Jindal Stainless Q1 PAT more than doubles to Rs 91 crore

Jindal Stainless (JSL NSE -0.97 % ) Q1 PAT more than doubled to Rs 91 crore, driven by strong demand due to
infrastructure NSE 0.83 % spending, railway modernisation and auto sector. Net revenue increased to Rs 3,147 crore, a
growth of 56 per cent over previous corresponding period, the company said in a statement. Earnings before interest
depreciation taxes and amortisation (EBIDTA) for the quarter surged by 50 per cent to Rs 375 crore over same period last
year when finance NSE -1.20 % costs were extraordinarily lower on account of interest refund. A buoyant market for
stainless steel led to a growth of 51 per cent in sales volume during the quarter under review over the same period last
year. Melt production grew by 45 per cent in Q1FY19, as the company ramped up efforts towards debottlenecking and
process balancing to optimise capacity utilization.

Commenting on the performance during the quarter, JSL managing director, Abhyuday Jindal said: “The market outlook is
conducive to propel volume growth. We have huge operating leverage and target to increase our capacity from 0.8 MTPA
to 1.1 MTPA in near future through debottlenecking and process balancing with a minimum cash outlay.”
The company has become eligible for exit from Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme (CDR), on the basis of the improved
financial performance in the last two financial years, he said. The consortium of lenders has already recommended CDR
exit for company and the matter is pending for voting in CDR, Jindal added.

Edelweiss on Jindal Stainless

Jindal Stainless’ (JSL) Q1FY19 standalone EBITDA at Rs 3.8bn (up 50% YoY) was primarily driven by volume jumping 51%
YoY to 217kt. Key highlights: 1) realisation rose 3% YoY to Rs 145K due to higher stainless steel prices; and 2) raw material
cost jumped 19% YoY to Rs 102K/t owing to higher scrap prices. As a result, JSL reported profit at net level for sixth
successive quarter.

Going ahead, management expects robust domestic stainless steel demand led by: 1) spurt in Indian Railways’ stainless
steel coach production and; 2) newly introduced BIS-IV norms for automobiles. We believe that JSL will benefit from the
focus on value-added products and ensuing capacity/production ramp up. At CMP, the stock is trading at 3.7x FY20E
EBITDA. Maintain ‘BUY’ with target price of Rs 100, implying an exit multiple of 5x FY20E EBITDA

Jindal Stainless Jun Qtr net profit jumps to Rs.91cr

Jindal Stainless Ltd today said its standalone net profit more than doubled to Rs 90.85 crore during the quarter ended
June 30, mainly driven by higher sales volume.
The company had clocked a standalone net profit of Rs 41.50 crore in the same period a year ago.
Its total income increased to Rs 3,152.53 crore in the first quarter of this fiscal from Rs 2,203.86 crore in the
corresponding period of the previous fiscal, JSL said in a BSE filing.
In a separate statement, the country's largest stainless steel maker said: "The growth stemmed from expansion in
stainless steel flat product market, mainly driven by infrastructure spending, railway modernisation, and auto segment,
among others. A buoyant market for stainless steel led to higher sales volumes growth of 51 per cent".
JSL MD Abhyuday Jindal said, the company's plant at Jajpur, Odisha, is one of the most modern stainless steel plants in the
world with state-of-the-art facilities.
"We...target to increase our capacity from 0.8 MTPA to 1.1 MTPA in near future through debottlenecking and process
balancing with a minimum cash outlay," he was quoted in the statement.

