Keynote Capitals report on Shriram EPC IPO

Recommendation - Subscribe with a long term view

* Shriram EPC (SEPC) is a leading provider of integrated design, EPC and project management services for renewable energy projects, process and metallurgical plants and municipal services.
* The JVs with Leitwind BV, Netherlands for wind turbine generators (WTGs), Hamon BV, Netherlands for Cooling towers and Air pollution control systems and other JVs give access to technological know-how, project management skills and helps build strong client relationships.
* 41% of the IPO proceeds will be utilized for equity investments in the subsidiary and associate companies. While no fresh capex is being planned in SEPC, these investments will help consolidate and bring operations of these respective companies under SEPC’s fold.
* The revenue and PAT grew @ CAGR 138% and 287% respectively during FY04-07 reflecting aggression on the part of the management, as also the base effect.
* We believe the healthy order book of Rs22.8Bn will translate into revenues and earnings growth over the next 3 years. We expect revenues and PAT to grow @ CAGR of 70.8% and 74.3% respectively during FY08-10, on the back of the healthy order book and higher revenues from Mega-watt and Kilo-watt class WTGs.
* The investment concerns include low pricing power resulting in poor EBITDA margins and high level of receivables and order execution risks.
* The IPO is priced at 49.1x FY08E, 25.1x FY09E and 16.2x FY10E earnings. We note the relatively small size and very short track record vis-à-vis peers. While we believe it is expensive vis-à-vis WTG/EPC peers like Gamesa, Suzlon Energy and Indowind Energy we are of the view that it can be a good play on combined potential of the EPC / WTG sectors, especially given the global institutional appetite for the renewable energy segment. We therefore recommend investing with a long term perspective.

Investment Concerns
* The business is in early stages and is yet to achieve significant scalability.
* Order execution risks
* Top 10 clients contributed 85.2% of revenues in H1FY08.
* Dependence on JVs with international players Viz, Leitwind, Hamon Group, Orient
Green Power, etc.

Valuation

The stock is currently available at a P/E of 300x to 332x on the lower & upper price bands respectively of its FY 08E EPS of Re.0.93. The industry P/E is at 25x which shows that this issue is highly priced. The EV/Bed of WHL is at 23x & 26x on the lower & upper price EV bands respectively where as that of Apollo & Fortis is at 4x & 15x respectively, which again shows that the issue is expensive.

Big Bazaar evaluating funding options for expansion

Even as it goes through the process of becoming an independent entity, Big Bazaar, the hypermarket of the over Rs 4,000-crore Future Group, said that it has embarked on an aggressive expansion for the next two years.

Mr Rajan Malhotra, CEO, Big Bazaar, said: “We plan to invest substantial amounts in the next one-and-a-half to two years in order to increase our footprint to 300 by the end of June 2009.” Big Bazaar currently has 80 stores across the country and has already signed property for another 140 outlets. Industry sources said that the company has plans of investing nearly Rs 3,000 crore over the next two years.

According to sources, the company is evaluating different possibilities such as internal accruals, debt and strategic investment possibilities such as getting the funds from private investors and private equity players to fund expansion. In fact, officials in the know say that Big Bazaar could consider an initial public offer to raise the funds.

In-house labels:
Mr Malhotra said that in terms of strategy for the coming couple of years, the hypermarket will put extra focus on in-house labels that are going mainstream. “We will definitely provide more visibility to our private label brands that are now going mainstream,” he said. The brands would be across categories such as home linen, footwear, apparels and consumer durables amongst others. Some private labels that have already seen a mainstream launch are apparel brands Bare and John Miller and home linen brand Dreamline. These will be followed by mainstream launches of well performing food brands such as Tasty Treats and Fresh n’ Pure.

Hive-off plans:
On the Group’s plans to hive off the hypermarket format into an independent entity, Mr Malhotra said, “Yes, we are hiving it off and creating an independent structure. In fact, we have already started the procedure. The issue has been discussed at the recent board meeting and a clear picture should emerge within the next few weeks.”

The company, however, maintained that there would not be any major structural or strategic shift due to the hive-off. “We do not plan to change any strategy as a result of the hiving-off. The idea is to create an independent sustainable environment out of the format, since it already is one of the largest contributing formats to the overall revenues,” said Mr Malhotra. He added, “We at Big Bazaar hope to touch the $2-billion mark by the end of 2009.”

