Result Update

Muted growth to limit valuation multiples…

Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) reported a dismal Q3FY19 performance

Total operating income in Q3FY19 was at | 19,668 crore, up 2.0%

YoY. ASP for the quarter came in at | 4.42 lakh/unit, up 0.5% YoY.

However, discounting was aggressive at | 24,300/unit, up 30% QoQ

Volumes for Q3FY19 were at 428,643 units, down 0.6% YoY. Of this,

domestic volumes grew 1.3% YoY to 405,597 units while exports

were down 25.0% YoY to 23,046 units. MSIL had to push extra

90,000 units at the retail level due to higher channel inventory with

consequent inventory levels now normalising at December 2018 end

EBITDA in Q3FY19 was at | 1,931 crore with corresponding EBITDA

margins at 9.8%. EBITDA margins came in subdued primarily

tracking higher raw material costs, adverse foreign exchange rate as

well as higher sales & marketing expenses including launch cost of

new Ertiga. Employee costs came in higher tracking execution of

new wage bill as well as one-time actuarial valuation (~| 48 crore)

PAT in Q3FY19 was at | 1,489 crore, down 17.0% YoY

New facelifts to help revive sales, retain market leadership!

In the recent past, MSIL has launched two new facelifts of its top selling

models i.e. Ertiga and WagonR. MSIL has come out with a refreshed

version loaded with all new age technology and consumer friendly

features bundled at the right price thereby giving strong competition to

upcoming models in the marketplace in the similar segment. We expect

this to help Maruti retain its market leadership with the company already

outperforming the industry in 9MFY19. Total domestic sales growth for

MSIL was at 7.2% vs. 4.4% for the industry, leading to 165 bps gain in

market share to 51.65% as of December 2018 vs. 50% as of FY18. Maruti

still remains the preferred choice for first time buyers and is poised to

benefit from low penetration of passenger vehicles domestically. The

company commands strong support from its nationwide dealer network

of ~3000 dealers with rural slate at ~39%.+.

Single digit volume growth, P/E multiple’s mean reversion to follow!

Purely considering the financials, past study of volume growth and one

year forward P/E multiple at MSIL throws up an interesting insight. MSIL

has never commanded one year forward P/E multiples significantly higher

than 20x while clocking volume growth at <10%. It exactly symbolises

the present times wherein the company is expected to post overall

volume growth of 6.2% in FY19E & 7.2% in FY20E. This is expected to

lead its one year forward P/E multiple to revert back to its mean.

Capital efficiency to the core, healthy B/S, retain HOLD!

MSIL has a capital efficiency business model wherein it realises ~3x asset

turnover, operates with negative working capital cycle as well as realises

~13-15% EBITDA margins thereby realising core RoIC at ~50%+. It also

has a debt free, cash rich B/S with surplus cash at ~| 34,000 crore. Going

forward, however, the demand scenario is expected to be subdued, amid

customers postponing their purchase and increasing penetration of

shared mobility. It is also expected to be muted given peaking penetration

of PVs in metro cities, which have high purchasing power. We expect

volume growth to be muted at MSIL with FY18-20E overall volume CAGR

growth pegged at 6.7%. Consequent net sales & PAT CAGR is expected at

8.0% & 5.5%, respectively. We value MSIL at | 6000 i.e. 21x P/E on FY20E

EPS of | 284 and maintain our HOLD rating on the stock. We draw

comfort from healthy cash flow generation at MSIL with average CFO

yield at ~6% and consequent FCF yield at ~4%.

Conference Call Highlights

Management outlook/guidance & demand

According to the company, the market remains under pressure

with retail demand still subdued amid worries on the ownership

cost perspective. The industry is now expected to post 4.5% YoY

volume growth in FY19E although the company is poised to

growth faster. Retail sales at MSIL in 9MFY19 stood at 4.9% YoY.

Exports are expected to clock flat volumes in FY20 over FY19E on

the back of import restriction in key markets like Indonesia

The rural segment (39% of overall pie) has exhibited 13% growth

against a flattish urban segment

MSIL undertook significant inventory liquidation efforts in

December to aid dealers post the disappointing festive season

offtake, helping retail 90,000 units

Response to new launches Ertiga and WagonR is strong, with

order levels to the tune of 55,000 units and 14,000 units

respectively. Waiting period of Ertiga is high at 28 weeks

Revenue & margins

Discounts in Q3FY19 amounted to ~| 24,300 per unit

A sequential slide in EBITDA margins of ~300 bps was the result

of higher commodity prices (~100 bps), higher sales promotion

expenses (~100 bps), adverse exchange rate movement (~50

bps) and inventory adjustment efforts (~30 bps)

MSIL also incurred incremental sales & marketing expenses

amounting to ~| 78 crore on QOQ basis.

