Inox Wind's Q3FY20 results (Underperformer) - Execution continues to be sluggish

Q3FY20 result highlights

Indian wind industry installation continues to face headwinds. Delay of grid infrastructure and land policy in Gujarat has impacted execution under various orders awarded by SECI, resulting in disappointment in revenues for the wind OEM’s. Though the grid infrastructure and land issues are being resolved, the execution is yet to pick up. We expect volumes for FY20E and FY21E are likely to be below expectation (2-3GW).
The transition from feed in tariff has adversely impacted FY18, FY19 and continues to adversely impact the FY20E. The expected recovery in the industry at the beginning of the year has not materialised resulting in lower volumes in YTDFY20.
As a result, INOX reported sales of Rs1.7bn during Q3FY20, a decline of 56% yoy. EBITDA came in at Rs16m (vs Rs619m in Q3FY19). Consequently, INOX reported a loss of Rs274m in Q3FY20 (below our est of profit of Rs240m).
Total order book at end of Q3FY20 stands at 1,471MW (order value of Rs84bn). Out of 1,471MW, 502MW is in form of letter of intent from Adani Green Energy and 250MW is of order from Continuum Energy. Management expects increase in execution in coming quarters on commissioning of common power evacuation facilities in the State of Gujarat.

Key positives: 200MW order from Continuum Energy, a Morgan Stanley based PE platform

Key negatives: Continued disappointment in execution for industry led by grid issues; muted participation in new wind auction.

Impact on financials: Downgrade our earnings estimates for FY20E/FY21E to (Rs4.0)/Rs3.1 on account for delayed execution; introduce our FY22E estimates.

Valuations & view

INOX Wind (INOX) had a disappointing execution in last 30 months as industry wind power installations fell 40% yoy to 1.8GW in FY18 and 1.5GW in FY19. We believe the transition from Feed in Tariff (FiT) to auction regime continues to impact volumes in FY20E and will turn the tide in the wind power industry favour from FY21E onwards. However, continued delay in execution on the order book of 1.5GW and consequently, the risk of cancellation of existing order book is rising for the company. We maintain our Underperformer rating on the stock with a revised target price of Rs31/share (10x FY21E P/E) on delay in execution of existing order book and uncertainty on the future.â€‹
