Madhucon Projects reported disappointing results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that were below expectations. While revenue grew robustly due to higher subcontracting in the power segment, operating margins hit a historical low of 6.4% due to the heavy subcontracting. The analyst maintains a "Buy" rating but lowers the target price to Rs. 190 per share based on revised estimates factoring in lower margins and a higher holding company discount applied to the valuation of Madhucon Infra subsidiary. Near-term revenue visibility comes from existing power segment orders but margins are expected to remain under pressure from ongoing subcontracting.

All cargo result update 1 qcy2010 050510Angel Broking
Allcargo Global Logistics' 1QCY2010 consolidated results were above expectations due to strong pick-up in volumes across segments. While revenues grew by 21.9% year-over-year, operating profit grew by a mere 2.7% due to inability to fully pass on increased freight rates in the ECU line, resulting in margin erosion. However, lower interest expenses and tax rate led to a 23.2% jump in net profit. The company maintained a neutral outlook while being well positioned in container segments.

However, operating margins declined significantly from 28% to 21.2% due to margin pressure, resulting in a 57.6% decrease in recurring earnings. While reported profits were up 5% due to exceptional gains, underlying earnings were down. The analyst maintains a buy rating but expects margins to recover, and forecasts JP Associates will become one of the fastest growing conglomerates in cement, power, and real estate.
JK Tyre reported net sales growth of 23% year-over-year for the quarter, but profit was below expectations due to a substantial increase in raw material costs. Raw material prices increased significantly both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, squeezing operating margins. The company has plans to expand capacity across segments to capitalize on demand growth and offset rising input costs, with most new capacity coming online in 2011-2012.
HDIL reported marginally higher than expected 4QFY2010 results. Revenue was driven by TDR sales of 1.48 million square feet from its Mumbai International Airport project. The company has pre-sold 75% of residential projects launched since FY2009, providing Rs2,600 crore in revenue visibility over FY2010-12. The company plans to launch another 5-6 million square feet in FY2011. While execution of the MIAL project and new launches provide growth visibility, delays in relocating families for the MIAL project phase 1 and recent management changes have hurt the stock price. The analyst maintains a Buy rating with a target price of Rs302 per share.
- Sintex Industries' 4QFY2010 results were above expectations, driven by strong 28.2% revenue growth in its Monolithic Plastics Segment.
- Operating profit grew 14.8% year-over-year due to higher contribution from the high-margin Monolithic Segment.
- Net profit grew 21.7% year-over-year to Rs. 138.7 crore, above analyst expectations, due to strong Monolithic Segment performance and lower tax rate.
Reliance Industries reported lower-than-expected earnings for 1QFY2011. While net operating income rose 86.7% year-over-year due to growth in refining revenues, EBITDA was below estimates due to lower petrochemical sales volumes and refining margins.

McNally Bharat Engineering Co. Ltd. (MBE) reported disappointing financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, with revenues, earnings, and margins coming in below previous estimates. While MBE's order backlog remains strong at Rs. 4,803 crores, providing high revenue visibility, its subsidiary McNally Sayaji also saw subdued performance. However, analysts maintain a 'Buy' recommendation due to MBE's experience in various sectors, ongoing government infrastructure spending, and significant projected market opportunities over the next few years totaling Rs. 51,600 crores. Estimates have been revised downward to account for the weak quarterly performance.
Bajaj Auto reported strong results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 that exceeded estimates. Net sales grew 80.5% year-over-year to Rs3,399 crore, driven by an 83.8% increase in volume.

Anant Raj Industries' (ARIL) 4QFY2010 results were below expectations due to a delay in launching a premium residential project. Rental income grew 10.6% but profit fell 53.9% quarter-over-quarter. The analyst downgraded earnings estimates for FY2011-FY2012 to account for the delayed project launch. However, ARIL has a strong development pipeline and the analyst maintains a Buy rating due to ARIL's low-cost land bank and strong balance sheet.
Automotive Axles (AAL) posted strong results for the third quarter of 2010, with net sales up 198% year-over-year to Rs196 crore, above estimates. Operating profit margin increased 252 basis points to 14% due to improved operating leverage. Net profit increased 442% to Rs14.6 crore, beating estimates on higher margins. The company benefited from an 80% year-over-year increase in medium and heavy commercial vehicle volumes, which account for 95% of its revenue. The analyst maintains a "Buy" rating, expecting continued recovery in commercial vehicle demand to drive robust earnings growth over the next two years.
Hindalco Result Update 4 qfy2010-110510Angel Broking
Hindalco reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. Net sales increased 45.3% over the same quarter of the previous year due to higher aluminum and copper prices. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins expanded significantly due to higher prices, though copper production declined because a smelter was shut down. Overall results were ahead of estimates due to lower interest costs and a tax benefit. The company is increasing aluminum production capacity substantially in the next few years and is well positioned to benefit from expected growth in aluminum demand and its low production costs.

