RIL reported lower 3QFY12 net income at `44.4 bn (-22.1% qoq and -13.6% yoy) versus our estimate of `47 bn. The weak results reflect (1) sharp decline in refining margins, (2) lower production from KG D-6 block and (3) weak performance of the chemical segment. RIL’s Board has approved a buy-back program of up to 120 mn shares at a price of up to `870/share. We retain our BUY rating and 12-month SOTP-based target price of `925/share for RIL.

RIL’s 3QFY12 EBITDA declined 26% qoq and 23.7% yoy to `72.9 bn led by (1) lower refining margins at US$6.8/bbl (–US$3.3/bbl qoq and –US$2.2/bbl yoy), (2) lower production from KG D-6 block and (3) weaker performance of the chemical segment. We note that the operational results were helped to some extent by a weaker Rupee at `51/US$ versus `45.8/US$ in 2QFY12. A sharp increase in other income (+56% qoq, +132% yoy) offset weak operating performance. Price (Rs): 793 Target price (Rs): 925 BSE-30: 16,739 QUICK NUMBERS • Buy-back program of 120 mn shares at a price of up to `870/share • US$9/bbl of refining margins in 9MFY12; US$6.8/bbl in 3QFY12 • 17% potential upside from current levels Qoq decline in EBIT across all segments 3QFY12 chemical segment EBIT declined 10.9% qoq to `21.6 bn reflecting (1) lower margins and (2) likely lower polyester sales volumes. RIL‘s refining segment EBIT declined by 45.2% qoq to `16.9 bn led by sharply lower refining margins at US$6.8/bbl (–US$3.3/bbl qoq). Crude throughput increased to 17.3 mn tons (+0.2 mn tons qoq). E&P segment EBIT declined 15.5% qoq to `12.9 bn led by (1) lower production from KG-D6 block and (2) lower share of production post the completion of RIL-BP transaction. KG D-6 gas production (gross basis) was lower at 40.9 mcm/d in 3QFY12 versus 45.3 mcm/d in 2QFY12 and 54.5 mcm/d in 3QFY11. Sizable buy-back program will likely provide support to stock price RIL’s Board approved a buy-back program of up to 120 mn shares at a price of up to `870/share resulting in a maximum consideration of `104.4 bn. We view this is as a positive step, in that it shows the management’s intention to return cash to shareholders. The buy-back program will also provide a floor of `800-825, in our view. The ADVT for RIL stock is 5.2 mn shares. Retain BUY and TP; cut earnings for FY2012-14E We retain our BUY rating and 12-month SOTP-based TP of `925. We have cut our FY2012-14E EPS to `64, `68 and `69 from `70, `76 and `77 previously to reflect (1) 3QFY12 results, (2) lower margins for refining and petchem segments, (3) lower KG D-6 production and (4) other minor changes. We note that higher cash balance (lower capex) and use of modestly higher multiples (lower/mid-cycle margins assumed now) offset the impact of lower EBITDA in our SOTP-based valuation model.

RIL’s 3QFY12 EBITDA declined 26% qoq and 23.7% yoy to `72.9 bn led by (1) lower refining margins, (2) lower production from KG D-6 block and (3) weaker performance of the chemical segment. 3QFY12 net income declined 22.1% qoq and 13.6% yoy to `44.4 bn. Other income. Other income increased 55.8% qoq to `17.2 bn reflecting higher cash balance in 3QFY12. RIL had cash and cash equivalents of `754 bn at endDecember 2011 versus `615 bn at end-September 2011. Interest expense. 3QFY12 interest expense increased to `6.9 bn compared to `6.6 bn in 2QFY12; gross interest expense including interest capitalized of `1.1 bn was `8.1 bn. RIL’s implied interest rate was 4.3% in 9MFY12 and 4.3% in FY2011. Exhibit 2 shows our computation of RIL’s implied borrowing cost over the past few quarters.

RIL has not provided breakdown of depreciation and depletion separately. Taxation. RIL’s 3QFY12 effective tax rate was 22.6% compared to 22.1% in 2QFY12 and 19.5% in 3QFY11. We note that RIL continues to provide for tax at the MAT rate of 20% for gas produced from its KG D-6 block. Net debt. RIL’s end-3QFY12 net debt stood at –`0.4 bn against `99 bn at end2QFY12 reflecting `72 bn of gross cash flow generation (net profit + DDA + deferred taxation) and receipt of `147 bn of cash received from BP in October 2011. Net capex (adjusted for foreign currency gains or losses on foreign currency loans) was `58 bn in the quarter. We note that net capex includes (1) actual cash capex (not disclosed for 3QFY12) and (2) increase in gross block due to capitalization of increase in foreign currency loans due to depreciation in the value of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar. The company has disclosed cash capex of `48.4 bn for 9MFY12, significantly lower than reported net capex of `124.6 bn. However, we would note that the net debt figure would capture the movement in foreign currency loans also due to movement in currencies of foreign currency loans relative to the reporting currency. Exhibit 3 gives details of movement in net debt over the past few quarters and years. 4 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Reliance Industries Energy Movement in net debt position of Reliance Industries is difficult to reconcile due to limited information Computed net debt, March fiscal year-ends, 2009-12YTD (` bn) Beginning net debt as disclosed by the company (A) Cash infusion from issue of share capital / warrants Cash profit for the given period as reported by the company Capex during the given period Cash received from BP Cash flow for the given period (B) Computed ending net debt (A) - (B) Ending net debt as disclosed by the company Difference in net debt 3QFY12 2QFY12 1QFY12 FY2011 4QFY11 3QFY11 2QFY11 1QFY11 FY2010 FY2009 99 213 250 406 384 388 470 406 517 450 — — — — — — — — — 152 72 88 90 345 88 87 85 85 279 224 (58) (55) (12) (61) (20) (8) 3 (36) (93) (247) 147 85 — 90 90 — — — — — 161 118 78 375 158 79 88 49 186 128 (62) 94 172 32 225 310 382 357 331 322 (0) 99 213 250 250 384 388 470 406 517 61 5 41 218 25 74 7 113 75 195 Notes: (a) Definition of capex is net of forex-related movement and payment of cash to creditors.

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities ` Chemical segment highlights. 3QFY12 EBIT declined 10.9% qoq and 11.2% yoy to `21.6 bn. The qoq decline in performance reflects (1) lower petrochemical margins and (2) likely lower polyester sales (production volumes declined to 375,000 tons versus 414,000 tons in 2QFY12). The performance of the chemical segment was boosted to some extent by a weaker Rupee at `51/US$ versus `45.8/US$ in 2QFY12. Exhibit 4 gives historical quarterly prices and margins since FY2011.

Earnings revisions and key assumptions behind earnings model We have cut our FY2012-14E EPS to `64, `68 and `69 from `70, `76 and `77 previously to reflect (1) 3QFY12 results, (2) lower margins for refining and petchem segments, (3) lower KG D-6 production and (4) other minor changes. We discuss our key assumptions and revisions to our earnings model below. ` Refining margins. We model RIL’s FY2012E, FY2013E and FY2014E refining margins at US$8.8/bbl, US$9.2/bbl and US$9.7/bbl versus US$9/bbl in 9MFY12 and US$8.4/bbl in FY2011. We expect underlying refining margins to improve modestly over the next two years despite likely weakness in global oil demand given lower net refining capacity additions over CY2012-13E. We see lower net refining capacity additions in CY2012-13E led by permanent shutdown of 1.75 mn b/d of refining capacity announced over the past four months (see Exhibit 6). We note that 1.1 mn b/d of net additions to refining capacity (see Exhibit 7) and 0.9 mn b/d of additional NGL supply (see Exhibit 8) in CY2012-13E will fall short of 2.3 mn b/d of incremental global oil demand; also, NGLs cannot directly substitute transportation fuels. We believe potential slowdown in global oil demand will be offset by closure of more inefficient refineries. Exhibit 9 gives our key assumptions for RIL’s refining division. 6 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Reliance Industries Energy Large refining capacity shutdown due to weak operating environment Refining capacity shutdown announced since September 2011 (b/d) Company Hovensa Sunoco ConocoPhillips Sunoco Petroplus Royal Dutch Shell LyondellBasell Industries Royal Dutch Shell Petroplus Petroplus Paramo Total capacity closure Location St Croix Philadelphia Trainer Marcus Hook Petit Couronne Hamburg Berre L'Etang Clyde Cressier Antwerp Pardubice Country US Virgin Islands United States United States United States France Germany France Australia Switzerland Belgium Czech Republic Capacity (b/d) 500,000 335,000 185,000 175,000 154,000 107,000 105,000 85,000 68,000 21,000 20,000 1,755,000 Shutdown from Feb-2012 Jul-2012 Sep-2011 Dec-2011 Jan-2012 2QCY12 Jan-2012 Mid-2013 Jan-2012 Jan-2012 Dec-2011 Source: Industry Journals, Kotak Institutional Equities We see lower ‘net’ capacity additions in CY2012E due to recent shutdowns World refinery capacity additions (net), calendar year-ends, 2007-13E ('000 b/d) OECD North America OECD Europe OECD Pacific FSU Non-OECD Europe China Other Asia Latin America Middle East Africa Total World 2007 240 — — — — — 315 — 77 — 632 2008 — 30 — 84 — 206 65 — 226 6 616 2009 (124) (270) (57) — — 446 790 (235) 179 6 735 2010 (211) (121) (17) 140 (70) 560 229 50 70 — 630 2011 164 (89) — — — 266 140 85 95 60 721 2012E (142) (335) (20) 203 — 310 440 (350) 70 30 206 2013E — — (85) 39 — 440 40 393 — 20 847 Source: OGJ, Downstream, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 7 Energy Reliance Industries We see risks to global oil demand growth given uncertain macro-environment Estimated global crude demand, supply and prices, calendar year-ends, 2005-15E Demand (mn b/d) Total demand Yoy growth Supply (mn b/d) Non-OPEC Yoy growth OPEC Crude NGLs Total OPEC Total supply Total stock change OPEC crude capacity Implied OPEC spare capacity Demand growth (yoy, %) Supply growth (yoy, %) Non-OPEC OPEC Total Dated Brent (US$/bbl) World GDP growth (%) 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012E 2013E 2014E 2015E 84.6 2.1 85.6 1.0 87.1 1.5 86.5 (0.6) 85.6 (0.9) 88.3 2.7 89.0 0.7 90.0 1.0 91.2 1.2 92.5 1.2 93.6 1.1 50.0 1.2 50.4 0.4 50.7 0.4 50.6 (0.1) 51.6 1.0 52.6 1.1 52.7 0.0 53.7 1.0 54.0 0.3 54.4 0.4 55.6 1.1 30.6 4.2 34.8 84.8 0.2 30.9 4.3 35.2 85.6 (0.0) 30.7 4.3 35.0 85.8 (1.3) 34.4 2.4 31.6 4.5 36.2 86.8 0.2 34.2 2.7 29.2 4.9 34.1 85.6 0.1 34.9 5.8 29.5 5.4 34.8 87.5 (0.8) 35.7 5.5 30.5 5.8 36.3 89.0 30.0 6.4 36.3 90.0 30.6 6.7 37.3 91.2 31.2 6.9 38.0 92.5 30.8 7.2 38.1 93.6 34.7 4.2 35.5 5.5 36.4 5.8 37.0 5.9 37.8 7.0 2.5 1.2 1.8 (0.7) (1.0) 3.2 0.8 1.2 1.4 1.3 1.2 2.4 3.3 1.7 0.8 1.0 0.9 0.7 (0.5) 0.2 (0.3) 3.3 1.2 1.9 (5.8) (1.3) 2.1 2.2 2.1 0.1 4.2 1.7 1.9 0.1 1.2 0.6 2.6 1.4 0.8 2.1 1.3 2.1 0.0 1.2 54.4 4.6 65.8 5.2 79.7 111.1 107.0 101.3 5.0 3.9 3.9 4.4 92.5 4.6 90.0 4.7 72.7 102.0 5.3 2.8 62.1 (0.7) Source: IEA, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates Major assumptions of refinery division, March fiscal year-ends, 2007-14E (US$/bbl) RIL refinery Rupee-dollar exchange rate Import tariff on crude (%) Refinery yield (per bbl of crude throughput) Cost of inputs (per bbl of crude throughput) Net refining margin Crude throughput (mn tons) Fuel and loss-own fuel used (%) Fuel & loss equivalent-gas used (%) SEZ refinery Import tariff on crude (%) Refinery yield (per bbl of crude throughput) Cost of inputs (per bbl of crude throughput) Net refining margin Crude throughput (mn tons) Fuel and loss-own fuel used (%) Fuel & loss equivalent-gas used (%) Blended refining margin (US$/bbl) Total crude throughput (mn tons) 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012E 2013E 2014E 45.3 5.1 75.2 63.5 11.7 31.8 8.0 40.3 2.4 98.1 83.1 15.0 31.8 8.0 45.8 1.3 104.8 92.6 12.2 32.0 8.0 47.4 1.1 83.1 76.3 6.8 32.0 6.0 2.0 45.6 5.4 96.5 88.6 7.8 33.3 6.0 2.0 48.7 1.7 128.7 120.8 7.8 34.3 6.0 2.0 52.5 0.5 118.4 110.2 8.2 34.0 6.0 2.0 51.0 0.5 113.1 104.5 8.6 34.0 6.0 2.0 — 70.5 64.2 6.3 28.9 6.5 2.0 6.6 60.9 0.6 91.5 82.6 9.0 33.3 6.5 2.0 8.4 66.6 0.7 127.7 117.9 9.8 33.3 6.5 2.0 8.8 67.6 0.5 118.5 108.2 10.2 34.0 6.5 2.0 9.2 68.0 0.5 113.3 102.5 10.8 34.0 6.5 2.0 9.7 68.0 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates ` ` ` 8 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Reliance Industries Energy ` Chemical margins.

