Summary
Q1FY17 Results: Revenues grew 12% YoY to Rs28.8bn (vol. growth of 12.5%, with domestic growth of 18% and exports falling by 13%. Motorcycles and scooters rose 11% and 19%, respectively, while mopeds increased by 18%. Turmoil in key export markets continued impacting demand, with 3W exports down 46%). As a result, realizations were subpar, falling 0.5% YoY and 6% QoQ as the lower share of exports and 3W hurt ASP’s. Margins rose 24bps YoY to 7%, but this was partly due to certain raw material costs being classified under depreciation under IND-AS. PAT rose 21% to Rs1bn.
Near Term Outlook: TVS should continue reporting strong domestic volume growth over FY16-18E on the back of aggressive pricing, robust demand for scooters & mopeds and near term favourable tailwinds such as GST/7PC/normal monsoons. The TVS Victor, 200cc Apache and a new moped model are now available nationwide and are likely to maintain domestic sales momentum for F17. Volumes from the TVS-BMW tie-up are likely to contribute to topline in H2FY17. We estimate revenue growth of 13% over FY16-18E, primarily driven by volumes (10% est.), with realizations likely to remain muted due to export pressure. Management’s aim to raise margins to ~10% seems unrealistic however, and we expect margins to stay capped at the 8% mark given the price sensitivity of TVS’ moped/scooter segments and rising gross margins. Thus, we estimate EPS growth of 20% over FY16-18E.
Valuation: TVS remains a stable company with decent fundamentals – presence in high growth segments, RoEs of ~25% despite OPM margins of just ~7%, a well-established brand and improving cash flow. However, TVS is likely to continue facing heightened competition in the slowing 2W segment. At CMP, TVS trades at a premium valuation of 15x on an EV/EBIT basis and 21x on an FY18 P/E basis, expensive when compared to better placed peers such as MSIL (22x) and at a substantial premium to BJAUT/HMCL. We assign the stock a 12X multiple on FY18E/EV/EBIT (16x standalone FY18 P/E) and add Rs34/a share for investments/JVs. We value the stock at Rs244 and recommend a SELL.
Outlook and View 2W long term growth holds lower potential than PV’s: India’s 2W penetration has increased
enormously over the past decade (~13% now vs. ~8% in 2010). However, while comparing penetration rates of 2W and PV’s in India vs other economies, we believe that the growth potential for 2Ws remains substantially below PVs (~2.5% penetration). Given the large existing base, the scope for doubling or even tripling 2W penetration rates within a decade remains far more of a challenge than it is for PV penetration rates (from ~3% to ~5% or ~8%). While scooterization will boost TVS’ short term revenue growth, industry growth is likely to moderate on the back of potential uptrending and saturation among the female workforce. Thus, for the overall 2W industry, we expect a lower growth trajectory ~7-8%+ volume growth over the next decade as compared to PVs (~10-12%+).
The Ever Elusive Margin Expansion:One of the oft-cited investment rationales for TVS has been the possibility of a structural improvement in margins. Given the low base of current margins (7%), a shift towards 10% would yield a sharp rise in profitability (a 100bps margin increase boosts EPS by ~20-25%). However, TVS’ long term track record doesn’t offer much comfort, as margins have stubbornly stuck to 6-7% over the past decade. Key challenges to margin expansion include 1) High Ad/promotion spend relative to peers 2) Core segments of TVS’ revenue (mopeds, scooters) are inherently price sensitive and lower margin 3) Recent margin expansion was driven by declining commodity costs rather than structural changes, and this trend is reversing 4) Exports (higher margin) are seeing deep declines in volumes on macro-economic issues and 5) Rising competitive intensity in the scooter segment is likely to leave TVS little room for price increases.

Company Outlook – TVS Motor Company
Near term growth brisk
GST/7th Pay Commission/Above normal monsoon: Implementation of GST would result in TVS’ products
seeing a 5-7% lower price, while also ensuring an offset of safety/emission norms related costs for BS-IV.
Higher consumer spending due to other macro-economic factors should see domestic growth continuing to
outpace exports for FY17. A boost to consumer spending would add buoyancy to FY18 revenues for TVS.
Scooters could see a boost in first time buyers in rural geographies (45% of volumes), as spending recovers on
the back of normal/above average monsoon.
New launches successful: The TVS Victor is now available nation-wide which should help the company gain
marketshare in the Executive Segment. The Executive segment has always been a weak spot for TVS (low
marketshare), thus incremental growth from the Victor would contribute meaningfully to the topline.
Increasing traction for recent models such as the Jupiter and Starcity models are continuing to help TVS’s see
robust growth. The upgrade to the Apache has been flourishing in the premium segment.
Near term share gains to continue: With the recent launches (Victor, Apache) TVS’ Q1FY17 market share in
motorcycles has increased 60ps YoY to Q1FY17. For FY17, the company has guided for a ~20K monthly run rate
for Victor and ~50K monthly run rate for its Jupiter scooter. This would gain significant market share in the
overall 2W segment, from 13.5% now to 16-17% for FY17.
Exports volatility likely: TVS has a strong presence in volatile markets in Africa such as Egypt and Nigeria. Egypt
continues to face political instability, while Nigeria’s currency has been in free fall as result of the steep decline
in Oil prices (principal commodity export). While there could be some stabilization in FY17 with regards to forex
issues, the underlying demand in these nations is likely to remain weak. We expect TVS’ to see some QoQ
growth recovery, but for the year we continue to expect a 20% decline.
Mopeds rebounding on XL100: TVS, which is the only player in the segment, is seeing a revival in growth on the
back of is XL100 model. For Q1FY17, growth stood at 19, while we estimate 8% moped volume growth over
FY16-18E.

