In-line EBITDA; gas/oil production up 8%/2% YoY
ONGC’s reported revenue of INR190b (+4% YoY, -1% QoQ) came in below our
estimate of INR199.7b due to lower sales/production ratio (-2% QoQ).
Reported EBITDA of INR104.7b (+7% YoY, +47% QoQ) was in-line, led by lower
other expenditure (USD5.5/boe v/s estimate of USD5.8/boe).
PAT grew 3% YoY (32% QoQ) to INR51.3b, beating our estimate of INR43.5b.
The outperformance at PAT level was led by higher other income at INR19.3b
(our estimate: INR8b; up 49% YoY and 126% QoQ). Other income was higher on
account of higher dividend payments from subsidiaries – INR2.3b from OVL and
INR7.5b from MRPL.
Net realization grew 7% YoY (flat QoQ) to USD51.2/bbl. ONGC’s realization was
at a discount of USD0.5/bbl to Brent in 2QFY18 as against the historical trend
of premium of USD1/bbl. Subsidy sharing was nil; we model nil subsidy sharing
for FY18, FY19 and FY20 as well.
Oil sales declined 2.8% QoQ (flat YoY) to 5.84mmt and gas sales grew 11% YoY
(+4% QoQ) to 4.94bcm. Oil production grew ~1% YoY (flat QoQ) to 6.45mmt
and gas production grew 7.7% YoY (+4.3% QoQ) to 6.26bcm.
Gas production is expected to increase again, led by completion of its
development projects. We expect gas production to increase 10-15% annually,
going ahead.
Valuation and view
Rising crude oil prices, growth in oil and gas production, and declining opex led
by cost efficiencies place ONGC on a strong footing. We raise our earnings
estimates by ~20% for FY19/20, led by increase in Brent crude price
assumption to USD60/bbl (v/s USD55/bbl earlier).
For FY18E/19E/20E, with Brent at USD55/60/60/bbl and INR/USD at
64.6/66/67, we expect EPS of INR19/22.8/22.5. The stock trades at 8.3x FY19E
EPS, and EV of 3.6x FY19E EBITDA. Using SOTP, we value the stock at
INR231/share (September 2018 TP), implying 22% upside. Maintain
Buy.
