Southern PrideA proxy on South India's real estate growth story
Prestige Estates Projects Ltd, a premium developer in the South India real
estate market, has strong brand equity in the region, notably in Bangalore.
Its presence across asset classes, superior execution and the steady growth
potential of southern cities make it an attractive play.
Recovery of the commercial vertical on the backdrop of strong IT/ITES
demand along with uptick in economic activity augurs well for Prestige.
We initiate coverage with a Buy and target price of INR175 (40% upside).
Strong brand, diversified product mix: Prestige Estates Projects Ltd (Prestige)
has a diversified land bank of ~62msf (company’s share is ~33msf of saleable and
~10msf of annuity projects) in established locations or growth corridors of key South
India cities, especially Bangalore. Prestige enjoys strong trust and customer preference
due to (1) its diversified and well-balanced product positioning across verticals and
customer segments, (2) a superior execution track record (almost 44msf over the past
25 years) with identifiable landmarks in Bangalore such as UB City, Shantiniketan and
Forum Mall and (3) its strong relationships with a growing corporate client base.
Promising markets, quality assets render meaningful cash flow visibility: We
believe Prestige will enjoy steady monetization of its projects due to the stable outlook
of the real estate (RE) sector in most southern cities. This is largely due to (a) strong
growth prospects of the IT/ITES sector, driving housing demand and commercial leasing
and (b) affordability for buyers, led by the rational movement of property prices. We
expect Prestige to have meaningful cash flow visibility from (1) its pre-sold projects
(~13msf) with ~INR22b receivable over the next 2-4 years, (2) its near-term launch
pipeline of ~15msf and (3) growing annuity assets (~3msf operational and ~7msf
upcoming). However, its heavy inclination towards annuity projects and strong near-
term capex plans are likely to dent free cash flow over the next couple of years.
Steady revival of the commercial vertical to boost annuity income: Bangalore
has been in the forefront of commercial recovery, driven by the renewed momentum in
corporate expansion in the IT/ITES sector. Prestige is well placed to benefit from the
commercial uptrend with (1) 2.5msf of rent-yielding and ~3.4msf of upcoming projects
and (2) a strong and growing MNC/domestic client base. Prestige’s JV with CRIDF, an
associate of Capital Malls Asia, will help it to expand in the retail vertical, which
accounts for 19% of Prestige's GAV. We estimate annuity income from commercial
and retail segments will show uptrend from INR1.5b in FY11 to INR2.7b in FY13.
Valuation and view: We estimate Prestige's one year forward NAV of INR195. Prestige
has commanded a better average RoE of 15% over the past four years (v/s ~11% for
the coverage universe). It trades at 1.5x FY13E BV of INR81/share, 11x FY13E EPS
of INR11.3 and 36% discount to NAV. We believe (a) momentum in IT/ITES demand
growth and rental uptick, (b) on-time monetization and execution of flagship projects,
and (c) acquisition of new turnkey projects will be key triggers for the stock. We
initiate coverage with a Buy and a target price of INR175 (a 10% discount to NAV).

Strong brand and diversified product mix
Prestige has a land bank of ~62msf in city-centric locations or growth corridors
of key South India cities, especially Bangalore.
Prestige enjoys trust and customer preference due to its (1) diversified,
balanced product positioning, (2) execution track record with identifiable
landmarks in Bangalore and (3) strong relationships with a growing
corporate client base.
Prestige's development portfolio is skewed towards the JDA and JV models,
which have helped it to acquire prime land with minimal upfront investment.
Diversified asset classes…
Much of Prestige's brand recognition emerges from its long presence and successfultrack record in RE verticals, such as(1) Residential: Strong end-to-end product mix, including sky apartments, villas, plotted
developments and integrated townships.(2) Commercial and Retail: Customized offerings such as corporate office blocks, built-
to-suit facilities, technology parks, campuses, SEZs and shopping malls, under variousbusiness models (annuity, strata-sale).
(3) Hospitality: Prestige's offerings include hotels, resorts and serviced accommodation.
Since inception, Prestige delivered ~44msf (157 projects) of development across verticalsand its future product proposition of ~62msf extends across asset classes. About 60% ofPrestige's development plan is residential and the rest is distributed among commercial(25%), retail (11%) and hotel (4%) projects.

