COAL INDIA LIMITED: CIL was incorporated in 1973 in Kolkata, India. It was formerly known as Coal Mines Authority Limited. CIL is a leading public sector undertaking engaged in coal mining & selling coal fines in India and is working on establishing its footprint globally through acquisitions. The company provides Washed and Beneficiated coal for use in manufacturing of hard coke for steel making and power generation. Company operates 471 mines in 21 coalfields across 8 states in India, which includes 163 open cast mines, 273 underground mines & 35 mixed mines – open & underground mines. CIL operates through its 9 wholly owned subsidiaries, of which 1 subsidiary is engaged in exploration and feasibility study analysis. Its subsidiaries include Eastern Coalfields Ltd, Bharat Coking Coal India Ltd, Central Coalfields Ltd, Northern Coalfields Ltd, Western Coalfields Ltd and South Eastern Coalfields Ltd. CIL has total reserves of 64.3 billion tons and proved reserves of 52.4 billion tons, of which extractable reserves stands at 21.7 billion tons. The company offers coking coal primarily for use in steel making & metallurgical industries, and for hard coke manufacturing, semi coking coal for use as blend able coal steel making, merchant coke manufacturing, it also provides middlings used by fuel plants, brick manufacturing units, cement plants, industrial plants, as well as for power generation. CIL coal fines/coke fines are used in industrial furnaces, as well as for domestic purposes. It serves primarily power, steel, cement, and fertilizer industries. Coal India is compared with Banpu Public Company Ltd of Thailand; Blackgold International Holdings Ltd of China; Agritrade Resources Ltd of Hongkong;  PT Sumber Energi Andalan Tbk of Indonesia, Siberian Mining Group Company Ltd & Mongolia Energy Corporation Ltd of Hong Kong.

Investment Rationale:

Coal India, a ‘Navratna’ company, is the largest coal producing company in the world, based on its raw coal production. The company is also the largest coal reserve holder in the world, based on its reserve base. CIL is well positioned to capitalize the widening gap of demand & supply as it controls 80 % of the coal supply in India and around 66% of India’s power generation is coal based. CIL reported Q3FY13 consolidated net sales at Rs. 17,325 Cr, up by 13% YoY & by 18.8% QoQ. This was led by volume off take of 120.45 million tons in Q3FY13, up by 9.23% YoY & by 15.37% QoQ. Average realizations remained flat at Rs. 1438 per tn, up by 0.09% QoQ and 3.05% YoY. Volume growth was driven by inventory liquidation of 3.08 mn tons in Q3FY13. CIL volume mix was largely directed towards Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA), which contributed 87.67% of total volumes in Q3FY13 (85% in Q2FY13). Realization in case of FSA stood at Rs. 1232 per tn, improving by 5.94% YoY & down 3.8% QoQ. E-auction volumes stood at 9% of the total mix with realization per ton at Rs. 2941, up by 3.12% YoY (19.6% QoQ). Volume contribution from washed coal was at 3.29% of total volumes with realization/tn at Rs. 2491, up by 19.25% YoY & 19.07% on QoQ basis. EBITDA margin contracted 4.92% YoY to 24.75%, led by high employee, power and fuel expense. EBITDA/tn stood at Rs. 365.3 in Q3FY13 vis-à-vis Rs. 414 in Q3FY12 & Rs. 282 in the sequential quarter. This was mainly due to high employee expenses which increased by 12.33% to Rs. 537.18/tn YoY. PAT margin expanded 908 bps YoY to 16.89% (14.83% QoQ) aided by a sharp decline in depreciation expense (down by 24.21% YoY. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has given in principle approval to the price pooling mechanism wherein the prices of domestic and imported coal will be averaged to get a uniform price for coal in the country. CCEA however has not given the actual terms of this mechanism and has asked the coal and power ministries to come out with the detailed terms and specifications of how the price must be determined. Currently, CIL has FSA's with power companies without price pooling basis and it supplies imported coal at a cost plus basis.

