The stable presence of Arshiya International (ARST) in 3 PL services should further get boosted as the Company is aggressively expanding its FTWZ division and is adding more rakes in its rail business. The leadin g container train operator Container Corporation of India (CCRI) with strong cash position is striving to increase value added services in its bid to prote ct revenue growth and margins to sustain competitive pressure.

Executive Summary
Concerns Overdone; Valuations Attractive Led by Long Ter m Growth
While our logistics coverage universe has delivered upto 40% return CAGR over the past three years, the last 12M's underperformance has resulted on account of economy growth concerns. On risk adjusted basis, the valuation multiples do not discount the lon g term sectoral growth potential and hence provides attractive entry point.

Sector in an Upcycle Phase - Growing Economy and EXIM Trade Boosts Outlook for Logistics Demand
The demand for logistics services (transportation, warehousing and value added services) in India has remained buoyant, as the Indian economy has grown by ~8% CAG R during the last eight years and the IMF projects India's GDP CAGR of 8% for FY1217 E period (higher than world GDP CAGR of 4.5%). This reflects that India's EXI M trade should grow at >15% CAGR (2x GDP growth), as it has grown at 25x GDP in F Y0311 period. The sustained focus on rising infrastructure spend by the government (US $500 bn in 10th FYP and US$1 trillion in 12th FYP) and rising FDIs in Indian companies (> Rs. 140 bn over the last four years) should drive the need for improved logistics requirement.

Infrastructure Development Acceleration - Key to Attract Logistics Players


Despite buoyant demand for logistics the sector remains highly unorganized and inefficient on account of lack of infrastructure capacity across railways, roadways and po rts, etc. Capacity expansion has lagged the government's own targets laid out in t he plan documents. Logistics investments in 10th and 11th FYPs have missed their targets by 9% and 21%, respectively. We expect things to improve going forward, as b oth the NHAI and the DFCCIL have been trying to speed up their road and r ail track expansions, which have been delayed by three to five years. The Mini stry of Shipping has launched the new Maritime Agenda 20102020 to address t he slow pace of port expansions. The Government has also introduced various tax incentives to attract serious logistics companies.

Sector Dynamics opened up to Private Operators


Railways opened up container train operations for private players thereby attracting 15 operators, who have gained ~32% of market share from incumbent Container Corporation of India over the last five years.

Who would be benefitted?


Logistics companies who have been investing in asset base (rakes, warehousing and technology, etc.) to provide logistics solutions across the various segments s hould be the major beneficiaries as infrastructure starts falling in place. Almost all the th ree segments of Indian logistics (transportation, warehousing and value added se rvices) have strong growth potential and appear attractive on comparative analy sis and have seen continued interests in form of PE investments and M&A activities.

GST Implementation to Accelerate India's Growth on Logistics Front


Goods & Services Tax (GST) - to be implemented in FY13 - would do away with multiple taxations and other complexities that the logistics providers have to deal with in different states of India. This will boost investments in large warehouses with latest technologies thereby gaining economies of scale. This in turn will increas e the attractiveness of integrated logistics companies, which can provide endtoend logistics solutions.

We Initiate Coverage on Four Stocks


We initiate coverage on four large logistic service providers - Gateway Distriparks (GDPL), Allcargo Logistics (AGLL), Arshiya International (ARST) and Container Corporation of India (CCRI) with 'BUY' recommendation, as they are trading well below their historical valuations.

Logistics Thematic

Logistic companies have delivered strong performance during the last three years
The logistic sector in general and the stocks under coverage in particular have delivered strong stock performance over the last three years. Most of the stocks have delivered double digit price CAGR. However, over the last one year, the s tocks have mostly delivered negative returns and have also underperformed the broader I ndex. As the companies' fundamentals have remained fairly intact and have been f urther improving; stock underperformance can largely be attributed to the impact of g overnment's policy inactions on slower pace of infrastructure development.

Improved fundamentals to boost stock performance of stock s under coverage


Going forward, we expect the stocks under coverage to deliver higher absolute/ relative stock performance led by their strengthening fundamentals and increased asset ut ilisations. We expect government reforms to accelerate from their current levels, which in turn should help speed up logistics infrastructure executions. Higher Debt to Equity ratio for ARST is a nearterm concern due to its aggressive FTWZ expansions in FY1214E period. However, the same should get relaxed by FY14E, as the expansion results in improved cash flows thereby helping the C ompany reduce its debt exposure. This is turn should boost ARST's asset turn o ver and RoCE in FY14E. Similarly, as GDPL's rail and CFS businesses expand alongwith higher utilisation, we expect the Company's sales turnover and return ratios to gain.

Summary of Companies covered in the Report


Allcargo Logistics (AGLL IN): We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY " recommendation with a target price of Rs. 213 per share, valuing AGLL at 10.5x its FY13FY14E average EPS. MTO segment buoyed by ECU Line growth: Globally, AGLL is the 2nd largest LCL consolidator (Multimodal Transport Operations) post acquisition of ECU Line. This segment accounts for 80% of total revenues. With ECU Lines' increasin g presence in the high growth Asian countries, we expect the MTO revenues to grow at 14% CAGR during FY1214E. Expanding CFS/ ICD capacities to boost profitability: AGLL has three CFS at three major EXIM hubs JNPT, Mundra and Chennai. It is the number on e operator at Chennai and Mundra ports with major concentration towards high realisation import cargo handling. Arshiya International (ARST IN): We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY" reco mmendation with a target price of Rs. 227 per share, valuing ARST at 7.0x its FY1314E average EBITDA. FTWZ expansion boosts earnings growth in FY1214E periods: Arshiy a International (ARST) is the pioneer of the FTWZ (Free Trade Warehousing Zones) concept in India. It plans to ramp up its warehouse capacities at both the FTW Z by tenfold to 35 warehouses by FY14E. Based on these expansions, we expect re venues of this high margin (EBIT margins of >55%) segment to grow by >100% CAGR during FY1214E. Rail Business (Third largest operator) on expansion spree: ARST is the third largest container train operator in India with 16 operational rakes and plans to add an other eight rakes during FY1314E. We expect these additions to boost the segmenta l revenues by 38% CAGR and EBITDA CAGR of 28% during FY1214E. Container Corporation of India (CCRI IN): We initiate coverage on the stock with "B UY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 1,115 per share, valuing CCRI at 13.2x its FY1314E average EPS. Largest container train operator in India: Container Corporation of India (CCRI) is India's largest container train operator (CTO) with container train fleet strength of 240 container trains and 61 terminals spread across India. Currently, CCRI has ~68% of total container fleet operational in India. Strategic tieups with competitors & customers to support revenue growt h: CCRI has formed various JVs across India partnering with its customers as well as competing CTOs to support its revenue growth. In the domestic train handling , CCRI's FY1112E volume growths got impact after Indian Railways in Dec'10 ann ounced commodityspecific haulage charges increase for domestic cargoes. Ho wever, the quarterly volume trends suggest a bottom out situation in FY12E. Subse quently, we expect revenues to grow at 12% CAGR during FY1214E.

