ABB’s order to sales ratio is 0.9x,indicating revenue visibility of only9-12 months

Investment Rationale

Crompton a major competitor to ABB.The domestic T&D capex story is well documented, with Indiaplanning to add 75GW of interregional capacity at the end of theXII Five-Year Plan. With the increasing size of generation projects,T&D systems are also moving towards the higher rating system.Crompton has already made its presence felt in the 765kV segment.With Powergrid increasing domestic manufactured

Revenue growth fallen to single digit with respect todouble digitABB’s business mix constitutes of the power segment (~60%) andthe automation segment (~40%). The power segment primarilydepends on investment in the power sector and the fortunes of theautomation segment are linked to industrial capex in the country.Given the current power deficit scenario, there is hugeGovernment of India (GOI) thrust on the power sector.Investments worth INR3.5 trillion and INR4.7 trillion are expectedfor the power sector during the eleventh and twelfth five-yearplans, respectively. Thus, we expect revenue to increase at a 15%CAGR over CY09-11.

Order book to sales ratio less than its peersABB’s order to sales ratio is 0.9x, indicating revenue visibility ofonly 9-12 months. The automation products segment’s order tosales ratio of 0.3x indicates revenue visibility of just 4 months.Peers such as Siemens and Areva T&D have better revenuevisibility with their order to sales ratio more than 1x. Given thecurrent macroeconomic conditions and the slowdown in industrialcapex,

Pressure seen in maintaing margins:ABB is having a tough time maintaining profitability in the projectsbusiness; it is doing alright in the product business, which has notfallen as sharply. The product-automation business has been amixed bag with a sharp increase in EBIT margins in the Septemberquarter. The multinational transmission and distribution (T&D)players are seeing pricing pressure in the T&D market, a key marketfor ABB. Similarly, the process automation segment has also seen asharp decline in margins over the past four quarters.

Execution cycles IncreasingExecution cycles for ABB have extended sharply over the past twoyears led by an increasing mix of the systems business andaccentuated by slower product business growth. While we see lessroom for further declines in execution cycles, an improvement canbe expected only much later in CY10 when product orders maystart witnessing a rebound in growth.

Lagging Order FlowAfter two weak years of order inflows, we expect a rebound inorder inflow growth starting 2H CY11; however, the order inflowCAGR at 12% (CY08-11E) is sharply lower than the 30% growthachieved over the past three years suggesting that overall growthfor ABB may be much slower than that in the past.

Higher than expected order wins from Power grid;ABB, the leading power and automation technology group has wona Rs 1283 million order from Power Grid Corporation of India(PGCIL) for a 400-kV (kilovolt) gas insulated switchgear (GIS)substation to strengthen the power transmission network in thecountry western grid. The substation will be located in Navsari inthe western Indian state of Gujarat. PGCIL is India’s central powertransmission utility, and is presently implementing an ambitiousprogram of grid expansion and modernization aimed at integratingan additional 37,000 MW (megawatts) of power to facilitate inter-regional transmission of electricity across the country.

Healty competition:Companies such as Siemens and Areva T&D are leading playersglobally in the power T&D space. Similar to ABB, these companieshave a strong foothold in the Indian market, which has made thedomestic market highly competitive. Moreover, with manydomestic players expanding, competition is heating up, especially inthe transformers segment.

Regulatory Pressure to intensify competitionCEA’s two new proposals for supercritical units: 1) maximum heatrate of 1,850kcal/hWh and higher steam temperatures at turbineinlet; and 2) future UMPPs requiring to source from domestic cos.could benefit BHEL and L&T. PGCIL could introduce a rulereserving 50% of its HV transformer needs for domesticcompanies. If it materialises, the clear beneficiary will beCrompton.

Rich Premium not justifiedThe stock has historically traded at a 60% premium to the BSECapital Goods Index. Given its low growth profile, this premiumwill shrink, if not go away, as the company has one of the lowestCAGRs of the past five years. At 29x 2010F earnings, the stock istrading at about 21% premium to its historical five-year average of

24x.

Capex PlansThe company plans to spend Rs.700-800m during 2009. Thecompany has reduced its planned spending from Rs.1,400-1,500mdue to slowdown in the global economy.

