Resumption of growth after 12 quarters of flat sales and profit growth.
Rising dividend payout indicates better prospects for the company and the management seems willing to share growing
cash flow with minority shareholders.
The Company plans to invest about Rs.200 crores in the next three years towards setting up a new forging facility and
enhancing capacity of its structural division. The work on two Greenfield plants would start next year and both plants will
commence production in 1-2 years time. This will grow the topline and margins for the company.
As per company’s expansion plan it has already identified four sectors like Railways, Auto, Energy and Defense for
improving the margin profile. It has already started work on this.
It withstood bad times successfully and is now prepared for better times.
The company has strong fundamental metrics like Debt to Equity, Dividend yield, Improving ROE and a good interest
coverage ratio despite being present in a commodity type of business. The company has debt to equity ratio of 1.82x,
which is manageable and long term debt to equity of the company is very low.

Risks/Concerns
•
•
•
•
•
Slowdown in domestic economy, exchange rate fluctuations and competition from others market players are some of the
key concerns faced by the company.
Fluctuation in forex and raw material prices will have negative impact on the company margins
Change in government policies
High working capital cycle
Volume expansion from existing facilities is not possible beyond a point as most capacities are working at 80-85%
utilization. However the company is looking at shifting production to high value products.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The company is in expansion mode which will lead to increase in topline and bottomline in coming years. The company is in
good shape to take the advantage of increasing spending from sectors like Auto, Railways and Defense. We believe 3 phase
expansion plan will have significant impact on the company's performance over the next 2-3 years. At the current market price
Rs.75.85, the company is trading P/E multiple at 4.8xFY16E EPS and 3.7xFY17E EPS. We value the company at 4.5x and 5.5x its
FY17 EPS to arrive at the sequential target prices of Rs.93 and Rs.114. We feel investors could buy the stock at the CMP and add
on dips to Rs.60-66 band (~3xFY17E EPS) for the above target prices in 2-4 quarters.

Well diversified product line
GLST’s product basket is a bouquet of different products i.e. a mix of high yielding low volume & low yielding high volume
products. It is currently working in five verticals.
Goodluck Steel
Structure Tubing &
boring Tubes
Cold rolled annealed
sheet & roofing sheet
Structure
Auto Tubes
Forging
Structure tubing & boring tubes and Cold rolled annealed sheet & roofing sheet are low yielding & high volume segments,
whereas remaining are high yielding low volume segments. As a strategy the company is focusing on Structure, Auto tubes and
Forging. Since these 3 verticals are high yielding, the management is adding capacity in these 3 verticals only. As a first step Auto
tube capacity has been expanded by 30,000 MT pa recently (at a capex of Rs.98 cr) & now total capacity is 60,000 MT/annum.
This expansion will improve topline and bottom line from Q4FY15. A large part of the incremental production is targeted to auto
industry in U.S.

Triggers

Resumption of growth after 12 quarters of flat sales and profit growth.
The company reported flat sales and profit growth from Q4FY12 to Q3FY15. This was mainly due to slowdown in the
economy (in industry, power and infra segments). Even in economic downturn company’s sales and EBITDA were not
impacted significantly due to well diversified product basket. The Company has diversified its product basket from
traditional agricultural irrigation pipes to supportive structure for green energy precision materials for automobile
industry and structure for power & telecommunication & infrastructure to forging materials for oil & gas industry &
nuclear power.
Even In flat sales growth scenario the company managed to post improved EBITDA margin and PAT Margin from Q3FY14.

The Company’s strong presence across all major international markets enabled it to hedge its risks and remain afloat
during the slowdown.

Rising dividend payout indicates better prospects for the company and the management seems willing to share
growing cash flow with minority shareholders.
The company had paid Rs.3 dividend in the 2004, 2007 and 2008 year. Despite the economic downturn in the 2008, it has
not stopped paying dividend but reduced its dividend amount. But now it has started increasing dividend amount again
(declared interim dividend of Rs.0.75 on Feb 16, 2015 for the first time in many years), which indicates improvement in
company’s financial position/outlook and stable cash flows. The management has shown willingness to share the growing
cashflows with the minority shareholders. We think the dividend amounts could grow in line with profits over the next
few years.

