During 1HFY18, the industry recorded strong volumetric growth of 54% YoY to 32,289 units compared to 20,933 units 110% in SPLY while, the company has been able to maintain its market share at 62% during 100% 1HFY18 (62% in 1HFY17).

Consequently, the company does not plan to expand. As far as parts availability is concern, there are no constraints as parts suppliers have enough capacity to meet excess requirements. Stable Margins Owing To High Localization The current localization level is between 85-90% while reliance on imports is just 10-15% depending on variants. Meanwhile, Millat tractors is engaged in manufacturing of engines and agricultural tools (combined harvesters, balers and feed mixtures) along with the company’s investment in parts manufacturing companies like Millat Equipment Limited, Millat Industrial Products Limited, Bolan Casting Limited and Tipeg Intertrade DMCC. These companies are involved in manufacturing batteries, cells, automotive parts, agriculture components and heavy machinery for tractors and castings. www.arifhabibltd.com 2 Daily Call March 9, 2018 Cheapest Tractors in the Region Joint Venture in Hyundai Nishat Motors Pakistan is privileged due to its capability of manufacturing core parts of tractors or being manufactured by some locally operated companies.

MTL holds an 18% stake in the venture by acquiring 153mn shares in Hyundai Nishat Motors Private Limited (HNMPL) at a cost of PKR 1.53bn. We expect this to act as a key catalyst for the scrip going forward. Capacity Utilization The company has a normal production capacity of 30,000 tractors per annum on double shift basis while excess production can only be achieved by working overtime and triple shift basis to increase production capacity to 45,000 units (previously 42,188 units produced in FY11). MTL’s capacity utilization by the end of the year is expected to settle at 130% compared to 113% in FY17. We believe the company is making the most of the ongoing demand cycle emanating from CPEC related construction activities, infrastructure development and increase in agricultural land.
