MOSL: CONTAINER CORPORATION (Neutral)-Recognition of export incentives boosts profitability

​Container Corporation: Recognition of export incentives boosts profitability

(CCRI IN, Mkt Cap USD3.9b, CMP INR1207, TP INR1162, 4% Downside, Neutral)

  • Profitability improvement led by export incentives: 4QFY17 EBITDA increased 6% YoY (+90% QoQ) to INR4.95b, as export incentives of INR2.3b for full-year FY17 were booked in the quarter.
  • Originating volumes grow moderately: EXIM originating volumes rose 6% YoY, while EXIM handling volume growth was at 8% YoY, possibly due to higher double-stacking at Kathuwas .Total handling volumes grew 8% YoY to 800k TEUs (EXIM at 665k TEUs: +8% YoY; domestic at 135k TEUs: +8% YoY).
  • Adjusted for export incentives, EXIM realizations decline: 4Q EXIM revenue fell 5% YoY to INR12.4b due to 9% YoY lower realizations (calculated on originating volumes). Realizations have been structurally trending lower due to a reduction in lead distance by ~11% YoY in EXIM in FY17 and pricing pressure in industry. Realizations/TEU in EXIM thus fell 9% YoY to INR26,704.
  • EXIM EBIT/TEU on originating volumes (adjusted for export incentives) was at INR3,808 (+3% YoY, -2% QoQ) due to pricing pressure, despite lower empty running charges and higher double-stacking benefits. Management expects margins to improve due to increased proportion of double-stacking at Khatuwas from present 10% to up to 15% in the medium term.