We model FY2012E, FY2013E and FY2014E gas production from KG D-6 block at 43 mcm/d, 38 mcm/d and 38 mcm/d. We do not rule out downside risks to our gas volumes estimates for FY2013E and FY2014E given the recent decline in gas production to ~38 mcm/d. We estimate oil production from RIL’s MA-1 fields at 15,600 b/d in FY2012E, 14,000 b/d in FY2013E and 14,000 b/d in FY2014E versus 16,182 b/d in 9MFY12. ` Other income. We model RIL’s other income to likely grow strongly over the next few years driven by its increasing cash pile. We expect RIL to generate `787 bn of gross cash flow and `867 bn of free cash flow in FY2012-14E. The quantum of other income will depend on (1) RIL’s dividend policy; RIL has followed a conservative dividend pay-out policy historically, (2) amount returned to the shareholders in the proposed buy-back program, (3) acquisitions and (4) capex, which would depend on new E&P discoveries and kick-start of new petrochemical projects. ` Taxation. We assume effective tax rate at 22.4%, 22.8% and 23.1% for FY2012E, FY2013E and FY2014E versus 22.2% in 9MFY12 and 19.6% in FY2011. We assume that RIL will continue to avail of income tax exemption on gas production from KG D-6 block and prepare our forecasts accordingly.

We value RIL’s refining segment at `310/share based on 5.5X FY2013E EBITDA (previously 5X EBITDA). The higher multiple reflects our downward revision to refining margin assumptions. We typically use 6-6.5X EV/EBITDA for mid-cycle margins. We estimate refining segment EBITDA of `168 bn in FY2013E based on refining margins of US$9.2/bbl. We expect refining margins to improve from 3QFY12 levels given improvement in global benchmark refining margins led by capacity shutdowns of 1.75 mn b/d over the past four months; more will likely follow. ` Petrochemical segment. We value RIL’s petrochemical segment at `199/share based on 6X FY2013E EBITDA (previously 5X EBITDA). We have cut chemical margins significantly and our margin assumptions are well below mid-cycle levels. We estimate petrochemical segment EBITDA of `99 bn in FY2013E (`110 bn in FY2012E and `108 bn in FY2011) based on lower petchem margins versus FY2012E levels. ` Upstream segment. We value RIL’s upstream segment at `179/share based on DCF for the key blocks. We note that KG D-6 block contributes `116/share based on 11.8 tcf of gross recoverable reserves and NEC-25 block contributes `15/share based on 1.9 tcf of gross recoverable reserves. We do not ascribe any value to other discovered blocks such as GS-01, KG D-3 and KG D-9. ` Investments, loans and advances and other businesses. We value retail business at `14/share based on 0.8X book value. Other investments and capital WIP contribute `120/share at 1X book value. We do not ascribe any value to loans and advances (unlike previously) noting the nebulous nature of such loans and advances and weak disclosures on the same.

While volume growth was below expectations, it is on the back of ~9% volume growth in 2QFY12 and a high base (3QFY11 was the best quarter in FY2011). The industry (including ITC) likely had higher primary sales in 2QFY12 due to implementation of new pictoral warnings in December 2011 (the pictures are relatively more impactful) in our view. ` Other FMCG sales grew by 25% yoy driven by packaged food, personal care and stationary. Hotels business witnessed muted sales growth of 3% due to the overall slowdown in the macro economic environment. Agri sales increased by 10% driven by higher tobacco leaf and wheat sales and paperboard sales increased by 12%. ` Cigarette margins improved 247 bps to 31.7% likely on account of mix improvement and benefit of price hikes taken, so far. In our view, the company has taken price hike of ~10% in Classic, ~15% in Wills and ~15% in Gold Flake Kings (GFK) in anticipation of an excise hike in the Budget. The benefit of the price hikes in terms of higher margins will likely remain in 4QFY12E as well. Other FMCG loss was significantly lower than expectations at Rs466 mn - mix improvement in favor of value added products in the food segment and phasing benefit of certain costs (likely launch expense of skin care, men’s grooming, talcum powder) would have likely aided this. ` Other income increased +40% likely on account of higher yields.

Consumer products ITC Retain ADD We retain earnings estimates (EPS of Rs8.0 and Rs9.1 for FY2012E and FY2013E, respectively); maintain ADD rating and TP of Rs230. Our underlying themes on ITC are intact, (1) strong EPS CAGR of ~18% over FY2011-13E, (2) likely improvement in RoCE and (3) potential for higher dividend payout. Key risks are (1) unexpected higher losses in other FMCG, (2) any unprecedented increase in overall taxation impact. What to look out for? ` It is that time of the year. With less than two months to the central budget, there is strong apprehension regarding significant excise hike in cigarettes. While we share the same concern, we are not overtly worried on its impact on ITC as it has already started taking calibrated price hikes across brands. In our view, with the price increases taken in Classic, Wills, GFK and in regular size filter segment (RSFT), ITC has likely created buffers for a potential ~10% excise increase. Considering the addictive nature of cigarettes and the associated consumer behavior, predictability in taxation (and hence calibrated price increases) is the key for industry volumes. In our view, the unpredictability with respect to excise rate regime in case of ITC is similar to the raw material price fluctuation concern in case of other consumer companies. ` Impact of pictoral warnings. We await the impact of the new pictoral warnings issued in December 2011. These are relatively more meaningful than the older ones – this is directionally negative for ITC as it shows intent of the government to make the warnings more impactful. However the warnings continue to be subtle than the ones present internationally. ` Trend in other FMCG losses. The company is targeting to achieve breakeven in the other FMCG business by end of FY2013E. In that context, trend in losses over the next few quarters will be key. ` New brand launches in cigarettes. Over the last quarter, the company has launched three new brands - Players, Classic Citric Twist and Hero. Players has been launched at Rs50 for a pack of 10 likely to plug the gap between Wills (Rs44 for a pack of 10) and GFK (Rs55 for a pack of 10). In our view, there have not been any major brand launches in cigarettes in the past and this brand is likely a ‘make-shift arrangement’ to plug in price gaps as the company has taken price hikes in its existing brands. Classic Citric Twist is a KSFT brand launched on the lines of Menthol Rush. It was introduced for a short period and then withdrawn.

Wipro reported a strong 3QFY12; the company exceeded upper end of constant currency guidance, tightened execution and reduced working capital cycle. 4QFY12 revenue growth guidance is also encouraging. Benefits of reorganization are finally showing up in numbers. Growth has converged with peers in a seasonally weak quarter; Wipro has laid the right platform to converge/exceed growth compared to peers in seasonally strong quarters. Valuations, however, already build in the turnaround. ADD with end-FY2013E target price of Rs460/share (Rs450 earlier).

Constant currency revenue growth of 4.5% was higher than the company guidance of 4% at the upper end. Performance was boosted by recovery of slippages in fixed price projects. This drove 2.9% onsite and 2.3% offshore pricing increase qoq in reported currency and 4.3% and 3.6% qoq in constant currency. Volume growth was a modest 1.8%. Revenue growth was broad-based. Net income of Rs14.6 bn was 3% ahead of our estimates led by a mix of EBITDA beat and below EBITDA line positive surprise. IT services EBIT margin improves 80 bps qoq, 280 bps on comparable basis with peers Reported OPM of Wipro increased 80 bps qoq to 20.8%. Wipro includes gains/ losses of designated hedging in the revenue line; adjusted for this number, OPM increased 280 bps qoq to 22.1%. Operating margin was aided by (1) improvement in FPP execution and claw-back of slippages in the earlier quarters and (2) depreciation of Rupee against US$. These gains were offset by (1) a 90 bps qoq increase in SG&A spending and (2) a sharp decline in utilization. Encouraging revenue growth guidance of 1-3% for 4QFY12 Wipro has guided for global IT services revenues of US$1.52–1.55 bn for 4QFY12, implying 1-3% revenue growth qoq, encouraging in our view and reassuring from a sector standpoint, especially after mixed commentary from TCS and weak 4QFY12 revenue growth guidance from Infosys. Reorganization delivering results though built into valuations Wipro trades at a premium on EV/EBITDA to Infosys and marginal discount to TCS. Taking into consideration relatively weaker FCF/EBITDA conversion, Wipro ends up trading at premium on normalized EV/FCF and on par to Infosys on P/E. Premium valuations require leadership and sustainability of growth; Wipro has made a good beginning. Our ADD rating within the positive view on tier-1 IT, implies discomfort on assigning premium valuations even as absolute upside is enough to justify a positive view on Wipro. ADD with a target price of Rs460/ share. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Wipro Technology Balance sheet quality improves after sharp deterioration in past two quarters Receivables collection cycle at 104 days is an improvement from 107 days for consolidated business at end-September. This is a good beginning in our view though further efforts would be required to bring it in line with the rest of the industry. Net working capital cycle still remains high at 72 days and requires considerable improvement, in our view. Aggressive hedging continues Wipro has hedges of US$1.7 bn equivalent to two quarters of net cash inflows. These hedges exclude balance sheet-related hedges. Wipro has not disclosed the average rate of hedges though it would have moved closer to the spot rate. The company has OCI loss on Rs5.45 bn on the balance sheet (MTM at spot Re/US$ rate of 53+ forward premium). Good improvement in key client metrics Wipro has made good and sustained strides in client mining for the past few quarters, a key area of weakness relative to peers in the past. This has, in our view, played an important role in the company’s improved relative sequential growth versus peers in the past couple of quarters. Wipro now has six US$100 mn+ accounts versus one in the Dec 2010 quarter. Similar positive traction appears in other client buckets as well. Other details and highlights from the earnings call ` Consolidated revenues of Rs100 bn came in 2% ahead of our estimate driven by revenue beat in the non-IT segments. Reported consolidated EBIT of Rs17.2 bn (+15.9% qoq, +20.1% yoy) and net income of Rs14.6 bn (+12% qoq, +10.5% yoy) beat estimates as well. ` The Wipro management indicated flat overall IT budgets for CY2012E with variation across sectors. It identified pharma/ healthcare, energy and utilities, TSP/media, and retail as strong, retail banking and manufacturing as modest, and investment banking/ TEMs as weak spots heading into CY2012E. ` Even as the Wipro management concurred with peer group commentary on some slowdown in discretionary spends, it emphasized that delays in discretionary project starts are limited to small programs. It has not seen slowdown in large strategic programs. ` The Wipro management characterized pricing environment as stable and pipeline as healthy even as pipeline conversion has slowed down marginally in recent months. ` Wipro ended Dec 2011 with net P&L hedges of US$1.7 bn, largely flat versus end-Sep 2011. ` Wipro hired a net 5,004 employees in its IT services business during the quarter taking the end-Dec 2011 total headcount to 136,734. We note that Sep 2011 and Dec 2011 together form the strongest two consecutive quarters of hiring (defined as % addition over two-quarter-prior base) for Wipro since June 2010. Even as it reflects improved relative growth momentum at Wipro, we also see it as a healthy indicator of industry demand in the context of subdued expectations on the Street.

Hindustan Zinc (HZ) reported EBITDA of Rs14 bn (-7% yoy), in line with estimates, and net income of Rs12.7 bn, marginally below our estimates. COP of zinc increased further to Rs40,300/tonne. Silver content of 115 ppm in SK ore is disappointing and cannot support silver production target. Our EBITDA estimates increase after building revised Re/US$ rate. Maintain ADD rating with a target price of Rs150; stock trades at inexpensive 4.2X FY2013E EBITDA.

Refined zinc-lead production grew 9.6% qoq to 220 kt. (Note that HZ took the annual plant shutdown in 2QFY12). COP of zinc increased 13% yoy and 3.9% qoq to Rs40,300/tonne; this was led by increase in power costs and lower ore grade at Rampura Agucha mine. Ore grade of Rampura Agucha mine dipped below 13% in the quarter as compared to average grade of 14.3%. This hurt mined metal production which dipped to 209 kt, down 6% yoy. Rampura Agucha mine to move underground starting FY2013E The Rampura Agucha mine may move underground starting FY2013E in a phased manner over a period of four years. Production mix will steadily tilt from open cast currently to underground mining. The management does not expect production from this mine to be impacted and expects open case and underground operations to be run simultaneously. Cost of mining may increase to US$350/tonne from US$280/tonne during this phase, per management. Commissions new silver refinery but may remain underutilized till silver grade in ore improves HZ commissioned its 350 tpa silver refinery in Jan 2012. Production ramp-up may take 3-6 months. This comes on the back of commissioning of the 100 ktpa Dariba Lead smelter in 2QFY12 and ramp-up of Sindesar Khurd (SK) ore mining capacity to 2 mtpa (1.5 mtpa run-rate currently) by end-FY2012E. However, weak silver grade of 115 ppm from the ore currently mined at Sindesar Khurd continues to be well below expectations. At this grade, maximum refined silver production would be 341 tonnes. The HZ management expects higher silver grade ore on further drilling and move to the indicated grade of 180 ppm (will support 419 tonnes of overall silver production) by FY2013E. We model silver production of 363 tonnes in FY2013E and 402 tonnes in FY2014E. Maintain ADD with TP of Rs150 Trading at 4.2X FY2013E EBITDA and 8.6X FY2013E P/E, we find HZ valuations attractive. Maintain ADD rating with a revised target price of Rs150. We value HZ at 5.5X FY2013E EBITDA. Our valuation multiple captures risks of imposition of mining tax in FY2013E.

Metals & Mining Hindustan Zinc Key changes to our estimates We retain our FY2012-14E zinc price assumption of US$2,050/2,025/2,300/tonne respectively. Our FY2013-14E EBITDA estimates change by 1-4%. Key changes to our estimates are led by (1) revision in our economist’s FY2012-14E Re/US$ rate assumption to Rs48.7, Rs52.5 and Rs50, down from Rs47.3, Rs49.8 and Rs48.5 earlier and (2) increase in cost of production estimate by 1-3%.

We expect zinc prices to remain rangebound in the short term, but believe it has the potential to spike sharply towards 2HFY13E and beyond. Near-term prices may be weighed by sharp production ramp-up leading to spike in inventory. LME zinc inventory has increased 10% in the last month to around 839K tonnes (refer Exhibit 2). However, prices may increase starting 2HFY13E led by a likely decline in production and exhaustion of few large mines.

