ACCUMULATE
CMP: Rs1,184 Target Price: Rs1,290
n EBITDA of Rs2.2bn (+30% yoy) below est dragged by higher P&F costs (Rs972/t +30% yoy) & higher other expenses (Rs5.2bn vs est of Rs4.78bn). Total cost/t up 12% at Rs3394

n Downgrade CY11EPS by 2.4% led by higher costs. However momentum in cement price hikes (Oct-11 prices already up Rs18-20/bag from Q3CY11 avg) lead to higher exit realizations driving 2.8% upgrade in CY12 earnings
n Introduce CY13 EPS at Rs87. Improving margins with minimal capex to drive significant FCF & healthy volume growth to improve return ratios. Upgrade to Accumulate -revised target to Rs1290 by rolling over valuations to CY13
