EBITDA beat, higher tax impacts PAT; cut oil price assumptions and estimates
EBITDA beat, PAT below estimate: CAIR’s 3QFY15 sales at INR35b (est. INR32b,
-30% YoY, -12% QoQ) were above estimate led by higher Ravva production at
28kboepd (est. 23kboepd, +35% QoQ) and lower profit petroleum at INR9.5b (v/s
est. of INR12b). However, PAT was below estimate at INR13.5b (est. INR14.3b,
-53% YoY, -41% QoQ) due to higher tax rate at 22% (v/s last eight-quarter average
of 3.9%). Lower-than-expected other income at INR1.6b (v/s est. INR3.9b, +16%
YoY, -53% QoQ) was compensated by higher forex gain at INR3.5b (v/s est.
INR1.3b).
 Post 2QFY15 maintenance, Rajasthan 3QFY15 averaged 180kbpd, +10% QoQ:
Increased contribution from satellite fields and Aishwariya ramp-up to 30bpd
aided Rajasthan production to reach 180kbpd (-3% YoY, +10% QoQ). While the
earlier production guidance is a three-year CAGR of 7-10%, it will be updated in
4QFY15 results.
 Rajasthan realization at USD68.3/bbl implies 10.8% discount to Brent (v/s 10.2% in
2QFY15). IOR/EOR on track with first polymer injected in October 2014.
 Guides to remain free cash flow positive and maintain absolute dividend: Despite
the 55% crude price decline in the last six months and similar earnings impact,
management indicated its intention to maintain the absolute dividend (implies
~40% payout v/s policy of 20%). In our view, CAIR’s guidance to remain free cash
flow positive could entail some capex program cuts.
Valuation and view
 We lower the Brent price assumption for FY16E/17E from USD75/85/bbl to
USD60/70/bbl, resulting in 26% cut in FY16E/17E estimates. We maintain the
absolute dividend estimate of INR12.5/sh in FY15E but continue to model 20%
payout from FY16E.
 The stock trades at 10.7x FY16E EPS of INR22.4 and has a dividend yield of ~5%
(based on fixed payout). Our SOTP-based fair value stands at INR250 (v/s INR275
earlier). Maintain Neutral.

Takeaways from the Earnings Concall






Cairn indicated that it has ability to maintain absolute dividend despite fall in
earnings subject to board approval. Management clarified that its dividend
policy of 20% is the minimum payout policy. It also clarified that if need arises it
could use balance sheet reserves to pay the dividend.
Aishwariya production reached 30kbpd as per approved plan.
Reported forex gain in the income statement also includes exchange fluctuation
gain from the USD1.25b loan given to the parent.
Management clarified that based on change in the investment multiple
government profit sharing trend could also reverse (i.e. it could again fall back to
lower level). While Rajasthan PSC allows such reversal, no such provision exists
in Raava or Cambay PSC.
Despite the crude price fall, management guided that it aims to remain free cash
flow positive implying cuts in the exploration / development plans
Mangala IOR/EOR project is on schedule with first polymer injected on October
1, 2014 and critical package construction is in advanced stage. Production
contribution is expected from 1QFY16.

22 January 2015
Profit petroleum in 3QFY15 stood at INR9.5b (v/s INR12.8b in 3QFY14 and
INR11.3b in 2QFY15). The current government share in DA1 is 40% and DA2 is
30%.
Rajasthan royalty share stood at INR6.9b (v/s INR11.1b in 3QFY14 and INR9.1b
in 2QFY15).
Other income stood at INR1.6b (v/s INR1.4b 3QFY14 and INR3.5b in 2QFY15).
Sharp QoQ fall in other income is due to non-booking of mark-to-market gains
on investments as per IFRS standards.
Effective tax rate (PBT before forex changes) was higher in 3QFY15 at 22.8% (vs
last 8 quarter average of 3.9%) led by lower MAT credit on account of lower
crude price.
Foreign exchange gain stood at INR3.5b (v/s loss of INR1.3b in 3QFY14 and gain
of INR2.4b in 2QFY15).
Gross cumulative Rajasthan capex stands at USD4.9b (89% in DA1 and 11% in
DA2). 3QFY15 capex share stood at of USD247m.

Rajasthan realization stood at ~USD68.3/bbl (29% YoY, -25% QoQ), implying
discount to Brent at ~10.8% (v/s 12.5% in 3QFY14 and 10.2% in 2QFY15).

Cairn had planned to spend USD3b over the next three years of which USD2.4b
will be spent on Rajasthan, with 81% to be spent in FY15 and FY16.
Fall in the crude price will definitely lead to realignment of the Cairn’s capex
program. Management has indicated that low oil price gives them optionality to
be selective about growth projects.
CAIR in 1QFY15 increased in-place oil and gas resources at Rajasthan from 7b
boe (4bboe discovered + 3bboe under exploration) to 10bboe and the current
FY14-16 exploration program is targeting the initial 7bboe resource base.
Cairn tested ~50% of the undiscovered 3bboe reserves and in the ongoing
exploration program it has reported 11 discoveries of the 36 wells drilled.
It plans to test the remaining 50% of 3bboe resources by FY16 and beyond FY16
will be targeting to test the newly added 3bboe of resources.

Valuation and view







Key event to watchout would be CAIR’s realignment of the capex plan in view of
sharp fall in the crude prices and likely impact on the production guidance.
Other events to watch out are (1) Rajasthan production trend, (2) Updates on
reserves and (3) Update on other exploration blocks and (4) clarity on Rajasthan
PSC extension.
With cash at INR178b and USD1.25b loan to parent, to watch out for future cash
utilization.
As against current Rajasthan production of ~180kbps, CAIR’s production
guidance of 7-10% looks challenging and we model ~6% CAGR in our estimates
with FY16/FY17 at 197/215kbpd respectively.
As cut our Brent price assumption for FY16/17 from USD75/85/bbl to
USD60/70/bbl resulting in 26% cut in FY16/17 estimates.
We maintain absolute dividend of INR12.5/sh in FY15 but continue to model
20% payout from FY16.
The stock trades at 10.7x FY16E EPS of INR22.4 and has dividend yield of ~5%
(based on fixed payout). Our SOTP based fair value stands at INR250 (v/s INR275
earlier), Maintain Neutral.
