We are building in capex of INR3bn for FY14F, in line with management’s expectations

Notes

We expect the company to deleverage the balance sheet over FY13-14F by sales of assets and fresh issue of equity

We lower our 12-month TP on Fortis to INR124 and upgrade the stock to Buy. Our positive stance on the stock is driven by: a) consolidation of the business with steady and gradual improvement in financials and b) stock underperformance over the last three years, resulting in a valuation discount to its peers, in our view. In our opinion, Fortis’ business strategy has made a complete U-turn. From being very aggressive on acquisitions, management now appears focused on consolidating businesses and pursuing an asset light model. As of FY13F, 84% of the consolidated sales accrue from assets which have been acquired over the last eight years. The international acquisition strategy pursued by management in FY12 led to net debt-to-equity rising to 1.98x with EBITDA-to-interest ratio of 1.36x. In FY13F, we expect Fortis to reduce its balance sheet leverage through: a) hiving off the key Indian Hospital Infrastructure into Religare Health Trust (RHT) and thus moving into a predominantly asset light model and b) selling a stake in its Diagnostic business Super Religare Laboratories (SRL) to private equity. We estimate net debt-to-equity to be reduced to 0.94x by end FY13F. In FY14F, we expect Fortis to further deleverage its balance sheet by: a) selling a stake in Dental Corp; b) fresh issue of shares to comply with the SEBI’s regulation of promoter stake being at a maximum of 75% by June 2013; and c) issuing fresh shares and convertibles to meet capital expenditure and other expenses. We estimate debt-equity ratio of 0.38x by end-FY14F.

We forecast a steady revenue CAGR at 17.6% over FY13-15F ex Dental Corp (DC). We exclude DC as Fortis would sell its stake in the entity in Q1FY14, as per management. Historically, DC was a high margin business for Fortis with EBITDA margin at 18%. Thus, we estimate that the exclusion of DC would bring down Fortis’ consolidated margins in the near term but we expect improvement over time on ARPOB (average revenue per occupied bed) improvement, higher capacity utilisation and leverage on net rental paid to RHT. Currently ROE is low at 1-3% (FY14-15F), but should improve as asset turnover increases; we expect average incremental ROE over next five years at ~33%.

We value Fortis based on discounted cash flows (DCF) to arrive at our 12-month target price of INR124. We believe Fortis’ current earnings and profitability are suppressed and consequently, multiple based valuations on near-term earnings are likely to fail to appropriately capture the long-term improvement that we anticipate. On a lower base, we expect strong growth in EBITDA from FY15F onwards as net service fee grows at a slower pace compared to operational EBITDA and Fortis starts to receive dividend income from RHT. As well, we expect contributions from the newly commissioned facilities to improve. We forecast FY14-17F EBITDA CAGR of 24%. We estimate FY17F net earnings at INR3.06bn vs. INR687m in FY14F. We are conservative in our valuation to the extent that we have assumed no leverage by the terminal year.

Fortis is currently trading at 33x FY15F P/E (FY15F EPS of INR3.09) at a significant premium to its peers. With a high asset base and associated operating leverage, we expect Fortis’ earnings growth to be higher vs. its peers beyond the explicit forecast period. In our opinion, comparison on an EV/EBITDA basis is more appropriate. On an EV/EBITDA basis, Fortis trades in line with Apollo (APHS IN, Buy) and also at a 13% discount to its regional peers.

Over the last three years the stock has corrected 37% vs. +83% for Apollo. As indicated in Fig. 3, on a P/B basis the stock has corrected from 3x in FY10 to 0.82x in FY13F. Over the same period, the P/B multiple for peers has expanded with average P/B multiple of 5.1x currently. We expect investors’ confidence in Fortis to rise with stability in the business accompanied by gradual improvement in the financials. Our 12-month target price implies a P/B of 1.1x on FY14F.

