Operating sustainably at highest profit margin in the industry with entrenched position, Amtek Auto Ltd (AAL) is set to get the much desired raw material support on favorable terms from two newly established plants by a group company, which would offer better value propositions to its marquee clients to expand market share, improve asset turnover, resulting in improvement of return ratios and expansion in valuation metrics. The Company has two listed and four operating closely-held subsidiaries having profitable track-record. In challenging times it has not digressed from domain auto sector, and diversified in the realm of its activities into non-automotive sectors of railway and defense having promising prospects. We believe, the heightened expansion in response to global OEMs plan is behind us. AAL has successfully, demonstrated the art of acquisition and integration in last decade, which, we believe is key to success as the industry is heading for consolidation, and natural demise of marginal players is imperative in days ahead. We estimate its consolidated income to grow at 10% CAGR and net income at 18% CAGR during FY12-15e. Our estimation of base case SOTP equity valuation of AAL for FY14e turns out to be Rs 129/share (Rs175 for FY15e) which is huge discount to ruling level of Rs 72 leaving 78% upside potential.
Key Investment Rationale Rapidly evolving supply chain management likely to prove nemesis to peers
AAL‟s RMC/Sales remained steep high level at ~60% against industry average of ~50%, even as its EBIDTA margin for years has remained defiantly higher than peers, thanks to its focus on value added products & unmatched machining capability. We believe, with sourcing of key raw materials (Steel 95%) from a group company on favorable terms akin to its peers, AAL would be in an inimitable position to offer better value propositions to its marquee clients, which would be a game-changer for the company. Value added Machining & Sub-assembly production constitute more than half (51%). As AAL strives to churn out more value added
components, margin improvement seems natural corollary.
Large scale Capex funded by cheaper debt likely to bear fruit
AAL‟s large scale debt laden capex program of Rs87.1bn (FY09-12) since last auto-slowdown in FY09, we believe, is just behind us. The Company is likely to see turnaround in FCF, which would boost financial outlook and valuation going forward. Further, AAL is mulling a captive EPC division to reduce Capex execution costs in future. The cost of debt stayed at ~7.5%.
Kicker from fresh global OEMs’ move to sustain momentum
Leading global OEMs like Audi, VW, GM, Ford, JLR, Ranault etc which have set up shops here (on cost arbitrage) as regional hub, is getting encouraging local demands as well. Their overall plan to expand Indian operations is fast changing, resulting in incremental demand. Focused on promising Passenger Vehicle segment, fortified with Capex, will enable it to cater to the evolving fashion of cars, and SUVs, which is witnessing supra-average industry demand. Monetary & Fiscal impetus would revive auto demand in 2HFY14e with clear-cut fuel policy to clear buyers‟ confusion, which will set growth momentum of AAL.
Inexpensive valuation untenable of a leading player, sustaining pricing power for years: Prolonged Aberration Set To Reverse
AAL is the 2nd
largest forging company, focused on progressive value addition, introduction of new products to improve margins and retain pricing power. Ability to raise cheaper debts for growth is assuring. We believe, the expected return far outweighs the inherent risk and AAL‟s extant valuation has hefty upside potential.

Fresh Raw Material Linkage, the big game changer
We analyzed raw material (RM) intensity across industry peers and found that the average RM cost has been hovering around 50% of sales. Further, we noticed that players have either advantage of backward linkage from a group entity OR proximity to RM sources. AAL has for years been in a disadvantage position, sourcing key RM (chiefly alloy steel and scrap 90%) from open market, is set to derive big advantage as, we believe, is likely to source key RMs from OCL Iron & Steel Ltd, which has set up a cold rolling (CR) mill purportedly for AAL and is on the verge of commissioning another state-of-the art casting unit in Rajasthan. AAL‟s manufacturing cost is the least among peers, while RMC/Sales stood highest at 60%. We envisage ~10% margin buffer, which would prove nemesis to its peers. Though we have not modeled possible cost benefit of this arrangement, we await management‟s clarification on the same. However, the 2012 Annual Report of AAL and OCLISL left many indications for our prognosis coming true in medium term. We believe, AAL could partially transmit benefit to OEM clients, while keeping maximum gains for it. This would, we envisage, result in expansion in market share, improvement in asset turnover and return parameters going ahead.

