India Equity Research Q4CY11 Result Update

SELL
Sector outlook: Positive

Cement
ACCs Q4CY11 earnings were in-line with our estimates. (EBITDA/t of Rs657 vs 676/t estimated, +77% YoY). However, not much can be read into the quarterly results as these are derived numbers. For CY11, the company reported an EBITDA/t of Rs716, which is lower than CY10. This despite a realization gain of 11.0% and volume increase of 11.5%, as inputs costs led by power and fuel costs surged. Adjusted PAT grew 5.7%. Subsequent to a Supreme Court judgment on extension of tax benefits on expansion in a backward area, in case of a separate company, ACC took a tax credit of Rs2,279mn resulting in a reported PAT of Rs13,253mn (+18%). Volume growth estimates We remain sanguine about the CY12 volume growth estimates for the company. The company will not add any capacity in the next two years and is likely to sit on cash. Nearly 10mn tpa (~30%) of its cement capacity is in South (Wadi and Madukkarai) and utilizations are not likely to cross 70% for the next 2-3 years. Thus, utilizations cannot be higher than ~88%, assuming 95% utilization for the rest of India capacity. Hence, maximum possible CAGR for ACC is ~6%, even though the demand may grow faster for the country. Valuation and view We have increased our CY12/CY13 estimates to factor in higher realization and input prices. (Please refer Exhibit 01). We continue to value the companys capacities in South at a 20% discount to replacement cost, resulting in a weighted average discount of 6.6%. We recommend a SELL with a price target of 1,016, from the earlier 987/share. Our price target implies 8.5x CY12 EV/EBITDA and 16.1x P/E. Quarterly financials (Standalone)
