Shree Cement Ltd has reported a 47% fall in its December quarter net profit on lower sales as well as 5% degrowth in realization. PAT impacted

Allahabad reported net profit growth of 4.7% YoY to Rs.325 cr largely due muted NII growth and deteriorated asset quality. Bank’s operating
expenses were stable in absoluter term but as cost income ratio increased drastically on account of lower revenue growth. Asset quality has
deteriorated sequentially. Due to lower corporate demand, loan growth remain muted and bank’s lower its total business (Loan + Deposits)
guidance to Rs.340,000 cr from earlier of Rs.360,000 cr. We value bank at Rs.92/share which is 0.4 times of FY14E’s book value. We are not

"NEUTRAL"
24th Jan 2014
As per the management, the quarterly margins differ for every quarter as the project completion cycle is different and hence it is difficult to
capture the EBITDA movement every quarter. Though we agree with the management’s comment, we still believe that there would be some
amount of pressure on the margins on a yearly basis due to risks related to competition, inflation, adverse mix and a slowdown. As regards the
results we are of the opinion that, despite the gloomy scenario the results have been good. Consistent order inflow is a major positive factor.
We expect the sector to witness revival in coming quarters, whereas we see a near term earnings growth muted and look for a better entry
point. Currently we have a neutral view on a stock ......................... ( Page :23)

2. SECTOR ANALYSIS :2 W and 3W 9MFY14 SALES
Industry Overview:
India's automobile sales continued to remain on sluggish trajectory as most of the companies reported a decline in sales number due to
slowdown in economic activity and increasing fuel prices. However, two-wheeler segments continued to grow at a healthy rate, led by
strong rural demand.The contribution of various segment for the 9MFY14 automobiles sales stands as under :
The graph clearly indicates that of total automobiles sold for 9MFY14
the contribution of two wheelers stand at maximum. This trend shows
that slow down in consumer discretionary expenses. The differential
pricing makes people to spend more towards two wheelers more over
people look for option which gives them more mileage for every unit of
fuel. As stated earlier there is growth in rural economy and trend is
clearly visible from the sales made by two wheelers in total
automobiles sold for the period.
(Source: Company/Eastwind)
Two Wheelers
For December 2013, overall auto industry volumes were led by the two-wheeler industry (4% YoY growth). Two Wheelers segment
contribution has increased to 80.2% of the total auto volume, during first nine months of FY14 from 77% in FY 13.The cumulative volume
for 9MFY14 for 2 Wheelers stands at 12489192 units up 5.3% YoY.
Better monsoon benefitted rural demand, while urban sales remained lackluster, which was higher than offsetting the rural growth. With
the festive season ending early in November 2013 this year, the positive momentum seen October 2013 has cooled off with retail sales
largely lagging wholesales. The two-wheeler segment has again managed to keep its head over water even as all other segments have
shown an annual decline with last years' festive season ending later.
Sub Segment Motorcycle
The analysis of previous year’s sales indicates that the three major players viz Heromoto Corp, Bajaj-Auto,TVS Motors have shown
declining performance along with market share loss to both HMSI and Yamaha. The strong rural demand helps to boost the sales of
commuter sub segment (100-125 CC) of motorcycles. The following table shows yearly performance of some of major motorcycle

Sub Segment Scooter
The scooter sub segment grew well led by new launches from Honda (New Activa), Hero (Maestro), TVS (Jupiter) and Suzuki (Swish),
the scooter segment grew at a faster clip of 19% YoY for Apr-Dec'13 period against a flattish (3%) growth in the motorcycle segment.
The faster volume growth of the scooter segment led to a 220bps improvement to 21.2% in its share of the two-wheeler market during
this period. The main drivers for this growth are (a) growing acceptability of gearless scooters, particularly by women, (b) rising
urbanization and increasing proportion of working women and (d) new launches.

