2QCY18 earnings print – a healthy set of numbers
Revenues grew 12% yoy to `26.8 bn, broadly in line with our expected `26.9 bn. Domestic
sales grew 12% on a reported basis and 14.5% on an underlying basis. Export revenues grew a
solid 16% yoy, the highest yoy growth comp reported since March 2015 quarter. Gross
margins expanded 455 bps to 59.3%, 184 bps ahead of our expectation and an all-time high.
Even as part of the GM expansion was optical on account of GST-related accounting changes,
we believe these reflect improvement in mix within as well as across segments. EBITDA for the
quarter stood at `6.45 bn, +46% yoy and 4% above our estimate.
EBITDA margin stood at 24.1%, +551 bps yoy and 109 bps ahead of our Street-high expectation.
Staff and other expenses increased by 13% and 8%, respectively. Nestle does not disclose
adspends on a quarterly basis but we believe the company is reinvesting a decent portion of
gross margin expansion behind the brands. Recurring PAT grew 50% yoy to `3.95 bn, 5%
ahead of expectation. Fixed asset impairment charges and provision for contingencies (both
extremely volatile and tough-to-forecast numbers on quarterly basis) were both higher than our
estimate. PAT, ex these charges, was 9% ahead of our estimate. EPS stood at `41/share taking
1HCY18 EPS to `85/share.
Base-adjusted 2-year CAGRs healthy; reflect solid underlying business momentum
Even as Nestle’s base was not as favorable as some of its peers, it was favorable nonetheless.
EBITDA and PAT had declined 6% and 3% yoy, respectively in the base quarter. For 2QCY18,
2-year CAGRs on revenues, EBITDA and recurring PAT stood at 10%, 17% and 21%,
respectively. These are easily among the best 2-year comps we have seen in the sector so far
and generate good confidence on our prognosis of the business being in a fairly healthy shape.
Retain ADD; revise target price to `11,000/share
We have tweaked our margin assumptions a tad driving a 1-4% increase in CY2018-20E EPS
forecasts. Our DCF-based fair value target (baking in around 10% FCF CAGR through CY2040,
TG of 6% and WACC of 10.2%) stands revised to `11,000/share (from `9,500). We retain ADD
rating. Strong performance in the past 12 months (stock up nearly 60%) does not leave much
upside on the table, however. We would accumulate on dips.
Nestle India (NEST) Consumer Products
Strong momentum sustains. Nestle reported another solid quarter with underlying
domestic sales growth of 14.5%, EBITDA growth of 46%, and recurring PAT growth of
50% yoy. Two-year CAGRs were strong as well. Even as yoy comps are likely to
moderate from here as the base catches up, we like the shape the business is in. The
company’s renewed volume focus is yielding good dividend. We raise our CY2018-20E
EPS forecast by 1-4% and fair value target to `11,000 (from `9,500). ADD stays.

An in-line-with-consensus quarter or a miss?
We note that our estimates for TTAN, especially for the jewelry segment, were materially higher
than consensus as we had published the same before the company released its post-quarter-
pre-earnings update. Consensus estimates were built on the toned-down management
commentary and hence, the deviation versus consensus estimates is likely different from the
deviation versus ours. That said, the important aspect to appreciate is that 1QFY19 earnings
print, but for the adjustments made to published 1QFY19 forecasts by the Street, were weaker
than expectations. TTAN management also indicated that 1QFY19 jewelry revenues were short
of its own internal targets and revised down its FY2019E jewelry revenue growth guidance to
the extent of 1QFY19 miss.
Underlying financials weaker than reported, adjusted for watches primary sales boost
TTAN reported standalone revenues of `43.19 bn for 1QFY19, +8% yoy and 6% below our
estimates. EBITDA for the quarter stood at `4.95 bn, +27% yoy but again 6% below our
estimate. EBITDA margin of 11.5% was marginally ahead of our estimated 11.4%. Recurring
PAT stood at `3.49 bn, +26% yoy and 5% below our estimate. Other income was materially
ahead of estimate on account of higher average cash balance as the company cut down in-
store jewelry inventory sharply. ETR stood at 28.3%.
Segmental financials – jewelry below estimate, watch segment surprises
Jewelry revenues grew 6% yoy to `35.72 bn, 8% below our forecast. The slack was picked up
to some extent by watches (+15% yoy, 8% above estimate) and eyewear (+16% yoy, 8%
above estimate). Jewelry EBIT grew 16% yoy to `3.93 bn missing our estimate by 14%.
Watches segment picked up the slack here too growing a strong 128% yoy, 50% above our
estimate. Watches segment performance was boosted by higher-than-normal primary sales
towards the end of the quarter in anticipation of upcoming activation. Retail sales were much
lower. On the jewelry front, gold tonnage declined 2.6% yoy, first decline in seven quarters.
Growth in jewelry segment was driven by gold price inflation and higher studded sales.
Customer base for the jewelry segment was flattish reflecting poor industry growth.
Titan Company (TTAN) Consumer Products
Watches pick up the jewelry slack. TTAN’s 1QFY19 earnings print was a mixed bag;
the jewelry segment underperformed the Street’s expectations (before the company’s
post-quarter-pre-earnings update) as well as the management’s own internal targets.
The slack was picked up partly by primary sales boost in the watches segment.
Management toned down its FY2019E jewelry sales growth target to the extent of
1QFY19 miss. There was enough in the earnings call to sustain the strong narrative,
however. We tweak estimates a tad and retain SELL. TP raised to `840 (from `800).

A good narrative but not without risks; bullish case priced in. We remain cautious
We like the narrative for TTAN; demonetization and GST have given the company a multi-
year market share gain opportunity as unbranded jewelry segment struggles. Management’s
five-year growth outlook (2.5X jewelry sales in FY2023E versus FY2018) reflects the
narrative. Our model bakes in similar levels of growth. Our discomfort on the stock is on two
counts, related to each other perhaps – (a) there is little appreciation for risks to the
narrative; to be sure, no material risk is visible at this point. However, weaker-than-expected
industry growth, a sharp fall or a sharp rise in gold price (both not good for demand), any
increase in GST rate (jewelry is a luxury good, after all), the unbranded players finding a way
to revive their competitiveness, etc. are all potential risks, and (b) rich valuations which as we
said is related to the Street’s ‘upside-a-given, risks-not-even-an-afterthought’ construct for
the stock (and the sector in general). We remain cautious and retain our SELL rating. Our
forecasts see some minor tweaks and we raise our fair value target to `840 (from `800).
Conference call highlights
Jewelry segment. Jewelry business reported muted 6% yoy growth in revenues to
`35.7 bn. Per management, industry declined 10-25% yoy and Titan gained market share
in line with expectations even as reported growth was 10 percent points below internal
expectations. Weakness was partly due lower than usual number of wedding days.
Additionally, base quarter revenues were higher by about `2.5 bn due to advancement of
sales ahead of GST implementation in the month of June 2018. Segmental EBIT grew
16% yoy to `3.94 bn (14% below our estimate) on 100 bps yoy jump in EBIT margin to
11% aided by better studded share, better mix overall and tight cost control.
Management highlighted – (1) growth in the month of July was 70% yoy+ partly aided
by weak base, (2) gold procurement through exchange stood at 43% (versus 40% in
1QFY18), (3) 1Q revenues missed company’s expectation by about 10% (or `3.2 bn); the
company reduced its revenue guidance for FY2019 to the extent of this 1Q miss of `3.2 bn,
(4) Jewelry inventory reduced by `4.5 bn sequentially due to rationalization of in-store
inventory levels.
Watches. Watches posted a good quarter with 15% yoy growth in revenues to `5.9 bn.
Growth was partly boosted by stocking up ahead of rollout of schemes. Retail sales of
world of Titan were muted at 3% yoy on account of activation phasing. Margin
expansion of 930 bps to 18.8% was driven by a number of factors (1) product mix. Titan
watches reported disproportionate growth on stocking up ahead of schemes. It was key
contributor of margin expansion and is not sustainable, (2) Ecommerce segment is
growing faster and profitability is higher on this channel for Titan. This trend can sustain,
(3) cost control measures taken by the company and (4) non-recurrence of business
conference expense of `110 mn. The management expects full year EBIT margin in
double digits.
Eyewear. Eyewear segment reported overall revenue growth of 19% and like-to-like
growth of 8%. Sunglasses category grew 44% yoy on weak base. The company had
2.4 mn customers last year and it is targeting 3.7 mn this year.
Other takeaways. (1) The company added 44 stores with retail space of 44,000 sq. ft in
1QFY19 (across formats) and (2) depreciation increased due to shift of corporate office to
own premise from rented space and accelerated depreciation of furniture and fixtures.
1QFY19 depreciation is the new base going forward.

