Institutional Equities Reuters: EICH.NS; Bloomberg: EIM IN Eicher Motors Initiating Coverage Aspire The Bike, Aspire The Stock! We initiate coverage on Eicher Motors (EML) with a Buy rating as we believe its growth momentum will continue over FY18/FY19. We expect 20% volume CAGR for Royal Enfield, over FY17-19E. In terms of demand, we believe the demand in leisure bike and premium segments will continue to remain strong as the existing two-wheeler base (~70mn) moves towards better and high-end products. Royal Enfield’s EBITDA margin at 31% is the best in the industry, which we believe will expand further by ~120bps over FY18E/FY19E as better economies of scales leads to further margin expansion. The company plans to add ~300 dealers over FY18E/FY19E (~40% growth over FY17 number) which coupled with the launch of new bikes (two new launches in FY18/FY19) should result in demand remaining strong for another two years. We have assigned Buy rating to EML with a SOTP-based target price of Rs32,566, up 16% from the current market price (35x FY19E EPS of Royal Enfield and 15x FY19E EPS of VECV). Volume growth expected to continue: Royal Enfield’s volume growth in the past few years has been phenomenal, posting 51% CAGR over FY11-FY17. Consistent strong demand has outpaced supply resulting in a strong order book for the company which currently stands at ~1.5 2.0 months. The company is expanding capacity by 150,000 units to 825,000 units and will commence production from its new plant at Vallam Vadgal in Chennai by August 2017, which will further result in higher despatches to customers. We believe Royal Enfield has more legs to grow in the coming years as Royal Enfield’s market share is just 5.9% of the over 11mn domestic motorcycle industry volume in India. Strong replacement demand, uptrade of existing two wheeler base to premium segment bikes, strong dealer expansion, rising exports and marketing initiatives should result in double-digit volume growth momentum for Royal Enfield in the coming years. We expect 20% volume CAGR growth for Royal Enfield over FY17- FY19E. Margins set to expand further: EML is one of the most profitable companies with its two- wheeler EBITDA margin above 30%. 4QFY17 margin at 31.4% is the highest-ever as the company has been consistently improving margins YoY. In the last seven years, the company posted 2,100bps margin expansion from 10.0% to 31.3%. We expect the margins to expand further on the back of better economies of scale with. We expect another 120bps margin expansion over FY18E/FY19E. Strong financials: We believe that Royal Enfield’s ready brand acceptance in the two-wheeler space and its niche positioning in the cruise bike segment will help it sustain 20% CAGR volume growth over FY17-19E. The company has lined up two new launches over FY18/FY19 which will serve in strengthening its product portfolio. We expect the company to post sales/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 24%/26%/25%, respectively, over FY17-FY19E and margins to remain resilient at over 30% level. Further, the company has been generating strong free cash flow over the past few years which is expected to remain strong over FY17-FY19 even after meeting capex requirement. Valuation: EML stock has re-rated significantly in the past few years on the back of strong volume growth and earnings growth led by volume and margin expansion. It is one of the most expensive automobile stocks, but we believe the premium is justified on account of continuous outperformance on volume and margin fronts. We have assigned Buy rating to EML with a SOTP-based target price of Rs32,566, up 16% from the current market price (35x FY19E EPS of Royal Enfield and 15x FY19E EPS of VECV).

Valuation/stock price performance

EML stock has been significantly re-rated in the past few years on the back of strong volume and earnings growth led by volume and margin expansion. It is one of the most expensive automobile stocks, but we believe the premium is justified because of continuous outperformance on volume and margin fronts. The stock currently trades at 29x FY19E, at a premium to its peers. We believe the company will continue to report strong 25% earnings CAGR over FY17-FY19E led by 20% volume CAGR and margin expansion. We have assigned Buy rating to EML with a SOTP-based target price of Rs32,566, up 16% from the current market price (35x FY19E EPS of Royal Enfield and 15x FY19E EPS of VECV).

