INDRAPRASTHA GAS: Strong volume growth continues; beat on EBITDA/scm

(IGL IN, Mkt Cap USD3.9b, CMP INR393, TP INR355, 10% Downside, Neutral)

 

High volume growth, combined with an expansion in EBITDA/scm, resulted in an EBITDA jump of 27% YoY to INR3.9b (our estimate: INR3.7b) for 2QFY20. PBT stood at INR3.7b with a DTL reversal of INR81.6m. PAT was at INR3.8b (v/s INR1.9b in 2QFY19).

  • The company has recognized provision for income tax on the revised rates, resulting in a reduction in current tax expense to the extent of INR614m.
  • For 1HFY20, EBITDA stood at INR7.3b (+20% YoY) with EBITDA/scm at INR6.2 (v/s INR5.8 in 1HFY19). PBT was up 20% YoY at INR6.8b, while PAT increased 34% YoY to INR4.9b due to the adoption of the lower tax rate.
  • EBITDA/scm for the quarter stood at INR6.5 (v/s INR5.7 in 2QFY19), supported by the CNG price hike of ~1.4-1.5/kg taken by IGL during the quarter amid an increase in the pipeline tariff. Also, spot LNG prices averaged lower YoY/QoQ at USD5.1/mmbtu (v/s USD10.4 in 2QFY19 and USD5.4 in 1QFY20). EBITDA/scm is the highest since 1QFY17.
