Staying strong on operational front in 3QFY21; reported loss included several one-offs
India wireless business was marked by a strong net subscriber addition of 14.2 mn, well above
our expectations and ahead of Jio’s reported number of 5.2 mn, higher ARPUs at Rs166, 7/11%
qoq increase in voice/data volumes and further expansion of network. Africa business reported
a sustained 22% yoy growth in revenues and highest-ever EBITDA margins at 46.9%. Enterprise
business reported 4.8% sequential increase in EBITDA driven by modest revenue growth and
healthy expansion in margins. Overall revenues of Rs265.2 bn (+5.8% qoq, +24.2% yoy) were
3.6% above our estimate. EBITDA at Rs120.5 bn (+8.9% qoq, +38% yoy), was 6% ahead of
our estimate. PBT remained positive at Rs6.3 bn despite higher interest expense at Rs39.7 bn,
including interest on the pending AGR dues. The company accounted an exceptional loss of
Rs84.3 bn (post-tax) including (1) Rs31.6 bn in lieu of re-assessment of contractual/regulatory
levies, (2) Rs14.2 bn provision pertaining to re-assessment of useful life of assets such as copper
network and impairment of intangible assets and (3) Rs38.9 bn on assessment of deferred tax
assets. Recurring net loss stood at Rs5.3 bn. Profits from discontinued operations included a
gain of Rs94.5 bn on deemed disposal due to loss of control of BHIN post-merger.

Bharti Airtel Telecommunication Services
Segment-wise performance
India wireless business. India wireless – revenues came in at Rs147.8 bn, +6.8% qoq,
+32% yoy, 0.5% above our estimate. Implied ARPU was at Rs164/sub/month (+1.4%
qoq); reported APUR was at Rs166/month. India wireless EBITDA of Rs64.6 bn (+10%
qoq) was marginally (0.8%) below our estimate. Margins stood at 43.7% (+111 bps qoq)
– the highest print in the past many quarters; incremental EBITDA margin was lower at
60% (versus 70% in the previous quarter).
India wireless operating metrics – (1) subscriber base up 14.2 mn qoq to 307.9 mn, (2)
post-paid subscriber base was up 0.7 mn qoq to EOP count of 15.3 mn (similar run-rate
as previous quarter), (3) data subscriber base grew 12.6 mn qoq to 174.7 mn; 57% of
subs are now using data, (4) LTE subscriber base grew to 165.6 mn (+12.9 mn qoq),
forming 94.8% of total data subs, (5) voice traffic saw a strong increase of 7.4% qoq to
925 bn minutes as MOU touched a new high of 1,027 min/sub/month, (6) total data
volumes stood at 8.5 bn GB, +11% qoq, +52% yoy, (7) data usage per sub per month
came in at nearly 16.7 GB, materially higher than both Jio and VIL and (8) churn inched
up to 1.9% from 1.7% in 2QFY21, still lower than the historical range of 2.2-2.6%.
Africa wireless business. Revenues were up 6.7% qoq and 22% yoy to Rs76.4 bn,
6.3% above estimate. EBITDA stood at Rs35.85 bn, +11% qoq, +27% yoy and 9%
above our estimate. The company added 2.5 mn subs taking EoP count to 118.9 mn
along with continued improvement in ARPU. Network operating metrics for the business
continue to trend well.
Homes segment. Weak revenue print (down 3.4% qoq) leading to a sharper 8% qoq
decline in EBITDA print. The segment delivered strongest net adds in many quarters of
215,000 mn, although ARPU moderated further to Rs705/month as Bharti had
introduced lower entry-level plans to compete with Jio in the previous quarter.
Enterprise segment. Revenue was in line with expectation, up 1.1% qoq. EBITDA
growth was stronger at 4.8% qoq with margins expanding to 38.7%.
Other updates
EOP net debt was at Rs1.47 tn including lease obligations and Rs1.15 tn excluding lease
obligations. Net debt increased by around Rs45 bn qoq primarily attributed to (1) ~Rs29
bn incurred on acquisition of ~5% stake in Indus and (2) ~Rs20 bn of reduction in cash
balance due to de-consolidation of BHIN post its merger with Indus.
Overall capex for the quarter was at Rs68.6 bn, modestly higher than Rs65.8 bn in
2QFY21. India wireless capex was at Rs42 bn.
India wireless network metrics – total sites up 7,414 qoq to 208,606; 99% of these sites
now have an MBB BTS. Total MBB BTS count stood at 568,345, +31,139 qoq. BTS per
MBB site increased to 2.74X.
Home broadband expansion. There has been a surge in latent demand of fixed
broadband post-Covid. The company is in the process of upgrading legacy copper assets
to fibre in a year’s time and has also partnered with local cable operators in 120+ cities
for last mile connectivity. It has created 1.4 mn home passes in the quarter.
5G deployment. Bharti believes the 5G ecosystem is still in the nascent stage. On the
network side, its transport layer and core network are future-proof along with a large
part of its radio networks. The management does not expect any material uptick in capex
due to 5G implementation.
No immediate need for asset monetization or equity raise. Bharti has sufficient cash
balance on books with no liquidity issues. The company may look at asset monetization
opportunistically but is under no pressure to reduce net debt.
Strong traction on the Enterprise side. With the changing work landscape, there is
increase in demand for higher capacity and bandwidth from the large enterprise
customers and the company has managed to gain market share in this segment. It
continues to invest in adjacencies and has witnessed good growth in enterprise solutions
such as Airtel IQ, a cloud-based omni-channel communications platform. Partnerships will
also form a key driver of growth going forward.
Focus on digital services. Bharti is focused on driving efficiencies for existing business
and developing new streams of revenues through its digital services offerings. It has
entered into partnerships to offer content as well as technological solutions in several
areas. Customer understanding, strong distribution network, smooth payments system
and location-based analytics will help in driving growth in the medium term.
Other key points: (1) Bharti believes that telecom companies should not get involved in
handset distribution and subsidization game. (2) It continues to seek partnerships to
improve its offerings on both B2C and B2B side of the business. (3) Bharti is engaging
into micro-marketing measures for improving its subscriber market share.

