Covid-19 impact
INDIA | SECTOR UPDATE
10 April 2020
All cement plants across the nation are at a standstill because of the lock-down announced by the centre to control the spread of Covid-19. Our coverage universe (referred to as sector from here) represents c.70% of the industry, which we believe is a fair representation. It is a given that the sector has lost 20% of the projected volumes for FY21. This note should be read for:
Ground feedback on the lockdown – possibilities that evolve post lockdown. Industry responses to overcome the challenges. How is the sector positioned to tackle the impact of lockdown. How are individual companies placed within the sector. Why supply-chain efficiency will gain further importance in the long-run.
Best picks: Shree Cement (the safest bet), UltraTech Cement, JK Cement (white cement business advantage an added advantage vs. peers), HeidelbergCement India and Dalmia Bharat (unprecedented correction gives an opportunity).
Ground feedback: Activities on the ground were normal in the first fortnight of March 2020. The momentum lost pace in latter half before it came to a standstill because of lockdown. Volume targets achieved for March were 40-70% across regions and prices remained fairly firm. Post lockdown, here are some of the concerns that the ground highlighted: Outstanding in the channels books is relatively higher, as they were unable to collect
payments. March being the year-end month, in normal circumstances, it is the opposite. This implies stretched working capital needs when the lockdown ends.
Customers are asking for extended credit. Companies requested the channel to expedite payment collections, but this could not
happen. Such requests to clear outstanding to channel by companies was an additional stress in few exceptional cases. In such cases, channel partners were requesting companies to adjust outstanding from the security deposits, which they said they would revive once the lockdown is over.
Industry stance: The industry has been fairly accommodative to stakeholders: Relaxations provided to channel partners in most cases for extended days of credit. Assurance given about encashment of discount structures to channel after lockdown. Many industry leaders have come on record on social media and whole-heartedly
expressed their commitment to remain supportive to all stakeholders. In an attempt to strengthen bonds with the ground, industry leaders initiated social
initiatives for the ground and their families to help them remain engaged among themselves during this lockdown period. Few have also urged the ground to consider a more participating relationship (in the form of adding bandwidth of product profiles or dealer exclusivity) after the lockdown.
How we read the situation when the lockdown opens up: Many believe that demand will surge because of pent-up requirements. However, we
believe that there will be issues with logistics and labour availability. Notably, labour availability is one of the reasons highlighted by managements in their commentaries about sluggish demand scenarios. States which are less dependent on migrant labour will be better placed and vice-versa.
Since cement is a continuous-process industry, it can gain normalcy only with continuous ground momentum. We don’t see that happening at least over the next 30 days. It will take at least 10-15 days more for the industry to sync up once the lockdown is fully lifted.
After lockdown, on an immediate basis, minor disruption in pricing cannot be ruled out. Supply-chain efficiencies will get distorted on immediate basis but this crisis will make it gain further importance in the long run. Being better efficient on ground practices will be the only savior for companies to withstand and overcome this crisis. Companies that realise this early would be ahead on the curve.

CEMENT SECTOR UPDATE
Volume loss impact on account of Covid-19: We believe it is a given that the industry will face lockdown impact atleast till the end of mid-May ’20 especially because:
News flows nowhere indicate to us that we are at the end of the crisis or even approaching closer to it.
Various state governments have urged the centre for extended lockdowns.
Though few state governments have said cement plants can be allowed to operate but it makes no sense to operate a cement plant when the clinker silos are already full and there is no market to sell even the existing inventory.
The call of operating a cement plant will also depend on visibility of continuity of operations as shutting a kiln and restarting it, have its own nuances and costs.
In our view, the maximum the industry can rather do now is pre-pone scheduled maintenance activities (if the government allows that) but that is too subject to availability of spare parts at the site. If required spare parts are unavailable, even maintenance would be a challenge.
Inter-state transfers play a very critical role in cement industry and unless all adjoining state borders of target markets are fully opened up, volumes will continue to remain under pressure.
Logistics (especially inter-state) will also be a challenge not just with the outward flow of cement but also with inward flow of raw materials (gypsum, additives, fly ash) and fuel (coal and pet coke).
As we see, it may take atleast 10-15 days more for the whole logistics network to fall in place once the lockdown is completely lifted across states.

