House in order; awaiting macro support
Products lead growth I Projects weigh on profits
We went through VOLT’s annual report for FY14. Our key takeaways:
Projects business restructured but legacy projects continue to haunt: The
Projects business continued to report EBIT losses for the third consecutive year,
as the pace of execution failed to pick up. However, curtailment of EBIT losses
at 1.5% of project revenues against 3.3% in FY12 could be a key positive in a
constrained environment. RIEL reported EBITDA breakeven but continued to
struggle with post tax losses, compelling VOLT to infuse capital in FY14.
NWC cycle contracts for standalone entity, remains stretched on consolidated
basis: VOLT’s net working capital (NWC) remained elevated on consolidated
basis at 53 days against 30 days in FY11. However, its NWC cycle reported sharp
improvement on standalone basis (NWC days down by 10 days on standalone
basis), supported by lower inventories (improvement of 4 days) and increase in
trade payables (higher by 4 days).
Maintains leadership position in Unitary Cooling segment: For FY14, the Room
AC division reported 7% volume growth. Overall, the Unitary Cooling division
reported 39% revenue growth. EBIT margins across the division expanded from
9% in FY13 to 12.5%, supported by favorable product mix and higher demand
from tier III & IV cities, which VOLT caters to through a pan India network of
~6,500 retailers. The Unitary Cooling division reported the highest margins in
FY14 at 12.5% from a low of 5.9% in FY09.
Rationalizing manpower to curtail fixed costs: VOLT’s manpower cost for FY14
declined 6% on a consolidated basis and 15% on a standalone basis. Employees
on its payroll continued to decrease for the third consecutive year in FY14, with
65% of its manpower being on contract basis. VOLT has been rationalizing
manpower to realign itself with current industry requirements.
Maintain Buy: VOLT trades at 19.3x FY16E of INR10.4 and 15.7x FY17E EPS of
INR12.8, and at an EV of 15.5x FY16E EBITDA and 12.2x FY17E EBITDA. Near-
term growth triggers are dormant, considering the tepid pace of project
execution across sectors. Profitability of the Projects division is also likely to be
under pressure, as VOLT is yet to complete legacy projects. The Unitary Cooling
division could be a major beneficiary of operating leverage once demand picks
up across room ACs and refrigeration boxes. We model 14% revenue CAGR and
26% PAT CAGR over FY15-17. We maintain Buy; our target price is INR230.

Quotes from annual report
Projects business: For the projects business in particular, new investments were
few and far between, with some reliable sources reporting that capital outlays lingered at
the decade’s lowest levels. The pace of execution also posed challenges, leading to both
time and cost overruns that contributed to margin dilution in projects
The International Projects business continued to remain in the grip of recession, marked by
widespread delays in settlements and release of payments
.”
. In response, project specific task
forces have been constituted, with clear roles and responsibilities directed towards faster
completion and quick settlement of commercial entitlements. The drive towards speedy
closure of projects has yielded some results, but there is still much to be done.
Rohini Electricals: While it was a subdued year for the Water business and Rohini
Industrial Electricals Limited (RIEL), their integration under Domestic Projects Group (DPG)
has been completed
Sidra Medical & Research Centre Hospital: Due to significant upward revision
in the total estimated costs to complete a major project in Qatar, the Sidra Medical and
Research Centre Hospital (Onerous contract), the Company had in the previous years
accounted for the cost overruns in accordance with AS-7.
. However, RIEL continued to suffer losses on its low-margin ‘legacy’
orders, resulting in a further write-down of ` 20 crores in the value of the Company’s
investment.
Though the Sidra project is over
93% complete, additional costs to come have been estimated for the revised completion
date along with possible enhancement of revenue from variations/claims.
The final completion schedule and other terms are yet to be finalized between the Main
Contractor and the end Customer and could revise the Company’s current cost estimates
and entitlements
Room AC segment: Despite the early onset of monsoons as well as dampened
consumer sentiment,
.
the Room AC business (Primary
Responding to the increased demand in tier 2 and tier 3 towns, as well as the rise in rural
demand driven by good monsoons, the business enhanced its penetration, with

Secondary Market, the growth was 19% as against industry growth of 11% as per GFK-

the number
of touch points now exceeding 6500 outlets.
Textile machinery segment: The revised and restructured Textile Up gradation
Fund (TUF) scheme is yet to have the desired impact in boosting the demand and reviving
the fortunes of the Textile industry. The prevailing uncertainties and subdued investment
climate, coupled with Rupee devaluation and volatility, weakened sentiments and led to
postponement of equipment orders.

