more gradual, the management has guided for higher maintenance costs in FY20,
some moderation in FY21 and normalization only in FY22.
Domestic market softening; International still a big opportunity: The domestic
market, which benefited from Jet’s closure, has started showing initial signs of
softening. While H1FY20 was healthy with 10% YoY increase in yields, the ongoing
Q3 festive season has witnessed moderation. This despite continued benign capacity
growth in the market. The management attributed this to the broad-based economic
slowdown and higher LCC capacity that has replaced FSC capacity especially on
metro routes. The management, though, reiterated its focus on rapidly expanding the
international footprint with more than 50% of incremental capacity being deployed on
international routes. Moreover, the international market continues be short on capacity
after Jet’s closure and provides a significant opportunity for scale-up especially at a
time when yields across markets are looking up.
Valuation, catalysts and risks: While the domestic market quickly attains normalcy
IndiGo has set its eye on the international market, which continues to offer a good
potential from the vacuum created due to the consolidation. Although the deterioration
in cost structure is not structural it could remain elevated till Airbus is able to expedite
deliveries to replace IndiGo’s older fleet. Given the weak performance we recalibrate
earnings resulting in 41%/9% cut in our FY20/FY21e EPS. While we remain positive
on sector opportunities, the rising cost structure impacting earnings will cloud stock
performance until it starts normalizing. We downgrade InterGlobe Aviation to HOLD
with a revised TP of Rs1,450/share at 9x FY21e EV/EBITDA.

Concall takeaways
Financial performance
IndiGo reported a net loss of Rs10.6bn in the seasonally weak quarter for the industry.
The loss was driven by cost headwinds such as
o MTM loss due to capitalization of operating lease liabilities: During the quarter,
the rupee depreciated from Rs68.90/$ to Rs70.71/$; as a result, the company had a
negative impact of Rs4.3bn on MTM of the capitalized operating leases
o Reassessment of accrual estimates for future maintenance cost - Rs3.2bn of
supplementary lease rentals due to existing old aircraft and 50 used aircraft from the
secondary market. Further, the management has guided for it to be similar in the next
2 quarters.
o One-time adjustment owing to adoption of lower tax rates
IndiGo reported an EBITDAR of Rs2.6bn with an EBITDAR margin of 3.2% compared to
an EBITDAR of Rs2.2bn with an EBITDAR margin of 3.6% during Q2FY19.
All the mentioned cost items are non-cash in nature and do not reflect on the cash flows
the company generates
Excluding the impact of these cost items, the loss before tax would have been Rs2.8bn, a
significant improvement over the Rs9.9bn loss the company posted in the same period
last year.
During H1FY20, post servicing the debt and lease obligations, IndiGo has generated a
very healthy cash of Rs33bn through operating activities.
The company has guided for flattish YoY unit revenue performance in Q3FY19. The
management mentioned that it was seeing declines in yield in metro-to-metro markets
where LCC players have replaced former Jet airways (FSC) capacity and a stronger
performance in cities where Jet had had no presence.
RASK for Q2FY19 was Rs3.42/ASKM compared to Rs3.23/ASKM during Q2FY19, an
increase of 5.7%.
For the quarter, the yields increased by 9.4% to 3.52 rupees while PLFs were down by 0.9
points at 83.5%
Fuel CASK decreased by 17.3% YoY compared to 8.7% decrease in ATF prices on a YoY
basis
CASK for the quarter was Rs3.85/ASKM compared to Rs3.74/ASKM during the same
period last year, an increase of 2.8%.
CASK ex fuel was Rs2.56/ASKM, an increase of 17.2% from the same period last year.
Excluding the impact of MTM loss on capitalized operating leases and reassessment of
accrual estimates for future maintenance cost, CASK ex fuel would have increased by
3.1%. This CASK increase was primarily driven by higher employee cost and lower aircraft
utilization.
Balance sheet continues to be strong, cash balance at the end of the period was Rs187bn
comprised Rs87bn of free cash and Rs100bn of restricted cash.
The capitalized lease liability by end of Q2FY20 is Rs175bn. Total debt, including the
capitalized lease liability, was Rs198bn.
Operational performance:
IndiGo has opened seven new domestic stations and entered six new international
markets.
Cargo has maintained its rapid growth during the quarter in both domestic and
international sectors. As per the DGCA reports, IndiGo now has 39% market share in the
domestic cargo business, a significant increase from 28% from the same period last year.
International cargo capacity has grown by more than 80% YoY.
IndiGo is now also focusing on inbound cargo business from Southeast Asia and the
Middle East
In international markets, despite the significant increase in capacity, unit revenue is
holding up rather well, especially China performing well ahead of plan
Jet Airways slots: Got 22 slots in Delhi, higher than SpiceJet but comparatively slightly
lower in Mumbai
Capacity guidance
FY20, YoY capacity increase in ASKM is expected to be 25%.
Q3FY20, YoY capacity increase in ASKM is expected to be 22%.
