New Year, New Cards


Earnings growth returns, but quality of growth weak

Earnings growth optically high; driven by low base of Cyclicals


 The earnings performance for 3QFY17 would be significantly impacted by
demonetization. Given the unprecedented nature of the event, prediction of
earnings for 3QFY17 is challenging. That said, we expect 3QFY17 earnings
performance to benefit from the low base of several cyclical sectors like PSU
Banks and Metals. MOSL Universe PAT is likely to grow 30% YoY, the highest
since 1QFY15; also, 3QFY17 would be the second consecutive quarter of double-
digit PAT growth. Excluding PSU Banks and Metals, MOSL Universe PAT growth
is estimated at 8.1%. The entire YoY earnings growth of INR240b for MOSL
Universe in 3QFY17 would be led by PSU Banks, Metals and Oil & Gas.
 We expect the contribution of Cyclicals to increase further. Cyclicals would
account for the entire growth in 2HFY17 MOSL Universe earnings; Defensives
would post a 4% YoY decline.
 We have cut our Sensex EPS estimates by 1% to INR1,360 for FY17 and by 2% to
INR1,668 for FY18. We now expect 3% EPS growth for Sensex in FY17, followed
by 23% growth in FY18 on a low base of 2HFY17, particularly in demonetization-
hit sectors like Consumer, Autos, Cement and Private Banks.

Key sectoral trends/highlights


 Oil & Gas would report another strong quarter, led by OMCs. This quarter, it
accounts for ~27% of MOSL Universe earnings (v/s ~24% in 3QFY16).
 Metals and PSU Banks would benefit from favorable base; both sectors reported
losses in 3QFY16. PSU Banks profits are over 40% below their peak profits.
 Technology is expected to report another quarter of muted performance, with
0.3% YoY PAT growth. This sector continues to see weaker PAT growth.
 3QFY17 would be the first ever quarter of PAT decline for our Consumer
universe. Demonetization-led revenue moderation and consequent operating
deleverage is likely to impact earnings.
 Telecom, Media, Retail and Utilities would have a lackluster quarter, with YoY
earnings decline.
 In BFSI, Private Banks are expected to post 12% YoY PAT decline, led by Axis
Bank and ICICI Bank. NBFCs are likely to have a healthy quarter, with 16%
earnings growth despite demonetization (RBI dispensation should prevent any
disproportionate impact on P&L).

Three key trends to watch out for


1. Demonetization impacting revenues for key B2C sectors like Autos (-1.6% YoY),
Consumer (flat), NBFCs, and Cement (-1%).
2. Global commodity prices recovering, in turn driving recovery for Cyclicals like Oil
& Gas ex OMCs (revenue growth of 15.3% YoY; one of the highest in five years)
and Metals (+22.3% YoY; highest in four years).

Sources of exhibits in this report include RBI, CMIE, Bloomberg, IMF, Industry, Companies, and MOSL database

3. No respite for Healthcare (11.7% YoY revenue growth in 3QFY17 v/s 18.4%
CAGR in 10 years) and Technology (8.6% YoY revenue growth in 3QFY17; one of
the weakest in 10 years).

Model portfolio changes


The 2 important events that are driving changes in our Model portfolio are Impact of
Demonetisation (both on earnings and valuations) and recovery in global cyclicals.
Our stance reflects our belief that earnings growth for Defensives will decelerate in
2HFY17. We have reduced our weights for Autos, Consumer, Technology and NBFCs.
We partake in the anticipated cyclical earnings recovery by upgrading our stance on
Private Banks, Capital Goods and Metals. Summary of the changes in our model
portfolio:
 We have increased weightage in Private Banks and added Axis Bank to the
model portfolio. Valuations for Axis at P/B of 1.7x FY18 does factor the near
term asset quality concerns; our earnings growth estimate for FY18 is fairly
strong at 78%. Ratnakar Bank is a new addition; we initiated coverage recently
with a Buy. In PSU Banks, we replace Union Bank with PNB as the subsidiary
valuations and CASA growth makes PNB very attractive. We are further
magnifying our Underweight stance on NBFC. In Housing finance, we replace LIC
Housing with Repco as the latter has seen significant correction in valuations
with a strong positioning to benefit from affordable housing boom.
 We have reduced our Overweight in Autos, and removed TVS from the model
portfolio. We have increased weightage in Tata Motors and also added Bharat
Forge in the model portfolio.
 Consumer will continue to see challenges on volumes and margins, and hence
sees a lower weight. Britannia and Jubilant are the two stocks, where valuations
have become reasonable now.
 Within Energy, we remain positive on OMCs. However, we replace HPCL with
IOC, as the former has an aggressive capex plans, which will lead to higher debt
to equity ratio. IOC is exiting its capex plans, which will driver higher cash flows
and can lead to strong dividend payouts.
 In Capital Goods, we have increased weights in L&T.
 We have also upgraded our stance on Metals from Underweight to Neutral, and
further magnified our Overweight position on Hindalco. We have also
introduced NMDC in our model portfolio.
 We continue with our Underweight stance on Technology and replace HCL Tech
with Tech Mahindra.
 In midcaps, we have introduced SH Kelkar, Endurance, Alkem Labs, Dewan
Housing, Dish TV and Muthoot Finance in our model portfolio.

3QFY17 PREVIEW Earnings growth returns, but quality of growth weak


Cyclicals drive growth; demonetization, cost inflation hurt Defensives
3QFY17 earnings growth to be led by low base of Cyclicals
3QFY17 earnings performance would be supported by the low base of cyclical
sectors like PSU Banks and Metals. We expect MOSL Universe revenue to grow 7.2%
YoY – a 10-quarter high (revenue had declined 7% YoY in the base quarter). EBITDA
growth would be 19.7% YoY, the highest in 10 quarters. PAT is likely to grow 30.2%
YoY, the highest since 1QFY15; also, 3QFY17 would be the second consecutive
quarter of double-digit PAT growth. However, excluding PSU Banks and Metals, we
estimate 5.4% YoY sales growth, 10.8% YoY EBITDA growth, and 8.1% YoY PAT
growth for MOSL Universe. While EBITDA margin is likely to expand 240bp YoY to
22.7%, PAT margin would expand 200bp YoY to 10.9%. This would be driven by
400bp expansion in EBITDA margin and 250bp expansion in PAT margin of Global
Cyclicals. Defensives would report the first margin decline in seven quarters, a
reflection of demonetization and rising commodity costs in Consumer and Autos.

Three key trends coming to the fore


 Demonetization impacting revenues of key sectors like Autos (-1.6% YoY),
Consumer (flat), NBFCs, and Cement (-1%)
 Global commodity price recovery driving recovery for Cyclicals like Oil & Gas ex
OMCs (revenue growth of 15.3% YoY, one of the highest in five years) and
Metals (+22.3% YoY; highest in four years)
 No respite for Healthcare (11.7% YoY revenue growth in 3QFY17 v/s 10-year
CAGR of 18.4%) and Technology (8.6% YoY revenue growth in 3QFY17, one of
the weakest in 10 years)

Earnings growth momentum back, but quality of growth weak


3QFY17 earnings growth would be driven by Cyclicals – Cement, Capital Goods and
Oil & Gas are expected to post 24%, 59% and 42% growth, respectively. PSU Banks
and Metals, which reported losses of INR39b and INR10b in the base quarter, are
expected to post a PAT of INR52b and INR73b, respectively. PAT growth would be
50% YoY (-24% YoY in 3QFY16) for Domestic Cyclicals and 59% YoY (13% YoY in
3QFY16) for Global Cyclicals – multi-quarter high for both. However, Defensives
would report 3% YoY decline in PAT to the lowest in 20 quarters. MOSL Universe (ex
Metals, Oil and PSBs) PAT is likely to decline 1.4% YoY in 3QFY17, the first decline in
eight years.

Expect earnings to decline for consumer-facing sectors


 Demonetization would impact the Auto and Consumer sectors, which are likely
to witness sharp moderation in PAT growth. We expect Consumer sector PAT to
decline 1% YoY, the first decline in 11 years. For Autos, we expect just 3% YoY
earnings growth.
 PAT growth for the Technology sector would continue to moderate. We expect
YoY flat PAT – no growth for the first time in last 12 years.
 Private Banks (-12%), Media (-5%), Retail (-10%) and Utilities (-6%) are the other
sectors that would report YoY PAT decline.

January 2017 5
India Strategy | New Year, New Cards

 NBFCs should post a healthy 16% YoY PAT growth – the impact of
demonetization on asset quality could come with a quarter’s lag.
 Defensives’ share in MOSL earnings would continue to decline to 35% (recent
high was 47% in 4QFY16); the share of Global Cyclicals would be 31% in 3QFY17,
up from 26% in 3QFY16 and 24% in 2QFY17.
 Nifty sales would grow 4% YoY, the highest in nine quarters. PAT is likely to grow
13% YoY, the highest in 10 quarters. EBITDA is likely to post robust 10% YoY
growth. Nifty aggregates would be influenced by Cyclicals – excluding PSU Banks
and Metals, Nifty sales would grow 4% YoY, EBITDA would grow 5% YoY, and
PAT would grow 1% YoY.
 Post demonetization, we have cut our 2HFY17E earnings for MOSL Universe by
3%, driven by cuts in Cement (22.5%), Autos (12%), Consumer (11%), NBFCs (6%)
and Capital Goods (~8%). Also, Telecom sectors’ 2HFY17E PAT has seen sharp
cut of ~75%, reflecting tectonic shift in competitive intensity.

