YES Securities' research report on ACC
ACC Ltd (ACC) reported resilient result sequentially with volume growth of +3% and NSR up by +1% translates in revenue growth of 5%. As total cost remained flat sequentially, EBITDA margin improved to 14.3% (+117 bps) v/s YSEC 13.3% in Q1CY22. ACC’s higher capacity utilization rate (+90%) due to slower capacity addition than industry resulted in stagnant volumes and market/capacity share loss. Recently, ACC lined up capacity addition that would provide production headroom to grow its volume from CY22E onwards. Therefore, we expect a volume growth of 8% in both CY22/23E. Due to the elevated fuel & diesel price, we have lowered our EBITDA/PAT estimate by 19/26% for CY22E while kept unchanged for CY23E envisaging cost normalization. Additionally, ACC also eyeing to improve its operating efficiency by scaling up WHRS capacity to 75 MW.
Outlook
At CMP, stock is trading at 11/8x of EV/EBITDA on CY22/23E. Due to recent steep correction and TP of Rs2,400 at 10x EV/EBITDA on the CY23E estimate, we recommend ‘BUY’ (earlier ADD).