Better terms of RM sourcing : +ve impact on WC
We also observed that Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) highest in case of AAL, which is set to improve even on modest favorable terms by RM supplier as the DPO is the least (27days) at 50% lower than the industry average. We expect 25-30 days enhancement of DPO going ahead, which would sweeten CCC by equal margin. We envisage status quo to modest improvement for DSO & DIO. However, we‟ve not modeled any possible enhancement in DPO, which will greatly influence Operating Cash Flow.

Large-scale Capex targeted towards more machining & products, behind us; pricing power intact; spike in asset utilization to boost RoE
We believe, the negative FCF thanks to large capex (Rs37.5bn in FY11, Rs12.9bn in FY12), could be one the prime reason for subdued stock undervaluation, as the business was requiring massive lift up to match the OEM‟s plans as well as investment necessitated to cater to new tastes of luxury cars, SUVs, even as it strives to deliver more value added products However, key point stands apart over the years, which we believe, the street ignored all along, is its sustainable pricing power, reflected in the margins. We see the asset turnover to look up in future, which would positively boost RoE. The FY06-12 Capex amounted to Rs109.5bn vs Rs44.3bn in peer firm Bharat Forge Ltd (~2.5x)

Presence across nearly all sub-segments and benign govt policies: Big +ve
Exim data reveals that, India is net importer of auto components for years and the trend is estimated to continue in future due to OEMs not finding right kind of vendors, complying their scale and quality parameters. AAL, which has been supplying critical auto components to OEMs, is progressively striving to introduce more products per vehicles. From the product portfolio (>>) of Amtek and the industry structure (see Exhibit-3) (Souce: ACMA), we understand that Amtek has positioned itself (partially /fully) in nearly all segments (84%) of the industry (sans Auto Electrical). Industry sources relay that OEMs are fast adopting localization on cost consideration.AAL to gain larger market share in each segment going ahead. Industry consultants opine that global OEMs have already started the process of mending local vendors, with a view to reduce import content. Further, Centre‟s CAD (current a/c deficit) reduction drive would result in benign fiscal policies encouraging localization.

Global OEMs are now more bullish on India; SUVs & Luxury Cars shining We noticed in recent times that the management of global OEMs have turned more bullish on India, as a great consumption story, which earlier thought of as only an export hub. Companies, like VW along with sister concerns SKODA, GM, Ford, JLR, Volvo etc in recent times evinced interest to ramp up their marketing set up in response to the encouraging sales trend in recent times even in the backdrop of tepid demand from compact car segment. OEM majors opined that, changing fuel price regime has impacted compact car volume in the lower end segment, which will eventually look up. Also, clarity on fuel policy was hindering investments from OEM side. With clarity on diesel pricing policy, OEMs‟ investments are now expected to gear up boosting volume prospect of AAL in medium to long term. .
Expected Return far outweighs the Risks, big time capex behind us: Buy The stock is lying low at near multi-year low, though we found apparently no fundamental reason which could have triggered such price capitulation. We believe, street is becoming unjustifiably circumspect of its acquisition drive and aggressive capex in the past to improve its product portfolio on larger scale and reduce risk. However, we understand that acquisition is imperative, given smaller players face extinction on lack of technological and financial wherewithal to grow, and appropriate to come under a bigger umbrella to contribute meaningfully to growth. We believe big-time capex are behind us, and asset utilization level to progressively improve. Amtek has been successfully grown the acquired companies, Ahmednagar Forging, a case in point. (>> promoter track record). Our estimation for FY14e suggests a price objective of Rs126 even for Bear Case Scenario. For Bull Case, the same is Rs200 for a 1 year price objective (>>valuation) We further noted that the promoters have contributed Rs10.13-bn so far in last decade, at an average cost of Rs257/share.

