We re-initiate our coverage on MUGHAL with a buy call on the scrip, having an upside of 44% to our target price of PKR106 per share till Dec-16. We expect Sales/
Earnings to grow at a 4-year CAGR of 18%/40% on account of i) increased construction activity largely due to surge in PSDP disbursements and ramp up of CPEC activity ii) Increased capacity utilization leading to volumetric growth in dispatches iii)
30% enhancement of existing capacity through BMR of existing plants and iv) induction of new furnace that would increase the energy efficiency of the plant, resulting
in margin accretion. Further, we have tweaked our model to incorporate efficiency
gains that would arise from BMR of re-rolling mills coupled with installation of induction furnace to drive expansion in operating margins.
Rs.
Mughal Steel is operating at lower utilization levels, given its intention to produce in-house electricity coupled with KV grid expansion. The company is
poised to benefit from higher volumetric growth by realizing higher economies
of scale.

Company Report
Industrial Analysis
Steel sector, which has grown by 36% in last fiscal year, is continuously expanding
due to robust demand of construction materials needed to sustain the economic 70%
growth. Dominated by small and medium players that are engaged in re-rolling, forg- 60%
ing and melting of long, flat and raw products; the current production of Pakistan
50%
stands at six million metric tons of steel per year.
40%
Pakistani re-bar market is bifurcated into three segments: Grade-60 rebar, Commercial grade re-bar and ship plates bar. Grade-60, a quality re-bar, is producer by few 30%
(approximately 10) major players of the market. Whereas other types of re-bars are 20%
also manufactured by small fragmented re-rolling plants in Pakistan.
10%
Steel production is highly energy intensive in which fuel and energy cost comprises of
~20%-40% of the total cost of production. However, units in Pakistan are utilizing
obsolete technology that are half as efficient, when compared to international
benchmarks. Thus, they are unable compete with their international peers. Hence, in
order to protect the domestic steel producers, the government has enacted regulatory and custom duties.

During the period of July15 to Jan16, production of billets/ingots has been expanded

In Pakistan, ~94% of the crude steel is produced by electric furnace (EF) whereas remaining ~6% is manufactured through oxygen blown converter (OBC) compared to
the regional average of 16% and 84% respectively. Pakistani re-bar producers use
electric furnace to produce billets from scrap iron.

However, the only impediment in the growth of steel sector would include: electricity
and gas load shedding and the dumping of imported steel products especially from
China.
China contributes about ~50% to the worlds steel production and as Pakistan has
FTA with China, therefore, goods can be imported from China at a concessionary
rates, without custom duty. Thus, in 1HFY16, Pakistan witnessed a mushroom growth
of 22% in steels imports from China.

Company Report
Company
MUGHAL is one of the largest manufacturers of structured steel in Pakistan, having
iron and Steel melting capacity of 384,000 tons with re-rolling mills capable of processing up to 688,000 tons of molten Iron and Steel.
Located in the industrial area of Lahore, the company currently operates 5 induction
furnaces, 6 re-rolling mills, 1 Arc Furnace, and A coal gasification plant. The company
has 100% reliance on electricity grid because of which it is suffering from capacity
constraints, following unavailability of electricity. MUGHALs in house 9.3W power
plant is not operational due to shortage of gas supply. However, the company is negotiating with LESCO to enhance its grids load capacity to 60 MW from 20 MW.
48%
46%
Mughal Steel, also a manufacturer to Grade-60 rebar, sale 90% of its re-bar steel to
corporate clients while girders and Tee iron is predominately sold in villages where
girder is used to build ceiling of the houses.
MUGHAL manufactures product in the following three categories:
1. Billet
2. Bars
3. Beams
1HFY16 snapshot:
Top-line for 1HFY16 expanded by ~78% YoY, primarily on account of stellar local volumetric growth in dispatches and better sale prices. Local sales revenue was increased
by 110% YoY, which was partially off-set by subdued performance of exports, dipping
by 65% YoY due to less demand of Girder and Tee iron in Afghanistan.
During the period under review, Re-bar steel, Girder and Tee iron registered the highest growth in local market. Gross margin remained the same; however, muted margin
accretion has been witnessed in net profit margin largely due to 10.34x surge in net
income. SG&A as a percentage of sales stayed the same, which clocked in at 2%, leading to consistent operating profit margin at 9%.
Further, finance cost inched up by 4% with effective tax rate turning out to be 23%.
Thus, the company earned a PAT of PKR 482 million against PKR 245 million in the
same period last year, up 97% YoY.

