Outlook & Recommendation

Two wheeler industry

Motley of demand buttressing factors including higher minimum support price, farm loan waivers in select states and

improved sentiment post near - normal monsoon in last few years would support Indian two-wheeler industry projected

growth of 8-10% during FY19, reckons ICRA. It also contends that motorcycle demand would b supported by higher rural

income, while scooters demand would rise thanks to rapid urbanization, increased affordability and greater penetration.

Yet concerns of demand headwinds loom. Increasing prices of two wheelers - perpetuated by rising raw material prices,

increase in insurance premiums and rise in interest rates pose demand suppressing risks. But GOI's renewed thrust on rural

development and farmers welfare came to fore in recently concluded Union Budget, a welcome development for

manufacturers of two-wheelers, tractors, farm equipments and LCVs.

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, Senior Vice-President - Sales and Marketing, Yadvinder Singh Guleria, reckons that

higher disposable income in hands of 3 crore households for whom two-wheeler is a basic transport is most welcome. "We are

cautiously optimistic that the resultant positive customer sentiments can offset the industry slowdown caused by the

insurance premium hike and bring back the industry momentum to earlier estimate of higher single digits".

Higher fuel prices coupled with rising interest rates dented consumer sentiment prodding ICRA to revise downwards its

domestic passenger vehicle sales growth to 7-% from earlier guidance of 8-9%. It feels that despite subdued growth, credit

profile of most PV OEMs remain strong supported by healthy cash accruals and strong parentage. Yet SIAM is more modest in

its outlook for it expects PV sales growth of just 5.5% this year, a sharp climb down from previous estimate of 7-9%.

Financials & Valuation

LGBs localization drive - catering to OEMs including Eicher, Diamler - continues for it scarcely staggers to commission its

Chennai plant by early next fiscal. Past investments in automation and efficiency enhancement in Jalna has started to bear fruit

for it has helped overcome ongoing margin stress in transmission business - Q3 saw sharp dip in margins in transmission

business to 8.3% Vs 11.4% for the company witnessed shrinkage in orders and battled higher fixed costs including raw

material costs.

Yet rising on high base effect of current fiscal and no dismal volume growth (Indian two wheeler industry estimated to grow in

high single digit), LGB's transmission business would stabilize next fiscal. Pass through of seemingly rigid fixed costs like

power & fuel, employee costs etc to cost conscious OEMs has proved to be a no small challenge for auto component suppliers.

Given intense competition and strong purchasing power of OEMs, auto component suppliers including LGB have oftentimes

failed to demonstrate strong pricing power.

For the more quality efficient metal forming business, the current fiscal has proved to be of little stress, if at all. Given

involvement of high value addition and skimpy volume of components (supplies over 350 components) , margins have failed

to restrain over the last few quarters. Yet high dependability on volumes continue to be a sore point for margins tend to barely

in move in tandem with turnover. Unexpected drop in volumes in metal forming business have no propitious outcome - its

margins slid from 12.6% in FY15 to 8.5% in FY17.

The stock currently trades at 12.2x FY19e EPS of Rs 31.63 and 9.9x FY20e EPS of Rs 38.87. Rise in interest rates and increase in

prices of two- wheelers arising from higher raw material prices and insurance premiums pose upside risks to domestic two-

wheeler demand. Yet increased OEM acceptability of its transmission products coupled with robust exports of fine products

would help overcome stress in demand. Earnings are projected to rise by 16.4% next fiscal on higher margins (though only

marginally); earnings per share for current fiscal would largely fall in line with our previous estimate of Rs 33.09. On balance

we maintain our buy rating on the stock with target of Rs 544 (previous target: Rs 662) based on 14x FY20e earnings. For more

info refer to our Feb 2018 report.

Risks & Concerns

Dreary automobile sector

As the automobile sector forms a bulk of LGB's revenue, slow pick up in two wheeler sales could impact its volumes. Lower

than expected moderation in interest rates would further jeopardize resurrection in auto demand.

Margin pressure

Plethora of factors imperil margins including rising raw material costs, acute power shortages, pricing pressure by clients (read

OEMs) and import of auto components from low cost locations.

Supported by pick up in Indian automobile sector, Munjal Showa's sales reversed course to report 8.3% growth in sales last fiscal -

after two successive years of decline. OPMs rose too though by just 40 bps, thus helping PBT to grow by 19.8% and post tax

earnings by 27.2%. But gains appear to be short-lived for OPMs plunged by 100 bps in 9MFY19, barely helping earnings

resurrection - post tax earnings flat lined.

Largely OE focused (86% of sales in H1FY19) Gabriel India, reported sharp dip in profitability in Q3, muddling a robust recovery

witnessed last fiscal when sales jumped 20.6% - the highest rate in several years - and post tax earnings rose 14%; despite lower

aftermarket sales which was impacted by demonetization. The company's railways business unit did well so did passenger cars

business unit (grew by 14%). Sales last quarter dipped over 5% while profits nearly 24%, buffeted by over 100 bps drop in operating

margins. Gabriel would little shy from making a couple of investments - one in plant for manufacture of the piston rod used in

shock absorbers and the other in Sanand to service a key 2&3 - wheelers customer’s need for front fork.

In a dramatic turn of events Minda Corporation posted nearly 24% drop in operating profit in Q3 largely on account of operating

loss in its interior system business on account of higher raw material costs and adverse product mix, thus smudging most of the

good work in H1 when operating profit climbed 30.2% on strong sales growth. Yet sales growth barely disappointed (20.9%) last

quarter for its SSR system recorded 17.5% growth on higher exports and DIS system posted 19.8% growth in sales on increased

share in two wheeler segment. Some of its large order wins in Q3 include lockset supply to a leading 2W OEM (lifetime order worth

Rs 460 crs), EFI wiring harness supply order to a global 2W OEM (life time Rs 145 crs) and EGT sensors supply to 4W OEM (lifetime

Rs 70 crs)

FY12-14 implies two years ending fiscal 14; *as on terminal year;

Confluence of sustained growth in its transmission business and near spectacular rise in metal forming business (77% growth

projected in FY18-20e period from 22% in the three year period ending FY17) would scarcely restricted overall revenue growth

to 40.8%, thus helping overall OPMs to surge strikingly to 13.4% (12.2% in the previous three year period). Though

transmission business still rules the roost (~74% of revenues projected in FY18-20e period), it is unexpected resurrection in

metal forming business (25% contribution to EBIT in FY18-20 from 18.5% in FY15-17 and 14.1% in FY12-14) that has added the

much needed zing.

Partially helped by decline in interest expense post tax earnings would zoom by 53.9%; yet susceptibility of earnings to

setbacks in auto demand would continue to dog. Rise in return on capital (ROE estimated to flat line) would be stymied by no

meager capital investments in last few years, more so in enriching efficiency and product quality. Its effect to be subtly

reflected in sober asset turnover ratios - fixed asset turnover ratio projected to marginally rise to 4x in FY18-20 (see table). Better

working capital would help record prominent gains in cash conversion cycle (see table).