1QFY19 – in-line headline print but subpar internals
MRCO’s largely in-line consolidated operating profit print for 1QFY19 hides what we see as
slightly weaker-than-expected internals. Lower-than-expected overheads aided in-line operating
profit delivery even as gross profit fell 6% short of estimates on account of material miss in
gross margins. In addition to the gross margin miss, we were also disappointed slightly with the
Parachute (rigids) volume growth print of 9%. We note that this 9% volume growth print was
on a -9% base. On the positive side, Saffola volume growth of 10% was materially above
expectation; we do note that the management stopped short of calling Saffola revival complete.
Consolidated revenues, EBITDA and recurring PAT grew +21% yoy (1% above), +9% yoy
(2% below) and +10% yoy (6% below), respectively. Gross margins declined 554 bps yoy while
EBITDA margin decline was restricted to 183 bps yoy. ETR stood at 26%. EBITDA and PAT were
both lower than 1QFY17 levels.
Standalone revenues, EBITDA and recurring PAT grew 23% yoy (3% above), +9% yoy
(4% below) and +9% yoy (3% below), respectively. Gross margins declined 611 bps yoy while
EBITDA margins declined 202 bps as the company kept overhead costs in control. Importantly,
adspends were flat yoy on a reported basis and up only 9% on a GST-adjusted basis. We note
that several peers have stepped up adspends quite meaningfully in 1QFY19. EBITDA and PAT
were both lower than 1QFY17 levels for the standalone business as well.
Segmental performance – a mixed bag, again
Parachute (rigids) volume growth of 9% yoy disappointed a tad, coming off a weak -9% base.
VAHO volume growth was in line at 15% (-14% base). Saffola surprised with 10% yoy volume
growth while other segments in India posted broadly in-line and healthy-off-a-low-base growth
comps. Revenue surprise, both consol and standalone, was driven by higher-than-expected
realization growth in Parachute.
Stay constructive; see earnings growth acceleration ahead
We expect earnings growth acceleration from 2HFY19 onwards on the back of improving
underlying demand environment. Copra prices remain a risk but historical trends suggest
favorable movement from here. Raise TP to `375 (from `345). ADD stays.
Marico (MRCO) Consumer Products
1Q a mixed bag; prognosis promising. MRCO’s earnings continue to be impacted by
the high inflation in its RM basket. A reversal in copra (some moderation seen already;
decline trends expected to continue) is important for (a) better earnings growth delivery
and (b) the company to step up adspends that is now tracking contra to competition.
Underlying demand environment is supportive of management’s confident stance on
volumes. We stay constructive and raise our fair value target to `375 (from `345). ADD.

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates
Key segmental highlights and takeaways from the earnings call
Rural growth outperforms urban growth. Marico’s rural growth continued to outpace
urban growth in 1QFY19 – rural grew 28% yoy while urban sales grew by 16% in value
terms. MT (11% of turnover) grew by 39% while CSD (7% of turnover) also recorded
strong growth of 15% yoy.
Parachute CNO. Parachute rigids posted a decent but slightly disappointing quarter –
volumes up 9% yoy, off a -9% base. Marico continued to gain market share (on a MAT
basis) in the coconut oil segment. In the medium term, the company expects to deliver 5-
7% volume CAGR (guidance unchanged). Value growth in Parachute rigids was at 38%
yoy. Management explained that they operate in a band of gross margin per unit rather
than % margins. Also, they will continue to focus on franchise expansion as long as
absolute spreads remain within a band.
Saffola. Saffola reported volume growth of 10% yoy (9% growth in value terms) after a
weak performance in FY2018. Management highlighted that the challenges for the brand
are still not completely over. While they have taken actions on promotional packs and
modern trade channel for the brand, work remains to be done to fix issues in urban
general trade. Intense competition continues in the segment and the company is taking
measures to differentiate its communication. They have upped media investments behind
the brand in the quarter. Management expects a healthy growth trajectory for Saffola
over the next 2-3 quarters and expects double-digit growth in the medium term.
Other food brands – the healthy foods franchise grew 23% in value terms during the
quarter. Saffola Masala Oats maintained it momentum and consolidated its value share to
69% (June, 2018 MAT) in flavored oats category. Marico has prototyped Saffola Masala
Oats with Multigrain Crunchies and have also launched two new variants of Lemony
Twist and Mint Chutney. With current vending machine network of 200, management
believes that this initiative drives consumer trials and repeats. They continue to guide that
they are aiming to grow the business first to `2 bn by next year (achieve a critical mass)
and will then chalk out a future strategy.
Value added hair oils. Domestic VAHO portfolio grew 15% in volume terms and 12%
in value terms. Going forward, the company targets double-digit volume growth in
VAHO. They also aim to defend both their volume and value market share in the
segment. For fueling growth in the segment, Marico has launched `10 packs of several of
its hair oil brands like Parachute Jasmine, Nihar Jasmine and Sarson. They would also
target to grow premium end of its portfolio like Aloe Vera to negate any likely negative
impact on margins.

Youth brands. Male grooming portfolio grew 44% yoy in value terms during the
quarter. Given the strong response to its pocket spray, company plans to extend it to
beyond the initial launch markets. They have also launched its first exclusively digital
brand – Set Wet Studio X – introducing products across seven categories such as
Shampoo, Bodywash, Facewash, etc. Company seeks to build a consistent value growth
trajectory of 20%+ in the category in the medium term.
International business. Marico’s international business posted 7% yoy growth in c/c
terms (volume growth of 3% yoy and reported growth of 9% yoy).
Bangladesh (45% of turnover) posted 9% c/c growth in revenues despite flat
volumes. Parachute CNO posted a flattish quarter (maintaining leadership position
with ~87% market share) and non-CNO portfolio grew by 50% in c/c terms.
Management continued to highlight that they continue to focus on expanding their
product base in the country. Saffola Edible Oil and Set Wet Gels responded well in the
quarter.
MENA (14% of turnover) posted strong 17% c/c growth, largely volume-driven. This
was on the back of good growth in both Egypt and the Middle East businesses.
However, the management indicated that there could be some concerns in the region
in the medium term given the tough macros in the region.
Others – (1) SE Asia (26% of turnover) remained muted in c/c revenue terms. Weak
performance in the foods business dragged overall performance of Vietnam. The
bright spot in its Vietnam performance was the male shampoos, which grew at 9% in
constant-currency terms. Management has taken definitive steps to correct its GTM
strategy. Myanmar business was impacted by supply constraints. However, the near
term prospects in the country remains strong. (2) South Africa (9% of turnover)
registered 7% c/c growth aided by good progress in Isoplus.

Sales momentum moderated in 1QFY19, equity issuance helped overall cash flows
Collections for 1QFY19 stood at Rs11.3 bn though total sales at Rs8.2 bn, were below the
average quarterly run-rate of Rs12,700 mn seen in FY2018. Bulk of the sales (64%) were
reported from four new launches (of which two projects under DM model) in Mumbai, Pune
and Delhi NCR. With total area sold during the quarter at 1.17 mn sq. ft, avg. realizations
declined to Rs6,672/sq. ft. Overall net operating cash flows were negative at Rs1.6 bn. During
the quarter GPL raised Rs10 bn selling 5.6% of its stake to GIC. With this equity issuance, the
company’s net debt/equity ratio improved to 0.7 (1.9 till March 2018) providing significant
headroom for new business development opportunities as current borrowing cost remains low
at 7.86%.
More launches in the pipeline; however GPL’s share continues to remain low
As per the management, nine new term sheets have been signed in this quarter with most of
them likely to see launches in this financial year. Of these nine projects signed, three are under
the JV/DM model with two being in NCR and remaining one in Thane. We highlight that
Godrej’s economic interest in JV project format has traditionally remained low. In order to
improve construction timelines, the company has set up a precast plant in Greater Noida. The
plant has a capacity to construct 0.5 mn sq. ft per annum.
Lower attributable sales, rich valuations
GPL is recovering operations with the help of favorable project structures, concentrated market
approach and strong pre-sales. We expect GPL to continue generating positive cash flow from
operations. At 4.3X Mar’20 BV and with 50% of value for new projects and sales estimates
running beyond 10 mn sq. ft (modeled from FY2019), GPL continues to be expensive versus
sector peers. GPL’s business model on JVs and hence its reporting structure for financials is
complex.
Godrej Properties (GPL) Real Estate
Moderating momentum. Godrej Properties had moderating sales at Rs8.2 bn,
compared to quarterly sales of Rs11.3 bn clocked in FY2018. Cash collection remained
strong, even as cash flows were supported by Rs10 bn of equity raise during the
quarter. During the quarter GPL launched four new projects that accounted for the bulk
of the sale activity, even as the team prepares to launch nine more projects during the
current fiscal. Strong launch pipeline and improving cash generation are already
factored in the rich valuations. Maintain SELL with TP of Rs400/share.

sync with 13% growth in topline. EBITDA margin at 9.4% was flat yoy despite the sharp
decline in T&D revenues. Essentially KEC leveraged uptick in margin across segments and
benefits of cost control.
Interest cost grew 9% yoy, slower than the revenue growth despite a worsening working
capital, reduction in share of overseas in debt and higher interest cost. Working capital
excluding acceptances was impacted by higher inventories (to correct incrementally) and lower
payables (to partly correct over time). Change in mix of debt was sharp from being largely
overseas to now becoming broadly equally split, in line with customer mix. The same has
happened due to RBI disallowing usage of short-term buyer’s credit on a rolling forward basis
to fund debt requirements. Interest rates have stiffened meaningfully over the past one year
both in India and overseas (unlikely to change in the near term).
Higher other income (interest on tax refunds) and forex gains (Rs150-200 mn) more than
compensated for the higher-than-expected interest cost, yielding a large outperformance versus
our estimates. Adjusted for both these items, there was a modest 1%/3%/5% miss on
revenues/EBITDA/PAT for 1QFY19.
Retains guidance on revenues and margin; tightens guidance on interest cost and order inflows
KEC expects revenue growth to strengthen from expected improvement in T&D revenues and
strong growth across other business segments. On margin, it retained guidance of 10%
(conservative in our view) while suggesting limited cost pressures and potential benefit of recent
commodity price correction. KEC, however, does not envisage any improvement in interest cost
as share of revenues (from 1Q level) and hinted at a modest growth expectation in order
inflows (expects order backlog to grow in sync or better than revenue growth).
Cut estimates by 4-8% on deferral of deleveraging and lower growth in orders
We align interest cost estimate in line with revised guidance of the flattish yoy share of sales,
deferring recovery by a year. We also reduce order inflow growth estimate for FY2019 to 6%
(7% cut) based on flattish 1QFY19 ordering. This yields a revised TP of Rs410 on roll-forward.
BUY.
KEC International (KECI) Industrials
Telling quarter. 1QFY19 reaffirmed the resilience of the KEC EPC business as it
reported (1) steady margin despite sharp decline in T&D revenues and (2) a steady
interest cost to sales ratio despite a hit on interest rate, payables and inventory. We
defer the benefits of deleveraging for KEC by a year and moderate growth assumptions
for order inflows given a weak start to the year; cut TP to Rs410 (from Rs430).

