Result Update
Strong show across the board…
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) reported a robust Q3FY18 performance, way
above our expectations in terms of profitability and order inflows.
Order inflows grew 38% YoY on a pick-up in tendering and ordering
activity in domestic markets. However, international market order
wins were sluggish. The key positive in terms of execution was the
11% YoY growth in infrastructure segment revenues. L&T has
maintained its order inflow and revenue growth guidance of 0% and
12% for FY18E, respectively
Standalone revenues for the quarter grew 11% YoY to | 17715 crore
vs. our estimate of | 17920 crore. On a consolidated basis, revenues
grew 10% YoY | 28700 crore. On the positive side, infrastructure
segment revenues were up 11% for Q3FY18 at | 13800 crore.
Consistent recovery continues in the hydrocarbon segment where
revenues grew 29% YoY to | 3080 crore coupled with strong growth
in the heavy engineering business revenues grew 19% YoY. On the
weaker side, with lower carry on the backlog, power revenues
declined 22% YoY while heavy engineering segment witnessed 3%
YoY revenue growth. Developmental projects segment revenues
increased 14% YoY
Standalone EBITDA margins came in at 9.4%, up 90 bps YoY and
above our estimate of 8.9%. On a consolidated basis, EBITDA
margins were at 9.1%. From a segmental perspective, infrastructure
segment recorded margins of 7.8% due to job mix and stage of
completion of projects. On the positive side, hydrocarbon and E&A
segment all saw margin expansion at 8% and 17.3%, respectively.
The company has maintained its margin guidance for FY18E
Domestic order wins surprise positively
For Q3FY18, domestic order inflows were up 71% YoY to | 39300 crore
on the back of finalisation of big ticket orders and rollover of order
awards stuck on account of GST. In 9MFY18, order inflows were up 8%
YoY, which provides enough cushion to L&T to meet its yearly guidance
given it will have to report order wins of | 40000 crore in Q4FY18. In
terms of segment, government ordering is strong while private capex is
still weak. Infrastructure segment inflows grew 25% YoY while
hydrocarbon and heavy engineering also witnessed significant orders on
a low base. Going ahead, we build in order inflow growth of 14.7% and
13.3% YoY in FY19E and FY20E, respectively.
Revenues to grow at 15.8% CAGR over FY18-20E
The key positive that emerged from the Q3FY18 execution trend was a
robust pick-up in infra segment revenues, which grew 11% YoY. The
management commentary suggests the trend may be a secular one,
going ahead. Given robust order wins and pick-up in execution
environment, L&T can deliver 15.8% revenue CAGR over FY18-20E.
Growth trajectory to get stronger; maintain BUY
L&T is in a set up wherein all variables like decent order wins, pick-up in
domestic execution, monetisation of assets and the strong performance
of key subsidiaries will only strengthen the growth trajectory ahead as
we expect 15.8% PAT CAGR couple with RoEs reaching 15% by FY20E.
To reflect the same, we up the P/E multiple from 21x to 23x and roll over
valuations to FY20E. We revise our target price from | 1430 to | 1700
and rate the stock as a must have in one’s portfolio.

Key results and conference call highlights
Order inflows were the key highlight of the result as they grew 38%
YoY to the tune of | 48100 crore. The key highlight was an increase in
share of domestic orders to 82% in Q3FY18 vs. 66% in Q3FY17,
implying growth of 71%. Growth was mainly led by rollover of orders
delayed on account of GST and a pick-up in big ticket orders across
the infra and hydrocarbon space. On the flip side, international
inflows were down 25% YoY. Given that in previous quarter L&T had
won a major hydrocarbon order ($1 billion). The company has
maintained its order inflow guidance of 0% YoY growth in FY18E
The consolidated orderbook was at | 271000 crore with no slow
moving orders in the backlog. We believe this will ensure a gradual
pick-up in execution in FY18-20E. The infrastructure segment
constitutes a lion’s share of the backlog at 74%. The hydrocarbon and
heavy engineering segment share was at 11% and 5%, respectively.
The share of the power segment is stagnant at 4% over the past
many quarters as the situation in the BTG equipment is not
improving. The share of the international segment in orders wins and
backlog in 9MFY18 was at 25% and 20%, respectively
In terms of segment revenues, infrastructure segment revenues were
up 11% for Q3FY18. Consistent recovery continues in the
hydrocarbon segment where revenues grew 29% YoY coupled with
Heavy engineering business as revenues grew 15% YoY. The key
highlight was 55% YoY growth in heavy engineering revenues on
account of a pick-up in defence jobs
On a consolidated basis, EBITDA margins came in at 11.3%, up 210
bps YoY. Standalone margins came in at 8.3%, flattish YoY. The key
positive was positive EBIDTA margins across all operating segments.
Infrastructure segment reported flattish margins 7.5% on account of
muted execution. Power segment bounced back into the black at
2.1%. Hydrocarbon, heavy engineering all witnessed margin
expansion at 8% and 17.3%, respectively. L&T has maintained its
margin guidance for FY18E
Despite GST led transition issues, the company managed to maintain
its working capital to sales ratio to 21.5%

Company Analysis
Domestic order wins surprise positively
For Q3FY18, domestic order inflows were up 71% YoY to | 39300 crore
on the back of finalisation of big ticket orders and rollover of order awards
stuck on account of GST. In 9MFY18, order inflows were up 8% YoY,
providing enough cushion to L&T to meet its yearly guidance given it will
need to report order wins of | 40000 crore in Q4FY18. In terms of
segment, government ordering is strong while private capex is still weak.
Infrastructure segment inflows grew 25% YoY growth in inflows while
hydrocarbon and heavy engineering also witnessed significant orders on
a low base. Going ahead we build in order inflow growth of 14.7% and
13.3% YoY in FY19E and FY20E, respectively.
Over the next three to five years, we expect L&T’s revenue growth to be
propelled by the infrastructure division as over 75% of the backlog and
50% of new order wins are coming from these segments. We have noted
that L&T has been able to meet most of its yearly guidance across order
inflow growth, revenue growth and margins.

