Capital Goods and Defence - Q1FY22 Quarterly Preview Earnings bounce from Q1FY21 lows Following a sharp demand recovery in Q4FY21, Q1FY22 was expected to begin on a positive note; however, growth was disrupted due to the second wave of the pandemic. Despite this, the downturn was relatively well- managed because companies had prior experience managing labor migration, supply chain disruption, and inventory management. Consequently, new projects fell 13.4% sequentially for the quarter, to Rs1.55trn, according to CMIE. Furthermore, the increase in commodity prices (which is now normalizing) has undoubtedly impacted margins; as a result, companies are focusing on automation and digitalization to increase efficiencies and mitigate the impact. Notably, there has been a structural shift in how businesses operate, with customers willing to pay a premium for greater energy efficiency/ better quality. Overall, recovery was witnessed in Renewables, Electronics, Metal, and Cement while investments in the Energy sector was deferred. Export markets are doing well as Covid-19 impact was waning across the geographies. Within our Capital Goods universe, we expect Revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of (excluding L&T) 48%/123%/152% YoY respectively owing to a favorable base and better adoption to 2nd wave of pandemic. EBITDA margin (ex-L&T) is likely to expand by ~395bps YoY, due to better operating leverage, favorable base, price hikes, and cost control & better efficiencies. L&T’s order inflow is expected at ~Rs300bn in Q1FY22, led by Power T&D, Heavy Civil Infra & Water sectors. It is likely to report Revenue/ EBITDA growth of 47%/114% YoY respectively. In defence sector, we witness noteworthy DAC approval for a marquee submarine order worth ~Rs430bn which will most likely to be split between MDL and L&T, in our view. In addition, as part of a major push to develop an ecosystem in India, the government announced the second list of 108 items subject to import embargo. Furthermore, in the aftermath of the recent drone attack, we anticipate that drone technologies will gain traction, putting HAL and BHE at the forefront. Notably, BHE has guided a healthy growth rate of 15-17% for FY22E, while HAL is expecting an order inflow worth Rs400bn+ in FY22E. Among the defence coverage universe, we expect Revenue/EBITDA/PAT growth of 80%/ 175%/ 234% YoY in Q1FY22. The Plant Load factor (April-May) stood at 71.1%, much higher than 53.7% Umesh Raut a year ago, for NTPC it was 72%. In a major move, the GoI approved a VP - Research package of more than Rs3trn for strengthening the distribution sector to +91 22 40969753 accommodate rising renewables and improve reliability. Moreover, a sector [email protected] is witnessing structural reforms with the draft Electricity Amendment Bill where some of the key things it talks of are a) removing cross subsidy among Tanay Rasal users, b) widening scope for private participation through distribution sub- Associate +91 22 40969753 licensees, and c) States to provide subsidy through DBT to discoms. [email protected] July 06, 2021 DART View Given the pandemic's impact on Q1FY22, and the worst affected Q1FY21, it's difficult to envisage how growth will pan out. Nevertheless, we continue to prefer companies which can stand the test of time backed by strong diversified order book, execution capabilities, healthy balance sheet & better working capital management under capital goods coverage. Hence we prefer L&T, Cummins, Siemens, and ABB Power Products & Systems. In the Defence sector, we prefer companies with a strong order backlog, healthy execution visibility, and improved earnings traction. Hence, we prefer Hindustan Aeronautics, Bharat Electronics, Mazagon Dock, and GRSE.

PAT EPS (Rs) Key Assumptions Companies Q1FY22E YoY (%) Q1FY22E YoY (%) Q1FY22E YoY (bps) Q1FY22E YoY (%) Q1FY22E . We anticipate a 20% YoY increase in revenues, supported by 15%/ 5% YoY increase in volumes/ realization. Realizations are expected to improve as AIA 6,989 20.4 1,433 16.0 20.5 (78) 1,277 (1.2) 13.5 higher Ferrochrome prices would be passed Engineering on to customers. Key things to watch would be clients addition & outlook on development activities. Improving oil prices bode well for HWA because ordering from O&G will gain traction. The sales growth is expected to be impacted Honeywell owing to a global shortage of 7,974 8.3 1,611 25.9 20.2 282 1,258 28.3 142.3 Automation semiconductors, which are primarily used in the production of field instruments such as transmitters, PLCs, and VFDs. Margin is expected to expand YoY mainly due to reduction in travel cost. Powergen/Industrials/Exports/Distribution revenue are expected to grow by 213%/175%/154%/64% YoY respectively. Margin expansion YoY is expected due to Cummins 11,540 129.5 1,673 8,569.9 14.5 1,412 1,722 888.5 5.2 price hike, and improved sales mix. The management's guidance on pricing actions, update on CPCB-4 norm implementation, and demand outlook would be key monitorable.

We expect RA/EL/MO/IA segment to grow by 91%/62%/47%/45% YoY respectively. We anticipate strong delivery momentum across the divisions, as well as an increase in services revenue. Margin expansion on YoY basis would be led by better cost control measure, however, ABB India * 15,324 55.5 1,103 370.7 7.2 482 816 452.9 3.8 we expect slight pressure on margin on QoQ basis owing to shortage of semiconductors. We are assuming normalized tax rate 25.2% vs higher tax rate of 31.1% in Q1FY21. Key monitorable would be commentary on short cycle order and impact of semiconductor shortage on Robotics and Motion business.
