WIPRO LTD

PRICE: RS.395 RECOMMENDATION: BUYTARGET PRICE: RS.470 FY12E P/E: 17.3X

Wipro's 1QFY11 results were marginally below expectations. The organicvolume growth of about 1.4% (1.9% in 4QFY11) was a dampener, reflectingthe impact of the recent management changes. The guidance of an almostflat growth in organic revenues in 2Q was a negative surprise. Margins wereslightly lower QoQ but the full impact of salary hikes and SAIC acquisitionwill moderate margins further in 2Q, we opine. Average realizations fell by1.7% (on-site) and 1.2% (off-shore) on CC basis. Wipro's volume growth haslagged peers in the recent past likely due to lower success in accountmining. The recent organizational restructuring will yield results over thenext couple of quarters, we opine.

Broader management commentary suggests increasing comfort with respectto demand and signs of a pick up in certain verticals. Wipro managementalso indicated that discretionary spends are increasing, leading to betterpipelines across businesses. The company has won two large deals in BFSItotaling to more than $500mn, which is a positive.

We modify earnings to account for the 1QFY12 results - expect FY12E EPS atRs.22.8 (Rs.24.4), impacted by lower revenue growth and margins. Wemaintain BUY rating with a price target of Rs.470 (Rs.503) based on FY12Eearnings. However, we prefer TCS and Infosys over Wipro and our exitmultiple for Wipro is at a discount to peers. Higher success in drivingincremental growth from large accounts and sustained higher margins maymake us more positive on the company. Higher-than-expected appreciationin the INR and a slower-than-anticipated recovery in user economies posedownside risks to our estimates.

Revenues : Volume growth at 1.4% disappoints. Realizations alsodown QoQn Wipro's IT Services business reported a 1.8% rise in INR terms.

n The volume growth was tepid at about 1.8%, which was below expectations.This also includes about $10mn of revenues from SAIC, which was acquired byWipro.

n Thus, organic volume growth was even lower at about 1.4%, which was muchlower than peers. Moreover, this comes on the back of a tepid 4Q were volumesgrew by 1.9% QoQ.

n Wipro has been reporting lower growth in volumes vis-à-vis industry peers overthe past few quarters and 1Q was also disappointing.

n We believe that, the recent changes to the management and execution teamresulted in this relatively lower growth rate.

n We have been cautious on Wipro's growth prospects over the past few quartersbased on the above

n The growth was muted across geographies and verticals in cc terms, though inINR terms, the growth rates were marginally higher.

n Geographically, only APAC and other emerging markets report a cc growth ofmore than 6%. Europe reported a cc growth of about 2.6%. All other geogra-phies witnessed a negative growth on a sequential basis.

n Volumes grew on the back of increased traction in the Top account, where thegrowth was about 8% in INR terms.

n However, the Top 10 clients reported flat growth, indicating challenges in thenon-Top accounts.

n The management indicated that, the de-growth in some of the major accountswas one time and not structural.

n Wipro has now 4 clients with LTM revenues of $100mn.

n Wipro has also won a few large deals from existing and new clients. The com-pany won two deals with a combined value of more than $500mn during thequarter.

n Also, the company has indicated that, the pipeline is robust with a few largedeals under negotiations.

n We understand that, there is traction in discretionary spends..

n Clients are looking at reducing costs on one hand but on the other hand, theyare looking at ways to improve growth rates and this is driving discretionaryspends.

n Wipro is witnessing higher traction in new service areas like business analytics,cloud and mobility. These form part of the focus themes for Wipro.

n About 30% of the new deals won in manufacturing vertical in 1Q are based oncloud services.

Realisations down QoQn The average realizations were down by 1.7% (on-site) and 1.2% (off-shore) dur-

ing the quarter.

n The management has indicated this to one-off factors and also to the seasonalhike in realizations during the last quarter of every fiscal.

n We view this with concern especially in the backdrop of stable and rising prices.

n The management has indicated that like-to-like pricing is stable with upwardbias in areas like analytics and ERP consulting.

n However application management and other related services are witnessing pric-ing pressures.

n Non-linear revenues at about 11% of overall revenues, are expected to providesome cushion to overall pricing in the future.

n Within the non-IT businesses, the revenues in Wipro Consumer Care and Light-ning revenues grew at about 18% YoY to Rs.7.55bn, while the IT products busi-ness reported a 21% rise on a YoY basis.

