Read this report to find out: • Reasons for a major improvement expected in Bajaj Auto’s 2W exports • Why its exports markets provide structural opportunities for Bajaj Auto • Competitive scenario in various export markets A subdued exports outlook saw Bajaj Auto underperform its peers over the last year. We expect this trend to reverse with improving exports visibility due to stability in oil prices and currency depreciation in its key exports markets. We expect it to be a big beneficiary of a recovery in demand in LatAm and African markets due to its strong market share and better product quality vs. Chinese competitors. Historical analysis suggests a strong upside risk to our FY18 export volume growth of 17%. While we increase our EPS estimates marginally (by 3%) for FY18, we up our target multiple by 10% from 16x based on improved exports business outlook and a revival in the 2W (two‐wheeler) industry in India. We retain our Buy rating with a revised target price of Rs 3,300 (Rs 2,950 earlier). 2W exports: Recovering from the oil cyclicality Most of India’s 2W exports are to oil‐dependent countries; hence, the cyclical downturn in oil significantly impacted India’s 2W exports. Since Bajaj is the most dominant player in this segment, it was the most impacted. We see exports gradually recovering with: (1) oil prices stabilising after the recent jump from bottom, (2) currencies of major markets depreciating, and (3) dollar availability issues receding (as a result). Bajaj should report a 17% jump in export volumes in FY18 (after a 6% expected fall in FY17 and 4% fall in FY16). Exports are likely to benefit from a positive base from October 2016. Structurally, Bajaj’s exports markets are still lucrative African/Latin American countries contribute over 60% of Bajaj Auto’s exports volumes; our analysis of these markets suggests that they are in their initial growth stages, with average 2W penetration at just 3%/5%. Bajaj is a leading player in over 20 countries with strong brand presence; hence, it has first‐mover advantage. Given strong product portfolio, brand dominance, and better quality vs. Chinese manufacturers, Bajaj’s market share in these markets is likely to grow (we estimate market size at +5mn units p.a). With an impending improvement in retail demand and fundamentals, we see sequential improvement in volumes and Bajaj’s exports now posting a 17% growth in FY18 (vs. 14% seen earlier). Domestic: Holding strong Strong new launches helped Bajaj Auto report 17% yoy growth in domestic volumes in YTD FY17. While the new launch momentum will continue – with a new launch planned every quarter in FY17 – we expect it to benefit from the industry‐wide revival after a strong monsoon and a consumption boost with the seventh‐pay commission. We see 23%/14% growth in domestic volumes in FY17/18. Outlook and valuation: We increase our FY18 export volume growth estimate to 17% based on improving demand, and raise our target PE multiple by 10% from 16x earlier. We retain BUY with a revised TP of Rs3,300. Key drivers – vastly improved export outlook from H2FY17 and new launches in domestic markets.

Bajaj Auto’s stock price has underperformed its peers… Bajaj Auto’s stock price has underperformed its peers over the past year (see chart below) led by slumping exports volumes, despite impressive volume growth in the domestic industry. Subdued export markets not only erased gains in the domestic market, but also saw Bajaj Auto reporting flat to negative growth over the past year.

….but recovering export volumes will help undo damage We expect Bajaj Auto’s underperformance to stop with export volumes coming back. Stable oil prices after a jump from recent lows and depreciating currencies of key target markets will gradually ease USD availability issues. This in turn will have a positive impact on its export volumes.

Will the export juggernaut roll? It’s all about stable oil prices and USD availability in key export markets India’s 2W exports has seen an unprecedented 24% CAGR over the last decade, mainly led by penetrating newer and emerging markets of Africa and Latin America, and gaining market share from other manufacturers in these regions. In the sections below, we highlight recent trends, concerns, and why we remain bullish about the two‐wheeler exports opportunity. India’s 2W exports have seen 24% CAGR over the last decade…

Recent months have been worrying In recent months, demand was impacted mainly due to a sharp correction in oil prices, issues relating to availability of US dollars, and a sharp depreciation in African and LatAm countries’ currencies – 2W exports volumes between October 2015 and June 2016 fell 5% yoy. 2W exports have fallen off sharply recently

Oil Price 2W industry yoy growth
Source: Industry, Bloomberg, PhillipCapital India Research Oil price movements have a direct bearing on Bajaj Auto’s exports volumes. However, while a fall has an immediate impact on its volumes, a recovery is gradual after months of stable prices. Bajaj Auto saw a sharp decline in growth rates in early CY12 (with oil prices falling to US$ 100 from ~US$ 120), but volumes started recovering only a year later. Exports volumes staged a strong comeback for almost two years with oil prices remaining stable; only to fall again with oil prices falling from the end of CY14.

Oil Price Bajaj Volumes
Source: Company, Bloomberg, PhillipCapital India Research With oil prices/currencies stabilising, growth should resume After the sharp fall, crude oil prices have started inching up and have stabilised. Moreover, currencies in relevant African and LatAm countries have stabilised after a sharp depreciation vs. USD. This will gradually start easing currency availability issues, which was the biggest factor for declining volumes. All these factors (oil price stability, currency availability) will start having a positive effect on Bajaj Auto’s export volumes. The underlying assumption behind a volume uptick is the inherent strength in demand in these geographies. Data suggests immense scope for penetration‐led growth, which augurs well for Bajaj Auto’s long‐term growth potential. However, we do not expect this growth to be linear; it will be exposed to the vagaries of a commodity price environment. Oil prices have stabilised after recovering from recent lows Currencies of key markets have depreciated sharply

Market share: An additional growth avenue Chinese players still dominate a major part of African and Latin American 2W markets. Our analysis suggests that these players hold over 64% of the African 2W industry and over 53% of the Latin American market. Chinese two wheelers sell at a substantial discount to Indian and Japanese ones in these markets. However quality of 2Ws provided by Chinese manufacturers is very quite poor and after‐sales service is non‐existent; often, these motorcycles do not last for more than 2‐3years.

Bajaj and TVS have been able to penetrate well in these markets by providing quality products and by setting up distribution and sales/service networks that are similar to the ones they have in India. Their market share has more than tripled in Latin America– to 21% in 2015 from 7% in 2003, whereas it has seen a whopping rise in Africa– to 22% from 2%. We expect market share gains to continue, but the rate of increase is likely to moderate, given that India has already captured major shares from all other countries, except China.

Bajaj is the biggest beneficiary of the exports theme Bajaj Auto has seen a strong 10% CAGR in export volumes since FY09, despite its struggle in FY12‐16. Off India’s exports of 3Ws/2Ws, Bajaj dominates with over 69%/59% share. African and Latin American countries form over 63% of its exports, which provides great potential. We see demand rebounding as stabilising oil prices, depreciated currency, and latent demand provide all needed ingredients for a pickup in growth. Strong 10% export volume CAGR over the last seven years Africa is its largest export volume contributor (FY16)

Domestic market: New launch momentum to continue FY16 saw Bajaj Auto making a comeback in the domestic 2W market with a series of launches, which helped it to report strong growth and gain market share. The chart below highlights the impact of differentiated launches which boosted the overall market share for the company. The company launched seven products/refreshes in FY16 across its product segments (six 2Ws and one 3W), which helped it to report strong volume growth and increase its market share. Q1FY17 motorcycle market share was 19% vs. 16% share in FY15. Strong domestic growth led by success of new launches
