WIN – Week In a Nutshell 1 8th Feb 2013

WEEK IN A NUTSHELL

WIN-dow to the week that was Week in a Nutshell (WIN) Another one came and went. One of the largest offerings in recent times was lapped up in bigger proportions than expected. Subscription of 1.7x for NTPC. The GoI has done a fantastic job in managing the last two issuances – Oil India and NTPC. HOOK of extensive meetings, LINE of reform announcements and SINKER of cheap valuations. All said and done, finally kudos to the government. Indian markets have seen issuance of a staggering USD 4.5 Bn this Calendar Year. FII Inflows of USD 6 Bn and DII Outflows of USD 4.2 Bn. Will the retail investor ever come back! RBI released its final recommendation on gold import in India. The focus was clearly on curbing gold import for non economic purpose. The possibility of linking import of metal to base rate can severely impact working capital and margins for the jewellery companies in India. Gold lending NBFCs’ existence was not questioned while the need for controls and slowdown in growth was focussed on. Coal Price Pooling approval means Coal India is now liable to supply 68% of total coal requirement for the identified projects below which they would have to cough up penalties. This ensures safety net for the debt holders while returns for equity holders is still a question mark BHARTI continued to disappoint with India business lagging Idea and Africa profitability continuing to struggle. The only silver lightning was the net debt declining from INR668b to INR643b URBAN CONSUMPTION continued to show signs of slow down with Jubilant’s SSSG at a 14 quarter low and margin contraction of 120 bps YoY.

WIN-ning charts & chats

GDP forecasts - Economist EACH month we poll a group of economic forecasters and then calculate their average predictions for GDP growth. Our latest poll shows that our panellists have become generally more pessimistic over the last six months about prospects for growth this year, (see this month's poll). Opinions always vary, and this month the Netherlands has the biggest range of forecasts, the lowest being a contraction of 1.3% and the highest an expansion of 0.3%. This week the Netherlands had the outlook on its AAA rating cut from stable to negative by Fitch, a ratings agency, on the basis of falling house prices and concerns about the banking system. Together with Spain, the Netherlands has suffered the biggest losses of confidence with average predictions almost one percentage point lower than they were last August. Spain has had four consecutive quarters of contraction.

WIN-conomics

ECONOMICS: FY13 GDP growth slip to decadal low of 5%, slowdown across sectors; demand deficit FY13 advance estimate for GDP growth has been placed at 5.0% - the lowest in a decade and represent sharp

slowdown from 9.3% of FY11 and 6.2% in FY12.

All three components of GDP, viz., agriculture, industry and services displayed YoY slowdown. Industry in particular registered their third lowest growth rate in two decades while services growth was the lowest in 12 years.

The two large high growing sub-sectors of GDP, viz., Construction (wt:8%) within the industry group and Trade, Hotel, Transport and Communication (wt: 28%) within services slowed down to less than half the growth rate of their boom period average during FY04-FY08.

Clearly establishing the demand deficiency as the reason behind slowdown, GDP measured from expenditure side grew by a meagre 3.3% with consumption growth of both private and government sector nearly halving from their FY12 levels. While fixed capital formation too displayed slower growth inventories shot up – a further pointer to the slowdown.

The nominal GDP showed a weaker growth of 11.7% in FY13 vs. 15.1% of FY12 despite accounting for 8%+ inflation. This would lend an upward bias to key macro-economic ratios including fiscal deficit to GDP.

A 14% drop in exchange rate resulted in an actual decline in GDP in USD terms to 1,845b from 1,873b of FY12. Again, this would lend an upward bias to the CAD/GDP ratio.

The latest data release point to the need for further policy stimulus to revive growth. Government has taken various reform measures to revive investment climate and also re-prioritizing it expenditure towards investment to kickstart private capex, critical growth revival. The latest growth estimate also fall short of RBI’s estimate by a good 50bp and would create headroom for further monetary easing if inflation continues to ease.

We have placed our FY14 growth estimate at 6.5%.

WIN-sights from management interaction Bajaj Auto - Rajiv Bajaj, MD No doubt the market is flat. Post-festive there is no pick up really. Most manufacturers had little elbowroom in

December to put some stock into the dealerships.

The billing is a little less than what we have retailed. So if we put the two months together we see that there is 5-7 percent growth

Discover 100 - Except to say that I have a good feedback from the market, I do not have much more in terms of consumer response.

However, these two months will be very important. February will be a month when we will try to push volumes up and we will rollout the communication.

If that works then based on the platform of the new Discover 100T we have a couple of big launches in the next six months in the 100cc space. It is something that we have been working on for a long time.

If the Discover 100T is rightly valued, then we will push rapidly towards higher market share in the 100cc space. That I hope in terms will take our weighted market share up closer to 30 percent

Berger Paints - Abhijit Roy, CEO Margin expansion - one is of course the raw material prices which impacted us. The second part is to do with

more shift towards a decorative business because industrial business floored down a bit.

Volume growth was in double digits, we crossed the double digit mark

In decorative paints business line we are number two, we are almost double the size of AkzoNobel or Nerolac

Ipca Laboratories - AK Jain, ED US Food and Drugs Administration (USFDA) inspection has been delayed - Some issue related to travel schedule

of the inspector. so it is going to be in the month of April now instead of February end.

On P&L, there is another additional cost which is on account of certain fees required to be paid to USFDA. We have incurred additional Rs 10 crore on R&D because of certain special project which is going on right now

So overall, in domestic market we should be able to post around 17 percent growth for current financial year.