EBITDA margins - marginally lowern The EBITDA margins in 1QFY12 were marginally lower on a sequential basis.

n The company gave salary hikes during the quarter (2-3% onsite and 15-15%offshore), which impacted margins.

n The company was able to set-off part of the impact by improving efficiencies andcost rationalization.

n The company added 4,105 employees on a net basis during the quarter.

MORNING INSIGHT July 21, 2011

Guidance for 2QFY12 reflects near term challengesn Wipro has guided to a flat to 2% sequential rise in USD revenues in IT services.

n This is after excluding the impact of SAIC acquisition, which is expected to bringin $40mn in revenues as compared to $10mn in 1QFY12.

n We believe that, the recent restructuring will have an impact on near term per-formance.

n Wipro's focus on creating demand rather than reacting to demand, will likelylead to slower growth in the near term, we understand.

n We also note that, the slower growth will be for the quarter which is traditionallyone of the strongest quarters for the IT services industry.

Valuations and recommendationsn We have made suitable changes to our earnings estimates to take into account

the 1QFY12 results.

n For FY12E, we expect IT services revenues to grow by 16%. Margins are ex-pected to be marginally lower due to salary hikes and rupee appreciation.

n We expect earnings for FY12E to be Rs.22.8 per share.

n We have assumed tax rate to be 19% as against about 15.5% in FY11.

n We have accorded a discount to Wipro as compared to the valuations accordedto Infosys and TCS, noting the lower success in driving incremental growth fromlarge accounts, relatively lower margins and a more subdued revenue growthprofile.

n Noting the upside to our target price for Wipro based on FY12E earnings, wemaintain our BUY recommendation with a price target of Rs.470 (Rs.502).

n Our exit multiple works out to 20.5x FY12E EPS.

Risks and concernsn A delayed recovery in major user economies and a sharper-than-expected appre-

ciation of rupee remain the key risks for earnings.

We maintain BUY on WiproTechnologies with a revised

price target of Rs.470

INFOTECH ENTERPRISES LTD (IEL)PRICE: RS.139 RECOMMENDATION: ACCUMULATETARGET PRICE: RS.155 FY12E P/E: 10.4X

Infotech's results were disappointing. While volumes grew at a decent 5.6%QoQ, EBIDTA margins fell more than expected. The management hasindicated that, pricing improvements have not materialised to the desiredextent. We had assumed some benefit in margins because of the expectedincrease in billing rates. The margin performance reflects the continuingpressure of attrition and salaries on mid-tier company, which also have toinvest in demand generating initiatives. Overall, we tweak our earningsestimates for FY12. FY12E earnings now stand at Rs.13.3 per share (Rs.14.9).Consequently, our PT stands revised to Rs.155 v/s Rs.174 earlier. At ourtarget price FY12 estimates will be discounted by about 12x. We believe thisdiscount to larger peers is justified due to the pressure on margins. Wemaintain ACCUMULATE. We believe that, Infotech will have to address theabove mentioned concerns before we turn more positive on the stock. Weare also concerned about the relatively high proportion of project-basedrevenues (in N&CE), in addition to currency fluctuations.

n In N&CE, revenues from Europe were impacted in 4QFY11 as two of the top 5clients (BT and Rural Payment Agency) reduced / tightened their budgets. How-ever, we understand that, the company has been able to tide over this impact in1QFY12.

MORNING INSIGHT July 21, 2011

n The company saw traction with a couple of telecoms customers and also in rev-enue from three new customers.

n Infotech witnessed good traction in North America, with increased volumes fromsome of its largest telecom and utility clients.

n The company signed a long term agreement with one of the global leaders inmining and construction equipment.

n This vertical has been facing continuing client issues. The projects-based natureof N&CE revenues also adds to the uncertainty.

n In ENGG, the revenues from Aerospace Engineering has crossed the $100mnannual mark. The company entered into a strategic partnership with a chip OEMin the previous quarter and this is expected to scale up in due course. This wasits second such partnership in the HiTech space.

n ENGG has been witnessing consistent growth over the past few quarters on theback of significant new additions and scale up of existing accounts.

