Indian Small Caps Whilst such a hammering for small caps is but normal in a prolonged economic downturn, it also suggests that they could be disproportionate beneficiaries of an upturn. With our Economist, Ritika Mankar, being of the view that GDP growth in FY13 will be 6.3% (vs 5.5% in Q1 FY13) and then 7.1% in FY14, arguably small caps are the best way to play an impending economic recovery. With that in mind, in the pages which follow we highlight some interesting small caps based on our sector leads bottom-up research. [For more details of our view on the impending economic recovery, please refer to our Strategy & Economics thematic published on Monday 24th September 2012.]

Bajaj Electricals

NOT RATED
Background: Bajaj Electricals, a 74 year old company, is part of the $7bn Bajaj Group. It has six strategic business units Engineering & Projects (manufactures transmission line towers), Appliances, Fans, Luminaries, Lightings and Morphy Richards. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: Bajaj Electricals is the leader in the small domestic appliances segment with a market share of ~15% in the organized market which accounts for ~65% of the market. In Luminaries whilst its market positioning is 2nd with a market share of 17%, in fan and lightings its market positioning is 3rd with a market share of 16% and 8% respectively. Bajajs leadership position has been built on the back of its strong distribution network (the largest amidst the listed peers) comprising of 400,000+ retail outlets, 1,000+ distributors and 4,000+ authorized dealers. Secondly, global appliances majors like Morphy Richards (a big player in UK) and Nardi (a big player in Italy) have tied up with Bajaj Electricals for distributing their products in India. Lastly, return ratios for Bajajs non-Engineering and Projects (E&P) business is the highest in the industry due to its asset light model. RoCE in this business is a stellar 63% compared to 51% and 19% for Havells (domestic business) and V-Guard respectively thanks to a strong vendor base. Whilst Havells and V-Guards outsourcing ratio is ~15% and ~60% respectively, Bajaj outsources ~90% of its production with majority of the vendors being exclusive to Bajaj. Overall success of the business: Whilst the companys revenue growth at 20% CAGR over FY09-12 is impressive, its earning CAGR at 5% has been disappointing. The reason for the poor bottomline is due to its Engineering & Project (E&P) business wherein the margins declined by a staggering 960bps to 3.2% in FY12 compared to FY09 levels of 12.8%. The reason for such a sharp decline in the E&P margins was cost overruns across several sites as project implementation got delayed due to right of way issues. Consequently, the CFO/EBITDA ratio has also deteriorated to 63% in FY12 compared to 114% in FY09 given a rise in debtor and inventory days to 42 and 131 days compared to 37 and 116 days respectively. The increase in working capital days from 57 days in FY09 to 71 days in FY12 is completely attributable to the issues in the E&P business as the non E&P business operates on a negative working capital cycle. FY13 outlook: Whilst the FY13 outlook for the E&P business is sluggish (as the existing order book consists of many projects which have seen cost over runs), in FY14 the business is likely to see a significant improvement in margins and cash flows as management is confident of completing the majority of its troubled sites in 2HFY13. With regards to the non-E&P business, management is confident of recording an overall revenue growth of 15% underpinned by a healthy 25% growth in the domestic appliances segment. We believe this to be realistic guidance as the same is in line with the 30% guidance given by the management of TTK prestige. (TTK Prestige is a 100% kitchen appliances company and the majority of Bajajs domestic appliances are also kitchen appliances.) Valuation: The firm trades at 13.4x FY13 P/E, 2.4x FY13 book value and 8.9x FY13EV/EBITDA. Compared to peers - Havells and V-Guard - it trades at a discount of 31%, 24% and 56% based on P/E, EV/EBITDA and P/B respectively. Compared to its four year average, the company trades at a premium of 6% and 25% based on FY13 P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples respectively

Bajaj Electricals Exhibit 7: Explanation for our flags on the cover page
Segment Score Comments
We give an amber flag on Bajajs accounting on account of low CFO/EBITDA ratio compared to its peers V-Guard and Havells on the back of extremely high debtor days, high percentage of loans and advances compared to net worth and low provisioning of debtors. Given the fact that the company has been surprising negatively compared to the guidance that the company has been providing with, the predictability remains uncertain. As per Bloomberg consensus estimates, there has been a decline of ~8% in the earnings estimates for FY13 in the past three months.

