Nascent business with strong growth potential; 10% potential upside. ADD

We arrive at a PE-based target price of `200 and initiate coverage with an ADD rating. We value the company at 27X September 2013E EPS; ~15% premium to global food service companies given strong growth prospects and the nascent stage of the out-of-home eating market in India. We expect PAT CAGR of 26% over FY2013-15E. Our positive view stems from our confidence in (1) the brand equity of Mainland China, (2) proven execution capability of the management; SRL is the only pan-India food-service chain in the fine-dining space and (3) robust back-end processes that are in place.

SRL: A pioneer with first-mover advantage

SRL forms part of the organized food-service market, which is in a nascent stage and forms only ~20% of the industry. The organized industry is growing at 25% a year, driven by demographic and socio-economic changes such as rising disposable income, increasing number of working women and growing urbanization. Fine-dining restaurants are at the top of the evolution of eating habits. SRL is favorably placed in this market as it is backed by (1) the strength of a professional management, (2) robust supply chain, (3) a scalable model, (4) customer focused and innovative marketing and (5) first-mover advantage. Key focus areas are (1) expansion of the presence of Mainland China, (2) emphasizing the owned-restaurant format versus a franchise and (3) improvement of profitability and economies of scale.

Expansion-driven sales growth

We model sales CAGR of 30%, EBITDA CAGR of 30% and PAT CAGR of 26% over FY2013-15E. We expect SRL to open 11 Mainland China restaurants in FY2013E and nine in FY2014E and two new Sigree restaurants in each of the two years. We model 10% reduction in Mainland China’s churn rate in FY2013E over FY2012 and assume churn rates will stay flat in FY2014E to account for slowing discretionary spends, rising competition and lower-than-average churn rates of the new restaurants. SRL raised `1.8 bn from a public issue, which will be used to open new restaurants in a phased manner.

Key risks: Heavy dependence on a single brand, food inflation, failure of new restaurants

The key risks are (1) ~62% of sales come from a single brand, (2) food inflation and (3) failure of new restaurants.

Speciality Restaurants (SRL)

Consumer products

A menu full of offerings. We initiate coverage of Speciality Restaurants Ltd (SRL) with an ADD rating and target price of `200. SRL is a pan-India food-service chain and is favorably placed as it is backed by (1) a professional management, (2) robust supply chain and (3) a scalable model. It is focusing on expanding the presence of its flagship brand, Mainland China, due to wide acceptance of Chinese cuisine and relatively superior margins. We value the company at 27X Sept13E EPS; PAT CAGR of 26% over FY2013E-15E. The key risk is significant dependence on a single brand.

For private Circulation Only. FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT KOTAK SECURITIES’ RATING SYSTEM AND OTHER DISCLOSURES, REFER TO THE END OF THIS MATERIAL.

Earnings growth to slow to 14% yoy; opportunity to book profits

We see banks’ overall earnings growth slowing to 14% yoy with public banks growing by 12% yoy (ex-SBI by 7% yoy) and private banks by 19% yoy as revenue growth is slowing and overall provisions remain high. We believe (1) interest rates are unlikely to decline sharply, (2) stress on the balance sheet is yet to peak as we see impairments from infrastructure and (3) revenue growth may be challenging. Stocks rallied sharply and we would use the opportunity to reduce exposure. We downgrade PNB to REDUCE (from ADD), OBC to ADD (from BUY) and HDFC Bank to SELL (from REDUCE). We like ICICI Bank, Federal Bank and SBI at current levels despite limited upside.

NIM to remain under pressure; wholesale fund entities well placed

We expect NIM in the sector to be under pressure (+/- 10 bps) though banks with significant dependence on wholesale funds should start reporting NIM expansion (Canara, OBC, Yes and IndusInd). The full impact of the reduction of base rate (May 2012) should be reflected in the current quarter. NBFCs are unlikely to report significant NIM improvement in 2QFY13 though recent trends in liquidity offer comfort due to (1) CRR/SLR reduction and (2) seasonally slack demand for loans. Overall loan growth is showing signs of slowing (17% yoy, 0% qoq until September 07, 2012). Banks will find it difficult to maintain high NIM as the impact of higher cost of funds in an environment of slower economic growth may increase NPLs.

