Dalmia Cement (DALCEM)

Cement Business

Net sales from the cement business increased by 9.1% QoQ to Rs 344.7
crore on account of a 10.6% QoQ increase in cement sales volume to
1.08 MTPA in Q4FY10. On a YoY basis, the net sales from the segment
has remained almost flat as the 18% YoY decline in realisation diluted the
positive impact of 20.9% YoY increase in the sales volume.
Cement EBITDA has declined by 65.5% YoY and 31.5% QoQ to Rs 40.4
crore as the EBITDA margin has dipped by 2190 bps YoY and 695 bps
QoQ to 11.7%. On a per tonne basis, the EBITDA declined by 71.4% YoY
and 38.1% QoQ to Rs 375 per tonne. This is because the expenditure has
increased by 9% YoY and 7.1% QoQ to Rs 2825 per tonne and realisation
has declined by 18.1% YoY and 1.3% QoQ to Rs 3201 per tonne.

Sugar business

Net sales from the sugar business increased by 37.8% YoY to Rs 153
crore on account of a 64.2% YoY increase in the sugar realisation to Rs
41,662 per tonne in Q4FY10. On a QoQ basis, net sales from the segment
has declined by 12.1% as the 26.1% QoQ decline in sugar sales volume
negated the impact of a 19% QoQ increase in sugar realisation.

Sugar EBITDA has declined by 57.1% YoY and 51.4% QoQ to Rs 18.0
crore as the EBITDA margin has dipped by 2607 bps YoY and 950 bps
QoQ to 11.8%. On a per tonne basis, the EBITDA declined by 49% YoY
and 34.1% QoQ to Rs 4,901 per tonne. This was because the increase in
expenditure by 133% YoY and 33.4% QoQ to Rs 36,761 per tonne diluted
the positive impact of the increase in realisation by 64.2% YoY and 19.1%
QoQ.

Projects update
During the year, the company has commissioned two clinker units of 2.5
MTPA each at Ariyalur and Kadapa. This has increased the cement
capacity to 9 MTPA. The company has also started a trial run of the 27
MW thermal power plant at Ariyalur.
Demerger of cement, power and refractory business into DBEL (to be listed)
In March 2010, DCBL announced the demerger of its cement, power and
refractory business to DBEL, which is to be listed in six months. This will
have two subsidiaries Avnija properties and Dalmia Power, which will
control the cement and power businesses, respectively. Avnija has a
current operating capacity of 9 MTPA and is expanding it by 10 MTPA
through Dalmia Cement Ventures (DCVL) in the next three to four years. It
will also have control over listed company OCL India’s 45.4% stake. The
current capacity of OCL is 5.3 MTPA. Dalmia Power (DPL) will have 74%
control in Dalmia Power Ventures (DPVL), which has a thermal power
capacity of 72 MW. Avnija will have the balance 26% control in DPVL.

Investment of Rs 750 crore by KKR (PE firm) into Avnija

Dalmia Cement (DCBL) has raised Rs 750 crore from PE firm Kohlberg
Kravis Roberts (KKR) for its wholly owned unlisted subsidiary Dalmia
Bharat Enterprises (DBEL). The amount raised would primarily be used for
capex in the cement business. Avnija, a 100% subsidiary of DBEL (to be
listed), will have 100% control over the cement business, which has a
current operating capacity of 9 MTPA. The 10 MTPA expansion plan
under Avnija has a capex of Rs 4500 crore, which will be funded through
debt of Rs 3250 crore, Rs 750 crore of the KKR PE funding and the rest
through internal accruals. The amount raised values Avnija at Rs 3570
crore or the cement business at $89 per tonne.

Valuations
At the CMP of Rs 214, the stock is trading at 10.5x and 6.3x its FY11E and
FY12E earnings, respectively. The stock is trading at an EV/EBITDA of 7.6x
and 5.5x FY11E and FY12E EBITDA, respectively. On an EV/tonne basis,
its cement business is trading at $64 and $60 its FY11E and FY12E
capacities, respectively. We are valuing the cement business at $62 per
tonne (40% discount to the replacement cost of $107 per tonne) at its
FY12E capacity of 9 MTPA and sugar business at Rs 1.5 lakh per tonne
(50% discount to the replacement cost of Rs 3 lakh per tonne). We are
maintaining our positive view on the stock with a BUY rating and a
revised target price of Rs 246 per share.