tyres (OHT) from India. BKT currently accounts for close to 4% of the global OHT market. The company generated revenues of `28.2bn (up 48% YoY) and net earnings of `2.7bn (up 45% YoY) in FY12.
Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: Market share gain has been
the key driver for BKTs strong volumes and revenue growth in recent years. Going forward too, we believe BKT will continue to gain market share on the back of its competitive advantages relative to the large global incumbents while being relatively insulated from the threat of new entrants (including domestic players) in the OHT space. Some of the key factors underpinning BKTs competitive advantages are: (a) Lower prices for consumers in Western markets made possible by BKTs low cost structure; (b) The de-focus of global secular players (eg. Bridgestone, Michelin) from the OHT space; (c) OHTs are a high variety low volume and difficult to manage business; this acts as a strong entry barrier to new players; and (d) Relatively low threat in the OHT industry from Chinese imports (as this is not a labour intensive industry). Overall success of the business: BKTs standalone volumes, revenues, EBITDA and net earnings have grown at a CAGR of 19%, 26%, 23% and 25% respectively over FY07-FY12 (implying major market share gains). Furthermore, BKTs EBITDA margin is significantly ahead of both domestic and global peers driven by its export model (and ensuing fiscal benefits) and locational advantage (resulting in lower wage costs).
FY13 outlook: We expect BKT to record revenue growth of 27% YoY, EBITDA

margin of 19.1% and net earnings growth of 26% in FY13. We expect the depreciation that has taken place in H1 FY13 in the INR (relative to both US$ and Euro) to favourably impact realisation and margins in the forthcoming quarters. However, on the negative side, the order book witnessed a decline of around 20% QoQ in volume terms (from around 64,000 MT to around 51,000 MT) and around 18% in value terms in 1QFY13. Our discussion with the company management indicated that there is some contraction in order inflows particularly from the European geography due to a postponement in orders from the distributors' end. However, the company expects orders to bounce back and has retained its sales volume guidance of around 160,000165,000 MT for FY2013 (against our estimate of 155,623 MT). More importantly, the company is going ahead with the new Bhuj facility as per schedule (scheduled to commence commercial production by September 2012). Valuation: BKT earns significantly better RoICs v/s peers due to its much better margin profile. Our DCF model values the core OHT business at `315/share, implying 11% upside and 8.5x FY14 net earnings (a premium of 10% to Apollo Tyres). On a crosscycle P/E comparison, BKT is trading at a premium of 14% to the average multiple of the company over last six years.

Elgi Equipments
Bloomberg: ELEQ IN EQUITY Reuters: ELGE.NS
NOT RATED
Background: In the air compressor market, Elgi Equipments is a market leader with a market share of ~30% in India. The firm is also Asias largest manufacturer of air compressors. In FY12, it posted revenues and PAT of `9.8bn (+5% YoY) and `755mn (-15% YoY) respectively. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: The critical strength which has fuelled growth for Elgi has been the dominant position it enjoys in the small to medium air compressor market wherein it has market share ranging from 25-70% across various product categories and a product portfolio covering around 80% of the different air compressors in the market. The main competitive advantage Elgi has over key competitors (such as Ingersoll Rand and Atlas Copco) is its expertise in manufacturing airends which is the main component of the compressor and costs as much as ~50% of the compressor. Elgis ability to refurbish these airends in comparison to its peers (which have to be replaced), makes its compressors more economical. Furthermore, the competitive pricing of its products, the firms distribution and after-sales support (116 branches and 365 dealers across India) is significantly superior compared to Ingersoll Rand which has only around 20 dealers in India. Overall success of the business: Incorporated in 1960, revenues and profits for this majority family owned firm have grown at a CAGR of 21% and 26% respectively in the past 5 years. This has been accomplished by strong cash flows from operations and positive free cash flows over the years. That being said, margins have fallen in FY12 due to an increase in raw material prices, change in the product mix, increase in travel costs due to the expansion of the network within India and overseas employee expenses on opening of new offices in Brazil and Australia. Furthermore, the company has been focusing on making strategic acquisitions abroad to tap the global opportunity in air compressors. The management is aiming to triple its exports by FY15 (implied CAGR of 25% over FY11-15 compared to historical five-year average of 15%). In line with this strategy, Elgi in FY11 acquired Belair S.A. (a French company) for a consideration of `43mn. In the past month, Elgi has acquired Rotair S.p.a., an Italian company which has an annual turnover of ~`1.1bn. Elgi also has a strong balance sheet wherein the net debt-equity is zero and the firm had cash of `1.4bn as on March 12.

