Structural growth story: The evolution of Quess from an HR outsourcing
company to a business services juggernaut reveals that there exists a strong
structural growth opportunity. Further, with the rise in GDP, shift from
unorganized to organized sector, and continued consolidation in business
service sector, we expect Quess to grow exponentially. With GST, unorganized
players are unable to undercut the organized sector on pricing resulting in
improving prospects of market share gains by organized players.
Aggressive inorganic venture supporting growth: We believe inorganic
expansion is the back-bone to Quess to attain diversification, client penetration
and quick scaling up for growth/operating leverage (turnaround and increased
profitability in acquired companies). With this, the company got exposure to
Kotak Securities Private Client Research Please see the Disclosure/Disclaimer on the last page For Private Circulation 2
high margin segments such as GTS, IFM, and IAM. There is further scope for
margin expansion with turnaround of Brainhunter, MFX, Manipal intergrated
solutions, and Comtel. To fuel its growth, Quess has so far done 18
acquisitions/investments in various ventures. Acquisition of Comtel has set the
next stage of growth Quess has established IT staffing footprint in
Singapore and gained market-leading presence in SE Asia, a key geography.
We are optimistic (considering sound track record on integration of
acquisitions) that meaningful value will emerge for Quess from aggressive
inorganic expansion which are opening multiple avenues of growth and
bottom-line expansion.
We initiate coverage on Quest Corp Healthy Financials: Quess has grown its revenues and PAT at a CAGR of 57%
with a price target of Rs.1010 and 101% respectively over FY11-FY17. On a consolidated basis, we expect
Quesss Revenue/EBIDTA/PAT to grow at a CAGR of 31%/46%/75%
respectively between FY17-19E supported by both organic and inorganic
growth.
Key Risk and Concerns:

Acquisition and integration of future businesses remains the key risk.
Diversification of business verticals and optimal utilization is necessary to

sustain strong growth
Any major slowdown in economy can impact our growth assumption.

Revenue grew by 31% YoY on the back of 23% growth in sales volume. EBITDA
margin improved QoQ on higher volumes but was lower YoY. At 10.1%, EBITDA
margin was slightly below our estimate of 10.4%. PAT for the quarter grew by

activities, expected re-bound in economic activities and possible strict
implementation of overloading ban, truck demand in India will likely grow at
healthy rate in the next 2 years. ALLs EBITDA margin performance is expected to

Result Highlights
Results are not comparable as the company amalgamated Hinduja Foundry
Limited (HFL) with itself. Revenue during the quarter grew by 31% YoY to
Rs60.5bn and marginally higher than our estimate of Rs59.4bn. After
witnessing sharp volume decline in 1QFY18 (due to BSIV transition), demand
picked-up in 2QFY18. ALL reported 23% YoY increase in volumes. Product mix
related changes and HFL amalgamation translated into 7% improvement in
average selling price.
In 2QFY18, truck segment accounted for 65% of revenues and 10% came from
exports. Defence revenues in the quarter was Rs2bn (Rs2bn in 2QFY17 and
Rs2.7bn in 1QFY18). Spare sales in the quarter was at ~Rs3bn.
Gross margins during the quarter declined YoY and QoQ on account of increase
in commodity prices. Given heavy discounting in the market, company could
not initiate a price hike to pass through the impact in 2QFY18.
Increase in employee cost on a YoY basis is on account of higher volumes,
annual increment and HFL merger. Increase in other expenses largely pertains
to merger with HFL.
EBITDA during the quarter grew by 14% YoY to Rs6.1bn and was in line with
our estimate of Rs6.2bn. EBIDA margin declined YoY on the back of multiple
reasons. Commodity price increase, cost absorption due to heavy discounting
by peers, weaker exports margins as against relatively higher margins in
2QFY18 and impact of lower benefit from Pantnagar plant post GST (company
awaits reimbursement from State Government).
Rise in interest cost and depreciation pertains to HFL inclusion in financials.
PAT grew by 14% YoY to Rs3.34bn. PAT for the quarter came in line with our
estimate of Rs3.35bn.
Conference Call Highlights

In 2QFY18, domestic MHCV volumes grew by 20% YoY and for ALL, the
growth was 22% YoY. All gained 0.4% market share during the quarter.
Management expects domestic MHCV industry to grow by 5-10% in FY18.
While growth in 3QFY18 is expected to healthy (lower base due to
demonization), in 4QFY18 growth will be challenged by high base (pre-buying
ahead of BSIV implementation). Exports are growing at a strong rate.
Truck demand received boost in 2QFY18 from strict implementation of
overloading ban in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Management expect
implementation on overloading ban pan India.
Company did not take any price hike in 2QFY18. In 1QFY18, price increase was
limited to increased cost on BSIV vehicles. In November 2017, company took
1% price increase in some models. Management highlighted that heavy
discounting from competitors is making price hikes challenging. Raw material
cost pressure is expected to stay in coming quarter.
HFL continues to improve its performance. In 2QFY18, HFLs EBITDA margin
was 8.5% and the company expects that in the next two years, HFL will be
EBITDA margin accretive to ALL.
Capex is expected to be in the range of Rs5-6bn per annum. Net debt as of end
2QFY18 is Rs2.1bn.
Outlook
In the past one year, MHCV demand has been disrupted on account of
demonetization, BSIV transition and GST implementation. Post significant
decline in 1QFY18, MHCV demand in 2QFY18 rebounded strongly. We expect
MHCV volume growth in 2HFY18 to stay healthy. Given government focus on
infrastructure activities, expected re-bound in economic activities and possible
strict implementation of overloading ban, truck demand in India will likely grow
at healthy rate in the next 2 years.
Revenue growth in other segments like defence, spare sales and exports are
expected to grow at a healthy rate.
ALLs EBITDA margin performance is expected to witness gradual improvement
on account of operating leverage from volume growth, further improvement in
HFLs EBITDA margin and possible reduction in discounting levels.

estimates lower and for FY19, we have slightly increased our estimates.

