Tata Steel India: risk to margins abating

Odisha project to accelerate volumes, drive re-rating

Tata Steel India’s margins
are likely to sustain
Tata Steel’s (TATA) margins of Indian business (TSI) are likely to benefit from
improved domestic steel pricing outlook and lower costs driven by weakening
coking coal prices in the international market. These positives will likely offset any
pressure which may be inflicted by downward pressure on international steel prices,
driven by oversupply of iron ore. Thus, we are increasingly being convinced that
TSI’s margins are more likely to sustain.

Early signs of demand Indian long products witnessed a surge in prices in the seasonally weak month of
improvements in India April this year, bucking the old trend. Although JPC data continue to imply demand
slowdown, our channel checks indicate that the demand for TMT, used in
construction, has improved over the last three to four months. Indian steel mills
lowered flat product prices in April on import pressure. The pressure from imports
has eased now. The downside risk to average steel price realization is abating.

Softening coking coal prices Slowing growth in Chinese steel demand continues to pose a risk to international
are reducing costs steel prices driven by falling coking coal and iron ore prices. However, there may not
be a similar risk to margins of primary steel producers in India as weaker prices of
coking coal help reduce costs.

Iron ore oversupply may be
limited due to high level of
consolidation. Expected rise
of region premiums will
cushion downside risk to
margins
Weaker prices of iron ore in international market can affect steel prices and margins
of Indian steel producers, for example the Indian business of Tata Steel (due to
captive mine). Downward pressure is likely on global iron ore prices as supply grows
but in a limited way. Global iron ore supply still remains highly concentrated in the
hands of four suppliers who control 75% of seaborne trade. According to BREE
estimates, seaborne world trade in iron ore will increase by 90mt only (v/s our
previous estimate of 130-200mt) to 1,315mt in CY14 as many projects are either
shelved or running behind schedule. Further, big four iron ore suppliers are
reorienting their strategy towards low cost projects and deleveraging of balance
sheet to prepare for uncertainties, as the largest consumer in the world is slowing
down. We believe that iron ore prices can sustain at a little higher level of
USD90/dmt FOB Australia v/s our earlier expectation of USD83/dmt (please refer
our sector update dated August 29, 2012). Thus, the downside risk of iron ore prices
is ~USD17/dmt. Hence, the cost of production for non-integrated marginal steel
producer can see a maximum correction of USD25-26/t (1.7x of iron ore prices) on
account of weaker iron ore prices alone. This can be well covered by the increase in
Indian premiums, in our view. Indian steel demand growth, which appears to have
hit a cyclical bottom, is likely to accelerate and drive up regional premiums.

We upgrade realization, We upgrade the average Indian business steel realization by INR470/t and INR600/t
margins estimates and to INR45,000/t each for FY15E and FY16E respectively. Hence, the EBITDA/t is raised
target multiple by USD23 and USD27 to USD241/t and USD240/t respectively. Steel sales volumes
are expected to increase by 3.5% YoY to 8.9mt in FY15 on further ramp-up and by
6.2% YoY to 9.8mt in FY16 on commissioning of the 3mtpa KPO (Kalinganagar
Project in Odisha). The KPO will open a new center of volume growth in a high

future growth requirements. Improved visibility on volume growth and abating risk
to margins is likely to re-rate the Indian business. We raise the target multiple to
6.5x (earlier 5.5x) for Indian business.

Looking closer during FY14 on YTD demand growth, it is evident that Indian steel
sector hit the lowest point in May 2013. Demand remained subdued until October
2013, which coincided with weak pricing trend. However, steel pricing and demand
has improved thereafter marginally leading to an improvement in pricing scenario.
Our survey of steel producers suggests that they are witnessing some improvement
in offtake.

Over 2006-13, world trade in coking coal has increased by 63% or 122mt to 314mt.
China alone has absorbed 70% of the growth in supply over last seven years, while
rest of the world absorbed the remaining 38mt largely to compensate for the
reducing coke exports from China.

Coking coal supply will still grow by at least 7mt each in 2014 and 2015 as Australian
miners remain committed to deliver new projects at low costs to feed eventual
growth in Indian consumption of coking coal. Slowing growth in China’s pig iron
production will ease the demand pressure thus benefiting Indian steel mills.

World steel demand growth is expected to accelerate, outside China, aided by

improving demand in western world and MENA countries. Indian mills are better
placed to tap the export market due to superior product quality and geographical
proximity to western world and MENA countries, compared to Chinese competition.
We expect Indian steel mills on western coast of India, such as JSW Steel and Essar
Steel, to continue to focus on exports and prevent an oversupply in domestic
market. Overall, we expect Indian pricing scenario and premiums to improve from
FY15 onwards.

Tata Steel Europe, overseas subsidiaries to stop leaking

Tata Steel Europe and other overseas subsidiaries (TSE&OS) have been a source of
free cash flow drain post the global financial crisis of 2008. Declining shipments due
to sharp reduction in demand drove up specific fixed cost at TSE and shrunk
margins. Shrinking margins and increased capex intensity (due to ageing equipments
of TSE) and investment in mining projects had put significant strain on the balance
sheet. We believe that TSE is likely to benefit from a cyclical upturn in demand,
focus on reducing cost, restructuring and stable capex intensity. We reiterate that
TSE has huge potential of improving its cost structure as nearly 1/3rd of its total
human resources are engaged in distribution and building business, which is
exceptionally high from industry standards. We note that TSE is gradually optimizing
its costs structure and service centers. We expect TSE&OS to stop being a drag on
free cash flows (operating cash flow – capex) of TATA and possibly generate some
free cash flows in FY16. Since TSE has thin margins and relatively high sustenance
capex requirements, we believe that EBIT is a better measure of cash flow
generation capacity rather than EBITDA for such assets (TSE always guided that
sustenance capex will equal the depreciation amount). Thus, we prefer to value
TSE&OS at EV/EBIT (rather than EV/EBITDA) of 7x, which amounts to pre-tax cash
flow yield of 14.3%. Given high volatility in cash flows, returns expectations too are
high.

TATA has been working continuously to unlock value by selling assets that have not
been generating cash flows. Recently, Borivali land (Mumbai) was sold for INR11.5b
and Tata Steel International (Australasia), New Zealand was sold for INR1.4b. INR13b
of cash has been generated in FY15 without loss of material EBITDA. There are many
such assets -- investments in Dhamra Port, Tata Motors, Titan etc which can fetch
~INR100b or more if management so decides. We are valuing these assets at
INR75/share after factoring 20% discount to value of listed stock only. Improved
operating cash flows, no further step-up in capex and recent sale of assets will
deleverage the balance sheet. We expect net debt/EBITDA ratio to gradually decline
to 3.4x by end-FY16. As the benefits of KPO start kicking in during FY17, the gearing
will decline faster.
