BSE (2QFY20): Another dull quarter. Maintain NEUTRAL

Neutral: BSE Ltd.

Recommendation Target

HDFC Securities

BSE is witnessing continuous decline in core business metrics. Cash market share has slipped to 6.7% vs ~13/9% in FY18/19 and currency derivative is also under pressure. Continued investments in INX and newer initiatives (commodity & Insurance distribution) have impacted EBITDA margins (2.1% in 1HFY20, down ~10% YoY). We expect revenue growth of 12.8/0.3% in FY21/22E led by rebound in transaction revenue (better market condition, StAR MF and INX contribution). We expect some operating leverage to play out with growth (EBITDA margin of 12.0/16.5% for FY21/22E). BSE has net cash of Rs ~20bn (~82% of MCap) and a dividend yield of ~6%, which limits downside. Risks include a rise in competition, loss of market share and an increase in investments. We maintain NEU on BSE based on unexciting 2QFY20. The core revenue stream remains under pressure while new age platform like StAR MF is doing well. Margin expansion will come with growth. We arrive at a SoTP based TP of Rs 585 by assigning 25x to core Sep-21E PAT (Rs 122/sh), Rs 111/sh for the CDSL stake and adding net cash after 20% discount (Rs 351/sh).

26 October 2019 INR22.6b (in-line) were flat YoY. The 9% YoY growth in pharmaceuticals (64% of sales) was offset by 15% YoY decline in Life Science Ingredients (LSI) (33% of sales). Particularly, Generics segment in Pharma and Specialty Intermediates in LSI grew 20%/32% YoY to INR3b/INR2.6b. 450bp YoY (~50bp QoQ) to 66% due to superior product mix. EBITDA margin grew at lower rate of 90bp YoY to 20.7% (in-line) due to higher employee cost (+130bp YoY as % of sales) and other expense (+170bp YoY as % of sales). INR2.2b) due to lower tax outgo. For 1HFY20, sales/EBITDA/PAT came in at INR44b/INR9b/INR4.4b, up 2%/3%/8% YoY. mirror shareholding as that of JLS would be listed on the BSE/NSE. Process would take about nine months. The Pharma entity had sales/EBITDA of INR56b/INR14b and LSI had sales/EBITDA of INR36b/INR4.

BSE (1QFY20): Investing for the future. Maintain BUY

Buy: BSE Ltd.

Target

HDFC Securities

BSE has been investing in future growth drivers like INX, Insurance distribution, SME and StAR MF. Out of these only StAR MF has started generating revenue while the rest would need more time. Incremental revenue from StAR MF, volume revival and higher listing fee should lead to revenue growth of 11.1/11.8% in FY20/21E. We expect some operating leverage to play out with growth (EBITDA margin of 11.4/15.8% for FY20/21E). The stock is down 23% in the last 3M due to stress in the tradition revenue stream, continued investments despite slowdown and buyback tax. Value is emerging with net cash of Rs 20bn (~80% of MCap) and a dividend yield of ~7%. Risks include a rise in competition, loss of market share and an increase in investments. We maintain BUY on BSE based on in-line revenue and better margins. Increasing revenue contribution from StAR MF platform and rise in listing fee (exclusively listed) are positives. Buyback of Rs 4.6bn will be completed and tax applicable is only Rs 0.12bn (~3%). We arrive at a SoTP of Rs 655 at 25x core FY21E PAT plus Rs 134/share for stake in CDSL plus net-cash (ex-buyback and with 20% discount).

PAT dragged by one-time expenses???

2 November 2018 consolidated operating revenues grew 1.2% YoY to INR1.12b, below our estimate of INR1.2b. The miss was on account of lower other revenues which includes Rent, Training, Recovery charges, etc. Operating revenues exclude Treasury Income from Clearing Corporation. EBITDA at INR93m was below our estimate of INR167m, but included one-time charges totaling INR74m from [1] provision for investment in IL&FS;, and [2] provision for bad debts. Adjusted for the same, EBITDA would have been in line. PAT was INR459m (-31% YoY), 12% miss, which again would have been in line adjusted for the one-offs. revenue grew 1% YoY, revenues from equity cash transactions fell 33% YoY to INR218m, owing to prevailing market conditions. The same is the case for Book Building services too, down 28% YoY to INR72m. Annual listing fees, an annuity in nature, grew 10% YoY to INR472m.

We still see value based on (1) Huge net cash of Rs 26bn (~Rs 509/sh, ~62% of MCap), (2) Increased contribution from new growth engines, and (3) High dividend yield of 4.4%. We maintain BUY on BSE, and our SoTP for BSE factors in Rs 126/sh for CDSL, assigns 30x to FY20E core PAT (ex-CDSL) and add back net cash, which works out to Rs 1,090 (32% upside). BSE posted lower-than-expected numbers in 1QFY19 both on the revenue and margin fronts. Revenue was down 19.2% QoQ to Rs 1.17bn (our est. was Rs 1.38bn), led by 42.2% QoQ fall in transaction revenue (23% of rev) and 9.7% QoQ fall in services to corporate (48% of rev).
