Apollo Tyres enters Europe
A year after it acquired Dutch tyre maker Vredestein, domestic tyre major Apollo Tyres launched its own range of products in Europe. The company, which aims to be among the world’s top 10 tyre makers, is only the third Indian major automotive company after Tata Motors and Reva Electric to enter Europe.
Apollo will sell Vredestein's products in the higher range. The recent weakness in the euro is adding to its competitiveness. A small portion of the Vredstein products will be made in Europe. The Apollo space has been constructed keeping in mind the various brands and special attributes that the company brings to European customers. Leading the range are the passenger vehicle tyres from Apollo that are being introduced into Europe. These are the Amazer 3G Maxx, Acelere, Aspire and Hawkz, along with the Acelere Winter and Hawkz Winter. Also housed are the Vredestein and Maloya brands. A key feature of the Vredestein range is the new generation Nextreme range of winter tyres that have just been introduced into the market.
The company plans to exploiting India’s low production costs, add value to it with Vredestein technology, and then ship it to Europe to enjoy a cost advantage over European tyre firms. Apollo’s tyres would be manufactured in Baroda and shipped to the UK, Germany and Holland. After March 2011, it will cover the whole of Europe.
Dividend The Board of Directors of the Company has recommended a dividend @ Re. 0.75 per Share amounting to Rs. 378.02 Millions on Equity Shares of Re. 1/- each as dividend for the year.
Go Slow by workers At Company's Manufacturing Plant at Perambra (Kerala)

The workers have resorted to go slow as a pressure tactics for bargaining long term settlement. However, the other units of the Company, both in India and abroad, are operating in full capacity. The management is confident of resolving this matter amicably within a reasonable time.

The company plans to exploiting India’s low production costs, add value to it with Vredestein technology, and then ship it to Europe to enjoy a cost advantage over European tyre firms. Apollo’s tyres would be manufactured in Baroda and shipped to the UK, Germany and Holland. After March 2011, it will cover the whole of Europe.
We recommend ‘BUY’ this stock with a target price of Rs.85.00 for medium to long term investment.
Industry Overview
• Demand for tyres is derived from demand for automobiles. Therefore it is a ‘derived demand’ product and its fortunes are very closely linked to those of the auto segment. Within the tyre industry the trucks and buses (T&B) segment accounts for more than 70% of sales. Though scooters and motorcycle tyre demand also plays a vital role, in value terms, CVs gain significance.
• Tyre varieties can be divided into two categories – cross ply and radial. The domestic industry is dominated by cross-ply tyres, due to the poor conditions of roads in the country and overloading of CVs. This is also the reason why penetration of radial tyres in the CV segment is negligible and finds presence only in the passenger car segment. On the other hand, radial tyres dominate western markets. Radial tyres can be differentiated on the type of belt used – fiberglass, steel and nylon. Worldwide, steel belted radials are more popular due to their performance advantage.
• There are three major consumer segments for tyres namely replacement segment, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and exports. Though fortunes of the sector are closely tied with the automobile industry, replacement demand continues to remain the key growth driver. Replacement demand
19
accounts for as high as 57% of industry volumes. However, the contribution from OEM and replacement segments varies across sub-segments in the auto sector. For instance, for the passenger car segment, demand is balanced from replacement and OEM categories i.e. 50:50.
• Another key transition that is taking place in the industry is the entry of multinationals like Good Year, Bridgestone and Michelin in the domestic market. MNC tyre makers have cornered a higher market share in India in the last three years due to their international relationships apart from superior technology. Since Honda, Hyundai and Toyota have an international sourcing agreement with Bridgestone; it is also the preferred supplier in India. Goodyear is believed to be the preferred supplier for Ford India.
• An extensive distribution network and strong brand recall are factors critical to tyre sales. Brand building is given a lot of importance by manufacturers, who allot 2-3% of sales to advertising. With the introduction of radial tyres, even technology has assumed significance. All foreign cars introduced in the country are on radial tyres.
• Raw materials constitute 60%-70% of production cost of tyres. Natural rubber and Nylon cord fabrics are the most critical raw materials as it accounts for 50% of total raw material cost. Since most of the raw materials are crude derivatives, a rise in prices has a negative impact on margins.
• The export market holds tremendous potential for domestic manufacturers. Tyre exports have grown at an annual compounded rate of 27% over the past 10 years. Indian tyres are exported to 56 countries, which are primarily developing countries.