Overall emerging opportunities in the The overall, emerging opportunities (as per Crisil Research) in the MHE Industry are
Industry are estimated to be around estimated to be around Rs32,500cr over FY2009-12E. This augurs well for the
Rs32,500cr over FY2009-12E companies providing MHE solutions. Nonetheless, the near-term growth for MHE
companies is expected to be driven by the high capex likely to be incurred in the key
core sectors of the economy, such as Power and Coal.

Total opportunity arising from Power Sector: The government's focus on the Power Sector, through "Power for all by
Power
the Power Sector is estimated to be 2012", is expected to be achieved via the Accelerated Power Development and Reform
in the region of Rs17,800cr over Programme (APDRP), Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) and a rising trend of captive
FY2009-12E power plants, which, in turn, would boost the demand for the Material Handling
Equipments. The expansion plans in the Power Generation Segment would drive the
demand for feeders, crushers, conveyers and screeners. As per Crisil, the total
opportunity arising from the Power Sector is estimated to be in the region of Rs17,800cr
over FY2009-12E.
Steel: The Steel Industry is likely to witness total capacity addition of 45mn tonnes over
the next five years, resulting in Order inflows worth Rs7,700cr for MHE companies.
Coal and Mining: We believe that higher investments in the Power Sector would drive
the capex plans of the Mining Industry, which would primarily be led by the Coal
Industry. Hence, we expect Coal India, as well as captive coal mining companies, to
increasingly source MHE equipment like feeders, crushers and other equipment. As
per Crisil, total opportunity of Rs4,600cr would come up for the MHE companies
under this segment over FY2009-12E.
Ports: This Segment comprises of cargo handling, container, bulk and liquid handling
systems. Overall, the MHE companies are expected to cash in on potential emerging
opportunities to the tune of Rs2,400cr over FY2009-12E.

Rs997cr, followed by Gears, which accounts for Rs246cr of the Order Book. We estimate
EEC's order inflow to increase by a CAGR of 40% over FY2010-12E.
We expect Order inflows to gather pace in FY2011, which is evident from around
Rs400cr of orders registered in the first two months of the current fiscal. We have
conservatively estimated EEC's MHE Segment's Order inflows to register a CAGR of
60% over FY2010-12E. Considering that the industry's total annual opportunity is
estimated at Rs10,800cr (Rs32,500cr over FY2009-12E) and given EEC's historical
market share of 12-14% in the MHE space, this translates into a cumulative Order
flow of Rs2,800cr in FY2011-12E (against our estimate of Rs1,500cr). In the case of
the Gear Division, we expect a CAGR of 20% in the order inflow over FY2010-12E.

Windmill segment - yet to gather steam
EEC used to supply gear boxes and had installed around 50 Wind Turbines (300 KW)
over 1995-98 in Gujarat. Hence, diversification into the windmill business was a
logical move for the company. During 2001, EEC decided to diversify the Wind Turbine
Business and installed 2 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) (600 KW) in Gujarat, and
2 WTGs in Tamil Nadu as prototype turbines.
Revenue from windmill business over Although EEC entered the windmill business quite a while ago, the company has not
FY2005-09 has averaged Rs9cr only been able to achieve a ramp-up in its operations. Over FY2005-09, the revenue has
averaged at Rs8cr; however, it spiked to Rs18cr in FY2008, before retreating back to
Rs6cr in FY2009.

Currently, the gearboxes for the systems are in-house made, while, in the case of
turbines, EEC has a technical collaboration with Turbowind N.V of Belgium. Under the
Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-12), the Government of India has set a target of 10,500
MW to be added through Windmills, while, globally, the annual installation is likely to
increase from 28,500 MW to 51,000 MW. Hence, EEC has ample opportunities to
capitalise on, going ahead.
The Management expects pick up in Currently, EEC's wind turbines are undergoing C-Wet Certification, which, the
Windmill Business after the C -Wet management expects, would help their wind business get global recognition; this, in
Certification turn, would help the company in reviving its sales. The management expects to sell
100 units in FY2012E, translating into additional revenue of Rs350cr. However, we
have not factored the same into our estimates, as we await further developments and
ramp ups in this business.
Restructuring
EEC is planning to restructure its business, under which it plans to either merger or
demerge companies where it has any holding. EEC has interests across many
companies, with varying shareholdings. We believe that any such restructuring will be
a positive step for the minority shareholders of EEC, as it can free up capital and
reduce leverage on the balance sheet. However, the final details of restructuring are
likely to be announced by the end of June, 2010.

