Best proxy to PV and CV recovery
Subros is the largest automotive air conditioning systems company in India with >40% market
share in the domestic passenger vehicle industry, supplying mainly to MSIL and other players
like M&M, TAMO and Renault Nissan. It also supplies air conditioning systems to commercial
vehicles (MS -70%), railways (MS – 77%), home AC, Engine Cooling Modules (ECM), buses and
reefers. With strong demand in non PVs segment, Subros has been de-risking its business
model by reducing its dependence on subdued PV segment as witnessed in Q1 FY20, where the
non PVs have contributed 27% of topline up from 13% in FY17. Subros’ continuous efforts for
indigenization of raw materials, cost optimization, modification of processes and advantage of
operating leverage are expected to bring a 50 bps improvement in margins in FY21E over a low of
FY20E. The company is done with its major capex and hence will be accompanied by high Asset
To Turnover ratio (1.5x in FY21E), improvement in margins and higher FY21E ROCE (18.3%). We
expect revenues CAGR of 7% and PAT CAGR of 24.4% between FY19-21E and recommend a BUY
with a target price of ₹303.

Subros to benefit from any recovery happening in the PV industryThe PV segment comprised 73% of total revenues in Q1 FY19, out of which about 72% was
contributed by MSIL. The other customers are M&M, Tata Motors and Renault Nissan. Subros
supplies to all the major successful models such as the Baleno, Brezza, Wagon R, Ertiga, Kwid,
Tiago, Nexon, Tigor, Marazzo etc. Despite a major slowdown in the auto industry, and multiple
headwinds for the industry, we believe GOI’s taxation reforms, good rainfall and expected good
festive season may bring some ray of hope for the PV industry. MSIL being the market leader and
Subros being the key supplier to all the major models of the company, stands to benefit maximum
from any recovery happening in the sector.
Increasing revenue proportion from non PV verticals to provide a good business mixSubros is gaining traction from the Non PV businesses such as Home AC, Trucks & buses, Railways,
reefers etc. This proportion has reached 27% in Q1 FY20 and management expects it to reach 40%
in medium term. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in 2018 made it mandatory to install
AC/blowers in cabins of MHCVs. This provided a very good opportunity for Subros who already had
a good relation with the OEMs. Subros gained a 70% market share in it and is now a major supplier
to all the OEMs. Subros manufactures radiators for Denso Corp and MSIL. Furthermore, Subros
also supplies to trains, metro coaches, buses and reefers. These businesses were at nascent stage
till a year ago, but now form a major chunk in Subros’ topline and are expected to expand well
further.
Margin improvement to be supported by indigenization of RM and operating leverageSubros’s continuous efforts to localize RM sourcing have resulted in a drop in import content. The
company is working on strategies to improve margins significantly from current levels through –
1). Cost optimization with modification of processes 2). Increase in capacity utilization which in
turn would fetch operating leverage benefits 3). Backward integration for high-value components.

Company backgroundIncorporated in 1985, Subros is a joint venture (JV) company with 37% ownership by Suri family, 20%
by Denso Corporation (Denso) and 12% by Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC). Subros, in technical
collaboration with Denso (a Japanese auto components maker), is an integrated manufacturer and
market leader for auto air-conditioning units. It is engaged in manufacturing of thermal products
such as compressors, condensers, heat exchangers and all connecting elements required to
complete AC loop for automotive applications.
It caters to all major automotive segments i.e. passenger vehicles (PV), commercial vehicles (CV;
Trucks, Buses & Refrigerator transport), Off-roaders and Railways. It also entered into Home AC
segment in FY17 and has gained a strong footmark in this segment off late. The PV segment is its
primary segment, contributing 72% to the overall revenues while the non-PV segment contributes
~28%. Subros enjoys 42% market share in the PV segment in FY19, (which has moved up to 45% Q1
FY20) with Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) being its major client. M&M, Tata Motors, Renault are among its
other major clients in the PV industry.
Subros has eight plants across India – 2 each at Manesar and Noida (North), one at Pune and two in
Gujarat including a Greenfield plant at Karsanpura (West) and one in Chennai (South), with a total
current capacity standing at 2.25 million AC kits. It also has a technical center in collaboration with
Denso and a tool manufacturing center in Noida.

