October 31, 2018 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update Strong performance… ABB India reported stellar Q3CY18 results, which were above our estimates. Revenue grew growth 31.3% YoY at | 2515 crore as all segments delivered double digit revenue growth, viz. power grids, robotics and motion, electrification products and industrial automation grew 33.2%, 32.7%, 21.1% and 21.1%, respectively. We expected revenue of | 2350 crore for the quarter EBITDA grew 44.6% YoY to | 194 crore (our estimate: | 164 crore) primarily due to lower employee & sub-contracting expenses. Gross margins fell 110 bps YoY. EBITDA margins were at 7.7% vs. 7% YoY PAT came in at | 108.3 crore, up 29.9% YoY primarily due to lower other income, which declined 24.5% YoY Total order inflow increased to | 2,355 crore, up 22% YoY led by growth in base orders and exports. Base orders grew 16% YoY. The base order growth was supported by offerings for smart factory applications and ABB AbilityTM digital solutions in sectors like food & beverage and building automation. The order backlog as of September 2018 was at | 11,368 crore Discontinuing substation EPC business, capex in power T&D, smart grid solutions, railways give strong visibility ABB has discontinued its substation EPC business which was ~4-5% of its revenue. Going forward, the company is eyeing substantial opportunities in its power grids segment. Under-investment in this space and 'Power for all' initiative of current governments is likely to help ABB keep its order book ticking. ABB, a pioneer in smart grid solutions is also expecting to benefit from accelerated pace of addition in renewables (175 GW by FY22E). Electrification of railways, 30,000 ckm by FY22E by spending ~| 35,000 crore, introduction of electric locomotives wherein ABB supplies traction transformers (~| 10,000 crore opportunity), spends on network expansion/ de-congestion and slew of metro projects across the country are likely to open opportunities for ABB’s electrification and power solutions (transformers, turbochargers, etc). Strong visibility across segments, robust exports and services ABB is witnessing strong visibility across segments. This is due to opex picking-up across user industries like cement, oil & gas, food & beverages, steel, etc. Thus, we expect ABB's industrial solutions segment to grow at 9.5% CAGR, in CY17-19E. ABB’s other segments, i.e. power grids and electrification are also expected to grow 9.5% and 13.9%, respectively, in CY17-19E. Rising proportion of exports and services will also be positive for margins of ABB, going forward. In Q3CY18, order intake growth from exports (+171% YoY) and services (+18% YoY) helped drive overall growth (order inflow) of 22%YoY. On the renewables front, ABB's leadership in solar inverters, step-up transformers and grid stabilisation systems is likely to open opportunities of over | 8500 crore in FY19-22E. In e-mobility segment, ABB's technical prowess in charging infrastructure space is also likely to open domestic opportunities worth ~| 1215 crore in the next two to three years. With all cylinders firing and robust existing order book of | 11,368 crore, we believe ABB will clock revenue, EBITDA and PAT grow of 14%, 20.5% and 21.3% CAGR respectively over CY17- 19E. We value the company at 50x CY19E earnings to arrive at a target price of | 1460. We maintain BUY recommendation on the company.

Result Update

Strong performance…

ABB India reported stellar Q3CY18 results, which were above our

estimates. Revenue grew growth 31.3% YoY at | 2515 crore as all

segments delivered double digit revenue growth, viz. power grids,

robotics and motion, electrification products and industrial automation

grew 33.2%, 32.7%, 21.1% and 21.1%, respectively. We expected

revenue of | 2350 crore for the quarter

EBITDA grew 44.6% YoY to | 194 crore (our estimate: | 164 crore)