Outlook on loan impairment negative; credit costs to stay high

Our outlook on fresh loan impairment is negative even though some concerns, like SEB exposure, are being addressed. Retail portfolios (for banks and NBFCs) should see marginal rise in stress; however, the corporate portfolio, especially in the SME and mid-corporate segments are expected to report higher stress. Incrementally, we believe stress in the infrastructure value chain should begin to be reflected in the current quarter; exposure to several other segments (like textiles, iron and steel) has not yet provided respite. Fresh additions to restructured loans will be lower as SEB-related restructuring would be low. We expect loan-loss provisions to grow 20% (public banks 16% due to a higher base from their transition to the stringent NPL platform in 2QFY12).

NBFCs: Loan growth to stay strong, margins stable

We expect most NBFCs to report stable operating performance in 2QFY13: 20-30% loan growth, almost stable margins qoq driving 25-30% growth in core earnings. Most retail asset classes reported stable collections/ NPLs though we expect NBFCs to accelerate provisions in light of a tighter regulatory framework. Improved monsoons over the last few weeks provide comfort to rural-focused NBFCs. Asset finance companies with fixed-rate asset book (Shriram Transport, Mahindra Finance and Shriram City Union Finance) will be key beneficiaries of improving liquidity. We prefer IDFC and LICHF in the infrastructure finance and housing finance segments respectively. We find moderate upside after rolling over price targets of NBFCs to September 2013.

Banks/Financial Institutions India

Banks’ earnings to slow, retail NBFCs well placed. 2QFY13 should see overall earnings growth of 14% yoy; we expect revenue growth of 12% yoy and overall provisions to remain high (20% yoy) as we believe stress on the balance sheet will continue. We believe the recent run-up in prices is an attractive opportunity to reduce exposure to banks. We downgrade HDFC Bank (SELL), PNB (REDUCE) and OBC (ADD). Despite limited upside, we like ICICI Bank, Federal Bank and SBI and asset-finance companies among NBFCs like Shriram Transport, Mahindra Finance and Shriram City.

India Banks/Financial Institutions

8 KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH

Most bank valuations offer little comfort; use positive sentiment to cut exposure

Strong rally in financials. We note that financial stocks, especially banks, rallied by 10-30% over the past month after a (1) cut in CRR, offering an outlook of a more subdued interest rate environment, (2) action from policymakers with hike in fuel prices, relaxations on investments (FDI in retail) and addressing bottlenecks that required immediate attention, (3) possible revival in the investment cycle and (4) inexpensive valuation in select banks, especially mid-tier PSU banks.

Several macro challenges persist. We believe that taking a constructive call on the sector is a bit early as we see headwinds and would use the underlying positive sentiment to reduce our exposure. (1) We believe the RBI would find it challenging to cut interest rates aggressively despite signs of slowdown in economic activity till inflation moves to a comfortable zone; our economist expects RBI to reduce policy rates by another 50 bps in 2HFY13; (2) the Government is yet to address its fiscal imbalance and has probably addressed short-term issues (fuel hikes) to prevent the system from destabilizing. We are yet to see meaningful reforms; (3) loan sanctions broadly indicate a weak outlook in FY2012-14E; (4) the non-retail portfolio remains under stress. While stress in the infrastructure portfolio is slowly emerging, other segments like textiles, iron and steel are yet to see a revival in demand and regulatory issues (mining ban and non-availability of fuel). We believe that adjusting for these numbers, the stocks are not as inexpensive as headline valuations suggest.

