Today’s top research idea Market snapshot

Chart of the Day: ACC (Volumes decline 13% YoY due to COVID-19 shutdown)

ACC: Volumes decline 13% YoY due to COVID-19 shutdown

ACC's 1QCY20 results reflect the adverse impact of COVID-19. While volumes

declined 13% YoY, EBITDA still grew 10% YoY on lower costs.

We have cut our CY20 volume estimate by a further 8% (to 23.1mt, down

20% YoY) due to the COVID-19 impact but have kept CY21 estimates (volume

assumed same as CY19) unchanged

ACC trades at 6.3x CY21 EV/EBITDA which is a 35-55% discount to peers such

as Shree Cement, UltraTech and Ramco. We believe that such a large

valuation discount is excessive as (a) ACC has arrested its market share losses

since CY17 and should continue to grow in line with the market for at least

next five years, (b) its net cash balance sheet (22% of market cap) places it

well to withstand any extended disruption from COVID-19, and (c) with its

planned capacity expansions in CY22, the proportion of inefficient assets

would decline and improve profitability.

Volumes decline 13% YoY due to COVID-19 shutdown Balance sheet remains strong, valuations attractive ACC’s 1QCY20 results reflect the adverse impact of COVID-19. While

volumes declined 13% YoY, EBITDA still grew 10% YoY on lower costs.

We have cut our CY20 volume estimate by a further 8% (to 23.1mt, down

20% YoY) due to the COVID-19 impact but have kept CY21 estimates

(volume assumed same as CY19) unchanged. Reiterate Buy on strong

balance sheet (net cash at 22% of market cap) and attractive valuations

Lower costs and higher realizations drive EBITDA growth Volumes were down 13% YoY to 6.56mt due to the shutdown of operations

from 24th Mar’20 under the government’s directives. This led to 11% YoY

decline in revenue to INR35.0b.

Unitary cost declined 1.6% YoY (-2% QoQ) to INR4,445/t (v/s our estimate of

INR4,588/t), supported by lower raw material cost.

Cement realization improved ~1% QoQ to INR4,639/t but was below our

estimate due to weaker geographical sales mix.

Led by cost reduction and improvement in realization, EBITDA/t improved

28% QoQ (+26% YoY) to INR893 (v/s our estimate of INR881).

EBITDA of INR5.9b (+10% YoY) was in line with our estimate; margin

expanded 3.42pp QoQ to 16.7% (+3.18pp YoY).

Reported PAT at INR3.2b was in line with estimate, but declined 5.5% YoY

due to higher other income last year on account of tax refunds.

Highlights from management commentary After shutdown of operations for nearly four weeks, ACC plans to resume

operations in a phased manner.

Management expects cement demand to contract sharply in CY20 due to

the impact of COVID-19. It expects rural housing demand to recover faster

than urban housing while infrastructure and construction should revive at a

moderate pace. Demand should recover from the year-end.

ACC has adopted Ind-AS 116 from 1st Jan’20. It has accordingly recognized

lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of INR1.32b. Adoption of Ind-AS 116

has led to (a) lowering of other expenses in 1QCY20 by INR88.5m, and (b)

increase in depreciation expenses by INR72m and finance costs by INR26m,

all of which are marginal in nature.

Valuation and view ACC trades at 35-55% discount to peers such as Shree Cement, UltraTech

and Ramco. We believe that such a large valuation discount is excessive as

(a) ACC has arrested its market share losses since CY17 and should continue

to grow in line with the market, (b) its net cash balance sheet (22% of

market cap) places it well to withstand any extended disruption from

COVID-19, and (c) with its planned capacity expansions in CY22, the

proportion of inefficient assets would decline and improve profitability. We

value ACC at 8.5x CY21E EV/EBITDA (~35% discount to the past 5-year

average of 12.7x) to arrive at a target price of INR1,370, which implies a

target EV/t of USD80 and target P/E of 20x on CY21. Reiterate Buy.

