Sanghi Industries: Cost push impacts margins, shutdown hurts volumes

(sngi IN, Mkt Cap USD0.4b, CMP INR98, TP INR134, 36% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Volumes impacted by shutdown: 4QFY18 volumes including clinker fell 20% YoY to 0.62mt on account of 15 days shutdown. Realizations increased 7% QoQ to INR4,091 (est. of INR4,002), led by firm prices in Gujarat. Revenue rose 3% YoY (-9% QoQ) to INR2.5b (est. of INR2.97b).
  • Margins impacted by cost push: Unitary cost rose 15% QoQ/30% YoY to INR3,425/t, led by higher freight and power & fuel costs. Thus, EBITDA/t declined 22% QoQ (+22% YoY) to INR665, with EBITDA at INR413m (-33% QoQ/-3% YoY) v/s our estimate of INR714m. The cost push can be attributed to higher RM cost/t (+INR50/t) due to procurement of high-cost clinker because of kiln shutdown. Freight cost/t increased in the quarter due to (i) freight costs of INR70-80m booked in 4QFY18 (was associated with the earlier period) and (ii) higher pilot charges (impact of INR30m). Interest cost increased 111% YoY at INR173m. PAT declined 29% YoY to INR186m (est. of INR400m).
  • FY18 performance: Volumes fell 16% YoY to 2.44mt due to lower clinker sales. Revenue rose 3% YoY to INR10.2b. EBITDA margin expanded 1.2pp YoY to 21%, led by healthy pricing. Hence, EBITDA rose 9% YoY to INR2.1b, with EBITDA/t at INR885 (+INR199/t YoY). PAT rose 48% YoY to INR933m.