Outlook and Valuation:

Coal India (CIL) production in 9MFY13 stood at 308.91 mn ton, up by 6.06% YoY, while off-take at 335.23 mn tn was up by 8.05% YoY. Transportation infrastructure has been improving for the company, as rake availability was 177 rakes a day in 9MFY13, up by 10.62% YoY. The share of railways (transports ~1.5 mn tons of coal everyday) in the transportation mix is ~ 52% and is expected to rise to 58% by FY17. Coal India plans to take a proposal for setting up a Rs. 9,000 Cr power plant in Odisha to its board for approval in next couple of months. Also Coal India is changing its appraisal system in order to attract the best of the talent. The company has roped in Manpower Group the world’s largest human resource management firm to implement a performance related pay system which will be effective from April 2013. On the back of increased coal production, higher FSA realisations, intact e-auction volumes, increased availability of rakes and FSA issue are about to resolve and it is expected that CIL's revenue & net profit can register a good growth over FY13 and FY14E. The current expansion in off-take reinforces company’s ability to achieve its guided off-take target of 487m (+6%) tonnes in FY14. Achievement of targets would ease the concerns on CIL’s ability to increase prices, going forward. However, it can be assumed that there can be marginal increase in realisations by 2% in FY14 given the election year. With a huge cash pile of around Rs. 65,000 the company looks for overseas acquitions and can mull about buyback of shares or for a special dividend. In my view CIL could report FY13E EPS of Rs. 26.10/sh and for FY 14E of Rs. 27.90/sh. Valuing the stock at 8.70x FY2014 EV/EBITDA, the stock could be bought for the target price of Rs. 355 and recommend Accumulate on the stock.

I would buy COAL INDIA LTD with a price target of Rs. 355 for the 6 month target. As I always say, I am a long term believer in markets & I do respect the markets and will keep a strict stop loss of 8 % or Rs. 293.00 on your purchase.

HERO MOTOCORP LIMITED:  HEROMOTOCORP Ltd was incorporated in 1984 and is based in New Delhi, India. The company changed its name to HeroMotoCorp from Hero Honda Motors Ltd in July 2011. HeroMotoCorp engages in the manufacturing and sales of motorcycles in India. It provides a range of two wheeler products, including motorcycles and scooters and spare parts. The company markets its product under various brands, including CD Dawn, CD Deluxe, Splendor Plus, Splendor NXC, Passion and Passion Pro, Passion Plus, Glamour, Super Splendor Pro, Achiever, Glamour FI, Hunk, CBZ X-treme, Karizma, Pleasure and Karizma ZMR. The company offers its product Achiever in 135 cubic centimeter segment. In the 150 cubic centimeters and above the company offers brands like Hunk, CBZ X-treme, Karizma and the Karizma ZMR. It also offers 100 cubic centimeter scooter Pleasure. It offers its products through a network of dealers, service and spare parts outlets and dealer-appointed outlets. The company’s bikes are manufactured across three manufacturing facilities. Two of these are based in Gurgoan and Dharuhera which are located in the state of Haryana in northern India. The third manufacturing plant is based at Haridwar, in the hill state of Uttrakhand. The company was a joint venture between India’s Hero Group and Japan’s Honda Motors Co whereby the promoter the Munjal’s bought the stake of Honda in July 2011. The company is compared to Bajaj Auto Ltd, TVS Motor Company Ltd, Atlas Cycles (Haryana) & Ashok Leyland Ltd locally and is compared with Shimano Inc of Japan globally.

