The Great Divide


Earnings to bounce off a low base, but quality of growth weak

Earnings growth at 11-quarter high, but quality remains weak


Continuing the narrative of the previous quarter, earnings in 4QFY17 would be
driven by the low base of a few cyclicals. MOSL universe is expected to post 11-
quarter-high earnings growth of 28%. However, excluding PSU Banks, Metals
and Oil & Gas, MOSL universe PAT is expected to decline 5.9% YoY. Entire YoY
earnings growth of INR224b for MOSL universe in 4QFY17 would be led by PSU
Banks and Metals.
We expect contribution of Global Cyclicals to increase further. Domestic
Cyclicals would account for 90% of 4QFY17 MOSL universe earnings delta;
Defensives would post a 6.5% YoY decline.
We cut our FY18/FY19 Sensex EPS estimates by 4% to INR1,572/INR1,904. We
now expect 1% EPS decline for Sensex in FY17, followed by 20% growth in FY18
on a low base of 2HFY17.

Key sectoral trends/highlights


PSU Banks would benefit from a favorable base (AQR-related provisions),
posting profit of INR34b versus losses of INR146b in the base quarter, and
contribute ~80% of MOSL universe delta PAT.
Metals are expected to post 2.8x jump in PAT to INR91b, the highest in 19
quarters.
4QFY17 would be the first-ever quarter of PAT decline for our Technology
universe.
Autos are expected to post a 32% YoY decline in PAT, led by Tata Motors (-74%
YoY). Excluding this, Autos PAT should grow 2%.
Cement, Telecom, Media, Retail and Utilities would have a lackluster quarter,
with YoY earnings decline.
In BFSI, Private Banks are expected to post 18% YoY PAT growth, led by ICICI
Bank, Kotak, Indus and Yes Bank.

Four key trends to watch out for:


1. Unexpected sharp currency appreciation of 4.5% in 4QFY17, driven by significant
pick-up in FII flows.
2. IT, Pharma, Private Banks and Consumer the primary drivers of earnings
growth for a decade have shown sharp moderation in their earnings
contribution. After growing at 23% CAGR over FY05-15 and seeing their
contribution to MOSL earnings rise 3x from 12% in FY05 to 34% in FY16, these
sectors have posted 6% earnings CAGR over FY15-17E.
3. It would be the first quarter of operating margin decline after eight consecutive
quarters of expansion. Tailwinds of benign commodity costs are now stalled.
4. Big policy reforms are long-term positive, but impacting short-term earnings.
FY16 was marred by asset quality review mandated by the RBI, while 2HFY17

April 2017 3
India Strategy | The Great Divide

has seen the adverse impact of demonetization on earnings of select consumer-


oriented sectors. FY18 will have some disruption from GST implementation.

Model portfolio changes


Majority changes in our model portfolio are driven by concerns about valuations
and our preference for earnings visibility in an era of multiple policy changes. Our
stance continues to reflect our belief that earnings growth for Defensives will
decelerate and the baton will be passed on to Cyclicals. We have reduced our
weights in Autos and Metals, and increased in Financials, Energy and Consumer.
Summary of the changes in our model portfolio:
Within financials, our overweight is centered on corporate banks where
resolution of asset quality issue can lead to meaningful re-rating in valuations.
We have raised our weight on Yes Bank post the recent capital raise. We are
also including SCUF in our model portfolio, adding to weights in NBFC.
We have reduced our Overweight in Autos. Tata Motors still remains our largest
position within Auto, albeit with a reduced weight. We have replaced Bharat
Forge with Ceat in the model portfolio.
In Consumer, we have increased weights slightly, but still stay underweight
given rich valuations. We are replacing Jubilant Foodworks with Colgate.
Within Energy, we remain positive on OMCs, with IOC as largest position. We
also introduce Petronet LNG in our portfolio by reducing some weights in BPCL.
In Capital Goods, Infra and Cement, we stay overweight on L&T as core play, but
replace Ramco with JK Cement. We are also replacing Shree Cements with BEL.
After the sharp rally in commodity names, we are reducing our weights in
Metals. We remain overweight on Hindalco, even as we shed some weight and
remove NMDC from the portfolio.
We continue with our Underweight stance on Technology, and further reduce
our weights in Tech Mahindra. We have also replaced Bharti Infratel with Bharti
Airtel.
We have increased our weight in Healthcare, and move to modest overweight
position given reasonable valuations. We introduce Ajanta Pharma in the
portfolio.
In Midcaps, we have removed several names owing to the recent rally and
consistent expansion in valuation premium v/s large caps (at 19% now v/s 11%
in December 2016). We have removed Endurance, Alkem Labs, Dish TV, Arvind,
Exide and Muthoot Finance, and replaced them with Navneet, Fortis, Delta
Corp, GDPL, Allcargo and MCX in our model portfolio.

4QFY17 PREVIEW Dj vu: Few cyclicals drive 4QFY17


Low base to aid 3 year high earnings growth; Defensives to disappoint
As we enter FY18 after an eventful year, the underlying operating backdrop remains
hazy. There are no visible signs of a recovery in earnings, even as 4QFY17
performance may be boosted by the depressed bases for some cyclical sectors. That
aside, the broader earnings picture appears subdued. FY17 began with hopes of an
ever-elusive earnings recovery, backed by expectations of good monsoon, 7th Pay
Commission awards and macro buoyancy. However, continued weakness in private
capex cycle, absence of broader consumption pick-up and sluggish asset quality
trends in financials played a spoilsport. Additionally, events like demonetization
changed the setting mid-way, leading to a flattish earnings performance. As we look
ahead, there are several unknowns emerging on the horizon currency
appreciation, GST implementation and progress of monsoon. While the impact of
currency appreciation is still quantifiable, that of GST implementation and monsoon
on near-term earnings is difficult to predict.

Dj vu: Normalization of earnings in few sectors to drive 4QFY17


The earnings picture in 4QFY17 appears to have an uncanny resemblance to that in
the previous quarter, with select sectors driving the performance led by favorable
bases. The story continues in 4QFY17, with an even more exaggerated base effect
playing out. We expect MOSL universe revenue to grow 14% YoY an 11-quarter
high (revenue was flat YoY in the base). EBITDA growth is estimated at 8.3% YoY, the
lowest in four quarters, underpinned by margins disappointment after eight
consecutive quarters of expansion for MOSL universe (ex-Financials and OMC). PAT
is likely to grow 28% YoY, the highest since 1QFY15 (18% decline in the base). Also,
4QFY17 is estimated to be the third straight quarter of double-digit PAT growth.
However, it is largely led by the depressed bases of PSU Banks (loss of INR146b in
4QFY16), Oil & Gas (PAT down 24%) and Metals (PAT down 19%). Excluding these
sectors, we estimate 4.4% YoY sales growth, 2.5% YoY EBITDA decline and 5.9% YoY
PAT fall for MOSL universe. EBITDA margin for MOSL universe (ex-OMC and
Financials) is likely to contract (by 40bp YoY to 19.8%) for the first time in nine
quarters. PAT margin for MOSL universe (ex-OMC and Financials) too is expected to
see first contraction (by 90bp YoY to 10%) in eight quarters. This would be driven by
300bp/470bp YoY contraction in EBITDA margin of Autos/ IT. Defensives are
estimated to report second consecutive quarter of YoY decline in PAT, while
Domestic Cyclicals should post 138% YoY PAT growth, despite the sluggish
performance of Autos (32% YoY PAT decline; worst in 20 quarters).

Four key trends coming to the fore


Unexpected strong INR gains in 4QFY17: The INR has appreciated 4.5% against the
USD from December 2016 to March 2017, as against consensus of moderate
depreciation. This has been the fastest quarterly currency appreciation since
September 2012. Some factors that drove this appreciation are: 1) strong control of
twin deficits (CAD, FD); 2) strong FII flows of USD11b in 4QFY17 and 3) expectations
of continued reform momentum post the BJPs massive UP election victory. We are
building in forecast of INR68.6 and INR70.9 per USD for FY18 and FY19, respectively.

April 2017 5
India Strategy | The Great Divide

Earnings bedrock of yesteryears no longer in the pink of health: The bedrock of


earnings growth over FY05-16 has been sectors like IT, Pharma, Private Banks and
Consumer, which have compounded earnings at 24%, 24%, 27% and 17%,
respectively (cumulative CAGR of 23%), as against 14% CAGR of MOSL universe. The
contribution of IT, Pharma and Private Banks to overall MOSL earnings has gone up
from 12% in FY05 to 34% in FY16. However, over FY15-17E, the growth rates for
these sectors have moderated IT, Pharma, Private Banks and Consumer have
compounded at 6%, 13%, 3% and 8%, respectively (cumulative growth of 6%), as
against 4% for MOSL universe.
Tailwinds from commodity costs deflation are a thing of the past: 4QFY17 will be
characterized by first quarter of operating margin contraction after nearly two
years. Operating margin for MOSL universe (ex- OMCs and Financials) is expected to
contract 40bp to 19.8%. Similarly, PAT margin is expected to contract 100bp to 9.9%
after seven consecutive quarters of expansion.
Policy changes adding to uncertainty: Significant policy reforms like demonetization
and GST, as well as policy changes like ban on liquor and judicial pronouncements
pertaining to BS-III to BS-IV switchover for Autos have added to element of
uncertainty in earnings forecast. The pace, frequency and magnitude of policy
changes are precluding earnings predictability.

