Improving Indian Economic Growth Scenario

After recording an average growth rate of 8% during FY08-FY12, Indian economic growth had slowed down to below 5% (with old 2004-05 base year) during the past two financial years. Prevailing high interest rate, stubborn inflation, low investments and slow execution of infrastructure projects were the leading factors, impacted country’s economy growth. However, Indian economy has shown signs of nascent recovery and grew by 5.5% during the first half (April-September) of FY15 as compared to 4.9% in the same period in FY14. Besides, key macro-economic indicators such as inflation, industrial production, CAD and infrastructure activity are also reviving, putting positive influence on economic growth. Industrial production during April-December FY15 grew by 2.1% as against 0.1% in the April-December FY14, indicating that the economy is far better position now from previous fiscal. Given the weak outlook for both oil and industrial commodities prices through 2015, the country's macroeconomic indicators are likely to strengthen further in coming months. Retail inflation at around 5% over the past few months has come at well below the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) medium term target of 6.0% by January 2016, strengthening the case for interest rate cut. Furthermore, improved consumers sentiments on the back of renewed policy thrust by new government, declining interest rate and a pickup in consumer demand are likely to provide impetus to economic growth in coming future. Indian economic growth is likely to improve to 5.5% in FY15 and further enhanced to 6-7% in FY16 and FY17. Though, India has become fastest growing economy in the world on the basis of new 2011-12 base year for GDP calculation. With the gradually growing domestic economy, per capita income of people in India has been growing at a pace of CAGR of 10% over the last eight years and is expected to grow at the same pace annually over the next ten years.

Revival in Economic Growth to provide Impetus to Automobile Sector

Automobile industry is highly correlated to economic scenario as vehicles demand is largely depended upon people disposable income. Industry revenue grows at 1.5-2.0x India’s GDP. India is currently the seventh-largest automobiles producer in the world with an average annual production of 17.5 million vehicles. Indian automobile industry is segregated into various segments include two wheelers, three wheelers, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. Two wheelers is the major segment of the industry accounts for around 77% of the total automobile production in India, while passenger vehicle segment stands at 2nd with 15% share. The automobile industry accounts for 22% of the country's manufacturing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is one of the biggest job creators sector, employs about 19 million people both directly and indirectly.

Over the past two fiscals, domestic automobile demand remained sluggish with the growth declining to around 2-4% from double digit growth recorded in past few fiscal. This gloomy performance was due to the cascading effect of low Indian economic growth, weak consumers’ sentiments, high inflation, increase in cost of vehicle ownership owing to the high vehicle financing rates and elevated fuel prices. Meanwhile, the present demand scenario in India has improved significantly in current fiscal driven by reviving economic condition. The growth in total vehicle sales has increased by 8% to 181 lakh units (vehicles) during the April-February FY15 from 167 lakh recorded in the same year ago period. Passenger vehicles sales number also increased to 23 lakh during April-February FY15, a growth of 4% over the corresponding period of previous fiscal.

With the increasing demand on back of rising income, favorable demographics include expanding middle class and young population base in addition to a large pool of skilled manpower and growing technology will propel India to be among the world's top five auto-producers by 2015. Indian automobile industry is described as the next sun rise sector of Indian economy on the back of focused growth drivers and appropriate planning for the sector. Government latest announcement in Budget 2015-16 like Rs.70,000 crore investment in infrastructure including construction of one lakh kilometres of new road will provide boost to automobile sector growth. According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the potential size of the Indian vehicle market (Passenger Vehicles + Commercial Vehicles) is likely to grow by a growth rate of 10% per year to around 4.5 million vehicles by FY18 from current size 3.13 million mainly driven by the increase in income levels and lifestyle aspirations.

