ₹18 bn, up 1.3% yoy but down 5.5% qoq. Cost of fuel for the quarter

was down 1.7% yoy but up 11% qoq likely led by the recovery seen in the imported coal

prices from the start of CY2016. The company mentioned that with this recovery in coal

prices, the variable cost will increase in the next few quarters and consequently the

compensatory tariff will also go up.

Large losses of ₹6.2 bn without compensatory tariff. As seen in the past few

quarters, the company continued the practice of booking large compensatory income as

they remain confident of a favorable outcome in the ongoing regulatory proceedings. The

company booked compensatory tariff of ₹5.1 bn during the quarter that helped contain

the net loss to ₹1.1 bn. The net loss was also contained by a large reduction in interest

expense at ₹14 bn, down 13% yoy during the quarter. The reduction was achieved

through refinancing of the company’s loans through the 5/25 scheme and the average

interest cost currently stands at 10.5%.

Realization of compensatory tariffs holds the key. For the past several quarters, the

company has been banking upon the compensatory tariffs to reduce the reported

accounting losses. If the tariffs are approved, then apart from receiving the cash flows,

the company mentioned that it would also be able to work with the rating agencies and

replace bank debt with bonds for a further reduction in the effective interest cost.

Compensatory tariffs thus currently hold the key to the company’s future. In the

meanwhile, promoters have been supporting the firm through periodic equity infusions

(83 mn warrants converted to equity in this quarter that were issued to promoter group

entities in 1QFY17). Current external debt of Adani Power stands at ₹399 bn.

2QFY17 print – revenue growth disappoints; EBITDA/PAT growth healthy

JYL’s 2QFY17 performance was a tad disappointing largely dragged by weaker-than-expected

topline – revenues grew 6% yoy to ₹4.1 bn (4% below estimates), EBITDA grew 16% yoy to

₹638 mn (in line with estimates) and recurring PAT grew 27% yoy to ₹325 mn (4% below

estimates). Revenue growth was led by 8% volume growth; deflation in dishwash/fabric care

continues to drag value growth. EBITDA margin expanded 140 bps yoy led by 110 bps yoy

expansion in GMs (down 30 bps qoq) and lower investments in A&SP (up just 4% yoy; down 10

bps yoy). Recurring PAT growth was partly aided by 520 bps decline in ETR (high base).

Reported PAT growth was higher at 61% yoy due to lower ESOP-related charges (clubbed in EO

expenses). For 1HFY17, JYL reported revenue, EBITDA and recurring PAT growth of 7%, 17%

and 28% yoy respectively; EPS stood at ₹4.4/share.

Ujala, Maxo and Margo disappoint; dishwash and Henko continue to deliver

Overall power brands posted 5.8% yoy revenue growth aided by 7.2% yoy volume growth

(down from 9.6% volume growth in 1QFY17). Growth was mixed across segments - (1) brands

which disappointed include – Ujala (flat growth yoy, fabric whitener saw 5% yoy decline),

Margo (5% decline) and Maxo (posted 5% growth; disappointing given expectations of a

strong season for HI due to good monsoon – growth was dragged by 4% decline in coils (70%

of HI portfolio). Henko (11% yoy growth) and dishwash (12% yoy growth) performed well.

Profitability improved across segments barring HI and JFSL (laundry business) – (1) dishwash and

fabric care posted robust 30% and 25% yoy growth in EBIT aided by 170 bps and 325 bps yoy

expansion respectively, (2) personal care EBIT also grew sharply by 44% aided by 580 bps

expansion in margins and (3) HI and JFSL (laundry services) posted margin contraction yoy.

Henkel ‘call’ renders fundamentals irrelevant. Retain Not Rated rating

JYL is a tricky stock for a fundamental analyst at this point. Henkel call option (to buy up to

26% stake in JYL) has vested on April 1, 2016 and the stock price continues to value the

potential upside from a likely open offer in case Henkel exercises this option. We tried hard but

failed to figure out any fundamental basis of estimating this ‘value upside’. Retain our Not

Rated coverage view on the stock.

