PNC Infratech Ltd (PNCL) reported strong set of numbers beating our estimates by 20.7/24/48.1%. During Mar’23, the company has bagged 4 HAM projects (LOA already received). worth Rs40.8bn and expects to bag additional Rs100?120bn of order inflows led by robust pipeline primarily in road and water segment. On the balance sheet front, company has maintained net cash position, strong enough to fund HAM equity requirement. The company is in discussion with strategic investors for monetization of its HAM/BOT portfolio and expects the signing of definitive agreement by Dec’23. Given healthy order book (Rs157bn) and strong execution capabilities, management has guided for 15% revenue growth with EBITDA margins of 13?13.5% range for FY24E.
