28 January 2019 Tata Power (TPWR) reported a loss of INR1.1b on a consolidated basis in 3QFY19, as against a profit of INR2.7b in the previous quarter and our estimate of INR2.9b. The performance was dragged by a higher-than-expected cost increase, lower realization at the coal JV, and a rise in under-recoveries at Mundra. PAT is adjusted for an INR2.7b gain on deferred tax reversal and an INR0.3b loss from discounted operations. Operational performance (EBITDA and PAT of JV companies) was declined 64% QoQ. The hedge between the two was impacted by a sharp increase in COGS, lower realization at coal JVs due to mix, Indonesias DMO impact, and some one-offs. Mundra under- recoveries increased INR0.13/kWh QoQ to INR0.95/kWh. Mumbai EBITDA (proxy standalone) was steady QoQ, while Delhis PAT increased 68% QoQ, aided by consultancy income. Regulated equity was broadly flat QoQ in both the circles.
