`1,600 -
Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) reported strong results for 3QFY2013. While the top-line (up 35% qoq) was broadly in-line with our estimates, the bottom-line was slightly ahead despite the higher tax rate (at 26% as against 19% in 2QFY2013), driven by EBITDA margin expansion of 183bp sequentially to 8%. The margin expansion was led by superior product-mix (higher share of Swift, Dzire and Ertiga and higher proportion of diesel vehicles in the product-mix), lower discounts (at `12,100/unit vs `14,700/unit in 2QFY2013), price hikes and favorable currency movement. Going ahead, we expect MSIL to post a modest volume growth of ~2% in FY2013; however, we expect volumes to rebound in FY2014 and post a growth of 13% driven by availability of additional diesel engines and revival in demand for petrol cars. We also expect operating margins to improve ~140bp in FY2014 led by a favorable product-mix and currency movement, lower discounts and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. Nonetheless, post the sharp run-up in the stock price (up ~18%) over the last three months; the stock appears to be fairly valued. Thus we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock. Strong results for 3QFY2013: For 3QFY2013, net sales grew by a robust 44.9% yoy (34.9% qoq) to `11,200cr, driven by 25.9% yoy (30.9% qoq) and 15.7% yoy (3.8% qoq) growth in volumes and net average realization respectively. While volume growth came on the back of the low base (volumes in 3QFY2012 and 2QFY2013 were impacted due to labor strike); net average realization improved on account of superior product-mix, lower discounts and price hikes. The share of diesel vehicles stood at ~40% in 3QFY2013 as against ~33% in 2QFY2013. On the operating front, margins improved 183bp sequentially to 8% primarily due to favorable product-mix, operating leverage benefits and favorable currency movement. The royalty expense for the quarter stood at 5.6% as against 6% in 3QFY2012. Led by strong operating performance and base effect, net profit surged 143.8% yoy (120.4% qoq) to `501cr, ahead of our estimates of `474cr. Outlook and valuation: At `1,600, MSIL is trading at a rich valuation of 16.7x FY2014E earnings. We therefore maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

Strong top-line growth of 44.9% yoy: For 3QFY2013, net sales grew by a robust 44.9% yoy (34.9% qoq) to `11,200cr which was in-line with our estimates, driven by a 25.9% yoy (30.9% qoq) and 15.7% yoy (3.8% qoq) growth in volumes and net average realization respectively. While volume growth came on the back of the low base (volumes in 3QFY2012 and 2QFY2013 were impacted by a labor strike); net average realization improved on account of superior product-mix (higher share of Swift, Dzire and Ertiga and higher proportion of diesel vehicles in the product-mix), lower discounts (at `12,100/unit vs `14,700/unit in 2QFY2013) and price hikes. The share of diesel vehicles stood at ~40% in 3QFY2013 as against ~33% in 2QFY2013. The export revenue for the quarter stood at `1,320cr (up 40.7% yoy), driven by a strong volume growth of 17.2% yoy (59.1% mom) and net average realization growth of 20.1% yoy. The exports performance benefitted from the sales of Ertiga kits to Indonesia and favorable forex movement.

Strong operating performance led by EBITDA margin expansion: MSILs EBITDA margin improved 183bp sequentially to 8%, primarily due to favorable product-mix, operating leverage benefits and favorable currency movement. The raw-material cost as a percentage of sales declined 117bp qoq to 78.4%, led largely by better product-mix (towards Swift, Dzire and Ertiga and towards diesel vehicles), lower discounts and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. The employee expense as a percentage of sales too declined 60bp qoq during the quarter. On a sequential basis, EBITDA margin improved 274bp primarily due to 150bp decline in other expenditure as a percentage of sales driven by favorable foreign exchange movement which led to lower royalty outgo (down 40bp yoy to 5.6%) and operating leverage benefits. As a result, the operating profit surged 121.1% yoy (75.3% qoq to `891cr.

Slightly better-than expected growth in bottom-line: Led by strong operating performance and due to base effect, net profit surged 143.8% yoy (120.4% qoq) to `501cr, which was slightly ahead of our estimates of `474cr. This was despite the higher tax rate (at 25.8% as against 18.7% in 2QFY2013 and 21.3% in 3QFY2012) during the quarter.

Investment arguments
Per capita car penetration near inflexion point: In FY2009, car penetration in India was estimated at around 12 vehicles/1,000 people compared to around 21 vehicles/1,000 people in China. Moreover, Indias PPP-based per capita is estimated to approach US$5,000 over the next four to five years, which is expected to be the inflexion point for the countrys car demand. Further, MSIL has a sizeable competitive advantage over new foreign entrants due to its widespread distribution network (nearly 3,000 and 1,000 service and sales outlets, respectively), which is not easy to replicate. Suzuki focusing to make Maruti a small car manufacturing hub: Suzuki Japan is making Maruti a manufacturing hub to cater to the increasing global demand for small cars due to rising fuel prices and stricter emission standards. Thus, we believe there is a huge potential for the company to increase its market share in the export market. Moreover, R&D capabilities, so far largely housed at Suzuki Japan, are progressively moving to MSIL. The company is aiming to achieve full model change capabilities over the next couple of years, which will enable it to launch new models and variants at a much faster pace. This is expected to reduce its royalty payment in the medium-term (2-3 years). Merger with SPIL to be positive in the long run: MSIL is set to merge its associate company, Suzuki Power Train (SPIL) with itself. SPIL, a 70:30 JV between Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), Japan, and MSIL, manufactures and supplies diesel engines and transmission components for vehicles. SPIL currently supplies ~90% of its production to MSIL. We believe the merger of SPIL with MSIL is positive for MSIL given that MSIL itself is setting up a new diesel engine facility (capacity of 300,000 units by FY2014) in Gurgaon. Further, with increasing trend of dieselization, the integration of SPIL will result in better control over diesel engine sourcing, flexibility in production planning, and managing fluctuations in market demand. Additionally, single management control of diesel engine operations will result in better sourcing, localization and cost-reduction. While the merger is accretive for MSIL, we are not yet factoring it in our financials and valuations.
We continue to remain positive on long-term volume growth in the passenger car industry, driven by economic growth and low penetration levels in the country. Nonetheless, post the sharp run-up in the stock price (up ~18%) over the last three months; the stock appears to be fairly valued. At `1,600, MSIL is trading at a rich valuation of 16.7x FY2014E earnings. We therefore maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.
