Ashish Shah: Very good afternoon to everyone. We are here to host the Q3 FY20 earnings conference call of
Ashoka Buildcon. We have from the management Mr. Satish Parakh – Managing Director, Mr.
Paresh Mehta – Chief Financial Officer and we also have Stellar IR on the call. So, over to you
Mr. Parakh for opening remarks and then probably we can go for a question and answer session.
Thank you.
Satish Parakh: Thank you, Ashish. Good afternoon everyone. Welcome you all to the earnings conference call
for quarter ended December 31st, 2019. Joining me on the call is Mr. Paresh Mehta, our Chief
Financial Officer. To start with, I am happy to share that we have made an important progress
in Tumkur – Shivamogga Package IV and Kandi Ramsanpalle HAM projects. We have
successfully signed the concession agreement with the NHAI for both the projects. Currently,
we are in process of debt tie-up for the said projects and expect to do the financial closure in
near future.

Now coming to the order intake during the quarter, Ashoka Concession Ltd., a subsidiary of Ashoka Buildcon won the road HAM project worth Rs. 1,000 crores from NHAI in Telangana under the Bharatmala Pariyojna. The project entails four laning of NH-161 from Kandi to Ramsanpalle on HAM mode. Also we have received LOA for a road project worth Rs. 1,080 crores from Uttar Pradesh Expressway Industrial Development Authority.

The company's total order book as on 31st December, 2019 stands at Rs. 8,092 crores. The order book excludes orders worth Rs. 1,454 crores which includes LOA worth Rs. 868 crores and Rs. 586 crores received from Tumkur–Shivamoga HAM project and Kandi Ramsanpalle, respectively. Including these 2 orders, our order book stands today at 9,547 crores. The breakup of the order book is as follows:

The road project comprises of Rs. 5,981 crores, which is 74% of our total order book. Among the roads order book, HAM projects road projects are to the tune of Rs. 3,411 crores and EPC projects are to the tune of Rs. 2,570 crores. Power T&D and other comprises of around Rs. 1,046 crores, which is 13% of total balance order book. Railways contribute Rs. 993 crores which is 12% of the total order book and EPC work on CGD comprises of Rs. 73 crores.

Over the years' road infrastructure has been a key government priority. In Union budget 2020- 2021, our honorable Finance Minister seems to provide impetus to further enable the development of infrastructure in years to come.

On 31st December 2019, government has launched the National Infrastructural Pipeline of Rs. 103 lakh crores over the next 5 years. The central government has provided Rs. 22,000 crores in the form of equity infusion in NIIF and IIFCL. This support will enable the financial institutions to leverage and provide the financial support over Rs. 1 lakh crores of various upcoming projects.

The government has announced accelerated development on highways, which include development of 2,500 kilometer of access control highways, 9,000 kilometers of economic corridors, 2,000 kilometers of coastal and land projects, 2,000 kilometers of strategic highways. To fund the project, government is allocated Rs.1.7 lakh crores in FY20-2021. Also the government plans to monetize at least 12 highway bundles of 6,000 kilometers before 2024.

Additionally, to drive investment in priority sectors from sovereign wealth funds of foreign government, the Finance Ministry has proposed a grant of 100% tax exemption on interest, dividend and capital gains. We believe this will help in faster asset monetization and support funding for future awards.

In current financial year we have witnessed a slowdown in tendering an awarding of projects by NHAI. In coming months, we expect the strong order intake as the project awarding activities of NHAI had already picked up. The government impetus on road construction improved scenario in terms of land acquisition and availability of funds will help the sector.

Moving on to other key developments of the company, I am happy to share that we have acquired remaining 29% of equity in Ashoka GVR Mudhol Nipani Road Projects Limited, held by GVR Infra Projects Limited. With this Ashoka Buildcon now holds 99.99% equity share in this SPV. The consideration of Rs. 35.69 crores for the transaction was already paid in cash in the past. That is all from my side, I would now request Mr. Paresh Mehta to present the financial performance of Q3 FY20.

Paresh Mehta: Than you, sir. Good afternoon everyone. The result presentation and press release for the quarter has been uploaded on the stock exchanges and on the company's website. I believe you all may have gone through the same.

Now I would present the financial results for the quarter ended December 31st, 2019. Starting with the consolidated results the total income for Q3 FY20 stands at 1,303 crores as compared to 1,382 crores in Q3 FY19. EBITDA stood at 401 crores in Q3 FY20, a growth of 4% year-onyear.