March 22, 2012

Logistics Thematic Gateway Distriparks (GDPL IN): We initiate coverage on the stock with "BU Y" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 204 per share, valuing GDPL at 12.0x its FY1314E average EPS. CFS Business the cash cow; expanding capacities to fuel growth: We expect GDPL's CFS volume to grow by 3% and 7% during FY1314E vs. 3% durin g FY12E, as new capacities get commissioned at JNPT and Kochi. Strong relationship with shipping lines should boost the growth as it the shipping lines that notify which CFS to do business with (and not the cargo owners) . Further, CFS is a cash cow, as it has very high OPM of ~54% and the segment generates >80% of PAT. Leadership position in the container train business: GDPL currently operates 21 rakes (2nd largest after Container Corp) with >85% of its capacity being deployed in the EXIM container transportation. It plans to add another 68 r akes during FY13E. We expect GDPL's rail volumes to grow by 29% and 15% during FY12E and FY13E.

Profile of Indian Logistics Industry


Indian logistics industry is ~3% of the global logistics and is highly fragmented so far. Lo gistics industry comprises of three major segments transportation, storage and value ad ded services. Based on the analysis of various subsegments in the Indian conte xt on various comparative factors, we believe companies in the storage and the value added service segments are wellplaced to capitalize on growing Indian economy. In the transportation segment, we like companies present in container train and project logistics.

1. Growing Indian economy, rising government spends and FDI to keep logistics demand buoyant
Growth in logistics sector is related to increased economic activities and rising EXIM trade. India's GDP has grown by ~8% CAGR during the last eight years and the IM F forecasts it to grow by similar rate during FY1217E period.

1.1 India's EXIM trade should double to US$ 1 trillion by CY16E


During FY0311 period, EXIM trade (nonoil) has grown at ~25x GDP growth. Assuming EXIM trade (nonoil) growth of 2 times GDP growth, India's EXIM t rade should grow at more than 15% CAGR through CY16E to US$1 trillion. Over the las t eight years, India's global trade has grown at ~1.7x global trade in value ter m. This resulted in 100 bps expansion in India's share in global trade thereby boosting India's significance on the global trade map.

1.2 Containerized EXIM throughout to grow at 12% CAGR during FY0826E - to benefit logistics services across 3 verticals
Indian Port Association (IPA) forecasts India's EXIM volumes at major Indian ports to grow at 6.5% CAGR during FY0826E at about the similar rate of 7% at which volumes grew during FY0010 period. Cont ainerized cargo handling at major ports would be the major beneficiary and is expected to grow at 12% CAGR during the same period. At this rate, EXIM throughput at major p orts will double to 228 bn MT during FY1117E period. Even if we assume this growt h rate to be optimistic and factor in an 8% base case scenario, EXIM thr oughput should grow by 1.6 times to 182 bn MT by FY17E thereby dep icting strong demand potential for logistics services across all the three verticals - transportation, warehousing and value added services.

Strong economic growth during the last several years has attracted strong FDI across various industries in India. These foreign companies have seen the cost b enefits of enhanced logistics systems in their countries. Hence, these companies s hould be willing to allocate their logistics requirements to organized logistics pl ayers thereby increasing the demand for integrated logistics service providers in India.

1.5 Increased container penetration provides opportunities for varied logistics services multimodal transport, warehousing & value added services
While container logistics in India was introduced by Indian Railways as early as in 1966 to provide doortodoor service to their customers, it was only after 20 years when Government of India realized the importance of containerization. In 1988, it commissione d the JNPT and subsequently created a Corporation called Container Corp of India, which constructed its first ICD at Tughlakabad in New Delhi. Container traffic in India has grown at 11% CAGR during FY0112 boosted by rising EXIM trade. Increased containerization has further facilitated multimodal transport in India.

2.2 Hinterland connectivity has been a bottleneck for logistics sector


India's freight traffic is heavily concentrated along the seven major routes (as shown in Exhibit 34 below). These seven routes account for ~50% of total freight traffi c (2007). I. The northern Corridors Delhi Mumbai and Delhi Kolkata routes handle ~19% of total traffic. The high traffic flow along these two routes is on account of EXIM traffic from the hinterland areas to the ports of Kandla, Mumbai and Kolkata. II. The Southern Corridors Chennai Mumbai and Chennai Kolkata routes handle relatively low er freight traffic (10%). The presence of most of the major and minor ports along th e coastline of the southern half of the country reduces the need to traverse longer distance s along the major routes discussed above. While traffic concentration along these routes is expected to grow further, road and rail infrastructure development has not kept pace with traffic growth. Rail: Almost 80% of the present railways network was built before India's independence in 1947. Rail traffic grew by >10x since independence, while track length grew by a modest ~1.5x. The existing trunk routes of HowrahDelhi on the Easter n Corridor and MumbaiDelhi on the Western Corridor are highly saturated with line capacity utilization varying between 115% and 150%. Road: While road traffic grew by >200x since 1951, road length has grown by just 8x thereby impacting transportation efficiency of the country. Almost 30% of the existing National Highways were constructed prior to independence.

2.3 Rail Road Mix should complement each other


Predominance of road transport in India has added to higher logistics costs for India. India spends ~13% of its GDP on logistics vs. 78% in the developed c ountries. In India, a large chunk of cargo traffic moves through roadways even though these are capable of being transported through railways. On an average, rail transport costs one third the transportation cost by road. However, roads have the adv antage of the last mile connectivity and hence logistics costs can be reduced by judicious mix of both rail and road transport

3. Government Initiatives to Address the Infrastructure Bottlenecks


3.1 Planned Expenditure by Govt has missed targets 12th Plan fixed at Rs. 13 trillion
There have been initiatives to augment capacities across all the modes of transportation. While the 10th Five Year Plan (20022007) outlay Rs. 2.6 trillion for the logistics sector, the same has been doubled to Rs. 5.6 trillion in 11th FYP. There have been slippages in these investments with the railways being a major laggard in terms of investments. In the 11th FYP, the port development suffered major setbacks, as the actual spending estimates were halved. Going forward, the 12th FY P has doubled the outlay to ~Rs. 13 trillion to augment logistics infrastructure.

3.2 Dedicated Freight Corridors (railways) to augment track capacity by ~2,750 Kms
The Ministry of Railways (MoR) set up the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) in 2006 to address the issue of capacit y constrain for freight traffic movement in India. The DFCCIL conceived the quadrilateral project to augment freight handling capacity by Indian railways. The quadrilateral includes a Western and Eastern Corridor linking the four metro cities Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Howrah. While it was expected to be operational by 2017, inadvertent delays at various fronts have delayed the project by 34 years. Nonetheless, the commissioning of the same would help decongest the major traffic routes as well as improve the hinterland connec tivity with the ports.