… in growing and promising RE markets
Prestige has emerged as a Bangalore-focused RE player, having delivered 157 projectsover 44msf of developable area, with ~75% of the projects located in city-centric locations.However, it has been expanding to other key cities in South India such as Chennai, Cochin,Mysore, Hyderabad and Mangalore. Bangalore constitutes ~75% of Prestige's futuredevelopment plans and Chennai accounts for ~13% of its land bank. Steady diversificationreduces its dependence on a single RE market and offers an opportunity to leverage theRE growth story of other emerging tier-II and tier-III southern cities as well.

Products at several price points address wide demand
Prestige is established in almost every RE sub-vertical, catering to a wide customer baseover varying income groups. In the residential vertical Prestige has a varied range ofproducts in mid-income housing, high-end city-centric segments and high-end villas, and itoffers ample variety in commercial and retail verticals as well to maximize its customerbase. We believe Prestige's offerings will give it the opportunity to leverage on growthpotential at every price point and give it higher resilience during a slowdown.

JDA model enables value-accretive acquisitions
Prestige has land reserves of more than 1,000 acres, aggregating ~62msf of developmentpotential and ~43msf of saleable (or leasable) area in Bangalore, Mysore, Cochin,Hyderabad, Mangalore, Chennai and Goa. The development portfolio is skewed towardsjoint development agreement (JDA) and joint venture (JV) models, comprising over 65%of its land bank. The JDA model with local land owners enables Prestige to acquire city-centric prime land parcels (projects in UB City, Khoday and Ulsoor Road) at minimumupfront investment.
Prestige's (1) brand advantage, (2) superior delivery and (3) ability to command pricingpremium has made it a preferred joint development partner for land owners. The JDAroute of land acquisition offers superior capital recycling and helps to mitigate marketuncertainty.

Execution excellence, client base, strategic association, integratedbusiness approach key ingredients of premium branding
Prestige products have higher customer preference and command premium pricing, acrossRE segments due to its strong brand, which emerges from: (a) execution excellence, (b) awide client base, (c) strategic associations and (d) integrated business approach.
(a) Execution excellence: Over the past 25 years, Prestige has exhibited executionsuperiority in volume (over 157 projects, ~44msf of developable area) and quality. Thecompany developed some of the largest integrated developments and identifiable landmarksin Bangalore, such as UB City, Shantiniketan, Forum Mall and Prestige Tech Park.
Landmark developments

Shantiniketan Forum Mall
(b) Wide client base: Prestige has set up and nurtured strong relationships with reputedclients such as Cisco, Reliance, JP Morgan, Oracle and Nokia. The company tied up withCisco for its expansion in India and to develop the largest campus, outside the US, of~4.5msf (it has built six out of 14 buildings amounting to ~1.8msf). A large, growing clientbase with strong order book potential minimizes its dependence on a single client or groupof clients.
Prestige Estate Projects
818 July 2011
(c) Strategic associations: Prestige also enriched its brand by establishing strategicpartnerships (JVs) with international players such as(a) Capita Retail India Development Fund (CRIDF), an associate of Capital Malls Asia,
for retail business (it plans to develop six malls in South India); and(b) Reputed hotel management brands such as Oakwood, Hilton, Marriott and Starwood
for hospitality projects.
We believe association with global players will augment Prestige's expertise and brandequity and bolster its growth potential.
(d) Integrated business approach: Prestige's integrated business approach has beenits key building block of its growth. Its marketing strategy involves indigenous expertiseand external perspective of reputed domestic/international consultants to ensure high visibilityand sales translation. Prestige's focus on developing in-house construction capabilities willgive it better quality control and execution management. The company foresees immensepotential in allied services such as (a) property management, (b) project and constructionmanagement, (c) mall management solutions and interior designing. We believe the segmentshave strong potential to supplement its core business and render additional revenue streams.