Takeaways from the conference call
KEC saw a marked deterioration in working capital, part of which is transitory. The
payables went down given high starting point and inability of vendors to operate at such
starting point due to tight liquidity conditions. Acceptances went down due to RBI
disallowing the practice of rolling over debt for the international business. KEC used to
avail low cost buyer’s credit and then use the same on a roll-over basis to fund
international debt. Thirdly inventories went up to safety stock of copper and steel to
cushion against scenario of limited availability of these inputs. Receivables were also
marginally impacted by delay in receiving money from contracts in Saudi Arabia. The
increase in working capital and the increase in interest cost (both domestic and overseas)
negated any gains natural deleveraging of a high-return EPC business growing at a steady
rate.

KEC International Industrials
KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 29
Despite a sharp decline in T&D revenues, the company was able to report healthy EBITDA
margin of 9.3% (adjusted for forex gain). The same was attributed to (1) improved
margin in T&D, (2) improvement in margin for civil/cables/railways businesses and (2) cost-
control measures.
Order inflows were weak in the first quarter largely on a decline in T&D order inflows.
The company is confident of the order inflows picking up on the back of a large L1
position of Rs31.75 bn. This includes Rs10 bn of PGCIL orders and a couple of large
railways orders. It remains positive on ordering from India (green energy corridor, SEB,
TBCB orders, railways electrification). It expects Rs50 bn of tenders in T&D in 2QFY19.
KEC has maintained its guidance of 10% EBITDA margin and of a 15% revenue growth.
It is limited cost pressures and support in form of currency from here. It also such expects
some benefit on the commodity price front if order won recently (at higher commodity
cost estimate) were to be awarded now. On the interest cost, it has changed its guidance
to a flattish interest cost to sales ratio on a yoy basis versus its earlier expectation of a
modest improvement. Also on the order inflow front, it is now guiding for at least
growing order backlog in line with sales.

ARV strong; ingredients and synthesis drive a miss
Laurus’ 4QFY18 revenues were 7% higher than our expectations, led by strong performance in
the ARV segment (+28% vs KIE), and synthesis (+2% vs KIE). However, other segments
disappointed with Hep-C down 69% yoy (-36% vs KIE). Other APIs declined 45% yoy (-55% vs
KIE), largely due to customer delays, which will likely be recovered from 2QFY19 onwards.
However, gross margins declined by 300 bps qoq, down to 45.2%, fully explained by `150-160
mn impact due to China raw material price hikes, with emtricitabine and lamivudine
intermediates witnessing 80% price hike. `50 mn forex loss further exacerbated the impact on
EBITDA margins, which declined to 14.9%, down 590 bps qoq (-380 bps vs KIE). We expect the
company to be able to partially offset the China impact in 2QFY19, which will still have partial
sourcing from China (50% dependency) and expect it to be able to fully offset the impact from
3QFY19, largely through alternate sourcing and backward integration. Only a small benefit
from price hikes is expected as a significant portion of its ARV supplies are locked in fixed-price
contracts. Given lower other income, the miss on PAT was higher at 47%.
Evolving business mix to drive revenues and margin growth over FY2019-20E
Laurus presents a unique business model offering a hybrid of rapidly growing synthesis
business, an emerging formulations business along with a steady ARV business. While the
recent quarters have seen delays to the strategy on account of Hep-C declines and China cost
push, we expect ARV revenues to continue to grow in high single digit over the next two years
with increasing contribution from EU/US formulations, first supplies to ARV tenders in LMIC
countries, as well as LMV/RTV API supplies from 2QFY19. This, along with strong scale-up of
the synthesis business, particularly for Aspen and C2 Pharma, will likely drive profitability. Laurus
has filed a total of 13 ANDAs, and is targeting 10 more ANDA filings in FY2019, with tenofovir
having been launched in 4QFY18 (`51 mn revenues in 1QFY19) and three other ANDAs
expected to be launched in FY2019. Over the past three years, Laurus has made meaningful
investments in capacities with gross block of `8 bn yet to generate revenues (units 2, 4, 5 and
6) with operating costs of `1.4 bn in FY2018 (`274 mn in 1QFY19), including its formulations
investments, which we expect to break even only in FY2020 (FY2018 loss of ~`1 bn). Laurus
has now received approval for its TLD combination and we expect it to enter the LMIC tender
market from 3QFY19, with ramp-up in FY2020, once TLE, TLE400 and TEE formulations are
approved in key markets.
Reasonable valuations to help minimize the impact of earnings cut – ADD
Our FY2019E EBITDA stands reduced by 10% given the China impact, though the hit on EPS is
significant with FY2019 estimates down 25%. We also cut our FY2020/21E EBITDA by 5-6%,
and EPS by ~14%. We cut our target price to `500 (vs `540 earlier), ~16X June 2020E EPS.
Laurus Labs (LAURUS) Pharmaceuticals
China cost push hurts performance. Laurus’ 4QFY18 revenues were 7% higher than
our expectations, led by the ARV segment. However, EBITDA missed our estimates by
14%, due to a combination of (1) `150-160 mn gross profit compression due to >80%
price hikes for 2 key ARV intermediates sourced from China and (2) `54 mn forex loss.
We expect the China cost push impact to persist until 3QFY19E. We cut our FY2019E EPS
by 25% and FY2020-21E EPS by ~14% each; cut TP to `500 (from `540 earlier).

Earnings weak due to flat volumes, cost increases and muted realizations
JKLC reported a weak quarter as EBITDA declined 22% yoy to Rs939 mn (-7% qoq) and net-
income declined 51% yoy to Rs138 mn (-51% yoy, -59% qoq)—earnings though weak were
higher than our estimate (KIE EBITDA: Rs769 mn) led by better-than-expected realizations. The
company’s volumes were flat yoy at 2.3 mn tons (-1% qoq) largely due to lower non-trade
sales. The management highlighted that some of the non-trade sales were not profitable due to
lower prices and the company decided to exit those sales—there is a pricing differential of
Rs25-30/bag between trade and non-trade but for a few deals it was as high as Rs50-55/bag.
JKLC’s EBITDA/ton declined 7% qoq to Rs410 (-22% yoy) led by cost increases and muted
realizations. The company’s FoR sales increased during the quarter resulting in optically high
realizations and freights costs—realization improved 4% qoq to Rs4,038/ton (+2% yoy) and
freight costs increased to Rs1,074/ton (+15% yoy, +4% qoq). The higher FoR sales enables
buyers to claim input GST credit on freight costs as well. On costs, (1) the lead distance declined
by 20 to 25 kms which saved Rs40/ton, but diesel cost increase offset these benefit, (2) power
and fuel costs rose 12% yoy to Rs940 (-1% qoq).
Limited capex for next couple of year and focus shifts to de-lever the balance sheet
JKLC will spend close to Rs1 bn only in capex for the next two years as ongoing projects are
limited to completion of 20 MW power plant commissioning at Durg, and (2) Odisha grinding
unit. The company has a longer term plan for 7 mtpa brownfield expansion but will take a call
on these projects based on improvement in demand in key markets. The company will take a
pause from new projects for 12-18 months and cash flows will be used to deleverage. The key
focus areas for the next two years will include (1) stabilization of Udaipur Cement Works were
costs are higher due to lower efficiencies, and (2) ramp-up of existing facilities, especially in
east.
We cut target price to Rs370 (Rs425 earlier) and maintain ADD rating
We cut our target price to Rs370 (from Rs425 earlier) due to the 9-13% cut in our EBITDA
estimates on lower volumes, realization assumption. Our positive view on the stock is led by
(1) improvement in the company’s balance sheet post large capex cycle aided by stabilization of
capacities and limited sustenance capex, (2) Udaipur Cement Works, which will see earnings
improvement and is loss making now, and (3) its large presence in North, East markets where
we believe prices can improve led by higher utilization. The stock trades at 10X/6.6X
FY2019/2020E EBITDA. We maintain our ADD rating.
JK Lakshmi Cement (JKLC) Cement
Volumes disappoint. JK Lakshmi reported flat volumes (2.3 mn tons, -1% qoq) on the
back of lower non-trade sales. The price fall for certain sales mix in the non-trade
segment led to the company restricting its sales volume since February 2018—this
increased the trade sales mix to 54% (50% in last quarter). The company has a large
presence in the North, East markets where we expect prices to improve led by higher
industry utilization rates. The company’s focus will be on improved asset sweating, cost
efficiencies and deleveraging. Maintain ADD and revise TP to Rs370 (Rs425 earlier).

