Q3FY20 result highlights
Key positives: Received LOA for two projects of worth ~Rs21bn.
Key negatives: Lower Traffic growth in road assets. Revised the revenue guidance downwards to 15%
Impact on financials (Standalone): Reduce our earnings estimates for FY20E by 7% to account for slow execution in the quarter
Valuations & view
Revenue growth has suffered in 9mFY20 on delay of prolonged monsoon. However, we expect revenue growth to remain strong given the contribution from newer projects driving 16% revenue CAGR over FY19-22E on back of NHAI tendering activity, strong order backlog and two HAM projects awaiting appointed dates. ABL offers an attractive combination of strong earnings growth, low leverage & attractive valuations. ABL trades at 7x/6x FY20E/FY21E standalone earnings without adjusting for value of its assets. We value EPC business at Rs30bn or Rs105/share (10x FY20 EPS) & our overall revised SOTP based TP for ABL is Rs189 (EPC PE multiple to 10). Maintain Outperformer