Coming to the standalone numbers the total income of Q3 FY20 stands at 1,021 crores as compared to 1,091 crores in corresponding quarter last fiscal. During Q3 FY20 BOT division recorded a toll collection of 238 crores. EBITDA for the quarter was at Rs 161 crores as compared to Rs 174 crores in the corresponding quarter last year. EBITDA margins was at 16% for Q3 FY20. The company reported PAT of Rs. 86 crores in Q3 FY20, PAT margins stood at 8.4%.

Total consolidated debt as on December 31, 2019 is at Rs. 5,881 crores of which project debt is Rs. 5,366 crores including Rs. 150 crores of NCDs at ACL level. The standalone debt is Rs. 515 crores which comprises of Rs. 216 crores on equipment loans, Rs. 149 crores on working capital loans and Rs. 150 crores of NCDs.

With this we now open the floor for Q&A. Thank you.

Moderator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. The first question is from the line of Mohit Kumar from IDFC Securities. Please go ahead.

Mohit Kumar: Sir, firstly on the revenue, sir, these revenue was slightly on the lower side of Q3. Are we still maintaining 25% to 30% growth in revenue for FY20 and is there some kind of guidance which you give for FY21 now?

Paresh Mehta: Going with our revenue side we did guide when we started of the year with a 25% growth. But in view of the delayed appointed date for couple of projects and for the 2 projects TS-1 and TS-2 and also the Bettadahalli project and elongated rains during this last Q2 and Q3, our estimates for the year end stands revise to almost around 15 odd percent. And we will achieve that too, but all the revenues there will get postponed for the Q1 of the 2020-2021.

  • Mohit Kumar: Sir, on the asset monetization side, just something which you can share at this point of time, the timeline which you are looking at now?
  • Paresh Mehta: So, as update in our previous calls Macquarie is in the lookout for exit from the portfolio and in purchase of that they already in certain process of diligence where we are settled a team. We do have an option of giving them an exit or monetizing all the assets put together, the kind of investors which are available are looking out for assets 100% stakes in SPVs. So, we believe that by March and we should get the clarity on the exit of Macquarie or stakes sale.
  • Mohit Kumar: And lastly on the sir, on the project, Kandi Ramsanpalle and the Lucknow and Shivamogga when do you expect, all the projects to start construction? Is there something which you can share?
  • Satish Parakh: Kandi Ramsanpalle is quite in advance stage where 95% of the land is available. So that will get started in time like 4 months from now. And (Package IV) Tumkur – Shivmogga may need 6 months to start.
  • Mohit Kumar: Lucknow say this Expressway?
  • Satish Parakh: Lucknow project is already started, and we have begun work on the project already**.**
  • Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Koundinya N from J M Financial. Please go ahead.

Koundinya N: Sir, sorry for harping on its revenue standalone level again because if you look at the monsoonthat also maybe October could have been partly impacted by monsoons. But otherwise also ourorder book is decent enough to maybe it should have grown by still in 9 months we achievedonly 7% growth. So, just trying to understand if there are any liquidity issues either for us or forsub-contractors or if there are any other issues which are hampering the execution?
Satish Parakh: Monsoon in fact affected us right up to the first week of December. The major 2 projects werelike Vadodara-Mumbai expressway and Karnataka projects where we really had a very longmonsoons and Vadodara-Mumbai expressway we really, the entire work in the Narmada bridge,temporary bridge was completely washed away. So we have to completely redo the Narmadabridge, for which definitely will get insurance but we are not going get time we have lost andthat really affect the entire quarter.
Paresh Mehta: We can assure you that the cash flows definitely are not an issue. If you see our standalone debtworking capital plus NCDs are to get almost Rs. 300 crores where we have a headroom ofanother 200 crores to borrow. So, that is not a concern and to just put a lime light, on the first 2weeks of January we received almost Rs. 400 crores. So, this debt is, I mean the debt is totallyunder control I mean, there are lot of comfort on the working capital debt.
Koundinya N: Debt loan level we are really comfortable and my question is that if the disbursements to HAMprojects are happening and then secondly because we also subcontract part of our work the cashflows to subcontractors are on time or is it some stress to that extent?
Paresh Mehta: We have no concerns on either the grant being received from the authority. Because based onthe pace of the work we are receiving our grants in time maybe 8-10 days plus minus. The debtalso is being reached by the existing bankers in time so there is no challenge that though theyare going ahead with the sell down of their debts. But they are delivering till the sell downhappens. So, there is no concern on cash flows at all.
Koundinya N: Sir, my second question is on Tumkur 4 HAM, if you can help Tumkur 4 HAM, can you helpus understand that land acquisition status 3H?
Satish Parakh: So, land is around 46% as of now.
Koundinya N: 46% 3H, sir?
Paresh Mehta: 3G has been done up to 60%. So, this will expedite in coming months. So, once 80% is done wewill get the appointed date.
Koundinya N: And sir Ramsanpalle 95% is 3H, right?
Satish Parakh: 3H is already there we are tying up our debts, so our debt tie up will happen within the time limitgiven by NHAI. So that we will, we hope to start in time.