Interesting sectoral trends


Key PAT growth sectors
 At 2.6% YoY, 3QFY17 PAT growth for Autos would be one of the weakest in
recent quarters.
 Eicher, Maruti and Ashok Leyland stand out with 56%, 39% and 38% growth,
respectively.
 Excluding Tata Motors (which is expected to post 16% YoY PAT decline), Autos
should post 15% YoY growth.
 Capital Goods sector is expected to post 20-quarter high PAT growth of 59%
YoY, driven by favorable base. BHEL posted a loss in the base quarter; excluding
BHEL, growth would be 7% YoY.
 PSU Banks would report a PAT of INR52b v/s a loss of INR39b in the base
quarter. SBIN (up 2.4x), PNB (up 8.7x) and UBI (up 2.9x) are expected to post
strong performance.
 NBFCs are likely to post another quarter of healthy performance, with 16% YoY
PAT growth. MMFS (125%), LIC Housing Finance (27%), Muthoot Finance (40%),
Bharat Financial (31%) and Gruh Finance (19%) are expected to deliver strong
performance.
 Metals would also have a strong quarter and report a PAT of INR73b v/s a loss
of INR10b in the base quarter. Hindalco (up 2.3x), Vedanta (loss to profit) and
Tata Steel (loss to profit) are expected to post strong results.
 Cement is expected to continue its strong momentum, led by Shree Cement.
Key PAT de-growth sectors
 Consumer companies would report the first YoY PAT decline in 11 years.
 Asian Paints would post 4% YoY PAT decline.
 Britannia would see ~20% YoY decline in PAT.

January 2017 9
India Strategy | New Year, New Cards

 HUVR and ITC are likely to report flattish YoY PAT performance.
 For Private Banks, aggregate PAT is likely to decline 12% YoY, driven by Axis
Bank (-69%) and ICICI Bank (-26%). Yes Bank (+25%), Kotak Mahindra Bank
(27%), and IndusInd Bank (+23%) would report strong growth.
 Utilities would post 6% YoY PAT decline, largely led by Coal India (-22%).
 Telecom would report PAT decline (-67% YoY), despite the low base (PAT was
down 7% in 3QFY16).

PAT Growth Ex RMs (%)


40% of the companies would grow at >15% YoY, and almost 30% of the Universe would report >30% PAT growth. More than 1/3rd of the
Universe would report PAT de-growth.

Three key trends for 3QFY17

1] Demonetization impacting revenues for key sectors like Autos,


Consumer, and Cement
 We expect Autos (ex JLR) to report flat revenue YoY, impacted by sharp
moderation in volumes across segments, especially 2Ws and PVs. Higher
discounts and negative operating leverage would lead to sharp moderation in
PAT growth for Autos (ex JLR).
 Cement revenue is likely to decline ~1% YoY, reflecting ~1% YoY volume decline.
With cost inflation offsetting higher realization, EBITDA growth would be
restricted to ~3% YoY. PAT growth would moderate considerably to ~24% YoY
(v/s ~58% YoY in 1HFY17).
 For our Consumer universe, we expect revenue to be flat YoY, translating into a
PAT decline for the first time in 12 years.

2] Global commodity price recovery driving recovery for Global Cyclicals


 Recovery in base commodity prices has led to sharp recovery in revenues and
PAT for Global Cyclicals like Oil and Metals.
 We estimate revenue growth for Oil & Gas at 8% YoY, one of the highest in five
years, influenced by ~14% YoY increase in crude oil prices. This would reflect in
PAT growth of ~42% YoY (~25% QoQ).
 For Metals, we expect 22.3% YoY revenue growth, the highest in four years,
driven by recovery in prices – Steel (up 70% from recent lows), Copper (up 35%),

January 2017 11
India Strategy | New Year, New Cards

and Aluminum (up 15%). More importantly, PAT is likely to grow ~72% QoQ
(from loss to profit on YoY basis).

3] No respite for Healthcare (expect 11.7% YoY revenue growth in 3QFY17
v/s 18.4% CAGR in 10 years) and Technology (expect 8.6% YoY revenue
growth in 3QFY17, one of the weakest in 10 years)
 We estimate revenue growth for our Technology universe at 8.6% YoY, one of
the lowest in 10 years. For the first time in 12 years, PAT would remain flat YoY.
 For our Healthcare universe, we expect moderation in revenue growth (11.7%
YoY in 3QFY17 v/s 10-year CAGR of 18.4%), reflecting in 8.4% YoY PAT growth.

Cyclicals to drive entire 2HFY17 earnings growth


 After witnessing severe stress in 1HFY17, Cyclicals like PSU Banks and Metals are
making strong recovery, driven by favorable base, interest rate moderation,
recovery in commodity prices, etc. PAT for Cyclicals is likely to grow 54% YoY in
3QFY17 (v/s just 5% growth in 1HFY17).
 While we estimate MOSL Universe PAT growth at 33% YoY for 2HFY17 (v/s 6%
YoY in 1HFY17), 95% of this growth would be driven by Cyclicals. Defensives
would drag overall performance.
 For Domestic Cyclicals, PAT is likely to grow 101% YoY in 2HFY17 (v/s 6% YoY in
1HFY17), driven by PSU Banks, Cement and Capital Goods. For Global Cyclicals,
we expect PAT to grow 34% YoY in 2HFY17 (v/s 4% YoY in 1HFY17), driven by

Defensives to drag 2HFY17 earnings


 Defensives solely drove MOSL Universe PAT growth over FY14-16; Cyclicals
(both domestic and global) were under pressure, resulting in the share of
Defensives in aggregate PAT rising to 36%.
 However, we expect Cyclicals to be the key driver of PAT growth over FY17-18,
with over 78% of the increase in MOSL Universe PAT being driven by Cyclicals.
 As a result, we expect the share of Cyclicals to increase to 70% by FY18 from
63% in FY16. Key drivers of growth within Cyclicals would be PSU Banks, Autos,
Metals, and Cement.
 For 3QFY17, Defensives would report a 2.7% YoY decline in PAT to the lowest in
20 quarters. This is expected to continue even in 4QFY17, with a decline of 5%
YoY. Large part of the 2HFY17 weakness would be due to demonetization-led
growth moderation in the Consumer sector.

Nifty sales and PAT growth to be 4% and 13%, respectively


 Nifty PAT is likely to grow 13% YoY in 3QFY17, the highest in 10 quarters. Sales
are expected to grow 4% YoY.
 Performance of Nifty would be driven by Cyclicals like PSU Banks and Metals
that are benefiting from the depressed base of 2HFY16. Excluding PSU Banks
and Metals, Nifty PAT would be flat YoY.
 17 Nifty companies are expected to post YoY PAT decline – two each from
Consumer, Cement, Telecom and Technology, and three from Autos.
 Another notable feature of 3QFY17, as discussed in earlier sections, would be
the YoY PAT decline for large-cap Consumer companies (ITC, Asian Paints), an
impact of demonetization.

Key trends to watch out for in 4QFY17 and thereafter
Trend # 1: Re-monetization
 Re-monetization has been faster than expected. Value-wise, almost 50% of the
withdrawn currency has been replaced as at the end of December 2016.
 We expect it to pick up pace over the next quarter. Overall, by the end of March
2017, we expect things to normalize in the economy.
 The government’s digitization push coupled with lazy money coming back into
the banking system should lead to currency in circulation being less than earlier.
 With the banking system flushed with funds and lower inflation, we expect
lower interest rates than in the pre-demonetization era.
 We expect a shift from unorganized credit sources to organized credit. Banks
with strong liability franchise are likely to be key beneficiaries of this shift. Even
mid-size private sector banks with strong management and under-utilized
capacity are likely to benefit.
 Apart from banks, other financial intermediaries like insurance and asset
management companies also stand to benefit.
 Normalization of liquidity by March 2017 would also help in restoring normalcy
for consumer-focused businesses, especially in rural markets.
Trend # 2: Government actions to improve economic activity
Exhibit 26: While some measures have been announced post demonetization, we expect more relief measures over next few
months
Measures announced New measures expected
1. 4% subsidy in interest rate for housing loan upto INR0.9m, and 1. A 1-2pp cut in corporate tax rate, providing a relief of INR 150-300b
3% subsidy for housing loan upto ~INR1.2m. to corporates.
2. Loan @3% on housing in rural area for construction/renovation of 2. Increasing income tax slab and 80C exemptions by INR50k each.
home. This will cost government ~INR300b.
3. Small traders credit guarantee to increase from loan of INR10m 3. Some compensation to states could help fasten GST passage. It
to INR20m. could cost ~INR100-200b.
4. 60 days interest on agriculture loan from cooperative bank will be 4. Since states would be restricted in terms of their ability to invest,

6. Senior citizen to get 8% interest on 10 years fixed deposit of upto
~INR0.75m.
7. 30m Kisan Credit Cards holders to be given RuPay Debit Cards.

