2. Market Outlook | India Research
Grasim to go ex-Samruddhi today
Grasim had decided to demerge its cement business to its subsidiary, Samruddhi Cement
(Samruddhi), as part of a restructuring plan made in October 2010. As a result of the
demerger, Grasim’s shareholders will directly hold 35% in Samruddhi, while Grasim's
stake would get diluted to 65% in the company. Grasim is set to become ex-Samruddhi
from today, as a result of which every shareholder of Grasim got an additional share
Samruddhi on May 25, 2010. On completion of the demerger, Samruddhi would be listed
on the bourses in June 2010 to provide an exit opportunity to investors, as eventually
Samruddhi would be merged with Ultra Tech, wherein its shareholders will get four shares
of Ultra Tech (face value of Rs10) for every seven shares (face value of Rs5). The merger is
expected to be completed in July 2010. We have valued the company’s 60.3% stake in
Ultra Tech (after the demerger of Samruddhi) at an average EV/tonne of US $105/tonne
and 6.5x FY2012E EV/EBITDA after providing a 20% holding company discount to arrive
at a value of Rs1,569/share. We have valued the VSF business at 4x EV/EBITDA, implying
a P/BV of 1.75x on FY2012E estimates. Our SOTP Target Price for Grasim works out to
Rs2,837, without considering the demerger (Rs2,216 post merger). We maintain an
Accumulate on the stock.
Cadila receives milestone payment from Abbott
Cadila has announced that it has received Rs47.4cr from Abbott as a milestone payment
under the strategic alliance entered between the two companies earlier in May 2010 for
the supply of 24 branded generics products to Abbott for 15 emerging markets. The
agreement also has an option for additional 40 products to be included over the term of
the collaboration. The deal is likely to commercialise in FY2012. We expect the deal to be
positive as it will enable Cadila to leverage its strong product pipeline and manufacturing
capabilities. At Rs605, the stock is trading at 19.7x FY2011E and 15.2x FY2012E earnings.
We recommend Accumulate on the stock with a Target Price of Rs634.
Marico acquires aesthetic skin care business in Singapore
Marico (through Kaya Ltd.) has acquired the aesthetic business of the Singapore-based
Derma Rx Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (Derma Rx), through its newly incorporated subsidiary
Derma Rx International Aesthetics Pte. Ltd. The deal includes the acquisition of all IPR’s
relating to Derma Rx’s business and the shares in the wholly owned subsidiaries of Derma
Rx (The DRx Clinic, The DRx Medispa, The DRx Meditech and DRx Research Pte.). Derma
Rx, led by internationally respected Dr. SK Tan, operates three centres in Singapore and
one in Kuala Lumpur. With a customer base of 37,000, Derma Rx has generated a
turnover of Rs50cr in 2009. While the deal size has not been disclosed, the acquisition is
expected to be EPS accretive in the first year of its operations itself. We estimate the deal
size at nearly 1.5-2x sales for Rs75cr-100cr.
We believe the acquisition is in line with Marico’s strategy of growing its Kaya franchise, as
it will provide Kaya with an access to an advanced range of skincare products and strong
sourcing networks, including suppliers of products from developed nations. Moreover,
management has indicated that over time Derma Rx products will be introduced into
Kaya’s range of offerings in India and the Middle East. This will enable Kaya to increase its
revenue share, from sale of products, from the current level of about 13% to over 20%.
Due to lack of financial details, we have not factored this acquisition in our numbers. We
maintain our Neutral rating on the stock

3. Market Outlook | India Research
Bharti raises Rs8,500cr loan for 3G
Bharti Airtel has raised nearly Rs8,500cr from a consortium of financial institutions,
including SBI, to pay for the 3G mobile spectrum. HDFC and HDFC Bank are the other
banks in the consortium to partly finance the amount that Bharti has to pay to the
government. Bharti won the bids for 13 circles, including Delhi and Mumbai, for
Rs12,295cr. The loan is spread over six years and carries an interest rate in the 8-9%
range, said sources. Increased debt in the books would lead to higher interest outgo in
1QFY2010; however, the full impact would be seen 2QFY2010 onwards. We maintain
Buy with a Target Price of Rs360.
4QFY2010 Result Reviews
GIPCL
GIPCL's net sales declined by 12.4% yoy to Rs254cr, as against our estimates of a 9.8%
yoy increase in top line. The decrease in top line was primarily on account of decreased
fuel prices, which is a pass on. Reduction in fuel prices is attributed to increased gas
availability in the KG Basin. Fuel cost of the company declined by 15.5% yoy to Rs166cr.