Investment ArgumentDespite short term worries, long term aspects of the PV industry remain intactThe automobile industry has been staring at an imminent breakdown as sales of PVs hit a slow lane
of growth ever since the NBFC crisis in October 2018 . The episode has led to tight liquidity condition
for automobile financiers as cash strapped NBFCs were forced to slam breaks on fresh lending. With
vehicle loans turning dearer and hard to come, consumers have started putting off their decision to
buy vehicles.
Going forward, this crisis is likely to persist for a longer period considering the fact that internal
factors like new launches alone will not be able to restart the growth engine of the sector. But the
corporate tax cuts, easing of stringent lending norms by NBFCs along with easy availability of finance
(~80% of cars and ~100% of trucks are bought through financing) will help the sector to kick start
its growth engines. Also steps such as BS VI pre-buying, reduction in registration and insurance
costs and the announcement of a meaningful scrappage policy sooner than later may help revive
the sector.
On the positive side, low base of H2 last year, good 2019 monsoons and increase in rural income
may lead to a recovered festive season demand and aid improvement in sentiments in second
half. We expect FY20E to register negative growth for the PV sector as YTD August PV sales have
registered 23% drop. However, as we expect second half to be better than first half, the full year
growth is expected to be better than the YTD August rate. We expect economy to improve and
sectoral positives to pan out well in FY21E, thus reporting at least 6-7% growth in the sector.
Being a main supplier to MSIL strengthens the case even in challenging market environmentMSIL is one of the largest PV manufacturers in India with market share of >50% in FY19. We believe it
would continue to be the biggest beneficiary despite challenging environment, given its stronghold
in the entry-level segment and petrol segment, which is a better option in BS VI regime. Furthermore,
its new launches targeted towards filling gaps in its portfolio would improve the overall product
mix and drive growth, mainly in FY21E. Additionally the wide portfolio and the launches that the
company comes up gain a good deal of market share too. We estimate MSIL to post negative growth
in FY20E while the pent up demand is expected to go up in FY21E.

Subros – Best proxy on the MSIL’s growth storyIn FY19, Subros supplied ~ 72% of the total AC requirement of MSIL, catering to all the highest selling
models i.e. Baleno, Brezza, Swift, Dzire, Ignis, etc. Besides petrol, it started providing ACs to diesel
variants from FY16 onwards, which led to increase in business with MSIL from 65% in FY16 to 72%
currently. Diesel cars account for nearly 30% of MSIL’s total sales volume. With MSIL being the top
revenue contributor (72% of PV segment revenues) for Subros, we expect it to benefit the most
from former’s out performance to PV industry growth. We are aware that the PV industry is going
into down turn, but in comparison with the industry, still the market share of MSIL is maintained at
52-53%, which indicates that MSIL is de-growing at a pace not higher than the industry. In Q1 FY19,
Subros’s market share in PV has moved up to 45% on the back of winning orders for the refreshed
Wagon R and Ertiga platforms and Renault Nissan’s exports. Subros will also supply to the newly
launched XL6, upcoming launch of S-Presso and all the new model launches of MSIL till FY21E.
Subros focused on gaining business from other PV players tooApart from MSIL, Subros supplies components to other PV manufacturers like M&M (30% Share
of Business or SoB), Renault-Nissan (20%) and TAMO (35%). Last year it tied up with Renault to
supply condensers in Brazil, where Renault sells ~ 0.3mn cars. Over the last 3 years, it has been
able to increase its SoB with M&M and Renault as well besides MSIL. Thus with SoB improving
across OEMs, its overall market share in the PV industry has augmented to ~42% in FY19 from
34%/37%/40% in FY16/FY17/FY18. It further aims to increase its SoB with these other OEMs, in
order to improve its revenue mix and expand its overall market share in the PV industry. While,
MSIL would continue to contribute significantly to Subros revenue, the robust sale of existing and
new models (Kwid, KUV 100, Tiago, Hexa, Nexon, Marazzo etc.) by these other OEM’s would drive
growth for Subros. Furthermore, the company would like to reduce its dependence on MSIL to de-
risk its business model.
Radiators business to flourish further on EV wave and Denso increasing its shareIn 2014, Subros entered into MoU with Denso to supply global standard cooling modules (radiators)
to them, which they in turn supply to Suzuki Motors and M&M. Radiators are the heat exchangers
used to transfer thermal energy from one medium to another for cooling and heating. With the
initial investment of ₹250mn in FY16, it installed 0.50mn capacity p.a. at its existing Manesar plant
and further increased it to 0.75mn by FY17. The supply started from March 2016, but was halted
due to a fire incident at the plant in May 2016. It resumed from January 2017, post the repair
work. FY18 being its full year of production, management generated revenue of ~₹2.2bn in that
year, while it grew by 29% in FY 19 to ₹2.85 bn. We estimate revenue CAGR of 8% over FY19-
21E to INR3.3bn from this segment. Due to minimal investment incurred in setting up the radiator
production line, we expect this segment to boost profitability and improve return ratios. Recently