We have a policy of hedging our net foreign exposures to around 40-60 percent. Currently, for next one year around 47 percent of our net exports are hedged and that hedge rate is almost around Rs 56

Onmobile Global - Mouli Raman, Co-Founder & MD We expect de-growth in India business for next one quarter, after that it will be flat for a quarter. On

international front we are making pretty good progress on Latin America and Africa.

India business in FY14 - a year-to-year basis it will be lower single digits.

Overall, over the next year or so we expect to have a growth rate of anywhere between 17-20 per cent at the company level

Margins likely to stabilize going forward - Overall the EBITDA level our expectation would be around 23-24 percent on an annual basis. Operating profit of abound 10-11 percent is where we are looking at.

Power Finance Corporation -Satnam Singh, CMD I think the new banking licenses are going to be for the private sector and I have never said that we will be

applying for a new bank license. What I had said was that we will be exploring the possibility of taking a stake in banks so as to ensure that our payment security mechanism is not dependent on third party banks.

Rather, we will have that payment security mechanism that is escrow as well as trust and retention account in a bank in which we have stake.

We have a very high level of almost equivalent to 1 percent of our book as reserve for bad and doubtful debt. Against that reserve, we have not written off even a single rupee.

We will have to make a provision for another Rs 30 crore in the last quarter, so as to match what we have committed to RBI.

RBI has come out with guidelines that 'as and when power plants are commissioned and the ones which are funded by us are commissioned, then the risk comes down from 100 percent to 50 percent

WIN Sector Updates BANKING: Loan (16%) and Deposit (13.1%) gr. remain stable RBI released the banking sector business data for fortnight ended 25th January 2013. Key takeaways:

Loan growth remained largely stable at 16% YoY (down 30bp compared to a fortnight earlier). In absolute terms, loans increased marginally by INR84b v/s increase of INR156b a fortnight ago and INR180b a year ago.

Deposits growth for the banking system stood at 13.1% YoY v/s 13.3% a fortnight earlier. In absolute terms, deposits declined INR115b v/s increase of INR613b a fortnight ago.

On YTD (over March 2012) basis, loans in absolute terms increased ~INR3.5t to INR50.5t whereas, deposits grew ~INR4.2t to INR65.3t. In percentage terms loans grew 7.4% and deposit by 6.8%.

Banks continued to wind up their SLR deposits after a marginal increase in the previous fortnight. SLR investments declined INR134b from the previous fortnight as a result of which SLR declined 13bp on a fortnightly basis to 27.6%. It remains significantly higher from 26.1% reported at the end of FY2012. On a fortnightly basis CD ratio improved marginally by 27bp to 77.4%.

FINANCIALS: Positive news flows for power financiers Government of India (GOI) has tried address the problems at the Discom level by compelling them to increase

tariff rates. At the Genco level, coal price pooling is a positive development. To improve liquidity at the Discom level, financiers came out with the facility of transitional finance. While issues related to Discoms in terms of higher T&D losses, uncertainty of tariff increase (due to lack of political will) etc persists, the reforms announced till date will surely abate concerns relating to growth and asset quality, in the medium term. Further, transitional finance facility is positive for financiers as (a) it offers higher spreads (b) payments are guaranteed by state government (c) higher growth and (d) lower risk weight-age. While the improving news flow in power sector is positive in general for the financial sector (8% of overall loans), major beneficiaries are likely to be mono-line financiers like POWF and RECL.

Sector & View: POWF/RECL trades at 1x/1.2x FY14E BV of INR207/INR208 with the healthy ROA and ROE of 3/3.2% and 20%/23%. Stocks also offers attractive dividend yield of 4.4%/4.6%. On back of relatively cheap valuations and higher share of generating assets, between RECL and POWF, we prefer POWF. Reiterate Buy.

METALS WEEKLY: Indian steel prices still weak; global iron ore and coking coal prices are up Indian long steel price (TMT Mumbai) and flat steel prices (Import parity) decreased by 1.6% and 0.6% WoW

respectively. Sponge iron prices were flat while pellet prices decreased by 5.1% WoW.

Steel prices increased in Europe, China, CIS and N. America by 2%, 1.2%, 2.1% and 1.6% WoW respectively. Prices declined 2.7% WoW in Turkey.

Iron ore prices increased 4% WoW to USD155/ton DMT, while Coking coal prices increased by USD2.5WoW to USD172.5/t. Coking coal prices have increased on the backdrop of floods in Queensland, Australia which have affected the supply.

Base metals continued their uptrend with aluminum, copper, zinc and lead increasing 1%, 1%, 2% and 1% WoW. Zhuzhou and Huludao, the top two zinc producers in China have warned about continuing losses in 2012 due to slowdown in local and global economic growth, weak demand, increased competition and higher costs. China's official PMI for January fell by 0.2 points MoM to 50.4.

NMDC has rollover January iron ore prices for both fines and lumps in February. SAIL has reportedly increased prices of flat steel by 2-3% but market is unlikely to absorb the hike amid weak demand.

mPower (January 2013): Monthly round-up of power utilities In Dec-12, commissioned 15MW of projects as compared to target of 3.7GW. YTDFY13 commissioned 9.8GW of

projects (9.5GW Thermal and 0.3GW Hydro projects), v/s target of 13.7GW, an achievement of 72%.

