 High double-digit decorative paint volume growth: In Q3FY19, APNT reported


stupendous standalone revenue growth of 26.4% YoY to Rs45.4bn driven by high
double-digit decorative paint volume growth. Volume growth was robust across
regions and product categories driven by festive season. Distemper continues its
higher growth rate (on a YoY basis) as observed in Q2FY19, which could have
marginally impacted realisation. Hence, due to change in product mix, the differential
in value and volume growth would be slightly lower than the aggregate effective price
hikes of ~6% for Q3FY19 (1.4% in Mar’18, 2.0% in May’18 and 2.4% in Oct’18).
However, this reverses the instance observed in Q2FY19 when APNT reported lower
value growth as compared to volume growth due to mix change and increased
rebates on GST rate transition.
 Gross margin declines YoY; softening crude to provide respite: Consolidated
gross margin declined 127bps YoY to 41.0% (up 116bps sequentially) due to raw
material price pressure. However, crude oil prices corrected recently, down 30%
currently from the high of US$75 in Oct’18. Combined with the price hikes taken in
Q3FY19 (2.35% in Oct’18, 1.70% in Dec’18), we expect improvement in gross margin
from FY20. EBITDA margin declined 122bps YoY to 19.7% (up 280bps QoQ) and
resultant EBITDA grew 17% YoY to Rs10.4bn.

Target price Rs571 Sun Pharmaceutical Industries (Sun Pharma) has announced (Press release) several
steps and clarifications for alleviating some of the investor concerns over the recently
Target price revision raised corporate governance issues in media articles. We believe that these steps would
Rs571 from Rs628 help in restoring investor confidence to some extent. Nevertheless, we expect valuation
multiple to remain under pressure in near term until clarification emerges on potential SEBI
investigation (as requested by Sun Pharma). In light of these recent developments we
reduce our target P/E multiple from 22x to 20x which is in line with other peer companies.
We maintain our BUY rating with a target price of Rs571/share (earlier Rs628/share).

Following steps were undertaken:


 Change in auditor of subsidiary companies: The company has initiated steps to
induct S R B C & CO LLP, its statutory auditors, as auditors of subsidiaries replacing
Valia and Timbadia (audit firm).
 Transfer of distribution of domestic business from Aditya Medisales to a wholly
owned subsidiary: Aditya Medisales Ltd (AML) became related party from FY18 due
to consolidation of shareholding of investment companies. In order to accommodate
and assuage investor concerns, the company will be transferring the distribution from
AML to a wholly owned subsidiary of the company from Q1FY20 onwards, post
receipt of all regulatory approvals.
 Loans to Employees/Others reversed: The company in its annual report FY18
reflected an amount of Rs22.4bn in Loans and Advances. The company has clarified
that this liability was in respect of Atlas Global Trading (Atlas) assuming the damages
on account of Protonix patent litigation settlement entered by Sun Pharma in FY14
that was disclosed in the annual report of FY14. Delay in resolution of Halol facility
resulted in supply constraints, which led to non-adherence of the agreed supply
schedule by the company with Atlas. The company has funded Atlas towards non-
fulfillment of its supply agreements until the obligations are met as per agreement.
The company and Atlas have now reached a settlement wherein Atlas will assign its
rights and obligations to a wholly owned subsidiary of the company thereby
concluding the transaction in the books of the company. This transaction is expected
to complete in FY19.
 The company has confirmed that neither loans nor guarantees have been provided in
any form to Suraksha Realty.
 Whistleblower’s complaint to SEBI: The company reiterated that they have not
received any confirmation on this. However, the company has requested the regulator
to examine the matter in entirety.

