Better top line, PAT growth boosted by lower taxes!Rating: BUY | CMP: Rs 235.25 | Target Price: Rs 310 | Upside: 31.77%ITC limited reported healthy Q3FY20 numbers. Total income grew by over 6% YoY while net profit registered growth a tad over 29%. Bottom line growth was primarily on account of lower taxes as the company availed new tax structure. Blended realization for cigarettes grew by 5.29% which accounts for around 40% of top line while; its contribution to segmental revenue was 82%, clocking 6.40% YoY growth. Agri-business revenue was up 10.43% YoY while it’s segmental revenue contribution rose 16.77% YoY. Paperboards, Paper & Packaging Segment Revenue witnessed muted growth on a relatively firm base due to slowdown in the FMCG and liquor industry and depressed realisations on softening of global pulp prices. Hotels segment’s revenue was up 22.2% and EBITDA 40.1% YoY, driven by strong growth in existing properties and robust performance of new properties. Overall, it was a operationally strong performance by ITC amidst continued slowdown in FMCG industry. Recommendation: AccumulateWe had initiated buy recommendation on ITC at Rs. 242 for a target price per share of Rs. 310, valuing the company at PER of 23x on FY21e, which is a 15% discount to its normal forward PE multiples per share. Valuation has become attractive, after the recent price correction of around 22% from peak levels. A high dividend pay-out ratio is translating into a dividend yield of around 2.37%, which makes it appealing in the present market scenario. We recommend buy on ITC.

Key Takeaways on Union Budget 2020!BUDGET OVERVIEW The Union Budget for fiscal year 2020-21 has laid significant focus on improving agricultural economy, upliftment of farmers, strengthening the rural economy and related infrastructure. Focus has also been laid towards continuing several infrastructure initiatives such as waterways, roads, and seaways. Several positives were offered for small businesses, MSMEs and investors (other than listed). Higher limits for audit (increased from Rs10mn to Rs 50mn) where cash transactions are less than 5% of turnover, and Higher turnover limits for starts-ups for the initial 3 year tax exemption limit, followed by higher number of years for claiming deduction from 7 years to 10 years. The budget also sought to give significant impetus to addressing environmental and climate change challenges with continued focus on solar power. We also expect the pace of FGD (Flu Gas Desulphurisation) installation to pick up for thermal power plants to make them more environmental friendly. The bond markets could see a flurry of activity with certain government securities being opened up 100% for non-domestic investors. Even corporate bond investment limit for FPIs has been revised from 9% to 15%. This could keep bond markets excited in the weeks to come. The much anticipated reform of abolishing Dividend Distribution Tax was announced with the tax liability on dividends shifting to receiver. This is beneficial to corporates and shall have positive cash flow impact. This will also offer leeway to companies to distribute higher dividend and reduce the overall tax outgo for the corporate (and ultimately cash flows). The individual shall pay tax on dividend income at the applicable marginal income tax rate. However, the budget falters a bit in direct taxation, where, despite making the right noises to simplify the personal income tax structure, the budget proposals appear to have made them more complicated with multiple slabs. Against the old personal tax structure, the new structure does not leave meaningful incremental cash flows in the hands of tax payers. This therefore makes the exercise unviable for tax payers already using the benefits of Section 6C in their tax planning. We therefore see status quo for tax payers in not adopting the new tax slabs except for HUFs. BUDGET ESTIMATES The budget projections are based on a nominal GDP growth of 10%YoY with a marginally softer net tax (centre) /GDP ratio of 7.27%. The fiscal deficit for 2019-20 has been revised to 3.8%, against our expectation of 3.7% while the budgeted fiscal deficit for next year has been pegged at 3.5%. The estimate for non-debt capital receipts at Rs2.1tn assumes a 2.2x increase YoY. The receipts fine print shows Rs1.2tn from disinvestment receipts. It may be noted that the disinvestment target was revised from Rs1,050bn to Rs650bn in 2019-20 RE. The disinvestment target has thus spilled over into fiscal 2020-21. Notable disinvestment candidates include Air India and BPCL. Another Rs900bn is expect from disinvestment of government stake in financial institutions. We believe this is attributable to LIC IPO and privatisation of IDBI Bank in which GoI owns 47.1% stake (current market capitalisation Rs387bn). The net tax revenues estimated for FY21E are a shade below the budget estimates for FY20 and 8.7% higher than RE for FY20. The interest payments estimate also appears higher (13.3%YoY, Rs830bn) compared to increase in fiscal deficit (3.8%YoY, Rs300bn) Overall, the net tax revenue estimate appears conservative and any tax buoyancy due to economic recovery can potentially reduce fiscal deficit.

