Growth and profitability trending well. Titan’s 3Q print was decent- (1) Jewelry CMP (`): 1,563 sales were up 16% yoy and EBIT margin recovered to 12% (still down 100 bps on yoy Fair Value (`): 1,625 basis largely due to product mix), (2) watches and eyewear segments (88%/93% sales BSE-30: 51,309 recovery) reported impressive margin expansion. Overall, Jewelry sales growth, mix and margin recovery are on track and there is potential for acceleration in share gains as Titan emerges stronger relative to the competition in the post-Covid world. We maintain estimates and DCF-based FV of Rs1,625. ADD.

3QFY21 – Decent topline/profitability print; strong margin delivery in watches/eyewear

Titan’s 3QFY21 topline performance was per quarter-end sales update – (1) jewelry revenue grew 16% yoy (excluding bullion sale of Rs3.4 bn), (2) watches declined 12% yoy, and (3) eyewear declined 7% yoy. Jewelry EBIT margin stood at 12.0% (underlying, adjusted for bullion sales), down 100 bps yoy. Watches and eyewear segment EBIT margin stood at 10.3% and 18.1%, respectively. EBITDA stood at Rs8.6 bn, grew 17% yoy. A&P spends were down 39% yoy and employee cost was down 21% yoy. Other income grew 88% yoy, benefiting from Rs60 mn of rental negotiations. PBT/PAT both grew 18% yoy, in line with our estimates. TTAN has taken Rs1.37 bn provision in Favre Leuba subsidiary. Ineffective cash-flow hedge resulted in Rs510 mn loss in 3Q (included in other expenses; negligible EBIT level impact as the loss is balanced by gains on low-cost gold through P&L).

We expect jewelry margins to recovery as mix normalizes

Titan management indicated continued improvement in jewelry segment— retail sales were up 28% yoy in Jan 2021 and studded share improved to 39% (versus 43% in Jan 2020). We note that jewelry EBIT margin at 12% was down about 100 bps yoy led by about 200-250 decline in gross margin largely pertaining to higher gold coin sales and lower studded share. The management indicated that it has broadly managed to retain making charges as % of sales over the past 12-15 months even as gold prices have surged 35-40% (essentially implying that Jaykumar Doshi similar inflation in making margin/grammage largely absorbed by customers). Titan is not witnessing any competitive pressure on making charges. As a part of the ‘war on waste’ Sushruta Mishra program, Titan has aggressively worked on (1) improving vendor partner efficiencies to lower production cost, (2) savings in diamond procurement, and (3) product re-engineering to reduce weight of product. Given this, we believe that Titan’s jewelry margin would fully recover as the Aniket Sethi mix normalizes. Titan management also highlighted continued efforts to improve profitability in watches/eyewear. Per Titan about 50% of cost reduction is sustainable.

Conference call takeaways

 Jewelry segment revenue grew 16% yoy (adjusted for bullion sale of Rs3.4 bn; reported revenue grew 22% yoy). Retail sales grew 13% yoy largely driven by higher ticket size (store footfalls declined 3% yoy). Management highlighted continued growth momentum in Jan-2021 month with 28% yoy retail sales growth. Revenue growth was aided by significant recovery in studded segment, strong wedding jewelry sales and higher coin/plain gold sales (investment demand). Company highlighted pick-up in footfalls (especially in metros), along with improved demand in sub-Rs0.1 mn ticket size segment. Wedding jewelry grew 10% yoy in 3Q on the back of higher share of wedding-related spend shifting towards jewelry and some pent-up wedding demand from 1H. The company expects wedding jewelry growth momentum to sustain in the coming months. Studded jewelry registered 9% yoy in 3Q. With start of activations, Studded growth has accelerated to 16% yoy in Jan-2021 month (39% studded share). GHS enrolments were impacted by lesser store footfalls (-3% yoy in 3Q), even as sequential improvement continues with 13% yoy growth in store footfalls in Jan-2021 month. TTAN noted good traction on online/remote-selling efforts with 7.5% sales contribution in 3Q (2-3% online contribution).

 Jewelry segment margin performance. EBIT margin stood at 12.0% (adjusted for bullion sales) – down 100 bps yoy. EBIT margin was impacted by higher coin sales (lower margin), and lower studded share (26% in Dec-2020 compared to 29% in Dec-2019 quarter), partially offset by cost reduction efforts. TTAN noted steady competitive intensity with stable making charge (as % of sale value). TTAN also booked Rs510 mn of loss due to ineffective hedge during the quarter, on account of higher than estimated sales. Losses due to ineffective hedges get balanced out in inventory gains, resulting in negligible net impact on EBIT margins. Management highlighted progress on cost reduction efforts with – (1) vendor partner efficiencies to lower production cost, (2) savings in diamond procurement, and (3) product re-engineering to reduce weight.

 Watches segment revenue declined 12% yoy aided by strong traction in e-commerce channel (+30% yoy) and gifting even as continued weakness in trade channels and large- format stores dragged on overall performance (Analog watches declined 10% yoy). TTAN noted that these channels continue to see sequential m/m improvement in footfalls and ticket sizes. Franchise stores in small-towns and high-streets performed relatively better compared to Mall stores. Segment EBIT margin stood at 10.3% (+200 bps yoy) aided by cost control efforts despite negative operating leverage. TTAN has launched TRAQ range of high-performance sports watch, which has received encouraging initial consumer reviews.

 Eyewear segment revenue declined 7% yoy. Segment EBIT margin stood at 18.1% registering sharp improvement aided by better product mix, lower discounts, reduction in material consumption and cost control efforts (higher in-house manufacturing, closure of non-profitable stores). Management expects sustained profitability improvement in eyewear segment with double-digit EBIT margin targeted in FY2023E.

 Other businesses comprising of fragrances, Taneira and accessories witnessed 77% yoy revenue recovery in 3Q. TTAN continues to scale up Taneira with store network expansion (14 stores in six cities now), new collections (launched EIRA range of stitched Kurtas) and online/remote-selling scale up (listed on Myntra and Nykaa Fashion). To drive customer trials, the company has launched Taneira temporary pop-up stores (12 temporary pop-up stores in 3Q) with plans to conduct 75 such events in FY2022E.

 Subsidiary performance. Caratlane registered 33% yoy revenue growth during the quarter led by strong festive demand, improved offline retail sentiment and continued online momentum. Caratlane registered EBIT of Rs210 mn in 3Q. TEAL (Engineering and Automation business) declined 31% yoy impacted by weakness in Aerospace business.

 Others. (1) TTAN has taken Rs1.37 bn provision on Favre Leuba investment, considering the Covid-led business impact. (2) Wearable watches contribute 5% of watches revenue. (3) Gold on Loan accounted for 56% of inventory value as of Dec-2020 end. (4) TTAN has also decided to exercise its put option on 8th Dec-2020 in the Montblanc JV and would be divesting its stake during Mar-2021 quarter.

