JK Cement Q4 Review – Market Share Gains To Continue: ICICI Securities

BQ Prime’s special research section collates quality and in-depth equity and economy research reports from across India’s top brokerages, asset managers and research agencies. These reports offer BQ Prime’s subscribers an opportunity to expand their understanding of companies, sectors and the economy.

JK Cement Ltd.’s Q4 FY22 Ebitda of Rs 3.83 billion, down 20% YoY, was in line with our/consensus estimates. Blended realisation declined 1.3% QoQ (rose 8.6% YoY) while total cost/tonne increased 1.5% QoQ (19% YoY).

This resulted in blended Ebitda/tonne shrinking 13% QoQ (21% YoY) to Rs 973/tonne (our estimate: Rs 993/tonne).

Panna greenfield expansion (four million tonne) is on track and likely to be commissioned in Q3 FY23. This would drive strong ~13% volume compound annual growth rate over FY21-FY24E for JK Cement leading to market share gains.

Factoring-in higher cost escalations, we reduce our FY23E-FY24E Ebitda by 8-18%.
