Although India sales volumes grew by 22% QoQ to 4.76 mn tonnes, EBITDA/t fell by 59% QoQ to Rs10,117 due to fall in steel realization and higher raw material cost (mainly coking coal). European operations profitability was also hit by lower sales volume and weak realizations. EBITDA/t fell by 66% QoQ to Rs9,540 . Consolidated net debt increased by Rs202 bn QoQ to Rs717 bn led by acquisition of Nilanchal Ispat, dividend payout and capital expenditure. We cut our FY23 EBITDA estimate by 17% to factor lower than expected EBITDA reported in Q2FY23 but broadly maintain our estimates for FY24 . We revise our SOTP-based target price to Rs105 (earlier Rs112). The recent rise in stock price discounts the positives; hence, we downgrade the stock to a HOLD from a BUY.  \nKey Highlights and Investment Rationale  \n􀂠 Projects update: During the quarter, company spent Rs190 bn towards the acquisition of Neelachal Ispat Nigam Ltd (NINL), dividend payout and re-line up of blast furnace in Netherland. The 6 mn tonnes pellet plant will be commissioned in 3QFY23 which will drive cost savings. This will be followed by the Cold Roll Mill complex of 5 MTPA. The NINL blast furnace was commenced in October 2022. Going ahead, company aims to increase its capacity to 10 mtpa from the current level of 1.1 mtpa.  \n􀂠 Weak performance by subsidiaries: Coking coal and energy cost were elevated during Q2FY23 . Thus, European EBITDA fell by 66% QoQ to Rs9,540 mn due to lower steel realizations and higher coking coal cost. Tata Steel Thailand’s EBITDA fell by 80% QoQ to Rs0 .3 bn (EBITDA/t of Rs1,005) . Tata Steel Long Products reported loss of Rs2 .2 bn at an EBITDA level due to lower sales volume and higher other expenses.  \nTP Rs105  \nCMP Rs101  \nPotential upside/downside 4%  \nPrevious Rating BUY  \nPrice Performance (%)  \nAbsolute  \nRel to Sensex  \n-1m -3m -12m  \n1.9 (6 .0) (23 . 1)(4 .5) (12 . 2) (26 . 2)  \nV/s Consensus  \nEBITDA (Rs bn)  \nIDBI Capital Consensus % difference  \nFY23E  \n371  \n424 (12.5)  \nFY24E  \n418  \n386  \n8.3  \nShareholding Pattern (%)  \nPromoters FII  \nDII Public  \n33.9  \n22.0  \n18.9  \n25.2  \nNovemebr 1, 2022  \nTata Steel | Q2FY23 Result Review  \nExhibit 1: Quarterly Snapshot (Rs mn)  \n\n| Financial snapshot | Q2FY23 | Q1FY23 | QoQ (%) | Q2FY22 | YoY (%) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Net Sales | 598,775 | 634,301 | (5.6) | 602,828 | (0.7) |\n| Total expenditure | 538,172 | 484,573 | 11.1 | 438,267 | 22.8 |\n| EBITDA | 60,603 | 149,728 | (59.5) | 164,561 | (63.2) |\n| EBITDA margin (%) | 10.1 | 23.6 | (1348bps) | 27.3 | (1718bps) |\n| Interest | 15,191 | 12,181 | 24.7 | 10,198 | 49.0 |\n| Depreciation | 23,478 | 22,368 | 5.0 | 22,889 | 2.6 |\n| PBT | 26,051 | 117,860 | (77.9) | 141,196 | (81.5) |\n| Tax | 13,081 | 41,923 | (68.8) | 15,719 | (16.8) |\n| PAT | 12,970 | 77,140 | (83.2) | 125,477 | (89.7) |\n| Diluted EPS | 1.1 | 6.3 | (83.2) | 10.3 | (89.7) |\n| Source: Company; IDBI Capital Research\u003Cbr>Exhibit 2: Actual vs estimates |  |  |  |  | (Rs mn) |\n|  |  |  | Q2FY23E | Q2FY23A | % Variance |\n| Net sales |  |  | 602,586 | 598,775 | (0.6) |\n| EBTIDA |  |  | 104,257 | 60,603 | (41.9) |\n| Margin (%) |  |  | 17.3 | 10.1 | (718bps) |\n| PAT |  |  | 77,140 | 12,970 | (83.2) |\n| Dil.