Trend # 3: Cost pressures from commodity inflation


 After bottoming out in the last 2-3 quarters, global commodities have witnessed
sharp recovery – Crude (up over 90% from the bottom), Steel (up over 70%),
Aluminum (up over 15%), Copper (up over 35%), Lead (up over 55%), Rubber (up
over 100%), etc.
 MOSL Universe (ex Metals and OMCs) EBITDA margin has expanded ~310bp
over the last two years, partly driven by favorable commodity prices and
operating leverage.
 With commodity prices recovering from recent lows and impact of
demonetization on demand, Corporate India would have to focus on cost
management.

Cutting 2HFY17E PAT for consumer-focused businesses following


demonetization
 Post demonetization, we have cut our 2HFY17E earnings for MOSL Universe by
3%, driven by cuts in Cement (~22.5%), Autos (12%), Consumer (11%), NBFCs
(~6%) and Capital Goods (~8%).
 2HFY17E PAT for Telecom has seen sharp cut of ~75%, reflecting tectonic shift in
competitive intensity.
 However, the impact of cuts in above sectors has been offset by upgrades in
Metals (+8%) and Oil & Gas (+11%).

EARNINGS FY17-FY19
Demonetization mars 2HFY17, Sensex EPS to grow ~3%
Low base drive growth expectations for FY18, risk to growth from unknowns
 FY17 to be third consecutive year of muted Sensex EPS growth: After YoY flat Sensex
EPS in 1HFY17, there were expectations of a recovery from 2HFY17, driven by normal
monsoon, the 7th Pay Commission, and bottoming out of Global Cyclicals among others.
However, demonetization is likely to defer the recovery by at least six months. We
expect muted EPS growth (~3% to ~INR1,360) in FY17 – the third consecutive year of no
growth. However, the broader MOSL Universe is likely to witness ~20% earnings growth
in FY17, driven by sharp recovery in Cyclicals on low base of 2HFY16.
 FY18 to see smart recovery, albeit on low base (4% CAGR over FY12-17E): We expect
Sensex EPS to grow 22.6% to INR1,668 in FY18 and at a CAGR of ~21% over FY17-19.
These growth estimates come on a low base of the last five years, when EPS grew at just
4% CAGR (FY12-17E). Cyclicals are likely to outperform the Defensives over FY17-19,
with Financials, Cement, Metals, Capital Goods and Autos delivering 35%, 29%, 31%,
24% and 31% FY17-19E PAT CAGR, respectively. Cyclicals would contribute 2/3rd of
Sensex EPS growth and ~73% of MOSL Universe EPS growth in FY18.
 Risk to earnings – fear the unknown: Given the unprecedented nature of
demonetization and multiple moving parts, the exercise has been rendered a little more
challenging than usual. Normalization in sectors impacted by demonetization
(contributing ~45% of MOSL Universe earnings) would depend on the pace of re-
monetization. However, there are several unknowns that could materially influence
earnings in FY18/19 – GST (timing and magnitude of change), commodity prices
(runaway inflation in base commodity prices), further government measures (on direct
tax, black money, investments, etc), global factors (Trumponomics, fed rate, etc).

Demonetization overshadows other positives: FY17 to be another year of flat Sensex EPS; several sectors
to report multi-year low earnings growth
 The narrative for FY17 was shaping up well (normal monsoon, 7th Pay Commission awards, softening interest
rates) till 2QFY17, and confidence of double-digit Sensex earnings growth was building up.
 However, this was pre-demonetization. The aforementioned positive narrative has since been overshadowed by
demonetization and its consequences for the economy as well as various sectors.
 This is reflected in our earnings estimates for FY17. Post demonetization, we now expect another flat year of
Sensex EPS - just 2% YoY growth v/s the 14% YoY growth prediction we began with.
 Several sectors would report multi-year low earnings growth in FY17 - Autos, Consumer, Private Banks, NBFCs,
Telecom, Technology, and Utilities. Technology, Utilities and Telecom are impacted by sector-specific issues
while deceleration in earnings growth for Autos, Consumer, Private Banks and NBFCs can be largely attributed to
demonetization.
FY17-19E estimates: Sensex EPS CAGR at 21%
 We expect Sensex EPS CAGR of 21% over FY17-19, significantly higher than the
4% CAGR over FY12-17. Cyclicals would contribute 2/3rd of FY18E Sensex EPS
growth and ~73% of MOSL Universe EPS growth.
 We estimate Sensex EPS at INR1,360 (3% growth) for FY17, INR1,668 for FY18
(23% growth), and ~INR2,005 for FY19 (20% growth).

FY17/18E Sensex EPS cut 1%/2%; FY18 estimate builds in sharp recovery
 We have cut our FY17 and FY18 Sensex EPS estimates by 1% and 2%,
respectively. This follows our 2% cut in Sensex EPS estimates in December 2016,
post demonetization. Essentially, our Sensex EPS growth for FY17 now stands
revised downwards to 3%.
 However, the lower base of FY17 (especially in 2HFY17 due to demonetization)
should aid sharp rebound in FY18. In FY18, we build 23% Sensex EPS growth.
 However, we note that visibility of FY18 growth is hazy, given the multiple
moving parts around [1] GST implementation, and [2] pace of re-monetization
and consequent restoration of normalcy in trade.

Disappointing finish to an otherwise strong 2016!


MARKETS & FLOWS
Flat returns in a year marked by major disruptive events

 The Nifty ended just 3% higher (in INR terms; flat in USD terms) in a year which until
November looked set for an encouraging finish. Key events like Brexit, US elections,
India’s demonetization, US Fed hike and geopolitical tensions with Pakistan took the
center stage in the second half of CY16, fueling significant volatility in the markets.
However, the Indian government’s decision to demonetize high-value currency notes
triumphed over other narratives, wiping out bulk of the CY16 gains (Nifty was up 8.5%
until 8-November).
 In CY16, Brazil (+39%), Russia (+24%) and the UK (+14%) were the best performers
among the key global markets. Over the last 12 months, MSCI EM delivered 9% return,
as against MSCI India’s flat return. Over the last ten years, MSCI India outperformed
MSCI EM by 81%.
 In the sectoral space, Metals (+37%) and Oil (+27%) – the underperformers of CY15 –
were the top performers in CY16, led by the bottoming out of commodity prices and
inexpensive valuations. Cement (+17%), Auto (+9%), PSU Banks (+9%), Media (+6%),
Private Banks (+5%), NBFC (+4%), Consumer (+3%) and Utilities (+2%) too ended the
year on a positive note. On the other hand, Telecom (-25%), Healthcare (-13%),
Technology (-8%), Real Estate (-6%) and Capital Goods (-3%) were the losers for CY16.
Midcaps outperformed large caps, delivering +7% returns.
 Market breadth was positive in CY16, with 30 of the Nifty-50 stocks ending higher.
Notably, all Technology, Healthcare and Telecom stocks on the Nifty delivered
negative returns.
 Among the Nifty components, Hindalco (+83%), Yes Bank (+59%), Tata Steel (+51%),
BPCL (+42%) and Power Grid (+30%) were the top performers of CY16. Idea (-49%),
BHEL (-28%), Aurobindo (-24%), Sun Pharma (-23%) and Bharti Infratel (-20%) were the
worst performers.
 India witnessed FII equity inflows of USD2.9b in CY16 (USD6.8b until 8-November),
while DII equity inflows stood at USD5.3b. Domestic MFs recorded inflows of USD7.1b,
while DIIs (ex-MFs) saw outflows of USD1.9b in CY16.
 FII debt outflows were more pronounced at USD6.5b in CY16 (USD5.9b post 8-
November). Despite these outflows, the INR remained relatively stable with just 2.5%
annual depreciation.
 Correction in 4QCY16 has brought valuations marginally below the 10-year averages.
Nifty trades at a P/E of 16.6x, near its long-period average of 16.7x.
 Mid-cap outperformance continued in CY16, delivering return of +7% v/s +3% by Nifty.
However, valuation premium of mid-caps over large-caps has come off to just 1%.

Exhibit 44: After delivering negative return of 4% in CY15, Nifty staged a comeback to end 3% higher in CY16

Sector valuations: Earnings growth remains elusive; expect 2HFY17 earnings
growth to remain subdued
 Technology sector trades at a P/E of 15x (8% discount to historical average).
Stocks have been holding on to current levels, despite seasonal weakness in
3QFY17. The support comes from the sector being shielded from
demonetization, INR depreciation post US elections, and expectations of a
better FY18. The sector was the top performer for December (+3.3%), but
delivered 8% negative return in CY16.
 Oil & Gas trades at a P/B of 1.4x (12% discount to historical average) and a P/E
of 10.5x (10% discount). Oil prices rose ~10% in Nov-Dec’16 due to production
cuts agreed upon by OPEC and non-OPEC. OMCs (HPCL, BPCL and IOCL)
debunked the threat of regulation by increasing retail prices again in mid-
December 2016.
 PSU Banks trade at a 32% discount to historical average P/B. The sector was
second worst performer for December (-6% MoM) after six months of
continuous outperformance. Impact of demonetization is expected to hurt loan
growth and NIM. Overall, we expect stress addition in FY17 to be lower than in
FY16. Sustained traction in large corporate deleveraging and a reduction in net
slippages are the key catalysts for a re-rating.

