Top-line disappoints
GPPL, for 2QFY2016, reported a 10.6% yoy decline in revenues to `140cr. On a
sequential basis, revenues were down 18.8%.The Reported top-line numbers are
below our expectation of `179.8cr. The top-line de-growth on a yoy basis is on
account of (1) 24% decrease in Container business volumes (to 146,000TEUs),
and (2) 38% decrease in Dry Bulk business (to 628,000MT).
Decline in Container and Dry Bulk revenues is attributable to (1) cyclone weather
at port, witnessed (Force Majeure) (2) re-alignment of services, and (3) impact of
global slowdown.
On the top-line front, the 2 positives were (1) 52% qoq increase in Liquid Farm
Tanks volumes to 163,000MT, and (2) better realizations at both, Container as
well as Dry Bulk business.
Container Terminal volumes of GPPL reported yoy decline for second consecutive
quarter. Volumes de-grew 5% yoy in 1QFY2016, with decline further accentuating
to 24% yoy in 2QFY2016 to ~146,000 TEUs.

EBITDA Margin dips below 50% levels
GPPL reported an EBITDA of `68cr, which is below our expectation of `95cr.
Reported EBITDA margin of the company was at 48.2%, down from 50.2% in the
sequential quarter and 53.7% in corresponding quarter a year ago. EBITDA during
the quarter was impacted on account of yoy revenue de-growth, as well as owing
to 21.5% yoy increase in employee costs to `14cr.

GPPL reported a PAT of `53cr, down 42.4% yoy, and 33.9% qoq. On adjusting
for reversal of asset impairment provision (`60.4cr) and deferred tax charge of
`60.0cr (for 1HFY2016), the adj. PAT stands at `61cr, which is below our
expectation of `86.1cr. Adj. PAT margins during the quarter was at 43.4% vs
58.7% in the corresponding quarter year ago. Adj. PAT number, on yoy basis, was
impacted due to (1) repayment of entire debt (leading to just `0.04cr of interest
expenses in 2QFY2016 vs `9cr in the corresponding quarter a year ago quarter),
(2) 38.9% increase in depreciation expenses to `23cr, and (3) 54.6% decrease in
other income to `16cr. The sharp increase in depreciation expense is owing to
change in estimated useful life of assets (resulting in
`6.7cr increase in
depreciation expenses).

Concall Highlights
GPPL is running as per schedule its ongoing capex (to increase the container
capacity from 1.1mn TEUs to 1.35mn TEUs) and expects to commission
operations by 4QFY2016. Management confirmed that it has already incurred
30-35% of the total proposed capex.
Rail line disruption led to loss of Container volumes by 25,000-30,000 TEUs.
Re-alignment of services by FM3 line (to Mundra Port) contributed to loss of
75,000-80,000 TEUs (annual basis) and discontinuation of services by NMG
contributed to a loss of 20,000-30,000 TEUs (annual basis).
Post the rail line disruption, GPPL re-directed 2 coal and 2 fertilizer ships,
which led to a loss of 0.2-0.25MT of Bulk volumes during the quarter.
Having set-off all of its carry forward losses, the company is now eligible to
start distributing dividends from FY2016 onwards. Management highlighted
towards ongoing discussions at the board room level.
Revision of our Estimates
On incorporating adjustments for (1) decline in Container business volumes, which
could further result in EBITDA margin decline, and (2) deferred tax charge, we are
reducing our PAT estimates for FY2016E and FY2017E to `309cr and `284cr,
respectively.

Investment Arguments
Stable Container volumes and ramp-up in Bulk business to lead
to strong revenues for FY2016-17E:
Ramp-up of operations from Hanjin, Maersk, and NMG helped GPPL report
18.7% CAGR in Container volumes during CY2010-14 to 780,000 TEUs. Also, in
the last few quarters, GPPL has maintained an average quarterly Container volume
run-rate of 180,000+ TEUs with the exception of 2QFY2016 (where it reported
~146,000 TEUs). Again, with the exception of 2QFY2016, the Container business
in the last 5 quarters has been running at over 90% utilization levels (at yard level).
Sensing that the port would soon hit peak utilization, GPPL embarked upon an
expansion plan. This expansion plan (yard level capacity would increase from
850,000 TEUs to 1,350,000 TEUs) is likely to get completed by 4QFY2016.
Notably, in the backdrop of global slump in the pricing environment, many
shipping lines are exploring alternatives. This when coupled with loss of business
from FM3 and NMG in 2QFY2016, indicates that GPPL may find it challenging to
further scale operations from here-on. Accordingly, we now expect GPPL to report
~742,000 and ~760,000 TEUs for FY2016E and FY2017E, respectively.
Similarly, despite the recent traction in Bulk volumes business, we are now building
lower volumes for FY2016-17E.
Given the loss of business and slump in the global pricing environment, we expect
delays in further ramp-up in operations from here-on. Accordingly, we have
revised down our estimates for FY2016-17E.
Ramp-up in Liquid Farms business:
Sensing business opportunity, GPPL tied-up with Aegis Logistics, IMC, and Gulf
Petrochem to construct and set-up Liquid Tank Farms. We expect GPPL to continue
reporting strong growth in profitability, well aided by ramp-up in business in Liquid
Tank Farms, which also happens to be a high margins business. EBITDA margin in
Liquid Tank Farms is in the range of 65-70%.
Outlook and Valuation
We expect GPPL to report soft earnings during FY2016-2017E, on the back of (1)
weak container volume growth outlook, and (2) delays in further ramp-up in the
Bulk business.
At the current market price of `166, GPPL is trading at FY2016E and FY2017E P/E
multiple of 25.2x and 27.4x, respectively. At current valuations, the stock price is
capturing all the possible positives.
We have valued the Ports business (on revised numbers) using free cash flow to
equity holders (FCFE) to arrive at FY2017 based business value of `154. Given
that the company is debt free, has negative working capital, strong market
positioning, and better revenue visibility, we have assumed cost of equity of 11%
for discounting the FCFE. We have assigned 10x P/E multiple to our FY2017E
earnings of Pipavav Rail Corporation Ltd (PRCL) to arrive at a business value of `7
(adjusted for
38.8% stake). On using the sum-of-the-parts based valuation
methodology, we arrive at FY2017E based price target of `162. Given the limited
upside potential in the stock from the current levels, we maintain our Neutral
rating on the stock.

Company Background
Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd (GPPL) is India's first BOT Port project awarded to SKIL
Infrastructure led JV (Gujarat Maritime Board being the other partner in the JV) in
1992. In 2005, a APM Terminals (part of AP Moller Maersk) led consortium bought
the entire stake in GPPL from SKIL. APM Terminals, through APM Terminals
Mauritius Ltd, holds 43.01% stake in GPPL.
Details of the Concession Agreement
Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd. (GPPL) signed a 30 years’ concession agreement with a
JV led by Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB; SKIL being the other partner) to build,
construct, operate and maintain Pipavav Port, at Amreli district in Gujarat in Aug-
1992. In 1998, GMB divested its entire stake in GPPL to SKIL. Later in 2005, SKIL
divested its entire stake to APM Terminals led investors.
GPPL is looked upon as one of the most efficient port operators by shipping liners.
Located near the entrance of the Gulf of Khambhat, this port enjoys a location
advantage as the 2 islands act as natural breakwater. This location advantage
helps it in being identified as part of the main maritime trade route, which is
helpful in import and export to USA, Middle East, China and other European
markets.