A solid performance that reaffirms our understanding of the Covid impact for the bank
Covid brought in uncertainties to forecast impairments or credit costs as the ability to
understand the depth, breadth, pace of recovery and regulatory intervention was not easy. Our
initial hypothesis of Covid was that the impact for corporate banks would be lower as we
entered into Covid with very little corporate capex and the weaker companies were largely
recognized and provided for. We affirmed our view that SBI’s retail book should be up well and M B Mahesh, CFA
this was reemphasized by the bank when they increased disclosure on the customer segments
that appeared to be less impacted by Covid despite a lockdown. Rural India was less affected by Nischint Chawathe
the virus, which implied that agriculture should hold up well. The SME segment was probably
affected a lot more but this book has witnessed substantial impairments in recent years and Abhijeet Sakhare
hardly grown in recent years. This hypothesis has played so far and we believe that the credit
cost estimates have room for reduction as we have greater confidence in the economic recovery. Ashlesh Sonje
Maintain BUY: ahead of the race and could potentially set the pace
Dipanjan Ghosh
SBI is likely to come out of this slowdown faster than the corporate NPL cycle. The bank has
adequate buffers with a well-provided corporate NPL book and a lower credit cost retail loan
book. We maintain BUY with FV of Rs450 (from Rs340), valuing at 1X book and 7X FY2023E
EPS for RoEs in the range of ~12% incorporating earnings upgrade and changes to our
subsidiary valuation. Our credit costs are still above long-term average at 1.7%, suggesting the
scope for earnings upgrade is still quite high but contingent on the nature of economic

Collections give comfort. SBI reported a collection efficiency of ~97% for 3QFY21
which is similar to the number reported for 2QFY21. The SMA-2 book has increased
sharply to ~Rs125 bn (~50 bps of advances) as of 3QFY21 from ~Rs34 bn in 2QFY21. At
the same time within large exposures (>Rs50 mn), the SMA-1 book has declined to ~Rs54
bn (~25 bps of advances) as of 3QFY21 from ~Rs86 bn in 2QFY21.
Slippages. The bank reported fresh slippages of ~Rs2.4 bn (~4 bps of advances,
annualized) in 3QFY21 from the international book. If not for the Supreme Court order,
slippages would have been relatively higher by ~Rs165 bn for 9MFY21.
Restructuring. The management indicated that it had received restructuring requests for
~Rs181 bn so far under the RBI’s Covid restructuring scheme (up from ~Rs65 bn till
2QFY21). Out of this, ~Rs39 bn was on the retail portfolio, ~Rs117 bn was on the
corporate portfolio and the rest is from the SME portfolio. With respect to this portfolio,
the bank holds a provision of ~Rs15 bn (~8% coverage on portfolio of restructuring
requests).
Provisions. Outside of the ~Rs53 bn provision for pro-forma slippages and ~Rs15 bn
provision for restructuring, the bank holds an additional contingency provision for Covid
of ~Rs120 bn. This amounts to ~50 bps coverage on standard assets.
Exhibit 2: Slippages were low since 4QFY20 on account of the moratorium and asset classification

Notes:
(1) For 3QFY19-1QFY20, watch-list refers to SMA-1 and 2 across all verticals (for accounts with exposure of Rs50 mn and above and having an
exposure of <Rs20 bn from the banking system).
(2) Starting 2QFY20, watch-list refers to SMA-1 and SMA-2 accounts with exposure above Rs50 mn, from data submitted to CRILC.

Headline growth. Overall loan growth was modest at ~7% yoy mainly driven by ~15%
yoy growth in retail. SME portfolio grew 6% yoy and corporate advances grew 2% yoy.
Retail. Retail loans constitute ~32% of the loan book and have been growing swiftly
driven by home loans (up ~10% yoy) and Xpress credit (personal loans) (up ~36% yoy)
while auto loan portfolio was muted at ~3% yoy. Management had indicated in 2QFY21
that ~94% of the Xpress Credit customers are salaried government employees. This gives
comfort on the quality of the personal loans portfolio.
ECLGS scheme for MSMEs. The bank has sanctioned ~Rs260 bn (~1.1% of advances)
under the ECLGS scheme to eligible MSMEs and disbursed ~Rs230 bn.
Notes:
(1) Numbers post 4QFY17 are for the merged entity.
Domestic NIM was flat qoq at 3.3% with yield on advances largely flat qoq and a slightly
higher decline of ~10 bps qoq in cost of deposits. NIM is over-stated by 8-9 bps on account
of interest reversals which are currently charged to provisions.
There has been consistent improvement in margins over the past few quarters on the back
of (1) increase in share of high yielding retail loans, (2) drop in interest reversals and (3)
gradually declining cost of deposits.

Clean quarter. NTPC continued to report healthy earnings performance for the third CMP (`): 99
consecutive quarter, with 12% yoy growth in adjusted PAT at Rs33 bn and 18.4% yoy Fair Value (`): 125
growth for 9MFY21. Earnings performance from the conventional business has been

stable, though we remain watchful of the return profile from recently won solar
projects, as well as liquidation of the receivable build-up. Maintain BUY rating with
unchanged FV of Rs125/share, noting inexpensive valuations of 0.7X P/B and 6X P/E on
March 2023E earnings.

NTPC’s reported PAT at Rs33 bn (+10.7% yoy, -18.4% qoq) was weaker than our ahead-of-
Street estimate of Rs37 bn. Lower EBITDA of Rs74 bn should be seen in the context of higher
fuel cost (and likely adjusted in higher regulatory deferral revenues). Earnings for the quarter
included prior period revenues of Rs2.6 bn compared to prior period sales of Rs4.4 bn in
3QFY20, and Rs0.4 bn in 2QFY21.
Core ROE stood at 17% in 3QFY21 (+16% in FY2020) reflecting the underlying strength of the
cost-plus business as regulated equity for the company increased 14.5% yoy to Rs648 bn.
Generation for the quarter increased 7% yoy to 65.4 BUs with coal-based PLF increasing to
64.3% in 3QFY21 (63.5% in 3QFY20). Overall PAF remained at 89.1%. During the quarter,
NTPC commercialized one unit of 800 MW at Lara and 15MW of solar capacity at Auraiya
taking total commercial capacity addition to 1.5 GW in 9MFY21.
Return profile for solar projects looks worrisome; thermal capacity addition lags target
NTPC has won bids for ~1.4 GW of solar capacity across various states in 9MFY21 with winning
tariffs bids of as low as Rs1.99/unit and Rs2.01/unit in Gujarat (200 MW) and Rajasthan (470
MW), respectively. While NTPC continues to enjoy lower cost of borrowing, we remain watchful
of return profile on these projects even as management has guided for equity IRR of ~11-12%.
For thermal plants, the management continues to guide for commissioning of 3GW
(standalone) in FY2021 (against 1.5GW commissioned in 9MFY21). NTPC currently has 11 GW
of capacities under construction on a standalone-basis that will likely commission over the next Murtuza Arsiwalla
three years, resulting in an increase in regulated equity to Rs860 bn by FY2023E (Rs648 bn
currently). Samrat Verma