Falling Crude Oil Prices, Interest Rate cut bring Cheer to Automobile Industry

Crude oil prices have declined significantly in past six months and are hovering at around $55/barrel after touching six -year low level at about $45/barrel in January due to ample global supplies and weak demand. Following the reduction in global oil prices, petrol price had been cut by Rs 17.11 per litre in ten reductions since August and diesel by Rs 12.96 a litre since its deregulation in October 2014. This trend was inverted when rates were raised in February due to marginal reversal in global crude oil prices but followed with further decline in fuel prices in April. According to Global research firms like Barclays and Goldman Sachs, global crude oil prices are likely to remain below $60/barrel for this year amid low global demand. Therefore, domestic industry is likely to witness a major margin boost in coming future as low diesel and petrol will increase the vehicles demand. Furthermore, industry players are also likely to take the benefit from easing of interest rate as more than 80% of the new cars sold in India are financed. In order to control the inflation, the RBI had maintained the key repo rate at 8% over the past 12 months. As the inflation has come within the central bank target range, it has started easing interest rate. It is expected that the RBI will further cut repo rate by upto 100 basis points in 2015, which could be proved as a big boost for Indian automobile industry.

Automotive Segment

In the automotive segment, the company manufactures four wheelers and three wheelers. Four wheelers segment is further divided into commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles segment. Last two fiscals remained worst year for the company as M&M sales declined significantly. The sales growth of M&M in the domestic market has declined by 9% to 434652 vehicles (units) in FY15 and 8% to 477,517 in FY14 as compared to 519013 in FY13. Economic slowdown coupled with the high interest rate and inflation had impacted the vehicle demand in the domestic market. Exports too have remained sluggish with a marginal growth of 2% to 30196 vehicles in FY15 due the prevailing economic downturn in global countries. Overall, automotive segment of the company witnessed a contraction of 8.3% in sales growth to 464848 vehicles as compared to 507,176 vehicles sold in the previous year.

PV, CV Volume and Growth Trend

The utility vehicles segment, which the Mahindra have dominant position in the Indian industry is continued to remain under pressure and market share of the segment is falling drastically. UV market share of the company has declined to 37.4% in Q3FY15 against 50% share in Q1FY13. Low demand in the market, the absence of new models and stiff completion from Compact SUV’s are the leading factors impacting M&M UVs sales. Furthermore, diesel petrol price parity as prices between these fuels is narrowing also shift the consumer preference towards the petrol prices models. On the other hand, most of the M&M UVs models are diesel based.

Expects Strong Recovery in UVs sales driven by Planned New Compact SUVs Launches

However, we believe that that the market share of the company is likely to improve gradually in coming future as the company has planned to launch two compact sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in FY16 with both petrol and diesel engines variants. Meanwhile, M&M cleared that new products would have a higher break-even point due to higher average development cost of around Rs. 10 billion for each of the newer models and likely lower prices of compact UVs than M&M’s current UVs products. Therefore, the break even volume of new models would be higher than 3,000 units/month for XUV500. The demand of existing leading brands of the company like Bolero, Scorpio and XUV500 has revived in last three month of previous year. The newly launched Scorpio model has clocked highest Q3 volume in three years and Bolero is also likely to cross 1 lakhs sales in 2015 for the third consecutive years. Overall, we believe that utility vehicle sale (in units) is likely to improve to around 15% in FY16 and FY17 as compared to expected contraction of around 12% in the FY15. Three wheelers segment is also expected to revive to around 5% growth in FY16E and FY17E. Finally, passenger vehicles volume is expected to grow at average annual growth of 15% to 280168 units in FY17E from 210,021 units recorded in FY15.

Contrary to the passenger vehicles, commercial vehicle segment of the company is doing well witnessing gradually expansion. In the previous fiscal, commercial vehicles segment grew by 10.2% to 167867 vehicles as compared to 152398 vehicles in FY14 even in the subdued market. The share of Mahindra Truck and Bus Division (MTB) is continued to rise in the domestic automotive market. M&M truck share has increased to around 2.7% in the FY15 as compared to 2.2% in the year ago period. Furthermore, in Budget 2015-16, custom duty on import of completely built unit of commercial vehicles increased to 20% from 10%. The government’s latest move will boost domestic CV segment revenue by making Indian brands more competitive. Given the likely improvement in country infrastructure on the back new government recently taken initiative as well as the recovery in domestic economy, CV segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% during projected period.

