As we had stated earlier, discounting or some other form of promotion was critical for BJAUT to revive footfalls, dealer profitability and market share, given that market share is relatively difficult to revive (vis-à-vis margins) in the long term. Increase in Platina sales and market share stemmed from higher footfalls in dealerships. We expect EBITDA margins to improve gradually from 4Q with 18% margins in FY20 as USD-INR realizations touch 73. We raise FY19E/FY20E volumes by ~3% but revise EPS estimates by -1%/1. Retain LONG with a Sep’19 TP of Rs 3,130 set at 18x Sep’19 EPS (Jun’19 TP: Rs 3,038). Levers in place for further market share gains in motorcycles: Management is now comfortable with its CT100 market share in the entry segment, as reflected in a price hike of Rs 1,800 taken over Jul-Oct’18 after a cut of ~Rs 4,000 in April. While CT100 remains a loss-making model for BJAUT, higher footfalls due to these offers helped revive sales of Platina, whose market share in the <100cc segment expanded ~100bps in 1HFY19 over 1HFY18. BJAUT’s upcoming model in M3 should also help given the company’s limited presence in the segment. EBITDA margins to improve from FY20 on better USD-INR realizations: Even if domestic 2W margins were to remain at current levels, EBITDA margins should improve in FY20 as USD-INR realizations inch close to a spot rate of 73 from 1QFY19. With extra premium generated on one-year forward bookings, the USD-INR rate should keep going up from 2HFY20, we believe. Exports are expected to remain strong as with crude oil prices on the higher side, African economies are doing well. We expect EBITDA margins to improve to 18% in FY20 from 16.8% in 2QFY19. 3W growth to taper off in FY20 on a high base, but decline unlikely: With support from increased market share in larger-size diesel 3Ws and cargo segments and a shift towards CNG many cities, BJAUT expects the quarterly run-rate of domestic 3W volumes at 100k. Possibility of opening of permits in Delhi will also keep 3W volumes healthy. Besides, export volumes are touching 100k per quarter as almost 25% of its sales are coming from new markets. Management mentioned that 3W exports are well-distributed now across Africa, South Asia, ASEAN and the Middle East, and therefore volumes are expected to remain steady.

    Earnings call takeaways

    Industry & business update

    • Till date, the festive season has been softer in western states like Gujarat and

    Maharashtra than North India. However, management expects demand to bounce back

    during the remaining part of the season.

    • Cost pressures of insurance would get absorbed over 3-4 months, with growth likely

    to recover from January.

    • To combat commodity price inflation, BJAUT took price hikes in the month of Oct’18.

    2W prices of most models for the end customer were raised by

    Rs 1,000/unit, and for 3Ws by Rs 1,500/unit.

    • 3Ws, spares and exports are high-margin propositions with margins of >20%. Pulsar

    fetches close to ~20% margins and Platina single-digit margins.

    • BJAUT expects commodity prices to go up in 3QFY19.

    • The company expects pre-buying to kick in before the BS-VI roll out, which would

    drive growth in 2HFY20.

    • Bajaj Finance financed ~48% of sales; total financing is ~50% plus.

    Domestic 2W volumes, product pipeline

    • No new product launches are planned for 3Q.

    • New products in the M3 category are expected to be launched in 4QFY19.

    • BJAUT is focused on gaining market share even if it is margin-dilutive.

    • Market for the M1 segment is expanding.

    • With Platina picking up traction, BJAUT expects its contribution to increase going

    ahead.

    • CT is a loss-making proposition, while Platina is a profitable model and incremental

    contribution would be margin accretive.

    • Pulsar twin disk is gaining ground and contributes ~40% to the Pulsar portfolio. Twin

    Disk has been the fastest growing model and, being a value-added product, should lead

    to margin improvement.

    • The company plans to come up with a newer version of classic Pulsar, which would

    grow at a higher rate than the Pulsar portfolio.

    • CT contributes only 14% of revenues.

    Domestic 3W volumes

    • BJAUT expects to maintain a monthly run-rate of 30,000+ units for 3Ws in the domestic

    market.

    • Demand is driven by consistent reduction in requirement of permits.

    • The cargo segment is also doing well and expected to drive the topline.

    • In 3Q, growth would be muted off a high base.

    • CNG penetration is rising dramatically in the country. BJAUT has a ~90% market share

    in alternate fuel technology.

    • BJAUT expects to clock 3W volumes of 800,000 in the domestic and export markets in

    FY19.

    • Capacity for 3Ws is ~850,000 vehicles per year, and the company expects it to increase

    to 1mn to meet increasing demand.

    Exports, spare parts, taxes & capex

    • Share of Africa has been rising in the last one year, and should reach 50% from 45%

    currently.

    • The African market is largely driven by Boxer. However, the mix is improving gradually

    and moving towards the 150cc segment.

    • BJAUT’s market share in Uganda is ~90%, Ethiopia ~65% and Kenya ~45%. The company

    has strong ground in East Africa but is facing challenges in West Africa.

    • The total export market in which BJAUT operates is 6.5mn-6.6mn units.

    • Realization per US$ is expected to reach ~Rs 70 in 3Q and 4Q, and ~Rs 73 in FY20. In

    2QFY19, it stood at Rs 69.4.

    • FY19E capex guidance is at ~Rs 3bn, largely for new models, R&D and debottlenecking.

    • Tax rate for FY19 is expected at ~31%.

    • Spares exports stood at ~2.43bn and domestic sales at Rs 5.67bn.
