​cesc: Dhariwal starts full supplies to Noida PPA; Consolidated PAT grew 16% YoY in FY17; Re-iterate Buy

(CESC IN, Mkt Cap USD1.6b, CMP INR841, TP INR1040, 15% Upside, BUY)

  • CESC’s 4QFY17 standalone PAT was broadly flat YoY at INR2.9b (ahead of estimate of INR2.5b) as we estimate that growth in regulated equity was offset by the impact of negative bid for the captive coal block. For FY17, PAT increased 2.1% YoY to INR8.6b. Consolidated PAT grew 16% YoY to INR6.9b.
  • Standalone: Power sales declined ~5% YoY to 2.09BU on a strong base. EBITDA (including regulatory income/expense) was broadly flat YoY at INR5.4b. For a distribution business, EBITDA alone (down ~50% YoY) is not representative of the operating performance of the company, as the mismatch in recovery of cost for the period is presented separately under ‘Regulatory income/expense’ as per the accounting standards.
  • Spencer: Revenue grew 9.6% YoY to ~INR20b in FY17. Reported sales per sq.ft/m were up 8.5% YoY to INR1,576. EBITDA loss declined from ~INR596m in 4QFY16 to INR460m in the quarter, led by operating leverage and efficiencies. EBITDA margin improved from negative 3.2% in the year-ago period to 2.3%. Reported store EBITDA was up ~INR15 per sq.ft/m YoY to INR101.