3. SECTOR ANALYSIS :2 W and 3W 9MFY14 SALES
Continued…
Scooter sales growth has taken-off since FY10 and has consistently
outgrown that for the motorcycle segment. An increasing population of
working women, mainly in urban markets, has led to rapid sales-volume
growth in this segment. On a longer term perspective, scooter industry
volumes are expected to grow at ~20% CAGR over FY14-20, twice the
growth rate for motorcycles. Overall two wheeler industry volumes are likely
to grow at 12% CAGR during this period. The shares of scooters are
expected to increase to 37% by 2020, with annual sales of 10.7m units
(equal to the current market size of the domestic motorcycle industry).
Three Wheelers
(Source: Company/Eastwind)
In three wheelers universe for the December 2013 Industry domestic volumes were down 21% to 35249 units led by 27% drop in the
passenger segment. There was a 7% rise in the goods carrier segment in Dec 13. Exports registered 11% rise to 33,044 units. This segment
for 9MFY14 registered domestic sales was 364669 units down by 9 % YoY for the same period last fiscal. The exports have done fairly well
for the period with 11 % growth YoY to 33044 units. The three wheeler segment remains flat on YoY to 626749 units for 9MFY14. The three
Wheelers demand largely driven by exports, while domestic sales remained weak.
Bajaj-Auto with 55% market share is the market leader in 3 Wheeler sales in the country. Q1FY14 Domestic 3W sales accounted for 38% of
the company's total 3W sales. Of the total 3W sales, 15-20% came from new permits, while replacement accounts for the rest. On the
domestic 3W front, the outlook remains positive with 20000 permits opening up in Hyderabad (5k already utilized in June-July 2013) and
3000 permits opening up in Maharashtra in Sept-Oct 2013. Also, its plan to launch a renewed range of 3W (RE Compact) promises to drive
replacement demand.
For TVS, 3W sales stood up by 36.8% YoY to 6,137 units with most of it coming from the overseas markets; 3W share to total sales forms
3.8% in December and 3.9% YTD, 150bp higher YoY. The Company is expected to benefit from this as 3W forms a high margin product.On
the other hand, Mahindra & Mahindra's 3w sales were up 7.6% to 5.6k units. Sales were down 5% on a MoM basis.

Given its low ticket size and high rural share, this segment of the auto industry is sure to pick up momentum in the coming months. With
urbanization, rise in women riders, higher fuel efficiency and improving per capita income, the penetration of scooters will continue to
increase and at a pace faster than motorcycles. 2/3 wheeler companies which are the direct beneficiaries of the rural consumption are
expected to remain strong given the buoyant prices for food items, strong monsoon and additional benefits of government doll outs and
largesse.
Conclusion
While the macro-economic environment remains challenging, OEMs have pinned hopes on the bevy of launches that might trigger a
response from customers. Also, the recent cut in the price of petrol might just prove to be a good thing for companies. Additionally, better
crop realization due to a good monsoon and hike in MSP is expected to boost the rural income leading to a sales recovery. Over the long
term, easing macro headwinds in terms of lower interest rates and higher economic growth would be the key driver for volume growth and
profitability.

Volumes grew by18 % but prices came down by 5%. So the EBITDA margin has hit
badly:Shree Cement Ltd has reported a 47% fall in its December quarter net profit on
lower sales as well as 5% degrowth in realization. PAT impacted due to lower other
income (down by 70% YOY), Depriciation burden on EBIDTA (Depriciation increased 41%
YOY). Volumes grew by18 % to3.8mn ton from 3.3mn ton QOQ. Net profit decreased by
47% yoy from Rs.217.44 crore (Rs.62.42 per share) in 2Q13 to Rs.115.49 crore (Rs.33.15
per share) in 2Q14.Total net income from operations stood at Rs.1318.13 crore in 2Q14,
a 6% fall yoy from Rs.1401.23 crore in 2Q13.Other income decreased from Rs.30.2 crore
in 2Q13 to Rs.9.9 crore in 2Q14.In the mean time company declares a Rs.10 as interim
dividend/share.
Power Segment: Realization Down By 15% : For power generation the net realization has
come down from Rs 383 to Rs 334 compared to last year same quarter and in the first
quarter it was still better at Rs 397.So the power realization is down by 13 percent and
hence sales also have come down by 35 percent to Rs.290 Cr. At the same time 14%
increase in its profitability from power segment to Rs112.56 crore while its cement
segment reported 79% fall in its profitability to Rs37.65 crore.
MAT Credit support the buttom line :
During the Quarter Company got MAT (minimum alternative tax) credit entitlement of
Rs9.25 crore and deferred tax of Rs1.79 crore. This reduced total tax payable amount to
Rs15.27 crore from Rs26.31 crore.
Company’s EBIDTA/ton decreased 6% to Rs.712 (vs Rs.756 in previous quarter), at the
same time the Expenditure also decreased 9% to Rs.2757 (vs Rs.3025 in Q1).Hence we
believe that company will outperform among its peers ,once Realization get improve.The
exceptional weakness is there in the cement prices. Volumes have grown by about 18
percent but the prices have come down by 5 percent and naturally the cost increase is
there. So the EBITDA margin has been badly hit .

