Larsen & Toubro Limited
2008-2009 VS 2009-2010 (Annual)
REVIEW

Larsen & Toubro has produced excellent results for FY 2010 compared to the previous year of FY 09. The consolidated, non-consolidated and Quarterly figures comparison is available below :

CONSOLIDATED REVIEW :
Net sales has increased from Rs.40187 Cr in FY 09 to Rs. 43513.58 Cr in FY 10.
Total expenditure has also increased from Rs. 36249.54 Cr in FY 09 to Rs. 38510.43 Cr in FY 10
Consolidated Net Profit  has gone up from Rs. 3789.46 Cr in FY 09  To Rs.5450.74 CR in FY 10.
The consolidated Basic EPS has climbed smartly from Rs.51.58 to Rs.89.61 YOY, a stupendous rise of Rs.38.03 YOY, or a jump of 73.73 percent YOY.

NON-CONSOLIDATED REVIEW :
A review of the non-consolidated figures presents a similar rise in net sales and net profits YOY.
Net Sales  has risen to Rs.36675.15 Cr  in FY 10 from Rs.33646.57 Cr.in FY 09.
Net Profit has also risen to Rs.  4375.52 Cr in FY 10 from Rs. 3481.66 Cr in FY 09.
Basic EPS  has risen to Rs. 71.49 in FY 10 from Rs.46.3 in FY 09.

QUARTERLY RESULTS REVIEW :
Basic EPS  in the last 5 Quarters indicates that the 4th Quarter has registered a smart rise in  Basic EPS to the level of Rs. 23.9 from 12.72 in preceding qtr. Net Sales also shows a significant rise in 4 th Quarter.


The company has increased the Dividend (%) to               625% in FY 10 compared to 525% in FY 09 – on a face value of Rs.2 per share.


Based on the consolidated EPS of 89.61 and the price on 17.05.2010 of Rs.1615, the PE ratio works out to 18.02. On Non-consolidated results, (on EPS of 71.49), the same works out to 22.59.


The main point of the result is – whether the level of sales and profits of the 4th quarter will continue in future. Judging from the bulging order book and further orders being procured in FY11, it is felt that L&T can improve the performance in FY 11 further –even though the company had talked of severe Chinese competition in some business lines.


The company says - This growth in Ebitda margin is due to the low commodity prices for the major part of the last year. As commodity prices are now rising, it will be a challenge to maintain these margins. We are trying to see if we can order material even before the order is received. We also have to watch the prices of steel, but we are trying to make up for it by cost reduction and operational efficiencies. We have to work smart to maintain our margins.”


The company says that the outlook for the year ahead is good with increased spending on infrastructure.
