Infosys : "Meritocracy to growth"

"BUY"

4th Mar 2014

In the recent webcast, Mr. Narayan Murthy expressed its view regarding senior level exits from the company. In near term, non-performers in
Infosys could be asked to leave or may hand over layoff notices. Infosys will retain its revenue acceleration and margin expansion, also operating
metrics will turn into greenery from hay. At a CMP of Rs 3793, it trades at 17.4x FY15E earnings. We retain our “BUY” view on the stock with a
target price of target price of Rs 3910 . ............................................................... ( Page : 7-9)

Powergrid :

"BUY"

3th Mar 2014

The stock is trading at 1.7x FY15E BVPS. We estimate to Power grid stock to trade at 1.8x BVPS. Valuation is very reasonable for a business
model with RoE (16%), strong growth visibility and minimal operational risks. We valued stock for a 12 month period at a target price of
Rs.118.With equity dilution overhang on the stock is removed, so we expect the stock price will drive by purely on its fundamentals, on our
estimates we maintain a positive fundamental outlook for Power grid. Also, govt. stake coming down to 58% is a positive, as risk of further
equity dilution is reduced . ............................................................ (Page : 10)

Private Sector Banks Result Review 3QFY14

3th Mar 2014

Private Banks are trading at significantly lower or reasonable valuation when compare to their historical trend due to possible deterioration in
asset quality earnings pressure and political un-clarity. We prefer private banks over PSBs largely due to their capability to report healthy
earnings, higher capital adequacy ratio and lower or stable asset quality. Our top picks in sector are HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Indusind Bank and
DCB. ............................................................................ ( Page : 13-14)

Outlook
An increase in volumes is an indication of healthy demand. The rise in volumes for this quarter
can be attributed to a good monsoon. Tractor sales seem to have improved across all players,
indicating an overall improvement in demand. We believe that this segment will continue to
support the growth of the company. The adverse macroeconomic conditions, however, will see
the performance of its construction equipment segment and auto ancillary segment remaining
subdued. For these businesses, the firm is looking at premium product positioning and to deliver
a better than expected customer experience. In addition, it is looking at the export market as a
window of opportunity especially in the auto ancillary business.
Valuation
The stock is currently trading at 6.5x FY14E EPS with a negative bias in case of construction
equipment segment due to adverse macroeconomic conditions . At current price of Rs. 117, the
stock is trading at P/E of 7.1 x for FY13E and 6.5 x the FY14E. Escorts could post EPS of Rs. 12.13
for FY14E and Rs. 12.98 for FY15E. An increase in volumes is an indication of healthy demand.
Tractor sales revival has enabled the company to register strong result. Escorts’ EBITDA margin
and bottom-line exceeded our expectations. Going forward, we remain positive on the
company’s growth prospects particularly in AMP segment. Going forward, we remain positive on
the company’s growth prospects particularly in AMP segment. We expect demand to improve
further in FY2014E with the economic recovery. However, we remain cautious with regards to
growth in Construction Equipment segment in near-to-medium. Thus, We revise our estimates
upwards to factor in the strong CY13 tractor volume performance. We therefore revised our
rating on the stock from "Reduce" to "Buy" and advised to our investors to enter at current
level with Revised price target of Rs. 175

In the recent webcast, Mr. Narayan Murthy expressed its view regarding senior level
exits from the company. In near term, non-performers in Infosys could be asked to
leave or may hand over layoff notices. Despite high salaries, some identified
employees are not contributing so much to improve productivity and efficiency of
operations. Already, the restructuring initiatives has taken place at the top of the
pyramid and now shifted to mid level of pyramid. Hence, its pink slip strategy indicates
to regain its growth and margin in near term.
Considering the strategy to build clients relation, execution of growth oriented policy
and combination of reduced onsite costs and higher utilization would be an optimistic
growth story despite recent hiccups of top management exit.
Key takeaways from recent webcast;
Restructuring at middle management: Mr. Murthy has taken initiatives to improve
cost efficiency and effective delivery system. The management has rewarded the top
performers and has given an opportunity to mediocre performers. Its PIP (performance
Improvement Program) followed by exam, and appraisal would dictate the level of
efficiency for mediocre, and the situation of involuntary attrition.