Automobiles
Company name
Demonetization derails 3QFY17 auto volumes
2Ws/3Ws/CVs likely to see a decline; PVs relatively well placed
Amara Raja Batteries
 We expect the automobile industry’s performance in 3QFY17 to be subdued due to
Ashok Leyland the impact of demonetization. We believe 2Ws and 3Ws are likely to be worst hit as
Bajaj Auto the cash component in transactions in this space is relatively high compared to other
segments like PVs and CVs. We estimate 2W and 3W volumes to decline 4% and 20%
Bharat Forge YoY, respectively. Volumes in PVs are expected to grow by 5% YoY, while those in CVs
BOSCH should decline 4% YoY.
 EBITDA margin for our auto OEM (ex-JLR) coverage universe is likely to remain
Eicher Motors constant YoY (-140bp QoQ) at 13%. The 2W pack along with MSIL and ALL are
Escorts
expected to see a QoQ margin decline.
 We lower our FY18E EPS for TTMT (-17%), HMCL (-8%), BJAUT (-5%), BOS (-6%), but
Exide Industries increase for BHFC (+6.5%).
Hero MotoCorp
 Our top picks are MSIL and TTMT among large caps, and AL and Amara Raja among
midcaps.
Mahindra & Mahindra
2W/CV volumes to decline, PVs relatively well placed
Maruti Suzuki 2W sales are expected to decline 4% YoY in 3QFY17, which is relatively steep
Tata Motors compared to other segments, as the cash component in 2W transactions is relatively
high due to lower ticket size of vehicles and higher exposure to rural areas. Besides,
TVS Motor Company
currency-related issues are likely to pull down 2W exports. Growth in passenger car
volumes is expected to moderate to be flat YoY, while UV volumes are expected to
increase robustly by 16% driven by new launches. PVs were less impacted, primarily
due to waiting periods in many models of OEMs and lower cash component. CV
volumes are expected to decline 4% YoY in 3QFY17, with volumes declining by 9% in
LCVs offset by 4% growth in MHCV volumes. Many fleet operators have postponed
their purchases due to the cash crunch post demonetization.
EBITDA margin to contract as negative operating leverage kicks in
EBITDA margin for our auto OEM (ex-JLR) universe is likely to contract 140bp QoQ
(stable YoY), given pressure from negative operating leverage due to lower volumes.
Among 2Ws, we expect margin contraction in BJAUT (-170bp YoY), HMCL (-100bp),
TTMT S/A (-240bp), and expansion in M&M (+100bp) and EIM (+290bp).

Demonetization impact likely to moderate


While November and especially December saw a decline in volumes on account of
demonetization, the situation on the ground has started showing some signs of
recovery. Retail sales volumes have started to gradually pick up, albeit are still below
normal levels.
Valuation and view
We lower our FY18E EPS for TTMT (-17%), HMCL (-8%), BJAUT (-5%), BOS (-6%), but
increase for BHFC (+6.5%). In our view, demand and competition would be the key
determinants of stock performance. Our top picks are MSIL, TTMT among large
caps, and AL and Amara Raja among midcaps.

Demonetization to extend near-term pain
Company name
Impending structural reforms to rekindle investment cycle
ABB
Domestic investment cycle: Demonetization impacts capex cyle
Bharat Electronics temporarily; exports hamstrung by weak global demand
BHEL The recent demonetization has temporarily impacted capex activity. CMIE data
Crompton Greaves
indicates that the new investment proposals by India Inc reduced to INR1.3t for the
December quarter as compared to an average of INR2.4t per quarter in the
Crompton Greaves Consumer
preceding nine quarters. The near-term outlook remains cautious, with
Cummins India demonetization impacting fresh investments and challenges such as restrained
GE T&D capex activity by private players. However, policy initiatives and efforts are
underway for (i) expediting government approvals, and (ii) establishing monetary
Havells India
conditions conducive to industrial revival in the medium term.
Larsen & Toubro
 We believe investment revival would be triggered by: (i) sustained recovery in
Siemens
consumption demand, and thus, capacity utilization, and (ii) investment push by
Thermax the public sector, leading to a virtuous cycle of cash flow generation.
Voltas Simultaneously, sustained progress in reviving stalled projects is imperative for
attracting new investments and providing much-needed stimulus to aggregate
demand.
 By initiating GST, labor and energy sector reforms, the government has partly
addressed concerns about the pace and extent of reforms. Successful
implementation of substantive reforms is essential for structured investment
growth.
 Indian machinery exports have decelerated due to factors such as weak global
demand, geopolitical concerns and sharp currency volatility across several
markets. Also, falling crude prices had an adverse impact on global trade, and
thus, investment demand. Project awards in the Middle East have been
muted—in fact, revenue estimates for global industrial players suggest that
sluggishness has continued for around nine quarters.

Equipment manufacturers key beneficiaries of ‘ Make in India’ initiative


‘ Make in India’ is the central government’s initiative to improve the manufacturing
sector’s contribution through import substitution and increased exports. The intent
is to ensure that customers in the public and private sectors increasingly procure
equipment manufactured locally. Power Grid has mandated T&D players to
manufacture certain components in India for orders tendered out in key high-end
technology products such as SVC/STATCOM, GIS, 765K V transformers and reactors,
HTLS conductors, OPGW and HVDC.

In our opinion, successful implementation of this initiative should benefit capital


goods players. Increased imports over past 5-6 years, particularly from China/South
K orea, have been a critical area of concern across several product segments, even
where domestic manufacturing capabilities and competitiveness exist. K ey
beneficiaries include BHEL/Siemens (railways, solar cells, power T&D, defense, etc),
L&T/BEL (defense), ABB/Alstom/CRG/Siemens (power T&D, etc) and TMX (industrial
products/power BTG).

Ordering activity supported by finalization of base orders; slight pick-up in


domestic tendering activity
 Overall ordering activity has been impacted by delay in finalization of large
orders (> INR15b) and restrained capex activity by the private sector.
 Local ordering activity has seen some improvement, led by finalization of base
orders. After remaining subdued for most of 2015, tendering has seen some
improvement since January 2016, mainly supported by central government
activity. Sector-wise, roads, railways, power T&D and defense registered strong
tendering activity (fiscal allocations for roads/railways have been increased).
 Overseas project awards, particularly in the Middle East, have started to see
some signs of revival since 4QFY16, despite a sharp decline in crude oil prices.
Aggregate project awards in the region improved 40% YoY to USD140b (12-
month moving average).
 We believe that growth in large orders is imperative to further boost ordering
activity.

Ambuja Cements Demonetization derails recovery


Grasim Industries Cement demand witnessed healthy recovery in October 2016; all India production
India Cements
grew ~7% YoY on a relatively higher base. However, following the announcement of
demonetization in November, cement demand was severely impacted. The impact
Shree Cement
was particularly pronounced in the initial 15 days due to acute cash shortage and
Ramco Cement absence of alternate methods of payment for a large part of users. November all-
UltraTech Cement India production declined 15% MoM while still registering a growth of ~1% YoY due
to low base – November 2015 was part of the festive season.

We expect double-digit YoY volume decline in December, led by high base and
demonetization. However, there should be marginal improvement MoM. We expect
all-India volume to decline 1% YoY in 3QFY17. MOSL cement universe is likely to see
volume decline of 0.9% YoY (+ 2.6% QoQ). We expect (a) pan-India players to report
volume decline of 4-8% YoY, (b) players with capacity headroom (SRCM, JK LC) to
deliver 2-5% YoY increase in volumes, (c) South-based companies to deliver
15%+YoY growth due to lesser impact of demonetization as also low base.

In 4QFY17, we expect industry volume to decline on a YoY basis due to absence of


new construction activity as also high base of 4QFY16. In FY18, industry volumes
should see over 5% growth, led by stronger government push towards infrastructure
and low cost housing.

Prices under pressure


Prices increased in October in expectation of demand improvement in 2HFY17, but
declined in December due to demonetization that resulted in dampened demand.
ASP should decline 2% QoQ in 3QFY17 due to weak realization in North and East
markets. We estimate price changes of: (a) -5% QoQ in North India, (b) -2% QoQ in
Central India, (c) ~+5% QoQ in West India, (d) -6% QoQ in East India, and (e) -2%
QoQ in South India.

Profitability likely to be under check


Weaker realizations coupled with subdued volumes and cost push in terms of higher
power and fuel cost should result in sharp sequential decline in profitability. The
impact would be particularly accentuated for North, Central & East market where
price correction has been more dominant. MOSL cement coverage universe
EBITDA/ton would be INR728 (-15% QoQ, +3% YoY).

Top picks include Shree Cement, Ramco Cement and Dalmia Cement
The steep ask rate in terms of realization growth should result in a time correction
for cement stocks. We believe this could be an attractive entry opportunity for
stocks with strong operating cash flows, superior return ratios and higher medium-
to-longer-term earnings visibility. We prefer Shree Cement due to superior return
ratios – RoCE of 30%, with 38% EBITDA CAGR over FY16-18. Ramco Cement is likely
to generate free annual cash flows of INR7b-8b, given strong profitability; it
generates a yield of 6-7%. Dalmia Cement trades at an attractive EV/EBITDA of 9.3x
FY18E, given strong earnings growth on sustenance of profitability and lower
interest cost.

