MOSL: GE T&D INDIA (Neutral)-Operating performance miss led by below-expected margins

GE T&D India: Operating performance miss led by below-expected margins

(GETD IN, Mkt Cap USD1.6b, CMP INR407, TP INR435, 7% Upside, Neutral)

 

  • Performance impacted by margin contraction: Sales grew strongly by 24% YoY to INR14.4b in 3QFY18, ahead of our estimate of INR9.3b, led by smooth execution of orders in hand. Adj. EBITDA (ECL provisioning of INR224m) of INR728m was 3% lower than INR751m in 3QFY17 and meaningfully below our estimate of INR1.0b due to execution of lower-margin orders. Adj. EBIDTA margin shrunk 130bp YoY to 5.1%, below our estimate of 8%. Adj. PAT of INR521m was in line with our estimate of INR534m (3QFY17: INR443m), led by higher other income (INR630m v/s INR493m in 3QFY17).
  • EBIDTA margin contracts on execution of lower-margin orders, intensifying competition: Adj. EBIDTA stood at INR728m v/s INR751m in 3QFY17, with the margin contracting 130bp YoY to 5.1% on intensifying competition in the sector and execution of lower-margin orders. GETD guided for sustainable gross margins of 30-31% v/s 26% in 3QFY18.
  • Order inflow declines sharply: Order intake declined 30% YoY to INR7.8b in 3QFY18 due to a delay in finalization of orders. Order backlog stands at INR72b, providing revenue visibility for the next 18 months. Key orders won in 3Q were (1) order from Sterlite Power Grid Ventures for installation of a substation in Tripura, (2) order from Gujarat Energy Transmission for 400Kv GIS at Bhachinda, (3) order from Bhutan Power for 66Kv GIS substation at Thimpu and 4) order from Delhi Transco for a busbar protection scheme.