Deleveraging swiftly with strong spreads. Tata’s 3QFY21 earnings were in line with CMP (`): 690 our estimate (ahead of consensus) with higher than estimated India earnings offset by Fair Value (`): 875 weaker Europe margins. Both India and Europe business should see a further sequential BSE-30: 51,309 increase in steel margins in 4QFY21 given strong spot spreads. TATA reduced net debt sharply in 9MFY21 and should end FY2021E at comfortable 3X net debt/EBITDA which would allow it to start growth capex. We upgrade earnings and FV. Maintain BUY.

Tata Steel Stock data Forecasts/valuations 2021E 2022E 2023E CMP(Rs)/FV(Rs)/Rating 690/875/BUY EPS (Rs) 84.3 92.9 92.0 52-week range (Rs) (high-low) 732-251 EPS growth (%) 139.4 10.2 (1.0) Mcap (bn) (Rs/US$) 796/11 P/E (X) 8.2 7.4 7.5 ADTV-3M (mn) (Rs/US$) 13,186/181 P/B (X) 1.0 0.9 0.8 Shareholding pattern (%) EV/EBITDA (X) 5.8 5.3 5.3 Promoters 34.4 RoE (%) 13.5 13.4 11.8 FPIs/MFs/BFIs 12.4/13.1/16.7 Div. yield (%) 2.6 2.6 2.4 Price performance (%) 1M 3M 12M Sales (Rs bn) 1,411 1,621 1,643 Absolute (3.2) 56.2 55.5 EBITDA (Rs bn) 282 300 289 Rel. to BSE-30 (8.0) 31.7 24.2 Net profits (Rs bn) 102 114 113

3QFY21: Strong EBITDA beat on higher prices in India Tata’s standalone 3QFY21 EBITDA of Rs67 bn (+103% yoy, +45% qoq), was 6% higher than our estimate (KIE: Rs63 bn) led by higher than expected prices. However Europe operations continue to report an EBITDA loss of US$98 mn or -US$46/ton against our EBITDA estimate of US$34/ton mainly due to one-off expenses.  India–EBITDA beat on higher prices. Standalone EBITDA of Rs67 bn (+42% yoy) or Rs20,035/ton (+108% yoy) led by 21% yoy higher realization and 3% yoy lower costs (lower coking coal, overhead and operating leverage). Standalone sales volumes declined 2% yoy.  Europe – Exceptional losses increase costs. EBITDA loss of US$46/ton increased sequentially from US$27/ton in 2QFY21. Reported numbers were impacted by (1) £37 mn reversal of wage support from the Netherlands government recognized in 2QFY21 and (2) £110 mn carbon emission provisions in 3QFY21.

Improving balance sheet to create room for growth capex With tight control on working capital and deferral of growth capex, TATA has impressively reduced net debt by 12% in 9MFY21 to Rs922 bn as on 3QFY21 (including export advances). Tata has also called the remaining contribution of partly paid up shares which would result in an inflow of Rs36 bn in 4QFY21. We estimate TATA to end FY2021E at 3X net debt/EBITDA which would allow them to start growth capex from FY2022E. The company is looking to complete the pellet plant and CRM mill in FY2022E and still evaluating the timeline to start capex for KPO Phase II 5 mtpa expansion. We estimate capex to increase from Rs55 bn in FY2021E to Rs91/141 bn in FY2022/23E mainly towards the high IRR KPO II project.

Maintain BUY, revise Fair Value to Rs875 (Rs800 earlier) Sumangal Nevatia

Steel prices in 4QFY21 are Rs6,000-7,000/ton higher and with limited cost increase, large part Prayatn Mahajan of higher prices should flow in operating profits. We have upgraded our consolidated EBITDA estimates by 20%/8% for FY2021/22E factoring higher margins in India. Our Fair Value increases to Rs875 (from Rs800/share), based on September 2022E, on higher earnings and lower debt. We maintain BUY on attractive valuations.

Conference call highlights

 Demand outlook. Steel demand remains robust on easing of lockdown restrictions. Management expects demand to remain strong, supported by government spending on infrastructure. In Europe, demand continues to recover gradually

 Price guidance. Higher domestic prices, higher international prices and improved product mix should result in at least a Rs6,000-7,000/ton sequential increase in realization in 4QFY21 as per management. Even though spot domestic prices remain marginally higher than import parity prices, management doesn’t expect the prices to correct further. As per management prices in china softened due to the Chinese new year holidays and extreme winters.

For Europe, spreads are likely to be much higher than 3QFY21 average led by sharp price hikes across regions. However management guided that blended realizations shall not mirror spot realizations as majority of the volumes were contracted at much lower prices.

 Cost guidance. The management expects only a marginal increase in costs led by coking coal in 4QFY21 and large part of higher realization should flow into the margins.

 Export advances. TATA has taken up export advances of ~Rs60 bn, which shall be adjusted against steel exports over the next 3-4 years. The export advance is interest bearing but at lower rate than debt but we continue to treat it as debt.

 Capex - investing in growth in a measured way. With generation and visibility of strong operational cash flows, TATA has decided to restart work on Pellet plant and Cold Roll Mill complex at Tata Steel Kalinganagar. Expected capex on the said projects is estimated at Rs60-70 bn and shall take 12-14 months to complete. These projects would help reduce costs and increase margins. TATA would decide on KPO II expansion project in the coming quarter. Out of total capex of Rs235bn in KPO II, they have already spent Rs40-50bn and the steel plant would take ~36 months from when they start the capex.

 Focus remains on deleveraging. Management continues to prioritize cash flows towards (1) deleveraging its balance sheet by US$1bn annually, (2) committed capex, (3) sustenance capex. Total capex guidance continues to remain at Rs50-55 bn for FY2021E at the consolidated level with a ~50:50 split between India: Europe. The company has spent Rs46 bn in 9MFY21, primarily towards already committed payments at Kalinganagar with respect to the pellet plant and CRM mill. Management has guided for a gross debt reduction of Rs120 bn in 4QFY21E.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 11 Metals & Mining Tata Steel

 Bhushan Steel’s merger. The company has been allowed by NCLT to get shareholder approval and AGM for the same would be held in the coming months. The company remains hopeful of completing the merger in the next 6-12 months. Management has indicated that it would get tax benefit from the ~Rs150 bn of accumulated losses at Bhushan steel post the merger.

 First and Final call of Tata Steel partly paid. TATA has made the first and final call of Rs461/- for the 77.6 mn outstanding partly paid-up equity share in February 2021. This will result in an infusion of Rs36 bn in 4QFY21.