3.4 New Maritime Agenda 20102020 will boost port capacity driving EXIM trade growth
Currently there are 12 major ports (capacity 681 mn MT) in India and ~187 minor ports (capacity 392 mn MT). The nonmajor ports have maximum concentration in the states of Gujarat (42) and Maharashtra (48). The government had set up NMDP at the start of 11th FYP (FY0712) with an investment outlay of Rs. 550 bn to double the 12 major ports' capacity to 1 bn MT (276 pro jects) by FY12. However, it could only invest 10% of the total fund during FY0710 peri od. Subsequently, the Government has recently scrapped NMDP (expiring in Mar'12) and has launched the Maritime Agenda 20102020. The Maritime Agenda 20102020 has set aside US$110 bn fund size to develop ports and shipbuilding industry by 2020. It envisages augmenting major ports c apacities to 3.1 bn MT by 2020. The port sector under the new plan would invest US$66 b n, of which the majority will be from private investors. Two new ports will be built, one o n each coast, while four of the 12 existing major ports (Nhava Sheva, Cochin, Chennai and Visakhapatnam) will be substantially upgraded.

3.5 Coastal/ inland waterways can further ease logistics constraints


Though India's long coastline of ~7,500 km offers opportunities for development of this mode, it remains unleveraged due to lack of coastal navigation infrastructure. Compar atively, China utilizes its coastline much more effectively where 30% of total domestic freight traffic travels over water. Lack of government focus towards the sector has kept it undeveloped and is restricted only to barge and lighterage operations of bulk cargo. Recently, the Indian Government has relaxed Cabotage law to allow foreign shipping lines to o perate feeder services between Indian ports. This should encourage increased container services between the ports thereby improving logistics flow in India. India's navigable inland waterways comprise almost 14,500 km, out of which 5,200 km of major rivers and some 500 km of canals are suitable for mechanized craft. So far, I nland Waterway Transport (IWT) is limited to only 1% of total inland cargo transport in India.

3.6 Container ports new expansions at major ports key to EXIM throughput growth
JNPT, which handles ~60% of Indian container traffic at major ports, is operating at saturated levels with minimal growth of ~3%. Chennai port handles ~20% of I ndia's container traffic and is growing at ~6% and will soon operate at same u tilization levels as that of JNPT. These suggest that there is urgent need for new capacity additions across India to handle growing EXIM container traffic.

4. Emergence of Private Container Train Operators have brought in Competitiveness


In its bid to augment container penetration in India and bring in efficiency in container logistics in India, the MoR (in consultation of Ministry of Shipping, Ministry of Commerce & Industry and Planning Commission) passed a policy in J an'06, whereby the private companies were invited to operate container trains alo ng with the incumbent operator Container Corp using the IR's existing rail infrastructure. Keeping the traffic concentration in perspective, the entire network of IR was classified into four categories (Category I to IV) based on the existing and ant icipated traffic volumes of ports. 15 private players bought licenses for various categories as Container Train Operators (CTOs) thereby during 20062008. While the CTOs would procure their rolling stocks and would construct or lease their Inland Cont ainer Deports (ICD), the IR would provide the locomotives to all the 16 operators (along with Container Corp) on a nondiscriminatory basis. We believe this is a move in the right direction as private participation should facilitate faster penetration of containerized trade in India, as the private players who have entered in this business are also present in other related services. Thi s paves the way for rise in integrated logistics in India in the long haul.

4.1 Private CTOs reduce Container Corp's monopoly while improving competitiveness
Promoters' profile and their other business segments suggest that most of the private entrants are serious players. Their presence in related businesses cont ainer shipping, container terminal operations, CFS operations and the presence o f international companies suggest these CTOs would continue to invest in the sector and would further ramp up their operations.

4.2 Growth opportunities abound for CTOs even on a conservative basis


Our base case analysis suggests that the demand for container trains sho uld grow by 10% CAGR in FY1217E period. This implies addition of >220 container t rains by FY17E. Our bear case assumptions forecast need for >120 contai ner trains. We have based demand projections at lower rates than that envisage d by IPA, as we see port and rail infrastructure growth to remain constrained. Further, w e have only factored in EXIM container traffic for major ports. Additional dem and should come in from private ports that have come in Gujarat and Vishakhapatnam.

4.3 Economics of a CTO/ICD operator


As shown below, we have worked out the profitability of a model CTO operator, which owns four ICDs and 40 rakes. At 80% utilisation, RoCE stands at 10%. With a pick up in container services, the utilisation levels are expected to remain > 80% and the op erators would be able to sweat the assets effectively on both uphaul and down hauls. The sector being capital intensive, as utilisation and demand pick up, higher leverage should result in large expansion in the return ratio.

4.4 Operational issues impacting CTOs need to be addressed


The entrants CTOs have incurred high capital costs towards license fees and infrastructure building making the business highly capital intensive and with a l ong gestation period. Amongst the operational cost for a CTO, haulage charges by the IR accounts for 7075% of the operational cost. The IR has increased the haulage charges by at least five times since Jan '06. Haulage charges by Indian Railways: While the haulage revenue accounts fo r ~3% of IR total revenues, it is a significant cost for the CTOs. When the wagons/ contai ners have to be moved empty on their return journey, the CTOs margins are further com pressed. Empty container movement is charged at 65% and empty container wagon at 60% of the loaded container haulage charge.
Exhibit 52: Indian Railways raised the haulage charges by >15% with three year of operations by private CTOs. In 2010, it further raised haulage charges for select commodities by ~100%200% thereby impacting operators' growth & profitability

4.5 Haulage charge hike impacted domestic handling for rail operators
The hikes in commodity specific haulage charge by the IR severely impacted th e demand for container rails in the domestic segment. The IR lost its market share to the truck operators over the next few quarters.

However, in the long run, the railways will continue to be the preferred mode for long ha ul cargo movements as it costs ~one third (Rs. 1.25 per KM per MT) compared to road transportation.

26

March 22, 2012

Logistics Thematic Additional railway surcharge, rising empty rake parking charges, restricting com modity basket for CTOs have further compounded the cost pressure on the CTOs. Other issues which need to be handled include better and efficient maintenance facility by IR to CTOs, better clarity on development and use of private sidings to increas e penetration. Further, while the IR has leased out land to Container Corp at low rates, the private CTOs have to incur high costs to set up its ICD/ CFS. This contradicts the levelplaying field suggested by the policy.

5. FDI Policy related to Logistics Sector has Encouraged Foreign Players/ PEs to invest in the Sector
In India, 100% FDI is allowed in the logistics sector. Almost all major global logistics players have their presence in India. 100% FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistics services except in services mentioned in points II and III FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services, including air cargo services.

6. Impending GST - Another Booster for the Industry


In the absence of a unified tax structure, the companies have to invest in warehousing operations in every state to avoid multiple taxations. This raises the total fi xed costs for the operators, while preventing the implantation of latest technologies as fragmentation prohibits economies of scale. The recent move by the Government to implement GST in FY13 would address

this issue to a large extent. Unified taxation should reduce ambiguity and costs for various service providers. This in turn will boost the modern warehouse industry and also help in crease penetration of integrated logistics concepts of 3PL, 4PL and 7PL.

Modern warehousing segment to be a large beneficiary of GST


The Indian warehousing industry is highly fragmented with only ~10% with organised players. Again, the size of the warehouses is mostly less than 10,000 square feet and these warehouses lack modern infrastructure capabilities. As per industry estimates, the warehousing segment (including CFS, ICD, cold storage, modern warehousing, etc) comprises 20% of the logistics industry and is valued at ~US$3 0 bn in FY10. GST implementation would lead to significant reorganization of warehous ing in India, as the companies move towards unified and large warehouses at centralized locations coupled with modern infrastructure. The demand for modern warehousing would increase, as these are critical elements in evolution of the logistic supply chain.

