CARE Equity Research assigns 3/5 on fundamental grade to Sarda Energy & Minerals Limited (SEML) CARE Equity Research assigns a fundamental grade of 3/5 to SEML. This indicates ‘Good Fundamentals’. SEML is an integrated steel and ferro alloys producer with diversification plans into power and natural resources. The company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and selling of pellets, sponge iron, steel billets, wire rods, wire and ferro alloys from its plant located at Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The operations of the facility are supported by 81.5 MW captive thermal power plant and an operational coal mine (production capacity of 1.2 MTPA). The company is further expanding its ferro alloy business, focused primarily at exports and has commissioned a 2x33 MVA ferro alloy plant along with 80 MW captive power plant in Vishakhapatnam in Q4FY13. In an attempt to diversify and also be further self sufficient in terms of raw materials, the company has entered into power and natural resources business through its various subsidiaries and joint ventures. SEML through its subsidiaries has around 1780 MW of total ongoing power projects. The company also has obtained a total of around 10 mining licenses for prospecting, surveying and mining of coal, iron ore and manganese and acquired economic interest in coal mines in Indonesia. However, most of these projects are at early stages of development and currently the company lacks complete backward integration and is exposed to raw material price volatility. On the operational front, SEML has also taken steps to improve its efficiency by setting up a 0.6 MTPA iron pellet plant, a coal washery at its operational coal mine and fly ash brick manufacturing facilities for waste management. Valuation CARE Equity Research values equity shares of SEML at a Current Intrinsic Value (CIV) of Rs.178 per share. The valuation is arrived at by using the EV/EBITDA valuation methodology. We have assigned an EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.15 times to the consolidated 1-yr forward EBITDA of Rs.402 crore. At the Current Market Price (CMP) of Rs.108 per share; the CIV results in a valuation grade of 5/5, indicating the shares of SEML have ‘Considerable Upside Potential’.

Midsized, integrated steel and ferro alloy manufacturer primarily focused on domestic market;
increased capacity of ferro alloys to help boost exports
Sarda Energy & Minerals Ltd (SEML) is a midsized integrated steel, power and ferro alloys producer. The
company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of pellets, sponge iron, steel billets, wire rods, wire, wire
ferro alloys and power primarily in the domestic market. SEML’s plant is located at Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The
company has its own captive coal mines with a production capacity of 1.2 million tons per annum (MTPA) and
captive power plant (81.5 MW). The company also has an iron ore mine with a production capacity of 1.5
MTPA however; currently the same is not operational due to Maoists issues in the areas. While, revenues for
the steel business are primarily from domestic market, SEML is a leading exporter of ferro alloys and enjoys
the status of Star Export House from the Ministry of Commerce. The company is set to commission a
greenfield ferro alloys plant of 2x33 MVA capacity backed by captive power plant of 80 MW in Visakhapatnam
in Q4FY13 under its subsidiary Sarda Metals and Alloys Ltd. (SMAL). The company plans to export major
quantity of ferro alloy produced at this plant. Post this plant getting operational the company’s ferro alloy
production capacity will increase to 200,000 MTPA.

Chart 2: Domestic sales constitute bulk of total revenues currently
Source: Company and CARE Equity Research
While, over the last three years i.e. FY09 to FY12 SEML witnessed a strong growth in its steel revenues
(Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 59.9 per cent), this was mainly on account of new pellet and steel
wire rods capacity coming on stream, which lead to a volume growth of 15 per cent and blended realization
growth of 29 per cent (due to change in product mix). During the same period domestic finished steel and
steel raw materials industry witnessed a growth of 8.95 per cent. With no new capacity additions in steel
business over the next few years and also limited scope for further increase in capacity utilization, we believe
the growth rate in steel business for SEML will taper down to around 8 - 9 per cent. This growth would be
primarily supported by the overall growth in finished steel consumption in India. CARE Research foresees the
domestic finished steel consumption in India to grow at a CAGR of around 6.7 per cent in the next five years
from about 69 million (mn) tonnes in FY11 to around 103 mn tonnes by FY16. On the other hand, ferro alloy
business is expected to drive the volume growth for the company on the back of increased capacity.
Shift in product mix towards higher value products coupled with increased efficiency due to pellet plant
and coal washery to help improve EBITDA margin going ahead
In order to move up the value chain and have better control over costs SEML adopted a strategy to produce
higher value products and improve cost efficiencies. The company set up wire rods capacity in FY10 in order
to improve profitability. Rolled steel products (wire rods) command higher per ton value as compared to
sponge iron ore. As a result of which, contribution of rolled products increased from 4.3 per cent in FY10 to

