Valuations ahead of fundamentals; d/g to SELL
TMX’s Q3 results (sales/PAT at Rs 11.5bn/Rs 762mn; +13%/+14% YoY) were
in line with estimates. Order inflows for the quarter were relatively strong
(Rs 12.3bn) after weak order inflows through H1FY15. We note that while the
results and order inflows are strong, our estimates factor in the same and
also a gradual pick-up in the investment cycle through FY16/FY17E. We

believe, current valuations are expensive given TMX’s expected returns and
growth profile. Maintain TP, however downgrade to SELL (from HOLD).

 Execution pick-up supports revenue growth: TMX clocked a revenue growth of
13%/9% YoY for Q3FY15/9MFY14 on a likely pick-up in execution in the Rs 17bn
CFBC boiler order from the petrochem sector. Revenue booking in the energy
segment was up by 20% YoY and that in the environment segment by 4% YoY.

 Lower input costs aid EBITDA margins: EBITDA margins expanded 250bps YoY to
11.5% as input costs came off on lower commodity prices. Gross margins for the
quarter improved 250bps YoY to 35.4%. EBITDA margins for the energy segment
expanded 60bps YoY to 11.5% and that for environment segment 500bps YoY to
7.3% (off a low base).
 International order booking aid inflows: During Q3FY15, TMX booked a CPP order
worth Rs 3.51bn for a cement plant in Africa, which supported order inflows of
Rs 12.3bn (-10% YoY) during the quarter. Implied order book at Q3FY15-end stands
at Rs 51bn (-11% YoY) and that for the group at Rs 62bn (-4% YoY).
 Losses in subsidiaries narrow down: Pro-forma losses in subsidiaries contracted
sequentially to Rs 185mn in Q3 (from Rs 491mn in Q2FY15 and Rs 241mn in
Q1FY15). While consolidated sales for Q3 were up 8% YoY, consolidated PAT was
down 7% YoY, possibly on continued losses in Thermax (Zhejiang) Cooling & Heating
Engineering and B&W JV.
