2. Market Outlook | India Research
ABG Shipyard wins an order worth Rs385cr
ABG Shipyard has received new orders of 3 dry bulk vessels worth Rs385cr from Precious
Shipping (Thailand) which will be delivered within three years with one vessel getting
delivered each year. This is positive as order inflow was subdued in CY2009 and expect
order inflow to improve for company on account of improving scenario for shipping
industry. ABG's total order book stands at Rs12,100cr, of which the unexecuted portion is
around Rs9,000cr and is executable by FY2014E. This translates to 5.8x FY2010E
revenues, thus providing strong revenue visibility. Further management has indicated of
receiving Rs500cr from Essar and Rs35cr in form of subsidy pertaining to 4QFY2010
which will ease leverage. At the current market price the stock is trading at 6.3x FY2012E
earnings and 1.1x FY2012E book value. We maintain our Buy recommendation with
target price of Rs 354/ share.
Result Reviews
Areva T&D (1QCY2010)
Areva T&D India reported a dismal 1QCY2010 performance, which was well below our
estimates both on the top-line and bottom-line front. The company posted a top-line
de-growth of 10.7% yoy to Rs777cr (Rs870cr) for 1QCY2010, on back of slower than
expected execution of the outstanding order book. On the operating front, the company
extended its weak performance reporting a sharp dip in EBITDA margin by 707bp to 5.4%
(12.5%). Consequently, net profit for the quarter plunged 93.2% yoy to Rs3cr (Rs51cr),
which was well below our estimates. We maintain our Neutral recommendation on the
stock.
Corporation Bank
Corporation Bank reported a growth in Net Profit of 20% yoy to Rs312cr (Rs260cr), which
was ahead of our expectations, mainly on account of lower provisions for tax. The core
operating performance of the bank was in-line with our expectations. The key positive from
the results was robust growth in core non-interest income and an improvement in bank’s
asset quality. The advances growth of the bank shot up to 30.3% yoy in 4QFY2010 taking
the total advances to Rs63,203cr. The CASA ratio of the bank improved to 28.5% (from
23.3% in 3QFY2010, but lower than 31.0% in 4QFY2009) which is a seasonal
phenomenon usually in fourth quarter of every year. The bank continued its robust
performance in core fee income resulting in sequential improvement of 8.5% which was
attributable to a strong 25.8% qoq growth in Commission Exchange, Brokerage during the
quarter. The absolute level of Gross NPAs decreased by 13.5% sequentially to Rs651cr.
The gross NPA ratio of the bank improved to 1.0% (compared to 1.3% in 3QFY2010),
while Net NPAs stood at 0.3% (from 0.5% in 3QFY2010). The bank also improved its
provision coverage ratio to 70% from 65.7% in 3QFY2010. At the CMP, the stock is
trading at 5.9x FY2012E EPS of Rs85.4 and 1.0x FY2012E Adjusted Book Value of Rs526.
We believe that the stock sufficiently reflects the medium term positives at these valuations;
hence, we have a Neutral rating on the stock.

HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank reported a Net Profit growth of 32.6% yoy to Rs837cr, in line with our
estimates. Strong Business growth, improvement in Profitability and asset quality, coupled
with strong traction in CASA deposits, were the key positives from the results. Advances
registered a yoy growth of 28.7% to reach Rs1,27,262cr. Deposits reached Rs1,67,404cr
in 4QFY2010, up by 17.2% from Rs1,42,812cr in 4QFY2009. The CASA ratio increased
to 52% of total deposits during 4QFY2010, as against 44.4% as at 4QFY2009 and 51.7%
as at 3QFY2010. NIMs improved to 4.4% in 4QFY2010, as against 4.2% in 3QFY2010.
The asset quality of the bank improved sequentially, with Gross NPAs at 1.4% (1.6% in
3QFY2010) and net NPAs at 0.3% (0.4% in 3QFY2010). The NPA coverage ratio based
on specific provisions was at 78.4% in 4QFY2010, as compared to 72.4% in 3QFY2010
and 68.4% in 4QFY2009. At the CMP, the stock is trading at 16.4x FY2012E EPS of
Rs118.7 and 3.1x FY2012E ABV of Rs634.4. We maintain a Accumulate on the stock, with
an upward revised Target Price of Rs2,212, implying a return of 14%.
ICICI Bank
ICICI Bank’s net profit increased by 35.2% yoy, which was in line with our estimates. The
key positives from the results are further improvement in CASA to 41.7% and a declining
trend in slippages from retail loans for 4 consecutive quarters, though we would have liked
to see higher balance sheet and network growth from this quarter. Total deposits increased
by 2.2% qoq (declined by 7.5% yoy) to Rs2,02,017cr during 4QFY2010; advances
increased by 1.1% qoq (a decline of 17.0% yoy) to Rs1,81,206cr. The de-growth in
advances was sharper than expected especially considering the strong uptick in systemic
credit demand during 4QFY2010. The sharp drop in the advances book was attributable
to the repayments from retail, and short term corporate loans. The key positive from the
results was the improvement in the Bank’s CASA ratio to 41.7%% (from 39.6% in
3QFY2010 and 28.7% in 4QFY2009). The asset quality of the bank showed signs of
stabilising, with gross slippages at Rs700cr, driven by a sharp declining trend in slippages
in retail loans. At the CMP, the Bank’s Core Banking business (after adjusting Rs307 per
share towards the value of the subsidiaries) is trading at 1.9x FY2012E ABV of Rs518. We
value the Bank’s subsidiaries at Rs307 per share and the core Bank at Rs862 (2.25x
FY2012E ABV). We maintain a Buy on the stock, with a Target Price of Rs1,169, implying
an upside of 20.0%.