Greaves Cotton
Bloomberg: GRV IN EQUITY Reuters: GRVBL.BO
BUY
Background: Greaves Cotton is the largest domestic manufacturer in India of light weight single/dual cylinder diesel engines for automotive and industrial applications. It has a virtual monopoly in the diesel three wheeler engine segment with exclusive arrangements to supply engines to M&M (5-year agreement until FY2016) and Piaggio (8-year agreement until FY2016). Recently, it has also made meaningful progress in the Small Commercial Vehicle (SCV) market by signing a 10-year agreement with Tata Motors to supply engines for its Ace Zip and Magic Iris models. The promoters of this Mumbai-based firm are the Thapar Group. Competitive positioning: The firm has a strong position in the three wheeler engine market with market share above 80% in diesel engines. Our discussions with industry participants suggests that Greaves is irreplaceable in the single cylinder three wheeler market and small CV market due to its superior technology, economies of scale and established product. In FY12, ~50% of revenues and ~2/3rds of profits for Greaves came from the auto segment. In the genset and the construction equipment business, Greaves does not any competitive advantage. Hence it makes losses in its construction equipment business (equipment used in road construction & ready mix concrete mixers) and lower margins in the genset business (in the 21-150 KVA segment which is the most commoditized space to be in) compared to peers such as Cummins and Kirloskar Oil Engines. Overall success of the business: The company has witnessed revenue growth at a CAGR of 13% over FY10-12. This was on the back of an increase in domestic three wheeler sales which grew at a CAGR of 8% over the same period. The company has a strong balance sheet with no debt and strong free cash flow generation over the last three years. FY12 was a difficult year for the company where it witnessed a decline of ~250bps in its operating margins compared to FY11 as its largest customer in the automotive engines segment, Piaggio lost market share in the three wheeler segment over the past year. However, going forward, the new tie up with Tata Motors provides improved visibility for Greaves engine sales and hence stronger revenue growth. FY13 outlook: Whilst the outlook for FY13 on revenues and earnings continue to remain muted we expect Greaves to announce entry into a new segment (possibly super compact cars) which could rerate the stock. The super compact car segment (seats upto-5, length normally between 4000-4250 mm, engine displacement normally upto 1.6 Litre) is growing at a fast pace (31% YoY growth in FY12) with volumes of 187,026 vehicles (compared to Greaves current volumes of ~0.4mn engines). Note that Suzuki, Hyundai and Honda are gearing up with their own compact versions of diesel passenger cars given the widening gap between diesel and petrol prices. On the genset and the construction equipment portfolio we expect an uptick from FY14 onwards given our Economist, Ritika Mankars, expectation of a pick-up in investment growth (measured by Gross Fixed Capital Formation). A rise in investment growth will drive manufacturing and capital goods sector growth and hence boost demand for gensets & construction equipment. Valuation: Our DCF assumes a WACC of 14% and terminal growth of 3% which translates into a valuation of `94 implying 25% upside. At CMP, the stock trades at 11.3x FY14 earnings which is a discount of 34% compared to Cummins. We believe such a huge discount is unjustified given a similar earnings profile and return ratios. Cummins and Greaves Cotton have earnings growth of 17% and 13% in FY14 respectively and similar ROCE of 21%.

Greaves Cotton Exhibit 7: Explanation for our flags on the cover page
Segment Accounting Score GREEN Comments In our forensic accounting model, Greaves scores (253), far ahead of both the average score of Capital Goods companies (188) and the BSE 500 universe (196). Greaves has had a history of getting into non core diversifications (resins, tractors, autos, etc.) in the past. Whilst the company exited from most such areas during 2000-03, based on its track record we assign an Amber. Besides, the turnaround of its infrastructure equipment business continues to be elusive. Consensus estimates as per Bloomberg have seen a reduction of ~3-6% in earnings for FY13 and FY14 over the past three months.

