Fundamental Analysis Of Larsen & Toubro Ltd.

Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION, OBJECTIVES AND METHODOLOGY

A. Introduction:

The process of fundamental analysis involves examining the economic, financial & other qualitative as well as quantitative factors related to a security so as to determine its intrinsic value. While usually this method is used to evaluate the value of a company’s stock, it can also be used for any kind of security, like bonds or currency. Fundamental analysis is also known as quantitative analysis and involves delving into a company’s financial statements (such as profit and loss account and balance sheet) in order to study the various financial indicators (such as earnings, liabilities, revenues, expenses and assets).

Such an analysis is usually carried out by brokers, analysts, and savvy investors. The report “Fundamental Analysis Of Larsen & Toubro Ltd.” is aiming at understanding of Process of Equity research.

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS / EQUITY RESEARCH

A. Introduction:
Fundamental Analysis is a study of equities or stocks for the purpose of investments.

Equities or common stock comprises a big chunk in any company’s capital and shareholders need to know whether to stay invested in the company or sale the shares and come out. As an individual, it is time consuming to do Fundamental Analysis – that is to study the company, its financial statements, products, management and take a decision about investment. Exactly for the same reason there are people working in research companies whose job is to do Fundamental Analysis and recommend companies for investment.

* Purpose of Fundamental Analysis:
Purpose of Fundamental Analysis is to study companies, analyze financials, and look at quantitative and qualitative aspects mainly for decision: Whether to invest or not.

* Process of Fundamental Analysis:
Fundamental Analysis process comprises of multiple steps.
1. Economic Analysis
2. Industry Analysis & Company Analysis
3. Financial Statement Analysis
4. Financial and Valuation Modeling
5. Report writing
6. Presentation or recommendation

* Skills required for Fundamental Analysis:
1. Excellent financial analysis and research skills
2. Global and business analysis knowledge
3. Presentation and writing capabilities
4. Correct judgment

* Application of Fundamental Analysis:
Fundamental Analysis is used in many areas. Primarily, the research is used for the following purposes: 1. Investment evaluation
2. In Mutual Fund industry
3. For M&A deals
4. Financial Publications
5. Charitable endowments

* Two approaches in fundamental analysis:
While carrying out fundamental analysis, investors can use any of the following approaches: 1. Top-down approach: In this approach, an analyst investigates both national and international economic indicators, like energy prices, GDP growth rates, inflation and interest rates. The analysis of total sales, price levels and foreign competition in a sector is also done in order to identify the best business in the sector. 2. Bottom-up approach: In this method, an analyst starts the search with specific businesses, irrespective of the industry or region.

B. Detail Process of Fundamental Analysis / Equity Research:

1. Economic Analysis
Economic analysis is a process whereby the strengths and weaknesses of an economy are analyzed. Economic analysis is important in order to understand the exact condition of an economy.
Macroeconomics and Economic Analysis
Macroeconomics issues are important aspects of the economic analysis process. However, economic analysis can also be done at a microeconomic level. Macroeconomic analysis gives insight into the fundamentals of an economy - and the strengths and weaknesses of economies.

Macroeconomic analysis takes into account growth achieved by economy, or rather a sector of that economy. It tries to reveal reasons behind a particular economic phenomenon like growth or reversal of the economy.

Inflation and Economic Analysis
Many countries in the world are plagued by rising inflation. Economic analysis tells us why inflation has taken place. It also suggests ways in which the rate of inflation could be reduced, so that economic development could continue.

Economic Analysis and Government Policies
Government policies and plans that affect the economy have always been an important part of economic analysis. Since policies and plans adopted by a particular government are responsible for shaping an economy, they are always closely scrutinized by various processes of economic analysis.

Economic Ratings and Economic Analysis
Economic ratings are another important aspect of economic analysis, as it provides an accurate picture of how an economy is faring compared to others.

Economic Analysis and Comparison of Economic Policies It is a good way to analyze an economy by comparing its policies with those of other economies. This is all more applicable in the case of economies that are of similar types, for example developing economies.

World Economic Analysis
World economic analysis points out that each year more than 80 million people are added to population of world. This accelerates economic problems in global arena. This rise in population has led to severe problems like pollution, desertification, epidemics, underemployment and famine. There are numerous poorer areas in world, which are becoming even more marginalized from an economic point of view.

Global economic condition also talks about making of Euro as common currency of most of countries of Western Europe from January 1999 as being a significant economic move. But at the same time Europe Financial crisis creating lot of pressure on other economies. Contribution to world economy GDP is different for different sectors.

Unemployment rate, as was found by global economic analysis, was found to be 20 percent, which combines unemployment and underemployment. In developed countries unemployment rate ranged from 4 percent -12 percent. Major export commodities in world include electrical machinery, mineral fuels, nuclear reactors, boilers, and parts, cars, trucks, and buses, scientific and precision instruments, plastics, iron and steel, organic chemicals, pharmaceutical products, diamonds, pearls, and precious stones.

2. Industry Analysis & company Analysis
As an equity research analyst, you need to analyze a particular industry, see the past trends, demand-supply mechanics and future outlook. You might work on industries like Oil and Gas, Metal, Information Technology, Automobile, Financial Services, Infrastructure, Pharmaceuticals and Consumer durables.

In some companies, there is a dedicated industry analyst who will work on the assigned industry and provide the analysis. However, as an analyst you should know the industry dynamics and hence it is important to know how to do industry analysis.

Steps :
1. Read the available industry reports and statistics, see whether it makes sense to dig deeper.
2. There are sub-parts in industries. For example, if you look at chemical industry, you will find sub-industries like Fertilizers, Pesticides, Paints and Varnishes, Organic chemicals. It is important to focus on the relevant industry. Also look at the different market segments in a particular industry.

