H i g h e r   r e a l i s a t i o n   l e a d s   t o   s p u r t   i n   m a r g i n s …
JK  Cement’s Q3FY12  net  sales  of  |  615  crore,  EBITDA  of  |  119  crore  and
PAT of | 43.5 crore were above our respective estimates of | 579 crore,
| 92 crore and | 24 crore. This was primarily on account of higher than
expected blended realisation, which increased ~14% QoQ to
| 4654/tonne (our estimate: | 4330/tonne). The EBITDA margin of 19.4%
(our estimate: 15.8%) increased 795  bps YoY as higher realisations
negated the increase in costs. On a per tonne basis, EBITDA increased
significantly to | 902/tonne during  the quarter against | 427/tonne in
Q3FY11. Blended volumes picked up during the quarter as demand
improved post monsoon. Going forward, we expect volumes to increase
at ~5% CAGR during FY11-13E to 5.96 MT in FY13E. Blended EBITDA is
expected to improve to | 817/tonne in FY12E and | 820/tonne in FY13E
against | 484/tonne in FY11.
ƒ Blended cement volume up ~4% YoY, realisation up ~25% YoY
Blended cement sales volumes (grey and white) increased ~4%
YoY (~6% QoQ) to 1.32 MT on account of a pick-up in construction
activities post monsoons. Blended cement realisation increased
~25% YoY (~14% QoQ) to |  4654/tonne. The blended EBITDA
increased to | 902/tonne in Q3FY12 as against | 427/tonne in
Q3FY11 and | 477/tonne in Q2FY11. The improvement in margin
was primarily on account of a rise in realisations, which negated the
impact of an increase in input costs, which increased ~ 13% YoY (~
4% QoQ), to | 3752/tonne.
V a l u a t i o n
At the CMP of | 137, the stock is trading at 6.6x and 6.1x its FY12E and
FY13E earnings, respectively. The stock is trading at an EV/EBITDA of 4.4x
and 3.8x FY12E and FY13E EBITDA, respectively. On an EV/tonne basis,
the stock is trading at $50 at its FY13E capacity. We have valued the
FY13E blended capacity of 7.9 MT at $55/tonne, which is ~60% discount
to the current replacement cost of $135/tonne. We have maintained our
BUY rating with a revised target price of | 161/share.
