Result Update

Operationally steady quarter...

Tata Steel reported a steady set of operational Q1FY19 numbers.

Indian operations reported sales volume of 2.97 million tonnes (MT)

(up 8% YoY, down 2% QoQ) marginally lower than our estimate of 3.1

MT. European operations reported steel sales of 2.45 MT (up 1% YoY,

down 5% QoQ) broadly in line with our estimate of 2.4 MT

The consolidated topline came in at | 37833 crore (up 28% YoY, 5%

QoQ). EBITDA/tonne of domestic operations were at | 17078/tonne

(vs. Q4FY18:| 15872/tonne, Q1FY18:| 10786/tonne), marginally higher

than our estimate of | 16500/tonne. European operations reported

EBITDA/tonne of US$102/tonne (vs. Q4FY18: US$70/tonne, Q1FY18:

US$80/tonne), broadly in line with our estimate of US$100/tonne

Consolidated reported EBITDA came in at | 6467.7 crore (up 30%

YoY). During the quarter, the others segment EBITDA was adversely

affected by unrealised non-cash adverse foreign exchange (forex)

movement at the key South East Asian (SEA) financing entities.

Reported EBITDA, thus, came in marginally lower than our estimate of

| 6899.2 crore. Consolidated EBITDA margin was at 17.1% (vs.

Q4FY18: 18%, Q1FY18: 16.8%)

The company reported exceptional expense to the tune of | 344 crore.

The ensuing reported consolidated PAT was at | 1934 crore

Strategic developments to augur well in long run...

During FY18, at its European operations, Tata Steel successfully

separated pension liabilities with respect to British Steel Pension Scheme,

introducing a new surplus pension scheme with ~69% members. The

company also entered into a joint venture (JV) with ThyssenKrupp for

their respective flat steel businesses. The JV is expected to benefit from

cost synergies in the range of ~€400-600 million realised through

integration. Also, at Indian operations, the company announced further

expansion of 5 MT at its Kalinganagar facility entailing a capex of | 23500

crore, taking total capacity at the location to 8 MT. Post expansion, the

capacity of Indian operations will be 18 MT. Furthermore, Tata Steel has

successfully acquired Bhushan Steel under Indian Bankruptcy Code 2016,

which will create downstream synergies in the long term.

Maintain Tata Steel’s India operations EBITDA/tonne estimates…

We maintain our volume and EBITDA/tonne estimates for Tata Steel’s

domestic and European operations. Accordingly, sales volumes and

EBITDA/tonne estimates of Indian operations were at 12.5 MT and

| 13250/tonne for FY19E and 12.8 MT and | 14000/tonne for FY20E. For

European operations, sales volume was at 10 MT with EBITDA/tonne of

US$75/tonne for both years FY19E and FY20E. From Bhushan Steel, we

factor in sales volume of 4 MT and EBITDA/tonne of | 10000/tonne for

both years FY19E and FY20E.

Domestic operation to strengthen over longer term; maintain BUY

We remain positive on Tata Steel on the back of increasing focus on

higher margin domestic operations. Going forward, in our FY19, FY20

assumptions, we model the consolidation of Bhushan steel and thereby

upward revise our sales volume, absolute EBITDA estimates. However,

on account of the same, consolidated net debt has increased from

~| 69215 crore in March 2018 to | 103529 crore in June 2018. We

continue to value Tata Steel on an SoTP basis wherein, on accounting for

increase in leverage, we marginally cut down our target price to | 675

(from | 700 earlier). We continue to maintain our BUY rating on the stock.

Company Analysis

Healthy increase in domestic sales volume augurs well…

Tata Steel’s Indian operations registered sales volume growth of 8% YoY

during Q1FY19E. Domestic steel consumption during the quarter grew

9% YoY. Going forward, we maintain domestic sales volume estimate for

FY19E at 12.5 MT and introduce FY20E at 12.8 MT. We factor in sales

volume from Bhushan Steel at 4 MT for both FY19E and FY20E.

Integrated Jamshedpur operations bode well in long run……

The company’s Jamshedpur plant has access to captive raw materials

(100% integration for iron ore and ~35% integration for coking coal). This

enables TSL to realise superior EBITDA margins compared to its domestic

peers. Going forward, over the next couple of years, we expect Indian

operations to clock an EBITDA/tonne of ~| 13250-14000/tonne, higher

than its domestic peers. We expect Bhushan Steel to garner an

EBITDA/tonne of | 10000/ tonne for both years FY19E and FY20E.

European operations reported a healthy EBITDA/tonne of US$102/tonne

for the quarter (vs. Q1FY18: US$80/tonne and Q4FY18: US$70/tonne).

The improvement in EBITDA/tonne was marked by higher volumes QoQ,

healthy realisations and increased efficiency in Strip Products (UK), partly

offset by higher raw material cost. Going forward, we model an

EBITDA/tonne of US$75/tonne for both FY19E and FY20E.

Bhushan Steel acquisition

Tata Steel’s wholly owned subsidiary Bamnipal Steel (BNPL) has

successfully completed the acquisition of a controlling sake of 72.65% in

Bhushan Steel (BSL) in accordance with the approved resolution plan

under the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) of the

Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (IBC). Further, settlement of the

amounts equivalent to | 35200 crore towards financial creditors of BSL is

being undertaken as per the terms of the resolution plan and

corresponding transaction documents. The company will pay | 1200

crore to operational creditors of BSL over 12 months as per their admitted

claims as per the terms of the approved Resolution Plan.

For Q1FY19, Bhushan Steel reported steel sales of 0.85 MT and an

EBITDA of | 823 crore, clocking an EBITDA/tonne of ~| 9800/tonne.

