Today’s top research idea
Ultratech Cement: Ultratech to acquire Century Textiles’
cement assets
Acquisition bodes well for Ultratech
Ultratech’s (UTCEM’s) board has approved the acquisition of cement division of
Century textiles Industries Limited (CTIL) which has total grinding capacity of
13.4mt with 11.4mt of integrated capacity and grinding unit of 2mt.
We believe the acquisition of CTIL’s integrated cement capacity of 13.4mt at
USD106/t is positive for UTCEM as it will help in increasing UTCEM’s domestic
capacity to 106mt and capacity market share by ~3pp to 23% by FY19 end. The
acquisition cost is ~7-8% lower than the cost of JPA’s acquired assets about 2
years back. Additionally, the acquisition is earnings accretive from 1st year of
operations vs 2 years in case of JPA.
UTCEM by way of this acquisition has ensured higher market share with zero
lead time for asset creation and at valuation largely in line with greenfield
expansions which we believe is positive for UTCEM.
