Phoenix Mills (PHNX) has an operational history of more than 100 years. A textile
manufacturer at inception, the company has reinvented itself as a retail-led mixed-use
mall developer. Its diversified portfolio of businesses comprises: (a) Retail mall
development (enjoys a leadership position in cities where it operates) and (b)
Hospitality, Residential and Commercial (together contributed 35% of revenue as of
FY17).
The Specialist
Carving a niche by tapping the untapped
PHNX – a pioneer in developing and operating malls – has become a partner of
choice for retailers in India due to its impressive track record of consumption-led
growth and strong portfolio of eight malls (6msf) spread across the top cities in
India. This apart, the company specializes in mall management, an area where its
competitors lag. Thus, we believe that it offers a unique opportunity for any
retailer (both domestic and global) looking to expand rapidly in India. All this
makes PHNX a ‘specialist’ play on India’s promising consumption growth story, in
our view.
CPPIB has recently infused equity capital of INR16.6b (in tranches) in its subsidiary,
Island Star Developers, and with leverage of 1:1, it will create a war chest of
INR32b, gearing up the company for the next leg of growth. PHNX plans to acquire
and build up to four new malls.
We expect PHNX to generate cash flows from operations of INR23.8b over FY18-20.
These cash flows can be deployed toward (i) acquiring ready/under-construction
mall, (ii) unlocking development potential of 4.6msf in its existing land parcels and
(iii) reducing debt.
We expect PHNX to record a CAGR (FY18-20) of 15% in revenue, 16% in EBITDA and
37% in PAT. We value the company’s retail assets assuming a cap rate of 8%. We
initiate coverage on PHNX with a Buy rating and an SOTP-based target price of
INR732 (upside 21%).

A partner of choice for retailers in India
PHNX is one of the leading mall developers and operators in India, with presence
across six cities (~6msf of retail space). The company’s flagship High Street
Phoenix Mall – which commenced operations in 1999 in Mumbai – has
increased rental income at a 12% CAGR over FY13-17. Importantly, the company
has been able to replicate this success in other major cities of India. Uniquely,
PHNX participates over the entire lifecycle of malls (with specialization in mall
management), which has helped it deliver robust consumption-led retail
revenue CAGR of 16%, from INR4.2b in FY13 to INR7.7b in FY17. The company’s
success in the mall business can largely be ascribed to its expertise in acquisition
of attractive land parcels, mall design, tenant mix, identification of consumer
trends, and data analytics. Thus, we believe that PHNX offers a unique
opportunity for any retailer to expand rapidly in India. We expect retail leasing
income to grow at a CAGR of 15% over FY17-20, post which growth is likely to be
driven by the launch of new malls under the CPPIB platform.