Changes in our estimates
Exhibit 5 highlights key changes in our estimates.
We cut our standalone volume estimates by 2% to 9.1 mn tons, 9.7 mn tons and 10.4 mn
tons for FY2019E, FY2020E and FY2021E. We cut our cement realization assumption by 1-
2% due to pricing weakness in the company’s key markets and non-trade segment. We
estimate cement realizations at Rs4,137/ton, Rs4,397/ton and Rs4,537/ton for FY2019E,
FY2020E and FY2021E.
Overall, we cut our EBITDA/ton estimate by 7-14% to Rs567, Rs742 and Rs785 for FY2019E,
FY2020E and FY2021E.The net effect is a cut in our consolidated EBITDA estimate by 9-13%
to Rs5.6 bn, Rs8.1 bn and Rs9.1 bn for FY2019E, FY2020E and FY2021E. We estimate
consolidated EPS of Rs11.3, Rs28.1 and Rs36.7 for FY2019E, FY2020E and FY2021E.

Other highlights, key takeaways from the earnings call
Subdued volumes due to lower sales by company in non-trade segment. JK
Lakshmi’s sales volume was flat yoy at 2.3 mn tons; sales volumes included clinker sales
of 0.28 mn tons. Sales volumes were weak due to lower sales to non-trade segment due
to lower prices—as per the company, prices in some cases are at a five year low. The
management stated that they sacrificed on volumes to improve overall profitability—now
the focus is only on profitable non-trade volumes.
The trade sales mix improved to 54% in 1QFY19 from 50% earlier. We highlight that
management earlier stated that demand from non-trade segment was strong but price
fell sharply in February 2018. The usual pricing differential in non-trade segment is close
to Rs25-30/bag (but costs are low as well) and this widened to as high as Rs50-55/bag on
the sales that the company missed.
Udaipur Cement Works—expect improvement from cost efficiencies. UCWL is
operating at close to 80% utilization and earned EBITDA/ton of Rs200 in 1QFY19. The
profitability of this unit will improve aided by improvement in cost efficiencies. The
management highlighted that there is no pricing difference between realizations with
parent.
Fuel costs increase due to higher pet-coke prices. JK Lakshmi uses 81% pet-coke in
northern plants—other fuel mix includes 13% coal and balance 6% other fuel sources.
The pet-coke costs increased to Rs8,100/ton (from Rs6,400/ton in 1QFY18 & Rs7,500/ton
in 4QFY18) resulting in an increase in fuel costs. Power & fuel costs (on per ton basis)
increased 12% yoy to Rs940, but were steady qoq. The company highlighted also that
power consumption dropped to 67 kwh/ton in 1QFY19 from 72 kwh/ton in 1QFY18.
Lead distance also improved by 20-25 kms which led to cost savings of Rs40/ton.
However, freight costs still increased due to an increase in diesel costs (as well as higher
FoR sales).
Capex guidance at Rs1 bn. The management expects capex of Rs1 bn each for the next
two years for completion of thermal power plant in Durg, Odisha grinding unit and
sustenance capex. Management highlighted that it will take a pause for the next 12-18
months from new projects and will prioritize stabilizing newly commissioned projects and
use cash flows to deleverage.
Sales of premium cement. The sales of premium cement are close to 20% for trade
segment—it works to only 12-14% on including non-trade sales.

1QFY19— print ad revenue growth continues to disappoint; cost optimization in play
Jagran reported 0.5% yoy decline in print ad revenues (KIE +2%). Circulation revenues grew at
a modest 1% yoy partly due to pressure in Bihar given the rise in competitive intensity. Radio
revenue growth of 7.7% yoy (KIE 12%) was a tad disappointing in view of some benefit from
the new stations. Digital ad revenues grew 24% yoy to Rs96 mn. EBITDA at Rs1.6 bn (+1.4%
yoy) was 3.5% above our estimate due to lower than estimated RM and other costs. We note
that the price of imported newsprint has shot up 30-35% (domestic newsprint is pegged
against landed cost of imported newsprint). Jagran's profitability was protected in 1QFY19 by
low-cost inventory; about 3.3% growth in RM costs was due to 8-9% increase in newsprint
price partly offset by 4-5% drop in consumption (reduction in copies and pagination tweaks).
Full impact of newsprint price inflation will be felt starting 2QFY19; the management has
guided for 13% increase in newsprint costs for FY2019 (18% inflation of which 5% will be
offset by lower consumption). Net profit declined by 1.4% yoy to Rs854 mn.
No visibility on sustainable recovery in print ad environment as yet
Even as we have been underweight on regional print since July 2016, print ad growth has
decelerated sharper than our expectations due to (1) impact of demonetization/GST on
local/retail advertising, (2) weak rural consumption, (3) challenged categories such as real estate,
education and government, and (4) share loss to other mediums. Some of these drags are
cyclical and some structural (digital disruption); it is difficult to gauge the impact of cyclical
versus structural. 2HFY19 would be a better year for print advertising on high political and
government ad spends ahead of the elections. For a clearer view on sustainable print ad growth,
one will have to wait till FY2020. There is no visibility on cyclical recovery as yet in our view.
Inexpensive valuations offer trade; we stay cautious till we see signs of sustainable improvement
Jagran’s stock has corrected 27% over the past three months and is trading at 10X FY2020E
earnings and 6% dividend yield. Election-led pick-up in print ad environment in 2HFY19 can
drive some stock performance from current levels. We recommend investors to pass this ‘trade
opportunity’ and stay cautious till there is visibility on sustainable improvement in print ad
environment and/or reversal in newsprint prices.
Jagran Prakashan (JAGP) Media
Inexpensive valuations but triggers missing. Jagran’s print ad revenues were flat yoy
against our modest expectation of 2% growth. Even as we have been cautious on print
media since July 2016, print ad growth deceleration has been sharper than our
expectation. Any election-led uptick in 2HFY19E would not enthuse us. We prefer to
stay cautious till there is a decisive improvement in print ad outlook or a sharp drop in
newsprint prices. We cut FY2019-20E EPS by 12-14% and TP to Rs131 (from Rs168
earlier) valuing Jagran at 11X FY2020E earnings (12X earlier). REDUCE.

1QFY19 results – disappointing on non-M&M growth, commendable performance on margin
Mahindra Logistics reported 1QFY19 revenues of Rs9.2 bn, up 9% yoy and 9% below estimates
due to weak 6% growth in non-M&M SCM. Non-M&M SCM transportation was flat yoy. There
were several reasons for such weakness such as (1) slow progress by clients on supply chain
redesign post GST, (2) difficulty in technological integration with clients, (3) specific issue with
large clients such as business stagnation and reduced transportation lead distance and (4)
pricing pressure from startups leading MLL to forgo some business to protect profitability. The
key positive was a strong 27% growth in warehousing and other value-added activities as well
as operational efficiency improvement that lifted adjusted EBITDA margin to 4.4%, up 80 bps
yoy, completely negating the impact of topline miss. Below-EBITDA items were in line and thus
the adjusted PAT came out to Rs240 mn, up 36% yoy, 1% above estimates.
Reality sets in; time to accept delays and tone down near-term growth expectations
Fundamentally Mahindra Logistics remains a strong structural play on penetration of 3rd
party
logistics (3PL) with key levers in GST, e-way bill, infrastructure status to logistics and increased
government focus on the sector. However, 1QFY19 provided a window into several factors that
will keep the pace of 3PL penetration slow, at least initially for the next 12-18 months. These
factors range from corporate anxiety on policy changes leading to a ‘wait-and-watch’ approach,
and resistance by transporters to formalization, to practical aspects such as difficulty in
integration of IT systems with clients. We thus tone down our growth expectations in the near
term. While growth was weak in the quarter, MLL has maintained a steady focus on
profitability, with operational efficiency measures and increased warehousing revenues pushing
up margins.
Rich valuations lead us to downgrade to REDUCE despite better margin and EPS estimates
We defer our growth expectations by ~18 months but expect a ‘catch-up’ happening in
FY2020/21. Sustainable margin improvement through operational efficiency measures and
strong warehousing growth lead to a net 10-11% increase in EPS estimates. Based on annual
report 2018, we model higher working capital for non-M&M. Revised one-year forward target
price stands at Rs565 (Rs540 previously). Rich valuations force us to downgrade to REDUCE.
Mahindra Logistics (MAHLOG) Infrastructure
Transient troubles, rich valuations. 1QFY19 results highlighted structural (slow
decision-making, resistance to tax compliance) and practical (technology integration)
issues with various participants in the logistics value chain. These are, however,
transient issues in our view. What’s commendable is MLL’s margin performance
through operational efficiency and focus on warehousing/value-adding activities. On a
net basis, EPS estimates increase by ~10-11% as topline growth plays ‘catch-up’ along
with higher margin in FY2020/21. Rich valuations force us to downgrade the stock to
REDUCE (from BUY) with a revised target price of Rs565/share (Rs540 previously).

