Elecon Engineering (EEC) posted top-line growth of 15% to Rs247cr for 52 Week High / Low 111/70
1QFY2011. The OPM came in at 15.3%. Robust top-line growth and strong Avg. Daily Volume 283147
margins led to bottom-line growth of 57% to Rs13cr. We have revised our Face Value (Rs) 2
estimates upwards to factor in robust growth in 1QFY2011 and higher-than- BSE Sensex 18,115
estimated capex for FY2011. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Strong order book offers revenue visibility: EEC's order backlog has been Reuters Code ELCN.BO
declining since it touched the peak of Rs1,812cr in 3QFY2009. However, at the Bloomberg Code ELCN@IN
end of 1QFY2011, the order backlog stood at Rs1,582cr, improving from
Rs1,243cr at the end of 4QFY2010. We believe this indicates a revival in the
capex cycle, which we had discussed in our Initiating Coverage report. EEC's Shareholding Pattern (%)

Outlook and valuation: We believe EEC is well placed to seize the upcoming FII / NRIs / OCBs 3.3
opportunities in the power sector due its strong order book, which renders a high Indian Public / Others 38.0
revenue visibility for the company. We estimate EEC’s adjusted PAT to post a 22%

Sales momentum picking up
EEC reported robust 1QFY2011 revenue of Rs247cr (up 15% yoy), supported by
16% growth in the material handling division (MHE) and 11% growth in the gear
division. We believe sales momentum that picked up pace in 4QFY2010 is likely to
be maintained on account of strong order intake.

Robust order book
Order inflow for 1QFY2011 increased 657% yoy to Rs1,840cr. The order backlog
stood at Rs1,582cr (MHE: Rs1,253cr, Gears: Rs329cr). Strong order inflow was
driven by demand from core sectors such as power, cement, steel and mining. The
company booked new order worth nearly Rs600cr against Rs700cr booked in
FY2010. Given the ongoing live-enquiries worth Rs2,500cr, management
continues to expect better traction in orders from major industries including power
and steel.

Lower interest cost leads to higher PAT growth
Although EEC’s EBITDA margin for the quarter declined by 90bp to 15.3%, PAT
managed to grow by 57% to Rs13.4cr on account of lower interest outflow. Interest
outflow for the quarter decreased by 32% to Rs9.8cr (Rs14.4cr).

Investment arguments
Recovery augurs well for the MHE sector: The Rs5,700cr (FY2009) domestic MHE
industry has a strong correlation with industrial growth. According to the latest
data, IIP grew by an impressive 11.5% in May 2010, with the manufacturing sector
growing by 12.3%. Going ahead, we expect industrial capex to maintain its growth
path, with the economy reviving (indicated by the improvement in IIP), continued
government focus on infrastructure spends and pick-up in private capex.
Opportunity abound: The overall emerging opportunities in the MHE industry are
estimated to be around Rs32,500cr over FY2009–12E (Source: Crisil Research
Report). This augurs well for companies providing MHE solutions. Nonetheless,
near-term growth for MHE companies is expected to be driven by the high capex
likely to be incurred in the company’s key core sectors, such as power and coal.
Robust order book: EEC's current order book is pegged at Rs1,582cr (end of
1QFY2011), translating into 1.5x FY2010 revenue. The MHE segment is the
largest contributor to the company’s order book, with a share of Rs1,253cr,
followed by the gears segment, which accounts for Rs329cr of the order book.
We expect order inflows to gather pace in FY2011, which is evident from around
Rs600cr of order booking that the company registered in 1QFY2011. We estimate
EEC's order inflow to increase by a 40% CAGR over FY2010–12E.
Outlook and valuation
We have revised our estimates upwards to take into account the company’s robust
order book and higher-than-estimated capex for FY2011.

We believe an improving economic scenario (indicated by the revival in IIP),
continued government focus on infrastructure spends and pick-up in private capex
augur well for companies providing MHE solutions for the core sectors of the
economy. The government's strong focus on the power sector, through ’Power for
all by 2012’, is expected to result in an expansion of the sector’s generation
capacity, leading to higher opportunities for MHE players, while the mining and
port sectors would throw up combined opportunities worth around Rs7,000cr.
We believe EEC is well placed to seize the upcoming opportunities in the power
sector due its strong order book of Rs1,582cr at the end of 1QFY2011 (1.5x
FY2010 sales), which renders a high revenue visibility for the company.

6. Elecon Engineering | 1QFY2011 Result Update
We estimate the company's adjusted PAT to register a 22% CAGR over
FY2010–12E, driven by the stronger order inflow and a reduction in interest
outflow due to de-leveraging of the balance sheet on account of better working
capital management. We expect the RoCE and RoE to improve from 13% and 22%
in FY2010 to 19% and 23% in FY2012E, respectively.
At Rs92, the stock is available at attractive valuations of 8.6x FY2012E earnings
and 5.7x FY2012E EV/EBITDA. We maintain our Buy view on the stock with a
revised Target Price of Rs107 (Rs102).