HDPE prices still remain benign, with low-single-digit growth YoY. Some companies
have started taking selective price hikes/grammage reduction/reduction of offers
following increase in raw material costs. However, promotion intensity remains high
in other categories owing to the weak operating environment. Thus, majority of new

earnings visibility, longevity of growth and quality management drives our choices in
the sector universe. We continue preferring Britannia, Colgate, Emami and P&G
Hygiene, notwithstanding the near-term challenges. We recently upgraded Marico
to Buy, as correction in the share price provided a reasonable entry point in an
admirable business franchise with remarkable track record of earnings growth, top-
notch management quality and impressive disclosure levels. In the discretionary
pack, we like Pidilite, Page Industries and United Breweries, despite the near-term
challenges.

An unusual quarter; Several moving parts
Sharp CASA uptick, weak core profitability but high trading gains

 3QFY17 is a historic quarter for banks, with three defining trends (1) sharp
uptick in CASA (expect at least 500bp QoQ rise in CASA) and digitalization drive,
(2) massive flows to bond markets and sharp drop in yields (down ~30bp;
difference between peak and low at 65bp), and (3) collapse in loan growth to a
multi-year low. We believe the current quarter cannot to be extrapolated,
however benefits of demonetization – improved CASA ratio and low interest
rates (led by low inflation) are here to stay.
 Weak loan growth (down 4% QoQ for our coverage universe), negative carry on
old currency notes and excess liquidity would impact NIM. Moderation in loan
growth, delayed buying decision for some retail products, and RBI directive on
cards/payments would impact fee income growth. High footfalls and occupation
of complete bandwidth in accepting deposits will impact branch profitability.
 Bond yields in India are divergent with global trends, with Indian bond yields
down ~30bp QoQ (difference between peak and low at 65bp). Our interactions
with banks’ indicate that they have realized high trading gains/are sitting on
high MTM gains on investment portfolios. This would be handy to clean the
stress loans from balance sheet. Within our universe, we believe SBIN, PNB, CBK
and AXSB are likely to be large beneficiaries.
 We do not see material change in reported asset quality as (a) large corporate
slippages are already taken care of, (b) small value accounts have got
forbearance from the RBI for a quarter, and (c) small value NPAs were
recovered, with borrowers depositing old currency. We would keenly watch
management comments on SME repayments. RBI AQR in FY16 led to high NPAs
and due to weak recoveries till date, provision levels are likely to remain
elevated (ageing of NPAs).
 Retail loan growth has moderated during the quarter, as the entire focus of the
management was towards demonetization. We see this as temporary and
expect retail products like vehicle finance, credit cards and personal loans to
bounce back soon. The big impact of demonetization would be shift in the
market share from unorganized to organized credit. This along with low interest
rates and improvement in resolution process for stress loans would benefit
Financials. Our top picks are ICICIBC and YES amongst private banks; SBIN and
PNB amongst PSU banks; and RBL and Equitas amongst emerging banks.

Demonetization: CASA flows strong...


Demonetization led to strong CASA inflows for the banking sector. Of the total
INR15t+, we expect 30-40% to remain with the banking sector by end of FY17. Our
back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that it will lead to ~5% QoQ increase in
the CASA ratio at the industry level. QTD deposit growth was 4% and banks have
utilized strong liquidity to repay high cost borrowings. If only demonetization is
accounted for, QoQ deposit growth would be 7-8%; however, due to FCNR (B)
deposit redemption, deposit growth would be ~4%. Strong liquidity and high CASA
balance would lead to a sharp fall in cost of funds for banks in 2H, in turn supporting
margins.

… but, near-term loan growth disrupted


QTD loans declined 4%+, as (a) a large part of the branch bandwidth was engaged in
deposit collection, (b) demand for working capital loans was weak due to economic
disruption, (c) banks took a cautious approach to SME/LAP/MFI, etc, (d) investment
sentiment was weak due to uncertainty, (e) FCNR (B) deposit-related loans came up
for redemption, and (f) repayments from loans completing the restructuring
moratorium were higher. ICICIBC and SBIN may report less than 5% YoY loan growth
for the quarter. Improvement in sentiment (led by improving liquidity at the ground
level) and fiscal/monetary policies hold the key for loan growth improvement. We
expect retail growth to moderate for private banks; yet growth would remain
healthy, as they would have captured market share from NBFCs. We expect smaller
private banks to grow, as their market share is low.

January 2017 122


December 2016 Results Preview | Sector: Financials - Banks

Margins stable/decline marginally; bulk financiers to benefit


We expect NII to decline 2% QoQ (but grow 4% YoY) for state-owned banks, and
grow 10% YoY (stable QoQ) for private sector banks. Weak loan growth, negative
carry on old currency notes (until 10th December) and excess liquidity would impact
margins. With sharp reduction in the MCLR rates, yields on loans may come under
pressure, negating the benefit of high interest income reversals in 3QFY16 and
lower cost of funds. Increasingly, intense competition in the refinancing market and
retail loans should put some pressure on blended yields. Banks’ lending rate cuts
have been in sync with the 75-200bp deposit rate cuts over the past year; hence,
margins could be stable or decline a little.

Profit on sale of investments to drive earnings


During the quarter, bond yields declined ~30bp (65bp differential between peak and
bottom during the quarter), which should benefit trading income. Volatility was high
during the quarter, which led to high trading gains. SBIN’s profit on sale of
investments factors in gain on life insurance stake sale during the quarter. To
provide for balance sheet stress, banks may have booked trading gains on the sale
of HTM security in OMO. MTM/realized losses on equity exposure (taken via SDRs)
would marginally negate gains on the investment portfolio.

Asset quality stress to be elevated, but decline QoQ


Factors likely to continue weighing on performance include (a) banks’ continued
cleanup exercise (expect largely from RL and watch list), (b) non-fund-based
exposure turning into NPAs for some stressed corporates, and (c) impact on the
supply chain of stressed large corporates. Performance on the watch list will be the
key thing to watch out for. SME and agriculture portfolio may see stable asset
quality partially, driven by prepayment of loans and dispensation on recognition of
NPL given by the RBI. We factor slippage ratio of 2.2% (2.5% in 2QFY17) and
provision-to-average-assets of 1.1% (1.5% in 2QFY17) for state-owned banks and
120bp (135bp in 2QFY17) for private sector banks. Ageing of NPA will lead to higher
provisioning charge during the quarter.

Core operating profits under pressure; trading gains a key to profitability


Core revenue growth is likely to remain muted YoY, led by moderate balance sheet
growth, stable/declining margins and moderate fee income growth. Non-core
revenue is expected to be high but operating expenditure would also be high and
credit cost would be elevated. Private sector banks would continue outperforming
state-owned banks. Over the past year, Indian banks (mainly state-owned) have sold
assets worth ~INR700b to asset reconstruction companies (ARCs). We believe write-
downs and the resultant MTM provisioning for the same (as per the RBI’s guidelines)
would begin over the coming 1-2 quarters. Overall profit growth is expected to be
1.1x YoY (on a lower base; 3QFY16 was impacted by AQR exercise). We expect
private banks’ earnings to decline 11% YoY and state-owned banks’ earnings to be
INR52b v/s loss of INR39b in 3QFY16.

January 2017 123


December 2016 Results Preview | Sector: Financials - Banks

Marginal cut in estimates; expect flat earnings QoQ


Demonetization is likely to have higher impact on loan growth. While we have
marginally lowered growth estimates and factored in margin reduction, better
trends on profit on sale of investment are leading to just 2-3% earnings cut. We are
closely looking at the activities at the ground level/management commentary for
small value delinquencies (expected to hit in 1QFY18) due to demonetization.
Rather than current quarter earnings, management commentary on business
growth in the ensuing quarters (with more data in place) is important. Our top picks
are ICICIBC and YES amongst private banks; SBIN and PNB amongst PSU banks; and
RBL and Equitas amongst emerging banks.

Financials - NBFCs
Company name Expect demonetization-led subdued performance
Bajaj Finance Disbursement growth – the key monitorable; Asset quality impact camouflaged

Bharat Financial Inclusion  We expect NBFCs under our coverage universe to report PAT growth of 16%
Dewan Housing YoY in 3QFY17. In our view, disbursements for all NBFCs have been hit on
account of demonetization. Asset quality woes may not be reflected in the
GRUH Finance
quarterly numbers due to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) dispensation. We
HDFC expect housing finance companies (HFCs), especially those with a low share of
Indiabulls Housing LAP and corporate loans, to perform relatively well on the asset quality front
LIC Housing Fin compared to NBFC-AFCs. Our discussions with managements indicate that the
business performance was not as bad as envisaged. We believe management
M & M Financial
commentary on the 4Q outlook is the key. Within our NBFC coverage universe,
Muthoot Finance
BHAFIN and LICHF are likely to post strong earnings growth of 25%+ YoY,
Repco Home Fin which is commendable in this environment. HFCs should see a stable quarter
Shriram Transport Fin. in terms of loan growth due to the outstanding sanction pipeline. We would
closely look at the margins performance, considering the sharp reduction in
bond yields and the significant proportion of incremental funding from bonds.
 Housing finance companies: HFCs under our coverage universe should deliver
PAT growth of 15% YoY in 3QFY17, driven by a continued focus on the individual
segment. The sharp rally in bond yields was the key positive in the quarter. DHFL
raised INR140b via bonds in the prior quarter, the full benefits of which should
be reflected in the NIM in this quarter, in our view. HDFC is likely to deliver 14%
loan growth, and dividend from the bank will support earnings growth. We
believe players with a high share of self-employed customers and LAP/builder
loans are likely to witness slowdown in disbursements and problems in
collections. However, the numbers might not reflect the stress in the segment
due to the RBI dispensation on NPA recognition.
 Asset finance companies: We expect growth for AFCs under our coverage to
slow down sharply from prior quarters, especially in vehicle finance. We expect
SHTF/MMFS to report flat AUM QoQ. BAF, however, will be an exception, with
25%+ AUM growth, driven by all segments, except 2W/3W financing and LAP.
We do not foresee significant asset quality issues for BAF as its customers are
mostly salaried and collections are mainly non-cash based.
 Gold financing: Specialized gold financing company, MUTH, is likely to have a
subdued quarter with stable AUM QoQ (+10% YoY). We expect margins to
improve YoY, but remain largely stable QoQ. We believe future movements in
gold prices hold the key.
 Microfinance: BHAFIN is likely to report slower AUM growth of ~30%, given
slowdown in disbursements post demonetization. Margins, however, should
remain stable, resulting in ~30% NII growth. The company recently raised
INR7.5b, the benefit of which should be reflected in 2H. Reduction in lending