32.2 per cent in FY12. The company also put up a 0.6 MTPA pelletisation plant to convert iron fines into
pellets (substitute for iron lump in sponge iron production) in order to reduce costs, as the cost of iron ore
fines are lower by at least around Rs.4000 per ton as compared to iron ore lumps. Further, the company also
set up a 0.96 MTPA coal washery in order to improve the quality of coal. We believe that foray into higher
value products with increased efficiency due to pellet plant and coal washery and revenues from sale of coal
middling (which directly flow into EBITDA) will help improve profitability. We expect the company’s EBITDA
margin to improve from 15.2 per cent in FY12 to 20.1 per cent in FY13 and further to 21.4 per cent in FY14.

Raw material price continues to impact SEML given the lack of complete backward integration
While SEML meets about 80% of its current coal requirements from captive mines at Raigarh, Chattisgarh
(production of ~1.2 MTPA), the company is still not self sufficient for its requirements of iron ore and
manganese ore and relies on open market procurements for the same. Further, currently there is no long-
term linkage for manganese ore, which is largely imported at prevailing international prices. However, to
tide over the variability as a result of procurement of these from the market, the company has executed
several licenses in Chhattisgarh, Goa and Madhya Pradesh, most of which are still in initial stages of
prospecting and pending various clearances and permissions. Hence, at present, the company continues to
rely on open market purchases which hamper its profitability as compared to some of its fully integrated
peers.

Fungible business model helps cushion profitability margins
Like most sponge iron manufacturing companies, SEML too has a flexible model, wherein company can
trade off between selling sponge iron & power OR processing into billets or wire rods. Such trade off is
triggered by spot rates of power. As billets/wire rods making involves significant power usage, companies
can opt for selling power rather than processing into billets/wire rods. We believe such flexible business
model will help the company to cushion its profitability margins from volatility in metal prices.

Diversification into power generation and international natural resources through subsidiaries route;
gearing to remain at moderate levels
In order to reduce its dependence on its core metals business SEML is currently in process of developing
power projects of total 1,780 MW and has also acquired economic interest in a coal mine in Indonesia
(having reserves of 300 MTPA) through its wholly owned subsidiary Sarda Global Ventures Pte. Ltd.
(SGVPL). However, most of its power projects including 1,320 MW and 350 MW power plants in state of
Chhattisgarh are currently at early stage of development and as on March 31, 2012, SEML had only invested
around Rs.73 crores cumulatively in the power projects. For its coal mines in Indonesia, the subsidiary
SGVPL has got the mining license, environmental and forest clearance and is currently acquiring land for the
mines. The company expects the Indonesian mine to be operational by 2013.
While, SEML has large expansion plans in place (including various thermal and hydro power projects,
Indonesian coal mine, Chhattisgarh coal mines), given the spaced out timelines of execution, coupled with
good cash generation from the core steel and ferro alloy business (post stabilization of pellet plant and
commissioning of the new ferro alloy plant) the company’s net debt-equity levels are expected to decline
from 1.18 times at the end of FY12 to around 0.84 times by the end of FY14.

Return ratios to remain under pressure in FY13 then marginally improve in FY14
We expect SEML’s RoE and RoCE ratios to remain under pressure in FY13 mainly account of a) pressure on
steel prices and b) current ongoing capital expenditure. We expect the company’s RoE and RoCE to decline
from around 10.3 per cent and 6.2 per cent, respectively in FY12 to around 7.8 per cent and 6.0 percent,
respectively in FY13 and then improve marginally to around 10.1 per cent and 8.3 per cent, respectively in

CARE Equity Research assigns a valuation grade of 5/5 to SEML
CARE Equity Research values equity shares of SEML Ltd. at a Current Intrinsic Value (CIV) of Rs. 178 per
share. The valuation has been arrived using EV/EBITDA valuation methodology. We have assigned an
EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.15 times to the one year forward consolidated EBITDA of Rs. 402 crores. While, in
past the company has traded at higher EV/EBITDA multiple; five year average one year forward rolling
EV/EBITDA multiple of 10.4 times, however, during the same period SEML earned an average Return on
Equity of around 18.3 percent, which going ahead (for FY13 – FY17) is expected to be much lower at around
10.3 per cent. While assigning the EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.15, we have discounted for the decline in RoE as
well the future growth in profits, which is expected to be lower at around 7 – 8 per cent.

