Result Update

Near term headwinds, recovery in FY20E…

Maruti Suzuki Ltd (MSIL) reported steady performance in Q2FY19

with optical out-performance led by higher other operating income

(~| 200 crore) on account of income from services from its parent.

Total operating income in Q2FY19 stood at | 22,433 crore, up 3.1%

YoY. ASP for the quarter came in at | 4.44 lakh/unit, flat YoY.

Discounting however was aggressive at | 18,750/unit, up 23% YoY

Volumes for Q2FY19 stood at 484,848 units, down 1.5% YoY. Of

this, the domestic volumes de-grew by 0.4% YoY to 455,400 units,

while the exports were down 15.2% YoY to 29,448 units.

EBITDA in Q2FY19 stood at | 3,431 crore with corresponding EBITDA

margins at 15.3%. EBITDA margins are up 40 bps on QoQ basis

largely factoring in cost reduction efforts undertaken by company

which were partially offset by higher sales promotion expense and

adverse foreign exchange movement.

PAT in Q2FY19 stood at | 2,240 crore, down 9.8%YoY

Management commentary cautiously optimistic over H2FY19!

The management sounded cautious on rising cost of ownership of vehicle

owing to higher insurance (blended hike by ~| 9000/unit; ~2% of vehicle

costs), fuel (up nearly 17-25%) as well financing costs (up 35 bps) which

is leading somewhat postposing of purchase by consumers and

consequent slowdown in demand in the PV space domestically. Festive

season too is a lacklustre, resulting in largely flat sales at the retail level. In

the exports market the situation is no different wherein growth is a

challenge amidst currency headwinds and imposition of import tariffs in

key markets. The management however re-iterated its commitment

towards double digit volume growth for FY19E. Sensing the demand

slowdown as well as new launch by one of its key competitor in the

passenger car market we have revised downward our volume estimates

for MSIL going forward. We now expect volumes at MSIL to grow at a

CAGR of 9.0% (11.5% earlier) over FY18-20E to 21.2 lakh units in FY20E.

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 H1FY19. 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 7 models out of top 10 PV models sold domestically. Going

forward from the customer perspective it still remains a prominent brand

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

which warrants it to be held in one’s portfolio on long term basis.

Margins to recover in FY20E, B/s positives persists, maintain HOLD!

Management commentary suggest margins to remain muted in H2FY19

primarily tracking impact of INR deprecation on input costs which comes

with a quarterly lag. This will be partially offsetted against cost cutting

undertaken by the company. Going forward, as INR stabilises in FY20E

and structural decline in royalty as well as operating leverage benefits we

expect margins to recover in FY20E. Revising our estimates, we now

expect Sales, EBITDA, PAT of 11,12,14% respectively over FY18-20E. We

value MSIL at | 7250 i.e. 22x P/E on FY20E EPS of | 330 and assign HOLD

rating on the stock. Key positives which remain with MSIL is its cash

surplus balance sheet (~15% market cap), negative working capital cycle,

healthy 20%+ RoCE, ~6% CFO yield and ~4% FCF yield.

Conference Call Highlights

Management Outlook/Guidance & Demand

Company sounded guarded on earlier guidance of double digit

growth this year. While it was on track thus far in H1FY19,

H2FY19E has been impacted by issues surrounding cost of

ownership viz. fuel, insurance and financing.

Company is hopeful of pent-up demand emerging over next

couple of months in Kerala, UP, Uttrakhand and some other

eastern states which have been flood-affected in the recent past.

Retail side festive demand has been flat thus far. However,

company remains hopeful about the approaching Diwali season.

On a YoY basis urban centres including Mumbai and Gujarat have

experienced soft demand while rural pockets have registered 13%

growth on the back of higher disposable incomes and good

monsoons.

Company reported that 63% of domestic PV volumes were in the

petrol segment.

It will be an uphill task for the company to match last year’s

export growth due to higher relative currency depreciation of

other economies vis-à-vis Indian Rupee and rising trade

protectionism.