7. Value Added Services 3PL & above - to Provide the Next Level of Growth for Logistics Industry
As discussed earlier in the report, logistics in India is at the nascent stages. Market share of 3PL logistics in India is ~10% vs. 40% in Europe, ~60% in the USA and 80% in Japan. Hence, there remains strong growth potential for logistics service providers in the segment.
Exhibit 57: Various classes of logistics service providers

Source: Industry, Karvy Institutional Research

As the companies increasingly focus on their operational efficiencies through bet ter cost controls and on asset returns, the management focus would shift to core business. Hence, noncore business of handling logistics supply chain would move to 3PL (and a bove) service providers. However, the success of these providers would require lon g term relationships with customers as well as asset providers, customized industry specif ic solutions, highly qualified manpower and enhanced usage of technology etc.

Third Party logistics (3PL) is an outsourcing concept in which a compan y outsources its logistics needs to some third party player who takes cares of all their l ogistics needs. The general functions which are outsourced under the concept are transportation, warehousing, crossdocking, inventory management, packaging and freight forwarding. Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) can be defined as a service of designing sup ply chain solutions for its clients. The service providers under the category are basically non asset based, who organize the logistics needs of their clients. The main distinguishing factor between a 3PL and 4PL is the ability of 4PL to gener ate revenues from nonasset base. 4PL player is a consultant, whereas 3PL i s the actual operator, who executes the logistics functions. 4PL in some cases also coordinates the functions of 3PL. Seven Party Logistics (7PL = 4PL + 3PL) is a recent concept and it combi nes the consulting and cocoordinating functions of 4PL with operational functions of 3P L, thus offering a total outsourcing of logistics division. 7PL concept is yet to take its grounds in India.

Key Risks
As discussed, the growth of Indian logistics sector is very much dependant on government willingness to relax logistics infrastructure constraints. Ther e have been inadvertent delays in developing rail, road, ports and coastal s hipping capabilities. Whilst we expect things to move in the positive direc tions, further delays will distract serious investors in the segment, who have been investing in transportation assets and in developing high end logistics services. Delay in streamlining taxation policy is another key risk that will impact the sectors' profitability and the future capex capability. Land acquisition in India has become complex recently due to various socio political issues. Any delay in streamlining the land acquisition process would severel y impact the profitability of the incumbent as well as the and new entrants.

A Global Player on Growth Path


MTO segment buoyed by ECU Line growth: Globally, AGLL is the 2nd largest LCL consolidator (Multimodal Transport Operations) post acquisition of ECU Line. This segment accounts for 80% of total revenues. With EC U Line's increasing presence in the high growth Asian countries, we expect the MTO revenues to grow at 14% CAGR in FY1214E period. Expanding CFS/ ICD Capacities to Boost Profitability: AGLL has three CFS at three major EXIM hubs JNPT, Mundra and Chennai. It is the number one opera tor at Chennai and Mundra ports with major concentration towards high r ealisation import cargo handling. Currently, this segment contributes ~7% to AGLL total sales and ~30% of consolidated EBIT as this is the highest margin segment for AGLL (~4857% OPM during the last eight quarters). AGLL is incurring capex of Rs. 1.3 bn to double its JNPT capacity to 28 8K TEUs and Chennai capacity by ~10% in FY13E. Further, AGLL is augmenting its ICDs' and Warehouses' capacities by incurring a capex of Rs. 0.7 bn. Rising presence in another niche business - Project logistics and Equipment hiring: AGLL has increased its fleet of cranes and engineeri ng equipment to capitalise on strong demand related to infrastructure dev elopment activities. With a strong capex of Rs. 4 bn during FY1213E, we expect revenues to grow at 18% CAGR during FY1214E. Capex results in doubling of gross debt but within control: The ongo ing expansions have doubled AGLL's gross debt in FY12E to Rs. 7.9 bn and we expect the same to increase further to Rs. 8.6 bn by FY14E. However, in our view AGLL's balance sheet does not appear stretched as net DER stands in the range of 0.260.37x during FY1214E. Initiate coverage with "BUY" recommendation: We expect AGLL net profits to grow by 20% CAGR during FY1214E period led by expansions across all the th ree business segments AGLL is present in MTO, CFS/ICD and Project & Engineering. We value AGLL at 10.5x (25% discount to five year median P/E 13.8x) it's mid FY13FY14E EPS of Rs. 2 0.2.

Valuation & Recommendation


We expect AGLL net profits to grow at 20% CAGR during FY1214E period led by expansions across all the three business segments AGLL is present in MTO, CFS/ICD and Project & Engineering. While debt levels will increase to fund this growth, AGLL balance sheet remains fairly stable in our view (Net DE R of ~0.3x during FY1314E). We value AGLL at 10.5x (25% discount to its five year me dian P/E 13.8x) it's mid FY13FY14E EPS of Rs20.2 per share. The 25% discount to its long term average factors in risks to earnings growth that may emanate from delays in infrastructure commissioning which in turn will impact growth f or all the logistics providers. We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 213 per share.

Investment Rationale
Our investment thesis is based on following premises: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. LCL / MTO segment buoyed by ECU Line's growth CFS capacity expansion to boost profitability ICDs and Warehouses would further boost earnings in longrun Project Logistics and Equipment hiring to gain from growing demand from infrastructure space We expect 15% revenue CAGR during FY1214E Expect EBITDA CAGR of 26% during FY1214E as margins expand PAT CAGR to moderate to 20% on account of high interest costs

1. LCL / MTO segment buoyed by ECU Line's growth


AGLL became the 2nd largest LCL consolidator globally after it acquired ECU Line. This subsidiary along with Indian MTO operations contributes ~80% of consol idated revenues of AGLL (India ~10%). With its strong presence across the globe, ECU L ine MTO volume throughput has been growing by 18% CAGR over the last two years. E CU Line has slowly diversified into non European countries into the Far East nations to continue its growth momentum. It recently acquire d companies in Hong Kong and China to mark its presence in growing Asian economies. Additionally, as container trade increases amongst the Asian countries, AGLL should benefit from its rising presence in Asia. Going forward, we expect total MTO revenues to grow by 13% CAGR during FY1214E periods.

