Allcargo Logistics: EBITDA miss driven by higher losses in P&E segment

(AGLL IN, Mkt Cap USD0.7b, CMP INR187, TP INR223, 19% Upside, Buy)

 

  • EBITDA miss due to higher provisioning in P&E segment: 3QFY18 revenue increased 5% YoY to INR14.8b (est. of INR16.8b), led by 7% YoY growth in MTO volumes. EBITDA declined 6% YoY (-11% QoQ) to INR933m, led by an EBIT loss from the P&E segment. PAT declined 29% YoY to INR348m (est. of INR684m) due to a higher tax rate of 38.7% v/s 31% in 3QFY17.
  • MTO shows healthy YoY improvement: MTO volumes grew 7% YoY to 144,646 TEUs in 3QFY18, led by growth in both LCL and FCL volumes. EBIT margin remained stable at 4.1% due to stabilization of shipping freight rates globally. Realization increased 2% YoY to INR97,093/TEU. Hence, revenue increased 10% YoY to INR13.3b.
  • CFS impacted by DPD: CFS volumes stood at 71,764 TEUs (-5%YoY), primarily due to a decline in JNPT and Chennai volumes. EBIT margin contracted ~1pp QoQ due to the impact of Direct Port Delivery (DPD) at JNPT.
  • P&E provisioning remains elevated: P&E revenue declined 36% YoY due to a decline in asset utilization (wind power market impacted). P&E reported an EBIT loss of INR109m due to higher provision for doubtful debts in 3QFY18, and also a decline in asset utilization, which impacted margins.