For now, on an average, we cut our volume estimates by 20% for FY21 and 7% for FY22. We believe the economic slowdown will have a follow-on impact on cement demand in FY22 too.
We see our current volume cuts as conservative. We don’t rule out further volume cuts.

On an average, industry registers 28% of its annual volumes in Q4, which was missed by 2% in FY20 (estimated). This is not a major loss yet from Q4 perspective. Similarly in H1 and Q1 the industry registers 47% and 25% of its annual volumes.
Our estimate of 20% volume loss (assuming 45 days of lockdown either fully or partially) vs. earlier estimate for FY21, factors in an additional volume loss of 7% (beyond linear volume damage of 13%) for the industry in Q1. This is based on the expectations that the ground and the industry will need time of atleast 10-15 days to fall back in place and to be back in sync. The states, which are more dependent on migrated labour, may not see them return immediately. This is bound to impact construction activities in such labour dependent states. Logistics issues such as availability of wagons and trucks may also remain an intermittent issue. As construction may continue to wait for some more time, the immediate focus by centre and states will continue to remain to transport essential commodities like agricultural products and other necessities, which may remain an immediate need.
The EBITDA impact: Supply-chain efficiencies are bound to gain further importance in long-run
As we see, on immediate basis the ground will be more fragile vs. the industry when the lockdown opens up. The immediate task for the industry will be to ensure the needs of channel partners are taken care on priority. To us this implies that an immediate disruption in supply-chain efficiencies is not ruled out resulting in distortion of realisations, atleast for the initial few days as and when the lockdown opens fully.
But, we firmly believe that sooner or later the industry will realise that this distortion is not worthy. The importance of supply-chain is likely to gain significant importance in the long run and this crisis will ensure it happens in a quicker timeframe. The idle deltas on supply-chain ground practices will be the first ones to be addressed, resulting in either net realisations inch-up or costs becoming lower vs. past. Getting better on supply-chain will remain the only rescue path for most in the sector as the debt picture is likely to turn less favourable.
We don’t estimate an impact beyond a 1-2% as far as average net realisations are concerned in FY21. Our sensitivity analysis (on page 6) indicates that the debt-ridden players (which is the case with many in the industry) just cannot afford to go for a price cut. Rather with a 20% volume cut, FY21 average prices have to go up by a minimum of Rs15/bag to ensure minimum disruption in balance sheet strength. A price war on the ground will be a suicidal move.
For now, we see most of the EBITDA/tonne decline being driven by loss of scale efficiencies and recurring fixed costs.

From FY20 perspective, we don’t see any material downside risks to our EBITDA/tonne estimates for all companies under coverage. But, we see our EBITDA/tonne estimates declining by 12% and 7% for FY21 and FY22, respectively.
Shree Cement & Star Cement are likely to have the least impact on EBITDA/tonne.
At Shree Cement, driven by its strategy shift and directionally rising focus on supply-chain practices, we believe the ‘New Shree’ will continue to deliver an EBITDA/tonne nearly 50% better than the average of peers under our coverage. We expect positive surprises to continue at Shree Cement vs. industry. Shree Cement also remains the most flexible and adaptable company to this crisis, in our view.

Prima-facie, the net debt picture of the sector looks fairly comfortable with the weighted average at just about 15%.
However, that is misleading. If we exclude the presence of cash rich players from the sector, the net debt proportion rises by 3.4x with net debt to equity at 52%.
When we further exclude the presence of UltraTech Cement, the ratio rises further to 62% with a 4x increase.
This implies clearly that all the debt-ridden manufacturers, mainly mid-caps are clearly more vulnerable to the crisis vs. cash rich peers.

The net debt:EBITDA picture also has similar implications.
These debt numbers gives us more confidence as to why cement prices may not be at a huge risk despite very low capacity utilisations.
The net debt:EBITDA stands at 0.9x for FY21. But when we exclude cash rich players it increases to 2.8x. But, when we further exclude UltraTech Cement, it increases to whopping 3.4x.
This further implies that the debt-ridden mid-caps in no way can afford a longer-term ground war, which further deteriorates the supply-chain efficiencies of the sector, at large. It that happens, it will be a miserable move.