NOT RATED
Background: A subsidiary of the worlds fourth largest cement producer, Heidelberg Cement India currently has 3.1mn tonnes of cement capacity and 1.6mn tonnes of clinker capacity across four manufacturing locations. Whilst the company generated revenues of `9.8bn (14% growth), its PAT declined 54% to `291mn in CY11 on account of a significant increase in operating costs Competitive positioning: Central India, the best placed region in India considering the demand-supply scenario, contributes ~65% to the overall revenues of Heidelberg, followed by the West (~22%) and the South (~13%). Over the last 3 years (FY09-12), whilst demand in India has grown at a CAGR of 7%, Central India grew by 10% (mainly driven by 23% demand growth in UP). Its presence in Central India (where strong demand growth is expected on the back of robust rural demand (in UP) and elections next year (in MP)), gives Heidelberg an edge over new entrants. Furthermore, the company is doubling its capacity to 6mn tonnes by Nov 2012 by setting up 2.9mn grinding units in MP and UP and plans to enter into markets of Bihar, Delhi, NCR, Haryana, Punjab and Uttarakhand. Whilst increasing the lead distance would mean higher freight costs, management believes that the North and East India have better realisations and hence they can easily pass the increase in cost to the consumers. Overall success of the business: Whilst Heidelbergs volumes and revenues have grown at a CAGR of 4% and 9%, respectively over CY08-11, its EBITDA and net earnings have declined by 12% and 39% respectively mainly on account of input cost pressures arising from the: (a) Increasing prices of linkage coal (90% dependence); (b) Unavailability of (and poor quality of) raw materials (gypsum, fly ash); and (c) Increase in diesel and rail freight prices. Apart from increasing capacities, Heidelberg is incurring `2bn of capex on conveyor belts for the transportation of limestone between the plant and the mine which would result in savings of `100/tonne. Expansion of the clinker unit to 3.1mn tonnes would also reduce raw material costs (~35% of the raw material costs is on account of clinker purchased). CY13 outlook: We believe cement volume growth is correlated to GFCF growth and given that the economy and corporate spending is likely to improve in the coming months, it would lead to higher cement demand from the institutional clients and thus benefit regional/smaller players given the higher proportion of institutional clients in their sales split. The doubling of capacity and the resultant operating leverage in terms of cost savings would enable Heidelberg to improve its margins and profitability. Stable cement prices and high utilisation in the Central region is also likely to benefit the company. With Heidelbergs current net debt of `7.6bn likely to have peaked out and with no major capex plans for CY13, the company will generate positive FCF. Consensus estimates indicate that Heidelbergs EBITDA and EPS will grow at a CAGR of 107% and 85% respectively over CY11-13 resulting in a sharp jump in return ratios going forward. Valuation: Heidelberg is currently trading at 6.9x 1-year forward EV/EBITDA on consensus EBITDA estimates. Whilst on EV/tonne the stock is trading at a US$55, a 39% premium to its 5-year average (but a significant discount to the large cap cement plays), on 1-year forward EV/EBITDA, the stock is trading at an 11% premium to its 5-year average. We expect return ratios to improve from here on. Expansions and cost rationlisation would lead to improvement in EBITDA/tonne.

ICRA

NOT RATED
Background: Set up in 1991, ICRA is the second biggest credit rating agency in India (~21% market share) with a presence in other business segments such as consultancy, Information Technology services and outsourcing. Moodys is a strategic partner in the company having 28.5% stake where Moodys provides ICRA with technical services and also outsources certain services to ICRA. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: (i) ICRA is the second biggest
Krishnan ASV
Tel: +91 22 3043 3205 vkrishnan@ambitcapital.com
rating agency in India amongst six rating agencies and hence is in a less crowded market than any other Financial Services industry; (ii) ICRA has access to Moodys global research base and credit risk analytics techniques; (iii) ICRA has a strong and credible brand name in a issuer paid industry where the independence of the rating agency is sometimes questionable; (iv) ICRAs presence in regional centers helps it in garner more business and gives this firm a better understanding of the regional entities it rates; (v) The company has diversified into other businesses like consulting, outsourcing, etc. which contribute ~33% of its revenues. This helps ICRA to maintain its profitability without compromising on independence in its rating business which we believe would be a critical factor in long term sustainability of business. Overall success of the business: After witnessing strong revenue and PAT CAGR of 31% and 39% respectively between FY06 to FY10, ICRA has seen a slowdown in its revenues and PAT between FY10-12 at a CAGR of 14% and 1% respectively due to sluggish debt markets, a slowdown in credit off take, increased employee overheads and competitive pressures due to an increase in number of players in the credit rating industry. FY13 and FY14 outlook: Whilst FY12 revenues and profits of ICRA grew modestly by only 11%-12%, ICRA would be a disproportionate beneficiary of a pick-up the in investment cycle leading to increased credit off-take and more bond issuances by Indian corporates. With operating leverage in the business model, PAT growth would be disproportionately higher than revenue growth. Moreover, as organizations like Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and insurance companies are provided more flexibility in investing in below AAA rated bonds, bond markets could further widen in India benfiting rating agencies like ICRA disproportionately. That being said aggressive competition based on less independent rating to the issuer to gain business is less likely in the listed bond market (vs bank loan market) due to high reputational damage if the ratings turn wrong (due to involvement of multiple institutional and retail investors). Moreover, the increasing in SME rating pool could be another large opportunity for ICRA given that there are potentially ~25mn SMEs in India, with only a handful of them currently rated. Valuation: ICRA trades at 17.6x FY13E P/E and 15.6x FY14E P/E based on consensus estimates and is at 33% discount respectively to its closest peer CRISIL on 1 year rolling forward PE ratio. Increased competition in the segment leading to pressure on growth and margins is the key risk to the company.