 Revenue increased 21% YoY to Rs27.8bn (I-Sec: Rs27.3bn): Cement revenues


increased 16% YoY to Rs25.6bn. Cement plus clinker volumes increased 11% YoY to
5.93mnte owing to >30% YoY growth in East region and higher clinker sales.
Reported realisation increased 4.4% YoY to Rs4,315/te (I-Sec: Rs4,289/te) on better
than expected pricing in its key markets of East regions, especially Bihar.
Management is focusing on increasing trade volumes in North region which may
augur well for realisation/margins. With improving industry utilisation across both its
key markets of North and East regions, management expects pricing to improve.
 Adjusted cement EBITDA increased 18% YoY to Rs6.3bn: Total cost/te of cement
increased 4% YoY/declined 2% QoQ to Rs3,248/te (I-Sec: Rs3,260/te). Raw material
plus power & fuel cost/te increased 17% YoY largely on increase in petcoke and coal
prices, while freight cost/te declined 2% YoY. Other expenses/te stood flat YoY while
declining 11% QoQ on lower repairs & maintenance and stores & consumables. It also
included MTM forex gain of Rs200mn on external commercial borrowings, which we
have factored in other income. PAT increased by 3% YoY to Rs3bn (I-Sec: Rs2.4bn).
 Power segment registered EBITDA of Rs576mn (I-Sec: Rs410mn) with per unit
EBITDA at Rs1.29/p.u. Power segment revenues more than doubled YoY to Rs2.2bn.
Power sales generation increased 63% YoY to 446MU while power realisation
increased 32% YoY/10% QoQ to Rs4.96/unit.
 We factor ~13% standalone volume CAGR over FY19E-FY21E and expect
EBITDA/te to increase from Rs958/te in 9MFY19 to Rs1,171/te by FY21E.
 Expansions on track; industry-leading volume growth to continue: SRCM
commissioned clinker section of 3mnte integrated cement plant in Karnataka in
Dec’18. Besides, it plans to commission 2.5mnte and 3mnte (assuming 100% PSC)
grinding units in Jharkhand and Odisha by Jun’19 and Sep’19 respectively. SRCM has

India Update, January 23, 2019 ICICI Securities
acquired additional limestone mines in Chhattisgarh and can add an additional clinker
line in 12-15 months whenever required. Also, it plans to commission 2mnte grinding
unit in Pune by Sep’20.
 SRCM has declared an interim dividend of Rs25/share. The record date is fixed at
30th Jan’19.

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance reported a Value of New Business (VNB) margin in
9MFY19 at 17% (down 50bps QoQ, up 330bps YoY, although the second comparison is
flattered by changes in tax rate assumption). This was attributed to the increase in
expense ratio assumptions used in the computation of VNB, which again was due to weak
growth in the NBP. Absolute VNB grew at 18.6% in 9MFY19. APE for the nine-months
was however down 4.2% while for the quarter it was down 2.1% YoY (ULIP products down
~9% has been particularly worrisome). While the volatility of the capital markets because
of multiple external factors like high crude prices, tariff war etc. have contributed to a
slowdown in the ULIPs, IPRU’s miseries seem to have been compounded by the fact that
it has a disproportionate proportion of ULIPs in its product mix and the average ticket size
of its ULIP policies is ~Rs0.18mn which targets the affluent segment of customers. These
affluent customers have either deferred their investments in ULIPs or have taken
preference for some other financial savings instrument. Recently, in November, IPRU
even introduced the monthly payment option for its ULIP offering. Reported APE for the
months of October-December did show an improving trend. While it’s too early to tell how
this will play out, IPRU is trying earnestly to resurrect itself and make good of the turf it has
conceded to its peers.
Protection business constituted 8.6% on an APE mix basis, up from 4.1% a year back.
This mix trend which is margin accretive, along with; (i) increased focus on growing the
savings APE & (ii) expected revisions to higher bucket persistency assumptions, remain
key to the margin expansion thesis. Protection APE grew at a healthy ~100% in 9MFY19
and demonstrates the strong focus in the segment.
All said and done, the recovery is going to play out slowly. If the last quarter is anything to
do by, IPRU is slowly beginning to find its feet. So as a discerning investor, one would
need to be patient. We expect this company to have a steady state RoEV of ~17%,
assuming a steady state 13M persistency of ~80-82% (moving marginally higher or lower
based on capital market confidence). In light of the slow recovery in NBP growth, we have
cut our FY20-FY21E net premium estimates by 12-16%. We have also cut our FY19-
FY20E VNB margins by 50bps each. Consequently, our EV estimates for FY20-FY21E are
down by 2-3%. At the current trading multiple of 2.1x FY20E P/EV we find the stock to be
attractive. We also reduce our 1-yr fwd target multiple to 2.5x P/EV (from 3.3x earlier).