We set 12-month TP at INR 124, based on DCF We value Fortis based on discounted cash flows (DCF). We believe Fortis’ current earnings and profitability are suppressed and consequently, multiple-based valuations on near-term earnings are likely to fail to appropriately capture the long-term improvement that we expect. We think Fortis’ near-term earnings are suppressed owing to management’s aggressive acquisitions and commissioning of large hospitals in Gurgaon, Ludhiana and Chennai. The company managed to reduce debt by transferring some of its assets to RHT (Religare Health Trust). However, as detailed later in the report, we believe the financial impact is marginal in the near term as Fortis is committed to a high service fee payout to the Trust. On a lower base, we estimate strong growth in EBITDA from FY15F onwards as net service fee expands at a slower pace compared to operational EBITDA and Fortis starts to receive dividend income from RHT. In addition, we expect contributions from the newly commissioned facilities to improve. We estimate FY14-17F EBITDA CAGR of 24%. We forecast FY17F net earnings at INR3.06bn vs. INR687m in FY14F.

Key assumptions of our long-term DCF model include:

• We assume contribution from only five greenfield hospitals that are planned by Fortis and RHT at this stage. The hospitals that we have included in our model are Gurgaon, Ludhiana I (currently under Fortis), Ludhiana II (under RHT), Arcot Road Chennai (brownfield), and Hyderabad (under RHT). In addition, we also consider expansion in already operational hospitals. We estimate the number of operating beds will increase from 3,386 in FY13 to 6,545 in FY21.

• We assume the blended EBITDA margin for India Hospital business to rise from 14.3% in FY13F to 19.3% in FY21F.

• We assume the diagnostic business to maintain mid-high teen growth over FY13-FY20F. Being the largest and most established player in an underpenetrated market, we expect sustainable growth over the long term.

• We remain conservative on our international business forecast at 4% revenue CAGR over the long term.

• Tax rate assumed at 30% over the long term.

• Capex assumed is related to capacity expansions and maintenance capex. We expect capex intensity to be much lower vs the asset heavy model previously. Fortis will be investing primarily in equipment going forward, in our view.

• We use cost of equity of 13%. (Risk free rate of 8%, Beta of 1 and risk premium of 5.0).

• Terminal growth rate of 5%.

• Cash flows are discounted back to FY14F.

We arrive at a target price of INR124, presenting a potential upside of 23%. We are conservative in our valuations to the extent that we have assumed no leverage by the terminal year.

Source: Bloomberg consensus for Not Rated (NR) stocks, Nomura estimates. Share prices are as of 30 April 2013.

Fortis currently trades at 33x FY15F P/E (FY15F EPS of INR3.09) at a significant premium to its peers. With a high asset base and associated operating leverage, we expect Fortis’ earnings growth to be higher vs peers beyond the explicit forecast period. We believe comparison on an EV/EBITDA basis is more appropriate. On EV/EBITDA Fortis trades in line with Apollo and also at a 13% discount to its regional peers.

Over the last three years the stock has corrected 37% vs +83% for Apollo. As indicated below, on a P/B basis Fortis has corrected from 3x in FY10 to 0.82x in FY13F. Over the same period, the P/B multiple for its peers has expanded.

Source: Bloomberg, Nomura estimates

In our opinion, the correction in the Fortis’ share price is due to higher leverage, change in management’s business strategy and corporate restructuring, which created greater uncertainty. Fortis’ financials and business details are addressed later in the report. We expect investors’ confidence to rise with stability in Fortis’ business, accompanied by gradual improvement in the company’s financials.

Our TP implies a P/B of 1.1x on FY14F. ROE is low at ~3% (FY15F). We expect Fortis to be on a consolidation mode and margins and return ratios to increase with growth. Over the next five years, we estimate average incremental RoE to be ~33%.