n According to the management, the spending in manufacturing industry haspicked up and this has been led by hitech, heavy engineering and aerospace ver-ticals.

n The client budgets are expected to be higher for companies in these three verti-cals. Hi-tech and heavy engineering space is expected to see a significant in-crease in spend due to the cuts experienced in the previous two years.

n We understand growth came due to the scale up is existing accounts and scaleup in new accounts from Hamilton Sunstrand and Westinghouse. However, thescale up in Westinghouse will be more gradual.

n Infotech has penetrated the UTC group well with cumulative revenues of morethan $250mn. It now operates at ACE Gold level across all divisions of UTC.

n The company has also been short-listed as one of the off-shore partners for anew initiative of Caterpillar.

Marginal realisation increases - lower than expectedn Infotech has conceded that, some of the billing rate increases, which were ex-

pected to come in, have failed to materialise.

n Due to this, there was a meagre 0.1% improvement in average realisations in1Q.

n In the previous quarter, the company had indicated that, it will secure billing rateincreases for off-shore services. The full impact is expected to be felt WEF1QFY12.

n We view this with concern because in absence of these rate increases, the com-pany will find it difficult to sustain and improve margins significantly.

EBIDTA margins were a negative surprise.n EBITDA margins for the quarter were down on a QoQ basis by 190bps. This was

disappointing, especially after a steep fall in 4QFY11. 4QFY11 also had a onetime impact of about 80bps, which was expected to cushion the margin fall.

n The margins were impacted by salary hikes given during the quarter - 3% on-siteand about 12% off-shore, according to the management.

n Margin performance of Infotech has been disappointing for the past few quartersand we see this as a reflection of the challenges faced by mid-tier companiesfrom attrition and S&M investments, which they are forced to make.

n We had indicated that, salary increments, higher levels of attrition and need toinvest in business generating initiatives will put pressure on margins.

n The management has scaled down its target margins from about 18% to 15-16% (by Fy12 end).

MORNING INSIGHT July 21, 2011

"Other income' and taxn Infotech reported other income of Rs.64mn, which was higher than our expecta-

tions.

n The company provided tax at the rate of 33% of PBT which was higher thanexpectations.. Management expects the same to move up to about 30% inFY12E.

Tweak estimatesn We have tweaked our earnings expectations to accommodate the lower than

expected margins in 1QFY12.

n For FY12, we have assumed a revenue growth of about 26%, led by ENGG.

n EBIDTA margins are expected to fall marginally on the back of salary increasesand assumed rupee appreciation. Higher capacity utilisation and rightsizing ini-tiatives may cushion some impact.

n We have assumed tax rate to rise to 29% of PBT in FY12 v/s about 17% in FY11,in line with the management guidance of 30% - 31%.

n Consequently, PAT is expected to rise by about 6% to Rs.1.48bn, resulting intoan EPS of Rs.13.3.

n We expect the company to have net cash of about Rs.4.5bn by FY12 end, whichworks out to Rs.40 per share.

Deep relationships augur well; however margins performancehas to improven Infotech has managed to deepen client engagement for clients like UTC, Tom

Tom, P&W, Bombardier, Tele-Atlas & Swisscom over the recent quarters andenjoys relationships with marquee clients in its verticals.

n Management continues to see opportunities in the higher thrust which aerospacecompanies (Bombardier, etc are major clients) are giving to efficient and lightengine design skill sets- areas where IEL has domain expertise and existing im-pressive client roster.

n We have in our DCF model built in higher growth rates for Infotech over themedium term, given the improving demand environment.

n However, margins have a lot of scope for improvement. They have fallen by1000bps over the past 8 quarters.

n These reflect the challenges of a mid-tier company and we will become morepositive only after seeing a sustained improvement in the same.

Concernsn A sharp acceleration in the rupee from our assumed levels will impact earnings

estimates negatively for the company.

n Belying of hopes of a pick up in the economic outlook of major user economiescould impact revenue growth of Infotech.

