February 8, 2017 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update Continued weakness in offshore; tankers weak Gesco’s revenues for Q2FY17 de-grew 23% YoY to | 749.4 crore (I- direct estimate: | 833.7 crore). On account of historic low utilisation levels for offshore segment, revenues of the segment de-grew 22.5% YoY to | 357.5 crore. However, with a recovery in BDI and tanker rates, revenues from the shipping segment grew 6% YoY to | 569.4 crore. Total revenue days for the shipping & offshore segment were at 3428 days and 1723 days, respectively Lower utilisation levels in the offshore segment coupled with higher employee expenses resulted in EBITDA de-growth of 30.5% to | 386.6 crore (vs. I-direct estimate: | 429.4 crore). EBITDA margins remained pressured, down 573 bps YoY to 51.6% compared to 55.3% in Q2FY17 and 57.3% in Q3FY16 Increase in interest expenses (up 25.7% YoY) coupled with higher taxation (up 14.4% YoY) & depreciation (up 19% YoY) completely offset the rise in other income, which trebled in the quarter. Subsequently, PAT (excluding MTM losses) nearly halved to | 131.8 crore (vs. our expected | 171.8 crore). However, incorporating MTM gains worth | 106.6 crore, reported PAT was at | 238.4 crore Tankers continue to languish; dry bulk remains sticky Baltic Dry Index (BDI) continues to exhibit its seasonal pattern, which reaches its annual peak in October-December on the back of end of the summer holiday season and nearing winter. BDI moved to a two-year high of 1257 in December 2016 from a low of 290 in February 2016. China’s coal and iron ore imports remained upbeat during the quarter. In addition to the same, with YTD scrappage of 3.57% during the year, dry bulk fleet in CY16 grew by a mere 1.87%. Subsequently, average TCY for the quarter of dry bulk grew 10% YoY (up 10% QoQ) to $6972/day. Tanker rates continued their bearish trajectory impacted by delivery of 13 VLCCs during the quarter. In addition to the same, large import markets like India and China started sourcing incremental crude from the Middle East, rather than the Atlantic Basin that impacted the ton mile demand. We believe that with scheduled fleet addition of ~7% each for product & crude tankers and 9% for dry bulk, oversupply would continue to prevail. Given the grim oversupply shipping scenario, we believe the subdued rates would continue thereby capping revenue growth rates. Offshore remains a concern; outlook bearish, recommend SELL… Capex spending for exploration & production (E&P) was marked down for a third consecutive year by ~20%. Hence, utilisation levels across offshore assets continued to decline. For premium jack ups, lack of contract renewals led utilisation levels to come down from around 90% at the start of 2014 to around 55% as on date. In case of platform supply vessels (PSVs) and anchor handling tug cum supply vessels (AHTSVs) more than half the fleet was either idle/stacked or working in spot market at a very low utilisation. With ~45% of total revenues contributed by the offshore segment, revenues from the same continue to decline for a sixth consecutive quarter. Approximately, four vessels are idle while an additional three are expected to add to the idle fleet in FY17. The outlook for offshore continues to remain bleak, which would further put pricing pressure on renewals of offshore assets. The glut like situation in the tanker, dry bulk and offshore segments affirm our cautious view on the shipping sector. We roll over our estimates to FY19 and assign a P/BV multiple of 0.45x.

Company Analysis Oversupplies to plague dry bulk, tanker rates… Since 2010, the dry bulk fleet has increased the most given the higher execution from shipyards. In addition to the same, the trade scenario continues to remain subdued, resulting in BDI crashing to 30-year low levels. Subsequently, the shale gas revolution in the US together with geopolitical risks rising in Iran and Middle & North Africa (MENA) region resulted in long-haul trade routes such as China, India and Latin-America. In terms of global fleet addition, crude and product tanker segment tonnage capacity increased at a CAGR of ~4.5% in 2007-13. As the segment added lower capacity vis-à-vis the dry bulk segment, the freight rates decline was arrested, to a large extent. In the dry bulk segment, capacity addition of nearly 106 and 58 million dwt was done in CY12 and CY13, respectively. Though the dry bulk segment fleet addition has tapered it is expected to grow at 6% and 4% in CY15 and CY16, respectively. Consequently, freight rates continue to remain subdued. However, with a slower-than-expected pick-up in global seaborne trade, the company’s orderbook is at two Suezmax crude carriers, which are expected to join the fleet by Q4FY17.