Three phases of CAPEX to boost volumes, topline and margin
The Company plans to invest about Rs.200 crores in the next three years towards setting up a new forging facility and
enhancing capacity of its structural division. The work on two Greenfield plants would start next year and both plants will
commence production in 1-2 years time. This will grow the topline and margins for the company.
RETAIL RESEARCH
Page | 5
Phase I: Recently the Company undertook the expansion of its manufacturing facility for producing ERW and CDW tubes
(from 30000 tpa to 60000 tpa) to meet the increased demand of auto industry globally. This has gone on stream in Jan
2015. A sum of Rs.98 cr was spent on this capex which was part funded by term loans of Rs.55 cr and Rs.16 cr infused by
promoters by way of warrant conversion @ Rs.2+68 per share..
Phase II: The Company has plans to expand the manufacturing facilities of Structure Steel by adding new products and
increase in volumes. The construction work will commence from January 2015. As per plans the construction will be
completed by December 2015 and the project will achieve the COD in April 2016. The capex for this is expected to be
Rs.50 cr. In Feb 2015 promoters converted 10 lac warrants into shares @ Rs.2+58 per share.
Phase III: The Company also has plan to expand and modernize the manufacturing facilities of Forging (from 12000 TPA to
36000 TPA). The construction work will commence from January 2016 on completion of financial closure of the project.
As per plans the construction will be completed by December 2016 and the project will achieve the COD w.e.f. April 2017.
This will entail a total capex of Rs.150 cr (to be funded by term loans of Rs.92 cr and balance by internal accruals and
promoters).
Post-expansion, forging division and structural division is expected to double its contribution to the topline. This
expansion will contribute significantly to bottom line of the Company and result in higher EPS from FY17 onwards.

Company is focusing mainly on four sectors in future.
The company has identified four focus sectors going forward including Railways, Auto, Energy and Defense for improving
the margin profile.
Railways:
This sector needs an investment of Rs. 600000 Cr in next few years being the “Life Line of India”. GLST’s forging vertical is
already approved with CLW (Chittaranjan Loco Works) for rotor & armature shafts. The company is in the process of
applying for approvals from other units of Railways. The company will go further for gears & crank shaft which are being
imported right now. Structure vertical has started supplying parts of LHB coaches to RCF (Rail Coach Factory)
Kapoorthala – Punjab.
Auto:
Auto tube division is already supplying parts to four wheelers & two wheelers such as Hero, Honda, Munjal Showa,
Endurance, Tata, Mahindra in domestic region and BMW, Audi, Mercedes in overseas. Recent capacity addition will give
boost to increase its market share globally. Auto forging, likely to be commissioned by April 2017 will synergize
company’s capacity & capability.

Energy:
Renewable energy such as solar is having great scope. 100 GW target by 2020 by government has opened flood gates for
industry. GLST structure division provides structure solution for solar water pump, Solar parks, Roof Top Solar projects &
On Grid & Off Grid power projects. With a capex of Rs.50 Cr, capacity increase will put GLST in a formidable position.
Defence:
USD 100 Billion market for next 5 years is set to open for Indian Industry with a offset clause of 30% from Indian
manufacturers. The company is planning to supply its structure tubing to heavy vehicle factories, forging for their engine
parts & steel over bridge structure to BRO (Border Road Organization) from its structure division.

It withstood bad times successfully and is now prepared for better times.
The company did not see any significant impact on its topline and bottomline due to economic downturn in developed
economies and domestic economy due to well diversified product basket and better management skills. The Company
has diversified its product basket from traditional agricultural irrigation pipes to supportive structure for green energy
precision materials for automobile industry and structure for power & telecommunication & infrastructure to forging
materials for oil & gas industry & nuclear power. The Company’s strong presence across all major international markets
enables it to hedge its risks and remain afloat during a crisis.
The company is conscious of balancing its domestic and international business so that any slowdown in the international
market is well compensated by penetrating the high potential domestic market.Further, company’s customer list is very
exhaustive and wide spread among more than 70 Countries which helps the company in mitigating the risk of slow down
in a particular geography or season.

The company has posted improved margin in past few quarters, which will have positive impact on the ROE of the
company. Similarly the focus on high margin segment will lead to improve ROE going ahead. The company has reported
ROE in the range of 12% to 19% in the past years.
Outlook
The company is in expansion mode which will lead to increase in topline and bottomline in coming years. The company is in good
shape to take the advantage of increasing spending from sectors like Auto, Railways and Defense. We believe 3 phase expansion
plan will have significant impact on the company's performance over the next 2-3 years.
At the current market price Rs.75.85, the company is trading P/E multiple at 4.9xFY16E EPS and 3.8xFY17E EPS. We value the
company at 4.5x and 5.5x its FY17 EPS to arrive at the sequential target prices of Rs93/- and Rs114/-. We feel investors could buy
the stock at the CMP and add on dips to Rs.60-66 band (~3xFY17E EPS) for the above target prices in 2-4 quarters.
