We expect margins to normalize from 1QFY19 and maintain our FY19/FY20E estimates. Demand for new models like Swift and Dzire remains strong (as seen in waiting periods), and therefore outstanding bookings as of Mar’18 stood at 110k. While commissioning of Gujarat plant’s second line will start from Jan’19, MSIL is making efforts to increase production at Manesar and Gurgaon plants; therefore, management is confident of achieving double-digit volume growth in FY19. In view of the correction over last three months, we upgrade the stock to LONG with a Jun’19 TP of Rs 9,980 (vs. a Mar’19 TP of Rs 9,772) set at 30x Jun’19 EPS. High waiting periods to keep growth momentum strong in FY19; MSIL eyeing double-digit growth: With waiting periods on Swift, Brezza, Baleno and S-Cross, demand momentum for MSIL cars is expected to remain strong. During FY18, demand from rural India also picked up with the company clocking 16% yoy rural growth. On expectations of a good monsoon, demand is set to remain strong in FY19 as well. Apart from the Gujarat plant ramp-up, management is working towards increasing Haryana plant capacities through de-bottlenecking to achieve double-digit growth. Cost control, favorable mix to help negate impact of RM price inflation: MSIL has avoided taking meaningful price hikes to offset the impact of higher RM prices, and is instead trying to weather the impact through cost control. From 4Q, the company has shifted to royalty in INR terms on all new models lke Ignis, Swift and Dzire. A favorable product mix also helped the company counter the impact of RM cost inflation in 4Q, aiding a 122bps qoq expansion in gross margins. 4Q marred by one-offs; things to normalize from 1QFY19: Employee costs increased 34% yoy/21% qoq due to gratuity-related provisioning and some year-end provisioning. Sales promotion expenses were also higher during the quarter owing to the Auto Expo and Swift launch, and should normalize next year. Other expenses were impacted by higher royalty of Rs 1bn due to exchange variation, half of which was related to 3Q. Royalty rate for the quarter stood at 5.7% vs. 5.4% for the full year.

MSIL’s 4Q EBITDA (+18% yoy to ~Rs 30.2bn) fell short of estimates (EE: Rs 31.9bn) due

to one-offs related to higher gratuity provisioning, exchange rate variation in royalty,

and higher sales & promotion expenses. We expect margins to normalize from 1QFY19

and maintain our FY19/FY20E estimates. Demand for new models like Swift and Dzire

remains strong (as seen in waiting periods), and therefore outstanding bookings as of

Mar’18 stood at 110k. While commissioning of Gujarat plant’s second line will start

from Jan’19, MSIL is making efforts to increase production at Manesar and Gurgaon

plants; therefore, management is confident of achieving double-digit volume growth in

FY19. In view of the correction over last three months, we upgrade the stock to LONG

with a Jun’19 TP of Rs 9,980 (vs. a Mar’19 TP of Rs 9,772) set at 30x Jun’19 EPS.

High waiting periods to keep growth momentum strong in FY19; MSIL eyeing

double-digit growth: With waiting periods on Swift, Brezza, Baleno and S-Cross,

demand momentum for MSIL cars is expected to remain strong. During FY18, demand

from rural India also picked up with the company clocking 16% yoy rural growth. On

expectations of a good monsoon, demand is set to remain strong in FY19 as well. Apart

from the Gujarat plant ramp-up, management is working towards increasing Haryana

plant capacities through de-bottlenecking to achieve double-digit growth.

Cost control, favorable mix to help negate impact of RM price inflation: MSIL has

avoided taking meaningful price hikes to offset the impact of higher RM prices, and is

instead trying to weather the impact through cost control. From 4Q, the company has

shifted to royalty in INR terms on all new models lke Ignis, Swift and Dzire. A favorable

product mix also helped the company counter the impact of RM cost inflation in 4Q,

aiding a 122bps qoq expansion in gross margins.

4Q marred by one-offs; things to normalize from 1QFY19: Employee costs increased

34% yoy/21% qoq due to gratuity-related provisioning and some year-end provisioning.

Sales promotion expenses were also higher during the quarter owing to the Auto Expo

and Swift launch, and should normalize next year. Other expenses were impacted by

higher royalty of Rs 1bn due to exchange variation, half of which was related to 3Q.

Royalty rate for the quarter stood at 5.7% vs. 5.4% for the full year. Interest costs

included Rs 2.06bn of one-offs related to land compensation.