2. Look at the demand-supply scenario for a particular product/ industry by studying the past trends and forecasting future outlook.
4. Study the competitive scenario: There is a framework of industry analysis. It is called “Porter’s five forces” model. Michael Porter, a famous strategist and author, first came up with this model. In this model, five parameters are analyzed to see the competitive landscape. They are a) Barriers to entry,

b) Supplier Power,
c) Threat of substitutes,
d) Buyer power, and
e) Degree of rivalry
This model is used extensively while analyzing any industry.
5. Study and include recent developments, innovation in your industry analysis report.
6. Look at sector valuations and global comparative valuations.
7. The analysis should be specific to a particular industry and so it is important to focus and understand the industry dynamics.
8. Industry analysis should be in-depth and to-the-point. For example, if you are tracking aluminium industry, you should know per capita consumption in the country. In India, per capita consumption of aluminium is 1 kg, in US it is 25 to 20 kgs, in Japan it is 15 kgs, in Taiwan it is 10 kgs. Apart from the consumption, you should also know the production of aluminium worldwide.

The above steps are important and you, as an analyst, should follow them. The analysts in private equity, investments banks, equity research firms, investment research firms need this skill and if you know how to do industry analysis, you are ahead of 80% of the aspirants as this will not only impress your interviewer, but also add immense value to you and the company you are working for.

In company Analysis you have to see the following:
a. Company Management
b. Companies Growth potential
c. Relative performance of the company with reference to its competitors d. Companies market image and dynamism to adapt changes

3. Financial Statement Analysis
Financial statement analysis (or financial analysis) the process of understanding the risk and profitability of a firm (business, sub-business or project) through analysis of reported financial information, particularly annual and quarterly reports.

Financial statement analysis consists of 1) reformulating reported financial statements, 2) analysis and adjustments of measurement errors, and 2) financial ratio analysis on the basis of reformulated and adjusted financial statements. The two first steps are often dropped in practice, meaning that financial ratios are just calculated on the basis of the reported numbers, perhaps with some adjustments. Financial statement analysis is the foundation for evaluating and pricing credit risk and for doing fundamental company valuation.

4. Financial and Valuation Modeling
When trying to figure out which valuation method to use to value a stock for the first time, most investors will quickly discover the overwhelming number of valuation techniques available to them today. There are the simple to use ones, such as the comparables method, and there are the more involved methods, such as the discounted cash flow model. Which one should you use? Unfortunately, there is no one method that is best suited for every situation. Each stock is different, and each industry sector has unique properties that may require varying valuation approaches. eg. Banking, Infrastructure, service industry valued separately due to different segment.

Two Categories of Valuation Models
Valuation methods typically fall into two main categories: absolute and relative valuation models. Absolute valuation models attempt to find the intrinsic or "true" value of an investment based only on fundamentals. Looking at fundamentals simply mean you would only focus on such things as dividends, cash flow and growth rate for a single company, and not worry about any other companies. Valuation models that fall into this category include the dividend discount model, discounted cash flow model, residual income models and asset-based models.

In contrast to absolute valuation models, relative valuation models operate by comparing the company in question to other similar companies. These methods generally involve calculating multiples or ratios, such as the price-to-earnings multiple, and comparing them to the multiples of other comparable firms. For instance, if the P/E of the firm you are trying to value is lower than the P/E multiple of a comparable firm, that company may be said to be relatively undervalued. Generally, this type of valuation is a lot easier and quicker to do than the absolute valuation methods, which is why many investors and analysts start their analysis with this method.

Approaches to Valuations:
* Discounted Cash Flows
Equity Valuation
Firm Valuation
Adjusted Present Value approach
* Relative Valuations
Fundamental Relative ratios
Comparable relative ratios
Cross section and time series comparisons

5. Report Writing:
Based upon the valuation method selection the report is prepared. All of the above discussed factors are already considered in doing the valuation exercise. The report is expected to be simple in understanding and giving all the factors without leading to any misinterpretation.

6. Presentation or recommendation:
Report should be put in the presentable format. Reports always referred by professionals as well as investors. So it should be aesthetically nice with relevant data wherever required. In the report, recommendations should be given. The recommendation should be decisive and not ambiguous.

FACTORS & TERMINOLOGIES WITH RATIOS
3.1 Factors to know during Fundamental Analysis / Equity Research: i. Free Cash Flow:
Free cash flow measures how much money a company makes after deducting maintenance capex but before capex or expansion. This is important as it allows valuations of the existing business without harder to assess value of investment in expansion and new ventures. The latter may be worth more than the money that is being invested in them. How much more is hard to assess and valuing companies using their free cash flow sidesteps the question. This means that using free cash flow based valuation will undervalue the company which have particularly good opportunity to invest. It will also mean that it will overvalue the companies which are sufficiently badly run to make investment that destroy the shareholder value. The FCF is same as that dividend would be if a company decodes to pay out as much as it could in the dividends without either running down its operations or increasing its debt. FCF= Net Income+ Depreciation+ Deferred Taxes- Dividends Paid-Capital expenditures Element| Data Source|

EBIT x (1-Tax rate)| Current Income Statement|
+ Depreciation & Amortization| Current Income Statement| - Changes in Working Capital| Prior & Current Balance Sheets: Current Assets and Liability accounts| - Capital expenditure| Prior & Current Balance Sheets: Property, Plant and Equipment accounts| = Free Cash Flow| |

ii. Enterprise Value:
Enterprise value (EV), Total enterprise value (TEV), or Firm value (FV) is an economic measure reflecting the market value of a whole business. It is a sum of claims of all the security-holders: debt holders, preferred shareholders, minority interest, common equity holders, and others. Enterprise value is one of the fundamental metrics used in business valuation, financial modeling, accounting, portfolio analysis, etc. EV is more comprehensive than market capitalization (market cap), which only includes common equity. Enterprise value = common equity at market value+ preferred equity at market value + minority interest at market value, if any+ debt at market value + unfunded pension liabilities and other debt-deemed provisions - associate company at market value, if any - cash and cash-equivalents. * All the components particularly relevant in liquidation analysis, since using absolute priority in a bankruptcy all securities senior to the equity have par claims.

