Ladies and gentlemen, good day, and welcome to the PNC Infratech Limited Q1 FY '23 Earnings Conference Call hosted by Dolat Capital. [Operator Instructions] Please note that this conference is being recorded.

I now hand the conference over to Mr. Shravan Shah from Dolat Capital. Thank you, and over to you, sir.

S
Shravan Shah
analyst

Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. I would like to welcome you all for Q1 FY '23 results conference call of PNC Infratech Limited. We thank the management for giving us the opportunity to host the call. We have senior management team of PNC Infratech with us. I congratulate the entire team for PNC Infratech for robust performance in Q1 FY '23.

Without wasting much time, I would now hand over the floor to Mr. Yogesh sir for opening remarks, and then we can have a Q&A session. Over to you, sir.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Good afternoon, everyone, and a very warm welcome to all of you present on the call to discuss for quarter 1 financial year '23. Along with me, I have Mr. T.R. Rao, Director, Infra; Dr. Bhupin Sawhney, CFO; and Mr. D. Maheshwari, Vice President, Finance; and Strategic Growth Advisors, our investor relations advisers.

First, I will share my thoughts on a few sectoral highlights, which will be followed by financial and operational highlights of the company. The pace of highway construction in quarter 1 of financial year '23 in the country slowed down and stood at 22 kilometers a day compared to 25 kilometers a day on the year-on-year basis due to higher input costs and early onset of monsoon in some parts of the country. Ongoing active monsoon across the country, continuous rains and flood-like situation in some parts are expected to affect pace of construction in the first half of quarter 2 of financial year '23.

MoRTH and NHAI contemplating to reduce the upfront payment by half in HAM projects. In such case, 20% of bid project cost would only be paid during construction compared to current norm of 40%. As there would be increased private investment in hand projects, NHAI would be able to build out and fund higher number of projects with the same capital. NHAI is planning to award around 10% of projects on BOT toll mode from its target of 6,500 kilometers in the current fiscal with certain modification in the contract conditions.

Now coming to the key updates of the company. The company received INR 37 crores towards bonus on 20th April 2022 for early completion of Purvanchal Expressway Package VI, proving the company's recent education capabilities. During quarter 1, the company signed concession agreement with NHAI for 6 HAM projects out of 7 HAM projects awarded to company during the quarter 4 of financial year '22. Consistent agreement of remaining project 4 laning of Sonauli-Gorakhpur will be signed shortly.

During the quarter, the company has completed sale of its entire 35% share in Ghaziabad Aligarh Expressway Private Limited to Cube Highways and realized the capital. Discussions are underway with the potential investor for monetization of other fund-based projects which are already in operation and expected to be completed during the next 1 year. We will keep you update on the same going forward. As mentioned in the previous earnings call, company continues to look for a calibrated diversification, maintain the growth momentum without assuming the concentration risk. However, our focus area remains the low sector. At present, the company has total 24 projects in PPP mode comprising BOT toll, BOT annuity, OMT and HAM assets. Out of 24 projects, company has 18 HAM with an aggregate bid project cost of INR 24,590 crores. In HAM portfolio of 18 projects, company achieved PCOD and COD for 5 projects, 6 projects are under construction and balance 7 projects are recently awarded.

In terms of equity investment, the total requirement for all 18 HAM projects is approximately INR 2,390 crores, out of which, we have already invested INR 1,029 crores till June '22, and the balance will be invested over the next 2, 3 years. The internal accruals that would be generated over next 2, 3 years should be sufficient to fund the total equity investment.

The company received lowest order inflow in quarter 4 financial year '22. Our unexecuted order book as on 30th June '22 was over INR 20,000 crores after including 7 new HAM projects of INR 7,439 crores from NHAI, where the company received letters of award. Out of the total order book of over INR 20,000 crores, lowest EPC contract including HAM contribute around 61% and water and education projects contribute around 39%.

Now I would present the result of quarter ended 30th June '22. Revenue of first quarter of financial year '23 is INR 1,758 crores, which is higher by 41% as compared to INR 1,251 crores in first quarter of financial year '22. The EBITDA for the first quarter is INR 258 crores, which is higher by 47% as compared to INR 175 crores in quarter 1 of financial year '22. The EBITDA margin for the first quarter of financial year '23 is 14.7%. The PAT for the first quarter of financial year '23 is INR 167 crores as compared to INR 93 crores in the first quarter of financial year '22, a growth of 79% on year-to-year basis.

