LKR Piramal Glass Ceylon PLC Interim Update Q4 FY 16/17 Equity Research Quarterly revenue declined by 13% mainly attributed to the capacity constraints owing to the closure of its furnace for relining and expansion. Accordingly bottom line reported only a marginal increase of 4.5% owing to the lower topline growth, higher finance cost due to debt taken for the investment and due to higher income taxes paid on trading profit (since trading profits are taxed at 28% vs 2% tax on local manufacturing) made on the import of glass to fulfill the domestic demand during the two-month shut down of the plant. Investment Considerations GLAS completed the recent year with a declined PAT of 25% attributed to lowered margins due to planned shutdown of the plant for 2 months for furnace relining which caused the company to import volumes at a higher cost (inclusive of rupee depreciation of 4% and import duties of 15%). Fluctuating LPG prices, high furnace oil prices and increased finance cost due to borrowings for the investment also negatively impacted on the company's bottom line. Domestic sales FY17 was LKR 5574 Mn with a marginal growth of 3% while domestic market segment mainly includes industries of liquor, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals and agro chemicals. Recent upgrade of furnace together with the capacity enhancement by 2% (25 MT/day to 3 MT/day) will enable GLAS to mainly serve increasing demand in its local segment. The additional tonnage is expected to channel first towards satisfying the local market demand for virgin coconut oil exports, water bottles in various sizes, incremental demand for aerated bottles due to shift in consumer preference over PET/ Plastics, returnable bottles in liquor segments and then towards specialty segment in the international market. Export market sales declined by 8% due to the capacity constraints from 2 months closure of the furnace as the company was selective in servicing the high value-added export specialty segments. Approximately 4% of production costs is generated by energy, led by dual fired furnace of LPG and furnace oil. New furnace is capable of operating using both energy types. Accordingly, higher furnace oil prices are expected to set off with the use of LPG. Despite reductions in international oil prices, which currently hovers between $5-55 per barrel, local furnace oil prices have remained static in Sri Lanka at LKR 8/L, at a premium of 4% (As per U.S Energy Information Administration heating oil/furnace oil is trading at 1.42 USD/gallon) causing the company to be uncompetitive in global markets in exports due to higher prices led by higher cost. Despite the increase in finance cost FY16/17 due to borrowings taken for the investment, interest rate risk is at a moderate level for the company as the loan obtained for the investment is fixed at 9% cap and due to free from further debt financing needs. Accordingly, GLAS's bottom line is expected to improve FY18E-FY2E with the added capacity which will enable the company to serve the rising demand. Further company's exposure to exchange rate risk is mitigated through the natural hedging as the inflow of foreign currency through export sale off sets the import cost. Valuation GLAS's performance FY 17 impacted due to 2 months closure of the plant. However, performance for FY18E- FY 2E is expected to improve in line with the increased capacity level which will help the company to service rising demand. Accordingly, in line with the positive growth signs of the company we have valued the counter at LKR 7.3 per share. However, at the current price, counter is trading at a discount to our valuation with 17.74% upside. Thus, we give a BUY recommendation for GLAS. At current price level counter is trading at a PE of 12.13X which is at a premium to the sector and a Price to book of 1.4X which is at a discounter to the sector.