Management Corner : From mid-January there is a big change in demand scenario
because of the Indian calendar, the prices have improved, the demand has also
improved and they think that January to June some impact of elections will be there pre-election demand and other things. So margins should be better than 21 percent.

Outlook :
From the view company Operations in the high utilisation North and Central markets,
capacity expansions underway, low gearing and strong RoE are fundamental positives.
We believe although, near term challenges in terms of a slowdown in demand for
cement would remain, strong balance sheet and better efficiency in terms of cost
remains a key positive for this company to overcome challenges.Company Management
is bull for the rest two quarters of FY2014 as according to them demand has already
buttom out.We are positive on the stock as it always beats its peers group with lower
operational cost.Shree cement follows a multi brand strategy and sells cement under
the highly recognized brands of Shree Ultra, Bangur and Rockstrong which together
enjoy the largest market share in high value markets of Rajasthan, Delhi and Haryana.
After a good monsoon and election ahead we are expecting a good performance from
shree cement for the H2FY14, thus at CMP Rs.4460/- we are bull at a target Price

Allahabad Bank Vs Nifty
"BUY"
28th Jan, 2014
Allahabad reported net profit growth of 4.7% YoY to Rs.325 cr largely due
muted NII growth and deteriorated asset quality. Bank’s operating expenses
were stable in absoluter term but as cost income ratio increased drastically on
account of lower revenue growth. Asset quality has deteriorated sequentially.
Due to lower corporate demand, loan growth remain muted and bank’s lower
its total business (Loan + Deposits) guidance to Rs.340,000 cr from earlier of
Rs.360,000 cr. We value bank at Rs.92/share which is 0.4 times of FY14E’s
book value. We are not impression with bank’s fundament but current price
provide 15% upside from our target price.
NII growth muted on account of lower loan growth and loan yield
Allahabad bank’s NII grew by 0.4% YoY to Rs.1336 cr versus our expectation of
Rs.1422 cr largely due to lower interest income led by lower than expected loan
growth and loan yield as well. Bank’s deposits growth was also lower than expected
but cost of deposits was almost same in previous quarter. Therefore interest income
was lower than interest expenses which cause muted NII growth. During quarter,
bank’s other income was Rs.542 cr as against Rs.341 cr in last quarter which helped
to report revenue growth of 11% YoY.
CI ratio up drastically in sequential basis but in absolute term it remain
comfortable
Cost to income ratio was higher at 46.3% versus 42.5% in previous quarter largely
due to lower revenue growth. In absolute term operating expenses increased by
2.2% QoQ and 7.3% YoY on which employee cost and other operating expenses
increased by 1% and 22% YoY respectively. With lower operating cost and high
support from other income, operating profit grew by 17.2% YoY to Rs.1008 cr.
Worsen asset quality led by macro environment
During this quarter bank’s asset quality worsen with gross NPA further deteriorated
by 14% QoQ in absolute term while as a percentage to gross advance, this ratio
stood at 5.5% versus 5% in previous quarter. Provisions had increased by 19% on
sequential basis which led net NPA deterioration to 12% QoQ. In percentage term,
net NPA to net advance stood at 4.1% versus 3.8% in previous quarter. Provision
coverage ratio (w/o technical write-off) marginally improved to 24.8% from 23.7% in
2QFY14. During this quarter, bank’s sold Rs.389 cr of non- performing assets to
asset reconstruction companies. Total outstanding restructure at the end of stood at
Rs.12624 cr which is 9.2% of net advance.

Lower business growth target due to absence of corporate loan
Allahabad Bank’s total deposits grew by 10% YoY and advance grew by 13% YoY to
Rs.1875 bn and Rs.1373 bn respectively. Muted growth in loan was on account of lower
borrowing from corporate segment whereas bank reported retail, MSME and priority
sector registered handsome growth. CASA for the quarter stood at 30.8% versus 31.2%
in previous quarter. Bank management lower its FY14’s total business guidance to
340,000 cr from Rs.360,000 cr earlier. Accordingly we lower our loan and deposits growth
to 12% and 9% from earlier of 15% each. Credit deposits ratio was stable at 73.2%.
Lower profit growth because of muted NII growth and deteriorating asset quality
Net profit of Allahabad bank’s grew by 4.7% YoY to Rs.325 cr largely due to muted NII
growth and high provision led by deteriorating asset quality. Due to lower demand from
corporate borrowing, banks reduce its business growth target by 5.5% for FY14. Asset
quality pressure would likely to persist in FY14 which would result of lower valuation
multiple. We lower our book value estimate to Rs. 229.3 from earlier of Rs.254 primarily
due to equity dilution and lower profit expectation in FY14E.

