Operating performance improved on restructuring
But, cash out flows will remains high at INR180-190b; Maintain Neutral
Consolidated EBITDA increased 43% YoY to INR22b (est. of INR11.5b) in 4QFY16.
The beat was driven by 5% higher volumes in India, lower losses at TSE and better
than estimated operating performance of other subsidiaries.
India:
EBITDA/t increased by INR1509/t QoQ to INR7681 despite flat NSR.
FAMD’s profitability improved QoQ and there was actuarial gain in staff cost.
Europe:
EBITDA loss at USD15/t was lower than est. of USD35/t due to
redundancies. INR8.6b of restructuring cost was reported in extra ordinary.
Net debt
increased by INR43b YoY to INR770b (in-line) despite INR54b of
working capital release and INR40b from asset monetization. Capex (INR115b),
interest (INR46b), dividend (INR10b) and tax (INR15b) together accounted for
INR186b of cash outflows in FY16.
Guidance for FY17E: outstanding KPO capex higher than estimates
KPO is likely to produce 1mt steel and will be EBITDA positive in first year.
NSR is expected to increase by INR3000/t QoQ in 1QFY17E.
Capex: ~INR100b (INR55b for KPO + INR35b for TSE) v/s est of INR66b.
Outstanding KPO capex surprised negatively.
TSE will realize benefit of spread expansion in 2QFY17E
Cash outflows will remain high at INR180-190b; Maintain Neutral
P&L will remain in flux due to asset sale in UK and startup costs of KPO during
FY17E. Therefore, we are basing valuations on FY18E.
We estimate cons. EBITDA of INR188b for FY18E factoring exit from UK.
EBITDA/t of INR11,307 for India and USD85/t for TSE (ex-UK) factors most of
optimism. Net debt will increase due to ~INR180-190b cash out flow towards
capex, int., div., increase in working capital and tax. We are reducing SOTP
based TP by 5% to INR307/share due to higher than estimated capex. Steel
pricing outlook too is deteriorating once again. Maintain Neutral.
