2QFY211 Result Update Base Metals October 27, 21 Sterlite Industries Performance Highlights Particulars (` cr) 2QFY211 2QFY21 % chg (yoy) 1QFY211 % chg (qoq) Net sales 6,29 6,85 (.9) 5,925 1.8 EBITDA 1,474 1,322 11.5 1,452 1.5 EBITDA margin (%) 24.4 21.7 272bp 24.5 (6bp) Net profit 1,8 959 5.1 1,8 (.) Sterlite s 2QFY211 consolidated net revenue came in at `6,29cr, in line with our estimates of `5,863cr. However, net profit at `1,8cr was marginally lower than our estimates of `1,65cr. No major surprises, results largely in line: Sterlite reported flat top-line growth, as the positive impact of higher zinc-lead sales and increased realisations was negated by lower copper cathode production and power tariff. Sterlite sold 414mn units of merchant power (higher by 23.4% yoy), but power tariff was down by 15.4% yoy to `3.4/unit. On account of higher LME prices, EBITDA margin during the quarter grew by 272bp yoy to 24.4% despite cost increases witnessed in a) the zinc-lead segment (+21.1% yoy at US $977/tonne due to higher met coke, coal and stripping costs), b) the aluminium segment (+16% yoy at US $1,748/tonne due to alumina and coal costs) and c) lower TC/RC margins (down 18% to USc 11.8/lb). Consequently, EBITDA grew by 11.5% to `1,474cr. While other income grew by 76.6% yoy to `578cr, depreciation expenses grew by 22.5% yoy to `212cr. Further, Vedanta Aluminium (VAL) posted loss of `24.7cr in 2QFY211 v/s profit of `86.3cr in 2QFY21, leading to mere 5.1% yoy net profit growth to `1,8cr. Outlook and valuation: Sterlite is currently trading at 7.3x FY211E and 4.6x FY212E EV/EBITDA. We believe the company is well placed to capitalise on strong metal demand through its expansion plans in the zinc-lead segment, higher merchant power and silver sales. Moreover, the settlement of the Balco and Hindustan Zinc (HZL) call option could provide a further upside to our target price. However, we keenly wait for the revised capex plans of the company and the outcome of the ongoing Tuticorin s litigation. We maintain Accumulate on the stock with an SOTP-based Target Price of `196.

