ANALYST NOTES: Power Grid: Challenges as investor money flies in transmission (Utsav Mehta, CFA, +91 22 3043 3209) Attractiveness of low-risk, annuity income provided by transmission assets is catching investor fancy. In the recent past, Sterlite Sterlite listed its InvIT, Adani made acquisitions and Greenko may be eyeing Essel’s assets. CRISIL’s recent report names power transmission as the most attractive infra segment. With (1) larger availability of investable vehicles (public/private entities with sizeable asset pool), (2) a defined private ownership use-case, and (3) reasonable competitive intensity for new projects, transmission could witness an uptick in private low-cost capital. This could significantly hamper PGCIL’s ability to earn high RoE (currently regulated) as more projects move to competitive bidding. It faces challenges to maintain project pipeline as the pool for inter-state transmission projects becomes shallower and resorts to riskier state and international projects (like recent bid in Brazil). PGCIL’s (SELL) valuations of 1.6x FY19E P/B don’t seem punchy but may not re-rate materially as project, capital allocation and competitive risks increase that may restrict returns to single digits. Possible silver s ilver lining - easier monetisation of it s assets. Source: Ambit Capital Capital research

AMBIT INSIGHTS
Specialty Chemicals Advantage India as China goes green The sector reported a big boost in capex announcements in the past 50 days led by NOCIL, Navin Fluorine, Nagarjuna Agrichem and Aarti. This trend has been helped by Chinese supply disruptions and should only accelerate. While fundamentals are bright for Indian chemicals players, valuations are possibly close to their peak. Hence, investors need to pay attention to sustainable earnings stories rather than those with one-time price jumps as we believe these sharp spikes caused by the Chinese shutdowns will fade. Capacities should come back sooner than later (in China or elsewhere) albeit with a more level playing field for Indian players. Valuations of chemicals microcaps have gone through the roof in the frenzy, but we urge investors to not take their eyes off the ability to build scale. We prefer players with management bandwidth, mastery over niche processes, global standard manufacturing assets, and ability to build new products/processes. We reiterate BUY on Aarti, PI Industries, Vinati Organics and SRF.
POSITIVE Quick Insight Analysis Meeting Note News Impact
Deflationary trends in chemicals are coming off Over last decade, China disrupted the global chemicals procurement supply chain by: (i) flooding the markets with large scale capacities which were backward integrated and (ii) not spending much on emission control and pollution treatment. This was helped by funding through capital subsidies and availability of cheap debt. Though China is focusing on putting its house in order, multiple disruptions have been rocking the boat, which will increase the landed price of chemicals across the globe and make Indian manufacturers more competitive. These disruptions in China include:
Raw material availability has become limited. Mining/production of many toxic materials such as yellow phosphorus has been banned, which has impacted multiple forward products.
Many capacities are being asked to shift from provinces such as Jiangsu, Hebei and Shandong to provinces such as Inner Mongolia. This is creating a temporary disruption in production of 12-36 months. However, these shifts will materially increase logistics costs and these plants will need high capex and will involve high capital costs.
At multiple places, companies are being asked to shift plants from coal to natural gas (LNG), which have been substantially increasing power costs. Many have been asked to tighten their SHE (Safety, health, emission) standards, which are leading to an increase in invested capital by 20-25%.
Inefficient plants which don’t even make enough money to service their debt are being asked to shut down, eli minating excess capacity.
Priorities have changed at the top Chinese President Xi Jinping mentioned “environment” 89 times during his speech at the 19th Congress and “economy” just 70 times (that too to put focus on quality of economic growth). A few changes over the last one year are:
District-level cadres are being incentivised/punished for meeting/missing their emission targets like they used to be for achieving their GDP growth targets.
Promotion of local government officials doesn’t really depend on economic growth targets but their ability to support the government on its green drive.
Xi Jinping’s speech at the 19th Congress suggests China’s focus has shifted to providing better quality of life rather than double-digit economic growth.
Introduction of an Environmental Protection Law that will levy new pollution taxes on manufacturers. It replaces a 38-year-old pollution discharge regulation which had loopholes and exemptions that made it easy for companies to avoid payments.