Stock Performance (1-year)
CPPIB deal – preparing for the next leg of growth
CPPIB recently infused equity capital of INR16.6b (in tranches) in the company’s
subsidiary, Island Star Developers (for a 49% stake), which houses its Bangalore mall.
CPPIB has infused capital by valuing its Bangalore mall at a 6.25% cap rate. With
leverage of 1:1, Island Star will have a robust war chest of INR32b, through which it
plans to acquire and build up to four new malls (recently acquired a land parcel in
Pune with 1.8msf of development potential). Additionally, CPPIB will provide fees
for mall management, project management and lease renewals, ensuring consistent
cash inflows. All this should strengthen PHNX’s position in India’s malls segment.
Expect strong cash flows from operations going forward
With the next leg of growth being fully funded via the CPPIB deal and also minority
buyouts now complete, PHNX’s existing mall and commercial properties are
expected to generate strong free cash flows. Over the last four years, PHNX has
spent INR13.3b toward acquiring minority stakes in its subsidiaries, which operate
various malls. Additionally, its residential projects of 3.3msf have already garnered
an amount equal to its estimated total cost of projects. Therefore, unsold stock and
pending collections should help generate strong cash flows. We expect PHNX to
generate cash flow from operations of INR23.8b over FY18-20, which can be
deployed toward (i) acquiring ready/under-construction malls, (ii) unlocking
development potential of 4.6msf in its existing land parcels and (iii) reducing debt.
PAT to grow at 37% CAGR to INR4b over FY18-20
We expect PHNX to deliver revenue CAGR (FY18-20) of 15% to INR21.3b, mainly
driven by retail segment revenue CAGR of 12% to INR13.3b, contributing 62% of
total revenue in FY20. Growth in retail is largely attributed to (i) upcoming renewals
across malls and (b) scale-up in commercial assets. We expect EBITDA CAGR of 16%
and PAT CAGR of 37% over FY18-20. PAT is expected to grow at a faster pace, mainly
due to a decline in interest cost from INR3.6b in FY18 to INR3b in FY20. Growth over
the next two years is expected to be driven by the sweating of existing assets.
Growth from the Pune mall (under CPPIB deal) will commence from FY22.
Initiating with a Buy
We see huge growth opportunity in India’s retail industry, which is expected to
reach a size of USD2t by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 12%. We believe that PHNX is a
unique way to play India’s retail growth story. Moreover, clarifications and issues
surrounding REITs are now behind, and we expect India to attract strong inflows,
where PHNX can become a great choice. We prefer PHNX due to its a) strong
operational performance (which provides a competitive edge), b) scalability
(through the CPPIB deal), and c) robust cash generation (leading to a reduction in
gearing and providing opportunities to acquire new malls). The stock trades at a PE
of 29x/23x FY19/20E, P/BV of 2.6x/2.3x FY19/20E and EV/EBITDA of 13.7x/11.4x
respectively. We value retail assets based on NAV approach, assuming a cap rate of
8% and a discount rate of 13%. We initiate coverage on PHNX with a
Buy
rating and
an SOTP-based target price of INR732 (upside 21%).

Potential changes in regulations pose a key risk to our thesis
Recent issues related to the Kamla Mills fire have raised a concern about fire &
safety at public places. However, our interaction with management suggests that
company already has processes in place to ensure that it is compliant with fire &
safety and other regulatory (local authority approvals) norms. For example:
PHNX gets third- party fire & safety audits done for every mall – this is reviewed
on a regular basis by the board as well as Managing Director Mr Atul Ruia.
PHNX houses large MNC retailers like Zara, GAP and H&M, which themselves
have strict due diligence processes in place to ensure compliance with the global
standards.
Despite this, we believe that food & beverages (F&B) outlets – due to their nature of
operations – are still to some extent exposed to fire & safety risks. F&B occupies
~12% mall space across PHNX malls. However, we do not rule out potential systemic
risk.

Company overview
PHNX began operations as a textile manufacturing company in 1905 on 17 acres of
land in Lower Parel (Mumbai). However, in 1987, PHNX largely exited the textile
sector, and entered into Mumbai’s real estate market with the development of the
High Street Phoenix (HSP) center in 1999 on its textile mill property in Lower Parel.
HSP was the first consumption center developed by the Phoenix Group in India.
PHNX now has retail-led developments across India, and has also included
hospitality, commercial and residential assets in its portfolio. Besides, the company
has forayed into food & beverages with its brands 212, Shizu San and Bar Bar
through its nine stores. PHNX now has a rental asset portfolio of ~6msf, comprising
eight malls spread across six gateway cities.
PHNX’s existing real estate development portfolio primarily comprises retail-led,
mixed-use developments at prime locations, along with a number of other
standalone residential/commercial developments. PHNX has presence across
Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, Lucknow, Bareilly and Agra. The company’s
operations typically encompass most functions of real estate development – from
land acquisition, planning (including liaison and approvals), execution and marketing
of projects, to management, maintenance and sales of the completed projects.

PHNX has developed its asset portfolio primarily through joint ventures with strategic
investors/regional developers to support growth of its asset-heavy malls. Historically,
PHNX has also bought minority stakes in SPVs. The company has raised INR16.6b (in
tranches) from CPPIB through equity infusion for a 49% stake in its Bengaluru SPV to
fund brownfield/greenfield growth opportunities in the retail space. PHNX’s strategy is
to operate retail malls in city center locations, where it commands a leadership
position.

