Aditya Birla Nuvo Ltd (ABNL)’s Q2FY2015 result is not directly comparable on a
Y-o-Y basis, as the last year’s performance included ITES business, which was
sold off in May 2014. Excluding the impact and on a like-to-like basis, the
overall performance was very healthy with a revenue growth of 15% YoY. Led by
efficiencies in business verticals, the overall operating profit grew by 34% YoY,
while the net earnings grew surged by 75% on a Y-o-Y basis. On a reported basis,
the revenue grew by 1.6% YoY; while operating profit and the net earnings grew
by 26% and 56% respectively.
The company sounded confident on its non-banking finance business and
continues to nurture its plans to grow the loan book size. It has forayed into the
housing finance business and has started lending; further, the company has also
entered into the health insurance business. On the life insurance vertical, it
sounded positive on the product portfolio front and expects revival in the business
with revival on the macro economy front, while on the lifestyle segment it has
mentioned that the competitive intensity has increased and 2HFY2015 would
remain challenging for the overall lifestyle-led businesses.
ABNL’s strong positioning in each of its business verticals it operates in (life
insurance, telecom, lifestyle and asset management), along with its quest for
profitable growth and attractive valuation which makes us maintain our Buy
rating on the stock with a price target of Rs2,000 (arrived using sum-of-theparts approach valuing each business vertical).

Key result highlights
Excluding ITES business; the topline grew at a 15%
YoY-On a reported basis, ABNL posted a 1.6% year-onyear (Y-o-Y) growth in the revenues. The results are
not directly comparable as the same quarter last year

On the business performance front, growth was
witnessed across verticals. The company’s financial
services business was a star performer for the quarter,
posting a 40.5% growth on a Y-o-Y basis.
Operating efficiencies led to margin expansionDecent revenue performance coupled with efficiency
gain from employee cost and other expenditure
resulted in 24.7% Y-o-Y growth in the consolidated
operating profit. Consequently the operating profit
margin (OPM) also improved by a strong 396 basis
points (BPS) on a Y-o-Y basis from 17.4% in Q2FY2014
to 21.4% in Q1FY2015. Adjusting for its ITES business,
the overall operating profit grew much stronger at

stock update
It plans to add 18-20 stores to reach a mark of 100
stores. For the quarter, it has refurbished 21 stores
through infrastructure and assortment upgrade.
realised voice revenue per minute stood at 36.2 paise
as against 37.1 paise in Q1FY2015.
Idea Cellular continues to post strong execution skills
coupled with the stabilising competitive environment
that keeps us to be positive on the vertical.
Telecom business
Q2FY2015 was seasonally a soft quarter for the telecom
service providers. It typically witnessed a topline decline
owing to traffic contraction on a sequential basis and
reported a decent 0.1% quarter-on-quarter (Q-o-Q)
growth in the revenue on the back of improvement in
the blended realisation by 1.8% quarter on quarter (QoQ)
(from 45.1 paise in Q1FY2015 to 45.9 paise in Q2FY2015).
Though the traffic growth declined by 1.7% QoQ, the
decline was less pronounced than the earlier periods in
FY2014 and FY2013, where the volume contracted by
5.8% and 4% sequentially in the Q2.
Manufacturing business
Agricultural business–Agricultural business posted a
strong 17.2% Y-o-Y growth in the revenue, while the
EBIT grew by 58.5% on a Y-o-Y basis. Aided by receipt
of subsidy amount from the government the working
capital improved.
Rayon business–New Superfine yarn capacity is driving
profitable growth in viscose fibre yarn (VFY) segment
partly offset by lower electro chemical unit (ECU)
realisation in the chemical segment.
Data was the prime reason for the growth in the
blended realisation and hence the overall growth for
the company. All the key indicators for data showed
strong traction (viz-data realisation +0.8% QoQ, data
volume growth; +21.3% QoQ and overall data revenue
grew strong at a 14.9% QoQ).
Insulators-Volume growth was majorly on account of
spill over of contracts due to disruption/suspension of
plant operations in Q1. Improved product mix in
substation segment and pass-through of rise in costs
led to an increase in realization.
The only weakness in the revenue performance was a
sequential 2.4% decline in the voice realised rate. The