However, at the consolidated level, the EBITDA contribution came in at

~| 66 crore due to fair value accounting (wherein costs were inflated on

account of revaluation of assets and inventories) impact and

consolidation effective from May 18, 2018.

We model sales volume and EBITDA/tonne of 4 MT and | 10000/tonne for

both years FY19E and FY20E.

Debt levels to increase from current levels on account of capex…

Net debt during the quarter was at | 103,529 crore increased from

| 69,215 crore in Q4FY18.

Gross debt increased to | 1,16,615 crore (from | 92,147 crore in Q4FY18).

This was primarily on account of Bhushan Steel acquisition, which

increased the debt by | 16,413 crore, new loan of | 3,011 crore,

reclassification of operating lease to financial lease at BSL of | 984 crore

and forex impact & working capital increase of | 4,060 crore.

We expect net debt to increase, going forward, on account of capex

undertaken in FY19E and FY20E.

The management indicated that it is targeting a long term net debt to

Conference call highlights…

Global scenario

Global economic growth continues to remain strong. However,

increasing tariff actions, elevated oil prices and a weakening currency

are matters of concern

Ex-China, world steel production increased by ~13 million tonne (MT)

in H1CY18 vs. demand growth estimate of ~29 MT for full year CY18

Steel demand in China continues to remain robust growing ~8%

whereas production grew ~6% in H1CY18. Production and demand

are both expected to moderate in H2CY18

Chinese steel exports increased during the quarter with higher steel

production and depreciating Yuan. However, inventories in China

witnessed decline to January 2018 levels while exports have

moderated in July 2018

Steel prices softened globally due to ongoing trade friction and recent

softness in raw material prices. However, steel spreads remained

resilient reflecting strong underlying demand

Indian steel scenario

Economic activities accelerated in Q1FY19. Steel demand grew ~9.2%

YoY driven by strong demand in commercial vehicle, infrastructure

and capital goods segment

Net imports increased with trade diversions by steel surplus countries

and a decline in exports

Domestic steel prices remained resilient supported by robust domestic

demand

Europe & South East Asia Scenario

During the quarter, the European economy grew 2.2% YoY. EU

apparent steel demand is estimated to have grown 3.8% YoY.

However, the market share of imports appears to have increased to

24% from 16% in the previous quarter. The UK steel market continues

to suffer from Brexit uncertainty

South East Asia Rebar prices were stable but spreads improved with a

decline in scrap prices. Long steel demand remained weak in

Singapore and Thailand. The construction sector remained sluggish

Operational performance

During the quarter, domestic steel sales grew 14% YoY against steel

consumption growth of 9% YoY. Of the 2.97 MT of domestic steel

deliveries, export deliveries were at 0.16 MT (5.4%)

Branded products contributed ~47% to total sales. The company

continues to boast an enriched product mixed with ~73% deliveries

being value added products

Deliveries at European operations were 2% higher YoY but lower 4%

QoQ owing to the a seasonally strong Q4FY18. The company launched

three new products at TSE including a new automotive offering and a

defect free cold forming steel for applications like cranes and other

heavy vehicles

At the South East Asia operations, production was lower QoQ on

account of the planned shutdown at Tata Steel Thailand. Deliveries

were marginally lower QoQ with continued weakness in long steel

demand, partly offset by improved deliveries at Nat Steel Singapore

on the back of higher exports

Business Outlook

Steel Demand

In India, steel consuming sectors growth is expected to remain strong.

Demand from the automotive sector is expected to remain healthy.

India may remain a net importer given a strong domestic demand.

Rising imports are a concern, which may require policy intervention

Steel demand in Europe is expected to grow 2.1% in 2018 driven by

growth in the construction and mechanical sectors

The SEA demand is expected to remain sluggish in 2018

Steel prices

Domestic steel prices are expected to be range bound given

seasonality. Post monsoons, prices are expected to pick up on the

back of strong underlying demand

Prices in Europe are expected to remain stable through the summer

with stronger than anticipated demand in a seasonally weaker period

Raw material prices

Iron ore prices are expected to be range bound. Premium for high

grade iron ore and pellets are expected to continue as Chinese

producers display strong preference for better grades

Coking coal prices continue to be firm. The coke premium has

increased. Restriction on coal imports at Chinese ports is likely to

impact the trade balance

Other highlights

Tata Steel consolidated Bhushan Steel’s performance since May 18,

2018. EBITDA contribution came in at ~| 66 crore. Costs were inflated

on account of revaluation of assets and inventories

Bhushan Steel for the quarter reported steel sales of 0.85 MT and

EBITDA of ~| 823 crore, thus clocking EBITDA/tonne of ~| 9800/tonne

during the quarter. The management indicated the EBITDA/tonne

would be sustainable if steel prices continue to remain range bound

The management further indicated the ramp up of Bhushan Steel from

3.5 MT to ~5-5.5 MT will take two years with minimum incremental

capex

Smaller subsidiaries (ex-Indian, European, SEA operations) reported a

negative EBITDA of | 400 crore primarily on the back of ~| 1100 crore

non cash loss on account of foreign exchange fluctuations

The current steel prices are ~|500 lower as compared to Q1FY19

average. For Q2FY19 coking coal cost is likely to remain flat QoQ

Outlook and valuation

We remain positive on Tata Steel on the back of increasing focus on

higher margin domestic operations. Going forward, in our FY19 and FY20

assumptions, we model the consolidation of Bhushan Steel. Hence, we

upward revise our sales volume and absolute EBITDA estimates.

However, on account of the same, Tata Steel’s consolidated net debt has

increased from ~| 69215 crore in March 2018 to | 103529 crore in June

2018. We continue to value Tata Steel on an SoTP basis. On account of

increase in leverage, we marginally cut our target price to | 675 (from |

700 earlier). We continue to maintain our BUY rating on the stock.
