Graphite India reported a 66% year-over-year increase in 4QFY2010 sales, in line with estimates. Full year FY2010 sales fell 10.1%, lower than expected, due to lower production at the company's German facility. However, operating margins increased to a strong 29.4% for FY2010 due to higher realizations. Going forward, the company is well positioned for growth due to increasing demand from the steel industry and its capacity expansion plans. The report maintains a "Buy" recommendation on the stock based on its attractive valuation and growth outlook.

Graphite India’s (GIL) 4QFY2010 Sales growth of 66% yoy, on a Standalone Investment Period 12 Months
basis, came in line with our estimates. However, FY2010 Sales (Consolidated)
fell slightly more than our expectation due to the lower-than-expected Stock Info
production at the company’s Nuremberg facility. Nevertheless, going forward,
Sector Capital Goods
we believe that the company is well placed on account of strengthening

FY2011E and FY2012E. At current levels, the stock is available at attractive
valuations. We maintain a Buy on the stock. 52 WK High / Low 112/38
Muted Sales, Strong Margins: FY2010 Sales (Consolidated) fell 10.1%, much Avg. Daily Volume 152,552
lower than our estimates, mainly because of the 50% drop in production at its Face Value (Rs) 2
German facility. Production at the Indian plants fell 24% yoy. However, OPM
for FY2010 increased to a strong 29.4% (24.4%) owing to higher realizations. BSE Sensex 16,995
Interest cost for the year fell to Rs14.5cr (Rs35.1cr) mainly due to lower Nifty 5,094
working capital requirements. Consequently, PAT for the year came in line
with our estimate at Rs235cr. Reuters Code GRPH.BO

Outlook and Valuation: Going ahead, we expect the demand for graphite
electrodes to be strong as steel manufacturing through the EAF route picks up Shareholding Pattern (%)
and the effect of de-stocking of inventories reverses. The company’s move to
increase capacity at the Durgapur facility by 22,000MT/year as against the Promoters 63.6
earlier plan to increase it by 10,500MT/year would provide a major boost to MF/Banks/Indian FLs 14.3
the company’s future growth prospects. Margins are expected to stay strong at
over 24% levels during the next few years. Overall, we expect GIL to register a FII/NRIs/OCBs 8.1

Key Highlights
For 4QFY2010, the company’s Sales grew at an impressive 66.5% yoy and 21.4%
qoq albeit on a low base due to the slowdown in 4QFY2009. In 4QFY2010, OPM at
29.0% fell from the high of 36.8% in 3QFY2010. For FY2010, Standalone OPM
stood at the historical high of 33.5%. This came primarily due to the fact that
globally graphite electrode prices increased in CY2009 on higher needle coke
prices, but other raw material and manufacturing costs fell during the year. Going
ahead, OPMs are expected to further correct to more reasonable levels of around
24.0%. PAT Margin for 4QFY2010 was 16.4% compared to 22.6% in 3QFY2010.
Sales in FY2010 were boosted by the availability of the High Speed Steel
manufacturing capacity throughout the year. Steel Division Sales registered 145.0%
yoy and 32.4% qoq increase in Sales for 4QFY2010.

Key takeaways from Management discussion
• Global leaders like SGL and GrafTech have shown more aggression to win
orders in the last few months to ensure better capacity utilisation. Consequently,
graphite electrode prices have declined by 8-10% over the last few months.
• Management expects downside in pricing to be minimal, 3-4% at most, over the
next couple of quarters. Post that, as demand for graphite electrodes increases,
capacity utilisation of the global players will increase and prices would start
firming up again.
• Currently, graphite electrodes contracts are quarterly or half-yearly in nature.
• Management expects the contracts to remain quarterly, till there is volatility in
prices. Once there is stability in prices and buyers expect secular firming of
prices, the contracts are expected to return to annual basis.
• Currently, expansion at the Durgapur facility is progressing slowly. However, it is
expected to pick up from 1Q or 2Q of FY2011E to get completed within the
targeted time frame.
Other developments
The company has announced final dividend of Rs3.5/share for FY2010, viz. 175% of
the Face Value. Last year, the Dividend was Rs3.0/share.

Outlook and Valuation
The outlook for GIL remains promising over the next few years, as steel production
through the EAF route is expected to increase. In fact, current overall steel production
is near its pre-crisis levels of 2007 and 2008. We maintain our estimates for
FY2011E and FY2012E. We expect Sales to increase at a CAGR of 19.1% over
FY2010-12E. OPMs are expected to be 24.4% and 24.2% in FY2011E and FY2012E
respectively. We expect the company to post an EPS of Rs12.2 in FY2011E and
Rs14.0 in FY2012E. At the CMP, the stock is trading at 1.2x and 1.1x FY2011E and
FY2012E P/BV, respectively. Given the company’s strong growth potential and
attractive valuations, we maintain a Buy on the stock, with a Target Price of Rs117.
