Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1965 and it is a diversified natural resources company. It is engaged in mining of zinc, copper, iron ore and aluminum. It also generates power and produces oil and gas.

 

As per the financials of March 2017, the company has reported a growth of 6.99% in its revenue as compared to its previous year’s revenue and maintained a good profit margin of 28.72% during the year.

 

Rating takes into consideration the company’s established track record of business operations marked by healthy net worth base along with comfortable debt coverage indicators and good liquidity position.

 

Rating continuous to reflect its diversified business profile supported by its promoter’s industry experience along with cost leadership in zinc and oil and gas segments.

 

Price is quoted fairly high on Stock Exchanges. (Share are traded at a price of INR 291.90 against its face value of INR 1 on BSE).

 

However, rating strength is partially offset by susceptibility to volatility in commodity prices, regulatory risks in the iron ore business, and project execution risks associated with sizeable capital expenditure programs in its aluminum and power projects.

 

As per quarterly financials of December 2017, the company has achieved a sales turnover of INR 121850 million and reported fair profit margin of 5.56%.

 

Payments terms seems to be regular as per commitments.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered good for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

Each of the reportable segments derives its revenues from these main products and hence these have been identified as reportable segments by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Earnings before Interest, Tax and Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) amounts are evaluated regularly by the Board, which has been identified as the CODM, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

NOTES:

 

1.     The above results of Vedanta Limited ("the Company") for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2017 have been reviewed by the Audit Committee on January 30, 2018 and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 31, 2018.The statutory auditors have carried out limited review of the same.

 

2.     With effect from July 01, 2017, Goods and Service tax ('GST') has been implemented which has replaced several indirect taxes including excise duty. While Ind-AS required excise duty to be included while computing revenues, GST is required to be excluded from revenue computation. Accordingly 'Revenue from Operations (Net of excise duty)' has been additionally disclosed in these results to enhance comparability of financial information.

 

3.     Till March 31, 2017, proved and probable reserves (or 2P reserves) on entitlement interest basis were being considered for providing depletion on oil and gas assets. As per the Guidance Note on Accounting for Oil and Gas Producing Activities issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, applicable from April 1, 2017, proved and developed reserves (or 1P reserves) on working interest basis are to be considered for computing depletion. The change has been applied prospectively and as a result, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is higher by INR 50.000 million and profit after tax is lower by INR 30.000 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is lower by INR 43 Crore and INR 1150.000 million and profit after tax is higher by INR 230.000 million and INR 750.000 million for quarter ended September 30, 2017 and nine months ended December 31, 2017 respectively.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

NEXT TWO-THREE YEARS CRUCIAL FOR GROWTH: VEDANTA LIMITED

July 14, 2017

MUMBAI: Even as CEO Tom Albanese prepares to bid farewell to the company, Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Limited, said that in the next two-three years, the company would be 50% larger than what it is now.

The Anil Agarwal -led diversified natural resources major said that the company is in "a sweet spot" in terms of its balance-sheet and management.

Our balance-sheet is one of the strongest in the sector and in all Indian corporates," executive chairman of Vedanta, Navin Agarwal said on the sidelines of the company's AGM on Friday

Agarwal also said that greater efforts are needed for oil and gas exploration in India and the company aspires to meet 50% of the country's oil production.

Vedanta has reduced its gross debt by INR 100000.000 million in the last 15 month and is also beefing up its renewable offering and evaluating projects to diversify into the ferrous metals segment. Agarwal waved off concerns regarding availability of bauxite for the company. "The value lost in terms of having our own bauxite mine versus sourcing from Chhattisgarh as well as importing, is not much. Hence it should not be looked at as the be-all-and-end-all," Agarwal said.

The company also cleared its position in the Cairn Energy tax case saying that it has no liability from the Cairn Energy tax case.

"All segments of Vedanta's businesses are profitable, the only concerns were with Balco, owing to capacity ramp-up, which is now completed," CFO Arun Kumar said.

The company has said that they will find a replacement for Albanese by the end of August and it could be an external or internal candidate.

VEDANTA SELLS $1 BN BONDS AT 6.125%; TO REFINANCE $1.8 BN DEBT

 

AUGUST 04, 2017

 

On the current sale, it received strong investor interest and is favourably priced in comparison to its previous bond offering in January 2017 at 6.375 percent for a 5.5-year maturity.

London-headquartered Anil Agarwal-promoted Vedanta Resources today sold USD 1 billion of 7-year bonds at 6.125 percent and said the proceeds will be used to refinance USD 1.8 billion of its higher priced existing debt.

"Vedanta today priced its RegS bonds (dollar debt sold to non-American investors) at 6.125 percent. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily to fund its offers to purchase for cash some its outstanding 2019 USD 7,747,72,000 bonds priced at 6 percent and another 2021 USD 9,00,000,000 bonds priced at 8.25 percent and also to repay other existing debt," Vedanta said in a statement.

Of this, it has already received and accepted for purchase USD 5,22,513,000 of the 2019 bonds and USD 2,29,843,000 of the 2021 bonds.

"This comprehensive refinancing plan announced earlier is leverage-neutral and is funded through a mix of bonds and term-loans. It has received commitments from global and Indian banks for USD840 million of term loans with a final maturity of five years," the company said.

On the completion of the bond sale, Vedanta will proactively refinance part of its 2019 and 2021 bond maturities and is expected to have no significant bank loan repayments due over the next 18 months. These transactions will extend its average debt maturity by 1.5 years and lower its average cost of borrowing, it said.

On the current sale, it received strong investor interest and is favourably priced in comparison to its previous bond offering in January 2017 at 6.375 percent for a 5.5-year maturity.

The bonds, which will be traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange, have been rated B3 by Moody's and B+ by S&P.

"The transaction is in line with our stated financial strategy to strengthen our balance sheet. We've taken a number of proactive measures last year to extend maturities, optimise our funding structure and as a result have created value for all stakeholders," company chairman Anil Agarwal said on the completion of the bond sale.

Barclays, Credit Suisse, DBS Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, JP Morgan and Standard Chartered acted as joint global coordinators, while Axis Bank, Barclays, Credit Suisse, DBS Bank. First Abu Dhabi Bank, ICICI Bank, JP Morgan and Standard Chartered as joint lead managers and joint book runners.
