Slight miss on revenue was due to lower than estimated price hike. ASP was flat QoQ (our estimate: 1%) to | 1,18,739. VECV revenues were at | 1972 crore, higher than our estimate of | 1936 crore, with the beat due to higher than estimated ASP Standalone EBITDA came in at | 552 crore in line with our estimate of | 552 crore.

The VECV business EBITDA was flat YoY at | 143 crore (our estimate: | 176 crore) with EBITDA margins of 7.2%, lower than our estimate of 8.8%, due to an unfavourable product mix Consequently, standalone PAT grew 73% YoY/17.5% QoQ to | 396 crore vs. our estimate of | 391 crore. Consolidated PAT grew 45% YoY, 10% QoQ to | 413 crore vs. our estimate of | 435 crore RE business - demand remains strong RE demand remains strong, with volumes in top 20 cities growing 15% plus and waiting period for its most successful model Classic 350 cc model at three months. EML has said its current production rate of ~60,000/month will continue till Q2FY18. Post the commencement of its third plant at Vallam Vadagal, its total capacity will go up to 900,000 units in FY19. With the dealership in smaller towns turning viable, the company continues to increase its dealer network. EML is looking to capture the under-penetrated 250-750 cc market globally and has already opened exclusive stores in Colombia, two in UK, one each in UAE, France, Spain and Indonesia. VECV gaining market share In FY14-16, growth in the domestic MHCV industry has been driven by the heavy duty multi-axle vehicle (MAV) and tractor trailer segment. VECV has underperformed industry growth mainly due to concentration of VECV’s product portfolio towards intermediate commercial vehicle (ICV- 7.5-12 tonne), which are mainly used as distribution vehicles. ICV forms ~39% of VECV’s product portfolio. Going ahead, we expect the next phase of growth in MHCV to come from medium duty vehicles due to the trickle-down effect, which will benefit VECV most as it is a market leader in the ICV segment. VECV domestic volumes have grown ~22% outpacing industry growth of 6% in H1FY17. Strong earnings growth visibility demands rich valuations EML has justifiably commanded a premium over other auto OEs as RE’s business is in full throttle and VECV reaps the benefits of an economic revival. We maintain peer valuation parameters (relative valuation vis-à- vis HOG’s high growth phase) and ascribe a multiple of 33xFY18E EPS for RE, VECV at 11x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively, to arrive at an SOTP target price of | 28000.

Company Analysis Our demographic analysis reveals that in the coming decade (2021) we could witness the share of the 15-40 years age population declining to 60% from 64% of total driveable population (>15<70 years). We observe that the first generation Splendor (Launched 1994) driving population (15>) would have been born <1980s. The same generation in 2014 would be aged ~ 34+ highlighting that as we move into 2021 the same class of buyers would be >42+. We assume that a bulk of 2-W drivers would be young (15-40 years). Thus, we interpret the fact that as we move into the next decade, bulk of the young population i.e. (>15<30 years- Gen Z) would have been born in the nineties and beyond, thereby having vastly different purchase habits and priorities (e.g. mileage/affordability vs. brand perception/comfort to their fathers (born <1980’s- Gen Y). Royal Enfield (RE), the world’s oldest active motorcycle brand, with its uniquely classical and powerful bikes, always enjoyed cult status among bike lovers. However, in the recent past, the new Indian emerging higher middle class have taken to it with few comparables. Exhibit 1: Young India to be big buyer class in next decade

Strong performance from “cult” RE, as volumes grow exponentially…

Acquired by the Eicher group in 1993, the company has made investments to build state-of-the-art manufacturing and product development facilities and a wide marketing network while developing a riding culture centred around leisure and adventure, thereby becoming the market leader in the premium motorcycle segment in India. RE’s volume CAGR in CY09-FY16 has been an astonishing 48%, albeit on a small base. However, large unfulfilled demand for RE products, especially in the 350 cc segment, makes us positive on the sustenance of growth as capacity expands. With newer product launches and export markets likely to be tapped, demand is likely to outstrip supply even with expanded capacity (~9 lakh units in CY18E). With a strong brand presence and long waiting periods, RE’s pricing power coupled with economies of scale have ensured that margins have remained on an uptrend. Going ahead, we expect margins to stabilise upwards of ~30% in FY17E, FY18E.

VECV contribution to profit to remain meaningful Eicher and Volvo entered into a 50:50 JV in 2008 to which Eicher moved its truck & bus business. Also, Volvo invested | 1082 crore in the JV and added its HD trucks distribution business for a 45.6% stake. In the ensuing five years, the JV, VECV trucks outpaced industry growth, increasing market share to ~13% from 9% in FY08. In the bus segment (>5 T), VECV has doubled its market share to ~12%. On the financial front, VECV’s performance has been best in the industry with margins declining to ~5% when margins of its peers dropped to the negative territory (down ~5% for Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors). VECV now has a strong distribution network comparable with incumbents – Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland. The VECV brand name has established itself among fleet owners while the launch of the new state-of the art Pro-series trucks would catalyse market share gains in coming years. Going ahead, we build in improvement in margins from current levels to ~8.3%, 9.7% in FY17E, FY18E, respectively, on the back of a better product mix and higher utilisation levels.