Launches. Godrej Properties launched 1.87 mn sq. ft of area across three new
projects/phases in 3QFY21 (2QFY21 saw no new launches). Management remains hopeful
of launching another 12 projects in 4QFY21 and subsequently surpassing sales value of Rs59
bn achieved in FY2020. We have a sales target of Rs66 bn for FY2021E noting sales of
Rs40.8 bn in 9MFY21.
Sales. GPL sold 2.4 mn sq. ft (+25% yoy, +39% qoq) for sales value of Rs14.9 bn in
3QFY21. Of total sales, new launches contributed to 57% sales for sales value of Rs8.4 bn
while existing inventory reported sales of Rs6.3 bn. For the newly launched projects in
3QFY21, GPL sold 75% of the total area launched. Commercial projects reported sales of
Rs280 mn.
Sales under the JV format continue to dominate and accounted for Rs8.3 bn of overall sales.
Sales in MMR (Rs4.6 bn) and Pune (Rs4.4 bn) accounted for 63% of the overall sales, while
NCR (Rs3.8 bn) and Bengaluru (Rs1.5 bn) made up for a smaller share in overall sales.
Execution. During the quarter, GPL delivered two JV projects aggregating 1.3 mn sq. ft—
Godrej Air, Phase 1, Bengaluru (0.66 mn sq. ft) and Godrej 101, NCR (0.63 mn sq. ft).
Management also highlighted that worker count at sites is at 124% of pre-Covid levels as of
end-December 2020 that will likely help build traction on project execution. Construction
outflows of Rs5.1 bn (+46% qoq) in 3QFY21 were better than the execution levels seen in
1HFY21.

Whirlpool reported a weaker-than-expected quarter with revenue growth of 17.5% yoy against
our expectation of 23% yoy growth. The miss was probably due to lower-than-anticipated sales
ramp-up in the festive season and possible customer downtrading. While the revenue growth
missed our estimates, the yoy growth print still came in at 17.5%, which could be attributed to
sustained demand for within-the-home consumption items and some increased buying from
the channel towards the quarter-end in anticipation of future price hikes.
Input cost headwinds and higher other expenses led to weaker-than-expected EBITDA margins
Gross margin shrunk by 292 bps yoy to 36.7% on account of higher commodity cost, product
mix (higher demand of lower priced products) and continued discounts to promote retail off-
take and provide some relief to the dealer/distributor channels. We believe margins might
continue to be stressed for the next quarter as input cost headwinds remain and incremental
import duties on compressors levied by the government come into effect. Operating leverage
and higher-than-expected costs (employee expense up 14% yoy, other expenses up 4.7% yoy)
resulted in weak EBITDA print of Rs1 bn (up 12% yoy), which was lower than estimate of Rs1.5
bn. EBITDA margin came in at 6.7% against our estimate of 9.8%. We reckon advertising
expense and freight expense have recovered on a yoy basis.
Whirlpool’s revenue trajectory may remain decent going ahead as larger players gain share and Garima Mishra
improve their reach via organized retail channels. Further, Whirlpool’s expansive product
portfolio as well as distribution makes it well-positioned across product categories it is present
Shubhangi Nigam
in (barring perhaps ACs). Valuations at 39X FY2023E P/E capture these positives, in our view.
We increase our FV to Rs1,930 (earlier Rs1,750) on account of roll-forward to March 2022 from
December 2021 as well as higher revenue growth assumptions in intermediate years. SELL stays.

Steady performance across business segments, reduced interest cost helps boost profitability
Tata Power reported a consolidated PAT of Rs2.5 bn beating our estimate of Rs2 bn primarily
on account of a reduction in interest cost. Finance cost in 3QFY21 reduced to Rs9.6 bn (-14%
yoy) aided by both (1) aggressive paring off debt at Mundra and (2) lower credit cost (~7.3%).
Earnings improvement was further supported by (1) lower losses at Mundra which declined to
Rs946 mn (Rs1.6 bn in 3QFY20 and Rs1.1 bn in 2QFY21), (2) higher profitability from coal
mines at Rs1.7 bn (+41% yoy) despite the 17% yoy reduction in coal realizations at US$44/ton.
With improved project execution, Tata Power Solar provided a further fillip to the reported
earnings with 86% yoy increase in revenues to Rs9.2 bn though PAT reduced 17% yoy to
Rs309 mn due to higher interest cost and forex loss (impact of Rs180 mn).
Additionally, Tata Power has also won two new distribution licenses (WESCO and SOUTHCO)
along with CESU in Odisha. Regulated returns on incremental investment of equity for capex
along with reduction in AT&C losses will drive earnings performance at these circles. TPWR has
made significant progress in bringing down AT&C losses at CESU to 33% over the past two
quarters from 41% in June 2020 which reported a PAT of Rs340 mn in 3QFY21.
Tata Power has further reduced its debt in 3QFY21 to Rs364 bn (from Rs436 bn as of March
2020) on the back of (1) asset sales of Rs25 bn, (2) internal cash generation of Rs33 bn, (3)
equity infusion of Rs26 bn, and partially off-set by incremental capex of Rs12 bn. The proposed
listing of renewable assets through a separate InVIT will take off the balance sheet another
Rs110 bn in addition to the equity value for the stake sold.

Tata Power has done well to monetize non-core assets that have helped de-leverage the
balance sheet. A charted growth path in the renewable as well as regulated business’ and a
shift away from thermal assets is also a step in the right direction. Hereon, we will be keeping
an eye on (1) resolution of Mundra UMPP and its merger with the parent entity, (2) creation of
the renewable InVIT, and (3) growth from renewable business that could provide further upside
to our revised fair value. Maintain ADD rating with revised FV of Rs95/share (from Rs90/share). kspcg.research@kotak.com

We note that Tata Power management highlighted that with international coal prices
expected to remain soft, cash flows from Mundra plant are expected to be self-sustaining as
the company repaid Rs41.5 bn of debt in CGPL leading to net outstanding debt of Rs38 bn.
While the management continues to remain engaged in discussions with five beneficiary
states for compensatory tariff, it highlighted that offered compensation may not necessarily
happen as per recommendations proposed in GERC’s report.
WPREL reported EBITDA of Rs2.4 bn (+1% yoy) supported by higher generation of 378 MU
(+11% yoy) due to higher solar PLF partially offset by increase in spares consumption.
Reduction in interest cost to Rs982 mn (-12.3% yoy) on account of debt repayment and
higher other income of Rs110 mn (+6% yoy) led to 24% yoy increase in PAT to Rs645 mn.

expect margins to come down from 4QFY21E due to (1) RM headwinds and (2) an
inferior product mix. Low return ratios of the business restrict re-rating of the company.
Maintain REDUCE rating with a revised Fair Value of Rs210.