Promising markets, quality assets render strong cash flowvisibility
We believe Prestige will enjoy steady monetization of its projects due to stable
outlook of the RE sector in most southern cities.
This is largely due to (a) strong growth prospects of the IT/ITES sector, driving
the housing demand and commercial leasing and (b) buyers’ affordability, led
by rational movement of property prices.
We expect Prestige to have meaningful cash flow visibility from (1) its pre-
sold projects (~13msf) with ~INR22b receivable over the next 2-4 years, (2)
strong near-term launch pipeline of ~15msf and (3) a growing portfolio of
annuity assets (~3msf operational, ~7msf upcoming commercial/retail/hotel
projects).
However, its heavy inclination towards annuity projects and strong near-term
capex plans, are likely to dent free cash flow over the next couple of years.
Bangalore market steadiest among super metros
In most southern cities, led by Bangalore, sales momentum has been steady over the past12 months. This is largely due to a higher proportion of end-user demand (~80%), whichhas stronger resilience to macro-cyclicality and is mainly driven by need-based ratherthan profit-based purchase. This has kept property prices in Bangalore largely affordable,with a moderate price appreciation across locations. A Cushman and Wakefield analysissuggests that compared with values in Bangalore at the end of 2009, capital valuesappreciated by a moderate 3-17% in the high-end segment and 5-19% in the mid segment.We believe the stability in capital values has reinstated the return of positive sentimentamong buyers over the past 6-9 months. Therefore, (a) steady demand growth fromgenuine buyers, and (b) increase in new launches by major developers has resulted inpositive momentum in sales volume.
We expect demand for RE to remain buoyant due to strong growth prospects of the IT/ITES sector, which is the biggest driver of residential demand (~50%) in southern cities.While a strong employee addition guidance by IT majors augurs well for growth in housingdemand, steady traction in commercial leasing is anticipated in the backdrop of new officespace addition plans, which grew 50-70% in CY10.

Prestige projects to enjoy superior churn
Led by steady market sentiment, we expect Prestige to witness strong sales momentum.Moreover, strong marketability of its projects will ensure higher customer preference dueto (a) attractive project locations, (b) superior construction quality and (c) strong goodwill.Prestige's ongoing commercial projects will enjoy the benifit of improving business outlook(especially in the IT/ ITES vertical) and strong relationship with growing MNCs and IT/ITES players. We expect Prestige to have meaningful cash flow visibility from:(a) strong pre-sales from completed/ongoing projects;(b) robust launch pipeline inclined towards the mid-income segment;(c) growing annuity assets.
(a) Pre-sold projects of ~INR54b to usher in strong near-term cash flow...
Over the past few years, Prestige has enjoyed steady sales momentum. It has ~19msf(developable area ~30msf) of ongoing residential and commercial projects, of which itsold ~13msf (accrual of ~INR54b) including (a) ~1.5msf (INR8b) in FY09, (b) ~2.2msf(INR12b) in FY10 and (c) ~1.9msf (INR13.8b) in FY11. Strong pre-sales from its completedand ongoing projects render healthy near-term cash flow visibility with receivables of~INR22b over 2-4 years. Prestige's debtors grew from INR3.6b in FY10 to INR9.3b inFY11, due to this. We believe near-term cash flow from pre-sales will comfortably addressmost of the remaining construction costs of projects (company estimate of ~INR26b),leaving a robust upside from monetization of strategically unsold inventory of ~6.7msf.

(b) Strong launch pipeline offers additional monetization visibility
After the economic downturn of 2008, there has been a dearth of new launches in Bangaloredue to high outstanding inventory. However, with improving sentiment, new projects havebeen coming into the market. Prestige plans to launch ~15msf (Prestige's share of 10-12msf) of projects over 12-15 months. While delay in approval could lead to a back-endloaded launch in FY12, successful monetization would be a significant cash flow driver forPrestige. We believe a sharper focus on the mid-income segment (~80% of launch plan)and steady market diversification will mitigate potential supply pressure emerging fromrobust launch plans of Bangalore-based developers.