 Net debt declined 11% qoq. Tata Steel’s consolidated net-debt declined 11% qoq (Rs103 bn) to Rs862 bn as on December 2020 (see Exhibit 7) which is now lower March 2019 levels. However, almost Rs60 bn net debt reduction was driven by export advance which we continue to treat as debt given it is interest bearing. Given high cash levels, the management aims to reduce gross debt further by Rs120 bn in 4QFY21. Management sees net debt/EBITDA of 2.75X and debt/equity of 1:1 as a comfortable level to start capex spends.

 Europe Business

. In 9MFY21, the Indian operations did not extend any cash support to TSE. The management does not expect that the Europe entity would require further cash support from the India entity in the coming quarters. FCF generated during the quarter stood at –Rs(9) bn while FCF generated in 9MFY21 stood at +Rs7 bn.

. Reported EBITDA in 3QFY21 was impacted by one-offs. Higher deliveries, favorable product mix and full benefit of improved spot steel spreads shall aid earnings in 4QFY21E.

. One time provisions.

a) The company provisioned a sum of GBP110 mn towards carbon credit costs during the quarter.

b) The company was availing wage support from both UK and Netherlands government. Given the sharp sequential recovery in revenues, TATA was no longer eligible to wage support schemes availed in 1HFY21. This led to a reversal of GBP37 mn during the quarter.

. Transformation program is expected to result in Euro700 mn cost saving over the next couple of years. Management has already started to realize the benefits from this program for about Euro200 mn.

. Company continues to be in active discussions with the UK government with regards to long-term strategic support to the UK division to ensure sustainability of the operations and is evaluating several strategies for the same.

Unexciting quarter. Eicher Motors reported standalone EBITDA of Rs6.6 bn (+11% CMP (`): 2,901 yoy), 9% below our estimates due to RM headwinds and higher-than-expected Fair Value (`): 2,200 employee cost. We expect swift recovery in volumes from FY2022E onwards led by BSE-30: 51,309 (1) rebound in economic activity and (2) a strong order book coupled with lean inventory. However, valuation remains expensive at CMP (27.3X FY2023E consolidated EPS). Competitive intensity in the mid-size motorcycle segment is going to increase over the medium term, which needs to be closely monitored. Maintain SELL.

3QFY21 results: standalone EBITDA 9% below our estimates due to RM cost pressures

Eicher reported 3QFY21 standalone EBITDA of Rs6.6 bn (+11% yoy), 9% below our estimates due to (1) lower-than-expected gross margins and (2) higher-than-expected employee expenses. Revenues increased by 19% yoy, led by (1) 9% yoy increase in volumes and (2) 9% yoy increase in net realizations. EBITDA margin came in at 23.5% (-170 bps yoy, +70 bps qoq), 170 bps below our estimates due to (1) lower-than-expected gross margins and (2) higher-than- expected employee costs. Gross margin declined by 140 bps qoq due to RM headwinds (80-100 bps negative impact) as the company was not able to fully pass on RM inflation to the consumers. As a result, gross profit per vehicle declined by 2% yoy to Rs57,459 in 3QFY21. Staff costs increased by 26% yoy due to increments given during the quarter while other expenses declined by 11% yoy in 3QFY21. The company reported standalone net profit of Rs4.9 bn (flat yoy), 14% below our estimates due to (1) miss at EBITDA level and (2) higher- than-expected depreciation expense in 3QFY21.

VECV’s EBITDA margin improved on a yoy basis due to tighter control on costs

VECV reported revenues of Rs26.8 bn (+24% yoy) in 3QFY21 due by (1) 3% yoy increase in volumes and (2) double-digit yoy increase in ASPs owing to the BS-VI transition. The company reported EBITDA margin of 8.6% (EBITDA of Rs2.3 bn) in 3QFY21 versus 6.4% in 3QFY20.

Cut our FY2022-23E EPS estimates by 4-5%; maintain SELL on expensive valuations Hitesh Goel We have cut our FY2022-23E consolidated EPS estimates by 4-5% on lower EBITDA margin assumptions. We are building in average monthly volumes of ~64.9k units in FY2022E and Rishi Vora ~76k units in FY2023E led by (1) rebound in economy activity, (2) favorable base effect and (3) strong order backlog coupled with lower inventory levels. We expect operating leverage benefits and cost-cutting initiatives to help EBITDA per vehicle improve to Rs34,133 in FY2023E from Rs31,592 in FY2020. However, valuations continue to remain expensive at CMP. Maintain SELL with revised FV of Rs2,200 (from Rs1,920 earlier) on lower WACC assumptions of 11.5%

(from 12% earlier) and roll-over to March 2023E (from September 2022E earlier). [email protected] Contact: +91 22 6218 6427

Standalone EBITDA 9% below our estimate due to RM headwinds

Eicher reported 3QFY21 standalone EBITDA of Rs6.6 bn (+11% yoy), 9% below our estimates due to (1) lower-than-expected gross margins and (2) higher-than-expected employee expenses. Revenues increased by 19% yoy, led by (1) 9% yoy increase in volumes and (2) 9% yoy increase in net realizations. Yoy increase in ASPs was primarily due to (1) cost increase due to shift towards BS-VI emission norms, (2) better product mix and (3) price hikes taken during the year. EBITDA margin came in at 23.5% (-170 bps yoy, +70 bps qoq), 170 bps below our estimates due to (1) lower-than-expected gross margins and (2) higher- than-expected employee cost. Gross margin declined by 140 bps qoq due to RM headwinds (80-100 bps negative impact) as the company was not able to fully pass on RM inflation to the consumers. The company has taken price hikes of 2-3% during the quarter; however, the company highlighted that it will not fully offset RM inflation.

Gross profit per vehicle declined by 2% yoy to Rs57,459 in 3QFY21 from Rs58,587 in 3QFY20. Staff costs increased by 26% yoy due to increments given during the quarter while other expenses declined by 11% yoy led by cost-cutting initiatives in 3QFY21. EBITDA per vehicle increased by only 1% to Rs32,956 despite double-digit revenue increase in 3QFY21. The company reported standalone net profit of Rs4.9 bn (flat yoy), 14% below our estimates due to (1) miss at EBITDA level and (2) higher-than-expected depreciation expense in 3QFY21. We expect gross profit per vehicle to remain flattish over FY2020-23E. We expect EBITDA margin to remain around 22.6% and 23.8% in FY2022E and FY2023E, respectively.

Other key highlights

 The company highlighted that bookings were higher in 3QFY21 on a yoy basis aided by strong demand for Meteor 350. The company has ramped up its production from 30,000 units per month in June 2020 to 70,000 units per month in October 2020 and 75,000 units per month in December 2020. While the company has been able to stabilize their supply chain to some degree, there are still a few issues with erratic supplies, as well as increase in logistics and commodity costs. The company has taken price hikes during the past few months to mitigate RM cost pressures.