TAMO reported better than expected results in 2QFY18 driven by improved
operational performance in standalone business and at JLR. Consolidated revenue
increased by 11% YoY to Rs707bn. EBITDA margin at JLR came at 11.8%, 95bps
and 391 bps higher YoY and QoQ respectively. Adjusted consolidated PAT grew
by 50% YoY (reported PAT was up by 200% YoY). Going ahead, the company
indicated that margin pressure at JLR will continue in 2HFY18. Further JLR volumes
in 3QFY18 are expected to stay subdued on account of model run-out (ahead of
new launch) and weak demand in certain geographies. However, over the medium
to longer term, we expect JLR volume growth to stay healthy. Reduction in hedge
losses is expected to support JLR margins in FY19. In the standalone business, the
management remains focused on turning around the performance, which in our
view will take some more quarters. We retain BUY on the stock with unchanged
price target of Rs514.

Standalone result highlights

Standalone revenue grew by 35% YoY to Rs139bn. Company reported strong
22% YoY volume growth in domestic passenger car and commercial vehicle
segment. Average selling price increased 19% YoY on the back of product mix
change with passenger and commercial vehicle segment and higher share of
commercial vehicle volume in the mix. Discounts increased by 15-20% YoY in
the CV segment.
On account of rising input cost, higher discounts and product mix change, gross
margin declined during the quarter. From 27.8% in 2QFY17, reported gross
margins dipped to 25.8% in 2QFY18.
Employee cost remained flat YoY and QoQ. Other expenses during the quarter
remained broadly under control when compared YoY and QoQ as the company
focused on cost reduction.
Despite lower gross margins, the company reported increase in EBITDA margin.
Operational leverage from strong revenue growth led to EBITDA margin
expanding from 2.6% in 2QFY17 to 5.2% in 2QFY18. In 1QFY18, TAMO
reported negative EBITDA in its standalone business.
Loss for the quarter came from Rs6.3bn in 2QFY17 and Rs4.7bn in 1QFY18 to
2.9bn. Strong operational performance led to net loss coming down for the
company.

JLR Result Highlights

JLR reported better than expected operational performance in 2QFY18. JLR
revenue in the quarter was GBP6.322mn, 12% higher YoY. While volume grew
by 6%, average selling price moved up by 5.5% on account of product/market
mix.
Gross margins declined YoY from 38.5% in 2QFY17 to 36.7% in 2QFY18
probably due to higher raw material cost and also impacted by higher
incentives. Other expenses was lower YoY partly due to reduction in warranty
expense.
EBITDA margin for the quarter was 11.8%, higher YoY and QoQ. Lower
employee and other expenses supported margins during the quarter. Realized
hedge loss during the quarter was GBP343mn as against loss of GBP276mn in
2QFY17 and GBP454mn in 1QFY18. Margins also received support from
turnaround initiatives in the standalone business.
Depreciation charges increased led by new launches and capex. During the
quarter, JLR reported foreign exchange gain of GBP69mn (includes mark to
market of unrealized forex options and commodity hedges and revaluation of
long term foreign currency debt) as against forex gain of GBP50mn in 2QFY17.
JLR share of profit in China JV stood at GBP61mn as against GBP33mn in
2QFY17. Exceptional item of GBP438mn in 1QFY18 is credit relating to changes

Consolidated Result
TAMOs consolidated results were better than expected. Standalone business and
JLR reported healthy revenue growth. On a consolidated basis, revenue grew by
11% YoY to Rs707bn. EBITDA margin at JLR and standalone business was better
than expectation. At the consolidated level, EBITDA margin improved YoY and
QoQ to 12.6%. PAT for the quarter increases strongly YoY.
Outlook
TAMOs standalone operations performance in 2QFY18 improved on the back
of strong performance in the commercial vehicle segment. While we expect
volume growth in the commercial vehicle business to remain healthy, the
growth rate witnessed in 2QFY18 (26% YoY growth) is not expected to
continue. In the passenger car business, company is trying to improve its
performance through new products. We expect the company will take more
quarters to meaningfully improve in its performance in the passenger vehicle
segment.
JLR volume growth will continue to be driven by new product launches.
Currently, certain markets are facing growth challenges. However company
remains optimistic on new products to support growth. Higher volumes will
provide positive operating leverage and help JLR witness margin improvement
over 1QFY18. Given weakness in US and UK, incentives at JLR is expected to
stay at elevated levels in the near to medium term.
We retain BUY rating on Tata On electric vehicle, JLR will launch its first battery EV in mid-2018. Further
Motors with a price target of company will also offer plug-in hybrids in 18MY Range Rover and Range Rover
Rs.514 Sport by the end of 2017. From 2020, all JLR vehicles will offer electric options
(mild hybrids/plug in hybrids/battery).
As of 2QFY18, total pre-tax hedge reserve was GBP1.09bn (of which
GBP793mn relates to next 12 months). Assuming GBP does not witness any
major movement, company is expected to witness improvement in EBITDA
margin and earnings for the company
We retain BUY on the stock with unchanged price target of Rs514. We have
valued the standalone business / JLR (including China JV) / other subsidiaries at
Rs57/ Rs433 /Rs24 respectively.