Jindal Stainless Limited posts 2x jump in Q1 PAT

After registering a robust turnaround in FY18, Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) achieved a strong revenue and sales growth in
Q1FY19, despite being a seasonally low first quarter. The growth stemmed from expansion in stainless steel flat product
market, mainly driven by infrastructure spending, railway modernization, and auto segment, among others. At Rs 91
crore, profit after tax for Q1FY19 more than doubled over corresponding period last year (CPLY). A buoyant market for
stainless steel led to higher sales volumes growth of 51% over CPLY. Melt production grew by 45% in Q1FY19, as the
company ramped up efforts towards debottlenecking and process balancing to optimise capacity utilization. Net revenue
increased to Rs 3,147 crore, a growth of 56% over CPLY. EBIDTA for the quarter surged by 50% over CPLY, reaching Rs 375
crore. In CPLY, finance costs were extraordinarily lower on account of interest refund. Commenting on the performance of
the quarter, Managing Director, JSL, Abhyuday Jindal, said, "Our plant at Jajpur, Odisha, is one of the most modern
stainless steel plants in the world with state-of-the-art facilities. The market outlook is conducive to propel volume
growth. We have huge operating leverage and target to increase our capacity from 0.8 MTPA to 1.1 MTPA in near future
through debottlenecking and process balancing with a minimum cash outlay. The Company has become eligible for exit
from Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme (CDR), basis the superior financial performance for the last two financial
years. The consortium of lenders has already recommended CDR exit for Company and the matter is pending for voting in
CDR forum." The Indian stainless steel market, however, continued to deal with a heavy flow of subsidised imports. Even
after Indian government imposed countervailing duty (CVD) in September last year on imports of stainless steel from
China, the duty is being circumvented as Chinese material is now being routed through other free-trade agreement (FTA)
countries. In light of several developed countries across the globe undertaking strong measures to safeguard their
domestic manufacturing industries, it is high time that the Indian government also took such bold measures to protect the
interests of local manufacturers. This includes complete staunching of CVD circumvention, and revisiting the very purpose
of existing FTAs creating huge trade imbalances. The Indian stainless steel industry has also sought government's support
in removal of 2.5% import duty on ferro-nickel and stainless steel scrap, both of which are not available domestically.

The Indian stainless steel market, however, continued to deal with a heavy flow of subsidised imports. Even after Indian
government imposed countervailing duty (CVD) in September last year on imports of stainless steel from China, the duty
is being circumvented as Chinese material is now being routed through other free-trade agreement (FTA) countries. In
light of several developed countries across the globe undertaking strong measures to safeguard their domestic
manufacturing industries, it is high time that the Indian government also took such bold measures to protect the interests
of local manufacturers. This includes complete staunching of CVD circumvention, and revisiting the very purpose of
existing FTAs creating huge trade imbalances. The Indian stainless steel industry has also sought government’s support in
removal of 2.5% import duty on ferro-nickel and stainless steel scrap, both of which are not available domestically. These
would be the pre-requisites for the domestic industry to realize its full potential under the Make in India initiative of the
government, and get a level playing field with foreign competitors.
On a sequential basis also, JSL registered a marginal dip in sales (-1%) and EBIDTA (-3%), despite the first quarter of the FY
witnessing a traditional slack combined with a steep increase in raw material prices and consumables such as nickel and
electrodes. Interest cost increased on account of an exceptional interest credit of Rs 17 crores in Q4FY18 and short term
increase in working capital utilisation. On a sequential basis, the difference in PAT can be ascribed to a combination of
these factors.
Performance of JSL’s subsidiaries continued the uptrend. Iber Jindal Spain and PTJSI, Indonesia registered a CPLY growth
of 32% and 6% in net revenue respectively, during the quarter. The company is poised to witness stainless steel demand
growth from Indian Railways, as the latter is set to enhance stainless steel coach production. Newly introduced BS-VI
norms for automobile are also expected to boost stainless steel consumption.

Jindal Stainless Limited consolidates its position, posts 2x jump in Q1 PAT

Q1 FY 19 key highlights
                                                                 Standalone (in Rs crore)
                          Particulars       Q1 FY 18-19        Q1 FY17-18          Growth
                          PAT               91                 41                 119%
                          Net Revenue       3,147              2,015              56%

After registering a robust turnaround in FY18, Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) achieved a strong revenue and sales growth in
Q1FY19, despite being a seasonally low first quarter. The growth stemmed from expansion in stainless steel flat product
market, mainly driven by infrastructure spending, railway modernization, and auto segment, among others. At Rs 91
crore, profit after tax for Q1FY19 more than doubled over corresponding period last year (CPLY). A buoyant market for
stainless steel led to higher sales volumes growth of 51% over CPLY.
Melt production grew by 45% in Q1FY19, as the company ramped up efforts towards debottlenecking and process
balancing to optimise capacity utilization. Net revenue increased to Rs 3,147 crore, a growth of 56% over CPLY. EBIDTA for
the quarter surged by 50% over CPLY, reaching Rs 375 crore. In CPLY, finance costs were extraordinarily lower on account
of interest refund.
Commenting on the performance of the quarter, Managing Director, JSL, Abhyuday Jindal, said, “Our plant at Jajpur,
Odisha, is one of the most modern stainless steel plants in the world with state-of-the-art facilities. The market outlook is
conducive to propel volume growth. We have huge operating leverage and target to increase our capacity from 0.8 MTPA
to 1.1 MTPA in near future through debottlenecking and process balancing with a minimum cash outlay. The Company has
become eligible for exit from Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme (CDR), basis the superior financial performance for
the last two financial years. The consortium of lenders has already recommended CDR exit for Company and the matter is
pending for voting in CDR forum.”
