PRESS RELEASE

 

HC QUASHED CANCELLATION OF MINE: ULTRATECH CEMENT

 

March 26, 2015:  

 

Jaipur, Mar 26 Ultratech Cement today said the Rajasthan High Court has “quashed and set aside” a state government order relating to cancellation of a limestone mine owned by a subsidiary of the company.

 

“The Rajasthan High Court has by its order dated March 25, 2015 quashed and set aside the order relating to cancellation of the mine and all consequential actions of the Government of Rajasthan and has directed to hand over the possession of mining lease to Gotan Limestone Khanij Udyog Private Limited forthwith, the company said in a filing to the BSE.

 

The court verdict will enable Gotan Limestone Khanij Udyog, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ultratech Cement, take possession and operate the mines, Ultratech said.

 

The company had received an order from the Mines Department of the state government in December last year about cancellation of “transfer and mining lease of the limestone mines in the name of ...GKUPL” alleging procedural irregularities.

 

In August, the Rajasthan Anti—Corruption Bureau also had filed an FIR against the Mines Department, former shareholders of Gotan Limestone Khanij Udyog and directors of UltraTech Cement for alleged illegal transfer of a limestone mine in Gotan area in Nagaur district in 2012.

 

The Aditya Birla Group firm challenged the order in the Rajasthan High Court which ordered the state government to hand over the possession of mining lease to Gotan Limestone Khanij Udyog.

 

Shares of Ultratech Cement today jumped by about 1.08 per cent to close at Rs. 2,798 per scrip on the BSE.

Mumbai: Ultratech Cement Ltd, India’s biggest maker of the material, is looking to buy the local assets of Holcim Ltd and Lafarge SA, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

 

Kumar Mangalam Birla, who controls Ultratech, is waiting to see what will be on sale as the two European companies prepare to dispose of plants, the person said, asking not to be named because the matter is private. Holcim and Lafarge, which agreed to a merger last month, may divest in Brazil, India, China, Canada and the US, Lafarge chief executive officer Bruno Lafont told investors on 7 April.

 

“The ready availability of assets may help the Indian firm gain market share without having to build greenfield factories,” said Rashesh Shah, an analyst at ICICI Securities Ltd in Mumbai. Birla’s plan also underscores optimism among investors that a stable government after elections this month will spur a revival in the $1.8 trillion economy as it crawls out of the slowest pace of expansion in a decade.

 

“Holcim-Lafarge’s asset shedding is a big opportunity for Ultratech to bolster its market share,” said Shah. “Being the largest player in the sector with a healthy balance sheet, it is a natural buyer of good assets on the block.”

 

 

India capacity

 

Jona, Switzerland-based Holcim and Paris-based Lafarge are preparing to sell assets with €5 billion ($6.9 billion) in revenue to win regulatory approval after announcing plans to form the world’s largest cement maker with combined annual sales of $40 billion. The total cement capacity in India held by the two and units is about 62 million tonnes.

 

Mumbai-based Ultratech plans to add 20 million tonnes to its current 58 million tonnes capacity in the next three years, for which a few buyouts will be necessary, the person said. The company is also scouting for assets and sites to build plants in Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Oman, the Philippines and Malaysia. It is already present in the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Bahrain.

 

Pragnya Ram, group spokeswoman, didn’t respond to an email seeking comments on the company’s plan.

 

“There’s a huge market interest and we are currently working on the filing and divestment packages,” Eike Christian Meuter, Holcim’s Zurich-based spokesman wrote in an email on Monday, without elaborating. Elodie Woillez, Lafarge’s spokeswoman in Paris, declined to comment.

 

Jaiprakash unit

 

Birla, whose net worth is $8.8 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, took over as chairman of the $40 billion Aditya Birla group in 1995. He is seeking to boost revenue of the carbon black-to-cellular service conglomerate by 63% to $65 billion by 2015.

 

In September, Ultratech bought the 4.8 million tonne Gujarat unit of Jaiprakash Associates Limited for an enterprise value of Rs.38000.000 Million in Birla’s biggest acquisition in more than two years.

 

The company was in talks to buy a second cement unit in Himachal Pradesh from India’s only Formula One track builder, the person said. The negotiations are on hold as Jaiprakash’s plant is awaiting some approvals.

 

‘Extremely attractive’

 

Ultratech’s net income increased almost 61% over the past three years and sector analysts expect it to rise by 51% in the next two years, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shares have advanced 15% this year to Rs.2,030.80, compared with a 6% gain in the benchmark BSE Sensex.

 

“We have the balance sheet, the wherewithal, the cash flows and knowhow of running a cement unit,” Birla had said in a September interview with Bloomberg TV India, signaling his intent to expand through acquisitions. “Therefore, it is extremely attractive for us to expand in this market.”

 

His comments contrast those he had made six months earlier to the same television channel, when he said he would rather invest in countries including Brazil and Indonesia as frequent policy changes at home discouraged spending by companies.

 

Investors are betting elections, set to end 12 May, will herald a new government that will cut red tape and revive projects that are awaiting land acquisition to fuel supply. Most opinion polls show voters will punish the ruling Congress party after it failed to rein in graft and inflation. The surveys predict Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) winning the most seats in parliament, while falling short of a majority.