Based on our analysis, we believe that reported numbers of the company shows the true economic picture of the company Whilst revenue and net profit growth patterns of the company moves in line with overall activity in debt markets, the earnings and net profits are unlikely to throw any major negative surprises for the investors. Earnings momentum could continue to remain weak in the near term due to weak credit offtake and weak debt markets.

Info Edge
Bloomberg: INFOE IN EQUITY Reuters: INED.NS
BUY
Background: Info Edge is a leading Indian online classified firm present in the recruitment, real estate, and matrimony verticals. Info Edges businesses not only enjoy several structural growth drivers such as rising Internet penetration, usage of eCommerce and favourable demographics, but also sustainable competitive advantages such as strong brand recall, customer stickiness due to positive network effects and a robust balance sheet to take advantage of acquisition opportunities. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: (1) Having built a strong brand over the last decade, Info Edges recruitment classifieds business, Naukri.com now enjoys unrivalled unaided brand recall. Naukri.com has around 60% traffic share in the high entry barrier online recruitment market. Competition from LinkedIn is primarily being felt by offline recruiters as opposed to Naukri. (2) Even as Info Edges real estate classifieds business, 99acres, now commands ~35% traffic share of the Online Real Estate Classifieds market, the addressable market remains in the early stages of hockey stick growth driven by increasing awareness amongst developers and brokers. With operating leverage set to manifest itself, we expect revenues and EBITDA to grow at 52% and 200% CAGR respectively over FY13-FY15. (3) Info Edge has potentially material option value from other classified businesses. We are particularly excited about InfoEdges investments into financial aggregation and education classifieds. Overall success of the business: InfoEdges standalone business (recruitment, real estate and matrimony) has grown at a 22% CAGR over FY07-12, driven by market share gains in its core recruitment business (up 19% CAGR) and blistering pace in its nascent real esate business. Over this period, Info Edges standalone EBITDA margins improved by 1130bps driven by rising pricing power, improving unaided brand recall that led to lower advertising costs and operational leverage. Due to the subscription led negative working capital cycle and low capital intensive nature of online classifieds, Info Edge generates strong CFO (average 83% of EBITDA over FY08-12) and free cash (70% of PAT excluding acquisitions and 55% of PAT including acquisitions over FY08-12) at the consolidated level. FY13 outlook: Over the rest of FY13, we expect the company to grow revenues strongly due to: (a) Healthy volume growth 10-12% YoY in core recruitment; and (b) Improving realizations due to price inflation and lower discounting as the economy improves. We expect slower earnings growth due to EBITDA margin dilution (240bps) from greater investment in scaling up the real estate and education businesses in the standalone entity. We expect cash conversion ratios to soften in FY13 (22%) due to weaker subscription growth in 1HFY13. Valuation: Our assumptions point to 22% FY12-14 EPS growth supported by growth in real estate and operational leverage as more businesses break even. This makes the shares look attractive even at 25xFY14 P/E and 17x FY14 EV/EBITDA. Our SOTP based 3 stage DCF valuation points to `423, implying 21% upside and FY14 P/E of 30x.

