Sufficient coking coal stocks until March, spot prices not viable
 Coking coal: JSTL has sufficient stocks until March-2011; in addition it has sourced c75,000t from the US at USD225/t;
expects end-production demand destruction at USD300/t and therefore sees recent spike in spot prices as unviable.
 Inline with previous communication, the company expects strong 4Q FY11 EBITDA/t (at USD170+).
 ISPAT acquisition: expects near term improvement in EBITDA/t at INR3,500-4,000.
Key synergies outlined:
 INR900-1,000/t saving on transportation costs.
 VAT benefits from ISPAT to the tune of INR1,400/t.
 Iron ore sourcing from Bellary much cheaper than Orissa.
 Cheaper power from JSW Energy (INR4.5 unit vs INR6 unit that ISPAT currently pays).
 US subsidiary: company has a new CEO. Sees breakeven PAT at 35% utilization (15% currently).

Valuation and risks
 We value JSW on FY12e EV/EBITDA of 6.5x. We derive a target price of INR1,370 and are Neutral (V) on the stock.
 Key downside risks include unfavourable steel and raw material price movement. Timely execution of 3.2mtpa expansion
at Vijaynagar is also a key risk.
