Tonnage production for the quarter stood at 48,116MT compared to 46,140MT in Q2FY11. EBITDA was in line with our estimate at Rs1.8bn, whereas EBITDA margin improved by 10bps QoQ on account of robust top line. Due to higherthan expected other income and lower interest cost, PAT doubled to Rs826m (our estimate Rs730m).

Consolidated EBITDA improves 60bps QoQ: Top line, on a consolidated basis, grew by 11.2% sequentially, with EBITDA performance improving by 14.9% QoQ. Consolidated EBITDA margins improved by 60bps sequentially at 18.1% on account of strong performance on the subsidiaries front. Adj. PAT, on a consolidated basis for Q3FY11, stood at Rs814m (Rs607m in Q2FY11). Outlook and Valuation: Operating leverage, coupled with higher utilization at the new non auto facility in FY12E, will lead to EBITDA margins in excess of 25% on a standalone basis by FY12E. We value the company on SOTP basis, with standalone business valued at Rs354/share and subsidiaries/jvs valued at Rs61/share. With a strong traction in the domestic as well as export markets and the likely recovery in North America and Europe, we maintain Accumulate.
