Oberoi reported 2Q earnings of Rs1.1B, up 17% Y/Y & above our estimate of
Rs802M driven by higher than expected revenue recognition. EBITDA
margins at 52% were although lower by 400bps Q/Q, due to high contribution
from Splendor project which got handed over during Sep-Q. On operating
basis, bookings run rate remained largely stable given no new launches;
however incremental office leasing has been muted. Sep-Q marked the
beginning of cash deployment with stake buyout of Glaxo project; however we
do not expect a meaningful value accretion from the project (JPMe-
Rs4/share) unless co. is able to achieve higher FSI (>2). OBER’s valuations
(1.7x FY13 P/B) are at a premium to the sector even as Mumbai RE market is
slowing down & there are limited company specific catalysts in the near term.
We do not see meaningful stock outperformance in the near term.
 Financial Highlights- 1] 2Q Development revenues of Rs1.6B were up
33% Y/Y and 61% Q/Q; 2] EBITDA margins stood at 52%, down 400bps
Q/Q due to high contribution from Splendor project; 3] Rental income at
Rs322M remained largely stable Q/Q; 4] Hospitality EBITDA at Rs28M
was down 39% Q/Q due to low occupancy levels (at 56.5% vs. 67% in 1Q)
given seasonally weak period.
 Operational Highlights – 1] 2Q new bookings of Rs2.3B, up 80% Y/Y &
down 10% Q/Q, were driven by Goregaon project. This takes overall 1H pre
sales to Rs4.9B. While the current sales run rate is tracking below our full
year estimate (Rs11.2B), a pick up in 2H would hinge on progress of new
launches; 2] Incremental leasing at Commerz I (office) has been at standstill
over last one year (~75% levels). This is concerning given co. has additional
2msf of office space under construction, which faces competition from
Central Mumbai projects (similar rentals), in our view; 3] O/S order book of
Rs13.5B & expectation of a large project (Esquire) reaching recognition
threshold in 2H provides high revenue visibility near term.
 Recent stake buyout in Glaxo Worli project (4 acre) has largely been
done at current market valuations. At implied land cost of Rs10-11K psf
(assuming an FSI of 2x), we do not expect a meaningful value accretion
from the project (~Rs4/share on our estimate) unless co. is able to achieve
higher FSI. The transaction however would be earnings accretive over the
next 2-3 years as it starts flowing through P/L from FY13/14 onwards.
