We expect earnings to improve in CY23 as Petrochem, E&P, and Retail pick up Metals & Mining/ Oil & Gas
further, while Refining remains stable and Jio benefits from tariff hikes. While Pinakin Parekh, CFA AC
stable to higher earnings should support the stock, we believe CY23 will likely be (91-22) 6157-3588
mostly about Jio Financial Services (JFS) as the Consumer business (Jio, Retail) pinakin.m.parekh@jpmorgan.com

IPOs are still some time away. While New Energy remains the most interesting part
of RIL’s longer-term earnings and valuation story and we expect RIL to continue Sarfraz Bhimani, CFA
(91-22) 6157-3589
to buy and build the various pieces, we do not expect any immediate monetization
sarfraz.bhimani@jpmorgan.com
(via a stake sale similar to Jio/Retail). We expect incremental newsflow to be J.P. Morgan India Private Limited
centered mostly around JFS as RIL looks to build out the business. We currently
value JFS at the treasury share value of RIL it would hold, but believe most of the
upside in CY23 will likely come from JFS value creation as we get closer to the Key Changes (FYE Mar)
demerger. FII shareholding has also declined through CY22. We remain OW with Prev Cur
a Rs3,065 PT (end date to Dec-23 v/s June-23 previously). Adj. EPS - 23E (Rs) 125.10 114.69
Adj. EPS - 24E (Rs) 131.85 129.33
Adj. EBITDA - 23E (Rs mn) 1,558,351 1,466,675
• We cut our FY23 EPS by 8%, expect FY24 to be better on stable refining, Adj. EBITDA - 24E (Rs mn) 1,628,924 1,639,748
better Petrochem, higher E&P, and stronger Retail: The diesel export tax
and sharp collapse in Petrochem spreads drives our FY23 EPS cut. Going into Style Exposure
FY24 we expect range-bound oil prices to drive export taxes sharply lower.
China reopening should drive some recovery in Petrochem spreads (RIL
annualized polymer prod ~5.6MT, Polyester ~2.4MT, Fiber Intermediates
~3.6MT and Other Chemicals at ~14MT). Increase in India Gas prices
combined with higher volumes should drive India E&P higher. Retail should
also benefit from increased floor space, and telecom tariffs (~8-10%) should
be positive. With the spectrum auction done, overall capex intensity should
turn lower v/s FY23 (annualized capex including spectrum purchase has been
running at Rs1.4trn to Rs1.8trn in the last three quarters).
• While New Energy remains an interesting part of RIL’s longer-term
earnings and valuation thesis, CY23 is likely going to be all about JFS:
RIL’s vision for the New Energy business encompasses every part of the value
chain and RIL’s balance sheet and execution capabilities position it well.
However this is going to be a long-term story, with the next 2-3 year focus being
on Solar and that too for meeting the company’s internal requirements. From
a stock price perspective, we believe JFS is going to be the key driver. We
currently value JFS at the RIL treasury stock value (1x), and the next 12 months
depending on how RIL builds out and scales up JFS (organic/acquisition) will
likely determine how markets value JFS. Every 1x turn higher on the RIL
treasury stock adds ~Rs190 to our FV.
• YTD RIL has outperformed NIFTY driven by 1H performance; CY23
should again be a relative outperformer especially if markets are range-
bound/drift lower: Key risks include a) a collapse in GRMs; b) large M&A;
c) no tariff hikes; d) windfall taxes on Gas and a cap on prices.

Going into CY23, we expect another year of relative outperformance especially if the
markets remain choppy and RIL’s underlying earnings improvement comes through.
RIL is currently in another mini capex cycle across Petrochem, Telecom (Jio), New
Energy even as the ramp-up of non-telecom initiatives in Jio and continued ramp-up of
new initiatives in Retail (Digital, FMCG launch) continue. The full impact of all these
spending initiatives should be seen from CY24 onwards. In our view, how JFS is rolled
out/built out would be a key driver for the stock price in CY23, as current expectations
remain low.
Figure 1: RIL v/s NIFTY: In the last 11 years, RIL has NOT seen a negative return on a full year basis
(%)
RIL announced the demerger of Jio Financial Services (JFS) into a separate entity with
existing shareholder of RIL getting 1 share in JFS for every share they own in RIL. The
key points are as follows:
• a) Post the demerger JFS to be listed in the exchanges
• b) The current 6.1% holding in RIL owned by RIHL would be transferred to JFS,
and in our view, effectively for JFS that would be the starting point of valuation
(6.1% stake in RIL)
• c) Via the scheme of demerger, JFS would acquire liquid assets to provide adequate
regulatory capital for lending to consumers and merchants, and incubate other
financial service verticals for the next three years
• d) Per RIL, ‘JFSL and its subsidiaries (“JFS”) will leverage the technology
capability of Reliance and focus on digital delivery of financial products to
democratize financial services access for 1.4 billion Indians.The current footprint
touches more than 20 million consumers’.
• e) Per RIL, ‘JFS plans to launch consumer and merchant lending business based on
proprietary data analytics to complement and supplement the traditional credit
bureau-based underwriting. JFS will continue to evaluate organic growth, joint-
venture partnerships as well as inorganic opportunities in insurance, asset
management and digital broking segments. Flexible structure for JFS to partner
with strategic or financial investors with enhanced strategic focus to support the
company's growth drivers’.
We view the JFS demerger as a major positive as it would allow RIL shareholders
a direct play on India’s fast growing Digital Fintech market, via an entity which
would be able to leverage RIL’s vast footprint across Telecom and Retail. For
example in the Retail business, RIL currently has 16,617 stores across formats and
categories in its Retail business. RIL’s Retail business is the industry leader across
Retail categories. This large footprint gives JFS a material advantage. RIL’s telecom
footprint (Jio) and Retail footprint should allow for faster rollout of JFS.

We currently value JFS at the RIL treasury stock value (1x) and depending on how RIL
builds out and scales up JFS (organic/acquisition) will determine how markets value JFS.
Every 1x turn higher on the RIL treasury stock adds ~Rs190 to our FV. We view the JFS
demerger as a major positive as it would allow RIL shareholders a direct play on India’s fast
