PEPL achieved its pre-sales guidance for FY22 by recording Rs10.38bn sales. Blackstone’s Phase-II deal concluded in the Q4FY22 which will further help to deleverage. Commissioning of annuity assets should start gradually which will generate cashflow and support capex going ahead. PEPL plans to commission annuity assets of 49.3msf (Cos. shares 33.5msf) which will take currently rentals of Rs4.1bn to ~8-9x in next 6-7years. PEPL launched The Prestige City, Mulund recently and received good response. Mumbai portfolio to act as catalyst and management reiterated Net D/E to remain below 0.5x in long run although most of capex is yet to be spend which reaffirms our confidence on PEPL. We remain confident on PEPL’s performance with robust pent-up demand in residential, increased traction in leasing and recovery in hospitality. We valued PEPL on SoTP based target 1xNAV of Rs653/share at WACC 11.4%, Cap rate 9% and 15x EV/EBITDA FY23.We maintain our ‘BUY’ rating.