Sale event:
On Big Bazaar’s largest sale event, the three-day sale, from January 25-27 on the occasion of Republic Day, Mr Malhotra said, “This is the biggest promotional offer that Big Bazaar does in the year. Last year, we made Rs 140 crore as revenues during the three days. This year, we hope to touch the Rs 200-crore mark”, reports The Hindu Business Line.

It’s a stock that is to be held for a longer period of time purely to play the power sector and the up side in the power sectors in India and to that extent, it’s along term call. “

He further added, “The listings, grey market calls, those are the sentiments driven by the market. We believe the market will be strong going forward in February ahead of the budget and the listing would be sometime in the middle of that month of February. Obviously the stock would be quite decently listed.

Emkay Share and Stock Brokers report on OnMobile Global IPO

OnMobile Global is a leading provider of telecom value added services (VAS) in India and is expanding its international presence, especially in the emerging markets of Asia. The company offers value added services such as ringback tones, voice portals, ringtone downloads, etc. to its carrier customers. OnMobile not only rides on the telecom growth with increasing subscribers, but also enables operators to protect their ARPUs by providing innovative services, thus generating a pull from them.

Service offerings

OnMobile's offerings include services like ringback tones, voicemail, missed call alerts, voice SMS, music solutions, information and entertainment solutions (stock alerts, sports & news updates, etc) interactive media solutions, m-commerce solutions (mobile ticketing, bill payment, etc) mobile marketing solutions, etc.

Strong customer base

OnMobile's customers include major telecom operators like Bharti Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone, Tata Teleservices, Reliance Communications and Idea Cellular in India. It also offers the services to international operators such as Sheba Telecom Bangladesh, Maxis Malaysia, BTEL and Indosat in Indonesia and SingTel Optus Australia and media companies like AOL, Disney, ESPN, etc.

Robust growth opportunity

The Indian mobile telecom industry is witnessing a robust growth, with the mobile subscribers increasing from 13mn in 2003 to 230mn in December 2007. The lower penetration (~20%), along with the falling handset prices and widening network coverage together provide huge potential for further growth in the mobile subscribers. With robust monthly subscriber additions, Gartner expects the mobile subscriber base to increase by a CAGR of 27% to 462mn by 2011.

While the mobile subscriber base is rapidly growing, the average revenue per user (ARPU) is consistently declining, provoking the mobile operators to find ways to generate higher ARPU thus making a strong business case for companies like OnMobile.

OnMobile's service offerings create new revenue sources for its customers primarily the telecom operators, who are desperately exploring ways to increase their ARPUs. OnMobile derives its revenues on a revenue sharing model from the revenues generated by the carriers using the value added services provided by the company. OnMobile's revenue share typically ranges between 15-40% averaging at 20-25%.

The rising demand for value added services along with the want of higher margins by the operators are the primary drivers for the growth in this segment. The value added services segment of the mobile sector in India is expected to grow at a 36% CAGR from Rs65bn in 2007 to Rs225bn in 2011. With the normal person-to-person (P2P) SMS contributing around 45-50% of the VAS market, the remaining 50-55% of the market is the target market for OnMobile.

Valuation & recommendation

With strong presence in the value added services market and very good relationships with carriers, OnMobile is likely to benefit from the growth in the Indian and international telecom markets. Considering the strong growth opportunity in Indian as well as international telecom markets, and healthy operating margins enjoyed by the company (~45%), we believe that OnMobile is poised for a robust revenue growth in excess of 50% over FY07-10E and an even higher earnings growth due to higher operating leverage. The company also has strong ROE and ROCE of over 30%, which is not only sustainable but also likely to improve. At upper end of the price band of Rs 450 per share, the stock is offered at around 10x EV/EBIDTA and 15x earnings for FY10E. Thus we recommend subscribe on the issue.

Concerns

* OnMobile's business depends on technological and product innovations. Inability to innovate new solutions that are accepted by the market could affect the future growth of the company.
* A reduction in the end-user pricing by the carrier customers could result in loss of revenues as the company primarily derives revenues on sharing arrangement with the carriers.
* OnMobile's major carrier customers operate in a regulated environment and any changes in regulation could affect the operations of the company.