ABB enters deal with Fincantieri to provideelectricity to vesselsABB and Fincantieri have signed an agreement to collaborate onthe construction, marketing and supply of high voltage shoreconnection systems to provide electricity to vessels in port. HVSCsystems enable ships to draw electricity from onshore power gridswhile in port to operate onboard equipment as refrigeration units,lighting, cooling and heating systems, instead of burning fuel oil torun electrical generators.

ABB signs deal for Abu Dhabi crude pipelineABB, the leading power and automation technology group, hassigned a $21 million (Dh77.23 million) order with EPC contractorChina Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation(CPECC) to design and supply a state-of-the-art integratedelectrical system for the billion-dollar Abu Dhabi Crude OilPipeline project. With a length of 400 kilometres and a diameter of48 inches, the pipeline from Habshan in Abu Dhabi, which links tothe Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operation (Adco)facility, will transport an estimated 1.5 million barrels of crude oilper day to the main terminal in Fujairah in the northern emirates

Industry OverviewPower Industry

Ambitious plans for the Indian power sectorThe power sector is a priority for the Indian government. Indiasuffers from chronic power shortages with a peak power deficit ashigh as 14%. Per-capita consumption is only 660 units compared toa worldwide average of 2,400 units and 14,000 units in the US. TheIndian government has embarked upon an ambitious target of‘Power for All’ by 2012. We believe this has led to a spurt in activityin the sector with huge investments planned in the near future. Thegovernment envisions an addition of approximately 78,000MW inthe Eleventh Five-Year Plan. We expect this to be supplemented bysimilar investments in power T&D of Power data, in 2001, India'sper capita electricity consumption was 408 units per year and isprojected to increase to 932 unites per year by fiscal 2012. The totalpower generation capacity of India as of July 08 is 145,588 MW.

A US$50 bn market for powergeneration equipment and a US$45bn market for power T&Dequipment over FY08E-FY12E.Companies set to benefit from theseinvestments include generationequipment makers such as BharatHeavy Electrical Ltd,), and T&Dequipment makers such as ABBIndia

A total of 78 GW new generationcapacity is envisaged to come on-stream in the Eleventh Plan, ofwhich, ~15 comprises hydro projects.Except for the hydro projects, whichhave been delayed (54% of thewhich, ~15 comprises hydro projects

The XI five year plans to add ~78GW of power generation capacitytaking the total generation capacityto ~210 GW by the end of FY12

We estimate a huge market for power equipmentWe expect a US$50 bn market for power generation equipment anda US$45 bn market for power T&D equipment over FY08E-FY12E. Companies set to benefit from these investments includegeneration equipment makers such as Bharat Heavy ElectricalLtd,), and T&D equipment makers such as ABB India ,CromptonGreaves and Areva T&D India).Planned investments in the powersector in the Eleventh plan are a four-fold increase on the10th five-year plan. Hence, high growth rates demonstrated by companiesover the past three to four years should be sustainable.

Ultra-mega power projectsBesides the projects planned under the Eleventh Plan, thegovernment has also initiated the concept of ultra mega powerprojects (UMPPs). These projects are estimated to be very largeprojects of 4,000MW each to be awarded on a tariff-based biddingprocess. Two projects — Sasan UMPP and Mundra UMPP —have already been awarded to developers. Tariffs quoted in thebidding of these two projects were extraordinarily low and thesuccess of these projects could open up doors to a large amount ofprivate participation in the sector, in our view. The government hasplanned an additional five projects, and their benefits would onlybe realized in the Twelfth Plan.A total of 78 GW new generation capacity is envisaged to come on-stream in the Eleventh Plan, of which, ~15 comprises hydroprojects. Except for the hydro projects, which have been delayed(54% of the which, ~15 comprises hydro projects. Except for thehydro projects, which have been delayed (54% of the total hydropower projects), engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)contracts for almost all the other projects have

Generation� The XI five year plans to add ~78 GW of power generationcapacity taking the total generation capacity to ~210 GW by theend of FY12.

� The private sector participation is expected to increase from~20% in XI five year plan to ~63% in the XII five year plan whichalso highlights the importance of private sector in meeting the plantargets.The capacity addition plan in XI five year translates in aninvestment potential in generation sector of ~Rs 3.8 trillion withCentral Govt.’s contribution at ~Rs 1.8 trillion, State Govt.’s at~Rs 1.25 trillion and Private sector’s contribution at ~ Rs 730billion.

India is amongst the top fivemarkets in the world with AT&Closses at 32%. The government bythe end of XI five year plan targets toreduce the AT&C losses to 15%through Revised–Accelerated PowerDevelopment and ReformProgramme (R-APDRP).