Downgrade select banks. We use the underlying positive sentiment to reduce our exposure to banks. We downgrade PNB to REDUCE (from ADD as risk to the balance sheet remains high), OBC to ADD (from BUY as the impact of SEB-related restructuring and decline in funding costs are reasonably reflected at current multiples). In private banks, we downgrade HDFC Bank as we find valuations expensive at 3.6X book and 18X FY2014E EPS for RoEs of 18-19% and earnings growth of ~25% CAGR over FY2012-14E. We revise our TP to `580 from (`575 earlier).

Retail NBFCs better placed. With limited exposure to corporate assets (except infrastructure NBFCs), we believe retail NBFCs are relatively better placed in the current environment. Strong growth, high margins and RoE and low NPL compare retail NPL with private banks. Toping off of interest rates (even as we don’t expect the RBI to aggressively cut lending rates) offers comfort to retail NBFCs. Retail NBFCs (except housing finance) have a fixed-rate asset book while a large portion of their liabilities carry a floating rate. Likely stable/lower borrowing costs and a steadily reprising loan portfolio yield will improve margins for retail/asset finance NBFCs. An increase in meaningful competition from banks, slippages in retail segments remain key risks.

NBFCs: Steady trends in 2QFY13

Loan growth will likely remain steady. We expect most NBFCs to deliver steady yoy loan growth. After a seasonally weak 1QFY13, we expect business traction to pick-up in 2QFY13. However, 2HFY13 is crucial for most consumption-linked plays; pick-up in traction in infrastructure development after the monsoons boosts demand for derived segments like construction during the second half of the financial year.

High traction will help IDFC to accelerate loan growth to 33%; stable qoq;

Mahindra Finance may deliver 33% loan growth due to 40% loan growth in FY2012 and 37% loan growth in 1QFY13. Improvement in the monsoon offers a respite even as the next three months remain crucial;

Demand for housing remains weak. Business in smaller towns will drive business for housing finance companies. SBI’s recent home loan rate cut is a risk for other players;

Gold loan companies’ guidance is for a stable loan book.

Margins: Stable in 2QFY13E. We expect reported NIM to be stable qoq for most NBFCs. Short-term rates declined by about 1% over the last three months; since short-term loans have a small share (10-20%) in the overall borrowings of NBFCs, the impact will not be significant. Reprising of old low-cost debt may raise costs though higher rates on new loan assets are likely to offset this, in most cases.

We don’t expect significant NPLs though provisions to be high

KOTAK INSTITUTIONAL EQUITIES RESEARCH 11

According to most banks and NBFCs, retail assets continue to deliver stable collections. Some banks/ NBFCs have reported higher slippages in CE/CVs though the decline is manageable, in their view. Improvement in the monsoons boosted collections towards the end of the quarter. We however expect provisions to increase as most NBFCs are likely to make excess provisions in light of expectations of NPL and likely tightening regulations. The draft NBFC Committee (Usha Thorat) report has provided for three months days-past-due norm for recognition of NPLs (in line with banks) from the current practice of six months days-past-due basis. While NBFC may get a longer period (2-3 years, as highlighted by news reports) to comply with these guidelines, most NBFCs might make accelerated provisions to comply faster with the guidelines. Notably, the guidelines are currently in draft form.

Rolling over price target to September 2013E

We are raising our price targets by 5-6% for non-banks as we rollover to September 2013E--12-months forward. We consider the average of fair value estimates for FY2013E and FY2014E to calculate our September 2013E-based price target.

Mahindra Finance: Pick-up in monsoon is positive

We are revising our estimates for Mahindra Finance by 8% and 2% in FY2013 and FY2014 to factor faster loan growth and somewhat better margins and capital gains from stake sale in the insurance distribution business. We are raising our fair value estimate for the stock to `850 (based on FY2013E) and `960 (based on FY2014E); our target price (average of the two) is `905 as compared to `775 earlier.

