Results Highlights
 The company’s revenue declined by 13.4% yoy to Rs. 2,682 mn. This was due unbilled work at
ten ongoing projects which has not reached significant level of billing as per the percentage
completion method of accounting followed by the company. The work at these project is going at
a full swing and the revenue is expected to flow from these project during Q3 & Q4FY13. We
also saw slow execution at the Orissa BOT projects resulting in low revenue.
 During the quarter we saw a decline in EBIDTA margins which stood at 12.5% down by 77 bps
yoy, primarily due to higher construction expenses and employee cost.
 During the quarter PAT margins were down by 125 bps yoy at 5.2%, primarily due to rise in borrowing
cost as a percentage of sales by 135 bps yoy at 4.3%.

Valuation & Outlook
The company is well poised to capitalise on the opportunities of govertment spending on infrastructure.
At current market price of Rs 165 the stock is trading at a P/E multiple of 3.7x and 3.4x to its
FY13E and FY14E EPS of Rs. 44.9 and Rs. 48.4 per share. We maintain ‘BUY’ with a target price of
Rs. 271 per share with an upside of 64% based on SOTP method. For the construction business we
arrive at a price of Rs 224 per share which discounts FY13E EPS of Rs 44.9 by 5x. For BOT projects
we have valued Seoni Balaghat on DCF basis, Seoni Katangi on BV basis and Waraseoni Lalbarra
on BV basis, which gives a value of Rs 47 per share.