We estimate commercial and retail assets will contribute INR2.7b rental income by FY13
(c) Growing commercial portfolio ensures steady boost in annuity income
Prestige's annuity assets of ~3msf (2.5msf of commercial and ~0.4msf of retail) generatedrental income of ~INR1.5b as on FY11. The company also has two operating hotel projectsyielding ~INR315m in annual rentals (Prestige's share).
We expect Prestige’s annuity assets to grow strongly over 2-4 years with several annuityassets starting operations. We estimate rental income from its commercial and retail projects(excluding hotel properties and sub-leasing income) will jump from INR1.5b in FY11 toINR2.1b in FY12 and INR2.7b in FY13. However with strong construction expenditureplanned in annuity projects (~INR3.5b-4b in FY12), which require upfront heavy investmentand have back-ended cash flow, the annuity vertical is unlikely to generate significant freecash flow in the near term. The company gets 16-20% rental yield from its annuity projects,which is expected to improve steadily with traction in new completion, anticipated overthe next 3-4 years.

Project level cash flow to address capex need for annuity projects
Prestige will generate meaningful medium term project level cash flow from sales ofresidential and commercial projects and growth in rental income. A favorable RE outlookin South India cities is likely to boost absorption of its projects, while its execution capabilityand ramping-up plan in delivery will ensure timely monetization. However, due to its heavyinclination towards annuity projects and strong near-term capex plans, we don't expectPrestige to generate free cash flow over the next couple of years.

Track record offers execution comfort, ensures on-time monetization
Over the past 25 years Prestige has built some of Bangalore's largest integrateddevelopments and identifiable landmark developments such as Prestige Shantiniketan,UB City and Forum Mall. Prestige's execution capability can be attributed to its(1) Strong management, rich industry experience and reputation of timely delivery,(2) Qualified project execution team,(3) Constant integration of operations by developing in-house capabilities in construction
management, property management and interior design, which helps to maintain betterquality control and on-time delivery,
(4) Flexibility in leveraging external expertise due to its relationship with reputed architects,(RSP India, CPG Consultant), contractors (B L Kashyap, Simplex, JMC, L&T, NCCL)and interior designers.

Since inception Prestige delivered 157 projects, aggregating 44msf of developable area.However, Prestige had robust traction in execution over the past 6-7 years during which itdelivered ~30msf of the 44msf; and in FY11, it delivered 16.6msf. The management indicatedPrestige would maintain its execution momentum with average construction of 10-12msfa year and guided for delivery of ~6msf in FY12. We believe Prestige's execution excellenceoffers comfort to its customers and ascertains steady, timely cash inflow.
Integration strategy to improve execution control
Prestige's sharp focus on developing in-house capabilities will introduce better qualitycontrol and execution management. It acquired 75% in Team United, a South India-based construction company, with a
view to developing project construction capability. This construction arm is handling afew ongoing projects such as Southridge, Palladium and a part of White Meadows.
Prestige has an in-house Property Management and Services (PMS) arm (1,619employees), which deals with all aspects of property management for its deliveredprojects, including safety and security, cleaning, maintenance, landscaping and generalfacilities management. It also has an in-house interior designing service arm to assistwith highly customized offerings.
The company has ~14mf of assets under management. We expect that with strongexecution/delivery, it will bring ~30msf of assets under management over the next 2-3 years.
Prestige is likely to post ~25% CAGR in PMS income over the next three years
Source: Company/MOSL
We believe Prestige's development of in-house capability is its key differentiator, fromwhich it will benefit in several ways: It will (1) lower dependence on third parties,(2) ensure better quality control, (3) make for efficient project planning and cost managementand (4) generate a parallel source of revenue.