Improvement in monsoon over the last month vis-à-vis 25% deficit in the first two months makes us more assertive about near-term growth and NPL performance of the company. MMFS’s business (primarily asset-quality performance) has historically reported high linkages with the monsoon though incrementally the linkages are reducing. We now expect MMFS to report 31% and 25% loan growth over FY2013E and FY2014E respectively against 22% and 24% assumed earlier.

MMFS sold 12.4% stake in the insurance distribution company to leapfrog investments at Rs643 mn, thereby valuing the business at Rs5.2 bn or about 18X annualized earnings of 1QFY13. The deal is awaiting regulatory approval and will likely be completed in 2HFY13. The company will realize capital gains of Rs600 mn (before tax) on this deal.

Loan growth at 17% yoy; loan growth slowing down

We see loan growth slowing down, albeit slowly, in 2QFY12. We broadly expect loan growth at 17-18% levels with YTD growth at 3%, no growth in overall loans qoq in 2QFY12. Sectors like infrastructure segment has been slowing down as concern rise on the viability of various projects especially given the regulatory action and economic slowdown. Credit substitutes seem to have picked up as indicated by the recent issuances of commercial paper and bank’s investment in these issuances (85% qoq growth though overall proportion to loans is lower). As highlighted in our recent report, ‘Weak loan growth outlook’, dated September 13, 2012, we expect overall loan growth to further decelerate to 14% levels over the next few months.

Funding seems to be less of a concern as the underlying liquidity environment has become comfortable post the CRR and SLR reduction in recent quarters.

NIM to remain under pressure; NII expected to grow 13% yoy

We broadly expect NIM to remain under pressure in the current quarter though wholesale banks should start witnessing marginal benefit from the recent decline in short term rates. We expect overall NII growth at 13% yoy with public banks at 9% and private banks at 22% yoy. The full impact of base rate reduction taken in May 2012 should be reflected in the current quarter and select banks have been reducing their underlying spreads across products to ease the strain on corporates. Select banks which reported higher income de-recognition in 1QFY13 on the back of (1) loans restructured in the aviation sector (like Bank of India) and (2) higher slippages are likely to see some marginal relief qoq.

We expect ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank to report stable margin qoq. Axis Bank, Yes Bank and IndusInd Bank should report marginal improvement in NIM qoq largely on the back of lower cost of funds and run-off of PSL portfolio. Amongst public banks we expect OBC, Corporation Bank and BoI to report marginally higher NIM while most of the other banks to report stable/marginal decline in NIM.

Non-interest income to grow 11% yoy; core fee income growth muted

We expect overall non-interest income to grow 11% yoy (up 4% qoq) primarily due to higher contribution from treasury income. Core fee income growth would be muted as corporate activity remains subdued. ICICI Bank (dividend income to decline sharply qoq) and Axis Bank are likely to continue to report a weak performance.

Recovery from written-off assets should be marginally higher than they were in 1QFY13 as mid-tier banks wrote off higher loans in 2HFY12 primarily on loans that slipped during the migration-related exercise.

We expect overall treasury income to more than double yoy (75% yoy adjusting for SBI which reported a marginal gain in 2QFY12). At the end of the quarter, the yield curve closed flat across the medium and the longer end of the curve. 10 year, 5 year, 2 year were flat +/-1 bps change while the one-year showed a marginal decline of 7 bps over June 2012. Over the past few quarters yields have declined from their peak of 9% to 8- 8.4%.

Asset quality pressure to continue; fresh restructured loans to decelerate marginally

We expect fresh loan impairments (slippages and restructuring of loans) at elevated levels in the 2QFY13. Retail-focused banks could probably see a marginal rise in NPLs but focus would continue in the non-retail loan dominated portfolios in which we expect slippages to stay high, especially SME and mid-corporate loans.

However, fresh restructuring is likely to be relatively lower than the previous quarter as we don’t expect large restructuring from the SEB portfolio across banks (50% have already been restructured), especially with the restructuring package just being announced.