Results for the quarter were ahead of our expectations owing to better than

by sand unavailability which can continue to weigh on stock performance in near
term. However these issues are likely to get resolved soon with alternative options
of procuring sand.
Along with this, with upcoming election schedule in AP/Telangana, we expect

Revenue growth marginally ahead of our estimates

Companys revenues for the quarter are not comparable due to amalgamation of
Trinetra Cement and Trishul Concrete Ltd. Revenue growth of 11% YoY was led
by 12.6% YoY growth in cement dispatches and 1.2% YoY decline in cement
realizations. Cement dispatches (including clinker) in Q2FY18 stood at 2.701 MT
(up 12.6% YoY). Revenue from cement segment stood at Rs 12.59 bn while freight
revenues stood at Rs 44 mn, infra revenues of Rs 33 mn and wind mill revenues at

Rs 46 mn for Q2FY18. On like to like comparison, including Trinethra volumes, the
growth in volumes was largely flat during the quarter.
Demand in the southern region was impacted by issues such as GST roll out, RERA
implementation as well as sand unavailability. Sand unavailability continues to
impact the construction activity in Tamil Nadu. Developers tried to use M-sand
(manufactured sand) as against river sand as an alternative option but it is not
accepted well by individual house buyers, thereby resulting in delay in construction
activities. River sand prices have almost doubled so far while M sand is available at
relatively cheaper rate. We believe these issues may continue to impact demand
scenario in Tamil Nadu for one more quarter and expect some resolution by
Q4FY18 as government is aware about the situation.
Overall demand growth during Q2FY18 stood at negative 14 percent in TN while
AP/Telangana witnessed +8 percent growth and Karnataka +4 percent growth. We
believe that with continued focus of government on infrastructure, low cost
housing and also significant demand from AP/Telangana, demand growth should
start reviving over medium to long term.
We maintain our estimates and expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 9.1%
between FY17-19.
Operating margin decline is due to higher costs

Operating margin for Q2FY18 witnessed a decline on YoY basis mainly due to
higher power and fuel and freight costs. However, other expenditure has witnessed
a decline on both yearly and sequential basis due to lower advertising, overhead
expenses. Along with this, during Q1FY18, there was maintenance done at few
plants which was not seen during Q2FY18 and hence lower other expenditure.
EBITDA for cement division stood at Rs 1793 mn while for freight, EBITDA was 16
mn and for wind mill, EBITDA was Rs 46 mn, for infra the EBITDA was negative Rs
40.6mn. Thus, EBITDA per tonne for cement stands at Rs 664 as against Rs 892 in
Q2FY18.

During H1FY18, company fulfilled nearly 81% of coal requirement via pet coke
with average price of around $90-95 per tonne and Q2FY18 average was $92 per
tonne. Current prevailing prices are around $105 per tonne. So this can result in
power and fuel cost per tonne remaining at similar levels going forward for the
company.
The staff cost has been moving up since Q1FY18 due to provisioning of ESOP cost
on the basis of difference between grant value and market value as at the end of
the quarter. Company would continue to make provisions for ESOPs every quarter
as per the norms of accounting standard.
We revise our estimates to factor in H1FY18 performance which was impacted by

sand mining issues and low demand. We expect margins to be around
16.1%/16.8% for FY18/19 respectively. (17.5%/17.8% estimated for FY18/19
earlier). Any uptrend in cement prices is likely to provide margin improvement
going forward.
Net profit performance ahead of our estimates

Net profit performance came ahead of our estimates owing to lower than expected
reduction in margins. We revise our estimates to factor in H1FY18 performance
and expect net profits to grow to Rs 1.9bn/Rs 2.9 bn for FY18/19 respectively.

Result Highlights
In Q2FY18, BAEL net revenues stood at Rs 9.3 Bn (de-grew 6.1% YoY, flat YoY
adjusted for GST) due to lower volumes in the consumer business. Company
reported operating margin at 4.6% against 4.5% in Q2FY17.
Consumer durable division reported revenues at Rs 5.1 Bn against Rs 5.6 Bn in
Q2FY17.
Sales in consumer division were adversely impacted by 1/ change in distributors
incentive systems (implementation of RREP; discussed below) and 2/ lack of
momentum at the dealer level due to GST transition. Lighting division continued
to observe transition from traditional lighting/CFL to LED based solutions.
EBIT Margin for the segment stood at 5.6% against 2% in Q2FY17. Management
mentioned that the RREP roll out has been encouraging so far and company would
likely report recovery from 2HFY18 onwards.
E&P segment, revenues stood at Rs 4.2 Bn (down 4.1% YY) with EBIT margins at
3.5% against 7.5% in Q2FY17. We note that most of the loss making legacy orders
in E&P segment is over and company would maintain superior margins in the
segment going ahead. However, in Q2FY18 execution/margins in the segment
were affected by GST transition. Current order book in E&P segment stands at c.
33.8 Bn currently.

