The reason is same – aggressive competition. Additionally, we believe that reasons like a) Pulling out of diesel segment (~16% of company’s sales in FY20) and b) weak product portfolio in the growing SUV segment, will make it difficult to recover. Hence, we expect Maruti to continue to lose share if it doesn’t address the above issues specially when there is a storm of new launches coming in the UV segment. In FY21-23E period, over a low base, we expect a strong volume led recovery. We acknowledge that company has a track record of launching blockbuster products and has the best network in the country, but with multiple challenges we refrain from giving a premium valuation. We arrive at a target price of Rs 6,926 by giving a multiple of 25x (10 yr average) to our FY23E EPS of Rs 277. It is currently trading at 24x FY23E eps. Maruti’s launch pipeline has been no match to the competition Over the last 3 years, there has been almost 35 new models launched in the PV industry out of which 4 were from Maruti, quite low from a market leader perspective. Also, 75% of these new launched were in the UV segment whereas from Maruti there were only 2 UVs. Going forward we are expecting 20+ launches in FY22 in the UV segment itself, while only 3 from Maruti. This is a recipe for market share loss. Double whammy- UVs and diesel UV penetration in PVs has reached to 39% in FY21 from 12.6%, 10 years ago. A trend seen globally as well. There is a slew of launches coming in this segment in the near term which will take the penetration even further. On the other hand, Maruti’s market share in the segment has declined from 28% in FY19 to 21.6% in FY21 owing to weak product portfolio. Also, Diesel remains a significant choice in the UV segment (ex-Maruti) with more than 45% of share. In this situation, the odds are against the company since it has pulled out of the diesel segment. Adverse mix and High commodity prices are key overhang on margins We expect a 17% volume CAGR for FY21-23E on a low base. We expect ASP decline in FY21 due to adverse mix and then a 1.5%/1% YoY growth in FY22/FY23E. We expect margins to improve due to operating leverage to 9.3%/11%. PAT growth est. for the period is 36% CAGR. Our RM index suggests that costs have sequentially increased by 8%/20%/16% in last three quarters of FY21. The full effect of this will be felt in 4QFY21 and 1HFY22 in the form of lower margins with limited pass on opportunity. Fairly valued Owing to pressure on market share and margins, we restrict the target one year forward PER multiple to its 10 yr average of 25x. Using this on our FY23E EPS of Rs277, we arrive at our target price of Rs6,926 and we assume coverage with REDUCE rating. Stock is currently trading at 24x FY23E earnings.

Financial and valuation summary

We are not comfortable with Maruti losing 330bps of market share in last 1 year as it reminds us of the FY12’s loss of 680bps. The reason is same – aggressive competition. Additionally, we believe that reasons like a) Pulling out of diesel segment (~16% of company’s sales in FY20) and b) weak product portfolio in the growing SUV segment, will make it difficult to recover. Hence, we expect Maruti to continue to lose share if it doesn’t address the above issues specially when there is a storm of new launches coming in the UV segment. In FY21-23E period, over a low base, we expect a strong volume led recovery. We acknowledge that company has a track record of launching blockbuster products and has the best network in the country, but with multiple challenges we refrain from giving a premium valuation. We arrive at a target price of Rs 6,926 by giving a multiple of 25x (10 yr average) to our FY23E EPS of Rs 277. It is currently trading at 24x FY23E eps.

Maruti’s launch pipeline has been no match to the competition Over the last 3 years, there has been almost 35 new models launched in the PV industry out of which 4 were from Maruti, quite low from a market leader perspective. Also, 75% of these new launched were in the UV segment whereas from Maruti there were only 2 UVs. Going forward we are expecting 20+ launches in FY22 in the UV segment itself, while only 3 from Maruti. This is a recipe for market share loss.

Double whammy- UVs and diesel UV penetration in PVs has reached to 39% in FY21 from 12.6%, 10 years ago. A trend seen globally as well. There is a slew of launches coming in this segment in the near term which will take the penetration even further. On the other hand, Maruti’s market share in the segment has declined from 28% in FY19 to 21.6% in FY21 owing to weak product portfolio. Also, Diesel remains a significant choice in the UV segment (ex-Maruti) with more than 45% of share. In this situation, the odds are against the company since it has pulled out of the diesel segment.