Healthcare
Company name Pricing pressure in the US to keep growth under check
Alembic Pharmaceuticals
Biocon
 We expect our pharma universe to report sequentially flat EBITDA growth in
Cadila Healthcare
Cipla 3QFY17, largely led by pricing pressure and higher R&D expenditure. Also,
Divi's Laboratories increased US regulatory scrutiny is resulting in higher remediation expenses and
Dr Reddy’ s Labs
de-risking of key products. This, in turn, should weigh down on operating
Glenmark Pharma
GSK Pharma margins for our coverage universe.
Ipca Laboratories  Glenmark is expected to exhibit strong growth in the US, led by Z etia FTF and a
Lupin series of other generic launches. Aurobindo should report stable US sales, driven
Ranbaxy Labs
Sanofi India by key launches (including Crestor). On the other hand, Sun and Lupin should
Sun Pharma continue witnessing a sequential decline in the US business on the back of
Torrent Pharmaceuticals competition in key products.
 After a strong 1HFY17, the domestic pharma business is expected to face
headwinds from seasonal weakness and demonetization. Although the chronic
business may benefit at the margin due to demonetization, the acute segment
may be see some impact in the near term.
 Among MNCs, Sanofi is likely to report better numbers, while GSK should face
some pressure from the ongoing supply issues.
 The pace of approvals has picked up at the US FDA. However, the lack of key
approvals, higher R&D spends and regulatory concerns in the domestic/US
markets are likely to keep growth under check.
 We maintain our top picks – Aurobindo, Sun Pharma, Fortis and Granules.

Depreciated USD/INR to benefit export-oriented companies


 The average rate of the INR against the USD has depreciated by ~2.3% YoY over
the past year (67.46 in 3QFY17 v/s 65.95 last year).
 USD/INR, however, has been flat sequentially. It is thus unlikely to result in any
significant MTM impact for companies with large forex debt and derivative
exposure.
 Brexit was expected to have a negative impact on companies from 2QFY17.
However, we note that most Indian companies have limited exposure to the UK
market (< 1-2% of sales). Also, post the Brexit vote, it is still unclear whether or
not Indian companies will have to conduct separate trials for approval in the UK
and other EU markets. Separate trials would mean additional cost for companies
(however, this is not expected to happen at least for next two years).

as trade continues to be weak.
 Margins are unlikely to see meaningful improvement due to increased competitive
intensity.
 Sequential improvement in earnings for CCRI would be due to low base in 2QFY17.
GDPL’s earnings are likely to be flat sequentially.

EX IM originating container trade declined ~ 2%YoY in October-November


 EXIM originating volume by rail is likely to decline by 2% for 3QFY17, as EXIM
trade continues to be sluggish.
 CCRI is likely to report EXIM volume growth of 7% YoY for 3QFY17, led by strong
volume growth in the month of November.
 GDPL is likely to report 6-7% YoY volume growth in the rail segment, led by ramp
up of Faridabad terminal.

Margins likely to be flattish sequentially


 We expect CCRI to report flat margins QoQ, as higher volumes would be offset
by rate rationalization in select routes by key players.
 GDPL should see some sequential improvement in rail profitability, led by higher
proportion of double-stacking.
 AGLL is likely to see marginal improvement in margins, led by profitability
improvement in MTO segment.

Lower leads to hurt margins


 Lead distance for EXIM trade by rail has declined by ~6% YoY (October-
November 2016) due to higher container movement from the Mundra and
Pipavav ports than from JNPT.

Media
Company name Demonetization-led pain to be felt across Media
D B Corp Aggregate earnings to remain flat
Dish TV India Expect muted ad revenue growth: We expect ad revenue for our Media universe to
Hathway Cable & Datacom grow at a meager ~1% YoY, lower than the 7-13% growth in the preceding four
HT Media quarters. Both broadcasters and print companies are likely to face the brunt of
Jagran Prakashan demonetization. The ad pain is expected to be more debilitating for print media,
PVR given higher reliance on local/retail advertisers, who are most impacted by the cash
Sun TV
squeeze. Z ee’s ad growth is expected to moderate to ~4% YoY after six quarters of
strong ad revenues. Apart from FMCG, Telecom, Auto, Consumer Durables, and
Z ee Entertainment
Traditional Retail too have cut back on ad spends. Regional/niche channels and
publishers are expected to take a bigger hit. Our industry interactions suggest that a
full recovery could be expected by 1QFY18.

Expect aggregate Media universe earnings to remain flat YoY: Aggregate Media
sector earnings are expected to remain flat YoY, largely led by a decline in
profitability of print and distribution platforms. Z ee/SUNTV are expected to clock
earnings growth of 10%/13% YoY. Within the print pack, DB Corp, Jagran, HT Media
and HMVL’s earnings are expected to decline by 3%, 16%, 31% and 9%, respectively.
While DB Corp’s relative outperformance v/s its print peers is courtesy a lower base,
Jagran is expected to report a lower dip in profitability than smaller UP rivals HT
Media/HMVL due to its stronger foothold in the government ad revenue pie. Dish
TV too is expected to see an impact on profitability as both recharges and activation
take a hit following demonetization. However, normalization of the same is
expected to be swift.

Expect monetization to improve over the next two quarters for Pay TV operators;
increased activity toward Phase III seeding: We expect monetization for Pay TV
operators to improve over the next two quarters as all stay orders on DAS III
implementation have been now lifted by the Delhi High Court. This should drive
increased MSO share in digital cable revenue—the key to improve economics of
MSOs as well as pricing for broadcasters and DTH operators. However, with Phase
I/II monetization remaining sub-par, we expect MSOs to be more cautious in Phase
III markets. We expect subscriber additions to remain flat QoQ for Dish TV due to
demonetization. We model 0.6m gross additions for Dish TV during the quarter
compared with an estimated 0.67m in 2QFY17.

Digitization upside, ad growth revival remain key themes: Subscriber-level ARPU


increases in Phase I/II markets and Phase III digitization are key growth triggers.
MSOs are likely to witness profitability improvement, as they continue to drive
monetization efforts in Phase I/II/III. FMCG-led ad spend outlook remains weak;
however, any revival in the same coupled with renewed spends by Telecom and
Auto over the next two quarters could keep ad growth healthy. Broadcasters as well
as print companies will be the key beneficiaries of the same, in our view.

Metals
Company name Across-the-board price increase drives strong
Hindalco performance
Hindustan Z inc NMDC, Nalco and Vedanta benefit from volume and price increases
JSW Steel
Nalco Across-the-board increase in commodity prices
NMDC
Metal stocks continue benefiting from across-the-board rise in metal prices and
volume ramp-up. Steel prices in 3QFY17 were up 9-12% QoQ or INR3,000-3,800 per
SAIL
ton, led by a seasonally weak base (monsoon) and cost-led price increase. Among
Tata Steel
base metals, zinc/lead average LME was up 11%/15% to USD2,511/USD2,156 per
Vedanta
ton. Z inc LME is up ~USD930 per ton (~60%) since the recent low in 4QFY16, driven
by supply tightness. Aluminum LME was up 6% QoQ to USD1,710 per ton, driven by
steady demand, slower supply ramp-up in China and cost pressure. Alumina was up
29% QoQ to USD302 per ton on increased demand in China, transportation issues
and cost factors.

NMDC and Nalco to outperform


We estimate EBITDA for our metal coverage universe to increase 18% QoQ (2.7x
YoY) on higher realization and volume increase. NMDC and Nalco are likely to
outperform the pack. NMDC’s EBITDA is estimated to rise 79% QoQ to INR14.7b, led
by an increase of 24% QoQ in volumes (to 10mt) and 13% QoQ in domestic
realization (to INR2,440 per ton). Strong domestic iron ore demand and pricing
discount to international ore would continue driving strong earnings momentum for
NMDC. Nalco’s EBITDA is estimated to almost double QoQ to INR3.5b on higher
realization (both aluminum and alumina) and alumina volumes, and lower cost.