RREP program should get implemented over the period of next two years
BAEL launched RREP (Retail reach expansion program) in FY16 to reach out to
dealers more efficiently as against traditional wholesaler based model of selling.
The RREP programs (TOC-Theory of constraints based model) is currently under
implementation and has had diminishing effect on companys primary sales over
the last few quarters. Management has earlier highlighted that TOC model would
start yielding benefits (partially) form FY18 onwards. However, full benefits from
TOC based distribution model are expected to materialize from FY18.
Management believes that TOC based RREP model would provide benefits in terms
of 1) improved engagement with dealers, 2) establish efficient feedback
mechanism, 3) expand product reach for premium/newly launched products and
4) achieve lower inventory levels.
Under RREP (where supply chain is highly centralized) company is optimistic of
seeking benefits from 1) improved purchases in terms of bulk buying, 2) savings
from lower investment in ideal inventory (slow moving products) and 3) reduction
in discounts offered to large wholesalers.
As a second step under TOC based selling, company would aim at increasing sales
and expect recovery from FY18 onwards. We suspect that the company has lost
market share in the past few quarters (reflected in companys poor sales in last few
quarters vis--vis competitors). As of now, TOC covers nearly 35% of distributors
and should reach 45-50% by the end of current fiscal. Management expects to
achieve over 90% TOC rollout by FY18.
We note that in the past, some of the other competitors have also made attempts
to realign the distributor discounts. For instance, in FY16 Havells too has averted
the practice of offering additional discounts to the large distributors and had
experiences temporary fall in sales. However, we fail to identify any major players
who have completely done away with wholesalers based selling. Most of the
players, we believe have resorted to a combination (40-60 or 50-50) of wholesalers
and direct selling model. We therefore believe that the company would have to be
swift and efficient in ramping up sales (by means of aggressive advertising
campaigns to create demand pull) post full commencement of RREP and regain
lost market share. We believe that the successful rollout of RREP is critical for the
company and remain watchful of the developments and progress made in this
direction.

Key Risks and Concerns

We believe the key risk to our valuation are as follows:
Geo-political risk: Any gas supply disruption from Qatar can have meaningful
impact on the earnings. Though current situation is under control.
Availability of LNG at reasonable prices on a long term basis has remained a key
worry.
Regulatory risk: Any capping of margins by PNGRB will negatively impact its
earnings and growth. However, management has indicated that imported LNG
does not fall under the preview of PNGRB.
Project execution risk.
Result Analysis
Revenue and realization: PLNGs revenue for Q2FY18 was at Rs.77.7 bn which
is up 21% on sequential basis (lower LNG prices) and 17.5% yoy. In Q2FY18,
PLNG processed highest-ever quantity of RLNG at 220 TBTUs, higher by 14.6%
qoq and 16.5% yoy. Kochi terminal operated at 15.4% of its capacity with 10
TBTUs of LNG.
Raw material cost: Raw material cost (RLNG) for Q2FY18 was at Rs.67.4 bn
higher 22% sequentially and 17% yoy. Raw material as a percentage of sales
has increased 60 bps qoq to 86.8% due to higher spot RLNG prices. In Q2FY18,
average cost of gas under contract with RasGas was between $6-7/mmbtu.
Net-back (Net revenue less raw material cost): Net-back for Q2FY18 was at
Rs.10.3 bn up 16% qoq and 20% yoy mainly on account of significantly higher
volumes and better realisation.

Staff cost: Employee cost decreased significantly 28% qoq (base effect) to
Rs.194 mn (7.5% yoy). Employee cost for Q1FY18 includes one-time provision.
Other expenditure decreased meaningfully 7% qoq (despite lower base) to
Rs.1.1 bn (+1% yoy). Other expenditure as a percentage of sales decreased
40bps qoq and 20 bps yoy to 1.41%.
Operating profit (EBIDTA): For Q2FY18, the operational profit increased 21%
qoq to Rs.8.99 bn (+24% yoy). The company recorded EBIDTA margin of
11.6% increased 60 bps yoy but flat sequentially.
Depreciation: In Q2FY18, PLNGs depreciation cost has increased by 1% qoq
and 21% yoy to Rs.1 bn. The company had earlier capitalized Dahej phase-III A
storage tanks.
In Q2FY18, finance cost reduced 16% yoy to Rs.465 mn (flat qoq) mainly due
to debt repayment. Earlier, PLNG has replaced its rupee loan of ~Rs 10.32 bn
(average cost 11% annually) with lower cost unsecured bonds of Rs 10 bn
(~9% annually) placed in the Indian market. We expect interest cost to come
down further due to debt reduction.
PBT for Q2FY18 was at Rs.8.5 bn up 28% on sequential basis and 26% yoy on
account of higher operating income and other income.
Income tax: The Company paid tax of Rs.2.6 bn (at an average rate of 30.8%
in Q2FY18 v/s 34% in Q2FY17 and 32.1% in Q2FY17). This includes deferred
tax liability of Rs.356 mn.
PAT for Q2FY18 was at Rs.5.9 bn significantly up by 35% qoq and 28% yoy on
account of higher revenues, higher other income and lower taxes. The
Company reported quarterly EPS of Rs.3.93 and CEPS of Rs.4.6.
Valuation & Recommendation

We maintain ACCUMULATE rating We expect PLNG to report an EPS of Rs.14.1 for FY18E and an EPS of Rs.15 for
on Petronet LNG with a price target FY19E. We expect FY18E to be better driven by acceleration in volume growth,
of Rs.285 supported by expansion. At CMP, we believe that the stock is reasonably valued at
17.7x FY19E earnings. We maintain accumulate rating on the stock with a revised
price target of Rs.285/- including equity value of 26% stake in Dahej Port.
Company back ground:

Petronet LNG is India's largest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at its Dahej
plant. It has expanded the Dahej capacity to 15 mmtpa.
PLNG has a firm supply contract with Qatar's RasGas for 8.5 mmtpa for which it
has a back-to-back sales contract. It also imports LNG on a spot basis depending
on its ability to market the same in domestic market.
Similarly, it also imports cargos on behalf of other importers for a fee. The company
currently charges Rs 42.57 per MMBTU as regasification charges, which are set to
go up 5% every year in January.

