The industry is also buoyant with global leaders like Michelin and Trelleborg witnessing 17% volume growth and 8% yoy organic growth respectively in 2QCY17. We however cut our FY18E volumes by 1% as 1Q and 4Q are seasonally strong quarters, and therefore believe the 1Q miss could be difficult to make up for. We accordingly pare our FY18E EPS by 6% but increase our FY19E EPS by 2%. Maintain ADD with a Dec’18 TP of Rs 1,739 set at 20x Dec’18 EPS (Sep’18 TP of Rs 1,656 earlier). Volume growth of larger global players points to market buoyancy: Michelin reported 17% yoy volume growth in its specialty tyres segment during 2QCY17 and 16% growth for 1H. Growth was driven by mining tyres, a segment which is bouncing back from years of decline. Trellebrg also reported an 8% yoy growth in organic sales. Commentary from other market players has also been good, which should benefit BIL as well in FY18. We have cut FY18E volumes by 1% but still expect 8% volume growth; management is confident of achieving its guidance of 185-190k, in fact talked about possibility of beating the same as well. Ultra-large mining tyres trials going well; contribution likely from 2HFY18: BIL has been undertaking trials of ultra-large mining tyres like 2749 at 6-7 locations across geographies; as per management, trials are going well as of now. Our channel checks indicate that trials of radial tyres are still underway; however, the long life of tyres and attractive pricing offers a good value proposition, which should benefit BIL. Even in 1QFY18, BIL witnessed higher growth in mining tyre sales, contribution of which to total sales increased to 12% from 10% in 1QFY17. Profitability hit by higher RM prices which peaked out in 1Q; price hikes partially rolled back: ASPs increased only 2% qoq despite higher price increases taken from Apr’17; management stated that while prices were hiked by 3-4%, these hikes were partially rolled back as RM prices had started declining during the quarter. As RM prices impact P&L with a lag, RM cost/kg increased 10% qoq and 27% yoy. EBITDA/kg declined 19% yoy and 8% qoq to come in 15% below EE at Rs 60. Management has guided for full-year realizations of ~Rs 230 and margins of around 30%, implying an EBITDA/kg of ~Rs 69. Euro-INR realizations are expected to improve to Rs 81-82 in FY18 vs. Rs 77-78 in FY17, shoring up profitability.

Balkrishna Industries (BIL) delivered a soft 1Q due to volume miss and RM pressures;

however, management remains confident of achieving its FY18E guidance and also

guided for FY18E EBITDA margins of ~30% (1QFY18: 26%). The industry is also buoyant

with global leaders like Michelin and Trelleborg witnessing 17% volume growth and

8% yoy organic growth respectively in 2QCY17. We however cut our FY18E volumes by

1% as 1Q and 4Q are seasonally strong quarters, and therefore believe the 1Q miss

could be difficult to make up for. We accordingly pare our FY18E EPS by 6% but

increase our FY19E EPS by 2%. Maintain ADD with a Dec’18 TP of Rs 1,739 set at 20x

Dec’18 EPS (Sep’18 TP of Rs 1,656 earlier). Volume growth of larger global players points to market buoyancy: Michelin

reported 17% yoy volume growth in its specialty tyres segment during 2QCY17 and

16% growth for 1H. Growth was driven by mining tyres, a segment which is bouncing

back from years of decline. Trellebrg also reported an 8% yoy growth in organic

sales. Commentary from other market players has also been good, which should

benefit BIL as well in FY18. We have cut FY18E volumes by 1% but still expect 8%

volume growth; management is confident of achieving its guidance of 185-190k, in

fact talked about possibility of beating the same as well. Ultra-large mining tyres trials going well; contribution likely from 2HFY18: BIL has

been undertaking trials of ultra-large mining tyres like 2749 at 6-7 locations across

geographies; as per management, trials are going well as of now. Our channel checks

indicate that trials of radial tyres are still underway; however, the long life of tyres

and attractive pricing offers a good value proposition, which should benefit BIL. Even

Concall takeaways:

Market scenario and volumes:

Management stated that the demand scenario continues to improve.

The company is strengthening its distribution network in India to expand

domestic sales.

Management is confident of meeting its FY18 annual volume guidance of

185,000-190,000MT and may even revise it upwards.

While BIL had taken a 3-4% hike earlier, the company partially rolled it back in

select markets due to a decline in RM prices. No further reduction in pricing is

expected.

RM inventory days are normally 60-75 days for 1Q.

Full-year EBITDA margin is expected at 30%.

BIL does not see significant savings on logistics costs in India post GST, as it does

not follow a depot structure and dispatches goods directly to dealers.

Of the total production of 47,000 tons during the quarter, Bhuj production stood

at 15,376 tons.

Geographical breakup of volumes was as follows: Europe 55%, America 14-15%

and India 17%.

In terms of new geographies, the focus will be on Russia, CIS and certain parts of

the US where the company does not have a significant presence.

Management endeavors to increase penetration in OEM and replacement

segments.

OEM sales for the quarter stood at 26% and should increase at a steady pace to

32% in the next three years.

Though the non-agri segment is expected to yield better growth than the agri

segment, the focus will remain on the latter because of its non-cyclic nature.

BIL is getting a good response for mining tyres, especially from the replacement

market.

The proportion of mining tyre sales increased from ~10% in 1QFY17 to 12% in

1QFY18.

Forex and other highlights:

Realized forex gains pertaining to sales were at Rs 630mn for 1Q.

BIL booked an unrealized loss of Rs 100mn during the quarter.

MTM on currency futures outstanding are directly taken through the balance

sheet.

Euro-INR realizations for FY18E are expected at Rs 80-81 vs. 74-75 last year.

The company hedges 80-85% of its net exposure for Euro forex risk, and covers

its dollar exposure through imports.

On the debt front, BIL’s gross long-term loan stands at US$ 4.34bn. In

comparison, cash and cash equivalents were at 11.4bn, making the company net

debt-free.

Carbon black facility:

As part of its backward integration plan, BIL will incur a capex of Rs 1.5bn for

setting up a carbon black facility (annual capacity: 60,000MT) at the Bhuj plant.

This facility will be ready in 18-24 months.

At the current volume run-rate, BIL’s carbon black requirement is ~27% or 50k

tons. By the time the plant comes on stream, the requirement will increase to

over 60k tons.

Feed stock used in the plant will generate steam as a by-product, which can be

utilized in the tyre manufacturing process.

BIL expects the plant to generate a ROIC of more than 20% and 10% cost savings

on carbon-black sourcing. It will also help save on logistics and planning fronts.

• UNDERWEIGHT: likely to under-perform the benchmark by at least 5% over investment horizon Investment Horizon Investment Horizon is set at a minimum 3 months to maximum 18 months with target date falling on last day of a calendar quarter. 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.
