Loss higher than estimated:
On a standalone basis, Jaiprakash Power Ventures
(JPVL) reported a loss of INR1.2b, higher than our estimate of a loss of
INR663m. The reported number includes INR250m of arrears paid towards
transmission charges. Adjusted for this, the loss was INR973m. The higher
than estimated loss was due to lower generation from hydropower projects,
lower merchant realization for Karcham Wangtoo and mismatch in revenue
recognition for the Bina project.
During the quarter, the PLF of Bina was on the lower side due to lower demand
from the MP DISCOM, though PAF remained strong.
Project execution on track:
Project execution is on track, with Unit-1 of the
Nigrie project expected by November 2013 and Unit-1 of the Bara project by
April 2014. Also, coal production at Amelia mine (Nigrie project) is likely to
start by May 2013. For Dongri Tal mine, land acquisition is in progress and the
management expects coal production to commence from 3QFY14.
Cutting estimates; reiterate Buy:
We lower our PLF/generation assumption
for hydropower projects and build in 10% cost increase for the Bara project.
Our FY14E/15E earnings are, therefore, cut 13%/8% and we reduce our target
price to INR40 (from INR44 earlier). Reiterate
Buy,
as JPVL is best placed on
the PPA/FSA front.
