​tata steel: Annual report: EBITDA growth was offset by WC in FY17; Ind-AS revaluation depresses return ratios, net-debt- to-EBITDA

(tata IN, Mkt Cap USD8.6b, CMP INR571, TP INR583, 2% Upside, Neutral)

Analysis of Tata Steel’s (TATA) FY17 is of particular significance because of Ind-AS introduction. Comparison of re-stated FY16 Ind-AS financials with previously reported IGAAP brings out many insights.

  • ​Standalone EBITDA for FY16 is boosted by INR3.4b, as long-term power supply arrangement is now finance lease, which has increased debt by INR16.9b.
  • EPCG benefits are now deferred income; this has increased gross block (hence depreciation) and non-cash EBITDA (INR3.4b in FY17).
  • TSE-LP disposal: Ind-AS FY16 financials have excluded disposed assets, which contributed loss of INR1.8b to EBITDA. TATA received negative consideration of INR19.6b, which was over and above INR4b net working capital.
  • TSE turnaround is largely attributable to reduction in repair & maintenance, GBP depreciation, and some expansion in spreads in FY17.
  • Accounting of JVs on equity method has reduced net debt by INR54b and EBITDA by just INR2b, thereby benefitting EV/EBITDA.
  • Book value is inflated by INR132/share to INR425/share on fair valuation of assets and goodwill is trimmed by INR100/share to INR42/share in FY16.
  • All the return ratios (RoE, RoCE, RoIC, asset turn) have declined under Ind-AS. Net-debt-to-equity declined sharply. On the other hand, EBITDA margin has improved under Ind-AS for TATA.
