Dilip Buildcon Ltd. share price target

Dilip Buildcon Ltd (DBL) has reported weak numbers for 4QFY19 with revenue flat YoY and PAT up only 1.2% YoY. Delay in getting appointed dates for the HAM projects awarded earlier has resulted in weak revenue growth for the company. We as well as the management believe that it is temporary in nature and post the general election result, we expect appointed dates to come through along with new order inflows which augurs well for the industry as well as the company. EBITDA margin at 17.5% was down 100bps YoY on account of higher early completion bonus accrued last year. We have tweaked our FY20 and FY21 numbers marginally and continue to value DBL based on 10.0x FY21 EPS to arrive at...

Over the last 3yrs DBL has (1) Established itself as an astute execution machine; (2) Diversified segmentally & geographically; and (3) Undertook complex projects. While strong growth and diversification led to high capex intensity, large order booking followed high equity outgo on road HAM projects. Balance sheet is now choked and DBL needs to recapitalize the same. This can be achieved by equity fund raise/stake monetization in under construction HAMs. Capex cuts is short view, over long term will impede growth. Multiple re-rating is contingent on significant deleveraging over the next 2yrs. We maintain BUY with a cautious approach on debt built up. We maintain BUY on DBL, with a reduced TP of Rs 737/sh (vs. Rs 833/sh earlier). We have cut our target EPC multiple from 13.5x to 12x to factor in the high debt, delay in receiving appointed dates for 32% of order book & limited visibility of monetization of under construction HAM projects.

Delayed appointed dates for HAM projects mar revenue growth Dilip Buildcon (DBL) reported below-expected Q4FY19 revenue at Rs 25.7bn, flat YoY, due to execution constraints led by delays in award of appointed dates for HAM projects. EBITDA margins declined 100bps YoY to 17.5%, in line with our estimate. EBITDA dipped 4.9% YoY and adj. PAT fell 7.3% to Rs 2.2bn, but was above estimates due to higher other income and a lower effective tax rate. The Mar'19 order backlog stood at Rs 212bn, 2.3x FY19 revenue. We trim...

View: Sharp rise in stock price compels to downgrade to Accumulate We maintain our revenue, EBITDA margins and Adj. PAT estimates for FY19E, FY20E and FY21E as DBL maintains its Q3FY19 guidance. We will revisit our estimates post Q4FY19 results. However, we expect reduction in revenue visibility (order book to TTM revenue) from 2.5x (Q3FY19) to ~1.6x (Q2FY20E) will become a concern considering no order inflow during 1HFY20E. Currently, we expect DBL's revenue/ Adj. APT to grow at muted CAGR of 14.0%/ 15.8% over FY19-21E. The stock has rose sharply by more...