Offshore segment plagued by decline in E&P expenditure and oversupply Gesco through its subsidiary Greatship Ltd operates 25 offshore vessels, which includes four jack-up rigs, five platform support vessels, eight AHTSV, two MPSSV and six ROVSVs. Gesco’s offshore segment is pretty young with average age of nearly four years and is equipped with technologically advanced positioning and fire fighting equipment. Further, as safety becomes an important issue for oil companies, a young and advanced fleet due to higher efficiency and minimum downtime comes as a natural choice. Globally, an offshore vessel fleet is more than 22 years old whereas jack-up rigs are about 24 years. Exhibit 4: Oversupply in offshore segment… Nos. Jackup Rigs AHTSV's PSV

Tankers reverse trend; earnings to remain awry… With a proactive management at the helm, Gesco has deliberately reduced its exposure to the dry bulk segment. Further, on the back of higher tanker rates majority of the carriers are held on spot market. The management also gains from fluctuations of asset rates on the back of trading of ships. Gesco is the second largest shipping fleet operator in the country with 31 ships totalling ~2.4 million dwt haulage capacity and an average age of 9.6 years. Gesco’s fleet profile is skewed towards the tanker segment due to which it was comparatively less impacted by the meltdown in the shipping industry. Softness in dry bulk shipping freight rates continued on the back of subdued trade environment. Exhibit 5: Revenue trend…

Net asset value adversely impacted by lower utilisation In terms of net asset value, over the past 10 years (FY05-14) Gesco recorded an average NAV of | 560 on a consolidated basis with a peak of | 632 in FY08. However, since the crisis, the NAV declined at a CAGR of ~8% over FY08-13 as asset prices plummeted globally. However, on the back of steady seaborne trade growth at a CAGR of 5% in 2012 and 2014, asset prices had increased. Prices climbed sharply in FY13-14 posting growth of 30% YoY against an average of 8% in the past three years (FY11-13). In Q2FY16, NAV was at | 565, which sequentially improved from | 518 in FY15. Gesco’s average market price has always traded at a discount to its NAV. However, given the current volatility in the offshore markets, the management, in the past five quarters, is unable to share consolidated NAV. The standalone NAV is at | 321. However, the management has affirmed the range of the consolidated NAV in a range of | 375-440. Exhibit 12: NAV to market price discount

Valuation Gesco in 9MFY17 raised ~| 900 crore via issuance of unsecured non-convertible debentures (NCDs). In addition, the company prefers to hold ~| 2000 crore of cash. This additional liquidity will give the company financial muscle to buy and sell assets on timely basis which remains key to GE Shipping’s stable financial performance in spite of being in a cyclical industry. The composition of the fleet (crude, dry bulk, offshore) has mostly been balanced and in line with the market outlook for specific segments. The company has not shied away from reducing exposure to a segment that has a depressed outlook and adding vessels from a segment where the prospects are better. All this has been achieved with a moderate leverage compared to its peers who have been at the wrong end of the asset purchase/sale cycle or over aggressive on a specific segment resulting in fleet concentration and, thereby, highly volatile earnings. We believe that GE Shipping would continue its consistent performance on the back of a diversified fleet profile. Its presence in the high margin offshore segment would enable it to have revenue visibility, going ahead, and reduce the volatility in revenues and cushion its earnings. Rates for tanker segment have remained stable and improved significantly over the past year. Going ahead, the product tanker category and gas carriers are expected to perform well on back of firmer charter rates. However, adding to the woes of dry bulk rates, which have declined/stagnant, offshore has dented the future prospects of the company. The average P/BV multiple for Gesco was 0.64x in FY14 against 0.57x in FY13. Going ahead, as the overall outlook remains bleak we roll over our estimates to FY19 and value Gesco at 0.45x P/BV on estimated book value of ~| 700. Subsequently, we arrive at a fair price of | 315 and have a SELL recommendation on the stock. Exhibit 13: P/BV trend