3QFY21 consolidated EBITDA 35% above our estimates partly due to one-off positive impact
Apollo Tyres reported a consolidated EBITDA of Rs9.9 bn (+85% yoy), 35% above our estimates
led by (1) better-than-expected revenue print, (2) better-than-expected gross margins due to
low-cost inventory at the start of the quarter and a better product mix, (3) cost savings due to
restructuring of the European business and (4) one-time positive impact of Rs1.2 bn due to
SIPCOT subsidy received cumulatively from FY2018 onwards in 3QFY21. Adjusted for that,
consolidated EBITDA was 19% above our estimates. Consolidated revenues were Rs51.5 bn
(+17% yoy), 11% higher than our estimates largely due to outperformance in Indian
operations. India revenues increased by 24% yoy (20% yoy after adjusting for one-time positive
impact) and European geography revenues increased by 8% yoy (in INR terms) mostly due to
the benefit of EUR appreciation against INR in 3QFY21. Standalone revenues came in at Rs34.2
bn (+24% yoy) mostly led by strong growth across segments in 3QFY21. Adjusted standalone
EBITDA margin came in at 18.7% (+570 bps yoy, -10 bps qoq), 190 bps above our estimates
due to better-than-expected gross margins on account of a better product mix and benefit of
low-cost inventory at the beginning of the quarter. We would like to note that 2QFY21
financials have been restated as the company took an exceptional loss of EUR69 mn owing to
specialization of European plants (EUR54 mn related to employee benefits).
Increase our FY2022-23E consolidated EPS assumptions by 4-17%; maintain REDUCE rating
We have increased our FY2022-23E consolidated EPS estimates by 4-17% led by (1) 3%
increase in revenue assumptions due to better-than-expected replacement demand led by
market share gains and (2) 60 bps increase in FY2022E EBITDA margin assumptions. We expect Hitesh Goel
profitability to improve over the next few years led by (1) improvement in capacity utilization of
Indian and European plants, (2) demand recovery leading to leverage benefits and (3) cost- Rishi Vora
cutting initiatives taken up the company related to employee cost (downsizing in EU
operations). However, we maintain REDUCE rating as we believe the return ratios of the
company will remain below 10% in FY2023E despite achieving ~80% utilization levels, which
will restrict the re-rating of the company. SoTP based FV revised to Rs210 (from Rs175 earlier).
We value the Indian business at 13X March 2023E EPS and European operations at 11X March

Capex intensity to come down over the next few years. The company plans to incur
Rs16 bn in FY2022E in India towards greenfield capacity in Andhra Pradesh and
maintenance capex. Total capacity in Andhra Pradesh would be 15,000 tires per day in
PCR segment and 3,000 truck tires per day, which will be completed in two phases. The
company may incur additional capex (marginal) in FY2022E if demand trend continues to
remain strong. For Europe business, the company will incur annual capex (mostly
maintenance capex) of EUR25-30 mn in FY2021E. The company will mostly incur
maintenance capex during FY2023E and FY2024E.
Focus on reducing fixed costs. The company highlighted that they have reduced costs
in FY2021E (most of which is sustainable) by (1) digital launch of products (historical costs
were around US$0.7 mn per launch versus current cost of US$0.12 mn), (2) tight control
on working capital requirements, (3) cut in travelling and consultation expenses (this will
come back in FY2022E), (4) hiring freeze and no salary hikes in FY2021E, (5) cut in
advertisement spends and promotional activities, (6) salary cut taken by the top
management and (7) supply-chain initiatives like network redesign to help reduce costs
while optimizing working capital. In European operations, the company has reduced its
workforce size by 528 in the Dutch operations during 2QFY21 (total workforce in Europe
is 2,500 employees). The company highlighted that it will result in cost savings to the
tune of EUR40-50 mn; however, the company will have to hire employees either in
Hungary or Indian operations, hence actual cost savings will be slightly lower than EUR40-
50 mn. During 9MFY21, the company generated free cash flow of Rs12 bn on
consolidated basis.
Other key points. (1) Prices of key materials in 3QFY21 versus last quarter – natural
rubber: Rs140/kg versus Rs 137/kg qoq, synthetic rubber: Rs115/kg versus Rs90/kg qoq,
carbon black: Rs 65/kg versus Rs 58/kg, (2) margins from OEM business are lower than
replacement business in the domestic business, (3) consolidated net debt stood at Rs38
bn in December 2020 versus Rs60 bn as of March 2020, (4) product mix for standalone
operations during 9MFY21 – 60% from truck segment, 17% from PCR segment, 7%
each from agri and LCV segments and 8% from others, (5) product mix for consolidated
operations during 9MFY21 – 42% from truck segment, 36% from PCR segment, 11%
from agri (including off-highway segment), 5% from LCV segment and 6% from others,
(6) the company incurs manufacturing cost of EUR2.6 per kg in Netherlands plant as
against manufacturing cost of <EUR1 per kg in Hungary plant, (7) the company will
launch Vredestein brand in India during March 2021 and (8) as per the company’s
internal assessment, in the domestic market, the company has a market share of 31% in
truck segment and 22% market share in PCR segment.
Exhibit 1: 3QFY21 consolidated EBITDA was 35% above our estimates due to better-than-expected revenue growth and one-off positive

redemptions, mostly in distribution assets, tempered overall AUM growth despite MTM

tailwinds. Employee payouts inched up a bit, indicating pressure on the HR front as
capital markets heat up. We expect medium-term growth trajectory to continue; retain

IIFL AMC has reported high AUM growth (20% qoq and 21% yoy); this business continues
to see steady inflows, though on a low base. At about 70-75 bps, yields in this segment are
well ahead of 55 bps yield for the overall recurring business.
Though distribution reported some outflows. IIFL’s distribution business (mostly MFs) seems
to have seen significant outflows, in line with trends in the MF industry. This led to overall
inflows to Rs20 bn for the company, as compared to Rs59 bn in 2QFY21.
And employee payouts increase. IIFL One’s variable pay was up 76% yoy and 30% qoq. The
company ran a few contests to incentive employees during the quarter. It appears that pressure Nischint Chawathe
on the human resources front is building up again and capital markets remain buoyant.

Revenue buoyancy strong, managing employee expectations remains crucial, ADD
It appears that IIFL’s key revenue-side challenges are gradually getting addressed with IIFL One Dipanjan Ghosh
showing steady improvement and asset management business gaining traction. A buoyant
capital market will provide tailwinds though outflows in the initial months are not unexpected. Abhijeet Sakhare
The key challenge for IIFLW, in fact now gets magnified, is to manage employee expectations.
Current market conditions will encourage more boutique wealth management shops to come Ashlesh Sonje
up or competition to poach its RMs. In this backdrop, IIFL’s investments in diversified product
offering will bode well.
We are tweaking our estimates to reflect recent MTM gains and trends in advisory and non-
recurring businesses. Post the revision, we expect IIFLW to deliver 66% and 18% PAT growth
in FY2022E and FY2023E on the back of 31% and 8% growth in AUMs, respectively. We are
rolling over our FV to Rs1,250 (21X FY2023E earnings) from Rs1,100; retain ADD.

