India Cements Ltd (ICL) (Q2 FY11)

India Infoline Research Team / 12:14 , Nov 15, 2010

CMP Rs116, Target Rs126, Upside 8.6%

  • Revenue de-grew by 15.3%, in-line with our estimates. The fall in topline was largely due to drop in realizations, which stood at Rs3,115/ton, down by 20% yoy.  
  • OPM contracted by ~27ppts at 3.6%, below our estimate. The worse than expected decline in margin was due to a surge in international coal prices (up 30-40% yoy basis), which led to higher power and fuel cost.
  • Lower topline coupled with weak operating performance resulted in ICL reporting a pre-exceptional loss of Rs449mn (against our expectation of Rs57mn).
  • Trades close to fair value; Upgrade to Market Performer with a revised price target of Rs126. We value ICL cement business at US$75 EV/ton or Rs95/share for FY11E. This reflects a discount to Ambuja Cement (US$180-EV/Ton for CY11), as ICL will earn only ~20% of its FY10 profits in FY11E. Further, the company may have to raise fresh debt to fund its FCCB obligation due in March 2011.