SIAM, the automotive industry association, had highlighted the slowdown in the sector and the resultant job losses. The cost of ownership is already higher by ~10% and with the introduction of BSVI emission norms, its is expected to rise by another ~10%. To boost demand, the industry had requested for a GST cut from 28% to 18%. Another measure sought in the Budget was a favourble (incentive-based) scrappage policy. The M&HCV segment has reported a decline of ~40% YoY in FY20 and was desperately seeking some government intervention to fuel demand. The governing body had requested for a 50% cut in registration charges as well. Under the green mobility push, the industry was hoping for a cut in the import duty of lithium-ion cells. None of the above measures/requests had any mention in the Union Budget. Our View: Overall, with no major incentive or boost in personal income, the auto industry may continue to struggle in the near term. We currently have a SELL rating on Maruti Suzuki and Eicher Motors in the OEM space (rich valuations). We are hopeful for a rural recovery due to the higher acreage under rabi cultivation. We believe the biggest beneficiaries of the same will be Hero MotoCorp, TVS Motors, Escorts, VST Tillers and Swaraj Engines.   AGRI - INPUTS Fertilizer subsidy reduced to INR713b (Impact: Neutral) The government has reduced the fertilizer subsidy to Rs713bn from Rs800bn last year. The urea subsidy has been reduced to Rs478bn (from Rs536bn) while the nutrient-based subsidy has come down to Rs235bn (from Rs264bn). However, given the fact that the prices of key inputs have softened in 9MFY20, the decline in subsidy would not put significant pressure on the working capital of fertilizer companies. The price of phosphoric acid is down 12.1% YoY, ammonia is down 18.9% YoY, sulphuric acid is down 25.4% YoY, and rock phosphate is down 11.6% YoY. We, therefore, believe that the reduced subsidy would be neutral for the industry. However, any upward movement in input cost would potentially stress the working capital and require upward revision in subsidy. Curb the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and focus on zero-budget farming (Impact: Negative) The government has increased its focus on promoting traditional organic and other innovative fertilizers with a view to curb the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. The announcement comes amid the government’s continued focus on zero-budget farming, which promotes the use of own seeds and natural manure rather than using fertilizers and agrochemicals. We believe the announcement will have a negative impact on the fertilizer and agrochemical industry over the long term. However, the concept of zero-budget farming is still at a nascent stage and has been receiving mixed reviews from the farmer community, as the lack of chemical inputs puts pressure on yield and consequently production. Other key announcements (Impact: Positive) The government has proposed the creation of agri-warehouses. As of now, India has an estimated capacity of 162mn million tonnes of agri-warehousing, cold storage, reefer van facilities, etc. NABARD will undertake an exercise to map and geo-tag them. We believe this is a positive step for farmers as agri-warehouses help in the price stabilization of agricultural commodities by keeping the tendency to make post-harvest sale under check. The NABARD re-finance scheme is proposed to be further expanded with an agriculture credit target of Rs15 lakh crore for 2020-21, up from Rs12 lakh crore last year. A total allocation of Rs2.83 lakh crore has been made for rural development and agricultural activities. An amount of Rs1.6 lakh crore has been earmarked for agriculture, irrigation and allied activities, while an amount of Rs1.23 lakh crore has been earmarked for rural development and Panchayati Raj.

