Fighting hard but not in control of its destiny; reinitiate with ADD. After being Price (`): 14 compliance-restricted the past few months, we reinitiate our coverage on VIL with an Fair Value (`): 16 ADD rating and a fair value of Rs16. We found the company’s 4QFY19 earnings print a BSE-30: 37,319 mixed on headline numbers and reasonably good as far as delivery on controllable variables (cost synergies, network integration, etc.) is concerned. Prognosis remains uncertain with several plausible scenarios that can play out. Our fair value of Rs16 and corresponding ADD rating is based on one of the many plausible scenarios.

4QFY19 earnings print – a couple of hits and a couple of misses

VIL reported consolidated revenues of Rs117.8 bn for 4QFY18, flattish qoq. EBITDA, adjusted for Rs2 bn one-off in reported numbers, stood at Rs15.9 bn, up from Rs11.37 bn with bulk of the qoq EBITDA increase coming from build-up of cost synergies – these stood at Rs12.8 bn for 4Q versus Rs7.5 bn for 3Q. Recurring PAT loss stood at Rs39 bn, marginally lower than recurring loss of Rs42 bn in 3Q, aided by higher EBITDA. Quick look at how VIL’s 4QFY19 performance tracks on the key monitorables –

 Revenue performance, absolute and relative – flattish qoq revenues implying a higher per- day revenue (90 days in 4Q versus 92 in 3Q) is an improvement from the declining trends seen for the past many quarters. However – (a) growth print is weaker than that reported by Bharti (+4% qoq) as well as R-Jio (+7% qoq) and hence weak on a relative basis, and (b) revenue performance was aided by accretion from introduction of ‘minimum recharge construct’; revenues outside this remained under pressure.

 In-market competitiveness – even as Bharti has not disclosed its 4QFY19 operating parameters yet, we believe VIL’s sequential MBB/LTE net adds (2.3 mn/5.4 mn) as well as data volume growth (+9% qoq) were weaker than both Bharti and R-Jio. VIL’s LTE network still lags peers’ on coverage and capacity and this could continue to hurt competitiveness.

 Cost synergy delivery – with Rs51 bn annualized cost synergy delivered within three quarters

of merger against a target of Rs84 bn by 1QFY21, VIL has done a good job on this front. Rohit Chordia

 Other integration aspects – network integration progress has impressed even as the larger circles are yet to be integrated. Front-end integration is now done and the company has Aniket Sethi signed a new IT deal with IBM. Good progress, overall, with no visible mishaps.

Reinitiate coverage with ADD rating and fair value of Rs16/share

From Rs4 to Rs40, we can present a plausible scenario for any fair value for VIL. We continue to refrain from taking an extreme view, either way and build a slow improvement in our model.

EOP net debt jumps Rs59 bn qoq to Rs1.18 tn; cash burn pace to rise

VIL burnt cash at the pace of Rs20 bn/month in 4QFY19. We do note that 4QFY19 sees adverse working capital swing on account of advance payment of regulatory charges. Even adjusted for the same, with capex likely to rise (to Rs40-45 bn a quarter from Rs32 bn in 4QFY19), we believe VIL’s cash burn pace could remain at around Rs180-200 bn per annum assuming no market repair (no price increase, in other words). Our math assumes 100% delivery on cost synergy targets and bakes in the negative impact of net domestic IC EBITDA going down to zero from Jan 1, 2020. Current cash balance (Rs 76 bn), right issue proceeds (Rs250 bn) and likely proceeds from Indus take and fiber asset sales can support the expected cash burn pace for just about two years.

Our forecasts bake in modest increases in ARPU led by subscriber mix improvement in FY2020E and modest pricing uptick in FY2021E

Our revenue and EBITDA forecasts for FY2020E/ 2021E stand at Rs475/480 bn and Rs100/145 bn, respectively. Low revenue growth in FY2021E is on account of IC revenues going down to zero from 4QFY20. As highlighted earlier, we bake in 100% delivery on targeted cost synergies. Our ARPU (including IC) assumptions for FY2020E and FY2021E stand at Rs113/sub/month and Rs112, respectively, as opposed to Rs104 reported in 4QFY19. On an ex-IC (comparable) basis, ARPU assumption stands at Rs101 and Rs111 for FY2020E and FY2021E, respectively, as opposed to Rs89 (estimated) in 4QFY19. Part of ARPU increase in FY2020E is on account of the sharp decline in subs base in 2HFY19. On an adjusted basis, ARPU increase assumed for FY2020E is roughly Rs6 over FY2019 levels.