1QFY19 earnings call takeaways
Several reasons for weak non-M&M SCM growth. The company surprised negatively
on revenue growth in 1QFY19, especially posting a weak 6% yoy growth in non-M&M
revenues and even lower performance with flat transportation business which constituted
76% of non-M&M SCM business. The management mentioned several reasons for this
underperformance as follows:
GST and e-way bill. Corporates are still grappling with GST and relatively nascent e-
way bill. The supply chain redesign, warehouse consolidation and other GST-related
changes to the logistics chain are taking place slower than expected. As a result, new
business acquisition has taken a hit in the quarter and will see only a slow pickup.
Technological integration. The management acknowledged that the challenges with
technological integration were perhaps underestimated. The company is pushing
clients for technological integration with MLL’s systems as it will not only improve the
scope and level of service offered by MLL but will also increase switching cost for
customer and will lead to more sticky, profitable business for MLL. However,
interfacing with client systems, some of which are foreign companies and
technologies, has proven harder than expected and has affected business growth in
1QFY19.
Specific customer issues. The management mentioned that in the transportation
business, one large customer faced stagnation in the quarter reducing the logistics
business for MLL. Another customer undertook a restructuring of its distribution
strategy due to which the average lead distance for material transportation came out
much shorter than earlier, thereby impacting the topline. Barring these specific clients,
the growth for the rest of the non-M&M clients was faster than the industry according
to the management.
Pricing pressure from startups. According to the management, some startups tried
to undercut MLL on some vanilla pure transportation contracts. As per MLL’s
assessment, this is a bane of the startup ecosystem where investor funding and
valuation is available at a multiple of the revenue growth. The founders of such startup
then chase topline without paying any attention to profitability. MLL decided to favor
profitability over growth and thus let go of some contracts instead of sacrificing
profitability. According to the company’s past experience, such contracts are not
sustainable as the transporter may not be able to perform the contracted duties at the
aggressive prices quoted and the customer may thus return to MLL’s fold after a while.
Guidance for FY2019. For FY2019, the management has guided for M&M SCM growth
in line with the parent’s growth, non-M&M SCM growth faster than the expected
industry growth of 10-15% and 50 bps of margin improvement. The company also
envisages 10-15% growth for PTS segment in FY2019 on the back of new technology
deployment and rollout in 2QFY19 with help from a logistics sector startup. MLL has
planned a capex of Rs200-250 mn for FY2019 which will be spent on technology and
material handling equipment. Warehousing and non-transport value adding activities will
be the focus area for MLL going forward. The company’s Gurgaon warehouse has
reached optimum utilization whereas Chakan warehouse is still ramping up and may
support both growth and margin in FY2019. MLL is also planning to set up new
warehouses at Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai. The management expects free cash flow
(FCF) to turn positive in FY2019.
New customer acquisitions. The company has won the contract to set up regional
distribution center for L’Oreal catering to NCR region. The company already provides
distribution service to Mumbai region from its Chakan facilities. It has also received line-
feed contracts for 2 manufacturing plants of an FMCG player adding to the list of 40
Mahindra Logistics Infrastructure
KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 53
manufacturing plants across India where MLL handles line-feed for various clients. From
the industry perspective, the company expects automotive and consumer goods industries
to grow strongly, especially in rural India, on the back of third consecutive year of normal
monsoon and improving sentiment. E-commerce clients will continue to put pricing
pressure on MLL as they undertake cost control efforts.
Key priorities for MLL remain intact. Key priorities for MLL are three fold:
Building strong client relationships. MLL has continued client engagement to
deepen the business relationships and has been able to achieve a 92% retention rate
among the top-20 customers.
Investing in technology. The company has created a new post and appointed a
digital transformation officer to push technology adoption. For PTS segment, the
company is also collaborating with a startup to deploy new technologies.
Improve business partner engagement. MLL had previously mentioned the cloud
platform for business partner onboarding. The company has also started a joint forum
with representatives of transporters to undertake mutually beneficial initiatives.
Other takeaways.
The company is facing some resistance from both clients and transporters on its
attempt to move to forward charge mechanism (FCM) under GST from currently
prevalent reverse charge mechanism (RCM). Some clients have enough input tax credit
and thus do not wish to pay higher GST under FCM whereas the resistance from
transporters is arising from their fear of coming into the GST net unlike RCM where
the client pays the indirect tax. The company has seen good success with clients as
90% of them have agreed to FCM while success rate with transporters has been
limited at 50% so far.
Given the prospective nature of the new axle load norms, the company sees limited
and slow benefits in terms of trucking capacity as new trucks with allowed higher axle
load limit get gradually pressed into service by transporters. Further, the usage of the
higher limit depends on the type of cargo carried. Low-density voluminous cargo may
anyway not be able reach even current axle load allowance. For high density cargo,
however, the company intends to take advantage of the new norms.
The company has decided to acquire additional 8.7% stake in its freight forwarding
subsidiary Lords for a sum of Rs19 mn. This will increase MLL’s shareholding to 68.7%.
The company has received tax refund of Rs177 mn including interest of Rs19 mn in
1QFY19. As per MLL’s petition to the assessing officer, the TDS rate on transportation
has been reduced to 1.04% (from 2% earlier) and that on warehousing, rental and
interest income has been reduced to 2.5% (vs 10% earlier). TDS reduction will prevent
further buildup of income tax assets and will help normalize the working capital.

Event— PVR’s deal renewal with BMS and Paytm
PVR has renewed its arrangements with bookmyshow (BMS) and Paytm for three years w.e.f.
July 15, 2018. As per the new agreement, BMS and Paytm will pay PVR an aggregate amount
of `4.1 bn (minimum guarantee+refundable deposit; `3.6 bn + `0.5 bn per KIE) for allowing
them to book PVR tickets. Of this amount, PVR will receive `3.5 bn upfront. At present, BMS
and Paytm charge a convenience fee of ~`30/ticket to consumers and pass on ~`14 to PVR.
PVR’s share would now increase to ~`22/ticket (KIE). In our view, BMS and Paytm’s rationale,
for offering a sweet deal to PVR, could be (1) high dependence on PVR, (2) monetization
potential (besides movie tickets) of PVR’s consumer base, (3) higher F&B sales through their
platform along with movie tickets booking. We note that PVR has a separate deal with these
platforms for F&B sales whereby PVR pays some commission on F&B sales that happen through
third-party platforms. As per this deal, PVR cannot sign up with any other third-party platform
but can continue ticket booking on its own website/app.
Implications: 5-7% EBITDA upgrade and reduction in net debt
While we were aware of the impending deal renewals with BMS and Paytm and we had built
some upside, we are positively surprised by the quantum. We increase our aggregate
convenience fee forecast for FY2019-21E by 45% to `3.9 bn (upside of `1.2 bn). Sample this,
PVR earned about `1.3 bn as convenience fees from third-party platforms over FY2015-18 and
it now has minimum guarantee of about `3.6 bn over the next three years from these two
platforms. In addition, we expect PVR to earn convenience fee of about `100 mn/year from its
own website/app. This deal renewal results in 5-7% upside to our FY2020E EBITDA and
reduction in net debt (`8 bn as at March 2018 end) thanks to an upfront advance of `3.5 bn.
We raise EBITDA estimates by 5-7%, TP to `1,360 ( from `1,210); Upgrade to BUY from ADD
That PVR could pull off such a sweet deal is a reflection of the scale and quality of its consumer
base. We are happy that the management has given due weightage to consumer goodwill and
swiftly rolled out price interventions to improve the price-value equation of its F&B offerings
(see Exhibit 5). We value PVR at 11X June 2020E EV/EBITDA, factoring in uncertainty in the F&B
business in view of pending PIL/government policy even as we believe that the outcome will be
benign relative to concerns.
PVR (PVRL) Media
A masterstroke. PVR has renewed its deals with bookmyshow (BMS) and Paytm for
three years for an aggregate amount of ~`4.1 bn (2.5-3X that earned over FY2015-18).
We raise our aggregate convenience fee forecast for FY2019-21E by 45% to `3.9 bn; it
results in 5-7% EBITDA upgrade. We like PVR’s swift rollout of offers to improve the
price-value equation of its F&B offerings. We value PVR at 11X June 2020E EV/EBITDA,
factoring in uncertainty in the F&B business even as we believe that the outcome will be
benign relative to concerns. Upgrade to BUY from ADD, revise TP to `1,360 (from
`1,210 earlier).

