1
Bharat Road Network Ltd (BRNL), is a BOT company, which is focused on
development, implementation, operation and maintenance of roads and highway
projects. The company manages over `6,685cr of road assets including five
operating projects and one under construction project aggregating to 2,
km, with average residual life of approximately 18 years and 6 months.
Portfolio of roads across India: BRNL has a project each in Ke
Pradesh, Haryana, UP and Odisha and one more project is under
implementations in Maharashtra. While all the five of the six projects are
operational, only two of them are under final CoD, and the balance three
under provisional CoD. With f
inal CoD coming for the other projects the revenue
visibility could improve to some extent.
Weak reported financials: Only two
of BRNL’s projects are under final CoD, 3 are
under provisional CoD, however, on receiving the final CoD it is likely that t
revenue growth of the company would accelerate. Though, we acknowledge the
fact that there are enough levers for revenue growth in the future, the reported
numbers of the operational projects look weak with revenue of `
EBITDA of `6.8cr. At the net level, the company reported a loss of `73.9cr.
All the SPVs/ Subsidiaries have made losses in the last two years:
commencement of the commercial operations the subsidiaries and SPVs of BRNL
have not been making adequate cash flows
and in the last two years all of them
have been making losses. The combined losses of all of them at SPV level stood at
`
149.7cr for FY2017. While there is a possibility of financials improving with
higher traffic growth, continuous losses can put further
pressure on the financials
of BRNL.
Outlook Valuation:
BRNL is present only in the BOT project segment and lack of
presence in the EPC segment makes its highly dependent on the traffic growth
and price increase for improving its profitability. Though BRNL
spread across India, the past track record of the numbers doesn’t give enough
confidence about sharp improvement in the near term. At
`195-205, the stock is offered at 2.6x its Pre Issue BV and 1.5x-1.6x its
BV. Even established players like IRB,
with strong portfolios are trading at similar
valuations and hence,
we believe the issue price leaves limited scope for further
appreciation. Hence, we have a NEUTRAL rating on the issue.
