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 report healthy EBITDA for Q1FY19...
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
EBITDA ratio of 3x, which would be post implementation of Kalinganagar
Phase-II.

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
ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 7
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
ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8
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.