We bake in capex of Rs170 bn for FY2020E, in line with the company’s guidance (Rs270 bn in FY2019 and FY2020 combined; Rs100 bn spent in FY2019). We keep the capex at similar levels in FY2021E as well. Net debt rises back to Rs1.15 tn by end-FY2021E with our EBITDA and capex assumptions; net debt to TTM EBITDA on forecasted numbers stands at around 8X at end-FY2021E.

Rs16 FV based on 9X FY2023E EBITDA discounted back to March 2020

Tough-to-forecast timing, pace and extent of pricing recovery (if it happens at all; that’s an added uncertainty) in the sector makes fair value math challenging for companies in the sector. Relatively weaker (versus peers) balance sheet and in-market competitiveness makes the exercise even more challenging for VIL. These challenges notwithstanding, our remit is to arrive at and publish a point fair value estimate and we duly do so. Exhibit 4 depicts the math.

Key takeaways from the earnings call

 Network integration progressing well. Network integration continues at a swift pace and has been done in 10 circles – West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, North East, J&K, Bihar and Punjab along with part of the Delhi circle. Network capacity in these circles has increased 34% qoq post integration. The company is seeing higher data traffic growth in these circles which is driving higher revenue growth. The company has already removed surplus equipment on 24,000 sites out of the total 67,000 co-located sites and has also exited 9,900 low utilization sites. They expect capacity to increase further by 30% in the next quarter. To augment capacity, the company has added 8,915 4G TDD sites during the quarter and have also deployed massive MIMO on around 2,000 sites in select locations.

 Calibrated investments in network infrastructure. Company is executing its network investments by planning at a district level and prioritizing regions, which have higher revenue potential and superior current competition positioning of VIL. They have also deployed massive MIMO on around 2,000 sites in key locations. Their current 4G population coverage reaches 65% compared to less than 50% in August. The company seeks 4G coverage for 1 bn pop by end-FY2020.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 3 Telecommunication Services Vodafone Idea

 Strategies to drive ARPU usage. For driving up ARPU, company has initiated several measures. (a) Minimum ARPU plans of Rs35 (despite leading to loss of customers having ARPU of Rs0-10). (b) Introduced plans of Rs119 offering unlimited voice along with 1GB/month, enticing users to smartphone data consumption. (c) Continued content partnership to drive adoption of higher ARPU plans. (d) In line with Bharti Airtel’s decision to remove Rs299 postpaid plan, VIL has also indicated they may consider the same but may do it on staggered manner.

 Cost reduction targets. While the management clarified that it will be difficult to realize synergy benefits beyond the initial guidance of Rs84 bn, there are several additional cost control measures they can target. These would be looked at in due course. Focus at this point remains delivery of targeted merger cost synergies.

 Other key points. (a) Capex for 4FY19 stood at Rs32.3 bn taking FY2019 capex to Rs102.2 bn. The company maintained its FY2019-20E capex guidance of Rs270 bn. (b) Net IUC revenues for 4QFY19 was just a little over Rs4 bn compared to Rs4.5 bn in 3QFY19. This will go to zero from January 2020. Secondly, interconnect costs for the quarter has increased due to higher international costs. (c) Duplication of the retail distribution network has been removed to a large extent. (d) VIL’s share of 4G smartphone incremental market share should be marginally lower than peers in 4QFY19 after being almost similar to peers in 3QFY19.

Domestic revenues grew 10% yoy (volume-led) while export revenues Fair Value (`): 10,700 declined 9% yoy. Weak margin print led to EBITDA growing a modest 5% yoy, 9% BSE-30: 37,319 below estimate. Nestle’s performance is in line with the trends visible in the peers’ earnings prints thus far – slowing overall growth with faster deceleration in rural categories. We cut our CY2019-21E EBITDA and EPS forecasts by 3-4% and 1.6-2.1%, respectively. Fair value stands revised down to Rs10,700 (from Rs11,100). REDUCE stays.