Earnings call takeaways

Industry & business update

The domestic PV industry grew at about 7.9% in FY18; UVs grew by 21%,

passenger cars by 3.3% and vans by 5.5%.

There is continued weakness in demand for diesel models.

Management expects double-digit growth for FY19.

MSIL outperformed the industry, posting 11.4% yoy volume growth at 461,773

vehicles and 14.4% sales growth at 205,943mn in 4Q. Growth was largely driven

by the compact and UV segments.

4QFY18 EBITDA grew ~18% yoy to Rs 30.2bn led by a better product mix and cost

reduction efforts despite higher other expenses and rising commodity prices.

The company expects RM prices to firm up further.

For FY18, volumes grew by 13.4% to 1,779,574 units and sales by 16.7% to

Rs 781,048mn.

For FY18, EBITDA grew 16.5% yoy to Rs 120.6bn.

In FY18, petrol vehicles outperformed industry growth, growing at 16.8% vs.

7.1% for the diesel segment.

The diesel: petrol vehicle mix stood at 29:71 for 4QFY18.

During FY18, the company sold 10,033 LCVs.

Cab aggregator contribution is ~5,000-6000 vehicles per month. A decline in the

segment stemmed from various problems in the cab aggregator business.

A shift towards non-hybrid vehicles was driven by the withdrawal of incentives

for hybrid vehicles under GST.

Rural markets saw a robust ~16% yoy growth in FY18, with the momentum likely

to continue ahead. The share of rural market in the sales mix is about 36%.

Staff costs increased in 4Q due to changes in provisions and in the Gratuity Act.

Export revenue for 4QFY18 stood at Rs 16.25bn as against Rs 14.30bn for

3QFY18.

Average discount per vehicle was at Rs 13,880 vs. Rs 17,900 last quarter.

Price increases in 4Q have not been significant and the commodity impact was of

~1%. Gross margins improved on a favorable product mix and cost reduction efforts.

Other expenses increased as (a) MSIL incurred freight expenditure of ~Rs 1.8bn, the

recovery against which is included in other operating income, (b) exchange variation

on royalty of ~1bn in 4QFY18, and (c) increasing power & fuel costs.

Royalty payment for FY18 was 5.4% of net sales as against 5.8% last year. For 4Q, it

was 5.7% owing to adverse exchange rates.

The new method of royalty calculation has been approved by Suzuki. Royalty will be

computed in INR instead of Yen for all models after Ignis, and the percentage of R&D

will be compensated.

The entire amount of ~Rs 2.5bn towards the Haryana government is accounted under

interest expenses, while the remaining has been capitalized under land.

Capacity and production

Gujarat plant is expected to deliver 250,000 units in FY19 as it will be the first full

year of double-shift operations. Second line at Gujarat will come on stream from

Jan’19.

New Swift and Baleno will be manufactured from the Gujarat plant.

The Gujarat plant contributed 58,000 units in 4Q and 157,000 units in FY18.

As a result of capacity expansion, MSIL’s pending bookings have declined to ~110,000

this year vs. ~120,000 last year.

Capex, dealership network and FY19 guidance

Capex guidance for FY19 is at Rs 50bn. Land acquisition costs for FY18 were at

Rs 7.9bn and would likely be at Rs 10bn for the next year.

MSIL expects significant impact of rising material costs going forward.

During the year, the company added 315 sales outlets, including 140 for commercial

channels.

Nexa contributed 20% of total domestic sales during the year.

Investment towards Arena is being done by dealers only.

advantages.

Success of new launches has put MSIL in a strong position to deliver industry-leading

growth.

Volumes to grow at 11% CAGR over FY17-FY20E driven by mid-to-premium segment

cars, leading to better value growth.

Lite vs. Regular Coverage vs. Spot Coverage We aim to keep our rating and estimates updated at least once a quarter for Regular Coverage stocks. Generally, we would have access to the company and we would maintain detailed financial model for Regular coverage companies. We intend to publish updates on Lite coverage stocks only an opportunistic basis and subject to our ability to contact the management. Our rating and estimates for Lite coverage stocks may not be current. Spot coverage is meant for one-off coverage of a specific company and in such cases, earnings forecast and target price are optional. Spot coverage is meant to stimulate discussion rather than provide a research opinion.