However, staff costs and other expenses increased by 16.7% and 22.0%, respectively, on a
yoy basis during the quarter. Operating profits declined by 13.9% on a yoy basis to Rs62cr
on account of increased expenses. The company's bottom line for the quarter stood at
Rs36cr, up 22.8% on a yoy basis and in line with our estimates. We maintain Buy on the
stock with a Target Price of Rs135.
HUL
HUL posted top-line growth of 8.2% yoy to Rs4,316cr (Rs3,988cr) in 4QFY2010, which
was in line with our estimates of 7.3%. Growth was largely driven by volume growth of
11% (low base of 4.5% decline yoy). We note that the price war between P&G and HUL
started only in early February 2010 and the current quarter, hence, it does not reflect the
complete competitive pressure. However, a 4% decline (due to price cuts/promotional
offers largely in the detergents category) dragged topline growth. In terms of segments, the
soaps and detergents (S&D) segment posted a 1.9% yoy decline to Rs1,978cr (Rs2,016cr)
due to price cuts and intense competition in the detergents category. Nevertheless,
management has indicated of positive volume growth in soaps. Amongst other segments,
personal segments posted 18.9% yoy growth, beverages posted 15.3% yoy growth and
foods posted strong yoy growth of 22.7%. Overall FMCG sales grew 7.8%, with 5.5%
growth in HPC and 17.9% growth in the foods business.
At the operating level, HUL posted a weak performance, despite drops in input costs (down
78bp yoy), staff costs (down 36bp yoy) and overheads (down 116bp yoy), largely due to a
significant increase in advertising spends (up 39% yoy in absolute terms, 322bp yoy) due
to intense competitive pressures. Hence, EBITDA for the quarter remained flat at Rs531cr
(Rs527cr).
In terms of reported earnings, HUL posted 47% yoy growth to Rs581cr (Rs395cr), despite
muted top-line growth and margin contraction. This was largely boosted by one-off items
to the tune of Rs196cr, which include profit on sale of long-term investments (Capgemini)
amounting to Rs91cr; reduction in provision for retirement benefits of Rs53cr; and write-
back of provision against advances and diminution in value of investments in Bon Ltd vis-
à-vis loss of Rs107cr yoy due to provision for retirement benefit amounting to Rs60cr and
provision for remediation of site amounting to Rs25cr. However, on a recurring basis, HUL
reported a sharp 23% yoy decline to Rs386cr (Rs502cr) impacted by a 2,035bp yoy spike-
up in tax rate to 32.7% (12.4%) attributed to high extraordinary gains in this quarter and
rise in MAT rate. We maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

JK Tyres
JK Tyres reported its 4QFY2010 results, which were below our expectations. The company
reported net sales of Rs1,044cr, up 22.2%, on back of high base. On the operating profit
margin (OPM) front, the company reported margin of 7.2%, lower than our expectations,
due to higher raw material cost. The company reported net profit of Rs26.8cr, up 96% yoy.
For FY2010, the company recorded net sales of Rs3,678cr, up 3.4% yoy, with OPM of 11%
and net profit of Rs164cr. The stock is under review and the rating would be updated post
the conference call.
Nagarjuna Construction Company
Nagarjuna Construction Company (NCC) posted 4QFY2010 results, which were above
our estimates. The company registered top-line growth of 38.7% to Rs1,523cr against our
expectations of Rs1,355cr. Operating margin for the quarter was reported at 10%, in line
with our estimates. Bottom line reported a 168.6% increase to Rs103cr. The surge in
bottom line came primarily on account of exceptional gains booked by NCC (at Rs49.6cr)
on account of sale of investments in Gautami Power Ltd., excluding which it was in line
with our estimates. The stock is under review.
4QFY2010 Result Previews
BHEL
For 4QFY2010, we expect the company to post sales and net profit of Rs13,367cr and
Rs1,886cr, registering yoy growth of 26.8% and 40.0%, respectively. On the operating
front, the company is expected to register a 491bp expansion in operating margin, which
is expected to be around 21.0%. We remain Neutral on the stock.
Tata Steel
Tata Steel is slated to announce its 4QFY2010 standalone results. The company is
expected to deliver 7.4% yoy growth in its topline to Rs6,976cr. On the operating front, the
company is expected to report a 1,705bp expansion in its operating margin to 39.3%,
primarily on account of higher realisations. Thus, net profit is expected to increase by
113% yoy to Rs1,457cr. We maintain Buy on the stock with a Target Price of Rs697.
