1 INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH Larsen & Toubro (LT IN) In line results; current orders momentum is a positive INDIA CAPITAL GOODS Quarterly Update Top takeaways from 4QFY18 Recurring PAT (Rs 31.8bn, flat yoy) was in line with our and consensus estimates as both revenues and EBITDA was on expected lines. Reported order inflows (Rs 496bn) grew 5% yoy. Importantly, ex services order inflows (Rs 420bn) grew by 2% yoy as domestic orders (85% of total) grew 5% while international orders declined 13% yoy. Working capital intensity increased modestly to 19.2% (vs. 18.6% yoy) of sales as L&T focused more on execution in FY18. Key highlights: Revenues at Rs 400bn (+9% yoy) were aided by domestic sales (+12% yoy) while growth in international revenues was subdued at 3% yoy. Execution in the infrastructure segment (58% of sales) was strong at 14% as headwinds impacting domestic projects abated, allowing a 25% yoy growth in domestic infrastructure sales. Other segments that supported revenues were heavy engineering (+14% yoy) driven by defence projects, Hydrocarbon (+38%) as revenue recognition on major Middle East projects kicked in, Financial Services (+23%), IT services (24%), and Developmental projects (21%) on part commissioning of the Hyderabad metro. Power ( 18% yoy) and E&A ( 2% yoy) were drags. EBITDA at Rs 51.3bn (+17% yoy) was in line with estimates as EBITDA margins at 12.8% expanded 80bps yoy. Turnaround in Financial Services essentially drove margins. Depreciation charge declined 32% yoy despite commissioning of the Hyderabad Metro. Interest expenses rose 40% yoy due to higher working capital debt and the Hyderabad Metro. Adjustments we have considered to arrive at recurring earnings in 4Q include Rs 4.7bn of real estate monetisation, Rs 2bn provision for Nabha power receivables, and Rs 1.5bn higher tax impact on levy of provisions related to Section 14A. Analyst meet takeaways L&T wrote off Rs 160bn of slow moving orders (6% of order book) from its order backlog. In Q2 and Q3 FY18, it removed Rs 138bn of projects from its orderbook. For FY19, it guided for 10 12% yoy in new orders, 12 15% revenue growth and +25bps Ex services EBITDA margin expansion. L&T s FY19 order inflow guidance expects 70% of its orders from the domestic market driven by government agencies (both State and Centre) and includes the impact of a potential slowdown in ordering in 4QFY19 due to general elections. It announced Rs 240bn of new orders in the last fortnight, already achieving 14% of its targeted order inflows for FY19. Outlook and valuation: L&T expects to achieve its strategic target of 18% ROE by FY21 (13.7% FY18) with volume growth in its core EPC business coupled with margin expansion and higher capacity utilization in its currently loss making ventures (particularly in ship building and forging). We do not doubt its ability to grow its revenues even beyond its estimate of 15% in the next two years, mainly because of its robust orderbook. However, we feel less confident on its ability to materially improve its margins in the core business from here because of continued competitive headwinds even in large complex projects, which were largely L&T s domain until now. 29 May 2018 Neutral (Maintain) CMP RS 1376/ TARGET RS 1390 (+1%) COMPANY DATA O/S SHARES (MN) : 1401 MARKET CAP (RSBN) : 1883 MARKET CAP (USDBN) : WK HI/LO (RS) : 1470 / 1108 LIQUIDITY 3M (USDMN) : 40.9 PAR VALUE (RS) : 2 SHARE HOLDING PATTERN, % Mar 18 Dec 17 Sep 17 FII / NRI : FI / MF : NON PRO : PUBLIC & OTHERS : KEY FINANCIALS Rs bn FY18 FY19E FY20E Net Sales 1, , ,575.5 EBIDTA Net Profit EPS, Rs PER, x EV/EBIDTA, x PBV, x ROE, % Debt/Equity (%) CHANGE IN ESTIMATES Revised Est. % Revision Rs bn FY19E FY20E FY19E FY20E Revenue 1, , % 1% EBITDA % 0% Core PAT % 2% EPS (Rs) % 2% Jonas Bhutta ( ) jbhutta@phillipcapital.in Vikram Rawat ( ) vrawat@phillipcapital.in We maintain our Neutral rating with largely unchanged estimates and an SOTP based target of Rs 1,390 as L&T trades at 20x FY20 for 15% earnings CAGR (FY18 20).
