REAL ESTATE SECTOR
Industry recovery to be gradual at best
The real estate sector in India has seen a prolonged slowdown in demand coupled with increasing unsold units over the last five to six years.
Combination of high prices, poor execution from developers (denting consumer confidence), and lack of affordable products contributed to the
slowdown and eventual stress in the sector. Further, demand for new homes and launches fell to decadal lows in CY2017 led by host of regulatory INITIATING COVERAGE
events such as Demon, RERA, and GST. While we expect demand to recover from the lows seen in 2017, a full fledged recovery appears unlikely over the 13 April 2018
next 18-24 months. On the demand side, the key positives which will aid recovery from the lows are: (1) improved affordability, (2) Government push
and developer focus on launches of affordable homes where there is a latent demand, and (3) improving consumer sentiment post RERA. However a full Performance (%)
fledged demand recovery appears unlikely led by (1) muted jobs and salary growth especially in the IT/ITES sector and (2) lack of investor demand. On
the supply side, the key positives are (1) crash in launches over the last two years; (2) majority of the supply is coming or expected to come in at 1M 3M 6M 12M
affordable ticket points and (3) RERA will curb launches/supply over time. However concerns on supply side is (1) high unsold inventory levels at ~four
years based on last years absorption rate with only ~10% of inventory is read to move in where the demand is better; 3) around 35% of inventory is Sensex 1% -1% 5% 16%
3BHK and above where the demand remains slow; and (3) scalability of affordable projects given high land prices and low margins for developers. In
conclusion, real estate cycles are long in nature and in our view the sector in India has seen the worst in 2017 and from hereon we expect the recovery to
PEPL 0% -8% 29% 51%
be gradual at best. Top tier developers with strong execution track record, good product portfolio, and financial capability will be big beneficiaries of the
changing landscape in the industry.
Key thoughts/takeaways in this note: SOBHA -1% -11% 5% 34%
1. Demand outlook is neutral, Supply levels have started coming off; Expect the cycle to enter into a consolidation phase: Absorption and new launches
have seen consistent decline over the last six years, with 2017 levels below 2007 levels. Over the last two years supply has fallen at a faster rate than
GPL -2% -14% 13% 70%
absorption, thereby reducing the absolute inventory levels slightly in the market. Demand in CY17 is down 40% at ~200k units from the peak levels
seen in CY10-12. Our view is demand has bottomed out at these levels as is expected to see better trajectory largely due to improved affordability led by
(1) Housing price inflation lower than per capita income growth; (2) Decadal low mortgage rates; (3) government incentives/subsidies; (4) developer OBER -5% -5% 20% 33%
focus on compact/affordable homes. However full fledged demand recovery remains unlikely given weak job trends and outlook and lack of investor
demand. While inventory levels have receded slightly from the peak levels, it is still high based on the last two years absorption levels at ~ four years.
Going ahead, with industry focus on launching more end user centric projects and with RERA making it tighter to launch new projects, the new supply DLFU -4% -22% 21% 31%
will be at manageable levels. We expect the Indian real estate cycle to enter into a consolidation phase and recovery will be gradual at best.
2. RERA will over time aid consolidation in a highly fragmented sector: With the establishment of pro consumer RERA Act in 2H CY2017, the sector has
now come under regulation. The key impact of this over time will improve the consumer sentiment and gradually bring in consolidation in the sector,
which is highly fragmented with top 30 developers garnering only ~20% market share in top tier cities. However post RERA, we have already seen top 30
players garnering 40% of new launches. Given high liabilities for non compliance, restriction on usage of cash flows, and higher working capital
requirements, we expect marginal players to over time to exit the business. We expect project IRRs to fall from high 30-35% to ~20-25% post RERA.
3. Commercial real estate outlook remains healthy: Commercial RE has been resilient over the last few years with falling vacancies and rising rental yields.
Commercial RE in India is relatively consolidated market (top five players control ~20% of the supply) as higher capital requirements restricts the number
RESEARCH ANALYSTS
of players. The sector has seen declining supply with steady demand and outlook remains robust limited supply pipeline. Bangalore remains the best
micro market within commercial RE space and now is the largest market in India with annual absorption of ~10-11 mn sq ft. Despite the concerns of GIRISH CHOUDHARY
slowdown in IT/ITES hiring, the boom in captives of global firms have more than offset the absorption. girish@sparkcapital.in
Stock selection and view: We prefer developers with strong execution capability reflecting in positive operating cash flows track record, exposure to steady +91 44 4344 0021
micro markets (Bangalore), strong pipeline of launches , focus on affordable projects, and improvement in cash flows and return metrics. Indian Real estate
stocks have outperformed significantly over the last 12 months, with BSE Realty index doubling in CY2017. As a result, sector valuations are trading at GAURAV NAGORI CFA
cyclical highs and hence appear fully valued. Going ahead, we expect sector to enter in to a consolidation phase, as a result expect multiples to revert to gaurav@sparkcapital.in