This smelter is in the process of ramping up and is currently operating at 70% capacity utilization which the company expects to improve to 80% by end-FY2012E. However, the concentrate feed from HZ mines will likely be lower than expanded lead smelting capacity. HZ would have to import lead concentrate to make full use of expanded capacity until it has the capabilities and clearances to mine additional lead concentrate. ` The ramp-up of the Sindesar Khurd mine, critical to HZ’s silver production target, is on track and the company expects an FY2012E exit capacity of 2 mtpa. SK mine is currently operating at a run-rate of around 1.5 mn tonnes. ` The company has also commenced mining-related work at the Kayar mine, an underground mine (with average zinc grade of around 10-11%) with reserves and resources estimates at 11mn tonnes. The company currently has environmental clearance approval of 0.35 mn tonnes and expects to commence commercial ore production in FY2014E. ` The company commissioned 135 MW out of the planned 150 MW wind power generation expansion, the company expects to commission the balance capacity in early 4QFY12E. Highlights from 3QFY12 earnings conference call ` Having recently commissioned 350 tpa at Pantnagar in Uttrakhand, the company is confident of achieving silver production ramp-up of around 400-450 tonnes in FY2013E from 180 tonnes in FY2011. ` HZ’s 3QFY12 net zinc metal cost of production (excluding royalty) increased 13% yoy to Rs40,300/tonne (US$785/tonne). However, the management expects this cost to trend down over the next couple of quarters through operational efficiencies and tighter control. ` The company is currently operating only one out of the four mines in Zawar which is not located in any forest areas and is currently awaiting Supreme Court nod for operating the other three mines which are located in forest areas. ` The company expects FY2013E capex to be in excess of Rs10 bn. ` The cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 stood at Rs163 bn. Cash generation was weak since the company did not resort to discounting of debtors in this quarter.

Axis Bank’s earnings growth of 24% yoy was supported by healthy revenue growth of 24% and lower-than-expected provisions. Concerns on asset quality performance seem to be addressed for now with slippages stable at 1.5% and flat outstanding restructured assets at 1.5% of assets. Tier-1 ratio is comfortable at 9.5% levels but strong growth in 4Q would result in faster capital consumption – a key overhang. Despite the strong performance, we revise estimates downwards to factor higher revenue pressure and rise in credit costs in FY2013-14E. We maintain BUY with TP of `1,350 (from `1,500).

We expect Axis Bank to deliver 8% earnings CAGR for FY2012-14E and RoEs in the range of 17-18% levels. Valuations are not demanding at 10X EPS and 1.7X FY2013E book; we maintain our BUY rating. We, however, revise our TP to `1,350 to factor 10-14% revision in earnings for FY2013-14E due to (1) expected slowdown in fee income, mainly on the corporate segment and (2) higher provisions in light of the current economic environment. Loan-loss provisions are currently at about 70 bps, one of the lowest in the past five years. We believe that Axis Bank needs to raise capital to strengthen its balance sheet against any sharp deterioration in asset quality and support business growth during FY2012-14E. We expect Axis Bank’s tier-1 ratio at closer to 8.5-8.7% levels by March 2012E. Notably, tier-1 ratio (including retained earnings) was 9.6% in December 2012; however, strong balance sheet growth in 4QFY12E and dividend payout of 17% will pull down its CAR. Inability to raise adequate capital over the next few quarters is likely to pose risks to expected balance sheet growth and underwriting of non-fund-based business (which generates fees) as well. Margins performance healthy; but expect compression as loan composition shifts in 4Q NIM for the quarter was stable at 3.8% on the back of better asset yields which offset the rise in cost of deposits. NII grew by 24% yoy. Yield on advances (KS calc) improved 20 bps while yield on investments (KS calc) improved by 40 bps. Cost of funds increased by 15 bps qoq. However, we believe that NIMs have peaked and is likely to decline (expect to decline by 20-25 bps over the next two quarters) as the composition of assets shifts towards low-yielding priority sector loans in 4Q/1QFY13E. On the positive side, overall CD ratio is fairly comfortable at 71% levels which should cushion any sharp impact on NIMs. As compared to previous years, the bank’s ability to raise priority sector loans would remain a challenge as select avenues have dried up with the new regulation and base rate creates a floor to buyout loans. . For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Banks/Financial Institutions Axis Bank Asset quality trends broadly stable; coverage ratio (including write-offs) stable qoq Axis Bank reported a better-than-expected performance on asset quality with gross NPLs flat qoq aided partly by higher write-offs for the quarters. Slippages were broadly similar to 2QFY12 at 1.5% levels while the outstanding restructured assets were flat qoq at 1.5%. The management highlighted that restructured loan proposals have not increased sharply in recent months which comes as a positive surprise given the loan proposals at the CDR forum. Upgradation and recoveries were higher at `1.2 bn (against `1.6 bn in September 2011) but the bank wrote-off lower loans of about `2.4 bn, resulting in stable gross NPLs qoq. Provision coverage (calculated) has declined to 64% from 69% in 2QFY12 but reported coverage ratio (including write-offs) has remained stable at 75% (77% in 2QFY12). Higher write-offs made during the quarter have resulted in the divergence in reported numbers. Gross NPLs were at `19.1 bn (1.1% of loans) while net NPLs were at `6.8 bn (0.4% of loans) compared to `17.4 bn and `5.5 bn respectively in the previous quarter. Loan-loss provisions for the quarter were at 1% (annualized) as the bank wrote off higher loans of 0.7% (annualized) in the current quarter. We would continue to remain cautious and expect higher slippages/restructured loans over the next few quarters. We are building loan-loss provisions to increase to 1.3% and slippages at 2-2.2% levels for FY2013-14E. Loan growth muted at 5%; expect strong growth in 4Q as the bank builds priority sector portfolio Axis Bank reported a loan growth of 20% yoy though YTD growth remains fairly muted at 5%. The bank has accelerated lending on the retail portfolio (32% yoy) primarily driven by secured loans – housing (48% yoy, 75% of retail loans) and auto (56% yoy, 13% of retail loans). Corporate loans grew by 19% yoy and SME loans by 21% while agriculture loan growth was flat. We do note that the bank is increasingly looking at diversifying its exposure in the corporate segment. The exposure of the top 10 sectors (funded) has declined to 44% levels from 63% in 3QFY11. Overall we expect loan growth to be above-industry average for FY2012E as the bank focuses on building a priority sector portfolio in 4Q. Deposits increased by 33% yoy (7% qoq). CASA ratio declined by 60 bps qoq to 41% compared to 42% in September 2011. 36 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Axis Bank Banks/Financial Institutions Axis Bank has significant exposure to infrastructure-related assets Break-up of top exposure (funded), March fiscal year-ends, 3QFY07-3QFY12 (%) Chemicals Financial companies Textiles Real Estate Retail trade Gems & jewellery Food processing Metals and metal products Power generation and distributio Infrastructure Telecom Shipping and logistics Engineering and electronics Petrochemicals and petroleum p Total of 10 top sectors 3QFY09 4QFY09 1QFY10 2QFY10 3QFY10 4QFY10 1QFY11 2QFY11 3QFY11 4QFY11 1QFY12 2QFY12 3QFY12 3.4 3.4 — — — — 3.1 2.9 — — 3.2 1.9 1.6 10.6 10.3 9.6 9.5 10.1 11.0 9.5 12.6 13.3 14.3 12.2 10.7 8.0 6.0 5.5 5.8 5.8 5.4 4.5 — — — — — — — 8.2 7.7 8.0 7.3 4.0 5.4 — 5.4 5.7 — — 3.7 3.8 5.7 5.4 5.3 5.7 5.8 6.5 4.5 4.4 4.4 4.5 4.4 3.8 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.4 — — — — — — — — — — — — — 4.5 5.3 6.4 4.8 — 4.1 4.4 6.1 4.2 4.3 7.6 6.6 6.8 6.2 5.7 6.0 6.0 6.6 7.5 7.4 7.2 5.8 5.2 — — — 3.4 5.3 5.1 6.0 5.2 5.4 5.7 5.5 5.1 5.2 8.3 7.9 9.0 8.8 8.3 8.2 9.1 9.4 9.5 8.2 8.6 7.1 7.2 3.2 3.6 2.7 3.4 — — 10.1 9.7 6.7 5.0 3.3 — — — — — 4.3 3.7 — — 3.8 — 2.9 — — 2.7 — — — — — 2.9 2.5 2.7 3.1 3.7 4.2 3.3 3.3 — — — — — 2.7 2.4 — 3.1 3.3 1.9 1.5 — 56.0 52.9 49.6 58.9 53.6 58.7 57.9 62.7 62.7 59.3 56.7 46.9 44.7 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities Strong fee income despite corporate activity slowing down Axis Bank reported a strong fee income growth of 30% yoy on the back of healthy contribution from the corporate business. Growth in fees from corporate-related business grew by 34% yoy (35% of the overall fee income) while retail fee income (25% of the overall fees) grew by 15% yoy. Treasury and debt capital market-related fee income grew by 43% yoy. Treasury gains for the quarter were fairly strong at `1.2 bn primarily from proprietary trading positions in foreign exchange markets. We are currently building fee income to grow marginally lower than balance sheet growth. Other highlights for the quarter ` Cost-income ratio was at 42%. The bank opened 47 branches and 730 ATMs in 3QFY11. ` Overall capital adequacy is at 11.8% (13.1% including profits) with tier-1 at 8.3% (9.6% including profits). Given the strong growth in balance sheet expected in 4Q and the dividend payout of about 17% levels, we expect tier-1 ratio at closer to 8.5% levels.

We downgrade Ultratech (UTCEM) to REDUCE (ADD previously), as in our view the current trading multiples (US$172/ton) continue to bank on a sustained pricing discipline while ignoring (1) rising cost pressure, (2) a weak demand environment and (3) a prolonged capacity overhang. We maintain our target price of Rs1,220—implying a trading multiple of 7.5X on FY2013E earnings.

Volumes, realization and profitability were in line with our estimates while net income beat estimate by 17%, driven by (1) higher-than-estimated other income due to Rs666 mn of prior-period subsidies and (2) lower-than-estimated interest cost due to a Rs384 mn subsidy from State Investment Promotion Scheme. We discuss the operational performance in detail in a subsequent section. Seasonal improvement in profitability, though headwinds exist UTCEM registered a strong 53% sequential jump in profitability driven by (1) 8% (Rs17/bag) increase in realizations and (2) stable operating costs. Cement prices, on average, increased by Rs16-17/bag sequentially (with some moderation in December) after weakness during the monsoon months. Prices in South India (~25% of UTCEM sales) were stable at Rs280-285/bag through the quarter despite monsoon months in the south. Volume growth of 2% yoy and 8% qoq was lower than the industry average of 11% and 9% respectively. We remain watchful of the potential increase in power and fuel costs due to a revision in the pricing structure as announced by Coal India. We factor an increase in power and fuel costs by ~Rs100/ton in FY2013. Downgrade to REDUCE noting limited upside, cost pressure We downgrade UTCEM to REDUCE (from ADD) noting limited potential upside to our target price of Rs1,220. In our view, risks to earnings from (1) lower-than-estimated demand, (2) continued demand-supply imbalance and (3) continued cost pressure outweigh the benefits of a potentially continued pricing discipline. UTCEM trades at EV/ton of US$172/ton and EV/EBTDA of 7.5X on FY2013E capacity and earnings respectively. We have revised our FY2012/13E EPS estimates by 5% and -2.4% to account for improved realizations and inflation in fuel costs respectively. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Cement UltraTech Cement Volume spurt in 3QFY12 due to low base, environment remains challenging Industry volumes grew by an impressive 20% and 14% yoy in November and December (11% in 3QFY11) respectively. We however note that this was likely due to the impact of post-monsoon pent-up demand, magnified by lower bases. We therefore remain watchful of the demand environment and do not construe this as a structural shift in the demand pattern. Further, overall operating environment remains challenging with (1) utilization rates unlikely to revive even in FY2013 and (2) potential cost inflation driven by an impending diesel price hike and shift in pricing structure by Coal India.

Sequential increase in blended realization was due to a sharp seasonal rebound in prices after the weakness during monsoon months. ` Power and fuel cost: UTCEM’s power and fuel cost increased to Rs1,116/ton in 3QFY12 (22% yoy, 8% qoq) as moderation in imported coal price was offset by currency depreciation. We expect further inflation in fuel costs in coming quarters due to a change in pricing structure by Coal India in January 2012. 44 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH UltraTech Cement Cement ` Freight cost: Freight cost increased to Rs839/ton in 3QFY12 (13% yoy, 4% qoq). We note that despite a hike in diesel prices in June 2011, truck freight rates have remained fairly stable due to an increased supply of trucks, leading to increased competition, as reflected in moderate sequential inflation in freight cost. ` Raw material costs: Raw material costs declined sequentially to Rs585/ton (18% yoy, -13% qoq).

While APNT’s volumes continue to decelerate (likely ~5% growth ) in 3QFY12, its EBITDA margins (flat yoy) surprised positively—the full impact of Rupee depreciation and higher TiO2 prices will be seen in 1HCY12E while volumes will likely decelerate further. Retain SELL due to (1) expensive valuations and (2) potential for downgrades (our FY2013E earnings estimates are ~10% lower than Street).