Consol revenue of first quarter of financial year '23 is INR 2,053 crores as compared to INR 1,463 crores in quarter 1 of financial year '22, growth of 40%. The consol EBITDA for the first quarter of financial year '23 is INR 518 crores, which is higher by 43% as compared to INR 363 crores for the first quarter of the corresponding quarter last year. The EBITDA margin for quarter 1 financial year '23 is 25.2%. The consol PAT for quarter 1 financial year '23 is INR 241 crores as compared to INR 118 crores in quarter 1 financial year '22, a growth of 104%.

As on 30th June '22, our net working cycle is 68 days as compared to 77 days as on 31st March '22. Our net worth on standalone basis is INR 3,526 crores as on 30th June '22, whereas total standalone debt is INR 300 crores. The total cash and bank balance as on 30th June 2022 is INR 463 crores. We have a net debt of INR 163 crores. This translates to net debt to equity of 0.09x. On consol basis, our net worth is INR 3,868 crores, whereas total debt is INR 5,129 crores as on 31st March '22. The total cash and bank balance, including current investment, is INR 1,048 crores. This translates to net debt to equity of 1.19x.

With this, we now open the floor for question-answer.

[Operator Instructions]

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes. Before starting the question and answer, just would like to declare the disclaimer clause and also safe harbor for whatever the discussions that will happen, including the forward-looking statements what we are going to make.

Operator

Okay. So sir, do you want me to go ahead with the disclaimer?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes.

Operator

Okay, sir. Please give me a moment. Shravan? Please go ahead with the disclaimer.

S
Shravan Shah
analyst

Sir, if you speak the disclaimer, that would be better from your side.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

You can read up if you have readily available, you can read out the disclosure, it's a standard disclosure.

S
Shravan Shah
analyst

Okay. I do not have that readily available.

Operator

Okay, sir. I'll just read it out. This conference call may contain forward-looking statements about the company, which are based on the beliefs, opinions and expectations of the company as on date of this call. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict.

So sir, can we go ahead with the questions?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes, yes, please.

Operator

Okay. So the first question comes from the line of Bharani Vijayakumar from Spark Capital.

B
Bharanidhar Vijayakumar
analyst

Regarding this MoRTH and NHAI's contemplation to reduce their contribution in HAM projects from 40% to 20%. How is the contracting and the developers like you onboard for this? Would your aggression in bidding going forward, would it be the same given now the equity outflow will be higher from our side?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

First of all, see, whatever bids we secured, they are not aggressive per se. So they are all well calibrated bids what we have done. And the second thing it's a 20% more funding to be done. So this will effectively result into only another 5% kind of equity because we have to get the debt for that remaining 20% what we have to fund, so we should be able to fund those kind of equity requirements even if NHAI goes for the 20% kind of the norm because earlier also, we bid for a conventional annuity project, wherein we used to put 100% of our entire funding from our side.

B
Bharanidhar Vijayakumar
analyst

So you don't foresee any issues from our side?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes. Yes. We don't foresee any major challenges in funding these projects.

B
Bharanidhar Vijayakumar
analyst

This will go just like annuity projects.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes, yes. Conventional annuity projects.

B
Bharanidhar Vijayakumar
analyst

Okay. The second question is on land acquisition status for the projects recently awarded to us, the 7 projects where there is not appointed dates declared yet. So what would be the land acquisition status there, 3G land acquisition there and when do you expect these appointed dates, sir?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Out of 7 projects, for 5 projects already 3D completed up to 80% and also the awards have been made under 3G and the distribution is under progress under 3H. And the 2 projects up to 60% awards have been made under 3G and distribution is progress under 3H. Since we have a 5-month time post signing of the agreement, both sides, this what we expect, the sufficient length of land would be available at the time of declaration of appointed dates, we don't foresee major constraint in that aspect.

Operator

The next question comes from the line of Mohit Kumar from DAM Capital.

M
Mohit Kumar
analyst

Congratulations on very, very good quarter. My first question is on the margins. So of course, margins have improved in this quarter. But last Q4 was the margin compression, given that the import inflation reducing, can we expect to go back to 14% margin for the fiscal?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Actually, in this first quarter, the margin is 14.5% EBITDA margin. And if we exclude the [indiscernible] of INR 37 crores, it comes to INR 12.83 crores. And if we exclude the [indiscernible] EPE, EPE business, where we are having a collection of INR 104 crores and margin only of 2%, then the operational EBITDA margin 13.5% of this quarter.