On comparing the revised budget FY20 to actuals for FY19 (~Rs4,000bn), the growth stood at ~11%. This indicates openness to spend more, in case of need.  Allocation towards pensions saw a sharp increase of 14% YoY. Of the total budgeted defence capital outlay in FY21E at ~Rs1,130bn vs FY20 revenue budget estimate of ~Rs 1,100bn saw ~3% jump. On comparing the revenue budget FY20 to actuals for FY19 (~Rs952bn), the growth stood at ~16%. Within capital outlay, if one excludes allocations towards land, construction activities, non-core items, then the FY21E budget at~Rs835bn will see 3% decrease vs ~Rs861bn of revenue budget for FY20. On comparing the revenue budget for FY20 to actuals for FY19 (~Rs735bn), the growth stood at ~17%. Within capital outlay, if one excludes allocations towards land, construction activities, non-core items, barring, Indian Army saw 10% YoY higher allocation; both Indian Navy and Indian Air Force will see lower capital allocation by 12% and 6% respectively vs the FY20 revenue budget. This has to be read with the fact that IAF saw ~22% increase in allocation (FY20 revenue budget vs FY19 actuals) and Indian Navy saw ~19% increase in allocation (FY20 revenue budget vs FY19 actuals). HEALTHCARE Under the Ayushman Bharat scheme, 20,000 hospitals are already empanelled and the government plans to set up more hospitals under PPP mode across 112 Tier II & III cities which dont have Ayushman Bharat empanelled hospitals. Expansion of Jan Aushadhi Kendras offering 2,000 medicines and 300 surgical procedures to all districts by 2024. Currently, 5,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras are reported. “TB harega, Desh Jitega” campaign launched to end tuberculosis (TB) by 2025. The government has provided Rs69,000cr for these initiatives, which includes Rs6,400crs for the ‘Prime Minister Jan Arogya Yojana’ (PMJAY). The government plans to promote animal healthcare, by eliminating foot and mouth disease, brucellosis in cattle and also peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in sheep and goats by 2025. Views: We do not see any near-term positive impact for the healthcare and diagnostics sector in the current budget. Jan Aushadhi Kendras currently have a lot of non-operational stores and facing inventory issues. TB drug manufacturers such as Lupin, Cipla, and J&J (with its new MDR-TB drug, in partnership with Dishman) could see incremental growth with government orders for the TB mission. However, it will not add any incremental growth to the company. Promotion of animal healthcare would be positive for animal & poultry vaccine and other product manufacturers such as Hester Biosciences and Sequent Scientific. Stock-specific (Positive): Hester Biosciences, Sequent Scientific, Apollo Hospitals, Narayana Hrudayalaya. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The government plans to come out with a policy to promote data centre parks for development of big data technologies. Our view: We believe an important aspect needs to be the focus on skills development in these technologies, given that IT firms face a shortage of digital talent. From a long-term perspective, the move could potentially benefit all IT firms including TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Technologies and Tech Mahindra, along with mid-sized firms like LTI, Mindtree, Persistent and Hexaware, given the incremental focus on growing their digital businesses. At present, dividend is taxed in the hands of company distributing such dividend. The government has proposed to change this to taxiing dividends in the hands of shareholders. Our view: This will lead to rise in cash balances for IT firms from FY21 onward, given savings on DDT. It could also lead to IT firms giving higher dividends in Q4FY20 prior to the new rule taking effect from April 1, 2020. Companies like TCS could award a higher payout, which will benefit minority shareholders as well as promoter Tata Sons, with tax not required to be paid by the shareholders and promoters at their end before the new ruling takes effect. From FY21, dividend payout ratios of IT firms could also rise with no tax incidence at the company end, along with strong cash flows. This move is likely to benefit all IT majors.   