We estimate the company to continue to receive orders across segments with the order book growing at 20% CAGR with orders primarily coming from the Navy and Coast Guard. The company is also ramping up its capacity with a third dry-dock and an international ship-repair center. We are positive on the company for 1) Recurring orders from Navy and Coast guard and 2) Improvement in the prospects of commercial shipbuilding segment. High margin ship-repairs business is value additive for the company. Expect prospects to improve for the company going forward especially with the Make in India initiative of GOI.

Healthy order book to grow at 20% CAGR COSH has a diversified order book at Rs 83 bn which we expect to grow at 20% perennially with orders coming from Navy, Coast guard, commercial segment and ship repair segment. The ever increasing order book provide long term revenue visibility. The company recently emerged L1 for an order worth Rs 54 bn for 16 Anti-Submarine Warfare- Shallow water vessel from the Indian navy to be executed over the next 5 years. Defence to provide growth impetus COSH is one of the yards empanelled with the Indian Navy and the coast guard for orders. With the defence budget of the Navy on an increasing trend, we believe that the Navy and coast guard would continue to be a regular source of orders for the company. Improving prospects of the commercial segment is positive for the company The shipbuilding industry is linked to the growth of the shipping companies fortunes, which in turn depends on global economic growth and World trade. With the recent upturn in economic growth in India and globally and a subsequent improvement in freight prices across all categories, the performance of the shipping industry is expected to improve, which bodes well for shipbuilding companies including COSH for orders from the commercial segment. Expanding capacity to meet growing needs COSH currently has two docks dock number one, primarily used for ship repair (Ship Repair Dock) and dock number two, primarily used for shipbuilding (Shipbuilding Dock). The Ship Repair Dock is one of the largest in India and is capable of accommodating vessels with a maximum capacity of 125,000 DWT. While the Shipbuilding Dock can accommodate vessels with a maximum capacity of 110,000 DWT. The company has raised Rs 9.8 bn through fresh issue of shares leading to 17% dilution. The money would be used to build a third dry-dock and an international ship-repair center which would cater to the future shipbuilding and ship-repair demand.

Effective cost management Internal cost control systems, fully depreciated assets, negative working capital, cost escalation clause with customers, long term contracts with suppliers and efficient technology has and would continue to enable the company to keep cost under control and deliver healthy margins and earnings growth. We initiate coverage with BUY recommendation on Cochin Shipyard Ltd with a price target of Rs.740 Valuation The company has very strong growth prospects going forward with regular flow of orders from the navy and the coast guard and improving commercial shipbuilding sector. We can also expect orders from the offshore segment with increasing crude prices. High margin ship-repairs business is value additive for the company. Estimate 13% earnings CAGR over FY17 to FY20E with improvement in return ratios post full utilization of IPO money. Initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating and a TP of Rs 740 at 25x FY19E earnings. The target multiple of 25x FY19E is at steep discount to forward P/E of Korean and Singapore shipyards having poor earnings profile and which are much larger in scale and which cater primarily to commercial segment. Risk and Concerns Delay in execution of large orders Fall in Crude oil price could impact the E&P capex cycle and result in reduced demand for offshore vessels. Declining premium in prices of second hand vessels over new ones increases risk towards order inflows. Delay in payment from stressed ship-owners leading to higher working capital requirement.

INVESTMENT ARGUMENTS COSH present across all segments of shipbuilding Diversified offering Over years COSH has built and delivered vessels across broad classifications including bulk carriers, tankers, Platform Supply Vessels (PSV), Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTSs), launch barges, tugs, passenger vessels and Fast Patrol Vessels (FPV). To elaborate, COSH has clients in the defence sector in India and has clients engaged in the commercial sector worldwide. The diversified offering has enabled the company to beat the cyclicality of the ship-building business. Break-up of revenues for the last five years for COSH Segment (%) Defence revenue Commercial revenue Shipbuilding 69.44 12.68 Ship repair 10.42 6.94 Other operating revenue 0.48 0.04 Source: Company Current order book Vessel Client Area No s Anti Submarine vessel (L1 bidder) Indian Navy Defence 16 Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Indian Navy Defence 1 Fast Patrol Vessel Indian Coast Guard Defence 4 Jacket Launch Barge NPCC, Abu Dhabi Commercial 1 Double Ended Ro-Ro Ferry Corporation of Cochin Commercial 2 Technology Demonstration Vessel DRDO Defence 1 500 Pax cum 150 Ton Cargo Vessel A&N Administration Commercial 2 1200 Pax cum 1000 Ton Cargo Vessel A&N Administration Commercial 2 Source: Company COSH currently has a shipbuilding order book of Rs 83 bn (including L1 bid of Rs 54 bn from the Indian Navy). The contracts that the company enters into with clients stipulate the agreed specifications of the vessel and certification society with which the vessel is intended to be certified. Typically, COSH is permitted to subcontract any portion of the construction work of the vessel to subcontractors, other than few major sub-contract tasks such as the main hull structure and superstructures for which the company require the prior approval of the client. The company recently emerged as a L1 bidder for an order worth Rs 54 bn for 16 Anti-Submarine Warfare- Shallow water vessel from the Indian navy to be executed over the next 5 years. Defense is a big opportunity for COSH India's growing defense expenditure presents a huge opportunity India is set to spend ~Rs 600 bn over the next five years on improving its military infrastructure and of which a large part would be allocated to the Navy. Due to the 'Buy Indian, Make Indian' policy put in place by the MOD, a large part of this sum will go to domestic companies. Even in case of imports, there is an offset clause that benefits domestic companies. For any defense contract for capital purchases of over USD 60 mn (Rs3bn), the foreign vendor is required to allocate 30% of the contract value to Indian players, primarily in the defense, internal security and civil aerospace sectors. According to the Ministry of Defense (MOD), there could be an offset opportunity of USD 15 bn over the next five years.

