UPL (2QFY19): From strength to strength. Maintain BUY

Buy: UPL Ltd.

HDFC Securities

We maintain Buy with a TP of Rs 719 (9x Sept'20 EV/EBITDA). UPL reported Sales/EBITDA/APAT growth of 12.9/16.2/18.4% to Rs 42.57bn/Rs 7.87bn/Rs 2.85bn respectively. PAT was weighed down by a higher tax rate (26.6% against 17.5% in 2QFY18) due to derivation of higher profits from India (attracting a higher tax rate).

EBITDA increased 17% YoY expanding 60bp YoY to 19.7% (in-line). PAT increased grew 12% YoY, EBITDA increased 15% YoY (margin up 50bp to 20.1%) and adj. We expect the momentum to continue in 2HFY19, with revenue growth of 12% YoY and margin expansion of 80bp YoY. LATAM is an important geography for UPPL accounting for 41% of overall revenue (v/s 37% in 2QFY18). Management has maintained its growth (10-12%) and margins guidance on account of the holistic growth prospects across geographies. We maintain our revenue/PAT CAGR (FY18-20) estimate of 44%/8%, and continue valuing UPLL at 13x Jun20 EPS (~15% discount to its three-year average trading multiple) on account of (a) highly leveraged balance sheet (due to Arysta acquisition) leading to increased D/E, (b) pressure on return ratios and (c) higher exposure to forex risk. However, with key drivers of growth in place, we maintain our price of INR749 (20% upside).
