Summary
g PAT sensitivity
While costs could be the silver lining; y remains skewed towards
realisations
Balance sheets are much stronger than in the previous downcycle and our
coverage will make cash profit even with ~20% price correction (our base
assumption is 10%)
from ‘REDUCE’. We maintain ‘Reduce’ on ACC and ‘SELL’ on India Cements and
Madras Cement

Current liquidity crunch elongating project timelines
Some global cement majors have postponed all projects scheduled to come on- stream
post CY09E, for which, equipments have not been ordered as yet.
Ease in vendor workload, however, is compressing timelines by 3-4 months.

Our supply timelines factor in 50% utilisation level for a new capacity for the first two quarters post commissioning.
Surplus, though lower, remains significant at 15% in FY10E (19% earlier) and
20% in FY11E (20% earlier). 4
…With downside risk of lower demand growth
Domestic demand grew only by 7.6% in FY09 YTD (10.9% YTD in FY08).
5
How can the cycle turnaround?
Only with 15% demand growth, utilisation levels could stabilise/improve post FY10E.
Supply needs to reduce by 15 mt in FY10E to maintain ~85% utilisation levels post FY10E. This is
possible if 40% of FY10E projects get postponed (unlikely) or supply is curtailed through lower
blending/utilisation.
Oversupply could continue till FY12E, unless supply is controlled through lower
utilisation / blending.

However, consolidation level is not too different than before
Capacity share of the top 8 groups is likely to be 62% in FY10E compared with ~60%
60% in FY03;
realisations corrected up to ~13% in FY03.

Likewise, Ambuja Cement’s premium to replacement cost in last cycle was partly due to sales tax benefits enjoyed on ~

Selective value emerges
Grasim- Correction overdone
Investment Rationale:
Strong balance sheet: Balance sheet is healthy with cash and liquid investments expected to
be INR 14.6 bn in FY10E (INR 160/share or 18% of current market cap). Leverage levels remain
comfortable with D/E of 0.5x for FY09E and 0.3x for FY10E.
Maintain market share in a downcycle: We expect the company to maintain market share in
a do tu

8.6% 08)
With the full benefit of increase in capacity from 34 mtpa to 49 mtpa likely in FY10E, we expect
FY10E cement volumes to grow 16% vis-à-vis 8% growth expected for the entire industry.
Attractive valuations with limited downsides: Assigning 2x FY10E EV/EBITDA for the VSF
business, we arrive at an implied EV/tonne of USD 45 for cement, which is ~50% discount to the
current replacement cost.

Key risks
Risk of sharper price correction or slower demand growth.
growth
Sharp upward revision of international coal prices.
17
UltraTech- In the value zone
Investment rationale:
FY10E volume growth to exceed industry average: Volumes expected to grow by 11% Y-o-Y,
compared to industry growth of ~8% led by 4.9mtpa capacity expansion (27% of current
capacity).
Savings from CPP to support margins: A total of 192 MW of CPP will cushion EBITDA margins
at 24.5% in FY10E. 45% exposure to imported coal will provide Y-o-Y earnings support due to
sharp correction in international coal prices. Accordingly, we expect FY10E profit to de-grow by
14% compared to ~14-50% for our coverage universe.
Valuations attractive,
attractive correction overdone: The stock is trading at FY10E EV/tonne of USD 41,41
steep discount of ~52% to current replacement cost. FY10E P/B of 0.8x provides an opportunity to
buy business and not only earnings.
Key risks
Risk of sharper price correction or slower demand growth.
Sharp upward revision of international coal prices.
18
Ambuja Cements- Efficient player
Investment rationale:
Superior profitability:
High EBITDAM: Expected at 30% in CY09E vis-à-vis average FY10E margin of ~27% for our
coverage. At stress valuations (assuming 20% price cut vis-à-vis 10% assumed by us for
our FY10E estimates), EBITDAM is expected to be ~25%. Future cost efficiencies expected
under Holcim,
Holcim a global leader in Alternate Fuel Technology.
Technology
Superior RoCEs: CY09E RoCE at 23% is high compared to peer average of 20.0%.
Lower sensitivity to realizations: ~4% impact on FY10E PAT for ~1% change in realization
compared to 4-6.5% for others.
Strongg balance sheet with comfortable leverage:
g D/E
/ at 0.1x in CY08E,, lowest among g
peers (ranges between 0.3x to 2.7x) provides comfort in the current liquidity constrained
environment.
Strong brand coupled with Holcim patronage: Holcim, global cement major acquired the
company in 2005 and currently owns 46.5% stake. 5% creeping acquisition limit for the stock
for FY09E was unexhausted till September
p 2008 which if utilized,, will p
provide support
pp to the
stock.
19
ACC- Current valuations fair, upside doubtful
Investment rationale:
Profitability lower than others: We expect ACC’s EBITDA margin to be 21.4% in FY10E, which
while healthy, is lower than 25-30% which we expect for the rest of our coverage universe. RoE
too, is muted at 13.7% for FY10E due to low NPM. (11% vis-à-vis 13-17% for others).
Upside from current levels limited: The stock is trading at 27% discount to current
replacement cost vis-à-vis ~38% discount that the stock traded at in the previous downcycle
(ROE of 11.9% in FY03 and 11.2% in CY09E). Proportion of cash and equivalents in CY09E
remain low ~5% of current market cap. Also, the stock is trading at CY09E book of 1.3x
compared to 0.7x for Grasim (FY10E)
Key risks: Risk of lower than 10% price correction in FY10E. Consolidation in the sector. Fuel efficiencies
due to Alternate Fuel Technology
20
India Cements- Regional risk
Investment rationale:
Regional risk: ~92% of current sales and 80% of the 4.9mtpa capacity addition is in south. We
expect south will account for ~52% of all India capacity addition between FY09-11E with the
demand-capacity ratio likely to correct by ~21% in the same period (vis-à-vis ~15% for the
sector as a whole). This exposes the company to the risk of any sharp correction in cement
prices in the region (we have assumed 10% price correction in FY10E).
Valuations do not provide comfort of limited downside risk: The stock trades at EV/tonne
of USD 52, 28% discount to current replacement cost ex-CPP (~USD 72/tonne). While current
valuations appear
pp reasonable,, they
y do not alleviate our concerns of sharper
p price correction.
p
Also, comparable companies like Madras Cement had traded at a discount of upto 50% in the
previous downcycle (discount for India Cement is not indicative as 97% of the company’s EV
comprised of debt).
O l k and
Outlook d valuations:
l i C
Cautious;
i maintain
i i ‘REDUCE’
‘ C ’
At CMP INR 87, the stock is trading at a FY10E EV/EBITDA of 3.3x and EV/tonne of USD 52. In view of
the over supply concerns in the sector, we believe stock performance can be impacted in the near term.
Accordingly, we maintain our ‘REDUCE’ recommendation on the stock.
Key risks:
Risk of lower than 10% price correction in FY10E.
Consolidation in the sector