2. CFS capacity expansion to boost profitability


AGLL has three CFS at three major EXIM hubs JNPT, Mundra and Chennai. It is the number one operator at Chennai and Mundra ports with major concentration towards high realisation import cargo handling. Currently, this segment contributes ~7% t o AGLL total sales and ~30% of consolidated EBIT as this is the highest margin segment for AGLL (~4857% OPM during the last eight quarters). Going forward, the CFS' contribution to topline and EBIT should increase as AGLL is about to double its CFS capacity at JNPT by 1HFY12 to 288K TEUs. This will be a major revenue driver as currently, JNPT CFS is operating at >90% utilis ation. The management plans to increase its export handling on the incrementa l capacities in its bid to gain overall EXIM market share at JNPT. Similarly, to maintain its leadership position at Chennai where utilisation has

March 22, 2012

Allcargo Logistics moved up to 80% levels, AGLL is planning to augment its capacity through introduction of better stacking facilities using Rubber Tyre Gantry Cranes (RTGs). Going forward, we expect moderate fall in EBIDTA margins as new capacities in JNPT pickup mainly on account of change in EXIM mix. However, we expect the ad ditional revenue generated from added capacities to more than compensate for the margin decline. Total capex of Rs. 1.3 bn is being spent towards CFS segment during FY1213E period. Exhibit 6: AGLL's JNPT CFS volumes

3. ICDs and Warehouses would further boost earnings in longrun


It also has two ICDs operational at Dadri and Pithampura. Currently, these are small units and AGLL is infusing capex to increase throughput at these units as well as is investing in another ICD at Hyderabad. Additionally, AGLL is also investing into warehousing capacity at Goa and Hosur. AGLL is spending ~Rs. 0.7 bn towards these expansions.

4. Project Logistics and Equipment hiring to gain from growi ng demand from Infrastructure space
AGLL offers project integrated projects, engineering and equipment logistics solutions. The growth in this business is closely related with infrastructure deve lopment activities in India. The industry is currently facing acute demand suppl y gap for availability of equipments as well as one stop solution provider to meet the industry demand. Exhibit 9: AGLL's Cranes fleet growth

AGLL currently has a strong fleet of 62 forklifts, 36 reach stackers, 488 trailers and 145 cranes. It added 44 cranes (~40% increase YoY) during CY11 which is the main

March 22, 2012

Allcargo Logistics revenue driver for the equipment hiring division. With strong EBIT margins of ~25%, growth in the segment should boost PAT growth. Current project order b ook stands at Rs 2.3 bn, out of which company expects to execute Rs~1.31.4 bn in FY13 E, which should help the segmental revenue growth 20% in FY13. The manag ement is incurring capex of Rs 4 bn during FY1213E to augment fleet strength in the segment.

5. We expect 15% revenue CAGR during FY1214E


We have factored in 14%, 26% 18% revenue CAGR in the MTO division, CFS division and Project & Equipment division respectively during FY1214E periods. This should lead to 15% revenue CAGR during FY1214E period. Exhibit 12: Key volumes and realisation assumptions

6. Expect EBITDA CAGR of 26% during FY1214E as margi ns expand


Aided by higher realisation and increased operational efficiencies, we expect OPM to expand by >200bps YoY during FY12E and to further improve by 90bps during FY1314E. This should result in EBITDA CAGR of 26% during FY1214E period.

7. PAT CAGR to moderate to 20% on account of high interest costs


The ongoing expansions have doubled AGLL's gross debt in FY12E to Rs. 7.9 bn and we expect the same to increase further to Rs. 8.6 bn by FY14E. These wi ll increase interest outgo in subsequent years thereby moderating PAT CAGR to 20% du ring FY1214E. However, in our view AGLL's balance sheet does not appear stretched as net DER stands in the range of 0.260.37x during FY1214E.

Key Risks
ECU Line revenues: ECU Line growth assumes its continued penetration in th e farEast Asian countries and in the USA. Hence, revenue growth and profitability can get impacted if these expansions do not go as per plans. Delays in JNPT CFS expansion: AGLL's CFS capacity expansion by 144 K TEUs at JNPT is scheduled to be commissioned in Q2FY13. If the same gets delayed significantly, overall profitability will get impacted.

FTWZ Expansion to Lead Growth


FTWZ expansion boost earnings growth in FY1214E period: Arshiya International (ARST) is the pioneer of Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZ) concept in India. Currently, it has an operational FTWZ at Panvel Mumbai and its Khurja (UP) FTWZ is expected to be operational in Q4FY12. Furth er, ARST plans to ramp up its warehouses at both the FTWZ by tenfold to 35 wareh ouses by FY14E. Based on these expansions, we expect revenues of this high ma rgin (EBIT margins of >55%) segment to grow by >100% CAGR during FY1214E. Rail Business (Third largest operator) on expansion spree: ARST is the third largest container train operator in India with 16 operational rakes and plans to add another eight rakes during FY1314E. It has major concentration in the domestic segment where it works on longterm contract basis. We expect t hese additions to boost the segmental revenues by 38% CAGR and EBITDA CAGR of 28% during FY1214E. 3PL Business's revenue share to decline: ARST specializes in providin g integrated logistics solutions. It offers supply chain management solutions, p roject logistics and freight forwarding under its 3PL business. In FY12E, the segme ntal revenue would decline by 3.5% YoY after the sale of the Qatar and Oman units to increase focus on India focus. However, we expect the same to grow at 6% CAGR during FY1314E. High debt to stretch balance sheet in nearterm; return ratios to improve in longterm: The ongoing expansion plan across FTWZ and rail divisions would require a capex of Rs. 32.5 bn with a DER of 70%. This would stretch ARST 's net DER to 2.1 in FY13E vs. 0.7 in FY10. However, as these expans ions get commissioned and ramp up, return ratios should expand by >700 bps during FY1114E. Initiate coverage with "BUY" recommendation: We value ARST at 7x (35% discount to five year median EV/EBITDA of 11x) its FY1314E average EBITDA of Rs. 4.87 bn. We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 227 per share. Our fair value multiple is at 40% discount to ARST five year average P/E of 10x and 1 0% discount to its five year average P/B of 1.38x. Key Financials

Valuation & Recommendation


ARST's expansion in the high margin FTWZ business along with increased pen etration in the container rail operations should drive ARST's 56% EBITDA CAGR and 59% PAT CAGR during FY1214E period. We value ARST at 7x (35% discount to five year median EV/EBITDA of 11x) its FY1314E average EBITDA of Rs 4.87 bn. We initiate coverage on the stock wi th "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 227 per share. Our fair v alue multiple is at 40% discount to ARST five year average P/E of 10x and 10% discount to its five year average P/B of 1.38x. The valuation discount of 35% to its long term EV/EBITDA and 40% to its l ong term P/E multiples is to factor in the risks to earnings emanating from the delays in infrast ructure commissioning thereby impact overall revenue growth for logistics operators. Th e 40% valuation discount to ARST is higher compared to 25% discount we ha ve ascribed to AGLL and GDPL. This is account for takeoff risks associated w ith the FTWZ business. Despite these discounts, the stock looks attractive and is poised for further rererating as execution picks up in this segment.