Look beyond the base effect; underlying operating metrics weak


4QFY17 earnings growth is expected to be driven by Cyclicals: PSU Banks, Metals
and Oil & Gas are expected to drive more than 100% of YoY earnings delta for MOSL
universe, with PSU Banks alone accounting for 80% of the delta. PSU Banks are
expected to post profit of INR34b v/s loss of INR146b in the base quarter. Similarly
Metals PAT is expected to jump 2.8x to INR91b the highest absolute PAT of Metals
universe in 19 quarters. PAT growth is likely to be 139% YoY (-56% YoY in 4QFY16)
for Domestic Cyclicals and 16% YoY (-11% YoY in 4QFY16) for Global Cyclicals.
However, Defensives are estimated to report a 6% YoY decline in PAT, the lowest in
20 quarters, dragged by Technology and Telecom. MOSL universe (ex-Metals, Oil
and PSBs) PAT is likely to fall 5.8% YoY in 4QFY17, the second consecutive decline
and worst in 20 quarters. We also note that the impact of commodity inflation is
now visible, with operating margin for MOSL universe (ex-OMC and Financials) likely
to contract (by 40bp YoY to 19.8%) for the first time in nine quarters. Even earnings
breadth is expected to weaken: almost half of the universe is expected to report YoY
PAT decline, worst since June 2015. Overall, looking beyond the base effect, the
earnings print and operating metrics for 4QFY17 appear weak.

Snapshot of sector performance:


Autos are expected to be adversely impacted by commodity cost inflation, costs
related to BS-III inventory clearance, sluggish 2W sales and continued margin
headwinds for Tata Motors. Auto aggregate PAT is expected to decline 32% YoY.
Excluding Tata Motors, PAT should grow 2% YoY.
Technology is expected to witness another sluggish quarter, with muted 2%
EBITDA growth and first-ever quarter of YoY decline in PAT.
Cement (-22%), Media (-31%), Retail (-12%) and Telecom (-85%) are the other
sectors expected to report YoY PAT decline.

April 2017 6
India Strategy | The Great Divide

Private Banks (18%), Capital Goods (15%), Consumer (5%), NBFC (11%),
Healthcare (6%) and Utilities (1%) are expected to post PAT growth.
Defensives share in MOSL universe earnings would continue declining to 34%
(recent high was 47% in 4QFY16); the share of Global Cyclicals would be 30% in
4QFY17, up from 24% in 2QFY17.
Nifty sales are estimated to grow 12% YoY, the highest in 11 quarters. PAT is
likely to grow 10% YoY, the second consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
EBITDA is likely to post muted 2.4% YoY growth. Nifty aggregates would be
influenced by Cyclicals excluding PSU Banks and Metals, Nifty sales are
expected to increase by 12% YoY, EBITDA by 3% YoY and PAT by 1% YoY.
Our Sensex EPS estimates are revised downwards by 4% each for FY18/FY19 at
INR1,572/1,904. Among Sensex components, we have cut EPS estimates of
seven companies by >5% and upgraded estimates of RIL by >5%.
Nifty EPS estimates are however largely unchanged for FY18/FY19 to
INR498/599 (from INR497/605) owing to change in composition of Nifty
constituents. BHEL and Idea Cellular were replaced with IOC and Indiabulls
Housing Finance w.e.f. 31 March 2017.This has offset the negative impact of
earnings revision in other constituents in FY18/19. For FY17, Nifty estimates are
revised upwards by 3% to INR 417.

Interesting sectoral trends


Key PAT growth sectors
PSU Banks should report PAT of INR34b (v/s loss of INR146b in the base
quarter), contributing 80% of MOSL universe PAT delta in 4QFY17. PNB, BOB
and Canara Bank, which reported losses in the previous quarter, are expected to
report profits in 4QFY17. BOI and OBC are estimated to post losses.
NBFCs are likely to see moderation, posting 11% YoY PAT increase after three
consecutive quarters of 16-20% growth. Bajaj Finance (44%), Dewan Housing
(30%), Indiabulls Housing (26%), LIC Housing Finance (19%), Muthoot Finance
(23%) and Gruh Finance (18%) are expected to deliver strong performance.
Private Banks are expected to report healthy 18% YoY PAT growth the best in
nine quarters. ICICI Bank (+3.3x), RBL (71%), Yes Bank (30%), Kotak (28%) and
IndusInd (23%) are expected to post strong performance, while Axis (-61%) will
have a muted quarter.
Capital Goods sector is expected to post muted performance with flattish PAT
excluding BHEL. BHEL is expected to post 3x jump in PAT YoY, which should aid
sector PAT growth of 15%.
Metals would have a bumper quarter, reporting PAT of INR91b (+2.8x YoY) and
highest absolute PAT in 19 quarters. Hindustan Zinc (+2.7x), Vedanta (+2.1x) and
Tata Steel (+2.1x) are expected to post strong results.

Key PAT de-growth sectors


Autos would report one of the weakest performances, with 32% YoY PAT
decline (worst in 20 quarters).
Eicher, Maruti and Escorts are expected to stand out with 29%, 17% and 69%
growth, respectively.
Excluding Tata Motors (which is expected to post 74% YoY PAT decline), Autos
should post 2% YoY growth.
Cement is expected to post weak performance on account of cost pressures.
EBITDA and PAT for our Cement universe are expected to decline 17% and 22%
YoY, respectively (lowest in 14 quarters).
Technology is expected to report first-ever YoY decline in PAT (-5%), with Wipro
(-15%) and Tech Mahindra (-15%) likely to underperform among Tier I names.
Telecom would report PAT decline (-85% YoY), despite the low base (PAT was
down 2% YoY in 4QFY16). PAT of INR 4.3b for our Telecom universe is the lowest
in multiple quarters.

Four key trends for 4QFY17

1. Unprecedented Currency appreciation in 4QFY17


INR has appreciated 4.5% against USD since Dec16 in three months vs.
consensus expectations of a moderate depreciation.
This has been the fastest currency appreciation in a period of three months
since Sep12 and has implications for the earnings of our IT, Pharma and some
of the global cyclicals.
The enormity of the currency appreciation is underscored by the fact that only
in four previous occasions; the currency has appreciated by more than 4.5% in a
quarter in last 27 years.
Control on twin deficits, strong FII inflows (equity + debt) of 11b USD in 4QFY17
and expectations of continued reform momentum post massive victory of BJP in
UP elections have driven this currency appreciation, in our view.
We are building in currency forecast of INR 68.6 and INR 70.9 per USD for
FY18/FY19.
Exhibit 14: INR appreciated 4.5% in 4QFY17; only in four previous occasions in 27 years has it appreciated more in a quarter

2. Earnings bedrock of yesteryears no longer in the pink of health


The bedrock of earnings growth over FY05-16 has been sectors like IT, Pharma,
Private Banks, and Consumer.
These sectors have compounded earnings at 24%, 24%, 27% and 17% as against
14% CAGR of MOSL universe over FY05-15. Cumulatively, these four sectors
have compounded at a CAGR of 23% over FY05-15.
The contribution of IT, Pharma and Private Banks to overall MOSL earnings has
gone up from 12% in FY05 to 34% in FY16.
However, over FY15-17E, the growth rates for these sectors have moderated -
IT, Pharma, Private Banks, and Consumer have compounded at 6%, 13%, 3% and
8% respectively (cumulative CAGR of 6%) as against 4% of MOSL Universe.
Thus, even as they have outperformed our broader universe earnings growth,
their growth has slowed down sharply vs. the growth they clocked in the earlier
decade.
Over the last 12-18 months the prospects of the earnings growth for these
sectors has been clouded by various headwinds.

April 2017 12
India Strategy | The Great Divide

In IT, the growth has slowed down materially owing to structural changes in
business model in favor of digital. Additionally, in the short term the currency
appreciation impact will also hurt IT earnings.
In Pharma the earnings were impacted by regulatory headwinds as sectors finds
itself in the midst of US FDA onslaught. Additionally, the US policy on healthcare
and pricing as well as currency appreciation is also adding to uncertainty.
For Consumer sector, the moderation in consumption growth over the past two
years coupled with rising competitive intensity from new players like Patanjali
has resulted in earnings moderation.
In Private Banks, there has been a clear value migration from large corporate
oriented banks (ICICI, Axis) to Retail banks (HDFC, Kotak, Indusind, Yes). The
share of ICICI + Axis in overall Private Banks earning pool has come down from
68% in FY05 to 33% in FY17 and we expect it to stay there in FY19E.

3. Tailwinds from commodity costs deflation is a thing of past


The earnings performance of corporate India has benefitted immensely from
the commodity cost deflation witnessed over the past two years.
However, as articulated in our earlier India Strategy, we have seen the best of
the margin tailwind benefits from the benign commodity cost environment.
4QFY17 will be characterized by first quarter of operating margin contraction
after eight consecutive quarters of margin expansion.
Operating margin for MOSL (ex- OMCs and Financials) is expected to contract
40bps to 19.8%.
Similarly PAT margins for MOSL (ex- OMCs and Financials) is expected to
contract 100bps to 9.9%, after seven consecutive quarters of expansion.

4. Policy reforms: Long-term positive; impacts earnings in short term


The noticeable feature of the recent past has been big policy changes which
while structurally positive in the long term has impacted earnings in the near
term. Demonetization in FY17 being a case in point.
As we make our estimates, we note that FY18 will be characterized by the
implementation of GST, the most significant taxation reform since
independence.
GST, while a big structural positive, may induce uncertainty and earnings
volatility owing to trade adjustment of the inventory pipeline and potential

April 2017 15
India Strategy | The Great Divide

teething troubles in the initial stages of implementation. This could impact our
earnings estimates or FY18.
Apart from these big policy reforms, we also note that several other policy
changes viz. Ban on selling of liquor within 500m of proximity of state and
national highways, judicial pronouncements pertaining to BS-III to BS-IV
switchover for Auto sector have also added to element of uncertainty in
earnings forecast.
Exogenous factors like progress of monsoons bring in their own set of unique
challenges.
Overall, the pace, frequency and magnitude of policy changes have clouded the
earnings predictability at the margin.