Adverse mix and High commodity prices are key overhang on margins We expect a 17% volume CAGR for FY21-23E on a low base. We expect ASP decline in FY21 due to adverse mix and then a 1.5%/1% YoY growth in FY22/FY23E. We expect margins to improve due to operating leverage to 9.3%/11%. PAT growth est. for the period is 36% CAGR. Our RM index suggests that costs have sequentially increased by 8%/20%/16% in last three quarters of FY21. The full effect of this will be felt in 4QFY21 and 1HFY22 in the form of lower margins with limited pass on opportunity.

Fairly valued Owing to pressure on market share and margins, we restrict the target one year forward PER multiple to its 10 yr average of 25x. Using this on our FY23E EPS of Rs277, we arrive at our target price of Rs6,926 and we assume coverage with REDUCE rating. Stock is currently trading at 24x FY23E earnings.

We acknowledge that company has a track record of launching blockbuster products and has the best network in the country, but with multiple challenges we refrain from giving a premium valuation. Hence we value the stock at its 10 year average PER multiple of 25x as compared to a higher 33x multiple in the last 5 years. We arrive at a target price of Rs 6,926 by giving a multiple of 25x (10 yr. average) to our FY23E EPS of Rs 277. It is currently trading at 24x FY23E earnings.

Why is Maruti losing market share? Over the last 2 years, Maruti has lost 350bps of market share in the PV segment from the highs of 51.2% in FY19. Out of that 330 was lost in last one year itself. The primary reason for this is draught of new launches whereas the competition has been pretty busy. For instance, over the last 3 years, there has been almost 35 new models launched in the PV industry whereas there were only 5 from Maruti which is quite low from a market leader perspective. The products were - It’s not that Maruti hasn’t done well with less launches, but this time 3 of them were relaunches (WagonR, Swift and Ertiga), one was a variant (XL6) and the last one was S-Presso which didn’t garner much volumes.

A similar situation came in the FY11-12 period when the competition got aggressive in its new launches. These launches included models like - Hyundai Eon, Toyota Etios, Nissan Sunny, Honda Brio, Mahindra Van and XUV500. Maruti lost 680bps of market share in 1 year to 38.6%. Subsequently, it launched some super hit products like - Baleno, Vitara Brezza, Celerio, New Dzire, Ciaz and gained one way share till FY19 to 51.2%.

New model launches play a significant role in the PV industry

Over the last decade, almost 120 new products have been launched in the passenger vehicle segment. Almost 40% of them have been discontinued by now. In the remaining products, 22-25% of the models have trivial sales volumes. So, about 45% of the new launches are significant as per this analysis. Also, in the top 20 models sold in FY21, almost half of them were launched in last 3 years itself. Hence, new model launches is an important factor in the industry to gain market share.

Exhibit 3: Status of the ~120 new models that were launched in last one decade

However, we believe there are structural reasons which could make it difficult for Maruti to recover its market share. Namely a) Pulling out of diesel segment which was almost 16% of company’s sales in FY20 and b) weak product portfolio in the Mid and Compact SUV segment.

We expect these reasons would continue to impact share going forward unless Maruti addresses them in the new launches. In fact, Maruti has lost marginal share in car segments as well in FY21, as Tata Motors has become aggressive.

Utility Vehicles: India following the global shift

The pace of increase of UV penetration has accelerated significantly in last couple of year owing to new products from players like KIA Motors, Hyundai, and Tata Motors. Historically as well, we have seen spurts in its penetration in years when launch pipeline was strong (FY13, FY17, FY18).

Movement to SUV’s is a global trend and it’s quite visible in key regions like USA, Europe and China. As per JATO, global SUV penetration increased from 22.4% in 2014 to 36.4 in 2018. US leads with 65% penetration (75% including Pickups), followed by China at 50%+ and Europe with 40%+ penetration. In India it has reached 39% in FY21 and we expect it to increase further given the huge list of new launches expected in FY22

However, Maruti has lost significant share in last 2 years owing to increased competitive intensity from both existing and new players. Maruti’s launches in this segments has been lower than the industry with 5 launches in last 9 years and only 2 or 3 expected launches in FY22 out of a total of more than 20 expected in the industry. We expect this to further impact on the company’s market share and it does not augur well as the UV segment is gaining share over the cars.

Diesel engines had majority of the share in the PV segment until FY14 given the high subsidy on diesel fuel prices and better efficiency over petrol engines. Considering the lower cost of usage and a small premium on the vehicle prices, Diesel vehicles made more sense back then. But, over the years, subsidy kept getting lower and premium of the vehicle prices started getting higher to a point that the economics didn’t work unless the vehicle is used as a taxi or is regularly used personally for long distances.