 

Buoying demand

 

“Brownfield projects are expected to take off in a significant way after elections,” said Deep Narayan Mukherjee, a Mumbai-based director at India Ratings and Research, the local unit of Fitch Ratings Limited. “All this is likely to buoy cement demand in the coming quarters.”

 

Capacity addition is crucial for Ultratech to retain its leadership position, said Shah. In a $1 billion reorganization of its Indian businesses in July, Holcim said one of its subsidiaries, Ambuja Cements Limited, would buy out the Swiss cement marker’s stake in the other, ACC Limited, effectively bringing both under a single management.

 

In India, the merger will create the largest market share in the eastern states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and northern Odisha, making these the probable hotspots for asset sales, according to Mukherjee. Unlike southern India that suffers from oversupply, the eastern region has sufficient demand, making these assets among the most lucrative, he said.

 

Given the way Indian cement industry has been consolidating, it is reasonable to anticipate that the sector leaders will do something, Mukherjee said. The big boys in India will be pushed into action when the Holcim-Lafarge assets come up for sale.

 

 

ULTRATECH CEMENT PLANS NEXT PHASE OF GREENFIELD EXPANSION

JAN 16 2015

Firm has plans to set up two greenfield grinding units in Bihar and West Bengal, according to an official

Mumbai : Kumar Mangalam Birla-controlled UltraTech Cement Limited has charted out its next phase of greenfield expansion after a period of aggressive acquisitions over the last two years.

 

Following its takeover of two cement plants owned by the Jaypee group, UltraTech has plans to set up two greenfield grinding units in Bihar and West Bengal, according to O.P. Puranmalka, managing director of UltraTech. “We will also build a bulk terminal in Maharashtra and increase capacity at our existing plant in Rajasthan,” he said.

 

While the capacity expansion will strengthen UltraTech’s top spot in the industry, the bulk terminal will help it to cut transport and logistics costs.

 

The company has an installed capacity of 62 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of grey cement. It has 12 integrated plants, one clinker plant, 16 grinding units and six bulk terminals.

 

With the Jaypee acquisition last month, its cement capacity in India will increase to nearly 67 mtpa. The capacity will stand raised to 71 mtpa by 2016 once projects under implementation are completed.

 

On 23 December, UltraTech said it will buy two cement plants and related power assets owned by Jaiprakash Associates Limited (JAL) in Madhya Pradesh for Rs.54000.000 Million. In September 2013, UltraTech had acquired Jaypee’s Gujarat unit for Rs.38000.000 Million.

 

Demand for cement has been sluggish in the last few years due to a slowdown in the economy and in the infrastructure sector.

 

However, cement demand is expected to revive on expectations of a pick up in growth and investment starting fiscal year 2015-16. India is expected to grow at 5.5% in fiscal 2015 after two years of sub-5% growth, the government said in its mid-year economic review 19 December.

 

Growth in 2015-16 is seen at about 6.5%, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) projections. The government is also trying to kick-start stalled infrastructure projects, which could trigger demand for commodities such as cement.

 

UltraTech’s recent acquisition and expansion will bode well for the company’s volume and profit growth, say analysts.

 

For the fiscal third-quarter for instance, while the industry volume growth is expected to moderate to 4-5%, UltraTech would lead growth at 9% partly led by new capacities, said a 7 January report by Religare Research.

 

UltraTech’s plan to construct a bulk terminal in Maharashtra will also help the company control high costs, said analysts. A bulk terminal specialises in handling and storing non-containerized bulk cargo. Transport and logistics costs for the cement industry are as high as 20%, the highest among all major industries, according to property consutant Knight Frank.

 

“The bulk terminals will help the firm to use their captive modes of warehousing and transportation, rather then using third-party logistics providers which will aid them to cut costs,” said an analyst with a domestic brokerage. He requested anonymity since he is not authorized to speak to the media.

 

But there may be some downside from the company’s expansion plans as well.

 

According to Nitin Bhasin and Achint Bhagat, analysts at Ambit Capital Private Limited, while the increased capacity will allow UltraTech capture any increase in demand, the return on capital may be compromised. “...the company has a targeted plan to increase capacities further either organically or inorganically, which could restrict its return on capital employed (ROCE) expansion even though it may enjoy superlative volume growth,” they said in an October report.

 

Ambit expects the company’s ROCE to improve only marginally and remain at 10-12% in fiscal year 2015 and 2016—lower than the last five-year average of 15% and materially lower than the peak ROCE of 18-25% seen during fiscals 2007 and 2009. ROCE measures how efficiently profits are being extracted from capital investments.

 

Meanwhile, the firm’s debt levels are the highest since 2009. The recent acquisitions have pushed up the company’s standalone debt to Rs.78120.000 Million, as of 30 September 2014, the highest since March 2009. Debt levels have jumped 78% compared to a year ago.

 

But the management is not concerned. Puranmalka said the firm’s balance sheet is strongly poised at a comfortable net debt-to-equity ratio of less than 0.5 times and enjoys a “AAA” credit rating. “All of UltraTech’s expansion plans are in full swing and do not pose any threat to the company for financing.”

 

According to Capitaline, the company’s debt-to-equity ratio, on a standalone basis, as of 30 September, was at 0.43 times.
