ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research

Despite the slowdown in passenger traffic growth witnessed over the past
two years, we believe significant growth opportunities exist for the
aviation sector in India due to the current low penetration of air travel. As
per the latest data, domestic pax per head in India (i.e. ~51 per 1000
population) is significantly lower than China and the US. Hence, we
expect strong growth in penetration of air travel over the next five to
seven years, which will be mainly driven by sustained growth of per
capita income, increased affordability accorded by healthy competition
and potential upgrading by the vast user base of Indian Railways.
however, sustainable growth to come only by keeping ticket prices low
Although SpiceJet (third largest player) has been successful in increasing
market share from 12.9% in FY09 to 18.1% in FY14 by keeping prices at
low levels and through fleet expansion, the high cost environment led by
currency weakness coupled with a demand slowdown in the past two
years have led to heavy losses (FY13 loss - | 191 crore, FY14 loss - | 1003
crore). Since aviation demand is very price sensitive, we believe
sustainable growth is possible only through cost optimisation. Dollar is
also one of the influencing factors as nearly 75% of total operating costs
are linked to the dollar. Hence, we believe strengthening of rupee would
aid in significant reduction in costs over the next two or three years.
Key challenge now to infuse funds to run business smoothly
Given the companys negative net worth of over | 1000 crore and loan
liability of | 1500 crore, funding the operations, going forward, would
remain a very challenging task for the company.
Margin expansion visible; upgrade to HOLD
Given the better profitability of international routes, we expect SpiceJet to
keep on adding new overseas routes to its kitty, which currently has
~10% share in total revenues. Further, we believe, strengthening of the
rupee against the dollar would play a key role in margin expansion, going
forward. However, maintaining caution on the aviation space, as a whole,
we remain neutral with a positive bias. We roll over our valuation base to
FY16E and upgrade our target price to | 21/share with HOLD rating on the
stock (i.e. 0.4x FY14E EV/sales). Any strategic tie-ups with foreign carriers
will remain a key upside risk to our call.

Expect revenue CAGR of 14% during FY14-16E

SpiceJet has reported revenue CAGR of over 30% during FY10-14 led by
a rebound in the economy and a favourable cost environment. However,
over the past 12-18 months, passenger traffic growth has remained
moderate due to higher ticket prices given the high cost environment.
Although we remain positive over the next two or three years with an
expected recovery in the economy coupled with the rupee strengthening,
we build in moderate revenue CAGR of 14% during FY14-16E.

Margins to improve led by strengthening of currency

FY14 has remained a challenging year for SpiceJet due to an adverse cost
environment. However, we expect the company to improve its margin,
going forward, led by strengthening of its position in international routes
and through cost rationalisation. We believe strengthening of the rupee
against dollar would play a key role in margin expansion, going forward.
