Above-est. EBITDA margins at 14.3% (v/s est. 12.2%) on the back of lower
commodity cost
Volumes declined 8% YoY (up 6.3% QoQ), while realizations grew 4.6% YoY (down
2.7% QoQ) to ~INR549k (v/s est. ~INR540k)—driven by mix improvement. Net
revenue declined 3.9% YoY (up 3.4% QoQ) to INR94.3b (v/s est. INR92.8b). EBITDA
margin was up 330bp QoQ (down 20bp YoY) to 14.3% (v/s est. 12.2%), driven by
lower commodity cost and lower other expense. Auto segment PBIT margin
declined ~20bp YoY (up 150bp QoQ) to 10.3%. Tractor business PBIT margin was
up 60bp YoY (650bp QoQ) to 17.7%, highest since 3QFY11. Lower other income
and higher tax rate restricted adj. PAT to INR8.3b, down 7% YoY (up 49% QoQ).
Management commentary:
(a) It expects 5% growth in tractors for FY16, with
pressure continuing in 2QFY16 and 2HFY16 seeing volumes similar to 2HFY14
levels (implying ~35% growth in 2HFY16); b) in the automotive segment, inventory
has gone higher by one week compared with end of June (but has reduced by two
day days in July and the target is to reduce further by two days in August); c) TUV-
3OO would be launched in mid-September, and the company plans to launch S101
(crossover) in 2HFY16; d) in 1QFY16, there was a 1.8% YoY improvement in gross
margins (due to favorable mix and material cost benefit); e) recently launched SCV
Jeeto is targeted to do ~2,500 units/month; f) maintained guidance for capex of
~INR75b and investments of INR25b over three years.
Valuation and view:
We raise our standalone EPS estimates by 2.5%/2.7% for
FY16/FY17 on better-than-estimated margins, despite volume cut of 3.4% in FY16.
However, consolidated EPS of FY16/17 is cut by 4%/2%, impacted by estimate cut
for subsidiaries—particularly for Ssangong. The stock trades at 19.3x FY16E and
14.2x FY17E consolidated EPS. Valuations reflect structural challenges in both
businesses. Maintain
Neutral,
with FY17E-based SOTP target price of ~INR1,408.
