INVESTMENT RATIONALE Punj Lloyd has actively worked on diversifying its business in this region. In terms of service line, it became the first company to have received an award for a solar grade polysilicon manufacturing plant in the region. Polysilicon is a critical raw material for solar panels that go into the generation of solar power. There is high potential for further investments in solar power development especially in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In CURRENT ORDER BOOK Punj Lloyd current order inflow for terms of geography, the Company is intensifying Mits FY2012 was Rs 13817 crore which foray in Africa to relatively more stable countries in East is 38% higher than FY2011 and Rs Africa and West Africa and India they have plenty 2854 crore for FY2013 opportunity to invest in solar power India has historically been a power deficit country and the demand for power will continue to grow as does its GDP so there is ample opportunity for investment. As relatively low order book at the beginning of the year revenue is out of the line

with the high capital investment. The aggressive efforts in securing new orders done in the last couple of years has started bearing fruit and good visibility of revenue in the next few years in 2011-12 punj Lloyd successes to secured new orders of worth 14000 cr.

The punj Lloyd bagged order of 500 cr the Singapore government on Monday. Richard Grosvenor, president and CEO of Sembawang Engineers & Constructors, the associate company in joint venture with Punj Lloyds explains that the USD 100-million projects is of a plain-vanilla type and the company will start to book revenues from Q1 of calendar year 2013. The existing order book is expected to be executed over the next two years. We Expect that given the concern on private sector capex, Punj Lloyd will be shifting its focus. To government driven infrastructure projects

The Companys order backlog stood for FY2012 at Rs27109 crore as against Rs 20677 cr in FY 2011 in which 70% of business is overseas but due to good order inflow in FY2012 company order backlog is much better than as compared to previous year.

Won a contract from the Emirates national oil company (ENOC) worth Rs. 623 crore to set up the Falcon jet fuel pipeline and bulk terminal facilities. Punj Lloyd wins its first offshore project in middle east worth Rs 314 crore on 15 march 2013

FOCUSED ON ENERGY SECTOR As the punj Lloyd energy portfolio has share of 65% revenue and 63% unexecuted order book and spread across all geography so have concentrate on this sector to generate revenue as many current orders are from offshore project .As project spread across south Asia, south east asia, middle east and Africa and they are split between government and private orders which helps to stabilizes margin in long run. ORDER INFLOW TO REMA IN ROBUST We expect strong trend in order booking to continue , considering that project often secured by the lowest bid at price including the project given by NPCL punj Lloyd was the lowest bidder worth Rs 180cr.In addition we believe that punj Lloyd benefit from the governments thrust on infrastructure development. The government is planning to double the investment s in infrastructure to almost USD 1 trillion during 12 th five year plan as compared to 11 th five plan throwing open large opportunities in this segment. Private and PPP investments are estimated to have accounted for a little over 30.0 per cent of total investment in infrastructure in the Eleventh Plan. Their share may have to rise to 50.0 per cent in the Twelfth Plan which provides opportunity to private epc segment to flourish more. ABILITY TO TAKE O N BIG PROJECT S As company is able to make big ticket project due to diversified work, strong presence globally and strong equipment base globally which can be readily mobilized. Delivering the quality and standards services to the client and to complete them ahead of schedule make them to take offshore and big ticket projects. The follows the joint venture route to bid for large projects and to meet pre qualification criteria.

RISING CAPEX WOULD DRIVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY Punj gross block has raised from Rs 3364 cr to Rs 4145cr as the company Higher capex on equipment will has significantly ramped up its capital expenditure on equipment. This lead to substantial cost saving. translates to savings on equipment hiring charges and also bolsters operating efficiency. The investment into new segments warrants different types of equipment and we expect to grow capex by 48% by FY2013-14 due to strong order book and healthy execution which in turn drives revenue. Higher capex on equipment will also reduce sub contracting requirement and help to maintain margins with an upward bias in the prevailing competitive scenario.

CONCERNS
RISK At each stage company has to manage the risk. In dynamic market has to led risk like in emerging market south Asia, south east Asia, and MEA where punj Lloyd as strong presence and market are very competitive due to European slowdown which results into high intensity competition between peers. INTEREST RATES Benchmark interest rate increased from 5.5% at the beginning of 2011-12 to 7.5% by March end 2013. This increase in interest rates has significantly increased the cost of capital. Punj Lloyd is actively tightening its cash management to release as much capital as possible and is also exploring options of global sources of capital and also affects the capacity expansion plan and the investment. GEOPOLI TICAL RISK Many of the new opportunities are in under-development markets like Africa and Libya turmoil where there are often very unstable political, social or economic conditions. Implementing long term projects in such an environment of uncertainty is fairly risky for the project executors. INFLA TION India remains a country with supply side condition trailing demand generation. Consequently, there has been a sharp rise in prices across the board but primarily in basic commodities. Inflation directly affects the Company in terms of higher costs, which may not be directly passed on to the client. As inflation in FY13 recorded 6.86 as compared to 6.56 in previous year.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strategic alliances with large construction and engineering companies. Global presence with new establishment in 3 countries. Strong order book well equipped with certification. Engages in various CSR activities. strong network Strong equipment base

Exposed to uncertain political and economic environments, government instability and legal systems. The company is into capitalintensive segments and the higher depreciation costs and interests costs keep its net margins low. Dont have consistensy in operation and making revenue

STRENGTH S

WEAKNESS ES

OPPORTUN ITIES
High level of investments expected in the defence area. More investment in civil infrastruction project will help to boost revenue. More concentration on pipeline project in offshore as large quantum of money coming into oil producing nations mainly Middle East countries which will translate into multiple increases in its own capex in Oil and Gas sector.ore countries will help

THREAT
The fixed annual sharingmechanism for under-recoveries and the uncertain timing of cash pay-outs from the government adversely affect the profitability and working capital management. Business is exposed to commodity price volatility as a sharp increase in raw material prices may impact margins. As a major portion of revenue of the company is from outside India. Sharp fluctuation in currency may impact profitability

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Revenues to grow at 16.30% CAGR over FY13-19E

Expect revenue CAGR of 16.30% over FY13-FY19E We expect punj Lloyd revenues to grow at a 16.30% CAGR over FY13FY19 to Rs 13113.75 Cr. driven by strong order momentum in all Segments. The company has witnessed continuous order accretion over the past year, the most recent being projects worth.
