Expensive valuation
Company background: The government of India is divesting 10% stake in Nalco via an OFS at `40/share (a 9.6% discount to its closing price as on March 14, 2013). Nalco, a Navratna company, is Indias third largest aluminium producer. The company has Asia's largest integrated aluminium complex. The company engages into alumina refining (capacity 2.1mn tonnes), aluminium smelting (capacity - 0.7mn tonnes) and power generation (capacity - 1,200MW). The company has a captive bauxite mine at Panchpatmalli with a mining capacity of 6.3mn tonnes p.a. The company also sells excess power. Nalco exports its products to South East Asia, Far East, Indian subcontinent, Gulf, China and the U.S.

Aluminium business continues to make losses: At current aluminium price of US$2,000-2,100/tonne, we expect Nalco to make losses on its Aluminium business. Moreover, prices of key inputs such as coal, caustic soda, CP coke, aluminium fluoride etc continue to remain high. Hence, we expect Nalco to operate its aluminium smelters at lower utilization levels during FY2013-14. Coal supply issues to continue: Nalco has been facing coal supply issues,
which disrupted its operations in the past few quarters. The company sources its annual coal requirement from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd., but the supply is not evenly distributed. In our view, any disturbance in coal supply would increase the companys dependence on imported or external coal (which is very expensive compared to linkage coal), thereby negatively affecting its margins.

No clarity on timelines for production from Utkal coal block: Nalco has
been allotted Utkal-E coal block which has estimated reserves of 70mn tonnes. Currently, there is no clarity on land acquisition for coal block. Although Nalco expects to commence production from this mine by end of CY2013, our recent experience suggests that it could take a much longer time to acquire land and sign the mining lease with the state government.

22.8

Outlook and valuation: Nalcos earnings over the past 6-8 quarters have remained very volatile. Although Nalco has captive bauxite mines, the cost of aluminium production remains very high on account of high power costs. Further, there is lack of clarity over the companys future expansion plans. At the OFS price, Nalco is trading at 7.4x FY2013E and 5.2x FY2014E EV/EBITDA, which is at a significant premium compared to its peers. Hence, we recommend investors to avoid subscribing to Nalco OFS.

Limited growth visibility


There is little clarity on Nalcos proposed expansion plans, as they are in various stages of financial closure and significant progress is yet to be made.