Generally, also, debt is less liquid than equity so that the "market price" may be significantly different from the price at which an entire debt issue could be purchased in the market. In valuing equities, this approach is more conservative. * Cash is subtracted because when it is paid out as a dividend after purchase, it reduces the net cost to a potential purchaser. Therefore, the business was only worth the reduced amount to start with. The same effect is accomplished when the cash is used to pay down debt. * Value of minority interest is added because it reflects the claim on assets consolidated into the firm in question. * Value of associate companies is subtracted because it reflects the claim on assets consolidated into other firms. * EV should also include such special components as unfunded pension liabilities, employee stock option, environmental provisions, abandonment provisions, and so on, for they also reflect claims on the company's assets. * EV can be negative in certain cases—for example, when there is more cash in the company than the value of the other components of EV.

iii. Method of Inventory Accounting:
Companies can generally account for their inventories a number of different ways. The most common are First-in, First-out (FIFO), Last-in, First-out (LIFO), and weighted-average cost. LIFO is permitted under U.S. GAAP but is not permitted under IAS. The choice of inventory method affects both cost of sales and inventory carried on the balance sheet. In periods of rising prices of inventory items (determined on a company-by-company basis), last-in, first-out (LIFO) will result in a conservative reporting of earnings. First-in, first-out (FIFO,) on the other hand, would report higher earnings relative to LIFO. In periods of declining prices for inventory items, the opposite is true.

The inventory method a company uses affects its costs of goods sold, or COGS, which has an impact on its profitability ratios. The formula for COGS is beginning inventory plus purchases less ending inventory. A company using FIFO to value its inventory reports lower COGS, which increases its gross profit margin (sales less COGS) and its net income all else being equal. Higher net income means higher profit margin. A company using LIFO reports higher COGS, translating into lower gross profit, net income and profit margins. This means earnings per share (net income divided by equity shares outstanding) is higher using FIFO all else being equal. As in the case of profitability ratios, the inventory method a company uses affects its balance sheet as well.

FIFO companies report higher inventory in their current assets. This results in a higher current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities). In contrast, a company using LIFO reports lower ending inventory, producing a lower current ratio. In addition, shareholder's equity is lower under the LIFO method versus FIFO because LIFO produces a lower asset base. Thus, assets minus liabilities produces a higher result under FIFO. Return on assets (net income divided by average assets) look better under LIFO than FIFO. Other balance sheet ratios to examine include return on equity (net income divided by average total assets), asset turnover (sales divided by total assets) and inventory turnover (COGS divided by average inventories). Tax law allows a company to value its ending inventory using LIFO as it results in a lower tax liability even though it reports FIFO for financial reporting. However, a publicly-traded company must disclose a LIFO reserve. When added together with the LIFO valuation, the LIFO reserve produces the valuation of inventory under FIFO for analysis purposes. Investors should also take note that in times of rising prices, LIFO valuation produces a more accurate assessment of a company's inventory. In such a case, inventories under FIFO may be obsolete and dated, which is not a true reflection of inventory costs

iv. Change in Depreciation Policy:
Types of Depreciation:
Straight Line Depreciation Method
Written Down Value Method
Effect:
Particulars| Straight Line| Accelerated (WDV)|
Depreciation Expenses| Lower| Higher|
Net Income| Higher| Lower|
Assets| Higher| Lower|
Equity | Higher| Lower|
ROA| Higher| Lower|
ROE| Higher| Lower|
Turnover Ratios| Lower| Higher|
Cash Flows| Same| Same|

Change in depreciation Policy of Jet Airways from WDV to SLM benefitted the company. Jet wrote back Rs.920 Cr into its P&L which helped the company to report profits during the quarter. It also helped Jet Airways to report higher networth. TCS the software major increased its depreciation policy in computers from 2 years to 4 years. As a result Q1FY09 PBT was higher by an estimated Rs 50 Cr. Subsequent years also this policy helped the company.

v. Operating and Financial Leases:
Finance Lease vs Operating Lease
A lease is a legal contract that gives the lessee a right to use the asset or product for a specified period of time which is often a large proportion of the useful life of the asset in return for a regular payment to the lessor, who happens to be the owner or manufacturer of the asset. A lease is a generic term that encompasses many types of leases in its fold. But in general, leases can be classified as broadly finance leases and operating leases. These are terms that are more useful for corporate customers, but one should be aware of such differences as leases are becoming increasingly popular these days. Finance Lease

Finance lease and operating lease are the most commonly heard leases in business world. They are similar in may respects though, there is a lot of difference in their structuring. In a finance lease, the lessor, who is the owner or manufacturer of the asset grants the rights of use that include risks and rewards to the lessee, who is the buyer of the asset. Risks include the technology becoming obsolete and those involving wear and tear as well as regular maintenance. In case of a finance lease, the lessee pays an amount that covers almost all the price of the asset and gets to use the asset for most of its useful life. This lease gives an option to the lessee to buy the asset at a greatly reduced price if he so desires after the end of the lease period. A strong feature of a finance lease is that it is not easily cancelled. If the lessee wishes to get the lease cancelled, he has to pay huge penalties. Operating Lease

This is a type of lease where lessor retains rights of ownership and even the risks and rewards lie with the lessor. Lessor pays for the maintenance of the asset during the lease period. Once lease has finished, the asset still has a good value left. This is because the lease period is for a minor part of the useful life of the asset. It differs from finance lease in that it is easily cancellable and is of shorter duration than a finance lease. One common example of an operating lease is installation and use of many computers in an office by a company. Here the user is not responsible for the maintenance of the computers neither is he worried about the systems becoming obsolete as all this is the responsibility of the lessor.

vi. Capitalization vs expensing:
Capitalize means cost as an asset on the balance sheet. These assets has future benefits. expenses are immediate and its future benefits are too uncertain or immaterial. E.g. WorldCom Case where $2.8B expenditure ‘line cost’ showed as capitalization. Management discretion in exercising these choices can significantly impact the financial statement and the ratios.

vii. ESOPS:
Employee stock options have an economic cost to shareholder and should be reflected in the earnings. Both US GAAP and IFRS now mandate expensing of options. Stock options are expenses at fair value or intrinsic value.

viii. Deferred tax:
When income and expenses are treated differently on financial statements then it arises on company’s tax return results as deferred tax assets or liabilities.

ix. Contingent Liabilities:
It is potential expenses for the company where outcome depend upon one or more future events. Contingency need to be disclosed in the notes of accounts.