M
Mohit Kumar
analyst

So I'm asking, sir, about the expectation for the FY '23. Can we expect the margin going back to 14%, 14.5% given that the inflation is also easing now, right? Is that a fair assumption?

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

Yes, 13.5% to 14%.

M
Mohit Kumar
analyst

Understood, sir. Secondly, sir, you alluded to diversification of the order book. Of course, we have a large order book for UP. Do you mean geographically or sector you want to classify the order book? And apart from water, is there any segment you think you can build upon in the next few years?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

See, this, what we are looking at the diversification, the areas which will have a synergy with our operations, and water, of course, we are looking at the opportunities in the water sector. So if new further opportunities come, so we'll pursue those opportunities. And as of now, other than water, and of course, some kind of canal or irrigation projects apart from the road projects, now presently, we are not looking at any other specific sector to diversify into. And of course, geographically, we are always ready to take up the projects across the country should there be any good project opportunities.

M
Mohit Kumar
analyst

Lastly, sir, can we expect the completion of monetization in this fiscal, at least one of the BOT or HAM?

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

As regard to monetization, strategic adviser retained and discussions are underway with the potential investor for monetization of the few other funded projects, and we will keep you updated on the same going forward. Discussions are going on with the potential investor.

Operator

Next question comes from the line of Parikshit Kandpal from HDFC Securities.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Congratulations on a good quarter. So my first question is on the JJM project. So [indiscernible]

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Parikshit, could you come again, please?

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Sir, what is the execution or revenue booked from the JJM order during this quarter? That's my first question.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

See, so far, under JJM, we booked a revenue of around INR 250 crores. That includes INR 108 crores revenue what we booked during the last financial year. And we also done work done of another INR 150 crores, that revenue would be booking during the month of August. So I can say around INR 400 crores worth of value of work done until now under the JJM sector.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

So most of the other companies are seeing good execution engagement, but somehow we have not been able to catch up, these orders are like very old in the order book now. So if you can just spell out for this year, how much of revenue can we book from JJM orders and also outstanding on the backlog from the JJM?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

See, as you know, we secured projects under 3 different phases. First phase is a small surface water, which we have around INR 250 crores. And the Phase 2, we have around 1,600 gram panchayat with around 3,500 standard setting, and then Phase 3, we have another 1,500. That's also a similar kind of a thing. But so far, the DPRs for 702 GPs approved and the cover agreement signed with a worth of INR 1,552 crores. So the total order book, I would say, which is a executable order book, 1,552 plus Phase 1 is another 250, total we have order book of INR 1,700 crores. I would say that is a practical better order backlog. Out of these INR 1,700 crores, so we executed around INR 400 crores worth of projects work done now. Going forward, we should be able to execute anything between INR 1,200 crores to INR 1,500 crore during the current financial year.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Okay. And sir, so in the order book, how much is the total INR 20,000 crores order book, how much is the value of the JJM orders in that order book?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

It is now, as I said, 39%. Comes to around 39% up to -- including canal -- yes, yes, including canal, if you add -- 7,000 --35%.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Because, sir, you were also saying that --sir, you are saying that only INR 1,700 crores worth of order is right now executable. But you are saying in the order book about INR 6,000 crores is the value of the projects. So balance 6,000 minus 1,700. So that is not executable as of now, right?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes. See, but now they are progressively approving this DPR and another INR 1,000 crores worth of DPRs are going to be approved before the end of the current calendar year. And a total 1,500 worth of projects will be approved during the current financial year. So then the executable work would be around INR 3,200 crores. And the remaining they would be approving during the next financial year.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Okay. And just last question, sir, on the AP projects. If you can just tell us what is the progress and for total order book outstanding. What was the revenue booked for this quarter?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

AP?

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

AP irrigation project, what is the total revenue booked during the quarter? And what is the outstanding order book?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

See, AP is actually contract value is INR 1,000 crores, I think how much we booked?

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

Actually, we have done the work till as on date around INR 150 crores till date because certain works were not partly completed in June and not be booked in June, it was WIP and till date around INR 150 crores we have executed and remaining INR 850 crores we have outstanding as on date.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

Okay sir. Because there is no movement on this project also. So I mean water projects have been very sluggish for us from the execution side, in last quarter, the execution is only coming from roads, and though water starts contributing when the revenue can actually ramp up significantly, so just wondering why there is no movement on these water order book?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

No, no. In water, total payment received under Phase 1 and Phase second, we have received INR 377 crores including mobilization advance, yes. And work done is around INR 300 crores. We have received payment.