All India generating was 211GW comprising of 67% thermal (141GW), 19% hydro (39.3GW), 2% nuclear (5GW) and 12% renewable energy (26).

All India power generation for Jan-13 stood at 78.3BUs (up 6.8% YoY). Substantial improvement in generation in coal up 15% YoY on the back of increase in the coal based capacity. We note that coal based projects PLF declined by 248bp YoY. The gas based generation declined by 34.4% and PLF declined to 33.6% (v/s 54.6% YoY)

UTILITIES: In-principle approval for coal price pooling, details hold key CCEA granted in-principle approval for coal price pooling mechanism, which was on its agenda for the

discussion. approval calls for “modalities being finalized” by concerned ministry.

As per current FSAs, Coal India will supply coal upto 65% from domestic balance 15% from imports. Coal price pooling would help bring accountability for Coal India to honor its full obligation (80% trigger level); cost is expected to be rationed across the entire linkage quantity of coal being supplied to power sector.

Earlier framework proposed by CEA, the cost increase on this count was expected at INR87/ton (on full linkage quantity supplied to power sector) or INR0.08/unit (average power cost increase). We understand that Coal India was further working on the proposal and actual cost increase could be higher/lower under new/revised framework, if any.

Sectoral impact: Approval of the framework provides confidence on the identified 60GW of projects by CEA/MoP. Secondly, price pooling will enable projects operate to at minimum PLF of ~68% (80% trigger level of 85% availability), providing comfort on debt service coverage.

Key things to watch out for: 1) Signing of FSA was contingent on project capacity being tied-up under LTPPA. Incumbents had requested to set aside the condition, as there are no fresh bids being called by DISCOMs in the absence of finalization of new bidding document. 2) The treatment to projects which were not part of the list but have already commissioned the capacity is important to watch out for. 3) Whether such approval from Cabinet has over-riding effect and thus, State government would have limited/no say in adoption/execution.

Beneficiaries: 1) Of the 60GW of identified projects, NTPC had linkages approved for 11.6GW of capacity, Lanco - 5GW, Indiabulls Power - 3.8GW, Sterlite Energy - 3.7GW and Adani Power - 2.6GW. This list was expected to be revised to accommodate project that are commissioned and have PPAs, and defer/eliminate projects which are yet to tie-up capacity under LT mechanism. We await further clarity on the same. 2) In our view, banking sector/NBFCs like PFC & REC remain a key beneficiary of the move as threat of restructuring/bad loans recede. Improved coal availability and demand growth by DISCOMs (owing to tariff hike, financial restructuring) could be positive for players like NTPC as it will lead to higher generation while fuel cost increase is a pass through.

than estimated realizations. However, higher other income and lower tax boosted reported PAT to INR2.39b (v/s est INR1.88b), a 15% YoY de-growth. Results are not comparable as merger for RMC business subsidiary is fully done in 4QCY12 (for CY12).

Volumes were flat YoY (+10% QoQ) to 5.94MT (est 6mt). Grey cement realization declined 7.5% QoQ (-0.8% YoY) to INR4,166/ton (est INR4,327/ton), as ACC was aggressive on pricing to achieve year end targets.

Net sales (ex RMC) declined by 1% YoY (-2% QoQ) to INR24.7b (v/s est INR26.1b). RMC business revenues in 4QCY12 de-grew by 18% YoY (-1.5% QoQ), reflecting weak activity in organized housing and infrastructure projects.

Costs were lower than our estimates, driven by savings on energy side (due to higher contribution of linkage coal). Total cost (ex-RMC) was down ~2.3% QoQ (+2.4%YoY).

EBITDA de-grew by 18% YoY (-25% QoQ) to INR3.17b (v/s est INR3.33b), translating into EBITDA margins of 10.2% (-520bp YoY, -710bp QoQ v/s est 12.8%).

EBITDA grew 55%YoY to INR770m (v/s est of INR725m), while margin declined sharply by 10pp QoQ to 42%. The drop in margin is largely owing to meaningful cost escalations in Sector 91 and Manesar project. PAT grew 74%YoY to INR548m (v/s est of INR501m).

Rental income from annuity assets decline sharply by ~INR50m to INR238m due to (1) cancellations in Manesar IT Park and (2) end of contract at Hotel Exotica with Park Land which resulted in no income from the hotel in 3QFY13.

BHEL 3QFY13: Operating performance below estimates; bidding pipeline improving; Maintain Neutral BHEL’s 3QFY13 operational performance was below estimates: revenues at INR100b (down 5% YoY, inline),

EBITDA at INR16.3b (down 20% YoY) vs estimates of INR18b, down 12% YoY.

EBITDA margins stood at 16% vs our estimate of 17.4% and were impacted by poor fixed cost absorption and higher provisions for bad debts / liquidated damages.

Net profit at INR11.8b, down 18% YoY was in-line with our estimate of INR12.3b. Profits were also aided by better than expected other income, largely benefiting from forex gain on receivables.

Revenues were impacted by execution delays given the tight liquidity conditions, as BHEL has cut-down on execution in instances of delayed payments.

The management stated that payment cycle is showing signs of visible improvement, and combined with the likely initiatives of the Cabinet Committee on Investments to address the contentious issues; execution could possibly show signs of improvement.

Order intake stood at INR19.5b, down 55% YoY (excluding the impact of cancellation of Videocon order last year); and is impacted by fall in industrial as well as power sector orders.

Order book currently stands at INR1.13t with BTB(x) of 2.4x TTM (down from INR1.22t at 2QFY13 end), lowest since past 4 years and is impacting revenues.