Company Report
Past performance:
25
16%
Mughal Steel has shown stellar performance since FY11. Its topline boosted by 5-year 20
CAGR of 42% largely due to surge in volumetric dispatches, which swelled by 38% at 5
-year CAGR against the capacity enhancement of 62% (5-year CAGR). However, aver- 15
age retention prices soured by ~4% during the same period.
14%
Local sales have been growing at an average growth rate of ~94% against an average
decline of ~1.64% in exports, changing the geographical composition of companys
revenue mix in favor of local sales. It is worth noting that plummeting exports are due
to penetration of lower priced steel products from China and Iran coupled with
planned draw down of American troops from Afghanistan.
12%
10%

Raw materials along with fuel and power costs contribute on average ~88% of the
total cost of goods manufactured. But, due to efficiency gains, which started to give
dividends in FY14, the raw material coupled with fuel and power component has
dwindled to 84.62% of sales in FY15, assisting in jacking up of gross margins from
9.34% in FY13 to 10.5% in FY15, up 115 bps.
Operating profit margin also expanded by 234 bps in 5 years on back of falling SG&A
expenses as a percentage of sales due to lower administrative expenses. However,
rising distribution costs can be attributed to increasing share of domestic sales in the
overall sales revenue mix.

MUGHALs net profit margin expanded by massive ~451 bps since FY11 on account of
lower effective tax rate and financial charges. Hence, in FY15 the company earned a
profit of PKR 721 million, up 104% YoY from the same period last year.
Future Outlook:
Mughal steel is superbly position to fully take advantage of the infrastructural spending undertaken by the government. Having diversified portfolio of steel products,
Mughal steel is capable of catering for the future demand of steel products, given its
potential to increase the utilization level.
We expect the companys sales/earnings to grow at a 4-year CAGR of 18%/40% primarily led by i) surge in volumetric growth following robust construction activity together with potential penetration into retail sector through Mughal Supreme product, which is a at its launching stage.
Further, we expect sales composition to change in favor of re-bar due to its robust
demand in the wake of on-going construction activity. Moreover, we believe local
sales dispatches would continue to dominate overall sales volumes amidst subdue
export activity.

Company Report
Scrap prices have already bottomed out in the global market. We believe moderate
uptrend in the prices of scrap, billet and re-bar steel.
250
Further, according company sources, in 1HFY16, the company was producing 5,000 to
6,000 tons of steel per month with 12 hours of available electricity, but now due to
increase in availability of electricity in 3QFY16 to 18 hours, current production stands
at 8,000 to 10,000 tons of steel per month. Hence we expect significant increase in
YoY sales of 3QFY16. Going forward, we assume improvement in the availability of
electricity, given the government lives up to the promise of ending load shedding in
FY18.

Scrap prices
Further, owing to successful negotiations with LESCO on grid capacity expansion, the
company can significantly increase its production by utilizing idle capacities. Additionally, MUGHAL is at an early state of conducting feasibility study of coal power plant.
Given the companys electricity requirement of 50MW-60MW, coal power plant
would bring down electricity cost by 25%-30%, substantially reducing the cost of production.
Rebar prices
We expect companys effective tax rate to converge to marginal tax rate of 33%. Currently, due to availability of tax credit, owing to Article 65-B of Income tax ordinance,
companys is realizing tax asset, lowering its effective tax rate.
