These vehicles include vans, trucks (3 tonnes), tractors and other agricul tural vehicles and given the nature of Thailand’s auto industry where several manufacturers outsource assembly and parts production, this is seeping up capacity and resulting in back-logs building up. This growth is in line with trends to modernize trade a nd higher living standards (15% of TRU’s revenue is directly serving industrial vehicles and machinery). Several major manufacturers have reported back-log orders for several months (truck markers have reported back-logs for up to two years). Major market is no longer Europe As of April 2012 according to the Automotive Industry Club, demand for CBU is coming from SE Asia (27%), the Middle-East (27%) Australia and New Zealand (21%) and Africa (5%). Europe accounted for only 9% of Thai automobile exports an d this is down from 11% in 2011. This is in stark contrast to five years ago when European demand took the largest slice. Domestic and regional sales have since risen sharply and now Thailand is a more diversified manufacturing base with pick-up one tonne accounting for 72% of export sales in April 2012 compared to more than 90% in 2007. Parts suppliers are also exporting Thai parts manufacturers have also informed us that they’ve seen a step up in orders from other markets, including from Latin America, the Middle-East, Myanmar and the Philippines as those markets also develop their own auto- industry and car market in general. The old business Modified vehicles account for only 5-6% of revenues and these vehicles are mostly specialized such as the MUV4 military utility vehicle which are made to order on a cost plus basis. Room to grow showrooms TRU still has a small show room and car repair business—the company sees opportunity to expand in this area. We see some opportunity to leverage off their relationships with major players to sell new vehicles. This is a lower margin business but can help shield the attractive GPM of the parts and tools businesses. Offering 40% upside We target THB12.30 p/share based on a 12.9x 12PER or 10% discount to Somboon Advanced Technology (SAT), the listed market leader for car parts manufacturing. Our discount takes account of SAT being better known in the market and having a more sizable market cap of US$295m. However, based on our conversations with both companies, TRU appears to offer notably better earnings growth prospects over the short-medium term (about twice as much) and is debt free. SAT is perhaps a “premium player” being the market leader in axle shafts and number two for disc drum brakes however TRU is also well known for patented stamping technology. Applying the same comparative approach to 2013 earnings, TRU’s implied price is THB13.7.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management as to their correctness and the completeness of the presentation. My responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on my review. Except as discussed in the next paragraph, I conducted my review in accordance with the auditing standard applicable to review engagements. This standard requires that I plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. I have not performed an audit and, accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2009, and for the three-month period then ended, included investments in three associated companies accounted for under the equity method amounting to Baht 152.97 million and shares of profit from these companies amounting to Baht 3.46 million (as discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements).

  • Supplier Selection in the Thai Automotive Industry
    Hi-Stat Discussion Paper Series No.186 Supplier Selection in the Thai Automotive Industry Somsupa Nopprach October 2006 Hitotsubashi University Research Unit for Statistical Analysis in Social Sciences A 21st-Century COE Program Institute of Economic Research Hitotsubashi University Kunitachi, Tokyo, 186-8603 Japan http://hi-stat.ier.hit-u.ac.jp/ Supplier Selection in the Thai Automotive Industry Somsupa Nopprach Abstract This paper uses agglomeration theory to analyze the impact of Thai government policies on the development of the Thai automotive industry and cluster formation in Central and Eastern Thailand. Using cross-section data on 162 auto-parts suppliers from the Thailand Automotive Directory 2003-2004, the paper examines the criteria of supplier selection in the Thai automotive industry. Using logit models and cross-section data on 162 auto-parts suppliers from the Thailand Automotive Directory 2003-2004, the paper examines the effects of economies of scale, technology, distance between suppliers and assembler plants, and nationality on the likelihood of a supplier being selected as a subcontractor. Furthermore, the paper compares the role of these factors for different types of assemblers – Japanese and American, automobile and motorcycle. The findings suggest that scale of production is a dominant factor while there is no significant preference for suppliers of the same nationality as the assembler. In addition, assemblers are more likely to choose parts makers located in close proximity as their subcontractors, as the agglomeration theory predicts. Finally, the comparison of supplier selection criteria for different types of assemblers shows that there exists commonalities in valuing economies of scale while the automobile assemblers is the group that mostly concern technological level of suppliers.