4QCY19 print – revenue growth slows down to a six-quarter low

Net sales grew 9% yoy to Rs29.8 bn, 5% below expectations. Domestic revenue growth was higher at 10% (albeit a six-quarter low) while export revenues declined 9% yoy on account of decline in coffee exports to Turkey. Gross margins came in at 58.2%, down 56 bps yoy; we had expected flattish GMs. Gross profit growth stood at 8% yoy. EBITDA margin decline was a sharper 83 bps yoy to 24.4%, 100 bps below our expectations. EBITDA grew 5% yoy to Rs7.29 bn. We do note that adspends likely normalized in 1QCY19 after a sharp surge in 4QCY18. While the company does not disclose quarterly adspends, other expenses’ growth of 9% yoy suggests there wasn’t an adspend surge in 1Q.

Recurring PAT grew 9% yoy to Rs4.63 bn, 8% below our estimate of Rs5.06 bn. EPS stood at Rs48/share. EPS growth was ahead of EBITDA growth on account of a sharp 30% jump in other income, 6% yoy decline in D&A and flattish gross finance cost.

To launch organic food products

Continuing its new launch aggression, the company’s earnings press release indicates that the company intends to foray into the small-but-fast-growing organic food products segment. Even as the press release is silent on what the specific products could be, it does suggest the launch should happen in the next few months. From a quarter standpoint, the press release calls out – Rohit Chordia (a) predominantly volume-led growth in domestic revenues, (b) decline in coffee exports to Turkey, and (c) strong performance in the chocolates and prepared dishes portfolio led by Kitkat, Munch, and Maggi. Interestingly, the press release termed market momentum as Jaykumar Doshi ‘strong’. This is despite 1Q domestic sales growing being the lowest in the past six quarters. More importantly, we wonder if 10% growth qualifies as strong for the Street.

Aniket Sethi Cut EBITDA estimates by 3-4% and lower fair value to Rs10,700; REDUCE stays

While below expectations, Nestle’s earnings print is healthy on a relative basis and could mean the stock remains a sector outperformer. Management commentary on strong market momentum would support the same as well. We do not see much absolute value at CMP. REDUCE stays. March-2020 fair value stands revised down to Rs10,700 (from 11,100).

10 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH BUY SRF (SRF) Speciality Chemicals MAY 14, 2019 RESULT Coverage view: Neutral Stellar performance. SRF delivered strong results in 4QFY19 driven by robust growth in specialty chemicals and packaging films segments. The management maintained its Price (`): 2,600 optimism on growth trajectory seeking comfort from healthy demand in end-markets. Fair Value (`): 2,850 We raise our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 11-15% factoring in modestly higher BSE-30: 37,319 revenues and further expansion in margins. We retain BUY rating on the stock with a revised fair value of Rs2,850, rolling forward to March 2021E EPS.

Strong growth in revenues across all segments; margins surge in packaging and chemicals SRF’s 4QFY19 results were well ahead of our expectations, primarily led by robust performance of chemicals and polymers segment, which surprised positively on revenue growth as well as margin expansion. Reported revenues jumped 29% yoy and 5% qoq to Rs20.72 bn, 3% above our estimate, led by a strong 66% growth in chemicals and polymers revenues and healthy 18% growth in packaging film revenues. EBITDA increased 39% yoy and 14% qoq to Rs3.88 bn, 15% above our estimate, benefiting from lower operating costs, which increased at a pace slower than revenues. Net income increased 54% yoy and 15% qoq to Rs1.91 bn (EPS of Rs33.2), 40% above our estimate, further boosted by lower depreciation and modestly higher other income. SRF delivered a robust 39% yoy growth in net income to Rs6.42 bn (EPS of Rs111.7) in FY2019 led by a robust all-round performance across business segments.  Robust growth in chemicals revenues; margins rebound to 11-quarter high. Chemicals revenues grew robustly by 66% yoy and 43% qoq to Rs8.4 bn reflecting likely strong off- take in end markets; segment EBIT jumped 80% yoy and 117% qoq to Rs1.66 bn reflecting ~670 bps qoq expansion in margins to 19.8%, highest in past 11 quarters. The company attributed its strong performance to (1) robust growth in specialty chemicals segment reflecting recovery in global ag-chem sector, which is expected to sustain, (2) higher volumes and realizations for refrigerants, and (3) increase in chloromethanes sales. The management indicated that the brief unplanned shutdown at Dahej plant impacted operations in April 2019; however, the shortfall is likely to be recovered over 5-6 months.  Healthy growth in revenues and surge in margins for packaging films. Packaging films revenues increased 18% yoy, but declined 11% qoq to Rs6.2 bn. EBIT jumped 46% yoy and 20% qoq to Rs1.06 bn as margins expanded by ~440 bps qoq to 17%. New plants in Hungary and Thailand remain on track to commission in the coming months. The company