We currently model BHEL’s order intake to improve 10% YoY in FY13, supported by NTPC bulk tender orders.

CIPLA 3QFY13: Operational performance driven by favourable product mix; EPS largely unchanged 3QFY13: performance was above estimates. Revenues grew 18% YoY to INR20.71b, EBITDA grew 26% YoY to

INR4.93band PAT grew 26% to INR3.39b. The growth was primarily led by 38% YoY growth in export formulations business to INR9.69b while domestic formulations grew a modest 10% YoY to INR9.29b. Export APIs stood at INR1.38b and declined by 16% YoY on a high base.

Domestic formulations records healthy 17% growth in 9MFY13 – unlikely to sustain in coming quarters: we are positively surprised by the strong growth in export formulations, driven by Lexapro supplies (now part of the base business) and strong growth witnessed across key therapeutic areas. Also, there was a 6-7% benefit from currency. However, the management has indicated that this high growth is not sustainable, going forward. The muted domestic formulations growth of 10% is below our expectation of 15%.

Margin Expansion: EBITDA margin increased 150bp YoY and stood at 23.8% (v/s our est. of 23.3%). Margin improvement was driven by favourable product mix, with higher contribution from anti-depressants segment (includes generic Lexapro supplies; now part of base business) and anti-allergics (includes Dymista; currently a small contributor). PAT growth was aided by strong topline growth coupled with healthy operational performance. There was a forex gain of INR190m for the quarter.

FY13 Guidance: Domestic formulations are guided to grow over 15% YoY for the year and the management is confident of sustaining this momentum in FY14. While the management did not specifically discuss the overall topline growth guidance for FY13, it had earlier guided for 15% growth. EBITDA margins are expected to improve on account of better product-mix and positive impact of a favourable currency. Management has indicated that EBITDA margins at 22% can be expected, going forward. Tax rate guidance has been maintained for FY13/14 at 23-24%.

Valuation and view: we estimate core EPS of INR19.7 for FY14E (up 17% YoY) and INR22.6 for FY15E (up 16% YoY). Based on our revised estimates, the stock trades at 20.6x FY14E and 17.9x FY15E earnings. We maintain Neutral with target price of INR452 (20x FY15E EPS), 12% upside.

COGNIZANT 4QCY12: Revenue in line; CY13 organic growth guidance of 15.8% CTSH’s 4QCY12 revenue grew 3% QoQ to USD1.948b, above the company’s guidance of USD1.94b and in line

with consensus (USD1.949b) and our estimates (USD1.95b). Non-GAAP operating margin was 19.7%, within the Company's targeted 19-20% range. Diluted non-GAAP EPS during the quarter was USD0.99, v/s guidance of USD0.97.

For CY13, the company gave a revenue guidance of “at least” 17% to USD8.6b. The guidance includes anticipated acquisition revenue of USD90m. Excluding anticipated acquisition revenues, organic growth guidance for CY13 is 15.8%.

While 1QCY13 guidance of 2.7% QoQ revenue growth implies higher CQGR of 4.1% over 2Q-4Q, we note growth over 2Q-4Q has outgrown 1Q sequential growth in all but 1 of the past 5 years.

While 15.8% organic revenue growth guidance in CY13 is at the lower end of expectations, growth deceleration at CTSH implies some convergence with other leading Indian IT players rather than a red flag for further deceleration of the industry. This is due to CTSH’s heavier dependence on Healthcare and Pharma vertical, which is expected to witness a sluggish CY13 with Pharma in particular seeing contraction in IT budgets.

CORP BANK 3QFY13: Asset quality disappoints; NIM improves QoQ but still lowest amongst peers Corporation Bank's 3QFY13 PAT declined 25% YoY to INR3b led by weak core operations and higher provisions

as pressure on asset quality (GNPA up 17% QoQ) continued to rise. NII grew just 3% YoY (+10%QoQ) to INR8.8b and fee income grew 13% YoY (flat QoQ) to INR2.5b, as result core operating profit growth was just 3% YoY (+2% QoQ)

Over past few quarters pressure on asset quality has increased significantly led by slippages in large corporate and SME segment, as a result net slippages ratio for 9MFY13 have increased to 2.3% v/s 1.2% in FY12.

Further bank has lowered PCR which have declined from ~50% in FY11 to 25.7%. Thus, even if net slippages decline, credit cost would remain at an elevated level due to ageing of the portfolio. We model credit cost of ~1% over FY13/15 as compared to 70bp in FY12

DIVI'S LABS 3QFY13: Operational performance below estimates due to unfavorable product mix Divi’s Labs reported 29% YoY growth in revenues to INR5.33b (v/s est. of INR5.41b), EBITDA grew 22% to

INR1.81b (v/s est. of INR1.98b) and 18% growth in Adj PAT to INR1.44b (est. of INR1.47b). EBITDA margins at 34% (down 180bps YoY) were below est. of 36.7%. There was a forex gain of INR160m for the quarter (included in other income) compared to a forex gain of similar amount in 3QFY12 (for 2QFY13, there was a forex loss of INR208m included in other expenses).

Revenue growth was driven by 37% growth in CRAMS business, while generics grew 25%. Nutraceuticals revenues declined 8% to INR185m. Management has indicated that there was 2-3% currency benefit in topline for the quarter.

EBITDA margins are lower than estimates due to unfavorable product-mix, which pushed the raw material costs up by 200bps YoY to 41.5% of sales. We expect margins to improve from 3Q levels.

