Result Update
Impact of liquidity crunch easing…
UltraTech reported a good set of Q4FY17 numbers. Revenues increased
3.0% YoY to | 6,595.3 crore (above I-direct estimate of | 5,894.1 crore)
mainly led by 1.0% YoY rise in volumes to 13.7 MT (vs. I-direct estimate
of 12.2 MT) and 2.0% YoY increase in realisation to | 4,801 (vs. I-direct
estimate of | 4,815)
EBITDA/tonne declined 8.1% YoY to | 931/tonne in Q4FY17 (better than
I-direct estimate of | 885/tonne due to operating leverage benefit)
In FY17, revenues increased 0.8% YoY to | 23,891.4 crore mainly due to
1.0% YoY increase in volumes. Further, EBITDA margins increased 130
bps YoY to 20.8% in FY17
The company has recommended a dividend of | 10 per share. For the
acquisition of Jaiprakash Associates, the company has received
sanction of National Law Tribunal and Sebi
Improvement in demand-supply scenario to boost utilisation
Over FY08-17, utilisation in the cement sector witnessed a decline from 83%
in FY08 to 64% in FY17 mainly due to capacity addition (incremental supply
of 223 MT) outpacing demand (incremental demand of 105 MT). As a result,
industry capacity doubled from 198 MT in FY08 to 421 MT in FY17 vs.
demand, which increased from 164 MT in FY08 to 269 MT in FY17. However,
we expect demand-supply balance to improve in the next few years with
slower pace of capacity addition (~21 MT) and likely improvement in
demand (~47 MT) positively impacting utilisation levels. Cement sector
utilisation is expected to improve from 64% in FY17 to 72% in FY19E leading
to higher margins for cement players (driven by operating leverage benefits).
Ultratech a pan India player to be key beneficiary of infra push
The impact of liquidity crunch is slowly receding as witnessed in Q4FY17.
Further, a pick-up in housing on the back of healthy demand from first home
buyers, better monsoon and revival in rural economy will play a key role in
driving cement demand over the next few years. Apart from this, the
company will be a key beneficiary of improving cement demand on account
of higher budgetary allocation towards development of roads & highways
along with government’s focus on rural development & affordable housing.
We expect cement demand to reach 311 MT by FY19E (i.e. at 7.5% CAGR)
vs. (4.7% CAGR over last five years). In addition, we believe a stable pricing
scenario is expected to positively impact revenues and margins over the
next three years.
Consolidation of Jaypee - long term value accretive deal
The consolidation of 21.2 MT cement assets of Jaiprakash Associates
(Jaypee) will take the company’s total capacity to ~95 MT. This will enable
the company to further strengthen its leadership in India, going forward, with
a market share of over ~22% (post the deal) from 17.0% currently and
become the fourth largest player globally. The transaction is subject to
various regulatory approvals resulting in a gestation period of three to four
months. We are yet to incorporate Jaypee acquisitions into our financials.
Well placed to capture upcoming demand; maintain BUY!!!
We expect UltraTech (a pan-India player) to be a key beneficiary of increased
government spend, slowdown in capacity addition and consolidation in the
industry. Further, improving realisation and the company’s focus on cost
rationalisation is expected to aid margins. With industry-leading growth,
higher margins and a healthy balance sheet, we maintain our BUY rating
with a target price of | 4,750/share (i.e. at 19.5x FY19E EV/EBITDA).

Company Analysis
Improving industry dynamics indicate long term up cycle in cement
Over FY08-17, utilisation in the cement sector witnessed a decline from 83%
in FY08 to 64% in FY17 mainly due to capacity addition (incremental supply
of 223 MT) outpacing demand (incremental demand of 105 MT). As a result,
industry capacity doubled from 198 MT in FY08 to 421 MT in FY17 vs.
demand, which increased from 164 MT in FY08 to 269 MT in FY17. However,
we expect demand-supply balance to improve in the next few years with
slower pace of capacity addition (~21 MT) and likely improvement in
demand (~47 MT) positively impacting utilisation levels. Cement sector
utilisation is expected to improve from 64% in FY17 to 72% in FY19E leading
to higher margins for cement players (driven by operating leverage benefits).