Cost Rationalization: Company’s employee costs have ballooned very rapidly in the last
2-3 years. For example, on-site compensation was 36% of the overall revenue in FY11
and it went up to 46.3% in FY13, Overall employee cost on sales increased from
52%(FY09) to 56% (FY13). Company has hired a number of employees at higher salaries
outside India and employees are not adding efficient growth in productivity.
Improving utilization level: Comparing with other peers, its utilization level (excluding
trainees) declined from 80% in FY11 to 74% in FY13. Post NRN entry, company had
hiked offshore wage at the rate of 8% and overseas at 3%. We expect that company’s
management could decide for wage hike across onsite as well as offshore to enhance its
utilization rate in near term.
View and Valuation: Infosys seems to be on its way to rediscovering its past mojo with
revenue momentum kicking, and the NRN invisible hand in play. Further announcement
of strategic acquisitions, better utilization of cash balances, better deal win, consistent
client traction and revenue momentum would help the company to bridge the gap with
rivals such as TCS.
On an ongoing basis, Infosys will retain its revenue acceleration and margin expansion,
also operating metrics will turn into greenery from hay. Upgradation of earning
guidance by management hinted to join the party to enjoy with 12-14% earnings
growth for FY14E like other top bellwether. At a CMP of Rs 3793, it trades at 17.4x
FY15E earnings. We retain our “BUY” view on the stock with a target price of target
price of Rs 3910 .

Employee cost on sales at all time high


Total Employee and additions,

Looking to bring in about maximum 6,000
off-campus offers, Infosys will hire up to
16,000 engineers next year.


Headcount Metrics:

Its attrition increased to 18% from
17.3%(2QFY14) on LTM basis, however
on sequentially basis they have been able
to control its attrition. we hope that the
further salary hikes across the board will
bring down the attrition levels going
forward.


Utilization:

The Company's Utilization is likely to
keep inching up, which could lead to
margin expansion for a couple of
quarters and that is going to be a huge
positive for Infosys as a company.

Infosys.
Key facts from Management Interview;
■ Management upgraded its earning guidance for FY14E from 9-10% to 11.5-12%. This
guidnace means the company only has to achieve flat growth in the fourth quarter to
meet the projection.
■ With 85% of the company’s revenues coming from clients based in US and Europe, the
company should hope the current economic recovery in developed countries would help
its revenues.
■They are seeing confidence coming back from client’s metrics. However, they expect
[their] budgets only remain stable from last year. Clients are still focused on cost.
■ The Company is looking to bring in about maximum 6,000 off-campus offers starting
late January early February, so there is a lot of activity going on that is bringing people in,
engaging and developing.

Overall revenues increased 9.6% YoY to Rs.3685 crore due to lower than anticipated
capitalisation (Rs.3050 crore) in Q3FY14 . Income increased 6.5%, 10.0% and 121.9% YoY
in transmission, telecom and consultancy income, respectively. Other income declined
9.7% YoY to Rs.116 crore as cash was deployed across various upcoming projects.
Margins declined 336 bps YoY to 87.4% due to 55.7% YoY rise in transmission & other
expenses to Rs.333 crore. Tax expenses increased 7.5% YoY to Rs. 399 crore. Q3FY13
included a one-time income of Rs.167 crore as wage revision benefit. Adjusting the same,
PAT increased 4.3% YoY to Rs.1,043 crore.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) issued the final tariff regulations for
the period FY15-19 – these regulations form the basis of Power Grid’s earnings (regulated
returns) from its core transmission business over the next five years.The Key take aways
of these Regulations are Normative TAF (NATAF) for incentives lowered; no incentive for
TAF >99.75% .Normative O&M charges raised (vs. draft), but still below FY14 levels.

Capitalisation of assets remains on track. Till Jan end the company has capitalised Rs
118bn of assets which is 70% of our full year estimate. Since last two months of the year
usually account for the bulk of yearly commissioning we are confident that the co. will meet
our estimate of Rs 170bn for FY14.

Power Grid's Raichur-Solapur line has been connected to national grid. Management Says
there were four trippings in the first week. Two were to increase reliability and were
done intentionally, and the other two were because of a few glitches. For the last month
there has been no tripping.
View & Recommendation
With equity dilution overhang on the stock is removed, so we expect the stock price will
drive by purely on its fundamentals, on our estimates we maintain a positive fundamental
outlook for Power grid. Also, govt. stake coming down to 58% is a positive, as risk of
further equity dilution is reduced
The stock is trading at 1.7x FY15E BVPS. We estimate to Power grid stock to trade at 1.8x
BVPS. Valuation is very reasonable for a business model with RoE (16%), strong growth
visibility and minimal operational risks. We valued stock for a 12 month period at a target
price of Rs.118.