Over FY2008-10, EEC's OPM declined from 16.3% to 15.1%, on account of a slowdown
in order inflows and volatile raw material prices. Depreciation and Interest costs during
the same period increased by a CAGR of 53% and 46%, respectively. Thus, EEC's PAT
declined by a CAGR of 13.3% over FY2008-10. Going ahead, we estimate EEC's
OPM to remain stable at the current level of 15% over FY2011-12E, on the back of
robust order inflows, better execution and a reduction in the working capital cycle.

Improvement in Working capital cycle to reduce leverage
Working capital cycle to align with EEC's working capital requirements jumped to 185 days of sales in FY2009, compared
historical average and would stand to 175 days and 135 days of sales in FY2008 and FY2007, respectively. We believe
reduced that this was primarily due to a higher order inflow (34% yoy) in FY2008. Since most
of the basic metal commodities were ruling at high prices during that period, this led
to a high-cost inventory for the company. Higher order inflows also led to a relaxation
of receivables, in turn elongating the debtor cycle. However, going ahead, we believe
that due to the strong correction in commodity prices and the easing of available
working capital finance, the net working capital cycle would start aligning with its
historical average and would stand reduced.

ECC is likely to take advantage of the better, order inflow and working capital cycle,
by deleveraging its balance sheet. Over FY2010-12E, we expect the net leverage of

Key Downside Risks
Over-exposure to coal handling: EEC's revenue has an extremely high exposure to
Over-
contributions from its coal-handling segment (pertaining to the power sector). At the
end of FY2009, it contributed 54% of the total revenues. As most of the power projects
are financed by the central government, any delay in execution can impact the
performance of the company and, in turn, our estimates. However, given the company's
long track record in executing power-related projects, we expect company to face
minimal risks on this front.
Lack of skill set in metals hinders growth opportunity: EEC has been a focused player
with a strong skill set and execution ability pertaining to the coal-handling segment.
However, given the fact that it is present in the material-handling solutions segment,
EEC lacks a similar, strong skill set in the metals (ferrous + non-ferrous) vertical.
However, going ahead, EEC plans to develop its overall skill set to take advantage of
the opportunity arising from the metal segment
Fixed price contracts: Most of EEC's order are fixed price contracts; hence, any abnormal
up move in basic metal prices can negatively impact the operating margins of the
company.
Order cancellation: EEC's order from Brahmani Steel worth Rs323cr has been on
hold, as that company is likely to be taken over by another steel manufacturer. In the
case of a takeover, the order might be cancelled and can go for re-bidding. In this
case, the current order book would stand reduced by Rs323cr.
Other risks: The company is also exposed to other broader economic risks, including
a contraction in private capex activity and an increase in competition.

Outlook and Valuation
We believe that an improving economic scenario (indicated by the revival in the IIP),
the continued government focus on infrastructure spends, and the pick-up in private
capex augurs well for companies providing MHE solutions for the core sectors of the
economy. Overall, emerging opportunities for EEC are expected to be around
Rs32,500cr over FY2009-12E. The Power and Steel Sectors are likely to offer the
highest opportunity of Rs25,500cr. The government's strong focus on the Power Sector,
through "Power for all by 2012", is expected to result in an expansion of generation
capacity in the Sector, leading to higher opportunities for MHE players. While the
Mining and Port Sectors would throw up combined opportunities worth around
Rs7,000cr.
We believe that EEC is well placed to seize the upcoming opportunities in the power
sector, due its strong Order Book of Rs1,243cr at the end of 4QFY2010 (1.1x FY2010
Sales), which renders a high Revenue visibility for the company. Going ahead, over
FY2010-12E, we estimate the company's Adj PAT to register a CAGR of 37%, 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 15% and 17% in FY2010, to 21% and 23% in
FY2012E, respectively.
On the valuation front, during the last five years, EEC has traded in a one-year forward
P/E band of 1-53x, and average 14x. At Rs79, the stock is available at attractive
valuations of 7.7x FY2012E Earnings and 5x FY2012E EV/EBITDA, respectively. We