Capacity Demand Utilisation (%)
Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com Research
Demand expected to register strong growth in FY17-19E
UltraTech derives majority of its revenue from northern, western India, at
29%, 31%, respectively. Other than this, 17% of revenue is from eastern
India where prices remain strong while 23% of its revenue comes from
southern India where prices are improving. On the whole, the sales mix
across India is well distributed, indicating lower volatility in blended
realisation, going forward. The company has indicated that demand will
improve in the south mainly led by an improvement in infrastructure,
irrigation especially in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Amaravati. Further,
the western region is expected to witness healthy growth led by a pick-up in
demand from Mumbai. However, demand in the north is expected to remain
subdued led by a slowdown in construction activities.
Key takeaways on demand in Q4FY17 from the conference call
South: The growth is driven by irrigation projects in AP and
Telangana. However, drought in Tamil Nadu will impact cement
demand
North: This region was impacted by a slowdown in the housing
segment and lower demand from UP & Punjab
West: Metro rail and affordable housing drove growth in Q4FY17
East: Cement demand in the region improved mainly due to
improvement in infra spending by the government
The company is witnessing some demand improvement in Tier-1
cities while Tier-2 cities are still lagging in terms of demand growth
Jaypee’s cement assets are operating at 42.0% utilisation. Post
acquisition Ultratech plans to ramp the utilisation to 60.0% in first
year and 75.0% in second year.

The trade: non trade mix was at 68:32
In terms of transport mix, 70.0% was through road while 26.0% was
through rail. Every 10 km reduction in lead distance leads to
| 25/tonne savings in cost
Average prices of petcoke for Q4FY17 were at US$87/tonne with the
current price according to the company at ~US$94
The company is planning to increased WHRMS capacity by 9 MW to
68 MW
Largest pan-India player in cement Industry
UltraTech Cement is the largest player in capacity terms (~70 MT) with a
market share of over ~17% in India. The acquisition of 21.2 MT cement
assets of Jaiprakash Associates (Jaypee) will enable the company to
maintain its leadership in India, going forward. This move will increase its
capacity by 30% to 91.1 MT, making it the largest cement player in the
domestic market (fourth largest player globally) with a market share of over
22%. With this deal, UltraTech will have a presence across regions (except
North East). Jaypee’s cement assets are spread across regions viz. 1) Central
region (11.4 MT), 2) North (4.8 MT) and 3) South (5 MT). The location of 11
plants of Jaypee complements the existing 40 of UltraTech. The acquisition
is expected to give Ultratech access to newer markets of Satna (11.4 MT)
and coastal Andhra Pradesh (5.0 MT). In addition, the expansion of 3.5 MT in
Dhar, Madhya Pradesh will further increase the company’s capacity to ~95.0
MT.
Operates at healthy EBITDA/tonne vis-à-vis industry
With lower lead distances due to a pan-India presence, captive power plants
and higher sales realisations due to a higher trade mix coupled with higher
white cement sales realisation, the company generates highest
EBITDA/tonne in the industry. It has also been able to reduce its power
consumption per tonne gradually through various initiatives to ~76/kwh.
Further, the company is taking various cost saving initiatives like increasing
WHRMS capacity (from 59 MW to 68 MW), increased usage of pet coke,
which will further help in lowering power cost. Apart from this, the company
has recently set up various grinding units, which will help reduce freight
cost. Further, higher utilisation of grinding unit will further aid margins.

Expect revenue CAGR of 12.0% in FY17-19E
Revenues have grown at a CAGR of 5.6% in FY12-17 mainly led by moderate
growth in volumes of 3.3% CAGR and realisation growth of 2.2% CAGR in
FY12-17. However, in FY17-19E, we expect volume CAGR of 9.1% in FY17-
19E mainly led by higher infra spend by the government. Further, we expect
realisation to increase at 2.7% CAGR in FY17-19E led by a pick-up in
demand. Consequently, revenues are expected to grow at 12.0% CAGR in
the next two years.

Margins to improve led by operating efficiency
Going forward, cost/tonne is expected to increase led by higher pet coke
prices (increased from US$42/t to US$94/t). However, with the pick-up in
demand we expect realisation to improve in coming quarters leading to an
improvement in margins.

Outlook and valuation
We believe the industry’s capacity utilisation bottomed at ~64% in FY17.
With the government taking measures to boost infrastructure development
through steps like long-term fund availability for major infra projects, higher
budgetary allocation towards public infrastructure development, we expect
robust cement demand growth in FY17-19E to reach 311 MT by FY19E (i.e.
at CAGR of 7.5%) vs. (CAGR of 4.7% over last five years). The company
expects government infra spends to gain momentum, especially on
construction of concrete roads and creation of new capital city of Amaravati
in Andhra Pradesh. UltraTech is well positioned to reap the benefit of a
recovery in demand and generate healthy free cash flows in future. We
assign premium valuations multiple to UltraTech vs. its peer companies due
to its ability to generate higher margins and healthy cash flows. Hence, we
continue to maintain our positive view on the stock with a BUY
recommendation and a target price of | 4,750 per share (i.e. at 19.5x FY19E
EV/EBITDA).
