Reliance Industries Ltd. share price target

Reliance Industries (RIL) net sales for 3QFY2016 declined by 27% yoy to Rs68,261cr as against Rs93,528cr in the corresponding quarter last year, due to fall in crude oil prices. The EBITDA however increased by 31% yoy to Rs11,368cr (marginally below our estimate), led by strong gross refining margin (GRM) and better-than-expected EBITDA of the Petrochemicals division. The GRM stood at $11.5/bbl for the quarter, the highest in seven years, as against $7.3/bbl in 3QFY2015. The Petrochemicals segments EBIT increased 28% yoy to Rs2,639cr, led by strong polymer deltas and higher volumes. This aided in a 463bp yoy expansion in EBIT margin to 13.6% during the quarter. Falling oil prices coupled with natural decline in domestic oil and gas production, coupled with the challenging scenario for the shale business resulted in an 89% yoy fall in the E&P; segments EBIT.

India's second biggest Company - RIL by market capitalization posted Revenues which were down by 4.6 percent to ` 90,589 crore on back of lower output from RIL's flagship KG-D6 gas fields and lower volume at the world's largest refining complex, which operated at 110 % capacity. GRM was at US$8.4 bbl versus US$8.5 in the previous quarter. Street had predicted profit to go up by 17-20% given the low base last year. Petrochemicals (petchem) earnings reduced due to the lack of improvement in oil and gas sector. As a result, we are slightly bearish on petchem segment. The management is optimistic about the petrochemicals business, where it is expanding capacity as it is investing heavily in the petchem business.