We maintain ACCUMULATErating on Infotech Enterpriseswith a revised price target of

Rs.155

n BOT revenues reported a growth of 14% YoY led by 18% toll rate hike inMumbai-Pune BOT project from Apr, 2011 and commencement of toll collectionfrom Tumkur-Chitradurg project. Toll collection from Tumkur-Chitradurg projectstood at nearly Rs.43-44 lac per day. Mumbai-Pune expressway has shown a23% YoY growth while Bharuch Surat project has also shown a healthy growthof 12.8% YoY growth in toll collections. Traffic growth in Surat-Dahisar waslower than our estimates. Thane-ghodbunder toll collections were impacted bytraffic diversion while other projects such as Pune-Nashik, Thane-Bhiwandi,MMK, Kharpada bridge and Pune Sholapur have reported toll collections betterthan our estimates.

n Construction work on Surat-Dahisar project is expected to complete in Aug,2011. Along with this, Kolhapur road project is also expected to complete byAug, 2011. Commissioning of this project has got delayed due to land availabilityissues so company has requested for partial completion certificate and begin thetoll collections by Aug-Sep, 2011.

n EPC division has a current order book of Rs 112 bn and with completion of con-struction work on Surat-Dahisar and Kolhapur project by Aug, 2011, we expectrevenue growth to be led by execution of Amritsar-Pathankot, Talegaon-Amravati and Jaipur-Deoli project in FY12. We expect work on Ahmedabad-Vadodara project to commence from FY13 which will aid the revenue growthgoing forward. We thus maintain our estimates and expect consolidated rev-enues to grow at a CAGR of 36% between FY11-FY13.

Operating margins slightly lower than our estimatesn Operating margins declined on yearly basis due to higher proportion of EPC rev-

n Operating margins in the construction division stood at 25.9% for Q1FY12. Mar-gins also remained strong in the BOT division at 87.3% for Q1FY12. Overallmargins on consolidated basis stood at 43.1% for Q1FY12 as against 50.8% inQ1FY11.

n We maintain our estimates and expect consolidated margins to be 44.1% and37% for FY12 and FY13 respectively.

Net profit growth led by excellent revenue growth and strongoperating marginsn Net profit growth of 14% was led by healthy growth in revenues and excellent

margins.

n It was to some extent impacted by higher interest outgo in BOT segment due tohigher debt at the project level. We believe this is also due to MTM provisioningfor interest rate currency swap for Mumbai-Pune BOT during Q1FY12 also. How-ever, we don't expect further provisioning since the contract is about to expire inAug, 2011.

n We maintain our estimates and expect net profits to grow at a CAGR of 17%between FY11-FY13. This is expected to be impacted by higher interest and de-preciation charges going forward due to commissioning of Surat-Dahisar,Kolhapur and Tumkur-Chitradurg project.

PRICE: RS.177 RECOMMENDATION: BUYTARGET PRICE: RS.205 FY12E P/E: 13.9X

q Crompton Greaves results for Q1FY12 are significantly below our esti-mates. Sluggish spending in domestic T&D space and delays from fewclients in taking product delivery has led to de-growth in power systemdivision.

q Company has been experiencing margin pressure on account of 1) in-creasing input prices 2) pricing pressure due to increased competition inpower systems division 3) sluggish volume growth across segments.

q Overseas subsidiary has been experiencing slowdown in certain geogra-phies; few order cancellations in Libya and deferments in certain ordershave led to the muted growth in the international business.

q Management anticipates increased competition and margin pressure inthe current year and has significantly reduced the revenue and marginguidance for FY12.

q We believe that the stock will continue to underperform the broadermarket for next two quarters till interest rates starts to peak out and in-vestments in domestic T&D space especially from Powergrid normalize.

q With various power generation capacities coming on stream in next fewyears, we opine that the spending in domestic T&D space is bound toincrease in the next few quarters

q In view of the changes in earning estimates, we continue to maintain'BUY' rating on the company's stock with a one year DCF based revisedtarget price of Rs 205 (Rs 280 earlier).