Notes:
LNG is natural gas in its highly compact liquid form. When natural gas is cooled to
minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit (or minus 162 degrees Celcius), it is reduced to one
six-hundredth of its original volume and becomes a clear, non-toxic liquid. LNG
offers a safe and economical means for transporting natural gas over long
distances to locations beyond the reach of pipelines. LNG is loaded on specialized
ships and delivered to a regas- sification terminal where it is reheated, turned into
gas and distributed to customers through a pipeline network.
RESULT UPDATE MAHANAGAR GAS LTD (MGL)

Sumit Pokharna PRICE: RS.1157 RECOMMENDATION: SELL
+91 22 6218 6438
MGLs Q2FY18 result is marginally lower than our expectations. PAT has increased
22% yoy but flat sequentially to Rs.1.25 bn (vs. our expectation of Rs.1.26 bn).
Gross margin has decreased 1% qoq (partly base effect) to Rs.2.97 bn (+19% yoy)
due to lower realization. Another important factor to monitor is EBIDTA per unit
of sales. The same has decreased 7.5% qoq (partly base effect) to Rs.8.05/scm
(+21% yoy).
We expect MGL to book CNG gas volume of ~1.92 mmscmd and PNG volume of
0.83 mmscmd in FY18E. Similarly, we model CNG gas volume of ~2.0 mmscmd
and PNG volume of 0.84 mmscmd in FY19E. MGL will set up 20 new CNG stations
in FY18E. We expect an EPS of Rs.49.3 & cash EPS of Rs.62.8 for FY18E and an EPS
of Rs.51.7 & cash EPS of Rs.66.7 for FY19E. Based on our estimates, the stock at
current market price is trading at 11.8x EV/EBIDTA and 22.4x P/E on FY19E
earnings. We maintain SELL recommendation on MGL with a DCF based price
target of Rs.1033 (earlier Rs.1006).

Key Risk and Concerns:

In CNG - majority of outlets are owned and operated by OMC's in which
company shares Rs.2.74/kg margins to OMC's
Any meaningful slowdown in CNG conversion can impact the earnings
In PNG - cheaper availability of alternative fuels in industrial/commercial

segment can affect the margin and volume growth.
Result Analysis
Revenue: Revenue for Q2FY18 stands at Rs. 5.88 bn, up 1% sequentially and
3% yoy basis, reflecting higher sales volume. Combined gas sales volume has
increased 6.5% qoq to 249 mmscm. Blended average realization has decreased
5.3% qoq to Rs.23.64/scm (-1% yoy) mainly due to lower realization in both
CNG and PNG segment.
Sales Volume: During Q2FY18, MGL sold ~135 mn kg of CNG thereby
registering a growth of 7% on sequential basis and 3% yoy. MGL sold 65
mmscm of PNG in Q2FY18 showing growth of 5% qoq and 6% yoy.
Segment wise revenue analysis: In Q2FY18, CNG segment registered a revenue
of Rs.4.3 bn, up 2.4% qoq but flat yoy due to lower realization. Similarly, PNG
segment has registered revenue of Rs.1.6 bn resulting in a revenue de-growth
of 2.5% qoq but growth of 10% yoy.
Raw Material Cost: The raw material cost has increased 2% qoq to Rs.2.37 bn
(-12% yoy) partly due to higher imported gas. The raw material cost as a
percentage of revenue is up 60 bps qoq to 40.3% (-680 bps yoy).
In order to meet the rising domestic demand of natural gas, MGL not only
sources KG-D6 gas and Administered price mechanism (APM) gas but also
sources higher priced long-term RLNG as well as spot RLNG. Decline in RLNG
and domestic gas prices yoy basis led to decline in raw material cost. We would
like to highlight here that the gas supplied by RIL and ONGC is fixed by
government in US dollar terms. Hence, any rupee depreciation increases the
cost for MGL and vice-a-versa.
Employee expenses: In absolute terms, employee cost has decreased 4.5% qoq
(partly base effect) to Rs.167 mn (+11% yoy). We believe staff cost is within
acceptable range.
Other expenses: Other expenses has increased 1.3% qoq to Rs.800 mn (6.4%
yoy) presumably due to higher maintenance activity, higher volumes and partly
higher base.
Operating profit: In absolute terms, EBIDTA stands at Rs.2 bn down 2% qoq
mainly due to lower gross margin. Another important factor to monitor is
EBIDTA per unit of sales. The same has decreased 7.5% qoq (partly base effect)
to Rs.8.05/scm (+21.4% yoy).
Operating Margins: In Q2FY18, the EBIDTA margin stood at 34.1%, which is
up 660 bps qoq and 80 bps sequentially.

