Aluminum CoP in first quartile of global cost curve
FCF and EBITDA growth driving equity value; Reiterating Buy
Hindalco (HNDL) reported strong standalone EBITDA of INR11.3b (+29% YoY,
adjusting for INR992m financial gains), ahead of our estimate of INR9.5b, led by
stable aluminum cost of production (CoP) as against expectations of a cost
increase. Copper business also performed well, helped by by-products despite
shutdown. PAT was up 1.7x YoY to INR2.9b. HNDL has now started reporting
segment-wise EBITDA. Ind-AS impact was insignificant on EBITDA.
Aluminum segment EBITDA/t was up ~USD90 QoQ to USD435,
driven by
higher LME and an increase in import duty from 5% to 7.5%, while costs
remained supportive. Impact of increase of INR200/t cess on coal was offset by
further gains in operating and supply chain efficiencies. While production was
flat QoQ at 308kt, sales were 11% lower QoQ at 291kt on seasonal re-stocking.
Aluminum CoP moved into first quartile of global cost curve:
HNDL has now
secured 75% of its supply with ~4.5mt additional coal linkages in recent Coal
India auction. Nearly 80% of aluminum CoP will be stable on reduced exposure
to market price of coal. At ~USD1400/t, CoP is now in the first quartile of the
global cost curve.
4% upgrade in FY17E EBITDA; Reiterating Buy:
We upgraded FY17E EBITDA by
4% to INR131b on lower-than-expected CoP. HNDL is now generating free cash
flows to equity at both Indian operations and at Novelis. We expect ~INR40b of
annual net debt reduction, while EBITDA should grow at a CAGR of 16% to
INR142b over FY16-18E. As a result, equity value will grow to INR197/share on
FY18E basis. We value the stock at INR168/share (+15%) on rolling one-year
forward basis. We reiterate our
Buy
rating.