Vedanta to benefit from volume ramp-up and commodity price increases


Vedanta’s EBITDA is estimated to increase 44% QoQ to INR67b, led by strong
volume- and price-led growth in zinc and aluminum. Other commodities should also
contribute positively, with iron ore benefiting from price increase and volume
recovery post lull in 2Q due to monsoon, and oil & gas benefiting from an increase in
oil prices (USD51/bbl v/s QoQ USD45/bbl). Hindalco’s EBITDA is estimated to
increase 6% QoQ to INR32b, led by higher aluminum prices.

Steel companies to see margins decline on higher cost; Tata Steel to


outperform
Among the steel mills, while realization was impressively higher, the margins will be
impacted by an increase in coking coal prices and volume impact due to
demonetization. Tata Steel, however, is likely to outperform, with estimated EBITDA
increase of 14% QoQ to INR33b led by advantage on captive coking coal and limited
impact on margins in EU (USD53/t v/s USD67 in 2Q). JSW Steel’s EBITDA is estimated
to decline 17% QoQ to INR24b due to raw material price increase. SAIL will be back
in red at operating level.

Revising zinc LME estimate


We have revised our FY18 zinc price estimates to USD2,570/t from USD2,200/t
earlier. Our revised TPs are presented in Exhibit 15, Exhibit 16 and Exhibit 17.
Vedanta’s TP is upgraded to INR250/share from INR220/share on higher zinc price
estimate – maintain Neutral. Tata Steel’s TP is revised to INR321 from INR290 on
higher margins in India – maintain Sell.

BPCL GRMs up, Inventory gains to help too
GAIL
 Singapore complex GRM increased sequentially from USD5.1/bbl in 2QFY17 to
Gujarat State Petronet
USD6.7/bbl in 3QFY17. However, it was lower than USD7.8/bbl in 3QFY16. Rise in
HPCL
crude oil prices is also expected to help with inventory gains.
Indraprastha Gas  While rise in oil prices would be beneficial for upstream companies, we expect
IOC operating cost to be higher, which would result in marginal QoQ rise in EBITDA of
MRPL ONGC and Oil India.
Oil India  RIL is also likely to benefit from good GRMs this quarter. However, HDPE and LLDPE
ONGC delta seem to have declined 5-10% QoQ.

December 2015 to USD55.8/bbl on 31st December 2016), up from USD45.7/bbl
in 2QFY17 and USD43.4/bbl in 3QFY16 on account of OPEC and non-OPEC
decision to cut oil production with effect from January 2017.
 We do not build any net under-recovery either for the OMCs or for the
upstream companies.

GRM at USD6.7/bbl, up from USD5.1/bbl in 2QFY17; refiners to benefit


 Petrol crack spread of USD11.8/bbl in 3QFY17 was higher than USD8.9/bbl in
2QFY17, but lower than USD15.9/bbl in 3QFY16. Diesel crack spread also
increased from USD10.6/bbl in 2QFY17 to USD11.3/bbl in 3QFY17; however, it
was down from USD13/bbl in 3QFY16.
 Both PE and PP deltas seem to have declined 3-4% QoQ. However, PVC has
strengthened by 1% QoQ. Compared with 3QFY16, PE, PP and PVC deltas are up
7-22%. RIL is expected to benefit from YoY strengthening.

 Despite rise in crude oil prices, the OMCs have broadly been able to take price
hikes to maintain gross marketing margin of ~INR2.7/liter (including freight) on
diesel and petrol in the quarter.
 The gross marketing margins are higher than INR2.3/liter during the regulation
era. We expect marketing margins to remain higher than regulated era margins.
Valuation and view
 Against the backdrop of a lower oil price regime, auto fuel pricing freedom and
stable marketing margins, we retain OMCs (IOCL/HPCL/BPCL) as our top picks.
 We expect strong performance from MRPL due to revival in GRM in the quarter.
 RIL is expected to report improvement in GRM in the quarter. While core
earnings growth would be significant, telecom losses would cap consolidated
earnings and return ratios.
 Although volume growth would continue for CGD players, we might see margin
compression in the industrial segment due to increase in LNG prices. Cut in APM
price is negative for ONGC/OINL; however, OPEC and non-OPEC efforts to cut oil
production should revive realizations, benefitting ONGC/OINL.

Retail
Company name Hit by double whammy of demonetization, weak festive season
Jubilant Foodworks
Barring Titan, sales likely to be anemic for retail peers

Shoppers Stop Retail coverage universe likely to grow sales at 8.1%


Titan Company For our retail coverage universe, we expect revenues to increase 8.1% YoY, but PAT
to decline 9.5% YoY in 3QFY17. EBITDA is likely to decline 1% YoY. Titan’s jewelry
retail revenue reportedly grew 15% YoY in 3QFY17, led by healthy festive season
growth. The company also exhibited a sharp recovery relative to unorganized peers
in the jewelry segment, leading to market share gains. However, its watches
segment sales via the trade channel (50% of segment sales) continued to be
adversely affected, while its retail segment reported single-digit sales growth. We
expect Jubilant Foodworks’ sales to drop 8% YoY, with same-store sales declining
14% due to the adverse impact of demonetization on discretionary consumption as
well as likely weak festive season sales (according to our channel checks).
Demonetization and weak festive season sales are also likely to result in flat LTL
growth at Shoppers Stop, with sales growth of just 5% YoY. Brick-and-mortar retail
companies continue to face the onslaught of online retailers.

Store expansion subdued


Retail companies under our coverage are moderating store expansion. Titan added
four Tanishq stores (adding 12ksf), Jubilant has likely added 30 stores, while
Shoppers Stop is likely to have reduced its net store count by 1 in 3QFY17.
Expansion plans are likely to be a function of pick-up in consumer sentiment.

No preferred pick in the sector given weak environment


Demand remains sluggish across retail players with no recovery in sight.
Competition is also a worry for JUBI and SHOP in a period of slowdown. While we
like JUBI’s business model (decent RoEs even during slowdown and strong potential
earnings growth on recovery), poor medium-term visibility (possible worsening in
consumer sentiment) refrains us from turning constructive. The share price
correction has been concurrent with a steep cut in earnings estimates as a result of
delayed recovery, which means that valuations still remain expensive. Similarly,
while we like TTAN’s franchise, management quality and long-term opportunity in
the jewelry segment, demand headwinds remain a worry for the company.

Technology
Company Name In the middle of old and (potentially) new problems
Cyient Gradual recovery to continue at TECHM; seasonality and BFSI keep 3Q
HCL Technologies
Hexaware Technologies expectations modest
Infosys
K PIT Technologies Expectations laid low by macro and seasonality…
L&T Infotech After a seasonally strong 1H offered nothing to write home about, compounding of
MindTree Consulting
furloughs in the third quarter keeps our expectations muted. The situation would be
Mphasis
NIIT Tech further accentuated by the depreciation of GBP, EUR, AUD and JPY against the USD.
Persistent Systems The brunt of client-specific and other issues has been evident in:
TCS  INFO’s termination of a contract with RBS’ standalone UK bank, Williams & Glyn
Tech Mahindra
Wipro (W&G), leading to gradual ramp down of as many as 3,000 employees, which is
Z ensar Technologies expected to kick off in 3Q.
 MTCL’s revenue decline in 2Q, and lack of visible revival in 3Q from top client
spending bumps, pricing pressure and delayed ramp-up of projects.
 WPRO’s organic growth guidance of -1% to +1% for 3Q despite improvement
measures under the new leadership.

… but expect TECHM’s slow and gradual recovery to continue


 We expect TECHM to lead sequential growth at 3.1% QoQ CC. Its revenue would
include residual one-month contribution from Target acquisition (~0.6pp).
However, excluding this too, our organic growth estimate of ~2.5% QoQ CC
betters peers.
 It also enjoys a favorable base to expand margins this quarter, given 100bp
impact from one-time hit in the last quarter. We model 70bp QoQ expansion in
EBITDA margin to 16.6% and better sequential performance than other top-tier
peers.

Cross currencies are at it again!


 We see top-tier growth in constant currency ranging between -1% and 3.1%
QoQ and 6.6% to 13.1% YoY. However, strengthening of the USD against other
major global currencies means yet another quarter of significant cross-currency
impact, with QoQ depreciation in EUR, JPY, GBP and AUD of 1% to 10% QoQ.
 Consequently, in USD terms (including impact from GBP depreciation and other
currencies), we expect growth of -2.1% to 1.7% QoQ and 4.1% to 10.8% YoY.

Margin movement YoY is a fair reflection of business pressure


Pricing pressure in traditional services and renewals, and necessary investments for
transitioning to Digital have been weighing on margins. Although the INR has
depreciated against the USD by 2.1% QoQ, the impact of depreciation of other
currencies limits any tailwind. We see sequential movement of margins in the range
of -80bp and 70bp for Tier-I, and -160bp and 100bp for Tier-II. Six of the 14
companies under our coverage are expected to report positive sequential
movement in EBITDA margins. On a YoY basis though, margin movement for Tier-I
ranges from -130bp to -40bp.

Any hopes of the sector’s health getting on the mend?


