Cement stocks have seen their valuations rerate at an unprecedented pace in the past 6 months or so, driven by heightened expectations of demand growth. Large caps are trading at multiple year high valuations, with several midcaps closing in the gap too. Most importantly, valuation hierarchy has flipped (we believe, sustainably) with a cost leader (Shree Cement) now at the top of the band. In line with above, we looked for the following attributes: Given an increasing proportion of non-trade sales, higher RMC penetration and bulk (i.e. not bag) cement sales, the premium pricing of brand leaders will erode gradually. Historically, the erosion of pricing premium has coincided with periods of fast demand growth (implying sudden utilization surges). Given the low entry barriers in to the cement industry and relatively slow expansion plans of pan-India companies (Holcim/Lafarge mainly), market share for erstwhile dominant players is shrinking. Given this scenario, single/two region cost leaders with better logistics will trump multiregion cost-laggards (op-ex and capex). Sharper growth in cement consumption will suit nimbler companies (faster execution and turnaround) better than slower ones, and will also make them better equipped to navigate periods of weak demand. These companies will see their valuations rerate substantially. Proven operational cost leaders, who can compete with pan India players on costs? Companies with large expansions in their catchment area (40-50% growth in capacity) delivered/ready to be delivered in next 12 months to catch the upcycle. Companies with multiple efficiency triggers in their cost structures, waiting to be exploited. Valuations investors. still appealing enough for Orient Cement (CMP:127; TP:177; BUY), Sanghi Industries (CMP:63; TP:83; BUY) and Mangalam Cement (CMP:243; TP: 415; BUY) can sustainably rerate during the coming upturn, given the potential to catch the upcycle with a 40-60% jump in capacity and efficiency levers waiting to be exploited. In three cases, leverage will not be excessive upon capacity addition. (Net Debt/EBITDA < 3.0 and net D/E < 1.2x). Given that the frontline cement stocks are already factoring in strong earnings growth, these companies also carry with them a margin of safety for investors in case a less bullish demand scenario pans out.

It already runs one of the most efficient operations in the country (LTM operating costs at Rs 2,945/t vs Rs 3,400-3,800 for peers ex-Shree). From its current base in Devapur (Telangana, 3 mTPA) and Jalgaon (Maha. 2 mTPA), the company is expanding by adding 3 mTPA cement capacity at Gulbarga (Karnataka). At a total project cost of ~Rs 17bn (~US$95/t) and a guided commissioning by 1QFY16 (within 24 months from ordering), the upcoming plant is expected to set a new benchmark in greenfield project execution. The next key challenge before the company is to replicate its best-in-class current operations at the new plant. Two solid advantages: Low landed cost of of coal (due to proximity to the Singareni Collieries) and fly ash (from Ramagundam TPP) are not replicable. However, savings may accrue due to newer, more efficient equipment (new kiln, VRMs instead of ball mill-roller press combination). Further, the catchment area of new plant would include higher priced markets of Karnataka. As a result, the new plant may be able to generate similar EBITDA/t as the existing operations. At 8 mTPA capacity, operations in two regions and established cost leadership, the valuations at US$81/t are still below peers like Ramco which trades at US$140/t. Gulbarga booster : With the Devapur operations nearly maxed out at current volumes, Gulbarga will drive the next phase of volume growth (FY14-17 CAGR: 13%). While blended profitability will be dragged down to some extent due to non-replication of current advantages, we reckon EBITDA/t to be a healthy Rs 1,100/t in FY17. EBITDA/PAT can grow by a healthy 44/40% CAGR over the same period. Debt/EBITDA will be a healthy 2.7x upon commissioning of the Gulbarga. Outlook and view : The stock trades at 11.7/7.5x FY15/FY16E EV/EBITDA and US$81/t on FY16 exit financials. Given the booster from Gulbarga operations, we believe that the company can command premium valuations, especially given its best-in-class cost profile. While the company may not yet have the scale of Ramco, it is clearly the cost leader in South. Initiate with a BUY rating and a TP of Rs 177 based on 9.5x FY16 EV/EBITDA.

Including IUCL, the freight costs (~Rs1,000/t) are in line with other cement makers. Ramagundam super TPP (2600 MW) is at a 60km distance from Devapur, while Bhusaval power plant is situated at a distance of 20 kms from Jalgaon GU. This ensures availability of cost fly-ash with a low lead distance too.

