MOSL: IOCL (Buy)-Better-than-expected margins drive beat

IOCL: Better-than-expected margins drive beat

(IOCL IN, Mkt Cap USD13.1b, CMP INR103, TP INR157, 52% Upside, Buy)

 

  • IOCL reported a beat on our estimates, led by higher-than-estimated reported GRM (USD6.6/bbl), marketing margins (INR6.2/lit), and marketing sales volumes (-6% QoQ – despite the second COVID wave led lockdowns). Thus, EBITDA stood at INR111b (+65% est., +102% YoY, -18% QoQ), with PAT at INR59b (+211% YoY, -32% QoQ).
  • SG GRM is averaging higher MoM at USD2.9/bbl in July (v/s USD2/bbl in 1QFY22), the highest ever since the COVID outbreak in Feb'20. Recovery is entirely driven by higher demand for gasoline (margins at USD10.1; +USD3 MoM); while ATF and gasoil margins remain the same MoM at USD4.3/4.7.
  • With the total phasing out of the COVID lockdowns and closure of refinery complexes (est ~3mnbopd over the next 2–3 years), the refining margin would return to its long-term average (of USD5–6/bbl).
  • debt declined further to INR857b in 1QFY22 (down 16% v/s end-FY21). We maintain Buy, with combined FCF yield and dividend of ~21-25% over FY22–24E. It trades at 6.1x consol. FY23E EPS and 0.7x FY23E PBV.
