For 3QFY2012, Hindalcos standalone profit declined by 1.9% yoy while Novelis reported a net loss of US$12mn. We recommend Neutral on the stock. Aluminium segment drags standalone profits: Hindalcos standalone net sales increased by 11.4% yoy to `6,590cr mainly on account of higher volumes in both, aluminium and copper segments. However, aluminium segment EBIT decreased by 33.4% yoy to `310cr due to increase in input costs (mainly coal and crude derivatives). Nevertheless, copper segment EBIT rose by 51.1% yoy to `216cr due to higher treatment and refining charges and by-product credits. Overall, Hindalcos EBITDA decreased by 3.3% yoy to `716cr. Net profit decreased by 1.9% yoy to `452cr. Low demand in Europe dents Novelis performance: Novelis net sales decreased by 4.0% yoy to US$2.5bn due to decrease in volumes as well as aluminium price. Shipments of aluminum rolled products decreased 9.2% yoy to 682kt primarily due to destocking in Europe. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 10.5% yoy to US$213mn on account of higher costs and lower volumes. Novelis reported a net loss of US$12mn during 3QFY2012 compared to a loss of US$46mn in 3QFY2011. Outlook and valuation: Hindalco is expanding its capacity three-fold over the next four years. However, there is lack of clarity over production from Mahan coal block on account of environmental issues. Without captive coal block, the upcoming Mahan smelter (expected to commission in 1QFY2013) is expected to face cost pressures. Further, lower aluminium prices and higher costs are expected to result in decline in FY2013 PAT by 3.8%. Hence, we recommend Neutral on the stock.

Hindalco (Standalone) Key result highlights

Hindalcos standalone net sales increased 11.4% yoy to `6,590cr (above our estimate of `5,909cr) mainly on account of higher volumes in both, aluminium and copper segments. However, aluminium segment EBIT decreased by 33.4% yoy to `310cr due to increase in input costs (mainly coal and crude derivatives). Nevertheless, copper segment EBIT rose by 51.1% yoy to `216cr due to higher treatment and refining charges and by-product credits. Overall, Hindalcos EBITDA decreased by 3.3% yoy to `716cr and EBITDA margin slipped by 165bp yoy to 10.9% during 3QFY2012. Interest expenses grew by 53.8% yoy to `79cr while other income grew 48.6% yoy to `90cr. Consequently, net profit decreased by only 1.9% yoy to `452cr (below our estimate of `480cr). The company has delayed commissioning of Mahan smelter by a quarter to 1QFY2013. Hindalcos board has approved the issuance of ~15cr warrants to the promoters on a preferential basis to partly fund its expansion projects.

Copper cathode and CC rods production grew by 9.4% and 42.3% yoy to 88k and 38k, respectively.

Hindalco (Novelis) Key result highlights

Novelis net sales decreased 4.0% yoy to US$2.5bn due to decrease in volumes as well as aluminium price. Shipments of aluminum rolled products decreased 9.2% yoy to 682kt primarily due to destocking in Europe on the back of economic uncertainty and weakness in the electronics business in Asia.

Novelis reported a net loss of US$12mn during 3QFY2012 compared to a loss of US$46mn in 3QFY2011.

Investment rationale
Aluminium capacity to increase three folds in the next four years
Hindalco aims to increase its aluminium capacity by almost three-folds in the next four years to 1.5mn tonnes. Consequently, we expect production and sales volume to record significant growth over FY201114. Most of these new capacities will be backed by captive bauxite and coal mines; however, there is lack of clarity on production from Mahan coal block on account of environmental issues currently.

Novelis to expand its capacity

Novelis has plans to increase its capacity by ~20% by FY2014E. Capacity at its Pinda operations in Brazil is being increased by ~220kt by CY2012, while the balance will be through debottlenecking (a 3-4% increase in capacity every year). Further, Novelis plans to invest US$400mn to expand its South Korean aluminum rolling and recycling operations by 1mtpa. We expect steady EBITDA of ~US$1bn per year from Novelis, given its stable conversion business.

Outlook and valuation

We believe Hindalco is well placed to benefit from a) its aluminium expansion plans (capacity increasing by nearly three folds in the next four years), b) low production cost at its new capacities and c) steady capacity expansion at Novelis. However, there is lack of clarity over production from Mahan coal block. Without captive coal block, the upcoming Mahan smelter (expected to commission in 1QFY2013) is expected to face cost pressures. Further, lower aluminium prices and higher costs are expected to result in decline in FY2013 PAT by 3.8%. Moreover, the 18% increase in the stock price over the past three months discounts the near-term growth prospects of Hindalco. We derive a SOTP target price of `152 and recommend Neutral on the stock.