Cyclicals driving entire 4QFY17 earnings growth


After witnessing severe stress in 1HFY17, Cyclicals like PSU Banks and Metals are
exhibiting strong recovery, driven by factors such as a depressed base, interest
rate moderation and a recovery in commodity prices. PAT for Cyclicals is likely to
grow 55% YoY in 4QFY17 (33% decline in the base).
More than 100% of YoY delta PAT is contributed by Cyclicals, as Defensives is
expected to post 6.5% YoY PAT decline, worst in 20 quarters, dragged by IT,
Utilities and Consumer.
For Domestic Cyclicals, PAT is likely to grow 139% YoY in 4QFY17 (-56% in
4QFY16), driven by PSU Banks and Capital Goods. For Global Cyclicals, we expect
PAT to grow 16% YoY in 4QFY17 (-11% YoY in 4QFY16), driven by Metals and Oil
& Gas.

Defensives to drag 4QFY17 earnings


Defensives solely drove MOSL universe PAT growth over FY14-16. Cyclicals (both
domestic and global), on the other hand, were under pressure, resulting in the
share of Defensives in aggregate PAT rising to 36%.
However, we expect Cyclicals to be the key driver of PAT growth in FY18, with
over 87% of the increase in MOSL universe PAT being driven by Cyclicals.
As a result, we expect the share of Cyclicals to increase to 72% by FY19 from
67% in FY17. Key drivers of growth within Cyclicals would be PSU Banks, Autos,
Metals and Cement.
For 4QFY17, Defensives would report 1% YoY and 6.5% YoY decline in EBITDA
and PAT, respectively, the lowest in 20 quarters.

Nifty sales and PAT growth to be 12% and 10%, respectively


Nifty PAT is likely to grow 10% YoY in 4QFY17, marking second consecutive
quarter of double-digit growth. Sales are expected to grow 12% YoY, best in 11
quarters. Nifty EBITDA, however, is likely to post muted 2% growth, lowest in
eight quarters.
The performance of Nifty would be driven by Cyclicals like PSU Banks and
Metals, which are benefiting from the depressed base of 4QFY16 and are
expected to contribute 92% of incremental YoY Nifty PAT for 4QFY17. Excluding
PSU Banks and Metals, Nifty PAT would be up by 1% YoY.
22 Nifty companies (largely from Autos, IT and Pharma sectors) are expected to
post YoY PAT decline.

EARNINGS FY17-FY19 FY17 marks another year of flattish EPS growth


Earnings growth recovery expectations delayed, again!

FY17 to be fourth consecutive year of flattish Sensex EPS growth: As curtains


come down for FY17, it marks another year of flattish Sensex EPS. The Sensex is
expected to post EPS of INR1,309 for FY17, down 1% YoY and almost at similar
levels in FY13 (INR1,330). FY17 bore the brunt of the Indian governments
demonetization drive as well as continued weak performance of Defensives
(Consumer, IT, Pharma), belying hopes of an ever-elusive earnings recovery.
FY18 starts on high hopes: We expect Sensex EPS to grow 20% to INR1,572 in
FY18 and at a CAGR of 21% over FY17-19. These growth estimates come on a
low base of the last three years, when EPS declined at 1% CAGR (FY14-17E).
Cyclicals are likely to outperform Defensives over FY17-19, with Financials,
Cement, Metals and Autos delivering 32%, 31%, 38% and 40% FY17-19E PAT
CAGR, respectively. Cyclicals would contribute 86% and 77% of MOSL universe
PAT growth in FY18 and FY19, respectively.
Earnings risk emanating from GST could impede recovery: The FY17 earnings
performance was impacted by demonetization. Even as we build in an earnings
recovery for FY18 (led by a low base of 2HFY17 and a pick-up in several cyclical
sectors), we highlight the risks to earnings from GST implementation. GST could
impact the business for two quarters on account of trade inventory adjustments
ahead of implementation and also owing to implementation related hurdles, in
our view. The risks are higher for B2C-oriented sectors like Autos, Consumer,
Consumer Durables, Cement and Midcaps.

FY17 to be another year of flat Sensex EPS; several sectors to report multi-
year low earnings growth
The 1HFY17 positive narrative for FY17 (normal monsoon, 7th Pay Commission
awards, softening interest rates) was marred by demonetization in 2HFY17.
This is reflected in our earnings estimates for FY17. Post demonetization, we
now expect another flat year of Sensex EPS down 1% YoY v/s 14% YoY growth
prediction we began with.
Several sectors are expected to report multi-year low earnings growth in FY17
Autos, Consumer, Private Banks, Telecom, Technology and Utilities. Technology,
Utilities and Telecom are impacted by sector-specific issues, while deceleration
in earnings growth for Autos, Consumer and Private Banks can be largely
attributed to demonetization.

FY17-19E estimates: Sensex EPS CAGR at 21%


We expect Sensex EPS CAGR of 21% over FY17-19, significantly higher than 3%
CAGR over FY12-17. Cyclicals would drive the performance, in our view.
We estimate Sensex EPS at INR1,309 (1% YoY decline) for FY17, INR1,572 for
FY18 (20% growth) and ~INR1904 for FY19 (21% growth).

Sensex EPS estimates cut 4%


We have cut our FY18 and FY19 Sensex EPS estimates by 4% each. We now
expect FY17 Sensex EPS to decline 1% YoY.
The lower base of FY17 (especially in 2HFY17 due to demonetization) should aid
a sharp rebound in FY18. In FY18, we build in 20% Sensex EPS growth.
However, we note that visibility of FY18 growth is hazy, given the multiple
moving parts around [1] GST implementation and [2] progress of monsoon.

Markets sprint to record-high finish to FY17


MARKETS & FLOWS
Sharp pick-up in FII flow; sectoral performance trends see reversals
After declining 9% in FY16, the Nifty gained an impressive 19% in FY17 to end at a
record-high of 9,174. Notably, the benchmark delivered three quarters of positive
returns in FY17, with the March quarter delivering the highest QoQ return since June
2014.
Over last 24 months, the index has come back a full circle, crossing 9K after first
touching that level in March 2015. At 22.5x trailing 12-month and 18.1x FY18E P/E,
valuations do not leave much room for upside, unless accompanied by an earnings
recovery, in our view.
In FY17, Brazil (+30%), the UK (+19%) and India (+19%) were the top performers among
the key global markets. MSCI EM and MSCI India both delivered 15% returns in FY17.
However, over last five years, MSCI India has outperformed MSCI EM by 104%.
Sectoral performance trends saw reversals in FY17 v/s FY16. Metals (+57%), PSU Banks
(+54%), Media (+54%), Oil (+48%) and NBFC (+41%) were the top outperformers in
FY17. On the other hand, Technology (-9%) and Telecom (-6%) were the only sectors
with negative returns. Interestingly, Metals, PSU Banks and NBFC were among the
worst performers in FY16. In FY17, mid-caps delivered 35% positive returns, as against
19% by the Nifty.
Market breadth was positive in FY17, with 40 Nifty stocks ending higher. Hindalco
(+122%), IOC (+97%), Yes Bank (+79%), Maruti (+62%) and Indiabulls Hsg. (+54%) were
the top performers on the Nifty. Infosys (-16%), Sun Pharma (-16%), Bharti Infratel (-
15%), Dr Reddys (-13%) and Aurobindo (-9%) were the worst performers.
FII flows recovered strongly to USD8.4b in FY17 (outflow of USD1.5b in FY16). Notably,
FII recorded inflows of USD6.7b in 4QFY17 the highest in last 16 quarters. In their 25
years of investment history in India, FIIs have pumped in USD175.2b in equities, of
which 74% came in the last decade. DII flows were healthy at USD4.5b (USD12.1b in
FY16).
Valuations are at modest premium to their 10-year average. The Nifty trades at a P/E
of 18.3x, above its long-period average of 16.9x. At 2.7x, the Nifty P/B is near its
historical average. RoE is at 15.2%, near its long-term average. Market cap-to-GDP
ratio stands at 80% (FY17E GDP), above its long-term average of 78%.

Sector valuations: Room for P/E expansion limited; surprise on earnings
growth crucial for further upside
PSU Banks trades at a 15% discount to historical average P/B. It was the second
best-performing sector in FY17 (+54% return), with large trading gains in 3Q
cushioning elevated stress additions for most PSU banks. However, with interest
rates inching up, trading gains are expected to moderate significantly in
comparison to 3QFY17. Sustained traction in large corporate deleveraging and a
reduction in net slippages are the key catalysts for re-rating.
Metals trade at a P/B of 1.4x, implying a 12% discount to historical average.
EV/EBITDA is at 6.8x, a 7% discount to historical average. The sector was the top
performer for FY17, with 57% positive return. Domestic steel long product prices
were higher, but flat product prices declined due to lower global steel prices.
Technology trades at a P/E of 15.2x, below its historical average (6% discount). It
was the worst performing sector in FY17, with 9% negative return. As the
4QFY17 earnings season gets closer, we note that the sharp INR appreciation
seen over last few weeks has started creating worries around margin sustenance
and consequent impact on earnings, offsetting any fizzing out of immediate
regulatory hurdles in the US.