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

This year and the last year INR 100 crores, so INR 400 crores work done we have done.

P
Parikshit Kandpal
analyst

No, sir, the payment is fine, but execution is not ramping up, so is it because the government approvals are little delayed and that's the reason why we've not been able to ramp up in a year. I wanted to understand that.

Next question comes from the line of Jayesh Gandhi from Harshad Gandhi Securities.

J
Jayesh Gandhi;Harshad Gandhi Securities,Director
analyst

Congratulations on good set of numbers. So actually, I have recently started following the company. So my questions might be not very, very particular. One question which I have is, so when we get a HAM order, how much portion do we consider it as an EPC and recognize it in revenue?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

It is, you can say, 90% of EPC -- up to 90% of the EPC.

J
Jayesh Gandhi;Harshad Gandhi Securities,Director
analyst

I think what I'm seeing is EPC.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

EPC is construction cost.

J
Jayesh Gandhi;Harshad Gandhi Securities,Director
analyst

So if I'm getting INR 100 crores worth of a HAM order, EPC recognition is to what amount?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

It is INR 900 crore -- INR 100 crores and INR 90 crores.

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

See, INR 100 crores of typical HAM projects will roughly translate into INR 90 crores of EPC order.

J
Jayesh Gandhi;Harshad Gandhi Securities,Director
analyst

Okay. And that we take into revenue recognition as and when it is progressing? Or once it is completed there after that we take into revenue recognition?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

On a progressive basis…

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

On a progressive basis as and when physical work is done.

J
Jayesh Gandhi;Harshad Gandhi Securities,Director
analyst

Say, for example, if a project takes 2 years, 50% is completed this year and 50% next year. So 50% we take as revenue this year and 50%...

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes, yes. 50% of the EPC.

Next question comes from the line of Vibhor Singhal from PhillipCapital.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

Congrats on great execution again. Sir, just wanted to understand, sir, I don't know, I'm sorry if somebody has asked this question already before. So given that in this quarter, we have already done almost INR 1,700 crores of revenue, excluding the bonus of course. What is the full year revenue that we are looking at? So in terms of guidance, what is the revenue that we are looking for revenue and for margin for the full year?

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

Revenue would be around 15%, the guidance growth we are looking at this year, I see last year revenue of INR 6,306 crores. So with the 15% that should be around INR 7,200 crores this year for full year. And the EBITDA margin is, as our Managing Director told, it could be around 13.5%.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

13.5%?

B
Bhupinder Sawhney
executive

Yes, around.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

So sir, to do 13.5%, given that in this quarter, we did around 12.8%, if I exclude the early completion bonus. So do you expect margins to pick up in the next coming quarters, either because of commodity prices coming down? Or what would be the reason for that?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Next quarter, EBITDA margin is 13.53% after deducting bonus and EPE. EPE margin because EPE margin is only 2%. So operational margin of the road project is still in this quarter, 13.5%.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

[Foreign Language]

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

We are expecting same.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

Got it. Got it, sir.[Foreign Language] we have discussed a lot. So sir, as you rightly said, we should not [Foreign Language] execution starts [Foreign Language] are we looking to continue to bid for more orders in UP or other states? Do you think [Foreign Language] do you still think that we will continue to bid for these projects?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

We are bidding on the same area [Foreign Language] it is a natural phenomena. [Foreign Language]. It is responsibility of stage government, and directly district collector is responsible.

V
Vibhor Singhal
analyst

Okay, sir. Right. Sir, just last question from my side. Sir, asset monetization [Foreign Language] HAM projects [Foreign Language] what is the status? And when can we expect some good news on that front?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

We are expecting FY '23 and the discussions are underway with the potential investors.

V
Vibhor Singhal

Okay. So no change in that. So the discussions are still going on, and we expect to keep year-end [Foreign Language]

Y
Yogesh Jain

Yes. My area of question is regard to the impairment in the Aligarh, Ghaziabad project SMA 2. So wanted to understand that, why did we have to book an impairment during the sale of this project?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

That impairment we have already booked in FY '22. We have certain challenges are there because Ghaziabad in the SMA 2. We have to construct office learning. Our partner was not in a position to improve further money in the project, that's why we have Ghaziabad project.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

And this OMT contract, how much is outstanding now?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

OMT?