Recovery trends will marginally improve sequentially as the focus has shifted to strengthening the balance sheet. We maintain a fairly cautious outlook about asset quality and expect overall loan-loss provisions to remain elevated (20% yoy). Public banks would be relatively lower (16% yoy) as the movement towards a stringent NPL recognition platform peaked in 2QFY12 resulting in significantly higher provisions.

The best (placed) versus the rest – a few numbers

Exhibit 1 compares the incumbent wireless operator pack (top-3: Bharti, Vodafone and Idea) with the challenger pack on their FY2012 performance and some derived metrics. A quick look at some key metrics and our thoughts on the same—

Revenues. Incumbents had a combined revenue market share of a little below 66% in FY2012. We note that the incumbents’ combined market share has stayed constant despite the sharp increase in the breadth (#) and depth (network coverage) of challengers; Vodafone’s and Idea’s RMS gains have made up for Bharti’s loss. We must mention here that the top-3 players’ RMS share of 66% is low by global standards (see Exhibit 2 for the subs market share of top-3 players in select global markets; RMS for top-3 is typically higher than subs market share).

EBITDA. The inherent ‘economies of scale’ nature of wireless business reflects in the EBITDA levels of the incumbent pack versus the challenger pack. Challengers as a pack generated negative EBITDA in FY2012, while the incumbents had an EBITDA margin of 28%. Again, this is not to say that incumbents are in the best of shapes from an absolute profitability perspective. Challengers’ market share aspiration has brought down incumbents’ OPM below what good-return-economics would demand. More important point is that challengers are struggling to achieve even EBITDA break-even despite now being in the market for 3+ years. We also note that the incumbents’ combined EBITDA includes EBITDA losses for Voda/Idea in their new circles.

Quality of subs. Comparing RMS relative to subs market share provides a fair indicator of quality of subs of the challenger pack versus the incumbent pack. Here’s how reported subs market share, VLR (proxy for active subs) market share, and RMS stacked for challengers in FY2012 – 51.3%, 40.6%, and 34.3% respectively. The same for incumbents – 48.7%, 59.4%, and 65.7% respectively.

ARPU, MOU, RPM. These are some derived metrics where the quality of subs shows up, again. Incumbents as a pack enjoyed 2X the ARPU of the challenger pack, 1.57X the MOU and 1.28X blended RPM. Interestingly, the incumbents’ RPM premium is despite the challengers’ having higher contribution from non-voice revenues (thanks primarily to the EVDO dongle business of RCOM, TTSL and Sistema). Non-voice revenues are by definition RPM-accretive given that they do not add to the denominator (minutes) of the RPM (revenues/minutes) equation. Incumbents’ voice RPM was 35% higher than the challengers, clearly suggesting that (1) a voice tariff premium for better quality networks in not only possible, but also sustainable, and (2) aggressive price discounting has not yielded meaningfully enough market share gains for the challenger pack.

Telecom India

Just how wide is the operational gap between the top-3 and the rest? Even as the large number of high-stake players in the Indian wireless market defies conventional ‘scale economies’ of the business, the underlying financial and operational metrics do not. We make an attempt to compare the challengers (as a pack) with the incumbents (top-3, as a pack) on a few such metrics. The deep dive only serves to confirm our long-held view – none of the challengers has a viable pan-India business case. This is not to suggest any of them is going to stop trying to build one. There is more to business decisions (especially at-the-margin ones) than spreadsheet-suggested odds, we surmise.

Asset utilization. Interestingly, the challenger pack has the same number of 2G cell sites on the ground as the incumbents pack and in fact has higher gross capital employed. The trouble is substantially lower asset turn (or revenue per unit of gross block) for the challenger pack as compared to the incumbents. Our computations suggest that the incumbent pack had a TTM revenues/gross block of 0.55X for FY2012 while the challenger pack had a materially lower 0.20X (65% lower). In addition to the inferior per-sub revenue metrics, a couple of other factors contributes to this – (1) duplication of networks across challengers – most of the challengers, for obvious economic reasons, have focused exclusively on the urban/sub-urban markets, driving some asset turn inefficiency, and (2) challengers participated aggressively in the 3G/BWA auctions, taking their gross capital employed higher; this has not yielded revenue share benefits, however. Even adjusted for spectrum, ex-spectrum asset turn for the challengers (0.28X) was 63% lower than the incumbents’ 0.74X.