We estimate 35-37% RoCE and 28-29% RoE over FY13-15, led by traction in high-margin CRAMS business, sustained profitability in Generics business and increased contribution from the new SEZ.

The company is targeting a fresh capex of INR1.5-2b for FY13 despite the ~INR4.5b capex undertaken in the past two years. This reflects confidence about the growth outlook.

Potential to create multiple MCX's over a sustained period : Supply of technology platform by its parent, FTECH gives MCX a competitive edge. FTECH has been setting / scaling up multiple other exchanges that span across asset classes and geographies, which can map MCX's success.

Despite moderation in loan growth at 21% YoY, 9MFY13 adjusted (for NSE and MF stake sale in FY12) PAT grew ~40% YoY led by (a) stable spreads at 2.5% (b) strong fee income growth of ~50% and (c) sharp control over cost (9MFY13 flat YoY) leading to TTM c/I ratio of 16% vs 20% a year ago.

Sanctions remain volatile and declined sharply by 44% YoY (+55% QoQ) to INR43.1b; Disbursements also declined 56% YoY and QoQ to INR25.8b.

In 9MFY13, sanctions declined 13% YoY and disbursements grew 5% YoY. Loan pipeline increased 14% QoQ to INR152b led by 40% QoQ rise in telecom segment

Asset quality remained stable QoQ with %GNPAs at 0.26% and PCR at ~54%. During the quarter IDFC made accelerated provision (+50% of the current quarter provision) on media exposure and total provisioning on the account stands at almost 2/3rd of the exposure.

Valuation and view

Barring one off investment going bad in the previous quarter, IDFC has delivered healthy performance on the asset quality front. While the stance on asset quality remains cautious, IDFC has been prudently making provisions for the same (loan loss provisions of 1.6% of assets).

Maintain Buy with a price target of INR210 (based on FY15E SOTP). Loan growth remains strong

INDIAN BANK 3QFY13: Below est.; Weak core performance; Sharp deterioration in asset quality Indian Bank’s 3QFY13 reported PAT declined 37% YoY and 33% QoQ to INR3.5b (24% below estimate) led by

weak fee income (up 3% YoY; on a lower base) and higher provisions (INR4.1b; 50% above est.) due to sharp deterioration in asset quality (GNPA up 61% QoQ to INR31.8b; NNPA up 70% QoQ).

Reported NIMs declined 5bp QoQ (though down 51bp YoY) to 3.1% – despite sharp increase in slippages, as a result NII (declined 2% YoY) was in-line with estimate at INR11.4b.

Operating profit (declined 18% YoY; INR7.5b) and PBT (declined 50% YoY; INR 3.5b) are 16% and 46% below estimate. Near nil tax rate provided some cushion to profitability.

Valuation and View:

We downgrade our earnings estimates by 12/13% for FY13/14 to factor higher provisions and muted fee income performance. Healthy margin coupled with lower opex growth would drive core operating profit CAGR of 10% over FY12-15, whereas PAT CAGR is expected to be ~7% over FY12/15. For FY14/15, we expect INBK to report EPS of INR42/49, BV of INR276/314, RoA of 1%+ and RoE of ~16%. Largely stable margin performance despite higher slippages in 3QFY13, healthy return ratios and capitalizations are key positives. The stock trades at 0.7x FY14E BV and FY15E BV. Maintain Buy.

We will review our earnings estimate post interaction with management.

IRB INFRASTRUCTURE 3QFY13: Led by EPC business, Traffic growth remains muted In 3QFY13, IRB Infrastructure reported consolidated PAT of INR1.4b, up 9% YoY. The growth was led by higher

contribution from EPC division (PAT up 19.5%YoY at INR826m), while toll business PAT was impacted due to maintenance cost at Bharuch-Surat project (PAT at INR512m, down 17.8% YoY) and muted traffic growth.

Toll revenues stood at INR3.6b after including Ommalur-Namakkal project (acquisition of MVR done by IRB). Excluding this, toll revenues on comparable basis stood at INR3.4b, up mere by 6%. Of this, Thane-Ghodbunder project continued to witness robust growth at 8%, while revenue growth has improved for Surat-Dahisar (+9% YoY). Mumbai-Pune project revenue growth stood at 5% YoY, reflecting traffic growth. Management indicated that traffic growth is expected to remain muted at 4-5% across projects.

EPC revenue grew by 27% YoY at INR6.7b (vs INR5.3b YoY), while EBIDTA for EPC division stood at INR2b, entailing margin of 29.6%, up 170bps YoY. Management is confident of maintaining EBIDTA margin, as it is supported by in-house execution. Order book for the EPC division stands at INR91b and EPC revenue is expected at INR70b over the next 3 years (average execution of INR23b pa, INR23b in FY12, INR20b in YTDFY13). Thus, EPC division contribution would remain flat over next 2-3 years.

We expect IRB to report consolidated PAT of INR5.6b in FY13E (flat YoY) and INR6b in FY15E (up 7% YoY). Stock trades PER of 7x and P/BV of 1x on FY15E basis. Not Rated.

JK LAKSHMI 3QFY13: EBITDA down INR149/ton QoQ led by decline in realn; cutting TP 3QFY13 volumes grew by +2% YoY (+4% QoQ) to 1.25MT (including clinker of 0.125MT). Realization declined by

2.8% QoQ (+10.2% YoY) to INR3,949/ton, due to seasonal weakness in cement prices in North and West during 3QFY13. This led to net sales improvement by +12.5% YoY (+1% QoQ) to INR4.9b.