Revival of commercial vertical to boost annuity income
Over the past 12 months Bangalore has been in the forefront of commercial
recovery, driven by momentum in corporate expansion in the IT/ITES sector.
Prestige is well placed to be a key beneficiary of the commercial uptrend
with (1) 2.5msf of rent-yielding and ~3.4msf of upcoming projects and (2) a
strong relationship with growing MNC/domestic client base.
We believe Prestige’s JV with CRIDF, an associate of Capital Malls Asia, will
allow it to expand in the retail vertical, as well.
We estimate annuity projects in the commercial and retail segment will witness
a strong upward trend from INR1.5b in FY11 to INR2.7b in FY13.
Bangalore to be in the forefront of commercial recovery
We expect Bangalore city to lead recovery of the commercial vertical. While fresh supplyof office space has been limited to CBD areas, Bangalore's secondary business districtssuch as Outer Ring Road (ORR), Inner Ring Road and Bannerghatta Road have emergedas the most attractive commercial micro-markets in India due to their (a) infrastructure,(b) connectivity, (c) clientele like Infosys, Oracle Corporation and IBM and educationalinstitutions such as the Indian Institute of Management and (d) relatively low rentals.These places absorbed an average of ~5msf a year over 2007-10 and command thehighest occupancy rates.
In 2010, there was steady traction in Bangalore's commercial leasing mainly due to controlledsupply and robust interest from occupiers in the suburban and peripheral ORR micromarkets, which accounted for ~40% of absorption over the past six months. Despite thehighest operational commercial space (~60msf) in India, Bengaluru's overall vacancy levelwas 15-16% (among the lowest in India). While peripheral micro markets and areas likeWhitefield had vacancy rates of about 35% due to recent space addition, vacancy rates inCBD and off-CBD locations such as ORR fell sharply to 5-8%. Rentals in the CBD andoff-CBD and suburban micro-markets already appreciated moderately due to sustaineddemand for Grade A office space and minimal vacancy in first-generation buildings. Weexpect leasing momentum to gain steadily due to strong demand from the IT/ITES sectorand with several corporates seeking consolidation.
DTZ's outlook on Bengalore office market
Since 1QCY09, absorption of commercial space increased over seven successivequarters, indicating growing demand in Bangalore's office market.
In 2010 absorption was 8.1msf (v/s 4.5msf in 2009, mainly due to stronger demandfrom the IT/ITES sector. Micro-markets such Whitefield garnered ~40% of supply.
Overall vacancy in the city was ~16% (v/s 19% lowest among key cities) . The consolidation of ORR as the city's most preferred office destination resulted in
this PBD sub-market reporting low vacancy levels of 4%. New supply in 2010 was low at 4.4msf with markets continuing to realign to changing
demand. The scheduled new supply for 2011 is 7.2msf but demand for space islikely to be higher.
Almost all micro-markets in Bangalore appear to be on course for strong recovery.Locations such as Whitefield, whose rental recovery is lagging, are likely to seemarginal price increases during the latter half of 2011.
Moderate supply addition,
low vacancy rates and
steady demand in key micro
markets makes Bangalore an
attractive play on a
commercial recovery
Rentals will strengthen by
late 2011

Traction in the IT/ITES sector a key driver of positive sentiment
Revival in the IT sector and hiring plans by IT majors are likely to boost demand forcommercial space and housing units in South Indian cities, where the IT/ITES sectorscontribute over 60% of demand for office space. With the IT industry's anticipated16-18% growth over the next three years, we estimate IT majors will implement expansionand recruitment plans. This will propel demand for commercial space and boost theresidential segment.

Prestige to be a key beneficiary of the commercial uptrend
Prestige will benefit from the potential upswing in the commercial/retail verticals due to its(1) portfolio of rent-yielding assets (~3msf yielding INR1.5b), (2) projects that are likely togo operational over 2-4 years and (3) a wide client base continuously augmenting theorder book. We estimate the delivery timeline of its annuity assets under construction issmartly aligned to a possible upswing of the commercial RE market between FY12 andFY15. Therefore Prestige is likely to benefit from a pricing uptick or faster-than-expectedresponse to commercial projects. We estimate the annuity projects in the commercial andretail segments will witness an uptrend from INR1.5b in FY11 to INR2.1b in FY12 andINR2.7b in FY13.