Lower sales growth this quarter (trailing four quarters had >24% sales growth) is likely on account of high base as well as slowdown in overall macro-economic environment and steep price increases taken by the company. ` EBITDA margin at 17.2% was commendable – gross margin was flat yoy and qoq at 41% - this is surprising given that titanium dioxide remained inflationary during the quarter and depreciation of INR would have also likely impacted material cost. Marginal savings in staff cost was offset by higher other expenditure – likely higher adspends and freight costs. We expect moderation in EBITDA margins in 1HCY12E—full impact of Rupee depreciation and higher TiO2 prices will be seen in 1HCY12E while volumes will likely decelerate further. ` At a consolidated level, sales growth increased by 22% to Rs25.6 bn and EBITDA increased by 15% to Rs4 bn. Key monitorables ` Sales volume trajectory – In CY2011, volume growth trajectory dipped to 12% in 1QCY11, 11% in 2QCY11, 8% in 3QCY11 and 5% in 4QCY11. As highlighted by us in our earlier note ‘It’s still not late to SELL’, APNT’s volumes have grown at an average 2X GDP growth rate over the last ten years, but during times of GDP deceleration, the impact on rate of growth is potentially higher. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Consumer products Asian Paints ` Margin trend – key inputs like Titanium dioxide, mineral turpentine oil continue to remain inflationary on yoy basis. Industry experts suggest that major producers of TiO2 have hiked prices by ~5-7% effective January 1, 2012 (due to higher prices of feedstock ilmenite ore and titanium slag). If the company is unable to pass on the impact through price hikes (it has already taken 24% price hike in past 18 months), there may be downside risks to our estimates. We model EBITDA margin of 17.8% (expansion of 100 bps) and 18.1% for FY2013E and FY2014E. ` Mix improvement – over the past few years, the company’s sales and margin profile has benefitted from mix improvement in favor of emulsions. Emulsions now accounts for ~45% of its sales, hence maintaining historical growth trend in uptrading appears challenging. ` Market share gains - during FY2006-11, APNT’s value market shares (amongst top-4 players) have increased to 53% from 44% and it has gained volume market shares to 52% from 49% (it has likely witnessed higher-than-industry uptrading, in our view). Its average annual volume growth during the period was ~16%. In our view, the share gains were mainly due to benign competitive activity. However competition is getting increasingly active and we would look out for its ability to maintain such share gains. Retain SELL We retain SELL on Asian Paints with a target price of Rs2,500. Our worries about APNT are intact, (1) uncertainty in international operations, particularly Middle East and Egypt operations, (2) scope to take further price hikes is limited and (3) likely moderation in decoratives paint demand, auto and industry may not provide buffer. We remain bullish on the medium-term (2-3 years) prospects of the paint industry. However, we believe expensive valuations and near-term earnings risk could provide better entry points. Key upside risks include higher-than-expected demand conditions and significant correction in input costs providing opportunity for APNT to improve margins. 48 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Asian Paints Consumer products Interim standalone results of Asian Paints, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn) Net sales Total expenditure Material cost Staff cost Other expenditure EBITDA OPM (%) Other income Interest Depreciation Pretax profits Tax Net income Income tax rate (%) 3QFY12 21,095 (17,468) (12,533) (832) (4,102) 3,628 17.2 255 (62) (249) 3,572 (1,067) 2,505 29.9 3QFY12E 21,006 (17,703) (12,661) (899) (4,142) 3,304 15.7 306 (41) (275) 3,294 (1,031) 2,263 31.3 3QFY11 17,542 (14,526) (10,446) (738) (3,343) 3,016 17.2 207 (36) (238) 2,949 (883) 2,066 29.9 2QFY12 18,436 (15,610) (10,912) (850) (3,848) 2,826 15.3 493 (66) (250) 3,003 (874) 2,129 29.1 59.4 3.9 19.4 60.3 4.3 19.7 59.5 4.2 19.1 59.2 4.6 20.9 20,885 641 17,446 429 3,864 32 15,196 640 9,996 Cost as a % of sales Material cost Staff cost Other expenditure Segment results of Asian Paints Revenue Paints Others PBIT Paints Others Capital employed Paints Others Unallocated (% chg) 3QFY12E 3QFY11 2QFY12 0 20 14 20 12 20 15 13 (2) 23 7 10 20 28 23 70 5 21 21 21 (48) (6) (0) 19 22 18 18,298 614 20 49 14 4 3,013 26 3,033 43 28 27 27 (25) 11,762 503 8,393 15,451 641 7,236 29 27 19 (2) (0) 38 8 11 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates Interim consolidated results of Asian Paints Ltd., March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn) KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 49 Consumer products Asian Paints Net sales Total expenditure Material cost Staff cost Other expenditure EBITDA OPM (%) Other income Interest Depreciation Pretax profits Tax Net income Income tax rate (%) 3QFY12 25,605 (21,632) (15,514) (1,318) (4,800) 3,974 15.5 225 (90) (307) 3,802 (1,138) 2,664 29.9 3QFY11 20,996 (17,547) (12,535) (1,115) (3,897) 3,449 16.4 194 (59) (286) 3,298 (974) 2,324 29.5 2QFY12 22,508 (19,279) (13,507) (1,287) (4,485) 3,229 14.3 292 (88) (300) 3,133 (955) 2,179 30.5 60.6 5.1 18.7 59.7 5.3 18.6 60.0 5.7 19.9 Cost as a % of Sales Material cost Staff cost Other expenditure (% chg) 3QFY11 2QFY12 22 14 23 12 24 15 18 2 23 7 15 23 16 54 7 15 17 15 (23) 2 2 21 19 22 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities Titanium dioxide prices continue to be inflationary Trend in titanium dioxide price (indexed to base) 220 200 180 160 140 120 Nov-11 Jul-11 Sep-11 May-11 Jan-11 Mar-11 Sep-10 Nov-10 Jul-10 Mar-10 May-10 Jan-10 Nov-09 Jul-09 Sep-09 May-09 Jan-09 Mar-09 Sep-08 Nov-08 Jul-08 May-08 100 Source: Bloomberg, Kotak Institutional Equities 50 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Asian Paints Consumer products Price increase season continues Price index of APNT's products (X) 140 130 120 110 100 Oct-11 Jul-11 Apr-11 Jan-11 Oct-10 Jul-10 Apr-10 Jan-10 Oct-09 Jul-09 Apr-09 Jan-09 Oct-08 Jul-08 Apr-08 Jan-08 90 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities Input cost inflation hurting margins Quarterly gross margins (%) 50 40 30 20 10 Mar-11 Mar-10 Mar-09 Mar-08 Dec-11 Dec-10 Dec-09 Dec-08 Sep-11 Sep-10 Sep-09 Sep-08 Jun-11 Jun-10 Jun-09 'Jun-08 0 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 51 Consumer products Asian Paints EBITDA margins likely to remain well below the peak of FY2010 EBITDA margins, March fiscal year-ends, 2006-13E (%) 20 18 16 14 12 2013E 2012E 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 10 Source: Kotak Institutional Equities estimates Deceleration in volume growth in FY2012E and FY2013E Asian Paints domestic volume growth, March fiscal year-ends, 1994-2013E 900 Paints volumes, tons (LHS) 23 22 Growth, % (RHS) 25 19 750 18 600 12 13 12 450 13 10 300 17 14 16 20 17 13 13 11 12 9 15 10 5 2013E 2012E 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 0 1997 0 1996 5 1995 150 Source: Kotak Institutional Equities estimates 52 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Asian Paints Consumer products Yoy sales growth in domestic car sales has weakened Monthly domestic car sales and sales growth Car sales -

JSW has shown admirable resilience in keeping up production and increasing capacity utilization against the backdrop of continued challenges in sourcing iron ore. However, relatively expensive valuations and permanent increase in sourcing cost hurt profitability, return ratios and valuations. REDUCE with a revised TP of Rs610/share.

Raw material costs do not the capture the full impact of Rupee depreciation. Forex losses of Rs5 bn arising from acceptances of coking coal and other raw material is shown in extraordinary items. EBITDA would have been in line with our estimates if Fx loss was reported above EBITDA line. Net income declined 56% yoy to Rs1.7 bn owing to higher depreciation and interest outgo on commissioning of the 3.2 mtpa Vijayanagar expansion, partly neutralized by tax credit of Rs1.4 bn pertaining to provisions for VAT written back. Steel deliveries guidance can be met with assured iron ore supply JSW Steel maintained crude steel production guidance of 7.5 mn tonnes for FY2012E. The company is running the Vijayanagar plant at a capacity utilization of 84%. Production can be maintained with continued supply of iron ore; removal of ban on iron ore mining in Karnataka is critical in our view. Note that infrastructural and procedural bottlenecks have led to delay in receipt of iron ore despite JSW purchasing 7 mn tonnes through the e-auction route (the company has received only 52% of iron ore successfully bid for). The company reiterated that regular sourcing of iron ore would enable it to produce around 9.5-10 mn tonnes in FY2013E. Maintain EBITDA but cut EPS estimates; REDUCE rating stays with TP of Rs610 We cut EPS estimates due to below-EBITDA adjustments, viz. increase in borrowing costs. Potential trigger for the stock arises out of possible lifting to some extent of the iron ore mining ban in Karnataka by the Supreme Court—decision on the same may be taken on Jan 27, 2012. However, in the interim domestic overcapacity, continued iron ore sourcing issues and possible pricing pressures will continue to plague the company’s performance and profitability. We maintain our REDUCE rating and revise our TP to Rs610 (Rs545 earlier) based on end-2013E financials. For private Circulation Only.

Metals & Mining JSW Steel Leverage hurts—debt unlikely to decline for the next few years JSW’s overall debt is unlikely to decline over the next two years. Expansion plans, greenfield projects and acquisitions will keep debt at elevated levels. The company highlighted that it has a total of Rs150 bn to be spent as capex over FY2012-14E which will be directed towards (1) JSW Bengal project, (2) for new cold rolling mill, and (3) on the expansion in capacity at Vijayanagar. Out of the total planned capex, around Rs80 bn would be financed through internal accruals and the balance through debt. Around Rs30 bn has already been spent to date and the company expects to incur a further Rs10 bn in 4QFY12E and the balance would be spent over the next couple of years. We expect net debt/ EBITDA of 3.6X and 3.4X for FY2013E and FY2014E respectively (refer exhibit below). Exhibit 1: JSW Steel consolidated leverage details, March fiscal year-ends, FY2012-14E (X) EBITDA (Rs mn) Shareholders funds Net debt Net debt/ EBITDA (X) Net debt/ Equity (X) 2012E 56,040 176,635 169,391 3.0 1.0 2013E 59,309 190,585 210,991 3.6 1.1 2014E 64,844 208,099 223,252 3.4 1.1 Source: Kotak Institutional Equities estimates Key result highlights ` The weighted average cost of iron ore decreased sequentially to around Rs3,2503,300/tonne as against Rs3,420/tonne in the previous quarter. Going forward, the company expects iron ore costs to trend downwards in sync with the fall in international iron ore prices. ` The weighted average coal cost for the quarter (excluding thermal coal) was around US$255/tonne and is expected to trend downwards over the next couple of quarters in sync with the fall in coking coal prices. ` The company is awaiting environmental clearances before proceeding in full swing towards setting up an integrated steel plant in West Bengal. It plans to incur a total capex of around Rs200 bn. As of today, it has spent around Rs2.5 bn towards this project including amount spent towards land acquisition. ` Out of the total steel deliveries of 1,908 kt in 3QFY12, around 195 kt were sourced from Ispat Industries. Around 18% of the total deliveries were exported. ` The company does not see much downsides to steel prices over the next few months and given the fall in input costs across the board, expects some visible improvement in margins in 4QFY12E. ` The US plate mill improved its utilization levels to 42% of installed capacity in November from 37% in 2QFY12. However, it undertook a 25-day maintenance shutdown in December, investing around US$8-10 mn in improving the existing facilities to cater to high-end pipe and plate products. As a result, capacity utilization for 3QFY12 was lower at 28% of installed capacity. ` Shipments at Chile iron ore mines came to a standstill in November due to off-season and one would have to wait till mid-February for shipments to resume. 56 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH JSW Steel Metals & Mining Exhibit 2: JSW Steel, Change in estimates, March fiscal year-ends, 2012E-14E (Rs mn) Net

and a preferential allotment. GCPL’s 3QFY12 performance was excellent—good sales growth in key markets (India 20%, Indonesia 35%, LatAm 29%) and mix-improvement led margin expansion. Its international expansion continues—acquires 60% in Cosmetica, Chile—a value-for-money hair color player for ~Rs3.3 bn (2X CY2011 sales and 9X EBITDA). GCPL is issuing 16 mn shares (~5% dilution) at Rs410/share to Temasek; this could potentially reduce the debt/equity to ~0.8 from 1.1. Our positive view on the stock remains—the key reason being our strong positive view on its prospects in insecticides business. Retain ADD and TP Rs460.

The quarter benefitted from price hikes taken in soaps, distribution led growth and market share gains in household insecticides (benefit of GCPL and GHPL merger). ` EBITDA margin improved marginally by 22 bps to 19% on the back of 50 bps savings in staff cost and 159 bps savings in adspends. On a yoy basis material cost is up 67 bps but on qoq basis it is down 356 bps – palm oil has price has started correcting and the company is set to benefit from the same if the trend continues. Other expenditure is higher by 120 bps yoy likely due to higher freight cost (due to higher tonnage shipped as well). ` We reckon that it has gained market shares in soaps, insecticides and lost in hair color. GCPL has discontinued providing market shares in domestic categories in the investor communication. Consolidated: GCPL reported sales of Rs13,441 mn (+36% yoy, KIE est Rs12,398 mn), EBITDA of Rs2,653 mn (+60%, KIE est Rs2,160 mn) and PAT of Rs1,888 mn (+57%, KIE est Rs1,544 mn). ` Megasari, Indonesia sales (~45% of international sales) increased by 35% yoy to Rs2.5 bn. The company has been actively launching new products in this market – pursuant to the launch of ‘Magic Paper’, a household insecticide in paper format; the company has now launched an electric repellent in 3QFY12. In our view, launch of the ‘Magic paper’ product in India is underway. For private Circulation Only.

