three-wheelers.
Hero Honda: Hero Honda reported a 16.6% yoy increase in volumes in July 2010 to
427,686 units (366,808 units), aided by growth in the motorcycle segment and scooter
segment. Scooter sales grew by 60% during the month. The company has posted four
lakh-plus sales for the third consecutive month. Shortage of component from suppliers
impacted the company’s sales growth during the month.
TVS Motor: TVS Motor posted significant 36% growth in overall sales for July 2010, aided

Larsen and Toubro secures order worth Rs6,500cr from JP Group
Larsen and Toubro (L&T) has secured an order worth Rs6,500cr from Jaiprakash Power
Ventures Ltd., a Jaiprakash Group Power company. The work scope includes supply,
erection and commissioning of boiler-turbine generator package, critical piping,
electrostatic precipitators and power plant automation for JP’s 3x660MW power plant
being set up in Uttar Pradesh. The plant is expected to be fully commissioned in 60
months, with the first unit scheduled to go into commercial production in 48 months. The
outstanding order book of L&T stands at more than Rs1lakh crore (~3.0x FY2010 revenue)
and continues to render visibility. At the CMP of Rs1,812, the stock trades at 26.3x
FY2012E EPS and 4.4x FY2012E P/BV. We maintain our Neutral view on the stock.
Result Reviews-1QFY2011
Bhushan Steel
For 1QFY2011, Bhushan Steel (BSL) reported a 14.4% yoy (21.2% qoq) decline in sales
volume to 309,333 tonnes, of which flat sales accounted for 215,808 tonnes and long
products sales stood at 93,525 tonnes. However, on the positive side, average gross
realisation increased by 23.9% yoy and 9.3% qoq to Rs44,375/tonne. Consequently, net
revenue grew by 5.2% yoy but fell by 14.7% qoq to Rs1,373cr. The 1.9mn tonne hot strip
mill is under trial runs and BSL produced 62,789 tonnes of hot rolled steel during the
quarter. The mill is expected to be commissioned in 2QFY2011.
Despite muted top-line performance, EBITDA margin expanded by 696bp yoy and 366bp
qoq to 29.7% mainly on account of lower raw-material cost. Raw-material cost as a
percentage of revenue fell to 54.6% in 1QFY2011 as compared to 66.1% in 1QFY2010
and 60.8% in 4QFY2010. Consequently, EBITDA grew by 37.4% yoy to Rs408cr but
declined 2.7% qoq. EBITDA/tonne increased to US $289 from US $232 in 4QFY2010 and
US $169 in 1QFY2010. Consequently, net income increased by 19.7% yoy to Rs206cr but
declined 14.6% sequentially.
At the CMP of Rs1,559, the stock is trading at 7.3x FY2011E and 6.0x FY2012E
EV/EBITDA. We expect BSL to post a 26.2% CAGR in volumes over FY2010–15E on
completion of its Phase-III expansion plan by October 2012 along with EBITDA/tonne
increasing to US $331 in FY2011E. Moreover, with debt/equity expected to decline from
3.3x in FY2009 to 2.0x in FY2012E, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock
with a Target Price of Rs1,979, valuing the stock at 6.5x FY2012E EV/EBITDA.
GAIL
GAIL India (GAIL) delivered a good set of numbers for 1QFY2011, which were in line with
our estimates. Net sales increased 17.8% yoy, while the net profit increased by 35.2% yoy.
GAIL reported an increase in net sales to Rs7,096cr (Rs6,021cr), primarily on the back of a
good performance in the natural gas transmission and trading, and LPG and liquid
hydrocarbon segments.
The natural gas transmission segment registered top-line growth of 22.3%. Operating
profit in the segment was up by 23.7% yoy. Gas transmission volumes registered growth of
20.2% yoy to 116.2mmscmd (96.7mmscmd), marginally higher than our expectation.
Similarly, the LPG and liquid hydrocarbon segment also performed well during the quarter.
This was driven by higher volumes and realisations, coupled with lower-than-anticipated
provision towards the subsidy burden. The segment registered top-line growth of 14.3%
yoy. The segment’s operating profit grew by 48.8% yoy to Rs256cr as against Rs172cr
during 1QFY2010. OPM grew by 252bp yoy to 20.2% (17.7%) on account of mere 3.4%
increase in raw-material cost coupled with robust operating profit growth in the natural gas
transmission, natural gas trading and LPG and liquid hydrocarbon segments on account of
higher realisations and volume growth (except in petrochemicals).

4. Market Outlook | India Research
Overall, operating profit during the quarter increased by 34.7% yoy to Rs1,435cr, which
was in line with our expectation of Rs1,426cr. PAT during the quarter stood at Rs887cr
(Rs656cr), registering growth of 35.2% yoy, which was also in line with our expectation of
Rs881cr. We maintain a Buy rating on GAIL, however the Target Price is under review.
GSK Consumer
GSK Consumer posted moderate top-line growth of 14.5% yoy (lowest in the last 10
quarters) to Rs537cr (Rs469cr), below our estimates of 20% growth. However, earnings
registered strong growth of 30% yoy to Rs71.8cr (Rs55.2cr), ahead of our estimates of 19%
yoy growth, aided by margin expansion, a 24% yoy jump in other income and a 243bp
decline in tax rate. At the operating level, GSK Consumer reported margin expansion of
69bp yoy, despite a 100bp yoy gross margin contraction, largely aided by a 200bp
reduction in advertising spends (flat yoy in absolute terms). We have tweaked our estimates
to marginally account for lower revenue traction exhibited during the quarter and higher
OPM (tweaked our ad spends downwards). However, there is no material change in our
earnings estimates. We maintain Reduce on the stock with a Target Price of Rs1,622.
