Crompton Greaves to sell its overseas power subsidiaries for EUR115m:
The
board of Crompton Greaves has accepted the revised offer for sale of its
overseas T&D business from US based private equity firm, First Reserve
international for an enterprise value of EUR115m on a debt free, cash free
basis. Sales will include T&D business of Indonesia, US, Hungary, France,
Belgium and Ireland. The Systems business in US and UK are not part of the
sale agreement. Crompton Greaves expects to sign the share purchase
agreement within the next one month and to close the deal over the next six
months. The CG management has indicated its intent to refocus on the Indian
power and industrial business post this sale.
Proceeds to be used to repay debt on books:
Of the total EUR115m (INR8.5b),
CG will receive EUR84m (INR6.2b) on closure of the deal and will earn out the
balance EUR30m over the next 12-18 months. On a consolidated basis,
Crompton Greaves has gross debt of INR16b and net debt of INR9b; the sale
proceeds of EUR115m will be used by Crompton Greaves to repay its debt and
it would become a debt free company thereafter. Crompton Greaves has also
provided loans and advances of INR12b to these overseas entities to support
business operations; we expect that this entire INR12b would need to be
written off against the reserves in the company.
Loss making systems business to be wound down by 1HFY17:
The Systems
business in UK, US and Brazil are not part of the sale agreed with First Reserve.
While the Brazil business has already been shut down, the company is in talks
to sell off the systems business in US which is likely to be done by the end of
the month. The UK Systems business is already winding down and expected to
close by June-July, 2016. The UK systems business is likely to incur an
additional EUR2.5-3m of losses each quarter till the time it is closed down.
Crompton Greaves to retain its automation and drive business:
Crompton
has decided to retain its automation and drives business. Drives business
currently has revenue of EUR50m and operating margin of 8-9%. It has also
retained its automation business (ZIV) which currently has revenue of
EUR100m and has positive EBIDTA margin. Crompton Greaves however
intends to monetize the automation business by end of FY17 and are already
in talks with a few buyers for the same and the deal could fructify in FY7.
Valuations and view:
We upgrade our estimates for FY17 and FY18 by 15%
and 83%, respectively as we build in lower losses post sale of the overseas
power subsidiaries. We value the consumer business at INR130 (25x FY18e
EPS) and the Industrial businesses at INR70 (15x FY18e EPS) to arrive at our
target price of INR200. We upgrade our rating to
Buy
from Neutral.