Automobiles
Company name Quarter of uncertainty
Amara Raja Batteries 2Ws likely to see decline; CVs to be flat, while PVs relatively well placed
Ashok Leyland
4QFY17 should be a quarter of uncertainty for the auto OEMs, as we see impact of a)
Bajaj Auto
BS3 verdict of the SC on 2W/CV players, b) Gujarat plant commissioning on Maruti and
Bharat Forge
c) increase in yields on cash-rich players.
BOSCH
CEAT We believe 2W/3W players are likely to be the worst hit, as the rural segment has still
Eicher Motors not fully recovered from the impact of demonetization. We estimate 2W/3W volumes
Escort
to decline by ~2%/16% YoY. Volumes of PVs are expected to grow by 7% YoY in
Exide Industries
4QFY17, while those of CVs should remain flat (despite pre-buying).
EBITDA margin for our auto OEM (ex-JLR) universe is likely to hit an 8-quarter low,
Hero MotoCorp
declining 120bp YoY (-30bp QoQ) to 12.5%. The CV pack (due to uncertainty on impact
Mahindra & Mahindra
of BS-III ban and lower-than-expected pre-buying), along with MSIL (due to impact of
Maruti Suzuki
commissioning of Gujarat plant) and BJAUT, is expected to see margin contraction.
Tata Motors
We have lowered our FY17 EPS estimates for AL (-12%), TVSL (-6%), BOS (-3%) and
TVS Motor Company
HMCL (-2%), and increased for EXID (+2%) and MM (+2%).
Our top picks are MSIL and TTMT among large caps, and AMRJ among mid-caps. We
also believe that MM is the best play on a rural market recovery.
2W/3Ws to see decline; CVs to be flat, while PVs relatively well placed
2W sales are expected to decline ~2% in 4QFY17. Sales growth in PVs is expected to
be at 7.5%, while that in UVs is expected to moderate to 6%. PVs were less
impacted, primarily due to waiting periods in many models of OEMs as well as lower
cash component. CV volumes are expected to be flat, with LCVs volumes declining
by 1% and M&HCV volumes growing by ~3%. Many fleet operators have postponed
their purchases (despite shift from BS-III to BS-IV) on account of liquidity crunch post
demonetization and also in anticipation of benefits from the looming GST
implementation.
EBITDA margins at 8-quarter low; to decline 120bp YoY
EBITDA margin for our Auto OEM (ex-JLR) coverage universe is likely to contract
120bp YoY (+90bp QoQ), with BS-III vehicle ban leading to heavy discounts by
2W/CV players and also considering the impact of Gujarat plant commissioning for
MSIL. Also, pre-buying has not been as expected. We expect margins to shrink for
the CV pack, with TTMT S/A (-490bp YoY), AL (-110bp), VECV (-160bp), BJAUT (-
100bp YoY) and MSIL (-80bp YoY) witnessing contraction and EIM (+240bp) seeing
expansion.
Volumes for CVs/2Ws to moderate with BS-IV implementation
We believe volumes are likely to soften, with the apex courts ban on BS-III vehicles
post 31 March 2017 leading to preponement of buying (as many CV/2W players
offered aggressive discounts).
Valuation and view
We are lowering our FY17 EPS estimates for AL (-12%), TVSL (-6%), BOS (-3%) and
HMCL (-2%), while raising our estimates for EXID (+2%) and MM (+2%). Demand
environment and changing competitive landscape would be the key determinants of
the stock performance. Our top picks are Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Amara
Raja. We also believe MM is the best play on a rural market recovery.

Demonetization weathered; revival underway

ABB

Bharat Electronics Domestic capex cycle reviving; exports hamstrung by weak global demand
BHEL The domestic capex cycle appears to have bounced back post demonetization. CMIE
data indicates that new investment proposals by India Inc stood at INR2.6t (+82%
Crompton Greaves
QoQ) for the March quarter against an average of INR2.3t per quarter in the
Crompton Greaves Consumer preceding 10 quarters. Though the near-term outlook remains subdued, policy
Cummins India initiatives and efforts are underway to (i) expedite regulatory approvals, and (ii)
GE T&D establish monetary conditions conducive to industrial revival in the medium term.
Havells India We believe investment revival would be triggered by: (i) sustained recovery in
Larsen & Toubro consumption demand, and thus, capacity utilization, and (ii) investment push by
the public sector, leading to a virtuous cycle of cash flow generation.
Siemens
Simultaneously, sustained progress in reviving stalled projects is imperative to
Thermax attract new investments and stimulate aggregate demand.
Voltas By initiating GST, labor and energy sector reforms, the government has partly
addressed concerns on the pace and extent of reforms. Implementation of
substantive reforms is essential for structured investment growth.
Indian machinery exports have decelerated due to factors such as weak global
demand, geopolitical concerns and sharp currency volatility across several
markets. Also, falling crude prices had an adverse impact on global trade, and
thus, investment demand. Project awards in the Middle East have been muted
in fact, revenue estimates for global industrial players suggest that sluggishness
has continued for around nine quarters.

Equipment manufacturers key beneficiaries of Make in India initiative


Make in India is the central governments initiative to improve the manufacturing
sectors contribution through import substitution and increased exports. The intent
is to ensure that customers in the public and private sectors increasingly procure
locally-manufactured equipment. Power Grid has mandated T&D players to
manufacture certain components in India for orders tendered out in key high-end
technology products such as SVC/STATCOM, GIS, 765KV transformers and reactors,
HTLS conductors, OPGW and HVDC.

In our opinion, successful implementation of this initiative should benefit capital


goods players. Increased imports over the past 5-6 years, particularly from
China/South Korea, have been a critical area of concern across several product
segments, even where domestic manufacturing capabilities and competitiveness
exist. Key beneficiaries include BHEL/Siemens (railways, solar cells, power T&D,
defense, etc), L&T/BHE (defense), ABB/Alstom/CGPower/Siemens (power T&D, etc)
and TMX (industrial products/power BTG).

Ordering activity supported by finalization of base orders


Overall ordering activity has been impacted by delay in finalization of large
orders (>INR15b) and restrained capex activity by the private sector.
Local ordering activity has seen some improvement, led by finalization of base
orders. After remaining subdued for most of 2015, tendering has seen some
improvement since January 2016, mainly supported by central government
activity. Sector-wise, roads, railways, power T&D and defense registered strong

Overseas project awards, particularly in the Middle East, have started to see
some signs of revival since 4QFY16, despite a sharp decline in crude oil prices.
Growth in large orders is imperative to further boost ordering activity.

ACC Exit realizations much better than average realizations for 4QFY17
Ambuja Cements
Volume growth trajectory normalizing post demonetization
Dalmia Cement
All-India production dropped sharply by 14% YoY during January-February 2017;
Grasim Industries
however, we expect the pace of decline to ease to 4% YoY in March, led by a
India Cements meaningful improvement in volumes. Consequently, FY17 volumes for all-India
Shree Cement cement could be lower by just ~1% YoY. Region-wise, the north and central markets
Ramco Cement witnessed a sharp improvement in volumes in 4QFY17 (v/s December levels), while
the southern markets saw some slowdown due to water shortage in Tamil Nadu and
UltraTech Cement
Kerala. However, the AP/Telangana markets continue driving demand growth.

We expect the MOSL cement universe to record volume growth of ~2% YoY (+17%
QoQ). We expect: (a) pan-India players to report volume growth of 0-2% YoY, (b)
players with capacity headroom (SRCM, JKLC) to deliver 5-11% YoY increase in
volumes, (c) moderation in volumes growth for south-based companies to 5% YoY
due to a high base as well as slowdown in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

For 1QFY18, we expect industry volumes to show modest growth YoY due to a
relatively strong base. However, in 2HFY18, we expect volume growth to be strong,
considering the favorable base (2HFY17 volumes estimated to lower by 6% YoY).

Exit prices strong


Prices declined sharply in January, particularly in the north and central markets due
to weak volumes in December. However, we note that there were sharp price hikes
in February/March this year in the north and central markets. In addition, price
hikes have been very strong in the first week of April across India.
ASP should decline by 3% QoQ in 4QFY17 due to weak realization in the north and
south markets. We estimate price changes of: (a) 1% QoQ in north India, (b) 2% QoQ
in central India, (c) -7% QoQ in west India, (d) -2% QoQ in east India and (e) -10%
QoQ in south India.

Profitability likely to be lower


Weaker realizations, coupled with cost push (higher power and fuel prices), should
result in a sequential decline in profitability. The impact would be particularly
pronounced for the players in the south, where price correction has been more
dominant. We estimate EBITDA/ton for the MOSL cement coverage universe at
INR685 (-11% QoQ, -18% YoY).

Top picks: Shree Cement, Ramco Cement and JK Cement


We prefer Shree Cement due to its superior return ratios RoIC in excess of 50%
with 20% EBITDA CAGR over FY17-19. Ramco Cement is likely to generate free
annual cash flows of INR7b-8b, given its strong profitability; it generates free cash
flow yield of 6-7%. JK Cement is a pure play on the expected price improvement in
the north as well as strong improvement in white cement performance (40% market
share in white cement).

April 2017

Consumer
Another quarter of muted revenue growth
Company name Rising raw material costs likely to hurt margins
Asian Paints
Britannia Industries Subdued quarter with pressure on margins
Colgate We expect our consumer universes revenues to increase 4.5% YoY in 4QFY17, with
Dabur PAT growth of 5.3%. The lingering effects of demonetization are likely to continue
Emami impacting the companies, particularly those with higher proportion of wholesale
Godrej Consumer trade and greater exposure to rural as well as north and east regions. The MOSL
GSK Consumer consumer universes EBITDA is likely to increase by only 2.6% YoY, with 40bp margin
Hindustan Unilever contraction. Barring Nestle, United Spirits and Jyothy Labs, we expect near
ITC
flattish/or a decline in YoY EBITDA margin for all other FMCG companies due to
Jyothy Labs
weak sales growth and favorable base of commodity costs coming off (with prices of
many commodities sharply increasing YoY). Moreover, ad spends are unlikely to
Marico
decline steeply enough to protect margins for most companies. We expect ITCs
Nestle India
sales to increase by 1.3% YoY (with a 4% decline in cigarette volumes) and PAT by
Page Industries
8.4% (mainly due to high 36% tax rate in the base quarter). HUVRs sales growth is
Parag Milk Foods
estimated at 4.5% (volume decline of 0.5%), with 100bp EBITDA margin contraction.
Pidilite Industries
Nine of the 18 companies under our coverage are likely to report a decline in EBITDA
P&GHH
YoY, with five others estimated to report EBITDA growth in the range of 0-5%.
United Breweries
Nestle, United Spirits and Jyothy Labs are likely to report double-digit EBITDA
United Spirits
growth, mainly due to a low margin base. GCPL too is expected to do well as only
half of its business comes from India. Mainly due to lower/higher-than-usual tax
rates in 4QFY16, PAT growth variance may be higher/lower than EBITDA growth for
some companies.