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

OMT I think is the -- peripheral expressways? Toll roads.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Toll collection has progressively whatever we get. So there is no order backlog bar as such as well as I think Q1, we have 100 -- in case we bid at 369, accordingly, it is outstanding around INR 175 crores in next 6 months.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

Okay. INR 175 crores. You've done good collection in this quarter. And on this, you have given the breakup of the 7 HAM projects and the break-up of the total value of INR 7,439 crores, that is the total EPC value of these 7 HAM projects, right sir?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Right.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

Sir, again on the JJM projects, what I can understand is you've done execution of INR 142 crores in Q1. And in August, you will be booking INR 150 crores of revenue in the JJM projects, so basically to INR 292 crore. And what could be the execution or what could be the revenue booking we can expect in the balance 8 months or INR 1,000 crores as you said, or it could be higher?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

It will be around INR 1,000 crores in total.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

This is you're talking about FY '23, INR 1,000 crores in JJM?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

FY '23 would be around INR 1,200 crores.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

INR 1,200 crores. And what could be the exhibition for AP project now because we have just done INR 150 crore. And you are saying, we couldn't see some pick-up in execution. What could be the exhibition, which we've done?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Which project, please?

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

Andhra Pradesh canal project.

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Yes, Andhra Pradesh canal project, we have done execution of INR 150 crores till now, INR 150 crores. And this financial year, because what happens only if they able to execute only for 6 months, because the remaining 6 months water comes into the canal system. So again, we'll resume the work in the month of January. So we will have another 3 working months in the current financial year.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

So that could only contribute another INR 150 crores?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Around INR 150 crores to INR 200 crores should be within the financial year.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

Okay. Vis-a-vis, in Q1, we have not done any revenue, right?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

There's no revenue in Q1, yes.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

No revenue in Q1. Is it possible to give us the breakup later of the irrigation and water project separately because we can see that last quarter, you had given the number of INR 7,800 crores, which has gone up by INR 8,000 crore. Obviously, there were some correction, which included in this escalation, but again the number has gone up by INR 200 crores. Is there any further changing in the project cost?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

No, that is only because of the inflation, escalation, change of the scope, writer variation. By offline, we will discuss, and we will give you. We'll share the details.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

So just this water project includes 60% of buyout items common and 40% civil work, right, JJM project?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Approximately.

J
Jiten Rushi
analyst

Okay. Can you give me the toll collection breakup for the quarter?

EPC is around INR 30,000 crores and HAM is around INR 20,000 crores. So it's been the ratio of 60:40.

Okay. And all these are still under the reduction in the EPC part from the NHAI from 30 to 20. So in this 50-odd projects, that is about INR 20,000-odd crore HAM. This crisis, obviously will not be there. Is there any change, which is already implemented or it is the same which was previously? So now the O&M is also removed from here, because that was the case earlier that we need to bid the BPC and the O&M. So you are in the same condition or the NHAI has removed the O&M part?

NHAI has removed the O&M part. It is now only there to quote only 1 BPC and certain percentage of that BPC will be paid as O&M and the 40% will be the payment during the construction.

Y

There are, as mentioned by our MD, there are INR 50,000 crore worth of road projects are on the anvil. So we are pursuing those opportunities. We will be bidding those projects before end of the Q2, that is before the end of September. So that's kind of what would be the ratio between water and all that to be able to tell going forward.

Next question comes from the line of Vasudev from Edelweiss.

V
Vasudev Ganatra
analyst

What is the competitive intensity that you're seeing currently?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

Compared to last year, what we see the intensity would be moderate this year because whatever the concessions given like bid security, waiver and also the dilution of the pre-qualification criteria with respect to turnover and net worth criteria. So those have been restored, so the bids have to be -- now bidder has to provide the bid security and also net worth criteria we also increased. So going forward, we see the intensity would be lesser than what it was last financial year.

V
Vasudev Ganatra
analyst

Okay. And the last thing that, how much of bids have you already submitted, if you can quantify that?

Y
Yogesh Jain
executive

See, as I said during the F Q1, a very few bids quoted by NHAI so whatever the bids we submitted, only there are only 2 bids are pending to be open, around INR 1,000 crores worth of those bids, 2 EPC bids, put together, INR 1,000 crores.
