Angel Broking is bullish on IRB Infrastructure Developers and has recommended buy rating on the stock with a target of Rs 164 in its October 30, 2012 research report.

“For 2QFY2013, IRB Infrastructure (IRB) reported a modest set of numbers. The company’s revenue came slightly below our expectation, but owing to better-thanexpected performance at the EBITDAM level, earnings were higher than estimates. IRB is looking at both organic and inorganic options for growth with a threshold of 18% equity IRR and intends to allot 20% of consolidated cash flow post debt repayment towards acquisitions. In accordance with its strategy to declare ~20% of post-tax consolidated profit towards dividend, IRB declared an interim dividend of Rs1/share.”

“IRB reported a consolidated revenue growth of 14.9% yoy to Rs845cr against our estimate of Rs900cr. This uptick in revenue was mainly due to improved execution in under construction projects. E&C segment’s revenue grew by 17.8% yoy to Rs622cr and BOT segment witnessed a 7.7% growth to Rs257cr. On the EBITDAM front, IRB’s margin came in at 45.0% a jump of 135bp on a yoy basis, higher than our estimate of 43.3%. Stable input prices led to an EBITDAM of 27.3% (excluding other income) for E&C segment. The interest cost came in at Rs148cr, registering a jump of 4.9% on a yoy basis. At the earnings front, IRB reported a growth of 9.9% to Rs121cr, above our estimate of Rs106cr on account of better-than-expected performance on the EBITDAM front and lower tax rate.”

“IRB has a robust order book of Rs7,466cr (2.9x FY2013E E&C revenue, excluding O&M orders), which lends revenue visibility. Although a slowdown in order awarding by NHAI in road sector has been witnessed in 1HFY2013 IRB expects ordering activity to improve going ahead. The stock trades at FY2013 and FY2014 P/B of 1.2x and 1.1x respectively. We maintain our Buy view on the stock with a target price of Rs164,” says Angel Broking research report.
