Torrent Power: Operating parameters improve across segments; Higher base though impacted reported performance
(TPW IN, Mkt Cap USD1.6b, CMP INR239, TP INR300, 26% Upside, Buy)
EBITDA grew 3% YoY to INR31.9b, while PAT was down 5% YoY to INR8.9b in FY19. The numbers are not comparable to the previous year, as the company used to follow cash-accounting for its regulated distribution business until FY18. Assuming similar accounting even in the previous year, TPW’s EBITDA would have increased by ~10% and PBT by ~29%. The strong underlying performance was driven by:
- 4b from the distribution franchisee, as AT&C losses in Bhiwandi and Agra were down by ~240bp/480bp to 14.9%/16.1% in FY19.
- 9b from the regulated distribution circles of Ahmedabad and Surat, led by an increase in regulated equity and ~50bp YoY lower T&D losses in Ahmedabad.
- 2b from thermal efficiency and PLF incentive, as PLF at the AMGen coal plant increased from 71.3% in FY18 to 87.8% at end-FY19.