Havells India (Downgrade to Hold) MID-CAP


Q3FY19 RESULTS REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION CHANGE
Strong growth; tad disappointment on margins Rs711
Vikash Mantri (+91 22 6637 7161) vikash.mantri@icicisecurities.com
Abhishek Bohara (+91 22 2277 7637) abhishek.bohara@icicisecurities.com

Target price Rs686 Havells India (Havells) reported strong top-line growth of 28% on the back of 29% and
22% YoY growth in core business and Lloyd, however strong growth failed to translate in
Earnings revision to profitability. All segments witnessed strong growth largely led by volume growth. Overall
(%) FY19E FY20E EBITDA margin was impacted by commodity price inflation, rupee depreciation and delay
Sales ↑ 3.9 ↑ 4.2 in passing on increased costs to customer; impact was higher in ECD segment.
EBITDA ↓ 6.1 ↓ 3.5
PAT ↓ 5.9 ↓ 4.0 Management outlined positive growth outlook in medium term on the back of improving
demand scenario and expects improvement in margin with stabilising commodity prices.
Target price revision We tweak our estimates to factor in strong revenue growth and lower margins in near
Rs686 from Rs631 term, resulting in downward earnings revision by 6% and 4% for FY19 and FY20. After
recent increase in share price we downgrade Havells to HOLD with revised DCF-based
FY20 target price of Rs686 (Rs631 earlier).

 Strong volume growth across segments: Havells witnessed strong volume led
growth across segments, while only cable segment witnessed yield improvement (6-
7%). Cable and switchgear segments witnessed 31% and 21% YoY growth
respectively aided by government’s electrification and infrastructure initiatives. ECD
segment revenue grew 34% YoY with relatively stronger growth in small appliances
(festive season) and water heaters (market share gain). Lighting segment (ex EESL
and B2G business) witnessed 18% growth despite 25-30% volume growth as pricing
pressure continued owing to declining input cost.
 LED TV led growth in Lloyd: Lloyd segment revenue grew 22% YoY in Q3FY19,
largely driven by growth in LED TV owing to festival season. AC business also
witnessed some growth though largely driven by higher realisation as volume growth
remains under pressure due to high channel inventory. EBITDA margin of Lloyd
segment contracted 120bps YoY to 1.7% owing to higher input cost and unfavourable
currency movement. Management expects its new AC plant to get operationalised by
April 2019.
 Volatile commodity prices and delay in price hike led to margin contraction:
Despite strong top-line growth (28%), EBIDTA grew only 12% as margin contracted
160bps YoY to 11.7% impacted by higher raw material cost. Employee cost and other
expenses also witnessed sharp increase as company is investing in both capacity and
capabilities (R&D) to sustain strong growth. Contribution margin for ECD segment
was impacted the most due to delay in passing higher input cost to consumer.
Management expects improvement in margins in coming quarters with commodity
prices stabilising.

TVS Motor Company (Buy) AUTO


Q3FY19 RESULTS REVIEW AND EARNINGS REVISION
Realisation surprise reflective of growth quality Rs554
Nishant Vass (+91 22 2277 7260) nishant.vass@icicisecurities.com
Tushar Sharma (+91 22 2277 7649) tushar.sharma@icicisecurities.com

Target price Rs716 Although TVS Motor Company (TVSM)’s Q3FY19 operational performance missed our
estimates, it was better than consensus expectations. The key highlight of the result was
Earnings revision(S/A) ASP growing 6% YoY and 3% QoQ to Rs47.1k per vehicle, beating our estimate by 2%.
(%) FY19E FY20E The ASP growth was driven by price hikes and an improved product mix. Gross margin
Sales 0.0 ↓ 0.2 missed our estimate by 50bps due to high raw material costs, and was the key reason for
EBITDA ↓ 4.9 ↓ 2.4
PAT ↓ 13.0 ↓ 7.7 EBITDA margin miss vs our estimate. Other expenses grew only 2% YoY despite TVSM
delivering 20% YoY volume growth. We believe this is a demonstration of how TVSM’s
Target price revision pull-led demand strategy and cost-cutting initiatives (like value analysis/engineering) can
Rs716 from Rs772 help keep its fixed costs under control and aid margin expansion.

