Number of Shares per Lot 12 As of FY17, the company had 31 types of aircraft/helicopters in its Application Money Rs. 14,880 per Lot product portfolio. Out of which 17 have been indigenously designed. Over 90% of the revenue is derived from executing the Indian Employee and Retail Rs. 25 on the Offer Price defence orders and 3% from exports. Discount The company is currently manufacturing Su-30 MkI, Hawk, Dornier, Analyst Advanced light helicopter, Cheetal, Light combat aircraft Tejas and Rajnath Yadav related engines and accessories. The company is also provides repair & overhaul services for various aircraft and helicopters including Research Analyst (022-6707 9999; Ext: 912) related engines and accessories being operated by the customer. Email: rajnath.yadav@choiceindia.com As of 31 st Dec. 2017, HAL had an order book was Rs. 684.6mn, which generally includes products and services to be manufactured and delivered and excludes anticipated revenues from its joint ventures and subsidiaries. Around 10% of the order book is from services and rest is the aircraft order book. The average project execution time is around 18-36 months. With reference to FY17 revenue, this order book provides cash flow certainty for the next 3-4 years. Upon the initial operational clearance in 2013, the company manufactured two LCA Tejas which was accepted by the Indian Air Force. The government is expecting huge demand of the LCH Tejas (both Mark 1 and upgraded version Mark 2) from domestic as well as from the overseas market. Currently, HAL has an order book of 40 Tejas Mark-1. The government has recently issued request of proposal to HAL for the procurement of additional 83 Tejas at a cost of around Rs. 500bn. Presently, the company has a capacity to manufacture eight Tejas aircraft per annum. Anticipating higher demand, it is planning to increase the manufacturing capacity to 16 per annum. By FY18 end, the management is confident of delivering 5-6 Tejas aircrafts. Anticipating huge gap in its product portfolio and the future growth potential in the civil (passenger / transport) aircrafts, the company diversified into civil segment with Dornier Do-228 civil aircraft, which is suitable for the short-haul range inline with the regional connectivity scheme UDAN of the government. Indian civil aviation sector is among the fastest growing market and is expected to become the third largest by 2020 and largest by 2030. Thus this provides huge growth potential for the HAL in the civil aircraft market. HAL is debt free and as of FY17 end, it had a cash & cash equivalent of Rs. 111.5bn. However due to share buyback process in Nov. 2017, the cash position might have declined to Rs. 102.3bn, i.e. Rs. 306 per share (24.7% of the demanded MCAP). On valuation front, at higher price band, the company is demanding a P/E valuation of 15.8x (to its restated FY17 EPS of Rs. 78.5) as compared to peer average of 21x. With respect to its FY18E and FY19E earnings of Rs. 84 and 91.1 per share, respectively, it is demanding a P/E valuation of 14.8x and 13.6x, respectively, as compared to peer average of 21.1x and 18x. The issue seems to be attractive in terms of valuation, amid concerns relating to long gestation period of the defence projects and stringent regulations. Thus considering the above observations, investors can SUBSCRIBE for the issue with mid-long term investment perspective. 1

Company Introduction: HAL have been conferred with the "Navratna" status by the GoI in Jun. 2007 and is the largest DPSU in terms of value of production. According to Flight International, it is the 39 th largest aerospace company in the world in terms of revenue in 2016. The company is engaged in the design, development, manufacture, repair, overhaul, upgrade and servicing of a wide range of products including, aircraft, helicopters, aero-engines, avionics, accessories and aerospace structures. HAL s operations is organized into five complexes, namely the Bangalore complex, MiG complex, Helicopter complex, Accessories complex and Design complex, which together include 20 production divisions and 11 research and design centers located across India. It relies on indigenous research as well as enter into technology transfer and licence agreements to manufacture the products. Additionally, it has entered into 13 commercial joint ventures to grow its operations. Presently, HAL manufactures a wide range of products for military and civil use, including aircraft, helicopters, engines, avionics and other accessories. It also provides product servicing, repair, overhaul and upgrade services to its customers. Aircrafts that it presently manufacture include the Sukhoi Su-30 MKI, Dornier 228 and LCA Tejas. HAL also manufactures the Cheetal and LCH helicopters as well as variants of the Dhruv helicopter. In addition, the company manufactures engines, avionics and other accessories which are used in the assembly, servicing, repair and overhaul of its aircraft and helicopters. Its primary customers are the Indian Defence