Consolidation Move by AAL in 2009-10
AAL initiated consolidation measures (petition filed in Punjab & Haryana High Court) to merge Amtek India Ltd, Ahmednagar Forging Ltd, Amtek Ring Gears Ltd, Amtek Cranckshaft Ltd and others with itself in 2009-10 but apparently could not succeed, on lack of support from lenders.

Exhibit:6 Legends to the Organization Structure
Inference on Group structure
We noticed that the fresh triggers for AAL mostly emanates from seemingly unimportant associate companies. We believe, even as promoters strive to secure the much desired cheaper raw materials as backward linkage to reduce prime cost, for years, the street either downplayed the development or become too much pessimistic on such move. We notice, similar move enabled peer firms in the past to sustain in the competitive environment. (>> Associate Cos)

Near Term (2013) Automobile Sectoral Outlook: Temporary Flux
Stable Outlook for 2013:
We expect muted volume growth in the passenger vehicle (PV) and negative volume growth in commercial vehicle (CV) segments to continue in FY14e till improvement in macro-economic situations are visible. PV volumes are expected to perk up post budget and transmission of monetary measures by banks, adopted by RBI of late in Jan-end. We see much of the pre-December‟12 deferment demand on diesel price stalemate to translate post budget. Also, we expect, the Centre to pare excise duty in sub-C segment PVs to boost demand.
LCVs to drive CV volumes:
We envisage overall growth in CVs to be 10%-11% in FY14e, driven by the light commercial vehicle (LCVs) segment which is expected to post volume growth of ~15-20% YoY. The projected LCV volume growth rate is lower than the growth rate of ~26% posted in the Apr-Dec‟12 period, with the moderation attributed to the likely increase in diesel prices.
Fiscal, Monetary Policies to Drive MHCVs:
The sales of medium and heavy CVs (MHCVs) would critically hinge on monetary and fiscal policy changes in FY14e if any. A continuation of industrial activity at the current level is likely to lead to negative growth of 6%-9% in MHCV domestic volumes. However, we believe policies conducive to capital/Infra investment in the Budget, could possibly drive MHCV sales
volumes up by 3%-4% in FY14e. Also, annulment of mining ban in key mineral rich states
possibly in 2HFY14e, could revive MHCV demand as well. LCV demand as such would be higher in medium to long-term on structural issues. (India: LCV: MHCV Ratio ~4 vs 2 in developed markets)
Utility Vehicles continue to propel PV Growth:
We expect domestic PV volumes to grow 8%-9% YoY in 2013. Utility vehicles (UVs) with projected growth of 30%-35% would be the driver for overall PV volumes on the backdrop of 38% growth registered during Apr-Dec‟12 period. The growth moderation could be on diesel price hike. However, general election could propel sales growth in UVs as political circles buy generally for poll campaigning. However, cars and vans are likely to display lower growth rates of around 3-4%.
Capacity Build-up by OEMs to persist in spite of slowdown:
From industry sources we note that, production capacity in PVs and CVs to grow by ~15% and 3%, respectively, in FY14e. Capacity additions in PVs would be prompted by the need to protect market share and for building a large production base for exports.
Govt’s move to diesel price rationalization may not matter much in long run
Diesel variants of small cars are priced 20%-25% higher than their petrol counterparts and that of mid-sized cars are priced 15%-20% higher. Thus, it makes economic sense for buyers to opt for diesel cars so long as the price differential between the two fuels is substantial, exceeding Rs20/l. However, we believe, if fuel price differential to reduce going forward, it may not impact the higher echelon consumers preferring diesel for its superior performance, but initially some resistance to come from low end consumers, which may shift to petrol variants, thus keeping the overall demand intact. Also, we notice, consumers are preferring hybrid vehicles (petrol + CNG) which at the moment economic than Diesel variants too.
2-3 Wheeler demand stable
Due to depressed rural income on lower than average Kharif agricultural output, along with insignificant MSP (minimum support price) hike in different crops by Centre, demand for 2-wheelers has affected, but the situation could improve in FY14e. Three wheeler demands have been more or less mirrors that of 2-wheelers.
Tractor Demand currently subdued would pick up momentum in FY14e
Only 5% of agricultural households own tractors and given the govt‟s focus on improving agricultural production to alleviate the rural economy, we believe tractor demand will be boosted by shortage of farm labor, rising cost of labor and livestocks, the need to raise crop yields and increase in non-agricultural purposes (construction etc) (~25% of total demand).

