JK Lakshmi Cement (JKLC) reported a strong performance for 4QFY2012, with the companys adjusted net profit coming in at `73cr in 4QFY2012 as against `32cr in 4QFY2011. Bottom-line growth was driven by strong 12.8% yoy growth in realization, coupled with a similar 12.7% yoy improvement in volumes. During 4QFY2012, the company changed its method of charging depreciation on captive power plants from straight line to WDV with retrospective effect, which resulted in additional depreciation of `63cr, of which `39cr pertaining to previous years was charged as exceptional expenses. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock. OPM at 21.5%, up 291bp yoy: During 4QFY2012, JKLC registered top-line growth of 26.3% yoy to `527cr on account of higher volumes and better realization. The companys volumes (including clinker) for the quarter stood at 1.42mn tonnes, up 12.7% yoy. Realization growth of 12.8% yoy was aided by strong demand in the companys prime markets. Despite the substantial increase in raw-material costs, OPM was boosted by a significant 14.5% yoy decline in per tonne power and fuel (P&F) cost. P&F cost declined due to lower pet coke prices, higher use of bio-mass and better energy efficiency. Outlook and valuation: Going forward, we expect JKLC to post a healthy 14.5% CAGR in its top line over FY2012-14E, aided by an 11.7% CAGR in dispatches over the period. At the CMP, the stock is trading at cheap valuations in terms of replacement cost (EV/tonne of US$43 on FY2014E capacity), even after considering its presence in unfavorable locations. Hence, we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of `79.

Performance highlights
Top line up 26.3% yoy, driven by higher realization and dispatches
During 4QFY2012, JKLC registered 26.3% yoy growth in its top line to `527cr on account of a 12.8% yoy improvement in realization to `3,717/tonne and a 12.7% yoy increase in dispatches to 1.42mn tonnes. On the operating front, the companys OPM improved by 291bp yoy to 21.5% due to strong realization growth and significant savings in power and fuel cost.

Per tonne analysis

In 4QFY2012, JKLCs power and fuel costs per tonne fell by 14.5% yoy to `705/tonne on account of higher use of cheaper biomass as fuel, use of power from waste heat recovery plants, reduction in pet coke prices and improved energy efficiency. Freight cost per tonne grew by 7.9% yoy to `656 due to higher costs of petroleum products and increased railway freight charges. Operating profit per tonne stood at `801 during the quarter, up 29.4% yoy.

Conference call highlights

JKLC has a capex plan of `1,500cr-1,600cr (including `500cr-600cr already spent) to be spent over the next 18 months, which would be incurred towards setting a 2.7mtpa greenfield plant at Durg in Chhattisgarh with split grinding units in Orissa and Jharkhand and kiln capacity augmentation in its Rajasthan plant from 3.96mn tonnes to 4.29mn tonnes. The planned cost for Durg plant is `1,250cr. The company expects Durg plant to come on stream by October 2013 and the companys total capacity then would be raised to 8mtpa. Further, the companys split grinding plant at Jhajjar, Haryana, commenced operations in April 2012. The company further indicated that it has placed equipment orders for the Durg plant. The company is also planning to revive JK Cement Udaipur (a group company currently under BIFR, having 1.4mtpa cement plant) at an estimated total cost of `500cr and expects the revival to be completed by April 2014. JKLC plans to invest `150cr into JK Cement Udaipur and plans to have a controlling stake in the latter. However, the ownership structure is yet to be finalized. JKLC, which had earlier announced an equity share buyback up to an amount of `97.5cr at a maximum price of `70 per equity share by conducting open market purchases in Stock Exchanges, is still in the process of completing the same.

Investment rationale
Rising captive power usage to improve profitability: JKLC has a power purchase tie-up with VS Lignite for 21MW power for the next 20 years at `3.2/unit (closer to its captive power cost) in addition to its current total captive power capacity of 66MW. Thus, effectively the company has access to 87MW of cheaper power, which is more than sufficient for its current capacity. Further, the company has increased the use of biomass in its overall usage, which is also expected to improve its profitability going ahead. Unfavorable plant locations to affect profitability: JKLC has 79% of its total capacities in Rajasthan, which is state-wise India's second biggest capacity cluster, with 44.8mtpa of total capacity in FY2011. Capacities in Rajasthan face a huge demand-supply gap even after catering to surplus demand of nearby supply-deficit states (Haryana, Punjab, NCR, Chandigarh and UP), apart from meeting its own demand.