Company remains bullish on its LCV division where it is currently

the second largest player and has sizeable network strength in the

segment that it operates into.

Company sees CNG as an immediate agent for change while

remaining upbeat about electrification and hybridization prospects

as well.

Revenue & Margins

Company’s cost reduction efforts mitigated the combined ~350

bps impact of commodity prices (~120 bps), exchange rate

movement (~120 bps) and product discounts (~130 bps).

Company expects lesser impact of steel prices in H2FY19E than

what was seen in H1FY19. Forex impact however is likely to

impact earnings in H2FY19

Exports at | 1,427 crore for Q2FY19 amounted to ~7% of overall

sales.

Others

60% of the company’s royalty payments are made in Japanese

Yen while the rest are made in Indian Rupees.

Imports amounted to 18% of net sales, of which 5% were direct

and 13% were indirect.

Other operating income included some amount is respect of

recovery of engineering services fees from parent Suzuki. A figure

amounting to ~| 200 crore is a one-off. A variable quantum of

such fees will likely be earned per quarter going forward as well.

Gujarat plant produced ~67000 units in this quarter. Next line for

the plant will be commissioned in early 2019 and the third line in

mid-2020, each with a capacity of 2.5 lakh p.a. By 2020 at

~750,000 p.a. capacity and with ancillary set up being developed

in Gujarat, MSIL’s Gujarat plant is expected to nearly match

Haryana plant on localisation content levels.

Company Analysis

Management commentary cautiously optimistic over H2FY19!

The management sounded cautious on rising cost of ownership of vehicle

owing to higher insurance (blended hike by ~| 9000/unit; ~2% of vehicle

costs), fuel (up nearly 17-25%) as well financing costs (up 350 bps) which

is leading somewhat postposing of purchase by consumers and

consequent slowdown in demand in the PV space domestically. Festive

season too is a lacklustre, resulting in largely flat sales at the retail level. In

the exports market the situation is no different wherein growth is a

challenge amidst currency headwinds and imposition of import tariffs in

key markets. The management however re-iterated its commitment

towards double digit volume growth for FY19E. Sensing the demand

slowdown as well as new launch by one of its key competitor in the

passenger car market we have revised downward our volume estimates

for MSIL going forward. We now expect volumes at MSIL to grow at a

CAGR of 9.0% (11.5% earlier) over FY18-20E to 21.2 lakh units in FY20E.

Consequently, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 11.5 over FY18-

20E to | 99,109 crore in FY20E (| 79,763 crore in FY18). On the back of

near term headwinds, EBITDA margins are expected to taper to 15.0% in

FY19 and then recover to 15.4% as INR stabilises in FY20E. PAT at MSIL

is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.6% to | 9,959 crore in FY20E.

Exports challenging amidst 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 nearly flat over FY18-20E. The muted outlook is governed

by complex currency headwinds as well as imposition of tariffs on car

imports in various markets globally.

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 H1FY19. 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 7 models out of top 10 PV models sold domestically. Going

forward from the 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 decline with better demand sentiment, new launches

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 (that do not offer any discounts) and facelifts will lead

to an improved product mix that will effectively reduce the discount

levels. Discount on small cars (Alto, Wagon R) is broadly linked to the

broad macro environment. These discounts will reduce with improving

macroeconomic conditions. We expect a reduction in average discounts

from | 17,853 in FY19E to | 15,000 in FY20E.

Outlook and Valuation

Management commentary suggest margins to remain muted in H2FY19

primarily tracking impact of INR deprecation on input costs which comes

with a quarterly lag. This will be partially offsetted against cost cutting

undertaken by the company. Going forward, as INR stabilises in FY20E

and structural decline in royalty as well as operating leverage benefits we

expect margins to recover in FY20E. Revising our estimates, we now

expect Sales, EBITDA, PAT of 11,12,14% respectively over FY18-20E. We

value MSIL at | 7250 i.e. 22x P/E on FY20E EPS of | 330 and assign HOLD