NOT RATED
Background: Kirloskar Oil Engines (KOEL) is part of the $1.6bn Kirloskar group. It is one of the largest manufacturers of diesel engines ranging in capacity from 4 hp to 800 hp and from 2,400 hp to 11,000 hp. The firm has market leadership in the small and medium diesel engine segment. These engines find application across sectors like power generation (used in gensets), agriculture (used in pumps), and off highway (used in construction equipments). The company generated revenues of `24 bn (3% decline) and PAT of `1.9 bn (11% growth) in FY12. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: Despite KOEL having market leadership in the small and the medium engine segment, its EBITDA margins (13% in FY12) are lower compared to the leader in the larger engine segment, Cummins India (15.5% in FY12). This is because the small and the medium engine segment is a commoditized segment attracting competition from several unorganized players. However, KOEL is now trying to crack open the larger engine segment thanks to its tie-up with Daihatsu (established Japanese diesel engines manufacturer for marine and power plant applications). Whilst it will be a challenge for KOEL to compete with Cummins in this segment (given Cummins superior technology, first mover advantage and strong distribution network), initial feedback from corporates on the launch of KOELs large engines is encouraging. Overall success of the business: The Companys revenue growth in the last two years (FY10-12) has been flat (compared to a CAGR of 20% for Cummins) due to greater competition in the agriculture segment, loss of market share in the industrial engine segment (from 52% in FY11 to 30% in FY12) and sluggishness in the power generation business (primarily due to a decline in the telecom sector due to telecom companies preferring tower sharing arrangements instead of new roll-outs). Op margins also declined by 100bps to 13% primarily due to higher employee expenses which (as a % of revenues) increased from 5.7% in FY10 to 7.5% in FY12. However, CFO/EBITDA improved in FY12 to 146% compared to 105% in FY11 due to a reduction in debtor days from 57 days in FY11 to 47 days in FY12 (FY10 data is not available as the company demerged that year). FY13 outlook: FY13 so far has been a tough year for the industry given poor industrial production (IIP) numbers. YoY growth in IIP so far since April12 has been flat on the back of a persistent slowdown in the manufacturing and capital goods sector which have declined by -0.6% and -16% respectively in Apr-July12. However, in FY14 we expect the manufacturing and capital goods sector growth to pick up on the back of an improvement in investment growth measured by Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF). Our Economist, Ritika Mankar, now expects YoY growth in GFCF for FY14 to increase to 6.1% from 5.5% earlier given the recent string of policy reforms unleashed by the Government and the likelihood of future policy reforms in H2 FY13. Valuation: The firm trades at 12.2x FY13 P/E, 2x FY13 book value and 7.4x FY13EV/EBITDA. Compared to peers (Cummins and Greaves Cotton), these estimates are at a 28%, 50% and 30% discount respectively. Compared to its two year average (last five years data is not available as the company got demerged in FY10), the company trades at a premium of 11% on both FY13 P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples.

Background: Motilal Oswal is one of the largest retail and institutional stock Analyst contacts brokers in India with presence in investment banking and asset management as well. The company, which accounts for 2% in volumes on Indian stock Pankaj Agarwal, CFA exchanges, generated revenues of `4.6bn (22% de-growth) and PAT of `1bn Tel: +91 22 3043 3206 pankajagarwal@ambitcapital.com (24% de-growth) in FY12. Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: (1) MOFS has maintained its focus on non-capital intensive fee-based businesses such as broking, investment banking and asset management and has stayed away from capital intensive businesses such as retail financing, insurance, etc. In effect, MOFS has avoided businesses where stockbrokers have no visible competitive advantages. (2) MOFS has successfully built a franchisee-based retail broking model which is non-capital intensive and helps MOFS manage its cost structure better (even in a bear market) as all the fixed and operating costs are borne by the franchisee; (3) MOFS has a well established distribution channel of ~1500 branches in 550 cities along with a robust institutional client base to build its investment banking and asset management business; (4) In both retail and institutional broking, over the last 20 years, MOFS has built, arguably, the strongest brand in India. The firm is viewed by most market participants as a reliable and trustworthy broker. Overall success of the business: After witnessing strong revenue and PAT growth of 59% and 66% respectively between FY06 to FY08, the company has seen a de-growth in its revenues and PAT between FY08-12 at a CAGR of 9% and 11% respectively. Fall in cash market volumes, retail investors staying away from the market, declining commission rates (especially in institutional equities) and muted investment banking, capital market lending (margin financing, IPO financing, etc) have led to this decline. However, the silver lining is that despite intense competition in institutional equities along with the increasing cost structure in the broking business, MOFS has been able to broadly maintain its market share (in revenue terms) over the last two years. The combination of this and its franchisee model means that MOFS has been able to maintain its operating margins between 33%-42% on a cross cycle basis FY13 and FY14 outlook: Whilst the 1HFY13 profits for MOFS would continue to remain muted showing ~10% de-growth on YoY basis, if going forward cash market volumes on Indian exchanges remain at the levels seen in the second fortnight of Sep12, we expect a robust revenue and PAT CAGR of 24% and 34% between FY12-14.