Depreciation expense increase was owning to commissioning of

some new machineries.

Employee expenses spiked in Q3FY19 owing to implementation

of wage enhancement mechanism and one-off actuarial valuation

impact of ~| 48 crore

Thus far, MSIL has taken a price hike of ~70 bps in Q4FY19

Exports revenue for Q3FY19 was to the tune of | 1,158 crore

Royalty payments for Q3FY19 amounted to ~5.5% of revenues

Others

Six models (Ignis, Dzire, Brezza, Swift, Ertiga and WagonR) have

been shifted to the new rupee denominated royalty formula. The

entire product portfolio is expected to make the switch by 2022

Gujarat plant produced ~58,000 units in Q3FY19 against ~67,000

units in Q2FY19 and ~36,000 units in Q3FY18

MSIL usually enters into a relatively longer dated six month or

three month contracts for procuring its key material i.e. steel,

while it enters into monthly contracts for procuring aluminium

Company Analysis

New facelifts encouraging; to help revive sales, retain market leadership!

MSIL in the recent past has launched to new facelifts of its top selling

models i.e. Ertiga and WagonR. MSIL has come out with refreshed

version loaded with all new age technology and consumer friendly

features bundled at the right price thereby giving strong competition to

the upcoming models in the market place in the similar segment. We

expect this to help Maruti retain its market leadership with company

already outperforming the industry in 9MFY19. Total domestic sales

growth at MSIL was at 7.2% vs. 4.4% for the industry leading to 165 bps

gain in market share to 51.65% as of December 2018 vs. 50% as of FY18.

Maruti still remains the preferred choice for first time buyers and is set to

benefit from low penetration of passenger vehicles domestically. The

company commands strong support from its nationwide dealer network

of ~3000 dealers with rural slate at ~39%.+. We expect volumes at MSIL

to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% in FY18-20E to 20.3 lakh units in FY20E.

Consequently, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% in FY18-

20E to | 93,113 crore in FY20E (| 79,763 crore in FY18). On the back of

near term headwinds, EBITDA margins are expected to taper to 13.4% in

FY19 and then recover to 14.2% as the rupee stabilises in FY20E. PAT at

MSIL is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% to | 8,593 crore in FY20E.

Exports challenging amid currency headwinds and tariffs!

Suzuki is aiming to let MSIL grow as a low-cost brand to target markets

such as Africa. MSIL already contributes ~45% to Suzuki’s global profits.

As such, Suzuki’s strategy to make MSIL its global export hub for low

priced products is logical. Currently, as of FY18, exports form ~7% of

total sales for MSIL. However, in the near term, export volumes are

expected to be muted given adverse foreign exchange rates as well as

inward looking policies (import restrictions) in key export nations.

Market leadership maintained, across segments!

MSIL has been a market leader and outperformed industry in the past. Its

market share increased from ~47% in FY17 to ~50% in FY18 to further

~52% in 9MFY19. It has been done by introducing new and impressive

models at an appropriate time suiting to the market needs. It enjoys

market leadership across segments namely- PC, UV and vans. Currently

its top selling models include Swift, Dzire, Baleno among others and

possesses seven models out of top 10 PV models sold domestically.

Going forward, from a customer perspective, it still remains a prominent

brand owing to: low cost of ownership & high dealer and servicing

network. We expect MSIL to maintain its market leadership position,

going forward.

Discounting levels to remain elevated, citing muted demand prospect

In an intensely competitive industry struggling with a demand slowdown,

the increase in discounting levels to gain volumes is expected. As the

market leader, MSIL had also been forced to give incentives to ward off

competition and retain market share. However, we believe the new

products launches and facelifts will lead to an improved product mix that

will limit the aggressive discounts going forward. However, with muted

demand prospects at the marketplace we expect discount levels to

sustain at ~| 20,000/unit in FY19-20E.

Outlook and Valuation

MSIL has a capital efficiency business model wherein it realises ~3x asset

turnover, operates with negative working capital cycle as well as realises

~13-15% EBITDA margins thereby realising core RoIC at ~50%+. It also

has a debt free, cash rich B/S with surplus cash at ~| 34,000 crore. Going

forward, however, the demand scenario is expected to be subdued, amid

customers postponing their purchase as well as increasing penetration of

shared mobility. It is also expected to be muted given peaking penetration

of PVs in metro cities, which have high purchasing power. We expect

volume growth to be muted with FY18-20E overall volume CAGR pegged

at 6.7%. Consequent net sales & PAT CAGR is expected at 8.0% & 5.5%,

respectively. We value MSIL at | 6000 i.e. 21x P/E on FY20E EPS of | 284

and retain our HOLD rating on the stock. We draw comfort from healthy

cash flow generation at MSIL with average CFO yield at ~6% and

consequent FCF yield at ~4%.