Longer term growth picture less rosy
2W segment long term growth profile uncertain: India’s 2W penetration has increased enormously over the
past decade (13% now vs 8% in 2010). However, while comparing penetration rates of India vs other emerging
nations, there remain doubts as to the long term growth potential of the 2W industry.
Well Penetrated given income level: Unlike the PV industry where ownership is extremely low, 2W’s (especially
motorcycles) are reasonably well penetrated given India’s GDP per capita.
Future of 3W uncertain: Other segments such as 3W could see lower than expected growth if 1) The
transportation industry continues up-trending towards PVs and 2) Higher share of goods are transported by
larger CV’s as fleets consolidate.
8+%+ Volume growth unlikely: Thus, for overall 2W/3W industry, we believe 8%+ volume growth over the next
decade would remain a challenge, giving the industry a lower long term growth trajectory than PVs or premium
motorcycles (350cc +).

The Ever Elusive Margin Expansion
Historically low-margin profile offers little confidence: TVS has historically had low EBITDA margins, as the
company has exhibited a singular focus on growth by aggressively pricing its products in comparison to peers
such as Hero/Hero Honda, Bajaj and now Honda. Over the last 18 years, margins have averaged 7%, while the
last 10/5 year averages have been 5.5/6.2% respectively. As a result, the company’s earnings tend to be volatile,
and its earnings tend to crater in bad years. Thus, we believe management’s target of 10% margins in FY19
seems difficult, especially given its continued intent to gain marketshare.
However, given low base, margin expansion could offer sizeable rewards: From a base of 7%, a 100bps
expansion in margins would boost PAT by ~20-25%. Thus, if the company did manage to get to 10% margins,
EPS growth would skyrocket. However, current consensus estimates already factor in somewhat higher
margins, with most estimates ranging between 8-8.5%.
Exports, New products crucial for better profitability: Key to margin expansion will remain export segments,
3W and premium motorcycles, where TVS enjoys a better margin profile. However, it should be noted that
even in the past when exports have risen as a share of sales, margins have flat lined.

Employee Costs/R&D/Gross Margins and ASP’s cause of lower margins: As shown below, compared to peers
Bajaj and Hero, TVS’ margins have historically been lower due to higher expenses across the board. Further,
the recent decline in commodity prices did not benefit TVS as much as it did peers, given TVS’ more aggressive
focus on growth rather than margins.

Company Outlook – TVS Motor Company
Other Challenges
Competitive profile of industry high; Additional growth levers limited
Honda a formidable competitor: Currently, TVS has been seeing gradual share gains in recent times on the
back of new launches and heavy ad spends. However, despite robust growth in recent times, overall market
share hasn’t changed significantly when seen over a longer period of time. Honda remains the dominant player
in scooters, with market share essentially flat over 10 years, despite continuing attempts by TVS and Hero to
gain share. Further, motorcycle share has been flattish, with recent upticks on the back of newer launches.
Honda’s track record in other Asian markets suggest that it will remain formidable in the years to come.
3W at long term risk of obsolescence: also risk Other segments such as 3W could see lower than expected
growth if 1) The transportation industry continues up-trending towards PVs and 2) Higher share of goods are
transported by larger CV’s as fleets consolidate.
Exports likely to remain unstable as a growth driver: Indian 2W and 3W have made strong inroads in Africa
and Latin America. However, macro-economic turbulence is a key risk for these markets, making them not
particularly attractive. African nations that are big markets for these exports are facing severe fiscal pressures,
as a steep fall in commodities impact government revenues. Political instability in a country like Egypt is an
additional risk. More lucrative markets such as Philippines and Indonesia are mostly dominated by Japanese 2-
W manufacturers, making it difficult for Indian players.

