CapitalHeight view - Hindalco Industries strength is being the largest aluminum
producer in India and possesses biggest copper smelting capacity plant in Asia.
Hindalco is tripling its production in aluminum with the help of various expansion plans
progressively going on specifically Hirakud’s and Brownfield and based near Bauxite
mines ensures low cost of production. Its Aluminum Segment has reported
improvement in margins due to higher LME prices & rise in product premiums while its
expansion capacity will kick start in FY12 boosting its volumes in FY13. Novelis too has
shown turnaround of its business on the basis of end of price ceiling contracts and
reprising of margins in North America. Novelis, particularly, improved the revenue
margin significantly for Hindalco. Its EBITDA run-rate of $200mn is expected to continue
and company will increase its North American shipments of aluminum for cans by 3%
increasing its Aluminum segment wise revenue.
With that, Hindalco sits on a heavy cash flow in near future with many expansion plans
going on its various business front at the same time. Its Aluminum segment reported
11% fall in revenue and consolidated sales too dropped by 8%. Undecided copper TcRc
due to rigid supply of concentrate is continuing to depress its copper margins and
company is in much need to seek copper mines and low cost of concentrate.
On the expansion side, its Utkal aluminum, Mahan Aluminum and Aditya Aluminum
plans are pushed back by 2 months and are expected to be completed by Q2-Q3FY12.
Hirakud plant is further proposed to be expanded from 213ktpa to 360 ktpa which will
require huge financing, burdening the liability side. Its Utkal Aluminum project cost is
increased by Rs. 400mn, Mahan and Aditya aluminum cost is increased by Rs 10bn to
Rs. 92bn as well. This signals a worrying cash outflow company is sitting on and it will
increase the consolidated debt as well in the near future. This will be only eased in
FY12 and there is no particular good news in earnings of the company for the time
being. We recommend SELL on Hindalco.

and expansion plans led other income of the company too declined by Rs. 377 cr
to Rs. 260 cr.

8 months i.e. inQ4FY12.
The company’s consolidated sales fell by 8% to Rs. 60, 722 cr due to weak
global demand.
Utkal alumina 1.5 mtpa aluminum refinery’s commissioning has been pushed
back to Q2 FY12 presents a major challenge in its domestic business front.
Commitment on Rs. 56b capex has been increased by 15pp to 81% taking
its project cost marginally higher to Rs. 400 mn. a worrying cash outflow for
Hindalco industries.
Aluminum business, one of its core business revenue fell by 11% to Rs. 48,901
cr due to lower LME and less demand in world markets and eroded its aluminum
business profit by around Rs. 750 cr.
In short term Hirakud’s expansion is seen in FY11 while most of its project are
completing in FY 12 & FY 14. Till then the company has a huge cash outflow to
maintain.