AMBIT INSIGHTS 40% of Chinese manufacturing capacities were temporarily shut in 2017 as per ICIS while 12000 local government officials were disciplined for not discharging their duties properly during Jan-Nov 2017.
The capacity shutdowns will go all the way up to 2025 The Chinese government has clearly mentioned that toxic plants need to be relocated out of densely populated regions (source: ICIS)
All small to mid-sized chemicals plants that fall in the toxic category must complete relocation by end-2020, and if they haven’t started work yet, this must begin next year.
All the larger plants classified as producing toxic chemicals must relocate by end2025, and the process must start no later than 2020.
Plants can also be re-engineered to produce non-toxic products or must be permanently closed if re-engineering or relocation is not possible.
Capex of Indian players has been rising to meet growing demand We see multiple opportunities for Indian chemicals players as the disruption discussed above plays out. The Indian chemicals market at US$180bn forms just 4% of the global chemicals market while China accounts for nearly half. We expect significant market share gains over next few years as Indian players’ ramp up capacity as well as product capabilities. Exhibit 1: Recent capex announcements by Indian chemical players
NOCIL
Navin
Aarti
Capex Amount Announcement Purpose & Other Details Date (Rs mn) For expansion of its production facilities for Rubber Chemicals (including intermediates captively consumed towards manufacture of rubber chemicals) at Dahej/Navi Mumbai. This is Phase - 2. The said investment is 1,680 20-Dec-17 expected to maintain the Asset turnover ratio of 2: 1. The said capex is expected to be completed during Q1 FY 2019-20. Significant portion of CAPEX will be financed through internal accruals. This capex is for creating additional cGMP capacity and associated infrastructure at its Dewas Facilities. The expanded capacity will be utilised to satify the increasing demands for company's Contract Manufacturing 1,150 21-Dec-17 business (for value added complex chemicals and fluoro intermediates manufactured for innovator pharm companies across the globe). Aarti has tied up with a global chemical major to supply specialty chemicals with annual revenues of Rs5/5.5bn for the next 20 years. Capex for this project, US$35-40mn (~Rs2.5bn, implying an asset turn of ~2x), will be funded by the client as interest-free advance that will be adjusted against revenues from annual 5,500 29-Dec-17 supplies. This project will build on existing technology with Aarti while using an add-on technology to be provided by Aarti’s global client. This model (cost of capital arbitrage and faster ramp-up) can be replicated meaningfully for multiple clients of Aarti.

AMBIT INSIGHTS Opportunities in India
Most chemicals are used as intermediates for final goods. Growth in consumption of chemicals can easily cross 1.5x GDP growth (source: Avalon Consulting) over the next few years. As consumption of final products increases, the chemicals sector will also post strong growth. India is short of chemicals capacities and hence has to import a lot.
Many MNCs present in China are considering shifting their manufacturing base to India or are considering setting up new capacities (expansion projects) In India. Many global chemical companies (especially Japanese, European and Korean) are at various stages of setting up business in India as PE investors, through buyouts or by setting up greenfield capacities. The local Indian companies will also have ample opportunity to grow in their niches/segments.
Most chemical companies were established in India in late 1970s or 1980s. The second generation is (i) more educated; (ii) has global exposure; (iii) is ready to engage with professionals; (iv) has right attitude and technical skills; and (v) is willing to invest in capacities and R&D. Many such companies are ready to expand operations or are in the process of launching new products (like Aarti Industries). In many cases, the second generation is not interested in continuing with the business. These companies represent good targets for PE players.
The Indian government is open to supporting the industry with anti-dumping duties. In cases where India has executed FTA, the government is also open to imposing non-tariff barriers like restrictions in quantum of imports and packaging.
In India too many companies are increasingly under pressure to comply with green regulations. For e.g. many companies in MIDC (Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation) have been forced to shut down. India is also setting up big industrial parks for chemical companies with all facilities needed for efficient running of chemicals units.

Indian SHE compliance: perform or perish Our discussions across experts suggest that SHE (Safety, Health and Emission compliance) is now a key differentiator amongst different companies. India clearly has a lot of SME players in chemicals that are now exiting the business given it has become difficult to operate under tougher compliance for safety, health and emission parameters. Many such companies have also gone under transformation and upgraded themselves over the last few years. Growing exports focus too has clearly helped. Independent ratings such as ecoVadis and Responsible care have become key differentiators for global player to choose their suppliers i n India.