Real estate-backed retail play
With ~6msf of mall area, PHNX is India’s largest mall developer
PHNX is one of the leading mall developers and operators in India, with presence
across six cities (6msf of retail space). The company’s flagship ‘High Street Phoenix
Mall’ in Mumbai has grown its rental income by 12% CAGR over FY13-17 to INR2.8b,
and importantly, the company has been able to replicate this success in other major
cities of India.
Uniquely, PHNX participates over the entire lifecycle of malls (with specialization in
mall management), which has helped it deliver robust consumption-led retail revenue
CAGR of 16%, from INR4.2b in FY13 to INR7.7b in FY17.
The company’s success in the mall business can largely be ascribed to its expertise in
acquiring attractive land parcels, mall design, tenant mix, identification of consumer
trends, and data intelligence.
Thus, we believe PHNX offers a unique opportunity for any retailer to expand rapidly
in India, making it a partner of choice. We expect retail leasing income to grow at
CAGR of 15% over FY17-20E, post which growth is likely to be driven by the launch of
new malls under the CPPIB platform.
PHNX - largest mall operator in India
PHNX is one of India’s leading developers, owners and operators of retail assets. It
also holds one of the largest retail portfolios among listed companies in India, with
eight retail properties (~2,000 stores) across many large cities. PHNX has eight malls
in six gateway cities in India. Consumption at its malls has increased at a CAGR of
22% to INR58b over FY13-17. Additionally, the company is coming up with a new
mall in Wakad (Pune) by FY22, with 1msf of leasable area.

High Street Phoenix (HSP) - PHNX’s flagship mall depicts management’s
mall management capabilities
HSP was among the first developments in India to combine retail & entertainment,
commercial, hotel and residential properties into an integrated lifestyle destination.
HSP’s performance has been impressive, and the company is using its market
expertise and brand name to replicate the success of HSP in other parts of Mumbai
as well as other cities in India (via its Phoenix Market City, Phoenix United,
residential, commercial and hospitality projects).
As a result of rapid development and its central location between South Mumbai
and suburbs, Lower Parel emerged as a viable alternative to the South Mumbai
business district for commercial and retail purposes. High Street Phoenix Mall,
Palladium Mall, St. Regis Hotel and Phoenix Tower residential apartments are
located on the 17 acre land parcel in Lower Parel. There are over 270 stores at High
Street Phoenix and Palladium which are divided among distinct areas: Skyzone,
Grand Galleria, Grand Galleria Annexe, Courtyard and Palladium. These areas were
developed and operationalized in phases over a period of time, with the final retail
space (Palladium) commencing operations in 2009.

PHNX - a direct entry point for retailers to access key markets across India
With its malls located across India, PHNX acts as a key partner for retailers
planning to enter/expand presence in India. The company’s standing as a large
pan-India mall operator makes it a preferred destination of choice for any
premium domestic or global brand looking for a multi-city entry strategy.
Association with a name like PHNX enables such brands to enter multiple key
consumption centers of Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Chennai. PHNX gives
them the opportunity to capture discerning customers at a scale impossible for
other retail centers to match.
Retailers’ confidence on PHNX is evident from the company’s longstanding
relationships with several domestic and global retail brands such as Zara, Diesel,
Lifestyle and PVR Cinemas. Such relationships may help PHNX to secure retail
clients for its new developments (especially for large spaces) at suitable rates.
An anchor retailer typically occupies 45-50% of the mall space.
PHNX’s mall operations and management team’s focus on increasing consumer
spend by employing several marketing and promotional initiatives. We believe
such steps ensure (i) higher footfalls in targeted categories and (ii) increased per
capita spend.
In our view, PHNX should be able to leverage the long-standing presence in this
market segment and maximize the potential of a particular catchment area by
bringing together appropriate retail clients.

Lease agreements include variable components linked to retailer
performance
PHNX regularly evaluates the retail client mix at its properties to ensure that it
caters to the consumption and spending patterns of customers.
A majority of the
leases across its retail properties are structured in a way that PHNX receives the
higher of fixed guaranteed license fee/rental income, as applicable, or a
percentage of revenue generated by the retail client, with such fixed guaranteed
license fee/rental rate generally increasing on a percentage basis annually with a
further higher percentage increase after, for example, three to five years. This
assures the company of minimum guaranteed license fees/rental income, as
applicable, across its retail properties, while aligning the company’s interest with
that of retail clients through revenue share arrangements.
With this model, PHNX’s
license fees and rental income collected, as applicable, can rise in tandem with
consumption.