 VECV reported revenues of Rs26.8 bn (+24% yoy) in 3QFY21 due by (1) 3% yoy increase in volumes and (2) double-digit yoy increase in ASPs due to BS-VI transition. The company

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 19 Automobiles & Components Eicher Motors

reported EBITDA margin of 8.6% (EBITDA of Rs2.3 bn) in 3QFY21 versus 6.4% in 3QFY20 due to stringent cost-reduction measures being undertaken. The company incurred net profit of Rs580 mn in 3QFY21 versus net profit of Rs300 mn in 3QFY20. The company is seeing initial signs of revival of the industry with a positive outlook for the economy going forward. The company is witnessing good demand from niche segments such as construction, mining, agriculture and e-commerce among others. The company remains positive on revival in the replacement demand that had been muted for the past two years. The company has inaugurated its manufacturing facility in Bhopal and will be producing Pro 2000 series from this plant.

 The company continued to strengthen its presence in international markets. The company added 14 new stores in 3QFY21 and 25 new stores in 9MFY21. The company opened its first standalone, flagship store in Tokyo. In addition to this, 13 new exclusive stores were opened with focus on Latin American and ASEAN markets – Thailand, Argentina and Colombia. The company has added 133 small format stores in 3QFY21. The company plans to add total 500 small format stores in FY2021E. Overall retail touchpoints stood at >1,900 across India with 976 dealerships and 900 small format stores.

 Other key points. (1) The company will incur capex of Rs4-5 bn in FY2021E, (2) the company has less than 2 weeks of channel inventory and (3) top-20 cities contribute 20% to the total volumes.

Strong FCF strengthening balance sheet. HNDL’s 3QFY21 India EBITDA was in line CMP (`): 279 with our estimates benefiting from higher aluminum prices. , earlier, surprised Fair Value (`): 375 with margins higher than its guidance range with strong scrap spreads and beverage BSE-30: 51,309 can demand. Given limited capex, HNDL has deleveraged sharply in the past six months and with focus on organic growth, debt reduction should continue. Management shared that it would soon announce a capital allocation policy and focus on shareholder payouts should help re-rate the stock. Maintain BUY with a Fair Value of Rs375/share.

3QFY21 India—cost reduction at aluminum division offset price weakness India EBITDA of Rs15.3 bn (+22% yoy, +17% qoq) was in line with our estimate of Rs15.4 bn. Aluminum EBITDA (including Utkal) at Rs13.3 bn or EBITDA/ton of US$573/ton (+34% yoy, +17% qoq) was led by 13% qoq higher LME prices, higher VAP sales and stable costs. Management has guided that costs have bottomed and expects a ~3% qoq increase in 4QFY21E. We estimate aluminum EBITDA of US$501/509/ton in FY2022/23E versus US$501/ton in FY2021E. Copper EBITDA remained stagnant at Rs2.02 bn (-21% yoy, -3% qoq) due to planned shutdowns impacting copper volumes (-13% yoy) and lower TcRc offset by higher byproduct credits. CC rod sales at 0.65 mn tons (+12% yoy, +2% qoq) increased on improved demand post easing of lockdown restrictions.

Novelis 3QFY21: yet another quarter with record margins Novelis’ 3QFY21 shipments were at 0.93 mn tons (+17% yoy; KIE 0.91 mn tons). Adjusted EBITDA of US$501 mn (+22% yoy) or a margin of US$537/ton (+25% yoy) was much ahead of our estimate of US$490/ton. After capex of US$111 mn during the quarter, FCF of US$75 mn helped reduce net debt/EBITDA to 3.3X versus 3.8X in April 2020 post acquisition. All regions benefited from stronger can demand, higher scrap availability and sequential recovery in auto volumes whereas Asia margins were marginally impacted by logistical bottlenecks.

Capital allocation policy under works, focus on shareholder payout and organic growth to help

Management shared that it would announce a formal capital allocation policy in the coming few Sumangal Nevatia weeks. With improving cash-flows and swift deleveraging, the capital allocation policy could have guidance for shareholder payouts in future. Inorganic growth and upstream investments, in the Prayatn Mahajan past, has diluted near-term returns for HNDL. If the new capital allocation policy emphasizes on organic and downstream growth, it could help in re-rating the stock.

Deleveraging and structural growth tailwinds to drive re-rating; maintain BUY with FV of Rs375

We note that HNDL leverage has peaked in 1QFY21. We estimate net debt/EBITDA to reduce to [email protected] 2.8X/2.3X/1.8X with 9%/12%/16% FCF yield in FY2021/22/23E mainly led by Novelis. Focus on Contact: +91 22 6218 6427 organic growth, deleveraging and sustenance of strong margins at Novelis should help re-rate from current commodity multiples. We tweak our EBITDA estimates with 1-2% cuts for FY2021-23E. Maintain BUY on attractive valuations – 4.8X EV/EBITDA FY2023E with FV of Rs375.

Changes in our estimates

Exhibit 7 highlights key changes in our estimates.

We have reduced our EBITDA by 2%/1%/1% for FY2021/22/23E led by

 2%/13%/12% cut in copper EBITDA for FY2021/22/23E factoring lower Tc/Rc’s based on CY2021 annual contracts and lower premiums.

 9% cut in aluminum EBITDA for FY2021E factoring management guidance on higher 4QFY21 costs.

Our Fair Value is maintained at Rs375 at an unchanged 6.1X EV/EBITDA September 2022E.

Other highlights from the results, earnings call

 Aluminum business (including Utkal): strong earnings on higher prices

. EBITDA. Hindalco’s aluminum EBITDA (including Utkal) increased to Rs13.3 bn (+33% yoy and +21% qoq) but was 3% below our estimates led by lower shipments and higher costs.

. Realizations. Management expects aluminum supply-demand to remain tight due to minimal surplus in 3QCY20 and 4QCY20. Given the strong demand in China, and stimulus announcements in World-Ex China, demand for aluminum is expected to remain strong and prices are likely to remain firm.

. Capacity utilization. Aluminum production continued to decline yoy due to delay in relining of pots due to Covid-19. The management expects production run-rate to improve to a normalized level of 315,000-320,000 tons in 4QFY21 as pots come online with return of skilled labor to plant sites.

. Higher VAP volumes. Aluminium VAP (excluding wire rods) sales volumes in 3QFY21 were at 80,000 tons (vs 63,000 tons in 2QFY21), up 30% qoq, with a sharp recovery in the domestic market. VAP sales as a percentage of total metal sales have improved to 25% in 3QFY21 vs 21% in 2QFY21.

. Cost guidance. As per the management, the input costs remained flat qoq in 3QFY21 due to low-cost coal inventory. However, as per management coal costs have bottomed out. It has guided for a 3% qoq increase in costs in 4QFY21 as all the input costs elements have hit their bottom. CP coke pitch prices were up 20% qoq and coal premiums have also inched up.

