Share Market Result Update on Sarda Energy and Minerals for 1QFY2012

ShareMarket Result Update on Sarda Energy and Minerals for 1QFY2012 with a Buy recommendation and a Target Price of `259 (12 months).

For 1QFY2012, Sarda Energy and Minerals (SEML) reported net sales growth of 17.2% yoy to `254cr. However, adjusted net profit declined by 48.3% yoy to `14cr due to higher costs. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock.

Ferro alloy segment drags SEML’s 1QFY2012 profitability: During 1QFY2012, SEML’s net sales grew by 17.2% yoy to `254cr due to higher realisation in the steel segment coupled with higher sales volume of billets, ingots and power. Blended steel realisation grew by 96.1% yoy to `33,036/tonne on account of improved product mix. EBITDA margin declined substantially by 857bp yoy to 14.4% mainly on account of higher raw-material costs. Thus, EBITDA declined by 26.6% yoy to `37cr. EBIT of the ferro alloys segment declined by 73.0% yoy to `7cr on account of lower realisation coupled with higher prices of key inputs. Interest costs for the quarter increased by 112.6% yoy to `6cr, owing to which adjusted net profit declined by 48.3% yoy to `14cr.

Outlook and valuation: We continue to believe that SEML is well poised to benefit from a) backward integration into coal and iron ore, b) commercial production of pellets and c) increased power and ferro alloy production. Moreover, firm sponge iron and billet prices should lead to higher capacity utilisation in FY2012 and FY2013, thereby leading to higher sales volumes. A key catalyst for the stock would be restarting of its iron ore operations at Rajnandgaon. We recommend Buy with a target price of `259, valuing the stock at 5.5x FY2013E EV/EBITDA.

Stock Market Update on Hindustan Zinc for 1QFY2012

Stock Market  Update on Hindustan Zinc for 1QFY2012 with an Accumulate recommendation and a Target Price `156 (12 months)

For 1QFY2012, Hindustan Zinc’s (HZL) net revenue at `2,821cr was marginally lower than our estimate of `2,941cr. However, net profit at `1,495cr was in-line with our estimate of `1,532cr. We recommend Accumulate on the stock.

Strong performance continues in 1QFY2012: HZL’s net revenue increased by 44.6% yoy to `2,821cr on account of higher sales volume and realisation. Despite the shutdown at Rampura Agucha mine during the quarter, zinc volumes grew by 16.5% yoy to 192kt and lead sales volumes grew by 4.5% yoy to 15kt. Silver sales volume increased by 14.2% yoy to 40,908kg and lead concentrate sales stood at 10,086dmt. Average zinc, lead and silver realisation increased by 11.6%, 25.5% and 98.0% yoy, respectively. On the operating front, staff cost declined by 14.0% yoy to `127cr, which led to EBITDA margin expanding by 406bp yoy to 56.4%. Thus, EBITDA grew by 55.8% yoy to `1,592cr. Further, other income was higher by 124.3% yoy to `355cr, which resulted in net profit growing by 67.8% yoy to `1,495cr despite depreciation increasing by 19.8% yoy to `135cr and higher tax rate at 17.1%.

Outlook and valuation: Currently, the stock is trading at 5.9x FY2012E and 4.4x FY2013E EV/EBITDA. We expect HZL to benefit from the expansion of zinc-lead smelting capacity during FY2012–13. Furthermore, HZL’s expansion in silver-rich Sindesar Khurd mine should result in robust bottom-line growth. HZL had a huge cash balance of `15,720cr as of June 30, 2011 (`37 per share).  We recommend Accumulate on the stock with a target price of `156.