Forces, namely, the Indian Air Force, Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard. Further, in India, it sells its products and provide services to central and state governments, para-military forces and corporates. The company also exports its products and services, primarily spares. Sales to the Indian Defence Services accounted for 91.4%, 93.3%, 94.2% and 92.6% of its total sales in H1 FY18, FY17, FY16 and FY15, respectively. During H1 FY18, FY17 and FY16 exports of products and services accounted for 3.0%, 2.6% and 2.7%, of the company s revenue from operations (net of excise duty) respectively. The company has a sustained track record of profitability and have paid dividends to its stakeholders every year for over four decades. As of 31 st Dec. 2017, HAL s order book stood at Rs. 684,610mn which generally includes products and services to be manufactured and delivered and excludes anticipated revenues from its joint ventures and subsidiaries. Competition: HAL s broad portfolio of products and services competes primarily with the products and services of foreign aerospace and defence companies, some of whom may be larger than it. The company often works with companies that are also its competitors, to provide customers with the best mix of capabilities to address specific requirements. The engineering and aircraft manufacturing industry globally is highly competitive. Its primary competitors in aircraft and helicopter manufacturing segment operations are companies such as Lockheed Martin, Saab, Airbus Helicopters, Bell Helicopters, Leonardo, Boeing, BAE Systems and UGMK (LET Kunovice Aircraft Industries). The company also manufactures aero-engines for its licence built aircraft and helicopters. These engines are built under licence from foreign engine OEMs. Hence, the company does not believes it face any substantial competition in this segment. Presently HAL is working on the HTFE-25 and HTSE-1200 engines of its own design. In the future, these two engines will face competition from established foreign OEMs in the aircraft and helicopter engine manufacturing segment such as Snecma, Safran Helicopter Engines, LHTEC, Pratt and Whitney, Rolls Royce, Honeywell and certain Russian manufacturers. As India's largest aerospace company, in terms of revenue, HAL believes that its experience in manufacturing products and providing customized services to its clients, industry expertise and customer relationships enable it to be a preferred equipment and services provider for the customers in India. With the change in regulations and participation of private enterprises and if the international competition becomes more intense in any of its business lines, the company may experience more pressure on its profitability. HAL s ability to maintain or further increase its revenue and profitability and market share will largely depend on its ability to achieve cost-savings and ability to differentiate itself from the competitors in terms of the quality, service and reputation of the products. The competition for foreign sales is subject to additional Government stipulations (e.g. export restrictions). International competition also may be subject to different laws or contracting practices of other governments that may affect how it structures its bid for the procurement. In many international procurements, the bilateral relationship between a purchasing country and India is an important factor in determining the outcome of a bid. 3

Company Introduction (Contd ): Financial performance: On the back of 31.9% CAGR rise in the business from the sales of services over FY15-17, HAL reported a 8.9% CAGR rise in consolidated operating revenue to Rs. 185,549mn in FY17. Business from the sales of the products, which formed around 75% of the consolidated revenue increased by just 0.8% CAGR over FY15-17. For the half year ended Sept. 2017, top-line stood at Rs. 52,770mn. Total operating expenses increased at 1.7% CAGR, a rate lower as compared to top-line. Operating expenditure as a percent of top-line stood at 82.5% in FY17 as compared to 94.6% in FY15. This was primarily driven by lower cost of material consumed, which as a percent of top-line declined to 45.3% in FY17 as compared to 50.3% in FY15. Employee benefit expenses as a percent of net sales too declined from 21% in FY15 to 19.2% in FY17. As a result, consolidated EBITDA increased by 95.6% CAGR to Rs. 32,561mn in FY17. EBITDA margin expanded by 12ppts over FY15-17 to 17.5% in FY17. For H1 FY18, EBITDA stood at Rs. 4,781mn with margin of 9.1%. Depreciation charges declined by 10.2% CAGR, while finance cost increased by 10.9% during the period. Other income declined by 22% CAGR, mainly due to the decline in the interest income. Other income accounted 5.6% of the top-line in FY17 as compared to 11% in FY15. Consequently, reported PAT increased by 62.5% CAGR to Rs. 26,247mn in FY17. PAT margin expanded by around 8ppts over FY15-17 to 14.1% in FY17. In H1 FY18, reported PAT stood at Rs. 3,910mn with a margin of 7.4%.