Not only a developer but also a mall manager – a key differentiator
A typical mall development cycle comprises three stages: (i) land acquisition, (ii)
designing & development of mall and (iii) mall management. A typical real estate
developer outsources mall management, but PHNX does this on its own, which, in
our view, is a key differentiating factor.
Why managing mall mix stands critical for a mall developer?
PHNX shelters top retail brands from India and across the globe. It could be inferred
that the company has indirectly linked its revenue with retailers, as the rental
income of the company also comprises of a variable component linked to tenants’
consumption. Hence, it becomes important for mall developers to manage the
tenant mix well and enhance the customer experience.

Relocating, resizing and churning out of retailers to manage
retail mix
PHNX’s team continuously monitors retailers’ performance. In case the performance
is not as desired, the leasing team takes actions to improve it. The following steps
taken by PHNX clearly depict its mall managing skills.
Churning out
PHNX annually churns out 5-10% of its mall space based on the performance of the
retailer. For example, leading fashion store in HSP and Palladium, Mumbai was replaced
by several small retailers, which led to an increase in rentals as well. Departmental store
was replaced by H&M, which resulted in an increase in consumption by 2x and in rentals
by 3x.
Relocating
PHNX relocated a designer labels brand to the first floor of the Palladium mall,
which led to an increase in sales for the retailer. PHNX too benefited from higher
rentals.
Resizing
Initially, a departmental store in PMC Pune Mall had ~75,000sf, which was resized to
~50,000sf and now it has ~30,000sf. However, rental stands at 1.5-2x of initial
rentals.

Initiatives taken by PHNX to attract crowd on weekdays as well
Malls usually witness low footfall on weekdays relative to weekends. PHNX has
adopted several strategies to address this footfall gap between weekend and
weekdays. Consequently, footfall now at PHNX’s malls is higher by only 30-35% on
weekends compared to weekdays. In comparison, other malls have 60-70% more
crowds on weekends. Some initiatives taken to attract crowd on weekdays include:
Mid-week events like performance by singers/dancers, and drawing
competitions for children, among others. PHNX ensures that it has at least one
such event in at least one mall on weekdays.
PHNX had planned to build the PMC Kurla mall three years after the Mumbai
metro becomes operational. However, the metro became operational three
years after mall construction. This significantly affected the mall dynamics. To
subside this impact, PHNX has taken various initiatives (such as discounts for
ladies kitty parties/dinners) to encourage customers to spend time at the mall.
Idea behind creating 212, Bar Bar and Shizu San was to occupy the mall space or
else customers would have a negative impression about the mall. As a matter of
fact, the mall saw great traction from the new food & beverages outlets, which
led to higher rentals.
PHNX has a clear objective of developing retail-led, mixed-use developments
that complement each other. For instance, PMC Kurla mall has succeeded in
attracting crowd on weekdays, as it has several commercial developments in the
vicinity.
Other key initiatives of PHNX that reflect its mall management skills
PHNX invited artists to paint the parking walls in PMC Chennai so that customers
experience something new whenever they visit the mall.
PMC Kurla has dedicated spots where customers can click photos.
Dedicated Uber and Ola desks for booking cabs.
PHNX collects parking charges from customers upfront, but the same is
reimbursed in the form of cash-back if the person shops.
PHNX established CNG pipelines instead of LPG as they are safer and cheaper.
For this, it received huge appreciation from food & beverages retailers.
PHNX will establish solar panels in the PMC Bangalore mall, which will lead to
30-40% reduction in electricity costs for retailers.