3.2 TERMINOLOGIES WHICH MUST BE UNDERSTOOD FOR EQUITY RESEARCH:

A. FINANCE - FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

* Turnover Ratios:
* Fixed Assets Ratio
Asset turnover measures a firm's efficiency at using its assets in generating sales or revenue - the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low profit margins tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset turnover. (Sales / (gross fixed assets excluding capital work in progress - revaluation reserve))

* Inventory Ratio
A ratio showing how many times a company's inventory is sold and replaced over a period : (Sales / total inventory)

* ROCE (%)
A fundamental financial performance measure. A percentage figure representing profit before interest against the money that is invested in the business. (profit before interest and tax, divided by capital employed, x 100 to produce percentage figure.) (adjusted net profit + tax + interest) / (sharecapital + reserve + total debt – miscelleanous exp. Not written off) * 100

INTRODUCTION OF LARSEN AND TOUBRO FOR VALUATION

Larsen & Toubro Limited (L&T) is a technology, engineering, construction and manufacturing company. It is one of the largest and most respected companies in India's private sector. Seven decades of a strong, customer-focused approach and the continuous quest for world-class quality have enabled it to attain and sustain leadership in all its major lines of business. L&T has an international presence, with a global spread of offices. It continues to grow its overseas manufacturing footprint, with facilities in China and the Gulf region. The company's businesses are supported by a wide marketing and distribution network, and have established a reputation for strong customer support. L&T believes that progress must be achieved in harmony with the environment. A commitment to community welfare and environmental protection are an integral part of the corporate vision.

A. History of Larsen & Toubro Ltd.
The evolution of L&T into the country's largest engineering and construction organization is among the most remarkable success stories in Indian industry. L&T was founded in Bombay(Mumbai) in 1928 by two Danish engineers, Henning Holck-Larsen and Soren Kristian Toubro. Both of them were strongly committed to developing India's engineering capabilities to meet the demands of industry. Beginning with the import of machinery from Europe, L&T rapidly took on engineering and construction assignments of increasing sophistication. Today, the company sets global engineering benchmarks in terms of scale and complexity. In 1928, the two friends decided to forgo the comforts of working in Europe, and started their own operation in India.

All they had was a dream and the courage to dare. Their first office in Mumbai (Bombay) was so small that only one of the partners could use the office ata time! In the early years, they represented Danish manufacturers of dairy equipment for a modest retainer. But with the start of the Second World War in 1929, imports were restricted, compelling them to start a small work-shop to undertake jobs and provide service facilities. Germany's invasion of Denmark in 1940 stopped supplies of Danish products. This crisis forced the partners to stand on their own feet and innovate. They started manufacturing dairy equipment indigenously. These products proved to be a success, and L&T came to be recognised as a reliable fabricator with high standards. The war-time need to repair and refit ships offered L&T an opportunity, and led to the formation of a new company, Hilda Ltd., to handle these operations. L&T also started two repair and fabrication shops - the Company had begun to expand. Again, the sudden internment of German engineers (because of the War) who were to put up a soda ash plant for the Tata’s, gave L&T a chance to enter the field of installation - an area where their capability became well respected.

In 1944, ECC was incorporated. Around then, L&T decided to build a portfolio of foreign collaborations. By 1945, the Company represented British manufacturers of equipment used to manufacture products such as hydrogenated oils, biscuits, soaps and glass. By 1964, L&T had widened its capabilities to include some of the best technologies in the world. In the decade that followed, the company grew rapidly, and by 1972 had become one of the Top-25 Indian companies.

Today, L&T is one of India's biggest and best known industrial organisations with a reputation for technological excellence, high quality of products and services, and strong customer orientation. It is also taking steps to grow its international presence. The L&T vision reflects the collective goal of the company. It was drafted through a large scale interactive process which engaged employees at every level, worldwide. L&T has a global presence. A thrust on international business over the years has seen overseas revenues growing steadily. The company has manufacturing facilities in India, China, Oman and Saudi Arabia. It has a global supply network with offices in 10 locations worldwide, including Houston, London, Milan, Shanghai, and Seoul. Customers include global majors in over 20 countries.

PESTEL ANALYSIS,PORTER FIVE FORCES MODEL, SWOT ANALYSIS

Now here we do the Analysis of L&T with three different methods:

A. PESTEL Analysis

I. Political Factors:
(i) SEZ Act to Boost infrastructural Development:
SEZ is the new destination for real investor. Currently 150 SEZs are approved out of 85 SEZs are in the IT/ITES area and the 10-15 SEZs in the electronics area. 120 SEZs are developed by real estate developers which constitute of about 50% of the total SEZ area. IT SEZ should be developed and made operational within the period of six months from the date of notification. Thus, 120 approved SEZ would result in investment of US$ 12bn immediately. (ii) Cement Prices Reduced for State Infrastructure Projects: The continued thrust on the infrastructure development will provide impetus to the healthy growth in demand, protecting the bottom-line of cement companies to an extent. The expected reduction in the CENVAT and normal Freight rates on diesel and limestone will be marginally positive for some companies. (iii) FDI Liberalization to Augment Industry Growth: Recent amendments by the government have made accessibility to the required capital much easier. Opening of FDI in construction and allowing developers to raise capital in international market has led to development of larger projects benchmarked against international standard. (iv) REITs(Real Estate investment trusts) to Positively affect real Estate Business.

The proposed introduction of REMF(Real Estate Mutual Fund) and REIT will boost real estate investment from the small investors point of view. This will allow small investors to enter real estate market with the contribution as less than Rs10,000. The concept of REIT is on the verge of entering India and would be structured as company dedicated to owing and in most cases operating income producing real estate such apartments, shopping centres, offices & warehouses. (v) India's New Manufacturing Policy aims to create 100 million jobs in 15 years; grow manufacturing about 2% faster than GDP so that its contribution to GDP can increase from 16% to 25%; and increase technological depth and value addition in India's manufacturing to enable India to improve its trade balance which has been deteriorating with increases in imports (including large volumes of manufactured goods) exceeding exports. This will result in lot of new manufacturing facilities to set up.

II. ECONOMIC FACTORS:
(i) Growth in Construction Activity Stimulating GDP Growth: India is witnessing tremendous growth & expansion of construction activities and construction is largest component of GDP. It has been growing at a rate over 10% in the past few years when GDP growth is around 8%. Within construction; sector such as roads, railways, housing and power have been keen drivers. (ii) Rate Hikes Unlikely to Slow down Growth: It has been analysed that the residential prices has been increased by about 15-20% on average in the last one year. There has been strong growth in demand supported by rising disposable incomes, low interest rates, and fiscal incentives on both interest and principal payment and increasing urbanization.