Financials We expect steady revenue CAGR at 17.6% over FY13-15F for Fortis, ex Dental Corp. We exclude DC as the company would sell its stake in the entity in Q1FY14, as per management. DC was a high margin business with 9MFY13 EBITDA margin at ~18%. Thus, exclusion of DC would bring down consolidated margins in the near term. We project EBITDA margin to decline to 8.7% in FY14F vs 11.4% in FY13F. Margin compression is also, to an extent, driven by commissioning of new hospitals in FY14F, in our view. However, we expect margins to improve from FY14F levels on higher utilisation of newly commissioned facilities and dividend income from RHT. We note that Fortis will not receive any dividend from RHT until FY14, as per the RHT listing prospectus. We estimate FY16F EBITDA margin to retrace back to 11%. ROE is low currently at 1-3% (FY14-15F), but should improve as asset turnover increases; we forecast average incremental ROE over next five years at ~33%. Based on our calculations, balance sheet leverage should come down substantially by end-FY14F. Net debt-to-equity, which was at 1.98x in FY12, should come down to 0.38x by FY14F on account of: a) creation and listing of RHT, a healthcare trust which now holds most of the Indian hospital business’ assets; b) stake sale in SRL to private equity; c) fresh equity issuance to meet the SEBI requirement of the maximum promoter stake; and d) sell-off of stake in Dental Corp.

Revenue outlook: FY13-15F CAGR of 17.6% ex DC We classify revenue streams into a) India Hospital Business; b) International Business ex Dental Corp; c) Dental Corp and d) Diagnostics. Fortis has announced sale of its entire stake in Dental Corp and the entity is unlikely to contribute beyond Q1FY14F. As indicated below, the India Hospital segment should remain as Fortis’ key growth driver.

Key revenue drivers Fortis’ revenue growth is driven largely by its Indian hospital business. We expect the hospital business to register a FY13-15F CAGR of 21.5%. Excluding Fortis’ pipeline projects (Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ludhiana Phase I and II), we expect the India hospital business to expand at a CAGR of 15.6% over the same period. Revenue and EBITDAC (EBITDA before payment of fees to RHT) contributions from these new facilities are estimated at 5.2% and 2.7%, respectively, of consolidated FY15F. Growth in the hospital business is also likely to be led by improvement in ARPOB.

• We expect SRL to register revenue FY13E-15F CAGR of 17.9%. We believe growth in SRL will be driven by increasing utilization levels and addition of pathlabs.

• Growth in the international business ex-DC is likely to be largely driven by growth in sales of Hoan My.

Margins should improve from FY15F We define EBITDA and EBITDAC margins separately. EBITDAC is EBITDA before the impact of net rent paid to RHT. Net rent is the rent paid net of costs transferred to RHT and dividend income gained from RHT. EBITDA is post net payments made to RHT.

We believe Fortis’ EBITDAC margin is currently suppressed at 13.5% (FY13F). Based on our observations the lower margins are on account of lower ARPOB, the newly

We note that Fortis’ hospital business margin is almost ~300bps lower than that of Apollo. We note that Apollo in its reported financials deducted doctors’ fees from revenue whereas Fortis shows it as a cost. For the purpose of this comparison we have made requisite adjustments in Apollo’s margin (assuming 22% of Apollo’s revenues as doctors’ fees). We believe the lower margin is primarily due to relatively lower ARPOB (including doctors’ fees) which we believe is a function of case mix.

We expect Fortis Hospital business EBITDA margin to improve as case mix improves. For instance, we expect higher contribution from high margin segments like Orthopaedics and Oncology.

Fig. 12: Specialty revenue split (3QFY13) Lower contribution from low margin cardiac segment

Source: Company data, Nomura research

The improvement in margins should also led by improved profitability of newly commissioned facilities, eg, Gurgaon and higher utilisation at SRL.

We estimate that for SRL, margins would expand from 10% in FY12 to 17% in FY15F led by better utilisation. As per Fortis, utilisation of the labs is low at ~35%. In our longer-term projections, we are building in a peak EBITDA margin of 20% for SRL from FY18F onwards. As per management, the diagnostic business could reach peak margins of 25%. Compared to international peers, EBITDA margins for SRL are much lower despite

lower employee costs. Thus, with increased volumes we expect overheads (particularly lease rental) to be absorbed leading to expansion in margins.

Overall, we estimate Fortis’ EBITDAC margin to improve by 174bps in FY15F over FY13F. The net rent paid as percentage of revenue should decline over a period of time resulting in improvement in EBITDA margins. The net rent paid out increases in FY15 as there is a step jump in fees to be paid to RHT for the Gurgaon clinical establishment. Fig. 14: EBITDA and EBITDAC margins

Decline in leverage Post acquisition of the international entity, net debt had increased to INR64bn as of end-FY12, leading to net debt-to-equity to rise to 1.98x.