Result Highlightsn Consolidated revenues grew by 5.9% YoY mainly driven by the industrial busi-

ness. However company has reported significant fall in the operating margins at7.9% in Q1FY12 vis-à-vis 12.9 % in Q1FY10.

n Consolidated Power system division reported revenue growth of 4.1% YoY toRs.15.2 bn. However, EBIT for the segment are down by 74% YoY mainly due to1) sluggish spending in domestic T&D business 2) increasing competition leadingto pricing pressure 3) higher raw material prices.

n Domestic power division has grown by close to 11% YoY in the quarter to Rs 5.6bn. However overseas power system has posted de-growth on account of execu-tion delays in Europe and middles east projects.

n Management has reported that some of its clients are delaying taking order de-livery. However it believes this to be a temporary phenomenon and conditionsare likely to improve through 2HYFY12.

n Also, in Q1FY12 company has taken up the rewinding work in few of the earlierplaced transformers, which it has supplied to one of its clients. Charges to thisrework have been booked in the quarter under review and have had a depress-ing effect on the overall margins of the company.

n Company has also reported order cancellation in Libya. Management has alsostated that an overseas order of nearly Rs 2.5 bn has been deferred probably tothe next quarter.

n Company has been observing significant demand in the European wind business.However it is also experiencing slowdown in some of the key markets likeFrance.

n Revenue growth in Consumer Product division remained muted at Rs 5.4 bn.While company plans to expand in the rural areas for sustaining growth, it fore-sees tough environment for the segment in view of the increasing interest ratesand rising inflation having negative impact on the consumer sentiment.

MORNING INSIGHT July 21, 2011

Business Outlookn We believe that the current slowdown in the real estate activity in India and

continuous delays from power grid would remain a matter of concern for thecompany and the peer group in the short term.

n With the increasing capacity in the transformer space, company would continueto observe pricing pressure in the power system division. However, we also opinethat the company is reasonably positioned in terms of product and geographydiversification.

n With various power generation capacities coming on stream in next few years,we believe that the spending in domestic T&D space is bound to increase in thenext few quarters and company is likely to benefit from this.

n We believe that the Indian consumer space has been undergoing a change interms of consumer preference toward the branded products manufactured by thecompany and peer group (Havells, Bajaj Electricals etc) over the unorganizedsector.

n However peaking out of interest rates and inflation would be the key variables tomonitor for the growth of the overall sector.

Financialsn We project 10.4% growth in consolidated revenues for FY12 driven mainly by

the industrial systems segment. However we believe that the domestic T&D divi-sion is also likely to post recovery in 2HYFY12E.

n We believe that the company is likely to experience margin pressure through1HYFY11 on account of 1) increase in input prices 2) lower volumes 3) increasein overheads for funding company's future growth mainly in industrial systemsdivision.

n In our projections, we build 10.9% EBITDA margins for FY12 vis-à-vis 13.2% inFY11. We build EPS of Rs 12.4 vis-à-vis Rs 14.3 in FY11.

Valuation & Recommendationn Company's stock has corrected sharply by over 35% post Q1FY12 results in last

two trading session. At the current price of Rs 177 stock is trading at 13.9x P/Eand 9.4 x EV/EBITDA on FY12E earnings.

n We opine that the investment in the infrastructure space (particularly power insector) are delayed in the short run but is likely to recover and sustain in the longterm. We believe that with various power plants coming on stream in next fewyears, off take in T&D infrastructure is inevitable.

n With increased capabilities in various domains acquired through JVs and acquisi-tions we believe that the company is well integrated and well poised to benefitfrom 1) spending in T&D space in India 2) up tick in industrial capex 3) revival ofoverseas markets.

n In view of the changes in earning estimates affected by us, we continue to main-tain 'BUY' rating on the company's stock with a one year DCF based revisedtarget price of Rs 205 (Rs 280 earlier).

Revenues grow marginally due to poor show on the volumesfrontn Revenues for the quarter grew by 6% from Rs23,480mn in 1QFY11 to

Rs24,955mn. Growth in revenues happened on account of improved realizations.

n Steep price hike taken in the past one year led to 18% YoY jump in realizationsfor the company. Realization remained flat over 4QFY11.

n Engine volumes sales dropped from 3900 units in 1QFY11 to 3400 units in1QFY12. Revenues from the engine business were down marginally fromRs660mn in 1QFY11 to Rs640mn in 1QFY12.

n ALL vehicle volumes in 1QFY12 were down by 11% YoY on account of overallslowdown being witnessed in the M&HCV segment. Company cited the poorperformance on the volume front to the election in southern India sates wherecompany is the market leader.

n Management continues to maintain their 15% FY12 volume growth guidance.We believe that this would be daunting task for the company as 1.Volumes in1QFY12 are already down by 11% 2. Interest rates are not expected to comedown in short term. 3. Moderation being witnessed in the IIP growth numbers.One of the prime reason for the company's robust volume guidance is expecta-tion of drop in interest rates which we expect will not happen in the near tomedium term.

n We are of the view that FY12 will be a difficult year for the M&HCV industrybecause of reasons cited above. We continue to maintain our flat volume growthassumption for the company in FY12.