Jyothy Laboratories (JYL) Consumer Products

Mixed performance; revenue growth decelerates. JYL’s 2QFY17 print was a mixed

bag despite robust EBITDA/PAT growth (aided by margin expansion and lower ETR) as

revenue growth disappointed across several power brands (Ujala, Maxo and Margo).

Our EPS estimates remain broadly unchanged. Management indicated that a non-

disclosure agreement has been signed with Henkel with respect to the call option that

Henkel holds to buy up to 26% stake in JYL. Stock remains not rated.

Key brand-wise takeaways

Ujala – After a strong 1QFY17, Ujala brand growth was nearly flattish this quarter (up

5.4% yoy for 1HFY17) – (1) Ujala fabric whitener posted a 5% decline in revenues;

management remains confident of accelerating growth in 2H through its communication

targeting new users and has rolled out on-ground activation in select states., (2) Ujala

detergent growth also decelerated (flattish growth yoy this quarter, up 2.7% in 1HFY17)

and (3) Ujala Crisp & Shine continued to perform well registered 36.5% yoy growth (39%

yoy growth in core Kerala market); management highlighted that the brand has become

over 20%+ of Ujala fabric whitener in TN within 1 year of launch and it expects this to be

the next mega brand in JYL’s portfolio.

Henko – Henko continued to post modest growth in a challenging and highly

competitive laundry market – revenues were up 11.3% yoy for the quarter and 10.3%

for 1HFY17. Management highlighted that is now looking to increase its focus on the

bucket wash segment (larger part of laundry category).

Dishwash – (1) After a sluggish growth in 1QFY17, Exo bar growth accelerated to 17.7%

yoy (volume growth higher at 32%), (2) growth in Exo scrubber decelerated to ~1% yoy

from 17% yoy growth in 1QFY17 (was aided by relaunch of Exo Bactoscrub), (3) Pril

liquids posted another modest quarter with 11.5% yoy growth aided by market share

gains and stronger growth in small packs (225 ml and pouches; ~50% of the market).

Overall dishwash portfolio posted 12% yoy growth for the quarter aided by sustained

market share gains and strong innovations.

Maxo – After a weak 1QFY17, Maxo posted a modest recovery (albeit below our

estimates given a strong season for HI) delivering just 4.8% yoy growth in revenues aided

by market share gains in both LVs and coils. We note LVs posted strong growth of 19%

yoy for the quarter (aided by a favorable season due to good monsoons); however, coils

(~70% of HI business) dragged overall growth posting 4% decline for the quarter. Maxo

Magic card continued to grow strongly registering ₹22.8 mn revenue during the quarter

(up 2X+ both qoq and yoy); however, interestingly category growth (as per Nielsen data

shared by company) has flattened this quarter.

Margo – Margo’s performance remains volatile; after a robust 1QFY17 it posted sharp

deceleration in growth posted 5% revenue decline. Management highlighted that Margo

remains a core focus brand and it is planning to relaunch the core to significantly

modernize the brand and bring in new users.

Hexaware reported a strong quarter with c/c revenue growth of 4.8% qoq (KIE 3.2%) and 190

bps qoq expansion in EBITDA margin to 17.4%. Revenues growth was driven by top 5 accounts

(+13.7% qoq), largely onsite-centric and powered by North America, BFSI, travel and transport,

IMS, BPO and ADM. While we are impressed with strong revenue outperformance, we will keep

a close eye on increasing client concentration; revenues from top 5 clients increased to 47% of

revenues, up 390 bps qoq. EBITDA margin expanded 190 bps qoq to 17.4% (KIE 16.3%)

largely due to 400 bps improvement in utilization, lower visa and branding costs. Net profit at

₹1.1 bn (+12% qoq, flat yoy) was 9% above our estimate largely on account of EBITDA

outperformance. TCV from new clients was solid at US$42 mn.