Regulatory compulsion to trigger CV business growthAs per the notification from Ministry of Road Transport and Highway, ACs or blowers are mandatory in N2 and N3 category of trucks (3.5 tonnes and above) from January 2018. Few OEMs had already been offering AC cabins in their CVs but the market for it was extremely low. With this notification coming in, demand for AC/blower in truck cabin has risen extensively. Currently, the majority of the customers have opted for blowers as it’s one-fourth the cost of AC and only a few customers have chosen AC fitment as an optional action.
After the notification, Subros leveraged its existing strong relations with the OEMs and acquired
~70% market share in the truck cabin AC/ blower space in no time. After this regulation, it received
orders to supply 2.4 lakh units annual from the OEMs such as Ashok Leyland (supplying 90% of
blower requirement), Tata Motors (75%), M&M (100%) & Swaraj Mazda Isuzu (100%) in the blower
space and Daimler (30%) in the AC space. The above requirement was catered through its existing
Chennai and Pune plants where it had earlier invested ₹250mn (capacity of 300,000 units p.a.) for
adding the truck business. Its key competitors with approximate market shares are Sanden (16%
market share), Bergstorm (6%), Air International (5%), Mahle Behr (2%) & others. In FY19, Subros
earned 5% of its revenues from CVs business at ₹1.05 bn, and is expected to earn more post CV
recovery.

Denso increased its stake from 13% to 20% which would further bring Next-Gen technology for this
business and help it to flourish further. Also the EV wave which is the future of the auto sector, will
increase the content per vehicle from this business as EVs would require high power battery cooling
module. We believe Subros is well prepared to fetch the advantages of future technologies due to
its much closer collaboration with Denso.

Subros’s newer ventures contributing meaningfully to its topline1). Railways- Subros entered the Railway segment in FY14 by developing import substitute for driver cabin AC for diesel locomotives. Currently, it caters to only driver cabin AC with market share of ~77%. Its key competitors are Cool Air (10% market share), Lloyd Electric & Engineering (7%) and Sidwal Refrigeration Industries (6%) Pvt. Ltd. Couple of years back, the company got shortlisted by two major Tier 1 suppliers of Indian Railways i.e. Bombardier India and Medha Servo Drives Pvt Ltd. They have engaged with Subros for future projects with Integral Coach Factory (ICF), Chennai. As part of this engagement, both the companies have awarded trial orders to Subros. This opportunity has provided strong business growth in this segment. Apart from this, Subros also plans to enter railway coaches and evaluate opportunities in metro AC coach segment. Currently, majority of AC’s are imported from China, Korea and Australia in this space. Subros targets to achieve 25% market share in railway coaches and 10% market share in metros. It expects to generate INR1bn revenue by FY21, which was ₹200 mn in FY 19.
2). Home AC - Subros forayed into the Home AC segment in FY17 by supplying 50k condensers to Whirlpool. It is looking to tie up with other players and currently added E-Durables as its client which is one of the largest and fully backward integrated OEM service provider in India, catering to clients like LG Electronics, Haier, Voltas etc. In Q4 FY19, the company acquired Zamil Air Conditioners India Ltd (Zamil) for ₹115 mn to manufacture home air conditioning systems. Through this initiative, Subros has created capacity of 0.5 mn units per year to reach and supply home AC supply to various OEMs such as Voltas, Havells, Whirlpool and E-Durables. In a very short period of time, Subros has made strong inroads into the Home AC industry and now contributes 11% of the topline in Q1 FY20 with revenues of ₹620 mn. Management expects this business to contribute ~₹1.25 bn in FY 20E. Though the EBITDA margins of this business are lower compared to PV AC segment, increase in utilization rates (currently 60%) may lead to improvement in margins. The strategy to broad base the revenue mix is enabling Subros counter the slowdown in auto segment. Management expects the non auto business which contributed 27% in Q1 FY19 to reach 40% in the medium term on the back of traction observed in the robust Home AC segment.
3). Aftermarkets - Subros will focus more on aftermarket in the coming years. So far the company treated aftermarket business as only a support system for OEM business. But with 90 dealers across the country, the company aims to increase its contribution from aftermarket to the total business from 4% currently.
4). Other verticals –In the buses segment, Subros is a 100% supplier to Force Motors for its Traveller AC buses, ranging from a load of 4kw to 8kw. It has also launched a 45kW AC for low floor city bus application. Though the demand for AC bus is at nascent stage currently, it is expected to grow at a good pace over the next 3-4 years. Subros is keen to secure business from State Transport Undertakings (STUs) as most of them are expanding their AC bus fleet.

