Below est.; Expect revival in 2H, Premium segment to outperform
BS6 cost inflation, discounts for liquidating BS4 stock hurt margins
TVSL’s operating performance was impacted by passing cost inflation in BS6
without the loading of margins as well as discounts offered on BS4 inventory
(60bp). The company expects volume recovery in 2HFY21 in both Domestic and
Exports, with the Premium portfolio expected to outperform.
We cut our FY20/21 EPS by 26%/8% to factor volume weakness. Maintain
Neutral
with TP of INR310 (~18x Mar’22 EPS + INR36 for NBFC).
4QFY20 revenue / EBITDA / adj. PAT declined 21%/21%/28% YoY to
~INR34.8b/INR0.9b/INR1.8b. FY20 revenues/EBITDA/PAT fell 10%/6%/8%.
Volumes declined ~30% YoY (-23% QoQ). Realizations grew ~13.7% YoY (+9.5%
QoQ) to INR55k (est.: INR52.1k), driven by passing BS6 cost.
Gross margins declined 280 QoQ (+160bp YoY) to 25% (est.: 27.7%), impacted
by discount of INR220m (~60bp) to liquidate BS4 inventory as well as passing
BS6 cost inflation without the loading of margins.
As a result, EBITDA margins declined 180bp QoQ (-10bp YoY) to 7% (est.: 8%)
due to reduced fixed cost. Adj. PAT declined 28% YoY (-45% QoQ) to ~INR1b
(est.: ~INR0.9b), supported by high other income (boosted by one-time interest
on income tax refund).
FY21 outlook:
The management is cautiously optimistic about recovery in
2HFY21. It expects premium products (Apache and Ntorq) to do better than
other segments. It expects TVSL to outperform the industry.
Status of operations:
Plants resumed manufacturing from 5
th
May, and
currently, over 70% of dealerships have re-started operations.
Price hike:
The company witnessed a price increase of 10–12% for a BS6-
related cost increase and took another ~1% price increase in Apr’20.
Financing:
It expects to increase retail finance penetration due to the BS6 price
hike and aid demand. Currently, 56% of Domestic 2W is financed, and TVS
Credit’s share is at 46%. Apart from TVS Credit, other major financiers for TVSL
are Sriram Capital, HDFC Bank, and Sundaram Finance.
Indonesian sub achieves positive operating PBT in 2HFY20:
FY20 volumes
grew ~31.6% (to ~53.6k) for 2Ws and 201% (to 8.1k) for 3Ws. FY20 EBITDA was
USD0.5m (v/s EBITDA loss of USD3m in FY19). 2HFY20 achieved positive
operating PBT.
Capex:
FY21 guidance is at ~INR3b (v/s ~INR7.2b in FY20). Investments, over
and above this, are yet to be finalized.
We cut our FY20/FY21 EPS by 26%/8% to INR8.5/INR15.2 to reflect weak
volumes in 1HFY21.
Valuations at 39.1x/21.9x FY21E/FY22E EPS are already reflecting a large part
of the earnings recovery. Maintain
Neutral
with TP of ~INR310.