RM costs, promotions and new launches


PFAD and palm oil prices saw steep YoY inflation of 28% and 30%, respectively, on
average in 4QFY17. Ti02/mentha prices increased 13%/11% YoY on average. Copra,
LLP and HDPE prices were up 49%, 30% and 7% YoY, respectively, for the last
reported month. Companies have started taking selective price hikes/grammage
reduction/lessening offers following an increase in raw material costs. Promotion
intensity is reducing sequentially. Majority of new launches are likely to be
postponed to 1QFY18 due to the prevalent weak environment.

Preference for quality and longevity of growth


The consumer sector is characterized by rich near-term valuations, given the
markets continued preference for quality with healthy growth. Our framework for
earnings visibility, longevity of growth and quality management drives our choices in
the sector universe. We continue preferring Britannia, Colgate, Marico, P&G
Hygiene and Emami, notwithstanding the near-term challenges. In the discretionary
pack, while the near-term outlook is highly challenging, we like Page Industries and
United Breweries.

Union Bank of India continue to see ageing-related NPA provisions (RBI AQR led to bulk of NPAs in
Yes Bank 2HFY16). Hence, overall provisions would continue to dent earnings.
We expect pressure on asset quality to continue as (a) expected resolution in
the steel sector is delayed; (b) some large accounts may be recognized as NPA,
and (c) the lag impact of demonetization results in slippages from small value
accounts. RBI AQR in FY16 led to high NPAs, and due to weak recoveries till
date, provision levels are likely to remain elevated (ageing of NPAs).
We expect healthy growth in retail products like housing loans, vehicle loans
(push towards end of the quarter due to BS-III vehicle ruling by the Supreme
Court), and continued traction in unsecured personal loans and credit cards.
The big impact of demonetization would be shift in market share from
unorganized to organized credit. This along with low interest rates and
improvement in resolution process for stress loans would benefit Financials.
We are rolling forward our target price by a quarter. We also adjust cut earnings
estimates to factor in moderation in loan growth and delayed recoveries. Any
concrete announcement related to stress assets resolution by RBI/GOI
announcement will be the key positive. Our top picks amongst corporate
lenders are ICICIBC, SBIN and PNB. Amongst mid-sized banks we like YES and
Equitas.

Loan growth at a multi-year low dragged down by corporate loans


Loan growth at the system level is at a multi-year low of ~5%, as (a) demonetization
impacted growth during the busy season, (b) corporate loan growth collapsed (-5%
YoY as of February 2017) due to weak investment sentiments and excess capacity in
place (c) demand for working capital loans was weak due to continued economic
moderation, (d) banks/FIs took a cautious approach to SME/LAP/MFI, etc and weak
resolutions to NPA accounts (e) FCNR (B) deposit-related loans came up for
redemption, and (f) repayments from loans completing the restructuring
moratorium were higher.
Improvement in sentiment (led by improving liquidity at the ground level) and
fiscal/monetary policies hold the key for loan growth improvement. We expect retail
growth to show better traction for private banks sequentially due to pent-up
demand of demonetization period and Supreme Court ruling on BS-III. We expect
mid-sized private banks to grow at 4-5x system growth during the quarter.
Core NIMs under pressure - bulk financiers to benefit in the near term
We expect NII to grow ~5% QoQ (interest reversals on SDR guidelines) and YoY
(lower base due to RBI AQR) for state-owned banks. For private banks we expect NII
to grow 11% YoY (+3% QoQ) amongst these mid-sized private banks are expected
to report 22% YoY growth. Weak loan growth would be the key reason for the
moderate topline growth at the sector level. Sharp reduction in the MCLR rates in
3Q would also impact yields on loans, negating the benefit of high interest income
reversals in 3QFY17 and lower cost of funds. Increasingly, intense competition in the
refinancing market and retail loans should put some pressure on blended yields.
Reduction in cost of funds would marginally negate the impact of pressure on yields.
Profit on sale of investments to decline QoQ
During the quarter, bond yields increased by 39bp till mid-March 2017 however,
declined 22bp thereafter to end the quarter with overall 17bp increase QoQ.
Increase in Yields during large part of the quarter would restrict profit on sale of
investment during the quarter. We expect it to decline significantly QoQ. Banks
parked the excess liquidity received during the demonetization period into G-Sec. in
some cases we expect MTM hit on investment portfolio. During the last quarter,
SBIN had booked gains on life insurance stake sale. MTM/realized losses on equity
exposure (taken via SDRs) would marginally negate gains on the investment
portfolio. CBK booked gains on the stake sale of 13.5% into its Housing finance arm.
Asset quality stress to be elevated
Factors likely to continue weighing on performance include (a) banks clean-up
exercise (expect largely from Restructured Loans and watch list), (b) non-fund-based
exposure turning into NPAs for some stressed corporates, (c) impact on the supply
chain of stressed large corporates, and (d) lack of resolution of large stress/NPA
exposures. Performance of SME and agriculture portfolio would be the key thing to
watch out for considering the lag impact of demonetization and loan
waivers/drought in some large states. .
We factor net slippage ratio of 2.5% (2.4% in 3QFY17) and provision-to-operating
profits of 82% (79% in 3QFY17) for state-owned banks and 33% (37% in 3QFY17) for
private sector banks. Bulk of the slippages happened in 2HFY16 due to RBI AQR and
ageing of NPAs, which would lead to higher provisioning charge.
April 2017 123
March 2017 Results Preview | Sector: Financials - Banks

Core operating profits under pressure; trading gains key to profitability


Core revenue growth is likely to remain muted YoY, led by moderate balance sheet
growth, stable/declining margins and moderate fee income growth. Pressure on
earnings is likely to increase due to expected decline in non-core revenue and
elevated credit cost. Private sector banks would continue outperforming state-
owned banks. Over the past 2-3 years, Indian banks (mainly state-owned banks)
have sold assets worth ~INR1t to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs). We believe
write-downs and the resultant MTM provisioning (as per RBIs guidelines) would
begin in the ensuing quarters due to delayed resolution. We expect private banks
earnings to growth 18% YoY (+2% QoQ) and state-owned banks earnings to be
INR34b against a loss of INR146b in 4QFY16.

Prefer mid-sized private banks; ICICIBC and SBIN top large-cap picks
Delayed resolution of stress assets, lack of growth capital, and increasing
competition from private banks continue to mar performance of PSBs. In our view,
concrete steps by RBI/GOI to resolve stress loans would be the key to stock
performance for corporate lenders. In the meanwhile, mid-sized private banks with
significant excess capacity in place would continue to report strong core earnings
growth. We expect market share gains to accelerate for them.

We are closely looking at the activities at the ground level / management


commentary for small value delinquencies (expected to hit in 1QFY18) due to
demonetization. We are rolling forward our target price by a quarter. We also cut
earnings estimates to factor in moderation in loan growth and delayed recoveries.
Rather than current quarter earnings, management commentary on business
growth in the ensuing quarters (with more data in place) is important. Our top picks
amongst corporate lenders are ICICIBC, SBIN and PNB. Amongst mid-sized banks
we like YES and Equitas.

Recovery in growth/asset quality; MFI segment remains a concern
Bajaj Finance

Bharat Financial Inclusion We expect NBFCs under our coverage to report PAT growth of 11% YoY in 4QFY17.
While there has been some pick-up in February/March due to various reasons (lifting

pent-up demand), we expect disbursement recovery to continue.
HDFC We expect the true impact of demonetization on asset quality to be felt in 4QFY17/
Indiabulls Housing 1QFY18 for accounts that turned overdue in November/December, the
LIC Housing Fin 90dpd/120dpd would fall in 1HCY17. In our view, HFCs are best placed on asset
quality. There could be some pain in vehicle finance and MSME/LAP segments, though
M & M Financial
collection efficiency is picking up.
Muthoot Finance We would closely look at the margin performance of HFCs, considering the sharp
Repco Home Fin MCLR cuts and the significant proportion of incremental funding from bonds. We
Shriram City Union Fin expect sequential decline in incremental spreads for HFCs.
Within our NBFC coverage universe, BAF is likely to post 40%+ PAT growth, driven by
Shriram Transport Fin.
strong performance in CDs and 2W financing. Among HFCs, DEWH and IHFL are likely
to post earnings growth of 25%+ YoY, which is commendable. Repco Home Finance
and Bharat Financial Inclusion could report subdued performance.

Housing finance companies: Barring Repco Home Finance, all HFCs under our
coverage are likely to post AUM growth in line with past trends. Loan growth in
Repco is likely to slow down due to the regulatory environment in Tamil Nadu;
however, with the recent Madras High Court order, growth should pick up in FY18.
Continued reduction in cost of funds remains a key positive. HFCs with large share of
bank borrowings, such as Repco, should start to witness the benefit of the MCLR
cuts by banks announced in January. Commentary on recent interest subvention
schemes would be the key thing to look out for in the affordable housing finance
segment. Players with a high share of self-employed customers and LAP/builder
loans are likely to witness slowdown in disbursements. Asset quality performance in
these players is a key thing to watch out for.