. Forward hedges. For 4QFY21, 58% of aluminum volumes are hedged at US$1,716/ton and 45% of the total currency exposure is hedged at Rs76/US$. Further, HNDL has hedged 28% of FY2022E aluminum volumes at US$1,840/ton and 18% of currency exposure is hedged at Rs78.5.

 Copper—higher prices aid earnings

. Cathode production at 51,000 tons, was lower by 29% qoq mainly due to planned maintenance shutdown in one of the smelters.

. Higher EBITDA in the copper division was a result of higher CC rod sales of 65,000 tons (+12% yoy), and higher DAP (fertilizer) sales volume on the back of robust demand with good monsoons.

. Planned shutdown. The company highlighted that the facilities were ramping up swiftly post the maintenance shutdown. One more smelter was planned to go for a maintenance shutdown in 4QFY21.

 Capex guidance. For FY2021, the company has maintained its India capex guidance at Rs15 bn catering primarily towards maintenance capex (Rs10 bn) and critical expansion projects (Utkal refinery expansion). Capex incurred in 9MFY21 stands at Rs11.5 bn. Management also hinted at a potential capex of Rs20 bn for FY2022E.

 Utkal expansion. The Utkal expansion remains on track for completion by 1QFY22E. Management plans to continue running one of the lines of in year one and have third party sales in 4QFY22. Utkal cost of production is expected to be half of the cost at other smelters.

 Fixed-cost reduction plan. Hindalco India plans to reduce its fixed costs by Rs8-9 bn during FY2021. Management has already realized a portion of such savings in 2QFY21.

 Capital allocation policy – to be announced in a few weeks. Management is working on a detailed plan to discuss the capital allocation strategy given the improved visibility on free cash flow generation and shall come out with a detailed capital allocation plan in a few weeks. This would entail balancing between capex, deleveraging and payout to shareholders .The management indicated that their core focus for the medium term was to use the FCF generation at Novelis to repay its debt. HNDL capex shall be limited to its existing committed projects.

 Net debt declines. Consolidated net debt declined to Rs538 bn in 3QFY21 from Rs623 bn in 2QFY21 on strong cash flow generation at Novelis. Leverage declined from 3.83X in 1QFY21 to 3.09X in 3QFY21. Standalone net debt stands at Rs140 bn.

Novelis. Flexing its muscle, stage set for re-rating

 Sustainable margin guidance. The company has retained its sustainable margin guidance at US$480-500/ton in the medium term post its integration with Aleris assets. It has already achieved synergy benefit run-rate of US$54 mn out of the total potential synergy of US$180 mn.

 Scrap spreads. Management indicated that the scrap market is tight and spreads could come under marginal pressure led by (1) logistical constraints in scrap collection due to Covid-19, (2) limited freight container availability and (3) new trade policies in China allowing for unrestrictive import of high quality aluminum scrap into China. However, the management guided that imposition of anti-dumping duties on aluminum imported into America is likely to support margins. Management remains watchful on these recent developments and does not see a material negative impact on scrap spreads.

 Can demand. Management expects can demand to remain robust and grow at CAGR of 3-6% across markets up to 2025. Demand for beverage cans remains recession resistant due to higher off-premise consumption and increased preference for use of aluminum as a sustainable form of packaging. North America markets remain tight due to higher at- home consumption and increasing adoption of aluminum in new beverage types (like sparkling water, energy drinks). Volumes recovered sharper than expected in Europe. Volumes in South America increased due to higher off-premise consumption and increasing substitution from glass to aluminum. Volumes were weaker in Asia due to restrictions on tourism.

 Auto demand. Management expects auto demand to remain strong post Covid-19 due to increased preference for personal transportation. Shipments in North America have recovered to pre-pandemic levels with higher demand for trucks and SUVs. Demand in Europe is yet to fully recover due to discontinuation of incentives and more stringent Covid-led lockdowns. Automotive shipments in Asia continue to see a V-shaped recovery led by higher demand for EVs and increased government spending.

 Aerospace demand. The company expects aerospace demand to remain under pressure given the worldwide spread of Covid-19, leading to many end-customers delaying deliveries and lack of new orders. Management expects recovery to be prolonged. However, the impact on overall earnings should be limited due to low volume proportion of aerospace.

 Specialties demand. The company highlighted that demand for specialties continues to increase sequentially. The North American building and construction market has rebounded quickly led by favorable housing fundamentals. Demand remains robust in Korea led by electronic products and container products.

Rebound in volumes/margins across key business segments; higher other income

EBITDA increased 43% qoq to Rs19.2 bn in 3QFY21 reflecting a healthy rebound in volumes across segments and recovery in margins for petchem and gas marketing business; EBITDA was 11% below our estimate though led by higher operating cost and persisting loss in gas marketing business, albeit sharply lower than 1HFY21. Petchem segment EBIT jumped 2.5X qoq led by sharply higher realized margins amid an increase in realizations and lower input LNG cost. Gas transmission EBIT declined 3% qoq to Rs9.9 bn despite 4% increase in volumes and 1% higher tariffs, which was offset by an increase in operating costs. LPG/LHC production EBIT increased by only 1% qoq, surprising given higher realizations, 7% higher volumes and reduction in input gas price. Gas marketing reported lower EBIT loss, showing signs of improvement amid higher crude/LNG prices. Net income was in line with our estimate at Rs14.9 bn (EPS of Rs3.3.), boosted by higher other income, lower interest cost and tax rate. In 9MFY21, EBITDA declined 36% to Rs38.8 bn and adjusted net income declined 22% to Rs29.1 bn.

Management optimistic on gas transmission and marketing segments

In 3QFY21 conference call, GAIL management indicated—(1) contracted LNG volumes for FY2022 are almost fully placed with the company expecting to earn at least a modest level of profits, (2) transmission volumes are expected to improve materially in FY2022-23 as contracted LNG volumes are placed domestically, following the ramp-up in off-take by upcoming fertilizer plants, (3) gas volumes at the under-construction Urja Ganga Project are guided to increase by 11 mcm/d during FY2022 led by off-take of gas by four fertilizer plants (Baruani, Durgapur, Gorakhpur and Sindri), refineries (Barauni, Haldia and Paradip) and several CGD areas along the Tarun Lakhotia network, (4) the company has sourced ~2 mcm/d of gas from RIL’s R-series block and (5) capex run-rate was lower at Rs37 bn in 9MFY21 versus FY2021 guidance of Rs66 bn. Hemang Khanna Raise FY2022-23 EPS estimates by 8-15%; retain BUY with revised FV of Rs160

We raise FY2022-23E EPS by 8-15% factoring in higher EBITDA for petchem and LPG/LHC production segment assuming oil price at US$50/bbl for FY2022 and higher margins for both years; increase in FY2021E EPS is higher at 25% as we account higher volumes/prices/margins for 4QFY21, higher other income and lower interest cost. We revise our SoTP-based FV to [email protected] Contact: +91 22 6218 6427 Rs160 from Rs140 earlier on higher estimates and rollover to March 2023.