Farm Equipment Segment

Mahindra has leadership position in Indian tractor industry with a market share of around 40%. With the brand like Arjun and Swaraj tractors, M&M has been dominating the domestic tractor market from the last 31 years. The sale of tractors grew at a CAGR of 11% to 268487 units in FY14 from 175196 in FY10. M&M with a growth of 21.5% in FYI14 to 2,58,339 tractors also outperformed the domestic tractor industry which recorded a growth of 20.2% to 6,33,656 tractors. However, during the current fiscal the segment remained under pressure, given the poor performance of the Indian Agriculture sector. The agriculture sector output was contracted by 0.4% in Q3FY15 as compared to around 4% recorded in the same quarter of previous fiscal due to the below normal monsoon this year impacted kharif crops output. In line with the sector growth, M&M tractor sales also declined by 12.8% to 234023 units during FY15 as against 268487 units sales recorded in the previous fiscal, a largest annual decline over the decade.

Tractor Volume to improve in FY16E, FY17E

The situation is not likely to improve soon as the unseasonable rain during March in country’s crucial crops producing region is likely to impact Rabi production as well as the farmers incomes. However, there is high probability that the monsoon in current will remain normal which will recover the demand going forward. Despite some short term disruptions, industry is of the view that tractor demand in domestic market continue to grow till 2023, afterwards it will start reducing. Tractors demand generates from rural India and distribution is the key to rural marketing. Over the few past years, M&M has formed a strong distribution network with 2,500 sales and service centers across the country including 1,000 dealerships which it attained through the acquisition of Punjab Tractors, which manufactures Swaraj tractors. Furthermore, M&M has new launched in coming years like tractor Dhurv by the end of 2016, one more new vehicle in 2017 and few more offering from Swaraj Division in next 12 months. On policy front, the Government has given more emphasis on rural economy and proposed Rs.25000 crore in Budget 2015-16 for rural development, which in turn will boost tractors demand. We expect that tractor units turnover will grew at an annual growth rate of 5% to 256782 units in FY17E.

Sales Volume likely to witness Firm Recovery during FY16E, FY17E

In line with the industry trend, the revenue growth of M&M remained flat at 0.2% YoY to Rs. 40,508 crore in FY14 due to economic slowdown and persistent high interest rates in order to check rising inflation. Sales volume did not show any sign of revival even in this fiscal as sales of the company during 9MFY15 declined by 0.5% YoY to Rs. 28980 crore as against the double digit growth in the previous three fiscals. Though revenue is expect to remain 6% lower in FY15E at Rs. 38008 crore, we expects a strong recovery in sales volume going forward. Improving economic conditions coupled with the declining interest rate scenario and the company new launches in auto and farm segment is likely to provide impetus to the sales volume growth. Net sale is projected to grow at 13.2% and 14.6% on YoY basis in FY16E and FY17E. Net Realization per unit is expected to increase 4% during the projected period as against 0% in FY14% as high excise duty to increase vehicles prices.

Easing Raw Material Prices Improving Margins

Among total operating expenditure, raw material expenditure accounts for around 80% of the total operating expenditure. Raw material cost as a percentage of net sales declined to 73% in FY14 from 75% in the previous fiscal due to benign commodity prices. Furthermore, better mix and continued cost reduction initiatives undertaken by the Company also helped to check the cost. During 9MFY15, raw material cost declined by 3% YoY improving the EBIDTA margin of the company. Commodity prices are likely to remain soft in coming future, given the subdued global demand. Therefore, raw material cost is expected to increase at a CAGR of 7.4% during forecasted period as compared to a CAGR of 11% during FY12-FY14. Accordingly, EBIDTA margin of the company will improve to 12.1% in FY17E from 11.7% in FY14 as M&M continues with its rigorous cost restructuring exercises and efficiency improvements.