Koundinya N: Sir, lastly one book keeping question. Can you provide our ACL net debt numbers on the BoTassets which are part of this Macquarie stakes sale thing.
Paresh Mehta: So, the net debt on the ACL these are around Rs. 4,821 crores, ACL assets.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Vibhor Singhal from PhilipCapital. Please goahead.
Vibhor Singhal: Sir few questions from my side. As of now that you mentioned that we are looking for a 15%kind of growth in fourth quarter that would mean for the full year. That would mean that for thefourth quarter we would need to do something like a 30% kind of growth Y-o-Y around Rs.1,700 crores of revenue. Do you see the visibility and also as we might have seen in the first 40days of the quarter? Do you see visible it for us to be able to do that kind of a revenue in thisquarter?
Satish Parakh: I think, we have started well on this Bundelkhand expressway but here we are now completelyin shape and work is with full swing and Tumkur - Shivamogga also work has started in fullswing. So, we definitely feel that we will be able to catch up.
Vibhor Singhal: Also sir, any chance that you could share the debtors and the inventory rates number with us atthe end of this quarter?
Paresh Mehta: Total trade receivables are in the range of Rs. 1,500 crores this is including receivables from ourSPVs and as I said, January we have received almost Rs. 400 crores on that account. And theinventory, unbilled revenue is to the tune of, I just come back to that.
Vibhor Singhal: Along with that sir, if you can get the net working capital number also that will be great.
Satish Parakh: Yes.
Vibhor Singhal: Sir, in the meantime if you could just maybe ask on a strategy level in terms of assetmonetization. So, the ACL we have around 7 projects in which SBI Macquarie has investeddirectly. So, as of now are we looking just for the, so SBI Macquarie looking for a partner forthe exit. So, are they looking just for the, somebody to buyout their stakes in these 7 projects?Or are we also at the same time contemplating the other annuity and the HAM projects that wehave in our portfolio?
Paresh Mehta: So, from a diligence end from a process which we are progressing we are also looking for 100%monetization of all the 7 assets which they partnered when they came in and additional HAMprojects which came up during the course of partnership there also we are looking out for afinancial arrangement where somebody can buy out the equity as the projects completed.
Vibhor Singhal: So that would mean the all the 7 HAM also?

Paresh Mehta: Yes, that would be.
Vibhor Singhal: I just need the inventory days and working number days. I come back in the queue wheneveryou have, I will be ok to take those numbers, sir.
Moderator: Thank you. The next question is from the line of Prem Khurana from Anand Rathi. Please goahead.
Prem Khurana: Sir, first one was I mean if you could help me with the break up in terms of I mean how muchthey will be have from roads in terms of revenues and how much was from Power T&D thisquarter?
Paresh Mehta: On the roads for this quarter we had Rs. 742 crores, on the EPC power Rs. 95 crores, on therailways Rs. 74 crores, other projects around Rs. 32 crores.
Prem Khurana: And sir, just to continue on this revenue recognition, so essentially we have had good numbersfrom roads and I am assuming a part of it would be from your hybrid annuities as well. But whenI look at my project level debt it seems to have come up. So, does it mean, I mean we could havemobilization advances and grants from government to be able to fund our execution because Imean when I look at the presentation sequentially your project debt has down by almost aroundRs. 60 crores despite this kind of execution in this quarter. How do we explain this?
Paresh Mehta: So this is, you are right, the 2 parts. One is that repayment of debt on the old projects which isalso happened during the quarter. And second, definitely disbursement of grants andmobilization advance has head in funding all this progress of work.
Prem Khurana: Would you have that number available with you? I mean, how much was the mobilization andgrant in this quarter that we would have received?
Paresh Mehta: I will just come back on that.
Prem Khurana: And just one last, I mean if I may. So what is the status on the Kharar Ludhiana COD and aswell I mean when do we expect the same for your Ranastalam project?
Paresh Mehta: COD is very much in advance stage; we expect by the end of this quarter.
Prem Khurana: Sir this schedule COD was September, right? So, it is already delayed by a quarter or right?
Satish Parakh: See actually work has been completed. Now the process takes time in NHAI than what weexpect.
Prem Khurana: And then would they compensate for this delay as in essentially in terms of the interest that youare supposed to get at the annuity that

Satish Parakh: Because they were not being supporting, this first annuity will be anywhere you update in time.
Prem Khurana: And Khrar - Ludhiana the entire 100% land was available or there was there still some missingland there because when I look at the order backlog there is some more work that needs to befinished.
Satish Parakh: Yes, there is a work balance which will be done in maintenance period as and when plant is planis released.

