    Result Update

    Volumes normalise , well poised to grow…

    Swaraj Engines (SEL) reported a muted Q4FY18 performance despite

    robust tractor sales volumes at the industry as well as parent level

    This can be attributed to normalisation of inventory at the parent

    level in FY18. From a two-year perspective, Swaraj has grown in

    tandem with industry growth rate with market share intact at ~17%

    SEL recorded engine sales of 21,780 units in Q4FY18, up 9.8% YoY

    Consequently, total operating income in Q4FY18 came in at | 185.2

    crore (up 15.2% YoY). EBITDA for the quarter came in at | 28.6 crore

    with corresponding EBITDA margins at 15.4% (up 41 bps YoY)

    PAT in Q4FY18 was at | 17.9 crore, up 17.0% YoY

    SEL announced a dividend of | 50/share for FY18, implying a healthy

    dividend yield of ~2.5%

    Normal monsoon forecast to aid farm mechanisation play; SEL to benefit

    South West Monsoon, which accounts for ~70% of annual rainfall

    domestically, has been forecast to be normal in nature (IMD at 97% of

    LPA & Skymet at 100% of LPA). Normal monsoon is likely to result in an

    increase in food grain production. This coupled with government

    directive to ensure minimum support price (MSP) at 1.5x the cost of

    production for key crops domestically and a wider e-NAM network is

    likely to result in healthy farm income. It is positive for all farm

    mechanisation companies, including SEL. Interestingly, it has been

    observed that SEL realises greater proportion of sales in the Kharif season

    (~55% of sales) which makes next six months truly crucial for SEL.

    Domestic tractor industry on growth trajectory post stellar sales in FY18

    The domestic tractor industry has been at the forefront of farm

    mechanisation in India. The tractor industry registered record sales

    volume of 711,478 units (up 22.1% YoY) after ending FY17 at 582,853

    units (up 18% YoY). Tractor sales at the parent level in FY18 were at

    ~304,019 units (up 21.8% YoY) after rising 23% YoY in FY17 to 249,683

    units thereby maintaining is commanding market share of ~43%. Going

    forward, with renewed focus on the agriculture sector and pick-up in

    infrastructure activities, we expect the domestic tractor industry to

    witness healthy double digit volume growth (10-12% CAGR) in FY18-20E.

    Strong brand image, capital efficient business model; retain BUY!

    “Swaraj” tractors enjoy a strong brand image with a market share in

    excess of 15%. Back-t-back normal monsoons and supportive

    government measures aimed at augmenting farm income bode well for

    farm mechanisation players, including SEL. The company has one of the

    most capital efficient business models with RoICs in excess of 200%

    largely due to negative working capital cycle and high dividend payout

    ratio (~75%). Average RoCE & RoE in FY18-20E are expected at 52% &

    39%, respectively. SEL is a debt free company with surplus cash on its

    balance sheet (| 183 crore as of FY18). Incorporating the normalisation of

    inventory at the parent level, we expect SEL to clock engine sales volume

    CAGR of 10% in FY18-20E to 111,310 units in FY20E (92,022 units in

    FY18). We expect sales, PAT to grow at a CAGR of 12.0%, 11.9%,

    respectively, in FY18-20E. Conservatively, we build in 40 bps

    improvement in EBITDA margins. We expect SEL to generate an average

    CFO of ~| 112 crore over FY18-20E thereby offering a healthy CFO yield

    of 4.5%. We maintain our positive stance on SEL and value it at | 2500 i.e.

    30x P/E on FY20E EPS of | 82.8. We retain our BUY rating on the stock.

    We also incorporate the recently concluded buyback amounting to ~| 71

    crore (2.95 lakh shares @ buyback price of | 2400).

    Normal monsoon forecast at 97% of LPA

    South West Monsoon, which accounts for ~70% of annual rainfall

    domestically, has been forecast to be normal in nature. It is forecast at

    97% of the long period average (LPA) by the Indian Meteorological

    Department (IMD) and 100% of LPA by private weather monitoring

    agency Skymet. Absence of El Niño conditions and fading away of La

    Niña over the Pacific Ocean amid neutral dipole movement in the Indian

    Ocean have contributed to this normal rainfall forecast.

