For 2QFY2011, Petronet LNG’s (Petronet) performance was marginally lower
than our expectation on the top line front, while it was better than expected on the
EBITDA and bottom-line fronts. The company reported a 10.2% yoy decline in
revenue to `3,058cr (`3,407cr), which was lower than our expectation of
`3,072cr on account of lower-than-expected volumes of 102.7TBTUs. Volume
processed during the quarter stood at 99.8TBUs, registering a 12.4% yoy decline
and 4.9% qoq growth. Gross profit grew by 5.3% yoy to `303cr (`288cr) and was
lower than our expectation of `310cr. We recommend Neutral on the stock.
Performance led by lower opex and higher other income: During 2QFY2011, net
re-gasification margins rose by 20% yoy to `30.4/mmbtu (`25.3/mmbtu) because
of absence of marketing loss on spot volumes (as in 2QFY2010) and lower
internal consumption. Other operating expenditure, which fell by 12.8% yoy to
`26.1cr (`29.9cr), and higher-than-expected other income helped Petronet to
report better bottom-line performance. The bottom line registered an 8.7% yoy
growth to `131cr (`121cr) against our expectation of `119cr.
Outlook and valuation: We have marginally revised our EPS estimates for
FY2011E and FY2012E to `6.8 (up 7.7%) and `8.5 (up 2.4%), respectively,
adjusting for higher operating efficiencies (lower other expenditure) and stronger
rupee. However, on the valuation front, after the recent surge in the stock price,
we believe valuations have captured in all the business positives. Upsides from the
current levels will be dependent on the tie-up of additional volume for the
unutilised capacity. Valuation at 13.9x FY2012E EPS is no more demanding at the
current juncture. Hence, we downgrade the stock from Accumulate to Neutral.
We assign a DCF-based fair value of `121/share for the stock.

Volume and top line down yoy: For 2QFY2011, Petronet’s R-LNG volumes
declined by 12.4% yoy mainly on account of termination of RGPPL contract in
September 2009 (which was present in 2QFY2010). Volumes processed during the
quarter stood at 99.8TBTU and was marginally lower than our expectation of
102.7TBTUs. Tolling volumes during the quarter stood flat at 0.3TBTU as against
0.4TBTU registered in 2QFY2010. Contractual volumes were higher on a yoy basis
at 89.7TBTUs (62TBTUs) on account of commissioning of additional 2.5MMTPA of
gas supplies from Qatar in January 2010. Spot volumes stood at 9.8TBTU against
51.5TBTU (including RGPPL volumes) registered in 2QFY2010. However, on a qoq
basis, volumes increased by 4.9% (95.1TBTU in 4QFY2010) on account of nil spot
volumes in 1QFY2011, despite lower tolling volumes during the quarter. On the
revenue front, the company reported a 10.2% yoy decline in revenue to `3,058cr
(`3,407cr), which was lower than our expectation of `3,072cr. Realisation during
the quarter registered 2.4% yoy growth on account of increased prices of LNG,
which was sourced from Rasgas.

Better operating performance led by higher regas margins and lower other exp.:
Net re-gasification margins during the quarter rose by 20% yoy to `30.4/mmbtu
(`25.3/mmbtu) and were in line with our expectation on account of absence of
marketing loss on spot volumes (as in 2QFY2010) and lower internal
consumption. Recalibration of turbines resulted in lower internal consumption,
which translated into higher operational efficiency. However, net re-gasification
margins declined marginally on a qoq basis. On tolling volumes (0.3TBTU), the
company’s tolling margins stood at `32.8/mmbtu during the quarter. Gross profit
increased by 5.3% yoy to `303cr (`288cr) and was lower than our expectation of
`310cr on account of lower-than-expected volumes. OPM expanded by 144bp yoy
to 8.9% (7.4%), resulting in EBITDA/mmbtu of `27.2 (`22.3) mainly on account of
lower other operating expenditure, which stood at `26.1cr (`29.9cr). On a
sequential basis also, EBITDA/mmbtu increased to `27.2 (`26.0). Consequently,
EBITDA registered a 7.1% yoy increase to `272cr (`254cr).

