Man Infraconstruction Limited - From Ports & Civil Infra to Real Estate Development

Tried searching VP forum about Man Infra but suprisingly no thread found, so creating a new one.

Man Infraconstruction Limited (MIL) is a construction company engaged in the business of civil construction. The Company provides construction services for port infrastructure, such as land reclamation, soil consolidation, and operational services; residential constructions, such as high rise building, townships and luxury villas; commercial and institutional constructions, such as information technology parks, office complexes, shopping malls, schools and hotels; industrial constructions, such as factories, cold storages, heavy engineering and warehouse facilities, and road constructions, such as earthwork and paving, electrification, landscaping, upgradation and drainage. Its residential projects include Blue Ridge, SRA Township, Lifescapes Amber, Signia Sky, Mundra Township and Neelkanth Greens. Its infrastructure projects include Gateway Terminal and Vallarpadam ICTT. Its commercial and industrial projects include Kohinoor Education Complex, Sai Complex and Viraj Profiles Ltd.

Bright future on the back of a strong order book: As on 30th June, 2017 the company’s EPC order book stands at Rs. 7,096mn majority of it contributed from the port infrastructure sector followed by the residential sector and commercial and industrial sector constituting a very negligible portion. The government recently has received the development rights from the urban development department of the government of Maharashtra for 14 buildings in MHADA Layout in Ghatkopar East and 2 buildings in Vikhroli East. In April, 2017 the company also launched their first phase of land redovolopment projects in Ghatkopar East having an estimated value of Rs. 1250mn. Man Projects Limited, a subsidiary of Man Infraconstruction Limited received a prestigious order worth Rs. 7516.9mn from Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals Private Limited for development of the fourth container terminal at Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Mumbai. The project is expected to be completed and executed in FY18.

Asset Light Real Estate Operations: As against the general real estate model of purchasing land with upfront cash payments, Man Infra has built a 50 lakh sq. ft. project pipeline in Mumbai by partnering with existing land owners / redevelopment projects. We think this is the best strategy in Mumbai real estate model where the Land Cost forms a significantly higher proportion of the total cost of project.

Debt Free Cash Surplus Real Estate Company: Man Infra is one of the few companies in the sector with zero debt at standalone level.

Strong Cliental: The company has a strong cliental in both their major business segment i.e Port Infrastructure and Civil Infrastructure. To name a few in the port infrastructure segment the company has clients such DP World, Port Pipavav, Century Ply, MAERSK etc. While in the civil infrastructure segment the company has clients such as Tata Housing, Godrej, DB Realty, Adani, Goddrey Phillip, Bharti Airtel etc. The company also has a history of repeat orders from these marquee clients.

Strong Execution Capabilities: In total the company has executed onshore port infrastructure work for 7 ports in India and completed a total of 3 residential real estate projects. A total of 7.5mn sq. ft of residential projects area are ongoing/upcoming in Mumbai/MMR. The company is also expected to start recognizing revenue for 2 of it’s ongoing real estate projects in FY18.

Robust Project Pipeline: Based on its existing projects, Man Infra along with its partners / JVs have a pipeline of almost 50 lakhs sq. ft. of projects to be executed over next 5-7 years. This provides tremendous visibility of sales and profits for 5-7 years. All its projects are in residential space as follows:

Highlights on Main projects:

a) Mulund Project: ‘Atmosphere’, a real estate project in Mulund, is being developed in joint venture with Wadhwa and Chandak Realtors, with an approximate saleable area of 2.3 million sq. ft. Within a few days of the launch of the project, 40% of phase I was sold indicating strong demand. For this project, 100% contracting work is awarded to Man Infra where it will also earn a contracting (EPC) margin.

b) MHADA Development Project at Ghatkopar, Mumbai: Man Infra has already signed MoU for redeveloping 12 MHADA colony buildings. As a part of the deal, Man has to provide residential accommodation to existing tenants of MHADA and in return it will be able to construct and sell 4.65 lakh sq. ft of residential apartments. This project will be a very rewarding project for Man Infra and should be completed in next 3-4 years.

c) Dahisar Project: Through Man Vastucon LLP (where Man holds 99.9%), Man Infra has obtained development rights to develop 59700 sq. meters plot which will convert into approx 26.4 lakh sq. feet of saleable area at Dahisar. Man Vastucon LLP will undertake the development of the property. The other JV partner will be compensated by sharing 35% of gross sales realization as land cost. This project is in continuation to Man’s asset light policy, where in the company will save huge upfront investment cost and minimize the investment risk.

d) Multiple Other Projects: There are multiple individual building projects like Aaradhya Residency, Aaradhya Saphalya, Aaradhya Nalanda, Aaradhya Signature in and around Central Mumbai. 4. Perfect Project Location: We believe that location of the project for a real estate company is of supreme importance. With respect to Man Infra, all its existing projects are located in popular and densely populated areas of Mumbai – Mulund, Ghatkopar, Sion and Dahisar. Owing to a strong demand in these areas, the price correction (if at all) is very limited. Eventually this should translate in better sales realisation and margins for Man Infra as and when projects start.