    This bodes well for all agri-input companies and rural demand focused

    consumer industries viz. FMCG & consumer durables. In the past, it has

    been observed that majority of agri input companies, particularly in the

    farm mechanisation segment (tractors, tillers, pumps) witness volume

    growth of ~20% during years of normal monsoons.

    IMD has forecast monsoon 2018 to be normal to positive in nature with a

    probability of 56% while the probability assigned to below normal

    monsoon 2018 is pegged at 30%. Skymet forecast is more aggressive,

    with 80% probability of normal to positive monsoon while probability

    assigned to below normal monsoon at 20%. Interestingly, Skymet has

    assigned a zero probability to monsoon 2018 being deficient in nature.

    Currently, the national focus as well as political mandate is on

    augmenting farm income and minimising farm distress. It is being done

    through various measures like robust allocation in key government

    schemes (Union Budget 2018) focusing on augmenting farm productivity.

    It is also being targeted through farm loan waiver in key states like Uttar

    Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, etc. The most notable and effective,

    however, would be the increase in MSP for key agriculture crops that is

    being targeted at 1.5x the cost of production. Therefore, amid such

    measures, normal to positive monsoon will act as a shot in the arm for

    the domestic agriculture sector with agri GDP expected to surpass its

    long period average growth rate of ~4%.

    Skymet expects monsoons to start at a very robust pace with

    June forecast to receive rainfall at 111% of LPA, followed by

    July at 97% of LPA, August at 96% of LPA and September at

    Company Analysis

    SEL is a joint holding of Kirloskar Industries (KIL) (17.4% stake) and a

    leading tractor player (33.2% stake) with the latter the main promoter

    consequent to its acquisition of Punjab Tractors in 2007-08. The

    Government of India originally set up the company in 1985 for

    manufacturing diesel engines for Punjab Tractors, which marketed their

    products under the Swaraj brand. SEL commenced production at its

    facility in Mohali in 1988 and has been a profitable entity since then. Since

    inception, the company also had a technical collaboration with KIL that

    also bought ~17% stake in SEL, thereby partnering with SEL in all its

    technical, designing and functional needs. However, from 2005-06, the

    company ended its technical collaboration with KIL and developed in-

    house capability and facilities for modernisation and technological

    upgradation of its products.

    SEL serves the engine requirements of the Swaraj brand of tractors. The

    company manufactures engines catering to tractors in the 20-50 hp

    segment and caters to ~85-88% of the total engine requirement at

    parent’s Swaraj tractor division. SEL has a current installed capacity to

    manufacture 120,000 units of engines. SEL also manufactures hi-tech

    engine components for commercial vehicles for SML Isuzu (erstwhile

    Swaraj Mazda). The contribution to the topline, however, remains limited

    Domestic tractor market on strong footing; penetration set to increase

    The domestic tractor industry has been at the forefront of farm

    mechanisation in India with tractor sales increasing at 7.4% CAGR in

    FY10-18 to ~7.1 lakh units in FY18 (~4.0 lakh units in FY10). Within

    segments, main growth was witnessed in the segment of 41-50 hp, which

    has grown at 17.2% CAGR to 3.4 lakh units in FY10-18 (94,000 units in

    FY10). This reflects the preference towards tractors for farming as well as

    other allied services like haulage of construction material and personnel.

    On the other hand, sales of small hp tractors i.e.

    SEL: Expanding capacity; sales & profitability to follow

    Post acquisition by parent (i.e. post FY08), SEL has always operated at

    optimal capacity utilisation levels with utilisation levels at 88% (average)

    in FY10-18. During the aforesaid period, the company has consistently

    undertaken five expansion programmes from its first increase in capacity

    from 36,000 units to 42,000 units in FY11, to finally augment its capacity

    to 120,000 units in FY18.

    Going forward, we expect sales volumes to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% in

    FY18-20E to 111,310 units in FY20E vs. 92,022 units in FY18. The

    company has successfully augmented its capacity to 120,000 units in

    FY18 incurring a capex of ~| 25 crore, funded through internal accruals.

    Working capital - key hallmark of SEL!

    SEL, after being acquired, has drastically improved its working capital

    cycle with net working capital days reducing from 42 days in FY08 to four

    days in FY09. Thereafter, the net working capital has either been

    marginally negative or zero, thereby implying prudent capital

    management. This has resulted in strong cash flow generation for the

    company with five-year average CFO: EBITDA at 1.1x in FY14-18.