III. SOCIAL FACTORS:
(i) Shifting Consumption Pattern to Fuel industry Growth The consumption pattern of Indian households is undergoing a gradual, but steady change. The share of food and beverages, which used to constitute almost 50% of household spend until 2002 is fall to 45% by FY08. We expect the share of discretionary items to consistently rise given the rising affordability and changing aspiration levels. Increased exposure to western lifestyle has altered the consumption pattern of Indian people.

(ii) Rising Urbanization to Boost Industrial Growth: Urban infrastructure consist of drinking water, sanitation, sewage systems, electricity and gas distribution, urban transport, primary health services, and environmental regulation. Many of these services are in the nature of local public goods with the benefits from improved urban infrastructure. The urban population in India will grow by 85 million over the next 10 years. (iii) Green Building in India:The green building movement has gained tremendous momentum during 2 to 4years, ever since the Green Business centre embarked on achieving the prestigious LEED rating for their own centre at Hyderabad. The Platinum rating for green building has sensitized the stakeholders of construction industry. There is tremendous potential for construction of green building in India. The estimated market potential for green building will be about $ 400 million in 2010.

IV. TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:
(i) Low Technology Adoption to Hinder Growth: The poor state of technology adopted by the construction sector adversely affects its performance. Upgrading of technology is required both in the manufacturing of construction material and in construction activities. As a large number of construction materials are manufactured in the unorganised sector, effective monitoring and regulation of the production of these material to ensure proper quality become difficult. Use of low grade technology in the construction sector lead to low value addition and low productivity, apart from poor or substandard quality of construction and time overruns in projects. (ii) Construction As Per Indian Requirements: The construction needs to be done as per Indian standards and requirements which will demand considerable changes from the international requirements. The Infrastructure requirements of India are much different as the population spread, increasing urbanization, increasing slums, the small space for roads, the water problems are more. (iii) Ready-Mix-Concrete being Experienced With: The Ready mix concrete business in India is in its infancy. For example, 70% of cement produced in a developed country like Japan is used ready mix concrete business there. Here in India, Ready Mix concrete business uses around 2% of total cement production. The increasing use of ready mix not only saves time but also improves quality.

V. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
* Technological solutions helps in integrating the supply chain, hence reduce losses and increase profitability * With the entry of global companies into the Indian market, advanced technologies, are used in engineering & Construction. * With the development or evolution of infrastructure sector, many of the MNC enter into Indian market * Environmental situation affect the infrastructure sector. * Infrastructure such as roads and bridges affect the many sector such as automobile sector etc.

VI. LEGAL FACTORS
* Ensure a balanced transition to open trade at minimal risk to the Indian economy and local industry. * Indian government infrastructure policy aimed at promoting an integrated, phased and conducive growth of the Indian infrastructure sector. * Confirms the government’s intention on harmonizing the regulatory standards with the rest of the world * Establish an international hub for engineering & construction companies so that new technology can be used. * Legal provisions relating to safety measures

A. PORTER FIVE FORCES MODEL:

1. Threat of New Entrants: Low threat of new entrant due to * Economies of scale
* Labour Intensity
* High Capital Requirement
* Lack of Knowledge and Experience
* Access to input
* Access to market
2. Supplier’s Bargaining Power:
High Bargaining power of supplier. Suppliers of construction materials are fragmented and are extremely critical for this industry since most of the construction work is outsourced. Proper supply chain management is a costly yet critical need. 3. Buyer’s Bargaining Power

The Bargaining power of buyer is low/moderate. Buyers in Engineering & construction sector have less choice due to limited number of players. The market forces haven’t empowered the buyers to a large extent. 4. Industry
Rivalry: The industry rivalry is high. This instinct of the industry is primarily driven by the technical capabilities acquired over years of gestation under the technical collaboration with international players and the completion of project ontime. 5. Substitute: There is no perfect substitute to this industry. It will be effected only when the country is fully developed than the company need to look forward towards the emerging economies.

B. SWOT ANALYSIS

i) Strengths
* Larsen and Toubro (L&T) is India's largest engineering and construction company. * It has created international presence by operating supply network offices in 10 locations worldwide, including Houston, London, Milan, Shanghai and Seoul. * L&T has created a strong brand name by building world’s largest Tubular Reactor for a petrochemical plant and has also built world's longest Product Splitter and longest LPG pipeline. * Larsen and Toubro's order book has reported continuous growth. The company has a strong pipeline of projects in domestic as well as international markets, which is likely to ensure a steady revenue growth ii) Weaknesses

* In spite of having a diversified expertise, the revenues of the company are highly concentrated iii) Opportunities
* The company has acquired the switchgear business of TAMCO Corporate Holdings of Malaysia in April 2008.With TAMCO the company will be able to offer a comprehensive range of MV switchgear and become a significant player in the MV segment in India. Further L&T’s TAMCO switchgear acquired Henikwon coporations in July 2012. Henikwon is in LV & MV Busduct Manufaturer. * L&T has also entered into various joint ventures in the recent past. L&T has joint venture agreement with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and A.A. Turki Contracting & Trading Corporation (ATCO) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. * These joint ventures boost and strengthen the operational efficiency of the company, as well as provide it with avenues to generate additional revenues and also leverage its strong presence in order to exploit the growing capital goods and infrastructure industry * Growing Indian capital goods and infrastructure industry as the government has planned a series of measures to encourage private sector participation and increase spending on infrastructure. Capacities are being ramped up in Railways, Roads, Ports, Airports and Urban infrastructure to sustain the momentum of double digit growth in the industrial sector. iv) Threats

* Larsen & Toubro faces stiff competition in the international market with construction majors in the Middle East including ABB of Sweden and Bechtel of the US. Stiff competition could erode the company's market share and reduce its profitability. * Engineering and construction companies such as Larsen & Toubro (L&T) are facing pressure on their earnings due to the high interest rates on working capital. L&T's interest costs increased in the first six months of FY2012, which would impact its profit before tax (PBT). Rising interest rates would put pressure on the margins of the company.

