Thermax: Subsidiaries drag overall performance
(TMX IN, Mkt Cap USD1.9b, CMP INR1123, TP INR1295, 15% Upside, Buy)
- Operating performance at consolidated level below expectations: Sales improved 18.7% YoY to INR10.4b (est. of INR11.1b) in 1QFY19. Despite strong growth in revenue, EBIDTA of INR693m (-3.9% YoY) was meaningfully below our estimate of INR1.0b on account of a weak performance of subsidiaries. Net profit increased 21% YoY to INR0.5b (est. of INR0.6b), supported by higher other income (INR310m v/s INR241m in 1QFY18) and share of profits from JV/associates (profit of INR3m v/s a loss of INR67m in 1QFY18).
- Standalone performance improves off a weak base: At the standalone level, TMX's revenue rose 19% YoY to INR8.5b, led by a weak base of 1QFY18 (INR800m sales loss on account of GST-led ambiguity, and impact to the tune of INR350m on exports revenue as the JNPT port was infected by malware). EBIDTA rose 36.7% YoY to INR587m, with the margin expanding 90bp YoY to 6.9% led by better operating leverage. Adj. PAT rose 38.4% YoY to INR449m.
- Weak performance at subsidiaries: Subsidiaries' revenue grew 17% YoY to INR1.9b, but net profit fell 50% YoY to INR41m due to (a) Danstoker booking a loss of INR41m v/s a profit of INR41m in 1QFY18, due to a weak performance from Boilerworks, (b) Thermax Europe delivering a break even performance for the quarter given provisions made for the anticipated future claims, as against a profit of INR39m in 1QFY18 and (c) Thermax Engineering and Construction profits declining to INR22m in 1QFY19 from INR72m 1QFY18.