Satish Parakh: Yes.
Jiten Rushi: And sir, can you throw the light on the land status for the other HAM projects as you said thatfor Kharar – Ludhiana only 80%-85% land is available. That was the case last time I think thatis the case now also and what about the other HAM projects land status?
Satish Parakh: No, Kharar – Ludhiana around 91% is available which we are completing. We are getting CODon that. Other projects as I explain earlier Kandi, Tumkur project is 95% kind available andTumkur – Shivamogga – 4 that is Bettadahalli there today only 60% is 3G and 46% of 3H done.So, that we expect to pick up in the coming quarters.
Jiten Rushi: And sir, your lease revenue which you have lost in Vadodara Kim, so I see some 100 crores plusrevenue execution in Q3. So, what kind of run rate you can expect in Q4 and in FY21? Becauseyou said you have lost some revenue because of the extended monsoon in Narmada river bridge.
Satish Parakh: So, all this will catch up in this insurance we won. So, now everything is come down to we arecompletely the project has now come to fast-track, if we try to maintain the schedule completiondate as it is. So, increase more resources and we are trying to catch up with the run rate.
Jiten Rushi: So, what is the CAPEX for 9 months and Q4 you are expecting, CAPEX?
Paresh Mehta: CAPEX for the balance 2 months is not very significant. But for the 9 months gone by totalCAPEX done during the 9 months was approximately, I will come on that one second, sir.
Jiten Rushi: And sir this for the ACL portfolio which SBI Macquarie, can you just gave us the breakupbetween the equity, sub debt and the external debt for 7 portfolios?

Paresh Mehta: So equity on SPV wise?
Jiten Rushi: As you are comfortable, it is up to you, sir?

Moderator: Thank you. We move to the next question. The next question is from the line of Vaibhav Shahfrom Centrum Broking. Please go ahead.
Vaibhav Shah: So, what are the T&D receivables that we had currently? And how are we they moved on overthe past quarter?
Paresh Mehta: On the Power T&D, right?
Vaibhav Shah: Yes, Power T&D?
Paresh Mehta: Total receivables in Power would be approximately Rs. 600 crores.
Vaibhav Shah: And what was the number during last quarter?
Paresh Mehta: We come back on that.
Vaibhav Shah: Sir and with respect to our new HAM Kandi Ramsanpalle, so if you see that the EPC cost isquite lower at 586 crores. So, what could be the reason for that?

Paresh Mehta: The equity, the project cost is lesser.
Vaibhav Shah: EPC cost?
Paresh Mehta: EPC cost. The project size is small because basically the project size is almost 20% lower thanthe BPC. And accordingly around say Rs. 650 odd crores should be the EPC price, IDC wouldbe around Rs. 720 crores with the project cost.
Vaibhav Shah: Sir and what could be our inflow guidance for FY21?
Paresh Mehta: We expect biddings to happen in the next 6 weeks, we believe and we will try to target at leastRs. 3,000 to 4,000 crores of order book either in HAM or EPC because whatever biddings havebeen postponed we will continue to participate in those. So, against our target of Rs. 5,000 to6,000 crores we will try to at least do within this 2 months, Rs. 3,000 to 4,000 crores.

Ashish Kumar: But do we expect our equity stake to get diverted further or will it be that 39% only?
Paresh Mehta: That will all depend on the valuation which we actually pans out and our minimum numberwhich we have already disclose Rs. 1,500 crores the Macquarie should be making in theirtransaction on their investment.

Paresh Mehta: So, yes toll growth continues to remain low we have announced in the presentation. Presentationtalks about the ACL portfolio as 1% negative growth year-on-year for the quarter. If we considerthe toll rate rise impact also then the traffic growth would be in the range of 3% negative growth.So, that is there majorly contributed by Jaora-Nayagaon or in Sambalpur where the traffic degrowth is higher in this quarter. This is majorly due to certain activity, as in Jaora-Nayagaonthere are certain customer activity happening northwards of the project where traffic hastemporarily shifted. We expect the temporary to shift back by Q2 next year.