They have also been executing projects, funded by multilateral agencies like World Bank and Asian Development Bank.

Expertise in sourcing and maintaining supply chain for raw material

One of the primary raw materials required for all road constructions projects is stone aggregate. KNRCL’s requirement is met out of boulders crushed through their own crushers at various sites. It enables to control the operating costs and the project execution period. Procurement from the captive quarries has also enabled an assured supply on a timely basis at reasonable prices.

Concerns

Competition

KNRCL operates in a competitive environment. While service quality, technical ability, performance record, experience, health and safety records and the availability of skilled personnel are key factors in client decisions among competitors, price is often the deciding factor in most tender awards. KNRC mainly competes with domestic Indian entities in the different segments in which they operate. Some of key competitors are MSK Projects Limited, Patel Engineering, Sadbhav Engineering Limited, and Madhucon Projects Limited.

Heavy dependence on road transportation engineering projects

As on September 30, 2007 revenues from road transportation-engineering segment has contributed to approximately 95% of the income from operations on consolidated basis. The balance order book of the Company as on November 30, 2007 also reflects substantial dependence of Company on the segment, 89.34% of the total balance order book position.

This segment is able to generate operating revenues of about 12.5%-13% on the upper side. Also KNRCL’s operations primarily comprise of contracts under the NHDP awarded by NHAI, which is a government agency and various State Governments. There may be delays associated with collection of receivables from the Government, Government owned or controlled entities. KNRCL also derives a major portion of the revenues from contracts, which they have/are jointly executed/executing with Patel Engineering Limited.

Valuations

The issue is priced at 23.94x FY07 earnings on post issue capital at floor price and at 25.35x at cap price.

Recommendation

With an order book of Rs 1734 crore for a period of 24 – 30 months which translates to 5.4x of FY 07 revenues, KNRCL seems to be well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities showing good growth prospects in the future.

Based on the valuations of 23.94x and 25.35x at a price band of 170 and 180 respectively the issue looks to be reasonably priced as compared to its peers. With the gearing up of infrastructural development, aggressive development plans and strong order book in hand we believe KNRCL is well poised to take advantage of the opportunity Also the current order book provides strong visibility for the future revenue growth of the company. We recommend our investors to subscribe to the issue with a long term view.

Good IPOs will continue to get good response

USD 190 billion is the demand for the USD 2.5 billion Reliance Power IPO and it is a record for the Indian markets.

The issue, which closed today, has attracted a whopping USD 190 billion. It has been subscribed 72.5 times, with the QIB portion being subscribed 80 times. The HNI portion has been subscribed 200 times and the retail portion has been subscribed 15 times.

The issue has broken the record set when Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Petroleum tapped the capital markets. The retail portion of the IPO has seen 45 lakh applications, more than double the 21 lakh applications garnered by the Reliance Petroleum IPO’s retail portion.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Vallabh Bhansali, Chairman, Enam said that they were slightly surprised by the overwhelming response. He added that the response has come on the face of some of the worst markets seen in recent times. According to Bhansali, good IPOs are priced well and will continue to receive good response.

Excerpts from CNBC-TV18’s exclusive interview with Vallabh Bhansali:

Q: Were you slightly surprised, especially by the kind of response seen from HNI?

A: We were all surprised by the overwhelming response in each of the categories. We were absolutely overwhelmed.

Q: Where has the demand come from? Could you give us a slightly more detailed breakdown?

A: It has come from every nook and corner, from institutional investor of every shade. It has come from every investor around the country. It has come from HNIs and corporates and every kind of investor one could think of. This has come very significantly on the face of some of the worst markets that we have seen in recent times.

Q: Around USD 1.5 billion was withdrawn, by foreign investors, in the last three days. That is USD 133 billion in market cap wiped out in a week, not quite the best conditions for this and many more IPOs that are lined up. What is your thought on the environment?

A: We have to reckon with this environment. I think people are conscious that the US is going through a difficult phase and it has to have an effect on global markets. But one does not know on what week, day and hour, when this trouble strikes. I think it just so happened that it has been striking this week.