IIFL Wealth Diversified Financials
Notes:
(1) Core PBT: PBT-other income.
The company acquired the business of L&T Wealth in 1QFY21 and 1QFY21, 2QFY21
and 3QFY21 results are reported for the merged entity. As such, the number are not
comparable yoy. The company added 900 new relevant families to its clientele from the
inorganic acquisition with AUM of Rs99 bn (Rs52.7 bn of recurring AUM and Rs46.5 bn
of non-recurring AUM).
Recurring AUM up 6% qoq. Growth in recurring AUM was strong at 6% qoq/18% yoy
led by strong inflows in IIFL One (PMS) and AMC segment and high MTM gains during
the quarter led by sharp rally in capital markets (Nifty-50 AUM up 2% in 3QFY21 over
2QFY21).
18% yoy/6% qoq growth in adjusted net AUM (excluding custody). Net AUM
excluding custody assets was up ~6% qoq/18% yoy to ~Rs1.78 tn. Strong sequential
growth in AUM was led by strong rally in market performance and strong inflows in
IIFL One and AMC businesses.
61% yoy/17% qoq growth in PMS/advisory AUM. Advisory/PMS AUM was up 61%
yoy/17% qoq to Rs259 bn. Growth in AUM was driven by continued addition to the
base (inflows of ~Rs30 bn during the quarter; 13% of opening AUM) while MTM
gains were muted. Low-yielding advisory AUM has declined to Rs47 bn in 3QFY21
from Rs53 bn in 2QFY21. This will gradually shift to other segments by 4QFY21E.
Strong growth in AMC assets. AUM of funds managed by IIFL AMC was up 21% qoq
(up 20% yoy). Growth was strong in the high yielding AIFs (up ~15% qoq) and
discretionary PMS (up ~30% qoq). Overall inflows were strong at ~Rs20-25 bn in
3QFY21.Gross inflows were strong at ~Rs20-25 bn (7-9% of opening net AUM excluding
custody). MTM gains during the quarter were a tad lower than the index (Nifty-50 up
24% qoq in 3QFY21 over 2QFY21) at ~12-13% (listed equities are only around 25% of
overall AUM for the AMC).
Over 1HFY21, the company’s listed equities recorded superior performance compared
to benchmarks and another pre-IPO fund has delivered robust performance leading to
strong interest from institutional clients and large distributors. Strong distributor
network (tie-up with 60+ distributors/channel partners), product innovation,
investment in technology initiatives across various business processes and focus on
talent acquisition and retention remain key focus areas.
Rs20 bn of net inflows to non-custody assets. Net inflows to non-custody assets were
lower at Rs20 bn compared to Rs60 bn in 2QFY21. While gross inflows remained strong,
higher redemptions led to drop in net inflows. According to management, there was an
increased focus from investor for purchasing real estate assets during the quarter (driven
by higher discounts from developer and lower stamp duty charges in select states).
Strong growth in recurring AUMs over medium term. We expect IIFL Wealth to
deliver strong 25% CAGR growth in recurring AUM over FY2022-24E. Growth in recurring
AUM will likely be strong at 51% yoy in FY2021E due to impact of high MTM in FY2020
(on the back of high MTM losses in March 2020 and inorganic acquisition of Rs100 bn in
1QFY21). AUM growth will be a function of continued traction in fresh inflows in IIFL One
and AMC segments and gradual pick up of inflows in the distribution segment.
AUM growth in the PMS/advisory business will likely taper down to 33% yoy in
FY2021E (up 1X yoy in FY2020). Exit of advisory business (most of these AUMs may
move to other segments, ~18% of PMS/advisory AUM) and gradual moderation of the
base are key drivers. While client addition to IIFL One was muted over 3QFY20-
1QFY21, it has gradually picked up over the past two quarters. IIFL One AUM
increased 14% qoq in 3QFY21 (up 11% qoq in 2QFY21) led by traction in fresh
inflows. We expect client addition to remain strong in this segment driven by
penetration into new geographies, on-boarding of client with smaller ticket size and
transition of clients (who had previously invested in distribution assets under the
erstwhile up-front commission model) from non-recurring to recurring assets.
We bake in muted 15% yoy growth in MF AUM (trail based model) in FY2021E and
increasing further to ~20% CAGR over FY2022-24E. Pick-up in fresh inflows for the
distribution segment from trough levels will support overall AUM. While gross inflows
and SIPs picked up meaningfully for the MF industry in December 2020, higher
redemptions continued to drive net outflows Management guided that inflows have
remained strong in January 2021 too.
NBFC’s AUMs will likely increase to Rs39 bn in FY2022E from trough levels of ~Rs35
bn. Management guided that NBFC AUM will continue to remain low at ~2.5-4% of
AUM.

Notes:
(1) Data for FY2018 and FY2019 are approximations.
Recurring yields (excluding loans) increased 4 bps qoq to 53 bps. Yields in the
recurring business (excluding loans) increased marginally by 2 bps yoy/4 qoq to 53 bps.
Yields were interplay of (1) marginal increase in yields on the recurring business (up 2 bps
qoq to 27 bps) owing to strong growth in discretionary PMS and drop in share of advisory
and basket AUM, (2) sharp increase in yields on the AMC business (up 12 bps yoy/7 bps
qoq to 77 bps) led by strong growth in high-yielding discretionary PMS and AIFs and (3)
marginal increase in yields for distributed assets (up 4 bps qoq to 46 bps for mutual funds
and 11 bps qoq/14 bps yoy to 78 bps) led by gradual shift in investor preference towards
equity assets. Increase in share of the PMS business to overall recurring AUM (~29% in
3QFY21 compared to 23% in 3QFY2) however will drag overall yields.
Yields in PMS/advisory business increased a bit from trough levels. In the PMS/advisory
business, the blended yields on discretionary and non-discretionary AUM are around
40 bps. However, a high share of low-yielding advisory AUM (~18% of AUM which
earns yields around 5 bps) and basket AUM (around 15-20%) continues to drag overall
yields.
Yields on the NBFC segment was up 25 bps yoy to 6.2%; it however moderate qoq
(on a high base)
We expect yields in the PMS business to gradually pick up in FY2022E to ~35 bps and
further increase to ~39 bps by FY2024E. Yields are expected to pick up from 4QFY21E
(32 bps compared to 24 bps in 9MFY21) as the advisory AUM (around 18%) transition
to other segments. The yields on the advisory business are low at ~5-10 bps. This
segment also has some basket AUMs, which don’t earn income for now. Additionally,
the increase in share of low-ticket clients (yields are relatively higher for low-ticket
clients) can provide upside to our yield estimates.
We expect yields in the AMC business to sustain at ~70 bps; focus on discretionary
PMS and AIFs augur well.
Yields on the NBFC business are expected to remain a bit higher than normalized levels
at 5% in FY2022E due to low cost of incremental borrowing and moderate to ~4.5%
by FY2023-24E.
Notes:
(1) Asset yields are calculated as revenue/average closing assets in the segment.

