Higher vol ume resul ts in better quarter The company reported 21% YoY growth in revenue at | 648.2 crore (vs. I-direct estimate of | 535.8 crore) Higher revenue was a result of strong volume growth (up 18% YoY to 1.69 MT) led by capacity expansion (1.3 MT) and healthy demand while realisation grew 2.5% YoY to | 3,834/tonne during the quarter EBITDA margin for the quarter declined marginally by 50 bps YoY mainly due to higher P&F and employee costs on a per tonne basis Higher sales volume and a marginal decline in EBITDA/tonne (0.4% YoY to | 663/tonne) have led to 58.5% YoY increase in PAT at | 52.9 crore while adjusted PAT increased 43.7% YoY to | 71.4 crore One of the most efficient players in cement midcap space JK Lakshmi Cement is one of the best cost efficient players in the industry. It has been operating at close to ~100% capacity utilisation for the last three years with healthy operating margins vs. industry. Its cost efficiency emanates from high usage of alternate fuel (pet coke), logistic advantage led by expansion strategy through split grinding unit and self sufficiency in power. Its per tonne power consumption remains best in the industry with utilisation of 73 Kwhr/tonne against industry norms of 90-95 Kwhr/tonne. Its fuel consumption is also lower at 726 KCal/kg for the company against industry norms of 800 KCal/kg. The company also has more than 100% low cost power availability for its plants. Due to the combined effect of operational efficiency and lower power costs, P&F cost has been lower for the company. Healthy expansion plans to fuel growth in future We expect JK Lakshmi to report healthy revenue CAGR of over 21% in the next two years led by capacity expansion and healthy demand in the northern region (to add 3.4 MT capacity i.e. 56% of its existing capacity over next two years) coupled with operating efficiency leading to better volume growth and higher profitability. The companys ongoing greenfield project at Durg is expected to come on stream by Q2FY15E. Apart from this, the company is expanding its grinding capacity by 7.0 lakh tonne per annum in Gujarat. Both projects are expected to be complete by end of FY15E, FY16E, respectively, leading to total capacity of 9.3 MT in FY15E & 10.0 MT by FY16E from current capacity of 6.6 MT. Expect D: E to remain in comfort zone despite aggressive expansion We expect net debt equity ratio to remain in the comfortable zone (i.e. below 1.0x) despite the aggressive expansion undertaken by the company. As per our estimates, we expect the company to generate free operating cash flow of over | 1000 crore over the next two year, which will be sufficient to fund the balance pending capex. Timely commissioning of new capacity remains key value driver On the back of timely expansion, we expect volume CAGR of 18.3% (vs. ~9.3% during FY11-14) in FY14-16E to 7.8 MT. We expect cement EBITDA of | 596/tonne in FY15E and | 620/tonne in FY16E vs. | 534/tonne in FY14 due to favourable demand-supply matrix in North India. Further, a strong balance sheet and better efficiency in terms of cost remain key positives for this company. We roll over our valuation base to FY16E and upgrade our target price to | 225/share with a BUY rating on the stock (i.e. at 7.5x FY16E EV/EBITDA, $61/tonne on FY16E capacity of 10.0 MT).

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 3 Company Analysis Presence in better performing markets JK Lakshmi has a strong presence in North India with a dominant position in Rajasthan. Other states where the company has a presence include Haryana, Delhi, Punjab and Uttaranchal in the North. In the western part also, the company has a healthy presence in Gujarat and has made inroads in the Mumbai markets as well. Sales wise, Gujarat contributes highest of ~34% of sales while Rajasthan contributes 23% and the contribution from the rest of the northern region is at ~35%. Maharashtra contributes ~8% to the topline. Cost effective operational efficiency JK Lakshmi has been one of the most cost effective players in the industry. The company has gradually shifted from coal usage to low cost pet coke. This also avoids uncertainty about coal availability. As a result, fuel consumption has reduced gradually. The company has 100% captive power capacity with 54 MW of thermal power plant and 12 MW of waste heat recovery. Other than this, the company has an external arrangement with VS Lignite for sourcing 21 MW. Effectively, the company has captive power availability of 87 MW against current requirement ~65 MW. The available surplus power can be sold in the open market by the company.

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 4 Operates at healthy utilisation in industry Due to the companys strong focus on northern and western regions where the demand is continuously rising, the company has been able to maintain higher utilisation even in a difficult business environment. During FY12 and FY13, the company reported over 100% capacity utilisation while in FY14 the company managed to maintain an effective capacity utilisation of nearly 98% despite the slowdown in the economy.
Strong balance sheet with manageable D/E ratio even after expansion In terms of debt: equity ratio, the company has consistently managed it below 1.0 in recent years. We expect net D/E ratio to remain in a comfortable zone (i.e. below 1.0x) despite the aggressive expansion undertaken by the company. As per our estimates, we expect the company to generate free operating cash flow of over | 1000 crore over the next two years, which will be sufficient to fund the balance pending capex.

Outlook and valuation With the commissioning of new capacity at Durg, Udaipur and Jhajjar the company will have a total standalone cement capacity of over 10.0 MT by the end of FY16E. However, the full benefit of the Durg expansion would start accruing only from H2FY15E. Considering this, we expect cement volumes to grow at ~18.3% CAGR during FY14-16E to 7.9 MT in FY16E from 5.6 MT in FY14. At the CMP of | 176, the stock is trading at 17.1x and 10.7x its FY15E and FY16E earnings, respectively. The stock is trading at an EV/EBITDA of 8.4x and 6.4x FY15E and FY16E EBITDA, respectively, as against average trailing multiple of 8.5x. This leaves scope for appreciation over the longer term despite a sharp rally in stock prices over the past two months. Given the upcoming new capacity from FY15E, we expect growth in profitability to remain healthy over the next two years. We roll over our valuation base to FY16E and upgrade our target price to | 225/share (i.e. at 7.5x FY16E EV/EBITDA, $61/tonne on FY16E capacity of 10.0 MT).