Business Background:
Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL) was incorporated on 8th May 1995 with the objective
of supplying natural gas as compressed natural gas (CNG) and piped natural gas
(PNG) in Mumbai and the adjoining areas. MGL is a joint venture between GAIL
(India) Ltd and BG Group, UK. Recently, Royal Dutch Shell acquired BG group plc.
Hence, Shell has become the ultimate holding company of all the BG Group
companies, including that of BG Asia Pacific Holdings Pte. Limited (BGAPH). MGLs
IPO came in June16 and was entirely an offer for sale of 24.7 mn shares (25%
stake) by the promoters GAIL and BG Asia Pacific Holdings PTE Ltd (12.3 mn shares
each).

growth of 9% yoy and 4% on sequential basis. IGL sold 120 mmscm of PNG in
Q2FY18 showing growth of 18% yoy and 11% qoq. The Company has sub-divided
face value of Rs.10/- into 5 equity share having a face value of Rs.2/-. We have
adjusted the same in our model.
We expect demand for CNG to increase due to the odd-even scheme that will be
brought in Delhi from November 13-17. This decision comes in the wake of rising
pollution and breathing problems in Delhi.

Result Analysis
Net Revenue: Net revenue for Q2FY18 stands at Rs. 12.5 bn, up 7%
sequentially and 16% yoy basis. Combined gas sales volume has increased 8%
qoq and 14% yoy to 480 mmscm. Blended average realization has increased
by 2% yoy to Rs. 25.9/scm (-0.5% qoq).
Sales Volume: During Q2FY18, IGL sold 257 mn kg of CNG thereby registering
a growth of 9% yoy and 4% on sequential basis. IGL sold 120 mmscm of PNG
in Q2FY18 showing growth of 18% yoy and 11% qoq.
Segment wise revenue analysis: In Q2FY18, CNG segment registered revenue
of Rs.9.6 bn, 7% qoq and 14% qoq supported by volume growth. Similarly,
PNG segment has registered revenue of Rs. 2.8 bn resulting in a revenue growth
of 24% yoy and 9% sequentially supported by significant increase in volumes.
Raw Material Cost: The raw material cost has increased 8% qoq to Rs.5.9 bn
(+11% yoy) mainly on account of rise in RLNG prices and higher offtake. The
raw material cost as a percentage of revenue is up 40 bps qoq to 47.6% (-230
bps yoy). In order to meet the rising domestic demand of natural gas, IGL not
only sources KG-D6 gas and Administered price mechanism (APM) gas but also
sources higher priced long-term RLNG as well as spot RLNG. We would like to
highlight here that the price of gas supplied by RIL and ONGC is fixed by
government in US dollar terms. Hence any rupee depreciation increases the cost
for IGL and vice-a-versa.
Employee expenses: The staff cost (as a percentage of sales) has decreased 10
bps qoq/yoy basis to 2.1%. In absolute terms, employee cost has increased
3.1% qoq and 10% sequentially to Rs.259 mn. We believe staff cost is within
acceptable range.
Other expenses: Other expense has increased by 14% qoq (partly base effect)
and 33% yoy to Rs. 2.3 bn mainly due to mainly due to implementation of GST
w.e.f. 1st July 2017 and increase in minimum wages in March17 by Rs. 140
mn each.
Operating profit: In absolute terms, EBIDTA stands at Rs.2.8 bn up 1.5% qoq
(base effect) and 18% yoy. Sequential increase in operating profit is mainly due
to higher revenues. Another important factor to monitor is EBIDTA per unit of
sales. The same has decreased 6% qoq to Rs.5.86/scm (+3.3% yoy).
Operating Margins: In Q2FY18, the EBIDTA margin stood at 22.6%, which is
down 130 bps qoq but up 30 bps yoy due to meaningful increase in volume.
Other income of the company has increased significantly by 40% qoq (partly
base effect) and 18% yoy to Rs.250 mn. Other income consists of interest
income and tax-free dividend.
Non-cash charges: The depreciation cost has increased 3% qoq (base effect)
and 7% yoy to Rs.450 mn.
PBT for Q2FY18 is at Rs.2.6 bn up 20% yoy and 4% on a sequential basis mainly
on account of higher operating profit.
Bottom line for Q2FY18 is at Rs.1.69 bn up 5% qoq and 17% yoy thereby
translating into Q2FY18 EPS of Rs.2.4 and CEPS of Rs.3.1. IGL has 50% stake
in CUGL and MNGL each. The combined profit of both the entities for Q2FY18
is Rs. 410 mn. (IGL Share is Rs. 210 mn).

We maintain SELL on We expect IGL to book CNG gas volume of ~1032 mn Kgs and PNG volume of 477
Indraprastha Gas Ltd with a mmscm in FY18E. We model CNG gas volume of ~1145 mn Kgs and PNG volume
price target of Rs.291 of 549 mmscm in FY19E. We expect an EPS of Rs.11.1 & cash EPS of Rs.13.7 for
FY18E and an EPS of Rs.12.9 & cash EPS of Rs.15.6 for FY19E. Based on our
estimates, the stock at current market price of Rs.310 is trading at 15x EV/EBIDTA
and 24.1x P/E on FY19E earnings. We believe that stock is expensively valued at
current price and hence we maintain SELL rating on IGL with DCF based revised
price target of Rs.291 reflecting better sales volume booked in H1FY18 and
potential rise in CNG demand due to re-introduction of odd-even scheme.
Business Background

Mirza International Ltd Q2FY18 results were below our estimates on weak exports.
Net revenue for the quarter declined 4% YoY to Rs 2.4 bn on account of 20% yoy
decline in footwear exports business while domestic branded business grew by
77% yoy. MIL is focused on growing its domestic brand business through Redtape
sports, mid-range products under Bond Street brand and a new brand to be
launched in ladies sports shoes segment. The company has maintained its guidance
to double its revenue in domestic brand business (Redtape exiting+ Bondstreet +
Redtape sports) to Rs 4.5 bn in FY18. The exports for the quarter declined sharply
by 20% primarily due to weak demand in UK market. The management expects
improvement in exports business in coming quarter based on orders for Q3FY18
and targets to close FY18 exports revenue with marginal decline of 2-4%. We are
positive on long term growth story of the company based on increasing focus on
domestic market, but near term challenges in exports business is impacting the
overall growth of the company. We also need to watch the performance of
Bondstreet and Redtape sports shoes for FY18 which would play key role in
achieving FY18 guidance. We maintain our EPS estimates and Reduce rating on
the stock with revised target price of Rs 173 (Vs Rs 163 earlier) (assigned 17x on
FY19E EPS of Rs 10.2).