(1) Asset yields are calculated as revenue/average closing assets in the segment.
Other income was high at Rs410 mn in 3QFY21 owing to MTM gains during the quarter led
by rally in capital markets (Nifty-50 up 24% in 3QFY21 over 2QFY21).
We expect brokerage revenue growth to taper down from peak levels (up 14% yoy in
FY2022E and 8% CAGR over FY202-24E) over the next few years. Buoyancy in capital
markets will continue to support overall inflows over 1HCY21 and gradually moderate
thereafter. Brokerage revenues have supported overall revenues in FY2020-21E while
inflows to recurring AUM were tepid. While we do not build in any carry income in FY2021-
22E, we bake in Rs400 mn of carry income in FY2023E and Rs250 mn in FY2024E as some
funds mature in the AMC business
The share of recurring revenues to overall revenues (excluding other income) will increase to
73% by FY2024E from 67% in FY2021E and 58% in FY2020.
We build other income of Rs500-860 mn over FY2022-24E. The share of other income will
likely remain stable at ~5%.

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Gradual reopening of business has led to increase in overheads (other expenses were
up 23% yoy/down 4% qoq). The management continues invest in ramping up its
digital capabilities.
Cost-to-income ratio declined 480 bps yoy to 54.6% (up 60 bps qoq).
Cost ratios will gradually moderate over medium term. We expect IIFL’s cost-to-
income ratio (excluding other income) to moderate to 48.6% in FY2024E from 55.2% in
FY2022E (61.3% in FY2020). Lower discretionary spends, focus on productivity
improvement and modest growth variable incentives (excluding ESOPs) will lead to
decline in cost ratios. Additionally, the transition to a trail based revenue recognition
model by FY2023E will lead to cost ratios similar to FY2019 levels.
We expect employee expenses to remain a bit high over CY2021E due to buoyancy in
capital markets. We bake-in 19% yoy growth in ex-ESOP employee expenses in
FY2022E on the back of 40% yoy growth in variable incentives (muted at 2% and 8%
yoy respectively in FY2021E and FY2020 and down 15% yoy in FY2019). Retaining
RMs and team leaders remain a key focus area for the company. Assuming markets
were to correct, the company will likely curtail employee expenses to manage overall
earnings.
IIFL Wealth has successfully retained RMs/team leaders with negligible attrition rate
(among team leaders) at <3% over FY2017-19. However, the current phase of revival
in capital markets likely providing new opportunities for employees will test the
company’s ability to retain talent by tweaking expense assumptions. As such, team
leader attrition rate was high at 6.3% in FY2020.

International business drives revenue outperformance with continued ad-hoc contract wins
SIS posted healthy 3QFY21 performance driven by: (1) international security business revenue
growth of 27% yoy was significantly ahead of our estimate of 12% yoy growth, (2) India FM
business revenues declined 15% yoy (vs KIE estimate of 19% yoy decline), and (3) India security
business revenues declined 2% yoy (vs KIE estimate of 5% yoy decline). The international
business gained from new government business, ad-hoc contract wins and festive season
demand. India businesses are gradually recovering; we expect India security business to recover
to pre-Covid levels by 4QFY21, while the FM business may take longer to recover.
International security business and some pick-up in FM drive decent EBITDA margin print
3QFY21 EBITDA was up 10% yoy (12% ahead of estimates) driven by (1) higher-than-expected
margins of India FM business (4.3% vs KIE estimate of 3.5%), and (2) healthy margins of the
international security business (7.1% vs KIE estimate of 6.7%). This more than offset the
negative surprise in margins of the India security business (5.7% vs KIE estimate of 6%). A
freeze on all discretionary non-IT capex imposed for FY2021 aided lower depreciation expenses.
Strong collections aid healthy OCF/EBITDA level of 145%
SIS’ net debt increased marginally to Rs4.9 bn as of December 2020 from Rs4.6 bn as of
September 2020 despite an outflow of Rs1.9 bn towards acquisition of remainder stake in SXP.
This was on account of strong cash conversion with OCF/EBITDA at 145%, driven by strong
collections, lower working capital needs (lower growth rates) and stable business. This cash
conversion may however come off as growth revives and working capital needs increase.
Garima Mishra
Expect business to remain resilient; retain BUY
We believe demand for SIS’ services should revive going forward as businesses gradually come Shubhangi Nigam
out of lockdowns. India security revenues in December 2020 were at 97% of March 2020
revenue levels, International Security was at 136%, and Facility Management was at 83%. We
make minor revisions to our EBITDA estimates; lower interest and depreciation charge drive a 4-
11% EPS upgrade for FY2022-23. We roll forward to March 2023, assume lower working
capital requirements and revise our SoTP-based FV to Rs460 (Rs425 earlier). Retain BUY. kspcg.research@kotak.com

Exhibit 1: International business revenues and higher margins drive higher-than-expected profitability
Quarterly results snapshot of SIS, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn)
International business gained from some new government business and some ad-hoc, short-
term contracts; the current revenue run-rate thus may normalize FY2022 onwards. We note
that most of SIS’ international business is in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore where
Covid-related impact is far lower than that in India.
Internal cost-cutting measures such as lower overhead costs, reduced IT spends drove better
margins overall in 3QFY21.
There were certain special items that impacted net profit of the company in 9MFY21. These
included: (1) Rs324 mn (Rs471 mn – Rs147 mn) of unrealized forex movement impact, (2)
Rs325 mn of grants from governments recognized in the international security business, and
(3) gain of Rs424 mn as a result of write-down of liability created for acquisition of
remainder 49% stake in Southern Cross Protection (final prices paid was lower than the
original liability created on books).

