BIRLA CORPORATION: Expansion plans provide growth visibility

(BCORP IN, Mkt Cap USD1.4b, CMP INR1388, TP INR1740, 25% Upside, Buy)

 

Reiterate Buy on attractive valuation

  • BCORP’s 1QFY22 result was in line, with EBITDA growing by 47% YoY to INR3.4b, led by 39% growth in volume and EBITDA/t at INR1,026 (+6% YoY).
  • The ongoing 3.9mtpa greenfield expansion at Mukutban (to be commissioned in 4QFY22) provides strong volume growth visibility in FY23.
  • We expect a 14% EBITDA CAGR in FY21-23E, led by 14% volume CAGR, as it expands capacity by ~30% over the next 12 months. Valuation is also attractive at 7.4x FY23E EV/EBITDA. We reiterate our Buy

 EBITDA up 47% YoY driven by 39% volume growth

  • Revenue/EBITDA/PAT stood at INR17.5b/INR3.4b/INR1.4b in 1QFY22, up 43%/47%/115% YoY and was 3%/5%/7% above our estimate.
  • Cement volume grew 39% YoY to 3.35mt (est. 3.25mt).
  • While blended realization rose 3% YoY to INR5,221/t due to higher jute revenue, cement realization was flat YoY at INR4,943/t (+2% QoQ).
  • Cost per tonne increased 1% QoQ to INR4,196 (up 2% YoY) due to fuel and freight cost inflation and higher other expenses.
