MOSL: ONGC (Buy)-In-line EBITDA, no subsidy burden yet

ONGC: In-line EBITDA, no subsidy burden yet

(ONGC IN, Mkt Cap USD31.0b, CMP INR166, TP INR219, 32% Upside, Buy)

 

  • ONGC’s reported EBITDA of INR147b (+49% YoY, +29% QoQ) was in line with our estimate. DD&A of INR50.3b was below our estimate of INR70b due to lower write-offs. PAT came in at INR61.4b (+58% YoY, +4% QoQ), marginally below our estimate of INR63b due to (a) lower other income of INR6.5b (est. of INR22b; -24% YoY, -83% QoQ), led by lower dividend income and lower cash balance and (b) a higher tax rate of 36% (v/s 28.2% in 4QFY18 and 34.6% in 1QFY18), as loan taken for HPCL acquisition does not qualify for tax shield.
  • 1Q net realization stood at USD74.2/bbl (inclusive of VAT/CST) (est. of USD71.4/bbl; +45% YoY, +11% QoQ). ONGC’s realization premium to Brent in 1QFY19 stood at USD2/bbl v/s historical trend of USD1/bbl. Subsidy sharing was nil, and we model the same for FY19/20.
  • Gas production, sales up YoY: 1QFY19 oil sales stood at 5.8mmt (-3.5% YoY and +1.7% QoQ) and gas sales at 4.9bcm (+2.9% YoY, +2.2% QoQ). Oil production stood at 6.22mmt (-3.5% YoY, +0.2%QoQ) and gas production at 6.19bcm (+3.2% YoY, +1.9% QoQ). Gas production is expected to grow, led by completion of its development projects. We expect gas production to increase ~10% annually, going ahead.