Sectors in focus. SIS is watchful of sectors like real estate, malls, etc. as they are taking
longer to recover. SIS has also decided to not pursue new orders temporarily for next two
quarters in eight sectors, which it believes have higher risk of bad debts and is trying to
sharpen its focus on eight priority sectors like e-commerce etc., which have trended well
in and after Covid.
Write-back of provisions. Working capital utilization is at an all-time low and SIS has
not borrowed for WC in 9MFY21. It has reversed some provisions undertaken in 9MFY21,
though is still carrying a chunk forward in order to follow a conservative approach. SIS
wants to rejig customer portfolio, optimize working capital exposure, and credit risk in
general. If any provisions continue in 4QFY21 as well, then they might be written back in
FY2022.
Cash logistics. Cash in circulation has reached 16% in India which is currently, one of
the highest in recent history. Due to Covid, people are keeping more cash with them for
emergency needs. Direct benefits transfer (DBT) in rural areas has also increased cash
usage. The segment is tracking revenues 6.5% above March 2020 levels. Despite the
ATM pricing reset getting delayed due to the pressures on the banking sector, SIS has
been able to get pricing increase on few contracts. Pricing uptick plus cost measures led
to segment continuing its strong margin trends with EBITDA margin at 10%, up from
8.6% in the previous quarter. Despite increase in fuel prices by 19%, margins improved
through dynamic management of on-ground routes, proactive cost control and
Net debt. Net debt (pre-lease liabilities) increased by Rs0.3 bn sequentially to Rs3.7 bn.
Net debt/EBITDA came at 0.92 in 3QFY21 (vs 0.9 in 2QFY21). SIS has set target of 1X for
the same. Net cash has not changed much because of Rs1.9 bn of SXP payment. Gross
debt on a c/c basis was Rs12.8 bn in Dec 2020 (vs Rs13.25 bn in Mar 2020) and so has
gone down. The cash will be first used for earn-out settlement, then for any other
opportunities of debt reduction. It will be mostly done for international operations than
for Indian business.
Other balance sheet items. The company demonstrated very strong cash conversion
with OCF/ EBITDA at 145%. This will however revert to 100% or less in the future. High
OCF generation was on the back of strong collections, lower working capital needs and
stable business. Current portion of long-term liabilities now includes: (1) NAB debt
(@2.4% rate) which was due for maturity in April 2021 has received an extension of
facility and will now be shown as long term, and (2) NCDs due in April 2021, it has
received the approval from board for fresh issue for the existing NCD Rs1.50 bn (@9.5%
rate), and it will also move from short to long term liabilities.
Terminix SIS showed a robust yoy growth on the back of strong wins in the area of
disinfection and sanitization with 26% EBITDA margins for 9MFY21. SIS also initiated
production support services to assist manufacturing, warehousing and ecommerce
companies in their operations and maintenance. The newly passed labor reforms provide
further impetus to the outsourcing of production support services.
Labor laws. According to the new laws, the responsibility of compliance for both
contractual and direct employees rests on the principal employer. This makes outsourcing
just for the sake of lower cost unviable in the long term. Per the company, the labor
department is extremely fractured with different departments having data-sets that don’t
sync with each other. Due to these cracks in the system, smaller operators take shortcuts
and are non-compliant. With single registration (Shram Suvidha portal), government will
now have the ability to correlate filings and establish gaps and inconsistencies. This will
lead to organic growth by market share consolidation for SIS (currently <5%). Globally,
market leaders have at least a ~15-20% share. New labor reforms will gradually aid in
shift from unorganized to organized operators and provide opportunities to organically
build market share.
Inorganic opportunity. There is stress on smaller players due to both labor reforms and
Covid. But the company wants to delay any potential opportunity of acquisition and
wants to focus on integration of acquisitions done in FY2020: Uniq, Henderson and P4G.
We roll forward our SoTP-based Fair Value to March 2023 from December 2022. This
coupled with lower debt assumption results in a revised FV of Rs460.

A good comeback. BAJAJCON reported 18% yoy growth in revenues led by healthy CMP (`): 263
14% growth in ADHO. Hair oil category growth has nearly normalized led by rural Fair Value (`): 300
demand and gradual recovery in urban demand. This, coupled with the new CEO’s
BSE-30: 50,614
single-minded focus and initiatives on reviving growth (product refresh, aggression in
LUPs, improved communication and visibility across retail channels) are yielding results.
We increase FY2022-23E EPS by 10-12%, raise DCF-based FV to Rs300 (from Rs250)
implying 17X Mar-2023E earnings.

Net operating revenues were up 18% yoy to Rs2.43 bn (KIE Rs2.29 bn). ADHO grew 14% yoy.
Amla hair oil contributed ~3-4% of sales. Gross margin moderated ~360bps yoy due to one-
time liquidation of sanitizer (~150bps impact) and input cost inflation (~250bps impact).
Inflationary pressures were noted in mustard oil (+8% qoq) and LLP (+15% qoq). EBITDA grew
16% yoy to Rs631 mn. EBITDA margin was largely flat at 25.5% (KIE: 27.9%) aided by
operating leverage and some cost control. BAJAJCON has taken 1.5% price hike in 3Q. A&P
spends grew 5% yoy to 19.2% of sales versus 21.7% in 3QFY20. Employee expenses were up
only 3% yoy while other expenses (excluding ad-spends) were up 16% yoy. PBT/PAT grew 16%
yoy each. PAT stood at Rs582 mn. On 9M basis, revenue grew 1% yoy, EBITDA declined 2%
yoy (RM pressure), and PAT grew 2% yoy.
Broadening demand recovery; Continued investments on ADHO re-fresh; Amla hair oils scale-up
Revenue delivery was driven by +37% yoy growth in rural, in addition to recovery in urban.
Alternate channels (MT and CSD) saw good recovery (up 25.4% yoy), post some weakness in
the 1H. GT channel/ international business reported growth of 17.2/17.6% respectively.
Management highlighted increased consumer preference for large packs (launched ADHO
650ml in MT) and economy-end products (Amla hair oil). Channel health improved with yoy
lower distributor inventory days. Jaykumar Doshi
Key focus areas for BAJAJCON to drive sustainable topline recovery include – (1) rural
distribution expansion (van coverage), (2) distribution ramp-up for Amla hair oils (236k outlets Aniket Sethi
as Dec-20 vs 121k in Dec-19), (3) increased aggression on LUPs for ADHO to drive accessibility
(5+1 sachet pack, Rs20 SKUs), (4) marketing support for ADHO refresh (TVC, social media Sushruta Mishra
campaign, and influence engagement), (5) accelerated pace of new launches, and (6)
portfolio/capability investments on e-commerce channel (grew ~3X yoy, 2.5% of sales now).
We raise growth and margin assumptions and increase FY2022-23E EPS by 10-12%. We raise
DCF-based FV to Rs300 (from Rs250) implying 17X Mar-2023E earnings. kspcg.research@kotak.com

