Hero MotoCorp formerly Hero Honda is a motorcycle and scooter manufacturer based in India. Hero Honda started in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles of India and Honda of Japan. The company is the largest two wheeler manufacturer in India. The 2006 Forbes 200 Most Respected companies list has Hero Honda Motors ranked at 108.

“Hero” is the brand name used by the Munjal brothers for their flagship company Hero Cycles Ltd. A joint venture between the Hero Group and Honda Motor Company was established in 1984 as the Hero Honda Motors Limited At Dharuhera India. Hero MotoCorp has three manufacturing facilities based at Dharuhera, Gurgaon in Haryana and at Haridwar in Uttarakhand. These plants together are capable of churning out 3 million bikes per year.

Page 12: Company history hero motocorp

1956 -Formation of Hero Cycles in Ludhiana(majestic auto limited) 1983-Joint Collaboration Agreement with Honda Motor Co. Ltd. Japan Shareholders Agreement signed. 1985- CD 100 launched. 1994 -Splendor launched. 1999 -CBZ launched. 2003 -Karizma launched. August 2011 -Hero and Honda part company, thus forming Hero MotoCorp and Honda moving out of the Hero Honda joint venture.

In December 2010, the Board of Directors of the Hero Honda Group have decided to terminate the joint venture between Hero Group and Honda in a phased manner. The Hero Group would buy out the 26% stake of the Honda in JV Hero Honda. Under the joint venture Hero Group could not export to international markets (except Sri Lanka) and the termination would mean that Hero Group can now export. Since the beginning, the Hero Group relied on their Japanese partner Honda for the technology in their bikes. So there are concerns that the Hero Group might not be able to sustain the performance of the Joint Venture alone

During the fiscal year 2008-09, the company sold 3.7 million bikes, a growth of 12% over last year. In the same year, the company had a market share of 57% in the Indian market. Hero Hondas bike Hero Honda Splendor sells more than one million units per year. The company sold record 6,117,599 units of two-wheelers in the period January-December 2011, a growth of 19.2% over the calendar year of 2010 when it had sold 5,134,549 two- wheelers.

The demand of hero motocorp products are increasing day by day. Demand is more then the production capacity. There is a waiting period of over 2-3 months for selected bikes. Even though the termination of the venture with Hero Motocorp there is absolutely no change in demand.

The company has a stated aim of achieving revenues of $10 billion and volumes of 10 million two- wheelers by 2016-17. This in conjunction with new countries where they can now market their two-wheelers following the disengagement from Honda, Hero MotoCorp hopes to achieve 10 per cent of their revenues from international markets. to cope with the new demand the company was going to build their fourth factory in South India and their fifth factory in Western India.

The two industry leaders in the two-wheelers segment, Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp, seem geared up to log a good performance in the coming times. Both the companies make a good option for your portfolio, say Vidrum Mehta and Shrikant Akolkar.

The auto sector is not going through a very good time presently. From inventory pile-ups to slower demand due to higher interest rates and labour unrests, nothing seems to be going the right way for this sector. With the economy in a lower gear, these companies are finding it difficult to step up their speed of growth. Many companies in the sector have started resorting to production cuts due to the slowing demand. This has led the apex industry body, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), to cut the sales growth guidance for the sector from the lower double digits to single digits in the current fiscal. Petrol price hikes and talks of deregulating diesel prices have acted as further speed breakers for the growth of the sector. A weaker monsoon may worsen the situation even more. Amid all these negatives, what is the outlook for the sector? Is there any company whose stock can be bought with better returns in mind? Or should one just wait it out for some time with regard to this sector?

Broadly speaking, the auto industry is divided into the two- and four-wheeler segments. SIAM has brought down the growth guidance for the four-wheeler segment, but has retained the earlier projected growth of around 11 to 13 per cent for the two-wheelers segment. Further, according to SIAM reports, as at the end of FY11, the domestic two-wheeler market accounts for 76 per cent of the total number of vehicles that are sold. Within the twowheelers segment, two companies, viz. Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) and Bajaj Auto (BAL), have a total of around 65 per cent of the market share between themselves. In the motorcycles segment, both these companies have a combined share of around 80 per cent. Since these two companies form the mainstay of the

Page 25: Company history hero motocorp

domestic two-wheeler market, we have analysed both of them on various parameters that will help our readers to decide on which of them should ideally form a part of their portfolio.

Business & Past Performance

One interesting fact that investors should take note of is that HMCL and BAL collectively have 2.99 per cent weight in the Sensex. At Rs 45189 crore, the market cap of BAL is higher than that of HMCL, which stands at Rs 40569 crore.

HMCL’s past performance in terms of volumes and revenues has been better than that of BAL. HMCL’s volumes have grown at a CAGR of 13 per cent over the past five years, outpacing the industry average of 11 per cent during the same period. BAL’s volumes, on the other hand, have gone up at a CAGR of 10 per cent over the same period. On the revenue front, HMCL has seen its income grow at a CAGR of 22 per cent over the past five years, while BAL’s revenues have grown at a CAGR of 19 per cent over the same period. In terms of volumes and revenues, HMCL has done better than BAL in the past.

While HMCL and BAL are bothin the two-wheelers business, BAL also makes commercial vehicles (CV) like goods carriers and passenger vehicles. The CV segment forms about nine per cent of the total volumes. BAL also derives 35 per cent of the total revenues from exports, while those in case of HMCL are less than five per cent.

A comparison between these companies is possible on the fact that BAL derives 91 per cent revenues from two wheelers, while HMCL is entirely a two-wheeler company. Besides, both the companies derive a major chunk of their revenues from the rural segment, where there is a strong demand.