Cost/ton was broadly stable sequentially and was up by ~1% QoQ/+12%YoY (INR25/ton QoQ). Freight cost witnessed QoQ increase owing to increase in both the railway and road freight on account of increase in the diesel prices.

EBITDA stood at INR1b (+5.6%YoY, -12.1%QoQ), while margin contracted to 19.9% (-2.9pp QoQ, -1.3pp YoY). Decline realization led to INR140/ton QoQ reduction in EBITDA/ton to INR785 (+INR27 YoY), on the back of stable cost structure sequentially.

PAT de-grew -16.2%YoY to INR412m (-18.9%QoQ), led by lower other income, higher depreciation (YoY) and higher tax rate on YoY basis.

We are upgrading our EPS for FY13/14/15 by +11%/+2.5%/0% to factor in for (1) higher realizations increase of INR25/bag in FY13 (v/s earlier est. of INR23/bag), while maintained FY14/15 increase estimates of INR15/12.5 per bag, (2) lower volume growth assumption for FY14 to 8% (v/s 10% earlier), (3) higher freight cost over FY13/14, and (4) lower interest expense and other income.

2% cut in FY15 EBITDA drives a 2% downgrade in our TP to INR243 (v/s INR249 earlier). JKLC trades at an FY15E EV of USD49/ton and 3.1x FY15E EBITDA. Maintain Buy with TP of INR243 (5x FY15E EBITDA).

PAT at INR544m (+25%YoY, 0.5%QoQ), moderated by higher interest expense which includes (1) forex loss of ~INR37m and interest on sales tax liability of ~INR20m.

Grey cement volumes grew marginally by 1.9% YoY (-8% QoQ) to 1.3MT, while White cement (including Putty) continues healthy growth to 0.19mt (+40%YoY, 20%QoQ).

Grey cement realizations stood at INR3,782/ton (down INR189/ton QoQ), while blended white realization (including Putty) was up by INR476/ton QoQ to INR11,099/ton.

Blended realization was up 7.1%YoY/2.9%QoQ – led by (1) uptick White cement realizations and (2) higher revenue mix from White cement (31% v/s 24%in 2QFY13).

Grey cement EBITDA/ton deteriorated by INR49 YoY (-INR11 QoQ) to INR632. This is largely attributable to (1) QoQ decline in realizations, (2) higher freight cost and (3) negative operating leverage. EBITDA/ton at North plants stood at INR537, while South plant enjoyed profitability of INR861/ton. White cement (incl Putty) EBITDA/ton improved INR182 QoQ to INR2,909.

Valuation and view

We estimate 26% revenue CAGR over FY13-15 and expect an uptick in grey cement profitability with (1) increasing contribution from new plants, and (2) improving operating leverage.

MANAPPURAM FINANCE 3QFY12: Disappointing performance; NIM contraction, growth moderation Manappuram Finance 3QFY13 PAT declined sharply by 47% YoY (down 22% QoQ) to INR840m led by margin

contraction of 145bp QoQ and 450bp YoY to 10.5%.

Rebalancing of portfolio post RBI guidelines continue to impact AUM growth (down 16% YoY and 3% QoQ).

Loss of interest on NPAs led to higher interest reversals and led to severe pressure on profitability.

NNPA (%) remains at less than 1%. CAR at 23.4% with Tier I ratio of 21%.

Moderation in expansion, funding constraints and regulatory changes (lower LTVs) impacted AUMs, which declined 16% YoY and 3% QoQ; stood at INR103.7B. While disbursement increased by 11% QoQ to INR57Bn; higher repayments of INR60b vs INR52b a quarter ago led to decline in AUM.

Sharp drop in NIMs due to (1) under recovery of interest of INR390mn (~150bp impact on NIM) on auction of INR3.6bn of Gold and (2) Funding pressures leading to 15bp QoQ increase in cost of funds.

MGFL has made a reversal of interest income of INR 390Mn due to under recovery of INR390Mn on the gold auction (due to NPA) worth INR3.6B during the quarter; it suffered a ~10% loss on the gold auctioned during the quarter. Gold auctioned carried a higher LTV of 90%.

Management guidance: (a) A similar quantum of auction is expected in the next quarter as well; hence, the pressure on yields and margins is likely to remain during next quarter (b) Mgmt expects to grow AUM by 5% QoQ in 4QFY13 and end the year with 5% YoY decline. For FY14, it expects AUM growth to be 20%+. (c) NIM is expected to be 12% from FY14 onwards leading to ROA of 4% and ROE of 20%.

Valuation and view: While valuation 1x FY14 P/B (Consensus estimated BV of INR38) are over 50% discount to Muthoot Finance, uncertainties related to a) AUM growth b) funding constrains c) similar quantum of under recoveries expected in next quarter remains a challenge. Not Rated.

MARICO 3QFY13: Slight moderation in volume growth; impressive share gains; downgrade to NEUTRAL Marico’s 3QFY13 performance indicated a moderation in volume growth in its core categories but acceleration

Consol sales grew 11% to INR11.6b (est INR 12.2b) - domestic sales posted 16% growth (organic 10%, excluding Paras Business) while International sales remained flat in reported terms but declined 3% in constant currency.