What then keeps the challengers around and what is the way forward for them?

Tricky questions both and the best we can do is guess. Price aggression, 3G/BWA investments and MNP have not yielded enough market share gains for any of the challengers to have a viable business proposition thus far. A few % points of pricing uptick (i.e. a larger market) are unlikely to do the same, either. In this context, two possible reasons keeping the challengers fighting, in our view, are—

There are rewards to be reaped if a challenger can sustain and at some point become the fourth largest operator in a more normal market structure (let’s say a six-player market). An exit at this point would mean forgoing that opportunity. There is light at the end of the tunnel, perhaps, and none of them want to jump off the train, just yet.

Lack of ‘graceful’ exit options, in the form of being acquired. Poor business economics and stressed debt-laden large balance sheets across challengers make the possibility of exiting (selling out) with a gain or even a modest loss on equity capital invested extremely slim, in our view. Selling out at this point would only convert ‘unrealized’ losses into ‘realized’ ones, something that people/companies are generally averse to.

Way forward—challengers could look at curtailing their pan-India ambitions and pick their circles of focus, in our view. Achieving a top-4 RMS rank (necessary in our view to have a viable long-term business case) in a few circles is likely to be easier than creating a pan-India business case, in our opinion. Uninor has already done the same, clearly stating its intentions to curtail its operations to nine circles in India. For some challengers, this also opens up the possibility of monetizing spectrum in the non-focus circles.

Disclaimers

Several datapoints used for the analysis represent our estimates.

We have clubbed the incumbents and challengers into packs to keep the analysis simple. Even as broad conclusions would apply to all players in either pack, there are player-wise differences that our analysis does not capture.

Restructuring to address immediate cash crunch, political will key to long-term sustainability

The Cabinet has approved a loan-restructuring package for cash-strapped distribution utilities, according to which, half their outstanding short-term loans as on March 2012 will be taken over by state governments and the balance will be restructured with a three-year moratorium. The Central Government will also offer performance-linked incentives for AT&C loss reduction, though experience of similar programs (APDRP) is less encouraging.

The recent spate of tariff increases (while insufficient) seems to suggest a new political will (or commercial compulsion) to improve operations of state distribution utilities, though we are of the opinion that state ownership of distribution utilities continues to pose a risk to commercial viability of distribution utilities in the long-term (see detailed discussion).

Fuel availability and unviable sale arrangements pose earnings risks

Availability of fuel: (1) Linkage coal from Coal India, (2) dwindling gas supplies, (3) potential de-allocation of captive coal blocks and (4) cost-prohibitive imports against a backdrop of unviable sale arrangements threaten earnings of new generation companies (Lanco, Adani Power, Tata Power).

The burden of SEB losses over the past decade has been borne by the banking system (see Exhibit 2), unlike in the previous cycle when generation/transmission utilities funded losses. We view the current restructuring as a help to generation/transmission companies to contain their working capital commitment: FY2012 saw an increase in debtor days beyond the mandated 60 days.

We maintain a conservative stance despite recent tariff hikes and policy impetus

We are encouraged by (1) tariff hikes being announced/implemented in various states, (2) urgency shown by policy makers to address the problem of deteriorating SEB finances and (3) more prudent lending by the banking system. However, in a situation of deteriorating demand-supply balance of coal, we recommend aligning with utilities with no fuel dependence (NHPC, Powergrid).