LARSEN AND TOUBRO EQUITY VALUATION
Equity Valuation based on Discounted Cash Flow Model:
Step by step process for DCF
Step 1 – Enter historical financial information in the DCF valuation Enter historical information
Enter the historical information of the company you wish to value, this information can be found in an annual report. It depends on what company you wish to estimate value of. The CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) and the percentage numbers will be calculated automatically when you have entered all information. Below is a picture of the information you should fill in: (Values in Cr)| 2008| 2009| 2010| 2011| 2012| CAGR (08-12)| Total Income (Sales)| 26274.4| 35747.33| 38792.94| 45918.88| 55103.57| 20.34%| Growth rate| | 36.05%| 8.52%| 18.37%| 20.00%| |

Total Expenditure (Cost)| 22750.6| 30275.32| 31757.93| 38698.81|
47326.47| 20.10%| % Sales| 86.59%| 84.69%| 81.87%| 84.28%| 85.89%| | Operating Profit (EBITDA)| 3523.8| 5472.01| 7035.01| 7220.07| 7777.1| 21.89%| % Margin| 13.41%| 15.31%| 18.13%| 15.72%| 14.11%| | Depreciation| 195.94| 284.83| 383.65| 599.22| 699.46| 37.45%| Depr % Sales| 0.75%| 0.80%| 0.99%| 1.30%| 1.27%| | EBIT| 3327.86| 5187.18| 6651.36| 6620.85| 7077.64| 20.76%| Total Taxes| 980.82| 1227.84| 1638.17| 1943.58| 1853.83| | NOPAT| 2347.04| 3959.34| 5013.19| 4677.27| 5223.81| 22.14%| Net Cash Used in Investing Activities (Capex)| | 1198.15| 1377.24| 1152.63| 960.79| | | | 3.35%| 3.55%| 2.51%| 1.74%| |

Steps
1. Enter net sales, total costs, EBITDA, Depreciation & Amortization for each year, which will sum up to EBIT. 2. Enter taxes paid, in this example actual data used instead 30%, but it varies from country to country. 3. Enter Capex (Capital Expenditure) which is the annual investments for the company each year. This is normally specified in the Annual Report under Cash Flow Statement. If you cannot find the information in the Annual Report you can also take the difference from two years in tangible assets. For example, if the company had tangible assets of “100″ in year 2010 and ”110″ in 2011, the company spent “10″ on investments (CAPEX) during 2011. The historical information will be used to make “likely” forecasts of sales growth and EBITDA margins which will be performed in coming steps. Step 2 – Enter historical working capital

In step two we are entering historical information. This is needed in order to make good prediction of future working capital needed. The working capital is such an important and difficult input, which needs some extra attention. In the picture below we have the information you should supply in order to calculate the change in net working capital. Amount in Rs. Cr| 2008| 2009| 2010| 2011| 2012|

Total Income (Sales)| 26274.37| 35747.33| 38792.94| 45918.88| 55103.57| | | 36.05%| 8.52%| 18.37%| 20.00%|

Increase/Decrease in NWC| | 2975.97| -486.86| -1821.16| 2570.79| Unlevered Free Cash Flow(FCF)= Net Income+ Depreciation+ Deferred Taxes- Dividends Paid-Capital expenditures| | 6021.99| 3532.74| 2302.7| 7533.27| Steps

1. Enter Account receivables,
2. Inventory and
3. Prepaid expenses and other
4. This information will sum up to Total Current Assets
5. Enter Account payable,
6. Accrued Liabilities and
7. Other Current Liabilities
8. This will sum up Total Current Liabilities
9. The total Net Working Capital will now be calculated automatically in the model Step 3 – Make future projections
The projections in the DCF model have large impact on the valuation, therefore, this step is extremely important. We will now use the historical information as a base in order to make good and likely projections of the future. In the picture below we have the information which should supply. However read the instructions below the picture before you make your
assumptions and input. (Values in Cr)| 2008| 2009| 2010| 2011| 2012| CAGR (08-12)| 2013| 2014| 2015| 2016| 2017| Total Income (Sales)| 26274.4| 35747.33| 38792.94| 45918.88| 55103.57| 20.34%| 61716| 69121.9| 77416.5| 86706.5| 97111.3| Growth rate| | 36.05%| 8.52%| 18.37%| 20.00%| | 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| Total Expenditure (Cost)| 22750.6| 30275.32| 31757.93| 38698.81| 47326.47| 20.10%| 52249.89| 58519.87| 65542.26| 73407.33| 82216.21| % Sales| 86.59%| 84.69%| 81.87%| 84.28%| 85.89%| | 84.66%| 84.66%| 84.66%| 84.66%| 84.66%| Operating Profit (EBITDA)| 3523.8| 5472.01| 7035.01| 7220.07| 7777.1| 21.89%| 9466.11| 10602.05| 11874.29| 13299.21| 14895.11| % Margin| 13.41%| 15.31%| 18.13%| 15.72%| 14.11%| | 15.34%| 15.34%| 15.34%| 15.34%| 15.34%| Depreciation| 195.94| 284.83| 383.65| 599.22| 699.46| 37.45%| 802.31| 898.58| 1006.42| 1127.18| 1262.45| Depr % Sales| 0.75%| 0.80%| 0.99%| 1.30%| 1.27%| | 1.30%| 1.30%| 1.30%| 1.30%| 1.30%| EBIT| 3327.86| 5187.18| 6651.36| 6620.85| 7077.64| 20.76%| 8663.81| 9703.46| 10867.88| 12172.02| 13632.67| Total Taxes| 980.82| 1227.84| 1638.17| 1943.58| 1853.83| | 2599.14| 2911.04| 3260.36| 3651.61| 4089.8| NOPAT| 2347.04| 3959.34| 5013.19| 4677.27| 5223.81| 22.14%| 6064.66| 6792.42| 7607.51| 8520.42| 9542.87| Net Cash Used in Investing Activities (Capex)| | 1198.15| 1377.24| 1152.63| 960.79| | 2160.06| 2419.27| 2709.58| 3034.73| 3398.90| | | 3.35%| 3.55%| 2.51%| 1.74%| | 3.50%| 3.50%| 3.50%| 3.50%| 3.50%| Steps