Key conference call takeaways Balco buyout in its last leg Management indicated that Balco s arbitration process is over and the final award from the arbitration panel is expected by November 21. Investment in VAL Management indicated that the total investment in VAL till date has been `26,7cr, of which `13,5cr is through external loan. Sterlite has contributed `6,2cr and the balance amount is provided by Vedanta Resources. Deferment of capex plans Gives an opportunity to sell power on merchant basis Sterlite has temporarily deferred its aluminium expansion at Jharsuguda, expansion of the Lanjigarh alumina refinery at VAL and Balco s aluminium expansion for the next 12 24 months. As a result, the total capex deferred is US $1.5bn and management indicated that it is reworking on its capex plans. However, the deferment of capex plans will allow the company to sell power in the spot market. The commissioning of the first 3MW unit of the 1,2MW power plant at Balco is expected by March 211. Sterlite Energy s (SEL) 2,4MW power project SEL s first 6MW unit of the 2,4MW plant was synchronised in August 21 and is expected to start commercial production in 3QFY211E. The second unit of 6MW is expected to come on stream by 4QFY211E. Talwandi Sabo project During the quarter, Sterlite received an approval from Punjab Government for setting up another 66MW power plant in addition to the ongoing Talwandi Sabo project of 1,98MW (3x66MW). Management expects to sell 85% of power from this unit in the spot market. Tuticorin s copper operations In September 21, Sterlite s copper business at Tuticorin was asked to shut down by Madras High Court for violating environmental laws and causing pollution. However, the Supreme Court has extended the stay on the Madras High Court s order and the next hearing is likely to take place in mid-december. The captive power plant at Tuticorin is expected to be commissioned in 4QFY212E. While the MoEF clearance is received for the 4kt copper smelter expansion, the project is being rescheduled as the consent from the State Pollution Control Board is awaited. October 27, 21 3
2QFY211 result highlights Sterlite s consolidated net revenue came in flat at `6,29cr, as the positive impact of higher zinc-lead sales and increased realisations was negated by lower copper cathode production and power tariff. The company sold 414mn units (336mn units in 2QFY21) of merchant power during the quarter (higher by 23.4% yoy), but power tariff was down 15.4% yoy to `3.4/unit (`4.1/unit in 2QFY21). As a result, revenue from the power segment grew by mere 4.2% yoy to `143cr. On account of higher LME prices, EBITDA margin expanded by 272bp yoy to 24.4% despite cost increases witnessed in a) the zinc-lead segment (+21.1% yoy at US $977/tonne due to met coke, coal and stripping costs), b) the aluminium segment (+16% yoy at US $1,748 due to alumina and coal costs) and c) an 18% decline in TC/RC margins to USc 11.8/lb (USc 14.3/lb). Consequently, EBITDA grew by 11.5% to `1,474cr. While other income grew by 76.6% yoy to `578cr, depreciation expenses increased by 22.5% yoy to `212cr. Moreover, VAL reported a loss of `24.7cr in 2QFY211 v/s profit of `86.3cr in 2QFY21, which led to net profit growing by mere 5.1% yoy to `1,8cr. Segmental performance Copper segment affected by lower production During 2QFY211, copper cathode production was down by 25.8% yoy at 68, tonnes due to a planned maintenance shutdown at Tuticorin smelter. Mined metal from the Australian mine was 7,22 tonnes during the quarter. As a result, copper revenue declined by 15.3% yoy to `2,97cr despite LME prices increasing by 25.3% yoy. Moreover, higher acid realisations partly negated the impact of lower TC/RC margin, which declined to USc 11.8/lb (USc 14.3/lb). Consequently, EBIT margin improved to 5.4% as compared to 5.% in 2QFY21.

Strong performance from the aluminium segment Balco s aluminium production was flat at 65, tonnes during the quarter, whereas production at VAL was up by 74.5% at 97, tonnes. The aluminium segment s revenue grew by 14.1% yoy to `718cr. Despite higher alumina and coal costs at Balco, EBIT margin increased to 17.5% in 2QFY211 as compared to 11.% in 2QFY21 on account of higher LME prices. Consequently, the aluminium segment s EBIT increased by 82.% yoy to `126cr.

During the quarter, the company s silver sales grew by 8.6% to 44,kg. However, EBIT margin fell to 46.7% yoy as compared to 56.1% on account of higher met coke, coal and stripping costs.

Investment rationale Zinc-lead expansion and power to aid growth: The 1ktpa lead smelter at Rajpura Dariba is expected to be commissioned by 3QFY211E. We believe the company is well poised to capitalise on strong metal demand as it expands its zinc-lead capacity to 1.1mn tonnes and silver capacity to 5ktpa. Although, the company has deferred its aluminium expansion, we believe it will benefit from increased merchant power sale from Balco and SEL, benefits of which are likely to be witnessed in FY212E. Balco and HZL minority stake buyout: Sterlite has been in the process of buying the minority stake in Balco and HZL. As indicated by management, Balco s arbitration is over and we believe the buyout process is likely to be completed by March 211. Moreover, management indicated that once Balco s case is settled, then HZL s case is likely to get decided along the lines of Balco. We believe any positive development on this front would provide further upside to our target price. Valuation Sterlite is currently trading at 7.3x and 4.6x FY211E and FY212E EV/EBITDA, respectively. We have revised our FY211E and FY212E estimates to factor in higher prices at LME, lower sales volume from capex deferment, higher zinc sales volume and other book-keeping changes. We maintain Accumulate on the stock with an SOTP-based Target Price of `196.
