For 1QFY2012, on a consolidated basis, IL&FS Transportation Networks (ITNL) posted strong numbers on the top-line front, however the dip in EBITDAM (as expected) led to moderate bottom-line growth. Robust revenue growth came from pick-up in the execution of under-construction projects. We believe ITNL is well placed to leverage on the upcoming opportunities in the road sector on account of being a leader with a robust order book and diversified portfolio. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock. Good overall performance: ITNL reported top line of `1,093cr (`776.1cr), registering 40.9% yoy growth, primarily due to higher revenue of the C&EPC segment. EBITDA margin for the quarter stood at 30.3% vs. 33.7% in 1QFY2011, down 340bp, mainly on account of increased contribution from the comparatively lower margin C&EPC segment, as expected. ITNLs interest cost grew by 35.2% yoy to `142.6cr (`105.5cr). The bottom line witnessed moderate 10.6% yoy growth to `115.7cr (`104.6cr) owing to lower EBITDAM and higher tax provisioning (39.3%) during the quarter. Outlook and valuation: NHAI has begun FY2012 on an aggressive note by awarding projects of ~1,000kms in April and May 2011. This is in-line with NHAIs revised target of ~11,000kms for FY2012, an increase of whopping 117% over FY2011. With the pick-up in award activity from NHAI, we are optimistic on the road segment, given the quantum of opportunities lined up in the sector, thus presenting opportunities for road developers such as ITNL. We have valued ITNL on an SOTP basis, by assigning 6x EV/EBITDA to its standalone business and have valued its investments on DCF/Mcap/BV basis on FY2013E. We continue to maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a revised target price of `259/share (`308/share), implying an upside of 26.1% from current levels. Key financials (Consolidated)

Contsruction Income
August 5, 2011
On a standalone basis, EBITDAM came in at 25.5% (56.9%), registering a phenomenal dip of 3,140bp yoy, owing to lower fee income and higher share of low-margin C&EPC revenue. Going ahead as well we are expecting the EBITDAM to remain under pressure on account of lower fee income (no project wins in last few quarters) and higher share of C&EPC revenues. Hence we are factoring EBITDAM of 21.4% and 17.4% for FY2012 and FY2013 respectively. Pressure on EBIDAM, higher interest cost (yoy jump of 77.5% to `56.0cr) and tax provisioning (38.7%) led to a 15.7% decline in earnings on a yoy basis to `62.1cr (`73.7cr).
Order book
ITNLs outstanding order book currently stands at `9,280cr (5.5x FY2011 revenue), which lends decent revenue visibility over the next few years. It should be noted here that the `1,500cr Udampur-Ramban project has been removed from the order book as it has gone for rebidding. Further, order book does not include the ~`160cr Outdoor Stadium project, Kerala where ITNL is L1. During the quarter, ITNL did not receive any orders primarily due to high intensity of competition seen in the road sector caused by drying up of orders in other sectors. However, the award activity has picked up in the last couple of months,
thus presenting opportunities for road developers; ITNL, being the market leader, is expected to fare well. Exhibit 7: State-wise order book break-up (%) Exhibit 8: Client-wise order book break-up (%)

Investment arguments
Market leader in the growing BOT space
ITNL is a surface transport player, with an established track record of successfully bidding, developing and operating road BOT projects on a commercial basis. ITNL was one of the first movers in the road development segment. The company bagged the Noida toll bridge project in 1998. Since then, ITNL has come a long way and has a sizeable portfolio currently. The company has one of the largest portfolios in the country, encompassing ~9,458 lane kms. ITNLs experience and technical capability give it an edge over competition to bid for new projects.
Pan-India presence
ITNL has 22 road projects spread across the country. The company has decent exposure to state highways (41% of the total project capitalisation), which differentiates it from peers. The one major advantage that state highway projects enjoy over national highways is that they can be bundled with land, making the projects viable. Such diversification prevents fluctuation in the companys revenue stream due to limited exposure to any one region or project.
Key concerns
Interest rate: BOT projects are inherently high-leverage projects. Hence, ITNLs
business model is vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations, and any hike in interest rates could increase the companys interest costs.
Commodity risks: Road players are facing pressures from the recent price inflation in commodities such as cement and steel, which directly affect margins. Execution delays: ITNL has faced delay in the execution of few projects
as the appointment date was not received by the NHAI due to pending environmental clearances.
Awarding from NHAI: Any slowdown in award activity from NHAI could affect
road-focused players such as ITNL.