Share from the annual budget for COSH The Government has 4 dedicated Shipyards - Mazgaon, Garden Reach, Goa and Cochin. The requirement of Navy & Coast Guard is split amongst the 4, leaving only the spill over, if any, to non defence shipyards. It is due to this reason, we believe that the COSH would one of the companies which would benefit from regular flow of orders from the Government, especially smaller ships. We estimate the company to regularly receive orders from the Navy and the Coast guard which is a big positive for the company.

We see the current levels of shipping market to be the bottom of cycle with improvement expected over the next two financial years. The improvement should translate into improvement in ordering in the commercial segment which is positive for commercial shipbuilding companies including COSH. Broadly, we expect order-book of COSH to grow at 20% CAGR with regular flow of orders coming from the Navy and Coast guard and improving contribution from the commercial segment and ship repair segment. The ever increasing order book provide long term revenue visibility for the company. Strong collaborations ensure quality execution Collaborations and MOUs COSH has formed successful business partnerships with leading technology players in the area of shipbuilding and ship-repair. These collaborations help the company with additional business and ensure quality of the products manufactured by the company.

Competition waning from private yards in India Shipbuilding business is a very competitive business and COSH consistently face competition from existing competitors located both in India and globally, and in particular from shipyards in China, South Korea and Japan. The competition covers areas like 1) Timeliness of order execution: 2) Fulfillment of all contractual covenants: and 3) Price and quality of the vessels constructed In the last 3 years we have observed that, two big private shipyards ABG and Bharati- going bankrupt due to unplanned expansion, huge debt and poor shipbuilding market eliminating significant competition for COSH from the private sector. Domestic competitors for Cochin Shipyard Defence Mazgaon Dock Goa Shipyard Limited Garden Reach Shipbuilders L&T Shipyard Reliance Defence Source: Industry Commercial L&T Shipyard ABG Bharati Reliance Defence Outlook remains strong for COSH Commercial segment - The shipbuilding industry is linked to the growth of the shipping companies fortunes, which in turn depends on global economic growth and World trade. With the recent upturn in trade and a subsequent improvement in freight prices across all categories, the performance of the shipping industry is expected to improve, which bodes well for shipbuilding companies including COSH for orders from the commercial segment. Outlook for shipbuilding is very strong in all the segments Defence segment - COSH is one of the yards empanelled with the Indian Navy for order flow form the Navy & Coast Guard. With the defence budget of the Navy on an increasing trend, we believe that the Navy and coast guard would continue to be a regular source of orders for the company. Offshore segment - Indian shipbuilders also have proven capabilities in construction of ships for the offshore segment and have a market share of around 6% in the deliveries made in the past few years. We see this as another source of orders for COSH despite low oil prices. Ship-repair Ship-repair is a high margin business with high capital turnover ratio. The management of the company indicated that the company was not able to accept many orders in this segment due to severe capacity constraints. The upcoming international ship-repair center is expected to fill this gap and give a fillip to operating margins and return ratios of the company going forward.

The company currently enjoys cost advantage given the fullydepreciated facility. The company would be ramping up its capacity with a third dry-dock (measuring 310 x 75 x 13 Meters) and an international ship-repair center. The capacity addition will enable the company to construct bigger and complex vessels as well as undertake repairs of vessels like LNG carriers, semi-submersibles, jack up rigs, and drill ships.