Investment Rationale

Volume growth expected to continue

Royal Enfield’s volume growth in the past few years has been phenomenal, posting 51% CAGR over FY11-FY17. Consistent strong demand has outpaced supply resulting in a strong order book for the company, but with capacity expansion and a rising base the order book currently stands at ~1.5 – 2.0 months. The company will commence production from its new plant at Vallam Vadgal in Chennai by August 2017, which will further result in higher despatches to customers. We believe EML has more legs to grow in the coming years as Royal Enfield’s market share is just 5.9% of the over 11mn domestic motorcycle industry volume in India. Strong replacement demand, uptrade of existing two-heeler base to premium segment bikes, strong dealer expansion, rising exports and marketing initiatives should result in double-digit volume growth momentum for Royal Enfield in the coming years. We expect 20% volume CAGR for Royal Enfield over FY17-FY19E.

Currently Royal Enfield is struggling to meet its existing demand as it faces capacity constraints which should start easing once the third plant comes on stream in August 2017 at Vallam Vadagal. The new plant will take the capacity to 825,000 units by the end of FY18, implying 24% growth on YoY basis. As regards new launches, the company plans to launch two new models - one in FY18 and the other in FY19 - to stimulate demand for higher CC bikes in domestic as well as export markets.

Rising capacity to result in lower waiting period, but does not necessarily mean a drop in volume

With its new plant to come on stream in August 2017, Royal Enfield bikes’ waiting period will come down, which currently stands at around two months. The drop in waiting period doesn’t necessarily mean a fall in volume and we believe the order intake should remain healthy for Royal Enfield and result in strong double-digit volume growth for the next two years. We note that Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) also had similar capacity constraints few years ago, but its brand Activa has continued the growth momentum even after the new capacity came on stream. We expect 24% YoY growth in volume for Royal Enfield in FY18E and another 17% volume growth in FY19E.

Uptrading of existing two-wheelers

India is the biggest two-wheeler market in the world with a two-wheeler population base of ~70mn. Existing life cycle of a two-wheeler is close to six to eight years. With rising disposable income and aspiration of upgrading to a better product, Royal Enfield is in a sweet spot to get the maximum from uptrading of two-wheelers. In FY17 Royal Enfield sold ~0.65mn two-wheelers India, which is ~1% of the existing two-wheeler population in India. Even if a small percentage of the huge two-wheeler base moves from motorcycles/scooters/mopeds to Royal Enfield bikes, it should take care of the growth in the coming years. We note that customers are moving from entry/executive bikes to premium motorcycles/scooters. Premium segment motorcycles’ share has gone up from 17% in FY14 to 23% in FY17, while that of Royal Enfield in the premium bike segment has increased from 39% to 45% in the same period.

Dealer expansion to further drive growth for the company

Royal Enfield currently has 675 dealer touchpoints in India. This is much less than Hero MotoCorp’s ~6,500 dealer touch points. Royal Enfield has focused on cities as the price points for its models are nearly 2x that of traditional motorcycles, but the company is now focusing on increasing its dealer network in small towns and cities. We believe there is ample scope for Royal Enfield to increase its distribution network in India and that should drive growth for the company in the coming years. The company currently derives close to 40 – 45 % of its volume from top 20 cities in India where stores are reporting 15% same-store sales growth or SSG every year. With the next segmental growth expected to come from rural areas as customers move from entry/executive segment bikes to leisure bikes, we believe Royal Enfield will register strong distribution-led growth in the coming years.

Export strategy still to play out in a big way

Exports currently form just 2% of Royal Enfield’s overall volume, although they have increased in line with strong domestic volume ramp-up backed by rising capacity. We expect Royal Enfield’s exports to contribute 4% to overall sales by FY19E as the company launches two new models for global markets – one each in 2017 and 2018. Royal Enfield has created decent international exposure with company-owned dealerships in key cities globally through 25 exclusive stores The company will now launch a 750cc motorcycle and another mid-sized motorcycle globally in 2018. We expect the export volume to grow significantly in absolute numbers from 15,000 units in FY17 to 41,000 units in FY19E. With a rising distribution network in export markets and two new bike launches, there is upside prospect to our export estimate.

Royal Enfield’s 350cc bikes continues to dominate the show

Royal Enfield has not launched new models in a significant way in recent years due to capacity constraints. The company launched a Himalayan motorcycle more than a year ago, but has not received as significant a response as expected. The company will now launch two new models in two years, which if successful, will drive sales momentum further in the next two years. Currently, the 350cc bikes dominate the show for Royal Enfield with majority of its volume coming from these models.