Unit 4: Reduced regulatory headwinds with VAI in place The Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) status is expected to benefit Aurobindo Pharma

(ARBP)’s injectables business. Here are the highlights:

The USFDA granted the VAI status to ARBP’s Unit 4 inspection that was conducted

over 4–13th Nov’19.

This increases the visibility on abbreviated new drug application (ANDA)

approvals (47 pending approval) from Unit 4, one of the company’s injectables

manufacturing sites.

Accordingly, we have revised our PE multiple to 12x (from 10x earlier) to factor in

reduced regulatory headwinds and raised our price target to INR745. We remain

positive on ARBP and expect a 7% earnings CAGR over FY19–22, led by a robust

ANDA pipeline for US generics, improving profitability in the EU owing to its foray

into newer markets, and a shift in product manufacturing to India. Maintain Buy.

Sigh of relief for Unit 4 after USFDA grants VAI status

The USFDA inspected Unit 4 over 4–13th Nov’19, thereafter issuing Form 483

with 14 observations. The observations highlighted deficiencies in assuring

aseptic processes in the manufacturing of sterile products. Subsequently on 19th

Feb, the USFDA cleared the site by issuing an establishment inspection report

(EIR) with the VAI status; however, immediately after, on 21st Feb, the

administration revoked the VAI status. This action, by way of rescindment of the

90-day VAl letter, implied the inspection conducted was still open and under

review. Unit 4 was finally re-granted the VAI status recently. This clears the site

for further ANDA approvals.

Site has maximum ANDA approvals pending Unit 4 is a sterile plant (of lyophilized and powder injections and prefilled

syringes) of ARBP, along with other injectables manufacturing sites, such as Unit

12, Unit 16, Eugia, and Auronext. These accounted for 25% of US sales at the

end of 3QFY20. Unit 4 is likely to form 7–8% of USD1.5b worth of US annual

sales. ARBP has received 63 ANDA approvals to date in total from the Unit 4 site,

while final approval is awaited for 47. This approval clears the plant from

regulatory actions and presents the opportunity for pending products to be

approved.

Regulatory risk moderated In the past year, the USFDA has inspected 10 sites. Units 5 and 8 were inspected

in Oct’19 and classified as VAI. The revocation of inspection classification at Unit

4 in Feb’20 put regulatory pressure on ARBP. However, the company managed

to bounce back from this, with the VAI status being re-granted to Unit 4 after

just two months of it being rescinded. Units 1, 11, and 7 have been classified as

Official Action Indicated (OAI) and Unit 9 has been issued a warning letter.

Valuation and view We remain positive on ARBP and expect a 7% earnings CAGR over FY19–22, led by its robust ANDA pipeline and continued momentum in US generics. With the regulatory risk reduced at one of its key sites, we raise our PE multiple for ARBP to 12x (from 10x earlier) and revise our price target to INR745 (from INR595 earlier). Maintain Buy.

Business growth modest; CASA mix declines sequentially Federal Bank (FB) has released its quarterly update highlighting key business numbers for

4QFY20. Below are the key highlights:

Business growth was modest with gross advances growing 11%/2.7% YoY/QoQ to

INR1.24t, affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, which impacted few days in Mar’20.

Deposit base for the bank increased to INR1.52t, registering a growth of 12.8%

YoY/5.3% QoQ (v/s 17.1% YoY/3.6% QoQ in 3QFY20).

CASA ratio declined ~100bp QoQ (-160bp YoY) to 30.5%. This implies a modest 7.1%

YoY (+2.1% QoQ) growth in CASA deposits while TD grew ~15.6% YoY (+6.8% QoQ).

Certificate of deposits declined 26% YoY (+4.7% QoQ) to INR44.5b while interbank

deposits grew 26% YoY (+15.9% QoQ) to INR21.9b.

