CYIENT: In line with scaled-down estimates; Upgrading to Buy on favorable risk-reward

(CYL IN, Mkt Cap USD0.9b, CMP INR586, TP INR730, 24% Upside, Upgrade to Buy)

 

  • Weak exit to FY19, as expected: For FY19, CC revenue grew 10.1% YoY - contributed by Services (88% of revenue) growth of 7.6% YoY CC and DLM growth 29.3% YoY (13% organic), EBITDA increased 17.3% YoY and net income rose 14% YoY. Including INR2b worth of buyback, the payout for FY19 stood at 82% of net profit. For 4QFY19, revenue was flat YoY (our estimate: +1% YoY) at USD165m, EBITDA increased 17% YoY to INR1.75b (our estimate: INR1.83b) and PAT grew 50% YoY to INR1.8b (our estimate: INR1.25b). EBITDA margin expanded 30bp QoQ to 15.1%, in line with our estimate of 15.3%. EBITDA margin in Services was at 16.4% and in DLM at 4.1%. Significant net income beat was driven by INR521m of other income, which came outside forex and cash yield.
  • Guidance for FY20 - lowballing after FY19 miss? CYL guided for FY20 Services revenue growth in high-single-digits and DLM revenue growth of 15%. It expects EBIT to grow in double-digits, implying some margin expansion. High-single-digits growth outlook in FY20 is a function of a weak exit and a soft 1Q. CYL expects double-digit YoY revenue growth in Services over 2Q-4Q. Management alluded to an element of conservatism in its guidance, after missing its stated targets in FY19.
  • Supply constraints marred 4Q: CYL's earlier 4Q guidance was based on project orders that were in place, but supply constraints came in the way of execution. This accounted for nearly 75% of the impact on weak 4Q, while 25% was demand softness - deferral of some work. On the profitability front, CYL has initiated a cost-optimization exercise with an external agency, which should conclude by 4QFY20. It expects a strong exit to the Services margins this fiscal (18%+), which should bode well for FY21 profitability.