3QFY21 segment performance

 Recovery in gas transmission volumes offset by higher costs. Gas transmission revenues increased 5% qoq to Rs16.1 bn reflecting 4% qoq increase in volumes to 110.3 mcm/d and 1% higher realized tariffs at Rs1.59/scm. However, EBIT moderated 3% qoq to Rs9.9 bn, impacted by an increase in operating costs.

 Reduction in EBIT loss from gas marketing. Gas marketing EBIT loss moderated further to Rs737 mn from Rs3.64 bn in 2QFY21 reflecting a decline in the differentials between gas-linked LNG prices versus spot LNG and crude-linked LNG prices. Gas sales volumes increased 8% qoq to 95.6 mcm/d.

 Surprisingly modest increase in LPG/LHC EBIT. LPG/LHC segment EBIT increased marginally by 1% qoq to Rs2.8 bn despite (1) 7% sequential increase in volumes to 319 ktons, (2) 2% qoq increase in realizations and (3) 25% decline in input price of domestic gas; the company indicated that operating expenses were higher.

 Strong performance by petchem segment. Petchem segment EBIT increased 2.5X qoq to Rs4.3 bn versus of Rs1.8 bn in 2QFY21 reflecting 3% qoq increase in volumes to 231 ktons, 11% qoq rise in realizations to Rs83.8/kg and likely decline in input LNG costs. Production increased 5% qoq to 233 ktons, highest level achieved post expansion.

9MFY21 segment performance

 Lower EBIT for gas transmission. Gas transmission revenues declined 5% yoy to Rs44.2 bn reflecting 5% decline in volumes to 102.3 mcm/d and steady realized tariffs at Rs1.57/scm. EBIT declined 4% to Rs27.3 bn reflecting lower implied operating costs.

 EBIT loss for gas marketing. Gas marketing reported an EBIT loss of Rs9.8 bn versus a positive EBIT of Rs15.5 bn in 9MFY20 impacted by weaker spreads amid adverse differentials of contracted LNG prices. Gas sales volumes declined 8% to 88.5 mcm/d.

 Sharp decline in LPG/LHC EBIT. LPG/LHC segment EBIT declined sharply to Rs8.3 bn, reflecting 14% decline in realizations and 8% reduction in volumes to 881 ktons, which was partly offset by a reduction in domestic gas price.

 Robust profits from petchem segment. Petchem business reported an EBIT of Rs4.6 bn versus EBIT loss of Rs3.2 bn in 9MFY20 reflecting 13% increase in sales volumes to 638 ktons, 2% increase in realizations and higher underlying margins.

Robust rebound. IGL’s performance was in line with our expectations in 3QFY21 CMP (`): 557 reflecting a sharp expansion in unit margins to record-high levels and a healthy recovery Fair Value (`): 575 in volumes. We expect margins to sustain at high levels amid a benign environment and BSE-30: 51,309 volumes to continue improving led by restoration of normalcy and incremental off-take from new CNG buses to be inducted by DTC. ADD stays with a revised DCF-based FV of Rs575 from Rs500 earlier on higher long-term margins and rollover.

In-line results driven by recovery in volumes and record-high unit margins

IGL’s EBITDA increased 23% qoq and 28% yoy to Rs5 bn in 3QFY21, modest 1% above our estimate, reflecting 13% qoq increase in volumes to 6.3 mcm/d (down only 6% yoy now) and further expansion in unit margins. Gross margin was up 6% qoq at Rs14.6/scm, reflecting gains from the cut in domestic gas price, which was partially offset by higher LNG prices. Unit EBITDA increased to record-high levels of Rs8.7/scm from Rs8/scm in 2QFY21. Net income increased 9% qoq and 18% yoy to Rs3.35 bn (EPS of Rs4.8) as a sharper increase in EBITDA was offset by reduced other income. Income from associates, CUGL and MNGL, jumped sharply by 60% yoy to Rs470 mn in 3QFY21. In 9MFY21, EBITDA declined 13% to Rs9.91 bn and adjusted net income declined 16% to Rs6.75 bn (EPS of Rs9.6), reflecting a sharp 26% reduction in volumes impacted by lockdown; unit EBITDA jumped 17% to Rs7.5/scm as 21% increase in gross margins to Rs14.1/scm was partially offset by negative operating leverage amid lower volumes. Income from associates, CUGL and MNGL, declined 23% yoy to Rs817 mn in 9MFY21.

Volume recovery continues in 3QFY21—CNG now only 9% lower yoy, while I&C segment up 2%

Overall volumes increased 14% qoq to 6.3 mcm/d in 3QFY21 driven by (1) encouraging 13% qoq increase in CNG volumes to 289 mn kgs, which remained only 9% lower yoy as compared to a sharp decline of 20% in 2QFY21 and 66% decline in 1QFY21, (2) strong 17% sequential rebound in I&C segment, which recorded 2% yoy growth as compared to 20% decline in 1HFY21, (3) sustained 14% yoy growth in domestic PNG volumes and (4) 15% sequential growth for sale to other CGD entities in Gurugram and Faridabad, which remained 14% lower yoy as compared to a decline of 45% in 1HFY21. In 9MFY21, overall volumes reduced 26% yoy to 4.8 mcm/d reflecting a decline of (1) 31% in CNG, (2) 12% in I&C and (3) 35% in supply to Tarun Lakhotia other CGD entities, which was partly offset by 24% growth in domestic PNG volumes. Hemang Khanna Retain ADD with a revised Fair Value of Rs575

We broadly retain our FY2021-23 EPS estimates incorporating 9MFY21 performance. We retain ADD rating, while raising Fair Value to Rs575 from Rs500 to reflect higher long-term growth assumptions and rollover of DCF model to March 2022. We expect volume trajectory to improve further and high margins to sustain amid a favorable operating environment. A recent [email protected] order of 1,000 new CNG buses by DTC, is expected to aid volumes from 2HFY22 onwards. Contact: +91 22 6218 6427

Margins surprise. PAG reported 17%/10% topline/volume growth (2-yr CAGR at 4%/ CMP (`): 31,934 12%) partly aided by pent up demand. EBITDA margin expansion (24.4%, +690 bps Fair Value (`): 28,500 yoy; near-peak level) driven by GM improvement, operating leverage and cost control. It BSE-30: 51,309 looks like things are falling in place for PAG thanks to confluence of (1) efforts— investments in S&D and business transformation (IT upgrade for efficient production planning, assortment management at distributor/store level and thrust on kids wear), (2) externalities— Covid-led boost to athleisure and perhaps improving macro. We raise FY2022-23E EPS by 9% and FV to Rs28,500 (Rs25,200). Valuations are expensive. REDUCE.