Key Assumption for Growth We envisage near-term moderate de-growth (7%) in revenue for the group on current slump state in demand. However, we visualize growth to recover from 2HFY14e onwards on monetary policy stimulus and government‟s reform measures alleviating the economy, which could revive the crucial mining/infra sectors. Revival in mining sector on annulment of ban on mining that exists now on Apex Court directive over three crucial mineral rich States of Odisha, Karnataka and Goa, would resuscitate MHCV segment, which currently witnessing tepid demand. We assume 15% growth for FY14e and 20% in FY15e. Note that our projections are conservative on the backdrop of 48% & 36% growth in revenue in FY12 and FY11 respectively. We expect raw material prices to be soft to stable over medium term. And power cost to rise moderately YoY. Elongated sector slowdown could be most potential downside risk to our estimates.

We value the Company on relative methodology of applying Price Earning Multiples (PEMs) to the respective net income estimates of each of the performing subsidiaries to arrive at equity value of each entity. We have considered the JV investments at book value. We have applied 40% holding company discount. However, we note that, since, control of the parent over subsidiaries have been substantial, the discount should have been lower. To get a range of equity valuation we have considered two extremes one for Base Case and the other one for Bull Case. Even for Base Case scenario, the applied PEM of 5x is 1/3
rd of the comparable
peer company‟s (in terms of manufacturing scale & financials etc) valuation (15x Bharat Forge Standalone on FY12 earnings) For conservative assessment, we have considered the least of the two valuations scenario, and arrived at per share value for our price objective. .

Amtek Auto Ltd: Initiating Coverage (Buy) Turbo-charged for next up-cycle around
[email protected] Strictly Confidential: Only for internal circulation 19
Focus on higher value addition led to high capex in recent past, crimped RoE, RoCE in the interim We noticed that AAL‟s huge Capex plans in last few years depressed the Asset Turnover parameters, (off 45% from peak in FY07). However, the Company is now capacitated with generating 2.5X current turnover in future without any incremental capex (Bharat Forge FY12 Asset Turnover stood at 1.37x). The Company‟s focus to introduce more value added products through higher machining can be attributed to massive capex, which is behind us. With pricing power intact, the return parameters (RoE & RoCE) are set to improve once the auto sector down-cycle reverses and asset turnover bettered. The raw material linkage, (as discussed earlier) would render it flexibility in strategizing improving volume (asset turnover) and simultaneously expanding margins.
Conclusion & Recommendation
We firmly believe that, such high valuation discount to mean is not untenable for a leading company in the industry, having sustained pricing power and ability to move up in value chain. In due course, the valuation should revert back to mean. We recommend “Buy” in the stock, for rich appreciation in long-term, as in the short-term prices are expected to be tempered on prevailing slowdown in the domestic auto sector, which is likely to look up from 2HFY14 on improvement in macro-economic environment and replacement cycle of MHCVs to kick in once the prevailing mining issues are sorted out.
Financials & Price Movements : Disconnect is visible, not warranted for years We observed that the stock is incessantly underperforming the broader market indices for last 6 years, marked by high degree of volatility despite bettering its financials barring FY09 due to auto-sector recession, the year which it saw along with broad market, massive price capitulation. We found that partly, the sell-off by bankrupt Lehman Brothers‟ in 2008-09, could be one of the reasons for massive correction in stock prices on that year. We notice too that 90% price fall in that year, is devoid of huge volume actions. In spite of price meltdown, key PE investors and other Funds reposed confidence on fundamental and have stayed put. (>> Fund Holding) We provide other Auto-component stalwarts’ performances for comparison with AAL, although barring BFL, the other two firms’ operational metrics are incomparable with AAL.