1. Make projections of future sales by looking at historical values – In this example the business has had an annual organic growth between 9% and 36% implying a CAGR of 20.34%. This is normally a good measure for future estimates. However, to be at safer side we use an annual growth of 12% in this example. 2. EBITDA margins – look at historical values. This company has had EBITDA margins in the range of 13.5 – 18% in the past few years. In our example we have chosen to use an approx average value of the historical information in the projection period, implying 15.34%. This number will determine EBITDA in the projection period. 3. Depreciation and amortization – look at historical depreciation in relation to sales and use an average from these year to use in the projection period. In this case, it was quite simple, we used 1.3% of sales. 4. Taxes – use either the historical tax level or the business tax applied in your region. We have used 30% in this example. 5. CAPEX – Determine capital expenditures that you believe the company will have in the future. This is quite difficult to estimate, therefore, use an average of the last five years in relation to sales. In our example the capex actually decreased between 2009 and 2012, which might be inappropriate. However, after viewing the discussions of the management on CNBC18 and reading the annual report of the company we decided to use 3.5% of sales Step 4 – Calculate Unlevered Free Cash Flow, DCF model

We shall now calculate the unlevered free cash flow, but first we need to make some assumptions regarding the working capital and estimate the needs in the projection period. Amount in Rs. Cr| 2008| 2009| 2010| 2011| 2012| CAGR| 2013| 2014| 2015| 2016| 2017| Total Income (Sales)| 26274.37| 35747.33| 38792.94| 45918.88| 55103.57| 20.34%| 61715.998| 69121.918| 77416.548| 86706.534| 97111.318| | | 36.05%| 8.52%| 18.37%| 20.00%| | 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| 12.00%| Current Assets, Loans & Advances| | | | | | | | | | | | Inventories| 4305.91| 5805.05| 7723.44| 1577.15| 1776.62| | | | | | | Sundry Debtors| 7365.01| 9903.13| 11158.4| 12427.6| 18729.8| | | | | | | Cash and Bank| 964.46| 775.29| 1431.87| 1729.55| 1778.12| | | | | | | Loans and Advances| 3771.4| 5840.92| 6081.6| 15957.5| 17002.9| | | | | | | Total Current Assets| 16406.78| 22324.4| 26395.3| 31691.8| 39287.5| 3.99%| 41133.8| 46069.8| 51598.2| 57790| 64724.8| % Sales| 62.44%| 62.45%| 68.04%| 69.02%| 71.30%| | 66.65%| 66.65%| 66.65%| 66.65%| 66.65%| Less : Current Liabilities & Provisions| | | | | | | | | | | | Current Liabilities| 11741.72| 14776.2| 19090.5| 26392.1| 31307| | | | | | | Provisions| 2035.42| 1942.63| 2186.04| 2002.1| 2112.04| | | | | | | Total Current Liabilities| 13777.14| 16718.8| 21276.5| 28394.2| 33419.1| | 34133.2| 38229.2| 42816.7| 47954.7| 53709.3| | 52.44%| 46.77%| 54.85%| 61.84%| 60.65%| | 55.31%| 55.31%| 55.31%| 55.31%| 55.31%|

Steps
1. Estimate total current assets in the projection period. Use the average during the past four years in relation to sales 2. Estimate total current Liabilities in the projection period. Use the average during the past four years in relation to sales 3. The net working capital will now be calculated automatically based on your above input 4. The difference (increase or decrease) between e.g. 2012 and 2011 will now be subtracted or added to the cash flow. A growing business will normally take on more working capital for each year, which will lower the free cash flow 5. The Free Cash Flow can now be calculated for every year in the projection period! Step 5 – Target Capital Structure and Beta

This section is for you who have access to a database such as Bloomberg, Reuters and capital line etc. If you do not have such access, you can type in: β= Covim/σ2m where Covim=Covarience of Market and Stock value

σ2m= variance of Market and β = Volatility
Step 6 – Determine WACC
The capital structure is given from the previous step and works as a base for determining WACC in the calculation below. WACC| Column1|
Debt to Equity Ratio| 0.38|
COST OF EQUITY| |
Risk free rate (Rf)| 8.00%|
Market Risk Premium| 7.00%|
Levered Beta| 1.509|
size of premium| |
| |
Cost of Equity| 18.56%|
COST OF DEBT| |
Cost of debt| 9.00%|
Taxes| 30.00%|
After Tax Cost of Debt| 6.30%|
| |
Final WACC| 13.91%|
Assumptions for WACC
1. Enter the risk free rate. This is the same rate as the 10-year treasury bond and can most likely be found on government’s website like www.rbi.org.in 2. Enter the market risk premium – this is used to adjust for specific company risk and should be 7.0% according Research firm report. 3. The Levered Beta is given from previous exercise

4. Now add a size premium according to Research report as well. We have used NIL% since analyzed company L&T is pretty large. 5. Now enter cost of debt, the rate which your company gets to borrow money at. If you are not sure, you can calculate the rate by dividing interest paid during the last financial year with total debt 6. Enter the tax-rate for the company’s current country – so that the tax-shield deduction can be calculated Step 7 – Present value of free cash flow

Next step is to calculate the present value of the generated cash flows in the projection period. Data| 2008| 2009| 2010| 2011| 2012| CAGR| 2013| 2014| 2015| 2016| 2017| Unlevered Free Cash Flow| | 6021.99| 3532.74| 2302.7| 7533.27| | 5839.06| 6111.81| 6845.22| 7666.65| 8586.65| Discount period| | | | | | | 0.5| 1.5| 2.5| 3.5| 4.5| Descount factor | | | | | | | 0.93695| 0.82253| 0.72207| 0.63389| 0.55648| PV of free cash flow| | | | | | | 5470.91| 5027.11| 4942.76| 4859.82| 4778.28| Steps

1. Make sure the WACC is correct according to step 6
2. The Discount Period is set according to the mid year method and could be leaved as is since the cash flow is evenly generated through the year
3. The Discount Factor is calculated with WACC and the chosen Discount Period 4. The present value of the free cash flow is now automatically generated. Step 8 – Calculate Terminal Value

