UBS Investment Research
Oberoi Realty
2 QFY12: Operationally steady
􀂄 Event: 2Q12 Earnings ahead of UBSe
Q2 Revenues grew 31% YoY to Rs 2.2bn (ahead of UBSe of Rs 1.6bn). EBITDA
margins declined to 52% (vs. 56% in Q1) driven by cost revision on projects,
however, EBITDA grew 15% YoY to Rs 1.15bn. Net Income grew 17% YoY to
Rs 1.11bn on higher interest income. Pre-sales lower at 0.18msf (vs. 0.21msf Q1),
however we believe this is positive relative to Mumbai absorption (down 30-40%).
􀂄 Impact: Maintain 24% earnings CAGR through FY14E
With 1) pre-sales momentum on Goregaon projects picking up during the festive
season in Q3, plans to raise prices in 3QFY12 for few of its ongoing projects; 2)
Rentals and hotel revenues expected to grow; and 3) New launches of Worli-Oasis
(by 4QFY12) and Mulund (1QFY13) - we forecast earnings to grow 24% through
FY14E.
􀂄 Action: Re-iterate Buy; Cash utilization, Pre-sales pickup key catalysts
We see key catalysts of 1) Efficient cash utilization (Rs ~12bn) on distressed
opportunities amid deteriorating market conditions 2) Pre-sales better than Mumbai
market given regulatory uncertainties 3) Growing rental annuity stream. Further,
we see Oberoi leveraging its cash reserves – recent acquisition of ICICI Ventures’
50% stake in prime land at Worli, Mumbai (approx Rs 2.8bn) at lower than market
prices, makes it value-accretive; expect more such acquisition-led growth ahead.
􀂄 Valuation: Attractive at 41% disc to NAV
With stock trading at 41% disc to NAV Rs 400, we find valuations attractive. We
view Oberoi as a relatively defensive play in the current risk-averse environment.
We base our price target on a 25% discount to our NAV estimate.

􀁑 Statement of Risk
