Navbharat Ferro Alloys Ltd.
NSE NAVBARFERO
Navbharat Ferro Alloys Ltd. has three main business divisions:
(a) Ferro Alloys (FA) contributes 57% of sales - consist of two plants - one in Andhra Pradesh (AP) producing manganese alloys - 125,000 TPA capacity & other in Orissa producing ferro chrome - 75000 TPA capacity. FAs are used in stainless steel making. Company supplies FA to steel mills like TISCO, JSW Steel, Jindal Stainless, Essar, SAIL, Mukand, etc. NBFL also exports to leading global players like Nucor Steel, USA, Usinor-EEC, Nippon Steel, Kawasho and
Hitachi, Japan, Posco, Korea, etc. It contributed a topline of Rs.336.29 crore and bottomline of Rs. -9.05 crore during 2005-06 and had a capital employed of Rs. 206.77 crore as on 31/3/2006.
(b) Power (26% of sales), key input in FA production (50% of production costs). Company has backward integrated into power generation. It has 82 mw coal based captive power plant (CPP) at AP and 30 mw CPP at Orissa. Captive power generation not only makes company self-reliant on power but also enables it to sell surplus power (at present ~ 50 mw) to APTRANSCO and in turn earn tax-free income on power sale. Company earns decent PBIT% of ~ 40% (+) in this business, as it is competitive producer of power.
It contributed a topline of Rs.150.99 crore and bottomline of Rs. 69.13 crore during 2005-06 and had a capital employed of Rs. 167.5 crore as on 31/3/2006. After providing for the inter division revenue the net topline was Rs 36.78 crore only.
(c) Sugar (17% of Revenues) located in AP. Company has capacity of 3,500 tons crushed per day (TCD), with 6 mn litre p.a. distillery and 9 mw of co-generation plant. It contributed a topline of Rs.102.70 crore and bottomline of Rs. 18.36 crore during 2005-06 and had a capital employed of Rs. 77.10 crore as on 31/3/2006.
NBFL is looking at further backward integration into chrome ores. It
has obtained mining license (on 30-year lease) for chrome ore in
Orissa. It is 85 acres of mining area with substantial reserves.
Main benefits of owing chrome mining rights are control over supply,
lower input cost, can increase capacity of FA, whenever required,
etc. However, dispute is going on against this and case has gone to
Supreme Court. Judgement is expected in next 6 months. If judgement
comes in favour of company, it will have positive impact on its
bottomline.
Updates from nse site
Going ahead, NBFL is set to emerge as a power and infrastructure company with additional contribution coming from sugar and ferrochrome businesses.
The expansion of the Power Plant at Paloncha,A.P. from 82 MW to 114 MW is scheduled to be completed in 2007-08.
Establishment of 64MW coal based Power Plant in Orissa to be implemented in a period of two years (in addition to the existing 30MW Power Plant in Orissa).
to set up a new integrated sugar facility at Shanti Ashramam (H), Venkatanagaram Village, Prathipadu Mandal in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh by the year 2008-09 of 2500TCD.
As against current enterprise value of ~ Rs. 755 crore (market capitalization of Rs. 575 crore (+) & borrowing of Rs. 180 crore ), intrinsic value of its business works out to be ~ Rs. 825 crore
sugar - Rs. 80 crore,
land development - Rs. 20 crore,
112 mw power - Rs. 245crore,
FA - Rs. 260 crore and
investment in pipeline Rs 130 crore (power) and Rs. 90Crore (sugar)
Thus, company's share is available very cheap - at almost half of its intrinsic value.
MC 86*13.36/2
Company declared dividend of Rs. 2/- per share (Rs. 2/- paid up)
in FY 2005. At CMP, dividend yield works out to be ~4%.
At CMP of 86 , share is trading at 5.4 times FY 2006-07 EPS of Rs.
15.9. In view of bright business outlook, buying the share at current
market price.
The share has shed some 30% from 135 during last one month in june 2006
hence cautious and only long term investment is advised at a targe of
Rs 120
I hold 20 share @91