When we accumulate the debt numbers of all cement manufacturers in our
coverage; in a scenario of 20% volume cut, it appears a given that a Rs15/bag is the minimum annual average price increase requirement for FY21 that must happen for these mid-caps to sustain the balance sheet strength.
If the volume scenario further deteriorates in FY21 by another 10% (which we don’t rule out), the annual average price increase requirements for these debt-ridden manufacturers increases disproportionately by another Rs10/bag.
The scenario analysis clearly portrays that there is no room available in the industry for any price reduction, especially to debt-ridden companies. However, we don’t see that happening, as we believe that there are bound to be on ground distortions on many practices, atleast for the initial few days or months post the lockdown fully opens.
Resultantly, we cut our target multiples too.

We cut our target multiples by 6-23%. On an average we cut our target multiples by 15%.
Our target multiple for the sector is 30% lower than the historic 5-year (1-year forward) average the sector has traded.
The individual multiples are also on an average lower by 29% vs. historic 5-year (1-year forward) average.
We firmly reiterate our stance that companies, which remain directionally focused on improving business practices on ground, will re-rate much faster than peers in the long run.
Our supply-chain thesis continues to remain the core base of assigning target multiples to individual companies.

We cut our PO by 30% on an average.
Given our earlier POs are met for ACC Ltd. and Ambuja Cements and factoring in the incremental damage due to Covid-19, we see limited downside in ACC Ltd. and Ambuja Cements. Resultantly, we upgrade them to Neutral.
We downgrade India Cements to Sell rating factoring in an earnings downgrade and multiple cut. The multiple cut is relatively less vs. peers driven by the significant size of its capacity, factoring in a capacity premium in the multiple.
We reiterate BUY on Shree Cement (the safest bet), UltraTech Cement, JK Cement (white cement business advantage an added advantage vs. peers), HeidelbergCement India and Dalmia Bharat (Unprecedented correction gives an opportunity).

The sector currently trades at near par to replacement costs.
On an average we have valued the sector at US$126 (1-year forward).
Our target EV/tonne for most companies is at a discount of -4% to 40% vs. historic averages.
In the current scenario, the only companies where we see that they can command a premium are Shree Cement, UltraTech Cement, JK Cement and HeidelbergCement India. Dalmia Bharat and JK Lakshmi Cement can also move closer to trade at near par to replacement costs.
Shree Cement undoubtedly remains the most flexible company to adapt to these circumstances, given the balance sheet strength and flexibility of its business operations.

Risks to assumptions in the current scenario:
If an unreasonable price war happens and sustains, along with a volume cut larger than what we anticipate, many cement manufacturers are at the risk of getting bust. Price wars may have an uncontrollable damage.
The biggest risk to our assumptions is that if the cash rich players push volumes and reach out for a price war. Given a conscious change in stance by Shree Cement and focused management commentary to move towards product premiumisation, we don’t see this happening yet at Shree Cement. However, the risk continues to remain from other pan-India cash rich players.
Though mid-cap manufacturers and few large-cap manufacturers too have no appetite to distort on ground supply-chain efficiencies and damage profit margins, but if they do so, it will be a significant challenge.
The lockdown gets over after 45 days but in a limited way, that impacts inter-state transfers.
The lockdown extends beyond two months. Outcomes of the crisis for the industry:
Deferment of capex by 6 months to 1 year is a given and capacity growth will taper off for sure.
Companies that have already completed capex will have better advantages vs. peers, atleast for the next 1-2 years, as this capex will enable them to capitalize on market share better off vs. peers.
Most mid-caps who were inefficient on supply-chain practices will be pushed to have a relook at their ground strategies and get more efficient directionally on such practices in the long run.
Overall, in sync to what we have been consistently highlighting in our supply-chain thesis, the players who remain more responsible and fair in their on the ground business practices will emerge as long term winners. Any deviations from these fair practices in these circumstances can put the respective balance sheet at a significant risk.