Diversity: L&T’s biggest USP both during up/down turns in capex cycle
L&T’s current order backlog of | 257500 crore (Q2FY18, excluding
hydrocarbon & services) is highly diversified across segments and
geographies. Out of the current backlog, the infrastructure segment
(roads, buildings & factories, urban infra, airports) comprises 74% of the
backlog whereas power (generation and T&D) and process (metals &
material handling) segments share is at 4% and 5%, respectively. Others
(defence, shipbuilding and electronic products), on the other hand,
constitute 9% of the backlog. However, with the focus of the government
on reforming the power sector and opening of the defence sector and
L&T’s vigorous efforts to scale up international hydrocarbon business
(vision of $5 billion in revenues), share of these segments can rise sharply
in the next five years.
Going ahead, we build in order inflows of | 117350 crore and | 132900
crore in FY19E and FY20E, respectively. We expect L&T to end with a
standalone order backlog of | 334780 crore by FY20E end.

Margins to improve gradually to 10.4- 10.5% over FY19- FY20E
Standalone EBITDA margins came in at 9.4%, up 90 bps YoY and
above our estimate of 8.9%. This was on account of all the
businesses reporting positive margins in Q3FY18. On a consolidated
basis, EBITDA margins were at 9.1%. From a segmental perspective,
infrastructure segment recorded margins of 7.8% on account of job
mix and stage of completion of projects. On the positive side,
hydrocarbon and E&A segment all witnessed margin expansion at
8% and 17.3%, respectively. The company has maintained its margin
guidance for FY18E. Going ahead, we build in margins of 10.4% and
10.5% for the standalone business for FY19E and FY20E, respectively

PAT CAGR of 15.8% in FY18-20 owing to pick-up in execution cycle and
gradual uptick in EBITDA margins in FY18E-20E
We expect revenues CAGR of 15.8% in FY18-20E while EBITDA CAGR
over the same period is expected at 16.1%. Our PAT CAGR in FY17-19E is
at ~15.8% as we have assumed moderate rise in other income
component in FY18-20E while depreciation is expected to exhibit a CAGR
of ~6.7%. Hence, we expect PAT at | 7428.5 crore in FY20E vs. | 5528
crore in FY17.

RoEs: Likely to inch up to 15% in FY20E from 11.4% in FY17
The RoEs of the standalone base business used to average between 24%
and 27% in FY08-10 but the same has declined to 11.4% in FY17 as L&T’s
investments in BOT assets (road, power, urban infra) rose from | 5740
crore in FY10 to | 15168 crore in FY14.
The management’s decision on significantly slowing down new BOT
assets investment coupled with divesture of non-strategic
subsidiaries/JVs and possible monetisation of L&T IDPL will reduce
pressure on standalone RoEs.
The key impediment in the medium term would be the low utilisation of
facilities at the shipbuilding business and the NPCIL JV, which are making
losses at this juncture. Going ahead, as per the management, shipbuilding
business would be limited to | 100 crore.
Out of the above, a few service oriented subsidiaries are cash flow
generators (L&T Infotech and L&T Finance holdings) and will not burden
parent’s balance sheet for growth. Going ahead, the management expects
to hive off Nabha Power and restructure L&T IDPL in FY17-19E, in order to
ease pressure on the parent’s cash flows and meet funding requirements
in developmental assets.

Going ahead, L&T’s management has clearly shifted its focus on reducing
the equity funding stress on base business balance sheet and
simultaneously monetising non-strategic subsidiaries to raise future
equity requirement for the subsidiary.
Going ahead, we expect L&T to report RoEs in the range of 13-14% for
the standalone business in FY17-19E. However, the scenario may
drastically change in FY19-20, as 1) L&T has already divested its entire
stake in Dhamra port, which will free up equity required in developmental
portfolio, 2) L&T has signalled the possible stake sale of 20-25% stake in
IDPL wherein it has already roped in a strategic investor to the tune of
| 2000 crore of equity, 3) Losses of shipbuilding business will reduce
significantly if the capex cycle recovers in time with the opening up of the
defence sector. These subsidiaries will turn into black and 4) The
company is close to selling its Nabha power plant and general insurance
business and also restructuring L&T IDPL. These actions, in our view, will
be RoE accretive from FY18E onwards.
ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8
Outlook and Valuation
L&T is placed in a set-up wherein all variables like decent order wins,
pick-up in domestic execution, monetisation of assets and strong
performance of key subsidiaries will only strengthen the growth
trajectory ahead as we anticipate 15.8% PAT CAGR coupled with RoEs
reaching 15% by FY20E. To reflect the same, we up the P/E multiple
from 21x to 23x and roll over valuations to FY20E. We revise our target
price from | 1430 to | 1700 and rate the stock as a must have in one’s
portfolio.
