Margin expansion driven by operational parameters: CGL surprised the markets 52 Week High / Low 428/100
positively with regards to margin expansion in its 2QFY2010 results, as against Avg Daily Volume 279,285
the margin compression witnessed by its peers. The management attributed this Face Value (Rs) 2
margin expansion to value engineering / better product designing, leading to BSE Sensex 17,465
lower material consumption, coupled with the advantages of global sourcing of
Nifty 5,201
materials. Hence, we expect the margin expansion to be sustainable, rather than

being one-off in nature.

Higher local manufacturing content; A boon for CGL CGL:: CGL, with a minimum
18-month lead in domestic manufacturing, has a clear competitive advantage Shareholding Pattern (%)
over its peers in the 765kV transformers space. With the PGCIL (Power Grid
Promoters 40.9
Corporation of India) increasing the proportion of domestic manufacturing to
MF / Banks / Indian Fis 33.3
50% from 33%, it augurs well for the company, as it would be able to command
better margins, on account of lower domestic manufacturing costs (as against FII / NRIs / OCBs 16.8
higher costs incurred by its competitors at their overseas facilities). Indian Public / Others 9.0

Management guidance: The management expects FY2010E revenue growth to

Acquisitions bridge technology gaps: Over the past few years, the company has
made several strategic overseas acquisitions, which, besides plugging in the technology
gaps, have strengthened its product portfolio and provided the company with access
to the key European and American markets. Notably, the existing gap remains in the
area of MV switch gears, the HVDC segment, industrial drives and automation;
however, the company is actively scouting for acquisitions to bridge this gap as well.

Exhibit 2: Acquisitions bridge technology gaps & provide access to global markets
Acquisition Country Details
Pauwels Belgium Three-phase distribution and power transformers,
production and retrofitting of sub-stations
Ganz Hungary High voltage transformers, gas insulated switchgear,
rotating machines, contracting service
Microsol Ireland Sub-station automation in HV/MV segments
Sonomatra France Services segment of the T&D business

Outlook & Valuation:

During FY2009-12E, we expect the company to register a Top-line and Bottom-line

CAGR of 12.1% and 19.8%, respectively. At the CMP of Rs426, the stock is quoting at
18.8x and 16.2x FY2011E and FY2012E EPS, respectively, which we believe is attractive
compared to its peers ABB and Areva T&D (which are quoting at 24.9x and 21.5x
CY2011E EPS, respectively). We believe that such a high valuation gap is unwarranted
and going ahead it would narrow down as CGL has been bridging the technological
gaps through various acquisitions. The gap would also narrow down on the back of
superior earnings growth and higher average RoEs for CGL as against its peers. We
assign CGL a Target P/E multiple of 20x and upgrade the stock from Accumulate to
Buy