Investment Rationale
Our investment thesis is based on following premises: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. FTWZ expansion to boost earnings growth in FY1214E period FTWZ revenues & EBIT to grow >100% CAGR during FY1214E Rail Business (Third largest operator) on expansion spree 3PL Business should continue to deliver strong margins even though we expect its share to profits to decline Ongoing capex will strain balance sheet in near term Return Ratios to surge on commissioning of ongoing capex Revenue CAGR of ~39% during FY1114E as ARST expands in FTWZ and Rail Businesses Higher EBITDA CAGR of 56% led by high margin FTWZ business expansion

1. FTWZ expansion to boost earnings growth in FY1214E period


ARST is the pioneer of Free Trade Warehousing Zones (FTWZ) concept in India. An FTWZ (treated as foreign land) helps reduce working capital requirements for the imp orter as the cargo can be kept at FTWZ and the duty is payable only when the cargo mo ves out of the FTWZ. Additionally, lot of Value Added Services (VAS) can be accomplished at an FTWZ thereby adding to the normal rental earnings. ARST's first FTWZ became operational at Panvel, Mumbai (PhaseI) in Q3FY11. It started off with three warehouses and subsequently added one more warehouse d uring Q2FY12. It also launched another FTWZ at Khurja in Uttar Pradesh, which is expe cted to be operational in Q4FY12 with one warehouse each for its Khurja FTWZ and Khurja Domestic Distripark. So far it has achieved financial closures to add four warehouses each at Panvel and Khurja during FY13E as part of its expansion plans. In FY14E, ARST expects to add five FTWZ at Panvel. Subsequently, it is awaiting financial closures for additional 14 wareho uses at Khurja facility. These expansions will increase its total warehousing ca pacity tenfold to 35 units by the end of FY14E, as against 3 warehouses by end of FY11. Exhibit 5: ARST's cumulative warehouses at Mumbai and Exhibit 6: The FTWZ share in total profitability has Khurja as planned swelled during FY12

2. FTWZ revenues & EBIT to grow >100% CAGR during FY1214E


We have factored in expansion delays in the warehouse capacities as financial closures for most of the expansions have not been achieved. Nonetheless, we expect segmental revenues to grow by >100% CAGR during FY1213E. Exhibit 7: Key assumptions for the FTWZ segment

3. Rail Business (Third largest operator) on expansion spree


ARST holds CategoryI license to operate container rails in India. It is the third largest Container Train Operator (CTO) with 16 rakes in operations after Container Corp and Gateway Distriparks. ARST generally operates in the domestic segment with only on e rake operational in the EXIM route (ChennaiBangalore). It plans to further expand its p resence in the segment as it plans to add another eight rakes during FY1314E. ARST o perates mostly on longterm contract basis with clients and hence its revenues and margins are fairly insulated, as the Company does not have to scout for cargo on its own. We have factored in rising competitions in the segment and have also accounte d for further haulage charges hikes by Indian Railways. Exhibit 8: Key assumptions for the Rail segment

4. 3PL Business should continue to deliver strong margins ev en though we expect its share to profits to decline
ARST specializes in providing integrated logistics solutions. It has strong relationship with many international logistics companies, which help ARST to d eliver 3PL solutions to its customers. It offers supply chain management soluti ons, project logistics and freight forwarding under its 3PL business. During FY0711, th e 3PL revenues grew by ~38% CAGR. During these periods, the segment has c ontributed 7590% of ARST's topline and >70% of its EBIT profits. At the end of FY11 , ARST sold off its 3PL overseas segment at Qatar and Oman to increase the m anagement's focus on the India's 3PL operations. In the absence of

46

March 22, 2012

Arshiya International business from Qatar and Oman, the 3PL revenues should decline by 3% YoY i n our view. Going forward, we expect the segment's revenues to grow at 6% CAGR during FY1314E. Exhibit 9: While revenue growth has slowed down, 3PL's EBIT margins have stabilized at higher levels

5. Ongoing capex will strain balance sheet in nearterm


ARST has a capex target of Rs. 32.5 bn to be achieved until FY13E to raise its capacity across both the FTWZ segment and rail business. ~80% of the total capex is to b e deployed in the FTWZ segment. Out of the total capex of Rs. 32.5 bn, ~70% would be fu nded through debt and the remaining would be from internal accruals. High debt levels w ould strain the balance sheet over the next two years and as the capacities gets commissi oned, interest costs should increase thereby moderating the profitability. Timely c ommissioning of these projects would however reduce the balance sheet strain in the longrun.

6. Return ratios to surge on commissioning of the ongoing capex


With the commissioning of the FTWZ warehouses (high margin business) and of the new rakes in the rail division, we expect return ratios should improve further.

7. Revenue CAGR of ~39% during FY1114E as ARST expands in FTWZ and rail businesses
We estimate revenues to grow at a 39% CAGR during FY1114E led by expansion of the FTWZ business and the rail business during FY1214E periods. Going f orward, the FTWZ business share will expand, while the 3PL business' shar e should shrink. Exhibit 12: ARST's Net sales Breakup (Rs mn) trend

8. Higher EBITDA CAGR of 56% led by high margin FT WZ business expansion


We expect EBITDA and PAT to grow at 56% and 59%, respectively during FY12 14E period. The profitability growth leads revenue growth on account of rising share of FTWZ business which should boost OPM expansion by >1,000 bps an d NPM expansion by >550 bps during FY1214E period.

Key Risks
Delays in commissioning of the FTWZs: The aggressive expansion in FTW Z segment would get impacted if ARST is not able to achieve financial closures

as per schedule. We have already factored in 20% lower capacities in the warehouse expansion for FY14E thereby minimizing impact on topline. VAS multiple expansion: We have factored in VAS multiple of 1.5x and 2.0x for FY1314E, respectively. While these are significantly lower than global average of 89x, ARST's multiple expansion can remain lower than these if its customers do

March 22, 2012

Arshiya International not subscribe for these services in additions to the normal rental usage at the FTWZ. Rail business expansion: Delays in ramping up rakes capacity by another 8 rakes during FY1314E can reduce the profit growth subsequently.

INITIATION REPORT

Strong pricing power to outsmart competition


Largest container train operator in India: Container Corporation of Ind ia (CCRI) is India's largest Container Train Operator (CTO) with container train fleet strength of 240 container trains and 61 terminals spread across India. Currently, CCRI has ~68% of total container fleet operational in India. Strategic tieups with competitors and customers to support revenu e growth: CCRI has formed various JVs across India partnering with its cu stomers as well as competing CTOs to support its revenue growth. This is a strategi c move as expansions by private CTOs have impacted CCRI's EXIM volume growt h. In the domestic train handling, CCRI's FY1112E volume growth got i mpact after the IR announced hike in commodityspecific haulage charges in Dec'10 for domestic cargoes. However, the quarterly volume trends suggest a bottomout situation in FY12E. Subsequently, we expect revenues to grow at 12% CAGR during FY1214E. Depreciated asset book and no debt provides pricing power: CCRI being in operations since 1988 has assets that were acquired at significantly lower c osts compared to its competitors and most of these assets are fully depre ciated. Further, with a net cash of Rs. 28 bn (22% of its market cap) C CRI enjoys higher pricing power in case of aggressive competition from the private counterparts. Greater focus on increasing VAS to insulate margin pressure: CCRI is increasing VAS in addition to rail transportation to attract customers as well as to protect its margins against competition and haulage charge increases. The management expects its VAS to sales ratio to increase by 200bps to 27% durin g FY1314E after increasing it by 200bps during FY12E. These initiatives should lead to PAT CAGR of 11% during FY1214E period. Initiate coverage with "BUY" recommendation: While CCRI has been th e pioneer in container rail operations in India, amidst rising competition from private operators, we expect CCRI's PAT to grow at modest 11% CAGR. We value CCRI at 13.2x its FY1314E average EPS of Rs. 84.6. Our target multiple is at 15% discount to its longterm median P/E of 15.5x. We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY " recommendation with a target price of Rs. 1,115 per share. Our fair value estimate for CCRI implies 25% discount to CCRI's long term EV/EBITDA median multiple of 10.6x. Key Financials

Company Background CCRI commenced operations after it acquired seven ICDs from the Indian Railways in 1988. Over the years, CCRI has emerged as leader in the CTO space with its vast network of 61 ICDs/CFS' connected by its railway network enriched by its fleet of 240 rakes. CCRI is accredited with introducing mass containerization in India, and has been the on the forefront for promoting container trade in India. CCRI introduced Asias biggest ICD at Dadri in 2003. Through its numerous JVs and strategic alliances it has been enriching the logistics sector in India. While privatization of container haulage by rail since 2006 has exposed it to competition, CCRI maintains its market dominance by way of its vast network of CFS/ICDs and extensive rail infrastructure.

