We Prefer Hero MotoCorp over TVS
MotorHMCL to Witness Margins Improvement
with Likely Reversal in Excise Duty in FY16
2W Industry to Record 13% CAGR over FY14-FY16E: Both the major two
wheeler companies Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp have underperformed the
BSE Auto Index as well as BSE Sensex over last one year, primarily due to
volume performance and limited expansion in valuation multiple, as stocks
already traded at fair value. Within the segment, only TVS Motor delivered
strong volume performance, while its price run up is ahead of fundamentals.
We expect two wheeler industry to continue recording healthy volumes,
backed by demand from rural markets and improving sentiment in urban
markets, post formation of stable government at centre. We expect a growth of
13% CAGR for domestic two wheeler industry, 10% CAGR for motorcycle
industry and higher growth of 21.5% CAGR for scooter segment over FY14-
FY16E. We believe that competition will further intensify in the segment on
account of aggressive strategy of other global players like HMSI, Suzuki etc.
Therefore, we expect Hero MotoCorp to underperform the industry growth,
while healthy exports would help TVS Motor to outperform the industry.
TVS - stock price has moved 6x, as against earning soaring ~2x: For TVS
Motor, we expect volume growth of 16.5% CAGR, EBIDTA margin expansion
of 130 bps and EPS CAGR of 44% over FY14-FY16E. However, stock price has
moved 6x, as against earning soaring ~2x over last one year. In our blue sky
scenario, we arrive at its fair value of Rs 174, valuing TVSL at 14xFY16E EPS,
(our base case valuation stands at Rs 145, valuing at 13xFY16E EPS), leaving no
room for upside from current level. For TVS Motors, current valuation is ahead
of fundamentals and risk reward is highly unfavorable. Stock is trading at
higher end of valuation of two wheeler companies, despite single digit margin
profile and smaller size. We reiterate our SELL on TVS with TP of Rs 145.
Likely Reversal of Excise to Benefit Margins: We believe that Hero
MotoCorps various cost cutting initiative coupled with likely reversal of excise
duty by FY16E will help margin improvement for the company. On the other
hand competition, new product launch expenses and increasing advertising
expenses would eat into margins, therefore we expect improvement of only 50
bps in HMCLs EBIDTA margins over FY14-FY16E. Despite loss of some
market share by HMCL, we expect margin improvement on high base to
translate into EPS CAGR of 29% over FY14-FY16E. Strong product pipe-line
and higher volumes may lead to margin upgrade going forward. In view of
better traction for the company and valuation comfort, we reiterate our BUY on
Hero MotoCorp with TP of Rs 2,950, valuing the stock at 17xFY16E EPS.

Sensex (LHS) Hero MotoCorp (RHS)
Likely Excise Reversal to Expand Margins in
FY16E...New Launches to Boost Volumes
Hero MotoCorps recent performance was impacted by reduction in excise
duty post Budget in Q4FY14, lowering the excise benefit enjoyed by HMCL on
its production from Haridwar plant (40% of total production). Company is
exempted from excise duty on its production from Haridwar plant, while it
maintains its vehicle pricing across the products irrespective of its location of
production, which translated into direct benefit of 12% of net revenues from
Hridwar plant to companys financials till Q4FY14. However, lower excise
duty of 8% resulted in loss of benefit to the tune of 4% of net revenues from
this plant. Assuming constant average realization per vehicle across plants and
75% net impact on margins, our back of envelop calculation indicates direct
impact of 120 bps on companys EBIDTA margins. Our adjusted EBIDTA
margins stood at 14.7% as against reported margins of 13.5% in Q1FY15. Our
sensitivity analysis indicates net impact of 30 bps on EBIDTA margins for
every 1% cut in excise duty for HMCL. We believe that lower excise rate would
not continue for longer term and expect its reversal in FY16, benefitting
HMCLs operating margin going forward.
New Launches, Network Expansion and Additional Capacity to Pay off:
HMCLs strong product pipe line with expected launch of 8-10 new models
over next one year would help maintain market shares. Moreover, it expanded
annual production capacity by ~750,000 units at its Rajasthan plant. Companys
strong network of ~6000 touch points would be the key factor to grab the
opportunity arising out of expected economic recovery over next two years.
We expect companys R&D and promotional expenses to go up amid
intensifying competition, while operating leverage, value engineering and
likely excise reversal would compensate for higher expense. Therefore we
expect ~50 bps improvement in HMCLs EBIDTA margins to 14.5% in FY16E.
Outlook & Valuation
We maintain our estimates and we expect margins and return ratios to
improve for HMCL. In view of healthy return ratio and 29% EPS CAGR over
FY14-FY16E, we reiterate our BUY recommendation on HMCL and maintain
our target price of Rs 2,950, valuing the stock at 17x FY16E EPS.

