Market share gains continue; retain Buy

Buy
17 October 2014
Strong brand franchise helps maintain market share gains QoQ: Dealer
interaction revealed that brand franchise of Splendor and Passion models continued
to be strong (driven by low maintenance and better resale value vs. peers) and
Maestro in the scooter segment was also doing well. This was reflected in the
company’s ability to raise HMCL’s market share in the domestic motorcycle segment
to 52.1% compared to 51.8% in FY14 and 48.8% in 2QFY14.
Valuation & Risks: We continue to like HMCL given its ability to retain market share
and strong presence in the fast growing scooter segment and rural markets. We
retain Buy with TP of Rs3,230 (based on 16x September 2016E EPS). Key downside
risks are 1) Failure of new indigenous products launched by HMCL and 2) Higher
than expected success of Discover models of Bajaj Auto.

HMCL’s cost saving plan continues: In 2QFY14, HMCL announced that it was
looking at savings of Rs15bn by FY17-18E. This plan is on track with the company
achieving savings of Rs600mn in 2QFY15. Further, it indicated that in FY15E, it can
achieve savings of Rs3-3.25bn through this cost saving program. Cost saving
initiatives covered logistics, raw material consolidation and e-bidding. Management
target is to improve margins by 250-300bps by FY17-FY18E. Though this seems a tall
order, it gives us confidence on the sustainability of current margins.

Upside
1QFY13
Results in-line: HMCL’s operating results were largely in line. Total income for the
quarter was largely in line at Rs69.2bn (up 20.8% but down 1.7% QoQ) compared to
our estimate of Rs69.6bn. EBITDA margin was also largely in line at 13.5% against
estimate of 13.6%. It is encouraging to note that the company has been able to
expand its gross margins on QoQ basis by 75bps despite slightly unfavourable
product mix. Despite in-line operating performance, reported PAT stood at Rs7.6bn,
higher by 7% vs. our estimate of Rs7.1bn due to higher than expected other income
and lower depreciation charge.

4QFY12
We retain Buy with a TP of Rs3,230. Operating results were largely in line with
EBITDA margins at 13.5% vs. est. 13.6%. Despite weaker product mix, the company
managed to expand gross margins by 75bps QoQ. Other positives were market
share gains and grant of interim dividend. HMCL’s market share in the domestic
motorcycle segment stood at 52.1% compared to 51.8% in FY14 and 48.8% in
2QFY14. The company also announced an interim dividend of Rs 30/share. Dealer
interaction reveals that brand franchise of Splendor and Passion models continued
to remain strong. Further, HMCL indicated that its ongoing margin transformation
program can improve margins by 250-300bps by FY17-18E.
