Analyst’s View
ISGEC Heavy Engineering is a well-known company that’s all about heavy engineering and manufacturing of industrial products like process equipment, boilers, and pressure vessels. They have a solid reputation and a lot of experience in the field, making them a great investment opportunity. They have a diverse product range, strong brand image, and strong relationships with clients from a variety of industries. Of course, there are also some challenges to consider, such as the ups and downs of the heavy engineering industry, competition from both domestic and international players, and the risk that comes with relying too much on a few key clients or industries. But things are looking up. The company is experiencing an overall increase in demand and has been receiving more export inquiries lately. The ethanol plant capacity is being increased. And that will, help in reducing it will not really change the revenue very much, but it will reduce the fuel cost, it will reduce some of the costs. To that extent next year, ethanol will show a better margin.

Investor Conference Call Highlights:
- The standalone result profitability is closer to normal both for the manufacturing and the EPC segment, results are also contributed by dividends from subsidiary companies.
- The management states that the consolidated results the profitability is better because of better profits in ISGEC Heavy Engineering Limited and profit with Eagle Press & Equipment Company Limited.
- Of the consolidated order book 77% is for project business and 23% for project businesses as on 30th Sept 2022.
- The order book includes Rs. 832 crores for export orders which is about 11%. The overall demand trend is encouraging as the inquiry position continues to be good, export inquiries have picked up. Mostly South East Asia, Africa and Central America.
- The order book for ISGEC Hitachi Zosen is INR 801 crores of orders as on 30th June, 2022. As per the management, the performance of Isgec Hitachi Zosen for the Quarter 2 was not very good because the amount of billing done was less, however the production was good.
- The revenue is recognized on the sale of goods basis at Isgec Hitachi Zosen. And equipment was not listed- the shipment was in the buyer’s port but the buyer was not ready for the shipment.
- Of the total order book 44% is coming from the PSU sector, largely central PSUs and two orders from state PSUs. While there are no issues in collecting receivables which are due, most of PSU sector orders are for a longer duration and have payment terms which are linked to milestones. The management is looking at shorter duration orders and better cash flows.
- Moreover, many PSU orders have price variation clauses which permit variations for changes in steel price based on the index, cement price, labor index and fuel. Some of them also have further variations allowed for copper, nickel and aluminum. The company is able to pass on only about 40%, 50% of the price variation (increase as well as decrease).
- All the private sectors and export orders are at fixed price.
- The consolidated debt is Rs. 1,177 crores as of 30th of September across all the group companies.
- In terms of term loans, about Rs. 100 crores of term loans are for the Saraswati Sugar Mills
which is for the ethanol plant that was established in December last year and Eagle Press has term loan outstanding of about Rs. 30 crores. The other term loan is for the Cavite Biofuel Philippine plant. The rest of the borrowing is working capital borrowing. - The construction at the Cavite Biofuel Ethanol plant in the Philippine has started and is expected to be completed by July 2023. The company is working on developing the feedstock and preparation for running the plant from August 2023. There is a quarterly cost about Rs. 8-9 crores per quarter which is largely for salaries. This quarter there was a large payment for insurance of the plant also and there has been some impact of the currency depreciation between peso, dollar, and rupee, according to the management.
- The capex to complete the plant is Rs. 180 crores and is being borrowed on loan in Philippines.
- The annual ethanol production capacity is about 42 million liters and so the expected revenue from the sale of ethanol biproducts is about Rs. 320 crores a year. But the price is fixed by the Philippine government, and they take into account the price of molasses and the price of sugar cane and based on that the price of ethanol changes every 15 days.
- The plant can run both on sugarcane and on molasses. The management expects after about three years, the plant to run 210 days on sugarcane and 120 days on molasses.
- Going forward the margins are expected to continue to improve because the raw material prices are stabilized, for manufacturing segment 8%-9% is sustainable, EPC segment 5%-6% is sustainable.
- Philippines plant construction has started, and the company is on schedule to meet the target date. It is expected to be completed by July 23, and expected to start operations Aug 23.
- There is a quarterly cost about Rs. 8-9 crores per quarter which is largely for salaries. This quarter there was a large payment for insurance of the plant also and there has been some impact of the currency depreciation between peso, dollar, and rupee.
- The capacity of the Ethanol distillery will be increased from 100 KLPD to 150 KLPD with a capex of Rs. 12.5 crores for the 50 KLPD expansion. It is a work in progress; and will get operational sometime by the end of January 2023.
- The capex & demand cycle sentiment is slowly turning to positive.. Power sector is seeing increasing demand while automobile is still slagging.
- There are lot of uncertainties because of the Ukraine war and demand in Europe almost finishing and there are expected recessionary conditions in Europe and North America.
- The management clarifies, “we will be going to 150 and we will be reducing the number of days the distillery will run which will give us efficiencies in operations and will pay back. However, if our distillery can use various raw materials and if it is found to be economical depending on the sugar price and ethanol price we could extend the season, but as of now if this is more for operational efficiency and to reduce the cost of production of unit of ethanol.”
- The management states that they are targeting an increase in the manufacturing turnover by 15%, while projects business is certainly expected to have positive single digit growth.
- The execution timeline for FGD is typically 36 to 50 months. The execution timeline for equipment for refineries and petrochemical can vary: if it is ISGEC it is normally anywhere between 10 to 14 months while if it is a joint venture with Hitachi Zosen it could go up to 21 months. Sugar plants and ethanol plants are normally anywhere between 12 months to 14 months and on the process side generally the cycle times are lower.
Analyst’s View:
ISGEC is a large heavy engineering company that is involved in diverse and multiple industry sectors like power, refineries, and others. ISGEC is a significant global player across business areas in Manufacturing and EPC. Comfortably placed to counter the Cyclicality of any specific industry as the company is diversified across different sectors. Exports contributed 10% of revenue, and 11% of the total orderbook. Exports expected to pick up as travel has opened up after COVID. Nonetheless, given the company’s strong track record, strong tailwinds of the industry, and sustained demand from its customer segments ISGEC remains a pivotal heavy engineering stock to watch out for. Management guided that the now no new major capex, with travels resuming exports may rise, debt level would go down in the near term and this would be favorable to the company. Overall, ISGEC is a candidate to keep a watch while the company is comfortably placed in the long term.

