Blue Star: Results impacted by implementation of INDAS 115

(BLSTR IN, Mkt Cap USD1.0b, CMP INR699, TP INR695, 1% Downside, Neutral)

 

  • INDAS 115 distorts 1QFY19 results: Sales grew 7.3% to INR15.1b on a like-to-like basis. Implementation of INDAS 115 has led to restatement of the 1QFY18 numbers, given retrospective changes in the sales recognition method. Starting 1QFY19, sales as per INDAS 115 are booked on (a) delivery to customer as against dispatch earlier, and (b) multiple expenses (dealer discounts, trade discounts, incentives) are now netted off with sales as against booked as expenses earlier. EBITDA of INR1.4b (+24% YoY) was supported by better margin performance in the EMP segment. Adjusted net profit was flat YoY at INR764m.
  • Unitary Cooling Product (UCP) segment reported a sales decline of 4% YoY to INR8.3b, impacted by weak performance in the room AC segment. Room AC sales declined 10% YoY (13% decline for the industry), impacted by unseasonal rains in the southern region. EBIT margin expanded 30bp YoY to 11.4%, supported by better product mix. 45% of the room AC sales came in from inverter ACs, which have better realizations. Management guided for 9.5-10% margin in FY19, including 150bp impact from water purifiers, where it expects to book INR1b of sales in FY19 (2-2.5% market share). Commercial refrigeration registered 8.2% YoY growth, which restricted the decline in UCP segment to 4% YoY.