Retail continues to shine; corporate book reports high losses
A broadly unchanged trend has been noticed since FY2017: (1) retail continues to have another
strong year, delivering 33% yoy earnings growth; retail fees are >70% of the total fee income
of the bank, (2) losses increased in the corporate banking business, led by high provisions for
bad loans and weak NII growth, (3) capital market-related subsidiaries had another strong year
while housing finance business reported sharp decline in overall performance and
(4) international subsidiaries were mixed with Canada moving back to profits while UK reported
another year of loss led by high provisions for bad loans. The bank has made higher provisions
for its India exposure.
Asset quality concerns to significantly abate this year; early warning signals at lowest levels
There is evidence that FY2019 can be a year in which ICICI Bank gives investors greater comfort
on its impaired loan portfolio. 20 F filings have given the following insights: (1) sharp decline in
the ‘below investment grade’ portfolio (Exhibit 17), (2) higher share of this book is now
represented by net NPLs as compared to ‘watchlist’ in earlier years, (3) early warning indicators
suggest that the overall portfolio of 31-60 days (0.9% of loans from a peak of 5.7% in FY2015)
and 61-90 days (0.2% of loans) and beyond is at its lowest point since we have been able to
monitor this portfolio (Exhibit 18) and (4) the bank has been growing its investment grade
portfolio at a relatively healthy pace and the share of working capital loans has increased to
45% of corporate loans as compared to ~20% in FY2012-13 (Exhibit 7). We believe
incremental discussions would move towards coverage ratio and the path to steady RoEs from
here.
Maintain BUY; TP unchanged at `400
We maintain BUY rating with target price unchanged at `400. We value the bank at 1.7X
adjusted book and ~11X March 2020E EPS for RoEs that can move back to ~13-15% in the
near term. The management has proffered an unchanged guidance of ~15% RoE
(consolidated) for 1QFY21 and net NPLs at 1.5% of loans including normalized credit costs. The
strength of the liability franchise, granular and low-risk asset mix and gradual improvement in
recovery of bad loans would aid multiple expansions. We retain our view of ICICI Bank and SBI
as preferred choices to ride the corporate-recovery cycle.
ICICI Bank (ICICIBC) Banks
Getting better and better. Our readings of the annual report and 20-F filing reaffirm
our view that despite the headline disappointment on earnings, slower loan growth and
high slippages from drilldown list, there is a lot in it to retain our positive view. We like
the shift towards low-risk loans (retail and corporate), healthy mobilization of CASA
deposits, sharp decline in unrecognized impaired loans and most importantly, strong
improvement in early warning signals. Maintain BUY; our top pick (TP unchanged).

Exhibit 4: Retail and treasury contributing to the bulk of earnings while high provisions are denting corporate book for the bank Segmental break-up of income, growth and contribution, March fiscal year-ends, 2011-18
Notes:
(A) ICICI Bank has stopped reporting the operating expenses and provisions for corporate banking and treasury/others since FY2012. We have
calculated the provisions assuming that the depreciation/other provisions are charged to treasury/others and allocated the balance to corporate
banking. We have not got the non-interest income for corporate banking in FY2016. We have assumed it to be `1 bn lower than FY2017
(B) Operating expenses would be the balancing figure once the above assumptions are made.
(C) We have assumed that non-interest income for treasury and others includes the dividends from subsidiaries and investments gains
(D) Impact of transfer pricing and cost allocation across business segments can have significant impact on earnings. Also, any revisions to the
formula across years could make them less significant from an analysis perspective

LOAN GROWTH – RETAIL SHIFT CONTINUES; STRESS SECTORS DECLINE FURTHER
The transition towards low-risk and granular assets which began in FY2013 has continued into FY2018.
Overall retail loans contribute ~55% of the loan book. On the other hand, we are seeing greater focus on
building working capital loans in the corporate segment as well. Further, the de-risking of the corporate loan
portfolio is underway as the share of stressed sectors has started to decline at a faster pace in FY2018.
ICICI Bank’s loan growth was closer to industry average at ~10% yoy in FY2018 though
lower than most private banks posted stronger growth rates. ICICI Bank has been
attempting to rebalance its portfolio given the high share of lending in the riskier segment in
earlier years. The bank is trying to shift the composition of assets with a greater share of
retail loans and less riskier corporate loan portfolio. The shift to the retail segment started
sometime in FY2013 and the book has been growing quite strongly at ~20% CAGR. While
the initial years of loan growth in the retail segment was led by the housing sector, we are
now seeing a shift in lending towards unsecured loan portfolio. However, the contribution
from this segment is quite low at 6% of loans while the same for HDFC Bank is ~15%.
SME loans grew 15% yoy while the domestic corporate loan portfolio grew 5% yoy. Foreign
currency loans growth has started to decline. After many years, we have started to see the
exposure in some of the stressed sectors declining, albeit at a much faster scale. Loans to the
stress sectors like infrastructure, iron and steel and the power sector declined 110-120 bps
yoy.

Lending in overseas branches declines on dollar basis
Foreign currency loans were flat yoy on rupee basis but the dollar exposure has declined 6%
yoy. We note that NIM in the international business improved in FY2015 as the bank took
opportunity to deploy excess liquidity and a cautious approach to build this business. Yield in
the portfolio has improved but the bank has reported a fair bit of impaired loans in FY2016.

Share of working capital consistently on the rise
In the two exhibits below we are using the contribution from 20 F filings to understand the
change that the bank is undertaking today in the corporate sector. As we have been
highlighting in the past few years, the change is already evident in the shift in loan portfolio
towards low risk assets. The bank has one of the best low cost deposits which allow the
bank to focus more on such low risk products. In the medium term, it is quite likely that the
share of working capital loans keeps increasing as a share of overall corporate lending.

Growth in PSL loans slower; rural loans grew 25% yoy
Growth in PSL loans was on the lower side at 7% yoy broadly mirroring the overall loan
growth for the bank. Importantly, the bank’s rural portfolio (8% of loans) grew 15% yoy.
Note that we have revised FY2015 data to reflect the change in definition in PSL loans. The
PSL loans contributed to ~40% of the overall loan portfolio for the bank. The bank’s
investment in RIDF bonds was marginally higher but it is likely that the calls were higher for
the year. From an NIM perspective, the drag was lower given the better yields received in
this book. From a sub-segment perspective, ICICI Bank has achieved 15% of loans in
agriculture. Importantly, the bank has been able to achieve ~65% of its requirement under
weaker sections.

Share of off-balance sheet items stable
Overall contingent liabilities to loans stood at 2.5X of loans, which is sharp decline from
FY2010-11 levels of 4-4.3X of loans. There has been an increase in the past few years but
most of the increase is on account derivative contracts rather than riskier off balance sheet
items. The high credit risk item like guarantees and acceptances has been stable over the
past 4-5 years. Moderate corporate activity and a far more cautious approach to lending in
this space by the bank is leading to this performance.

IMPAIRMENT: MORE ROOM FOR POSITIVE SURPRISE FROM HERE
We believe that ICICI Bank is all set to enter into a stage for normalized business environment having gone
through a decade of too many mistakes led by a few factors: (1) CASA share is now at its best among peers,
(2) early warning signals across retail and corporate segment is back to trend levels and (3) outstanding share
of “below investment grade” loans largely explained by net NPLs. Investors are likely to take some time to
adjust to this new normal scenario of ICICI Bank having been disappointed for the past decade.
We believe that we are soon reaching to a point where investors would start to recognised
that the peak stress levels is behind and the bank is quite quickly to head towards
normalized levels of business. There have been significant additions to bad loans from three
major segments all of which has a very low level of outstanding loans currently: (1) 50% of
the slippages in FY2018 has come from the drill down list or non-fund based devolvement,
(2) 45% of the slippages has come from the revocation of the various drill down schemes
such as SDR, S4A and 5:25. Contribution to slippages from the restructured loan portfolio
has come off sharply as the bulk of the book was classified as NPL in FY2017. Retail NPL
appears to be broadly comfortable. On the reduction of NPLs, we have started to see
acceleration in resolution cycle for the bank largely led by one large upgrade in the cement
sector. Loan-loss provisions have been higher as most of the accounts that are slipping or
have slipped earlier are moving towards the older buckets implying that the provisions
would be higher as per RBI policy on provisions for bad loans.

The exhibit below shows the break-up of NPLs across sectors. The retail portfolio continues
to do well with negligible NPLs but the corporate portfolio has seen quite a bit of
deterioration in FY2018. A large share of the deterioration has come from the infrastructure,
mining and construction portfolio along with one large NPL in the electronics and
engineering segment. On the power sector, as per the last available release with us for
1QFY19, the bank has indicated that 40% of the book has been classified as impaired and
of the balance, 80% of the exposure (excluding a small portion of lending to state electricity
board) is rated A and above giving comfort on the book.

As indicated by the bank in FY2015-16, there was a drop in the number of cases for fresh
restructuring of loans. Outstanding share of restructured loans stood at ~0.3% of loans.
Overall it has been a fairly disappointing performance on the restructured loan portfolio.
While there is some degree of subjectivity on our analysis but if we take FY2011 as a base
case year to understand restructured loans and monitor the progress of this book since then,
we note that ~90% of the reduction of this book is mostly explained by slippages indicating
that the recovery or upgradation has been quite abysmal. Given that these loans have
completed more than two years of performance, probability of further slippages looks
unlikely and most importantly the size is insignificant to discuss this from hereon.

We shift our attention to 20F filings as the disclosures in that report are far superior that
what is available to us from the annual report and regular quarterly disclosures. A key
concern raised post 1QFY19 results is the risk that the new disclosures provided by the bank
has on the near term forecast of slippages for the bank. We discuss that the same is not too
worrying at this stage. If anything, ICICI Bank’s loan portfolio is probably at its best in terms
of performance that we have seen in many years in almost each segment where this
reporting is available.

This table appears to be a reasonably good early warning indicator considering that the
sharp rise in slippages in the corporate loan portfolio was seen through the early warning
indicators in FY2015.
As we see the data today, the corporate loan portfolio should see lower risk of slippages
from hereon. The data shows that the retail is quite steady though mortgages are showing
marginally higher stress level in the early buckets. It is quite surprising to see that the retail
secured book is showing relatively higher stress than the unsecured book which was
something similar to what we had described in our takeaways from CIBIL report on retail
loan performance for the sector a month back.