Other highlights: (1) LCR ratio increased to 195.0% (v/s 181.3% in 3QFY20), (2) In a

separate filing, FB’s board has decided to purchase an additional stake of up to 4% in

IDBI Federal Life Insurance, subject to regulatory approvals. If approved, the

additional 4% would increase FB’s stake in the life insurance company to 30%.

Valuation and view: FB has reported moderation in loan growth, reflecting a

challenging economic environment impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. We

expect overall loan growth over FY21 to get affected due to the ongoing

lockdown. The bank has NIL corporate watch-list and lower quantum of other

stressed assets. However, we expect credit cost to stay elevated due to COVID-

19 related provisioning even as the coverage ratio at 66.4% (including TWO)

remains healthy. FB is taking a cautious approach in building the loan mix

toward high-rated corporate and retail loans. The bank’s liability franchise

remains strong with CASA + Retail TD of 91% and one of the highest LCR

amongst banks. Maintain Buy with TP of INR75 (1x Sep’21E ABV).

Reeling under severe first-order impact of COVID-19 However, to recover with a lag

With India in midst of a lockdown owing to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) spread, we

interacted with hotel players and experts to get an understanding of the demand scenario

and measures deployed to reduce fixed cost. We have also performed scenario analysis in

this note. Key insights highlighted below:

Severe first-order impact of COVID-19 Given the various travel restrictions imposed by the Indian Government as well

as countries globally, the most visible and immediate impact of COVID-19 is seen

in the hospitality and tourism sector. Almost all segments/verticals – inbound,

outbound and domestic/leisure, adventure, heritage, MICE, cruise and

corporate – have been impacted.

Forward bookings for various conferences and leisure travel bookings to foreign

destinations have already been cancelled.

However, on a positive note, the 1H of the financial year is typically a lean

season (40-45% revenue contribution) for the hospitality industry. Thus, hotel

players would get ample time to prepare for the peak season and minimize

business loss by reducing fixed costs.

Even if the lockdown is lifted on 3rd May’20, the recovery in the hospitality

sector is expected to lag as corporate travel would pick up at a slow pace and

leisure travel would also get postponed until the situation normalizes. Note that

domestic travel demand would recover faster vis-à-vis foreign travel.

Additionally, lower Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs) in India would weigh on

occupancies as well as on the average room rate (ARR). Typically, foreign

customer mix for IHIN stands at 35-40% and for LEMONTRE at 10%.

According to our interaction with a hotel expert, travel demand would be under

pressure until a vaccine for COVID-19 is out and made available at affordable

rates.

Impact on 1QFY21 to be severe in comparison to 4QFY20 Performance in 4QFY20 was mixed. While Jan-Feb’20 recorded RevPAR growth,

Mar’20 witnessed an escalation in the spread of COVID-19.

Thus, March witnessed severe occupancy decline, which has dragged overall

4QFY20 performance across hotel players.

Assuming the lockdown continues into May’20, hotels would have had negligible

revenues for two consecutive months (Apr-May’20). RevPAR for Jun’20 too is

expected to decline significantly, which should lead to overall revenue decline of

>75% for 1QFY21. Further, fixed costs are also likely to lead to EBITDA losses

across major hotel players. Should the lockdown extend beyond May’20, hotel

players would be further impacted.

Large conferences and exhibitions generate demand for hotel rooms. These

would also be affected as large gatherings would be avoided for 4-6 months. As

a result, food and beverages (F&B) income would also get impacted.

Management contract income for brand owners would also remain under

pressure. This is because a major part of the management contract income is

linked to the operating profit of a hotel. Also, asset owners are high net worth

individuals/real estate developers; hence, the segment would be under pressure

due to the liquidity crisis.

Fixed cost rationalization need of the hour

Fixed cost accounts for 60-70% of the total costs for hotel players. With

occupancy severely impacted due to the current crisis, players have started

pruning fixed costs.