3QFY21 – good topline performance with big beat on margins

Revenues were up 17% yoy (KIE 14%) to Rs9.3 bn. Volumes rose 10% yoy (in line) while realizations were better due to higher saliency of athleisure and outerwear sales along with full- quarter benefit of price hike taken in August. GM expanded 227 bps yoy to 55.4% mainly led by higher realizations (product mix/pricing). The management indicated that yarn prices have seen stronger-than-usual (seasonal) inflation and the new crop should ease the pressure.

Reported EBITDA rose 63% yoy and EBITDA margin expanded 690 bps yoy to 24.4% (highest print in a very long time) with continued leash on operating expenses and better absorption of factory overheads on account of strong volumes. Other expenses were down 5% yoy while staff costs were up 9% yoy. Management did highlight that these margins are not sustainable as some of the discretionary costs (A&P spends and digital transformation investments) will increase going ahead. PBT and net profit was up 77% yoy. PAG has also repaid the entire debt in the quarter. 9MFY21 roundup – revenue decline of 19% yoy, gross margins contracted 37 bps, EBITDA down 25%, PBT down 28% and PAT down 28%. 9M EPS at Rs201.7/share.

Supportive macro and several measures lend management confidence on demand sustenance

Management is confident of improved growth momentum going forward. On the demand side, management expects benefit from (1) sustenance of athleisure demand on the back of new Jaykumar Doshi trials in the past year, (2) expansion of the Jockey Junior franchise and (3) LT potential of expansion in tier 3/4 and rural areas – PAG has been piloting a rural range for some time. It has Aniket Sethi also invested in digital transformation and IT systems for stream-lining operations. The company has also focused on improving its operating cost structure. PAG is also looking for a price Sushruta Mishra increase in 1QFY22E due to higher-than-normal inflation in yarn prices. We raise FY2022-23 estimates by 9% and raise DCF-based FV to Rs28,500 (from Rs25,200)

We raise our FY2022-23E EPS by about 9% led by a stronger recovery and increase in margin assumptions. Our estimates now imply 11.7% revenue CAGR over FY2020-22E. We are now building EBITDA margins of 22.4% and 23.1% in FY2022E and FY2023E, respectively. Our FV increases to Rs28,000 (from Rs25,200). Maintain REDUCE on expensive valuations.

Conference call takeaways

 Operational update. With the resumption of economic activity, most of the retail stores are now open. More than 94% of MBOs are now functional and all the EBOs have now re-opened. About 93% of the LFS stores have also re-opened. Manufacturing operations are completely normalized. Besides, working capital situation has been tightened and the company has repaid the entire debt on books. Management believes that these demand trends are sustainable and not pent-up in nature.

 Strong demand for leisurewear. PAG is seeing strong pick-up in demand for outerwear categories such as lounge, active and sleepwear. The segment continues to see double- digit growth. Management has said that the lockdown has created many trials (including an innerwear customer buying leisurewear) for them and they expect this new demand to be sticky. The segment’s contribution is now inching closure to men’s innerwear.

 Focus on cost rationalization. PAG continues to target operational cost efficiencies and has been pushing some discretionary costs (A&P spends (cut to half) and investments in digital transformation) till now. Management has guided for margins to normalize to close to 22% (versus 24.4% in 3QFY21) as they are looking to accelerate investments going forward.

 Impact of RM inflation. Yarn prices typically see inflationary pressure in December and start to cool-off in February, when the new crop comes in. However, the increase in this year has been higher-than-usual. PAG can look at a price increase in early-FY2022E given they have already take a price increase in August 2020.

 Other highlights—(1) PAG has already opened 28 EBOs for kids range and 20 more are in the pipeline. (2) PAG has been piloting a targeted range for the rural and tier 3/4 markets for some time now and are confident of good long-term potential in these markets. (3) PAG has strengthened its position in the e-commerce segment and is seeing strong growth in the channel. (4) PAG intends to add 10,000 outlets to its footprint in FY2021E; in 9MFY21, it has already managed to add 7,000 outlets.

50 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH BUY Mahanagar Gas (MAHGL) https://ultraviewer.et/en/own Gas Utilities FEBRUARY 10, 2021 load.html RESULT Sector view: Attractive

Robust margins, likely to sustain. MGL’s 3QFY21 results were in line with estimates CMP (`): 1,129 as record-high margins offset modestly slower-than-anticipated recovery in volumes. Fair Value (`): 1,350 We raise our above-consensus EPS estimates by 8% in FY2022-23E factoring in higher BSE-30: 51,309 margins, which we believe may sustain given (1) low price of domestic gas, (2) sharp discount of CNG versus liquid fuels and (3) lack of regulations. We raise FV to Rs1,350 from Rs1,200 and reiterate BUY noting inexpensive valuations and high FCF yield.

Strong rebound driven by record-high margins and healthy sequential recovery in volumes MGL’s EBITDA was in line with our estimate at Rs3.17 bn (+22% yoy) in 3QFY21, as modestly slower-than-expected recovery in volumes to 2.77 mcm/d (-9% yoy) was offset by higher unit margins. Gross margins expanded 3% qoq to Rs17.7/scm, in line with our estimate, post the cut in domestic gas price in October 2020, which was partially offset by higher LNG prices. Unit EBITDA increased 7% qoq to peak level of Rs12.4/scm from Rs11.6/scm in 2QFY21 benefitting from operating leverage amid sequential recovery in volumes. Net income was 2% below our estimate at Rs2.17 bn (EPS of Rs22, +17% yoy). We expect margins to remain robust post the recent price hikes undertaken by the company to proactively pass on higher operating costs. In 9MFY21, MGL’s EBITDA declined 24% to Rs6.18 bn and adjusted net income declined 29% to Rs4.07 bn (EPS of Rs41.2), reflecting a sharp 34% reduction in volumes impacted by lockdown; unit EBITDA jumped 15% to Rs11.3/scm as 19% increase in gross margins to Rs17.3/scm was partially offset by negative operating leverage amid lower volumes. Volume recovery on track and margins may remain robust amid a benign environment In 3QFY21, overall volumes jumped 34% qoq to 2.77 mcm/d driven by (1) 48% increase in CNG volumes, which was down only 15% yoy as compared to a sharp decline of 42% in 2QFY21 and 78% in 1QFY21, (2) 13% qoq rise in I&C volumes, which was 9% lower yoy as compared to a decline of 20% in 2QFY21 and 49% decline in 1QFY21 and (3) 7% growth in domestic PNG volumes, up a healthy 24% yoy. In 9MFY21, total volumes reduced 34% yoy to 2 mcm/d reflecting a decline of 45% in CNG and 26% in I&C segment, which was partly offset by 17% growth in domestic PNG volumes. The company indicated that overall volumes have recovered back to ~2.9 mcm/d in January 2021 with CNG volumes being lower by ~9% yoy, while domestic PNG and industrial volumes increased by 15% and 7% respectively; conversions to CNG vehicles is gathering pace. MGL has increased CNG/PNG prices recently to pass on rise in operating costs and potential increase in trade discounts, which is still under negotiations Tarun Lakhotia with OMCs. In our view, unit margins may remain elevated given the large arbitrage between CNG and liquid auto fuels in , which may allow MGL to conveniently pass on any cost inflation without impacting the economic attractiveness of CNG as a fuel for vehicles. Hemang Khanna