Investor Conference Call Highlights:
- Of the consolidated order book 73% is for project business and 27% for product businesses.
- The order book for Isgec Hitachi Zosen is INR 792 crores of orders as on 30th June, 2022.
- According to the management, manufacturing order book is very good at this point in time, actually booked for maybe 12 months now except orders where they cater to very short delivery orders, where the cycle time is 2 months or 3 months.
- Even though the steel prices are low margins would not improve as the order has been done at the high steel price. So, there will be a lag of a couple of quarters before you see higher margins coming.
- In Philippines plant company has started construction and getting good offers for it. So, in 12 months’ time, company would hope either the plant is sold, or they would start to run the plant. While it is reporting losses currently, management don’t see a huge financial impact.
- Company lost money in one export order, it’s a one-off loss. Impact of loss has been taken in the June quarter.
- Management expects that the manufacturing business margin going forward in a normalized scenario would improve significantly between 8% and 9%.
- Management said that in manufacturing, they are increasing order book by doing very marginal investments, like debottlenecking. In one particular area, they invested some amount of money to increase the output. Being hit by COVID and the project businesses were becoming increasingly difficult because of COVID conditions, labor shortages at sites.
- Management guided that debt level is high as there are some large duration PSU projects including the FGD projects which got extended due to covid and payments are linked to milestone, so borrowings should be coming down progressively over the next year.
- Management hopes that as they are having milestone project borrowing is going to come down substantially over the next one year as milestone gets achieved.
- Management think that export order book will build up progressively as travel has opened up.
- CapEx should be about INR 40 crores this year as they are implementing IT system and CapEx of close to INR 20 crores on the manufacturing side to debottleneck and to increase production.
- Management commented that there are a good number of projects coming up in the domestic sector. There is a lot of investments coming up by various refineries. The biggest growth is in the domestic sector for the kind of equipment Isgec Hitachi does. For Isgec Heavy, inquiry base for exports has picked up while order finalization is still slow and company is being selective in order booking.
- Client concentration of about 18-20% where Indian Oil more than 10% of total order book and in the case of NTPC, it will be less than 10%.

Investor Conference Call Highlights:
- The company’s EPC segment’s profitability was sharply lower due to a steep increase in material costs due to an increase in commodity prices, mainly steel, aluminium, nickel and copper, and time and cost overrunning EPC projects due to the impact of COVID-related disruptions coupled with a shortage of skilled manpower, a sharp increase in freight cost – both for purchase of materials and supply of goods to the customers along with higher employee costs.
- The management states that lower profitability on the EPC segment will continue for some time as the fixed price longer duration orders presently under institution were booked before the increase in commodity prices.
- The company’s profits in the Sugar segment are lower due to a a lower quantity of sugar sales i.e. 16.19 lakh quintals in FY22 versus 21.76 lakh quintals in FY 2021 due to lower exports.
- The Saraswati sugar mills plant is operating at full capacity.
- The construction of the the company’s Cavite biofuel plant in the the Philippines will be starting in June 2022 and it expects expectedto complete the plant by June 2023.

- The exports for this quarter were nil due to high competition from coastal states & lack of geopolitical stability in its key exporting countries like Afghanistan & Sri Lanka.
- The management states that it is not entering into any long-term tie-up for one particular product in the defence sector because the investments are heavy, the gestation period is high, and the market is also uncertain.
Analyst’s View:
ISGEC is a large heavy engineering company that is involved in diverse and multiple industry sectors like power, refineries, and others. The company saw a big decline in performance in Q2 due to rising commodity costs and the unavailability of skilled manpower. It also saw a delay in the shipping of major orders which led to the postponement of revenue recognition of those orders. The management expects the margins for ISGEC to remain subdued if the RM inflation continues to rise. The Philippines project had also gotten delayed due to COVID in the country and the management expects the projects to be completed in the next 10-12 months. It remains to be seen how long the inflated commodity price scenario continues and whether the company will be able to bring back margins to normal levels soon. Nonetheless, given the company’s strong track record, strong tailwinds of the industry, and sustained demand from its customer segments ISGEC remains a pivotal heavy engineering stock to watch out for.

- The company is looking to bag new export orders from Q4 when travel restrictions go away.
- Close to 1/4th of the revenues in EPC are for boilers.
- In boiler orders, the company only manufactures pressure vessels which are 15% of the boiler value and the rest is outsourced.
- The working capital of ISGEC is stretched due to a large portion of govt orders.
- Yearly revenue from the ethanol plant is expected to be at Rs 200 Cr.
