NPM 14.4 15.9 (151) bps 14.9 (44) bps Source: Company, RSec Research In-line Performance; Margin to Remain under Pressure Bajaj Auto (BAL) has delivered broadly in-line operating performance in 4QFY19 with its EBIDTA margin contracting by 370bps YoY (+11bps QoQ) to 15.7% vs. our estimate of 15.6%. Aided by 14% YoY (-5% QoQ) growth in volume to 1.19mn units, its revenue grew by 9% YoY (flat on QoQ basis) to Rs73.9bn vs. our estimate of Rs71.8bn. ASP declined by 4% YoY, but rose by 5% QoQ led by better product-mix and favourable exchange rate. EBIDTA declined by 12% YoY (+0.5% QoQ) due to lower realisation, while adjusted PAT (Adjusted for extra ordinary gain of Rs3.42bn on account of reversal of contingent duty charges) fell by 1% YoY and 3% QoQ to Rs10.7bn (vs. our estimate of Rs10.4bn). PAT was also benefitted by higher non-operating income and lower tax rate. Higher commodity prices and limited ability to pass on the same led to 293bps YoY rise in RM/Sales to 72.3%, while other expenditure and employee cost remained under control. In view of Management’s preference on market share over margin growth, we expect BAL’s volume to clock 10% CAGR over FY19-FY21E. while margin is expected to fall by ~100bps. Lower export growth, margin pressure, moderation in return ratios and expensive valuation post recent run up justify Downgrade. Therefore, we Downgrade BAL to REDUCE. Tough Times Ahead; Margin to Remain under Pressure We expect domestic market to witness slowdown owing to higher system inventory and likely lower demand in 1HFY20E. Moreover, we expect the automobile industry to witness down-cycle in FY21E. We also expect exports growth to taper down on high base and lower crude price. Though BAL’s key exports geographies of Middle East and Africa are witnessing decent traction, growth is tapering down on a high base. Moreover, passing on the higher cost inflation due to BS-VI implementation during down-cycle would be rather the biggest challenge for the auto makers, going forward which will drag their operating margins. We expect BAL’s EBIDTA margin to decrease by 100bps to 15.5% over FY19-FY21E. Outlook & Valuation Looking ahead, we expect BAL to gain further volume and market shares on the back of aggressive pricing and marketing strategy over FY19-FY21. As we have already factored in the management’s strategy , we broadly maintain our estimates for FY20E/FY21E. In view of expensive valuation, post recent price run-up, lower growth in exports, margin pressure and moderation in return ratio, we downgrade our recommendation on the stock to REDUCE from HOLD with unrevised Target Price of Rs2,550, valuing it at 13x FY21E EPS and adding Rs100/share for its stake in KTM.

Conference Call – Key Takeaways

f Thrust on Market Share at the Cost of Margin to Continue: The Management

expects company’s ongoing strong momentum in domestic motorcycle segment to

continue in FY20 as well due to new product launches coupled with its own thrust on

market share. BAL looks forward to increase its market share to 24% over the next 2

years from ~20% currently. The Company plans to launch 8-9 new models (majority

would be upgrades) in next one year.

f Good Traction in Export Markets, but Growth to Taper Down: The Management

has guided for a decent growth in exports volume in FY20E. It remains positive on new

markets and expects healthy volume from revival of African markets. However, growth

from these markets would taper down and adding volume from new geographies may

take overall export growth to double-digit, going ahead. Few territories like Middle-

East, Iran, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Latin America etc have been facing turbulence in volume in

recent times, which may drag exports growth.

f Margin to Remain under Pressure despite Price Hike: Though BAL hiked prices

in 3QFY19 and 4QFY19 to pass on higher commodity prices, the hike is not sufficient

to override cost escalation. The Management indicated that higher advertisement

expenses towards building global brand have impacted its margin performance in the

quarter. Going forward, citing weaker domestic volume, tapering of export growth and

competition may remain challenge for any meaningful expansion in margin. Looking

ahead, we expect BAL’s margin to remain under pressure over the next 2 years and fall

by 100bps over FY19-21E.

f Cash & Cash Equivalents: BAL’s Cash & Cash Equivalents stood at Rs163.7bn as of

FY19-end compared to Rs155.4bn as of FY18-end.

Risks to the View f Success of new launches.

f Sharp drop in input prices.

f Strong revival in rural demand.

f Favourable exchange rate.