Retail in India offers vast opportunities
CPPIB deal - a key catalyst for growth
Favorable demographics (47% of India’s population <24 years) and shift in trade
toward organized retailers should drive significant growth in the Indian retail sector
(12% CAGR over FY15-20E), going forward.
CPPIB deal could potentially add 4msf of mall space to PHNX’s current portfolio of
6msf (i.e., increasing mall portfolio by ~70%).
CPPIB has infused equity for a 49% stake in PHNX’s wholly owned subsidiary, Island
Star, by infusing INR16.6b (in tranches). Island Star operates the PMC Bangalore mall,
which is valued at a 6.25% cap rate using one-year forward EBITDA.
Post CPPIB’s capital infusion, PHNX acquired a land parcel in Wakad (Pune) to develop
a mall with an area of 1msf; it has further mixed development potential of 0.8msf.
Multiple factors driving prospects for India’s retail sector
India’s retail market is expected to reach a size of USD1t by 2020 (as per FICCI and
management consultancy PWC), growing at a CAGR of 12%. With increasing
household income, discretionary spending too is gradually rising (consumers are
increasingly vying for quality and premium products).
Urbanization in India is expected to touch 40% in 2020, rising from 31% in 2015. By
the same year, there could be more than 200 million nuclear households,
representing 25-50% higher consumption per capita expenditure. Backed by robust
economic growth and rising household income, consumer spending in India is
expected to touch USD3.6t by 2020, increasing India’s share in global consumption
to 5.8% – more than twice the current level. India’s average household income is
expected to triple to USD18,500 in 2020, up from USD6,400 in 2010 - acting as a
major driver in retail growth and leading to the evolution of new consumer
segments. Notably, increasing disposable income levels and a rising number of
sophisticated consumers have boosted demand for premium products.

CPPIB deal to act as a key growth catalyst
In April 2017, PHNX announced a deal with CPPIB with a clear goal to create best-in-
class retail malls in India via its wholly owned subsidiary, Island Star Mall
Developers, which would own new malls under the said deal.
As part of the deal, CPPIB has infused equity capital of INR16.6b (in tranches) for a
49% stake in Island Star. Island Star owns the 1msf HSP Bangalore mall (also has
2msf of potential developable area under it). PHNX shall manage all developments
and operational assets under this platform and earn a fee based income like
property management fees (4% of gross rentals), commission for new leases and
fees for acquisition of land & development.
PHNX will be able to add up to 4 malls to its current retail portfolio of 8 malls post
the CPPIB deal. Also, equity infusion and rental income from the HSP Bangalore mall
(INR1b in FY17) should help PHNX to invest toward adding four malls (with 1msf of
retail space each). This, coupled with an increase in rentals from the existing malls,
significantly strengthen the company’s growth prospects. Along with CPPIB’s capital
infusion of INR16.6b, PHNX plans to borrow INR16b which shall be used towards
constructing new malls.

CPPIB has investment of USD10b in retail assets globally
CPPIB, which manages assets worth over USD250b globally, has made an investment
of USD10b in the shopping centers across Europe, America and Asia. Through this
strategic investment platform, PHNX’s aim is to develop retail-led mixed-use assets
in the top cities of India.
Pune Wakad land acquisition marks first mall development under CPPIB
platform
Post capital infusion of INR7.24b (first tranche) from CPPIB, the company acquired a
land parcel in Pune. The 13-acre land parcel in Wakad, Pune with 1.8msf of potential
developable area was acquired for INR2.3b (including TDR) to develop a mall of
1msf; rest 0.8msf for mixed-use development.
Wakad mall shall have strategic access to:
Commercial areas such as Hinjewadi, Baner and Anudh
Residential areas such as Wakad, Baner, Aundh, Balewadi, extending up to
Kothrud in south-west of Pune
Strong commercial catchment of 25msf in Hinjewadi (19msf and expanding) and
Aundh/Baner (6msf and expanding)

PHNX already has a PMC mall located in east Pune with 1.2msf of space (primarily
caters to east and central Pune crowd). However, the recently acquired land parcel
is in Wakad, which is in west Pune and 23km away from the existing PMC mall. The
existing mall in Viman Nagar serves the CBD of Kharadi, as well as the surrounding
residential areas like Kalyani Nagar, Boat Club, Koregaon Park, and neighboring
towns (e.g. Ahmednagar).

