May 9, 2016 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update Doomsday in offshore; tankers continue support Gesco’s results for Q4FY16 were significantly lower than our estimates. Revenues remained flattish YoY (down 8% QoQ) to | 877 crore (I-direct estimate: | 990 crore). Revenue for the quarter was adversely impacted by lower offshore revenues that were flat YoY (down 9% QoQ) to | 418 crore. Shipping revenues grew 13% YoY (up 3% QoQ) to | 552 crore. Revenue days for shipping and offshore segment were at 2659 days and 1918, respectively EBITDA for the quarter grew 20% YoY (down 17% QoQ) to | 424 crore (I-direct estimate: | 535 crore). EBITDA margins were at 48% (I- direct estimate: 54%), mainly hit by lower utilisation levels & re- pricing in offshore segment. Benefit of lower bunker cost was partly offset by marginal increase in stores, spares, repair expenses PAT for the second consecutive quarter was adversely impacted by exceptional impairment charge of | 145 crore in Q4FY16 (| 16 crore in Q3FY16). Accounting for the same, reported PAT was at | 58 crore against our expectation of | 299 crore. Adjusting for the exceptional loss, PAT for the quarter was at | 235 crore For full year FY16, revenues grew 10.7% YoY to | 3805 crore, with EBITDA of | 2028 crore (up 54% YoY) and PAT of | 1039 crore (up 39% YoY) Offshore plays party pooper; cautious trajectory ahead… Gesco operates in the offshore segment through its wholly owned subsidiary Greatship (India) Ltd comprising ~45% of total revenues. The global utilisation level for offshore segment is at alarming 60% levels. Jack-up utilisation has dropped to 70% or lower from ~90% at the start of 2014. In addition to the same, roughly 40-50% of AHTSVs and PSVs are idle/stacked or working spot. Given the exploration and production (E&P) spending marked down for second consecutive year by ~25%, the demand for offshore is expected to remain subdued. We believe as the current order book for offshore vessels continue to remain elevated, subdued demand would continue to put pricing pressure on renewals of offshore assets. Revival in dry bulk temporary; tankers to moderate, going ahead… The average Baltic Dry Index (BDI) for Q4FY16 was at 359 level compared to 614 in Q4FY15. Though following the revival in April 2016 to 700 levels, sustainability of the same remains a concern. The current recovered levels of BDI are still way below the breakeven levels of 2000. As metal price recover, scrapping volumes for the first four months were at 17 million DWT compared to 42 million DWT in CY15. With the current order book estimated at ~20% of the existing fleet size, scrapping needs to continue to keep these BDI rates sustained. Continued higher supply and maintenance of floating reserves would keep rates moderate. Fleet size in favour of tanker has helped Gesco face the turmoil in the shipping sector.

Company Analysis Higher supply from dry bulk fleet addition; tanker rates to stay afloat

Since 2010, the dry bulk fleet has increased the most given the higher execution from shipyards. In addition to the same, the trade scenario continues to remain subdued, resulting in BDI crashing to 30-year low levels. Subsequently, the shale gas revolution in the US together with geopolitical risks arising in Iran and the Middle & North Africa (MENA) region resulted in long-haul trade routes such as China, India and Latin-America. In terms of global fleet addition, crude and product tanker segment tonnage capacity increased at a CAGR of ~4.5% over 2007-13. As the segment added lower capacity vis-à-vis the dry bulk segment, the freight rates downfall was arrested, to a large extent. In the dry bulk segment, capacity addition of nearly 106 and 58 million dwt was done in CY12 and CY13, respectively. Though the dry bulk segment fleet addition has tapered it is expected to grow at 6% and 4% in CY15 and CY16, respectively. Consequently, freight rates continue to remain subdued. However, with a slower than expected pick-up in global seaborne trade, Gesco has revised its earlier plans of adding 5 to 3 Kamsarmax dry bulk carriers in FY17. Furthermore the company intends to add medium range product tanker, which would join the fleet by Q4FY16. Exhibit 1: World fleet growth; concern for dry bulk…!!!

Lower scrapping continued the elevated capacity

Due to decline in commodity prices, realisation of scrap remained as low as $300 a tonne. Following the same, the scrapping has seen a significant slowdown in the earlier years.