First-hand cost saving measures deployed by hotel players include termination

of contractual labor (accounting for 20-30% of the total employee mix),

requesting permanent employees to avail balance paid leave, pay cuts for

employees at senior levels, requesting 3-month waivers for annual maintenance

contracts (AMCs)/fees/charges for activities that are fixed in nature, postponing

negotiations for AMCs (usually due in March) and several other initiatives.

Hotel players are consolidating guests (in the same city) into one property,

which would aid in cost savings as only one hotel would be in operation.

Additionally, hotel players are trying to save on the lease rent cost by

negotiating with owners, invoking force majeure for hotel properties and

deferred partial lease rental (e.g. 50% in 2QFY21 and rest in 3QFY21).

Note that few fixed costs would be eliminated as significant portion of the hotel

property would not be under operation; for instance, complete shutdown of

hotel would save on power costs.

Thus, all of above would provide partial relief to hotel players.

Availability of credit lines in such trying times is of utmost importance for

survival in the near term.

Scenario analysis for IHIN and LEMONTRE

We have analyzed four scenarios, factoring in occupancy recovery for different

time periods (refer exhibit 1 & 2). Also, revenue, EBITDA, net debt, debt to

equity and target price have been shown under each case separately. We have

factored in base case assumption into our numbers for IHIN and LEMONTRE for

now. Estimates would be revised based on further clarity.

In the bull case, we have factored in occupancy recovery from 3QFY21 and

have shifted recovery by one quarter in our base, bear 1 and bear 2 scenarios.

Base case for IHIN: Modeled 15% occupancy for 1QFY21 and increased it to 40%

for 2QFY21; for subsequent quarters, it has been increased to 50% and 55%.

Thus, occupancy for FY21/FY22 stands at 42.5%/62%. Also, ARR decline of 10.5%

for FY21 and growth of 5% for FY22 has been factored in.

Base case for LEMONTRE: Recovery in occupancy is likely to be faster for

LEMONTRE as it operates in the mid-market segment. Thus, we have built in

45.5%/65% occupancy for FY21/FY22. Change in room inventory mix should

drive ARR growth of 9.5% for the LTP brand in FY21.

Additionally, hotel players are likely to defer their capex plan.

Valuation and view

The impact of COVID-19 would not be restricted to just 4QFY20/1QFY21; it

would have implications for the major part of FY21. Resumption in business

travel may take longer as corporates may cut down on travel spends, MICE

business would moderate as large gatherings would be avoided and leisure

travel would be deferred/canceled as a precautionary measure.

22 April 2020 11

Additionally, some business travel demand would also be lost as people

accustomed to video conferencing would now travel only when of utmost need.

However, in the current scenario, hotels are likely to witness demand for rooms

emerging from new segments like (a) hospitals tying up with hotel players to

keep its staff safe during a pandemic, (b) employees of IT companies residing at

hotels for running operations efficiently (markets like Hyderabad, Bangalore and

Pune are likely to benefit), (c) employees working in industrial area would prefer

hotels in the vicinity, (d) foreigners stuck in India due to the lockdown, and (e)

rooms being provided for quarantine purpose (according to the government’s

fixed rate).

We have adjusted our models factoring in the impact of COVID-19 into our

numbers. Accordingly, we have cut our revenue estimates by 47%/22% and

EBITDA estimates by 95%/40% for FY21/22E for IHIN. We have a Buy rating on

IHIN with SOTP-based TP of INR106.

We have cut our revenue estimates for LEMONTRE by 50%/32% and EBITDA

estimates by 73%/39% for FY21/22E. In our view, high debt remains a key

overhang for the stock. However, note that capex for all LEMONTRE’s own

hotels has already been completed, barring the Mumbai Airport hotel. We have

a Buy rating on the stock with TP of INR23.

Alcohol industry seeing volume decline after decades due to lockdown Regulatory challenges may add to sector’s woes

To understand the impact of the COVID-19 related lockdown on the alcohol industry, we hosted a conference call with Mr.