LIABILITY FRANCHISE: STRONG AS EVER LEADING TO BETTER NIM PROFILE
NIM broadly stable but is impacted by high income de-recognition
FY2018 saw NIM stable at ~3% of loans though the bank is seeing a lot of pressure on the
corporate loan portfolio led by high NPLs. NIM in the domestic business was flat yoy at 3.6%
while NIMs in the international business declined ~80bps to 0.5% which is the lowest that
we have seen since this data has been reported.
NII grew 6% yoy despite a 10% yoy in loan growth and 6% yoy growth in balance sheet.
The impact on NIM would probably have been higher had the bank not seen the cut in
savings deposits rate in FY2018. The bank saw a substantial improvement in its liability
profile which sharply lowered the cost of deposits/funds resulting in better-than-initially
expected NIM for the bank.
Our broad view remains that the underlying NIM which has been under pressure for the
corporate banks could reverse in the next few quarters led by lower slippages, better pricing
power, marginally improving spreads in the international business and higher share of loans
in the domestic business.

Investment yields soften due to decline in G-Sec yields and fall in wholesale rates
Investment yield declined ~40bps yoy partly led by ~40bps decline in the G-Sec portfolio to
7.1% and ~50bps decline in yields to 6.1% in the bond and debentures, CD, PTC and CP
portfolio. Some of the decline in bonds and debentures is also a function of the book which
may have substantially lower yielding investments as a part of the NPL/restructuring exercise.
Deposit mobilization continues at a brisk pace; CASA ratio healthy at 50% levels
Overall deposits grew 14% yoy led by strong growth in CASA deposits. Savings deposits
grew 17% yoy while current account deposits grew 19% yoy. We note the saving deposit
mobilization was maintained at healthy levels of despite a strong base of FY2016 due to
demonetization. Overall CASA ratio was healthy at ~50% of overall deposits. Positive trend
was seen even when we look at the same ratio on an average balance basis or when you
include the overall external funds (deposits and borrowings).
We see the liability profile to be the best improvement for ICICI Bank. With cost of funds
comparable to HDFC Bank, the bank now can now aggressively challenge HDFC Bank on
most of its products and report similar margins on those products.

STABLE COST STRUCTURE: INVESTMENTS IN RETAIL CONTINUE
FY2018 saw a marginal deterioration in cost-income ratio of ~300bps to 38% but this is still
one of the lowest amongst private banks. The previous few years (FY2016-18) has the
benefit of one-off stake sale gains supporting income which is not available from here at the
same levels resulting in marginally higher cost-income ratios for the bank. Operating
expenses grew at 6% yoy with staff costs growing by 3% yoy. The bank has made lower
provisions relating to retirement related expenses on account of increase in interest rates.
Direct Marketing Agency expenses (DMA) grew 13% yoy which is broadly similar to FY2016-
19 (see exhibit 24). This contributes to 13% of the non-staff expenses. This appears to be
the best proxy to understand disbursements given the limited information that we have and
this growth, gives comfort that the underlying business momentum in retail did not decline
too much despite the bank seeing higher pressure of corporate NPLs.

From a segmental perspective, operating expenses in the retail division grew 8% yoy and
contributed to ~75% of the overall expenses (see exhibit 26). However, revenue in this
business grew faster at 13% yoy largely on the back of better performance on the lending
business. The operating cost ratios (per branch basis) in the retail division were broadly
unchanged for the past four years which is probably growing at a pace which is closer to
inflation levels suggesting some maturity levels to the business. Note that a large part of
growth could be attributed to the increase in physical infrastructure and more importantly
on the origination costs of retail loans (increase in DMA expenses).

Notes:
(A) ICICI Bank does not give a specific break-up of expenses across different segments. However, this can be computed based on the income,
provisions and PBT reported by the bank
(B) FY2016-17 corporate expenses might be incorrect for the corporate bank has not provided the non-interest income which is required to
calculate the operating expenses of that business. We may not be too different from the actual performance given that the corporate portfolio
had a subdued performance. We are deriving FY2017 corporate expenses by keeping `2bn of treasury related operating costs.

SUBSIDIARIES: UK REMAINS THE ONLY AREA OF PAIN
The performances by subsidiaries were broadly strong across all subsidiaries barring UK. All the capital market
subsidiaries had a solid year while the insurance business had strong profitability and growth metrics as well.
UK remains an area of concern while Canadian subsidiary has moved back to profits. Exposure towards Indian
companies is falling sharply in the international branches loan portfolio.
Subsidiary performance snapshot
The performance across various subsidiaries improved in FY2018 as the capital market
related business had a solid year, insurance business continues to do well and Canadian
subsidiary moved back to profits. We have explored most of the main subsidiaries in this
report but note there are a few more whose contribution is quite negligible. The overall
earnings increased in these subsidiaries by 10% yoy. In the insurance business, ICICI
Prudential Life Insurance reported flat earnings while ICICI Lombard’s earnings increased
22% yoy. The capital market related business had another strong performance with the
AMC business reporting ~30% yoy growth in earnings while securities business grew ~60%
yoy while primary dealership business saw earnings falling sharply on account of sharp rise in
interest rates. In the lending business, UK business reported a loss led by higher provisions
while Canadian subsidiary moved back to profits after a weak performance in FY2017.
Performance in the home finance business showed higher provisioning pressure and tepid
loan growth as compared to the parent.
Payout ratio drops primarily due to lower payout from the insurance business
FY2018 saw the overall dividends flat for the third consecutive year (see Exhibit 27). The
exhibit shows that the dividend payout ratio has been steadily declining since FY2016.
Payout ratio in FY2018 was at 47% as compared to a peak of 64% in FY2016 (see Exhibit
28). ICICI Prudential Life Insurance is one of the largest contributors to the overall payout as
it has contributed to ~55% of the overall dividends declared but lower than 60% reported
in FY2016 due to change in their dividend policy. As indicated in the previous years the
overall quantum of payout appears to be sustainable though the growth in dividends may
not be too sharp as select businesses are not seeing such a strong traction on earnings as
growth is quite subdued.

International subsidiaries – India is less and less significant
Over the past few years, we have seen a change in the bank’s lending activity in both its
international subsidiaries. There has been a marked decline in the lending exposure towards
Indian corporates where the bank has seen a large share of stress being created in recent
years.
ICICI Bank Canada: India-related exposure is declining sharply
FY2016 saw earnings for the Canadian subsidiary moving back to profits (currency taken as
year-ends) due to lower loan loss provisions.
Exhibit 31: Return ratios has been impacted due to weak impairment ratios RoE decomposition of the Canadian subsidiary, March fiscal year-ends, 2010-18 (%)
Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities
The bank reported a flat loan portfolio for the past few years but there is quite a churn of
the underlying portfolio. FY02018 saw a broadly similar composition to FY2017 in terms of
the loan portfolio. The exposure towards Indian corporates which was ~50% of the loan
portfolio in FY2010-11 has declined to 4% in FY2018 which adjusted for impairment
provision (90% of the exposure) is negligible at current levels.
The bank follows an expected impairment led policy as against a rule based (date of default)
accounting for impairment recognition. The bank has split the entire portfolio in 8 broad
buckets of which borrower risk ratings (BRR) 1-4 is considered “Satisfactory”, 5 is “Especially
Mentioned”, 6 is “Sub-standard”, 7 is “Closely Monitored” and 8 is “Default and
Impaired”. As of FY2018, the bank’s BRR 7 and 8 was ~3.5% of loans. Given that the
portfolio has been unchanged in the past two years, we think that the portfolio appears to
have reached some stability from an NPL recognition standpoint. The bank has increased its
provisions on its India portfolio reflecting the weakness in this book in recent years but the
portfolio did not see higher provisions in FY2018.

ICICI Bank UK: India exposure remains the sore point
The weak performance in UK continued in FY2018 as the bank continued to make high
provisions for bad loans. Revenue growth was weak led by NIM pressure, negligible loan
growth and low fee income.
However, we do see a few positives in the UK business that is quite similar to what we saw
in the Canadian subsidiary. We understand that the bank is steadily participating in select
local lending opportunities apart from lending in the short term trade financing segment.
We probably need to wait for a few more years of data points to get more comfortable if
the growth is firmly back on track. Loan mix is changing quite sharply with a lesser emphasis
on India related portfolio.

We believe that there is a possibility of RoE metric to sharply show an improvement over the
next few years. The bank has already improved its NIM profile in this business over the past
few years and with the India-related exposure falling sharply the risk for sharp rise in
impairment ratios appears to have been reasonably well insulated. The bank is already
generating ~1.5% pre-provisioning operating profit and given the nature of lending, we
should see negligible provisions from hereon. This should result in a sharp improvement in
RoEs in this subsidiary.

Notes:
(A) The bank had raised FCNR deposits and had reported as a separate line item in FY2014-15 which is not there in FY2016 as per the annual report
but we have included it here as they are yet to mature. We have removed this in FY2017 as we assume that it would have matured

Overdue ratios are high and mostly led by India-related exposures
The following two exhibits show the performance of the loan portfolio from an impairment
perspective. The overdue (includes 1 day default) is currently at 10% of loans which is a
marginal decline of ~150bps on a yoy basis. We have seen a decline on absolute basis. India
linked portfolio has nearly 90% of the overall bad loans while the UK portfolio has no
overdues as of the last available information.

The bank’s capital structure in the UK business remains fairly comfortable with tier-1 ratio at
14% which is well above the threshold requirements recommended by the local regulators.
There is little headroom to repatriate capital from this subsidiary from hereon. We think that
the bank would want to keep a fairly comfortable capital position in this business as they are
looking to grow the balance sheet and the RoEs are still not sufficient to generate capital for
meeting this growth requirement.

