The Industry: Overview

The Forging Industry is a key link between critical manufacturing segments - metal suppliers (both

ferrous and nonferrous) and end user industries. The Auto Components segment comprises of products primarily demanded by the Automobile

segment. In terms of production of auto components, engine & engine parts alone account for 31% of the production value of auto components, while engine & engine parts and Transmission & steering parts together account for about 50% of the same.

The forging industry is composed of those plants that; a) make parts to order for customers (referred to as custom forgings); b) make parts for their own company's internal use (referred to as captive forgings); or c) make standard parts for resale (referred to as catalog forgings).

Forging is a cost-effective way to produce net-shape or near-net-shape components. Forged components are commonly found at points of shock and stress such as wheel spindles, kingpins, axle beams and shafts, torsion bars, ball studs, idler arms, pitman arms and steering arms.

Forgings are used in high performance, high strength, and high reliability applications where tension, stress, load, and human safety are critical considerations.

Investment Rationale:

Global Alliance leading to efficiency gains:

Mahindra Group (M&M), India and CIE Automotive (CIE), Spain are entering into a global alliance

which is a multi-structured deal forming a global automotive component supply network.

Initially the company requires regulatory approvals from the Competition Commission of India and

Bundeskartelamt, Germany (Anti-Trust Authority). Further the company will apply for SEBI

Clearance intended for the Letter of Offer (Open Offer), High Court approval & Shareholders’

approval for the merger. The deal is expected to be complete in 12-15 months after getting

regulatory approvals in India and other countries.

Competition Commission of India (CCI) has given its approval to Mahindra-CIE deal monitoring that

the merger will not have an adverse effect in the Indian auto-component manufacturing business.

CCI has also examined that CIE Group has no presence in the auto-component business in India and

that the technologies currently being used by the Mahindra Systech firms would continue to be

utilized after deal comes into effect.

Step by Step proposed business transaction:

CIE’s Brazilian listed company Autometal will acquire control in M&M’s component business i.e.

Mahindra Forgings, Mahindra Composites & Mahindra Hinoday by holding stake in these firms for a

total consideration of Rs.6.74bn. These companies will come under Autometal’s Participaciones

Internacionales Autometal 2 (PIA2).

Mahindra will consolidate all its component businesses creating “One Systech” which will be

operated under one roof. Mahindra Forgings will carry out merger with Mahindra Composites,

Mahindra Ugine Steel, Mahindra Hinoday, Mahindra Investments (India) Mahindra Gears

International and CIE European Forgings (Spain & Lithuania) renaming as Mahindra CIE Automotive.

CIE Automotive will invest $116mn taking a majority stake of 51% in Mahindra CIE a single listed

entity in India which will continue to operate the current Systech automotive component

businesses globally. M&M continues to be a strategic investor and will have a 20% stake in

Mahindra CIE Automotive. The rest will be held by institutional and public shareholders.

Simultaneously, the Mahindra Group will invest Euro94.24mn for a 13.5% stake in CIE Automotive,

listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange making it the second largest shareholder in CIE. M&M will

nominate 2 Directors to the CIE Board.

For Mahindra’s 13.5% stake, CIE will sell 9.44% of its shares (currently treasury stocks) at Euro 6.0/share. Also M&M Group will subscribe for 4.6% (fully diluted basis) of equity share capital of CIE at Euro 6.0/share.

Synergies Mahindra CIE Automotive:

“One Systech” will prove integration capacity, improvement in the margins of the integrated

companies and create value for shareholders. Mahindra has grown from being a big player to

become one of the top 25 auto components companies in the world through several strategic

acquisitions.

Mahindra’s auto component business (Mahindra Systech) has operations spread in India, UK, Italy

and Germany together posting a turnover of Rs.40bn in FY13. CIE’s European Forging business with

operations in Spain & Lithuania posted a turnover of Euro150 mn.

The merger of Mahindra and CIE are both complementary in nature to each other, one is on the

product and the other is geography. This enhances Mahindra’s positioning in product and

geographic diversification. The new company results in a major forging group with a global

footprint by integrating Mahindra Forgings and also CIE Forging assets.

Mahindra CIE Automotive’s operational performance expected to improve with synergy;

particularly in Europe as both the companyies have significant presence in Europe. Forgings in

Europe is largely complementary as CIE serves car markets while Systech serves CV market. Systech

manufactures gears while CIE machines other components.

The alliance results in a variety of products and technology portfolio including metal castings,

plastic parts, stampings, gears and other precision machined parts, composite parts, painted

elements, and roof systems, etc. and continuously upgrading operational requirements.

Through the Systech’s portfolio, Mahindra CIE will have a high capacity for producing automotive

forgings, in India, Germany, and England. Through the CIE Automotive assets, it will have forging

operations in Brazil, Mexico, Lithuania, and Spain.

Financial to improve in coming years:

Top line to remain constant over a period of time:

MFL derives 82% of the revenue from its foreign subsidiaries (MFE), while domestic market

contributes 18%.

The company has registered negative growth of 9% to Rs.22164.01mn in FY13 y-o-y basis, due to

bad economic conditions in Europe.

Further, the order book of MFL is going to remain flat for FY14E and FY15E. However the rupee

depreciation effect can be seen in the financial of MFL.

We expect the company to report net sales of Rs. 25694.88 mn in FY14E and Rs. 26587.94 mn in

FY15E.

EBITDA Margin expected to improve due to operating efficiencies:

Consolidated EBITDA margin was around 2% in FY13, due to unplanned increase in the employee

cost in the European subsidiaries.

MFL is focusing on increasing its operating efficiencies by lowering its cost, improvement in raw

material utilization to reduce consumption of steel in forgings, therefore, saving in the heating cost.

Improvement in furnace efficiency and optimizing operating parameters.

We expect EBITDA margins to increase to 8% in FY14E due to better operating efficiency.

Improvement in return ratios

MFL’s improvement in operating efficiency will lead to improvement in return ratios in FY14E &

FY15E.

Key concerns:

Demand of the auto component segment is primarily linked to the growth of the automobile

segment which seems flat in the current situations. The domestic forging industry is trying to

minimize their dependency on the auto sector by diversifying into non-automotive segments.

The wages of permanent workers in Germany have increased by 11.7% between Jan’09 and

May’12 and are expected to increase further by 3% in this fiscal year.

Germany is moving away from the cheaper nuclear power plants to costlier renewable energy

options which will lead to an increase in the power cost of MFE.

Currency volatility may impact the topline as 82% of MFL’s revenues come from MFE. The

average rupee has depreciated by 13.6% in FY13 vs FY12.

Valuations: We expect MFL to report moderate revenue and healthy margins on the back of operating

efficiency. The global alliance in the component business will lead to a multi- technology

company.

On a P/BV basis, MFL is trading between the range of 0.5x & 0.75x in the past two years.

At the CMP of Rs.64.7, stock is trading at a P/BV of 0.75 & 0.70 in FY14E and FY15E

respectively.

We recommend BUY on the stock with a target of Rs.82 at the P/BV of 0.90x on FY15E book

value over the period of 15 months as we expect improved financial visibility will lead to

enhanced discounting.
