According to an investor presentation, DLF's net debt stood at Rs 5,513 crore as on December
31, 2017, and this is primarily from development business of housing projects. The debt from
commercial real estate business has now been reflected in DLF Cyber City Developers Ltd
(DCCDL), the company's joint venture firm with Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC. he net
debt of DCCDL stood at Rs 16,074 crore at the end of third quarter of this fiscal. The JV holds the
bulk of rent-yielding commercial assets of DLF group. DLF's total debt stood at Rs 26,800 crore at
June-end this financial year.
The promoters had in August last year sold entire 40 per cent stake in DCCDL for Rs 11,900 crore.
This deal included sale of 33.34 per cent stake in DCCDL to GIC for Rs 8,900 crore and buy-back
of remaining shares worth Rs 3,000 crore by DCCDL.This deal got concluded in late December. As
a result, DLF's stake in DDCDL increased to 66.66 per cent stake from 60 per cent, while GIC has
the balance 33.34 per cent stake in the joint venture firm Total income, however, fell to Rs
1,855.21 crore in the third quarter of 2017-18 fiscal from Rs 2,177.90 crore in the corresponding
period of the previous year.
DLF explained in a statement that its profit has gone up due to one-time exceptional gain on
account of restatement of its investment in DCCDL at fair market value based on Indian
accounting standards (IndAS 110), as DCCDL is now being accounted as a joint venture instead of
a subsidiary.
Revenue from operations may grow 11 percent to Rs 7,445 crore compared to Rs 6,684 crore in
same quarter last fiscal, according to average of estimates of analysts ..
Operating profit is likely to increase 15 percent year-on-year to Rs 1,611 crore and margin may
expand 70 basis points to 21.6 percent in Q3.
Year-on-year profit comparison may not be valid due to (1) higher interest cost in Q3FY18 to
fund renewable asset acquisition and (2) tax reversal in Q3FY17, despite stable operations in the
core distribution business.
Analysts expect generation volumes to remain sluggish and realisations to remain flattish. They
further expect coal business and renewable business to maintain strong momentum.
More than numbers, the Street will watch out for restructuring news. Tata Power had guided for
simplification of group structure in FY18 at the beginning of the year.