indicated that healthy demand outlook for BOPET may keep the global capacity utilization Tarun Lakhotia elevated, notwithstanding new capacity addition in the near term.  Weaker margins for technical textiles. Technical textiles revenues increased 4% yoy to Rs4.8 bn; however, EBIT declined 16% yoy to Rs563 mn reflecting ~275 bps yoy contraction Hemang Khanna in margins to 11.7% amid inventory loss and lower sales volumes for tire cord fabric. Raise FY2020-21 EPS estimates by 11-15% We raise our FY2020-21E EPS estimates by 11-15% factoring in higher growth in revenues as well as further expansion in margins for chemicals and polymer business. Our SoTP-based fair value increases to Rs2,850 (from Rs2,300), as we roll forward to March 2021E estimates.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 15 ADD Union Bank (UNBK) Banks MAY 14, 2019 RESULT Coverage view: Attractive

Improving, albeit at a pace slower than peers. Union Bank reported a higher-than- Price (`): 79 expected loss on account of higher provisions for bad loans to reduce net NPL ratios. Fair Value (`): 105 Decline in gross and net NPLs was lower than peers though directionally we are seeing BSE-30: 37,319 improvement. The underlying theme on corporate banks remains intact and we see Union Bank being one of the beneficiaries. Inexpensive valuations, despite dilution, drive our positive view. Maintain ADD (fair value unchanged).

NII growth was solid at 19% yoy on the back of marginal NIM (reported) expansion by 5 bps qoq and 35 bps yoy while loan growth was muted at 4% yoy.  Maintain ADD with Non-interest income adjusted for income tax refund in 4QFY18 saw strong growth at 23% yoy fair value at Rs105 driven by strong growth in fee income, recovery in written-off accounts and revival in treasury (unchanged) gains. Operating expenses increased 20% yoy led by wage-related provision (Rs600 mn) and employee stock schemes (Rs1.4 bn). Adjusted for the same, the cost-income ratio was down 100 bps qoq/up 160 bps yoy. Credit cost spiked in 4QFY19 to 7.1% (up 440 bps qoq). The management incurred additional provisions worth Rs23 bn (divergence in provisioning for 4QFY19). Deposit growth was muted in 4QFY19 (CASA ratio increased marginally to 36%).

Asset quality stable but not a material improvement, as expected

Overall gross and net NPL ratio was stable qoq, which was lower than we had expected considering the performance in 1HFY19 and the performance that we have seen from other pubic banks that have reported so far. Gross NPL ratio declined ~10 bps qoq to 15.7% and net NPL ratio declined 15 bps qoq to 8.3% of loans. Slippages were higher at 3.8% of loans and were partly led non-fund based exposures and one large account in the thermal sector (IL&FS). Overall SMA-2 remains unchanged at ~2.5% of loans. Directionally we are seeing an improvement in headline asset quality led by lower slippages, which is positive and we expect M B Mahesh, CFA traction to accelerate as we see resolutions picking up pace in FY2020. The management is guiding for gross NPLs at 12%, net NPLs at 6% and credit costs at 2% for FY2020. Nischint Chawathe Maintain ADD; improvement in NPL ratios to see valuation expansion

We maintain our ADD rating and value the bank at Rs105 (unchanged). At our fair value, we Dipanjan Ghosh see the bank trading at 0.9X book and 6X March 2021E EPS for RoEs moving closer to 13-15% in the medium term. The bank has used a substantial part of the capital infusion for improving its net NPL ratios in 4QFY19 and we expect higher resolutions to drive the convergence in book Shrey Singh and adjusted book value and aid valuation expansion from current inexpensive valuation.