Sensex (LHS) TVS Motor (RHS)
Punchy Valuation Breaches Our Blue Sky
Scenario; Reiterate SELL
TVS Motor has outperformed BSE Auto Index and Sensex by 440% and 464%
respectively over last one year. Its price performance is way ahead of its
earnings performance. Its EPS growth was 30% in FY14, while we expect its
EPS to double over FY14-FY16E to Rs 11.1 However price has moved up by
over 5x in a years period. All the positives, even in our blue sky scenario, are
priced in. Current valuation of 16.6xFY16E EPS is expensive for a company
with single digit operating margin and RoE of 25%. We believe that stock
would remain under pressure until it delivers margin performance, despite
expectation of strong volume outperformance in coming quarters. Strong
margin performance is needed for re-rating, along with volumes.
Gaining Volumes and Shares at the Cost of Margins: TVSL outperformed
domestic as well as exports industry across the segments in Q1FY15 with
market shares gain in majority of the segments. However, its margins fell
sequentially and remained flat YoY despite favourable currency, which
indicates lack of competency to maintain profitability in a period of best of the
volume performance. Companys export contribution and three wheeler
contribution to total volume is highest ever at ~16.7% and 4.3% respectively
and exchange rate was favorable during Q1FY15, while its operating margins
remained under pressure indicating absence of product mix benefit. We
believe that companys operating expenses will increase with new launches in
the coming quarters. It may surprise on volumes front, but drastic
improvement operating margins would be a challenge for Company. This
would restrict re-rating of the company and may lead to de-rating in case of
subdued margins.
Expensive even in Blue Sky Scenario: In our blue sky scenario, we assumed
TVSLs EBIDTA margins to improve from current 5.7% to 8% in FY16E and
assigned P/E multiple of 14x (as against our base case assumption of 7.3% and
P/E of 13x) FY16E, we arrive at target price of Rs 174, implying 6% downside
from CMP. Risk reward is highly unfavorable at current valuation and way
ahead of fundamentals. We reiterate our SELL on TVS Motor with a target
price of Rs 145, valuing it at 13xFY16E EPS, potential downside of 22%.

As evident in above table, TVS export contribution to total volume grew to 16.7%
and three wheeler contribution was high at 4.3% in Q1FY15. Company failed to
translate this benefit into financial performance, despite favourable exchange rate.
Increase in price per vehicle by Rs 1,085 QoQ is insufficient to compensate increase
of Rs 1,281 QoQ in raw material per vehicle, impacting margins.

TVS Motor

In a blue sky scenario of EBIDTA margin improvement of 230 bps from current
level to 8% in FY16E and P/E multiple of 14x (as compared to TVS historical up-
cycle average multiple of 12.5x 1 year forward P/E), we arrive at target price of Rs
174 per share. This implies 6% downside from CMP, resulting in highly
unfavourable risk reward at current valuation. There is no room for upside...even
in our blue sky scenario.
Exhibit 4: P/E Price band

Exhibit 5: Volumes and EBIDTA Margin Trend

Source: SIAM, Company, Karvy Institutional Research
Valuation Surpasses Previous Peak
As evident in above P/E chart for TVSL, the stock has traded at 12.5x during FY11-
FY12, when its volumes surpassed 2 mn mark and sales volume grew by 20%
CAGR over FY10-FY12. Its EBIDTA margins were in the range of 6.5 - 6.9% during
the same period. Historically, its high multiple was backed by strong volumes and
operating margins of ~7%. Current situation resembles the past scenario of volume
and margin performance, however at present stock is trading at 16.6xFY16E EPS as
compared to historical valuation of 12.5x, which is very expensive, we reiterate our
SELL on TVS Motor.