Strong, established client relationships
Prestige's client base is a key differentiating aspect in the success of its projects. Itestablished and nurtured relationships with marquee and growing MNC/domestic clients,for whom it undertook development. Its clients represent an opportunity for it to undertakemore of their projects in future. Prestige's clients include:(1) Cisco Systems: Prestige tied up with Cisco for its India expansion plan and to develop
the largest campus outside the US of ~4.5msf at Cessna Business Park. It has deliveredsix out of 14 buildings of ~1.8msf and is undertaking the construction of the remaining~2.5msf on which it will build blocks B7-B11. The operational blocks will contribute ~INR283m of rental income.
(2) Reliance Industries: Prestige developed two projects for the company between2003 and 2007 with leasable area of 0.2msf.
(3) Oracle: Prestige also completed five projects for Oracle between 2002 and 2007with development area of 0.9msf.
(4) The company developed office space for reputed MNCs such as JP Morgan (0.4msf)and Nokia (0.5msf).
Prestige's execution capability and product quality have been crucial factors in its credentialswith clients. A growing client base provides it with opportunities for a strong order book intheir upcoming commercial projects and to create a robust prospective buyer segment forresidential projects. A large number of clients also minimizes Prestige's dependence on asingle group of clients.
JV with CRIDF offers capability building opportunity in the retail vertical
Prestige's joint venture with CRIDF, an associate of Capital Malls Asia aims to developsix retail projects with developable area of 5.6msf and leasable area of 3.4msf (Prestige'sshare 1.2msf) in key South India cities. Capital Malls is one of the largest listed "pure-play" shopping mall owners, developers and managers in Asia by property value of assets,geographic reach and in terms of number of malls and cities. CRIDF invested INR3.6b inthe JV for 50% stake.
The company also holds (a) ~0.38msf of space for retail projects (~INR0.4b in annualrent) and (b) ~2.2msf (Prestige's share 0.7msf) of space in upcoming malls in Bangaloreand Chennai. Prestige's strategy to retain ownership and maintenance control of most ofits retail projects ensures a well balanced tenant mix. For some of its existing malls (suchas Forum Mall, Koramangala), it entered into a revenue sharing agreement, which rendersstrong upside potential from booming consumer growth.

Prestige Estate Projects
1918 July 2011
We believe the growth of organized retail in most Indian cities will be driven by (a) anincrease in disposable income, (b) rising employment opportunities, (c) a change in theperception of branded products, (d) the entry of international players and (e) the availabilityof relatively cheaper finance. Prestige's association with CapitaMalls, an internationallyreputed brand, will help Prestige strengthen and expand in the retail vertical, which accountsfor 19% of Prestige's GAV.
Association with reputed operating partners in hospitality projects
Prestige has a strong partnership with internationally acclaimed brands such as Marriott,Starwood and Hilton for its hospitality business. While it completed two projects in Bangalore(Prestige Oakwood in UB City and Oasis, Angsana in Whitefield), five projects (four inBangalore and one in Kochi) are being developed and likely to add more than 1100 keysover 3-5 years. The company mainly operates under a 60% gross operating profit (GOP)model and we expect this vertical to contribute annual revenue of INR0.3b-0.5b overFY11-13.

18% revenue CAGR, 49% net profit CAGR over FY11-13
A strong project pipeline and an improving RE outlook for southern cities augur well forPrestige's financial performance. We expect Prestige to post revenue of 18% CAGR,from INR15.4b in FY11 to INR21.6b in FY13. The increase will be led mainly by contributionfrom residential projects, leased and sub-leased commercial projects and retail and hospitalityprojects.(1) Development projects: While Prestige's Shantiniketan project has been the key
revenue driver over last couple of years, we expect meaningful contribution from its(a) other mid income and premium-end residential projects such as Neptune Courtyard,Oasis and White Meadows, (b) luxury-end projects such as Golfshire, Kingfisher Towerand Hermitage and strata-sales of commercial properties such as Prestige Polygon.We expect the division to post revenue CAGR of 25% over FY11-13.
(2) Commercial leasing projects: Contribution is expected from its (a) commercialprojects like Cessna Business Park and Prestige Technology Park, (b) upcoming projectssuch as Exora Business Park and (c) sub-leased rentals and from property maintenanceincome. This division is expected to post revenue of 32% CAGR over FY11-13.
(3) Retail and hospitality projects: Revenue is expected from leased rental projectssuch as (a) retail projects like Forum and its mall in Chennai and (b) hospitality projectslike Oakwood and Oasis.

Multiple revenue streams render down-cycle resilience
Prestige's diverse revenue streams follow a well balanced business model across REverticals. While steady annuity income offers a cushion in a sluggish sales environment, itspresence in diverse segments minimizes its dependence on a single asset class. Thus,multiple sources of revenue insulate Prestige from the inherent cyclicality of the RE sector.
(1) Diverse product segments: Prestige has diversified across almost all RE verticalsincluding residential (apartments, villas, plotted developments and integrated townships),commercial (corporate office blocks, built-to-suit facilities, technology parks, campusesand SEZs), hospitality (hotels, resorts and serviced accommodation) and retail(multiplexes and shopping complexes).