Pantaloon Retail (3QFY2010)
Pantaloon Retail (PRIL) reported a decent 3QFY2010 performance, The company posted a
top-line growth of 25.3% yoy to Rs2058cr (Rs1642cr) for 3QCY2010 as Value , Lifestyle
and Home retailing posted a higher growth on the back of low base effect of last year as
well as pick-up in consumer sentiment. . On the operating front, the EBITDA improved by
24.6%yoy to Rs215.6cr (Rs173cr) while the margins were flat on yoy basis. Consequently,
net profit for the quarter improved by 62.7% yoy to Rs55.9cr (Rs34.4cr). We maintain our
Accumulate recommendation on the stock with a 15 month Target Price of Rs469.

Reliance Industries
RIL reported lower-than expected 4QFY2010 numbers on the Top-line and EBITDA front.
Top-line increased 120.7% yoy to Rs57,570cr (Rs26,082cr) primarily on the back of the
164.7% yoy growth in Refining Revenues to Rs51,250cr (Rs19,365cr) and a whopping
486.7% yoy increase in Oil & Gas Revenues to Rs4,318cr (Rs736cr). Growth in the
Refining Segment was driven by the increase in Refining throughput during the quarter
coupled with the increase in crude oil prices. Crude oil processed during the quarter was
higher by 114.4% yoy to 16.7mn tonnes (7.79mn tonnes) following commissioning of the
SEZ refinery. KG-D6 gas production further scaled up in the current quarter with average
production increasing to 60mmscmd. During the quarter, RIL reported GRMs of US
$7.5/bbl (US $9.9/bbl) as against our expectation of US $8.5/bbl. Benchmark complex
Singapore Margins, during the quarter, stood at around US $4.9/bbl. Thus, RIL managed
to earn a spread of US $2.6/bbl, which was lower than spread seen in 3QFY2010. The
primary reason for the lower-than-expected spread over the benchmark Singapore
margins is the absence of fuel oil in RIL's product slate (notably fuel oil spreads improved
during 4QFY2010 in turn aiding expansion of the benchmark Singapore margins).
Moreover, the benchmark refining margins in RIL's target markets, viz. North America (US
Gulf Coast Margins) was lower at US $3.0/bbl. EBIT Margins of the Petrochemical
Segment was in line with our expectation following the significant softening of PP spreads
on a yoy a basis. Petchem Margins strengthened on a qoq basis on account of strong
Petrochemical deltas. Oil & Gas EBIT Margins declined by a substantial 2,457bp yoy to
39.4% (64.9%) on account of higher Depreciation of KG-D6. Operating Profit grew by
60.1% yoy to Rs9,136cr (Rs5,707cr), which was lower than our estimate by 7.6% on
account of lower than expected Refining Margins. Depreciation during the quarter
exceeded our estimate spiking 134.6% yoy on account of the additional depreciation of the
SEZ refinery and KG-basin gas facility. Interest expenditure was largely flat at Rs525cr,
down 0.9% yoy. Other Income at Rs615cr, fell 39.7% yoy and came in higher than our
estimate of Rs500cr. PAT grew 19.1% yoy to Rs4,710cr (Rs3,627cr), which was lower than
our expectation of Rs5,109cr mainly because of lower-than-expected Refining Margins. Tax
rate during the quarter was lower at 19.2% as against our expectation of 21.0%.
Overall, RIL has successfully executed its two mega ventures, viz. KG basin gas and the SEZ
refinery with minimal execution problems. We expect these ventures to be likely key drivers
of Profitability over the next couple of years. Ramp up of gas production and higher oil
production would likely increase the share of E&P in the Profit matrix. We believe the key
factors to watch out for in the near term are Supreme Court verdict on the KG-basin gas
dispute and inorganic growth plans pursued by RIL. In case of litigation, we have already
factored the adverse impact of the same post the high court judgment. Thus, there exists
limited downside on this count. Given its valuation of 1.9x FY2012E P/BV, we believe that
the company is relatively undervalued at current levels. We maintain a Buy on RIL, with a
Target Price of Rs1,260, translating into an upside of 15.9% from current levels.
Wipro
Wipro recorded a 0.7% qoq growth (6.9% yoy growth) in its overall Net Revenue in
4QFY2010 to Rs6,978cr. In Rupee terms, combined IT Service Revenues clocked a 1.9%
qoq growth (6.7% yoy growth), backed by a 4.1% qoq growth in volumes. The company
won two $100mn size deals and acquired 27 new clients during the quarter. Wipro
recorded a 28bp qoq contraction (26bp yoy expansion) in its overall EBITDA Margins at
21.6% mainly due to unfavorable cross currency movements and due to wage hike.
However despite of lower margins the company reported a 1.5% qoq (22.4% yoy) jump in
the Bottom-line to Rs1,236cr mainly due to higher other income. At the current levels, we
maintain an Accumulate on the stock with Target Price of Rs790.