Source: Company data, I-Sec research

 Brands, scale & product mix to drive ASP growth: TVSM’s blended ASP growth
continues to surprise positively and remains a key tenet to our positive thesis. It is
driven by an improving model mix (higher share of Jupiter/Ntorq 125cc scooters along
with Apache motorcycles) as well as recent price hikes to offset increased commodity
costs. According to the management, raw material costs are likely to decline in
Q4FY19 and FY20. TVSM has strong localisation plans on the vendor side as well to
reduce raw material import content.
With TVSM pursuing a pull-based demand strategy and cost-cutting initiatives, we
expect fixed expenses to remain in control. The combination of ASP growth, reducing
raw material costs and in-control fixed expenses could lead to higher EBITDA per
vehicle and the long-awaited operating margin expansion.
 Key takeaways from earnings call:
a) Management expects Q4FY19 to be better than Q3FY19 for the industry. The retail
finance situation has improved. b) TVSM maintains inventory of 4-5 weeks. c) Price
hike of ~0.9% has been taken in FY19YTD. TVSM also took a price hike of ~Rs300
per vehicle in January 2019. d) TVSM plans to launch new electric products in FY20.
e) The outlook for export markets remains stable with FX and availability of USD
stable in those markets. Export revenue in Q3FY19 was Rs10.6bn with USD/INR
realisation of 71.5 (69.5 in Q2FY19). f) From January 2019, Radeon sales can move
to ~20k per month and NTorq sales can move to ~25k per month.
 Maintain BUY: We continue to expect TVSM to deliver strong volume growth on the
back of its strong brands. We also see a strong margin growth opportunity for TVSM
on ASP growth and cost control; we estimate EBITDA margin to expand to 12.5% in
FY20E. With 32% EPS CAGR in FY18-21E, TVSM is our top pick in the sector. We
maintain our BUY rating and continue to value TVSM’s standalone business at 25x
FY20E EPS (Rs678/share) and TVS Credit Services at 2x FY18 P/B (Rs37/share)
leading to our SoTP-based target price of Rs716/share (earlier Rs772/share).

However, we largely maintain our estimates for FY20-21. We remain positive on the long

and niche R&D for US market and track record of healthy return ratios. We maintain ADD
with a revised target of Rs656/share (earlier Rs660).

 Supply shortage opportunity drives export growth: India business revenue


remained muted YoY and below our estimate. This was on a high base on account of
inventory correction post GST implementation. The International formulations
business grew 44.1% YoY mainly with 41.3% YoY growth in US due to one-time
opportunity in few products led by supply shortage. API business witnessed a growth
of 13.9% YoY.
 EBITDA margin driven by higher exports: EBITDA margin improved 140bps YoY to
23.8% above estimate of 18.5%. This was due to higher gross margins led by strong
growth in export formulations despite higher employee expenses. R&D expense stood
at 11.0% of revenue in Q3FY19 and is expected to remain elevated with product
development and filings in complex categories. We believe EBITDA margin would
settle around 21-22% in FY20-21 as additional costs would hit P&L on
commercialization of five new manufacturing units in FY21.
 Outlook: We raise our revenue and earning estimates by 4.0% and 17.6% for FY19
to factor in higher export revenue owing to short term opportunities. However, we
largely maintain our estimates for FY20-21. Overall, we expect revenue and PAT
CAGR of 15.9% and 17.7% over FY18-21. Return ratios to remain stable at RoE and
RoCE of 20.2% and 17.9% in FY21E.
 Valuations and risks: We maintain ADD with a revised target price of Rs656/share
based on 20xSep’20E EPS (earlier Rs660). Key downside risks are: Regulatory
hurdles and forex volatility.

Just Dial (Buy) TECHNOLOGY


Q3FY19 RESULTS REVIEW AND EARNINGS REVISION
Strong all-round execution Rs481
Kuldeep Koul (+91 22 6637 7573) kuldeep.koul@icicisecurities.com

Target price Rs670 Just Dial reported a strong Q3FY19 across the metrics of growth, traffic, paid campaigns
and unearned revenue. Revenue increased by 2.6% QoQ and 15.2% YoY to Rs2268mn.
Paid campaigns increased by 3.1% QoQ and 10.2% YoY to 4,85,410. Unearned revenue,
though up just 1% QoQ, was up 32.7% on a YoY basis. Traffic increased QoQ by 2.3%
and YoY by 24.8% to 134.2mn unique visitors. FCF generation (including Other Income) in
9MFY19 was very strong at Rs2.4bn or 130% of adjusted EBITDA. Though execution on
collections in Q4FY19 will be critical to how revenue growth is likely to shape up in FY20,
we see our FY20 revenue growth estimate of 11.5% as reasonable to achieve. With
EV/FCF of ~9x FY20, Just Dial is trading ex-growth, despite recent traffic, volume and
growth metrics holding up much better than expected. As we have written earlier, traffic as
defined by Unique Visitors, has grown by >20% YoY in the past 8 quarters, despite
significant disintermediation from Google and vertical specific competition, highlighting the
value of JD as a platform to SME advertisers. Given that growth in unique leads served is
significantly higher than the increase in price per paid campaign, RoI on ad spends for
paid customers is increasing significantly, which should help sustain growth. Maintain BUY
rating with a DCF based target price of Rs670.