Operating performance remains in linen ALL's performance for the quarter at the operating profit level was broadly in line

with expectations.

n Company reported adjusted EBDITA of Rs2,352mn for the quarter, which wassimilar to 1QFY11 EBITDA of Rs2,354mn.

n Adjusted margins for the quarter stood at 9.4% versus 10% in 1QFY11. Lowervolumes during the quarter meant that the company could not benefit from op-erating leverage.

n For FY12, we expect the company's EBITDA margin to be at 10%. We expectthe volumes over the remaining quarters to be better than 1QFY11 and thatwould entail higher operating leverage for the company. Secondly, ramp up atPantnagar plant should also contribute positively towards the volumes. However,having said that, FY12 EBITDA margins are expected to be 100bps lower overFY11 EBITDA margins.

Net profits drop on high interest and depreciation costn ALL reported net profit of Rs863mn, a 30% drop over 1QFY11 net profit of

Rs1,226mn.

n Depreciation cost during the quarter increased by 10% QoQ on back of full im-pact of capex done in 4QFY11.

n Increase in finished goods inventory led to higher working capital. Accordinglythe interest cost moved up by 18% QoQ.

n EPS for the quarter stood at Rs0.68. Our full year EPS estimate stands at Rs4.2.

n During 1QFY12 the company produced 5,900 units out of the Pantnagar plantand expects to produce ~36,000 units in FY12.

n U-Truck volumes for the quarter were 700-800 units.

n Finished vehicle inventory at the end of 1QFY12 was 10,000 units which thecompany expects to bring it down in 2QFY12.

n Debt at the end of 1QFY12 stood at Rs32bn as against Rs25.6bn at the end ofFY11. Rise in debt is on account of increased loan for working capital. Companyexpects to bring this down by Rs5bn by liquidating inventory.

n Capex and investment amount for FY12 is expected to be around Rs11bn.

Valuation and Outlookn Slowing economy, mounting interest cost and rise in fuel prices will keep

M&HCV volumes under pressure in FY12.

MORNING INSIGHT July 21, 2011

In our view, there are three disappointments from Q1FY12 re-sults:1) Disbursement during Q1FY12 has been disappointing - Individual disbursement

grew moderately at 15% (YoY), while Developers disbursement continued todecline by 79% (YoY). On aggregate basis, total disbursement grew only by4.5% (YoY) which is disappointing in our view.

2) Next disappointment came on margin front. NIM compressed more than whatwe were expecting. It came down to 2.78% during Q1FY12 as against 3.45%and 3.01% witnessed during Q4FY11 and Q1FY11, respectively.

3) Asset quality also disappointed during Q1FY12. In absolute terms, gross NPAgrew 84% while net NPA grew 12x. Even in percentage terms, both gross aswell as net NPAs spiked to 0.84% and 0.35%, respectively (Q4FY11: gross NPA- 0.47%; net NPA: 0.03%).

NII came at 22.6% YoY, 8.8% below expectations; NIM also dis-appointedNII grew 22.6% YoY (8.8% lower than expectations) on back of 32.1% growth inloans book despite 23 bps decline in NIM.

Net Income was up 21.0% YoY (14.3% lower than our expectations), partly aidedby only marginal increase in operating expenses (7.1% YoY).

NIM came down to 2.78% during Q1FY12 as against 3.45% and 3.01% witnessedduring Q4FY11 and Q1FY11, respectively. We opine that 67 bps (QoQ) contraction inNIM suggests that there is some pressure on its margins due to rising cost of funds.

Muted disbursement during Q1FY12; although loan book grew at32.1% during Q1FY12, we are assuming moderate growth of 18%during FY12E.Disbursement during Q1FY12 has been disappointing - Individual disbursement grewmoderately at 15% (YoY), while Developers disbursement continued to decline by79% (YoY). This led to overall disbursement growing at only 4.5% during Q1FY12.