Asset finance companies: We expect divergent performance among asset


financiers. Bajaj Finance is likely to report strong AUM as well as PAT growth due to
strong performance in the 2W and consumer durables segments. We expect growth
for vehicle finance players like SHTF and MMFS to pick up sequentially. Additionally,
SHTF and SCUF would have to migrate to 120dpd NPA recognition, which would
have 100-150bp impact on GNPL.

Microfinance companies: As guided by the management, BHAFIN is likely to report


AUM growth of ~3% QoQ. Margins should improve YoY given the recent equity
capital infusion. However, the key thing to look out for is the collection efficiency
trend in key states like Maharashtra, TN, UP and Karnataka. Also, the quantum of
write-offs/provisions in the quarter is a key monitorable.

March 2017 Results Preview | Sector: Healthcare

Healthcare
Company name Pricing pressure in the US to keep growth under check
Ajanta Pharma
Alembic Pharmaceuticals We expect our pharma universe to report low double digit EBITDA growth in
Alkem Labs 4QFY17, largely led by pricing pressure and higher R&D expenditure. Also,
Aurobindo Pharma increased US regulatory scrutiny is resulting in higher remediation expenses and
Biocon de-risking of key products. This, in turn, should weigh down on operating
Cadila Healthcare margins for our coverage universe.
Cipla
Glenmark is expected to exhibit strong growth in the US, led by Zetia FTF and a
Divi's Laboratories
series of other generic launches. Aurobindo should report stable US sales, driven
Dr Reddy s Labs
by key launches (including Crestor). On the other hand, Sun and Lupin should
Fortis Healthcare
Glenmark Pharma
continue witnessing a sequential decline in the US business on the back of
Granules India competition in key products.
GSK Pharma After a strong 1HFY17, the domestic pharma business is expected to face
Ipca Laboratories headwinds from seasonal weakness and demonetization. Although the chronic
Lupin business may benefit at the margin due to demonetization, the acute segment
Ranbaxy Labs may be see some impact in the near term.
Sanofi India Among MNCs, Sanofi is likely to report better numbers, while GSK should face
Sun Pharma some pressure from the ongoing supply issues.
Torrent Pharmaceuticals
The pace of approvals has picked up at the US FDA. However, the lack of key
approvals, higher R&D spends and regulatory concerns in the domestic/US
markets are likely to keep growth under check.
We maintain our top picks Aurobindo, Sun Pharma, Fortis and Granules.

USD/INR remained largely stable during the quarter


The average rate of the INR against the USD has appreciated by ~0.73% YoY over
the past year (67.00 in 4QFY17 v/s 67.49 last year).
USD/INR, has shown an upward trajectory with the INR appreciating by 2.97%
over the last month of the 4Q. Any further appreciation in INR could have a
significant MTM impact for companies.
Brexit was expected to have a negative impact on companies from 2QFY17.
However, we note that most Indian companies have limited exposure to the UK
market (<1-2% of sales). Also, post the Brexit vote, it is still unclear whether or
not Indian companies will have to conduct separate trials for approval in the UK
and other EU markets. Separate trials would mean additional cost for companies
(however, this is not expected to happen at least for next two years).

EXIM originating container rail volume grew ~2% YoY in January-February 2017,
Gateway Distriparks
indicating positive volume growth for the quarter.
Margins are unlikely to improve meaningfully, given increased competitive intensity.
Sequential improvement in earnings for CCRI would be due to low base in 4QFY16.
GDPLs earnings are likely to face downward pressure.

EXIM originating container volumes to grow ~2% YoY


EXIM originating volume by rail is likely to improve by ~2% in 4QFY17. During
January-February 2017, EXIM container volumes were up ~2% YoY.
CCRI is likely to report EXIM volume growth of 12% YoY for 4QFY17, led by
recovery in industry EXIM volumes.
GDPL is likely to report ~10% YoY volume growth in the rail segment, led by
ramp up of Faridabad terminal.

Margins likely to be flattish sequentially


We expect CCRI to report flat margins QoQ, as higher volumes would be offset
by rate rationalization in select routes by key players.
GDPL should see some sequential improvement in rail profitability, led by higher
proportion of double-stacking.
AGLL is likely to see marginal improvement in margins, led by profitability
improvement in MTO segment.

Lower leads to hurt margins


Lead distance for EXIM trade by rail has declined by ~5% YoY (January-February
2017) due to higher container movement from the Mundra and Pipavav ports
than from JNPT.

March 2017 Results Preview | Sector: Media

Media
Company name Demonetization hangover receding, albeit gradually
D B Corp Adjusted aggregate earnings to grow 12% YoY
Dish TV India
Hathway Cable & Datacom Expect subdued ad revenue growth: We expect ad revenue for our Media universe
HT Media to grow at a meager ~3% YoY, lower than the 7-13% growth in the preceding 4-5
Jagran Prakashan quarters (ex 3Q). The demonetization hangover is expected to recede slower-than-
PVR earlier expected. The recovery would be slower for Print companies, given higher
Sun TV
reliance on local/retail advertisers, who are most impacted by the cash squeeze.
Zees ad growth is expected to moderate to ~2% YoY after four quarters of strong ad
Zee Entertainment
revenues (ex 3Q). The sluggish performance is expected to be a function of (1)
slower-than- expected recovery from demonetization, and (2) one month impact on
ad revenue from sale of sports business to Sony. Like-to-like ad growth is estimated
to be ~4%. Sun TVs ad recovery too is expected to be gradual. Recovery is expected
to be even slower for niche channels and publishers. Our industry interactions
suggest that a full recovery is likely by 1QFY18.
Expect adjusted aggregate Media universe earnings to grow 12% YoY: While
aggregate earnings are expected to decline 27%, adjusted aggregate Media sector
earnings (adjusted for a one-time deferred tax reversal of INR4b by Dish TV in
4QFY16) are expected to grow 12% YoY, largely driven by broadcasters. Print
earnings are likely to remain flat YoY and distribution platforms should see a decline
in profitability, largely contributed by Dish TV. Zee/Sun TV are expected to clock
earnings growth of 48%/4% YoY. Within the print pack, earnings of DB Corp, Jagran
and HT Media are expected to grow 1%, 8% and 6%, respectively. The hangover of
demonetization is likely to partially impact gains from the UP elections for JAGP and
smaller rivals, HT Media and HMVL. Dish TV too is expected to see an impact on
profitability, as 4Q is a seasonally weak quarter and recovery from the impact of
demonetization has been slower than expected, especially on box deployment.
Expect monetization to improve over the next two quarters for Pay TV operators;
increased activity likely toward phase-III seeding: We expect monetization for Pay
TV operators to improve over the next two quarters, as all stay orders on DAS-III
implementation have been lifted by the Delhi High Court. This should drive
increased MSO share in digital cable revenue, the key to improve economics of
MSOs as well as pricing for broadcasters and DTH operators. However, with phase-
I/II monetization remaining sub-par, we expect MSOs to be more cautious in phase-
III markets. We expect subscriber additions of 230k for Dish TV and model 0.6m
gross additions for the quarter.
Digitization upside, ad growth revival remain key themes: Subscriber-level ARPU
increases in phase-I/II markets and phase-III digitization are key growth triggers.
MSOs are likely to witness profitability improvement, as they continue to drive
monetization efforts in phase-I/II/III. FMCG-led ad spend outlook remains weak;
however, any revival in the same coupled with renewed spends by Telecom and
Auto over the next two quarters could keep ad growth healthy. Broadcasters as well
as print companies would be the key beneficiaries of the same, in our view.

Hindalco Another strong quarter as prices/volumes increase
Hindustan Zinc Nalco, Tata Steel and Vedanta lead the pack
Jindal Steel & Power
Another strong quarter driven by higher prices and volumes
JSW Steel
Our metals coverage universe is expected to report another strong quarter, with the
Nalco
companies benefiting from higher commodity prices and volume growth. Retail flat
NMDC steel prices were up ~8% QoQ or INR3,000 per ton in 4QFY17, driven by higher exit
SAIL prices in 3Q. Flat steel product prices increased by ~INR2,000/t at the beginning of
Tata Steel the quarter, but lost momentum in the subsequent months due to weak domestic
Vedanta demand and lower input product prices. Long steel product prices recovered from
the impact of demonetization. Realized price for steel mills would be lower due to
discounts and higher share of exports. Among base metals, aluminum LME was up
8% QoQ to USD1,848/t, primarily led by higher input cost of coal and alumina for
Chinese smelters. Spot premiums also moved up, leading to an all-in aluminum
increase of 12% QoQ to USD1,951/t. Alumina price average was up ~12% QoQ to
USD341/t. Zinc LME increased 11% QoQ to USD2,777/t, led by favorable supply
dynamics. Silver prices were unchanged QoQ at INR41,447/kg. Sales volume for our
coverage universe: (a) steel up 8% QoQ/YoY led by an increase in exports and (b)
aluminum up 20% QoQ led by ramp-up at Vedantas smelters.

Nalco, Tata Steel and Vedanta to outperform


We estimate EBITDA for our metals coverage universe to increase 17% QoQ (1.7x
YoY), led by higher realization and volumes. Nalco, Tata Steel and Vedanta are likely
to outperform. Nalcos EBITDA is estimated to almost double QoQ to INR5.3b on
account of higher LME aluminum/alumina prices and increased alumina volumes.
Ramp-up of the smelter should lead to ~2% QoQ increase in aluminum volumes,
with strong growth potential as the ramp-up gathers pace in FY18.