Godrej Consumer Products Consumer products ` Africa sales constitute 33% of international sales – this quarter included Rapidol, Tura, Kinky and Darling financials. The company has completed the acquisition of 51% stake of Darling group operations in South Africa, Nigeria and Mozambique. According to management, the full impact of synergy benefits between Kinky and Darling group is expected from 4QFY12 onwards. ` LatAm sales increased by 29% yoy. Post 2% EBITDA margin in 1QFY12 due to increased adspends towards the launch of the ammonia free hair colour under the Issue brand, margins have been improving subsequently – 7% in 2QFY12 and 9% in 3QFY12. Performance of these new products is important given the high brand investments made towards these. ` UK sales grew by 43% but margins were weak at 6% ` The company has acquired 60% stake in a Chile based hair colour and colour cosmetics company – Cosmetica Nacional—a value-for-money hair color player for ~Rs3.3 bn (2X CY2011 sales and 9X EBITDA). GCPL will acquire 100% stake in 3-5 years through a combination of put and call options. Key brands of the company are Pamela Grant, Illict, and U2. Illict has leadership position in hair colour market and Pamela Grant is the no 2 player in the colour cosmetics market. Cosmetica Nacional clocked sales of USD 36 mn in 2011 and has EBITDA margin of ~20%.

Zee reported 3QFY12 EBITDA of Rs2.16 bn (+40% yoy), marginally below our expectations but ahead of Street expectations, led by (1) sports business EBIT losses down to Rs100 mn (-90% yoy) but (2) Zee TV ratings-led entertainment business EBIT of Rs2.18 bn (-12% yoy). Strong 12% qoq subscription growth supported 3QFY12 financials. Zee TV ratings upswing (room for improvement exists, in our view) supports the structural drivers: (1) likely recovery in C&S TV advertising (FMCG) in FY2013E, (2) robust DTH growth, (3) potential benefits of digitization, (4) robust balance sheet, (5) robust performance of regional channels and (6) industry consolidation (versus fragmentation).

Zee seems to have a better handle on its sports franchise now, also driven by improved subscription revenues. ` The negative variance in entertainment business was due to weak advertising revenues (-10% yoy, in our estimate) given challenging advertising environment but more important, weak ratings performance of the flag channel (Zee TV). We have previously cautioned investors not to underestimate Zee TV market share; continued weak ratings performance had the potential for downgrades in the stock. However, Zee TV’s content revamp has worked with ratings back to 2QFY12 levels though room for improvement exists, in our view. Reiterate BUY with FY2013E FV of Rs160 (unchanged) given structural drivers We have highlighted the key structural drivers benefitted Zee (and C&S broadcasters in general) above but elaborate further: (1) we believe C&S TV advertising is poised for a recovery in FY2013E led by FMCG (Exhibit 4; the only question is a modest or robust recovery). (2) We do not believe the street has given much benefit to C&S broadcasters from digitization (Exhibit 5; likely on subscription revenues as well as placement fees). (3) Zee regional channel ratings performance has been stable, supporting financials; Zee lost market share in Marathi but likely made it up through strong market share gains in Bengali and Kannada. Finally, Zee’s strong balance sheet and rising payouts provide support in challenging environment. We reiterate our BUY rating with FY2013E FV of Rs160 as well as earnings estimates unchanged, pending clarity on few points we have discussed in the note in the 3QFY12 conference call. The view is contingent on a robust Tier-I Hindi GEC channel (Zee TV flirted with lower GRPs in 3QFY12, before the recovery in 4QFY12), supporting the network. For private Circulation Only.

We highlight potential changes to financials, wherever possible. ` Zee reported sports business revenues of Rs901 mn (-7% yoy), ahead of our expectations. There were no India matches on Ten sports network in 3QFY12, resulting in decline in advertising revenues; Zee highlighted (1) strong growth in sports subscription revenues and (2) syndication revenues (other operating revenues at Rs332 mn were flat yoy, ahead of expectations) from non-India cricket as the key drivers. Sports EBIT losses of Rs100 mn (-90% yoy) imply Zee has a better handle on its sports franchise now. ` Entertainment business reported revenues of Rs6.65 bn (flat yoy), below our expectations, led by advertising environment and Zee TV ratings. However, one also needs to take cognizance of the base effect; Zee reported EBIT margins of 38% in 3QFY11 as well as FY2011; we did not believe such high margins to be sustainable then and we do expect it now. However, 3QFY12 margin of 32% will likely sustain given (1) stable market share and (2) recovery in advertising market in FY2013E.

Source: Company data, Kotak Institutional Equities ` Zee reported strong subscription revenues of Rs3.26 bn (+16% yoy, +12% qoq). International subscription revenues were higher due to Rupee depreciation; however, constant currency revenues likely declined (in line with past trends). However, domestic subscription revenue growth of 23% yoy and 14% qoq surprised positively; Zee noted strong DTH growth, impact of Media Pro as well as traction in sports subscription as key drivers; however, any one-offs need to be clarified. ` 3QFY12 cost of revenues (content costs) were higher versus our expectation largely on account of sports business (both revenues as well as costs were higher versus our expectation). 3QFY12 employee costs as well as overhead costs (+6% yoy) were largely in line with expectations. The formation of Media Pro also resulted in underreporting of employee and overhead costs (~Rs100 mn, in our estimate). ` There were a few surprises below the EBITDA line, which need to be clarified. Gross other income increased to Rs340 mn versus Rs279 mn in 2QFY12 given robust EBITDA/free cash flows in 3QFY12, despite Zee’s ongoing buyback. However, interest expenses increased to Rs182 mn from Rs56 mn; Zee highlighted impact of Rupee depreciation on forex payables and costs (partly due to sports business). ` The forex losses below the EBITDA line also raise the question on sports business performance. Assuming part of Rs126 mn qoq variance in interest expenses was on accounts of forex costs of sports business (payments for telecast rights to various cricket boards, usually denominated in US$), the operating loss would be higher than the reported Rs100 mn (though still significantly below Rs1.03 bn reported in 3QFY11). Zee’s expectation of EBITDA breakeven in sports business by FY2014E may be missed (cost of SA cricket rights in FY2014E would increase given Rupee depreciation). ` Zee reported 3QFY12 PAT of Rs1.4 bn (+22% yoy; below 40% yoy growth in EBITDA) led by ~39% tax rate (~31% tax rate for 9MFY12). Zee noted Rs55 mn of prior-period tax incidence; effective recurring tax rate of ~36% was due to entire 3QFY12 income coming from standalone operations (full-tax). However, the sharp decline in profitability of Zee ‘rest’ operations from 2QFY12 needs to be clarified; yoy comparisons are not meaningful since Ten Cricket channel was launched just at the fag end of 3QFY11 and sports losses continued to be reported in Zee ‘rest’ (Zee standalone now).

Exide’s 3QFY12 profit of Rs1,043 mn (-16% yoy, 104% qoq) was significantly better than our estimates due to higher inverter sales. Industrial battery segment volumes increased by 13% yoy while automotive segment volume growth remained subdued. We would await details on replacement/OEM volume mix and automotive/industrial EBITDA margins to understand future margin trajectory.

Two-wheeler battery volumes grew by 20% yoy during the quarter. Net sales of Rs12.5 bn (+19% yoy, +6% qoq) were 6% above our estimates due to better-thanexpected industrial battery sales. We were expecting a flat growth in industrial battery revenues versus 13% yoy growth reported by the company. Gross margins improved by 485 bps qoq driven by a decline in lead prices and liquidation of high-cost inventory. EBITDA margins improved by 556 bps qoq due to gross margin expansion and lower other expenses. Other income also increased to Rs100 mn versus Rs79 mn in 2QFY12, which indicates improvement in smelter profitability. However, interest expenses also rose sharply which could indicate higher working capital requirements and needs clarification from the management. Key issues on which we await clarity from the management include: (1) replacement demand growth in the four-wheeler segment and market share improvement in the replacement market, (2) automotive and industrial EBITDA margins in 3QFY12, (3) benefit of lead prices in this quarter as lead prices have started to rise again and we do not expect the company to raise prices given weak growth in replacement battery market, and (4) sharp jump in interest expenses and low income from smelters.

OBER’s EBITDA came in line with our estimates and realized prices moved up 7-11% qoq while revenue declined 16% qoq due to slower execution and sales volume trended down (0.12 mn sq. ft versus 0.19 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12). We cut our FY2012/13/14E revenues and earnings by 16%/4%/6% and 13%/4%/8% as we now expect Esquire to cross revenue recognition threshold in FY2013E (versus 4QFY12E earlier). We maintain our BUY rating at a revised target price of Rs300/share (Rs310/earlier) at par with our March-2013E Company data and valuation summary Oberoi Realty Stock data 273-202 52-week range (Rs) (high,low) Market Cap.

While Splendor achieved 100% project completion in 2QFY12, slower-than-expected revenue recognition in ongoing projects led to the revenue disappointment – (1) Exquisite achieved 43% completion versus 39% at end-2QFY12, (2) Splendor Grande in now 51% complete versus 45% at end-2QFY12 and (3) Esquire is yet to cross the revenue recognition threshold. EBITDA margin jumped to 60.5% versus 51.9% in 2QFY12 likely due to price rises in revenue-contributing projects. As per the company presentation, prices in Exquisite and Splendor Grande rose by 11% qoq while Esquire prices rose by 7% and Splendor remained flat qoq. Price (Rs): 248 Target price (Rs): 300 BSE-30: 16,644 QUICK NUMBERS • Revenues of Rs1.9 bn (-53% yoy, -16% qoq) • EBITDA of Rs1.1 bn (-54% yoy, -2% qoq) • Sales of 0.12 mn sq. ft versus 0.19 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 Sales volumes decline though realizations in ongoing projects rise Oberoi sold 0.12 mn sq. ft in 3QFY12 versus 0.19 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 with Esquire contributing 55% (68% in 2QFY12) to total sales – a trend we expect to continue even in 4QFY12E as average prices there have escalated by only 7% qoq while Exquisite and Splendor Grande have seen 11% price rise. Average sales realization from ongoing projects increased by 16% qoq to Rs14,355/sq with all projects seeing price hikes with the exception of Splendor where prices remained steady. Retain BUY; focus to shift to visibility of project launches at Worli and Mulund over FY2013E We find Oberoi relatively better-placed in this environment as (1) Oberoi is net cash and could actually take advantage of declining land prices by adding to its land bank, (2) NAV realization is relatively more front-loaded than peers, and (3) RoE in the mid-20s is again higher than peers. Key risks are (1) risk of further delays in the Mulund project as it awaits environmental approval, (2) risk of lower FSI and hence potential developable area due to adverse car-park and FSI loading regulations and (3) delay in leasing at Commerz II as Commerz I has an occupancy rate of 76%. Launch or visibility of launch at Worli and Mulund over FY2013E are key milestones to monitor over FY2013E. For private Circulation Only.

On a like to like basis yoy sales growth is 13%. Sales during the quarter were likely disrupted (to the extent of 1.5 mn cases) in Tamil Nadu due to a campaign to promote local brands in the state. Further increase in excise and sales tax in West Bengal led to increase in retail price by 45% and decline in industry volume by 48%. Overall sales volume during the quarter increased by 1% yoy and adjusted for the disruptions in Tamil Nadu, increased by 6% yoy. Segment wise, volume growth was driven by 7% growth in premium category while regular category declined by 3%. Adjusted for the impact in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, premium category grew by 16% and regular category by 6%. ` Material cost during the quarter was at 60.9% (highest in past 10 quarters) due to higher spirits cost +15%, and glass cost. Adspends at Rs2167 mn includes one time cost of Rs260 mn relating to launch expense of new brands. Accordingly EBITDA margin at 9.6% was one of the lowest reported by the company. ` Debt as on December 31, 2011 is Rs77 bn versus Rs56 bn as on December 31, 2010. Accordingly interest cost is higher at Rs1392 mn in 3QFY12 versus Rs1038 mn in 3QFY11. Debt as on September 30, 2011 was Rs71 bn. ` Whyte and Mackay financials are not comparable on yoy basis as the base includes bulk sales. For 9MFY12, W&M clocked sales of GBP 128.5 mn, EBITDA of GBP 28 mn and PBT of GBP13.5 mn. ` The company has announced steps to issue FCCB of US$175 mn with green shoe option of US$ 50 mn to reduce debt levels and finance capex plans – increase distillation capacity and to set up a glass plant.

