1 RESULT PREVIEW ENGINEERING & CAPITAL GOODS Growth likely to perk up in H2 India Equity Research Engineering and Capital Goods We expect our industrial coverage universe s execution to ramp up in Q3FY18, leading to 11% YoY revenue growth (modest 7% growth in Q2). Announced order flows indicate sustenance of public sector spending momentum in railways, T&D, defence, public civil infra, etc. While private sector revival is still months away, we will look out for signs of revival in specific pockets. We expect revenue/profitability to ramp up in H2FY18 post absorption of GST/demonetisation impact. Despite valuations running up significantly, we reiterate our confidence in industry leaders armed with strong competitive moat and execution capabilities. Our top picks are Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Cummins India (KKC), Engineers India (EIL), Kalpataru Power (KPP), and Bharat Electronics (BEL). Key highlights of the sector during the quarter The sector s order intake is estimated to jump a robust 22% YoY. While L&T s order flow could revive post guidance cut in Q2, large order inflow is likely to be driven by BHEL s win of Udangudi and robust T&D, railway ordering for KPP & KEC. In the T&D space, while PGCIL s tendering (ex-hvdc) dipped 20% YoY in Q3FY18, robust order flows have been reported from the international geography. Stability post demonetisation & GST disruption and rising order backlog are likely to drive 11% YoY revenue growth on a favourable base. Result expectations for stocks under coverage We estimate 11% YoY revenue growth predominantly on a strong order book. Our coverage universe s margin is likely to remain flat at ~10.7% on higher commodity prices. Domestic automotive and exports are likely to drive growth in higher teens for forging companies. Apart from the INR73bn Udangudi order win by BHEL, international T&D and railways are envisaged to drive order inflow. Overall, we estimate 22% YoY jump in order inflows for our coverage universe, leading to 6% YoY spurt in order book. Outlook over the next 12 months While valuations of most companies under coverage have run up significantly, we believe there is scope for further re-rating in a few pockets with improving revenue visibility and companies addressing their specific issues. Key monitorables include commentary and signs of revival in private capex. Our approach continues to be bottoms-up rather than play on the cycle. Top picks L&T, Cummins India, Engineers India, Kalpataru Power, and Bharat Electronics.

3 Our Top Picks - Larsen & Toubro: Significant cyclical recovery in the offing Q2FY18: Result Preview L&T reported EBITDA and PAT beat of 16% and 43%, respectively, riding compensatory tariff relief on Nabha Power and lower tax. Back-ended project awards in domestic infra led to weak order intake in H1FY18 (down ~14% YoY, excluding services). Consequently, order intake guidance cut from 12% to flattish despite strong INR200bn L1 status. Key things to watch for in Q3FY18: Actual order inflow stood at INR349bn in Q3FY17 (announced order inflow of INR148bn). L&T has announced orders worth INR315bn in Q3FY18 and INR50bn post January 1, 2018 till date. Working capital and OPMs levels. Our conviction: L&T has sustained focus on balance sheet and profitability, reflected in stable NWC and better OPMs. Potential for balance sheet improvement with exit from non-core businesses. Cummins India: High RoE expansion potential in industrials Q2FY18: Slowdown in low KVA gensets in the international market and GST-led disruption in the domestic market led to revenue declining 10% in Q2FY17. Management had revised down export market outlook from 0-5% decline to 5-10% dip. Key things to watch for in Q3FY18: Recoup of lost revenue post KKC customers getting acquainted with the new GST regime. Outlook on the export market, in Low and High HP segments. Our conviction: KKC s sustained domestic positioning in large engines market (power gen), effective cost initiatives and high growth in industrial BU, coupled with its capex-ready status, augurs well for RoE/free cash. Engineers India: Oil n Gas capex momentum to sustain Q2FY18: EIL reported in line performance with consultancy business maintaining 20% plus growth for third consecutive quarter. The company bagged HPCL Bhatinda refinery order (~INR10bn) and additional PMC work for the Dangote refinery. 3 Edelweiss Securities Limited

4 Engineering and Capital Goods Key things to watch for in Q3FY18: Status of ordering for the Barmer project. Update on mega refinery and upcoming petrochem projects. Our conviction: We envisage surging oil & gas capex to drive a much longer and larger capex cycle than all previous cycles with more than ~INR50bn worth of consultancy awards over months. Clarity on mega refinery / petrochem integration orders to drive next leg of order inflow. Kalpataru Power: Re-rating to continue Q2FY18: KPP, grappling with GST implementation, posted mere 5% growth in H1. However, management remained confident of 15% growth in FY18, implying 25% spurt in H2. Margins remained healthy at 11%, implying that railways and pipeline businesses margins have now converged with T&D margin. Key things to watch for in Q3FY18: KPP has announced orders worth INR19bn in Q3 (up 130% YoY), post tepid ordering in H1 (down 13% YoY). Actual order inflows and L1 position to be key. Performance of JMC and Shubham Logistics, apart from continued momentum in railway business. Our conviction: Improved management focus to tap emerging opportunities in T&D and railway segments. Potential value unlocking from sale of real estate projects, road assets and SSL, which could spur further rerating. Bharat Electronics: Competitive MOAT intact Q2FY18: BEL sustained its execution and OPM beat trend for third consecutive quarter with revenue and EBITDA surpassing Street s estimates 21% and 103%, respectively. Key things to watch for in Q3FY18: Order intake and status of LR-SAM and Akash missiles. Our conviction: BHE has moved up the defence value chain and emerged a complete system integrator. This, coupled with increasing R&D spend, is envisaged to help BHE enhance share in core products helping sustain OPM over ensuing years. INR700bn worth of projects to be awarded over the next 3-4 years, with more than 40% from surface to air missiles. 4 Edelweiss Securities Limited

Margins to remain healthy at 10.7%. Capital allocation and improvement in Shubham performance to remain the key monitorable. We expect 11% YoY growth in revenues largely driven by infra segment. Key monitorables include - working capital, asset monetisation plans and order inflows. We expect revenue growth of 7% YoY and flat margins at 10% for 3QFY18. Pickup in exports to sustain in Q3FY18 with the improved demand for Class 8 trucks in the NAFTA market, we thus expect revenue growth of ~17% in Q3FY18. Margins likely to improve bps YoY to ~20%. 5 Edelweiss Securities Limited