In spite of flat sales growth during FY14, net profit of M&M grew by 12% YoY to Rs. 3758.4 crore on the back of significant performance on cost control front. However, the profit declined marginally by 3% to 2770.6 during 9MFY15 as compared to 2861.5 in 9MFY15 mainly impacted by high advertisement, selling expenses amid subdued demand. With the recovery in economic situation, financial condition of the company is expected to improve going forward.

Low debt/equity to Fuel Expansion

M&M’s has strong balance sheet with minimal debt (D/E of 0.3:1). Thus any expansion plan will not put any stress to the balance sheet and in turn will further strengthen the company’s position in the domestic automobile industry. Though, the company follows a judicious financial policy and aims not to surpass an optimum financial gearing at any time. M&M maintains highest credit rating for both long and short-term debt (CRISIL-Long Term Banking facilities at “AA+/Stable”, ICRA- Long Term Rating at “AAA+ (stable)” and CARE- “AA+”) which in turn is helping firm to attract the best proposals from lending agencies at fine pricing levels to finance its future growth plans. At the same time, M&M continued to focus on handling cash efficiently to maintain adequate liquidity as the economy is facing tight liquidity conditions with interest rates remaining high mainly to contain inflationary pressures.

Valuation

We believe that revival in Indian economic growth, favorable demographics include expanding middle class, improving infrastructure and rising income of people and lifestyle aspirations will propel the vehicles demand in the country. To value M&M stock, we conducted fundamental analysis using the Economy-Industry-Company (E-I-C) framework and used the Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuation method. Core business is valued at 9.65x FY17E EV/EBIDTA stands at Rs.963 and subsidiaries at a 25% discount to CMP at Rs.456. On the basis of SOTP Valuation, we arrive at Potential Price of Rs.1419 for a period of 10-12 months. With the double digit potential upside, we have a ‘BUY’ recommendation on the stock.

Issues and Concerns

Economic Uncertainties: Automobile industry is highly correlated to the economic growth as rising disposable income strengthen the vehicle demand. Though, Indian economy growth has shown sign of rebounding with inflation declining to around 5%. However, interest rate in economy is still hovering double digit mark, gripped the sector’s growth. Likelihood of reversal in inflation and crude oil prices in coming future and high interest rate can impact the economy as well as the sector growth.

Losing Market Share in UV Segment: M&M hold leadership position in Utility Vehicles (UVs) segment and loosing share in this segment could be a big concern for the company. Although, the domestic UV segment has witnessed a slowdown in volume growth, M&M has underperformed the industry and lost market share due to the increase in competitive intensity. We expect M&M’s UV volumes to recover over FY16E-17E on the back of improving economic situation as well as the new launched of M&M going ahead. However, persistent slowdown in the segment or a loss of significant market share could have a negative impact on our revenue and earnings estimates.

Failure of New UV Model Launches: With the declining price difference between diesel and petrol prices, consumer preference is shifting towards compact UV petrol version. However, M&M is mainly having diesel version of UVs. With a view to capture lost market share, the company announced new compact UV model launches with both diesel and petrol version and accordingly we forecasts M&M to claw back its market share. A below-than-expected volume rate of its new launches will pose downside risk to growth prospect of the company.

Sluggish Agriculture Sector impacting Tractor Volumes: Tractor industry volume has declined considerably during FY15 mainly owing to the poor performance of the agriculture sector. Tractor sale of M&M declined by 12.8% YoY to 234023 units during FY15, a largest annual decline over the decade and was higher than the company anticipated. We forecasts that tractors volumes to normalize over FY16E-17E, subject to normal monsoon. Below normal monsoon with unseasonably rains like in February, March 2015 could damage crops production and rural cash flow and thus is a risk to our estimates.