Valuation & Recommendation


CCRI has been the pioneer in container rail operations in India. However, with rising competition from private operators, we expect CCRI's PAT CAGR at a m odest 11%. We value CCRI at 13.2x its FY1314E average EPS of Rs. 84.6. O ur target multiple is at 15% discount to its long term median P/E of 15.5x. We initiate co verage on the stock with "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 1,115 per share. The 15% valuation discount to its longterm average P/E is to factor in the risks to earnings emanating from the delays in infrastructure commissioning thereby impa cting overall revenue growth for the logistics operators. However, we have factor ed in lower discount compared to other companies (AGLL & GDPL 25% disco unt, ARST 40% discount), as CCRI is better positioned due to its panIndia presence and its strong balance sheet.

Investment Rationale
Our investment thesis is based on following premises: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Largest container train operator in India Loss in EXIM market share as competition intensifies Domestic volume growth decline in FY12E on haulage increase Strategic tieups with competitors and customers support revenue growth Revenue CAGR of 12% during FY1214E Depreciated asset book and no debt provides pricing power Greate r focus on increasing VAS to insulate margin pressure EBITDA CAGR of 12% led by stable margins and revenue growth PAT CAGR of 11% during FY1214E

1. Largest container train operator in India


CCRI is India's first and the largest Container Train Operator (CTO). The government owned PSU started operations in 1988 and today has a fleet strength of 240 container trains and 61 terminals (spread across India out of which 18 handle E XIM cargoes and 13 domestic cargoes and remaining 30 handle both EXIM an d domestic cargoes. Until 2006, it was the only container train operator and had complete monopoly in the containerized cargo rail movement. Even since the government opened up the segment for private players, CCRI's market share has reduced. Currently, it owns ~68% of total container fleet operational in India.

2. Loss in EXIM market share as competition intensifies


With the arrival of private train operators after the IR opened up the segment for private players, CCRI has faced competition and its EXIM market share has de clined. Even on the domestic container handling, it is facing competition from t he private players, as Arshiya operates 15 out of its 16 rakes in the domestic route and other CTOs also operate some of their rakes in the domestic segment.

EXIM Traffic Growth (%)

Going forward, we have factored in 6% EXIM throughput CAGR for CCRI during FY12 14E. The CCRI management expects trade volumes should pick up in FY13E, as against ~4% EXIM throughput growth expected in FY12E.

3. Domestic volume growth decline in FY12E on haulage increase; quarterly data suggest it has bottomed out
In the domestic train handling, volume growth got impact after the IR announced commodityspecific haulage charges hike for domestic cargoes in Dec'10, which i mpacted cargo volumes of all train operators both CCRI and others. This resulted in CCRI's domestic volume to decline by ~917 % YoY during the last four quarters. This led to higher availability of rakes in the EXIM t rade thereby muting EXIM realisation growth YoY during the last four quarters. However, the domestic handling has improved sequentially over the last two quarters and we expect a 10% volume growth to kick in during FY1314E thereby restori ng domestic throughput closer to FY11 levels. Domestic growth in turn should reduce competition on the EXIM route. Exhibit 8: Domestic throughput growth impacted after IR Exhibit 9: We have factored in 6% & 10% volume growth hiked commodity specific haulage charges in the EXIM & domestic segment respectively

4. Strategic tieups with competitors, customers support revenue growth


CCRI has formed JVs in the CFS and ICDs segments with its competitors as well as its customers in the shipping line to ensure steady volumes. Further, it has t erminals across India and it has allowed its competitors to use its facilities for their rakes operations. This helps CCRI increase utilisation for its infrastructure assets.

6. Depreciated asset book and no debt provides pricing power


CCRI is in operations since 1988. Hence, most of the assets are owned by CCRI are at significantly lower costs and are fully depreciated. These positions CCRI at st rong advantage compared to its new competitors who have to acquire assets at significantl y higher costs. Further, CCRI is sitting on net cash position of ~Rs. 28 bn (~Rs. 215 per share, 22% of its market cap) which provides the Company pricing power (in ter ms of volume discounts) in case of aggressive competition from the private operators. Exhibit 14: CCRI enjoys extremely lower capital charges compared to its competitors, thereby reducing its PAT margin volatility to realisation

7. Greater focus on increasing VAS to insulate margin pressure


In its bid to attract customers and also insulate operating cost pressure (mainly haulage charge increases) on its EBITDA margins, CCRI is focusing on increasing VAS' share to total revenues through higher rental income and through increased integrated ser vices offerings. During the 9MFY12, rail handling share to total revenues has co me down by ~200 bps to 75%. The management expects VAS share to further increase by 200 bps over the next two years to 27%. In this regard, CCRI is investing in logistics parks in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat.

8. EBITDA CAGR of 12% led by stable margins, revenue growth


Subsequently, we estimate stable OPM at 26% during FY1214E thereby leading to 12% EBITDA CAGR. Exhibit 15: We expect stable OPM & NPM during FY12 Exhibit 16: Thereby resulting in EBITDA CAGR of 12% 14E

9. PAT CAGR of 11% during FY1214E


We believe that lower depreciation and no interest costs should help PAT to grow at 11% CAGR (inline with EBITDA growth) during FY1214E period. Subsequently, the return ratios should also improve going forward. Exhibit 17: PAT CAGR of 11% during FY1214E

Key Risks
Increasing competition can impact revenue growth: Faster pace of rakes additions by private CTOs can further reduce CCRI's market share from 68% and hence it s volume growth across both EXIM and domestic routes. These new CTOs can also co mpete with CCRI on pricing front to gain market share, thereby impacting CCRI's revenue and PAT growth. VAS improvement: CCRI has been increasing its VAS to total sales ratio in its bid to protect revenues and margins. This strategy would require sustained capex in developing logistics parks and offering integrated solutions to its customers. Even though it is sitting with enough cash on hand, capex can be delayed in case the government does not clear its projects on time.