 Revenue growth back to mid-teens; volume growth strong for second


consecutive quarter. Revenue increased by 2.6% QoQ and 15.2% YoY to
Rs2668mn. Paid campaigns increased by 3.1% QoQ (on top of 3.9% QoQ growth in
Q2FY19) and 10.1% YoY with blended realisation (average) also being up 6.1% YoY.
Increase in realisation is despite stronger campaign and revenue growth in non-top-11
cities and towns, where pricing typically tends to be lower. Like-to-like increases in
pricing and bundling of other tech offerings with local search is enabling JD to drive
better realisation, which the company expects to continue in FY20 as well. Unearned
revenue increased by 1% QoQ but 32.7% YoY to Rs3786mn. Execution of collections
in Q4FY19 will be critical to how growth in FY20 may pan out. We are projecting
revenue growth of 11.5% in FY20 for now (vs 13.8% expected in FY19).
 EBITDA margin resilient despite significant sequential increase in advertising
spends. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.7% in Q3FY19, an increase of 19.1% YoY.
Adjusted EBITDA declined sequentially by just Rs26mn despite significant sequential
increase in advertising spends from Rs110mn in Q2FY19 to Rs190mn in Q3FY19.
We expect adjusted EBITDA margin to be 26.6% in FY20 vs an expected 27.5% in
FY19, post assuming an increase in advertising spends to Rs700mn in FY20 from
Rs600mn in FY19. Though overall headcount increased by just 0.5% QoQ to 12,476
employees, cold calling feet on street (FOS) resources increased at a healthy pace
from 3387 in Q2FY19 to nearly 3600 in Q3FY19. Productivity of FOS has been
significantly higher than the telesales teams in terms of driving paid campaign
conversions.

India Update, January 23, 2019 ICICI Securities
 Strong growth in traffic continues though reliance on Google unchanged.
Overall traffic increased by 2.3% QoQ and 24.8% YoY to 134.2mn. Mobile traffic
increase by a faster 4.8% QoQ and 43.1% YoY with mobile now constituting 78.5% of
overall traffic. Within mobile traffic, mobile website constitutes 90% of total with the
remaining traffic coming through the app. Reliance on Google to attract traffic remains
unchanged with only 25% of traffic having organic recall (~8% through app, 6.4%
through voice and remaining through mobile and desktop websites) with the
remaining 75% coming through search engines including Google. However, >20%
YoY growth in unique visitors for eight consecutive quarters despite Google showing
its own results for local search and significant spends on sponsored search by vertical
focused players speaks to the superior SEO rankings of Just Dial in particular and
resilience of the business model in general. Also, Just Dial’s willingness to spend
more on digital advertising (Google, YouTube, Facebook) in addition to TV and in
Theatres is encouraging, which should help sustain growth in traffic.
 Maintain BUY. Since growth in unique leads served to paid customers is significantly
higher than the increase in price per paid campaign, RoI on ad spends for paid
customers is increasing significantly, which should help drive better stickiness and
superior pricing. Just Dial is trading at an attractive valuation of ~9x FY20 EV/FCF,
especially given healthy near-term growth trends and margin defense. Net cash
balance of Rs1442Cr as at the end of Q3FY19 (buyback of Rs220Cr was completed
on Jan 10, 2019) and strong FCF generation (of Rs240Cr including other income in
9MFY19) should ensure capital return to remain at healthy levels even in the
upcoming years and more importantly provides significant visibility to invest in
adjacencies eventually to diversify the revenue streams. Maintain BUY with a DCF
based target price of Rs670.