PHNX to generate INR23.8b CFO over FY18-20
Existing assets to provide 4.6msf of potential developable area
PHNX’s 6msf of retail mall portfolio provides it with strong cash flows. Growth going
forward is also expected to be driven by renewals in HSP & Palladium and PMC,
Chennai mall.
Its residential projects of 3.3msf have already garnered an amount equal to its
estimated total cost of projects. Therefore, unsold stock and pending collections are
expected to help generate strong operating cash flows (INR23.8b over FY18-20, in our
view).
With the next leg of growth being fully funded via CPPIB deal and minority buyouts
now complete, PHNX’s existing mall and commercial properties are expected to
generate strong free cash flows. PHNX has spent INR13.3b toward acquiring minority
stakes in its subsidiaries, which operate various malls.
We believe these free cash flows can be utilized to unlock commercial (office space)
development potential of 4.6msf in its existing land parcels.
Cash flow from retail and residential to aid growth ahead
We expect PHNX to generate CFO of INR23.8b (FCF of INR6.8b) over FY18-20,
primarily contributed by its retail assets and residential segment. Its retail assets
provide consistent cash flows. Growth in the retail segment is expected to be driven
by upcoming major renewals in HSP & Palladium and PMC Chennai (more than 50%
of leasable area).
PHNX has a residential portfolio of 3.3msf (comprising three projects), of which
unsold inventory stands at 1.5msf (FY17). Construction cost for ‘The Crest’ project
has already been incurred, and shall be recovered in the form of collections/sales.
This implies that cash flows from receivables/balance inventory to be sold would be
available at the company’s disposal. The remaining two projects – Kessaku and One
Bangalore West – are under construction; total construction cost for these is
estimated at INR12.9b, while land cost (already been incurred) stands at INR3.5b.
PHNX has already collected INR12.9b (3QFY18) from customers, and balance
collection stands at INR2b (3QFY18). Further, unsold inventory for all the three
projects is 1.5msf, and sales value from the said inventory is INR19.4b (assuming
average realization), which shall be freely available at PHNX’s disposal (likely to be
deployed toward unleashing its potential developable area of 4.6msf).

REITs shall usher much-needed liquidity in RE sector
REITs shall bring back real estate sector into focus
What is REITs and what does it imply for the RE sector…
REIT is an investment vehicle that owns and operates real estate-related assets, and
allows individual investors to earn income produced through ownership of
commercial real estate without actually having to buy any assets.
An underdeveloped capital and debt market, coupled with limited options for raising
funds, has resulted in significant cash blockage for developers owning assets. REIT as
an investment vehicle is expected to infuse much-needed liquidity in the sector,
helping scale up investments.
REITs are modeled after mutual funds, and provide their investors with all types of
income streams and benefits of long-term capital appreciation. A REIT also trades on
major stock exchanges and provides investors with a highly liquid stake in real assets
typically offering high yields.
Over the last decade, globally, REITs have developed into a mature market force,
providing easy access to high-quality assets, along with stable return on
investments. To illustrate – as of 2016, there were over 500 REITs operating across

Taking a closer look at REITs globally…
USA:
The US Congress created the Real Estate Investment Trust (US-REIT) in
1960 to make large-scale, income-producing real estate investments accessible
to smaller investors. Since then, US-REIT has dominated the market, and has a
market capitalization which grew from USD 1.4943 billion in 1971 to USD 1
trillion by 2016.
Singapore:
Since the launch of the first Singapore REIT in 2002, the REIT sector
has become one of the biggest success stories of the Singapore Stock Exchange
(SGX). Singapore REITs have since grown into a USD 53 billion market. Currently,
the total ‘REITable’ stock available in Singapore’s CBD is 2.687 million sqm.
Australia:
The first REIT in Australia was the General Property Trust – a listed
property trust started in 1971. A-REITs are the largest REIT MARKET in Asia with
a total market capitalization of almost €72 billion, accounting for 9.36 percent of
the global REIT market capitalization. The Sydney CBD market has 3.060 million
sq. m. of REITable stock.

Bull & Bear case
Bull case
In case of retail malls, we have assumed a lower vacancy rate and higher rentals
per month at INR159pm (avg.) (FY19) and a cap rate of 7.5% vis-à-vis our base
case rental of INR153pm (avg.) (FY19) and a cap rate of 8%. We have assumed
rentals to grow at an average CAGR of 9% vis-à-vis our base case average CAGR
of 8% over FY18-22E. In case of commercials, we have assumed INR102pm
(FY19) (avg.) as the rental for all commercial assets vis-à-vis our base case rental
of INR98pm (FY19) (avg.). Hence, we increase the NAV of retail and commercial
assets by 23%.
In case of hotels, we have assumed a lower vacancy rate and higher room
rentals per day at INR9,035 (avg.) (FY19) vis-à-vis our base case average room
rental of INR8,569 (avg.) (FY19).
Target price in the base case is INR732. However, as per our bull case scenario
the target price would stand at INR899, 23% above the base case NAV.
Bear Case
In case of retail malls, we have assumed a higher vacancy rate and lower rentals
per month at INR146pm (avg.) (FY19) and a cap rate of 9% vis-à-vis our base