Deepak Roy, Executive Vice Chairman of Allied Blenders and Distillers (ABD). Key insights of our interaction with Mr. Roy

highlighted below:

In his view, industry volumes declined 3-4% in FY20 and are likely to decline 12-15% in FY21 due to the lockdown,

1QFY21 will be a near-complete washout due to the lockdown and supply chain challenges,

In case of cash liquidity, Indian players are worst-off vis-à-vis MNCs and some may find it difficult to survive,

Industry is exploring innovative solutions to resume business while maintaining social distancing but challenges exist,

and

Regulatory scenario may further stiffen for the sector as states may look for means to plug their revenue deficits.

Alcohol industry In FY19, liquor industry grew 6%. FY20 is the first year in three decades to see a volume decline. YTD Feb’20,

growth was ~2-3% led by the Premium segment, even as the bottom-end declined. However, overall volumes

have declined ~3-4% in FY20 due to the lockdown. Mar’20 accounted for 8% salience.

1QFY21 is expected to be a near-complete washout. April was a disaster and improvement in May looks highly

unlikely.

Supply chain is badly impacted with glass factories and other raw material manufacturers shut. This is the key

reason the situation is not expected to normalize in May. Industry should start normalizing by June-end.

Expect 12-15% volume decline in FY21. The period between October-March constitutes ~53-54% of annual

sales; this period is likely to be normal in FY21.

Some states are keen to restart liquor sales as they contribute significantly to state revenues.

The COVID-19 led social distancing would remain for the next 12-18 months. Therefore, innovative ways and

supplies are necessary in such tough times. The industry has recommended some measures to government,

such as (a) home deliveries – the logistics are yet to be worked out; to set up delivery would not be easy and

could take a few months, and (b) time adjustment at wine shops to ensure social distancing

State governments might increase duties on alcohol.

Cash flow is the biggest challenge, especially for Indian companies. Some companies might be unable to

survive due to the cash crunch.

Institutional (on-trade) segment contributes 18-20% of sales and was on the rise since the last 4-5 years.

However, it would be hit in the current scenario. No material sales are expected in the next 6-8 months due to

restaurants and pubs opening much later as compared to other businesses due to social distancing.

Weddings over the next few months would also be impacted.

Duty-free channel would be impacted globally as the travel industry is severely hit.

Premiumization

We do not expect any down-trading as the premium-end consumer is unlikely to be affected by the lockdown.

The Premium market is growing by 8% and the Scotch market grew 12% last year.

Deluxe and Regular (lower to middle-income consumers, including daily-wage earners) segments would be

seriously impacted.

Premium and Semi-Premium segments are largely dominated by Pernod, Diageo and ABD.

22 April 2020 13

Regulatory environment

We are not optimistic on the regulatory environment.

Every year excise duty is increased by an average 8-10%. If increase is more, especially in key states, volumes

could get impacted more than current expectations.

Expect regulatory environment in the medium-term to stiffen as states would want to control alcohol revenues

even more due to their deficits increasing amid the lockdown led economic slowdown.

Alcohol duties have been a key lever of revenue management for states.

Three states have already announced increase in duty.

States haven’t explored the possibility of shoring up their revenues by lowering taxes.

Due to alcohol being a politically sensitive subject, states are unable to scale down taxes due to the backlash

even if it leads to higher revenues.

Governments need to make timely payments as alcohol companies need cash to keep their supplies going. This

is necessary for continued tax generation for states also. Delay in payments is the biggest risk in the current

year.

Apparently, Andhra Pradesh government has not paid for ~5-6 months.

~75% of the industry across India is under government control. States where the control is relatively weaker are

also expected to see increased controls in the future.

Uttar Pradesh (UP) has seen revenues increase 3x in three years. UP has shown the way in managing the alcohol

industry to increase revenues but other states have not followed suit.