Based on our analysis, we believe that reported numbers of the company shows the true economic picture of the company The revenue and PAT of the company are as volatile as market levels and trading volumes on exchanges; hence the companys revenues and earnings are very unpredictable. Whilst 1HFY13 earnings would be lower on YOY basis, we believe that if the current market momentum continues, there would be a significant earnings momentum for MOFS.

Background: Sadbhav Engineering (SEL) is a mid-sized Construction-turneddeveloper operating in the roads/highways (70% of the total revenues), mining and irrigation sectors. Through its subsidiary, Sadbhav Infrastructure Projects Ltd (SIPL), SEL has an asset portfolio of five operational road BOT projects and 6 under construction projects (road and check post). Competitive positioning: Financial discipline sets Sadbhav apart from most midsized contractor-turned-developers & steady controlled asset growth through partnerships has made it one of the best road developers. In our analysis of 20 mid-small sized construction companies, Sadbhav not only stands out as the
Chhavi Agarwal

strongest player, it has continuously gained competitiveness over its peers over the last 3 years. Despite a much lower revenue base and networth impacting its prequalification strength, the firms markedly superior cost structure/ competitiveness gives it industry leading standing amongst the construction companies. We also compare Sadbhav with 10 listed road/diversified developers and find that it is amongst the top 3 road developers due to better performing operational road assets and superior cost structures compared to its diversified players. Also, on the bidding competitiveness (determined by the equity needs for BOT projects), Sadbhav is a strong player as it has low equity needs compared to peers (who are mainly diversified players).
Overall success of the business: In the last five years, Sadbhav has not only posted strong consolidated revenues and PAT growth (CAGR of 42% and 37%, respectively over FY07-12), but also strong CFO growth (CAGR 44% over FY0712), mainly due to strong degree of financial discipline maintained by the management. Further, Sadbhavs Western India (Maharashtra) dominant BOT road asset portfolio is expected to generate 14%-18% equity IR` and, these National Highway(NH) road assets are supplemented by two 20% plus IRR assets Ahmedabad Ring Road and Maharashtra Border Check Post which are unique assets circling Ahmedabad and Maharashtra and will benefit from traffic from multiple NH links. The present progress of operational and under-construction assets provide comfort to our NPV and IRR calculations. Outlook: We expect a recovery in earnings and returns from FY14 onwards with new assets becoming operational. Whilst consolidated PAT wont grow over FY12FY14, as 55% of Sadbhavs invested equity becomes operational by FY13-end, operating cash flows will grow at a 21% CAGR, thereby, not only providing for debt servicing (interest expenses to grow 4x between FY12-14E to Rs4.7bn) but also equity capital for under-construction assets. We expect the equity invested in Sadbhavs asset portfolio to increase to Rs14bn by end-FY14 (up 118% from endFY12) and expect 68% of it to be operational. The firms operational assets provide means to raise capital through equity stake sales or securitization. Valuation: Our SOTP value of `175 implies 2x FY14 book. Our road asset portfolio valuation implies 1.8x FY13 for Sadbhavs investment in SIPL (`11.8bn). The firms relatively rich valuation is justified given its more realistic EPS and BVPS vs. peers inflated metrics & second rung management teams. Our DCF-based construction business valuation implies 7x FY13 EPS, a discount to most peers.

