The CV tyre space is clearly witnessing a secular radialisation trend with the share of radial tyres in the CV segment rising from 4% in FY07 to 44% in FY16. Penetration in truck & bus radial tyres in the OEM space is 72% while in the replacement segment it is 33%. It enjoys leadership position in M&HCV truck bus radial (TBR) segment with market share >30% while in the passenger car radial (PCR) segment its share is >12%. The management is focusing on the radial segment and has expanded its TBR capacity from 4 lakh tyres to 12 lakh per annum (pa) and PCR capacity from 30 lakh pa to 45 lakh tyres pa. Its existing truck bus bias (TBB) segment (~40% of capacity) would be shifting to other segments and exports market. JKTIL’s overall product mix in terms of radial: bias tyre has changed significantly from ~33:66 in FY13 to ~66:33 in H2FY17. Thus, the radialisation story remains intact for JKTIL. Higher input cost + other expense = results into lower margins! EBITDA margins of Q3FY17 contracted 242 bps YoY & 570 bps QoQ to 14.4%. This was mainly due to higher input cost (gross margins down 104 bps YoY & 440 bps QoQ) & higher other expense (up 188 bps YoY & 146 bps QoQ). We believe the volatility in NR prices will have a negative impact on margins. However, JKTIL is likely to pass on most of the rise in input cost to consumers going forward. Further, a better product mix (higher share of radial tyres) will also support margins. Thus, we expect margins to be 16.5% & 16.3% for FY18E & FY19E respectively. Growth to revive; maintain BUY! The expectation of a revival in the capex cycle makes us optimistic about the revenue/earnings growth possibilities. Its plans to explore the 2-W space and the new radial capacity would drive incremental growth, going forward. The domestic tyre industry indirectly benefited from demonetisation, as dealing in Chinese tyres was largely cash based in nature & was impacted. Any positive development on part of the government in terms of restricting import of Chinese tyres, going forward, will benefit JKTIL. Thus, we value JKTIL at 4x FY19E EV/EBITDA.

Company Analysis Demand revival to drive revenue growth

JKTIL’s revenues largely comprise the domestic (Indian) operation, which accounts for ~86% of revenue while the remaining 14% comes from its Mexican subsidiary Tornel. Further, the customer wise revenue mix is OEM: replacement: export at 33%: 57%: 10%, respectively. Segment wise, CV & PV tyres account for 74% & 21% of its overall revenue, respectively, while 5% is contributed by other segments. Product wise radial: bias mix is at 66:33, respectively. The company faced headwinds in terms of revenue growth in the past two years (FY15 & FY16), mainly on account of a slowdown in demand environment and stiff competition from Chinese tyres. The capacity constraint on the radial side of the truck and bus segment, to some extent, had restricted growth in the rising trend of radialisation in India. However, the company has completed the expansion of its new capacity at its Chennai plant in addition to its leadership position in the TBR segment that is likely to drive its growth, going forward. The company has also created a slightly lower quality brand, which competes well against imported cheaper Chinese tyres. Apart from its regular quality tyres, JKTIL has launched the Challenger brand in the TBB segment. The company is soon going to launch in the TBR segment, which marginally compromises the quality and easily competes against Chinese tyres on the pricing front. The acquisition of Cavendish Industries (CIL) has taken the overall capacity (including Mexico) to ~35 million tyres per annum, with nine plants in India and three in Mexico and is all set to cater to the rising industry demand. Thus, we believe JKTIL will be witnessing volume driven revenue CAGR of ~10% CAGR in FY16-19E. Exhibit 1: Revenue growth likely to recover!

EBITDA margins to remain >16%! Natural rubber (NR) prices declined to <| 100/kg in Q4FY16 from highs of ~| 250/kg. NR accounts for ~40% of total raw material costs, thus swinging gross, operating margins. Crude prices have also fallen significantly, resulting in lower prices of its derivatives (carbon black, synthetic rubber, fabric) that are key materials for companies. This has led to an increase in profitability for the overall industry. Tyre manufacturers in India have passed on bare minimum of these benefits to consumers in the past, thus resulting in elevated margins for companies. JKTIL posted highest ever margins for Q2FY17, which was at 20.1% mainly attributable to lower input cost, better product mix and due to favourable impact of operating leverage as radial capacity utilisation levels are >90%. However, NR prices have been volatile in the last year and are largely inching northwards (currently at ~| 160/kg). The impact of higher NR prices impacted Q3FY17 EBITDA margins, which declined 242 bps YoY & 570 bps QoQ to 14.4%. Apart from NR prices, crude prices have also moved up in the recent past. This would further create pressure on tyre manufacturers. However, JKTIL is likely to pass on most of the rise in input cost to consumers, going forward. Further, a better product mix (higher share of radial tyres) will also support margins. Thus, we expect margins to be 16.5% & 16.3% for FY18E & FY19E respectively.

Moderation in margins to impact profitability JKTIL’s FY17 profits look muted mainly due to higher depreciation charges of the newly acquired CIL. A gradual improvement in the demand environment was further offset by modest de-growth in margins that will impact the overall profitability. We expect profits to increase at ~11% CAGR in FY16-19E to | 660 crore. Subsequently, PAT margins are likely to touch ~7%, going forward.

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8

Outlook & valuation The CV tyre segment is clearly witnessing a secular radialisation trend with the share of radial tyres in the CV segment increasing from 4% in FY07 to 44% in FY16. Penetration of truck & bus radial tyres in the OEM segment is 72% while the replacement segment radialisation was at 33% in FY16. JK Tyres’ market share in India in the M&HCV TBR segment is >30% while it is >12% in the passenger car radial segment. Going forward, as radialisation in the truck and bus segment increases rapidly, we believe JK Tyres would be a major beneficiary leading to higher capacity utilisation levels in the TBR space. With the expectation of a revival in capex cycle, we are optimistic about the revenue/earnings growth possibilities for JKTIL – the leader and pioneer in the TBR segment. The capacity constraint in the TBR segment is largely over as the new capacity is already in place and the new CIL acquisition has further provided additional capacity of 1.2 million tyres/per annum. Any positive development on part of the government in terms of restricting imports of Chinese tyres, going forward, will benefit JKTIL. Thus, we value JKTIL at 4x FY19E EV/EBITDA to arrive at a target of | 145. We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock. Exhibit 11: Valuations