    Going forward, we conservatively build in a negative working capital cycle

    of 20 days in FY19-20E. NWC days further improved to negative 28 days

    in FY18 from negative 21 days in FY17.

    SEL also undertakes continuous innovation and technology

    upgradation to meet the changing engine requirements at

    the Swaraj division. The company is also developing

    engines in the >50 hp segment that will further help

    augment sales at SEL. All expenses for the aforesaid

    expansion were undertaken from internal accruals.

    All capacity additions were undertaken under the

    supervision of the main promoter group as and when the

    parent sensed the greater demand for the Swaraj brand of

    tractors

    Superior return ratios; high dividend payouts!

    The return ratio profile of SEL has been superior with five-year average

    RoCEs and RoEs at 34% and 27%, respectively, in FY14-18. Going

    forward, post the blip in FY16 (volume de-growth of 1%) on the back of a

    pick-up in tractor (Swaraj) demand/capacity expansion and consequent

    engine sales, we expect return ratios to inch up in FY18-20E. The core

    return ratio i.e. RoICs has, however, been above 100% post acquisition

    with five-year average RoICs at 194% in FY14-18.

    Dividend payout has been excellent with the company’s average dividend

    payout in the last five years (FY14-18) at ~75%. SEL has increased its

    dividend per share from | 33/share in FY14 to | 50/share in FY18. We

    expect this healthy dividend to continue, going forward. Dividend/share is

    expected at | 60/share in FY19E, | 65/share in FY20E, thereby offering an

    attractive dividend yield of ~3%.

    Revenues to grow at 12.0% CAGR in FY18-20E

    We expect SEL to clock modest revenue growth at 12.0% CAGR in FY18-

    20E to | 967.2 crore in FY20E (| 771.2 crore in FY18). We expect sales

    volumes of engines to grow at a CAGR of 10.0% in FY18-20E to 111,130

    units in FY20E (92,022 units in FY18). On the realisations front, we expect

    realisations to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% over FY18-20E.

    Sales Volume Realization

    Source: Company, ICICI Direct Research

    For full year FY18, SEL reported volume growth of 12% at 92,022 units.

    Going forward, amid the government’s thrust to augment farm income;

    we expect sales volume growth of 12.0% CAGR in FY18-20E.

  • ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8

    This would primarily be on the back of the good brand recall of Swaraj

    Tractors, increasing sales of Swaraj Tractor in low tractor density regions

    domestically and new product launches by parent under the Swaraj

    brand.

    EBITDA, PAT to grow at 13.4%, 11.9% CAGR, respectively, in FY18-20E

    We expect EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% in FY18-20E to | 156.4

    crore in FY20E (| 121.7 crore in FY18), primarily on the back of sales

    growth (12.0% CAGR) and improvement in EBITDA margins to the tune of

    40 bps to 16.2% in FY20E (15.8% in FY18). On the PAT front, we expect

    PAT to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% in FY18-20E to | 100.4 crore in FY20E

    (| 80.1 crore in FY18).

    Outlook and valuation

    “Swaraj” tractors enjoy a strong brand image with a market share in

    excess of 15%. Back-to-back normal monsoon and supportive

    government measures targeted towards augmenting farm income bodes

    well for farm mechanisation players including SEL. Swaraj Engines has

    one of the most capital efficient business models with RoICs in excess of

    200% largely due to negative working capital cycle and high dividend

    payout ratio (~75%). Average RoCE & RoE in FY18-20E are expected at

    52% & 39%, respectively. SEL is a debt free company with surplus cash

    on its balance sheet (| 183 crore as of FY18). Incorporating the

    normalisation of inventory at the parent level, we expect SEL to clock

    engine sales volume CAGR of 10% in FY18-20E to 111,310 units in FY20E

    (92,022 units in FY18). We expect sales, PAT to grow at a CAGR of 12.0%,

    11.9%, respectively, in FY18-20E. Conservatively, we build in 40 bps

    improvement in EBITDA margins. We expect SEL to generate an average

    CFO of ~| 112 crore over FY18-20E thereby offering a healthy CFO yield

    of 4.5%. We maintain our positive stance on SEL and value it at | 2500 i.e.

    30x P/E on FY20E EPS of | 82.8. We retain our BUY recommendation on

    the stock. We also incorporate the recently concluded buyback

    amounting to ~| 71 crore (2.95 lakh shares @ buyback price of | 2400).