(2) Balanced business models: Prestige maintained a balanced mix of revenuecontribution from the sale of projects (mainly for residential and commercialdevelopments) and the lease of assets (mainly for commercial and retail developments).Its leased projects render steady annuity income, which counter balances lumpy revenuefrom projects under the sale model. We expect Prestige's annuity income, whichcomprises income from (1) the lease of commercial/retail properties (2) hotel propertiesand (3) other allied services such as property management to grow from INR2.1bcurrently to INR3.7b in FY13.

Margin expansion to drive earnings growth over FY11-13
Historically, Prestige posted subdued EBITDA margins (an average margin of 22% overthe past five years) mainly due to (1) a large contribution from its low-margin initial phasesof mid-income project Prestige Shantiniketan and (2) a JDA business model in whichPrestige gets a share of revenue in lieu of the whole construction. However, going forward,we expect a sharp uptick in operating margin due to (a) increasing contribution from itspremium and luxury commercial and residential projects and (b) improving realizations inthe mid-income segment. We expect Prestige's EBITDA margins to jump from 24.2% inFY11 (21.8% in FY10) to 28% in FY12 and 32.9% in FY13.

Not concerned about net gearing of INR11.5b and net DER(x) of 0.5x
Prestige's net debt was INR11.5b in March 2011, implying net DER(x) of 0.5x. Theaverage borrowing cost was 13.8%. However, we believe Prestige is comfortably placedin liquidity because: (a) consolidated debt comprises ~INR2b due to consolidation fromsubsidiaries, and excluding partners' share, Prestige's effective net debt would be INR9.9b,and (b) almost ~47% of PEPL's debt is securitized through lease rental discounting fromits existing rent yielding assets and ~26% is addressed by receivable discounting loansfrom its projects under sale-model. Therefore, we expect the company to service its debtobligations comfortably.

Prestige to continue with moderate leverage
Prestige's business model has high exposure to annuity projects in which the companytypically retains the assets on its books and hence the monetization is back-ended. Suchprojects require considerable debt funding during construction. Therefore, Prestige is unlikelyto reduce its debt significantly in the near term. While the company plans to repay ~INR5.5bin FY12 and INR4b in FY13, we expect it to raise fresh loans to refinance the constructionof its annuity projects. Based on management interaction, we expect the company tomaintain net DER(x) of 0.4-0.5x over FY12-13, and its debt servicing capability is likely toimprove with interest coverage ratio increasing from 2.2x in FY10 to 4x in FY13.

Key headwinds
High dependence on the Bangalore market: Almost 75% of Prestige's land bank is inBangalore city, contributing 80% of its GAV. While Bangalore plays a key role for Prestige,the demand for real estate in this city is derived mainly from the IT/ITES sectors, whichcontribute ~62% of commercial and an even higher proportion of residential demand.Thus, any sluggishness in the IT sector could put significant pressure on its sale volume,realization/lease rental and the inherent valuation of the projects.

JV/JDA agreements with third parties entail potential risks: Prestige entered intojoint ventures/joint development arrangements (JDA) for 65% of its developable land.This model has several positives like (a) access to city-centric land parcels and (b) mitigatingthe risk of upfront investments. However, it also caps gains during an economic upswing,since the company gets only a part of the upside. On the other hand, since the companybears the entire construction cost, risk-related to a rise in construction costs would impactthe company more than its peers that adopt the land bank model. Therefore, the company