Stressed loans decline ~160 bps qoq to 7.5%

Gross NPL dropped 70 bps qoq to 15% owing to increase in slippages from the agriculture and corporate book while recoveries were relatively lower sequentially. Overall stressed assets (NNPL + standard restructured + SDR + S4A + 5/25) decreased 160 bps qoq to 8.2%. net NPLs saw a steep dip by 140 bps qoq to 6.9%. The company has 10 accounts under 5/25 worth Rs27 bn (owing to slippage of power account under overall IL&FS exposure) and 2 accounts under S4A worth Rs660 mn. On absolute basis, SMA-2 book declined to Rs90 bn (2.8% of loans) from Rs110 bn qoq (3.4% of loans). 40% of the SMA-2 book is retail in nature and the management does not expect significant slippages from this book. Corporate SMA-2 saw sharp decline to Rs2 bn from Rs3 bn qoq. ~Rs7 bn slipped from SMA-2 book in 4QFY19. Provision coverage ratio (including technical write-off) improved 740 bps qoq and 900 bps yoy to 66%.

Slippages increased 30 bps qoq to 4.1% owing to rise in slippages in the corporate (up 70 bps qoq to 4.8%) and agriculture (up 130 bps qoq to 6.3%) books. Corporate slippages increased owing to slippage of power SPV of IL&FS (Rs8.9 bn; 110 bps of loans) and additional Rs1,850 mn of slippages from the road space (20 bps of loans). SME slippages were elevated at 3.4%; similar to previous quarters. Management remained cautious in this segment going ahead. Retail slippages saw significant improvement (down 60 bps qoq to 1.5%). Retail slippages were the lowest in the past four quarters.

The company has improved credit profile of corporate borrowers. Lending to A and above rated borrowers increased to >65% (up ~100 bps qoq) in March 2019 from ~60% in March 2017. With respect to lending to NBFCs (total exposure of Rs370 bn, ~11% of gross advances), ~99% exposure to NBFCs and HFCs is rated A and above.

Union Bank has exposure to 8 accounts worth Rs60 bn and 15 accounts worth Rs37 bn for accounts under NCLT list 1 and 2, respectively as of March 2019. The company maintains provision coverage ratio of ~70% and ~80%, respectively on these accounts. The cumulative provisions on these accounts are >70%.

The management is comfortable on Rs40 bn of exposure to SEBs. They do not foresee any deterioration in asset quality from this portfolio going ahead.

We forecast GNPL to reduce to 10% by FY2021E driven by drop in slippages to ~1.8% over FY2020-21E. Recoveries of various stressed corporate sector assets will remain a key moni- torable.

Muted growth in gross advances in 4QFY19

Loan growth was muted at 4% yoy in 4QFY19 on the back of 2% yoy decline in corporate loans (including international advances). Retail loan growth slowed down (up 15% yoy/flat qoq). Within the retail portfolio, the housing loan portfolio saw modest rise at 15% yoy to Rs281 bn (flat qoq). The share of retail loans in the overall portfolio increased to 18% in 4QFY19 (up 180 bps yoy). Vehicle loans saw muted growth at 5% yoy. LAP and other retail loan portfolio saw a sharp spike in growth at 25% yoy (on a low base). Agriculture loans and SME loans saw moderate growth at ~5% yoy, respectively in 4QFY19. Within the SME book, 75% of the exposure is towards micro and small enterprises. ~65% of agricultural loans is towards lending to small and marginal farmers.

We expect loan growth to improve at ~10% CAGR over FY2018-21E driven by modest performance in SME and agriculture loans. Retail loans will drive majority growth while corporate lending is expected to pick pace in the medium term.

Marginal improvement in NIM

Reported NIM saw a marginal increase by ~5 bps qoq to 2.3% on the back of sharp decline in cost of funds. Reported cost of funds declined 25 bps qoq to 4.6%. There was, however, drag on margins from yields. Reported yield on advances decreased ~25 bps qoq to 7.5% owing to increase in interest reversals and change in loan mix towards higher share of retail products and lending to better-rated corporates.

Yields are expected to improve going ahead as recoveries from various NCLT cases pick pace in FY2020E. There will be marginal drag on yields driven by change in loan mix towards higher share of low-yielding retail loans. We maintain a positive view on NIM driven by higher recoveries and lower interest reversals. We forecast NIM to improve to 2.4% by FY2020E from 2.1% in FY2018 and further improve to 2.5% by FY2021E.