Project cost Rs 17.2bn Debt:equity 70:30 Source of coal Market purchase Source of flyash Ramagundam TPP The Chittapur (Gulbarga) 3 mTPA capacity (2 mTPA clinker) is being added for a capital cost of ~Rs 17.0bn, of which ~12bn will be funded through debt and remainder via internal accruals. The capacity will also include a 45MW CPP and 7MW waste heat recovery systems, thereby ensuring full captive power availability for the plant. The plant is expected to be commissioned by June 2015, and is will likely contribute to volumes significantly in FY16 (Our estimates: 1.19/1.78 mT in FY16/17, or 40%/70% utilization levels). Given the kiln was ordered in June 2013, the commissioning timeline of 24 months is an industry benchmark for green-field projects. The new plant is expected to be more efficient vs the current operations due to single kiln operation (vs. 3 at Devapur currently) and newer equipment. However, the advantages of low cost fuel (linkage coal at Devapur) and fly-ash (Ramagundam TPP) will not be available and the company will have to ferry these ~400 kms (from current sources to Gulbarga). Source: Company, HDFC sec, MoEF We believe that upon full ramp-up, Gulbarga operations will be marginally lower than current operations due to the above mentioned ~400kms lead distance and market linked coal for the kiln (vs. linkage coal for 2 lines and CPP in Devapur). A mine life of 93 years based in ~300 mTPA reserves also allows the company further scope to expand the capacity at a later stage . Valuations yet to factor in the new capacity Sometime in FY16, Orient will be a 8 mTPA entity with operations in South, but with key target markets in the lucrative regions of Maharashtra. Orient will have a net Debt/Equity of ~1.2x and net Debt/EBITDA (FY16E) of ~2.8x upon plant commissioning in June -15. This compares well with other cement cos undertaking a ~50% expansion currently. Given its West focus, the volume growth potential of the company is much higher than that of its South India peers, which face an uphill task as far as volume growth is concerned. At 7.5x FY16E EV/EBITDA and ~US$80/t, valuation have plenty of room for upside, especially when compared with its South Indian peers like Ramco and Dalmia Cement.

It has access to soft marine limestone spread over ~1,500 hectares (containing ~1 bnt of proven reserves). The operations are fully integrated with captive power (63 MW), have the ability to use lignite in both kiln and CPP and a captive jetty within 1 km of the cement grinding plant. Its port terminals at Navlakhi (Rajkot) and Dharamtar (Maharashtra) are used to access their respective markets. The company also exports clinker from Kutch, opportunistically tapping the cement markets in Middle East and Africa. SNGI’s profitability is driven by low cost raw material, essentially surface mined limestone. Proximity to lignite mines of GMDC, ability to import coal at its captive jetty and excess captive power allow it low energy costs. On the flipside, low blending (C:C ratio at 1.1 in FY14) and a very high proportion of road transport (given no option of railway) eat away large chunks of profitability. As a result, the company reports some of the highest P&F and selling costs in the industry. Ankur Kulshrestha [email protected] +91-22-6171-7346 The road forward : SNGI is investing in additional cement capacity (1 mTPA grinding unit) at the existing location, likely to be commissioned in FY16. Given the ample availability of fly ash in the vicinity and a gradual shift towards PPC, P&F costs can trend lower. Further, increasing focus on low cost coastal freight should lower freight, while accessing newer markets. In addition to existing terminals, SNGI is looking at setting up distribution capacity on the western coast and is acquiring vessels for transportation. Outlook and view : SNGI has multiple levers of profitability improvement: product mix, volumes, and transportation. While product mix shift may take longer to play out, improvement on account of latter two should become visible earlier. Cash flows (at existing profitability levels) are strong enough to pare down the debt in next 2-3 years (Net debt FY14 ~Rs5.7bn (D/E: 0.69x), even as earnings/RoEs appear depressed due to high asset base. The next phase of capacity build-out can then begin, truly exploiting the billion tonne limestone reserves. Initiate with a BUY, and a TP of Rs 83 (7.5x FY16E EV/EBITDA, US$100/t).

