EBITDA growth is backed by stellar volume performance, 5% rise in regasification tariffs and adoption of Ind AS 116 with ‘Lease Liability’. Its PBT grew by 11% YoY and 2% QoQ, 8%/6% higher than ours/consensus estimates. Reported net profit was higher due to adoption of lower tax rate. Net profit increased by 19% YoY to Rs6.75bn, (8%/2% higher than ours and consensus estimates). Despite delay in commissioning of Kochi-Mangalore pipeline (Mar’20), we believe lower spot LNG prices are a new growth driver, which will likely improve the LNG volume growth rate >9%/6% in FY20E/FY21E. Marginally increasing our earnings estimate by 1.1%/2.3% for FY20/21E owing to lower oil prices, slight up-tick in Kochi terminal tariff and increasing other income on higher cash and cash equivalent in books, we maintain HOLD recommendation on the stock with a DCF-based Target Price of Rs296. Stellar Operating Performance to Continue PLNG processed total LNG volume of 233TBTU in 3QFY20 (+15% YoY and -7% QoQ). Dahej terminal operated at 100% of its expanded capacity and processed 222TBTU (+13% YoY). Kochi terminal handled 11TBTUs of LNG at capacity utilisation of 17.5% (record level). In 3QFY20, stellar operating performance led by rise in India’s overall LNG imports (12% YoY) and increased LNG consumption from City Gas Distribution and fertiliser sector. Further, spot LNG prices were lower (average US$5.73/mmbtu vs. US$9.95/mmbtu in 3QFY19). Global LNG supply in CY19 increased by ~13% YoY led by commissioning of new capacities. Further, ~118MMT of new LNG capacity has already been sanctioned and will get commissioned over the next few years. The lower spot LNG pricing scenario seems to be a new growth driver for PLNG. Outlook & Valuation Delay in commissioning of Kochi-Mangalore pipeline (by Mar’20 now) and likely downward revision of Kochi regasification tariffs (from Rs104 to Rs79/mmbtu) could impact net profit by ~4%. However, Kochi terminal likely to touch utilisation levels to 30% in FY21. We expect stellar operating performance will lead to 8% CAGR in earnings over FY20E-FY22E. Further, PLNG hiked tariffs by 5% at Dahej and Kochi terminal. At CMP, the stock trades at 12.8x (below long-term 1-yr forward average 15.8x) of FY21 EPS. Further, we expect its RoCE/RoE to improve from 23%/22% in FY19 to 25%/24% in FY21E, as the Company is likely to sustain consistent growth in EBITDA and PAT over the next 2 years. We maintain HOLD recommendation on the stock with a DCF- based Target Price of Rs296.

Conference Call – Key Takeaways f Fall in Dahej terminal’s total re- gasification volume to 222tbtu in 3QFY20 from 240tbtu in

2QFY20 was mainly due to seasonality. Dabhol has started operations post monsoon. The capacity utilisation of Dabhol’s LNG terminal increased to 13.1% for Apr-Nov’19 period vs. 4.8% in Apr-Sept’19 period.

f Dahej is still operating at 100% utilisation level and the management expects it will continue to perform sustain it in 4QFY20E as well. Dahej has taken 5% tariff hike to Rs51.75/mmbtu.

f Tellurian LNG project: Timeline for non-binding agreement is 31st March 2020. The company still evaluating various options of investment for the project. Nothing has been finalised on the same as of now.

f Ras- Gas LNG price negotiation: Efforts are underway to bring down the contracted LNG prices in line with the market price (~US$5/mmbtu).

f Kochi Terminal: Post Mar’20, once the pipeline (Kochi-Mangalore) would be ready, the company expects Kochi terminal’s capacity utilisation to touch 30-35% . Current terminal utilisation is 17.5%. It supplies LNG from Kochi terminal at rate of 3.32mmscmd, out of which BPCL is taking 2.39mmscmd. Re-negotiations at Kochi terminal regasification tariffs are going on and the company is expecting downward revision of tariffs to Rs79.14/mmbtu (from Rs104.5/mmbtu). But, the company is seeking commitment towards volume offloading from the customers to ensure continued cash flow.

f Demand of LNG in Jan’20: As the winter was somewhat warmer, no significant offtake of spot LNG from gas power plants was reported.

f LNG fuel stations: LNG dispensing station requires Rs- 60-80mn. The company has planned to spend Rs1.26bn to set up LNG stations in FY21E. Its cash and cash equivalent stood at Rs46.78bn as of 3QFY20-end.

f Adoption of Ind As 116 has led to decrease in quarterly PBT Rs730mn. The management has given the following break-up during the earnings conference call: (1) Reversal items (positive ) At gross margin level, reversal of lease rental (Rs1.20bn), which the company was taking previously, is not considered now . (2) On the expense side (negative side) Depreciation (Rs890mn) and interest expense (Rs850mn) have been considered as per Ind-As 116 adjustment and Rs180mn reported as forex loss due to the lease liability restatement.

Risks to the View1) Lower-than-expected growth in LNG volume; 2)Lower-than-expected re-gas charges; 3)Any change in priority of domestic gas allocation to sectors; 4)Delay in pipeline commissioning: Kochi -Mangalore.