immense benefit from this revival.Its technical collaboration and equity participation with one of
the world leaders also helping the company to adopt latest technology in manufacturing process.
A major portion of company’s income is from exports and the currency valuation of currency is
also positive for it. Steel industry in the US and in Europe is coming out of pro-longed recession
and demand in India is also expected to pick up on account of major projects getting started.
Increase in capital expenditure for capacity expansion by major steel producers both within India
and internationally augurs well for the refractory industry

expect it to gradually reduce over time to 0.28x in FY15E.Company having an uninterrupted
dividend paying record for the past four years. Promoters holding more than 70 % stake (NIL
pledged) in the company and another 7 % is held by large investors. At a time the steel industry
is showing revival, We expect IFGL will report its best ever performance in this full year.
Considering industry’s improving prospects, stabilization of production from its newly built plant
at Kandla SEZ and out performance of company in its financials, We don’t expect any scope for
deep correction, hence recommending a BUY.

Better than expected NII on the back of margin expansion and loan growth
In our coverage universe, banks NII grew by 15.7% YoY largely due to stable margin
and loan growth. Private sector banks are getting benefit from their high base CASA
franchise and low share of high cost wholesale bulk deposit. HDFC Bank, ICICI
Bank, Indusind Bank and DCB were continued to report 20%+ NII growth whereas
Federal Bank, INGVYSYA Bank, J&K Bank saw some stress in their earnings.
Well structure balance sheet led healthy growth at operating profit level
Operating expenses in our coverage universe remained stable on sequential basis
and on very positive note; they delivered on an average basis growth of 19.8% YoY
at operating profit level. This was due to healthy NII growth, stable fee income and
controlled operating leverage. We have highlighted above that banks with healthy
operating profit would do better going forward as strong performance at operating
profit level would be possible only in case of well structure balance sheet growth.
Economic growth and stress in asset quality issue would be resolve with the passage
of time. Although we have not seen any revival in economy nor improvement in asset
quality in near term but private sector banks are trading significant discount as
against their historical valuation due to possible fear of deterioration in assets.
Profitability increased due to healthy NII growth, controlled CI ratio and stable
asset quality
Most of banking stocks are trading at lower side of valuation band due to earnings
pressure, higher operating leverage and asset quality. In our coverage universe,
bank reported profit growth of 16.6% YoY higher than our expectation led by margin

Nifty Vs Bank Nifty during Year

expansion, controlled operating leverage and stable asset quality. Although we saw
some earnings pressure in many large and mid cap banks on which Axis bank’s
profitability was boost up by right back of investment depreciation and Yes Bank’s
provisions and contingencies was almost down by 100% which inflated profit growth
by 21.4% YoY.
Asset quality continues to persist and would take time despite of uptick in
economy
Private sector banks delivered better when compare to PSBs in term of asset quality
at sequential basis. Sequentially banks reported stable asset quality with high
coverage ratio which provided cushion to their earnings. But in our sense, asset
quality pressure continues to persist because economy growth is likely to be tepid
and it will take some time for recovery in domestic industrial activity and corporate
balance sheet’s leverage to decline. According to S&P, with the uptick in economy,
bank will have take some time for revival as banks have to struggle for capital base
too for further growth but private banks have adequate capital base and healthy tier1 capital. Outlook of asset quality in system is not positive and it would remain
challenge for banks in FY14.


13

Well structure balance sheet growth and high CASA base would help to keep
profitability up
We like those banks which did well at operating profit level, keeping in mind that with
slower pace of economy growth and rising interest rate scenario, asset quality pressure
would persist. Provision and contingencies are already expected to remain high. Most of
bank’s profitability was down owing to higher provisions against loan loss. With the
recovery in economy loan growth and asset quality would improve with the passage of
time but operating leverage and margin expansion are permanent structure of balance
sheet. Banks with strong CASA base and adequate deposits growth that could support
loan growth easily without depending upon external fund would do better in going
forward.
Outlook
Private Banks are trading at significantly lower to their historical valuation or reasonable
valuation due to their possible earnings pressure and asset quality issue. This is on
account of sluggish economic growth and political un-clarity. Some banks in our universe
are capable to generate high level of profit, have high capital adequacy ratio and lower
level of stress. In our sense these banks would do better in current economy macro
situation. Out top picks are HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Indusind Bank and DCB.

