HINDALCO: Continued strong performance at Novelis; Reports highest-ever EBITDA in 2QFY20

(HNDL IN, Mkt Cap USD6.4b, CMP INR202, TP INR242, 20% Upside, Buy)

Novelis' adj. EBITDA grew 5% YoY to USD374m (our estimate: USD337m) - the highest-ever - led by a robust performance in North America. Volumes were up 3% YoY to 835kt (our estimate: 823kt). EBITDA/t improved by 2% YoY to USD448/t (our estimate: USD410). Adj. PAT increased 32% YoY to USD183m.

  • EBITDA for the company's North America (NA) business grew 13% YoY. This was on account of favorable conditions for the specialties market in the US post anti-dumping duties on China. Demand for its products within the auto market also remained strong. With favorable market conditions in the US, Novelis shipped products from other regions (Europe, Asia and South America) to NA as well.
  • With capacity utilization at >90%, the company seeks to optimize its portfolio. Novelis will remain selective in its exposure within specialty and use some of this capacity to cater to the can market.
  • Demand outlook favorable: Demand for aluminum in auto remains favorable in the US. Beverage cans outlook is also optimistic with increasing preference for lightweight and sustainable aluminum packaging.
