Expanding market share in growing segment RE has significant headroom to gain market share in premium segment

 We expect the premium segment (>150cc) of the motorcycle industry to grow at ~13% CAGR over FY18-22E, as against motorcycle industry growth of 5.4% and 2W industry growth of 8.7%.  This value migration is expected to be driven by upgrading by the existing motorcycling population, especially in urban markets, as well as first-time buyers directly buying premium motorcycles.  With its niche positioning, we believe an expanding premium segment would provide further impetus for RE to grow and capture a larger share of the pie. Consequently, we expect RE to outperform the premium motorcycles segment, with ~15% volume CAGR over FY18-20E.  While premium segment is expected to capture ~31% of the motorcycle market by FY22E, RE’s share within premium motorcycles is expected to expand to ~29% by FY22E (refer exhibit 3).

Next leg of growth to come from rural, semi-urban areas Large part of RE’s ongoing network expansion is in tier-2 cities & beyond

 Key motorcycling markets like BIMARU are under-represented; offer significant room for aspirational product like RE to expand market share.  Expansion of dealership network with emphasis on under-represented markets to provide better brand accessibility.  State-wise volume estimates suggest ~20% CAGR in domestic volumes over FY18-20E. However, based on current visibility of capacity, we estimate ~15% CAGR over FY18- 20E.  Signs of demand moderation in certain states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are due to systemic pressure like (a) weakness in IT sector impacting demand in Pune and Bangalore, (b) increase in road tax in Karnataka and Maharashtra, and (c) high penetration in key cities (15-25% of motorcycles v/s 6% pan-India).

High potential markets like BIMARU under-represented; to drive next leg of growth  Strong growth to continue in key motorcycling BIMARU states: We see high growth potential in key motorcycling markets like BIMARU (Bihar, MP, Rajasthan and UP), , Orissa and Assam. These under-penetrated 2W markets not just offer higher scope for motorcycles, but also for aspirational products like RE.  RE has room to increase market share in these markets: RE currently has low market share in these states (3-4% v/s market share of 6% nation-wide). With RE’s network expansion focused on these high potential tier-2 markets, we see significant room for expansion of market share.  Strong growth in these markets to continue: Though BIMARU states contribute just ~18% to RE volumes (12% in FY14), they have been growing rapidly at ~63% CAGR over FY14-17. We expect these states to continue to grow strongly at 34% CAGR over FY18-20, contributing ~24% to RE’s domestic volumes. In fact, we expect UP to become the largest market for RE by FY20 (v/s 5th largest in FY17).

Expansion of dealership network to provide better brand accessibility  The management is focused on ramping up its dealership network from ~825 dealers at present to ~1,000 dealers in the next two-three years. Expansion of dealership network would lead to increase in access to the brand, which in turn, would drive volume growth.  When compared to MSIL, RE lags behind in terms of dealership network and number of cities covered. This is because RE has good representation in top-10 motorcycling markets, but not in other markets. A large part of new dealerships in the last 12-18 months and upcoming ones are targeted towards under- represented markets there-by filling these market gaps.  Over CY13-FY17, RE’s network has expanded substantially from 307 dealers to 675, and to ~825 as of March 2018. This has masked booking SSG for RE in tier-1 markets, partly moderating booking SSG in top-25 cities to early teens.

State-wise volume estimates suggest ~20% CAGR in domestic volumes  Based on our state-wise volume estimates, we see potential 20% CAGR in domestic volumes over FY18-20. This is assuming no capacity constraints. Based on current visibility of capacities, we estimate ~15% volume CAGR for RE over FY18-20.  Large part of this growth would be driven by BIMARU states, with growth of 36% CAGR.  We expect weakness in Maharashtra and Karnataka to persist, resulting in declining volumes.

