Revenues grow 26.6% yoy
VaTech Wabag reported a 26.6% yoy increase in sales to `371cr in 3QFY2016.
Revenue growth was mainly on account of strong execution seen across the AP
Genco project (has contributed `280cr to the top-line for 9MFY2016).

EBITDA margin declines yoy
Wabag reported an 11.7% yoy increase in EBITDA to `37cr while the EBITDA
margin declined 132bp yoy to 9.9%, in 3QFY2016. The compression in the
EBITDA margin is owing to a sharp increase in other expenses to `22cr (vs `5cr in
3QFY2015). Such increase in other expenses is attributable to higher doubtful
debts provisioning of `12cr, which is in-line with the company’s internal policy of
ageing debtors.

PAT margin down yoy
In-line with the EBITDA margin, the PAT margin declined from 6.0% in 3QFY2015
to 5.6% in 3QFY2016. This is in spite of a 9.5% decline in yoy depreciation
expenses (to `3cr) and a lower tax rate (at 32.7%).

VA Tech Wabag | 3QFY2016 Result Update
Update on subsidiaries’ performance
The company’s International subsidiaries’ revenues declined 20.8% on a yoy basis
to `258cr which is attributable to (1) Euro depreciation (over 10%), and (2) some
of the projects being at early stages of execution and not contributing to revenues
(inclusive of Nepal based projects), and (3) lower revenue booking from Al Gubrah
project (is nearing completion).
A poor operating performance coupled with higher interest expenses (at `5.5cr) led to
international business losses. Surge in yoy interest expenses is on account of Ujams
BOOT project, Namibia.
`276cr of Order Inflows in 3QFY2016
Wabag reported `276cr of order wins in 3QFY2016, which is down 59% yoy.
Wabag reported a key order win from Sanliurfa WWTP, Turkey. The Management
attributed client side delays on project finalization in domestic markets as the
key reason for decline in yoy order inflows. For 9MFY2016 Wabag reported
~130% yoy increase in order inflows to `3,356cr.

Order book as of 3QFY2016-end stood at `7,952cr, reflecting Order book / last
twelve month (LTM) sales ratio of 3.1x.
Management Guidance & Concall Updates
For FY2016, the company’s Management maintained its order inflow guidance of
`3,500-3,700cr (up 18-24% yoy). Considering Wabag having won `680cr of
Polghawella Water Supply scheme in Sri Lanka in 4QFY2016, and with `3,356cr
of order inflows for 9MFY2016, we believe that the company has a fair chance to
attain its order inflow guidance for FY2016.
Wabag’s Management has given a revenue guidance of `2,800-3,000cr (up 15-
24%) for FY2016.
The Management highlighted that it expects to maintain FY2016 EBITDA margins
on the lines of ~8.7%, as reported in FY2015. This in our view is a challenging
task, given that Wabag will have to report 12.6% margin in 4QFY2016 vs 5.9%
reported in 9MFY2016.

Investment arguments
Strong market positioning: Wabag in our view has a strong portfolio of offerings in
the water treatment/ waste water/ desalination space. Unlike most of the domestic
EPC players, Wabag has a differentiated business model, given its in-house
technology. Strong technological know-how, coupled with large talent positions it
to successfully execute complex water projects.
Asset-light business model drives RoEs: Wabag pursues an asset-light business
model. Its strategy of keeping core areas of work in-house and outsourcing the
non-critical, low-value work helps it maintain high RoEs. Also, it takes on large
volume projects, thereby enabling it to generate high RoEs.
India & Emerging markets hold huge opportunity: India has low per capita water
supply vis-a-vis developed nations, indicating huge growth potential for the
company’s business. Also, with rising stringency in norms for waste water
treatment, scope for Wabag is huge, given that ~30% of industrial waste water is
not treated. Wabag has made strong in-roads in emerging markets like
Philippines, China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Spain and Turkey.
Risks & Concerns
Delays in revival of international business could impact our margin
assumptions.
Any significant loss of market share could be a risk to our assumptions.
Execution delays in the domestic markets could be a risk to our assumptions.
Valuation
The stock trades at FY2017E/2018E P/E multiple of 26.1x/20.7x, which continues
to be at the higher end of the historical band. On considering the 25% correction
in the stock price in the last 3 months period, valuations in our view still do not
factor in the muted order inflow environment, modest earnings growth, and
stretched working capital cycle. We assign a 20.0x P/E multiple to our FY2017E
EPS of `25 to arrive at a price target of `492. Given the limited upside potential,
we recommend Neutral rating on the stock.
