However, despite a subdued performance, price hike taken by CIL augurs well For Q4FY16, coal production volume came in at 163.1 million tonnes (MT), up 7.4% YoY while coal offtake came in at 143 MT, up 6.1% YoY. The blended realisation came in at 1451.7/tonne, up 5.5% QoQ and down 5.9% YoY. E-auction sales volumes came in at 20.41 MT, up 34.3% QoQ while e-auction realisation came in at 1647.7/tonne, down 11.7% QoQ. Fuel supply agreement (FSA) volume for the quarter was 119.3 MT while the FSA realisation came in at 1350.3/tonne, up 5.7% QoQ, down 4.8% YoY The company reported an income from operation of 20759.5 crore, up 9.4% QoQ, down 0.1% YoY and below our estimate of 22075 crore. EBITDA (excluding other operating income) came in at 4890.5 crore, up 16.7% QoQ, down 9.4% YoY and lower than our estimate of 6176.7 crore. The resultant EBITDA margin came in at 23.6% (our estimate: 28%). Subsequently, the company reported a PAT of 4247.9 crore against our expectation of 4646.2 crore Coal India has approved a revision of coal prices with effect from May 30, 2016 of ~6.3% increase over current prices. This will be applicable to all subsidiaries of Coal India and NEC for regulated and non-regulated sectors. Due to this revision, CIL will earn additional revenue of ~ 3234 crore for the balance period of financial year 2016-17 i.e. from May 30, 2016 to March 31, 2017 Government thrust on augmenting output augurs well for company One of the key thrust areas of the new government has been on augmenting domestic coal production to ease the crippling fuel scarcity in the power sector. The Coal Ministry has highlighted CIL s production target at 1 billion tonnes by FY20 from the current level of 539 MT in FY16. Though the government s target is significantly optimistic and aggressive, it reinforces its strong focus on enhancing CIL s production. We believe it is too early to model such aggressive assumptions. However, easing of norms and simultaneous removal of offtake bottlenecks could help realise the full potential performance of CIL. Furthermore, most production growth is likely to be back-ended as projects get implemented. Going forward, we expect coal production volumes to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% in FY16-18E to 628 MT and sales volumes to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% in FY16-18E to 625 MT. Attractive dividend yield, dividend payout to remain healthy In FY16, CIL declared a healthy dividend of 27.40/share. We believe the dividend payout will remain healthy, going forward, as CIL possesses surplus cash on its books with modest capex requirements and generates good free cash flows. We expect the payout at ~92.0% (dividend per share 22.5) in FY17E, 88.7% (dividend per share 22.5) in FY18E. On strong footing; maintain BUY For Q4FY16, Coal India reported a muted performance on account of subdued blended realisations (down 5.9% YoY). Despite softer realisation, the price hike taken by CIL augurs well for it. Overall, we remain positive on the long term prospects of the company on the back of healthy traction in volume growth and lower cost of production. We value the stock at 7.5x FY17E adjusted EV/EBITDA and arrive at a target price of 350. We have a BUY recommendation on Coal India. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research

Key highlights of Analyst Meet The management is confident of achieving ~600 MT (up 11% YoY) volume target for FY17. Out of this, CIL intends to sell 120 MT of coal through the auction route vs. ~66 MT in FY16 (our estimate: 75 MT for FY17E, 80 MT for FY18E). CIL will auction 10 MT (8 MT for regulated, 2 MT for non regulated sector) every month through special auction to meet the demand of power plants a) not having PPAs, FSAs, ii) getting coal through tapering linkage and iii) lost mines due to cancellation by Supreme Court Out of total 65 MT of linkage coal for non-regulated sector, 13 MT of linkages expired in March 2016. As per the government s new policy, expired linkages quantity and also 25% of incremental production in previous year would be offered for auction. The process for auction of linkages to the non-power segment has commenced. In the current year, CIL will offer ~23.5 MT through this route. In 2019, all FSAs will expire. This will be added to the auction route Wage revisions for CIL s workmen would be applicable from July 1, 2016 while in case of executives, it is due from January 1, 2017. The management has said the outcome of wage negotiations would determine the quantum of increase in employee costs. We are building in 35% increase in wage bill in FY16-18 CIL expects to commission six new coal washeries by September 2017. Construction of eight more washeries would commence shortly after it receives environmental clearances. It has chalked out a capex plan of 7700 crore in FY17E At present, CIL recognises overburden removal (OBR) adjustment as an expense in the profit and loss statement. This is done to normalise stripping cost over the life of the mine. The management has indicated that, as per IND-AS, CIL will be unable to pass on overburden removal expenses (OBR) through P&L. Hence, there could a likelihood of tax liability for OBR passed through P&L in prior years. We await further clarity on the same During FY17, FSA sales to the power sector are expected to be ~450 MT, implying growth of 10% (409 MT in FY16) The management gave an update on the three critical rail lines that will increase evacuation capacity by ~200 MT. The Jharsuguda-Barpalli line in Odisha is expected to be completed by March 2017. Land acquisition for the 11-12 km stretch at Talcher is pending, delaying the second phase of Odisha rail line. The first phase of rail line in Chhattisgarh is progressing well and is scheduled for completion by end of 2018. Similarly, the Tori to Shivpur line in Jharkhand would be completed by December 2017 ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 3

Company Analysis Coal India (CIL), the mining major, is one of the largest coal producers in the world with coal production of 539 MT in FY16. The company supplies coal to sectors like power, steel, cement, defence, fertiliser, etc. As of March 31, 2013, CIL operated 462 mines in 81 mining areas across eight states in India, including 169 open cast mines, 270 underground mines and 23 mixed mines (that include both open cast as well as underground mines). CIL has seven wholly-owned coal producing subsidiaries and one mine planning and consultancy company. The company produces ~80% of India s total coal production and has a domestic market share of ~65% Government support to aid coal production growth, going forward After a few earlier years of stagnant production levels in the past, CIL has finally delivered a decent performance with FY16 coal production coming in at 539 MT, up 9% YoY. Going forward, to boost coal volumes, the government has eased norms. This is likely to help state-run CIL boost output. Going forward, we expect coal production volumes to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% in FY16-18E to 628 MT in FY18E.

Sales growth mirrors coal production rate Coal sales growth for the company has mirrored the coal production growth rate. Coal sales grew at 9.2% in FY16 to 534.5 MT (489 MT in FY15). Subsequently, we expect coal sales volumes to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% in FY16-18E to 625 MT.

Healthy dividend payout ratio to sustain CIL has gradually increased the dividend payout from 43% in FY12 to 51% in FY13. In FY14, however, at the behest of the central government the company gave a one-time special dividend of 29/share while in FY15 the company gave a dividend of 20.70/share. Coal India for FY16 declared a dividend of 27.40/share. We believe the dividend payout will remain healthy, going forward, as the company possesses surplus cash on its books with modest capex requirements and generates good free cash flows. We expect the payout at ~92.0% (dividend per share 22.5) in FY17E, 88.7% (dividend per share 22.5) in FY18E.

Outlook and valuation For Q4FY16, Coal India reported a muted performance on account of subdued blended realisations (down 5.9% YoY). Despite softer realisation the price hike taken by CIL augurs well for the company. Overall, we remain positive on the long term prospects of the company on the back of healthy traction in volume growth and lower cost of production. We have valued the stock at 7.5x FY17E adjusted EV/EBITDA and arrived at a target price of 350. We have a BUY recommendation on Coal India.