primarily due to lower employee & sub-contracting expenses. Gross

margins fell 110 bps YoY. EBITDA margins were at 7.7% vs. 7% YoY

PAT came in at | 108.3 crore, up 29.9% YoY primarily due to lower

other income, which declined 24.5% YoY

Total order inflow increased to | 2,355 crore, up 22% YoY led by

growth in base orders and exports. Base orders grew 16% YoY. The

base order growth was supported by offerings for smart factory

applications and ABB AbilityTM digital solutions in sectors like food &

beverage and building automation. The order backlog as of September

2018 was at | 11,368 crore

Discontinuing substation EPC business, capex in power T&D, smart grid

solutions, railways give strong visibility

ABB has discontinued its substation EPC business which was ~4-5% of

its revenue. Going forward, the company is eyeing substantial

opportunities in its power grids segment. Under-investment in this space

and 'Power for all' initiative of current governments is likely to help ABB

keep its order book ticking. ABB, a pioneer in smart grid solutions is also

expecting to benefit from accelerated pace of addition in renewables (175

GW by FY22E). Electrification of railways, 30,000 ckm by FY22E by

spending ~| 35,000 crore, introduction of electric locomotives wherein

ABB supplies traction transformers (~| 10,000 crore opportunity), spends

on network expansion/ de-congestion and slew of metro projects across

the country are likely to open opportunities for ABB’s electrification and

power solutions (transformers, turbochargers, etc).

Strong visibility across segments, robust exports and services

ABB is witnessing strong visibility across segments. This is due to opex

picking-up across user industries like cement, oil & gas, food & beverages,

steel, etc. Thus, we expect ABB's industrial solutions segment to grow at

9.5% CAGR, in CY17-19E. ABB’s other segments, i.e. power grids and

electrification are also expected to grow 9.5% and 13.9%, respectively, in

CY17-19E. Rising proportion of exports and services will also be positive

for margins of ABB, going forward. In Q3CY18, order intake growth from

exports (+171% YoY) and services (+18% YoY) helped drive overall

growth (order inflow) of 22%YoY. On the renewables front, ABB's

leadership in solar inverters, step-up transformers and grid stabilisation

systems is likely to open opportunities of over | 8500 crore in FY19-22E.

In e-mobility segment, ABB's technical prowess in charging infrastructure

space is also likely to open domestic opportunities worth ~| 1215 crore in

the next two to three years. With all cylinders firing and robust existing

order book of | 11,368 crore, we believe ABB will clock revenue, EBITDA

and PAT grow of 14%, 20.5% and 21.3% CAGR respectively over CY17-

19E. We value the company at 50x CY19E earnings to arrive at a target

price of | 1460. We maintain BUY recommendation on the company.

EBITDA to grow at 20.5% CAGR in CY17-19E; margins to improve

The operating income grew at 11.9% CAGR over CY13-17. This was

despite subdued growth of 4.2% in revenue over the same period. This

was mainly due to decrease in input prices. Raw material cost as a

percentage of sales declined from 63.8% in CY13 to 59.7% in CY17.

Accordingly, EBITDA margins increased from 6.1% to 8.1% in CY17.

CY16 and CY17 witnessed some drop in margins (8.6% in CY16 and 8.1%

in CY17 from 8.8% in CY15), due to higher contribution from projects

segment of the business.

Going forward, we expect this trend to reverse on the back of hardening

commodity prices. We expect this cost to be ~60% of revenue in the

coming years. Despite increase in operating costs, we expect the EBITDA

margins for the company to improve. This is because of increasing

contribution of high margin ‘electrification products’ in the topline.

Accordingly, we expect inch up to 8.9% in CY19E. Overall, higher

contribution by sale of products and increase in local content is also like

to support the margins going forward. Thus, we expect EBITDA margins

of 8.4% and 8.9% in CY18E and CY19E respectively. We expect absolute

EBITDA to grow at 20.5% CAGR in CY17-19E vs. 11.9% in CY13-17. Thus,

we expect ABB to report absolute EBITDA of | 1068 crore in CY19E.

PAT to grow at 21.3% CAGR over CY17-19E

Net profit grew at 23.7% CAGR in CY13-17. This was higher than revenue

growth during the same period (4.2% CAGR in CY13-17) due to improving

gross margins from 36.2% in CY13 to 41.1% in CY17 and accelerated

growth in other income of the company. Other income of the company

grew from | 7 crore in CY13 to | 121 crore in CY17. Higher interest

income was due to growing cash balance on the books of the company.

Cash balance grew from | 316.6 crore in CY13 to | 1491.6 crore in CY17.

Going forward, we expect trend to continue albeit at a slower pace. We

estimate other income to grow at 7.6% CAGR over the next two years to |

140 crore in CY19E.

Accordingly, we expect PAT to grow at a CAGR of 21.3% from | 420 crore

in CY17 to | 619 crore in CY19E.