IT Industry: 3QFY14 results review
"Clear acceleration in growth"
Price performance of our coverage:

Mix performance and margin sustainability, future outlook appears positive;
For IT Industry, 3QFY14 has carried out a quarter of mix set of numbers largely impacted
by seasonality and furloughs impact. However, most of companies expressed its
sanguine view for industry outlook and demand discretionary environment ahead. The
Top-4 companies responded a decent set of performance despite seasonally weak
quarter with aggregate revenue of 2.8% in USD term (QoQ).
Comparing with street expectation, Infosys and HCL Tech beat the street, while TCS and
Wipro reported inline set of numbers. On margin front, they surprised positively with
back-to-back quarters of margin improvement led by operational efficiencies and cost
rationalization.
Post earnings, almost all companies management have expressed for better earnings
outlook in near term and they were confident to see stronger FY15E than FY14E on
healthy growth prospect and a secular improvement in demand trend.

Index Performance:

▲ 43%

(Source: Eastwind)
▲ 9.4%

(Source: Eastwind)

Key takeaways from 3QFY14 earnings:
USD revenue was marginally inline and Positive FY15E outlook: Reported USD revenues
were in line or very marginally below our estimate during the seasonally weak quarter
across the top tier. A part of this, companies management have given better outlook with
margin expansion for FY15E, even NASSCOM aired the earning guidance of 13-15% for
FY15E, better than FY14E and FY13.
Margin ramped up across the Tier-1 and most of mid cap space: Despite flattish currency
benefit, companies have been efficient to maintain its margin because of reinvested
higher growth and efficient strategy to improve utilization. With macro improving and
positive growth outlook, the operating advantage from investment is likely beginning to
play out.
SMAC and Digital were subject to discussion: Emerging verticals SMAC (Social, Mobility,
Analytics and Cloud) and Digital transformation are expected to bring next generation of
growth in IT Industry. A number of IT companies, especially tier-1 IT companies have
expressed its priority area and strategy to pan-out growth opportunities on these
emerging verticals. Current uptrend in discretionary spend is being driven by the same.
Deal Pipeline remains healthy: During the quarter, weak seasonality marginally impacted
order inflow. For near term, deal pipeline remains healthy and somehow, Pricing will be
marginally under pressure in the traditional IT segment, Application Development and
Management segment. While, we do not see any pressure on new emerging segments like
SMAC, Digital, Infra, etc.

Industry Outlook:

For FY15E, NASSCOM expects IT exports
to grow by 13-15% and domestic market
to grow by 9-12% based on broad
feedback loop from companies and
captives.

We have seen a significant increase in global technology spending this year, creating
opportunities for the Indian software services sector to post double-digit growth again in
export as well as in the domestic markets. FY15E promises to be bigger and stronger than
the last 3 years, which were marked by bloodbath in global markets due to Euro-zone
crisis and falling consumer confidence in the US. Demand is set to pick up in sectors like
BFSI, healthcare, retail and transportation globally in the year ahead.
For FY15E, We expect that strong fundamentals should help to sustain earning
momentum in FY15E. Foray into niche verticals and executions of large deal would play an
important factor for better earning visibility in near future. There is a window of
opportunity for competent large caps and midcaps to displace incumbents and gain some
incremental business. In the past 4 quarters, large caps (four companies) have grown at
3.4% CQGR, while midcaps (five companies) at 3.2%which is comparable to larger peers.

Concerns:
US Immigration Bill to remain an
overhang in short-to-medium term,

However, hardening of regulatory related to visa approval in USA, Canada and Australia
could spoil the party. Even, the approval of Immigration Bill attached with higher visa fee,
wage requirements and enhanced audit by US agencies could turn the growth story of
Indian IT players adversely. If passed in its current form, the Bill could hurt the margins of
the Indian IT export sector, which derives almost 55-60% of its revenues from USA.

Our top picks:
TCS and HCLT are growing the fastest
and
with
tremendous
margin
performance. Infy is accelerating growth
…

While all companies are accelerating its revenue growth and shaping up its margin
because of favorable demand and supply environment. Across the tier-1 IT space, TCS,
INFY and HCL TECH remain our best picks in order of our preference. These companies
are very much optimistic to improve margin as well as operational efficiencies with
healthy deal pipeline across emerging verticals as well as traditional IT Space under
positive demand scenario.
Hence, with strong medium term earnings visibility, better demand environment and
optimistic management comments, we maintain our positive stance on (In order of
preference) TECHM, PERSISTENT, ZENSARTECH, ECLERX and KPIT under mid cap space.