The terminal value has the largest impact on the valuation and it is extremely important that this input is correct performed. Most values are already given as can be seen below:
Terminal Value| Sales Growth 12%|
Terminal Year FCF| 8586.646|
Perpetual Growth| 4%|
Terminal year Ebitda| 14895.11|
Term value| 90099.46|
Implied Exit Multiple| 6.05|
Disc Period| 5|
Discount Factor| 0.56|
PV of Terminal Value| 50138.34|
% of Enterprise Value| 66.66%|
Steps
1. Perpetuity growth rate is the rate at which the economy is expected to grow, this is normally 2.5% or 4%.We have taken this as 4% as our country is a emerging economy and expected to grow consistently at least few decades with comparatively healthy growth rate. 2. Make sure the implied exit multiple isn’t too high, since that probably means your assumptions are too aggressive in the terminal year. Another way of “judging” if this value is too high, is if you put it in the relation of the later calculated enterprise value. If the terminal value is more than 80% of the enterprise value, it is likely that something is wrong with your assumptions Step 9 – Enterprise Value

The DCF valuation is almost done, you have made all the inputs required and the enterprise value is already calculated. Now we will try to describe the results and make sensitivity analysis. Below are the results in our valuation example:

Terminal Value| Sales Growth 12%|
Terminal Year FCF| 8586.646|
Perpetual Growth| 4%|
Terminal year Ebitda| 14895.11|
Term value| 90099.46|
Implied Exit Multiple| 6.05|
Disc Period| 5|
Discount Factor| 0.56|
PV of Terminal Value| 50138.34|
% of Enterprise Value| 66.66%|
For Intrinsic Value| Column2|
PV of Future CF| 25078.89|
Enterprise Value| 75217.23|
Less Debt| 8266.78|
Add cash & Equivalent| 10279.56|
Implied Equity Value| 77230.01|
equity shares| 61.24|
Intrinsic Value of share| 1261.10|
Comments
In the results above you can see the enterprise value of the business and some multiples on the 2012 years estimated results. You should also enter debt, cash and outstanding shares to get additional information on your valuation. Step 10 – DCF Sensitivity Analysis

With this sensitivity analysis you can see how the valuation changes with different assumptions and changes in input. Example change in WACC, Risk free interest rate. macroeconomic condition etc. Terminal Value| S Gr 8%,P Gr 2%| S Gr 12%,P Gr 4%| S Gr 15%,P Gr 4%| Terminal Year FCF| 6855.29| 8586.65| 10092.75|

Perpetual Growth| 2.00%| 4.00%| 4.00%|
Terminal year Ebitda| 12418.59| 14895.11| 16999.76|
Term value| 58703.46| 90099.46| 105902.95|

% of Enterprise Value| 60.16%| 66.66%| 67.86%|
For Intrinsic Value| Column2| Column2| Column2|
PV of Future CF| 21637.59| 25078.89| 27913.30|
Enterprise Value| 54304.76| 75217.23| 86845.93|
Less Debt| 8266.78| 8266.78| 8266.78|
Add cash & Equivalent| 10279.56| 10279.56| 10279.56| Implied Equity Value| 56317.54| 77230.01| 88858.71|
equity shares| 61.24| 61.24| 61.24|
Intrinsic Value of share| 919.62| 1261.10| 1450.99|

Comments:
To perform a sensitivity analysis like this, we should use the exact value of companies WACC, EBITDA %, and vary Perpetuity Growth and annual sales growth.

Valuation Range
It is now time to decide the valuation range for the company. In the above example valuation range can be achieved by changes in perpetual growth rate from 2% to 4% and sales growth rate from 8% to 15% which gives valuation range between approximately 920 – 1451!

INTERPRETATION / ANALYSIS
Interpretation:
* If the actual price of the share in the market is more than intrinsic value (calculated price using models) of the stock then sell the share and if the Intrinsic value of share more than the Market value of the share then buy is recommended on the stock. * From the following table we can see that EPS of L&T expected to increase consistently. This will result in good market value in future.

Further, though L&T is having lot of competition in the market but it has pricing power due to its timely execution capability. * Due to emerging market growth story still intact, L&T is expected to do very well not only in India but also abroad. This may result in expected sales growth much higher than our conservative estimation as shown above. * From the following graph which represents the latest market quote, it can be seen that the intrinsic value of the L&T is less than the prevailing market price at conservative growth expectations. But the same stock is a good buy if the prevailing market price decrease any point of time Larsen & Toubro One Year chart:

CONCLUSION
Through the above analysis we can conclude that:
* Valuation of equity can be influenced by mainly following factors: Expected sales growth rate, WACC of the company, macroeconomic factors etc * Valuation of stock has many different approaches. Application of all the approaches in practical is difficult and thus their results could be different. * The challenges before L&T is to ramp up its ability to meet the ever increasing demand for creation of world class infrastructure at a fast pace. The biggest constraints in capacity buildings are seen to be shortage of skilled manpower at all levels and with all players of the industry. Labor reforms are expected to be implemented by the Government which may result in high availability of skilled manpower. Government thrust on implementation of new manufacturing policy will result in creation of many indusrial area and demand for the construction activities. * Infrastructure thrust by the government of India will create more opportunities for L&T. * Our View & Valuation

L&T delivered the results ahead of estimates. The company has demonstrated strong execution and is best placed among its peers to benefit from revival in industrial capex. However, considering recent run up in stock price we change our recommendation on the stock to “ACCUMULATE” from “BUY” with price target of Rs 1,261 for basic business ( based on Intrinsic Value). However Sum of total Parts is very high i.e. 25% more than the basic business valuation which gives valuation of Rs.1524 at the moderate estimates.

* From this project report we have learnt the following:
How the fundamental analysis carried out?
How the Macro economical factors are favorable to companies like L&T? What are the factors should be considered for valuations?

Chapter 9

LIMITATIONS FOR THE STUDY
The study has certain limitations like
* The study was conducted only on one company of infrastructure: L&T. * The methods of valuation may differ a lot in practical from that what analysts adopt. * The values taken by financial analysts somehow differ from is taken or calculated. * Stock market and the prices of stock are driven by the sentiments of investors, any news from Govt and information from insider of the company. * Information on average normal growth rate of industry was not available. * I have used only DCF model for valuing the companies.

* Since there are too many economic indicators and extensive macroeconomic data, it can confuse novice investors. * The same set of information based on macroeconomic indicators may have varied effects on same currencies at different times. * It is useful only for long-term investments.