Mayday for Indian pay-TV
Vikash Mantri (+91 22 6637 7161) vikash.mantri@icicisecurities.com
Abhishek Bohara (+91 22 2277 7637) abhishek.bohara@icicisecurities.com

The New Tariff Order (NTO) is set to be implemented w.e.f. 1st February 2019 by TRAI,
Sun TV Network (ADD)
but local cable operators nationwide have been agitating against it over the past two
Target price Rs589
months on grounds of unfavourable revenue share. Earlier, the NTO was challenged in the
ZEEL (ADD) courts by Star India (broadcaster) and currently Tata Sky is doing the same. The NTO
Target price Rs465 brings about a change that gives power to the consumer to decide what he wants to watch
and pay for. Broadcasters, distributors and LCOs are not comfortable with this change as
it destabilises the current order and brings in uncertainty. While the NTO lacks teeth
without capping of discount between a-la-carte and bouquet prices, we nevertheless
believe it is a step in the right direction and may eventually lead to higher ARPUs until
broadcasters commit harakiri in order to protect their reach. Broadcasters are still
tinkering with their prices and we expect this to continue for 6-12 months until everybody
finds the right equilibrium. We upgrade both Sun TV and ZEEL to ADD from Hold post the
recent decline in their stock prices with target prices maintained at Rs589 and Rs465
respectively. We prefer ZEEL over Sun TV as the former’s market standing continues to
be strong and the proposed promoter stake sale is the only overhang.
 Broadcasters have reduced the prices of channels: Based on pricing by peers and
the relative market positions of channels, most broadcasters have reduced the prices
of their channels – especially their second GECs and movie channels (in a particular
market) and news and infotainment channels in general. While Star India and Sun TV
have not changed their channel and bouquet prices, TV18 Network (TV18), Zee
Group (ZEEL) and Sony have done so multiple times since Oct’18.
 Focus continues to be on bouquets with high discounts: While broadcasters have
cut the bouquet prices based on channel pricing, discounts on bouquets over sum of
a-la-carte prices continue to be high between 30%-65%. ZEEL, TV18 and Sony have
also increased the number of bouquets offered with a few incremental channels in
premium bouquets. Broadcasters will continue to aggressively price bouquets to help
their niche channels gain reach.
 LCOs are up in arms: LCO groups and forums have actively resorted to the social
media to voice their distrust with the NTO and are planning a blackout on 24th January.
LCOs’ main contention is the unfair sharing of network fee of Rs130 being offered by
MSOs in the range of 55-60%, which will mean a reduction in their profitability. Also,
the lack of cap on discount is being used as an argument to scuttle the tariff order
citing that bouquets will still be the default option for consumers.
 ZEEL is well placed with strength of bouquets: ZEEL is slated to report Rs19bn in
domestic subscription revenues in FY19E, implying Rs8.2/sub (BARC universe of
197mn) or Rs13.2 per HSM subscriber. ZEEL’s in its latest RIO announced family
packs in Marathi and Bangla are priced at Rs39/month/sub and, even with a 35%
discount on it and less than 50% subscription, ZEEL’s current revenues are well
protected.

Sector Update AVIATION


December traffic growth remains modest
Ansuman Deb (+91 22 6637 7312) ansuman.deb@icicisecurities.com

Domestic passenger (pax) grew by 13% in December 2018, low compared to the past.
Market leader IndiGo grew by 23.7% whereas the growth ex IndiGo was 6.5%. IndiGo
would have higher total growth considering the several new routes it had launched in the
international segment. The lower growth is largely been contributed by Go Air (3% Y-Y)
and Jet group (-6.9% Y-Y). Aggregate PLFs have declined in December, indicating some
yield hardening, but it is significantly better than November in line with typical better
demand during December. PLF decline has been across all major airlines. Market share of
IndiGo stands at 43%, 400bps higher Y-Y. Market share decline continues to be driven by
the two cash strapped full service carriers, Air India and Jet Airways. There has been a
new trend of Go Air topping the On Time performance for two months now, while there has
been dip in OTP for both IndiGo and SpiceJet. The OTP and passenger complaint record
for IndiGo has been poor in recent months which could be due to the neo issues.
 Lower passenger growth is on expected lines. A portion of lower traffic growth
traffic in December is on account of lower capacity and a portion is on account of
higher fare driven reduction in PLFs (same as November). Both of them are on
expected lines as less efficient airlines chose tactical moderation in capacity addition
to prevent major erosion in balance sheet. However, the construct might change with
reduction in crude prices.
 Closer to the organic growth rate which can support fare hike? We have
supported a thesis that structural fare hike is only possible when the capacity growth is
near 15%. The present situation (13% passenger growth and not so low PLFs) tends
to indicate that we are close to that possibility. This might change as airlines start
factoring lower crude and Boeing max deliveries ramp up, but some capacity
rationalisation will continue due to cash flow issues of like Jet Airways/Air India and
increase in international mix of IndiGo, Go Air, Vistara and Air Asia.
 Could supply cycle be recovering? We think so. The increasing international mix
and financial stress of players like Jet Airways can be major enablers towards that.
The overall international share of capacity could increase from 0 to 20% for players
like Go Air, Vistara and Air Asia and it can increase for IndiGo from 15% to 25%
(similar to SpiceJet). The recent codeshare with Turkish Air underlines the
seriousness in intent of IndiGo towards international skies. Considering that IndiGo
already has a market share of 43% in India, internationalisation of IndiGo is no more a
matter of choice.