Growth led by strategic focus areas

Hexaware has made sharp bets through alliances and partnerships with disruptive product

companies in niche areas and in BPO/IMS. These bets are consistent with being a full service

provider to mid-tier clients and niche provider to large clients. Benefits of these investments are

showing up—(1) IMS grew 11.2% qoq and 29.7% yoy and (2) BPO grew 9.6 qoq and 28.4%

yoy. Additionally, Hexaware’s investments in sales and marketing bring in the right leadership

profile and sharp go-to-market approach (through Shrink IT, Grow Digital positioning) is

showing in healthy build of TCV and order book. This shows in growth from large accounts and

buildup of TCVs from new clients (U$218 mn in seven quarters). We expect Hexaware to

comfortably outpace industry on revenue growth backed by stable profitability.

Announces a small buyback. Maintain positive view

Hexaware has announced buyback of 5.7 mn shares at a price of ₹240/share. This is in addition

to ₹1/ share of quarterly dividend. We expect free cash generation to increase materially in

CY2017 after a rather high capex of US$42-44 mn in CY2016. We broadly maintain

CY2017/18E revenues. EPS estimates decline marginally due to change in Re/USD assumption

and below-EBITDA line adjustments. We maintain ADD rating and value the stock at 14X Mar

2018E earnings. Our ascribed premium multiple captures strong growth prospects and efficient

capital allocation.

Hexaware Technologies (HEXW) Technology

Focus areas drive impressive outperformance. Hexaware impressed with strong

revenue growth and EBITDA margin expansion. More importantly, the growth was led

by focus areas of IMS and BPO. New order wins were impressive. Hexaware’s

differentiated focus on IMS and BPO, smart market and customer segmentation and

bets on niche areas in key verticals are yielding dividends. We expect the company to

report strong 14% growth in US$ revenues in CY2017/18E backed by margin expansion.

Maintain estimates; TP increases to ₹225 (from ₹215) on rollover to Mar 2018 earnings.

Key highlights from the earnings call

Management expects volume growth in 4QCY16. The company expects to get back to

healthy yoy revenue growth and net profit growth trajectory starting Dec 2016 quarter.

Hexaware expects new deal wins from new clients to stay/exceed CY2015 number of

US$120 mn.

Capex spend in 4QCY16 will be US$18-20 mn. This will complete large part of the

offshore capex program.

Management expects some SG&A leverage in CY2017. It expects G&A spend to grow

slower than revenue growth in the next year.

Portfolio of business in financial services is different from peers. The primary exposure of

the company is in capital markets and mortgages. Capital markets segment has stabilized

after some concerns at the beginning of the year.

Standalone business revenues, at ₹5.5 bn, were up 19% yoy, led by a 12% yoy growth in

domestic revenues and a strong jump in exports, as per our estimates. Standalone EBITDA

margins contracted 50 bps yoy, leading to EBITDA growing by 16% yoy to ₹1.1 bn. The

management took steep price correction in generic molecules (particularly of acephate) to align

with market prices, leading to a sharp 490 bps yoy contraction in gross margins. However,

savings in energy cost along with internal efficiencies reduced the impact at EBITDA level.

Seeds business reported a strong 59% yoy growth in revenues, although the growth came at

the expense of margins (down 969 bps yoy) as realizations dropped in the hybrid rice segment

due to poor demand. Consolidated PAT was up 28% yoy to ₹0.7 bn, led by a decline in

depreciation (down 14% yoy) and interest cost (down 60% yoy). 2QFY16 EBITDA was revised

down by 8% under Ind-AS, leading to Rallis’ standalone and consolidated EBITDA and PAT

falling short of our estimates, despite robust yoy growth.