may not be an out-performer during a boom in the RE market. Additionally, under the JDAmodel, developers need to consider their partners' consent for every major decision, whichinvolves operational challenges. However, we believe (a) Prestige's superior executionreputation and (b) multiple JDAs with the same partners such as Khoday and the UBgroup would mitigate risk of conflict. Also once the area sharing is agreed along withbusiness plan, the company typically takes the power of attorney from the land owner todeal with the project for approval, construction, sales, handing over and registration of theproperty to the prospective buyers
High exposure to annuity assets keeps Prestige asset heavy: While Prestige has acomfortable leverage position, we believe a high proportion of annuity assets (commercial,retail and hotel) will limit its ability to reduce debt. Unlike the residential vertical, whichcould follow a self-financing model, its annuity projects require higher debt financing duringthe construction phase.
Approval delay and macro concerns could delay monetization: Although the steadinessof the Bangalore market is a huge comfort factor, we believe a slower approval processcould impact its launch plan negatively. With lack of launches in 1QFY12, we expectmuch of its 15msf of launch to be back-ended with a risk of delay in cash flow. Similarly,repeated rate hikes could impact sales volumes, especially in the premium segments, whichhas lower resilience to macro-concerns. Given the expectation that projects like Golfshire,Kingfisher Tower, White Meadows and Oasis will contribute significantly to Prestige'scash flow, sluggishness in these projects would be a downside risk.

Valuation and view
We estimate Prestige's one year forward NAV at INR195, based on the NPV method ofvaluing its land bank. Prestige has commanded a better average RoE of 15% over thepast four years (v/s ~11% for the coverage universe). It trades at 1.5x FY13E BV ofINR81/share, 11x FY13E EPS of INR11.3 and 36% discount to NAV. We believe (a)momentum in IT/ITES demand growth and rental uptick, (b) on-time monetization andexecution of flagship projects, and (c) acquisition of new turnkey projects would be keytrigger for the stock. We initiate coverage with a Buy and a target price of INR175.

NAV calculation: Key assumptions
1. NAV estimates factor in development plans that will be executed over 6-7 years;2. 5% CAGR in RE prices across cities and verticals (residential, commercial and retail);3. 4% CAGR in construction costs for all verticals;4. Steady occupancy rates of 90% in commercial and 65% in the hospitality segment;5. WACC of 14% and cap rate of 10.5%;6. Land bank of 483acres valued at cost.
While Prestige's residential and commercial projects under the sale model contribute ~37%and 11% of its Gross Asset Value (GAV) respectively, its annuity assets render strongsupport with ~47% contribution to GAV. Bangalore RE market, which forms 75% ofPrestige's developable area, constitutes ~80% of its GAV. Chennai accounts for ~11% ofGAV with 13% of its development potential.

Existing portfolio protects Prestige from downside risk
Our NAV estimate suggests Prestige has a meaningful valuation cushion from its ongoingresidential/commercial projects and rent-yielding annuity assets. We estimate its
(a) ongoing projects (in which Prestige has sold >25% or ready stock), and(b) existing annuity portfolio of ~3msf and two hotel projects; account for ~INR108/
share (~55% of its NAV of INR195/share), mitigating any large downside risk. Webelieve at the current market price of INR125/share, Prestige is well placed tocapture an upside potential emerging from (a) monetization of its pipeline launchesand forthcoming projects and (b) the start of rentals from its under-constructionannuity assets.
Existing projects valued at INR108/share
Source: Company/MOSL
We expect the following key triggers for the stock:
(1) Momentum in IT growth and volume/pricing uptick: We expect improvement inthe IT/ITES sector hiring and salary growth to have strong direct and indirect positiveimpact on demand outlook of the Bangalore market with traction in commercial leasingvelocity and residential demand. While transaction volume has been steady in thismarket, the scope of better realization (pricing and rental appreciation) could be positivefor Prestige's new launches.
(2) Faster monetization, timely execution of flagship projects: While strong responseto new launches in the mid-income segment will be a critical factor, faster executionof flagship projects such as Golfshire (~INR18b), Kingfisher Tower (~INR7.5b) andWhite Meadows (~INR12b) would be a huge trigger for Prestige, since the projectstogether account for ~16% of its GAV. The company has sold a major portion of theseprojects and therefore, faster completion could propel huge cash flow visibility andimprove the saleability of later phases or newer projects.
(3) Acquisition of new turnkey projects: Prestige is acquiring new land across keycities. Its strong brand establishment with existing JDA/JV partners could help thecompany to be part of a development plan in various other city-centric premium locations,which would be a huge value accretion for the company.