Consumer products United Spirits Key monitorables ` Recoveries in sales volumes post the disruptions in key states – Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. This issue once again highlight the inherent difficulties faced by this highly controlled (by the Government directly and indirectly) business. ` Improvement in margin profile – according to the company, spirits cost has started correcting (~6% down in January 2012). Further adspends will also likely reduce as expenses related to launch of new brands was accounted for in 3QFY12 ` The increasing debt position (Rs77 bn as of 3QFY12, an increase of Rs21 bn yoy) and interest cost of the company. Company has planned capex of Rs11 bn over next couple of years which in addition to setting up primary distillation capacity also includes glass manufacturing facility – while we do not generally have a view on capex plans of a company as it is a function of business requirement, a company operating in consumer business investing in backward integration is surprising (which is not a normal industry practice). ` Any developments in the Kingfisher airlines crisis – this has likely had an overhang on the stock price of UNSP. Total promoter holding in UNSP is 28% of which ~90% is pledged most of which is probably as collateral for Kingfisher’s debt. As on September 30, 2011, Kingfisher has debt of Rs75 bn (according to our Aviation analyst Jasdeep Walia, the real debt/liabilities of KFA is probably close to Rs100bn). In the event of default by KFA, there is a likelihood of these shares potentially getting liquidated. ` Loans and advances in UNSP’s consolidated balance sheet have been increasing over the years; it has seen an increase of Rs8 bn to Rs16 bn in FY2011. We are unable to comment about the requirement of such high loans and advances for UNSP’s core business. Moreover, the interest income received by UNSP is surprisingly low (Rs590 mn in FY2011, Rs118 mn in FY2010). Retain BUY We retain BUY rating with a target price of Rs900. We continue to value the domestic business at 11X FY2013E EV/EBITDA and W&M business at 9X FY2013E EV/EBITDA. In our view, the recent debt crisis of Kingfisher Airlines may potentially have bearing on the UNSP stock price till the matter is resolved; however it is difficult to build in any such eventuality at this stage. Key risks to our rating are (1) higher-than-expected input costs (2) potential impact of higher interest rates, (3) higher net debt position as of 2QFY12. 88 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH United Spirits Consumer products Interim results of United Spirits, March fiscal year-ends (Rs mn) Net sales Total expenditure Material cost Staff cost Advertising and promotion Other expenditure EBITDA OPM (%) Other income Interest Depreciation Pretax profits Tax Net income Extraordinary Reported net income Income tax rate (%) 3QFY12 19,539 (17,671) (11,894) (1,192) (2,167) (2,418) 1,869 9.6 170 (1,392) (155) 492 (158) 335 136 471 32.0 3QFY12E 23,215 (20,009) (13,806) (1,221) (2,141) (2,841) 3,207 13.8 142 (1,315) (169) 1,865 (606) 1,259 1,259 32.5 3QFY11 19,601 (16,840) (11,571) (1,074) (1,940) (2,255) 2,761 14.1 114 (1,038) (126) 1,711 (650) 1,061 238 1,300 38.0 2QFY12 17,906 (15,346) (10,442) (1,046) (1,686) (2,172) 2,560 14.3 100 (1,241) (152) 1,267 (405) 861 619 1,480 32.0 Cost as a % of sales Material cost Staff cost Advertising and promotion Other expenditure 60.9 6.1 11.1 12.4 59.5 5.3 9.2 12.2 59.0 5.5 9.9 11.5 58.3 5.8 9.4 12.1 3QFY12E (16) (% chg) 3QFY11 (0.3) 2QFY12 9 (42) (32) (27) (74) (71) (61) (73) (68) (61) (68) Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates One-offs impact volume growth Quarterly volume growth (%) Destocking in Andhra Pradesh due to fresh tendering process for retail licenses 25 20 15 10 5 Dec-11 Sep-11 Jun-11 Mar-11 Dec-10 Sep-10 Jun-10 Mar-10 Dec-09 Sep-09 Jun-09 Mar-09 Dec-08 Sep-08 Jun-08 0 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 89 Consumer products United Spirits Debt profile of UNSP (Rs mn) Break up of debt Capex loan Term loan Working capital Term loans of SDL, PDL and others Total secured loan Unsecured loan W&M acqusition loan w/o recourse USL Holdings (UK) Ltd - With recourse (GBP 370 mn) Total debt Less cash Total net debt Dec-11 5,950 13,830 18,770 2,350 40,900 12,740 Sep-11 5,640 15,910 14,390 Jun-11 5,885 15,335 13,628 Mar-11 5,259 15,455 9,148 Dec-10 5,319 15,892 10,716 Mar-10 1,070 17,900 7,850 35,940 13,260 34,849 12,479 20,538 29,862 10948 23,001 31,927 7,971 22,427 26,820 6,360 21,890 30,410 84,050 6,910 77,140 28,340 77,540 6,480 71,060 67,865 2,950 64,915 63,811 6,370 57,441 62,325 5,693 56,632 55,070 7,690 47,380 Source: Company ENA cost per case (Rs) 170 150 130 110 Oct-11 Jul-11 Apr-11 Jan-11 Oct-10 Jul-10 Apr-10 Jan-10 Oct-09 Jul-09 Apr-09 Jan-09 Oct-08 Jul-08 Apr-08 Jan-08 Oct-07 Jul-07 Apr-07 90 Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities 90 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH United Spirits Consumer products Profit model, balance sheet, cash model of United Spirits, March fiscal year-ends, 2008-2014E 2008 2009 Profit model Net revenues 2013E 2014E 46,275 54,681 63,623 73,762 EBITDA Other income 9,642 1,496 9,853 1,240 11,123 967 10,647 3,041 85,251 93,948 105,011 13,276 1,315 14,953 1,415 17,128 834 Interest expense (5,881) (7,377) (6,187) (5,575) (741) (926) (950) (1,023) (6,270) (6,836) (7,649) (1,143) (1,272) Pretax profits Tax 4,516 (2,661) 2,790 (916) 4,952 (1,932) (1,438) 7,090 (2,652) 7,178 (2,584) 8,260 (2,891) 8,876 (3,107) Net income Earnings per share (Rs) 1,855 21.5 1,875 18.2 3,021 27.3 4,437 35.3 4,594 36.6 5,369 42.7 5,769 45.9 Balance sheet Total shareholder's equity 19,806 Total borrowings 66,041 23,123 37,287 41,339 45,583 50,481 55,677 78,036 58,504 67,759 72,990 76,040 81,565 18 (918) (715) (652) (647) (632) (628) 1,992 63 85 175 212 221 232 Total liabilities and equity Net fixed assets 87,858 11,163 100,304 16,558 95,162 18,194 108,620 20,690 118,138 22,774 126,110 24,728 136,845 28,321 Goodwill 44,320 Depreciation Deferred tax liability Minority interest 2010 2011 2012E 53,260 44,738 42,444 44,320 44,320 44,320 Investments 2,119 9,501 1,265 1,544 1,544 1,544 1,544 Cash 5,438 4,490 7,686 6,370 4,512 2,662 2,657 Net current assets 15,878 25,016 25,572 41,741 44,988 52,856 60,003 Total assets 87,858 100,304 95,162 114,665 118,138 126,110 136,845 Free cash flow Operating cash flow, excl. working capital 2,596 1,864 4,175 5,850 5,416 6,656 7,211 Working capital changes (9,990) (3,540) (4,741) (11,211) (9,618) (7,868) (7,147) Capital expenditure Free cash flow (6,713) (6,321) (2,586) (3,519) (3,227) (3,227) (5,030) (14,108) (7,997) (3,153) (8,881) (7,429) (4,438) (4,967) Ratios Revenue Growth (%) 58.2 18.2 16.4 15.9 15.6 10.2 11.8 EBITDA Margin(%) 20.8 18.0 17.5 14.4 15.6 15.9 16.3 EPS Growth (%) (39.9) (15.5) 49.9 29.5 3.5 16.9 7.5 Source: Kotak Institutional Equities estimates KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 91 REDUCE JSW Energy (JSW) Utilities JANUARY 23, 2012 RESULT Coverage view: Cautious Cost-pressure, under-recoveries continue. The recent spike in merchant tariffs has only partially arrested continued earnings weakness due to (1) rising prices of imported coal and (2) under-recoveries from the cost-plus project at Barmer. Concerns about recovery of fixed costs (Rs2.45/kwh) at the Barmer project and dependence on spot markets for the purchase of coal and the sale of power for the remaining capacities prompt our negative stance.

EBITDA beat estimates, driven mainly by higher power sales (3,978 MU against estimated 3,509 MU) on account of (1) higher-than-estimated generation (4,337 MU against estimated 4,201 MU) and (2) sale of 270 MU of previously banked energy not factored in our estimates. However, net income was dented by higher-than-estimated depreciation and interest cost. Reported loss of Rs827 mn includes Rs1.4 bn of forex losses booked in the quarter. We discuss the result and operational performance in detail in a subsequent section. Softening in global coal prices offset by depreciating currency Global coal prices have corrected by ~20% from their peak of US$130/ton (see Exhibit 5), though benefits of falling coal prices have been offset by an18% depreciation in the currency during the same period. Some respite from upward trending merchant rates, though sustainability remains questionable JSW Energy’s estimated merchant realization improved to Rs4.29/kwh (11% qoq) driven by upward trending merchant prices (see Exhibit 6). Improvement in merchant rates could be attributed to increased purchasing power of state distribution utilities following tariff hikes, postmonsoon seasonal revival and pending state assembly elections. We saw a similar spike in merchant tariffs in the run-up to elections though note that the firm price trend failed to continue after the elections. Maintain REDUCE with a target price of Rs43 We maintain our REDUCE rating and target price of Rs40/share. Our target price comprises value for 3,140 MW of operational and under-construction projects. In our view, excessive dependence on spot purchase of imported coal and high proportion of merchant sales make earnings susceptible to (1) rising prices of coal and (2) moderating short-term tariffs.

JSW Energy Utilities We do not ascribe any value to the development portfolio but we highlight that visible traction on these projects could be a key upside risk to our earnings and valuation estimates. We have revised our EPS estimates for FY2012 to Rs1.6 (previously Rs2.3) and for FY2013 to Rs2.3 (previously Rs2.5) as we adjust for under-recovery of fixed costs at Barmer. Commissioning of two more units in Barmer, provisional tariff allows only 70% of fixed-cost recovery During the quarter, JSW Energy started commercial generation from two more units at its Barmer project (8X 135 MW) taking the total number of operational units to four. We however note that the provisional tariff order by the Rajasthan regulator has fixed the tariff for the first two units at Rs3.1/kwh, allowing just 70% of fixed cost recovery. A further variable charge is based on a transfer price of Rs1,108/ton for lignite (Rs991/ton of transfer price + Rs65/ton of royalty + Rs53/ton of VAT) and transfer price allowed by RERC is (for the interim) 60% of the transfer price (before VAT and royalty) claimed by JSW Energy, which is 60% of Rs1,651/ton, which works out to Rs990.6/ton The management indicated that the Barmer project faced significant cost overruns due to delays in commissioning and revised project costs at Rs68.6 bn (Rs64 mn/MW) implying fixed cost recovery of Rs2.45/kwh. Going by the precedence of the first two units and Rajasthan being the largest loss making state, we remain skeptical about RERC approving the entire cost of Rs68.6 bn. First phase of capacity addition nears completion, limited visibility beyond We note that beyond the current portfolio of projects under construction, aggregating to 3,140 MW (of which 2,600 MW has already been commissioned), there is limited visibility of the development portfolio of 8.2 GW. We further highlight that JSW Energy has deployed just 1% (as of September 2011) of total project cost of Rs404 bn for its development portfolio (see Exhibit 4) signaling limited visibility beyond FY2012. Excessive leverage to spot markets, both for fuel procurement and power sales, and limited growth visibility of the portfolio drive our cautious stance on JSW Energy.

Source: Company, Kotak Institutional Equities estimates Operational highlights of 3QFY12 ` Net generation for 3QFY12 increased sequentially to 3,965 MU (65% yoy, 53% qoq) mainly due to the commissioning of the fourth unit in Ratnagiri and the start of generation from Barmer. PLFs at both Vijaynagar and Ratnagiri increased to 85% and 83% respectively (72% and 74% in 2QFY12) while Barmer clocked impressive PLF of 74%. ` We note out of net generation of 3,965 MU, 257 MU was converted power (JSW Energy had entered into an agreement with JSW Steel to convert the excess gas into electricity at a conversion fee of Rs1.3/kwh) and an additional 270 MU of banked energy (243 MU of previously banked energy and 27 MU received as banking arrangement) was sold in the short-term market, taking aggregate sale of power to 3,978 MU. For details on banking arrangement, refer our note titled “Wager gone awry” dated November 11, 2011. ` Estimated average realization for 3QFY12 was Rs3.95/kwh (-11% yoy, 6% qoq). Sequential increase in average realization was primarily on account of improvement in merchant rates during the quarter (estimated merchant realization increased from Rs3.86/kwh in 2QFY12 to Rs4.3/kwh in 3QFY11) though realizations were partly pulled down by the sale of 558 MU at Barmer at an approved tariff of Rs3.1/kwh. ` Fuel cost and O&M – Estimated fuel cost and O&M for 3QFY12 was Rs2.61/kwh (7% yoy, -13% qoq) and 25p/kwh (-7% yoy, -27% qoq) respectively. A sequential decline in average fuel cost is likely due to commencement of generation at Barmer, operating on lignite, and a decline in O&M is reflective of stabilizing operations. ` Capacity addition – JSW Energy commissioned the fourth unit of its Ratnagiri (300 MW) project in October 2011 and the third and fourth unit of the Barmer project in November and December 2011, taking its total installed capacity to 2,600 MW.

Mahindra Finance (MMFSL) reported yet another quarter of strong performance. Loan book was up 50% yoy on the back of 39% growth in disbursements, thereby driving 34% growth in earnings. Asset quality performance was healthy. We believe that strong earnings buoyancy in rural India, auto manufacturers’ focus on rural markets and new product lines at MMFSL will likely help continue the earnings traction in FY2013E as well.

