JSW Energy Ltd. Interest expenses dragged the bottom-line JSW Energy Ltd. (JSWEL) reported a mixed set of numbers for Q3 FY16 quarter. The company reported a consolidated total operating income of Rs. 26,491.3mn and was in-line with our expectations. Consolidated EBITDA too came in-line with our expectation and stood at Rs. 11,912.7mn. However, on account of higher depreciation and finance charge coupled with higher tax incidence, PAT stood at Rs. 3,206.8mn, as against our estimate of Rs. 5,249.4mn. Q3 FY16 Result Analysis: Improved operating performance: JSWEL reported a thermal PLF of 90.3% in Q3 FY16 as compared to 87% in same quarter a year earlier. With Oct-Dec period being a seasonally weak quarter for hydro assets, the plant achieved an average PLF of 24%. Consequently, consolidated net generation increased by 11.2% Y-o-Y to 5,968mn units, of which 609mn units was contributed by the hydro power plants. On account of truing up of the provisional tariff, RWPL reported 12.4% Y-o-Y decline in power tariff. Average power tariff during the quarter declined by 3.8% Y-o-Y to Rs. 4.1 per unit. Top-line grew by 11.3%: In Sept. 2015, the company completed the integration of the hydro assets and Q3 FY16 was the first full quarter after the integration. Thus, the current and previous quarter financials are not comparable. JSWEL reported a 11.3% Y-o-Y increase in consolidated total operating income to Rs. 26,491.3mn. Sequentially it increased by 4.6%. On a standalone basis, top-line declined by 3.7% Y-o-Y to Rs. 15,976.6mn. Lower fuel cost led to an expansion in EBITDA margin: Total operating expenditure increased 3.6% Y-o-Y (at a relatively lower pace as compare to the top-line growth), mainly due to lower fuel cost (arising from lower international coal prices) and addition of hydro assets. As a percent of total operating income, power & fuel cost declined 7.5ppts. As a result, EBITDA increased by 22.3% Y-o-Y to Rs. 11,912.7mn, while margin expanded by over 4ppts to 45%. Sequentially, EBITDA increased by 19.3% with over 5.5ppts expansion in margin. Higher depreciation and interest charge coupled with higher tax incidence dragged the bottom-line: With the integration of hydro assets, depreciation and finance charge increased 34.5% and 58% Y-o-Y, respectively. This coupled with lower other income (-29.7% Y-o-Y) and higher tax incidence (36.1% in Q3 FY16 vs 26.5% Y-o-Y) led to a 15.7% Y-o-Y decline in PAT to Rs. 3,206.8mn. Accordingly, PAT margin contracted by 386bps Y-o-Y to 12.1%. Valuation: We believe that, with the revival in the economy, power deficit is expected to increase, assisting a support to the merchant power rates. JSWEL, with its presence in key power deficit region such as South India, is likely to benefit from it. Besides, this the company is also expecting a finalization of tariff for RWPL and Karcham Wangtoo power plants. Favorable order will be positive for JSWEL. Additionally, the acquisition of the hydro assets is likely to improve the salesmix and the profitability of the company. At CMP of Rs. 73.4, the company s share is trading at TTM P/E and P/BVPS multiple of 9.1x and 1.4x, respectively. The recent correction in the stock price is not justified given the positive outlook on merchant power rate and presence in the key power deficit market such as South India. Based on SOTP valuation methodology, we arrive at a target price of Rs. 99.7 per share, translating into an upside potential of 35.9%. Hence, we reiterate our rating on the stock.