Domestic organic volume growth at 9% is a tad lower than recent trend of 12-13%, impacted by moderation in Parachute and Saffola due to rising premium vs. competitor/unorganized segment.

Consolidated gross margins expanded 450bp to 52%, while EBITDA margin expansion was restricted to 210bp YoY to 13.9% due to higher ad expenses (up 150bp) and other expenses (up 50bp).

Domestic volumes grew 15% - Parachute rigids up 6%, hair oils 30% and Saffola 4%. It has taken selective pricing action to revive the volumes.

Paras business segment posted 18% and 21% sales growth for 3Q and YTDFY13.

Kaya: 4% SSS growth (5% revenue growth) lower than 2QFY13 due to slowdown in discretionary consumption. However, it reported a PBIT of INR38m

Valuation and view: Revise earnings down by 3-5% to account for price cuts, muted international revenues and expected higher ad-spends; downgrade to NEUTRAL

We continue to like Marico’s strategy of multiple growth driver model and sustained share gains in the core categories. However, at 29.8x FY14 and 24.2 FY15 PE, given the context of moderating volumes and lack of further margin levers, we find valuations demanding and look for better entry opportunities.

Lower revenue YoY was on expected lines as total value of volumes declined to INR37t in 3QFY13, by 3.6% YoY from INR38.4t in 3QFY12.

Although employee costs at 5.4% of revenues declined 50bp QoQ (110bp below our estimate), administration and other expenses increased 230bp QoQ (+110bp v/s our estimate) to 19.6% and offset the impact from the same.

Over 9MFY13, volumes stand at INR112.7t, down by 6% YoY. The decline is led by Silver (-31% YoY) and Gold (-14.6% YoY), offset only partially by Crude oil (+29% YoY) and Copper (+8.7% YoY). Near-monopolistic market share continued, with 9MFY13 market share at 87%, v/s 86% in FY12.

NTPC: 5 Key Success Factors in place – Capacity, Fuel, Generation, Earnings, Valuation CAPACITY ADDITIONS: Catch-up on significant slippage in 11th Five Year Plan implies new growth orbit: From

FY08 to FY12, NTPC added a mere 2 GW/Year. It has commercialised 3.8 GW in FY13 and should keep up this run rate for the next 3 years at least. Though, most of the accelerated capacity addition is a result of significant slippage in 11th 5 year plan of 57%.

FUEL AVAILABILITY: Well placed; captive mines in close proximity: Due to flat coal production from Coal India in FY11 and FY12, NTPC’s PLF came off by 500bp, things have already started to improve with growth of 11% YoY in coal dispatch from Coal India to power sector. More interestingly, 67% of coal shortage for NTPC was just from one project – Kahalgaon. NTPC here has already embarked on a project to establish inland waterways to transport coal, with restoration of captive blocks, 2 out of 5 blocks (70% of total reserves) have already seen appointment of MDO and are expected to started production in FY15. We note that ~30GW of NTPC's capacity is within ~400km of its five mines, which provides flexibility on fuel supply chain management.

POWER GENERATION: Low cost, high demand, capacity growth to propel generation growth: Pre-2010, NTPC’s power generation was assumed to be as much capacity they could put up. But things changed from FY10 on the back of two key factors: Gas based generaton dropped 30% in the period FY10-FY12 and Close to 7% of generation loss was due to DISCOMs lower drawals. But, YTD FY13 is already looking up with 6% YoY growth in generation led by – Better coal generation; and DISCOMs able to draw more power due to tariff hikes.

EARNINGS GROWTH: Earnings plateau to end, robust growth ahead: NTPC’s earnings moves in a step function. From FY02-FY05 they were in the range of INR5-INR5.5 EPS which moved to INR9 in FY08. It then remained in the range of INR10 until FY12. We expect the next step up to kick in from FY13 onwards with earnings growth CAGR from FY12 to FY15 to be 17% due to capacity addition growth of 8.5% from FY12 to FY15, PLF to increase from 81% in FY13 to 85% in FY15 on back of better coal supply and marginal uptick in gas supply

Comviva. BPO headcount declined by 2,438 employees. BT revenues are expected to decline for another two quarters before stabilizing, on ongoing consolidation at the client’s end. However, ramp-ups in deal wins should offset the impact and facilitate organic revenue growth.

Revenues from BPO have increased from 5.9% in 1QFY11 to 19.6% in 3QFY13. During this period, EBITDA margin has expanded by 220bp to 21%.

Valuation & View: The stock trades at 9.5x FY14E EPS and 8.4x FY15E EPS. We value TECHM at a 25% discount to our target multiple for HCLT due to: [1] relatively smaller scale, [2] skew of revenues towards Telecom vertical, and [3] Increasing proportion of BPO revenues.

United Spirits 3QFY13: Results largely in-line; premiumization story working Standalone sales grew by 11.3% to INR21.7b (est INR21.5b); Gross margins expanded 130bp YoY to 40.5%;

Volume growth of 7%, aided by low base (3Q12 volumes were flat) was low due to trade pressure in Tamil Nadu as the government continues to favor local brands over organized players.

Premiumization story of UNSP is continuing, as reflected in the strong 29% growth in the prestige plus brands – contribution of prestige plus brands expanded 420bps YoY to 25% for 3Q and 300bps for 9M to 23%. This led the gross margin expansion despite 5% YoY increase in ENA costs per case. Glass prices declined mid-single digits (5-7% YoY).

