Phaltan plant visit updates
Re enforces our positive view
We visited the Phaltan based mega site of KKC. Our visit re enforces our
positive stance on the stock as we saw several growth triggers firmly in
place. Ramp up in LHP business is expected to support export growth from
Indian operations to Cummins Inc's global supply chain. Demand for spare
parts is expected to increase once the engine utilisation increases, which is
currently lower due to lower business confidence. ReCon & Rebuild
operations are expected to get a boost once the engines are despatched at
higher prices post June, 2014 as revised emission norms are implemented.
LHP business ramp underway:
LHP business of CIL is dedicated for
manufacturing of X, S & B series engines having an installed capacity to
assemble 23,000 engines per annum. LHP business's second assembly line
has become operational in last month and products from this facility are
exported to Cummins global supply chain operational in Middle East, Africa
and Latin America.
ReCon & Rebuild centre to support engine reconditioning business:
Recon &
Rebuild unit in Phaltan is of the 17 engine rebuild centers existing across
Cummins Inc's global base of operations. Recon & Rebuild plant has an
installed capacity to rebuild 60 engines per month. We believe, Recon &
Rebuild business of the company could be the major gainer, once the revised
CPCB norms are applied, which would result in higher engine prices of new
engines. Widening gap between the Rebuild engine and new engine, could
work well for customers looking for gen set, strictly for power back up rather
than prime usage.
Valuation:
At the CMP of INR 546, KKC trades 21.8 / 17.7x its FY15E / FY16E EPS
of INR 25 / 30.8. We believe, KKC has seeded multiple growth levers to
maximize the possible gains once the demand revives and the plant visit to
Phaltan only re-enforces our view with greater clarity. (Growth levers
discussed in detail in our report titled - "Cummins India - Seeding new growth
levers" released on 11th Feb, 2014) do let us know if you need a copy of the
same.
