REDUCE

Margins disappoint; weakness to persist…

For Escorts, revenues declined 5.8% YoY to | 1,423 crore in Q1FY20. Gross

revenue from agri equipment machinery (EAM) de-grew 7.2% YoY to | 1,092

crore (tractor volumes down 14.1% YoY to 21,051 units). Gross revenue

from construction equipment de-grew 13.7% YoY to | 212 crore while

revenue from railway equipment grew robustly by 34.1% YoY to | 118 crore.

EBITDA was at | 142.4 crore (down 23.2% YoY) with attendant margins at

10.0% (down 162 bps QoQ), tracking a 20 bps QoQ increase in raw material

costs. EBIT margins of the EAM segment came in at 10.9%, down 225 bps

QoQ. Consequent PAT in Q1FY20 came in at | 87.5 crore.

Tractor business to consolidate post 50%+ growth in FY16-19!

The tractor industry is cyclical in nature, with periods of healthy growth

regularly being followed by periods of consolidation. The current up-cycle

in the domestic tractor industry started after FY16. Succeeding years,

thereafter, have posted YoY growth of 21%, 22% and 8%, taking domestic

tractor industry volumes to record high of 7.9 lakh units in FY19. Escorts has

outperformed the industry heavily by growing volumes at ~22% CAGR in

FY16-19, also expanding market share to 11.8% as of March 2019. We

believe the industry’s high base and subdued growth in farm incomes will

weigh on tractor sales in FY19-21E, leading to muted growth prospects for

tractor players. Escorts’ construction equipment division is facing flattish

growth for FY20E as per company commentary. The | 400-crore order book

in the railways division, however, provides some revenue visibility. We build

in ~2% blended sales CAGR in FY19-21E.

Negative operating leverage to pressurise margins!

Escorts has transformed its margin profile from 4.1% in FY15 to 11.8% in

FY19 on the back of sustained robust volume growth. However, going

forward, given the expected softness in core tractor business volumes, we

fear the associated lack of meaningful operating leverage would weigh on

Escorts’ margin profile. Margin recovery is also yet to occur in a meaningful

way in the construction equipment business, while management expects

product mix to worsen in railways division. We estimate Escorts will register

10.8% and 11.4% EBITDA margins in FY20E and FY21E, respectively.

Valuation & Outlook

At Escorts, we expect sales and PAT to grow at a moderate CAGR of 1.9%

and -1.0%, respectively, in FY19-21E. We believe anticipated volume

slowdown in tractor segment will arrest growth momentum, with margin

profile expected to recover at a sedate pace. We value the company at | 430

i.e. 8x FY21E EPS of | 53.4/share (adjusted for treasury shares which amount

to ~27% of issued capital) with a REDUCE rating on the stock.

Conference call highlights

Management outlook/guidance and demand

According to the management, industry sentiment remains negative

currently. Delayed onset and uneven distribution of monsoons, lesser

sowing, lower reservoir levels (particularly South & West regions) and

slowdown in commercial activity are some factors weighing on demand.

The slowdown in Q1FY20 was sharper than expected

On the tractor side, Q2FY20E could be slightly better than Q1FY20

(mainly in September) if the festive season lends support. Progress of

monsoons also holds key. Q2FY20E could also register smaller YoY

drop than Q1FY20. A favourable base from last year could benefit

industry’s H2FY20E volumes

Escorts’ retail performance was better than wholesale volumes and

peer’s retails during Q1FY20 as a result of production cuts undertaken

during the quarter. Escorts production was 20% lower than sales

Beginning Q2FY20E, some subsidy-linked demand from Gujarat and

Assam could benefit the industry

In case of construction equipment business, slowdown on the financing

side and delayed payments have impacted volumes. Underlying

demand remains present, however. The management expects a

recovery in H2FY20E (generally stronger half), leading to flattish FY20E

Railway equipment order book was at | 400 crore, which is to be

executed over the next 13-15 months. The management sees 15-20%

growth potential for the business in FY20E. However, an adverse mix

could limit margins in the 17-18% range

Sales, costs and margins

FES margins were hurt by negative operating leverage (every 10,000

units have a 1% swing impact on margins). Gross margins were

impacted to the tune of ~150 bps each on account of lower volumes

and production cut. Production cut impact was one-off in nature. The

20-30 bps positive impact of lower commodity prices is expected to

continue

Escorts has stayed away from excess discounting. The industry has not

been facing a general increase in competitive intensity. The company

took a 1% price hike in April.

FES ASPs were higher QoQ due to non-tractor sales (~| 20,000/unit),

improvement in mix (~| 5,000/unit) & tractor price hike (~| 6,000/unit)

Other

Net debt was at (-) | 409 crore

Channel inventory stood at three to three and a half weeks of sales (vs.

four to five weeks for the industry). Finished goods inventory was at two

to three weeks of sales

FY20E capex guidance is for ~| 250-300 crore

Escorts is hopeful of electric tractor commercial launch by year end
