BHEL (BHEL IN) Weak execution and margins lead to the miss in earnings

Transcription

1 INSTITUTIONAL EQUITY RESEARCH BHEL (BHEL IN) Weak execution and margins lead to the miss in earnings INDIA CAPITAL GOODS Quarterly Update 26 October 2018 Top takeaways from 2QFY19 BHEL s reported earnings (Rs 1.85bn; +60% yoy) were materially lower than our and consensus estimates. If we were to adjust for forex gains and reversal of prior period depreciation, the company in fact incurred a net loss, partly due to elevated provisions. Order inflows (Rs 51.6bn) were driven by Rs 29bn of orders in the power segment for emission control equipment. Order book at Rs 1.15tn (+19% yoy) stood at 3.9x book tobill of TTM sales. Working capital intensity increased further (NWC 233 vs. 174 days 4QFY18) with increase in receivables (481 vs. 448 days) and inventory (96 vs. 79 days). BHEL announced a buyback of 189.3mn shares accounting for 5.2% of outstanding capital at the price of Rs 86/share (23% premium to CMP) leading to a cash outgo of Rs 16.3bn. Key highlights: Revenues (Rs 68bn, +5% yoy) were marginally (3%/2%) below our/consensus due to muted power segment revenues (78% of sales, +2%) though supported by strong growth in industrial revenues (+32%) on a weak base. Reported EBITDA was up 41% yoy (Rs 2.4bn vs. Rs 1.7bn yoy) on 90bps yoy expansion in EBITDA margins (3.6% vs. 2.6% yoy). Margins were supported by gross margins (41.4% vs. 40.8%) even as employee costs were up 9% qoq. However, if we were to adjust for the forex gain of Rs 2.7bn, BHEL would have reported an EBITDA loss of Rs 332mn (vs. Rs 149mn yoy). Segmentally, operating profitability was supported by Industrial segment EBIT (Rs 696mn vs. Rs 18mn yoy) while Power EBIT declined 36% because of cost provisions. Conference call takeaways Changing sales mix in favour of SEB orders coupled with elongated payment terms and zero advances on certain orders should lead to an increase in working capital. SEBs account for 53% of receivables as of September 2018 against 37% in March 2018; the share of central utilities (29% vs. 37%) and private sector (13% vs. 15%) clients has reduced. The company hopes to offset this pressure on cash flows by imputing a higher margin at the time of bidding. BHEL is well placed in Rs 250bn of orders across power (Rs 205bn), industrial (Rs 15bn), international (Rs 20bn), and spares and services (Rs 15bn). These orders include Talcher TPP (1.3GW), Sagardighi (660MW), Adilabad (800MW), emission control equipment (more than Rs 30bn), and a project in Tanzania. In addition, the management expects to submit bids for 5.7GW of projects. Outlook and valuation With healthy share of executable orders, visibility on FY19 20 revenues has materially improved, though visibility on margins is still hazy. However, we cut our FY19/20 earnings estimates by 7%/4% to factor in impact higher working capital cycle and share buyback. We revise our target price to Rs 65 (Rs 80 earlier) based on 12x FY20 PE. We maintain our Neutral rating, as we find it difficult to justify current valuations (13x FY20 PE) for single digit RoEs and no material business diversification and stretched working capital.