Background: Supreme Industries is engaged in the plastic processing business and manufactures a comprehensive range of plastic products in India. The company has four divisions: plastics piping system (46% of revenues), packaging products (25% of revenues), industrial products (19% of revenues) and consumer products (10% of revenues), catering to different sectors and customers. Supreme sells its offering through a growing network of 2,052 exclusive distributors (36% YoY growth) spread across India. Competitive positioning - gaining market share in key segments:

Continuous product line expansions using feedback from its large distributor network and leveraging its global technology partners, has helped Supreme capture growth from the rising penetration of engineered plastics in India. Therefore, inspite a large number of competitors, Supremes pipe business (46% & 40% of FY12 revenues & EBITDA, respectively) has grown the fastest vis--vis its organized peers. Further, within the packaging segment (25% of revenues), there is no major competition to the companys 25%+ EBITDA margin productCross Laminated Films ((CLF), 50% of segment revenues).

growth of 21% and PAT growth of 35% respectively. Further, Supremes RoCE has risen to 34% from 12%, a manifestation of managements assertion that RoCE underpins its business discipline. New product launches and technology absorption have helped it penetrate deeper into higher-margin value-addedproducts (VAP) client segments (residential, infra), thus reducing its reliance on the low-margin high-volume Agri segment. Its multi industry/segment presence has allowed Supreme to vacate highly competitive products and replace them with VAPs. This in turn has not only generated steady growth in EBITDA margins but also kept working capital needs low, thus growing CFO (FY08-12 CAGR of 25%), which is more than enough to fund future expansions.
Outlook: For FY13E, management expects revenue growth of 20-25% and PAT growth ahead of 25%, mainly driven by the increasing share of the VAP products (30% in FY12). Over FY12-16, Supreme will invest `11bn over FY12-17 (equal

WABCO India
Bloomberg: WIL IN EQUITY Reuters: WABC.NS
NOT RATED
Background: WABCO India is the market leader in airbrake systems for medium & heavy commercial vehicles (MHCV) in India. It commands a market share of 85% with MHCV OEMs. The company, formed as a braking division of a joint venture (called Sundaram Clayton) between TVS Group and WABCO Group in 1962, now exists separately from Sundaram Clayton and is 75% owned by WABCO Group (the TVS Group has exited from the company). Competitive positioning and its underpinnings: WABCO commands a market share of 85% with MHCV OEMs. Furthermore, it also enjoys strong pricing power which is evident in its superior EBITDA margin (average of 19.1% over FY08-12). Key factors underpinning its strong competitive positioning are: (a) The strong parentage of WABCO Group, a US$ 3bn global leader in providing safety and efficiency solutions for CVs. WABCO India has benefited from this parentage in getting technology, new products and MNC OEM relationships (globally WABCO enjoys strong relationship with most of the big OEMs); (b) With braking systems being a critical product, brand name and quality are important factors for OEMs when it comes to selecting supplier and this acts as strong entry barrier; (c) Its first mover advantage in India has helped company build strong OEM relationships with domestic market leaders Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland and thereby build market share in both the OEM as well as the after-sales market. Overall success of the business: The company has been able to clock revenue growth of 18% CAGR over FY08-12, ahead of MHCV volume growth of 6% during the same period. This was helped by an increase in content supplied per vehicle and growing exports to its parent. Furthermore, WABCO India has been able to maintain EBITDA margin at 19-20% in the last five years (barring FY09). Besides profitability, the company enjoys a strong balance sheet with a net cash position (`1bn as of FY12 end) and strong CFO generation (averaging 75% of EBITDA over FY08-12). FY13 outlook: The MHCV industry is currently going through a slowdown (April to August volumes saw 12% YoY decline). While this may impact WABCOs FY13 revenues, some of the mitigating factors in the short term are: (a) After-sales market revenue growth continuing to hold up - 22% YoY growth in 1QFY13; (b) Exports to WABCO global have increased from 4% of total revenues in FY08 to 14% by FY12 and continues to grow at a healthy rate (21% YoY growth in 1QFY13); and (c) Rising content per vehicle. As a result, despite the MHCV industry de-growing by 12% in 1QFY13, the company was able to record 2% YoY growth in revenues. The consensus expectations factor in revenue growth of 13% and EBITDA margin of 22% for FY13. Over the longer term, we believe, the company has significant potential to increase the content per vehicle through the introduction of higher value products such as advanced braking systems (anti-lock braking systems, electronic braking systems, lift control axle valve) and entering into newer segments such as driveline products (automated manual transmission systems). Valuation: WABCO is trading at 15x one-year rolling forward EPS which is at a premium of 18% to the four average P/E but at a discount of 16% to the peak P/E multiple commanded by it in the last four years. Compared to other auto OEMs, it trades in-line with Bharat Forge but at a discount of 25% to Bosch Indias multiple.
