Q4FY24 Result Review

Beat on top-line despite margin pressure
Jindal Steel & Power
Summary
Jindal Steel & Power (JSPL) revenue was ahead of our forecast. Revenue grew
15% QoQ to Rs134.8bn. Sales volumes increased by 11% QoQ to 2.01 mn tonnes
due to higher exports. The export contributed 11% to total volumes (vs. 3% in
Q3FY24). However, EBITDA declined by 14% QoQ to Rs24.4 bn due to lower
realization (down 5% QoQ) and high coking coal prices. Value added products
contributed 64% to sales in FY24 (vs. 63% in FY23). Q4FY24 PAT fell 52% YoY to
Rs9.3 bn due to impairment provision of Rs3.6 bn of Australian mine. We cut
our FY25 EBITDA estimate by 4% and broadly maintain FY26 EBITDA forecast.
We value the stock based on EV/EBITDA multiple of 6x FY26E EBITDA to derive a
Target Price of Rs 863 (earlier Rs742). We maintain HOLD rating on the stock
given our neutral stance on the steel sector due to rising exports from China.
Key Highlights and Investment Rationale
Focus on capacity expansion: JSPL aims to double its capacity at Angul by
FY25. JSPL plans to commission Pellet plant-II with a capacity of 6MTPA by the
end of Q4FY25. Also, BOF-II/BOF-III with a capacity 3.3/3.0 MTPA will be
commissioned in Q2/Q4FY25. The other projects BF-II with a capacity of
4.6MTPA ASU, Coke oven, RMHS and ACPP-II 1,050 MW are likely to be
commissioned in Q2FY25. By the end of FY25 the total crude steel capacity will
be at 15.9MTPA vs. 9.6 MTPA in FY24.
Other updates: Infrastructure segment contributed most at 39%, Trade and
retail contributed 33%, and rest by others. HSM hit a run rate of 3 mt in
Q4FY24 and expect to achieve run rate 3.5 mt in FY25 and 6.0 mt by FY26.
JSPL
is focusing on converting semi-finished products into value-added
finished goods to boost the bottom line. Currently, semi-finished goods
volume stands at 1.4 mt.