Vedanta benefits from higher prices/volumes across businesses


Vedantas EBITDA is estimated to increase 23% QoQ/+2x YoY to INR73b, led by
strong volume- and price-led growth in zinc, aluminum and crude oil. Zinc business
profitability is likely to be boosted by 11% higher mine output and LME gains.
Aluminum volumes are expected to increase 15% QoQ. LME gains are expected to
be partially offset by an increase in cost of alumina. Crude oil volumes should
increase 3% QoQ (to 119kbpd) on a weaker base. Hindalcos standalone EBITDA is
estimated to increase 7% QoQ to INR32b, with the benefit of higher aluminum
prices offset by increased alumina transfer price from Utkal. Utkal EBITDA, however,
is estimated to more than double QoQ to ~INR4b.

Price gains offset by cost increase for steel companies; Tata Steel to outperform
The increase in domestic steel prices would be offset by higher input product prices
and costs associated with higher exports. As a result, we estimate margins for
domestic mills to be broadly flat QoQ. Tata Steel is expected to outperform with an
EBITDA +91
Sanjay Jain (SanjayJain@motilaloswal.com); increase of 5412
22 3982 31% QoQ to INR46b, driven by a recovery in margins at Europe

from USD38/t QoQ to USD58/t. Tata Steels 3Q was also impacted by ~INR3b of FX
adjustment. JSW Steels EBITDA is estimated to be broadly flat QoQ at INR29b, as
margins are expected to be lower QoQ (to INR6,945/t) due to higher coking and iron
ore cost and certain one-time by-product sales benefit in the previous quarter. JSPs
EBITDA is estimated to increase 3% QoQ to ~INR58b.

Revising aluminum LME estimate; TP for HZL and VEDL revised to factor in
dividend payment
We revise our USD/INR estimate from 70 to 68.6/70.9 for FY18/19. LME aluminum is
revised from USD1,700/t to USD1,750/t, led by strong cost support. Tata Steels
target price is upgraded by 12% to INR440/share on currency and margin upgrade in
EU maintain Sell. Hindustan Zinc and Vedantas target price is cut to factor in
dividend payment. Our revised TPs are presented in Exhibit 15, Exhibit 16 and
Exhibit 17.

Indraprastha Gas Brent crude price was up 8% QoQ and 57% YoY to an average of USD54.1/bbl in
IOC 4QFY17. While the rise in oil prices would be beneficial for upstream companies, we
MRPL expect operating cost to be higher. ONGC and Oil India should see a marginal QoQ
Oil India increase in EBITDA.
ONGC RIL is likely to be impacted by lower GRM. Additionally, HDPE and LLDPE delta seem to
Petronet LNG have declined 5-10% QoQ.
Reliance Industries Brent up 8% QoQ and 57% YoY; upstream subsidy nil in 4QFY17
While crude prices spiked in 4QFY17, led by OPEC efforts to cut production,
average for the quarter was up 8% QoQ at ~USD54.1/bbl. We expect minor
inventory losses for OMCs during the quarter.
We do not build any net under-recovery either for the OMCs or for the
upstream companies.

GRM at USD6.4/bbl, down from USD6.7/bbl in 3QFY17


The regional benchmark Reuters Singapore GRM was down 17% YoY, led by
decline in gasoline cracks to USD12.5/bbl.
PE, PP and PVC delta declined sequentially. However, POY and PSF spreads
increased significantly during the quarter. RIL is expected to benefit from YoY
strengthening.

Auto fuel marketing margins down YoY


OMCs gross margins for auto fuels have declined YoY during the quarter. Gross
margins stood at INR3.12/liter in 4QFY17 v/s INR3.24/liter in 4QFY16 for petrol
and at INR2.59/liter in 4QFY17 v/s INR3.07/liter in 4QFY16 for diesel.
The gross marketing margins are higher than INR2.3/liter during the regulation
era. We expect marketing margins to remain higher than regulated era margins.

Valuation and view


Against the backdrop of a lower oil price regime, auto fuel pricing freedom and
broadly stable marketing margins, we retain OMCs (IOCL/HPCL/BPCL) as our top
picks.
RIL is expected to report a decline in its GRM in the quarter, led by narrowing
light-heavy differential and decline in benchmark Singapore complex GRM. We
believe that while core earnings growth would be significant, telecom losses
would cap consolidated earnings and return ratios.
Although volume growth would continue for CGD players, we might see margin
compression in the industrial segment due to increase in LNG prices. Cut in APM
price is negative for ONGC/OINL; however, OPEC and non-OPEC efforts to cut oil
production should revive realizations, benefitting ONGC/OINL.

2017

Retail
Company name Contrasting fortunes for companies under coverage
Jubilant Foodworks Sales likely to be anemic for Jubilant, healthy for Titan
Titan Company
Retail coverage to grow sales at 20.2%
We expect our retail coverage universe to report healthy 20.2% revenue growth in
4QFY17, but PAT is expected to decline 11.5%. EBITDA is likely to increase by 24.1%
YoY. We expect Titans jewelry retail revenue to grow 26% YoY, led by benefits from
shift in trade from unorganized to organized (following demonetization) and low
base quarter segment sales (-11% YoY in 4QFY16). Watches segment sales via trade
channel (50% of watches segment sales) have recovered, while retail segment
reported high-single-digit sales growth. For Titan, EBITDA growth is likely at 36%, but
extremely low tax rate of 7.6% in the base quarter means that PAT is likely to
decline YoY. We expect Jubilant Foodworks sales to increase 8%, with same-store
sales (SSS) growing 2% due to continued slowdown in discretionary consumption
and lingering impact of demonetization on delivery sales (which management had
mentioned is likely to continue, possibly until 1QFY18). With SSS growth far below
cost increases, 4QFY17 is likely to be another quarter of EBITDA and PAT decline
(9.2% and 26%, respectively) for Jubilant Foodworks.

Store expansion subdued


Retail companies under our coverage are moderating store expansion. Titan added
only 16 Tanishq stores (adding 60ksf) in FY17, while Jubilant has likely added 27
stores in 4QFY17. Expansion plans are likely to be a function of pick-up in consumer
sentiment, which is getting delayed.

No preferred pick in the sector, given weak discretionary environment, steep


valuations
Discretionary demand remains sluggish with no recovery in sight. Competition is
also a worry for JUBI in a period of slowdown. We like JUBIs business model (decent
RoEs even in slowdown and strong potential earnings growth on recovery);
however, poor medium-term visibility with possible worsening of consumer
sentiment makes us wary of turning constructive. The share price correction has
been concurrent with a steep cut in earnings estimates as a result of delayed
recovery, which means that valuations still remain expensive at 37.9x FY19E EPS.
Similarly, while TTANs franchise, management quality and long-term opportunity in
jewelry segment offer comfort, we believe the company continues to face demand
headwinds and valuations of 41.6x FY19E EPS are extremely expensive.

Traction in change-the-business side of the business, which has been the key
additive factor for revenue growth, though not enough on current base.
These may aid gradual improvement in growth through the course of FY18
rather than a sudden pick-up in growth.

Building 0-2% CC sequential organic growth; expect higher revenue growth to be


aided by acquisitions
We are modeling (on organic basis) 0-2% QoQ CC growth across our coverage
universe. Contribution from acquisitions should help HCLT inch this to 3.4% QoQ
CC. Among tier-I, last quarter, TCS cited expectation of sustained momentum in
4Q, driving our estimate of 2% QoQ CC; for INFO, we expect growth to be at the
midpoint of its guided band (1% QoQ CC). Recovery in Communications
witnessed in the past couple of quarters has taken a pause, driving our
assumption of marginal growth at TECHM. WPRO should be helped by full-
quarter revenue from Appirio acquisition.
Among tier-II, we expect steady growth for LTI, ZENT and CYL. For MTCL (1.5%
QoQ CC) and HEXW (0.5% QoQ CC), growth is likely to remain relatively soft.
Revenue would be flat for PSYS due to seasonal weakness in its IBM IoT deal.
Margins are likely to remain steady across the board, with some hit for the
sector coming from currency movement, and from acquisition in the case of
WPRO. Note that TECHM has deferred its wage hike earlier a January 1 cycle
to the next fiscal.

Will INFO announce a buyback? Will top-end of guidance be in double digits?


We expect INFO to guide 7-9% CC growth for FY18, on the back of a relatively
weak exit in 2H. That implies a CQGR of 2.2-3%. INFO is the only remaining
company among the top-tier that is yet to reward its shareholders with a
buyback, dispensing some of the idly-lying cash (apart from WPRO, which
cannot announce a buyback before June). That could be likely on April 13, 2017.

Watch out for the performance in top clients at INFO following a shocker in 3Q,
over which the management alleviated investor concerns by terming it as a one-
off without any significant concerns on the same.
Watch out for guidance from HCLT and outlook from TCS too. Double-digit
growth at HCLT looks more-or-less in the bag, given healthy traction in IMS and
contribution from acquisitions. At TCS, while the commentary has remained
very positive, it remains to be seen in revenue growth. Our estimate of 9.5% CC
growth in FY18 implies a CC CQGR of 2.5% in FY18.
Healthcare exposure will hurt WPRO and we expect guidance of 1.5% to 2.5%
QoQ CC for 1QFY18.