Unsurprisingly, developer loan continued to take a breather during Q1FY12 and onback of lower disbursement to developers during last three quarters, its outstandingdeveloper's loan book has continuously declined from 11.3% at the end of Q2FY11to 7.6% at the end of Q1FY12. However, management has guided that developerdisbursement is picking up and ~Rs.1.0 bn was disbursed during July month so far asagainst Rs.0.8 bn done during whole Q1FY12.

Although outstanding mortgage portfolio rose 32.1% (YoY) at the end of Q1Fy12,we are assuming moderate loan growth of 18% during FY12E as there has beensome indication of sluggishness in the real estate transactions.

Disappointing asset quality; provision coverage ratio declined to58.3%In absolute terms, gross NPA grew by 21% YoY and 84% QoQ, respectively. Simi-larly, net NPA also spiked by 32% YoY and became 12x QoQ.

PETRONET LNG LTD. (PLNG)PRICE: RS.153 RECOMMENDATION: ACCUMULATETARGET PRICE: RS.157 FY12E P/E: 11.1X

q Petronet LNG has reported good set of Q1FY12 results which are aboveour estimates. Profit has increased both on account of 1). Volume and 2).Realization growth. Falling domestic gas supply from KG-D6 and strongdemand of natural gas from petrochemicals and refinery sector resultedin higher import of LNG.

q Management has stated the rising demand of LNG has led to steadygrowth in capacity utilization at Dahej plant. In Q1FY12, the ratio of spotcargos to long term cargos was 15:27.

q The Company's board has approved the expansion of Dahej terminal.This will create more storage and re-gasification capacities. We expectpost expansion sales volume from Dahej will be more than 10 Mn MTPA.However, we also expect capacity constraint beyond 10.5 Mn MTPA tillthe time additional capacity comes on stream.

q Dahej operational capacity is expected to be 15 Mn MTPA higher than thenameplate capacity of 10 Mn MTPA post Jetty commission i.e afterQ2FY14. This is due to ambient temperatures and cargo scheduling.

q Additional Jetty and associated unloading terminal expected at Dahej tocommission by Q2FY14, contract awarded. We believe that this will al-low PLNG to bring in bigger vessels which will lower the turnaroundtime and improving operational efficiencies.

q Recently, PLNG has signed a preliminary agreement with Russia's market-ing arm Gazprom to buy as much as 2.5 million tonne per year of lique-fied natural gas (LNG) for up to 25 years.

q Currently, PLNG is importing 7.5 mmtpa from Qatar on a long-term basisand additional 1.5 mmtpa from Gas Natural (of Spain). It is in touch withcountries like Qatar and Australia for long-term contracts for sourcingLNG.

q PLNG is also aiming to increase its presence in direct marketing ratherthan just a tolling re-gassifier. This will improve its margins going for-ward.

q India's gas demand is currently pegged at 179 mmscmd, while the do-mestic supply is constrained at around 140 mmscmd.

q FY12 revised earnings estimate with EPS of Rs.13.76. (earlier Rs.8.7). Thisis mainly due to higher utilization rate at the Dahej terminal, strong do-mestic demand and long delay in ramping up of KG-D6 production.

q On the basis of our estimates, the stock at current market price of Rs.153is fairly valued at 7.4x EV/EBIDTA, 11.1x P/E, 9.4x P/CEPS and 3.27x P/BVon the basis of FY12 earnings estimates.

q Due to limited upside potential and fair valuations, we recommend Accu-mulate on PLNG with revised price target of Rs.157. We believe PLNGshould benefit from gas shortages and rising domestic natural gas de-mand over the long term.

n During Q1FY12, PLNG sold 114.65 TBTUs of re-gasified LNG as against 89.46TBTUs in Q1FY11 and provided re-gasification services for 18.72 TBTUs asagainst 5.65 TBTUs in Q1FY11, totaling to 133.37 TBTUs which is significantly upby 40.2% on YoY basis and by 6.06% on QoQ basis mainly on account of importof cargos to meet the latent demand.