Investment Rationale:

HEROMOTOCORP (HEROMOTOCO) management has indicated to launch seven to eight new variants every year. The company is targeting 1 million two wheelers to be annually exported by FY17E. The management also stated that it has neither offered discounts or freebies nor it plans to do so in the future. It has hiked dealer commissions by Rs.100 since October 2012, which is a regular revision followed by the company. HeroMotoCorp’s Q3 FY13 result was lower than street estimates; HeroMotoCorp’s volume in Q3 FY13 was down 1% YoY but up 18% Q-o-Q to 15,73,135 units due to festival season in Q3 in this FY. Contribution from 75-125 cc segments has increased by 97 bps YoY but down 207 bps Q-o-Q. Major contribution in 75-125 cc segments have been 125 cc segments namely Ignitor, Super Splendor and Glamour which has led to growth in realization. Management expects industry and HeroMotoCorp to grow at 5% - 6%. HeroMotoCorp’s Revenue was marginally lower at Rs. 6,151 Cr largely led by higher realization of Rs. 39,102/unit. EBITDA were lower than street estimates at Rs. 779 Cr. and EBIDTA margin were around 12.6%. Other expenditure was higher at Rs. 625 Cr. despite volumes which were down by 1% YoY due to increase in dealer margin by 50% on incremental sales and higher Ad spending in wake of intense competition. PAT for the HeroMotoCorp was at Rs. 488 Cr. Other expenses were high at 10.2% due to brand building and product launches. The management expects these expenses to continue in Q4FY13. It expects ad-spend to remain at 2% of sales. The Tax rate is expected to increase to 23% in FY14 from 16.3% currently as the Haridwar plant will no longer be eligible for tax breaks. The management expects better y-o-y volume growth in Q4FY13 than in Q3FY13. Management is expecting some relief in raw material cost due to depreciating YEN. Hero Moto Corp shipped its first lot of motorcycles to Latin America, it intends to increase its exports to 10% of its total sales. This was one of the key reasons that Hero parted with Honda, to be able to pursue its interests in the International market. The company hopes to sell in around 30 countries around the globe. It is expected that the company will launch 'Hero' as a brand in the south America markets in the next few weeks. It also intends to set up an assembly units in these markets once the relevant volumes are achieved.    

Outlook and Valuation:

Hero MotoCorp’s efforts for brand building post the Honda split and its investment phase and intensifying competition in two-wheelers will exert pressure on its profitability in the short term. However, its fundamentals are intact given its leadership position, robust rural reach and strong brand recall. HeroMotoCorp’s market share in two-wheelers rose by 2.93% quarter on quarter to 38.6%. It also gained market share from Honda in its core domestic motorcycle segment – its market share rose by 1.93% Q-o-Q to 51.9%. 

Hero MotoCorp's manufacturing plant at Haridwar

HeroMotoCorp has started the construction of its fourth manufacturing plant which will have an capacity of 7.50 lakh units per annum and started a new global parts center in Neemrana, Rajasthan at a capex of around Rs. 550 Cr. This plant  is spread over an area of 47 acres and will provide employment to over 1,000 people These are expected to be operational by the end of FY14. Company is also in the process of acquiring land for the Gujarat plant, this plant is expected to be operational by FY15. The Rajasthan and Gujarat projects will take up the total installed capacity to 85 lakh units. Despite festive season, inventory pile-up continues at the dealer’s level on poor demands. Since the rural region accounts for nearly 46% of sales, weak monsoons at the outset have impacted sales volume. Honda’s new launches in the sub-125 cc segment and commissioning of capacities well ahead of HeroMotoCorp’s new capacities is the biggest concern for HeroMotoCorp from its market share erosion point of view. The benefit on account of reduction in royalty Q1 FY15 onward would compensate the incremental cost pressure for HeroMotoCorp. At current price of Rs. 1646.95, the stock is trading at P/E of 15.23 x on FY13 estimates & 13.77 x on FY14 estimates. In my view HeroMotocorp could post EPS of Rs.108.10 for FY13E & Rs.119.60 for FY14E and one can ACCUMULATE the stock and would advise investors to use declines in the stock to buy with a long term view with a target price of Rs. 1842.00 for Medium to Long term investment.