Our bullishness stems from positive loan growth traction (explained below) and deferred income on loans sold to banks (as per the recently revised accounting policy) that will largely drive growth. We find upside to our estimates from (1) likely improvement in NIM on the back of declining rates in the system and (2) lower-thanexpected growth in loan-loss provisions. We model 70% yoy growth in provisioning expenses visà-vis 32% average loan growth in FY2013E to build in any likely deterioration in collections. We continue to believe that MMFSL will deliver strong business traction over the medium term. We expect MMFSL’s loan growth to moderate to 23% between March 2012 and March 2013 (implying 32% yoy growth in average loans in FY2013E) on the back of 47% loan growth CAGR between March 2010 and March 2012E. We believe that the earnings buoyancy in rural India over the past three years will continue to drive business traction in FY2013E as well; increase in business lines will further boost growth at MMFSL. Severe vagaries in monsoon and higher-than-expected regulatory impact pose a risk to our call. Robust performance in 3QFY12 MMFSL reported PAT of Rs1.54 bn, up 34% yoy and 5% above estimates. Somewhat lower provisions resulted in better-than-expected earnings; core growth was in line. ` Strong loan growth. Mahindra Finance reported loan growth of 9% qoq and 47% yoy. Disbursements were up 39% yoy. The company sold down loans of Rs6.6 bn in 3QFY12; loans under management increased by 45% yoy. Notably, the income on loans sold to banks will now be deferred over the tenure of the loans unlike the earlier policy of upfront recognition. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Banks/Financial Institutions ` New product lines drive superior growth. MMFSL’s growth has been strong across product lines. MMFSL has reported 25%, 34% and 46% growth in disbursements for UVs, cars and tractors respectively - significantly higher than industry levels. The product mix was broadly stable qoq: tractors at 20% of total and UVs at 27% of total. The company continued to finance about 10,000 Maruti cars in 3QFY12; MMFSL has tied up with Tata and Hyundai though Maruti continues to drive about 80% of its car finance volumes. The management highlighted that MMFSL has recently increased its market share in ‘Swaraj’ tractors, the business acquired from Punjab tractors; as such, MMFSL’s growth in tractors appears to be higher than its parent (M&M reported 4% decline in tractors in November 2011). The share of CVs increased to 11% of disbursements from 6% last year likely on the back of Mahindra Navistar. ` Tweaking growth estimates. We retain loan growth estimate of 44% for FY2012E while tweaking down our growth estimate for FY2013E to 23% from 25% to factor higher loan sell-down. Notably, MMFSL has resumed loan sell-down in 3QFY12 after a pause of two quarters; while the regulator stance on priority sector recognition of such loans is not yet clear, the transaction has resumed in the market. We note that our assumption of 23% growth is significantly higher than 10-12% industry growth estimate; higher traction in rural India and expansion/ diversification of new product lines at MMFSL will driver superior growth, in our view. Margins decline yoy – in line with expectations MMFSL reported NIM (as per KS calculations) of 10.1 % (our estimate was 10.1%) down from 10.5% in 2QFY12 and 12.1% in 3QFY11. MMFSL has raised its lending rates for new loans in June 2011: this boosted interest yield for the past two quarters. However, sharper rise in borrowings costs pulled down NIM in 3QFY12. We expect NIM to improve in FY2013E as interest rates in the system decline; we are, however, not yet modeling this in our estimates. Operating expenses – in line MMFSL’s operating expenses increased by 26% yoy to Rs1.5 bn - stable qoq; operating expenses ratio was down to 3.8% from 4.1% in 3QFY11 but above 3.5% in 2QFY12. We believe that MMFSL will resume focus on cost control if demand moderates. Notably, in the past two years, the company has focused on high growth - MMFSL opened 88 branches in FY2011 and 50 in FY2012E (47 branches till December 2011). NPLs increase marginally qoq; seasonal trends on track MMFSL’s credit cost was down 9% yoy to Rs494 mn. Gross NPL ratio was 4.1%, up from 4% in 2QFY12; net NPL ratio was up to 1.1% from 1%. We are modeling credit cost (including standard asset provisions) of 1.7% of average assets in FY2013E on the back of 1.4% for FY2012E. We are not yet modeling the impact of likely change in regulations: RBI has proposed to change the NPL recognition norms for NBFCs to 90 days past due from 180 days earlier. MMFSL current recognizes NPLs on loan delinquent up to 150 days. Its NPL provision policy is more conservative (as shown in the exhibit). A relaxation in MMFSL’s loan provisioning policy, if the proposal is implemented, can provide a cushion. Regulatory clarity awaited, lower dependence on securitization is positive RBI has set up a committee of bankers to review the priority sector framework for the banking system. The report of this committee and the final reports on the revised draft securitization guidelines are awaited by NBFCs. We believe that MMFS is well-placed to manage the transition due to its lower dependence on loan securitization/sell-down; securitization income and provision write-back was 13% of PBT in FY2011. From FY2012, the company has revised its accounting policy to defer income on loan sell-down over the tenure of the assets and unlike upfront recognition earlier. We are not modeling higher spread on such transactions. KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 99 Banks/Financial Institutions Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Loan sell-down (bilateral transactions with banks akin a bank loan) will likely be replaced by securitization (involves issuance of a debt instrument). The draft proposes a ‘pari passu’ sharing of losses in bilateral deals. We believe that it’s hence challenging to expect ‘AAA’ rating for the transaction. The structure for loan securitization (that involves senior and subordinate tranches) can merit a high credit rating for the senior tranche due to the credit support provided by the subordinate.

HTML posted weak 3QFY12 EBITDA of Rs727 mn (-16% qoq) despite 10% yoy growth in advertising revenue. The negative variance was due to (1) weaker-than-expected Hindustan EBITDA of Rs191 mn (+3% yoy; adjusted) and (2) Rs75 mn of ad-for-equity provisions (adjusted EBITDA of Rs802 mn). Forex losses of Rs100 mn are considered part of RM costs (buyer credit to pay for imported newsprint). HT Delhi led HTML’s performance with 9% yoy advertising growth; Fever FM, HT-Burda and Hindustan disappointed (we have yet to see consistent benefits from HTML’s diversification). Retain ADD with FY2013E FV of Rs160 (unchanged); HT needs to deliver (earnings, dividends) to justify its premium valuations.

We highlight that below EBITDA line 3QFY12 financials are not comparable given (1) the IPO of subsidiary HMVL in 3QFY11 and (2) negative tax in 3QFY11 (reversed in 4QFY11). ` HTML reported weak consolidated 3QFY12 EBITDA of Rs727 mn (-16% yoy; Exhibit 2) and adjusted EBITDA of Rs802 mn (Rs75 mn of ad-for-equity provisions) led by weaker-thanexpected financial performance of Hindustan (Rs191 mn adjusted EBITDA, +3% qoq), Fever FM and HT-Burda (EBITDA losses again). The Internet business continued to post losses though they were in line with the company’s guidance. Retain ADD rating with FY13E FV of Rs160 (unchanged) Taking a consistent view of the HTML stock is about as difficult as being a Liverpool fan. It is a good collection of individual businesses/players but lacks the solid formation of a team and will take time to perform meaningfully. The potential exists but current premium valuations do not justify the inconsistent performance (Andy Carrol). Just when one player (Luiz Suarez) starts to shine, it promptly gets itself banned for a few matches (Hindustan 3QFY12). The title was never the hope but even a top-four finish becomes an uphill task as the team struggles to score winners. The balance sheet remains robust (Steven Gerrard) but it can only go so far. We reiterate our ADD rating with FY13E FV of Rs160 (unchanged; increase in value of HT Delhi given better-than-expected advertising growth is negated by a decline in the value of Hindustan). HTML has not derived much benefit from its diversification strategy. Although valuations remain low on a historic basis, relative premium to peers needs to be better justified by financial performance (earnings, dividends). The operational performance remains strong (readership, market share) but monetization has been an area of inconsistency. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Media HT Media 3QFY12 standalone financials (contd.) ` HTML reported standalone English print advertising of Rs3.05 bn (+11% yoy), ahead of our estimate of Rs2.8 bn. The growth was led by HT Mumbai/Mint (~20% yoy) and HT Delhi, which contributed meaningfully (9% yoy). HTML expressed confidence that the HT Delhi advertising market is stable and performance can be sustained; real estate advertising has stabilized in the NCR (NCR editions contributed positively). HT Mumbai and Mint continue to benefit from market share gains. ` HTML posted flat yoy (-5% qoq) standalone circulation revenue. HT Delhi cover prices increased somewhat in 2QFY12 but were likely negated by lower circulation. Mumbai remains a competitive market with the presence of DNA still precluding a meaningful price increase (negative realization currently). HT Mumbai continues to defend its position, rightly so in our view, but with a lack of associated financial flexibility. ` HTML reported RM costs of Rs1.06 bn (10% yoy). However, Rs100 mn of forex losses reported in overheads was due to buyer credit (to pay for imported newsprint). Adjusted RM costs of Rs1.16 bn negated the positive variance in advertising revenue. English print is expected to continue to face currency headwinds in FY2013 as well but HTML noted softening of imported newsprint prices (in US dollar terms). ` Employee expenses increased 26% yoy due to provisions for year-end bonuses (given the improvement in English print performance, the dominant business). ` Fever FM continued to disappoint with revenue of Rs173 mn (-4% qoq, +10% yoy), which was below expectations, and EBITDA breakeven against Rs39 mn EBITDA contribution in 3QFY11. HTML right-sized the operation with a cut in marketing expenses but Fever FM is still expected to post losses in FY2012, given weak revenue trends.

Hindi Hindustan, being an emerging business, reported advertising growth of only 9% yoy, equivalent to the mature HT Delhi. ` We discussed the financials of HMVL (Hindi Hindustan) in our note “Earnings follow valuations, in 3QFY12”, dated January 20, 2012. In summary, HMVL reported weak 3QFY12 EBITDA of Rs191 mn as advertising disappointed given (1) a weak environment, (2) competition (Jagran) and (3) weak government advertising in Bihar. ` HT-Burda revenues fell sharply (Rs226 mn versus Rs315 mn in 2QFY12) and EBITDA (loss of Rs17 mn versus profit of Rs5 mn in 2QFY12). The switch to domestic paper from imported paper stemmed HT-Burda’s losses but operating performance was below expectations. ` The Internet business continued to bleed, posting operating losses of Rs93 mn (-11% yoy) though this was in line with the company’s guidance. HT Media considers Internet a strategic investment. We have less of an issue with Internet investments per se than with the direction and execution of the strategy in this regard. ` HT Media reported 3QFY12 PAT of Rs482 mn, in line with expectations, despite missing on reported EBITDA. Net other income increased meaningfully to Rs134 mn from Rs33 mn in 3QFY11 (also due to the Hindustan IPO). However, net cash levels were static in 9MFY12 despite significant standalone EBITDA of Rs1.9 bn (HMVL is still investing in new editions) and may not provide much support in future.

Sobha declared EBITDA and PAT in line with our expectation while sales remained robust at 0.8 mn sq. ft. We maintain our BUY recommendation on Sobha with a revised target price of Rs340/share (Rs350/share earlier). At current market price, we find minimal value being ascribed to either (1) development more than ongoing projects, (2) brand and (3) Sobha operating as a going concern.

The new locations of Mysore and Gurgaon continued to do well and contributed 0.12 mn sq. ft to sales (steady qoq). Average realization has gone up to Rs5,475/sq. ft from Rs5,196/sq. ft in 2QFY12 possibly due to changes in sales mix and as per the company presentation, 37% of sales in 9MFY12 have taken place in the Rs10 mn+ category. Though Sobha has not launched any projects in 3QFY12, it has drawn ambitious plans to launch 9 mn sq. ft in the coming quarters with at least 4 project launches in 4QFY12E covering 1.8 mn sq. ft. • Sales volume of 0.8 mn sq. ft in 3QFY12 versus 0.9 mn sq. ft in 2QFY12 EBITDA and PAT are in line though revenues are marginally lower than expected Sobha reported revenues of Rs3.1 bn (-5% qoq, -13% yoy, 9% below expectation) and EBITDA of Rs753 mn (in line qoq, -8% yoy, 2% above expectation) as EBITDA margin climbed to 24% versus 22.9% in 2QFY12 possibly due to revenue contribution from high value projects. PAT came in at Rs401 mn (in line qoq, -18% yoy) and as per our expectation. Bangalore market remains healthy Absorption in the Bengaluru residential market (Sobha’s primary market) remains stable with monthly absorption (based on 3-month rolling averages) of 4 – 5 mn sq. ft since October 2010. Inventory is in line with trend (16-18 months) and prices have also remained stable though we see marginal probability of an increase. We expect Bengaluru demand to continue to remain robust given (1) positive outlook on IT services demand and hence hiring trend remaining robust, (2) no evidence of any significant speculative element built into either volumes or prices. Current stock price continues to assume minimal value beyond ongoing projects and book value Almost all of Sobha’s current EV is accounted for by (1) PV of cash flows from current projects + (2) book value of land + (3) value of the contracting business. We are cutting FY2012E revenue and net profit estimates by 14% and 18% respectively due to lower execution assumptions due to an ambitious launch pipeline.

Jet Airways’ 3QFY12 results were lower than our estimates as a sequentially strong domestic quarter was offset by weak performance in international business. Yield (rev per RPKM) increased by 16% and 26% qoq in the domestic business (SA) and Jet Lite, respectively. Jet has lost close to Rs10 bn of cash (EBITDAinterest) in the past four quarters which is worrying. Cash loss of Rs3 bn in 3QFY12 was offset by payments of Rs3.67 bn and Rs760 mn on sale of land and sales and leaseback transaction, respectively. We have reduced our estimates.

Reported EBITDA loss at Rs667 mn was much lower than our estimates of profit of Rs1.27 bn. Exceptional gains due to: (1) sale and lease-back transactions (Rs760 mn), (2) write-back of expenses on transfer of BKC land (Rs1 bn), and (3) forex gains of Rs1.85 bn, led to lower loss at the PAT level of Rs1.22 bn versus our estimates at Rs2.96 bn. Other highlights: ` Yield (Rs per RPKM) in the standalone domestic business increased 16% qoq leading to Rs1.2 bn improvement in the 3QFY12 EBITDA at (loss) Rs1 bn (versus EBITDA loss of Rs2.2 bn in 2QFY12). Jet Lite also reported sequential improvement as losses at the EBITDA level reduced by Rs800 mn qoq in 3QFY12 (loss of Rs302 mn versus loss of Rs1.12 bn in 2QFY12) as yield per RPKM increased by 26% qoq (from Rs3.29 in 2QFY12 to Rs4.16 in 3QFY12). At the operating level, domestic business performed in line with our expectations. ` International business underperformed versus our expectations. Main reason: Yield (revenue per RPKM) increased by 5% qoq (versus our estimates at 9%). EBITDA declined qoq (Rs644 mn versus Rs1.84 bn in 2QFY12). In the last 3 years international business used to report a stronger 3Q versus 2Q which was not the case in 3QFY12 indicating a weak business environment. Cash flow position worrying As per our assumptions, the airline has lost close to Rs10 bn of operating cash (EBITDA-interest) in the past four quarters without including any incremental working capital requirements or capex. Given the high debt in the balance sheet, cash loss situation needs to improve. We are increasingly getting worried on that front and would need to take a relook at our rating if the cash loss situation persists. In 3QFY12 also, the company made Rs3 bn of cash loss even as it was offset on account of Rs3.6 bn of advance for the BKC land deal and Rs760 mn of profit on sale and lease back transactions.