Fig. 15: Increase in debt levels in FY12 (INR mn) The international acquisition contributed significantly to increase in net debt In FY12

Source: Company data, Nomura research

In our view, debt is likely to reduce substantially by end-FY14F on account of: a) stake sale and listing of RHT; b) selling its stake in Dental Corp; c) reducing promoter stake by fresh issue of shares and d) stake sale in SRL.

Fortis realised INR21.7bn from dilution in RHT and INR14.8bn from divestment in Dental Corp. Further, Dental Corp has debt of INR7.5bn on its balance sheet, which will be transferred to the acquirer on divestment, which is expected by the company to be consummated by 1QFY14.

Additional equity issuance to comply with SEBI requirements: The promoter group currently owns 81.5% of the company. As per the SEBI guidelines, the promoters have to bring down their stake to below 75% by June 2013. To comply with the requirements, the company has announced plans to issue 35-45mn fresh equity shares. We are penciling-in issue of 35mn shares at the CMP of ~INR100/share, resulting in cash inflow of INR3.5bn. Further, the company also announced plans to issue up to 28.6mn equity shares to IFC Washington to raise up to USD45mn and issue FCCB worth USD55mn. In our model, we are building in an issue of 24.8mn shares to IFC at the CMP of ~INR100/sh, which would enable Fortis to raise USD45mn.

As a result of these transactions, we estimate that net debt-to-equity should come down to 0.38x by end-FY14F.

Assessing the interest burden

We believe the creation of RHT was only a marginal incremental positive for Fortis. As we highlight below, the impact would be approximately INR214mn for FY14F which is ~1% of the money raised through RHT. Fig. 17: Impact of RHT stake sale on Fortis’ P&L

Source: Nomura estimates

Though RHT is a marginal incremental positive, we think redemption of FCCB and preference share should put upward pressure on interest costs. No interest expense is provided for in the P&L for the outstanding FCCB of USD100mn, which is due for repayment in May 2015. Since the FCCB is out of money (conversion price is INR167/sh), we do not anticipate conversion. The FCCB carries a YTM of 5.54%. We estimate that redemption will lead to an outgo of ~INR7bn. Similarly, Fortis does not provide through P&L for interest on a USD262m redeemable preference share taken from the promoters. We estimate redemption of the preference shares in July 2013 resulting in cash outflow of INR15bn. This is repayable at a coupon of 5% p.a. by July 2013.

On our estimates, we build in repayment of USD100mn and USD262mn on the May 2015 FCCB and July 2013 preference shares, respectively. We also account for the USD55m issue to IFC Washington that is expected by the company to consummate in 1QFY14.

Return ratio suppressed but likely to record improvement

Fortis’ return ratios are significantly suppressed. We analyse lower ROE through a Du Pont analysis. The low ROE is on account of both low margin and low asset turnover, in our view. Below we compare the various component ratios of Fortis and Apollo.

As highlighted above, margins for Fortis are relatively low, which is primarily on account of lower ARPOB. The asset base is high on large acquisitions and thus the asset turnover ratios are materially lower for Fortis. For instance, intangible for Fortis is at INR69.5bn (FY13F estimate) is 54% of the total asset base. Going forward, we believe margins will improve and asset intensity should come down. Margin improvement should be driven by operating leverage both for the hospital and the diagnostic businesses.

India Hospitals: foundation in place should deliver growth According to the company, Fortis is the second-largest private hospital chain in India (by owned bed capacity) with >6,400 beds under management (including >4800 owned and 1600 managed beds).

