PTC India reported a disappointing set of Q3FY12 numbers as volume degrowth of 22% YoY was below our expectations of 11% YoY growth.
Hence, the volumes traded for Q3FY12 stood at 4.6 billion units (BUs) (Idirect estimate: 6.5 BUs). Sales stood at | 1330 crore vs. our expectation
of | 2343 crore. Core trading margins in Q3FY12 stood at 4 paisa (I-direct
estimate: 4.5 paisa) whereas the same stood at 4.5 paisa for H1FY12.
Similarly, PAT declined 75% YoY and 72% QoQ as a 47% QoQ rise in
interest costs and 70% QoQ fall in treasury income impacted the same.
ƒ Erratic short term market volumes disturb operational performance
For Q3FY12, volumes in the short-term market have declined by 48%
QoQ given the company has stopped trading with SEBs like Tamil Nadu
and Uttar Pradesh as  | 1100 crore of dues are still pending from the
SEBs. On the other hand, volumes from long-term PPAs and cross border
trades stood at 123.3 million units  (MUs) and 106.4 MUs, respectively.
Core trading margins for Q3FY12 stood at 4 paisa/unit whereas
realisations per unit stood at | 2.9/unit.
ƒ Negative sentiments of SEBs to lead to decline in volumes
Rising risk perception of non payment of dues from SEBs (deteriorating
financial health) will impact the short-term volumes, in our view. The
management expects flattish volumes for FY12. For FY13E, we have
reduced our estimates of trading volumes by 25% to 29 BUs. Coupled
with this, we have reduced our treasury income estimates, which will lead
to a decline in PAT estimates  for FY12 and FY13 by 21% and 22%,
respectively.
V a l u a t i o n
In line with the reduction in our PAT estimates for FY12 and FY13, we
have reduced our target price to | 62/share (| 80 earlier) to incorporate
the fall in trading volumes and treasury income. We believe that until
clarity on SEB dues emerges, the stock will languish till such time.
