Sanghvi Movers

The seci tranche V results are out. Under subscribed by 800 MW due to connectivity issues. this is good as developers are behaving rationally in bidding after confirming the availability of connections. There will be less delays in completion of projects.

To watch out for is hybrid 2.5GW tender scheduled, results to be out in August second week. that should be oversubscribed considering incentives involved.

Guys
The turn-around story in wind sector gathered pace 6 months back and has lost steam in with the Q1 results of Sanghvi/Suzlon/Inox Wind coming out

This post on my blog might help us take the discussion further

Comments and suggestions for further research welcome

I was invested in this from 2013 till 2016. Not tracking this right now, had noticed certain things about the management which I think people will need to consider before investing -

The management is prone is exuberance at the top of the cycle. You can see this in 2008 and 2014 as well, they tend to take on too much debt, build excess capacity and once demand cools off you will see losses for 4-5 Q’s. Cyclical nature of the business is anyway known but what is surprising is that management has not learnt from their mistakes in the past.

On one of the conf calls in 2014 a lot of questions were on this - 700 Cr of capex is being done, bulk of it being funded through debt, how confident is the management that capacity utilization will be hygienic? The answer was that market info is confidential and that it cannot be revealed. Any management that repeats the same error twice is a problem, it becomes a pattern that will get repeated again and again.

My sense is that in stocks like these timing becomes very important, especially the exit part. This is not a story one can look at with a long term horizon since the terminal value accorded to this during a down cycle will barely take into account earnings and will be based mostly on replacement cost. Do keep this in mind and buffer accordingly

Just posting a new item that is relevant to the topic under discussion

Gujarat has framed a land utilization policy for win-solar projects.

Hello @sjain_13,

Do you know if WTG suppliers will go back to their previous profitable numbers in FY20?
Do you mind checking with industry experts please?

Understand that FY19 was not really a turnaround year which the wind industry was expecting, due to additional problems like lack of inter-state transmission.
Wondering if this would be a problem for FY20 too.

If that problem is fixed or if we have signs of it being fixed, Sanghvi Movers can be a good cyclical turnaround opportunity.
I see they have already started clearing their debt in FY18 and there is a fall in interest costs in FY19’s quarterly results. I expect them to clear their debts further in FY19 using their CFO to reduce their interest costs further in FY20. This should enforce the turnaround further.

Thanks in advance.

Excerpt from the Q4FY19 press release by Inox Wind
Common transmission network (central grid) in Bhuj, Gujarat is ready

This is the 765 kV evacuation network part of the Green Energy Corridor.
This will mean at least 4000 MW of projects at Bhuj will now have a smooth commissioning over the next 12-15 months

In Fy2016, wind energy installation was 3.5GW and Sanghvi’s turnover jumped from Rs.308crs to Rs.530crs. Even in Inox wind concall they said around 3-5 GW can be installed during the year Fy2020. If this happen we can see huge jump in turnover of Sanghvi movers.

Even yesterday, Allcargo’s project division show good jump in Turnover and profitability and one of the reason was revival in Wind energy.

All green shoots are there Lets hope the best.

Results and presentation are out.
Results: https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/5f8d50eb-966a-4873-9d19-18e0daa11411.pdf
Presentation: https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/fa4853c2-0608-4cb6-a5a0-62990fa8ed0a.pdf

Points to note:

  1. Provisions of 28 crores! Pasting screenshot from the presentation. Any idea which client is defaulting here?
  2. Wind industry is going to recover in FY20 as per management and management expects top-line growth of 25% and most of it would come from H2FY20
  3. Refinery & Gas share rose from 6% to 16% in one year. Almost 3x in one year. Any idea which part of gas value chain is driving this? GoI is promoting gas’ share in India’s energy basket and wants to increase its share to 15% by 2030 from current 6%. Policies for CGD, E&P, LNG have been rolled out and good growth is already visible in this sector. We need to understand if this will help Sanghvi. If this can contribute to topline significantly, we’ll have double advantage of wind sector + refinery & gas sector
  4. Even though the company is reporting losses, it is cash positive and hence reducing its debt. Should provide further boost to EPS next year as finance costs would decrease

Disclosure: Recent entry in March with 3% exposure. May add more if conviction increases.

Having played this story in the past…

Best time to enter is when company is making accounting losses but starting to pare down debt and shrink balance sheet.

The time to exit is when PAT shows a huge spike after 2-3 years of losses and management comes out and announces that the yield on their assets is > 3% per month and hence they are doing a debt funded huge capex to capture market opportunity.

Investors here will do well to study the company performance and share price from 2012 to 2015, history often repeats in such counters

Please do your own due diligence. I no longer invest in such stories for my own reasons - nothing to do with Sanghvi Mover as such

Main issue will be the ability of the customers to pay. It remains to be seen how much suzlon, inox etc will earn from the seci projects. Till their cash flow improves, a meaningful improvement should not be expected from sanghvi.

One of the main parameters to track for the Sanghi Movers stock is to track what is the capacity addition in wind energy is every month
The data for the month of May-19 is out
http://www.cea.nic.in/reports/monthly/installedcapacity/2019/installed_capacity-06.pdf

Wind energy capacity added in
Apr-19 = 190 MW
May-19 = 273 MW
Addition in 2 months YTD = 463 MW

@amey153, thank you very much for sharing this resource!

I got inspired by it and created this table. In previous years, the govt shared only quarterly data for wind power capacity. This exercise has helped improve my conviction.

Capacity Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW) Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW) Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW) Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW) Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW) Cumulative (MW) Quarterly (MW)
Q1FY19 (not including June) 36089 464 Q1FY18 34293 247 Q1FY17 32508 229 Q1FY16 27151 284 Q1FY15 23762 318 Q1FY14
Q2FY19 Q2FY18 34615 322 Q2FY17 32700 192 Q2FY16 28082 931 Q2FY15 24376 614 Q2FY14
Q3FY19 Q3FY18 35138 523 Q3FY17 32848 148 Q3FY16 28700 618 Q3FY15 25088 712 Q3FY14
Q4FY19 Q4FY18 35625 487 Q4FY17 34046 1198 Q4FY16 32279 3579 Q4FY15 26867 1779 Q4FY14 23444

One very interesting insight is this is going to be the best Q1 the wind industry has ever had, in terms of MW numbers, over the past few years (including the time before we had the auctions)

Previous best Q1 was in FY15 with 318 MW addition. In FY20, we already have 464 MW addition without adding June’s installation.

q4fy18 was the worst ever… is it possible that some capacity got spilled over to this quarter and hence seems high?

The way to look at this is a little different.
The installation does not follow a smooth curve.

Shifting from feed-in (cost-plus) tariff to competitive bidding was a big disturbance (change).
Non-availability of transmission infrastructure is a big show-stopper.

Like I gave mentioned in previous posts, the transmission infra (substation by Powergrid) at Bhuj (Gujarat) is ready.
This has paved the way for installation of 4000 MW of wind projects at one single location over the next 15-18 months.

The fact that installation has picked up in the last 2 months is a validation of the above hypothesis.

Very good source of information. However, as Sanghvi work is in installation of stage of capacity, numbers from this source would have already been reflected in previous quarter numbers of Sanghvi.