ICICI Home Finance – weak overall performance
ICICI Bank Home Finance division reported a 65% decline in earnings primarily led by a
weak NII growth as NIM declined 40bps yoy, the business reported a flat performance in fee
income and provisions for bad loans was high. The overall impairment ratio rose ~100 bps
to 3.3% of loans and consequently, the bank had increased its provisions for bad loans. The
overall RoEs in this business are quite weak historically at 11-13% as compared to most
comparable housing companies.

The portfolio has grown in the past year by ~8% CAGR. The growth rate was skewed
towards the non-housing portfolio. The non-housing loan portfolio is a book that primarily
consists of loans-against-property and real estate financing. The bank has broadly kept the
ratio between the two at 60:40 since FY2010.

The impairment ratio has shown an increase in NPL ratio in the housing portfolio offsetting
the improvement in the housing loan portfolio. The overall ratio was at 3.3% with similar
NPL in the housing loan and non-housing portfolio.

ICICI Asset Management – the good story continues
The AMC business had another strong year with the average AUM growing by 25% yoy led
by a tailwind due to lower interest rates, demonetization and a relatively better performance
from capital markets as compared to other savings products. ICICI Prudential AMC has
grown its average AUMs by 28% CAGR over the past 5 years as compared to the industry
growth of 23%. The company’s market share has improved 250bps to 13% in this period
but has remained stable yoy.
One of the benefits of this business is the strong operating leverage as earnings grew ~50%
yoy in FY2018 and 40% CAGR over the past 5 years. The margins (PAT/average AUM)
improved 3bps to 0.16%.

ICICI Securities and Primary Dealership
Mixed trend across these two businesses as equity markets did relatively well as compared to
the bond market players. Activity level in the securities market was solid leading to strong
growth in revenues and earnings but primary dealership was relatively weak due to rising
interest rates on a yoy basis leading to a decline in revenues and earnings in FY2018.
Revenues increased ~30% yoy while earnings grew ~65% yoy in the securities business
while revenues declined 65% and earnings declined ~75% yoy in the primary dealership
business. The revenues in the broking business grew ~32% yoy while bond gains, which are
the primary source of business income in the primary dealership business, declined ~95%
yoy. We are not reading too much into these changes given the nature of business that is
highly dependent on external conditions.

ICICI Lombard General – a solid performance
ICICI Lombard General Insurance reported a decline of 5% yoy in earnings though PBT grew
by ~2% yoy. The tax provided increased to 28% from 22% in FY2015. This led to RoEs in
the business to decline to 17% from >20% reported in the previous few years.
The overall premiums in the business grew 20% yoy and the company’s market share was
maintained at 8% though it has lost share amongst private players by 60bps yoy to 18.4%.
Operating profit in fire insurance was strong but most of the other business had a relatively
weak performance with losses increasing in marine business. Combined ratio in the business
remained >100% for the fourth consecutive year at 107%.

1QFY19—TCS adds more incremental revenues than the next four
Tier-1 performance was polarized. TCS impressed with 4.1% c/c revenue growth ahead of
consensus. Infosys’ performance was marginally weaker than expected but did just enough to
indicate that the company was on track for a turnaround. Wipro performed better than
expected yet ended up with flat revenues. HCLT disappointed while Tech Mahindra surprised on
lowered expectations. None of the Tier-1 companies, except TCS, reported yoy acceleration in
organic revenue growth. TCS added US$204 mn of absolute incremental revenues in c/c in the
quarter. The next four managed US$125 mn in c/c terms.
Mid-tier pack—continues to impress
The mid-tier pack impressed with growth rates for Mindtree and L&T Infotech hitting 20%+ on
yoy comparison. Even other mid-tier companies such as Hexaware, NIIT Technologies and L&T
Technology Services delivered impressive growth rates. Factors helping growth rates are—(1)
market share gains amid robust spending by top clients. Mindtree derived 43% of incremental
revenues from the top client in the quarter, (2) lesser legacy drags and (3) deal flow that has
picked up over the past year. Expect select midcaps to outperform large players on growth.
Strong deal flow for all, growth for some
Nearly all companies indicated record bookings, deal flow or TCV wins. A valid question is why
are incremental revenues not added at record levels for IT companies? We can only fathom the
following points—(1) increasing consolidation among Tier-1 vendors. Hence win for one
offshore pure-play may be a loss for another. The entire business won is not net new from
industry standpoint and (2) increasing magnitude of deflationary pressure in the legacy
business. Predicting the leakage in existing revenues is an increasing challenge, especially when
the intensity of leakage has picked up. This dynamics is best highlighted by HCLT’s performance
where two record quarters of bookings will end up translating in modest 4.25-6.25% organic
constant-currency revenue growth rate for FY2019. Bottom line—bookings have to be
juxtaposed with renewal rate of business and magnitude of deflationary pressure in the core.
BFSI conundrum—growth for some, decline for others
Insurance growth is strong across the board. However, growth in the banking vertical was
mixed with Infosys and HCLT reporting decline and Wipro and TCS registering healthy growth.
What explains the divergence? IT spending of banks is growing at a robust clip, which should
have reflected in robust growth across players. However, this has not materialized into growth
due to insourcing and captive shift of spend by key clients. Growth in the vertical will be a
function of two factors—(1) participation rate in digital program. Wipro’s consistent growth in
banking is courtesy a few consolidation and customer experience transformation wins. TCS’
growth in the recent quarter seems to suggest that it is participating aggressively in integration
digital programs and (2) exposure to accounts that have experienced a captive shift. Wipro is
the only company fortuitous enough to avoid the impact. Bottom line—growth will directionally
improve but expect it to be patchy and inconsistent across players in FY2019.
Technology India
1QFY19 review: The familiar story. The familiar actors delivered again in the quarter,
i.e. TCS and the mid-cap pack. The rest of the Tier-1 reported muted results.
Commentary across the board was optimistic backed by strong bookings/TCV of deal
wins. After years of deceleration, the industry is finally set for acceleration in growth,
albeit a modest one (1-2%). Stock valuations reflect this optimism. Our stock pecking
order captures two themes—(1) turnaround/growth normalization themes in Tier-1
where valuations are inexpensive (Infosys and Tech Mahindra) and (2) strong business
models with scalability attributes (Mindtree and L&T Infotech) in the mid-tier category.

Stock selection—turnaround stories in Tier-1, consistency in mid-tier
Stock investment approach can be either to back companies that have executed consistently
and trading at rich multiples or buy into companies that are trading at inexpensive valuations
but have hit an execution or portfolio hurdle. Infosys falls in this category. With a certain
stretch of definition one can consider Tech Mahindra as well. Both these companies have
experienced challenges in recent times. These challenges reflect in relatively inexpensive
multiples (16.5X for Infosys and 12X for Tech Mahindra on June 2020E earnings). However,
focus on execution (Infosys) or upcoming opportunities in the marketplace (Tech Mahindra)
can drive turnaround in growth rates and accordingly valuations. Infosys and Tech Mahindra
are our top picks. We would have loved to recommend TCS noting its global leadership on
multiples attributes but find the valuations really punchy for our comfort.
Scale attributes are important for investments in mid-tier companies. Key scale attributes
are—pockets of differentiation and ability to win consistently against established players in
core areas of competence, quality of employee base, profile of clients and breadth of
offerings demonstrated through number of accounts that have accepted multiple services.
L&T Infotech has demonstrated through wins against well-established competitors and
strengths in core and digital offerings. Mindtree excels in quality of resource base, clients
and digital offerings. Both the stocks are our key picks in the mid-tier category.
Margin concerns addressed by rupee depreciation
Indian IT has been fortuitous that rupee depreciation has absorbed margin headwind
resulting from pricing pressure, investments in digital and project staffing challenges
resulting elevated rejection of H-1B applications. Whether offshore pure-plays can retain the
currency depreciation benefits in the medium term remains debatable (we think they may
not); nonetheless the near-term headwinds have been taken care of. Nearly all companies in
the space have reported stable to yoy increase in EBIT margins as detailed in Exhibit 10.
Interesting data points from results
Revenue growth—muted for Tier-1 except TCS, mid-tier companies on a roll. Topline
growth was weak for Tier-1 but better than expectations. On organic c/c basis, growth of
Tier-1 ITs varied from 0.2-4.1%—TCS (+4.1%) led the pack, followed by Infosys (+2.3%),
HCLT (+0.7%) and Wipro (+0.2%). Mid-tier companies that have reported so far have
delivered stellar numbers—Mindtree leading the pack with 8.2% c/c growth, followed by
L&T Infotech (+5.1%) and Hexaware (+4.5%).
Mixed growth rates in BFS. Mid-tier companies reported strong growth in the BFS vertical.
L&T grew 11.6% qoq, Mindtree by 5.8% and Hexaware by 1.6% in USD terms. Growth
rates were mixed across Tier-1 companies. Infosys and HCLT reported revenue decline,
while TCS and Wipro reported strong growth. CTSH reported muted growth in financial
services for the quarter. Among the companies that reported weak BFS revenues,
commentary on outlook was optimistic.
Hiring has picked up and so has attrition rates. All companies are running at high
utilization rates (Exhibit 12). Further growth requires headcount addition, which showed
in numbers of IT companies. Net hiring by Tier-1 IT companies was at a seven-quarter
high. Attrition rates picked up across the board.