West Bengal has also done well. Haryana has shown decent amount of pragmatism. Punjab and Delhi are also

doing fine.

Maharashtra has the highest taxes, and hence, liquor industry is not growing as expected.

Telengana has managed the alcohol industry very well. However, there is a higher need for funds due to the

upcoming elections and for infrastructure spending. This could lead to higher duties on the alcohol sector as the

government might look to plug the deficit.

Allied Blenders ABD has some cash crunch and was planning to raise money in the next eight weeks. However, this has been

delayed due to the lockdown.

The company has seen strong success in ‘Sterling Reserve’, which is not yet launched across all markets.

EBITDA per case for Premium/Semi-Premium/Deluxe segments currently stands at INR600-800/INR500/INR300.

Competition Pernod is the market leader in the Prestige & Above (P&A) segment with Diageo trying to catch up, followed by

ABD. Same order is likely to continue over the next 3-4 years.

Radico Khaitan has done extremely well in the last 2 years. It is a cash positive company.

Some small players in North India are also doing well. If they manage their finances well, they can sail through.

Pernod and Diageo are well placed with liquidity. Smaller players would be significantly impacted due to cash

crunch.

Country liquor uses market bottles, and therefore, is unlikely to be as affected on the supply chain front.

However, country liquor segment would be severely affected on the demand side as consumers are daily-wage

earners.

Other points Consumer Behavior: When duty is increased, consumers do not stop consuming alcohol. However, they are

likely to down-trade, which continues for 3-6 months post the duty increase.

Beer industry: In FY21, the beer industry would be more impacted than spirits due to 40-45% salience of 1Q. RM inflation: Expected to be benign (ENA and glass). Glass availability is a problem but once that is sorted post

lockdown, costs are likely to decline. Fuel cost is a huge component of glass manufacturingand that is currently

down.

TCS: SOME RECOVERY CAN BE EXPECTED BY END CY20; Rajesh Gopinathan, MD and CEO One cannot operate in a world of 100 percent uncertainty. The reasonable

assumption is that while the peak impact will happen in this period [Q1 of the

current fiscal], believe that some amount of stability and recovery will be back

to where we left off in Q3 of FY20.

Company was at Rs 39,000 crore in December 2019 and we can get back to Rs

39,000 crore in December 2020 that could be the model that we are working

with.

There is a demand side impact that is coming because of a general lockdown of

economic activity, but the fact that there is no structural impact is something

that company believe is one of the positives in this current scenario which is

challenging itself.

So there will be cascading impacts from financial unwinding that is going on, but

governments and central banks have moved very fast and with massive stimulus

to try and backstop that financial impact.

LET’S MAKE THE MOST OF DIRT CHEAP OIL In a dramatic and unprecedented turn of events on Monday, crude oil began

trading in negative territory for the first time since records began. The price on a

futures contract for West Texas crude that was due to expire on 21 April crashed

to minus $37.63 a barrel. This is a direct result of the market mayhem caused by

covid-19, which has resulted in lockdowns around the world, brought

economies to a screeching halt, and crushed demand for transport fuel. Reports

say there is so much unused oil in the US that there is no space left to store

fresh supplies. Storage costs money. Thus, oil producers had to pay to offload

their stock. How did we get here? Thanks to the covid-19 pandemic, multiple

demand and supply shocks are wrecking economies across the globe and

bringing economic activity to a standstill. Assembly lines have halted, supply

chains have snapped, commodity prices have fallen, the services sector has

ground to a halt, financial markets are in panic, and the Great Lockdown has

depressed various other economic variables and pushed the world into a deep

recession. The sudden fall in oil prices is tied not just to a demand crunch, but

also tensions among the world’s major suppliers. Relatively high prices over

2019 had allowed non-traditional players like US shale oil companies to thrive.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Russia, the most influential members of OPEC+,

the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries that has allied with Russia on

and off since 2016, had been in competition to expand their market share.