Recent trend in INR may spell a fresh challenge for the industry
The INR has marched since the turn of the year to close below INR65/USD,
compared to last quarters close at ~INR68/USD. Were this to sustain, expect
another round of moderation in earnings estimates, this time led by currency.
Top-tier IT has seen stock returns over last five years being led by earnings
growth rather than P/E multiple expansion (ex-HCL Tech), and that has in turn
been boosted by INR depreciation. The impact of INR64.5-65/USD on earnings is
not yet factored in estimates, in our view. Various industry participants have
already shared expectations of moderate wage hikes next year, which was
before the recent trend in INR.
The range of margin movements QoQ is -30bp to -65bp across tier-I and -80bp
to +80bp across tier-II. PSYS could suffer from seasonal revenue decline in its
Alliance segment, most of which should flow to EBITDA.
Currency and lack of growth visibility keeps valuations on edge
Revenue growth for the industry still remains a challenge, with little, if any, clear
signs of acceleration after a tepid 2016. There is hope from deregulation in the
US and a new taxation regime, but there remain counterbalancing forces on the
other hand, mainly from potential moves on Trump tax / H-1B immigration.
Add to that, we see a gradual uptick in costs, impacting earnings in varying
degrees across tier-I and tier-II IT for a couple of years (150-200bp potential
negative impact on profitability that would need to be offset), as the model of
operating at onsite changes. The business model changes at onsite have been
underway for a while, and the higher costs have more-or-less been absorbed so
far. But the recent direction of the INR v/s the USD might just end up being an
additional headwind to thwart any assumptions of sanguine performance
around profitability.
We believe tier-I companies (INFO, TCS, WPRO, HCLT) would be better placed to
adapt to these changes, given their brand to attract talent, wider reach and war-
chest to absorb shocks on a higher margin base. Absolute numbers in the US are
a single-digit percentage of the overall workforce. Our pecking order in the
group is INFO and HCLT, followed by TCS and WPRO. Notwithstanding the
regulatory developments, we see greater comfort in the earnings performance
at TECHM, with gradual recovery in Telecom and levers to improve margins. In
tier-II, we prefer CYL, ZENT and LTI. We see gradual recovery at MTCL, but
current valuations factor more than that, in our view.

Telecom
Company name Hyperactive market conditions continue
Bharti Airtel
RJios subscriber growth impact incumbent earnings

Bharti Infratel RJios promotional free usage continues to hurt incumbents


RJio's Happy New Year offer in 4QFY17 continued to impact the overall telecom
Idea Cellular market, as consumers shifted to its promotional free usage. With an estimated 75m-
80m subscribers on RJios platform in 4QFY17 against ~50m subscribers in 3QFY17,
Tata Comm the impact has amplified. We expect ~7% QoQ decline in wireless revenue for Bharti
and Idea (down 12% YoY for Bharti and 15% YoY for Idea) and ~15% QoQ decline in
EBITDA (down 24% YoY for Bharti and 49% YoY for Idea).

Expect India wireless revenue to decline 7% QoQ


We expect Bhartis India wireless revenue to decline 6.7% QoQ and 11.9% YoY to
INR129.1b. On a consolidated basis, Bhartis revenue should drop 4.7% QoQ to
INR222.4b, with softening in the home and enterprise business, merger of South
East Asia business and unfavorable currency movement. Idea too should see a
revenue decline of 6.9% QoQ and 14.9% YoY to INR80.7b. Bharti Infratel, however, is
likely to witness a healthy quarter, with sustainable tenancy growth after a weak
1HFY17 on the back of accelerated capex from RJio and deployment of recently-
acquired spectrum by incumbent telcos. We expect Bharti Infratels revenue to grow
3% QoQ and 10.1% YoY to INR35b.
Voice revenue to decline 4-5% QoQ: Like in 3QFY17, the voice business is likely
to see a sharp decline, as subscribers shift outgoing voice usage toward RJio. We
expect Bhartis India voice business to decline 3.9% to INR93.3b, while Idea
should see a decline of 4.7% to INR58.8b. The impact of the shift in outgoing
minutes towards RJios free usage is seen in revenue per minute (RPM) instead
of voice minutes, as RJios promotional offer has reduced Bharti and Ideas
outgoing traffic but increased incoming traffic. Given that there is a paltry
INR0.14/minute interconnect charge on incoming traffic compared to
~INR0.60/min charge on outgoing traffic, we expect Bharti and Ideas voice RPM
to decline 8-9% QoQ, while voice traffic should grow 4-6% QoQ. Also, telcos are
rationalizing high-ARPU subscriber plans to match RJios pricing, which is
increasing traffic while hurting RPM.
Data revenue to decline 17-18%: The incumbent telcos aim to arrest the shift in
traffic to RJio through promotional data offering; this is likely to impact their
data revenue significantly. We expect Bhartis India data revenue to fall 17% to
INR25.6b and Ideas data revenue to decline 18% to INR14.3b. Unlike 3QFY17,
when the decline in data revenue was shared between pricing and traffic, telcos
have aggressively matched RJios pricing in 4QFY17; hence, we expect positive
data traffic growth. However, the decline in data pricing would more than offset
the traffic growth.

March 2017 Results Preview | Sector: Telecom

EBITDA margin shrinking: With revenue declining for the second consecutive
quarter, we expect telcos to cut discretionary expenses to curtail the impact on
EBITDA. However, the increase in network cost led by data network rollout should
continue to hurt earnings. In 4QFY17, Ideas EBITDA is likely to decline 15% QoQ
(49% YoY) to INR18.5b against a drop of 24% QoQ in 3QFY17. This implies a decline
of 210bp QoQ (1,530bp YoY) in EBITDA margin against a decline of 550bp on QoQ in
3QFY17. Bhartis EBITDA is expected to drop 15% QoQ (24% YoY) to INR44.8b
against a drop of 16% QoQ in 3QFY17. This implies a decline of 320bp QoQ (530bp
YoY) in EBITDA margin against a decline of 440bp QoQ in 3QFY17.

Bhartis Africa business to decline on unfavorable currency; EBITDA margin to


expand 20bp: Bhartis Africa revenue is likely to decline 2% in USD terms to
USD901m on the back of depreciating African currency. In INR terms, revenue
should decline 3.2% to INR51.8b owing to appreciation of the INR against the USD.
On the positive side, we expect Africa EBITDA margin to expand 20bp to 23.9% due
to cost-rationalization measures. This should reduce the impact on EBITDA, which
we expect would decline 2.4% QoQ (13.5% YoY) to INR12.4b.

Bharti Infratel to witness sustainable tenancy growth


After a healthy tenancy addition of 6,139 on consolidated basis in 3QFY17, we
expect robust tenancy addition of 6,044 in 4QFY17. This is far higher than the weak
tenancy addition of sub-2,000 in 1HFY17. Accelerated data network rollout across
incumbents and RJio (including the deployment of spectrum acquired in the recent
auction) has led to the robust tenancy addition in 2HFY17. We expect revenue to
grow 3% QoQ (10.1% YoY) to INR35b on the back of healthy rental revenue growth.
Ex-energy EBITDA margin is expected to remain flat despite the healthy tenancy
addition at 65.7%, with revised agreements hurting tenancy rates (down 0.2% QoQ).
This should translate into sequentially flat consolidated EBITDA margin at 43.5%. Ex-
energy EBITDA margin should expand 10bp QoQ to 7.1%.

Tata Communications to see healthy organic growth on normalized basis


Tata Communications is likely to report weak core revenue (excluding Neotel) and
EBITDA growth in 4QFY17. The decline owing to the sale of India and Singapore data
center business and African subsidiary, Neotel would be partially offset by 3.5%
organic growth in data revenue and recovery of ATM business after the impact of
demonetization in 3QFY17. We expect core revenue to grow 1% QoQ (decline 7%
YoY) to INR44.6b in 4QFY17 on data revenue growth of 1.9% QoQ and voice revenue
decline of 1% QoQ. Core EBITDA margin should expand 60bp QoQ to 14%, led by
70bp gain in data EBITDA margin to 19%.

Our view
We expect Bharti and Ideas EBITDA to decline 15-16% in 4QFY17. The industry faces
a hyper-competitive scenario led by RJios free offering. Bharti Infratel should
benefit from sustainable tenancy growth, led by the capex-intensive phase in the
telecom market. Tata Communications should see clean-up after the sale of data
center and Neotel, with healthy organic growth.

Coal India
Power Grid to outperform led by strong capitalization momentum
NTPC

Power Grid Corporation Within our utility sector coverage universe, we expect Power Grid to report strong
set of numbers, while other companies at best would report muted profit growth.
Power Grid is likely to meet its full-year capitalization guidance of INR280b with the
commissioning of the Champa-Kurukshetra HDVC transmission line.

NTPCs PAT is estimated to decline ~4% YoY to INR24.5b due to lower other income,
impact of change in measurement of GCV and lower incentive income. NTPCs
consolidated commercial capacity increased 1.1GW QoQ to 47GW by end-FY17. PLFs
of JSW Energys Vijaynagar plant have improved QoQ led by short-term PPA with
Karnataka, but the gains are likely to be offset by higher fuel cost and lower hydro
generation. CESCs PAT is estimated to be broadly flat YoY at INR2.5b, with gains
from higher regulated equity base offset by the impact from negative bid for the
captive coal block.

Coal India is estimated to disappoint, with EBITDA (ex-OBR) decline of ~3% YoY to
INR60b on account of higher cost. Realization is estimated to increase 6% YoY to
INR1,511/t, while volumes are likely to grow 4% YoY to 150.9mt. Provisioning for
wage hike should impact profitability.

RE share in generation increasing: Conventional electricity generation for


11MFY17 increased 4.6% YoY to 1,052bkwh. However, installed capacity rose 6.1%
YoY to 264GW. Resultantly, PLFs for 11MFY17 were down 55bp YoY to 49.6%.
Including RE generation, Indias electricity generation increased by 5.8% YoY. The
share of RE in Indias electricity mix rose from 5.7% YoY to 6.8% in 11MFY17. In
terms of incremental generation, RE represented ~25% of generation.

ST prices remain low: Short-term (ST) prices on IEX were up 7% QoQ to


INR2.53/kWh. IEX day-ahead volumes were down 6% YoY to 9.5bu in 4QFY17.
Growth was led by the southern region.