I do think that India is a very good story, wherever these stocks had run-up. So, maybe there is a correction. But the good IPOs priced well and will continue to receive good response.

Q: We have seen foreign institutional investors withdrawing large sums of money in the last three trading sessions. Now we know what is going on in the US. But how optimistic are you that this is just a correction and we will see money coming back into India?

A: The result season is still not over; it has just started. I think the results, starting with the technology results, have been good and will continue to be the main plank, which will attract money. We are seeing some slowdown in some areas of the economy, but the services sector continues to be very strong.

The market has been very intelligent, in terms of punishing stocks, wherever the rally was unsustainable. Therefore, for the last several days, we have seen some categories of stocks go down continuously, even when the broader market was rallying.

So, you are seeing intelligence at play. You are not seeing extraordinary panic or hurt behaviour beyond a point. This is a market, which is driven largely by retail. That is a cause of worry, but it also corrects itself as it has.

So, all in all, the fundamentals of India continue to remain strong, even if industrial production seems to be slowing down for a while. It is the relative attractiveness of India, compared to lot of other markets in the world and that will continue to be the theme.

Q: Were there any anxious moments? We saw the markets correcting and correcting so sharply just when the IPO opened?

A: I think we had some anxious moments, at some point of time, whether the panic will reach to the FIIs particularly and would there be any withdrawals. But that was only internal because over the last night, when the global markets were not really giving great comfort, we saw continuous and sustained interest of FIIs.

On January 18, as soon as the day opened, we were able to get large orders into the book. I believe other lead managers do the same thing. So, the anxious moments were really more in our mind. There was no evidence of any withdrawal, at any point of time, in any segment. So, this has been an extraordinary overwhelming experience.

Q: Initially you talked about the impact of the global market meltdown on the IPO pipeline. Do you actually see the IPO pipeline drying up for the moment, if the situation does not improve?

A: Some times what happens is that if you see quality companies come to the market, people reserve the money for the IPO market, rather than put it in the secondary market. Sometimes they withdraw that money because in the IPO market, particularly in QIPs, people see good prospects of getting the allocation that they want.

So, there is difficulty in the market and the pricing has to be attractive for the IPOs to succeed. But we have seen the demand for Future Capital and we have seen extraordinary demand for Reliance Power, in the face of these markets.

Therefore, one likes to think that there is a discerning decision or discerning mechanism in play and people are trying to buy good companies for the long-term and withdraw from segments and stocks, that they see as overpriced in this market.

Q: Are you are expecting a record breaking opening as well?

A: Why not.

Subscribe to Rel Power with long term view

Keynote Capitals has come out with research report on Reliance Power IPO. The firm has recommended subscribing to the issue with a long term view.

The initial public offer of Reliance Power, ADAG group company, has opened for subscription today. The company is offering 22.8 crore equity shares through this issue in the price band of Rs 405-450 per share and raising nearly Rs 10530-11700 crore (USD 2.67- 2.97 billion).

The issue will close for subscription on January 18, 2008. Net issue would constitute 10.1% of post issue paid up capital of the company.