Demand trends. BAJAJCON registered 18% yoy revenue growth in 3Q, on the back of
continued strong growth in rural markets (+37% yoy) and recovery in urban (+7% yoy).
Revenue contribution of urban/rural has changed to 50/50% currently compared to
56/44% earlier. ADHO registered 14% yoy growth in 3Q led by large packs (launched
650ml ADHO pack in MT channel in Dec-20). Amla Hair oil continues to gain scale in
Northern states, contributing ~3-4% of sales currently. Per Nielsen, value market share of
Bajaj hair oils has increased to 10.3% as of MAT Dec-20. Both urban and rural markets
saw pick-up in market share. Management highlighted increased consumer preference
for economy end products. Secondary sales growth (+19% yoy) was higher than primary
sales growth in 3Q.
Rising RM inflation. Gross margin moderated ~360bps yoy due to one-time liquidation
of sanitizer (~150bps impact) and input cost inflation (~250bps impact). Management
highlighted short-term input cost inflation in refined mustard oil (expected to moderate
with new harvest) and LLP. The company has undertaken a 1.5% price hike in the Dec-
2020 quarter. Given pressure on gross margins and A&P dial-up (digital and TVC) to
support upcoming new launches, the company expects yoy moderation in EBITDA
margins in FY22E.
Others. (1) BAJAJCON has set up an outsourced manufacturing unit in Baroda to better
serve Western markets, (2) declared interim dividend of Rs6 per share.

Zee management has indicated that it would step up investments in TV and OTT in FY2022E
and its EBITDA margin guidance of 30% would be revised downwards post 4Q. Given this, we
do not expect much upside risk to earnings even as ad spends outlook has improved. Further,
Zee has guided higher investments in movie production business as it plans 30-40 movies/year
as against 10 movies at present, implying drag on profitability and W-cap and cash generation.
The management has also indicated that Sugarbox capex may commence starting FY2022.

Ad revenues grew 6% yoy (KIE 2%) to Rs13 bn as against 29% decline in 2Q. Recovery in
ad revenues is ahead of our expectations and was largely driven by FMCG category.
Domestic subscription revenues grew 9% (KIE 5%) on like-for-like basis (excluding sales of
music rights) to Rs6.9 bn off a high base (+22% yoy). International subscription revenues
(like-for-like excluding sales of music rights) were broadly flay yoy at Rs840 mn. Underlying
EBITDA (excluding content syndication deal) grew 13% yoy to Rs6.4 bn, 15% above our
estimates largely due to a beat in advertising and subscription revenues. Recurring net profit
at Rs4.06 bn was up 4% yoy, in line with our estimate as EBITDA beat was offset by lower
other income and higher taxes (ETR at 38%).
Cash and treasury investments improved by Rs3.7 bn sequentially to Rs18.2 bn. Break-up of
Cash and treasury investments of Rs18.2 bn: Rs 3.9 bn bank balance + FD Rs6.5 bn +
Mutual Fund Rs7.3 bn + NCD Rs0.5 bn. Sequential improvement is weak in context of Rs5.5
bn received from content syndication and additional Rs6.4 bn of EBITDA in 3Q.
ZEE5 reported revenue of Rs1.2 bn (Rs989 mn/Rs949 mn in 2Q/1Q) and EBITDA loss of
Rs1.8 bn (Rs1.9 bn /Rs1.45 bn in 2Q/1Q).

Exhibit 9: Consolidated financial summary of Zee Entertainment, March fiscal year-ends, 2013-23E (Rs mn)
Sharp recovery in business, measured outlook. 3Q business metrics reflect benefits of CMP (`): 1,207
mix, operating leverage, large order win and meaningful support from orders from energy Fair Value (`): 1,080
transition. The order backlog is still down yoy and management’s outlook on growth is measured
beyond select pockets of support. Mindful of the risk of disruption to its key captive-power BSE-30: 50,614
business, TMX is evaluating go-for-technology partnerships. We bake in part of the
outperformance in 3Q and revise our estimates by 16%. Roll-forward to March 2023E yields a
revised Fair Value of Rs1,080. Downgrade to SELL after the recent rally in the stock.

3QFY21: surprises on the pace of business recovery, margin improvement boosted by one-off
Order pipeline healthy and can help cover up for lost ground, in our view
Without sharing the quantitative outlook, TMX did highlight growth support from the usual
suspects (cement, steel, F&B, pharma, chemicals). It shared support to ordering hereon from
refining capacities’ shift towards clean energy initiatives (waste heat recovery, spent wash),
largely on expected lines. Its outlook on broad-based demand growth was otherwise measured.
It shared limited lead it has versus peers in context of the recently launched National Hydrogen
Mission and limited exposure it intends to have in the B2C water business.
Thermax is considering all options (technology partnerships, inorganic route) to prepare for the
energy transition in the sector. For its key captive power plant business, key clients may consider
green energy substitutes, an issue that TMX is cognizant of. The transition towards clean energy
does generate business opportunities for TMX in select other energy and environment offerings,
Aditya Mongia
which would mitigate part of the overhang related to the captive power business.
We increase estimates by 20% and March 2023-based FV to Rs1,080; downgrade to SELL Teena Virmani
We revise our estimates for FY2023 by 20% as we build in ~14% higher revenues and some
part of the gross margin improvement seen in 3QFY21 sustaining. We retain our 25X multiple
and increase our Fair Value, gross of roll-forward, to Rs1,080. We downgrade the stock to SELL
from BUY based on expensive 28X FY2023E EPS.

Thermax Capital Goods
Improving demand outlook from various user industries. The company’s order
booking declined 2.6% yoy to Rs15.6 bn in 3QFY21 while order backlog is maintained at
Rs52 bn. Broad-based recovery was witnessed during the quarter with momentum in
sectors ranging from cement, steel, refinery, distilleries and food & beverage. During the
quarter, majority of inflows were from the energy segment including a large order from
bio refinery worth Rs3.2 bn. The company is witnessing change in ordering pattern with
more focus towards green energy related orders across energy and environment business.
Subsidiary performance was weak during the quarter. During the quarter, the
company provided for diminution in its value of investments in Danstoker and Indonesia.
Performance of Danstoker was not in line with expectations due to weaker-than-expected
demand recovery and Covid-led restrictions. With the change in energy environment in
Europe, market for district heating has reduced where the company was present. They
are now adding bio mass, boilers, green energy and expect break even to come in a few
quarters. Indonesian operations were also impacted during the quarter and the company
expects it to improve in coming quarters with strong pipeline of bio mass and fuel
flexibility related orders. Cooling business in the US also saw short-term slowdown during
the quarter.
Focus on cash flows and profitability. Thermax management has indicated that they
remain focused on profitability and cash flows of projects while bidding. In the energy
segment, a lot of refinery orders were budgeted last year and with rise in commodity
prices, the company will be taking a conscious call for bidding for those projects. Similarly
the pipeline for FGD projects is strong, the company would intend to maintain focus on
cash flows and margins while bidding for these projects.