In India, Fortis has an extensive network of 68 hospitals/healthcare delivery centres comprising of 27 owned and operational, 28 managed and 13 under development facilities with 4,832, 1,600 and 3,645 beds, respectively, in terms of total capacity. Of the 13 facilities currently under development, three are expected by the company to be commissioned in the near term (over the next two quarters). These are in Gurgaon, Ludhiana and Arcot Road Chennai. These three hospitals have total capacity of 1,400 beds, which is almost 30% of the current bed capacity. However, we expect capacity to be added only in phases. The three newly commissioned hospitals should contribute

SRL acquisition lends a strong foothold in diagnostics

Fortis acquired 75% of SRL in May 2011 for a consideration of INR9.3bn, implying a valuation of INR12.4bn. Fortis further divested ~20% stake to private equity (PE) players at an implied valuation of >INR15bn in June 2012. Fortis will hold ~55% stake in SRL post dilution. The acquisition helped Fortis to integrate vertically while SRL also helps in generating leads for Fortis hospitals.

SRL has emerged as the largest diagnostic chain in the country, according to IMaCS, in a highly fragmented domestic market. The company operates through a network of 240 labs, 12 wellness centres and ~1,300 collection centres across the country. In our assessment, the volume of tests done at SRL is almost 3x the amount of tests done by the nearest competitor.

SRL strengthened its leadership in India through the acquisition of Piramal Diagnostics in August 2010, a landmark deal, in our view, in the Indian diagnostics sector. Piramal’s complementary offering catapulted SRL to the position of India’s largest diagnostics chain, with services spanning across pathology and radiology, according to the company. In contrast to SRL, which operates on a hub-and-spoke model, Piramal Diagnostics had

an independent centres model. The Piramal business is largely dependent on walk-ins, which contribute almost 97% of sales (source: company data). SRL’s hub-and-spoke model depends on sample collection at collection centres, contributing 89% of sales with the remaining 11% being walk-ins (source: company data). Before the Piramal acquisition, SRL had little presence in radiology. Through the Piramal acquisition, SRL acquired 13 radiology labs. The acquisition also expanded SRL’s geographic presence. SRL had a limited presence in southern India. The Piramal acquisition helped SRL expand its presence in the south — Piramal has an extensive network in Kerala.

We estimate that SRL would register revenue CAGR of 18% over FY13-15F and margins would expand from 10% in FY12 to 17% in FY15F, led by better utilization. As per Fortis, utilisation of the labs is low at ~35%. In our longer-term projections, we are building in a peak EBITDA margin of 20% for SRL from FY18F onwards. As per management, the diagnostic business could reach peak margins of 25%. Compared to international peers, the EBITDA margins for SRL is much lower despite lower employee costs. Thus, with increased volumes we expect overheads (particularly lease rental) to be absorbed, leading to expansion in margins. Fig. 27: SRL’s quarterly revenue (INR mn) and margins

International operations Fortis announced the acquisition of its international sister concern in September 2011 for an enterprise value of ~USD940m. The acquisition provided Fortis with an entry into the dental care and day care businesses. The acquisition of the international operations made Fortis the owner of one of the largest healthcare delivery networks in Asia Pacific. The international entity had operations in nine countries – Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Vietnam, Mauritius and Canada. The acquisition added 8 hospitals and more than 1,700 beds to Fortis’ capacity.

Divesting Dental Corp, as it had limited success with expansion

Dental Corp (DC) was the largest international asset that Fortis acquired; we believe it accounted for c.35% of the total acquisition consideration. DC is the market leader in Australia (as per management) and targeted the top 30% of that country’s the dental market. This segment enjoyed higher margins than rest of the international business for Fortis. DC’s EBITDA margin was 18.1% in 9MFY13 vs the company average of 13.5% (EBITDAC, pre-RHT). DC contributed 39% to EBITDAC in 9MFY13.

On an expanded base, we think DC’s growth prospects were limited in Australia. Further, the scale-up efforts outside Australia/NZ had limited success. Hence, Fortis decided to divest the business. In December 2012, Fortis decided to divest its ~64% stake in DC for INR14.8bn. The transaction is expected by the company to be executed by end-1QFY14. DC had debt of INR7.5bn on its balance sheet, which will be transferred to the new owner as part of the transaction. Thus, the transaction values the DC venture at ~INR22bn. As per Fortis, it would not make any material loss or profit on the disposal of stake in DC. We believe that FY13F and FY12 revenue growth in DC was largely driven by acquisition of practices and depreciation of the Indian rupee against the Australian dollar. We estimate that organic growth in DC over the last two years was in low single digits.