Raise above-consensus EPS estimates by 8%; retain BUY with a revised FV of Rs1,350 We raise our FY2022-23E EPS by 8% factoring in (1) higher unit margins at Rs12/scm and (2) other minor changes; our FY2021E EPS reduces by 2% due to lower other income. We reiterate BUY, while raising FV to Rs1,350 from Rs1,200 earlier factoring in higher margins in the medium term and rolling-forward DCF model to March 2022. We find the reward-risk balance [email protected] favorable given inexpensive valuations at 11.6X FY2022E EPS and high FCF yield at 7%. Contact: +91 22 6218 6427

Turnaround of new units in BSE-30: 51,309 India and GCC recovery will help drive earnings over FY2022-23E even as higher cases in the UAE impacts near-term performance.

Fresh Covid wave impacts GCC footfalls; India recovering well

Aster DM’s 3QFY21 revenues declined 3% (-7% in c/c) and was 8% below our estimates. GCC footfalls were impacted by a fresh wave of Covid infections in 3QFY21 in the UAE. GCC hospitals revenues declined 3% yoy (-7% in c/c) with occupancy declining to 47% (versus 56% in 2QFY21, 61% in 3QFY20) and inpatients volumes declining 18% yoy. Clinics/pharmacy segment footfalls declined 23%/28% yoy respectively. Despite sharp volume decline, higher Covid testing in clinics restricted revenue decline to 1% yoy (-5% in c/c). Pharmacy revenues declined 15% yoy (-19% in c/c). India business fared relatively well registering 8% yoy growth on the back of strong recovery in mature units and ramp-up of new units. Consolidated EBITDA (post-Ind-AS) of Rs2.3 bn (-15% yoy) missed our estimates by 14% led by muted revenues with margins declining 200 bps yoy to 14.5% (-100 bps vs KIE). GCC hospitals margins reduced 500 bps yoy to 17.9% (-110 bps vs KIE) impacted by negative operating leverage. Pharmacy margins declined 290 bps yoy to 11.2% while higher Covid testing led to clinics margins expanding 310 bps yoy to 21.5%. India margins remained strong at 13%, -50 bps qoq even as Kerala was impacted by higher Covid cases. Consolidated net debt remained flat qoq at Rs25 bn. Higher cases to impact near-term recovery; capital allocation and pledging an overhang

After a strong 2Q where GCC posted impressive recovery, higher Covid cases impacted 3QFY21. With continued increase in cases during January and fresh restrictions imposed in the UAE, near-term performance, particularly 4Q which is the best quarter seasonally, will remain muted. Aster has undertaken strong cost-rationalization initiatives and has guided for partial sustainability of reduction in costs, which will support margins. Foray into diagnostics and pharmacy (in India), home-care (in UAE) and tele-health also creates new avenues for growth over medium to long term. However, prioritizing Cayman unit while putting India expansion (Bangalore/Chennai) on hold was a dampener. Fresh promoter pledging (10% of promoter shareholding) could also act as an overhang for the stock performance. Kumar Gaurav

Inexpensive valuations drive our BUY rating

We cut our FY2021E EBITDA by 9% to factor in weak 2H performance and tweak our FY2022- 23E estimates by 2%. Revise Fair Value to Rs220 (from Rs225 earlier). BUY.

In-line quarter; valuations expensive. Endurance Technologies reported consolidated CMP (`): 1,483 EBITDA of Rs3.5 bn (+35% yoy) in 3QFY21, which was in line with our expectations. Fair Value (`): 1,200 We expect the company to outperform the domestic two-wheeler industry and EU PV BSE-30: 51,309 industry growth led by strong order wins. However, we believe the company’s strong earnings growth potential is already priced in. Downgrade to SELL on expensive valuations. FV revised to Rs1,200 (from Rs1,020 earlier).

3QFY21 consolidated EBITDA was in line with our estimate

Endurance Technologies reported 3QFY21 consolidated EBITDA of Rs3.5 bn (+35% yoy) in 3QFY21, in line with our estimate. Consolidated net revenues increased by 24% yoy to Rs20.4 bn (6% above estimates) led by (1) 32% yoy increase in standalone operations, (2) 4% yoy decline in European business revenues (in EUR terms) and (3) positive impact of exchange fluctuations (appreciation of EUR against INR) in 3QFY21. Revenues in India business increased by 32% in 3QFY21 led by (1) >20% yoy growth with , HMSI, TVS Motors, Yamaha India, Royal Enfield & Kia Motors and (3) 28% yoy increase in aftermarket segment. Standalone EBITDA margin came in at 17% (+290 bps yoy and -100 bps qoq), 90 bps below our estimate due to RM pressures. Gross margin declined by 210 bps qoq due to a steep increase in Steel and Aluminum prices. Also, subsidiaries’ EBITDA margin declined by 220 bps yoy due to (1) negative operating leverage and (2) an inferior product mix in 3QFY21. Consolidated reported net profit came in at Rs1.9 bn (+53% yoy) in 3QFY21, which was in line with our estimate. The company incurred exceptional loss of Rs112 mn related to VRS for all eligible permanent workmen at one of its plants located in Aurangabad.

Increase our FY2022-23 consolidated EPS estimates by 7-9%; downgrade to SELL

We have increased our FY2022-23 consolidated EPS estimates by 7-9% led by (1) higher revenue growth assumptions in the standalone business and (2) 10-20 bps increase in the consolidated EBITDA margin assumptions due to cost-cutting initiatives taken up by the company. We believe the company will continue to outperform the two-wheeler industry in the domestic market and PV industry in the European market led by strong order-wins across OEMs in both Indian (due to stricter safety norms in 2W segment) and overseas market. However, we believe the current Hitesh Goel stock price captures the strong growth potential of the company over the next two-three years. The stock trades at 22.8X our FY2023E consolidated EPS, which we believe is expensive. Rishi Vora Downgrade to SELL and revise Fair Value to Rs1,200 (Rs1,020 earlier) based on 20X March 2023E EPS for standalone operations (from 20X September 2022E EPS earlier) and 12X March 2023E EPS for subsidiaries (from 12X September 2022E EPS earlier). We ascribe 20X multiple of standalone business in line with P/E multiple for Bajaj Auto due to higher 2W export volumes assumptions over the medium-term. [email protected] Contact: +91 22 6218 6427