Muted deposit growth for fourth consecutive quarter

Growth in total deposits was muted at 2% yoy. While CASA growth was moderate at 8% yoy in 4QFY19, term deposits declined 1% yoy. Modest growth in CASA was driven by robust rise in SA at 8% yoy, broadly similar to past two quarters while CA revived to 6% yoy growth. CASA ratio increased 60 bps qoq and 200 bps yoy to 36%.

We forecast 7% CAGR in CASA over FY2019-21E and stable CASA of 34% during the same period.

Other highlights of the quarter

 Strong growth in fee income. Non-interest income decreased 15% yoy in 4QFY19 owing to one-off income from income tax refund in the base quarter. Adjusted for the same, non-interest income increased ~25% yoy on the back of sharp rise in recoveries and fee income (up 30% yoy; adjusted for income tax refund in base quarter). Treasury gains revived to 40% yoy. Recovery from written-off accounts saw a sharp rise in 4QFY19 to Rs1.4 bn (up 70% yoy).

 Elevated cost ratios. Cost-income ratios increased 400 bps qoq to 55% (flat yoy; adjusted for income tax refund in 4QFY18) driven by strong growth in operating expenses at 20% yoy. Other expenses increased 20% yoy despite a gradual slowdown in business expansion (branches declined by 1 in 4QFY19 and 10 in FY2019) as the company has invested in improving collections and technology initiatives. Employee expenses increased 20% yoy (up 13% yoy; adjusted for provision of wage revision worth Rs600 mn in 4QFY19). There were additional on-off expenses worth Rs1.4 bn on account of the employee stock schemes.

 RWA declined 3% yoy. Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) ratio is comfortable at 11.8% with tier-1 ratio of 9.5%. RWA dropped by 3% yoy compared to growth in gross advances at 4% yoy showing a gradually improving credit profile of borrowers and rise in share of the retail mix.

24 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH REDUCE Just Dial (JUST) Internet Software & Services MAY 14, 2019 RESULT, CHANGE IN RECO. Coverage view: Attractive

Revenue trajectory improves but challenges remain. JUST reported an in-line Price (`): 562 4QFY19 performance with acceleration in pace of revenue growth to 16% yoy. While Fair Value (`): 590 this acceleration is on expected line and a positive, sustainability remains questionable. BSE-30: 37,319 We remain cautious; recent stock price underperformance drives a change in rating to REDUCE (from SELL) with a revised fair value of Rs590.

Company data and valuation summary Just Dial Stock data Forecasts/Valuations 2019 2020E 2021E 52-week range (Rs) (high,low) 677-401 EPS (Rs) 31.9 31.3 33.0 Market Cap.

Yield (%) 0.0 0.6 0.6

Improving Tier II/III penetration drives higher revenue growth

Just Dial's revenue growth expectedly accelerated to 15.9% yoy, from 12.4% yoy in 1HFY19 and 15.2% in 3QFY19. This was driven by a 12.5% increase in paid campaigns and 3% increase in pricing. Growth in deferred revenues was 21.7%, in large part due to longer duration contracts. Further, proportion of revenues from Tier II/III cities continues to increase, implying greater reliance on campaign addition in future to boost revenue growth.

Cost controls drove a meaningful margin improvement in FY2019

EBITDA of Rs588 mn was 5% ahead of our estimates, though the outperformance was explained by a qoq decline of Rs34 mn in ESOP expense. Margins expanded by a sharp 460 bps yoy in FY2019 due to acceleration in revenue growth and cost control. Key cost savings came from renegotiation of AMC contracts (such as server storage), telecom and SMS cost. We believe JUST has realized most efficiencies in FY2019, and operating costs may not decline further from here.

Pace of user addition healthy though app downloads continue to trend down

JUST’s unique visitor count increased 25% yoy to 139 mn. Both the desktop and voice-based platforms continued to decline yoy in user base, with mobile contributing to the growth. Pace of app downloads have declined over the past few quarters, indicating reliance on the mobile website. We reckon JUST would need to increase its ad-spends as well as add more features and services to improve mind-share among users.

