July 24, 2015 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update Margin expansion in RE business continues Eicher Motors (EML) reported its Q2FY16 results with a topline of | 2917 crore (up 29.9% YoY), EBITDA margin of 14.8% (up 213 bps YoY) and PAT of | 222 crore (up 40.9% YoY) The results were below our estimates on the margin and bottomline front. The reported topline was above estimates on account of higher than estimated ASPs of the VECV business. The margins were marginally below our estimates on account of higher than estimated employee expenses. PAT was below estimates due to lower than estimated other income The Royal Enfield (RE) business continued its stellar performance, reporting margins of 26.4% against our estimates of 26%, mainly due to benefit of operating leverage. VECV business reported margins of 7.8%, in line with our estimates RE ramping up to meet the long waiting list Royal Enfield (RE), the world’s oldest active motorcycle brand, has created a league of its own through its differentiated look from other bikes & brand power. Volumes grew at 42.4% CAGR in CY09-14 vs. 8% CAGR in CY00-10. Transformation from a low volume company (51661 units in CY09; 302601 units in CY14) to a strong lifestyle brand in premium segment has been due to strong execution & branding. Launch of Classic brand & inclusion of new engine unit construction engine (UCE) in CY09 spurred demand while growth momentum was maintained through new launches, quality improvements, production ramp up & expansion in dealer network. Although Eicher has been adding capacity aggressively, there is yet an average waiting period of four to five months. Given this situation of demand outstripping supply, the company has raised its exit capacity guidance for CY15E to 600,000 unit, which can be stretched to 7,20,000 in CY16. The company also has land at Vallam Vadagal for its third plant, which will not start producing before CY17. Overall, favourable demographics, increasing urbanisation & dealer network expansion will aid in sustaining volume growth momentum, going ahead. Thus, we forecast sales volume CAGR of ~44.5% in CY14-FY17E. Pro Series may lead to market share gain VECV has a competitive edge over its peers in terms of technology & revenue streams from less cyclical businesses. In our view, on the financial front, the VECV JV boasts of the best business model among its peers, reflected in the fact that even in the worst CV cycle seen by the industry, VECV’s margins have stayed in the positive territory throughout the weak demand scenario, declining to 5.3% in Q4FY13 vis-à-vis incumbents Tata Motors. With new launches of the “Pro-series” trucks, we believe as the market expands in coming years VECV would gain market share in the higher tonnage space, maintain dominance in the ICV space. As the discounting levels taper off and operating leverage plays out we expect EBITDA margins to improve. Great business at fair valuations EML has justifiably commanded a premium over other auto OEs as RE’s business is in full throttle and VECV reaps the benefits of economic revival. We maintain peer valuation parameters (relative valuation vis-à- vis HOG’s high growth phase) and ascribe a higher multiple of 30xFY17E EPS for RE, VECV at 14x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively, to arrive at an SOTP target price of | 20545.

Company Analysis Our demographic analysis reveals that in the coming decade (2021) we could witness the share of the 15-40 years age population declining to 60% from 64% of total driveable population (>15<70 years). We observe that the first generation Splendor (Launched 1994) driving population (15>) would have been born <1980s. The same generation in 2014 would be aged ~ 34+ highlighting that as we move into 2021 the same class of buyers would be >42+. We assume that a bulk of 2-W drivers would be young (15-40 years). We, thus, interpret the fact that as we move into the next decade bulk of the young population i.e. (>15<30 years- Gen Z) would have been born in 90s and beyond, thereby having vastly different purchase habits and priorities (e.g. mileage/affordability vs. brand perception/comfort to their fathers (born <1980’s- Gen Y). Royal Enfield (RE), the world’s oldest active motorcycle brand, with its uniquely classical and powerful bikes, was always a cult among bike lovers. However, in the recent past, the new India emerging higher middle class have taken to it with few comparables. Exhibit 1: Young India to be big buyer class in next decade

Strong performance from “cult” RE, as volumes grow exponentially…

Acquired by the Eicher group in 1993, the company has made investments to build state-of-the-art manufacturing and product development facilities, a wide marketing network and develop a riding culture centred around leisure and adventure, thereby becoming the market leader in the premium motorcycle segment in India. RE’s volume CAGR over CY09-14 has been an astonishing 42.4%, albeit on a small base. However, large unfulfilled demand for RE products, especially in the 350 cc segments, makes us positive on the sustenance of growth as capacity expands. With newer product launches and export markets likely to be tapped, demand is likely to outstrip supply even with expanded capacity (~7.2 lakh units in CY16E). With a strong brand presence and long waiting periods, RE’s pricing power coupled with economies of scale have ensured that margins have remained on an uptrend. Going ahead, we expect margins to stabilise upwards of ~25% in FY16E, FY17E in a pattern similar to HOG in the early part of its history.

