Dalmia Bharat Sugar - Q2FY21 Company Update - ICICI Direct

Sugar companies with aggressive sugar exports have been able to significantly reduce sugar inventory, generate huge cash flows & reduce considerable working capital debt by September 2020. Dalmia Bharat sugar (DBSL) also exported more than 1.7 lakh tonnes (lt) of sugar in 2019-20 sugar season, generated operating cash flow of ~Rs. 900 crore in the last six months & reduced working capital debt by ~Rs. 770 crore. With 4.4 crore litre of distillery volumes in H1FY21, the company is utilising its 240 KLD capacity at more than 100%. We believe the company would be able to divert more than 60% of sugarcane towards B heavy ethanol that would result in ~50,000 tonnes of sugar sacrifice for additional ethanol production.

Valuation & Outlook

With significant reduction of sugar inventory through export & sacrifice towards B-heavy ethanol, DBSL would be able to generate cash from operations to the tune of Rs. 607 crore & Rs. 444 crore in FY21E & FY22E, respectively. We expect debt reduction of Rs. 790 crore by FY22E. With new addition in distillery capacities, the visibility of revenues & earnings growth has extended for next five years. We revise our target price to Rs. 180 (from earlier target price of Rs. 160) and maintain our BUY recommendation.
