RESULT REVIEW SELL TP: Rs 1,895 | 10% RELIANCE INDUSTRIES | Oil & Gas | 31 July 2020 Cyclicals and retail sink; RJio saves the day – downgrade to SELL Key highlights from Reliance Industries’ (RIL) Q1FY21 results: (a) EBITDA below Rohit Ahuja | Harleen Manglani estimates at Rs 169bn (–21% YoY), (b) cyclicals mixed – GRM at US$ 6.3/bbl [email protected] outperformed estimates while petchem EBITDA at Rs 44bn (–50% YoY) fell short, (c) retail EBITDA underperformed at Rs 10.8bn (–47% YoY) whereas RJio EBITDA was higher at Rs 78bn (+59% YoY) on better ARPU. RIL’s valuation has run up to 18.5x FY22E EPS, pricing in the deleveraging. Downgrade from REDUCE to SELL, with a new Sep’21 TP of Rs 1,895 (vs. Rs 1,820) on rollover. Cyclical earnings remain under pressure: Reported GRMs outperformed at Ticker/ Price RIL IN /Rs 2,109 US$ 6.3/bbl as RIL maximised utilisation and raised light distillate output. Market cap US$ 190.5bn Benchmark GRMs remain negative, implying another muted quarter in Q2 – Shares o/s 6,762mn this raises downside risk to our US$ 9/bbl GRM estimate for FY21. Demand 3M ADV US$ 526.8mn erosion due to the Covid-19 pandemic continues to pressurise cyclicals. 52wk high/low Rs 2,199/Rs 876 Promoter/FPI/DII 49%/24%/27% Petchem EBITDA at Rs 44bn underperformed estimates due to lower Source: NSE polyester chain deltas. We remain cautious on cyclicals as margin recovery may be pushed back to FY22 (from earlier expectations of H2FY21). STOCK PERFORMANCE RJio earnings surge; retail slumps: ARPU expansion to Rs 140.3 (+7% QoQ) (Rs) RIL with in-line subscriber additions (9.9mn) led to higher EBITDA for RJio at Rs 2,220 78bn. A rise in average data consumption (~9% QoQ) during the lockdown was 1,920 a primary factor in ARPU expansion. Retail business EBITDA at Rs 10.8bn 1,620 (–47% YoY) was in line, slumping due to a decline in revenues for the fashion & 1,320 1,020 lifestyle and consumer electronic segments. 720 Jul-17 Jul-19 Jul-18 Jan-19 Jan-18 Jul-20 Apr-19 Apr-18 Oct-17 Jan-20 Oct-19 Oct-18 Deleveraging well priced in: We need to see earnings traction from RIL to Apr-20 Justify the recent surge in stock price. While the company’s Rs 2tn fund raise Source: NSE (of which Rs 1.5tn was from RJio) is extraordinary, delay in the oil-to-chemicals stake sale to Aramco is a dampener. The outlook can change significantly if RIL is able to execute RJio -style s trategic stake sales for its retail business.

US and branded Africa sales were a beat while India/Asia was in line. Reported PAT stood at Rs 1.5bn. AJP is guiding for healthy operating leverage starting Q3. We retain BUY and roll over to a higher TP of Rs 1,730 (earlier Rs 1,650), based on 16x Sep’22E EV/EBITDA. US/Africa branded sales beat estimates; India/Asia in line: India sales declined Ticker/ Price AJP IN /Rs 1,512 10% YoY due to the Covid-19 impact on the acute portfolio, especially in Market cap US$ 1.8bn dermatology and ophthalmology (guided to recover from Q3 onward).

Also, SGA/R&D cost fell (Rs) AJP 12%/23% YoY due to lower activity during the Covid lockdown. This led to a 1,630 1,470 strong EBITDA margin of 33.4% (24.8% est.). Margins would moderate from 1,310 Q2 as lockdown restrictions ease and travel/promotional spends normalise. 1,150 990 Retain BUY: We expect a stable brand franchise (India and EM), US operating 830 Jul-17 Jul-19 Jul-18 Jan-19 Jan-18 leverage and capex moderation to drive a 15%+ EPS CAGR for AJP over FY20- Jul-20 Apr-19 Apr-18 Oct-17 Jan-20 Oct-19 Oct-18 Apr-20 FY23. With over 75% of FY21/FY22 EPS estimated to accrue from the branded Source: NSE business, improving FCF and 30%+ ROIC beyond FY22E, the stock has scope for valuation upsides. We marginally tweak FY21/FY22 EPS estimates on higher tax guidance of 28% (vs. 26% earlier) and roll forward to a TP of Rs 1,730.
