Volumes, however, declined 19% YoY due to weak 52-Week Range (INR) 883 / 457 cement demand in South India. 1, 6, 12 Rel. Per (%) 5/27/1 We raise our FY21/FY22E EPS by 26%/5%, factoring in a strong realization 12M Avg Val (INR M) 513 outlook on the back of a strong production discipline in South. However, we retain our Neutral rating on 12.7x FY22E EV/EBITDA pricing in growth.

This was on account of strong cement prices in RoE (%) 12.8 16.0 13.6 South India and higher share of premium products (~12% of trade sales), led RoCE (%) 9.4 11.1 10.3 Payout (%) 11.8 9.7 10.0 by an uptick in trade sales volumes. Valuations Cost/t (incl. windmills) declined to INR3,688/t (-2% YoY), led by a) lower raw P/E (x) 31.4 22.3 22.9 material cost (on improvement in the blending ratio) at INR731/t (flat YoY) P/BV (x) 3.8 3.3 2.9 EV/EBITDA(x) 18.0 12.9 12.7 and b) lower power and fuel cost at INR824/t (-17% YoY) on account of low- EV/ton (USD) 142 132 130 cost fuel inventory.

FII Includes depository receipts Highlights from management commentary The company implemented various cost reduction measures to lower overhead expenses in 2QFY21. Capacity expansion update: The integrated plant in Kurnool and 1.5mt clinker in Jayanthipuram should get commissioned by Mar’21, as guided earlier. On the other hand, the 1.0mt GU in Kurnool, along with a railway siding and 12MW WHRS, is expected to be commissioned in FY22. Railway sidings were commissioned at Kolaghat/Odisha in Sep’20/Oct’20. In Jayanthipuram, out of 27MW of proposed WHRS, a unit of 9MW was commissioned in Sep’20, while another 9MW each was due for commissioning in Dec’20 and Mar’21. Capex stood at INR6.85b for 1HFY21. Balance capex of INR8.8b would be incurred on ongoing projects.

The Ramco Cements Gross debt was down INR1.04b in 1HFY21 to INR29.20b as of Sep’20. Average cost of debt was down to 6.51% p.a. in 2QFY21 from 7.36% p.a. in 2QFY20. Valuation and view TRCL has been gaining market share in its operating regions (South/East), led by aggressive marketing and new product launches. While volumes should remain weak even in 3QFY21, we expect recovery in FY22 driving a 4.5% CAGR over FY20–22E. With higher volumes, however, we expect industry competitive intensity to be higher, which could pressure cement prices. The stock trades at 12.7x FY22E EV/EBITDA and USD130/t capacity, which are at a significant premium to peers. We value it at 12x FY22E EV/EBITDA (in line with 10-yr average) to arrive at TP of INR750. Maintain Neutral.