We expect EBITDA margins of 8.4% and 8.9% in CY18E and

CY19E respectively. We expect absolute EBITDA to grow at

20.5% CAGR in CY17-19E.

We expect PAT to grow at a CAGR of 21.3% from | 420

crore in CY17 to | 618 crore in CY19E. This is on the back

of improving operating performance. We estimate other

income to grow at 7.6% CAGR over the next two years.

Return ratios to remain stable

In the last few years (CY15-17), the RoE, RoCE have improved from 10%,

11.9% in CY15 to 11.6%, 23.2%, respectively, in CY17. This was due to an

improving operating performance of the company. The company also

incurred reasonable capex of | 100-200 crore per year over the same

period.

Going forward, we expect return ratios (RoEs & RoCEs) to further improve

to 14% and 25.6%, respectively, in CY19E due to improving margins and

moderate capex spending of | 175-200 crore per year over CY17-19E. We

also expect RoICs to remain stable at ~42 over CY17-19E.

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 9

Outlook and valuation

ABB is a pioneer in developing technology-led future-ready solutions. It

has strong expertise in manufacture of electric motors, generators,

transformers, electrical equipments and electricity distribution and control

apparatus. With its leadership in power and electrical space, the company

successfully raced into other segments like enterprise-led solutions,

renewable and E-mobility solutions among others. Going forward, with

governments increasing spend on railway modernization, renewable,

power T & D and E-mobility; companies like ABB are likely to be the major

beneficiaries. India’s apex planning body Niti Aayog has also tied-up with

ABB to work across various sectors of economy, such as the power and

water utilities, industries like food as well as the heavy industries and the

transport (rail and metro) and infrastructure to suggest solutions for

digitalization, incorporating the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial

Intelligence (AI) technologies. The initiative also covers the fast growing

segment of electric mobility.

Additionally, ABB also has extensive capabilities in industrial automation

segment. With green shoots visible in industrial capex, ABB is well poised

to capture this upcoming opportunity. ABB expertise in the robotics

segments is likely to provide significant leg-up to the company in this

space. On the exports front, ABB (India) has been repositioned as a local

manufacturing hub for exports to various regions such as MENA (Middle

East and North Africa) and SEA (South East Asia) by the parent

organisation as part of its global strategy.

Overall, we expect order inflows to grow at a CAGR of 13.9% over CY17-

19E led by all the four segments. We expect order inflows of power grids,

robotics and Motion, electrification products and industrial automation to

grow at 14%, 15%, 12% and 15.5% CAGR over CY1719E respectively.

Given that ABB’s order book is mainly inclined towards base order (short

term contract with execution period of less than 12 months and faster

cash conversion), the robust execution is likely to support strong top-line

growth over CY17-19E. Accordingly, we expect ABB to deliver revenue

growth of 14% CAGR over CY17-19E. We also estimate healthy margin

expansion on the back of higher local content in ABB’s products going

forward. EBITDA margins are likely to improve from 8% in CY17 to 8.9%

in CY19E. EBITDA and PAT are thus expected to post CAGR growth of

20.5% and 21.3% CAGR respectively over CY17-19E.

In terms of valuation, ABB has historically traded at premium valuations

of 50-60x (15-year average P/E at ~58x). This is because ABB possesses

wide moat in the form of its technical capabilities. Superior technical

capabilities coupled with diverse competencies across large government

and industrial contracts gives the company significant edge over any local

or global competition. This has also led to ABB delivering consistent

business performance over the past many years. Despite fluctuating

business cycles (private capex) and erratic movements in government

capex, ABB has delivered a topline, bottomline CAGR of 3.6%, 24.4%,

respectively, in the past five years (CY12-17). It has also clocked average

RoEs, RoCEs of 11%, 17.5%, respectively, over CY15-17. Thus, we

believe ABB is an excellent combination of strong business model,

healthy order pipeline, efficient working capital management and high

quality management. Accordingly, we ascribe a P/E multiple of 50x on

CY19E EPS of | 29.2 to arrive at a fair value of | 1460/ share. We have a

Buy recommendation on the company.

We believe ABB is an excellent combination of strong

business model, healthy order pipeline, efficient working

capital management, healthy dividends and high quality

management
