Purulia financial closure a big positive
„ Purulia project Phase 1A financial closure completed
Purulia project is one of the largest steel projects in India (5m mtpa steel,
1,200MW power), with 100% thermal coal integration, to be executed in modules
to address funding issues. Phase 1A of this project entails capex of Rs 18.7bn and
comprises of 2m mtpa beneficiation, 1.2m mtpa pallet, 0.66m mtpa sponge iron,
70MW power and 0.3m mtpa EAF. The company today announced financial
closure for this phase 1A - Rs12.3bn debt by SBI-led consortium and balance
Rs6.4bn through internal accruals/fresh equity.
„ Stock down on dilution concerns – misplaced, in our view
Stock has come off on low volumes on worries about potential dilution – maybe
misreading Rs6.4bn of equity requirement to be met largely from fresh equity. We
spoke to management - the consortium has mandated Rs1bn of fresh equity
(balance Rs5.4bn from internal accruals), even though cashflows can support entire
equity requirement. This is given existing high debt:equity of 2x. The financial
closure provides visibility on monetisation of its 700mn tones of coal resources.
„ Attractive opportunity to buy
We believe the current share price only reflects the value of existing operations
(based on replacement cost and 4.7x FY12E EV/EBITDA, a discount to peers). We
believe coal resources and the Purulia expansion provide significant long-term
upside.
„ Valuation: Reiterate Buy, PT Rs450
We derive our PT from a DCF-based methodology using UBS’s VCAM tool
assuming WACC of 12.3% and 1% terminal growth.
