November 9, 2015 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update “Royal” quarterly show continues Eicher Motors (EML) again reported a strong operational performance in Q3FY16 with revenues growing 37.3% YoY, 7.1% QoQ to | 3123 crore. Although revenues were below our estimates on account of lower revenues from medium duty engines (MDE) business, EBITDA margins of 15.8% (up 236 bps YoY, 98 bps QoQ) came above our estimates of 15.6% The Royal Enfield (RE) business (standalone) reported net revenues of | 1301 crore (up 58.5% YoY, 18.6% QoQ), below our estimates of | 1314 crore, mainly due to lower than estimated ASPs. RE volumes for Q3FY16 were at 127611, up 51.5% YoY The RE (standalone) business margins expanded 272 bps YoY, 129 bps QoQ to 27.7% (our estimate 26.9%) mainly due to commodity price & operating leverage benefit. The VECV (CV business) business margins of 7.3% (up 34 bps YoY, down 54 bps QoQ) came below our estimates of 7.8% on account of a poor product mix Consequently the PAT (before MI) was at | 286 crore against our estimate of | 266 crore. Reported PAT (after MI) grew 54.8% YoY, 15.2% QoQ to | 255 crore RE ramping up; exponential growth expected to stabilise in FY17 RE 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. Given this situation of demand outstripping supply, the board has given an in-principle approval for setting up a third plant at Vallam Vadagal, which will take the total capacity to 900,000 units in CY18. Although the management has slightly cut down its CY15 (exit rate at ~48,000 units per month; earlier estimate ~50,000 per month) units & CY16 production estimates (annual capacity of~620,000 units; our estimate- ~650,000 units), the fact that the company has begun planning its third plant before Oragadam hits its full planned capacity, is an indicator of the managements confidence on the future demand prospects of its products. CV business to grow inline with industry growth 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.

Key conference call takeaways • Eicher Motor’s standalone business (Royal Enfield), for Q3FY16,

revenue grew 58.5% YoY to | 1,301 crore (volume growth of 52% YoY to 127,611 units). EBITDA margins came in at 27.7%. PAT grew by 62% YoY to | 228.5 crore

• Motorcycle capacity is likely to increase to ~48,000 units per month

by December 2015 (earlier estimate - ~50,000 units per month) from the current capacity of 45,000 units. The management has guided for a production capacity of 620,000 units in CY16 (we were building in a capacity of ~650,000 units)

• The company board has given an in-principle approval for setting up

a third plant at Vallam Vadagal (10 km from Oragadam), which will enhance the production capacity to ~900,000 in CY18

• The company is working on two new platforms, of which one will be

launched in CY16 and the other in CY17 • The dealer network is likely to be expanded from 400 dealers in CY14

to 500 dealers in CY15E and to 550 dealers in CY16E • The waiting period has reduced from four to five months to one to

four months (due to increase in capacity). However, new orders still outpace the production run rate every month

• The top 20 cities contribute nearly ~60% of RE volume sales. Existing

stores in these cities are witnessing growth of 15-20% YoY • In the 5-14 tonne segment, the company has been growing slower

than the industry • In VECV, tax benefits related to R&D expenditure will lead to tax rate

below 20% • Engine volumes grew 27% YoY to 4,800 • Eicher - Polaris joint venture (JV) started production of personal utility

vehicle “Multix”. The company has sold 231 units till October. The product is currently available in seven states across 31 locations

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). Thus, we 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 nineties 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 (~6.2 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 remain meaningful 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). VECV 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 ~8.9% in FY17E, on the back of a better product mix and 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 ~35% CAGR in CY14-FY17E while PAT is likely to grow at ~55% CAGR in CY14-FY17E as margins improve from 13% in CY14 to 16.7% 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 a 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 ~2.5x. 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 32xFY17E EPS for RE, VECV at 10x 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 domestic CV manufacturers average multiple at 10x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively, to arrive at an SOTP target price of | 19,000. We have a BUY recommendation on the stock.
