Changing orbit, finally Ramkrishna Forgings (RMKF) sailed through tough times and posted impressive recovery in FY18. During FY15-FY17, RMKF's profits dropped substantially (APAT slid from Rs 673mn in FY15 to Rs 110mn in FY17) owing to (1) Slowdown in US class 8 trucks, (2) Delayed ramp-up of its new plant due to elongated approval time from OEM's, and (3) Sharp jump in interest/depreciation cost driven by capex of Rs 7bn for new press line. However, there was earnings revival in FY18. With ramp-up in its heavy-tonnage press line, RMKF has evolved from relatively low-end forgings into complex and heavy components (front axles, bell crank, connecting rods, crankshafts, and knuckles). This has opened opportunities across the US, Europe and India.

Not surprisingly, margin expansion (~200bps in the trailing year) has kicked in. Management has guided for strong export growth on the back of robust US demand outlook (21/10% growth in the Class 8 market in CY18E/19E as per FTR’s Truck & Trailer Outlook) aided by addition of a new European OEM in 1QFY19. Co intends to set up a greenfield project by Dec-19 for the Railway, PV and LCV segments.

Management expects strong traction in CVs sales and the new axle load norms to help post double digit volume growth to >140-145k tons in FY19E vs 122k in FY18 (65% domestic and 35% exports). We expect RMKF to register Revenue/PAT CAGR of 17/24% over FY18-21E on the back of a robust domestic CV cycle, market share gains, increased content per truck (via producing new components) and favourable

operating leverage. However new capex will result in higher interest/depreciation) cost and limit free cash flow. We value the stock Rs 908 (18x Sept-20E EPS) and recommend a BUY.

Key highlights Improvement in product mix: RMKF’s concentration

in heavy forged components benefits from the recent changes in axle load capacity (requiring bigger and heavier axles). We foresee a domestic market driven ramp up of its heavy 12,500 MT press line. This should help margins.

Resilient export revenue: Co’s ability to manufacture heavier components enabled order wins in the US market from Tier-1 suppliers such as Meritor and Dana Corp. A new European OEM order should additionally drive FY19/20 exports.

Change in product mix With its heavy 12,500-MT press unit commercialized

in early FY17, RMKF gained considerable strength in manufacturing complex components. RMKF’s transition from lower-end forged products (like crown wheel, pinion and crown propeller shafts) to more complex and heavy forged components (crankshafts, front axle beams) has expanded its margin profile and exports oriented products portfolio. Now, RMKF produces more components/sub-components in the chassis (front/rear axles) as well as engine & transmission components (higher value addition/high value products).

RoEs for large CV forge presses are higher than smaller presses (used for PVs) driven by three factors: a) Gain in tonnage is greater than gain in cycle time from a lower press to higher, optimizing a greater operating leverage. b) Large CV components enjoys better margin due to higher realisation c) Break even in large CV press lines is as low as ~25- 30%, which for a PV press line stands at >40-45%.

The recent debottlenecking at the new press line enhanced the production capability of the company. Now, RMKF is capable of producing 100k tons while the installed capacity remains at 80K ton.

Apart from change in mix, strong run up in domestic CV sales (FY18/ 1QFY19 by 20/50% YoY) led by strong traction in M&HCV demand with continued shift towards higher tonnage vehicles helped RMKF strengthening its margin and profitability profile.

Although, recent change in axle norms (increase in carrying capacity by 15-17%) is a near term concern for M&HCV demand, we believe stricter overloading ban, pick-up in infra, construction and mining activities pre-purchases for BS-VI in FY20 and introduction of scrappage policy in FY21 will continue to drive demand.

We believe, the new GVW norms is positive for RMKF as this will require bigger and heavier axle leading to higher utilization of heavier press line, increase in content per vehicle and thereby helping margin improvement.

RMKF’s Revenue-Geography Mix(FY18) Tonnage Capacity and Capacity Utilization

Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research

RMKF faced a difficult two years (FY16‐17), mainly as its key market of US Class‐8 trucks saw a sharp downturn and also because of the delayed ramp up of its new plant The company had spent Rs 7bn over FY14‐17 to set up four heavy presses units (3,100, 4,300, 6,300, and 12,500 MT), slow ramp up of these plants owing to delay in product approval and jump in interest and depreciation impacted profitability The company had raised equity capital Rs 2bn through equity (issued 3.92 mn share at Rs 510/share through QIP in 1HFY18 However, ramp up in its heavy press line expanded its margin profile and exports oriented products portfolio. RMKF is the only company after Bharat Forge to own a 12,500MT press. Current sub‐70% utilization of new press line could stretch up to 125% owing to change in product mix.

