4QFY2010 Result Update I Consumer Durables
May 19, 2010

Blue Star ACCUMULATE
CMP Rs382
Performance Highlights Target Price Rs425

For 4QFY2010, Blue Star recorded a strong 22.6% yoy growth in its Top-line Investment Period 12 Months
to Rs875cr (Rs714cr), which was slightly ahead of our estimates. The top-line
growth was primarily driven by a strong execution in the Electro Mechanical Stock Info
Projects and Packaged Air-conditioning Systems (EMPPAS) Division. The Cons.
Sector
OPM was in line with our estimates at 12.8%, down from 13.7% in Durables
4QFY2009. As a result, Net Profits grew by 17.7% yoy to Rs79cr. The carry Market Cap (Rs cr) 3,435
forward Order Book of the company increased to Rs1,733cr, from Rs1,339cr
a year earlier. The stock is currently trading at a valuation of 12.6x FY2012E Beta 0.6
earnings, factoring in most of the visible growth. Hence, we recommend an 52 WK High / Low 428/226
Accumulate on the stock.
Avg. Daily Volume 23,353
Shift in Strategic Focus: Blue Star has shifted its focus from the traditionally
Face Value (Rs) 2
strong IT/ITeS and Retail segments, as the demand from these segments is
still sluggish and is expected to remain so till the end of the year. The BSE Sensex 16,408
Company is now consolidating its position in the Hospital, Hotel and
Nifty 4,920
Infrastructure segments. However, the execution period for these orders is
much higher compared to the IT/ITeS and Retail segments. Consequently, Reuters Code BLUS.BO
the average execution period for the entire Order Book has increased to
over 13-14 months, compared to the shortest duration of 7-8 months. A Bloomberg Code BLSTR@IN
positive for the Company is that total order inflows for 4QFY2010 were Shareholding Pattern (%)
Rs704cr, compared to Rs491cr for 4QFY2009, an increase of 43.0% yoy.
Promoters 40.1
Outlook and Valuation MF/Banks/Indian FIs 16.3

There is an improvement in the outlook for the company, which is evident FII/NRIs/OCBs 9.0
from higher order inflows (Rs704cr for 4QFY2010, compared to Rs663cr in
Indian Public 34.6
3QFY2010 and Rs491cr in 4QFY2009). The transformation of the
company’s Order Book from faster-execution projects to slower ones is now Abs. (%) 3m 1yr 3yr
complete, and the healthy Order Book is now expected to translate into
Revenues for the company. Sales are expected to strengthen further in Sensex 1.3 14.7 14.7
FY2012E, when the demand from the High-Velocity segments like IT/ITeS
and Retail also improves. Given the improved outlook and stronger Order Blue Star 7.6 52.9 77.8
Book, we have revised our Top-line estimates for FY2011E and FY2012E
slightly upwards. At the current levels, the stock is trading at 15.9x and 12.6x
its FY2011E and FY2012E earnings, respectively. We recommend an
Accumulate on the stock, with a Target Price of Rs425.

Low-velocity projects to contribute more to incremental Revenues: Lower demand
from commercial office space catering to the IT/ITeS and Retail segments is expected
to continue till the end of 2010. On the other hand, strong demand from the
Hospitality, Healthcare, Power and Education segments has led to an increase in
their share of the order book. The company is witnessing acceptance in the Electrical
and Plumbing contracts space. Going forward, the company hopes to increase its
Market Share in this space to over 20% within the next three years. Notably, all these
segments have high execution periods. Sales in the High-Velocity commercial office
space are expected to increase in FY2012E.

Other developments

The Company has announced a final dividend of Rs8/share for FY2010 (400% of
the Face Value).

Outlook and Valuation
We have revised our estimates upwards for Sales in FY2011E and FY2012E, by 6.7%
and 10.3%, respectively. We have maintained our OPM estimates at 10.5% and
10.7% for FY2011E and FY2012E, respectively. As a result of the higher Sales
estimates, our EPS estimates now stand at Rs24.1 and Rs30.3 in FY2011E and
FY2012E, respectively.

The demand situation for FY2011E remains tentative for the company. However,
things are expected to continue improving through the year. We expect the situation
to improve considerably in FY2012E, with a revival in Sales in the office segment. At
the CMP, the stock is trading at 15.9x and 12.6x its FY2011E and FY2012E
Earnings, respectively. Given an improvement in the outlook, we recommend an
Accumulate on the stock, with a Target Price of Rs425.