AMBIT INSIGHTS Where do we go from here? We reiterate our Positive stance on the specialty chemicals sector. We believe exports will continue to clock faster growth than the domestic business. Given the pressure to outsource manufacturing is high, due to environmental reasons and cost compulsions, the growth runway for the Indian specialty chemicals industry may last another decade easily. By that time Indian consumption too would start dominating. The high share of China in the chemicals supply chain is also making global players look for alternative supply sources. The key criteria to screen chemicals names are management bandwidth, asset discipline, command over niche chemical processes, global standard manufacturing assets, and ability to innovate in terms of new products and processes. We have four BUYs in the space – PI Industries, SRF Limited, Vinati Organics and Aarti Industries. Exhibit 6: India Chemicals – our top picks Company

AMBIT INSIGHTS
Federal Bank Little visibility on RoE expansion The bank’s net profit grew by 26% YoY to Rs2.60bn, broadly in line with our/consensus estimates. Weakness in fee income (13% YoY) was offset by contained opex growth (4% YoY). NII growth of 20% YoY was in line with our expectation due to loan growth of 22% YoY (on a moderating trend) and stable NIM of 3.3%. While NPA slippage inched up in 3QFY18 due to education/corporate loans, credit costs (at 59bps) were low thanks to recovery/upgrades. CASA growth falling below loan growth and continued pressure on loan yields will challenge NIM. Along with little scope for improvement in fee income generation, the bank’s income profile remains challenged. With little room to improve cost-to-income and credit cost, scope for RoE expansion remains bleak (we expect 11% average RoE over FY1920E). This drives our SELL stance with an unchanged TP of Rs80 (Dec 2018), valuing the bank at 11x FY19E EPS and 1.1x FY19E BVPS.

Results overview: Federal Bank reported net profit of Rs2.60bn (3% below our 1 (11) 29 2 estimate and 1% above consensus estimate). Loan growth moderated somewhat to Rel. to Sensex 22% YoY. With NIM stable (QoQ and YoY), NII growth of 20% YoY was in line with Source: Bloomberg, Ambit Capital research our estimate. Fee income (up 13% YoY) disappointed. Opex grew by a meagre 4% YoY, thanks to no new addition of branches in the last 10 quarters and decline in Ambit Estimates (Rs bn) pension costs (easing yields). Asset quality deteriorated with fresh NPA addition FY18E FY19E FY20E increasing to 2.4% of loans. Marginal slowdown in loan growth – NIMs remain stable: In 3QFY18, loan book grew by 22% YoY, slowing from 29% YoY and 25% YoY in 1QFY18 and 2QFY18, respectively. The corporate segment (40% of loans; up 32% YoY) continued to drive growth. Retail loans (38% of loans) were up 18% YoY. CASA deposits grew by 4% QoQ, leading to CASA ratio being flat QoQ at 33%. NIM was stable YoY and QoQ at 3.3%. NII, thus, grew by 20% YoY, in line with our estimate.

Subdued operating profitability: Fee income (up 13% YoY) was muted at 0.6% of average assets. Thanks to no branch expansion in last three years and decrease in pension cost (due to rising bond yields), the bank contained its opex growth at 4% YoY. Operating profits grew by 18% YoY (in line with our estimates). At ~1.8% of average assets, operating profitability of the bank stays subdued. Asset quality surprises negatively: Fresh additions to NPA increased to Rs4.1bn from Rs2.8bn in 2QFY18. Education loan NPAs (Rs710mn) in retail book, corporate slippages (Rs980mn) drove the increase. However, recovery/upgrades limited gross NPA growth to 11% QoQ. Credit costs were at ~58bps vs 71bps in 2QFY18. Where do we go from here? While the overall reported numbers were largely in line with our estimates, increase in NPA slippage surprised negatively. The management expects similar level of slippages in 4QFY18. Operating performance, in line with our expectation, was subdued. With the target of 20-25% loan growth, the underlying CASA growth are likely to stay slower with pressure on loan yields and little signs of improvement in fee income franchise. Our negative view on the bank has largely been predicated on weak income profile of the bank. The bank struggles on loan yields and fee income generation, despite the benefit of low cost of funds due to a respectable liability franchise. Thus, while the bank continues to maintain high loan growth, RoA appears to be capped below 1%, due to little scope for further improvement on credit c osts and opex front. We have cut our FY19-20E EPS estimates by 5-6% to reflect weakness in the income profile. We expect 20% loan CAGR over FY19-20E along with average RoA and RoE of 0.9% and 11%, respectively.
