MOTHERSON SUMI SMP to drive margin recovery in FY21 SYSTEMS Equity Research| Automobiles

COMPANYNAME Motherson Sumi’s (MSS) Q2FY20 EBITDA at INR13.2bn came 5% above EDELWEISS 4D RATINGS our estimate. Sustained weakness in India (fourth consecutive quarter of Absolute Rating BUY revenue decline) was offset by a strong performance in the global Rating Relative to Sector Outperform business, driven by SMP and PKC. Ramp up of the Keskemet plant Risk Rating Relative to Sector High remains on track, but Tuscaloosa continues to be troubled by lack of Sector Relative to Market Overweight skilled man power. We, however, believe that the worst is now behind and sustained ramp up of the three new plants (EUR1bn revenue at full capacity) is likely to be margin accretive. Management’s focus on higher MARKET DATA (R: MOSS.BO, B: MSS IN) content per vehicle, instead of mere revenue growth, is also encouraging. CMP : INR 134 Hence, we revise up FY20/21E EPS up 11.5/32.2%. Maintain ‘BUY’ with Target Price : INR 154 SOTP-based revised TP of INR154 (INR116 earlier). 52-week range (INR) : 179 / 91 Share in issue (mn) : 3,157.7

10% YoY increase in global revenue at INR141bn offset weakness in the India SHARE HOLDING PATTERN (%) business—revenue down 20% YoY. SMP continues to be a key driver of performance Current Q1FY20 Q4FY19 with revenue growing 20% YoY and EBITDA margin of 4.2% (up 150bps QoQ).

Though India business continues to face macro headwinds, we expect it to benefit from PRICE PERFORMANCE (%) the BS VI transition (rise in content). Besides that, as the three new plants ramp up and cost control measures gather pace in SMP, margin and ROCE will get a boost in FY21. Stock Nifty EW Auto Index

Outlook and valuation: Franchise remains strong; maintain ‘BUY’

We like MSS’ strong India franchise as well as the SMR business. We estimate FY19–21 EPS CAGR of 28%. We maintain ‘BUY/SO’ with TP of INR154 (valuing India business at 25x, SMR/SMP/PKC at 14x March 2021E PE). The stock is trading at 21.3/15.9x FY20/21E PE.

Q2FY20 conference call: Key highlights

Highlights  Won new orders worth EUR3.8bn in Q2FY20.

 No reduction / cut in new orders from customers.

 Most of the capex is now done. Does not expect any more green field projects.

 Post BS VI (India), content per vehicle in CVs will increase by double digits.

 M&A: Multiple moving parts, so difficult to commit a timeline. But hoping to close an acquisition in the current quarter. Valuations of potential targets look attractive in this environment.

 USA is now the second-largest country by revenue (after Germany).

 SMRPBV accounts for more than 45% of the consolidated working capital.

 Capex: Original FY20 guidance of INR20bn has been retained, though trying to lower the actual spend.

SMR/SMP  SMRC remains profitable.

 Working to improve profitability of green-field plants.

 Keskemet (Hungary) is ahead of Tuscaloosa (Alabama) in terms of utilisation and expects it to breakeven soon.

 Management team at Hungary is more mature and stable compared to Alabama. Man- power problems are also not significant in Hungary.

 Tuscaloosa update

1. Primary focus is to ensure supply that OEM requires, profitability improvement will come in focus after that. That said, it is not that the company is not taking measures to improve profitability.

2. Now producing 1,000 a day versus 600 cars at the end of previous quarter. Working to improve production capacity further to achieve breakeven. Will then focus on profitability.

3. Man power problems persist at Tuscaloosa. Shortage of skilled man-power still persists and MSS will need to hire many more people than originally estimated.

4. The company is working with the government and training existing employees to overcome this challenge. However, resolution of this problem is taking longer than expected.

5. By March, will make a much bigger push towards profitability, once ongoing orders are fulfilled.

6. Next quarter supply to Diamler is expected to grow in double digits QoQ.

 Utilisation – Running Tuscaloosa plant for six days a week with one day of maintenance. As utilisation/efficiency improves, will be able to run on five days a week.

2 Edelweiss Securities Limited

SMRPBV  Order book continues to remain strong with orders which have yet to commence.

Rolling stock business (in PKC)  Operational performance of this business has improved as they imbibe good practices from the existing group and as China has stabilised.

 Already has a plant at Serbia, which the company is expanding.

 Setting up a new plant in UAE.

6 Edelweiss Securities Limited Motherson Sumi Systems

Company Description Motherson Sumi Systems (MSS), is a JV between Samvardhana Motherson International (SMIL) and Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Japan (SWS). It is the flagship company of Samvardhana Motherson Group (SMG). With presence in 25 countries and turnover of ~USD6.5 bn as of FY17, the group supplies to all major automobile manufacturers across the world.

MSS can be regarded as inorganic growth specialist. Pertinently, the company has successfully turned around its recent two key acquisitions, SMR and SMP. Its latest acquisition of PKC, a Finland based M&HCV wiring harness player remains well placed to capitalised on growth across US and Europe geographies

Investment Theme Historically, MSS’s revenue and profits have catapulted ~5x every 5 years driven by rising content per vehicle, diversified geography & clients and acquisitions. Our analysis of successful global leaders—Bosch, Johnson Control, Magna—indicates acquisitions have been integral to growth; MSS is treading the same path.

We believe the India business is well placed to benefit from rising content per vehicle with upcoming safety and BS-VI emission norms. Though revenue visibility for the SMR and SMP business is improving, the pace of ramp up at new plants remains key to margin improvement.

Key Risks Complex structure raises concerns MSS has too many subsidiaries/JVs, which complicates the ownership structures.

Weaker global demand The company’s key subsidiaries (SMR/SMP) are highly dependent on demand from the luxury segment. Weakness in global premium car demand can impact order books of SMR/SMP. This in turn could delay expected turnaround in these subsidiaries.

Execution risks Delays in turnaround of subsidiaries and/or lower-than-anticipated group synergies remain a concern for SMR/SMP.