Projects segment awaits macro push for improved order booking
Legacy projects remain the major drag on VOLT’s Projects business. The company
continues to focus on execution of these projects, for which it has constituted an
internal task force with the intention to close these legacy projects. However,
closure of legacy projects has met with limited success, as clients continue to delay
payments, indirectly signaling their intention to delay commissioning.
Due to legacy projects and delays in project execution, revenues for FY14 declined
16% to INR26.9b, almost in line with the revenues booked in FY09. However, VOLT
was able to control its losses, effectively resulting in negative EBIT margin of 1.5%,
against negative 3.3% in FY12. Closure of legacy projects and improved pace of
project execution across recently bagged orders with higher margins and better
commercial terms hold the key to margin improvement in Projects business.

RIEL achieves EBITDA breakeven after three years
Supported by 29% increase in contract revenues, RIEL reported EBITDA breakeven in
FY14, with an operating profit of INR24.6m. However, interest cost of INR90.3m
continued to drag RIEL’s profitability. Consequently, it reported loss of INR69m. Post
the integration of RIEL with VOLT’s domestic projects group, VOLT had purchased
the remaining 16.33% share from RIEL’s erstwhile promoters, making RIEL its 100%
subsidiary. Improvement in RIEL’s performance is subject to improved pace of
project execution and closure of legacy orders. VOLT has invested INR370m via
preferential share allotment in RIEL.

NWC cycle contracts for standalone entity, remains stretched on

Considering the constrained environment, characterized by tepid pace of project
execution, especially across GCC nations, VOLT’s net working capital (NWC)
remained elevated on consolidated basis at 53 days but have remained flat on YoY basis
against 30 days in FY11. However, its NWC cycle reported sharp improvement on
standalone basis (NWC days down by 10 days on standalone basis), supported by
lower inventories (improvement of 4 days) and increase in trade payables (higher by

TUF fails to support demand; near-term outlook remains grim
Demand for spindles and other spinning machines is likely to remain grim in the
near term, as the restructured Textile Upgradation Fund (TUF) has failed to provide
the desired stimulus for resumption of capex across the Indian textiles industry. The
Engineering Products & Services division reported 4% growth and 31% EBIT margin
in FY14. Overall, the division’s revenues are still 21% below peak levels of INR5.6b.
EBIT margins across the Engineering Products & Services segment expanded to
31.6% for FY14, supported by one-time gains worth INR125.4m from business
restructuring, which led to sale of its mining business.

Maintains leadership position in unitary cooling segment
VOLT maintains its leadership position across the Room AC industry. For FY14, the
Room AC division reported 7% volume growth. Overall, the Unitary Cooling division
reported 39% revenue growth. EBIT margins across the division expanded from 9%
in FY13 to 12.5%, supported by favorable product mix and higher demand from tier
III & IV cities, which VOLT caters to through a pan India network of ~6,500 retailers.
The Unitary Cooling division reported the highest margins in FY14 at 12.5% from a
low of 5.9% in FY09. Margin expansion is an outcome of sustained marketing efforts
towards institutional customers, product portfolio enhancement, focused
marketing, and expanding dealer network. To cater to increasing demand for room
ACs, VOLT has ramped-up its manufacturing capacity to 650k units per annum in its
manufacturing subsidiary, Universal Comfort Products (UPCL).

Valuation and outlook
VOLT trades at 19.3x FY16E of INR10.4 and 15.7x FY17E EPS of INR12.8, and at an EV
of 15.5x FY16E EBITDA and 12.2x FY17E EBITDA. Near-term growth triggers are
dormant, considering the tepid pace of project execution across sectors. Profitability
of the Projects division is also likely to be under pressure, as VOLT is yet to complete
legacy projects. The Unitary Cooling division could be a major beneficiary of
operating leverage once demand picks up across room ACs and refrigeration boxes.
We model 14% revenue CAGR and 26% PAT CAGR over FY15-17. We maintain Buy;
our target price is INR230.

