ICICI Securities research report on ACC
ACC’s Q1CY22 EBITDA of Rs6.35bn (down 26% YoY) was broadly in-line with our / consensus estimates. Total cost/te continued its upward trajectory as it rose 1.6% QoQ and 13% YoY primarily due to higher fuel prices, while blended realisations were up 2.7% QoQ and 5.0% YoY, resulting in blended EBITDA/te increasing 12% QoQ but declining 24% YoY to Rs812/te (I-Sec: Rs779/te). Volumes including clinker sales were down 2% YoY and up 2% QoQ at 7.8mnte.
Outlook
Factoring in higher cost escalations, we cut our CY22E-CY23E EBITDA by 16-3% and reduce our target price to Rs2,615/sh (earlier: Rs2,710/sh) based on 11x Mar’24E EV/E. Maintain BUY. Key risks: Lower demand/prices and sharp cost escalations.
