Reliance Industries’ (RIL) reported marginally above estimate 1QFY16 EBITDA at INR93.1b
(24% YoY and 8% QoQ), while PAT was in-line at INR63.2b (12% YoY and 1% QoQ) led by
higher depreciation and lower other income. EBITDA beat was led by higher GRM at
USD10.4 (v/s est 9.5). On telecom, apart from the business opportunity for data growth,
RIL shared key service offerings and infrastructure status. While telecom developments
will be keenly watched, recent fall in GRM is a near term concern and 3QFY17 off-gas
cracker start has delayed full upside from the core projects to FY18.

GRM surprise; Petchem inline:
1QFY16 GRM at USD10.4/bbl (+20% YoY, +3% QoQ)
was boosted by gasoline and lower energy costs. Refining EBIT stood at INR51b
(+36% YoY, +9% QoQ). Petchem EBIT at INR25b (+30% YoY, +16% QoQ) was
supported higher polymer margins with EBIT margin at 12.6% and higher volumes.
KG-D6 gas production remained flat at ~11.4mmscmd.
Core project commissioning from 4QFY16; telecom capex to cross INR1t
RIL telecom capital commitment reached USD15b in 1QFY16.
Expect Reliance
JIO to disrupt data as well as voice market given its non-legacy infrastructure and
zero dependence on voice revenue.
Core USD17b capex largely are on track.
We believe that the economics of new
projects targeted to tackle high energy costs (petcoke gasification, ethane
sourcing) could see some profitability moderation in low oil price era.
Shale gas EBIT negative:
CE is at USD8.6b, and plans to spend USD0.8b in FY16.
Production was flat QoQ and low gas prices have led to a loss at EBIT level.
Pipeline stake sale to bring in USD1b for RIL.
Consolidated net debt increased QoQ
to INR834b from INR764b in FY15.
Started 450 petroleum retail outlets
(320 in 4QFY15) and to reach 1,400 by end-
FY16. Ruled out setting up of pipelines citing costs and land acquisition delays.
Organized retail
reached 2,747 stores in 210 cities. Sales at INR47b (+17% YoY, -
2% QoQ), EBITDA of INR2b (+17% YoY, flat QoQ) and EBITDA margin of 4.3%.
Valuation and view:
Large non-core investments even if accretive over long-term;
gains will be backended, diluting overall return ratio in the interim. On FY17E basis,
the stock trades at 10.2x adj. EPS of INR100 and EV/EBITDA of 7.9x. SOTP-based
target price stands at INR983/share. Neutral.
