Owing to strong order book and execution visibility on large projects such as Delhi Metro and Sion-Panvel road project, we expect revenues to grow at 17% CAGR over FY14-17E to Rs 19.2bn. We estimate PAT CAGR of 20% over FY14-17E and expect JKIL to maintain healthy RoEs of ~15% in FY15-17E factoring the dilution impact of recent fund raising. We initiate coverage on JKIL with a BUY rating with TP of Rs 422/sh based on 10x P/E of average FY16-17 EPS (Sep-16) of Rs 42.2, in line with multiples of mid cap construction companies.

Strong urban transportation player JKIL is a specialised player in urban transportation

having executed more than 75 projects and currently having over 40 ongoing projects. JKIL is involved in the construction of metro, roads, flyovers, skywalks, buildings and tunnels.

Backward integration key to higher margins JKIL has been able to maintain EBITDA margins of over

15% in FY10-14 owing to a large fleet of owned modern construction equipment and 15 ready mix concrete plants catering primarily to its captive requirements.

Key Risks Key downside risks are lower than expected order

inflows, decline in EBITDA margins below 16% and concentration of over 90% order book in the transportation segment.

J. KUMAR INFRAPROJECTS : INITIATING COVERAGE

JKIL : Strong urban transportation player Strong urban infra EPC player : JKIL is a specialised

player in urban transportation having executed more than 75 projects and currently having over 40 ongoing projects. JKIL is involved in the construction of metro, roads, flyovers, skywalks, buildings and tunnels. The company’s promoters have been in the contracting business since 1980 (starting as a maintenance contractor for PWD buildings). JKIL was originally incorporated as J. Kumar &Company (India) in December 1999. It started its operations in 2004 subsequent to the transfer of the Class 1A registration of J. Kumar & Company to JKIL.

Current order book of Rs 41.5bn : JKIL has an order book of ~Rs 41.5bn as of Jun-14 (3.5x FY14 revenues including L1 orders of Rs 10bn). Currently, over 90% of JKIL’s order book is concentrated in the transportation segment with the balance coming

from irrigation, civil construction and piling projects. Although the state of Maharashtra accounted for nearly all of JKIL’s order book up to FY10, JKIL has diversified across geographies and currently more than 50% of the order book is outside Maharashtra.

Backward integration key to higher margins : JKIL has been able to maintain EBITDA margins of over 15% in FY10-14 owing to a large fleet of owned modern construction equipment and 15 ready mix concrete plants catering primarily to its captive requirements.

JVs to augment bidding and execution : JKIL has entered into joint ventures with national and international players such as China Railway No.3 Engineering Group Co. Ltd, NCC Limited (NR) and PBA Infrastructure Limited to enable it to bid for larger projects and scale up execution capabilities.

Backward integration has enabled JKIL to achieve superior EBITDA margins In order to ensure timely completion of projects, JKIL

owns a number of plants and equipments required for construction. This includes tunnel boring machines (TBM), hydraulic piling rigs HR 180 and HR 130, putmiester mobile boom placer concrete pump and stationery concrete pumps, RMC plants, transit mixers, various capacity cranes, poclains, front end loaders, JCBs, trucks and tippers and a large number of shuttering and centering plates. Further, the company engages in minimal sub-contracting of work.

As a result, JKIL has achieved margins of over 15% over FY09-14 as compared to the industry average of 9-12% from road projects.

JKIL has 15 RMC plants located across various parts of the country. The availability of the ready mix transit

mixers enables JKIL to service multiple locations for its contracts from a single nodal point. JKIL also sells ready mix concrete to third parties which helps in augmenting the company’s revenues and use the RMC’s to their optimum levels.

JKIL also has a work force that consists of 3,024 full-time employees out of which 761 consist of engineering staff. Hence, JKIL has a track record of timely project completion and has also received bonuses for early completion in few projects.

Going forward, we believe that JKIL’s backward integration and owned equipment will enable the company to grow its order book without substantially sacrificing margins.

Urban Infrastructure : Strong growth prospects in India In 2011, ~31.3% of India’s population lived in urban

areas and the rate of urbanisation was expected to be ~2.47% between 2010 and 2015 (as per CIA World Factbook).

According to the High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC, set up by the Indian Ministry of Urban Development) 2011 report, there is a huge requirement of investment in urban infrastructure with Rs 40,000bn as capital expenditure and another Rs 20,000bn for operation and maintenance (O&M) expenditure (as per 2009-10 prices) required to be spent over the next 20 years.

Of this, Rs 17,300bn will be required for urban roads, Rs 8,000bn for sectors delivering urban services such as water supply, sewerage, solid waste management and

storm water drains. Further, Rs 4,000bn will be required for renewal and redevelopment including slums.

For the Twelfth Five Year Plan, the working group constituted by the Planning Commission on financing urbanisation has estimated a required investment of Rs 2,884bn for the urban transport sector. The group has also estimated a required capex of Rs 992bn for water supply/sanitation for the Twelfth Plan period.

With the formation of a new Government at the Centre in May 2014, the proposed thrust on urbanisation through the proposed development of 100 Smart Cities across India is expected to provide an additional fillip over the long term.

