Revenue days for the shipping segment improved significantly from 263 days in Q2FY15 to 2834 days in Q2FY16. Furthermore, utilisation for offshore segment was at 221 days vis-à-vis 212 days in Q2FY15 EBITDA sequentially continued to bolster for the third consecutive quarter on the back of lower bunker costs that declined 36% YoY. EBITDA for quarter grew 6% YoY (up 16% QoQ) to 589 crore (Idirect estimate: 459 crore). Subsequently, EBITDA margins continued to inch up to 57% in current quarter. Higher realisation on same assets & better utilisation levels added to lower bunker costs A better operational performance coupled with lower tax rate led PAT (before exceptional gain/loss) to more than double to 361 crore compared to 155 crore in Q2FY15. Adjusted PAT for the quarter was at 383 crore, which included loss of 15.3 crore on sale of ship and forex gain of 37 crore Standalone NAV grew 7.6% QoQ to 367 compared to 341 in the previous quarter. Consolidated NAV was at 565 in Q2FY16 compared to 536 in Q1FY16 Product carrier rate accelerates; tanker rate continues to be elevated TCY rates for crude carriers continued to stay above $3/day levels for the third consecutive quarter. This provides a firm footing to the company s earning in tanker segment. On the back of continuous higher supplies from refineries to meet limited demand, these rates are expected to remain strong at current levels. Added momentum during the quarter was provided by increase in rates for product tankers that sequentially grew 34% (up 47% YoY) to $3128/day. With a combination of eight crude carriers, 12 product carriers and one gas carrier we believe the company is well positioned to capture the opportunity in terms of favourable rates. Favourable fleet configuration; poised for continued momentum Gesco is the second largest shipping fleet operator in the country with 3 ships totalling ~2.36 million dwt haulage capacity and an average age of 9.6 years. Gesco s fleet profile is skewed towards the tanker segment due to which it was comparatively less impacted by the meltdown in the shipping industry. Softness in dry bulk shipping freight rates continued on the back of subdued trade environment. Following this, the revenue visibility for shipping for H2FY16 was at 271 crore while for the offshore segment in the same period it was at 89 crore. Earnings visibility, operating leverage already factored; retain HOLD With a proactive management at the helm, Gesco has deliberately reduced its exposure to the dry bulk segment. Further, on the back of higher tanker rates majority of the carriers are held on spot market. The management also gains from fluctuations of asset rates on the back of trading of ships. We believe this performance will continue, which is already priced in. We marginally increase our revenue expectation, which would grow at a CAGR of 6% over 215-17E. The operational performance would lead profitability growth to outpace revenue growth. Thus, we expect EBITDA, PAT to grow at a CAGR of 13%, 16% respectively. Following this, we revise our FY17E book value to 625 and continue to assign P/BV multiple of.7x to arrive at a fair price of 44. We have a HOLD recommendation on the stock.

Company Analysis Product tanker keeps afloat as dry bulk recuperates The shale gas revolution in the US together with geopolitical risks arising in Iran and the Middle & North Africa (MENA) region resulted in long-haul trade routes such as China, India and Latin-America. In terms of global fleet addition, crude and product tanker segment tonnage capacity increased at a CAGR of ~4.5% over 27-13. As the segment added lower capacity vis-à-vis the dry bulk segment, the freight rates downfall was arrested, to a large extent. In the dry bulk segment, capacity addition of nearly 16 and 58 million dwt was done in CY12 and CY13, respectively. Though the dry bulk segment fleet addition has tapered it is expected to grow at 6% and 4% in CY15 and CY16, respectively. Consequently, freight rates continue to remain subdued. However, with a pick-up in global seaborne trade, the dry bulk segment is also expected to revive. As a result, Gesco plans to add five Kamsarmax dry bulk carriers in FY16 to take advantage of the turning tide. Exhibit 1: Shipping segment trend 3 The shipping business for FY15-16 has revenue visibility of ~ 33 crore. Of the total number of fleet operating days, crude and product carriers (including gas) are covered to the extent of 27% and 15%, respectively, whereas the dry bulk segment is covered till 15% of fleet s operating days. 25 2 15 1 5 143.3 146.3 481.7 431.1 179.6 1735.2 317.3 24.7 564.5 493.2 1734.1 1492.6 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 Revenue EBITDA PAT Offshore segment continues to support amid turbulent times Gesco through its subsidiary Greatship Ltd operates 24 offshore vessels, which includes three jack-up rigs, four platform support vessels, nine AHTSV, two MPSSV and six ROVSVs. Gesco s offshore segment is pretty young with average age of nearly four years and is equipped with technologically advanced positioning and fire fighting equipment. Further, as safety becomes an important issue for oil companies, a young and advanced fleet due to higher efficiency and minimum downtime comes as a natural choice. Globally, an offshore vessel fleet is more than 22 years old whereas jack-up rigs are about 24 years. Currently, the order book for jack up rigs is at 22% of current fleet (523 rigs) followed by PSV and AHTSV with order book of nearly 19% and 6% of current fleet, respectively. On the demand front, though global E&P companies are expected to increase spending to ~$65 billion (up 4% YoY), spending on offshore is expected to remain flattish. Consequently, utilisation and demand levels are expected to taper for offshore companies. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 3

Exhibit 2: Offshore segment On the offshore front, revenue visibility remains robust and stands at 151 crore for FY15-16. The fleet is better covered to the extent of 82% and 59% in PSV and AHTSV segment, respectively.

However, since the crisis, the NAV declined at a CAGR of ~8% over FY8-13 as asset prices plummeted globally. However, on the back of steady seaborne trade growth at a CAGR of 5% between 212 and 214, asset prices had increased. Prices climbed sharply over FY13-14 posting growth of 3% YoY against an average of 8% in the past three years (FY11 to FY13). In Q2FY16, NAV was at 565, which sequentially improved from 518 in FY15 and 536 in Q1FY16. Gesco s average market price has always traded at a discount to its NAV.

Valuation The key to GE Shipping s stable performance in spite of being in a cyclical industry has been the ability of its management to make the purchase and sale of vessels at the right time. The composition of the fleet (crude, dry bulk, offshore) has mostly been balanced and in line with the market outlook for specific segments. The company has not shied away from reducing exposure to a segment that has a depressed outlook and adding vessels from a segment where the prospects are better. All this has been achieved with a moderate leverage compared to its peers who have been at the wrong end of the asset purchase/sale cycle or over aggressive on a specific segment resulting in fleet concentration and, thereby, highly volatile earnings. We believe that GE Shipping would continue its consistent performance on the back of a diversified fleet profile (48% shipping, 52% offshore). Its presence in the high margin offshore segment would enable it to have revenue visibility, going ahead, and reduce the volatility in revenues and cushion its earnings. GE Shipping s low leverage would enable it to tap fleet expansion opportunities and grow at a decent pace. We expect it to maintain a dividend payout in excess of ~2% over the next two years. Rates for tanker segment have remained stable and improved significantly over the past year. Going ahead, the product tanker category and gas carriers are expected to perform well on back of firmer charter rates. However, dry bulk rates have declined/stagnant and going ahead with increased capacity it is expected to remain subdued. The average P/BV multiple for Gesco was.6x in FY14 against.57x in FY13. Going ahead, as overall outlook remains fairly stable we rollover to FY17 estimates with expected book value of 625 in FY17E and assign a P/BV of.7x to FY17E estimates to arrive at a fair price of 44 and recommend HOLD rating on the stock.