LIFE INSURANCE New personal taxation regime does not appear beneficial to tax payers who are already claiming deductions under one or multiple exemptions (~17) available under Section 80 of the IT Act. For the individual taxpayer for whom the new tax regime is beneficial, it in no way means that the individual tax payer shall stop saving or buying new insurance / investment products On the contrary, the tax payer is likely to continue with her savings while exploring means to either save or spend the tax savings. We therefore believe the new tax option will not necessarily entail a mass shift away from life insurance / tax savings products. Budget estimates total revenue foregone on account of the new tax regime at Rs400bn. In other words, this is the tax savings in the hands of the individual tax payers, an opportunity to leverage it into either consumer loans or convert into incremental savings. Without doubt, the budget proposals appear to have taken some sheen off life insurance as tax savings instruments. This is likely to be reflected in the seasonality given life insurers collect 1/3rd of their premiums in Q4. We see multiple outcomes for life insurers in near term: It shall be interesting to watch the persistency as well as new business trends within life insurance sector in near future. We believe life insurance companies in near future are likely to re-focus messaging on 'insurance', 'protection', and 'life events' to drive sales. New business for 15 of the 23 private insurers making up ~15% of the private market share could see heavy slowdown. These players have already struggled to scale and may be forced to consolidate. Product innovation would be the main driver for the sector as savings products would need to be sold as strong investment products with protection features rather than mere tax-saving vehicles . It would be interesting to watch how slowdown in new business premiums impacts distributor commissions and therefore agency tie-ups On balance, we feel the market reaction to life insurers' stock prices has been extreme and any dips should be utilised as buying opportunities. We reiterate 'BUY' on IPRU. Our current target price is Rs642 (3.2x FY21E EV per share).

The development will also boost demand for incremental supply from the upcoming capacity addition in the sector. We see this as positive for key steel companies including JSPL and JSW Steel. This is a positive development for steel pipe and tubes manufacturers, which are likely to see demand from the government’s plan to provide piped water supply to all households, under Jal Jeevan Mission and with the expansion of the national gas grid. This will be a positive for pipe manufacturers including Ratnamani Metals, Man Industries, Welspun Corp, Jindal Saw and Maharashtra Seamless.  Key pipe manufacturers Product portfolio Sector play Ratnamani Metals Stainless steel, nickel alloy pipes and coating solutions Oil & Gas, Water Man Industries Large diameter Carbon Steel Line Pipes Gas, Petrochemical Products and Potable Water Welspun Corp.

This scheme is available for NBFC assets purchased by SCBs and was done to offer liquidity to NBFCs. The guarantee is available for a period up to 24months and for aggregate purchases of Rs1tn. To further this support NBFCs under partial credit guarantee scheme of providing liquidity, a mechanism would be devised. Government will offer support by guaranteeing securities so floated. Under the existing partial credit guarantee scheme, the government offers one time guarantee upto 24 months for assets originated before Mar'19 and for a cumulative amount of Rs1tn. View: Positive Financing conditions have been normalising for NBFCs and additional measures that the likely to be announced shall help to further ease the operating environment for NBFCs. A number of small as well as large NBFCs are likely to benefit from this measure. Our conversation with select NBFCs suggest the tie-ups for asset sales to SCBs are almost in place and FY21E shall witness a meaningful activity on this front. Measure: Agricultural credit target for FY21 set at Rs15tn. View: Neutral This is in-line with the higher agricultural credit targets usually set in the union budget every year. Measure: NBFCs eligible for effecting NPA recoveries under SARFAESI Act Limit for NBFC eligibility for debt recovery under the SARFAESI Act to be reduced from Rs5bn to Rs1bn and loan size from the existing Rs10mn to Rs 5mn. View: Neutral The experience of recoveries through SARFAESI has been patchy although this incremental measure is a welcome tool for addressing recovery efforts. The proposal lowers the bar and makes more NBFCs eligible to use this mechanism. Measure: Invoice financing through TReDS Amendments to be made to Factor Regulation Act 2011 to enable NBFCs to extend invoice financing to MSMEs through TReDS. View: Positive The volumes in TReDS have been going up ever since the introduction of this mechanism. Presently, invoice financing is done by banks to MSMEs. The participation of NBFCs shall further provide depth to the market. Invoicemart, the largest TReDS platform, has reported a throughput of ~Rs60bn in the two and half years of operations with 4,320 participants on its platform.