The paradox of fixing tariffs and Government ownership

The Shunglu Committee, in its recent report, attributed lack of regular tariff revisions to all stakeholders: The regulator, the Government and the distribution utility itself. The committee notes the deficiency does not lie in the “structure” of regulatory mechanism but in its functioning and implementation. The committee lists reasons ranging from political intervention to a lackadaisical approach of utilities as the potential causes. We highlight some key reasons as identified by the committee.

Utilities India

SEBs: After restructuring, larger challenges. Even as state distribution utilities continue to service bonds, issued about a decade ago, the Government has infused a fresh lease of life into their cash-strapped operations by offering restructuring of short-term loans. We view the developments favorably for cash-strapped distribution utilities, but they address only in a limited way the concerns about generation companies as fuel availability and unviable sale arrangements will continue to bog-down earnings.

Regulator: Avoiding “tariff shocks” even for validated costs

The regulator often disallows even validated costs, leading to the creation of ‘regulatory assets’ to avoid tariff shocks to consumers. We note that the regulatory asset is as high as Rs79 bn (in Tamil Nadu, for instance).

Absence of tariff revisions without annual accounts/annual revenue requirement, has led to the regulator not revising tariffs, in some cases. The committee believes the regulator could make reasonable estimates even in the absence of audited accounts or revenue petitions and thus should not delay the tariff-determination exercise.

Tariffs for state utilities are fixed on targeted T&D loss reduction and failure to achieve the targets leads to under-recovery.

The committee points out that a part of action (or inaction) of the regulator could be attributed to the influence of a given State Government. The committee notes many state regulators failed to act as independent bodies and work under undue influence of the corresponding State Government.

State utilities: A lackadaisical approach

One of the key reasons for lack of frequent tariff revisions has been the failure of state utilities to update annual accounts, which in turn delays the auditing of the accounts. Regulators insist on audited accounts to reconcile past expenses and absence of updated accounts tends to delay the process, and delay fixing future tariffs. The committee notes that some distribution utilities do not file their Annual Revenue Requirement (ARR) petitions.

State governments: Using regulatory powers to address political goals

The state governments (through power vested by Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003) have at times (1) forced regulators to reserve the cheapest available power for a specified category, which distorts tariffs and (2) overridden the functioning of regulatory bodies.

FCCB activity – previous and upcoming

As we finally reach the lag end of the FCCB redemption season, the number of issuers with refinancing issues has been far less than previously anticipated. While redemption clarity is yet to emerge for the likes of Moser Baer, Sterling Biotech and Tulip Telecom, most of the prominent issuers have managed to refinance their obligations without much fuss. Everest Kanto Cylinder was one of the issuers which requested for the extension of its maturity date from October 2012 to February 2013 in recent times. On the other hand, Geodesic submitted an application to the RBI seeking its approval to buy back its outstanding FCCBs prior to its maturity date. Suzlon, after successfully redeeming two FCCB tranches earlier, has two more tranches cumulatively worth US$142 mn (face value) maturing in October 2012. Among the other issuers whose FCCBs come up for maturity next month, Karuturi Global has already informed the exchange that it is looking to restructure its obligation and has received a principal approval from the RBI for extension of maturity period by one year for this proposal.

FCCB universe – Tulip Telecom corrects ~50% last month

Tulip Telecom saw its stock price correct 50% last month as it delayed repayment of its FCCB obligation (redemption value of US$140 mn). The market pessimism towards Tulip Telecom has been overshadowed only by Sterling Biotech which is down ~90% on a 12-month basis. On the positive front, Geodesic saw its FCCB price spike (along with its stock prices) as it announced an equity buyback while seeking approval for an FCCB buyback. Some of the FCCBs like Everest Kanto Cylinder, GTL Infrastructure and Plethico Pharmaceuticals have been trading at heavy discounts to redemption value even as we approach their maturity date.

Redemptions worth US$1.3 bn expected in the next three months. For the remaining period of CY2012, Indian issuers are set to repay FCCB obligations cumulatively worth ~US$1.3 bn.