Transmission� Annual rate of growth of the transformer network (for 220 kVand above voltages) during the past decade has been ~6- 7%. Withdesperate need to augment power generation the government hasset a target of 14% p.a. growth in transmission capacity addition inthe XI five year plan to supplement the generation capacity.

� PGCIL’s mandate to develop the national grid for evacuation ofpower from surplus region to the deficit region of the country hasresulted in increase of inter-regional transmission capacity to 19800MW by the end of March 2009 as compared to 16200 MW a yearearlier and this capacity is expected to increase further to 37700MW by 2011-12 and further to 58700 MW by 2014-15.

Distribution� The distribution segment - India’s distribution infrastructureincludes more than 6.76mn ckms of lines and 282000 MVA ofdistribution transformer capacity as of March 2008 which isgrowing at an average rate of 3% and 7.5% respectively.� India is amongst the top five markets in the world with AT&Closses at 32%. The government by the end of XI five year plantargets to reduce the AT&C losses to 15% through Revised–Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (R-APDRP).

R-APDRP programme is a larger face of the APDRP programmewith an outlay of Rs 515 billion. As of Feb 2009 ~Rs 20 billion hadbeen sanctioned by PFC to 25 discoms covering 598 towns. Thescheme has now turned its focus on achievement orientedincentives with a particular emphasis on creation of baseline databy the utilities. The thrust of the scheme is the reduction of AT&Closses to 15% by the end of the XI five year plan.

Industry capex set to take offAlthough the power segment is poised to grow at the faster ratethan industrial segment, but this segment has also stated to seeuptrend.

The Key difference between the power segment & industrialsegment is the availability of funding. In power sector majority ofinvestments is undertaken by the government through budgetaryallocations. However industrial segment needs spending fromprivate sector firms through their capital expenditure planswhich has showed down considerably in the present economicscenario.This has resulted in slowdown of orders and fall in margins for companies focused on project verticals like ABB.

Strong growth in IIP Nos

The Index of industrial production (IIP) has grown ~4.6% Y-o-Yduring the first four months (April-July) of FY10. The data on IIPgrowth for August 2009 will be released on October 12. We believethe Y-o-Y IIP growth will be in double-digits for August 2009 –which is after a span of 21 months. Several lead indicators to IIP,which started showing strength since early FY10, have firmed upfurther in the past two quarters.

GDP, IIP and the manufacturing index showed a significantupward trend over CY02-07, driven by buoyant economic growthand capital investments. During this period, players in the capitalgoods space saw huge order inflows and sales growth in excess of30%. However, the sub-prime crisis in the US from late-2007 led toa slowdown in global economies and liquidity crunch, andinvestments started to be deferred. But as the economy startedrecovering after the downfall with huge investment done by thegovernment in all sectors we can clearly see assign of revival incoming period with a stable growth prospectus.

The inflation and WPI which remain negative during June –August2009 turned positive in September 2009. WPI inflation was 1.21percent on Oct 10, 2009 as compared with 11.30 per cent at end –March 2009.

3rd Quarter Result Review:

Sales Dragging :Sales of the company for the second quarter ended Sep 2009 was lower by 6% to Rs 1468.93crore with its core power systems and power products business fail to power growth andregister de-growth for the quarter ended Sep 2009.

Margins under Pressure:With margins under pressure on account of change in demand and supply dynamics ofT&D equipment market as well as project mix, the segment margin as well as profit ofpower systems as well as process automation was lower.

Revenue of power systems badly hit:Segment revenue of power systems was down 25% (to Rs 381.31 crore) and that of powerproducts was lower by 4% (to Rs 473.37 crore). Similarly the segment revenue of Processautomation too was lower by 3% (to Rs 240.20 crore). However the segment revenue ofautomation products was up by 7% (to Rs 447.80 crore), but that is not good enough to fullycushion the fall in revenue of other core businesses and power the sales.

The segment profit of process automation was lower by 44% to Rs 16.87 crore as strainedby lower segment sales as well as pressure at segment margin (down 520 bps to 7%).

The operating profit for the quarter stood lower by 20% to Rs 137.46 crore as the operatingmargin for the quarter contract by 170 bps (to 9.4%) over and above the lower sales. Otherincome was lower by 73% to Rs 0.75 crore