Improved growth outlook in domestic and export markets

Improved performance of domestic ag-chem business and exports business segments is

heartening in our view, as slow growth in these segments had been a pain point for the

company in the past two years. Management expects to maintain growth, expecting healthy

growth in the upcoming rabbi season due to adequate monsoon progress, and improving

growth outlook in the exports markets, particularly in Brazil. The management launched two

products in the quarter, (including an exclusive insecticide) taking its tally of new product

launches to 11 in the past two years. Margins are expected to remain steady, as cost

rationalization in the ag-chem business will cushion fall in gross margins. Rallis’ encouraging

fundamentals keep us confident of its medium-term earnings growth trajectory (expect 27%

EPS CAGR in FY2016-19E).

Valuation: Reduce estimates slightly but increase TP to ₹250 (₹240 earlier), maintain ADD

We have aligned our estimates with 1HFY17 results and Ind-AS accounting, leading to ~4% cut

in our FY2017-19E EPS estimates. Maintain ADD with revised TP of ₹250 (₹240 earlier), on 18X

September 2018 EPS. Continued strength in exports revenues in 2HFY17 along with steady

margins should drive further upsides in the stock price in our view.

Rallis India (RALI) Others

Improving growth outlook. Rallis reported in-line yoy growth in its consolidated

EBITDA and PAT in 2QFY17, as both the domestic ag-chem and exports segments

benefitted from improved demand in key markets. Absolute financials were slightly

below estimates though, due to sharp downward revision in base numbers under Ind-

AS. Management expects to maintain traction on account of healthy industry demand

and heightened product launches. Maintain ADD; TP ₹250 (from ₹240).

Other highlights

Generic molecules faced sever pricing pressures in the quarter, which forced Rallis also to

take sharp price cuts in its generic products, to align pricing with competition. There was

a sharp correction in realization of acephate, the active ingredient in Rallis’ best-selling

insecticide—Asataf, both in domestic and exports markets. The management expects

pricing pressures to continue for the rest of the fiscal.

The company launched ‘Epic’, a broad spectrum fungicide for paddy, and Quest, an exclusive

insecticide for cotton crop, in the quarter. With this, the company’s tally of new products

launched in the past two years has increase to 11, which should enable higher revenues

growth and innovation index in its domestic ag-chem business, in the medium term.

The management expects demand sentiments in 2HFY17 to remain healthy, on account

of record kharif production and improved reservoir levels. It also noted improving demand

environment in Brazil, which played an important role in strong growth in Rallis’ exports

business.

The standalone business reported 13% yoy decline in other operating expenses in 1HFY17,

leading to a strong margins improvement of 70 bps yoy, despite pressure on gross margins.

The management noted (1) savings in power and fuel cost from operationalization of its

solar power plant in its production facilities in Dahej and (2) internal efficiencies as the

main drivers of the savings, and expected these to sustain in coming quarters.

Ind-AS accounting implementation led to an 8% downward revision in Rallis’ standalone

2QFY17 EBITDA and PAT, due to higher product returns last year. Revenues of seeds

division were also revised downward by 26%, on account of netting-off of cash discounts

from topline, along with change in accounting for expected seeds returns, as per the

management.

Rallis’ 1HFY17 performance was satisfactory; consolidated revenues increased 14% yoy,

while EBITDA and adjusted PAT were up 22% and 31% yoy, respectively, on account of

100 bps improvement in margins, and lower interest and depreciation expenses.

Increase estimates to align with 1HFY17 performance

Despite robust and in-line yoy growth in Rallis’ 2QFY17 financials, the topline and PAT were

4% and 8% lower versus our estimates, as the growth came from a lower base, due to Ind-

AS implementation. While 2HFY17 will benefit from low base and continued strength in

topline growth, we have revised our estimates down slightly in anticipation of the trend seen

in 1HFY17. We continue to build robust 17% and 27% CAGR in Rallis’ FY206-19E revenues

and PAT.