Strong export outlook India is amongst the most competitive manufacturers

of auto components, especially in metal intensive parts and forgings, which entail design engineering skills. Moreover, average wage in the country still stands at USD 1.1/hour, significantly lower than the minimum USD 7.25/hour in US and Europe. Employee cost to sales ratio is 10% for Indian companies; it is significantly higher at 30% for global companies, a predominant factor fuelling outsourcing.

Stringent pollution norms in mature markets like US have led to players sharpening focus on compliance rather than capacity addition to cater to the burgeoning demand. This is driving demand for high quality forging components from Indian companies.

To balance out the cyclicality nature of domestic M&HCV segment, RMKF has increased its focus into export markets. Currently, North America accounts for ~80% of export revenue. With steady

improvement in the ISM New Orders Index and a pickup in freight demand, the Class-8 sales expected to grow by 21/10% in CY18/19 (as per FTR’s Truck & Trailer Outlook). This segment should report healthy double-digit growth in medium term. The company is also looking to enter into the PV space which will provide ample opportunity for long term revenue growth.

Unlike rivals in the domestic forging companies such as M.M Forgings, Bharat Forge and Mahindra CIE, RMKF has yet to build a significant presence in the EU truck market. Currently, RMKF is supplying small orders in countries such as Italy and Turkey. Going forward, the company is endeavoring to win more orders from key OEMs in other regions. We expect the export revenue mix to improve substantially in the coming years.

New GVW axle norms is positive for RMKF as this will propel the demand for bigger and heavier axle and uses of 12500 MT press line will go up(current capacity utilization ~60%) Currently, North America accounts for ~80% of RMKF’s export Key international clients includes Meritor and Dana Corp Focus on complex & heavy exports‐oriented components will help the company to improve its operating performance While Q1 FY19 export growth was flat due to re‐adjustment of inventory, we expect strong export growth for the rest of the year and in FY20, driven by higher demand/sales in North America and Europe HCV industry across US, Europe and India are estimated at ~1mn vehicles. Based on our calculation of 650kg of forged components used per HCV, we estimate Industry size of USD ~1.4bn.

Entry into new segment

HCV contributes 95% to RMKF’s automotive segment revenue. Management plans to reduce this concentration to 70% over the next three years. Management is setting up a new Greenfield project, to be completed by Dec-19, dedicated to the Railway, PV and LCV segments which will expand its target market. Although, management has not disclosed the capex amount yet, they have indicated ~40% of the new capex would be funded through internal accruals, while balance would be funded through debt. It aims to maintain current net D/E ratio with +/- 5%, going forward.

We believe incremental capex will lead to higher interest cost and depreciation, hence limit free cash flow.

However, entry in the PV market not only opens up a new revenue potential, but also reduces cyclicality. The PV segment volume is almost 5x the HCV segment. Typically, in a PV, forging components account for ~120-130kg compared to 650-700kg in a HCV.

RMKF has also forayed into manufacturing components for oil and gas industry. Although, the revenue from this segment is insignificant, management expects revenue of USD 7-8 mn in FY19 on the back of new orders.

PV industry across US, Europe and India is pegged at ~40mn vehicles. Based on our calculation of 125kg of forged components used in a PV, we estimate industry size USD ~7bn Over a longer horizon, opportunity in passenger vehicles and industrial components, offer additional upside Typically, the weight of forged components in a passenger vehicle is ~120‐130kg, almost 20% of the HCVs. However, being volume driven, the size of PV forgings industry is way bigger than CV

RMKF’s entry in heavy forged components will catapult it into the higher league where the company’s visibility in the global forging industry will increase substantially. However, we believe RMKF is still not in direct competition with Bharat Forge given the size, diversification and scale of the latter’s operations

Transitioning from lower-end component manufacturer to higher-margin and exports-oriented complex & heavy forged components manufacturer will help RMKF to improve its operating performance.

The company trades at ~60% discount to Bharat forge’s multiples, we expect this to narrow down to 30-35% in coming years as operating metrics improves.

Higher share from domestic business and lower share of non‐auto business, leads to lower margin profile of RMKF compared to its peers Bharat Forge’s majority revenue share from large components both for CVs and non‐auto segments (>70% of standalone) has been a key driver for best‐in‐class RoE with lowest breakeven levels and superior gross margins.

Key risks RMKF derives >80% revenue from the automobile

industry (CV segment). Any major global slowdown in CV segment can adversely impact the company’s revenue and margin.

Depreciation in Rupee vs USD/Euro will impact its profitability as the company has high exposure to foreign debt (~50%).We have already incorporated forex losses into interest cost.
