MOSL: ALLCARGO LOGISTICS (Buy)-Strong performance from MTO-Higher provision impacts P&E segment

​Allcargo Logistics: Strong performance from MTO; Higher provision impacts P&E segment

(AGLL IN, Mkt Cap USD0.6b, CMP INR167, TP INR215, 29% Upside, Buy)

  • EBITDA miss due to higher provisioning in P&E segment: 2QFY18 revenue increased 10% YoY to INR15.47b (est. of INR16b), led by 15% YoY growth in MTO revenues. EBITDA declined 17% YoY (+2% QoQ) to INR1.05b, driven by EBIT loss in the P&E segment due to higher provisioning for doubtful debt. PAT decline was restricted to 2% YoY at INR638m due to a lower tax rate of 1% (v/s 22% in 2QFY17) on account of MAT credit.
  • MTO shows consistent improvement: MTO volumes grew 12% YoY to 142,945 TEUs in 2QFY18, led by growth in global trade. EBIT margin remained stable at 4.1%, as the shipping freight rates have stabilized globally. Realization increased 2% YoY to INR97,093/TEU. Hence, revenue increased 15% YoY to INR13.9b.
  • CFS profitability stable: CFS volumes stood at 65,362 TEUs (-6% YoY), primarily due to a decline in JNPT and Chennai volumes. EBIT margin contracted ~5.3pp YoY due to lower dwell time, impact of direct port delivery (DPD) in JNPT, and higher lease rentals.
  • P&E provisioning remains elevated: P&E revenue declined 29% YoY due to lower asset utilization (wind power market impacted) and sale of unproductive assets. P&E reported EBIT loss of INR40m due to higher provision for doubtful debt in 2QFY18.