Keynote Capitals report on Reliance Power IPO

Recommendation - Subscribe with a long term view

* Reliance Power, part of RADAG has been set up to develop, construct and operate power projects domestically and internationally. It aims to develop 13 power projects with an aggregated generation capacity of 28,200 MW.
* Reliance Power will have a diversified project portfolio in terms of geography, fuel mix and technology.
* Nine of the proposed thirteen projects are coal-fired or gas-based and two of those have fuel security; the rest are yet to be finalised. In our view, for such huge capacity, fuel linkage is of paramount importance
* Long term PPAs for 8,560MW have been signed, constituting just 32% of the aggregated generating capacity. Of these, Sasan project (based on domestically procured coal) and Krishnapatnam project (based on imported coal) have been signed at a tariff of Rs1.19kw/h and 2.33kw/h per unit respectively, the differential attributable to the high cost of imported coal. A large number of PPAs are yet to be signed, reflecting some ambiguity on profitability.
* We believe equipment sourcing will be critical for Reliance Power being able to commission projects on schedule. Other key factors, apart from capital costs, are timely deliveries of equipment and maintenance costs.
* We believe the Group can draw synergies from the expertise of Reliance Energy in EPC in executing projects of Reliance Power.
* Our concerns include lack of fuel linkages except for 2 projects, coal prices and gas and equipment availability. Also in view of the gap between the aggregate project outlay of Rs 1,12,129 crore and post-IPO net worth of Rs 13,707 crore, we believe Reliance Power may have to opt for further equity dilution going forward, in order to maintain a manageable debt-equity ratio going forward.
* While the high promoter holding of around 90% post-listing is a positive, it may be viewed negatively from the point of view of minority shareholders, since the latter will enter the company @ Rs450 per share vis-à-vis promoters’ average cost of Rs 16.92 per share.
* Given the long gestation period of projects, which are likely to get commissioned from FY10 onwards, we have considered non-earnings related valuation parameters. The valuation of the IPO in terms of price/book (7.4x FY08E) appears expensive vis-à-vis NTPC (2.8x) and Tata Power (4.5x).
* The issue appears expensive, also on the basis of asset valuation (estimated valuation of generating capacity) in FY13. It is only on the basis of FY17 estimates, that the issue looks attractive.
* However, we believe the aggression and track record of the promoter group in shareholder wealth creation in all its businesses including telecommunications, power distribution, financial services and entertainment is likely to have a positive rub-off effect on this IPO as well. We therefore recommend investors to subscribe to the IPO from a long-term point of view.

Company intends to sell the power generated by these projects under a combination of long-term and short-term PPAs to state-owned and private distribution companies and industrial consumers. In addition to the 28,200 MW of power projects, company intends to develop additional power projects to help meet the huge demand in this sector. Company is considering the development of CBM (Coal Bed Methane) power generation projects based on fuel from CBM blocks being explored by a consortium that includes company’s affiliates.

The company is the primary vehicle for investments in the power generation in Reliance ADA group. The company has entered and intended to enter into various arrangements with companies of Reliance ADA group, including REL, RNRL and Reliance Energy Transmission. This will help the company in drawing upon the considerable expertise and resources these affiliates have in the energy sector.

After commissioning of these proposed projects over next few years the company would be among one of the major power producing company in India. The company enjoys the lower risk due to its well diversified project portfolio comprising of coal , gas and hydro.

The company with its strategies like lower cost of generation, fast completion of projects and efficient operations looks an attractive issue to deploy the funds. Investor can “Subscribe” the issue.

Reliance Power will oversubscribe hopelessly

Q: The space everyone will talk about from now up until when the IPO kicks off its power. What’s a good way to approach Reliance Power?

A: I don’t think everybody will get much allotment in the Reliance Power IPO, because it will be hopelessly oversubscribed. So you need to now focus your eyes on what happens post-listing and when you take a look at the grey market then you worry a little bit, not a little bit more than a little bit because the grey market price is somewhere around Rs 900 that’s double of the IPO price. Whatever good to that one is heard from the management on the Reliance Power IPO and there were many positives, which came through from the media conference at Rs 900 its very difficult unless the market remains in this very frothy frame of mind on the sector its extremely difficult to justify that price because at Rs 900 you are talking about 2 lakh crore marketcap for Reliance Power, you got to look four-five years out and still you will be scratching your heads to justify that.

Reliance Industries one-year back in February 2007 was at 2 lakh crores marketcap and not even a year has passed since Reliance crossed over that 2 lakh crore marketcap. But that’s apples and oranges just look at Reliance Power at Rs 900 our estimates are that in FY11 we are sitting in FY08 right now, so straight away you take a leap of three-years for generation and you may find that they have 6,000 megawatts in FY11 that’s three-years down the line assuming faultless execution.

You want to look at sales and earnings you take a bigger leap go to FY13 that’s five-years from now, FY13 what the pre-multiple would be on our expected delivery - 90. We are talking about 90-times FY13 earnings if all goes well on execution for Reliance Power at Rs 900. If you look at four-years out FY012 and attribute some sales number to the kind of generation that they have, you are almost talking about 30-times sales for FY012 that’s four-years down the line. It’s a good space and probably this company will do lots of exciting things down the line but sitting out here to justify Rs 900 per share on Reliance Power even if you have that perspective of three-four years, five-years down the line seems like a big leap of faith.
