India Equity Research Automobiles January 28, 2021 MAHINDRA & MAHINDRA COMPANY UPDATE KEY DATA About (mis)perceptions and misfires Rating BUY Sector relative Outperformer Price (INR) 765 12 month price target (INR) 1,009 A few misfirings (ROIC drags) led to Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) Market cap (INR bn/USD bn) 951/13.0 trading at steep discount to Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) post FY16 (at par till Free float/Foreign ownership (%) 81.1/33.4 What’s Changed then). As these get rectified, we expect the gap to bridge with Target Price Rating/Risk Rating ⚊ recognition that: 1) tractors and LCVs not only outgrow PVs, but also demand cyclicality for tractors is similar to PVs; 2) M&M’s tractor and INVESTMENT METRICS LCV franchise is as good as MSIL in PVs; and 3) ROIC drags–UVs and 275 unlisted subsidiaries–get a huge negative value (36% of our TP). 205 135 As these ROIC drags get addressed, we expect re-rating. Factoring that 65 -5 and EPS upgrade, we revise our TP to INR1,009 (earlier INR721). Sales Growth EPS Growth RoE PE (%) (%) (%) (x) Maintain ‘BUY’. Also, the ROIC drags can be value creators, given the Automobiles MM IN Equity huge negative value ascribed to them, once the restructuring is over. FINANCIALS (INR mn) Year to March FY20A FY21E FY22E FY23E Revenue 4,48,655 4,48,164 5,53,278 6,06,007 Business concerns: Some genuine, but plenty of misperceptions EBITDA 63,506 69,465 78,012 86,659 A few misperceptions are primary culprits for the steep valuation discount between Adjusted profit 43,534 42,245 49,227 55,684 Diluted EPS (INR) 36.5 35.5 41.3 46.7 M&M and MSIL. 1) MSIL’s franchise is superior: Market share mapping indicates EPS growth (%) (19.7) (3.0) 16.5 13.1 M&M’s tractor and LCV franchise is at par with MSIL; UVs is a weak link, but its RoAE (%) 10.2 11.6 12.2 12.3 minuscule contribution to profits does not warrant such sharp discount. 2) PV P/E (x) 20.9 21.6 18.5 16.4 outpacing tractors; less cyclical: In reality, not only tractors but also LCVs have EV/EBITDA (x) 14.8 13.0 11.0 9.4 outgrown PVs. Importantly, cyclicality in tractor demand is similar to PVs as demand Dividend yield (%) 0.5 0.5 0.6 0.6 is linked to reservoir levels, agri GDP and infra activities, not just monsoon. 3) UVs struggling: The worst is behind with BSVI transition. Also, M&M has shifted focus from market share to launches where it can command a premium. PRICE PERFORMANCE Does conglomerate warrant lower valuation? 850 50,000 730 45,000 M&M was trading at similar valuations as MSIL till FY16 and it was a conglomerate 610 40,000 even then. However, post FY16, efficacy of investments turned adverse, reflected in 490 35,000 mounting subsidiary losses and capex in UVs not yielding desired results. This led to 370 30,000 250 25,000 ROIC plunge--primary reason for the sharp de-rating. Renewed unwavering focus on Jan-20 Apr-20 Jul-20 Oct-20 returns from new and existing investments (18% RoE hurdle rate) will help M&M MM IN Equity Sensex bridge the valuation gap. We expect a delta swing of INR29/share in consolidated EPS alone from decisions already executed on this front. Explore: Outlook and valuations: In a sweet spot: maintain ‘BUY’ M&M is in a sweet spot as its key franchises tractors and LCVs are set for growth driven by high reservoir levels and cyclical recovery, respectively. Moreover, worst is behind for UVs with receding capital intensity over the next three years and end Financial model Podcast of sharp market share loss phase. Given the trend of preference for UVs and the company’s lineage, M&M can make a comeback – Tata Motors a case in point. Also, M&M is walking the talk with respect to its new capital allocation strategy. Hence, we raise our FY22 and FY23 core EPS by 19% and 15% respectively. We raise Corporate access Video our SOTP-based TP to INR1,009 (earlier INR721), ascribe 20x PER (earlier 16x) to June 2022E core EPS of INR33, maintain 30% holdco discount for its listed subsidiaries and cash per share of INR111. Our target PER implies a negative value to its UV business and unlisted subsidiaries (36% of our TP). We maintain ‘BUY/SO’.