Oil&Gas weekly
SECTOR UPDATE
OMCs: Marketing margins may drive strong Q4FY19 EPS growth
Vidyadhar Ginde (+91 22 6637 7274) vidyadhar.ginde@icicisecurities.com
Mohit Mehra (+91 22 6637 7386) mohit.mehra@icicisecurities.com

Key recent developments / data-points in the oil & gas sector are:
RIL (HOLD)
Target price: Rs1,131 ‒ Net auto fuel marketing margin is at a super-normal level of Rs6.82/l on 21-Jan’19,
Rs6.06/l in Q4FY19-TD, and Rs1.28/l (up 20% YoY) in FY19-TD.
HPCL (HOLD)
Target price: Rs234 ‒ Singapore GRM at US$2.95/bbl in Q4FY19-TD is down 31% QoQ and 58% YoY;
RIL’s Q4-TD GRM is estimated at US$6.2-6.6/bbl and OMCs’ at US$3.3-3.7/bbl.
BPCL (HOLD) ‒ US oil output was up 202k b/d WoW but crude inventory was down 2.6mn bbls WoW
Target price: Rs283 in the W.E. 11-Jan’19 and US oil rig count was down by 21 last week.
 Super-normal marketing margin may drive OMCs’ strong Q4 EPS growth and
improve FY19 earnings outlook: Net auto fuel marketing margin is at a super-normal
level of Rs6.06/l or US$14/bbl in Q4FY19-TD. This implies marketing margin of
US$9.1-9.3/bbl on BPCL’s and HPCL’s sales volumes; auto fuels are 65%-67%
respectively of their sales volumes. Super-normal auto fuel marketing margins may
thus drive strong Q4FY19 EPS growth and bolster FY19E EPS of OMCs; OMCs’ FY19
EPS may be flat or up YoY despite their 9MFY19 EPS likely to be down 11%-25%
YoY. FY20 earnings outlook would depend on strength of new government.
 Q4-TD Singapore GRM at a 37-quarter low: Singapore GRM at US$2.95/bbl in
Q4FY19-TD is down 31% QoQ/58% YoY, and at a 37-quarter low. Diesel and petrol
cracks in Q4-TD at US$11.7/bbl and US$3.1/bbl are down 22% and 36% QoQ
respectively. Petrol cracks are at a 41-quarter low and diesel cracks at a 7-quarter low
in Q4-TD. US distillate consumption, which was up 6% YoY in CY18, is down 9% YoY
in the last four weeks. US distillate and petrol inventories are up in the last 4-7 weeks
by 23-31mn bbls (14%-19%) respectively and are now 4%-11% above 5-year average
levels. Singapore middle distillate inventory is 11% above 5-year average.
US distillate inventory up 19% in last 4 US petrol inventory up 14% in last 7
weeks and 4% above 5-year average weeks and 11% above 5-average

 RIL expects 2m b/d global net refining capacity addition in CY19: RIL expects 1)
global net refining capacity addition of 2m b/d in CY19 as per their Q3FY19
presentation vs 1.5m b/d addition as per Q2 presentation; 2) impact of incremental
supply from refinery projects from Jul’19 and the full impact by the end of CY19; and
3) positive impact on GRM of IMO mandated sulphur specs change on marine fuel

19
India Update, January 23, 2019 ICICI Securities
from Oct’19. Thus, it appears large refining capacity addition may keep GRM weak
until Sep’19 and partly dilute the positive impact of IMO on GRM thereafter.
 Sharp oil rig count fall last week suggests US oil output may rise less than
expected unless WTI recovers further: WTI and Brent was up 4% last week to
US$53.8-62.1/bbl. US oil rig count, a lead indicator of shale oil output trend, declined
by 21 last week and is down by 33 in CY19-TD and by 36 from the level in W.E. 16-
Nov’18 when WTI was over US$55/bbl. Declining rig count reaffirms that WTI needs to
rise further for US oil production to rise as much as expected in CY19.