#2. RERA will aid in increasing lost consumer confidence by increasing accountability for developers; Expect consolidation in industry to accelerate
on increased compliances and lower project IRR’s
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act which came into force on 1 st May 2016, seeks to protect home-buyers as well as help boost
investments in the real estate industry. The Act establishes Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in each state for regulation of the real estate
sector and also acts as an adjudicating body for speedy dispute redressal. This regulatory authority aims to safeguard consumers interest by
monitoring development process from registering to the delivery of projects.

RERA will accelerate industry consolidation as cash flows post RERA will be more back loaded leading to high equity requirements from developers
RERA if enforced stringently will warrant rethinking of the business model for most of developers

consolidation survive, leading to consolidation

SOBHA CMP Target Price Rating
Rs. 546 Rs. 550 ADD
Sales momentum to sustain; Appears fairly valued
We Initiate coverage on Sobha Limited, a leading developer with a major presence in Bangalore market with a ADD rating. The company has a
strong execution track record reflecting in consistent positive operating cash flow performance from its development business. Sobha posted COMPANY INITIATION
strong FY18 volume and pre-sales growth and with healthy launch pipeline in FY19, we expect ~29% EPS CAGR over the next two years. 13 April 2018
Investment thesis: Industry REAL ESTATE
High exposure to steady Bangalore market: Sobha’s core market Bangalore comprise of >50%% of its ongoing projects and 37% of its land bank.
Key Stock Data
Among the top tier cities, Bangalore is relatively a better micro market, in terms of affordability, inventory levels, job profile, and strong
commercial market. Inventory levels are lowest. Hence we expect Sobha’s residential portfolio, especially in Bangalore to post steady growth. Bloomberg SOBHA IN
Strong FY18 volumes and sales; New launch pipeline to drive sales in FY19: Sobha ended FY18 selling 3.6mn sqft, up 21% y-o-y. The absolute Shares o/s 95mn
volumes are back to FY14 levels. However, in value terms sales grew 28% y-o-y highlighting growth coming from premium projects surprisingly.
Market Cap Rs. 52bn
Bangalore continues to dominate volumes, with ~ 72% of total volumes. After a lull in launches from FY16 to 2QFY18, the company launched
~2.5mn sq ft in 2HFY18. Overall, based on the current visibility Sobha has ~14-15mn sqft worth of projects to be sold over the next two to three 52-wk High-Low Rs. 695-345
years, which will keep the sales run rate strong. Two good things about these launches are (1) 34% of the volume is coming up in affordable 3m ADV Rs. 240mn
segment where demand appetite is strong; and (2) ~51% of the volumes are coming in outside its non core Bangalore market. We factor ~10%

development business. This indicates company’s superior execution skills.
Debt reduction appears limited; Land bank monetization remains key for reducing debt levels: Despite strong operating performance over FY18- Public 1.2
FY20E, we expect limited absolute debt reduction given spend on land capex and higher working capital requirements. Net debt is of Rs. 23bn is
expected remain flat by FY20E, with ratios like net debt to equity to trend down to 0.75x from 0.8x and net debt to EBITDA. However, Sobha can Stock performance (%)
cut debt via its land bank monetization. Sobha has ~2500 acres of land bank, majority of which has remained in the books since its IPO in 2006 as
development potential of majority of the land bank appears limited. Sobha’s land book value is ~Rs. 25bn vs its debt of ~Rs. 23bn, hence this has 1m 3m 12m
dragged the company’s return metrics by 600-700 bps. Hence any land monetization will be a key monitorable to watch out for on Sobha.
SOBHA 0% -8% 51%
Earnings growth and return metrics: On the back of strong volumes in FY18, we expect company to continue to post revenue and EPS CAGR of
~15% and 29% over the next two years. Expect RoE’s to expand from 7% in FY18 to ~11% by FY20E. PEPL -1% -11% 34%
Valuations fairly valued: Sobha has traded at an average P/B of ~1.3x over the last seven years, which includes peak upcycle till FY14 and down
cycle till FY18. The stock currently trades at FY20E P/B of ~1.6x, which is around 20% premium to its historical through the cycle average. While
premium is warranted given Sobha’s strong execution track record, robust operational performance, and expansion in RoE, at the current levels RESEARCH ANALYSTS
the stock does offer meaningful upside. Initiate with an ADD rating.