Depreciation cost increases, interest cost declines: Depreciation cost during
2QFY2011 increased by 8.3% yoy to `47cr (`43cr) due to capitalisation of the
Dahej terminal. However, interest expenditure declined by 3.1% yoy to
`49.5cr (`51.1cr).
PAT increases 8.7% yoy: During the quarter, Petronet witnessed better-than-
expected bottom-line performance, despite lower-than-expected volumes.
PAT registered an increase of 8.7% yoy to `131cr (`111cr) and was higher than
our expectation of `119cr. Growth was led by better operating performance due to
lower other expenditure and higher-than-expected other income. Other income
during the quarter stood flat yoy at `19cr, against our expectation of `12cr.
However, the same increased on a sequential basis by 47.6% to `19cr (`13cr).
Other income was higher as it included `9cr due to forex gains.

Investment arguments
LNG prices to remain subdued: One of the concerns pertaining to viability of the
LNG import model in the country was the high cost associated with imports.
However, we expect shale gas to transform the global supply and price outlook for
natural gas and competing energy options. Shale gas, which accounted for only
1% of US natural gas supply in 2000, has grown to 20% today; and by 2035, it
could be 50%. Natural gas shale boom in the US has more than doubled the
discovered gas resources and can supply more than the century’s consumption at
the current rate. Newer technologies such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal
drilling have opened up vast new resources of natural gas from shale formation.
Thus, shale gas could act as a competitive alternative to LNG, which in turn is
likely to result in de-coupling of the global LNG and global crude oil markets.
De-coupling is likely to result in the reduction of slope of LNG contracts to crude oil
prices. Shale gas and upcoming LNG capacities would reduce the price spikes for
natural gas, which would benefit major gas consumers such as power generation
companies.
LNG import model viable going ahead: We believe LNG is likely to be a key
source of gas supplies in the medium term on account of strong gas demand in
the country. Hence, Petronet is a proxy play on the increasing gap between natural
gas supplies and demand in the country. The delay in KG basin gas ramp-up has
further helped the matters. Moreover, we expect domestic gas demand estimates
to be revised upwards on account of increasing pipeline connectivity to various
regions. Moreover, the government is making efforts to maintain long-term
viability of LNG in the overall gas mix of the country. Government could act on the
Mercados Energy Markets International report regarding uniform domestic gas
pricing. This move, if implemented, is likely to increase marketability of R-LNG in
the country.

Outlook and valuation
For 2QFY2011, Petronet reported better-than-expected performance. Going
ahead, we believe the company will continue to deliver better set of numbers on
account of increased LNG imports, as concerns over the limited pipeline capacity
of GAIL are expected to fade out and demand for LNG is likely to grow. Capacity
of Petronet’s Dahej terminal stands at 11.5MMTPA. However, it has linkages of
7.5MMTPA for the same. Thus, if the untied capacity of 4.0MMTPA (35% of
installed capacity) is sourced, it will likely reduce the untied linkages of the
company and prove to be a strong re-rating trigger for the stock.
On the tariff front, we do not see significant risks emerging in the near future due
to absence of regulatory interference. Nonetheless, we do not expect the trend of
annual escalation to continue. In fact, we have assumed a freeze on regasification
margins from CY2012E on account of repricing of LNG, following the monthly
alignment with JCC prices. Thus, there could be upsides to our estimates if the
annual hike in the regasification margins continues beyond the forecast period.
We have marginally revised our EPS estimates for FY2011E and FY2012E to `6.8
(up 7.7%) and `8.5 (up 2.4%), respectively, adjusting for higher operating
efficiencies (lower other expenditure) and stronger rupee. However, on the
valuation front, after the recent surge in the stock price, we believe valuations have
captured in all the business positives. Upsides from the current levels will be
dependent on the tie-up of additional volume for the unutilised capacity. Valuation
at 13.9x FY2012E EPS is no more demanding at the current juncture. Hence, we
downgrade the stock from Accumulate to Neutral. We assign a DCF-based fair
value of `121/share for the stock.