Q2FY18 revenue missed estimates on weak exports

Net revenue for the quarter declined by 4% yoy to Rs 2.4 Vs estimates of Rs 2.8
bn on account of 20% yoy decline in footwear exports business while domestic
branded business grew by 77% yoy. The overall exports (including Redtape brand
sales in exports) for the quarter declined sharply by 20% yoy primarily due to weak
demand in UK, while other markets it improved. Poor performance of Redtape
brand business in exports also affected the exports revenue. Redtape exports
revenue in the quarter declined by 44% yoy to Rs 200 mn as against last years Rs
360 mn. The management expects improvement in exports business in coming
quarter based on pickup in orders and maintained guidance of 2-4% decline in

FY18 exports.
Domestic branded business remained robust

Domestic brand business witnessed 77% yoy growth in Q2FY18 on strong
performance in shoes and apparel segment. Besides this, new products and brands
also contributed to the domestic brand sales. MIL has launched new products in
sport segment under brand name Redtape and mid-range products under brand
name Bondstreet. The company has not shared numbers for Bondstreet and
Redtape exports in the quarter and would report the same at the end of the year.
These products are expected to pick-up further in the coming quarters, as the
company targets over Rs 1.5 bn of sales from these two. The company has
maintained its guidance to double its revenue of domestic brand business (Redtape
existing+ Bondstreet + Redtape sports) in FY18 to Rs 4.5 bn. The new
products/brands are expected to contribute meaningfully from Q3FY18. Further, it
is also planning to launch new brand in ladies sports footwear category (Price range
Rs 3500-4000) in Q4FY18.
Guided for over 18% EBITDA Margins in FY18

EBITDA for the quarter grew by 12% yoy to Rs 424 mn (Vs estimates of Rs 491
mn) with EBITDA margins at 17.7 (vs estimates of 17.5%). The EBITDA margins
improved on a low base of last year. The EBIT margins in branded shoes business
was strong at 21.3% (Vs 16.6% in Q2FY17). Even in non-branded business also it
remained strong at 19.4% (Vs 18.3% in Q2FY17). Further, the employee expenses
also grew by 36.5% yoy on account of job work charges on certain processes
booked under other expenses has been executed in-house and shifted to employee
expenses. The company is targeting EBITDA margins to be over 18% in FY18. The
margins in exports business is 17-18% while in domestic, it is higher at 20% which
would help in further improvement in EBITDA margins in a longer run.
PAT for the quarter grew by 17.5%

PAT for the quarter grew 17.5% to Rs 193 mn and was below our estimates on
lower sales. The finance expenses for the quarter declined by 18.6% yoy to 53 mn
but may increase in Q3 as the debt at the end of the quarter grew to Rs 2.05 bn
in Q2FY18 (Vs 1.5 bn in Q1FY18) due to increased working capital. Further, it has
Rs 1.8 bn limit for receivable discounting on exports side. The company has Rs
200mn of capex budget for H2FY18 including maintenance capex at the existing
units. It has 144 EBOs and intends to take it to 180-190 outlets by FY18 end.
Outlook and valuation

We are positive on long term growth story of the company based on increasing
focus on domestic market with new products/brands introduced in recent time.
But its exports business is facing challenges and is impacting the overall growth of
the company. We also need to watch the performance of Bondstreet and Redtape
sports shoes in H2FY18 which would key role in achieving FY18 guidance. We
maintain our EPS estimates.
Based on FY18E and FY19E EPS of Rs 7.7 and Rs 10.2, the stock is trading at PE of
We maintain REDUCE rating on 21.6x and 16.3x respectively and is available at a discount to its peers in the
Mirza International Ltd with a price footwear business. There is scope for re-rating in the stock, if exports business
target of Rs.173 recovers to normal growth and domestic brand business grows as per estimates.
We maintain our Reduce rating on the stock considering limited upside over our
revised target price of Rs 173 (Vs Rs 163 earlier), based on 17x (Vs 16x earlier, due
to strong performance in domestic business) on FY19E EPS of Rs 10.2.

ritwik.rai@kotak.com
+91 22 6218 6426
Venkys India 2QFY18 earnings surprised positively, as gross margins came in
higher than estimates, and the sharp decline in debt led to lower interest expense
outgo. Reported EBITDA/ PAT came in 22%/33% ahead of estimates. Gross margin
outlook for the company continues to be favorable as: 1/ input prices (maize, and
soya) continue to be favorable, 2/ output prices continue to be robust, and 3/
product mix continues to improve (higher sale of chicks versus broilers). We raise
our FY18/FY19 EPS estimates by 8%/5%. We also think that the sharp net debt
reduction affected by the company (over Rs 1.5 Bn net debt reduced over the past
six months, helped by profit generation as well as more efficient working capital
management) provides reason for greater comfort in earnings, and also provides
the company a better platform to explore options of greater B2C play over the
medium/ long-term. We raise our target valuation multiple to~ 16X FY19E PER
(15X earlier), and arrive at a fresh (August, 2018) price target of Rs 3000. Maintain
BUY.