 As if uncertain macro, deteriorating pricing and margins in traditional services
combined with capability uptick challenges in Digital were not enough, any
protectionist impetus in the US is an added overhang, going forward.
 But for that, there is a case for a rosier picture come FY18, given that
macroeconomic challenges that resulted in a deterioration of performance
through FY17 aren’t expected to impact FY18 with the same force. Interest rate
cycle reversal in the US augurs well for BFSI spending.
 Add to that, deal wins haven’t been showing any signs of let-off. INFO’s TCV of
large deal wins at USD3.1b is 34% higher YoY, and MTCL’s deal wins of USD888m
are up 24% YoY – quite a contradiction from revenue growth.
 Companies’ outlook on the balance of these counteracting forces will be keenly
watched, with valuation multiples still at corrected levels.
PAT decline led by margin contraction and forex movement
 Aggregate PAT is expected to grow by a tepid 1% YoY for tier-I and decline by
6.9% YoY for tier-II. The primary reasons for the drop have been [ 1] industry-
wide pressure on margins, and [ 2] forex losses (on hedges, and on translation).
 EBITDA margins are expected to decline YoY in 3QFY17 for all companies under
our coverage (barring Mphasis, Hexaware and L&T Infotech). Cumulative EBITDA
margins are modeled to decline by ~100bp for both Tier-I and Tier-II companies
under our coverage.

Valuation comfort offset by uncertainty; prefer INFO, HCLT, TECHM


 Lest the macro turns for the better, we see limited upside triggers for the sector
over the near term. Although issues cited as causes for the recent slowdown
have been taking a turn, other than improved deal wins, there are few signs to
find comfort in.
 Risks are lesser at HCLT given visibility from its unchanged guidance for the year,
and TECHM, with improvement in Telecom and continued strength in
Enterprise.
 Moreover, the prospective improvement in profitability at TECHM, led by
leverage lent by revival of Top 10 customers, and likely profitability
stability/resurrection in subsidiaries could lead to a trajectory different from the
industry.
 Given the traction in revenue growth leadership (notwithstanding the cyclical
speed breaker) at INFO under new leadership, we take greater comfort in its
valuations, compared to TCS, which too is citing challenges in BFSI – a risk to its
premium multiple.
 Potential of double-digit organic growth at HCLT (substantiated by order book),
better growth compared to TECHM and WPRO, along with 25%+ RoE leaves
ample room for upside despite embedding conservatism on the margin outlook.
Moreover, its exposure to IMS and Engineering Services protects it from the
weakness seen in BFSI.
 Among the Tier-II IT, we prefer CYL, LTI and Z ENT.

December 2016 Results Preview | Sector: Telecom

Telecom
Company name Huge disruption; overhaul of market structure
Bharti Airtel
Voice and data traffic shifting toward RJio
Bharti Infratel
RJio’s freebees and demonetization hurting overall usage
Idea Cellular
Despite being seasonally strong, the third quarter this year is expected to be dismal
for the telecom industry. RJio’s welcome offer with free data/voice – which started
on 5 September 2016 – has significantly diluted voice and data usage in the industry.
Additionally, the demonetization-led cash crunch has led to lower voice/data
recharges, particularly in the initial two weeks, impacting both traffic and pricing.
Bharti and Idea’s revenues are expected to decline 6-7% QoQ (down 1-3% YoY) with
EBITDA margins down by about 300-400bp.

Expect low revenue growth


We expect Bharti’s India wireless revenue to decline 5.9% QoQ and 0.8% YoY to
INR138.6b. On a consolidated basis, Bharti’s revenues should drop 2.4% QoQ to
INR240.5b, with a flat performance in Africa. Idea too should see a revenue decline
of 6.6% QoQ and 3.6% YoY to INR86.9b. However, Bharti Infratel is likely to witness
a healthy quarter with improved tenancy post weakness over the last two quarters,
driven by fresh rollouts across telcos post spectrum auctions and limited exits. We
expect Bharti Infratel’s revenues to increase 2% QoQ and 8% YoY to INR33.6b.

 Voice revenues to decline 4-5% QoQ: 3QFY17 saw a shift in outgoing voice
usage toward RJio. However, the impact was seen on pricing instead of voice
minutes. This is because RJio’s free usage reduced Bharti and Idea’s outgoing
minutes but increased incoming traffic. Given that there is a paltry
INR0.14/minute interconnect charge on income minutes compared to
~INR0.60/min charge on outgoing minutes, we believe voice pricing should be
impacted significantly. Also, telcos are rationalizing high-ARPU subscriber plans
to match RJio’s pricing. Assuming price decline of ~5-6% QoQ and voice traffic
growth of ~2% QoQ, we expect voice revenues for Bharti and Idea to decline
~4% QoQ and 0-2% YoY, respectively.
 Data revenues to see sharper decline: The impact on the data business is likely
to be much steeper as many subscribers have shifted to RJio’s free data offering.
As announced on 30-November, RJio reached the 50m subscriber mark, which is
nearly 35-40% of the industry’s 15m broadband subscribers (as per September
TRAI report) and ~5% of voice subscribers. Further, demonetization is expected
to have had a considerable impact on the industry’s data business, which mostly
relies on the higher-ticket-size data recharges (95% prepaid subscribers in the
Indian telecom market). Given that RJio recorded data usage of about
27GB/sub/month, it is likely to have eaten up significant amount of business of
other operators. We expect Bharti and Idea’s data revenues to decline steeply
by 14-17% QoQ and 4-7% YoY, respectively, in 3QFY17 on the back of ~10-15%
QoQ data price decline and 2-5% QoQ lower data traffic.

EBITDA margin in contraction mode


Weak revenue performance, coupled with heavy network investment, is expected to
put EBITDA margins under significant pressure in 3QFY17. During the quarter, the
cost structure should see a sharp variation due to declining access cost led by lower
outgoing minutes. On the contrary, we expect network and SG&A costs to increase
significantly in a bid to counter RJio’s aggressive service launch. We expect India
EBITDA margins for Bharti/Idea to see contraction of ~300-400bp QoQ. On a YoY
basis, this implies just 40bp impact for Bharti India wireless to 39.3%, given the
steadily improving margins over past three quarters. However, Idea is expected to
see a strong 840bp YoY impact on EBITDA margin to 26.4% due to its steady rise in
network investment.

Bharti’s Africa business to report flat revenue QoQ, 30bp EBITDA margin
improvement: After the decline last quarter due to the sale of businesses in two
African regions (Burkina Faso and Sierre Leone), Bharti’s Africa revenues are
expected to remain flat QoQ this quarter at USD909m. Nigeria, which contributes
about one-third of Africa revenues, saw flat currency (Naira) movement, leading to
flat revenue expectation in INR terms too. We expect Africa EBITDA margin to
improve 30bp to 24% due to cost-rationalization measures.

Bharti Infratel to see recovery in tenancy: We expect Bharti Infratel to report


healthy numbers with tenancies growing by 5,800, as against average tenancy
addition of 2,000 in 1HFY17. This is driven by fresh rollouts across telcos post the
spectrum auction and limited exits during the quarter. We also expect 2% QoQ and
8% YoY improvement in Bharti Infratel’s revenues to INR33.6b. Ex-energy EBITDA
margin is expected to trend down by 20bp QoQ to 66.1%, translating into 43.8%
overall margin (-20bp QoQ), due to expectations of pricing pressure on rental rates
from tenancy renewals. Ex-energy EBITDA should grow 1.3% QoQ to INR13.9b.

Our view: We expect Bharti and Idea’s revenue and EBITDA to decline sharply as
the industry undergoes a complete overhaul. Bharti Infratel should see healthy
recovery in tenancies, driving its growth further.

Utilities
Company name Expect muted profit growth for Utilities universe
CESC Power Grid to outperform on strong capitalization momentum
Coal India
Amongst our Utilities sector coverage universe, we expect Power Grid to report
JSW Energy
strong set of numbers. Other companies would at best report muted profit growth.
NTPC Power Grid’s 3QFY17 PAT is likely to increase 23% YoY to INR19b.
Power Grid Corp.
We expect NTPC’s PAT to grow ~5% YoY to INR21.7b on lower other income. NTPC’s
commercial capacity is flat QoQ at 45.9GW. JSW Energy is likely to be impacted by
under-utilization of its Vijaynagar plant. We estimate Vijaynagar operated at just
~50% PLF in 3QFY17 v/s 96% in 3QFY16. JSWE’s PAT is likely to decline 54% YoY to
INR1.4b on lower generation and higher fuel cost due to higher coal prices. CESC’s
PAT would be broadly flat YoY at INR1.4b, as gain from increase in regulated equity
base would be offset by impact from the negative bid for the captive coal block.

Coal India is likely to disappoint, with EBITDA (ex-OBR) decline estimated at ~19%
YoY to INR40b. Realization would be flat YoY at INR1,378/t while volumes would
grow 4% YoY to 142mt. Provisioning for the wage hike would impact profitability.

Generation growth tepid: Electricity generation was up 4.8% YoY in 3QFY17 (YTD
5.1%). Coal-based generation grew at a similar rate; however, the pace of growth
has improved in the last couple of months. Conventional generation capacity stood
at 262GW (up 6.5% YoY). System PLF was down 67bp to 50% YTD December 2016.
For coal-based plants, PLF was down 243bp to 59% YTD December 2016.

ST prices remain low: Short-term (ST) prices on IEX were marginally higher QoQ at
INR2.37/kWh. IEX day-ahead volumes were up 13% YoY to 10bu in 3QFY17. Growth
was led by the southern region.