US dollar revenues were US$112.5 mn (versus our estimate of US$113.8 mn), a 1% growth qoq. Reported EBITDA of Rs1.06 bn was 26.7% ahead of our estimate, with margins expanding 620bps over 2QFY12. Most of the OPM expansion was driven by license revenue booked for a large product deal in APAC, and a weak Rupee helped, as well. Net income was Rs611 mn (+13.2% qoq, +21.8% yoy). Weak management commentary on revenue traction and challenges to sustainability of EBITDA margins (ex-currency) keep us cautious. Margin improvement key to stock performance Polaris revised its US dollar revenue guidance upward in 2QFY12, but now sees challenges in meeting the lower end of the US$440-450 mn guidance due to delays in decision making. While strong revenue momentum was often the counter argument to margin underperformance, we see difficulties on both fronts now. Sustained margin performance looks difficult given the macro issues and lumpy nature of the margin-aiding products business. The management attributed the rise in services margins entirely to currency gains. We believe margin underperformance is a structural issue with few levers to improve (ex-currency) margins, utilization still running high at 81% and limited headroom on SG&A and offshore leverage. Cut revenue growth estimates, retain REDUCE Inherent volatility in the products business and macro concerns, leading to delays in client spending, especially in the BFSI space, are likely to hurt Polaris’ revenue growth. We cut our FY12 and FY13 US dollar revenue estimates by 1-2.6%. We, however, raise FY12 and FY13 EPS estimates to Rs21.7 and Rs24.0 respectively, up 3.5-4.3% due to revised FY12 and FY13 currency assumptions of 48.6/52.5 (versus 47.4/49.7 earlier). We value the stock at 6X FY13E earnings due to the twin challenges of sustaining revenue growth and improving margins. Retain REDUCE with an unchanged target price of Rs145.

In a twist to typical fundamental drivers (valuations following earnings), HMVL’s earnings followed depressed valuations with 3QFY12 EBITDA of Rs166 mn (-10% yoy) led by (1) weaker-than-expected advertising (+9% yoy; near-zero yield growth yoy) and (2) Rs25 mn of provision for diminution in value of adfor-equity assets (adjusted EBITDA of Rs191 mn; +3% yoy). Nonetheless, downside is limited given valuations (11X FY13E EPS post 10% cut), monetization improvement (contingent on improved execution) and low margins (15-20% versus peers’ 25-30%).

Adjusted EBITDA at Rs191 was up 3% qoq; HMVL provided Rs25 mn for diminution in value of its sole ad-for-equity asset (GTL Infra). ` HMVL reported weak 3QFY12 advertising revenue of Rs1.02 bn (+9% yoy; -10% qoq) in a seasonally strong quarter. HMVL highlights a weak advertising environment after the festive season in October, and pressure on yields, notably in UP (JAGP intensified its focus on regaining lost advertising share). However, HMVL also has not derived much benefit from Bihar (leadership brand, structural economic growth, low advertising base). ` HMVL needs to sharpen focus on improving monetization in the key markets of Bihar and UP. We highlight that the large valuation gap between HMVL and its peers (JAGP, DBCL) is a derivative of low advertising/reader, which translates into low margins (cost structure largely inline with peers despite smaller scale of operations). Notably, HMVL has a long way to just catch up with regional brands in terms of color advertising in Bihar (20-30% advertising rate benefit); JAGP has been more active here (we expected a positive rub-off on HMVL). Retain BUY with a revised FV of Rs190 (Rs230 previously) We reiterate our BUY rating with a revised FY13E FV of Rs190 (Rs230 previously) due to reduced advertising growth estimates (15% in FY12E versus 18% previously; 16% in 9MFY12). The challenging environment may hurt HMVL in UP where the brand is growing but is not yet established. However, growth is likely to make a strong recovery as discretionary advertising is expected to resume and HMVL complete its expansion in 4QFY12. (Moradabad is the only edition left). However, Bihar would be crucial for HMVL (~50% advertising share, structural economic growth from and growth in commercial advertising, both from a low base). HMVL needs to drive advertisers and advertising growth in Bihar to narrow the gap with its peers. For private Circulation Only.

We continue to expect more focused investment (circulation/readership) and an advertising push after the separation from the parent HT Media. Progress is being made (16% yoy advertising growth in 9MFY12 in a challenging environment) but can be accelerated. ` 3QFY12 operating costs of Rs1.25 bn were largely in line with expectations. Domestic newsprint prices have stabilized though the downside may be limited (given that the effective imported newsprint price has gone up due to the Rupee depreciation). ` HMVL reported Rs25 mn provision due to diminution in value of sole ad-for-equity asset with the company (GTL Infra). HMVL also had Rs10 mn of start-up expenses due to the launch of the Aligarh edition in UP, but that will translate into recurring operating costs from 4QFY12 and thus, is not considered to be a one-off expense. ` The disappointing 3QFY12 must also be seen in the perspective of the positive surprises (versus conservative expectations) in 1QFY12 and 2QFY12. Expectations increased even as the challenging environment impacted with a lag. Investment view We would also highlight the company’s strong balance sheet and lack of significant negative triggers, which may impact peers. The company has Rs1.9 bn of cash on the balance sheet, which provides support and investment options in a high interest rate environment. The company does not have significant forex liabilities either due to forex loans (JAGP/DBCL) or imported newsprint (HTML) and thus, remains largely insulated from Rupee depreciation (~10% from the start of FY2012 assuming current INR/USD levels sustain); HMVL uses imported newsprint for its Delhi edition (a modest ~15% contribution to circulation) but otherwise looks at tactical purchases (in the unlikely event that imported newsprint prices are below domestic newsprint prices).

Strong execution track record of road BOT assets drive value through (1) bonus revenues of early completion (Rs0.85-1 bn) and (2) potential project cost savings (Rs4.5 bn). We also note strong growth in toll revenues on back of better traffic growth and inflation-linked toll rate revision. However, slow order inflow traction in construction business likely to constrain standalone construction business growth. Reiterate BUY.

This is likely to benefit the company on (1) cost savings on projects (expecting about Rs4.5 bn across four projects) and (2) Bonus income (proportion of toll collections) from early completion (potentially about Rs0.85-1 bn). Strong traffic growth and inflation linked toll rate revision have also boosted value. High margin EPC portion (IT related work for RFID system implementation) in Mumbai Check post has also helped capture margins and reduce equity. Construction: Lower inflows coupled with strong recent execution may contain growth Order inflows have been only about Rs5.5 bn (including Rs3.3 bn L1 order from Bharat Coking Coal) in FY2012E so far. We estimate inflows worth Rs14 bn in FY2012E, a decline of 42% over FY2011. Lower inflows and strong execution implies flattish FY2013E construction revenues. Strong balance sheet to support next leg of growth; substantial deleveraging possible by FY2013E Debt levels may reduce further led by (1) lower receivables from Dhule’s (majority of receivables of Rs5.5 bn at end-1HFY12 are attributed to this project) and (2) lower funding requirement in SIPL on speedy execution (on release of contingency reserve by lenders and lower debt levels corresponding to lower project cost). We expect Sadbhav’s debt position to improve from about 0.6X Debt:Equity at end-FY2011 to 0.4X by end-FY2012E and 0.2X by end-FY2013E. BUY (TP: Rs180): Revised SOTP composition with increased value of BOT and lower construction We revise standalone estimates to Rs10 and Rs10 from Rs10.8 and Rs11.9 for FY2012E and FY2013E on lower construction momentum. Reiterate BUY and retain TP of Rs180. Key changes in our assumptions include (1) lower standalone working capital on completion of Dhule-Palasner, (2) slower growth momentum in construction business and (3) increased BOT value on earlier completion, stronger traffic growth and higher inflation. Toll collection on Dhule and Bijapur projects would be key data points to watch for and may increase visible upside as confidence grows on toll collection at projects under development currently. For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL. Construction Sadbhav Engineering BOT: Speedy execution accrues cost saving, bonus income; toll collection growth also strong Sadbhav has demonstrated strong execution of its BOT assets being ahead of schedule across most of its projects. This is likely to benefit the company on (1) cost savings on projects which reduces total initial capital investment requirement thereby potentially increasing returns from the project and (2) bonus income (proportion of toll collections) from early completion of projects. The company has also witnessed a strong growth in toll revenues on back of better traffic growth and inflation linked toll rate revision in its operational projects. Bonus revenues (of Rs850 mn - Rs1 bn) from early completion of Dhule-Palasner and Bijapur-Hungud projects ` Dhule-Palasner. Sadbhav recently achieved provisional CoD for 75% completion of its Dhule-Palasner project and expects to receive 100% CoD by end-March, 2012. This is versus scheduled completion date of June, 2012. The company can now start tolling and would from hereon receive 75% of the toll revenues for the period ending June-12 as a bonus to its original concession period. The management cited that this could potentially result in bonus revenues to the tune of Rs350-400 mn). ` Bijapur-Hungud. Sadbhav also expects 75% provisional CoD for its Bijapur – Hungund project to come soon and 100% CoD by end-Feb, 2012. This is versus scheduled completion date of Mar-2013. The management expects to receive about Rs1.05 bn of bonus revenues from this project of which about Rs450-480 mn would be given to the third-party EPC contractor (KNR Construction, for the outsourced portion of construction).

The management expects to have a project cost savings to the tune of about Rs4.5 bn on the back of fast execution of Bijapur-Hungud, Rohtak-Panipat, Hyderabad-Yadgiri and Mumbai border checkpost projects. Key developments in these projects include: ` Rohtak-Panipat. Sadbhav is running about 8 months ahead of schedule in the RohtakPanipat project and is aiming for a Jan-13 completion (planned CoD of Oct -13). ` Mumbai border checkpost. The management cited strong progress in the Mumbai border checkpost project and expects one checkpost to be opened very shortly, another three by end-Feb 2012, one in Mar-12 and another four by end-June. Hence the company would have eight (of the total 22) check posts open by end-June 2012. 138 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Sadbhav Engineering Construction Sadbhav would also benefit from savings on lower debt as the company gets back contingency reserve built in the projects. Strong toll collections expected on better traffic growth and higher inflation The company highlighted strong traffic growth seen at Aurangabad-Jalna, Ahmedabad ring road and Mumbai-Nasik projects. Toll revenues would be further boosted in the near term on significant annual toll hikes on the back of high inflation in FY2012E (toll hikes calculated on the basis of inflation over the last financial year). Construction: Lower inflows coupled with strong recent execution may contain growth Sadbhav has reported inflows of about Rs5.5 bn (including L1 order from Bharat Coking Coal). We expect another Rs8-9 bn of incremental inflows in FY2012E from the contracts bid by the company for roads and mining projects. Our revised estimates build in inflows of about Rs14 bn in FY2012E, a sharp decline of about 42% over FY2011 inflows of Rs24 bn. We believe that reduced order inflows coupled with strong execution of existing projects would constrain growth in construction revenues going forward. We expect construction revenues for the company to grow at 17% in FY2012E and then decline 2.3% in FY2013E.

Majority of the company’s present receivables (Rs5.5 bn as of end-Sep-11) are attributed to the Dhule-Palasner project. We expect these receivables to get paid down with the company now having received provisional CoD thereby leading to lower debt levels. ` Lower debt requirement in SIPL on speedy execution. The Company would also benefit from lowered debt levels from SIPL as the lenders release the contingency reserve as its projects achieve earlier-than-expected completion (provisional CoD received for Dhule and expected for Bijapur – Hungund). Furthermore, lower project costs on speedy execution would also result in lower funding requirements for the BOT assets. We expect Sadbhav’s debt position to improve from about 0.6X Debt:Equity at end-FY2011 to 0.4X by end-FY2012E and 0.2X by end-FY2013E.

The company has (1) already put in Rs2.6 bn of equity, and (2) raised Rs4 bn from private equity investment in SIPL. The management expects about Rs1.4 bn of internal accruals in SIPL (excluding toll revenues) and Rs400-420 mn of net cash balance in Ahmedabad ring road SPV to help fund part of the remaining Rs2 bn Securitization of key assets (such as Ahemdabad ring road) would open more funding options apart from savings from early completion and sanctioned debt limits (Rs1.8 bn of funding from ICICI with 6.5% coupon for first 5 years of 7 year term loan) at SIPL level. Signs of build up of organization strength Sadbhav is investing in expanding its opportunity set as it aims to moves up the value chain into design and building of elevated structures (including Metro). The company also reported a sharp increase in its employee cost to Rs184 mn in 1HFY12 from Rs118 mn in 1HFY11 (56% yoy jump). Sadbhav has also recently opened its Mumbai office where it has purchased some commercial area already. It has set up teams for contract and tendering business with finance and accounts functions to follow. 140 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH Sadbhav Engineering Construction Weak sector commentary lack of financial closures impend construction activity The company cited funding concerns for the projects awarded by NHAI in the last two years. It believes that about of the projects in value terms may not have achieved financial closure as banks have started scrutinizing proposals and adding relevant covenants. The company also believes that minimal amount of equity has been invested in these projects further reflecting reduced activity in the sector. Key factor leading to such slowdown in activity aggressive bids by players believing cash flows from projects nearing completion to fund equity for recent project wins. Revised estimates to factor in stronger BOT business and weaker construction We revise our estimates to Rs10 and Rs10 from Rs10.8 and Rs11.9 for FY2012E and FY2013E respectively. Key changes in our assumptions are explained below ` Lower receivables on completion of Dhule-Palasner project. Dhule-Palasner project ahs achieved provisional COD which would lead to the company getting paid on its claims. The Dhule projects accounts presently accounts for about 60% of the company’s receivables. The company receivables are therefore expected to reduce to about Rs3.9 bn versus our earlier assumption of Rs6.3 bn. The company reported Rs5.5 bn of receivables at-end-Sep-11. This would help lower its debt by about Rs2.1 bn and also lead to lower interest expenses. ` BOT revenues up on improved traffic trends and higher inflation. We also revise our toll revenues based on improved traffic growth in (1) Aurangabad Jalna and (2) Mumbai Nasik. We also improve are inflation estimate to 9% from 5% earlier for FY2011E and FY2012E. This improves the value of the BOT business to about Rs136 per share from Rs120 earlier. ` Lower inflows constraining construction growth. We have cut our order inflow assumption for FY2012E to Rs13.9 bn (42% yoy decline) from our earlier estimate of Rs34.9 bn. We also revise our FY2013E inflows to Rs33 bn from Rs40.7 bn earlier. Reduced inflows result in about 17% growth in standalone revenues in FY2012E and flattish FY2013E revenues.