Voltas FY14: Products lead growth; Projects weigh on profits - Motilal Oswal

  • 1. Satyam Agarwal (AgarwalS@MotilalOswal.com); +91 22 3982 5410 Amit Shah (Amit.Shah@MotilalOswal.com) / Nirav Vasa (Nirav.Vasa@MotilalOswal.com) 6 August 2014 Annual Report Update | Sector: Capital Goods Voltas CMP: INR199 TP: INR230 Buy House in order; awaiting macro support Products lead growth I Projects weigh on profits We went through VOLT’s annual report for FY14. Our key takeaways: Projects business restructured but legacy projects continue to haunt: The Projects business continued to report EBIT losses for the third consecutive year, as the pace of execution failed to pick up. However, curtailment of EBIT losses at 1.5% of project revenues against 3.3% in FY12 could be a key positive in a constrained environment. RIEL reported EBITDA breakeven but continued to struggle with post tax losses, compelling VOLT to infuse capital in FY14. NWC cycle contracts for standalone entity, remains stretched on consolidated basis: VOLT’s net working capital (NWC) remained elevated on consolidated basis at 53 days against 30 days in FY11. However, its NWC cycle reported sharp improvement on standalone basis (NWC days down by 10 days on standalone basis), supported by lower inventories (improvement of 4 days) and increase in trade payables (higher by 4 days). Maintains leadership position in Unitary Cooling segment: For FY14, the Room AC division reported 7% volume growth. Overall, the Unitary Cooling division reported 39% revenue growth. EBIT margins across the division expanded from 9% in FY13 to 12.5%, supported by favorable product mix and higher demand from tier III & IV cities, which VOLT caters to through a pan India network of ~6,500 retailers. The Unitary Cooling division reported the highest margins in FY14 at 12.5% from a low of 5.9% in FY09. Rationalizing manpower to curtail fixed costs: VOLT’s manpower cost for FY14 declined 6% on a consolidated basis and 15% on a standalone basis. Employees on its payroll continued to decrease for the third consecutive year in FY14, with 65% of its manpower being on contract basis. VOLT has been rationalizing manpower to realign itself with current industry requirements. Maintain Buy: VOLT trades at 19.3x FY16E of INR10.4 and 15.7x FY17E EPS of INR12.8, and at an EV of 15.5x FY16E EBITDA and 12.2x FY17E EBITDA. Near- term growth triggers are dormant, considering the tepid pace of project execution across sectors. Profitability of the Projects division is also likely to be under pressure, as VOLT is yet to complete legacy projects. The Unitary Cooling division could be a major beneficiary of operating leverage once demand picks up across room ACs and refrigeration boxes. We model 14% revenue CAGR and 26% PAT CAGR over FY15-17.

  • 2. Voltas 6 August 2014 2 Quotes from annual report Projects business: For the projects business in particular, new investments were few and far between, with some reliable sources reporting that capital outlays lingered at the decade’s lowest levels. The pace of execution also posed challenges, leading to both time and cost overruns that contributed to margin dilution in projects The International Projects business continued to remain in the grip of recession, marked by widespread delays in settlements and release of payments .” . In response, project specific task forces have been constituted, with clear roles and responsibilities directed towards faster completion and quick settlement of commercial entitlements. The drive towards speedy closure of projects has yielded some results, but there is still much to be done. Rohini Electricals: While it was a subdued year for the Water business and Rohini Industrial Electricals Limited (RIEL), their integration under Domestic Projects Group (DPG) has been completed Sidra Medical & Research Centre Hospital: Due to significant upward revision in the total estimated costs to complete a major project in Qatar, the Sidra Medical and Research Centre Hospital (Onerous contract), the Company had in the previous years accounted for the cost overruns in accordance with AS-7. . However, RIEL continued to suffer losses on its low-margin ‘legacy’ orders, resulting in a further write-down of ` 20 crores in the value of the Company’s investment. Though the Sidra project is over 93% complete, additional costs to come have been estimated for the revised completion date along with possible enhancement of revenue from variations/claims. The final completion schedule and other terms are yet to be finalized between the Main Contractor and the end Customer and could revise the Company’s current cost estimates and entitlements Room AC segment: Despite the early onset of monsoons as well as dampened consumer sentiment, . the Room AC business (Primary Responding to the increased demand in tier 2 and tier 3 towns, as well as the rise in rural demand driven by good monsoons, the business enhanced its penetration, with Market) reported growth of 6.5% as against industry-wide AC sales de-growth of around 8%, as per internal estimates. In the Secondary Market, the growth was 19% as against industry growth of 11% as per GFK- Nielsen.” the number of touch points now exceeding 6500 outlets. Textile machinery segment: The revised and restructured Textile Up gradation Fund (TUF) scheme is yet to have the desired impact in boosting the demand and reviving the fortunes of the Textile industry. The prevailing uncertainties and subdued investment climate, coupled with Rupee devaluation and volatility, weakened sentiments and led to postponement of equipment orders.
  • 3. Voltas 6 August 2014 3 Projects segment awaits macro push for improved order booking Legacy projects remain the major drag on VOLT’s Projects business. The company continues to focus on execution of these projects, for which it has constituted an internal task force with the intention to close these legacy projects. However, closure of legacy projects has met with limited success, as clients continue to delay payments, indirectly signaling their intention to delay commissioning. Due to legacy projects and delays in project execution, revenues for FY14 declined 16% to INR26.9b, almost in line with the revenues booked in FY09. However, VOLT was able to control its losses, effectively resulting in negative EBIT margin of 1.5%, against negative 3.3% in FY12. Closure of legacy projects and improved pace of project execution across recently bagged orders with higher margins and better commercial terms hold the key to margin improvement in Projects business.

However, interest cost of INR90.3m continued to drag RIEL’s profitability. Consequently, it reported loss of INR69m. Post the integration of RIEL with VOLT’s domestic projects group, VOLT had purchased the remaining 16.33% share from RIEL’s erstwhile promoters, making RIEL its 100% subsidiary.