BS6 transition was the last straw as diesel vehicle prices increased significantly (10-15%) as compared to petrol (2-4%). This was also the time when Maruti decided to withdraw from the Diesel segment. Models like Vitara Brezza and S-Cross were only available in diesel till FY20 and models like Dzire, Ertiga had almost half of the sales in diesel. As a result, we saw a big drop in the Diesel share in the industry in FY21.

Exhibit 11: Share of diesel vehicles have been declining with increasing gap of vehicles prices and decreasing gap in fuel prices

Diesel PV share dropped by almost 11 percentage points between FY19 and FY21 to 17%. However, diesel remains a significant fuel in the SUV and larger car segments. The drop in diesel share in the industry, ex-Maruti, is not that steep (see Exhibit 9).

We believe the FY21 was a reset year for the diesel segment, largely due to BS6 transition and with Maruti exiting segment. We expect the transiting to be slower in the coming year mainly as diesel has a significant share in the growing segments like Mid-size, Compact SUV and MPV.

Costs increase to play spoil sport in recovery RM costs have sequentially increased by 8%/20%/16% in last three quarters of FY21

Basic raw material prices have risen quite sharply in last 3 quarters which has impacted margins in the industry. OEM’s have struggled to pass on the prices as the industry is still not out of the woods in terms of sales. PV industry degrew by 3% in FY21 after declining by 18% in FY20.

Our index suggests that RM costs have sequentially increased by 8%/20%/16% in last three quarters of FY21. The full effect of this will be felt in 4QFY21 and 1QFY22 in the form of lower margins. Our Metals Analyst, Ashish Kejriwal, expects fall of Rs6,000/t in steel prices from Q4FY21 average and 5-7% in aluminium and zinc prices in FY22. Which are still at a higher levels and are expected to keep the pressure on margins. However, there is good momentum in the PV industry demand and it is expected to grow significantly over a very low base and after 2 years of degrowth. This could provide an opportunity for passing on in the industry.

However, we expect Maruti to underperform the industry due to increased competitive intensity and with no presence in diesel engine segment. Also, Maruti’s product mix is moving towards smaller cars which impacts the company’s ASP’s and margins.

How to read the Index – We have considered the basic raw materials used in an average car i.e. HRC Steel, Aluminium, Plastics (Polypropylene) and rubber. The average weight in with these materials are used have been assumed to be 900/200/150/40 kgs respectively. HRC prices are of Mumbai. For rubber we have assumed R14 and R16 tyres as standard with average weight of 8kgs per tyre.

Following are the trends in the raw materials individually.

Financials and Valuation Financials

After a washout first quarter in FY21, Indian passenger vehicle industry has come back strongly to close the year at 2.5% degrowth. This has benefitted Maruti’s recovery as well as its domestic volumes degrew by 8.5% YoY. However, company’s sales to Toyota and LCV segment sales increased in the year. Also, exports performed better than domestic market with 5.9% degrowth. As a results total sales volume for the year degrew by 6.7% YoY to 1.458mn units. Almost 1 mn sales came from last 6 months itself which indicates that the momentum is good. Going forward, we expect a 17% volume CAGR for FY21-23E driven by strong demand in the PV segment. Under the Alliance with Toyota, Maruti is supplying 2 models so far – Baleno and Brezza. There is a possibility that 2 more models will join the list – Ertiga and Ciaz. This could add to the volume growth.

Maruti Suzuki’s long term average one year forward Price/earnings multiple has been ~25x/33x in last 10/5 years respectively. Its multiple has been higher in last 5 years on the back of increasing market share in the domestic PV industry. Share improved one way from 38.5% in FY12 to 51.2% in FY19. This was mainly due to successful launches and subdued competitive intensity. The scenario is changing now as competition has become intense and that too in Maruti’s weaker segment – SUVs. Industry is also shifting towards SUVs. This gets worse when Maruti is not present in the Diesel segment as all. Secondly, Maruti’s launch pipeline seems weaker than the competition.

We expect, Maruti to continue to lose share if it doesn’t address the above issues specially when there is a storm of new launches coming in the UV segment. In FY21-23E period, over a low base, we expect a strong volume growth but at the same time a loss in the market share. We acknowledge that company has a track record of launching blockbuster products and has the best network in the country, but with multiple challenges we refrain from giving a premium valuation. Hence we value the stock at its 10 year average PER multiple of 25x as compared to a higher 33x multiple in the last 5 years. We arrive at a target price of Rs 6,926 by giving a multiple of 25x (10 yr. average) to our FY23E EPS of Rs 277. It is currently trading at 24x FY23E earnings.