Stay cautious; stock underperformance drives a rating upgrade to REDUCE Kawaljeet Saluja JUST’s focus on specific verticals as well as relatively underpenetrated Tier II/III cities is resulting in improved revenue trajectory. However, threat from better funded rivals remains, and hence sustenance of current revenue streams is uncertain. Structural growth theme remains on a weak Garima Mishra footing. We revise our fair value to Rs590 (Rs625 earlier) and fine-tune our target multiple. We upgrade our rating on the stock to REDUCE (from SELL) on the back of 10% stock correction in the past two months.

JUST’s unearned revenue base increased 22% yoy, similar to the increase in 4QFY18. We note that JUST’s revenue growth, however, has not managed to catch up with the pace of growth in deferred revenue, implying that some contracts are longer-dated in nature, and revenues from those may be realized over a period of more than a year.

Other takeaways from the earnings call

 Campaign addition. Contribution from tier II/III cities continues to increase. These cities contributed 27% to topline and 47% to campaigns in 4QFY19, and their contribution is increasing every quarter. More than 60% of the incremental revenue growth is being contributed by these cities.

 Realizations. On a blended basis, there will be downward pressure on realizations as Tier II/III contribution increases. However, JUST will try to arrest some of the realization decline by focusing on more bundled offerings. Further, given the generally low ticket price of contracts in Tier II/III cities, JUST believes it will be easier to pass on price hikes on contract renewals.

 Employee addition and cost. JUST has added ~1,300 sales employees in FY2019, and expects these employees to fully contribute in FY2020. Revenue per sales employee and revenue per SME are the two metrics evaluated internally. There is room to increase sales force (even 2-3X the current team size) and drive revenue growth. There is pressure on employee wages as demand for FOS type of employees is increasing as delivery platforms are adding employees at a brisk pace. JUST has, however, not seen any deterioration in its employee attrition metrics.

 Mobile traffic. 90%+ of mobile traffic is accounted for by the mobile website. JUST attempts to remain platform agnostic, and thus the app and mobile site are replica of each other. Ideally, the attempt would be to have more aps installed, but JUST will not pay large costs for downloads.

 Deferred revenue. Deferred revenue should be best evaluated on a yoy basis. The strong trend in deferred revenues in the past few quarters should gradually start reflecting in revenue growth over the next few quarters. There is no receivable component in the deferred revenue figure and this is basis the actual collections received.

 Cash. Rs2.2 bn of buyback was completed earlier in January 2019. The next buyback can thus happen after one year. This is the most tax efficient route of returning cash to shareholders. JUST chose the tender route to carry out the buyback due to the higher permissible limit (25% of equity + free reserves) compared to the 10% cap under the market buyback route.

 Future strategy. JUST is focusing on the ‘Beyond Search’ offering such as JD Social, JD Pay and other curated content for users. Most users are discovering these features by accident, and JUST is looking to build a critical mass of users to further improve its offering.

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 33 BUY Power Grid (PWGR) Electric Utilities MAY 15, 2019 UPDATE Coverage view: Attractive Irony of strength. Media reports highlighted private sector players raising concerns Price (`): 182 with the Competition Commission, that they are unable to compete with Powergrid on account of the latter’s inherent strengths driven primarily by low cost of capital and Fair Value (`): 235 scale benefits of a large extant asset base. Without getting into the merits of the BSE-30: 37,319 concerns, we use the opportunity to evaluate Powergrid’s experience in competing with the private sector for tariff based competitive bids (TBCB).

Powergrid has won 39% of the projects by value and 35% by revenue over the past six years

Powergrid has won 11 out of 41 projects bid so far under the TBCB route, sizing up 39% of the total projects by value and 35% of the projects by revenue. PWGR’s run-rate of winning projects has improved in more recent years, in an environment wherein the number of bids for projects has also been reducing. We further highlight the consolidation in the TBCB space, with Adani Transmission having acquired projects from two previously active participants—Reliance Transmission and GMR, while Essel group that had previously been an aggressive bidder grapples with financial constraints on account of investments made in the infrastructure space at large. Adani Transmission, Strelite, L&T and Essel group have continued to be active participants under TBCB.

Powergrid has advantageous scale compared to private sector players

Powergrid has an asset base of Rs1.8 tn, much larger than that of private sector players (Exhibit 5), incubated under the regulated regime over the past few decades. The size and stability of its portfolio enables PWGR to enjoy (1) lower cost of debt compared to peers, (2) favorable cost and payment terms from contractors, and (3) lower operating and maintenance cost.