Other Key assets in the international business:

Quality Healthcare: Expanding service offerings

Quality Healthcare is a day care business asset based primarily in Hong Kong. This is the largest primary healthcare service provider in Hong Kong. Quality Healthcare is “asset light” as almost 520 centres (out of ~600 centres) are operated but not owned. Fortis also bought CMDG Diagnostics based in Hong Kong to complement Quality’s capabilities. CMDG Diagnostics has 5-6 diagnostic centres in Hong Kong. With this acquisition, Fortis currently operates one of the largest radiology networks in Hong Kong.

Since the acquisition, an effort has been made by the company to move up the value chain and offer specialty services. This has been one of the key margin drivers in the recent past. Quality Healthcare’s EBITDA margins expanded from 6-7% in FY11 to 8-10% currently. We expect EBITDA margins to continue to expand as contribution of specialty services increases.

Fortis is also exploring the possibility of entering the hospitals segment through Quality Healthcare. In 2012, the company had submitted tenders for two hospitals in Hong Kong. As per management, the cost of setting up a hospital in HK is high. For instance, to set

up a 500-bed hospital in Hong Kong, the estimated cost is USD500mn. Besides financial commitment, operating restrictions increases the risk profile, in our view. However, the company has not had much success in this area as of now.

We believe that revenues from Quality Healthcare and CMDG Diagnostics would continue to grow at mid- to-high single digits led by an increase in average revenue per centre and marginal increase in number of centres. We are not building in any impact of the potential expansion in the hospital segment. As well, Fortis intends to use the platform to enter China, which is also not factored into our estimates, given limited visibility at this stage.

Hoan My: A leading healthcare provider based in Vietnam

Hoan My has five full-service hospitals and three clinics across Central and Southern Vietnam with 800 beds. Since its acquisition by Fortis, Hoan My has been able to ramp up occupancy levels from 60% in FY11 to 75% in 2QFY13. Fortis also added a new 200-bed facility to the entity to replace an older facility.

We expect Hoan My to register a FY13-15F revenue CAGR of 22%, aided by improvement in revenue/bed and depreciation of the INR vs the VND (Vietnamese Dong). We also expect margins to improve from 16% in FY12 to 23% by FY15F on the back of better realizations and improved case mix.

Creation of RHT Religare Health Trust (RHT) was created as Fortis endeavored to move to an asset light model. Religare Health Trust (RHT) was established following the restructuring of Fortis Healthcare. The restructuring resulted in the separation of the ownership of the clinical establishments (hospital infrastructure) and the operations and management of certain hospitals. RHT received ownerships of the clinical establishments. RHT will hold 11 clinical establishments, including Gurgaon, which is being commissioned. In addition, it holds four greenfield clinical establishments which are expected by management to be operational over the next three years. Besides holding these 15 assets, as part of the restructuring two hospitals were transferred completely (ie, infrastructure and operations) to RHT. Details of the initial portfolio are shown in the following figure. Post the restructuring, RHT (the hospital services companies), which owns the clinical establishments in the portfolio, has entered into agreements with Fortis Healthcare. As per the agreement, RHT would provide OPD (out-patient department) and radio-diagnostic services, ie, RHT incurs the costs associated with these operations. In addition, RHT will make available the infrastructure for use by Fortis Healthcare. Fortis in turn will pay service fee to use the facilities.

Key structure highlights RHT is a trust managed by trustee manager Religare Health Trust Trustee Manager Pte. Ltd. RHT has entered into hospital and medical services agreements (HMSAs) with the Fortis group. The term of each HMSA is for an initial 15 years and is extendable by mutual consent for another 15 years. However, the initial term for the provision of radio-diagnostic services is three years and Fortis can extend the term at its own discretion. In case the radio-diagnostic services are not extended, the service fee may be reduced accordingly as mutually decided.

Under the HMSAs, RHT is to provide the following to Fortis:

• Making available and maintaining RHT clinical establishments;

• OPD services;

• Radio-diagnostic services; and

• Ancillary services and facilities (ie, pharmacy, cafeteria, ATM and other amenities).

