Q4FY21 Result Update - KEC International - ICICI Direct

KEC reported a steady set of Q4FY21 numbers. The topline came in at Rs. 4360.5 crore, up 18.8% YoY, (above our estimate of Rs. 4053.9 crore) aided by strong growth in non-T&D. Overall, T&D contributed 51% followed by railways (28%), civil (11%) and cable (8%) to revenues. EBITDA margins came in at 8.1% (below our estimate of 8.9%), down 200 bps YoY mainly impacted by execution headwinds in SAE (Brazil) and commodity prices, while absolute EBIDTA came in at Rs. 354.5 crore, down 4.4% YoY. PAT came in at Rs. 194.3 crore, almost flat YoY.

Valuation & Outlook

KEC delivered a steady Q4FY21 performance driven by strong growth in non-T&D segment amid challenges in T&D-SAE and commodity price impact. However, T&D is likely to rebound in the medium term providing further accelerated execution. Also, a backlog of Rs. 19109 crore, strong profitable traction in railways, civil business and focus on operational efficiencies would further de-risk its business model in the medium term. We expect KEC to deliver revenue, EBITDA, PAT CAGR of 10.4%, 9.1%, 13.0%, respectively, in FY20-23E. We revise our target price to Rs. 445/ share (earlier Rs. 450/ share) at 14x FY23E EPS and maintain our BUY rating.