Return ratios decent for Auto segment, but pales in comparison to 2W OEMs
While TVS’ current margin profile of ~24% is decent for a manufacturing firm (especially an OEM), when compared
to 2W peers, its RoE profile appears mediocre.
Further, in past downcycles, TVS lower margin fundamentals mean that its profitabilty fell significantly more than
Bajaj and Hero.

Estimates
We estimate revenue growth of 13% over FY16-18E, primarily driven by robust scooter revenue growth (19% est.)
and motorcycle volume growth of 10% .
We expect a 15%/9% increase in domestic/export volumes. At higher operating leverage and new initiatives in
exports, we expect margins to expand to 7.8% in FY18E.
Stable fixed costs along with low margin base should drive Adj.EPS of 20% CAGR over FY16-18E.

BMW Motorrad Tie-up holds potential
TVS alliance with BMW (BMW Motorrad)would provide incremental growth: Asper management, this tie-up
would will release its first product (expected to be the ~300cc BMW G 310 R) in H2FY17. All products would be
manufactured by TVS in Tamil Nadu, making TVS a contract manufacturer. Certain prodcuts could also be
launched under a TVS brand name (plans not yet finalized, but an “Akula 310” is likely to be launched first).
Technology benefits a postive:Over the long term, this would be a positve for TVS as it would gain technical
experience in higher-end motorcycles. products, particularly premium ones. While sales volumes are likely to
be small initially, the higher price tags (rumoured to be in the region of EUR 4,000-4,500) would amount to a
significant pie of revenue. The TVS launched products would also boost its brand image and product
perception.
Near Term ramp up a key monitorable:However, it remains to be seen whether the venture will be profitable
(EUR 20 Mn already invested for TVS), and at what margins TVS can operate on, given that its status in the
venture is akin to a contract manufacturer
Estimates: Given uncertainty as to timeline of ramp up and order flows, we conservatively estimate the JV
would be able to generate ~40,000 volumes (7K domestically, 33K via exports) in FY18E, based on broad
guidance and BMW’s market share in the segment. We conservatively estaimte Rs1.2bn in FY18E turnover
(Rs0.3mn blended realizations). Assuming a 4% PAT margin (JV is expected to have higher margins than stand
standalone basis), we estimate Rs1/Share in earnings from this JV. Given its potential for ramp up, we assign
Rs20/share in value for the venture.

Valuation
Overall, TVS possesses decent fundamentals within the auto segment – RoEs of 24-26%, good growth potential on
the back of rising scooterization and the possibility of strong growth via the BMW alliance. However, there exist
certain key risks that could impact the stock. Continued weakness in the high realization exports market could
lower margins and reduce longer term growth visibility.
The 2W market (especially motorcycles) is also unlikely to grow at rates seen in the previous decade, given the
much higher penetration rate and the possibility of uptrending on the parts of consumers. TVS’ razor thin margins,
that have historically been at the ~6-7% mark, increase the volatility of earnings and uncertainty. Given market
expectations of significant margin expansion (FY18 consensus margins is at 8.3%), there remains little room for
error.
Valuation: We value TVS at 12X its FY18E EV/EBIT (25% discount to Maruti multiple) (~16x standalone P/E),
and add Rs34/share to account for the value of its subsidiary investments as well as the BMW alliance
(Rs20/share). At CMP, the stock trades at 21X its FY18E earnings (after accounting for investments/BMW
alliance) and 15X on FY18E EV/EBIT. We recommend a SELL with a target price of Rs244, given the steep
valuations.
Upside Risk to estimates: 1) Higher than expected revenue/margins for BMW alliance; 2) Robust recovery in
export markets in Africa combined with strong domestic volumes and 3) Higher than expected margins (8%+)
on product improvement.

Fundamentals average at best: While TVS’ growth trajectory has been impressive in recent times, we do not see the company possessing sustainable competitive advantages over Hero and Bajaj. Market-share trends evolve and shift, and thus, a slowing trend in scooterization would imperil TVS.

Valuations unjustified relative to peers: We continue to expect PV’s to significantly outperform the 2 industry over
a long term horizon. At current multiples, TVS trades near market leader Maruti Suzuki and at a significant premium
over Bajaj Auto and Hero Motocorp.

Favourable mix powers realizations: Revenues grew 12% (vol. growth of 12.5%, with domestic growth of 18%
and exports falling 13%. Motorcycles and scooters rose 11% and 19%, respectively, while mopeds increased by
18%. Turmoil in key export markets continued impacting demand, with 3W sales falling 42% (3W exports down
46%).As a result, realizations were subpar, falling 0.5% YoY and 6% QoQ as the lower share of exports and 3W
hurt ASP’s.
Boost by other income/depreciation method change:Margins rose 24bps YoY to 7%, but this was partly due to
certain raw material costs being classified under depreciation under IND-AS.PAT rose 21% to Rs1bn.