With a net debt/equity of just 0.5 as of Jul-14 and capex programme nearing completion, JKIL is well positioned to bid for new projects over FY15-17E on a sustainable basis Management maintains that it will be judicious in bidding for projects and will look to maintain EBITDA margins of over 15% across its order book

JKIL’s order book provides strong revenue visibility

Current order book of Rs 41.5bn : JKIL has an order book of ~Rs 41.5bn as of Jun-14 (3.5x FY14 revenues including L1 orders of Rs 10bn). Currently, over 90% of JKIL’s order book is concentrated in the transportation segment with balance coming from irrigation, civil construction and piling projects.

Order book to drive revenue growth : JKIL’s revenues have grown at a 24% CAGR over FY09-14 driven largley by order book tripling to Rs 36.6bn as of Mar-13 from Rs 12.2bn as of FY09. As a result of the growing revenue coupled with large order book, we expect revenues to grow at 17% CAGR over FY14-17E to Rs 19.2bn. With a net debt/equity of just 0.5 as of Jul-14 and capex programme nearing completion, JKIL is well positioned to bid for new projects over FY15-17E on a sustainable basis.

Further, with an expected thrust on urban infrastructure development by the new Central Government, more orders will start flowing in at the State level across geographies that will enable the company to maintain a diversified order book.

Management maintains that it will be judicious in bidding for projects and will look to maintain EBITDA margins of over 15% across its order book, even on a higher revenue base.

As a result, we expect JKIL to maintain a healthy order book/bill ratio over FY15-17E with transportation projects having over ~80% share. Any large project wins through the JV route may provide an additional fillip to revenues.

We expect 17% revenue CAGR for JKIL over FY14-17E.The revenues will be driven largely by execution on large ongoing projects such as Delhi Metro and Sion-Panvel road project We assume a similar margin trajectory of ~17% over FY15-17E owing to the company’s policy of owning machines such as TBM’s (Tunnel Boring Machines) and 15 RMC plants that will enable it to keep margins in check

Financial Analysis As highlighted earlier, JKIL’s order book largely consists

of transportation EPC projects. We expect revenues to grow at 17% CAGR over FY14-17E to Rs 19.2bn. With a book-to-bill ratio of 2.6x as of Mar-14 (excluding L1 orders of ~ Rs 10bn), JKIL has strong revenue visibility over the medium term. Revenues will be driven largely by execution on large ongoing projects such as Delhi Metro and Sion-Panvel road project.

The management expects to sustain EBITDA margins at over 15% in the medium term. With expansion in business operations, JKIL will be able to benefit from operating deleverage. Hence, we assume a similar margin trajectory of ~17% over FY15-17E owing to the company’s policy of owning machines such as TBM’s (Tunnel Boring Machines) and 15 RMC plants that will enable it to keep margins in check.

We estimate PAT CAGR of 20% over FY14-17E and expect JKIL to achieve RoEs of ~15% over FY15-17E even after taking into account the dilution impact of recent fund raising of Rs 1.4bn through QIP. Post the recent QIP issue, we expect JKIL to maintain a healthy net debt/equity ratio over FY15-17E.

In our view, the key monitorable going forward will be JKIL’s ability to execute larger and more complex projects across geographies without compromising on margins and maintain a healthy working capital cycle. Smooth execution will enable the company to bid for more projects in the long term and sustain double digit profit growth beyond FY17E.

The key risk to our assumptions is lower than estimated EBITDA margins from incremental order wins.

Valuations & views We like JKIL because (1) strong EBITDA margin profile

of over 15%, (2) high revenue visibility with Mar-14 order book of Rs 31.5bn (2.6x FY14 revenues), (3) strong balance sheet with net debt/equity of 0.5x post the recent QIP of Rs 1.4bn (4) geographical and segmental diversification of order book.

We have valued JKIL’s EPC business at Rs 422/sh on 10x P/E of average FY16-17 EPS (Sep-16) of Rs 42.2, in line with multiples of mid cap construction companies.

We initiate coverage on JKIL with a BUY recommendation and a TP of Rs 422/sh (CMP Rs 319/sh).

Key risks Slowdown in order intake : Although we believe that

the Government’s focus on infrastructure spending will sustain, any decrease in spending could affect order intake.

Profitability risk : Historically, JKIL has enjoyed EBITDA margins of over 15%. However, with a scale up in execution across geographies that involve more complex projects, JKIL may face challenges in maintaining similar margins going ahead.

Delay in execution : Project delays due to land acquisition or other regulatory bottlenecks could adversely affect JKIL’s revenues going forward.

Concentration in transportation : With over 90% of JKIL’s order book concentrated in the transportation segment, significant cost competition and slowdown in orders could affect JKIL’s revenue and margin profile in the long term.

We initiate coverage on JKIL with a BUY recommendation and a TP of Rs 422/sh (CMP Rs 319/sh) We have valued JKIL’s EPC business at Rs 422/sh on 10x P/E of average FY16-17 EPS (Sep-16) of Rs 42.2, in line with multiples of mid cap construction companies.
