Pipavav Shipyard Limited promoted by SKIL Infrastructure was formerly known as Pipavav Ship Dismantling and Engineering Limited and changed its name to Pipavav Shipyard Limited in April 2005. Pipavav Shipyard Limited was incorporated in 1997 and is based in Mumbai, India, company engages in the defense shipbuilding, and construction of offshore oil and gas assets, as well as provision of commercial shipbuilding and repairs, and heavy engineering services in India. Pipavav is the only private shipyard in India to have license to produce frontline warships from the Govt. of India giving it significant opportunities in the defence space. The company also offers very large crude carriers, suezmax tankers, aframax tankers, capesize bulk carriers, panamax bulk carriers and tankers, handymax and handysize bulk carriers and tankers, and product and chemical tankers; and specialized vessels, such as LNG carriers, LPG carriers, reefers, containerships, offshore support vessels, ferries, and dredgers. It also provides offshore platforms, which include rigs, jackets, and single buoy mooring systems; naval vessels; and ship repair services, such as refit/dry docking, a-float repair, and conversions. Pipavav Shipyard (PSL) is the largest shipyard in India and the 5th largest in the world in terms of its size (400000 dwt). Pipavav’s dry dock capacity is larger than top 5 yards in India put together.

Investment Rationale:
Pipavav recently signed a contract with the Ministry of Defence for construction of 5 naval gunboats worth Rs. 3000 cr. The company has also been active in signing MoU’s with international defence majors such as SAAB Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Babcock Group UK which will make the Company’s position as leader in the defence segment. The company is also planning to rename itself Pipavav Defence and Engineering Company Ltd. to highlight its objective to become a major defence player. Company has a strong and diversified order book of Rs. 6300 crore which is expected to result in CAGR of 48.8% over FY10-FY13.
The parent company of Pipavav Shipyard Ltd, SKIL Infrastructure promoted by Nikhil Gandhi, primarily is an infrastructure development company, with interests in shipyard, special economic zones, free zones, logistics, port, education and defence sectors, filed its drafted documents on 7th June 2011, to raise Rs. 1,125 Cr through IPO. SKIL Infra controls 43.14 % (a 28,72,26,686 shares) in Pipavav Shipyard and 21.02 % (a 40,00,000 shares) stake in Everon Education. Proceeds from the IPO will used to retire its debts of Rs. 800 Cr & will set aside Rs. 150 cr to acquire companies in education, infrastructure & defence sectors.  As of March 31, SKIL Infra had total debt of Rs. 1351 cr, excluding vehicle loans.

Investment concerns:
There was a delay of 15 months in the construction of the shipyard and the facility became fully operational only in December 2010 with the installation of Goliath cranes. The delay in construction of the shipyard has, in turn, led to significant delay in the delivery schedule of vessels. Although Pipavav has a strong and diversified order book valued at Rs. 6300 crore, the first deliveries of panamax and offshore vessels is likely only from Q2FY12 onwards i.e. delay of 18 and 3 months respectively. Pipavav is in a growth phase so a significant premium over global shipyards would not be justified until execution improves.

Outlook & Valuation:
Company posted 18 % YoY revenue growth in Q4FY11, after excluding subsidy of Rs. 75 cr and trade sales of Rs. 257 cr. The Company received a new order of Rs.3000 cr taking the total order book to Rs. 6300 cr. EBIDTA for the year turned green to Rs. 170 cr with margins at 20%. PAT at Rs. 44 cr. The order inflows and recent initiatives of the company give confidence that the company is on track to become a major defence player. At the CMP of Rs.80.70, Pipavav is trading at 19.6 x FY13E EPS and 2.55 x FY13E P/BV. In my view it can be a Bought with a price target of Rs. 100.50/share valuing the company at 11.3x FY13E EV/EBIDTA comparing it to defence player.

KEY FINANCIALS FY10 FY11E FY12E FY13E
SALES (Rs. crs) 629.4 882.7 1,598.5 2,073.7
NET PROFIT (Rs. crs) - 48.2 - 1.7 126.1 269.6
EPS (Rs.) -- -- 1.9 4.1
PE (x) -- -- 41.7 19.5
P/BV (x) 3.2 3.1 2.9 2.5
EV/EBITDA (x) -- 80.3 20.611.3
ROCE (%) --2.510.217.8
RONW (%) ----6.912.8

I would buy PIPAVAV SHIPYARD LTD with the price target of Rs. 85 in short term. For long term I would be looking at a target price of Rs. 100. As I always say do respect the market and keep a strict stop loss of 8 % on your every purchase.