rentals to grow at an average CAGR of 7% vis-à-vis our base case average CAGR
of 8% over FY18-22E. In case of commercials, we have assumed INR96pm (FY19)
(avg.) as the rentals for all commercial assets vis-à-vis our base case rental of
INR98pm (FY19) (avg.). Hence, we decrease the NAV of retail and commercial
assets by 26%.
In case of hotels, we have assumed a higher vacancy rate and lower room rental
per day at INR8,164 (avg.) (FY19) vis-à-vis our base case average room rental of
INR8,569 (avg.) (FY19).

Expect PAT CAGR of 37% to INR4b over FY18-20
Net debt to equity ratio to come down to 0.7x by FY20 from 1.6x in FY17
PHNX is expected to deliver revenue CAGR (FY18-20) of 15% to INR21.3b, primarily
driven by retail and residential revenue CAGR of 12% and 42%, respectively.
Retail is the key segment contributing 65% of revenue in FY18. Within retail, the HSP &
Palladium mall contributes 41% of revenues. We expect HSP & Palladium to grow at
14% in FY19, mainly led by an increase in occupancy to 96% from 91% in FY18 and a
rise in rentals by 8% to INR396psf per month.
We expect the EBITDA margin to expand by 140bp over FY18-20, leading to EBITDA
CAGR of 15%. The expansion in margins is expected to be driven mainly by higher
rentals via an improved tenant mix. However, we expect PAT (after MI) CAGR of 37%,
mainly due to a decline in interest cost from INR3.6b in FY18 to INR3b in FY20.
We expect PHNX to generate CFO of INR24.1b over FY18-20, which is likely to be
utilized for debt repayment, leading to lower a net debt to equity ratio of 0.6x by FY20
v/s 1.6x in FY17.
Revenue to grow at 15% CAGR over FY18-20
We expect PHNX to deliver revenue CAGR (FY18-20) of 15% to INR21.3b, mainly
driven by retail revenue CAGR of 12% to INR13.3b and residential revenue CAGR of
42% to INR2.8b. We expect PHNX’s office leasing and hospitality segments to deliver
revenue CAGR of 33% and 7%, respectively, over FY18-20. De-growth of 11% in FY18
revenue is on account of change in accounting treatment of PMC, Chennai mall. For
FY18 and onwards it has been classified as an associate company as against
subsidiary company earlier.

The retail segment is the key segment contributing 65% of revenue in FY18E.
Growth in the segment over FY18-20 is likely to be driven by its existing mall
portfolio. Within the retail segment, HSP and Palladium are key malls (41% revenue
contribution). We expect HSP and Palladium to grow at 14% in FY19, mainly led by
an increase in occupancy to 96% from 91% in FY18 and a rise in rentals by 8% to
INR396psf per month (growth is mainly driven by 13 new small stores that have
replaced the anchor tenant, which shall help in pushing rental yields).

Residential income is expected to grow at a CAGR of 42% over FY18-20, as its key
residential projects One Bangalore West and Kessaku are nearing completion. Office
leasing income will be driven by commissioning of new office space of 0.2msf in
FY19 (The Fountainhead, Pune). Hospitality and other income include income from
hotel rooms, banquets and restaurants income. We expect St. Regis (Hotel) to

PAT growth to outperform EBITDA growth due to declining interest cost
We expect the EBITDA margin to expand by 140bp over FY18-20, leading to EBITDA
CAGR of 16% (largely in line with revenue CAGR of 15%). The expansion in margins is
expected to be driven mainly by higher rentals via an improved tenant mix.
However, we expect PAT (after MI) CAGR of 37%, mainly due to a decline in interest
cost from INR3.6b in FY18 to INR3b in FY20. The decline in interest cost is expected
to be mainly driven by huge cash surplus (CFO of INR23.8b) generated over FY18-20
from its existing assets across segments. Thus, we expect its debt to decline from
INR37.8b in FY18 to INR27.3b in FY20. Expansion through new malls will be funded
through equity infusion of INR16.6b under the CPPIB deal. This will also lead to an
increase in RoE from 8.5% in FY18 to 10.6% in FY20.

