Asahi India Glass’ (Asahi) Q4FY22 EBITDA margin came in at 26.4% (down marginally by 23bps QoQ) despite 620bps QoQ decline in gross margin. The margin performance was driven by 13% QoQ growth in architectural segment along with 16% QoQ automotive segment growth. Power & fuel costs fell 350bps sequentially cushioning the margin as Asahi was able to use lower-priced power contracts till Q4-end, along with superior operating leverage also helped Asahi reduce staff costs by 150bps QoQ. Architectural segment reported an all-time high EBIT margin of 34.7% (up 120bps QoQ), which we believe may not sustain going ahead due to increase in power and fuel costs from Q1FY23. THe brokerage continues to be positive on Asahi for the following reasons: i) it is a strong proxy play for domestic PV recovery (~72% market share) coupled with rising content per vehicle; ii) it is a play on architectural segment rise led by revival of real estate demand; iii) entry into the more capital-efficient solar glass segment. However, higher energy prices, progress on new capex and operations on the solar glass front remain key monitorables. It has marginally cut FY24E earnings by 2.7% due to 115bps reduction in EBITDA margin as a result of elevated power and fuel costs. It maintains BUY on the stock with an unchanged DCF-based target price of Rs553, implying 23x FY24E EPS.