(Implied C:C ratio of 1.43). SNGI has not been able to capitalise on its coastal location and captive jetty, for domestic volumes. However, given limited grinding capacity, SNGI has remained constrained in its volume output with a maximum cement production of 2.5 mTPA in FY08. The nearest railhead, Bhuj, is ~140 kms from the plant, rendering rail transport infeasible. As a result, SNGI ships cement on road to its key markets, with a high lead distance. As a result, its freight costs are amongst the highest in the industry. The company is planning to purchase vessels for cement transport, and has earmarked a capex of Rs 1.0bn for the same. Vessels are expected to be delivered by 2HFY15 and will likely result in substantial freight cost savings. Particulars Distance from key markets (kms) 140 Rajkot 370 Ahmedabad 470 Surat 730 Mumbai ~1,000 Further, 63MW of captive power can easily support ~4.5 mTPA cement capacity, implying that the future cement capacity additions will be lower cost.

Page | 18 SANGHI INDUSTRIES : INITIATING COVERAGE Improvement in product mix (More PPC) SNGI sells primarily OPC, given low grinding/blending capacity and brand positioning. Of late the company has attempted to foray in to PPC manufacturing. This is likely to bring down the production costs even lower on a per tonne basis, since the landed cost of fly ash is lower than clinker production cost. Higher specific consumption of power vs benchmarks Power consumption/t of cement, kWh 120.0 With multiple fly ash sources available in the vicinity (Mundra/Tata Power) and increasing grinding capacity, share of PPC in the mix should increase. The eventual product mix will still tilt towards OPC, given the market dynamics of Gujarat, where OPC is preferred over PPC. Further, the product mix shift is usually slow/gradual and needs marketing effort.

Huge reserve potential SNGI has access to ~1bn tonnes reserves of soft marine limestone, spread over ~1,500 hectares In 2008, the company had received environment clearance to mine ~12 mTPA limestone. Surface mining is used to tap the limestone reserves, which yields low cost limestone and as a result low RM costs.

+91-22-6171-7346 70.33 Ripe for a rerating Mangalam Cement has recently added 63% cement capacity to reach 3.25 mTPA. In addition to scale, the expansion also gives the company new levers of efficiency improvement. Gains will be manifold; 1) the expanded kiln/grinding unit will have vastly improved power & fuel consumption parameters that can save up to Rs 200/t in costs; 2) improvement in PPC proportion from current levels will save another Rs 60-70/t in costs and; 3) tie up of ~1,500tpd (~0.5 mTPA) of grinding capacity in NCR will lower freight costs. The expansion has been prudently executed, leaving the company only ~Rs3.2bn in net debt as of FY14 end (0.64 net D/E ratio). With the first repayment on term loans starting only in June 2015, Mangalam is well set to reap the benefits of recent expansion. We believe the company can generate cash flows to wipe out the debt completely in FY15-16. The company sits on >50 years of limestone reserves in its current location. Next phase of expansion may likely include a split grinding unit in Aligarh (as previously planned) and clinker upgradation/new line at Morak. Given the ability of current operations to sustain a 23 year build cycle, we believe Mangalam is well set to leapfrog into the 5 mTPA league. Initiate with a BUY and a TP of Rs 415 (5.0x FY16 EV/EBITDA and US$65/t). Accelerating profitability: Mangalam Cement is likely to see its EBITDA/PAT grow by 23/25% CAGR over FY13-17 period*. EBITDA/t is likely to improve to Rs900-1,000/t levels, driven by efficiencies aforementioned and a volume CAGR of 12% is well within grasp. We have not built in any benefits from a 7-year VAT exemption in Rajasthan from the new capacity (1.25 mTPA, for sales in Rajasthan). Outlook and view : The stock trades at 5.2/3.4x EV/EBITDA and US$44/t on FY16 numbers. Given the impending improvements in cost structure and its comfortable balance sheet for another transformative expansion (2 mTPA implies 62% capacity addition); we believe there is a substantial scope for the stock to sustainably rerate.

With a rampup in the new capacity and profitability improvements, we expect the net debt to be wiped out in 2-3 years. As a result, Mangalam is well placed to embark on a future round of expansion. Mangalam Cement currently produces 60% PPC cement, which can increase to 85-90%, given its market dynamics. The switch from OPC to PPC can yield further efficiency benefits, especially given the availability of fly ash is available via long term contracts. The expanded capacity will have VAT exemption in Rajasthan for first 7 years of operations. As a result, the company is likely to increase its supplies to Rajasthan markets (~30% of dispatches at present). In addition to the savings on VAT, this will also result in reduction in lead distance and savings in freight costs. Valuations remain attractive The stock trades at 5.2/3.4x FY15/16 EV/EBITDA and US$44/t (FY16 end). The grinding capacity tie-up in NCR will also lead to a reduction in freight costs.