In the Reefers segment, Subros entered the reefers segment in FY14 anticipating huge demand.
But the segment did not grow for the company as the market still remains unexploited. However it
has set-up a plant in Greater Noida to manufacture the complete body of the truck along with the
AC kit to provide a ready solution to retailers and cold chain suppliers. Earlier clients used to get
a chassis, source the AC kit from Thermoking or Carrier and then get the body built. Despite the
slow movement in the refrigerated truck segment, the company is anticipating good demand in the
coming years which would be fueled by the entry of multinational large retail chains.
Indigenisation of RM costs, changing revenue mix and operating leverage to improve marginsDespite auto industry slowing down, we believe Subros will report improving margins on the back
of 1). Focusing on diversifying into non PV business. Currently Home AC is reporting lower margins.
However this business looks very promising looking at the significant jump in Q1 FY20 revenues
coming from this segment. Viewing this, we believe that utilization rates in this business should
improve from current 60%, thus improving volumes and margins. 2). it aims at reducing the import
content of raw material to 25% from 35% in FY19 (already down from 60% in FY13) and bring raw
material cost down to 65% by FY21 from 69.9% in FY19 (was 71.7% in FY13). In an attempt to reduce
imported content, Subros opened a new plant – Subros Tool Engg Centre (STEC) in Noida in 2014
to address captive tool and mold requirements. It specializes in high-tech, niche tooling to meet
specialty tools requirements. & 3). As and when the auto sector revives, we expect the segment to
offer operating leverage with the overall utilization rates moving northwards.

In the last six years, Subros has generated accumulated strong operating Cashflows of ~9bn, while incurring capex close to ₹7.8 bn. The company has incurred major capex in the last couple of years to start the operation of its Greenfield Karsanpura plant (capex of ₹110 cr for both the phases) and will incur just 60-70 cr of capex in FY 20E as maintenance capex. In FY 21E too, the capex will lie in a similar range. The Phase 1 at Karsanpura plant has started operations in May 2019 with a capacity of 750,000 and at a capex of ₹60 cr for supplying to Suzuki Motors Gujarat. The second phase will come up by FY21-22. Over the next two years, we expect ROA to increase to 7.3% from 5.3% in FY 19, margins to improve to 11% in FY 21 from 10.7% in FY 19 and ROCE to increase at ~18% despite
auto sector facing a slowdown.

Outlook and valuationAlthough the auto industry is under pressure currently, we believe that PV industry will see an improvement in FY21E, if not in H2 of FY20. Good monsoons, taxation reforms by GOI, better festive, low base of H2 FY19 and BS VI demand may result in improved second half. In FY21E, new model launches, low base of FY21 and pent up demand of FY20E may lead to a much stronger year. In view of this, we expect Subros to be among the early ones to be benefitted being the market leader in auto AC business. In the Non PV business, the Zamil acquisition has resulted into an extra-ordinary strong traction in the Home AC business, while regulatory compulsion has opened the doors for the company in the CV sector. Opportunities in the form of approvals to target the metro coaches in railways are another big opportunity. By virtue of this, the company is able to reduce its dependence on auto business vertical. With superb efforts towards localization of RM, operating leverage (mainly in the Home AC business), and modification of processes will lead to margin growth. With continuous debt repayment, we expect net D/E to reach 0.12x in FY21E from 0.78x in FY 18 and 0.28x in FY19. Reduction in capex will lead to improvement in return ratios, due to which we believe that the company can command premium valuations. The stock is currently trading at 13.7x FY21E earnings. We initiate a BUY rating on the stock with a target price of ₹303, valued at FY21E PE of 17x.
Risks• Slower than expected recovery in the auto sector may dent our expectations from the auto
sector
• Slowing down of demand in Home AC segment may not lead to margin improvement.
• Increase in RM prices may hurt margins.
