Engineers India - Q2 FY21 Result Update - YES SECURITIES

Engineers India (Q2 FY21) - BUY (Target Rs102, Upside 39%)

ENGR's business prospects are improving as management expects execution run-rate to improve significantly in H2FY21. Sales dropped 5.6% yoy (-6% vs our est.) as Consultancy (PMC)/Turnkey (LSTK) sales were down by 2%/9% in Q2FY21. Order book is at Rs89.8bn (3x TTM sales) while domestic refining PMC business has strong order pipeline of ~Rs25bn in next 18months. EBITDA was down 28% yoy as LSTK segment margin slumped from 7.7% to 1.9% while consultancy segment margin largely remained flat. Adj. PBT was down 25% yoy (-9% vs our est.). CFO was at Rs452mn vs negative Rs309mn in H1FY20. Proposed share buyback (Rs5.87bn) via a tender offer at Rs84/share. Govt of India (GoI) will participate in buyback; however, GoI intends to keep its stake at least 51%.

When compared to GDP growth, the average energy multiplier for India has been at ~0.8x of GDP growth. Hence, at ~5% CAGR demand for petroleum products, India is likely to face supply deficit situation by FY25. In addition, current refining capacity utilization stands at 100%+, which warrants significant capex, implying improving business prospects for ENGR over medium to long term. PMO has set plans to nearly double its oil refining capacity in the next 5 years (refining capacity expansion of ~250MMTPA), so the cumulative capex is expected to be Rs7-8trn, implying a PMC opportunity size of ~Rs450-500bn for ENGR. ENGR's core business is services based on strong technical knowhow which enables it to operate on negative working capital & negligible capex (Infinite core RoIC) leading to strong free cash flows. We expect FCF of Rs34bn over FY20-FY25E, implying superlative avg. FCF yield of 15%. Cut FY21E EPS by 14% to factor lower other income & earnings miss in Q2FY21. Trading at an inexpensive valuation (-1.5SD of long term average) and we see it as being on the cusp of the next capex cycle upturn & expect 38% EBITDA CAGR over FY21E-FY23E. Given its debt-free balance sheet, market leadership, and strong execution capability, retain BUY with TP of Rs102.