Total RE 323,662 817,386 1,202,014 21 Source: SIAM, MOSL Systemic pressure in select key states impacting RE demand  In key states like Maharashtra (~9% of total RE volumes), Karnataka (~7% of total RE volumes) and Tamil Nadu (~10% of total RE volumes), there are signs of demand moderation.  While volumes in Maharashtra have been declining since 4QFY17, Karnataka volumes have been declining since 2QFY18 (though sub-10% growth since 4QFY17) and Tamil Nadu witnessed decline for the first time in 3QFY18.  However, as per our channel checks, moderating trend in both bookings and volumes in these cities is attributable to market-specific factors such as: (a) Weakness in IT sector (Bangalore and Pune being IT hubs) has impacted demand for RE in Karnataka and Maharashtra. Motorcycle industry volumes for these two states have also declined (refer exhibit 19, 20). (b) 6pp increase in road tax to 18% for 2Ws priced >INR100k has dragged down demand for high-end motorcycles in Karnataka. (c) RE’s penetration in cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Pune is already at 15-25% of new motorcycles sales, which is well above its Pan-India ~6% share in total motorcycle sales. This offers limited scope for RE to expand market share in these cities.  Our channel checks suggest that booking growth now ranges from zero to high single-digit in these states.  Most of these markets now do not have any waiting period; on the contrary, products are largely available off the shelf (barring few colors).

RE needs to address few challenges Developing another successful product will help fighting future competition

 Challenge #1: New product needed to complement Classic, expand addressable market  Challenge #2: Competition trying hard, although yet to crack the code

Challenge #1: New product needed to complement Classic, expand addressable market  RE’s success in India has been primarily driven by Classic 350, which accounts for ~70% of domestic volumes.  RE’s strategy of being both a traditional and iconic brand while providing a viable upgrade for commuters has worked for it in the past. Our channel checks suggest that ~75% of RE customers are commuters, who now do not have meaningful options to switch/upgrade to within the RE franchise.  Also, our interactions with channel partners indicate that RE needs another strong brand that can attract new customers – the ones not attracted to Classic. This will also help to create pull at the dealership level and drive footfalls, having a rub-off on existing products.  RE has made a couple of attempts (Continental GT and Himalayan) in the past to have offerings other than the Classic brand, but hasn’t got any success yet.  New launches in the 650cc segment – Interceptor and Continental GT are expected to be on board by 1HFY19. Although it would have a very small addressable market in India (RE’s 500cc motorcycle contributes only 5% to RE’s domestic volumes), we believe it would help in increasing footfalls and improving brand visibility.

Source: SIAM, MOSL Challenge #2: Competition trying hard, although yet to crack the code  While RE enjoyed virtual monopoly in the >250cc premium segment, threat of competition is only increasing, with the advent of players like BMW, Triumph, Husqvarna, Honda, Norton, Benelli and UM in this space.  In the past, Bajaj tried to penetrate in RE’s domain with products like Avenger (150cc, 220cc) and Dominar (400cc). However, it is yet to gain any meaningful success with these brands. Avenger and Dominar did average monthly volumes of 8.7k and 1.5k units respectively in FY18YTD.

 Going forward, there are several launches lined-up in the cruiser and sports segments, with key difference being competition from global aspirational brands like BMW and Triumph in tie-up with local players like TVS, Bajaj, etc.  However, with RE’s niche positioning, we believe an expanding premium segment would provide further impetus for RE to grow and capture a larger share of the pie.

Exports: huge potential in unexplored mid-size bikes RE’s focus on experiential based marketing to result in back-ended ramp-up

 Focusing on LatAm and SE Asia to replicate India strategy: The company is focusing on two major two-wheeler clusters – Latin America and South East Asia, with key markets including Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand to boost export sales. These markets collectively sell ~15m two- “Royal Enfield endeavors to wheelers annually. They have a larger young population and an underserved reinvent and lead the global mid-sized motorcycle market with a huge commuter base. It attempts to mid-size motorcycle capture these markets by positioning itself as a step-up aspirational product segment, and South-East Asia is a critical market for with an accessible cost of ownership vis-à-vis competitors. us in this global strategy.”  Expanding footprint globally: The management targets to increase overseas - Rudratej Singh, President, presence through exclusive outlets. While RE has presence through >500 multi- Royal Enfield brand outlets, its entire focus is on building exclusive outlets. It wants to ramp up dealer count from 30 exclusive outlets currently to 70-80 outlets by FY20.  Export-oriented new product launches: The management expects Interceptor 650cc and Continental GT 650cc to strengthen RE’s presence in developed markets like US, UK and Europe, and to establish a strong presence in emerging markets. With the new launches, it expects exports to increase from the current ~2% contribution to volumes to ~4% of volumes by FY20.  Ramp-up to be gradual: While exports provide an exciting opportunity for RE, we expect this to play out over the long term. Ramp-up would be gradual, as it would take time for RE to build its brand and replicate its India strategy of creating brand pull by building a riding culture.

