UltraTech Cement: Revival of Century assets to support earnings growth; Strong FCF to drive deleveraging, RoE improvement

  • Century assets generated nil EBITDA in 2QFY20, impacting UTCEM's profitability by 10%.
  • EBITDA/t was down to INR1,021 (INR1,131 excluding Century) in the quarter.
  • In this note, we present (a) the premise for our expectation of an improvement in profitability of Century and (b) the case studies on the turnaround of the other two acquisitions - JPA and Binani.
  • With limited capex needs going forward, strong FCF generation (~7% yield) will likely drive deleveraging and 550bps improvement in RoE over the next two years.

Against this promising backdrop, we maintain our positive stance on UTCEM - our top pick in the sector with a Target Price of INR 5,050.