India Cements
For 1QFY2011, India Cements’ net sales declined by 8.1% yoy on account of a substantial
price decline in Andhra Pradesh, which contributes close to 45% of the company’s overall
revenue. Net plant realisations for the quarter stood at Rs2,501/tonne, down 21% on a yoy
basis. On the operating front, the company’s margin fell by 1,895bp yoy to 11.6% (30.5%)
on account of the fall in realisations as well as increase in raw-material and freight costs.
On the bottom-line front, the company’s net profit declined by 82.7% yoy to Rs25.0cr,
primarily because of the company’s poor operating performance. The bottom line was
bolstered by Rs26.4cr of profit booked on account of stake sale in Bharati Cement. After
adjusting for foreign exchange translation loss of Rs11.55cr and other income, net profit
stood at Rs10.16cr. We maintain a Buy on the stock and the Target Price is under review.
Madhucon Projects
Madhucon Projects (MPL) reported top-line growth ahead of our estimates, primarily led by
pick up in the execution in the road and irrigation segments. Operating margin and
earnings also exceeded our expectations. MPL’s order book at 3.5x FY2010 revenue gives
revenue visibility for the next couple of years. However, MPL’s money-raising plans have hit
a road block due to regulatory norms, and the company has raised debt in lieu of equity,
which makes PE money coming in also a remote possibility. In line with this, we are
changing our valuation methodology and not factoring in dilution. Hence, we downgrade
the stock to Accumulate with a Target Price of Rs174.
Madras Cements
Madras Cements registered a 9% yoy decline in top line to Rs697cr, primarily due to a
10.7% fall in cement realisations. However, the company’s sales volume improved by 5.3%
yoy to 2mn tonnes. On the operating front, the company’s profit declined by 32.7% yoy to
Rs196cr. The decline in operating profit was due to the fall in top line coupled with a
23.7% yoy increase in power and fuel costs. On the bottom-line front, the company’s net
profit declined by 47.6% yoy to Rs73cr. We maintain a Buy on the stock with a Target Price
of Rs141.
August 3, 2010 4
5. Market Outlook | India Research
Nestle
Nestle registered modest top-line growth of 21.3% yoy to Rs1,467cr, in line with our
estimates, supported by higher volumes and limited price increases. The bottom line
registered muted growth of 20.3% yoy to Rs195cr, slightly above our expectation of
Rs186cr. On the operating margin front, there was a dip of 160bp yoy to Rs20cr due to
high commodity prices, especially milk solids and sugar. Other expenditure grew
significantly by 113bp yoy due to increased fuel prices. The stock is under review.
NMDC
NMDC reported growth of 97.0% yoy and 27.0% qoq to Rs2,518cr for 1QFY2011. On the
operating front, the company’s EBITDA margin expanded by 726bp yoy to 81.5%. During
the quarter, royalty on iron ore increased to Rs139cr as against Rs11cr in 1QFY2010 as
the government started charging royalty on an ad valorem basis from 2QFY2010. Driven
by strong top-line performance, EBITDA and net profit increased by 116.3% yoy and
94.4% yoy to Rs2,051cr and Rs1,504cr. We will review our numbers after having a
discussion with the management.
Subros
Subros reported decent set of numbers for 1QFY2011, with net sales up by 11.6% to
Rs234cr, which came in marginally below our expectations. Top line increased primarily
on the back of 13.8% growth in volumes; however, average realisation registered a
marginal yoy decline. On the operating front, EBITDA margin expanded by 44bp on
account of a 306bp yoy dip in raw-material costs. Input costs registered a decline owing to
the ongoing localised procurement of raw materials by the company. Staff costs and other
expenditure, however, increased by 100bp and 165bp yoy during the quarter, respectively.
The company’s bottom line spiked substantially by 117% yoy on the low base effect of last
year.
We believe growth in the passenger vehicle segment will augur the company’s volume
growth. Thus, we expect the company to register a volume CAGR of 16% over FY2010–
12E. We expect realisation to be stable or decline marginally due to the aggressive pricing
adopted by OEMs. We estimate the company to post EPS of Rs5 for FY2011E and Rs6 for
FY2012E. At the CMP of Rs50, the stock is trading at 8.3x FY2012E earnings. We maintain
a Buy on the stock with a Target Price of Rs60.
Result Previews-1QFY2011
Hindalco
Hindalco is slated to announce its 1QFY2011 results. The company is expected to register
a 28.8% yoy jump in top line to Rs4,986cr. However, on the operating front, EBITDA
margin is expected to contract by 227bp to 17.3%. Hence, the bottom line is expected to
grow by 15.7% yoy to Rs556cr. We maintain a Buy view on the stock with a Target Price of
Rs208.
Punj Lloyd
Punj Lloyd is expected to declare its 1QFY2011 results. We expect the company to post top
line of Rs2,661cr, 9.9% down on a yoy basis. Operating profit margin is expected to be at
8.5%, a 130bp drop yoy. Whereas, bottom line is expected to post a yoy decline of 54.6%
to Rs57.7cr. We maintain a Buy view on the stock with a Target Price of Rs170.