Fortis is responsible for, among other things, operating and managing all clinical, medical surgical and other healthcare-related business. Fortis has no ownership rights on the facilities or any super structure thereon including the clinical establishments.

Fortis pays the hospital service companies (HSCs) a service fee comprised of a fixed base fee increasing at 3% every year and a variable fee at 7.5% of the revenue of the hospital. A technology renewal fee must be paid into a technology renewal fund to fund the replacement, refurbishment and/or upgrade of medical equipment owned or used by the HSCs. These fees are paid quarterly.

Phase one construction of the Gurgaon clinical establishment is complete. A base service fee of INR341mn, INR429mn and INR1.12bn will be paid in FY13, FY14 and FY15, respectively. No variable service fee will be paid in FY13 and FY14. In FY15, a variable service fee of 7.5% of revenues will be paid to RHT.

RHT is responsible for all investments in the hospitals for the purpose of capacity expansion, major modification to/upgrade of the clinical establishments and the fixtures, fittings, equipment and other assets owned by RHT at its own cost, and in a time-bound manner on the request of Fortis subject to mutual agreement. An interest-free commitment fee equivalent to 25% of the estimated cost of such capacity expansion and/or major modification is to be deposited by Fortis with RHT, which would be returned on completion of the expansion/upgrade.

Fortis has granted a right of first refusal (RoFR) to the trustee manager in respect of any proposed offer by Fortis to sell any medical and healthcare infrastructure assets located in Asia, Australasia and emerging markets in the rest of the world.

A reverse RoFR also exists by which Fortis has the first right of refusal on any clinical establishments proposed to be sold by RHT.

What does the creation of RHT mean for Fortis? • Creation of an asset light model: Through the creation of RHT, Fortis moves to an asset

light model. The assets which are not currently transferred to RHT, most notably Escorts Heart Institute, may be transferred to RHT at a later date, in our view. Also, the new green / brownfield hospitals in Ludhiana (Phase I) and Chennai (Arcot Road) may also be transferred. Fortis may undertake new expansion plans in India and abroad in collaboration with RHT, wherein RHT takes up a major part of the capex. Fortis would be responsible for installing medical equipment as a part of capex for new hospitals partnered with RHT.

• The RHT listing potentially acts as a source of stable finance in future in case Fortis needs to raise capital for expansion.

RHT deal increases the near-term risk to profitability Fortis raised INR22bn via a dilution of its stake in RHT. The raised cash was used to repay debt on Fortis’ balance sheet.

However, the deal adds operating leverage to the P&L and increases fixed costs, posing a threat to profitability in case revenue growth underperforms our expectations significantly. As highlighted above, Fortis has agreed to pay a fixed fee and a variable fee to RHT. The total fees paid to RHT less the costs transferred to RHT is 46-48% of the EBITDAC over FY14-15F. Approximately 72% of the fees are fixed and have to be paid irrespective of performance of the underlying hospitals. As the fixed fee only show a 3% CAGR vs EBITDAC growth of 16.7% over FY14-22F, we expect operating leverage to play out over time. However, in the near term, slippage in ramp-up, particularly in new hospitals like Gurgaon presents a potential downside risk to our earnings estimates.

Valuation Methodology We use the DCF method to value Fortis at INR124/sh, as we think metrics such as P/E or EV/EBITDA cannot fully value its business in the near term. The key assumption of our DCF model is a 5% terminal growth rate beyond FY24E. We use a cost of equity of 13%. Risks that may impede the achievement of the target price 1) High capex intensity – Hospitals entail high initial investment and back-ended returns. Thus, any change in competitive environment may adversely impact our projections. 2) Attrition of talent – As seen in the Delhi Escorts facility in the past, doctor attrition could adversely impact financials. Further, the lack of doctors in India and ever-increasing demand for skilled healthcare labour further compound this risk. 3) Regulatory changes – Hospitals can avail of various tax sops as per the present tax structure. Any adverse change or removal of these sops has a potential to reduce profitability.