VECV to benefit from strong tailwind in the CV industry Profitability to improve substantially  To regain lost market share in LMD and HD segments:  VECV has lost ~250bp and ~60bp market share in the LMD and HD segment, respectively in 9MFY18. The management’s strategy of focusing on profitable market share had hurt VECV’s market share during this period of heavy discounting by incumbents.  We believe, going ahead, there would be an industry-wide downtrend in discount levels, with initial signs of reduction in discounts visible since January 2018.  This would enable VECV to regain lost market share in these segments.  The company is also focusing on gaining market share by strengthening its distribution reach across India.  Exports to grow at faster pace: VECV has recently entered South Africa and is soon entering the South East Asian market, starting with Indonesia. The company is also exploring newer geographies of Africa and Middle East. With the extensive Pro series range and focus on entering India-like markets, we expect exports to grow at 18% CAGR over FY18-20.  ~300bp accretion, led by operating leverage: We expect VECV’s volumes to grow at 14% CAGR over FY18-20. We estimate revenue CAGR of ~16% over FY18-20, led by ~14% CAGR in volume and ~2% CAGR in realizations. EBITDA margins are estimated to expand 180bp to 10.9% by FY20, mainly due to better operating efficiency and operating leverage. Consequently, VECV’s PAT is expected to grow at 33% CAGR over FY17-20.

Valuation and view Continued in RE, strong recovery in VECV to drive ~30% EPS CAGR

 Premium segment to grow faster than motorcycle industry: We expect the premium segment (>150cc) of the motorcycle industry to grow at 13% CAGR over FY18-22E, as against motorcycle industry growth of 5.4% and 2W industry growth of 8.7%. Faster growth in the premium segment is expected to be driven by upgrading by the existing motorcycling population, especially in urban markets, as well as first-time buyers directly buying premium motorcycles.  RE’s volume growth to normalize, but still remain strong: We expect RE volume to grow at ~16% CAGR over FY18-20, faster than the premium segment. We believe as the premium segment expands, RE would capture a higher share of the pie due to its niche positioning within this segment. We believe the next leg of growth would be driven by (a) strong volume growth in relatively under- penetrated markets like BIMARU, (b) expansion of dealership network in under- penetrated markets to provide better brand accessibility, (c) timely production ramp-up to meet demand, (d) ramp-up in exports led by new launches and expansion of exclusive outlets in target markets.  VECV volumes to clock ~14% CAGR over FY18-20: We expect VECV to benefit from the strong tailwind in the domestic CV industry, with volumes growing at 14% CAGR over FY17-20. Further, with signs of discount levels reducing and led by expansion of dealership network, VECV would regain lost market share in the LMD and HD segments.  Consolidated margin to expand ~250bp by FY20: We expect ~250bp margin expansion to 34% by FY20, driven by focus on cost reduction and benefit of operating leverage. As a result, consolidated EPS is expected to grow at ~30% CAGR over FY18-20.  Maintain Buy with TP of INR35,572: We value Royal Enfield business at 27.5x EPS (Standalone EPS excl from VECV), which is at ~15% discount to 3 year median PE of 32.5x. EIM is trading at 29.1x/22.7x FY19E/FY20E consolidated EPS. We reiterate our Buy rating on the stock, with an SOTP-based TP of INR35,572 (FY20E).

Scenario analysis indicates favorable risk-reward Bull-case upside of 39% v/s bear-case downside of ~14%

Bull case  Stronger growth in under-represented states like BIMARU, more than offsetting the moderation of growth in key states, would drive RE volume CAGR of ~22% over FY17- 20 (v/s base case CAGR of 18%), assuming timely capacity additions.  Revenue could clock 27% CAGR over FY17-20 (v/s base case CAGR of 23%).  EBITDA margin could expand by ~280bp to 34.1% by FY20 (v/s 33.9% under base case), driven by operating leverage and faster ramp-up of production capacity.  Consequently, PAT could register CAGR of 33% over FY17-20 (v/s base case CAGR of 30%).

Bear case  Impact of strong growth in other smaller states, offsetting the decline in key states, would lead to RE volume CAGR of 16% over FY17-20 (v/s base case CAGR of 18%).  Revenue could clock 18% CAGR over FY17-20 (v/s base case CAGR of 23%).  EBITDA margin could expand by ~130bp to 32.6% by FY20 (v/s 33.9% under base case), driven by operating leverage.  Consequently, PAT could register CAGR of 24% over FY17-20 (v/s base case CAGR of 30%).
