​Allcargo Logistics: MTO performance improving steadily; Higher provision impacts P&E

(AGLL IN, Mkt Cap USD0.6b, CMP INR161, TP INR212, 32% Upside, Buy)

  • PAT beat led by higher other income, lower tax: 1QFY18 revenue increased 6% YoY to INR14.83b (higher than estimate) due to higher revenue from MTO segment. EBITDA declined 23% YoY (-2% QoQ) to INR1.03b (10% miss) due to lower-than-estimated EBIT from P&E segment on higher provision. Adj. PAT came in at INR630m (est. of INR643m; +1% YoY, +6% QoQ), led by higher other income of INR159m (+169% YoY, +7% QoQ) and a lower tax rate of 11% (vs 29.1% in 1QFY17).
  • MTO reports healthy volume growth: MTO volumes grew 14% YoY to 138,479 TEUs in 1QFY18, led by growth across geographies due to higher penetration. EBIT margin contracted to 4.1% from 4.3% in 4QFY17 due to currency impact. Revenue increased 9% YoY to INR12.9b due to strong volume growth. Margin is likely to improve due to the lagged effect of better container freight rates.
  • CFS profitability stable: CFS volumes stood at 78,732 TEUs (like-to-like growth of 2% YoY), led by higher volumes in Mundra CFS. EBIT margin contracted ~0.7bp YoY due to lease rentals of Kolkata CFS and expenses related to new CFS at Mundra.
  • P&E segment bottoms out: P&E revenue fell 25% YoY due to sale of unproductive assets and maintenance of one of the ships. P&E segment reported EBIT of INR-1m v/s INR180m in 1QFY17, led by non-operation of assets due to repairs and the sale of low-yielding non-strategic assets.
