BUY ITD Cementation: AnandRathi Institutional Research

ITD Cementation, India - Going strong, perfect turnaround; Buy with a target price of Rs 138

ITD Cementation posted a strong set of Q4 CY15/CY15 figures, aided by its excellent execution of the JNP Terminal project. We retain our Buy rating, with a price target of Rs. 138 based on 15x CY17e PE, backed by its strong operational capabilities, healthy order-backlog and L1 orders of Rs. 30bn likely to be converted in Q1 CY16.

Robust revenue performance. ITD Cementation delivered strong consolidated revenue performance of Rs. 10.6bn (up 106.8% yoy), the highest quarterly revenue it ever booked. For the full year CY15 growth shot up 78.7% yoy to Rs. 30.7bn, aided by the healthy contribution from the JNP Terminal project (~40%). We estimate a 16% CAGR in revenue over CY15-17, backed by its healthy order-backlog and strong bid pipeline.

Margins on the verge of improvement. The EBITDA margin for the quarter came at 6.2%, improving 215bps yoy (full year CY15: 6.2% vs. 5.3% in CY14). With fresh orders in high-growth, high-margin segments and slow-moving projects nearly complete, we expect the EBITDA margin to recover to 7.6% and 9.1% in the next two years.

Strong order book. The order book at end-Dec'15 was ~Rs. 52bn (1.7x TTM consol. revenue), providing strong revenue assurance over the next three years. Also, its L1 status for projects of ~Rs. 30bn, including the Mumbai Metro project worth Rs. 12bn is likely to be converted in Q1 CY16. Further, it has placed bids in several port, MRTS and industrial-structure segments and is looking to mass-housing opportunities, keeping the outlook upbeat.

Valuations. Revenue and PAT growth are likely to continue strong in FY17-18 owing to the strong order book and healthy inflows, with the larger projects beginning to contribute considerably to revenue. At the ruling price, the stock quotes at a PE of 10x CY17e. We retain our Buy rating, with a price target of Rs. 138 based on 15x CY17e PE. Risk: Project-execution delays.