9MFY13 consolidated net sales increased by 18% to INR81.3b. EBITDA increased 21% to INR11.2b. Despite 29% increase in interest cost, reported PAT grew 64% led by positive swing of ~INR1bn in forex items (gain of 581mn in 9MFY13 vs. loss of INR 415mn in 9MFY12).

Consolidated net debt for UNSP marginally increased from INR 78.4b in September’12 to INR79.5b in Dec 12. Valuation and View

We remain confident of structural margin improvement in the business though accelerated brand investments will restrict margin improvement in the initial years. Given the timeframe involved in deal completion and the regulatory formalities (deal is awaiting nod from Sebi and CCI), we expect most of the benefits to start accruing in 2HFY14.

Stock trades at FY14 and FY15 P/E of 31.7x and 22.9x, respectively. BUY with TP of INR2490. Spike in input costs, regulatory overhang on the deal are key monitorables.

WIN Collage A tale of two Davoses THE brainstorming, deal making and schmoozing is over for another year. Davos Man and Woman have come down from their Swiss mountain high and headed home, including this correspondent. What were the main memories and insights they took away from this year's World Economic Forum? Glass half full. The general mood was at its most upbeat since January 2007, when the financial system was as frozen as the Davos streets. Relief that most experts judged the financial crisis to be over at last outweighed concern that economic growth and job creation seems likely to remain sub-par for the foreseeable future. (Christine Lagarde, boss of the International Monetary Fund, spoke of a "fragile and timid recovery".) Angela Merkel was among several European leaders to express optimism about the continent's economic and political prospects. Even the finding of the Edelman Trust barometer that less than one in five people trust political and business leaders to tell the truth seems to have been shrugged off. Bankers instead took comfort in the finding that trust in banks has actually risen in the past year. Leadership vacuum. There was hardly anyone from the Obama administration, though a few Republicans turned up, including Eric Cantor, the House majority leader. Bill Clinton, a Davos regular, also stayed at home, apparently looking after Hillary. The ongoing power transition in Beijing may have explained the light Chinese presence. The Russians were out in force, making sure everyone knows they are leading the G20 this year. Dmitry Medvedev, the prime minister, showed up, but President Vladimir Putin stayed at home. Euphemism of the week: Translator. When any of the army of beautiful, lightly clad young ladies flown in for the "Russian party" were asked what they did, they answered "l'm translator". French foreign legion. Business people from France were this year's tragic heroes, embraced and encouraged to persevere by their fellow capitalists from abroad, whilst their government's assault on wealth creators was widely condemned. Groups of French business men huddled together, sharing tales of adjusting to life in Belgium. Stand-up comedy. Boris Johnson, the mayor of London, enhanced his reputation as the world's favourite comedy politician with his French bashing Franglais routine; catchphrase: "Donnez-Moi un break—as we used to say in Brussels.” He also called Davos a "cyclotron of egos". Mr Johnson generally overshadowed David Cameron, Britain's prime minister, who perhaps picked the wrong audience for his earnest lecture on the evils of tax evasion. Happiest hedge-funder. Dan Loeb, of Third Point, who in the past year has shaken up Yahoo! and defended Herbalife, was over the moon at he and his hedge fund brethren being described as a "stabilising force" in the world economy by Mark Carney, the new Governor of the Bank of England. Young global leader. Whilst the official WEF Young Global Leaders were exiled to Klosters to contemplate our Schumpeter columnist's sage advice to be humble, the stage was left to an 11-year-old Pakistani, Khadia Niatzi, who explained how Massive Open Online Courses, such as those provided by Udacity and Coursera, could usher in world peace. She had got her degree in physics through online learning. When asked to leave the stage in order to make room for Bill Gates, she rightly seemed unimpressed. Celebrity corner. No Bono. No Mick Jagger. No Brangelina. This year's top celebrity was Charlize Theron, a South African film star, who turned up to support the Global Fund for Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Second, in absen tia, was Justin Timberlake, who, it was widely noted, no longer looks anything like the now 30-something Sean Parker, famous Silicon Valley investor and co-founder of Napster, who did show up for a few headline-grabbing hours. Party central. The official WEF theme this year was "dynamism and resilience". That was an apt description of the partygoing. Mr Parker allegedly blew $1m throwing an exclusive bash, co-hosted with Mark Benioff, the founder of Salesforce.com, and Ian Osborne, a youthful British PR svengali. A faded Davos night club was tarted up with stuffed

animals sporting laser-beam eyes, drinks were free, and John Legend and Mark Ronson, a DJ, supplied the music. The party was billed as a celebration of "the future of philanthropy", presumably ironically. Elsewhere, Google not only lost Marissa Meyer to Yahoo!, where she is now chief executive; it let her steal its traditional Friday night party slot. The McKinsey Party, with the same fabulous band for the umpteenth year, once again supplied the most reliable fun and packed, sweaty dance floor. Shadow Davos. Over the years, a vast "fringe" of events and parties has grown up in Davos independent of the official WEF agenda. This "shadow Davos" was bigger than ever this year, with a growing number of people following Mr Parker's lead and not even bothering with the official event and its huge fees. As with the world of banking, at Davos increasingly the real action—from doing deals to having fun—is happening in the unregulated shadow system. The WEF seems in two minds about how to respond to this, with some hosts of unofficial events grumbling about WEF officials telling them to tone things down. That is the instinct of the monopolist. Yet the WEF exists in an increasingly competitive marketplace for providing opportunities for the global movers and shakers to get together. A better strategy would be to deliver an even better official Davos in 2014.
