Result Update Missed estimates, Core strength remains intact While coronavirus outbreak continues to dampen near term PVs demand, we maintain our thesis that Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) is best positioned to tap the long term potential of the domestic PV market with (1) network strength, (2) strong rural presence and 3) product positioning (continued market dominance in the entry-level car segment). Also, the strong balance sheet will help tide over the COVID- led disruption and provide financial capability to support dealers, vendors, and staff. Maruti’s Q4FY20 revenue and EBITDA missed our estimates. Revenue was `182bn (down 15% YoY), due to a 16% de-growth in volume, which was offset by a 1% increase in net ASP. EBITDA stood 8.5% (-205bps YoY, -165bps QoQ, versus our estimate of 8.9%), dragged by a negative operating leverage and a high advertisement cost. However, we expect rural economy to witness better traction from 2QFY21 onwards, as it remained least impacted from COVID-led disruption and healthy Rabi output, it should benefit MSIL, which derives about 40% volume from the rural markets. We expect a potential earning recovery in FY22, driven by a 13% volume growth and a 250bps margin expansion on a low base. Given the long-term volume and margin levers in place (beyond FY21), we expect the company to continue to command high multiple. We recommend to Accumulate, with a TP of `5,570 (based on 24x FY22E). Rural recovery and low base to support growth in FY22 While the timing is debatable given Covid-19 uncertainty and weak macro- economic conditions, we believe MSIL’s volume can continue to grow at 5- 6% CAGR in the medium-to-long term While the lockdown is being lifted in a phased manner starting 20th Apr’20, we believe it would take at least 3- 4 months for both demand and supply side to normalize. We expect MSIL to experience volume recovery from 3QFY20 onwards, due to 1) traction in entry/compact segment (preference back to personal mobility, from shared or public transport), 2) the start of the festival season demand, 3) recovery in rural demand, and 4) low base.

Missed estimates, Core strength remains intact
While coronavirus outbreak continues to dampen near term PVs demand, we maintain our thesis that Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) is best positioned to tap the long term potential of the domestic PV market with (1) network strength, (2) strong rural presence and 3) product positioning (continued market dominance in the entry-level car segment). Also, the strong balance sheet will help tide over the COVID-led disruption and provide financial capability to support dealers, vendors, and staff.
Maruti’s Q4FY20 revenue and EBITDA missed our estimates. Revenue was ̀ 182bn (down 15% YoY), due to a 16% de-growth in volume, which was offset by a 1% increase in net ASP. EBITDA stood 8.5% (-205bps YoY, -165bps QoQ, versus our estimate of 8.9%), dragged by a negative operating leverage and a high advertisement cost.
However, we expect rural economy to witness better traction from 2QFY21 onwards, as it remained least impacted from COVID-led disruption and healthy Rabi output, it should benefit MSIL, which derives about 40% volume from the rural markets.
We expect a potential earning recovery in FY22, driven by a 13% volume growth and a 250bps margin expansion on a low base. Given the long-term volume and margin levers in place (beyond FY21), we expect the company to continue to command high multiple. We recommend to Accumulate, with a TP of `5,570 (based on 24x FY22E).
Rural recovery and low base to support growth in FY22 While the timing is debatable given Covid-19 uncertainty and weak macro-economic conditions, we believe MSIL’s volume can continue to grow at 5-6% CAGR in the medium-to-long term While the lockdown is being lifted in a phased manner starting 20th Apr’20, we believe it would take at least 3-4 months for both demand and supply side to normalize. We expect MSIL to experience volume recovery from 3QFY20 onwards, due to 1) traction in entry/compact segment (preference back to personal mobility, from shared or public transport), 2) the start of the festival season demand, 3) recovery in rural demand, and 4) low base. Q4FY20 Result (` Mn)
Near term margin to remain under pressure, recovery expected from FY22 We expect MSIL’s EBITDA margin to remain under pressure in FY21, due to (1) a weak product mix (higher mix of entry-level cars and lower mix of SUV segment), with low visibility of product launches in the SUV segment, (2) low capacity utilization and 3) absence of diesel variants. We expect recovery in margin from FY22, driven by operating leverage, commodity tailwinds and cost cutting measures. Products suitable for the current income levels in India In our view, Maruti offers strong visibility for sustained volume growth, due to its product positioning, which is suited for the current income levels in India. Maruti's cars offer high fuel efficiency, low maintenance cost (cost of spares), and the best resale value. India is still in the early stage of penetration for cars, and affordability is a key driver of buying decisions, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. Maruti’s unmatched distribution, leadership in PCs/UVs, and scale-driven supply chain efficiency are likely to help it sustain ahead-of-industry growth. Superior scale and distribution network enable Maruti to cater a wider customer base than peers.
Conference Call Highlights Management believe near term demand is quite uncertain, due to Covid-19,
and said it is difficult to predict recovery of the economy and consumer sentiment. Initial trend suggests that demand is only for past bookings. Until date, 1100 showroom has been re-opened across India and delivered 2,500 cars.
However, enquires have increased for low budget cars. There will be a change in trend as people will prefer personal transport to public transport. For the industry, the first time buyer constitutes 45-47% of overall demand and for MSIL it is slightly higher.
Although near term demand will continue to be weak as the COVID-led disruption has been unprecedented for the business and economy, car buying is a discretionary purchase and depends on sentiment. Any positive news can be favorable for the PV industry.
The ramp-up of plant operations for OEMs will depend on supplies from ancillaries. The company has 400 Tier 1 suppliers and 3000 Tier 2 suppliers, which are spread in nine states. The company is hopeful to ramp up production after resolving supply issue. The Manesar plant started production from 12th May while the Gurgaon plant is likely to open from next week. However, resumption of the Gujarat plant is uncertain, due to the large number of Covid cases.
The discount was Rs.19,051/unit in 4QFY20, compared to Rs.33,000/unit in Q3FY20 and Rs.15,124/unit in 4QFY19. The management said it is difficult to predict whether the discounts will decrease or increase in the next few months.
The Q4FY20 margins were impacted by: 1) weaker product mix, 2) increase in discounts, 3) sales promotion expenses, and 4) negative operating leverage.
The rural: urban ratio was 38:62 and broad customer profile is salaried about 45% (50:50 government and private)/business 35%, self-employed 11-12%, and other 8-9%.
Royalty was 5.4% for Q4FY20, and for full year it was 5.3%.
All treasury investment was in AAA portfolio, no write off was required. The fall in interest rate may lead to other income in FY21.
Capex for FY20 was `32.48bn and the company expects to spend `27bn in FY21.