Valuation and view
Initiating with Buy
PHNX well placed to ride on India’s consumption story
India’s retail industry is at an inflection point, with its market expected to reach
a size of USD1t by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 12%. Multiple MNC retailers have
entered the Indian market, and many more are expected to participate in this
growth story. We believe that PHNX offers a unique way to play this retail
growth story via its efficient operations and multiple functions under one roof.
We estimate that PHNX's retail annuity income (excluding CAM charges) will
grow steadily from INR7.7b in FY17 to INR11.5b in FY20, largely led by (a)
upcoming major renewals in HSP and Palladium (54% of lease area) and PMC
Chennai (53% of lease area) and (b) scale up of Palladium Mall, Chennai and
commercial assets. Our earnings estimates suggest that, over FY17-20, PHNX will
post (a) revenue CAGR of 15%, (b) EBITDA CAGR of 16% and (c) PAT CAGR of
37%. PAT is expected to grow at a faster pace, mainly due to declining interest
outgo. PHNX is expected to generate CFO of INR23.8b, which, in our view, will
be utilized for debt repayment. Thus, debt is expected to decline from INR36.3b
in FY17 to INR24.3b in FY20. Growth over the next two years is expected to be
driven by sweating of existing assets only. Growth in the Pune mall (under CPPIB
deal) will start kicking from FY22.
We believe that PHNX is a unique way to play India’s retail growth story.
Moreover, with clarifications and issues surrounding REITs now behind, we
expect India to attract strong inflows, where PHNX can become a great choice.
We prefer Phoenix Mills based on a) strong operational performance providing
advantages over competition, b) scalability through CPPIB deal and c) robust
cash generation leading to a reduction in gearing and providing opportunities to
acquire new malls. The stock trades at a PE of 29x/23x FY19/20E, P/BV of
2.6x/2.3x FY19/20E and EV/EBITDA of 13.7x/11.4x respectively. We value retail
assets based on NAV approach, assuming a cap rate of 8% and a discount rate of
13%. We initiate coverage on PHNX with a
Buy
rating and SOTP based target
price of INR732 (upside 21%).

Apart from the planned addition of four new malls under the CPPIB deal
(wherein land acquisition for one mall is already done), PHNX has 4.6msf of
development potential from its existing assets. It is important to note that the
said development potential shall have an outflow of construction cost only as
land cost has already been paid for. We have not factored in 4.6msf of
18 April 2018

Phoenix Mills
development potential in our valuation, which could act as a next trigger for
growth.
PHNX acquired partly completed mall for INR2,310m (excluding stamp duty) in
Indore (FY17) in an online auction conducted by the bank. PHNX has already
paid INR580m and is waiting to get a clean title on land from the bank. Company
has focused on planning the mall during the said period of one year and once
the possession of the property is given within 30-36 months before the
company will be able to complete the remaining construction, the interior works
and get the mall operational. Additional construction cost to be incurred for the
mall is INR3,750.
Of the total 17 acres land parcel in Lower Parel Mumbai, PHNX has balance land
parcel of 3 acres (adjacent to HSP Mall), with a development potential of 1msf.
The same offers an optional value of INR102 per share, which we have not
included in our target price.

Key risks
Operational risks
Securing government approvals is crucial in project development. Any delay in
approvals can hamper project dynamics significantly. Also, post RERA
implementation, regulations have become stricter than ever, with severe penalties
imposed for project delays. All this could affect economic viability of projects, and
thus, brand credibility.
Threat from e-commerce
PHNX’s rental incomes are indirectly linked to consumption or sales made by the
tenants. In recent times, the trend of online shopping in India is increasing rapidly.
This could possibly affect sales of the tenants, leading to lower rentals for PHNX.
Macroeconomic factors
Any decline in property prices could exert pressure on the real estate market. Also,
modifications in government policies, varying market movements and changing
consumer preferences could considerably damage players operating in the real
estate sector.
Increasing land cost
The largest cost incurred by an entity in the real estate sector is toward land
acquisition. As land prices increase, the impact shall be felt on the margins and
financials of the company.
