The company reported a net operating income of 13894.8 crore for the quarter (higher by 7% YoY) in line with our estimate of 13564.2 crore The EBITDA margin for the quarter came in at 20.1%, up 38 bps QoQ and 200 bps YoY and better than our estimate of 19.4% The EBITDA came in at 2791.2 crore (up 18.9% YoY) above our estimate of 2628.3 crore. On a standalone basis, the company clocked an EBITDA/tonne of 8534/tonne (I-direct estimate: 8000/tonne) Consequent PAT was at 748.8 crore, better than our estimate: 662.0 crore Sales volumes outweigh subdued domestic demand The steel sector is facing headwinds in the form of a muted demand scenario both domestically and globally. Domestic steel demand has been stagnant with mere 0.6% consumption growth in FY14 and 0.3% during the first five months of FY15. In the current challenging times, JSW Steel has been able to report sales volume growth of 4% in FY14 (adjusting for merger with JSW Ispat) indicating an increase in its domestic market share (11.9 MT in FY14 vis-à-vis 11.4 MT in FY13). In H1FY15, JSW Steel reported sales volume of 5.94 MT, up 5.0% YoY. Healthy EBITDA/tonne on product mix, cost optimisation JSW Steel Vijayanagar s steel unit is one of the low cost convertors globally. The company does not have access to any captive operational iron ore and coking coal mine in India. However, despite its dependency on external sources for its key raw materials, JSW Steel was able to report healthy EBITDA/tonne due to economies of scale, cost optimisation and healthy realisations (due to superior product mix). The company also has a notable presence in the value-added products category, thereby having a large and diversified customer base with enhanced profitability. On a sustainable basis, JSW Steel clocks an EBITDA/tonne of ~ 8000-8500/tonne, notably higher than its peers like SAIL, which clocks an EBITDA/tonne of ~ 4000 only despite having access to captive iron ore. Elevated debt levels remains area of concern Post the merger with Ispat Industries, the debt level of JSW Steel has increased significantly. On a consolidated basis, the net gearing stood at 1.56x at the end of Q2FY15 while net debt to EBITDA on a consolidated basis stood at 3.46x. Healthy operational performance We expect JSW Steel to report a healthy set of numbers, going forward, on account of cost savings on declining coking coal prices and benefits on account of commissioning of the Dolvi pellet plant and coke oven plant along with enhancement of margins led by value-added products as utilisation at the CRM mill is progressively increasing. Going forward, we also expect an improved performance from subsidiaries. We have valued the stock at 6x FY16E EV/EBITDA and arrived at a target price of 1250. We have assigned a HOLD recommendation to the stock. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research
