Reliance Industries
Lower FY11 EPSe on prolonged shutdown
􀂄 Lower FY11 refining and petchem EBIT estimate
We cut our FY11 est. EPS by 5.68% on longer than expected shutdown of the
FCCU (Fluidised Catalytic Cracking Unit) which will impact 4Q refining margins.
FCCU converts heavy oil into the pricier gasoline/LPG and we earlier expected a
three week vs. the six week maintenance/inspection shutdown. Additionally,
despite rising margins in the polyester chain and higher prices internationally, we
believe there is some resistance in the domestic market on hiking prices so rapidly.
􀂄 Reliance’s GRM may only improve modestly QoQ
Despite higher Singapore Reuters margins (US$5.5/bbl in 3Q to US$7.3/bbl in
4Q), partly driven by closure of capacity in Japan, we expect Reliance’s GRM to
improve only modestly in 4Q11 to US$9.7/bbl vs US$9.0/bbl in 3Q due to poorer
product mix on prolonged FCCU shutdown which reduced the gasoline yield.
􀂄 Rollover to FY13 EBITDA
We value the refining & petchem. business on 7x fwd EV/EBITDA. We recently
rolled over to FY13 from FY12 EBITDA and hence raised our TP to Rs1,115 from
Rs1,050. We assume a peak production of 60mmscmd from KG-D6 in FY13 and
beyond vs 50 mmscmd currently. And a price increase to US$ 6.3/mmbtu in FY15.
􀂄 Valuation: Limited growth prospects till FY14
We maintain a Neutral rating on RIL as we see limited growth catalysts for the
next 2 years as 1) we expect flat gas volumes; and 2) we expect modest
improvement in petrochemicals and refining margins which constitute a third of
the EBITDA each. The volume expansion in petrochemicals will be reflected only
in FY14.
