MOSL: INTERGLOBE AVIATION (Neutral)-Aggressive capacity addition in a lean quarter weighs on profitability

InterGlobe Aviation: Aggressive capacity addition in a lean quarter weighs on profitability

(indigo IN, Mkt Cap USD7.5b, CMP INR1355, TP INR1318, 3% Downside, Neutral)

 

INDIGO’s revenue increased 20% YoY (-6% QoQ) to INR58b (our estimate: INR60b). EBITDAR of INR11.2b (-16% YoY, -42% QoQ) came in significantly below our estimate of INR14.8b due to a lower yield of INR3.82 (est. of INR4.08; -4% YoY, -11% QoQ) and higher fuel cost of INR1.39 (est. of INR1.36; +10% YoY, +10% QoQ). Passenger ticket yield stood at INR3.31 (est. of INR3.51; -5.6% YoY, -10.6% QoQ). PAT of INR1.2b (est. of INR3.7b; -73% YoY, -85% QoQ) was further impacted by higher lease rentals of INR9.9b (est. of INR9.6b; +20.5% YoY, +5.2% QoQ). Higher other income of INR2.6b (est. of INR2.1b; -12.3% YoY, -5.2% QoQ) largely offset the impact of higher depreciation of INR1.3b (est. of INR1.15b; +22% YoY, +19.8% QoQ) and higher interest expense of INR927m (est. of INR837m; +19.4% YoY, +9.8% QoQ).

  • Ticket yield down ~6% YoY: INDIGO’s ticket yield declined 6% YoY (-10.6% QoQ) to INR3.31 (est. of INR3.51), led by aggressive capacity addition in a lean quarter. Intense competition also took its toll. Total yield declined 4% YoY (-11% QoQ), led by (a) ancillary revenue (INR6.7b; +21.5% YoY, -5% QoQ) and (b) other operating income (INR1.4b; +249% YoY, flat QoQ). Other operating income was likely higher due to credits received from manufacturers.
  • For full-year FY18, revenue stood at INR230b (+24% YoY), EBITDAR at INR65.7b (+25% YoY) and PAT at INR22.4b (+35% YoY), implying an EPS of INR58.3/share.