INITIATION REPORT

BUY

Firing on All Cylinders


CFS business is the cash cow; expanding capacities to fuel growth: We expect Gateway Distriparks' (GDPL) CFS volumes to grow at 3% and 7 % during FY1314E vs. 3% during FY12E, as new capacities get commissio ned at JNPT and Kochi. Strong relationship with shipping lines should boost the gr owth as it the shipping lines, which notify which CFS to do business with (and not t he cargo owners). Further, CFS is a cash cow for the Company as it has very high OPM of ~54% and the segment generates >80% of total PAT. Leadership position in the container train business: GDPL currently operates 21 rakes (2nd largest after Container Corp) with >85% of its capacity being deployed in the EXIM container transportation. It plans to add another 68 rakes during FY13E. We expect GDPL's rail volumes to grow by 15% and 10% during FY13E and FY14E, respectively. With its rising penetration and hig her utilisation, rail margins should expand going forward and we expect this segment to post EBITDA CAGR of > 25% during FY1314E period. Cold chain business small but niche play: This segment currently contributes 8% to net re venues and the management plans to increase its pallet strength by ~150% to 46 K pallets during FY1314E. Capex of Rs. 2.6 bn in FY1213E: We expect the Company to meet its capex requi rement of Rs. 2.6 bn mostly through its internal accruals and hence remain a net cash flow Company. Initiate coverage with "BUY" recommendation: GDPL's return ratios should exp and during FY1114E period by ~800 bps led by revenue growth and high er utilisation. We estimate PAT CAGR of 29% during FY1214E period. We value GDPL at 12x (25% discount to its six year median P/E 16x) its FY13 14E average EPS of Rs. 17. We believe that, as the return ratios expand toward the previous levels seen during FY0508, the valuation multiple will follow suit as has been the case in the past. We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 204 per share. Key Financials

Valuation & Recommendation


We expect GDPL profitability to expand across all the three business segments it is prese nt in. As GDPL is capable to meeting its capex requirements through its inter nal accruals (a net cash flow company), we do not see any major delay in ex pansion plans across the three businesses. As these expansions get commission ed over the next two years, GDPL's return ratios should remain buoyant. We value GDPL at 12x (25% discount to six year median P/E 16x) its FY13 14E average EPS of Rs17. We believe as the return ratios expand toward the previous levels s een during FY0508, the valuation multiple will follow suit as has been the case in the past. We initiate coverage on the stock with "BUY" recommendation with a target price of Rs. 204 per share. The 25% valuation discount to its longterm P/E is to factor in the risks to earnings emanating from the delays in infrastructure commissioning thereby impact overall revenue growth for logistics operators. GDPL is trading at ~33% discount to its six year Exhibit 2: ...and at ~47% discount to its six year median median fwd (1 Yr) P/E of 16x,(+1SD 6.8x)

Investment Rationale
Our investment thesis is based on following premises: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. CFS Business is the cash cow; expanding capacities to fuel growth Leadership position amongst private CTOs will further improve growth prospects The fourth ICD Faridabad to be operational in FY13E Cold Chain business - a small but niche play Sales CAGR of 19% led by traction across all the three business segments Expect EBITDA CAGR of 33% during FY1214E Return ratios to improve significantly going forward

1. CFS Biz is the cash cow; expanding capacities to fuel growth


GDPL has CFS presence at the leading container ports of India - Mumbai and Chennai. This is a high margin business, as GDPL recorded >50% OPM in the last four quarters. Currently, this segment accounts for ~40% of topline and 80% of PAT . Recently, with a decline in container volumes at JNPT, GDPL's overall volum e growth has been impacted. However, container volume handled at its other C FS i.e. Chennai & Vizag has remained stable thereby moderating the impact of volume decline at its JNPT CFS. Further, we expect GDPL's EXIM volume to pick up, as its Kochi CFS becom es operational in Q4FY12 as well as additional capacity of 60K TEUs gets com missioned at its JNPT CFS in FY13E. We have factored in CFS volume growth of 2.8%, 3% and 7%, respectively during FY1214E period.

Gateway Distriparks Despite lower volumes, the CFS segment's profitability has remained stable. This is led by higher realisation on account of higher dwell time resulting in higher rental i ncome. Also, the operational efficiency has improved which have resulted in higher EBITDA per TEU.

2. Leadership position amongst private CTOs will further improve growth prospects
GDPL's subsidiary Gateway Rail has CategoryI rail license to operate container trains. It is the second largest Container Train Operator (CTO) in India after th e largest CTO Container Corporation of India (owned by Govt of India) and hence is the largest priva te CTO in India. In 2009, Blackstone invested Rs. 3 bn in the subsidiary throu gh cumulative Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS), which helped the rail divis ion in reducing its debt levels thereby helping the division report profits (of Rs. 38 mn) in Q4FY11 for the first time in three years of its operations. GDPL currently operates 21 rakes with >85% of its capacity being deployed in the EXI M container transportation. It plans to add another 68 rakes in FY13E. We expect GDPL 's rail volumes to grow by 28%, 15% & 10%, respectively during FY1214E period.

Rail EBITDA (Rs/ TEU) RHS

As GDPL has been able to improve its asset sweating in the rail business, its EBITDA per TEU has increased despite rise in haulage charges by the Indian Railways. While the rail business comprises ~50% of total revenues, its PAT c ontribution is ~15% of total PAT. This is on account of lower OPM of ~17% v/s

66

March 22, 2012

Gateway Distriparks ~55% OPM in the CFS business. Additionally, rail business is capital intensive due to acq uisition of rakes, license fee and ICDs. However, with its rising penetration and higher uti lisation, GDPL's rail margins should expand going forward and we expect this segment to post EBITDA CAGR of > 25% during FY1314E periods.

3. The fourth ICD Faridabad to be operational in FY13E


GDPL has three rail linked ICDs at Kalamboli (Mumbai), Garhi (Gurgaon) and Ludhiana. These ICDs have helped GDPL connect the NorthWest hinterland and hence GDPL has been able to gather high EXIM rail handling. Going forward, the Asaoti (Farid abad) ICD is expected to be connected by road in Q4FY12 and by rail in Q2FY13, whic h will help GDPL to further increase its services on the EXIM route.

4. Cold chain business - a small but niche play


GDPL currently owns 53.1% stake in Snowman Frozen Foods, which has ~18K pallets with cold warehousing facilities across India. This is a niche segment with strong growth potential. Currently the cold chain business accounts for 8% of GDPL's total sales and 3% of total PAT. Sales grew by more than 50% YoY during the last four quarters and the management plans to raise its pallet capacity by ~150% during FY1314E to 46 K pallets.

Key Risks
CFS revenue growth largely dependent on JNPT expansion: JNPT CFS currently accounts for ~66% total CFS handled by GDPL during the last four quarters. A s GDPL has strong client relationship at JNPT, timely expansion of 60K TEUs will result in faster volume growth as against ramping of business at Kochi (lo wer EXIM trade currently), where GDPL is adding 50K TEUs capacity in Q4F Y12. Hence, our volume growth assumptions of 3% and 7% during FY1314E c an be impacted downwards in case the expansion is delayed. Haulage charge increase by Indian Railways: GDPL's rail business is in growt h phase and is trying to gather new business. Hence, GDPL may not be able to fully pass o n the rising haulage charges to its customers thereby impacting its margin expansion and profit growth.
