RPL vs Oil Refining and Marketing Companies
How did RPL fare versus all domestic oil refining and marketing companies with regards to their valuations and capacities? This analysis throws up some interesting findings.
RPL has basically higher GRMs (Gross Refining Margins) compared to most other companies. Most of it is because of the latest machineries and technologies that RPL uses, produces estimates of about USD 15-18 per barrel of GRMs versus USD 6 of other companies.
A look at all the oil and marketing companies versus RPL will reveal what is in store. All these are 2010 estimates because RPL will go on-stream in 2010. So the analysis considered 2010 estimates.
The total revenue is close to about Rs 4,74,481 crore for all the oil and marketing companies put together versus Rs 21,908 crore for RPL these are 2010 estimates.
PAT (profit after tax) for all the other oil and marketing companies is estimated to be close to about Rs 10,416 crore versus 2010 PAT of about Rs 7,424 crore for RPL. PAT is low for all these oil and marketing companies put together on those higher sales is because these companies have lower GRMs.
A look at the refining capacity reveals that RPL will have a refining capacity of close to about 28 million tonnes per annum versus the refining capacity of all the oil refining and marketing companies put together is about 117 million tonnes. That means that RPL has one-fifth the refining capacity of all the oil and marketing companies
put together.
A look at the refining capacity reveals that RPL will have a refining capacity of close to about 28 million tonnes per annum versus the refining capacity of all the oil refining and marketing companies put together is about 117 million tonnes. That means that RPL has one-fifth the refining capacity of all the oil and marketing companies
put together.
Having said that, MCap of all the oil and marketing companies is still lower than RPL. RPL's MCap is about Rs 120,000 crore versus Rs 100,000 crore of all these oil refining and marketing companies.
other estimates value other oil refining companies less aggressively than RPL. Why these companies are conservatively estimated is because of the subsidy burden, which these companies have. The marketing losses that PSUs and other companies have to take have also been considered.
At some point in time, these marketing companies will be profitable. So the lower estimates that have taken on PAT will increase aggressively. Having said, that analysts are not saying that RPL is expensive or the other oil and marketing companies are cheaper at this point in time. They are just giving a comparison between all the other
oil refining and marketing companies versus RPL at this point in time.
RPL's EPS is close to about 16.5 in 2010 versus all the oil refining and marketing companies; it is close to about Rs 202. So one can imagine the difference over there, also price to earnings ratio of RPL in 2010 is estimated about 16.1 versus 9.6 - that is the average price to earnings ratio of 2010 of other oil refining and marketing
companies.
These are just comparisons, analysts are not saying that one thing is cheaper than the other or one thing is more expensive than the other. These are just comparisons between other oil refining and marketing companies and RPL.
