1 JSW Steel Strong operational performance; forex loss drags bottomline PhillipCapital (India) Pvt. Ltd. METALS: Quarterly Update 30 October 2013 Exports and restocking demand helped JSW Steel report strong operational performance and beat estimates. Higher volumes were also aided by power & fuel cost savings driven by 55MW CPP at Dolvi. Improvement in iron ore availability from Karnataka and commissioning of the pellet plant and coke oven batteries at Dolvi will further drive the profitability for the company. The strong performance was impacted by higher forex losses during the quarter. We downgrade our FY14 and FY15 EPS by 3.6% and 11% respectively to Rs and Rs We retain our Neutral rating on the stock however lower our target price to Rs 792 to factor in higher than expected debt. Q2FY14 results highlights Standalone revenues stood at Rs113.1bn, 3.9% above estimates. Higher than expected sales volumes led to the estimate beat. Sales volumes for the quarter stood at 3.13mn tonnes, 4.9% above estimates. Higher exports (0.84mn tonnes) and restocking demand (inventory down by 0.293mn tonnes) boosted volumes during the quarter. Realisation for the quarter stood at Rs36,129 per tonne, 0.9% below estimates. Changing product mix with higher proportion of HRC compared to Q1FY14 saw the drop in realisations. Consolidated net revenues for the quarter stood at Rs128.0bn, 3.8% below estimates. Higher revenues in standalone business are more than offset by lower than expected revenues from subsidiaries. Standalone operating profit for the quarter stood at Rs 22.3bn, 10.5% above estimates. Higher volumes, lower power & fuel (benefit of 55MW power plant at Dolvi) cost partially offset by higher raw materials and other expenses (higher freight cost due to jump in exports). Standalone OP per tonne stood at Rs6,570, 3.2% above estimates. Consolidated operating profit stood at Rs23.5bn, 10.4% above estimates. JSW Steel Coated products reported an ebidta of Rs 780mn, 4.5% below estimates. Chilean operations reported an Ebidta of US$ 5.34mn, 147% above our estimates. This was offset by the operating loss of US$ 2mn in the US operations against our profit estimate of US$ 1.6mn. Consolidated Depreciation/ Interest for the quarter stood at Rs8.0/ 7.6bn, 5.9%/ 4.3% above estimates. Other income stood at Rs511mn, 160.5% above estimates. Dividend received from JSW Energy led to higher other income against estimates. Consolidated net loss stood at Rs1.2bn. It includes forex loss of Rs8.5bn against our expectation of Rs1.8bn. Adjusting forex loss, net profit stood at Rs7.4bn, 10.5% above estimates. Forex loss included MTM losses on unhedged acceptances (around 24% as on Sep 2013) and the loss on forward covers (US$1175mn) which were booked at around Rs during August The company does not expect any MTM losses going forward as the balance acceptances are hedged during October Valuations: At CMP of Rs 848, the stock trades at a P/E of 8.3x FY14E EPS of Rs & 7.0x FY15E EPS of Rs It trades at an Ev/Ebidta of 5.8x FY14E & 5.0x FY15E.