Allahabad reported net profit growth of 4.7% YoY to Rs.325 cr largely due muted NII
growth and deteriorated asset quality. Bank’s operating expenses were stable in
absoluter term but as cost income ratio increased drastically on account of lower revenue
growth. Asset quality has deteriorated sequentially. Due to lower corporate demand, loan
growth remain muted and bank’s lower its total business (Loan + Deposits) guidance to
Rs.340,000 cr from earlier of Rs.360,000 cr. We value bank at Rs.92/share which is 0.4
times of FY14E’s book value. We are not impression with bank’s fundament but current
price provide 15% upside from our target price.

Delivered inline set of numbers but better on all aspects than its peers did :
For 3QFY14, Persistent System’s sales was almost flat (QoQ) in INR term, while grew
2.2% (QoQ) in USD term impacted by seasonality and furloughs impacts. During the
quarter, volume growth from Offshore increased by 3.8% and Onsite volume growth
was flat, sequentially. PAT grew by 5.5% (QoQ)
The management remains confident of FY14 with deal pipeline being strong and
remains focused on increasing the share of IP-led revenues in its portfolio. The
management expects to see more than 15% dollar revenue growth, more than
NASSCOM guidance of 12-14 % for FY14E.
Margin ramp up: During the quarter, Its EBITDA margin improved by 80bps to 24.1%
because of cost rationalization. PAT margin up by 70bps to 14.83%. However,
management expects to maintain margin at 24-25% for FY14E.
On segmental front: The Company’s cash cow segment Infrastructure and System,
which contributes 69% on sales, was flat than previous quarter and Telecom (18%
contribution on sales) was up by 2% sequentially. While, Life Science space (13%
contribution on sales) down marginally by 1% (QoQ).
Geography wise revenue: Because of weak seasonality and furloughs impact, North
America and APAC regions were marginally down by 1-2%(QoQ). The company’s earning
potential from US is 83% and APAC is 11%. While Europe contributes 6% of sales and has
seen tremendous set of growth at 36% (QoQ) led by a large account execution during
the quarter.
Clients Metrics: During the quarter, company added 2 clients(Total 34) under medium
category( >$1mn to $3mn) and no client addition (Total) 16 from large ( > $ 3Mn) .
Revenue contribution from top-1 client declined from 22.5% (2QFY14) to 19.8% and
contribution from top-5 and Top-10 marginally down. DSO at 63days, almost 12
quarters low.
Persistent management suggests that deal pipeline are looking strong and seeing good
activity and traction in the market across the board. Its focus on some of newer
technologies like cloud, analytics and mobility, M2M, digital transformation are
gaining a lot of traction because of pickup in demand environment. Because of actively
investment in these themes, management is very confident to see healthy growth.
View and Valuation: The company’s focus is shifting greater proportion to IP led services
and company has marquee clientele in cutting-edge technologies around cloud,
mobility, collaboration and analytics; witnessing faster growth. Considering the
company’s ability to achieve scale and growth, we upgrade our target price from Rs
960 to Rs 1070 with “BUY” view on the stock. Recently we had advised to book profit
on the stock at a target price of Rs 960. Post 3rd quarter earnings, we upgrade our EPS
for FY15E from Rs 76.9 to Rs 79.1. At a CMP of Rs 994, stock trades at 12.6x FY15E
earnings.