n In Q1FY12, PLNG has imported 42 cargos, out of this ~64% was long-term con-tracts and balance was short term spot cargos. This shows strong demand of LNGin India.

n Revenues for Q1FY12 were at Rs.46.2 Bn which is substantially up by 83.0% onYoY basis and 15.99% on QoQ basis. The average net realization (LNG sold andservice provided) is up 30.5% on YoY basis to Rs.346.7 per mmbtu and up by9.36% on QoQ basis.

n Petronet has been benefiting from a decline in local production of natural gasthat has pushed up LNG imports. Natural gas output at Reliance's D6 block inthe Krishna Godavari basin is currently around 48-50 million standard cubicmeters a day, significantly down. Also, it is expected that it will take two yearsto ramp-up the production.

n Raw material cost i.e. LNG for Q1FY12 was at Rs.41.3 Bn up by 85.07% on YoYbasis and 15.63% on sequential basis. Hence, PLNG imported LNG at averagecost of Rs.310 per mmbtu in Q1FY12 which is up by 32% on YoY basis and upby 9% on sequential basis. This is mainly due to rise in LNG prices.

n Net Back (Net Revenue less Raw Material Cost) for Q1FY12 was at Rs.4.9 Bn upby 67% on YoY basis and 19% on QoQ basis. Resulting in average net back ofRs.36.76 per mmbtu up by 19% on YoY basis and 12% on sequential basismainly due to higher demand and lower domestic supply the Company could getbetter realizations.

n For Q1FY12, the operational profit is up 76.9% YoY and 24.7% on sequentialbasis to Rs.4.4 bn. The company recorded EBIDTA margin of 9.5%, which isdown 0.3% on YoY basis but up 0.7% on QoQ basis. On QoQ basis, Companyhas imported higher spot cargos which have resulted in higher margins.

n Finance cost has increased by 7.52% QoQ basis but has fallen 6.9% YoY basis toRs.464 Mn.

n PBT for Q1FY12 was at Rs.3.7 bn up 126.4% YoY and up 26.6% on sequentialbasis.

n PAT for Q1FY12 was at Rs.2.57 bn up 130.5% YoY and up 24.5% on sequentialbasis thereby translating into quarterly EPS of Rs.3.42 and CEPS of Rs.4.0.

PLNG volumes (MMTPA)& YoY growth (%)

Source: Company and Kotak Securities - Private Client Research

Key assumptionsn For FY12E we expect revenues of Rs.194.1 bn up 47% YoY (earlier Rs.148 bn),

operating margin of 9.9% and PAT of Rs.10.3 bn (earlier Rs.6.6 bn). Accordingly,we expect PLNG to report EPS of Rs.13.76 and CEPS of Rs.16.3 in FY12E. This ismainly due to higher utilization rate at the Dahej terminal, strong domestic de-mand, long delay in ramping up of kg-d6 production.

n Management has guided 9.5 Mn MTPA of LNG sales for FY12E.

n Management has guided higher re-gasification charges for FY12E. Also, theCompany enjoys marginally higher margins on spot cargo's which will also im-prove its operating margins. In Q1FY12, the Company imported 15 short andspot cargos as against 27 long term cargos.

Price target increased to Rs.157We have valued PLNG on DCF-based method of valuation with 11.9% WACC and5.0% terminal growth rate. The price target is revised upwards to Rs.157.

Valuation & Recommendationn On the basis of our estimates, the stock at current market price of Rs.153 is fairly

valued at 7.4x EV/EBIDTA, 11.1x P/E, 9.4x P/CEPS and 3.27x P/BV on the basisof FY12 earnings estimates.

n Due to 2% upside potential, we recommend Accumulate on PLNG with revisedprice target of Rs.157.

NotesLNG is natural gas in its highly compact liquid form. When natural gas is cooled tominus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (or minus 162 degrees Celcius), it is reduced to onesix-hundredth of its original volume and becomes a clear, non-toxic liquid. LNG of-fers a safe and economical means for transporting natural gas over long distances tolocations beyond the reach of pipelines. LNG is loaded on specialized ships and de-livered to a regas- sification terminal where it is reheated, turned into gas and dis-tributed to customers through a pipeline network.

We now recommend toACCUMULATE on Petronet LNG

with a revised price target ofRs.157