The Indian steel industry ranks fifth in the world with a crude steel production capacity of 89 mn tonnes in FY12.
Integrated steel producers contributed to 55 per cent of the total crude steel production while the rest was
contributed by secondary producers. During the period from FY98 to FY01, steel production witnessed a marginal
growth of 3 per cent CAGR. However, during FY02 to FY08, owing to boom in the infrastructure and automobile
sectors, the industry witnessed a sharp turnaround and registered a CAGR of 13 per cent.
Domestic steel consumption to grow at a CAGR of 6.7 percent during FY12– FY16
Despite the gloom in the advanced economies and the European countries, domestic finished steel industry
continued to register a strong growth during FY03 to FY11. Amid a sharp slowdown in the global demand (in the
aftermath of the global financial crisis during FY09), the domestic finished steel industry along with China strongly
contributed in the recovery in the global demand for the finished steel industry. Going ahead, CARE Research
estimates the domestic finished steel consumption to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around
6.7 per cent during period FY12-FY17.

Global finished steel production to witness steady growth in demand
CARE Research expects the global steel demand to grow at a CAGR of 3.2 percent from about 1484 mn tonnes in
CY11 to about 1788 mn tonnes in CY14. Despite an expected slowdown in Chinese demand, China is likely to
continue its dominance in the global metals demand followed by India and the other emerging economies. CARE
Research expects global supply of steel will continue to adjust itself with the change in global demand. Global steel
production is likely to increase at a CAGR of around 2 percent during CY11 to CY14. However, being in a surplus

Sectors driving the domestic demand for the steel industry
During FY03 to FY11, domestic steel consumption has almost doubled up, growing at a CAGR of about 9.5 percent
from 34 mn tonnes to 69 mn tonnes. The Indian steel industry has been closely following the robust growth in
demand by increasing the domestic capacity at an almost similar pace from 40 mn tonnes to about 80 mn tonnes
during the same period. Domestic steel production also increased at a CAGR of 7.5% from 37 mn tonnes to 66 mn
tones.

CARE EquiGrade Grid (CEG)
Through CEG, CARE Equity Research addresses two critical factors considered by an investor while investing in a particular
company’s equity shares:
1. Fundamentals: Whether the company is fundamentally sound with respect to its business, its financial position, its
management and its prospects.
2. Valuation: What is the Current Intrinsic Value (CIV) of the stock and how it compares vis-a-vis its Current Market Price
(CMP).
These factors are answered assigning quantitative grades to both these parameters. CEG is the snapshot of ‘Fundamental Grade’
and ‘Valuation Grade’ assigned by CARE Equity Research.
Fundamental Grade
This grade represents how sound the company is fundamentally, vis-à-vis other listed companies in India. This grade captures:
1. Business Fundamentals and Prospects
2. Financial Soundness
3. Management Quality
4. Corporate Governance Practices
The grade is assigned on a five-point scale as under:
CARE Fundamental Grade Evaluation
5/5 Strong Fundamentals
4/5 Very Good Fundamentals
3/5 Good Fundamentals
2/5 Modest Fundamentals
1/5 Weak Fundamentals
Valuation Grade
This grade represents the potential value in the company’s equity share for the investor over a 1-year period. The Current
Intrinsic Value (CIV) or the price arrived by CARE Equity Research on fundamental basis is compared with the Current Market
Price (CMP) of the stock and the grade is assigned based on the gap between CIV and CMP of the stock.
The grade is assigned on a five-point scale as under:
CARE Valuation Grade Evaluation
5/5 Considerable Upside Potential (>25% upside from CMP)
4/5 Moderate Upside Potential (10-25% upside from CMP)
3/5 Fairly Priced (+/-10% from CMP)
2/5 Moderate Downside Potential (10-25% downside from CMP)
1/5 Considerable Downside Potential (>25% downside from CMP)
Grading determination is a matter of experienced and holistic judgment, based on relevant quantitative and qualitative
factors of the company in relation to other listed companies.