Good Reputation as a Builder: Real estate buyers always look for some trusted brand or name on which they can rely upon. Man Infra has lived up to the brand by providing quality construction and timely delivery of its projects. In March 2015, the company completed one of its residential projects at Ghatkopar East in Mumbai where it has also obtained Occupation Certificate ahead of scheduled delivery of the project by 6 months. Its past execution as EPC provider to companies like Godrej, Wadhwa and Tata among others is further testimony to its execution skills. We believe that all of this will help the company to sell better than the competition.

High cash Balance which provides higher Liquidity: The company is sitting on a high cash & bank balance worth Rs. 4,852mn in FY17 and Rs. 5,373mn in Q1FY18 which provides the company with higher liquidity.

Investment Risks

Heavy Dependence on Residential Segment Man Infra is heavily depended on revenues from the Residential Segment. Moreover major part of its order book also consists of orders from the Residential Segment. Such dependence on a single segment may prove to be very dangerous for the company if this segment faces some slowdown in the future.

Competition from New and Existing Players India’s Infrastructure needs have got attention from major national and international players. It is very likely that Man would be facing tough competition particularly in the Port Infrastructure segment from other established companies. Winning of contract bids (both private as well as public) may just become that much more difficult.

Regulatory Delay for Approval of Projects: As the company has a policy of starting projects only after all approvals are in place, any delay in regulatory approvals can lead to subsequent delay in project implementation.

Man infra construction Con-call Notes
Business :
Man lnfraconstruction Limited, India’s premier integrated EPC player with almost 6 decades of experience in the construction industry and a decade in Real Estate development.
MICL Group has successfully completed approximately 7 ports across India, encompassing over 250 hectares of infrastructure works in the EPC segment.
Additionally, the Company has accomplished 13 real estate projects, all completed ahead of schedule, thus, underscoring its commitment to stringent timelines and elevating industry standards with some projects delivered at least a year ahead of the scheduled date.
The EPC division of the Company engaged in contracting for ports, infrastructure, government projects and owned residential ventures generates EPC margin or PMC income with a distinct emphasis on enhancing the bottom line.
Within real estate, the Company adheres to an asset-light strategy where it is involved in joint
Development Agreement (JDA) example ‘Aaradhya High Park’, which is at Mira Road or a Joint Venture, which is our ‘Atmosphere’ Project at Mulund, ‘Insignia’ project at Vile Parle or
Development & Marketing model which is at Tardeo, the project named ‘Aaradhya Avaan’.

Company business model in real estate :
Management Answer :we are always keen on a DM model or a JV model. It’s not a question of only investment,but when we enter into the DM model or a Joint Venture agreement with someone at that time normally some of the approvals has come up like the most of the 50%, 60% work has been completed. So, normally the developer acquire the land and when the construction starts it takes 2 to 2.5 years in a normal course whereas in this model you can start the work in next six to seven months’ time. That’s the primary reason. The secondary reason that the redevelopment of the building in a DM model or a JV model, your investment is reduced and your risk factor is also reduced. And till now, whatever the projects which are there in pipeline or whatever we are executing, the financial closure of all the projects has been done. In our books there are certain loans which you will be able to see, out of that it is actually not 100% loan. Out of that 50% amount is a contribution of the partners because in real estate Company, we always run a subsidiary companies and in subsidiary companies, partner’s contribution also comes in our balance sheet as a loan. So, actually we are having approximately Rs. 80 crore to Rs. 90 crore or not more than Rs. 100 crore loan as on today from all the bank’s loan. So, we are open to acquire the land also, it’s not like that we don’t want to acquire the land, but we are not in a hurry to acquire our land because with this 25% investment we have been able to make same amount of money. So, we have adopted that model.
Future Outlook
Epc Segment : Company have Approx 1265 order book.
Real estate : The company’s real estate portfolio is estimated to be around 4.6 million square feet, which comprise of around 2 million square feet of ongoing projects and 2.6 million square upcoming projects.
Debt Level : The company has reduced debt and improved liquidity, with a net cash positive position and liquidity of over Rs. 530 crore.

Discl : Invested.
