VECV drags consolidated operating performance
Consolidated operating performance was below estimate due to weak performance
of VECV despite strong Royal Enfield (RE) performance. Consolidated EBITDA
margins at 14.3% (v/s est. 15%) improved 110bpb QoQ (+280bp YoY). Higher-than-
expected other income of INR337m (v/s est. INR259m) resulted in in-line PAT of
INR1.95b, a growth of 40% YoY (27% QoQ).
n
Royal Enfield performance in line with estimate:
Net realization grew by 4.7%
YoY (~3.7% QoQ), driving EBITDA margin expansion of ~250bp QoQ (+300bp
YoY) to 26.1% (v/s est. 25.5%). Lower-than-estimated other income restricted
PAT to INR2.1b (v/s est. ~INR2.26b), a growth of 33% YoY.
n
VECV’s weak realization and higher other expenses impact EBITDA margin:
VECV’s realizations declined by ~5.3% QoQ (+13.7 YoY) to ~INR1.47m (v/s est.
~INR1.5m). Further, higher other expenses restricted EBITDA margins to ~7.1%
(v/s est. ~9.2%), expanding by 130bp YoY (+20bp QoQ). Higher tax impacted
PAT, which stood at ~INR436m (v/s est. ~INR868m)—a 20% YoY growth.
n
Earnings call highlights:
a) RE waiting period of 4-5 months, b) it has already
converted over 150 dealers (of the existing ~400 dealers) to the new retail
format, and all stores (over 500 dealership) would be on the new retail format
by the end of CY15, c) Oragadam Phase-2 is expected to start from July 2015,
with paint shop and associated assembly line by the end of 3QCY15, and d) it
shipped ~3900 engines/long blocks under MDEP (up 50% YoY/QoQ).
n
Valuation and view:
We lower our CY15E/16E EPS by 7.1%/4.9% to
~INR385/662, respectively, to factor in for a) lower VECV volume, realizations,
higher depreciation and tax, and b) RE’s higher realization. EIM trades at
41x/23.8x CY15E/16E EPS. Maintain

with a target price of INR18,211 (CY16E