Street concerns on potential dilution of earnings profile under tariff-based competitive bids have been contradicted so far, as PWGR reports healthy double-digit RoEs for projects commissioned under TBCB (Exhibit 4). The improved return profile is aided by (1) lower than anticipated project cost on the back of scale benefits, (2) higher leverage of 80% unlike 70%for regulated return projects.

Attractive valuations, stable growth prospects and threatened competition Murtuza Arsiwalla Street concerns on PWGR’s ability to compete profitability under TBCB may seem unfounded as (1) TBCB will still form a very small proportion of the overall asset base, (2) PWGR is able to fend Samrat Verma off competition on the back of lower cost of capital as well as capex cost, and (3) early numbers show PWGR is doing well on the return profile even under TBCB projects. Maintain BUY rating with unchanged fair value of Rs235/share.

40 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH INDIA Economy Inflation MAY 14, 2019 UPDATE BSE-30: 37,319

Input inflation moderates. Softening of April WPI inflation was driven primarily by moderation in core and fuel inflation even as food prices continued their uptrend. Sharp moderations in both core CPI and WPI inflation are indicative of the sluggish demand in the economy. With limited room for fiscal stimuli and with softer core inflation, we believe that the MPC will likely cut the repo rate by 25-50 bps in the rest of CY2019, even though transmission of rate cuts remains the key.

WPI inflation softens to 3.07% in April

April WPI inflation moderated to 3.07% (Kotak: 2.94%, consensus: 3.0%) as against 3.18% in QUICK NUMBERS March primarily due to a moderation in fuel and manufacturing inflation even as food inflation hardened (Exhibits 1 and 2). Sequentially, WPI inflation went up by 0.8% mom (0.4% in  April WPI inflation March), consistent with the 0.5% increase observed in CPI inflation. At the wholesale level, at 3.07% food inflation showed a strong uptick of 4.9% (3.9% in March). Sequentially, food prices had a sharp uptick of 2.3% mom led by sharp gains of 17.7% in vegetables (11.1% in March) and  Core WPI inflation 9.7% in fruits (0.4% in March) (Exhibit 3). Prices of cereals, however, contracted by (-)0.3% in at 1.8% April. Additionally, fuel and power inflation moderated by 3.8% (5.4% in March). Sequentially,  Expect average there was a sharp fall in prices across electricity ((-)3.1%), furnace oil ((-)2.1%) and HSD ((-)1.2%). Primary non-food inflation firmed up by 5.2% (2.8% in March). We expect WPI FY2020 WPI at inflation to remain benign going ahead and average 3.1% in FY2020 (Exhibit 4). 3.1%; average core WPI at 1.6% Growth concerns lead to moderation in core manufacturing inflation to 1.8%  Expect MPC to cut Core WPI inflation (manufactured products excluding food products) softened to 1.8% in April rates by 25-50 bps (2.5% in March); on a sequential basis, it contracted by (-)0.1% mom. Among the in the rest of heavyweights, prices of ‘basic metals’ contracted by (-)0.4% mom while those of ‘chemicals and CY2019 chemical products’ remained unchanged. Global growth slowdown concerns are weighing on the commodity prices, which seem to have corrected marginally in April (Exhibit 5). Going ahead, we do not expect any sharp reversal in prices given the muted global demand. We expect core WPI inflation to average 1.6% in FY2020.

Benign growth-inflation outcome to create space for 25-50 bps of rate cuts

The momentum to April CPI and WPI inflation came primarily from food inflation while growth concerns led to moderation in core inflation. The growth in the economy, which had been supported primarily by consumption and government spending, has slowed considerably as pointed out by high frequency indicators. Additionally, the fiscal space to support capex in FY2020 will be limited given the tall ask from GST collections and higher revenue expenditure. As we highlighted in our May 6, 2019 report ‘Lackluster prospects for growth’, we see limited Upasna Bhardwaj impetus to economic growth and expect GDP growth to weaken to 6.8% in FY2020 from 6.9% in FY2019 (Exhibit 6). Against this backdrop, we believe that the MPC would cut the repo rate by another 25-50 bps in the rest of CY2019, although for rate cuts to be effective, Suvodeep Rakshit structural liquidity concerns will need to be addressed.