VECV contribution to profit to rise as cycle & pro-series aids growth Eicher and Volvo entered into a 50:50 JV in 2008 to which Eicher moved its truck & bus business. Also, Volvo invested | 1082 crore in the JV and added its HD trucks distribution business for a 45.6% stake. In the ensuing five years, the JV, VECV trucks outpaced industry growth, increasing market share to ~13% from 9% in FY08. In the bus segment (>5 T), VECV has doubled its market share to ~12%. On the financial front, VECV’s performance has been best in the industry with margins declining to ~5% when margins of its peers dropped to the negative territory (down ~5% for Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors).

We believe a recovery in the CV space is likely to increase VECV’s contribution to overall operating profits. This belief germinates from the fact that the company now has a strong distribution network comparable with incumbents – Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland. The VECV brand name has established itself among fleet owners while the launch of the new state-of the art Pro-series trucks would catalyse market share gains in the coming years. Going ahead, we build in improvement in margins from current levels to ~10.7% in FY17E, on the back of a better product mix & higher utilisation levels.

Strong overall financial performance as RE masks VECV weakness

With an increase in competitive intensity amid cyclical weakness in the M&HCV segment, VECV’s performance has declined in the past two years. However, RE’s strong performance has offset the weakness in the truck & bus segment. In our view, VECV’s performance is likely to improve with the recovery in the domestic M&HCV industry. We expect the topline to grow at ~37% CAGR in CY14-FY17E while PAT is likely to grow at ~65.5% CAGR in CY14-FY17E as margins improve from 13% in CY14 to 17.8% in FY17E.

Return ratios remain on uptrend margins/profitability improves

With Royal Enfield’s strong franchisee driving profitability, the overall business has been able to maintain decent return ratios despite the weakness in the VECV side of the business, which had seen a sharp drop in capacity utilisation levels. Going ahead, as RE volumes ramp up in the new facility, coupled with better performance from VECV on revival in industrial activity levels, return ratios are likely to remain on the uptrend.

Outlook and valuation Eicher’s business performance has been strong with Royal Enfield seeming unfazed by the slowdown in the Indian economy. With Indians lapping up cruiser bikes from Royal Enfield and witnessing huge waiting periods, RE has now enhanced capacity and looks set to make hay as the proverbial sun continues to shine. We believe RE is set to trace a similar path to Harley-Davidson’s (HOG) high growth phase (1998-2003). During this period where topline, bottomline grew ~2.5x, ~3.5x with EBITDA margins expanding from ~19% to ~27% and RoEs improving from 23% to 29%, respectively, HOG’s average valuations were >30x on one-year forward basis/PEG for two-year forward averaged ~0.6x (1998-2003). Prior to this high growth phase, HOG was able to grow its topline only by 2x in the preceding 10 years and exploded in the next five years. All these valuations need to be digested with the mature market multiples the US market would typically enjoy. In case of RE, in the last five years, revenue growth was ~5x. However, till FY17E, we expect profitability to grow ~3x. We believe with similar financials panning out for RE, its valuations are likely to replicate HOG’s journey.

EML has justifiably commanded a premium over other auto OEs as RE’s business is on full throttle, VECV reaps benefits of the economic revival. We maintain peer valuation parameters (relative valuation vis-à-vis HOG’s high growth phase) and ascribe a higher multiple of 30xFY17E EPS for RE, VECV at 14x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively. Considering Royal Enfield caters to the second largest two-wheeler market in the world with dominant market share positioning and superior financials vis-à-vis HOG (during 1998-2003), we believe RE could trade at a premium to HOG’s multiple considering the mature market nature of developed economies. Furthermore, on the VECV front, we value it at ~30% premium to domestic CV manufacturers average multiple at 14x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively, to arrive at an SOTP target price of | 20,545. We have a HOLD recommendation on the stock.