Results Summary
At the outset, we would like to note that 2Q is a seasonally weak quarter for
Venkys, as certain religious events tend to depress prices of chicken in the
quarter. As such, only y/y comparisons are useful for the company.
Venkys reported revenues Rs 5.88 Bn, marginally below our estimates.

Research
Outlook and Investment View
Venkys continues to benefit from a favorable gross margin environment. Recent
data on rates indicates that prices of chicks continues to be relatively high. Rates
of broilers present a mixed picture while Punjab broiler rates have risen 12% in
October, Mumbai rates have declined about 7%. Prices of chicks in the last two-
three months indicate that there is an expectation that the prices of broilers shall
rise in the near-term. On an aggregated basis, we expect price changes to be
positive, along with healthy volume growth. Soya prices/ corn prices continue to
be benign.

We raise our EBITDA estimates upward to account for the positive surprise in
2QFY18, and higher gross margins over FY18/FY19. Our FY18/FY19 EBITDA
estimates are revised upward by 5%/4%. Due to lower interest expenses (relative
to prior estimates, sharp reduction in debt), our EPS estimates are revised upward
by 8%/5% for FY18/FY19.
We are encouraged by the sharp reduction in debt that the company has affected
over the past two quarters. The net debt has declined by over Rs 1.5 Bn since March
2017, financed by profits generated (PAT generated for 1HFY18 is Rs 791 mn) as
well as a significant reduction in working capital (working capital requirement has
been reduced by Rs 852 mn). Since initiation on Venkys, we have pointed that the
company high debt over the period 2011-2016 has been a cause of concern for
investors. Further, in our opinion, high debt of the company over these years had
led to a rise in perceived volatility of earnings, and also stunted the companys
efforts to experiment with a B2C model. 2QFY18 balance sheet provides further
reasons to believe that the company shall be debt-free by FY-19 end. We believe
the sharp reduction in debt affected by the company in FY17, and now further in
1HFY18, augurs well for the valuation of the stock.
Longer-term potential for Venkys (secular growth in chicken consumption,
We maintain BUY on Venkys India possible curtailments on beef consumption, and movement towards a higher B2C,
with a price target of Rs.3000 processed chicken mix), is combining well with consistent earnings momentum (on
a y/y basis) in the near/ medium term. Institutional ownership of the stock remains
low (c. 3.6%, as of September), providing further reason to believe there is room
for expansion in valuations, likely to 16X FY19E PER, over the next 6-9 months. We
raise our target multiple on Venkys to ~16X FY19E PER (earlier ~15X FY19E PER).
Our price target stands revised to Rs 3000 (Rs 2650 earlier), on the back of an
expectation of further re-rating and an upward revision in earnings estimates.
Risks include industry level risks such as sharp rise in input/ decline in output prices,
and adverse news-flow on avian flu and the like. We further note that the
companys annual report states that the downside to financial statements, if any,
that may arise from the proceedings initiated against the company by the IT
department in May, 2017, is not ascertainable.

Quarter-on-quarter performance is not relevant for this company as it is engaged in plantation business, which normally
makes maximum losses in the September quarter;
Losses of BBTC on standalone basis should not be a cause of concern to the investors as this company didnt make any
significant profits in the last 4 years. In fact, in the last two financial years (FY2016 and FY2017), it made significant
losses, still the stock price of BBTC moved up almost 4-fold since April 2015. This is mainly due to the fact that the
market cap of BBTC is highly correlated with that of Britannia, rather than on its standalone business performance. BBTC
stock has become a play on growing value of its rich investments in Britannia;
BBTC publishes consolidated results (incorporating the profits of Britannia) only along with the March quarterly results.
Since Britannia profit accounts for over 90% of consolidated profits of BBTC, we expect very impressive growth in
consolidated net profit of BBTC for the whole of FY2018 on improved earnings from Britannia with recovery in rural
spending this year;
We have been banking on BBTC primarily for its investments in Britannia and value of its land bank. Now BBTC trades
at around 61% discount to its investments in Britannia as against the average of holding companies (HCs) discount
which stands at around 50%. We continue to believe that this discount would come down further or there could be
unlocking potential in the long-term and hence, we continue to suggest a BUY on this stock.

Why be believe BBTC deserves less discount?

95% of BBTCs total investment value comes from Britannia. For most HCs, they come from several companies
theoretically speaking, unlocking possibility from a single investment is relatively higher;
Most HCs hold shares of firms engaged in diversified and cyclical businesses. However, Britannia is engaged in
consistently growing FMCG business, which enjoys much higher premium in markets;
While many HCs do not have any assets on their own, BBTC has rich assets like huge plantations, and also reportedly
significant land parcels;
Outlook and Valuation

Assuming 50% discount (which is at par to the industry average of around 50%), to the market value of investments it
holds in Britannia and Bombay Dyeing, we arrive at a target price of around Rs.2,025 in the next 6 to 12 months for
BBTC.
Risk to our View

Risk to our view is if there is any possible governance issue in terms of divestment of holdings in Britannia in favour of
any promoters or other Group entities. However, considering the track record of promoters and also the Indias regulatory
environment, we firmly believe that such risk is too low.