Its research & development expenses are around 7% of the revenue over the last three years. The company is currently manufacturing Su-30 MkI, Hawk, Dornier, Advanced light helicopter, Cheetal, Light combat aircraft Tejas and related engines and accessories. The company is also provides repair & overhaul services for various aircraft and helicopters including related engines and accessories being operated by the customer. As of 31 st Dec. 2017, HAL had an order book was Rs. 684.6mn, which generally includes products and services to be manufactured and delivered and excludes anticipated revenues from its joint ventures and subsidiaries. Around 10% of the order book is from services and rest is the aircraft order book. The average project execution time is around 18-36 months. With reference to FY17 revenue, this order book provides cash flow certainty for the next 3-4 years. Upon the initial operational clearance in 2013, the company manufactured two LCA Tejas and was accepted by the Indian Air Force. The government is expecting huge demand of the LCH Tejas (both Mark 1 and upgraded version Mark 2) from domestic as well as from the overseas market. Currently, HAL has an order book of 40 Tejas Mark-1. The government has recently issued request of proposal to HAL for the procurement of additional 83 Tejas at a cost of around Rs. 500bn. Presently, the company has a capacity to manufacture eight Tejas aircraft per annum. Anticipating higher demand, it is planning to increase the manufacturing capacity to 16 per annum. By FY18 end, the management is confident of delivering 5-6 Tejas aircrafts.

Peer Comparison and Valuation (Contd ): Anticipating huge gap in its product portfolio and the future growth potential in the civil (passenger / transport) aircrafts, the company diversified into civil segment with Dornier Do-228 civil aircraft, which is suitable for the short-haul range inline with the regional connectivity scheme UDAN of the government. In FY17, it initiated the manufacturing of two civil aircrafts and currently it is exploring potential customers for entering into the civil segment. Indian civil aviation sector is among the fastest growing market and is expected to become the third largest by 2020 and largest by 2030. Thus this provides huge growth potential for the HAL in the civil aircraft market. HAL has reported improvement in the financial performance over FY15-17. Its RoIC is in increasing trend. In FY17, RoIC stood at 8% as compared to -0.1% and 4.8% in FY15 and FY16, respectively. The company has reported 8.9% CAGR rise in the total operating revenue over FY15-17 to Rs. 185,549.0mn in FY17. EBITDA during the period increased by 95.6% CAGR. EBITDA margin expanded from 5.4% in FY15 to 17.5% in FY17. However, due to lower interest income on the surplus cash, reported PAT reported a growth of 62.5% CAGR. PAT margin expanded from 6.4% in FY15 to 14.1% in FY17. RoE increased from 6.7% in FY15 to 20.9% in FY17, while RoCE improved from -0.1% in FY15 to 9.8% in FY17. The company is debt free and as of FY17 end, it had a cash & cash equivalent of Rs. 111.5bn. However due to share buyback process in Nov. 2017, the cash position might have declined to Rs. 102.3bn, i.e. Rs. 306 per share (24.7% of the demanded MCAP). For the six month ended Sept. 2017, HAL reported a top-line of Rs. 52,770mn with an EBITDA and PAT margin of 9.1% and 7.4%, respectively. There is some sort of seasonality in the business. most of the defence projects are being executed in the Q4 quarter. We are anticipating a top-line of Rs. 201,349mn (a growth of 8.5% over FY17) and EPS of 84 per share (an increase of 7% over FY17) for FY18E. EBITDA and PAT margin are anticipated at 18.4% and 13.9%, respectively. In FY19, it is expected to report a top-line of Rs. 218,494.5mn and EPS of 91.1 per share. On valuation front, at higher price band, the company is demanding a P/E valuation of 15.8x (to its restated FY17 EPS of Rs. 78.5) as compared to peer average of 21x. With respect to its FY18E and FY19E earnings of Rs. 84 and 91.1 per share, respectively, it is demanding a P/E valuation of 14.8x and 13.6x, respectively, as compared to peer average of 21.1x and 18x. The issue seems to be attractive in terms of valuation, amid concerns relating to long gestation period of the defence projects and stringent regulations. Thus considering the above observations, investors can SUBSCRIBE for the issue with mid to long term investment perspective. 7 CHOICE INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH
