Reliance Communication’s - Are you buying it?

There has been a lot of interest in Reliance Communication’s plans to reduce debt by 25,000 Cr. this year. The stock is up 10% since August 14, and investors seem to be buying into the turnaround story – Be it by merger, sale of assets, or financial restructuring.
Here are some numbers to think about:
Finance Costs: 3,500 Cr.
EBITDA = 5,392 Cr.
EBIT = 1,171 Cr.
EV = 57,973 (Debt) + 5,811 (Market Cap) – 1,300 (Cash) – 257 (Financial Investments) = 62,191 Cr.
EV/EBITDA = 11.53
Debt / Equity = 9.97

Now, with a 25,000 Cr. debt reduction (from sale of profitable business), 32,973 Cr. Debt will be left. Assuming a 40% loss of their revenue (equal to proportion of business sold to pay off the targeted 25,000 Cr. debt), no further deterioration in credit quality, and no further deterioration in operating margin:
Current Price = 23.50
EBITDA after sale of biz = Rs. 32,35 Cr.
EV after sale of biz = Rs. 37,191 Cr.
EV / EBITDA after sale of biz =11.49
Debt / Equity after sale of biz = 32,973 / 5,811 = 5.67

Okay, so it seems like the company will significantly deleverage its books, BUT these numbers do not include any operating liabilities, loss of revenue from transition, loss of synergy/integration, regulatory hurdles, interest accrued from non-payment of dues, increased competition, margin squeeze, business restructuring costs, legal fees, and potential for dilution of equity to fund future operations. Moreover, it assumes that the revenue contributed by the healthy portion of the business, which will soon be off the balance sheet, is equal in proportion to that from the portion of the business retained.
Evaluating the business in the rosiest possible scenario, the one that Mr. Anil Ambani is selling, it will still take more than 10 years for the company to redeem its debt on an EBITDA basis with the leftover business.

Let’s ‘get-real’ for a moment though – With the weak competitive, operating, bargaining, and financial position of the business, it’s highly unlikely that investors will ever see a positive bottom-line sans a (significant) dilution of their equity. So, the simple question is – Are you buying it?

Insights into Commodity Trading

Commodities are actual physical goods like gold, soybeans, corn and crude oil. These can be sold and bought physically in future market and are interchangeable with other goods. Commodities are traded in the same way as financial futures but the only difference is that they have physical settlement and asset quality is taken into consideration unlike financial futures. With respect to commodities, futures are contracts that are traded at a future exchange like MCX and NCDEX in India. There is a fixed delivery month for each contract and future exchange sets a standard size for each futures contract.

You can apply technical and fundamental analysis to particular commodity after understanding the basics of commodity. This will help you to find long term as well as short term trend. Fundamental analysis will help you to predict where the prices of commodities should be trading and what they will do in the future. Commodities trade in cycles and sometimes we will have too much of a commodity with fall in prices; other times, supplies will be tight with hike in prices.

The factors that can impact the supply of commodities are weather, production strikes, crop diseases, technology and amount of acres planted. Amount that is consumed at a given price level is termed as “Demand for Commodities”. So whenever the commodity price moves lower, the demand will increase and oppositely the demand will decrease as the price of a commodity increases. There is an offering of more level playing field for traders in commodity market as compared to stock market.