Strong overall financial performance

With an increase in competitive intensity amid cyclical weakness in the ICV segment of M&HCV, VECV’s performance has dropped off in the past two years. However, RE’s strong performance has offset the weakness in the truck & bus segment. In our view, VECV’s performance is likely to improve with the recovery in the domestic M&HCV industry. We expect the topline to grow at ~15% CAGR in FY16-18E (FY16E is a 15 month fiscal) while PAT is likely to grow at ~34% CAGR in FY16-FY18E as margins improve from 15.9% in FY16 to 19.5% in FY18E.

Return ratios remain on uptrend margins, profitability improve

With Royal Enfield’s strong franchisee driving profitability, the overall business has been able to maintain decent return ratios despite the weakness in the VECV side of the business, which had seen a sharp drop in capacity utilisation levels. Going ahead, as RE volumes ramp up in the new facility, coupled with a better performance from VECV on a revival in industrial activity levels, return ratios are likely to remain on the uptrend.

Key annual report highlight • Eicher Motors (EML) is a leading player in the Indian automotive

space with three business verticals – 1) motorcycles (with Royal Enfield brand), 2) commercial vehicles (through VECV) and 3) personal utility vehicles (with the brand Multix)

• RE believes the potential of the mid-size motorcycle market globally is

much larger than its current size. With low penetration levels these markets are similar to India with enormous potential to upgrade to the mid-sized motorcycles. Thus, the demand for mid-segment motorcycles will continue to grow & benefit RE going forward

• RE has emerged as a dominant player in the global mid-size (250 cc to

750 cc) motorcycle market. RE’s market share in the overall Indian motorcycle industry has grown from 1.9% in FY14 to 4.7% in FY16. However, its share in engine displacement of 150 cc & above motorcycles has grown 12% in FY14 to 22.2% in FY16 while its share in engine displacement of 250 cc and above motorcycle has risen from 93% in FY14 to 96.1% in FY16 in India. Further, in the last few years, it has been focusing on growing its presence in international markets. The global strategy combines its learning from the success in India and is calibrated for specific international geographies

• Royal Enfield has substantially expanded & upgraded its pan-India

distribution network. In 2015, Royal Enfield added >100 new dealerships to strengthen its retail presence in India. RE operates through 17 company operated stores and >500 dealers in all major cities and towns in India, and exports to over 50 countries across the world. Over the last two years, the brand has set up 12 exclusive RE stores in key international cities, including five in Colombia, two in London and one each in Jakarta, Bangkok, Paris, Madrid and Dubai

• RE’s growth has been driven by design and development of products.

In May 2015, RE acquired the brand, technical know-how, intellectual property and the business of UK-based Harris Performance Products, one of the leading experts in designing, manufacturing and marketing motorcycle chassis and components

• In FY16, the company commenced construction of technical centres

in Chennai, India and in UK, which will strengthen its product development capability. It is also investing | 600 crore towards setting up two technical centres, product development, enhancing its manufacturing capacity & market development activities across geographies

• The company launched the Himalayan, a motorcycle purpose-built for

adventure and touring in the Himalayas in March, 2016 • Its trucks and buses business did very well in all segments during

FY16 thereby increasing its market share in light medium duty trucks (5-15 ton) to 33.9%, 4.0% in heavy duty trucks, and 15.8% in buses

• Post the remarkable performance of the Pro series range of trucks &

buses, VECV successfully launched new variants in the Pro 6000 and the Pro 8000 series across the country

• VECV plans to invest | 400 crore towards product development &

capacity expansion

Outlook and valuation Eicher’s business performance has been strong with Royal Enfield seeming unfazed by the slowdown in the Indian economy. With Indians lapping up cruiser bikes from Royal Enfield and witnessing huge waiting periods, RE has now enhanced its capacity and looks set to make hay as the proverbial sun continues to shine. We believe RE is set to trace a similar path to Harley-Davidson’s (HOG) high growth phase (1998-2003). During this period where topline, bottomline grew ~2.5x, ~3.5x with EBITDA margins expanding from ~19% to ~27% and RoEs improved from 23% to 29%, respectively, HOG’s average valuations were >30x on one-year forward basis/PEG for two-year forward averaged ~0.6x (1998-2003). Prior to this high growth phase, HOG was able to grow its topline only by 2x in the preceding 10 years and exploded in the next five years. All these valuations need to be digested with the mature market multiples the US market would typically enjoy. In case of RE, in the last five years, revenue growth was ~14x. However, till FY18E, we expect profitability at 29% CAGR. We believe with similar financials panning out for RE, its valuations are likely to replicate HOG’s journey.

EML has justifiably commanded a premium over other auto OEs as RE’s business is in full throttle, VECV reaps the benefits of the economic revival. We maintain peer valuation parameters (relative valuation vis-à-vis HOG’s high growth phase) and ascribe a multiple of 33xFY17E EPS for RE, VECV at 11x FY17E EV/EBITDA, respectively. Considering Royal Enfield caters to the second largest two-wheeler market in the world with dominant market share positioning and superior financials vis-à-vis HOG (during 1998-2003), we believe RE could trade at a premium to HOG’s multiple considering the mature market nature of developed economies. Furthermore, on the VECV front, we value it at domestic CV manufacturers’ average multiple at 11x FY17E EV/EBITDA. Thus, we arrive at an SOTP target price of | 28,000. We have a BUY recommendation on the stock.