2QFY17 earnings print – decent quarter albeit a tad below estimates

Headline consolidated results – APNT posted a decent quarter with net operating revenues

of ₹37.6 bn (+10% yoy), EBITDA of ₹7.13 bn (+17% yoy) and recurring PAT of ₹4.81 bn

(+17% yoy); however, both revenue and PAT were 4% below our estimates. EBITDA growth

was aided by 120 bps yoy expansion in EBITDA margin, led by expansion in GMs (up 170 bps

yoy); however, 40 bps jump in employee costs curtailed EBITDA margin expansion. We note

while sustained RM tailwinds did drive GM expansion, the pace of same has narrowed and GMs

contracted 270 bps qoq. Below-EBITDA line items (depreciation, other income, interest cost,

ETR) were broadly in line with our expectations. For 1HFY17, APNT delivered revenue, EBITDA

and PAT growth of 9%, 19% and 17% yoy respectively; EPS stood at ₹10.5.

Headline standalone results – standalone net operating revenues grew 9% yoy (partly aided

by low base); we estimate volume growth in domestic paints business stood at 12% yoy (below

our estimates of ~15% volume growth) – however, price cut of ~2% and 60 bps jump in excise

dragged reported revenue growth. Standalone EBITDA margin expanded 140 bps yoy to 20.3%

led by 210 bps expansion in GMs (down 280 bps qoq).

TTM EPS came in at ₹20.3, up a robust 24.3% yoy. The outperformance-miss cycle continued

with APNT missing consensus EPS estimates this time by 7%.

Estimates broadly unchanged; continue to find valuations rich – downgrade to SELL

APNT’s 2QFY17 earnings print, while robust on headline growth numbers, needs to be seen in

the context of the earlier onset of festive season this fiscal versus FY2016. We note that timing

of Diwali was favorable for 2Q volumes this time (versus 3Q in last fiscal). High 2HFY16 base

(16-17% volume growth in 3QFY16 and 13-14% in 4QFY16) may mean challenges to volume

growth acceleration going forward, hopes of an improvement in macro notwithstanding (we

note our estimates do build in a robust ~11% volume growth in 2HFY17).

We remain cautious on the stock as we continue to find valuations rich (trading at 45X

FY2018E; at ~25% premium to sector average P/E, ex-ITC). Downgrade the stock to SELL (from

REDUCE) with revised target price of ₹1,000 (from ₹950) as we roll over to Sep 2018E (based

on 37X target P/E multiple). Our estimates remain broadly unchanged.

Asian Paints (APNT) Consumer Products

Healthy quarter, not much to read either way; downgrade to SELL. APNT

reported a healthy quarter with robust headline growth numbers. However, 2Q and 3Q

performance should always be seen as a composite given the festive season timing

impact on phasing of volumes (festive sales were in 2Q this year). Net net, not much to

read through either way from the 2Q print; while a miss, it wasn’t weak enough for the

lofty valuations to correct. Rich valuations have become richer in recent months;

downgrade the stock to SELL (from REDUCE) with a revised TP of ₹1,000 (from ₹950).

Key takeaways from the management concall

Comments on demand environment. Demand trends were uniform and witnessed

robust growth across segments. However, prolonged monsoon did impact demand in

west and central India for the quarter. Rural continues to outperform urban market

growth rates. Overall, management expects to sustain its growth momentum led by

support from good monsoons and stimuli-led demand boost (especially in 2HFY17).

International business performed well led by good growth in Nepal, Fiji and certain

units in the Middle East. APNT has received some approvals in Indonesia and has begun

sale of paints on a small scale (getting it processed in outside units). It expects Indonesia

plant to commence operations by March 2017 (versus earlier guidance of January 2017).

Other takeaways. (1) Industrial business performed well (led by good demand

conditions in Auto OEM and GI business and industrial liquid paints segment), (2) home

décor (Sleek and Ess Ess bath fitting) registered good growth during the quarter, (3) most

RMs have started inching up including Tio2; APNT may resort to price hikes in 2HFY17 if

input costs harden further, (4) capex guidance for FY2017 (on a standalone basis) is ₹6

bn – largely initial spends on large greenfield facilities at Mysore and Vizag (will come up

in phases).