Strong replacement demand

Royal Enfield’s volume posted a CAGR of 51% over FY11-FY17 as the company witnessed strong demand momentum post FY10. Most of the two-wheelers have a life cycle of six to eight years and hence there could be strong replacement demand kicking in for Royal Enfield in the coming years. It is also noteworthy that despite the huge success witnessed by Royal Enfield in the leisure bike segment, there aren’t any direct big competitors in the same segment which should result in replacement demand making a comeback.

Limited competition

Royal Enfield does not have a significant competitor in the segment it operates in as most players are focused on premium sports bikes and not in the segment which Royal Enfield is present in. In India, Royal Enfield faces competition from Bajaj Auto’s Avenger, which sold around ~ 0.2mn bikes last year. As regards foreign players like Harley Davidson etc, they are present only in 500+cc segment with prices almost four to five times that of Royal Enfield’s entry segment bike because of low volume and higher import costs. Going forward, we don’t see any significant increase in the competitive scenario for Royal Enfield and even if existing players enter the segment, it will be difficult to beat the strong brand of Royal Enfield. With limited competition in future, we expect market share gains in future for Royal Enfield as capacity increases to 825,000 in FY18E.

It is also noteworthy that as premium segment bikes are costly, creating a brand is quite difficult just like in other segments of two-wheelers. For instance, Bajaj Auto recently launched its 400cc Dominar bike, which again is in the premium sports segment, but the model’s sales haven’t really met expectations. We believe Royal Enfield as a brand is difficult to beat and the growth momentum should continue.

Margins set to expand further

EML is one of the most profitable companies with its two-wheeler EBITDA margin in excess of 30%. 4QFY17 margin at 31.4% is among the highest ever as the company has been consistently improving margins YoY. In the past seven years, the company posted 2,100bps margin expansion from 10.0% to 31.3%. We expect the margins to expand further on the back of better economies of scale. We expect another 120bps margin expansion over FY18E/FY19E.

Advertisement spending continues to remain low, can support volume growth in future

Royal Enfield currently has the lowest advertisement spending in the domestic industry as it witnessed strong demand without any significant advertisement spending. Following a strong waiting period and continuous demand, it has not spent money on advertising but rather focused on organising various events like Rider Mania etc to get Royal Enfield customers together. Apart from this, the company also conducts various rides throughout India for Royal Enfield customers. Royal Enfield’s advertisement spending is only 0.6% of sales, while that of competitors is in excess of 2% of sales.

Consistent outperformance versus industry growth, expect market share gains

Over the past few years, EML has consistently outperformed the domestic two-wheeler industry’s growth as rising disposable income and segmental shift from entry executive to premium segment bikes resulted in Royal Enfield doing better than the industry. We expect Royal Enfield to continue with its growth momentum and report strong earnings growth in future.

Commercial vehicle business at inflection point

VECV has outperformed its peers in a tough operating environment and has captured incremental market share in the commercial vehicle (CV) space. The company’s investments in the truck and bus divisions and in introducing the Pro-series range of vehicles will help it expand its footprint in the CV segment. VECV has recently completed the development of its new 5000 Pro-series which will be launched in the coming year. The company has also started production of its upgraded Starline range which will also be launched during the year.

Stable 4QFY17 performance

Royal Enfield’s results for the March 2017 quarter showed a steady growth in sales on the back of 20% YoY growth in motorcycle volume, translating to 29% YoY growth in EBITDA. Operating margin at 31.4% remains among the highest levels registered by the company. The company’s domestic volume continued to retain healthy double-digit growth during the quarter while realisation grew YoY because of a price hike to pass on the BS-IV vehicle cost impact. Lower other income and a higher tax rate capped PAT margin at 22% versus 25% in 4QFY16.

Strong earnings growth over FY18E/FY19E

We believe that Royal Enfield’s ready brand acceptance in the two-wheeler space and its niche positioning in the cruise bike segment will help it sustain 20% volume CAGR over FY17-FY19E. In a departure from its own history of negligible new launches, the company has lined up a series of new bikes to be introduced over the next few years which will serve in strengthening its product portfolio and adding teeth to compete with larger rivals. EML has a debt-free balance sheet is generating strong free cash flow, which will continue over the next few years .We expect the company to post sales/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 24%/26%/25%, respectively, over FY17-FY19E and margins to remain resilient at over 30% level. Further, the company has been generating strong free cash flow over the past few years which is expected to remain strong over FY17-FY19 even after meeting capex requirement.