KPIT Tech witnessed weak numbers, now..they will miss its earning guidance;
KPIT Technologies Ltd revealed its 3QFY14 earnings with below than expectation, sales
declined by 3.5%(QoQ) in INR term and 2.3%(QoQ) in USD term due to the delay in
project kick-off and additional loss of billing days in Q3FY14. Despite cost optimization
strategy by company, PAT dip by 9% (QoQ).
Now, Company will be in the position of short with its annual revenue guidance. The
shortfall in the revenue is entirely because of deficit in SAP SBU revenue for FY14.
However, on profit they are confident to exceed the higher end of the guidance
despite the challenges faced on SAP SBU profitability.
The company expects better earnings, confident of generating a positive cash flow for
FY14E, after considering the balance payments for existing M&A deals.
Steady set of margin: EBITDA margin almost flat at 15.3% and PAT margin declined by
50bps to 9%, sequentially. Commenting on margin, management stated that the higher
margin growth business coming up apart from revenue growth would improve the
margins going ahead. By next couple of quarter margin from SAP business would inch
up.
Growth inside the Europe: Europe region has been the leading growth market with
9.1%. During the quarter, USA had a marginal de-growth in USD terms and APAC
declined by 18%(QoQ) because of seasonality and furloughs impact. In INR terms,
Europe grew by 7.7%, US down by 2.5% and APAC 19.4%, on QoQ.
Mix growth across verticals: On INR basis, KPIT reported 8% of growth from Energy &
Utilities (15% contribution on sales), while Manufacturing (39% contribution on sales)
down by 4%(QoQ) and Automotive & Transport-(36% contribution on sales) down by
1.5%, sequentially.
Deal Momentum: There has been good momentum during Q3 across the business lines
in terms of deal closure and pipeline building. Though in 3 large deals there has been
almost a quarter’s delay in closure, two in SAP and one in A&E, that got closed during
Q3. Company closed large deals in excess of USD 70 million during the quarter, which
provides a sound platform, going into FY15E.
View and Valuation: Impressive organic growth despite inorganic thrust (acquired 10
companies in the last 10 yrs), Potential option value from success of its hybrid engine
venture Revolo (on trial). KPIT has targeted to reach $1bn sales by 2017. Its
differentiated positioning and competitive edge in its focus areas, imperatives to the
success of smaller-sized IT vendors impress to investors.
Considering delay executions of some projects for next 2 quarters and ongoing change
in organization structure, we have a “Neutral” view on the stock. Already we had
advised to book profit on 8th Jan 2014 at a target price of Rs177(Initiated at Rs115). Our
view on the stock could be change after favorable update on stock and healthy earning
guidance for FY15E. At a CMP of Rs151, stock trades at 9x FY15E EPS.

Price Performance V/s NIFTY
Construction & engineering major, L&T posted a surprisingly set of numbers for the quarter
ended Dec, 13. The company's net sales grew by a mere 11.8% on a yearly basis to Rs
14387.5crore. The company recurring bottom line witnessing a upstik of 12.15% , and came in
at Rs. 1136.3 crore. the results have been adjusted for the quarter as it transferred
hydrocarbon business to its subsidiary L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering with effect from April 1,
2013. Accordingly, the company restated suitably its earnings for the previous quarter ended
September 2013 and numbers relating to previous periods. However, if we If we consider the
exceptional gains on dilution of part stake in a subsidiary company, the overall PAT grew by
22.1 % during the quarter. While the operational performance has been good, the company
has witnessed good traction in its order book also. Order inflow for the quarter stood at Rs
21722 crore showing a growth of 21% on Y-o-Y basis. The total order book as on December
31st 2013 stood at Rs 171184 crore showing an increase of 13 % on Y-o-Y basis. EBITDA
margins for the Dec 2013 quarter expanded by 180 bps to 11.6% against 9.8% last year.
However, as per the management, the quarterly margins differ for every quarter as the project
completion cycle is different and hence it is difficult to capture the EBITDA movement every
quarter. Though we agree with the management’s comment, we still believe that there would
be some amount of pressure on the margins on a yearly basis due to risks related to
competition, inflation, adverse mix and a slowdown. As regards the results we are of the
opinion that, despite the gloomy scenario the results have been good. Consistent order inflow
is a major positive factor. We expect the sector to witness revival in coming quarters, whereas
we see a near term earnings growth muted and look for a better entry point. Currently we
have a neutral view on a stock.
Why neutral…???
Contribution margin expansion came as a surprise and in our recent meeting the management
attributed it to quarterly skews rather than improvement in project-level profitability. We build
slightly higher margins for FY2014E at 10.9% (versus 10% earlier). However, we believe margins
face downward trajectory over FY2014-16E (build EBITDA margin of 10.5% in FY2015E and 10.3%
in FY2016E) due to risks related to competition, inflation, adverse mix and a slowdown. L&T
maintained its revenue growth guidance of 15% yoy for FY2014 (9% posted in 9MFY14). We build
lower revenue growth of 12% in FY2014 implying 16% growth requirement in 4QFY14. L&T also
maintained its inflow guidance of 15-20% in FY2014 (strong 23% growth in 9MFY14; but is a bit
wary about maintaining this traction on delayed decision making by customers).
Outlook
We have a Neutral on L&T as we think it will be difficult rate L&T from today’s level without
earnings upgrade and/or uncertanity across sector. Downside risks are project delays, weaker
margins and stronger Rupee. Upside risks are higher than expected order inflow and higher
operating margins a head.
