PWGR’s 2QFY12 adjusted profit at Rs7.8bn (up 31% yoy) was higher than our estimate of
Rs7.3bn, primarily on higher other income. In the quarter, PWGR capitalised ~Rs32bn worth of
assets, taking 1HFY12 capatilisation at ~Rs40bn, in line to achieve our estimate of Rs80bn for
FY12. Buy.
Better than expected earnings on higher other income
􀀟 PWGR's 2QFY12 results were better than our estimate primarily on higher other income vs
estimate.
􀀟 In 2QFY12, PWGR adjusted sales at Rs22.7bn (up 6.7% yoy) and adjusted EBITDA at
Rs19.2bn (up 7.6% yoy) were in line with our estimate of Rs22.9bn and Rs19.2bn,
respectively.
􀀟 However, adjusted profit at Rs7.8bn (up 31% yoy) was higher than our estimate of Rs7.3bn,
largely due to higher other income at Rs1.94bn (up 102% yoy).
􀀟 Other income was higher due to dividend income from JVs received in the quarter at
~Rs200m (dividend income was booked in 1Q in FY11 vs 2Q in FY12) and ~Rs400m interest
received on bills arrears from various SEBs.
􀀟 Broad break-up of other income: 1) interest from banks Rs780m, 2) interest on bills arrears
from various SEBs Rs400m, 3) interest on bonds Rs250m, 4) lease income Rs120m, 5)
dividend income Rs200m, 6) miscellaneous income Rs192m.
􀀟 Note that 2QFY12 revenue and PBT did not include the contribution from POSOCO assets
(included in 2QFY11 revenue at Rs815m and PBT at Rs186m), which has been transferred to
100% subsidiary in October 2010. Hence, ULDC/RLDC revenue and PBT is not comparable
yoy.
􀀟 Also, O&M expenditure includes system operating charges of Rs195m for 1HFY12 (Rs50m
for 2QFY12) for which revenue has not been booked pending finalisation by the regulator.
Strong capitalisation in the quarter
􀀟 In the quarter, PWGR capitalised ~Rs32bn worth of assets, taking 1HFY12 capatilisation at
~Rs40bn ( down 24% YoY).
􀀟 Note that PWGR capitalised Rs73bn worth of assets in FY11, with very strong capitalisation
contribution in 1HFY11 at 72% of total. Hence, lower capitalisation yoy in 1HFY12 is not a
cause for concern.
􀀟 We project PWGR will capitalise Rs80bn in FY12 and capatilisation, so far, gives us
confidence that our projection should be achieved.

We prefer PWGR to other Indian utilities; maintain Buy
􀀟 We prefer PWGR to other Indian utilities as: 1) it is partially insulated from coal shortage
issues faced by power generators; 2) low risk to our earnings CAGR of 14% over FY11-14F;
3) it factors in no tax arbitrage profits (NTPC and NHPC do) and so there is no downside risk
from this; and 4) we think the stock should outperform given its earnings quality, strong
momentum and sustainable ROE. At P/BV of 1.8x FY13F BV, valuations look reasonable to
us.