Decline in E&P expenditure, oversupply plague offshore segment Gesco through its subsidiary Greatship Ltd operates 25 offshore vessels, which includes four jack-up rigs, five platform support vessels, eight AHTSV, two MPSSV and six ROVSVs. Gesco’s offshore segment is pretty young with average age of nearly four years and is equipped with technologically advanced positioning and fire fighting equipment. Further, as safety becomes an important issue for oil companies, a young and advanced fleet due to higher efficiency and minimum downtime comes as a natural choice. Globally, an offshore vessel fleet is more than 22 years old whereas jack-up rigs are about 24 years. Exhibit 3: Fleet profile Nos. Jackup Rigs AHTSV's PSVCurrent fleet 484 1913 1428

Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com Research

Currently, the order book for jack up rigs is at 27% of current fleet (484 rigs) followed by PSV and AHTSV with order book of nearly 18% and 11% of current fleet, respectively. On the demand front, global E&P companies are expected to reduce spending by ~25% YoY. Consequently, utilisation and demand levels are expected to taper for offshore companies. Favourable fleet configuration keeps earnings afloat With a proactive management at the helm, Gesco has deliberately reduced its exposure to the dry bulk segment. Further, on the back of higher tanker rates majority of the carriers are held on spot market. The management also gains from fluctuations of asset rates on the back of trading of ships. Gesco is the second largest shipping fleet operator in the country with 31 ships totalling ~2.4 million dwt haulage capacity and an average age of 9.6 years. Gesco’s fleet profile is skewed towards the tanker segment due to which it was comparatively less impacted by the meltdown in the shipping industry. Softness in dry bulk shipping freight rates continued on the back of subdued trade environment. Following this, the revenue visibility for shipping for FY17 was at | 597 crore while for the offshore segment in the same period it was at | 1318 crore. Exhibit 4: Topline performance trend

Net asset value impacted by lower utilisation In terms of net asset value, over the past 10 years (FY05-14) Gesco recorded an average NAV of | 560 on a consolidated basis with a peak of | 632 in FY08. However, since the crisis, the NAV declined at a CAGR of ~8% over FY08-13 as asset prices plummeted globally. However, on the back of steady seaborne trade growth at a CAGR of 5% between 2012 and 2014, asset prices had increased. Prices climbed sharply over FY13-14 posting growth of 30% YoY against an average of 8% in the past three years (FY11 to FY13). In Q2FY16, NAV was at | 565, which sequentially improved from | 518 in FY15. Gesco’s average market price has always traded at a discount to its NAV. However, given the current volatility in the offshore markets, the management over the past two quarters is unable to share consolidated NAV. However, standalone NAV sequentially de-grew 8% QoQ to | 337 compared to | 367 in Q3FY16. Exhibit 11: NAV to market price discount

Valuation Gesco has passed an enabling resolution to raise | 500 crore via issuance of unsecured non-convertible debentures (NCDs). In addition, the company at any given point of time holds ~| 2000 crore of cash. This additional liquidity will give the company financial muscle to buy and sell assets on timely basis which remains key to GE Shipping’s stable financial performance in spite of being in a cyclical industry. The composition of the fleet (crude, dry bulk, offshore) has mostly been balanced and in line with the market outlook for specific segments. The company has not shied away from reducing exposure to a segment that has a depressed outlook and adding vessels from a segment where the prospects are better. All this has been achieved with a moderate leverage compared to its peers who have been at the wrong end of the asset purchase/sale cycle or over aggressive on a specific segment resulting in fleet concentration and, thereby, highly volatile earnings. We believe GE Shipping would continue its consistent performance on the back of a diversified fleet profile. Its presence in the high margin offshore segment would enable it to have revenue visibility, going ahead, and reduce the volatility in revenues and cushion its earnings. Rates for tanker segment have remained stable and improved significantly over the past year. Going ahead, the product tanker category and gas carriers are expected to perform well on back of firmer charter rates. However, adding to the woes of dry bulk rates, which have declined/stagnant, offshore has dented the future prospects of the company. The average P/BV multiple for Gesco was 0.6x in FY14 against 0.57x in FY13. Going ahead, as overall outlook remains bleak we continue to value Gesco at 0.5x P/BV to FY18 estimated book value of | 650. Subsequently we arrive at a fair price of | 325 and have a HOLD recommendation on the stock. Exhibit 12: P/BV trend