Growth Outlook
We infer from past growth trends and recent trend-reversal in sequential income growth
trajectory of Amtek Group (listed) firms that, the sagging growth could last for 1-2 more
quarters before making a recovery. The recent expansionary monetary stance of RBI & Union
Budget 2014 could have 1-quarter lag effect of pushing the consumer demand. We believe,
auto sector down-cycle is about to tapering off and Amtek Auto Ltd (Standalone & Indian
subsidiaries) could finish FY13e (June ending) with flat to marginal de-growth, with rebound in
demand from middle of FY14e (Sept‟13 onwards). However, its UK subsidiary would continue
to perform well through FY13e on robust sales growth in JLR and D, E & F segment cars.

Associate Cos: Interesting Case of Supply Chain Management
AAL- Brassco Estates - OCL Iron & Steel Ltd connection
Brassco Estates Pvt Ltd, fully owned by AAL‟s core promoter Mr. Arvind Dham and family, had issued NCDs worth Rs4.35bn (Care Rating AA (SO)) on 3 Aug 2010 (Click Here) to subscribe to the 2%-Redeemable Non-Cumulative Preferential shares @ Rs100/share (FV Rs10) in OCL Iron & Steel Ltd (OCLISL), to enable it to leverage adequately and expand its core steel making business in Odisha besides setting up of auto-grade value added product facilities in Rajasthan.
OCLISL’s grand plan
OCLISL is having 120KTPA sponge iron facility at Rajgangpur, Odisha with 14MW captive power plant. Capacity utilisation stood at 96% (Prodn-106KTPA vs Capacity 120KTPA) in FY12 is set to rise further, with the addition of value added steel products, says the Annual Report of OCLISL. OCLISL produced 81.9KT of steel in FY12 and is setting up a 700KTPA greenfield integrated steel project at Sundergarh, Odisha (Click Here) OCLISL has set up recently, a 3-Station Cold Rolling (CR) mill at Chopanki, Rajasthan. This facility is loaded with imported machineries. Besides it is currently setting up another state-of-the art Casting Manufacturing Unit at 14 acre unit at Kaharani (Bhiwadi Extn), RIICO industrial Area, Rajasthan equipped with machineries and knowhow from globally reputed firms from Germany, China and India. OCLISL possess captive Iron Ore and Coal Mining (Click Here ).
OCLISL, in Jan‟12 also fully taken over Chandrapur (Maharashtra) based BS Ispat Ltd (BSIL) having capacity of 200TPD sponge iron and captive power plant though a SPV, Oriental Iron Casting Ltd in which OCLISL‟s equity investment stood at Rs1,985mn. BSIL is engaged in sponge iron manufacturing having captive coal mining (Click Here). Also, OCLISL has taken over Delhi based Aron Auto Ltd. Investment in the equity of Aron Auto stood at Rs0.5mn.
Arrangement to avert debt burden of AAL
OCLISL was bought by Garima Buildcorp (75% stake) (along with Gateway Impex P Ltd) from erstwhile promoters of OCL India Ltd @21/sh (FV Re1) (Click Here) in FY10. Garima Buildcorp is the subsidiary of Gateway Impex P Ltd, fully owned by entities related to AAL promoters. We believe, this arrangement is just to avert debt burden on AAL and (possibly) legal constraint of transfer of mining assets to other companies. The indications made in 2012 Annual Reports of AAL (page-35) and OCLISL (page-21) amply led us to believe that, OCLISL is most likely to supply raw materials to AAL group companies from its newly functional CR Mill facilities at Chopanki and upcoming casting unit at Rajasthan. BSIL acquisition is, we believe, is intended to supply steel to Western India facilities of Ahemednagar Forging Ltd (AFL). This we believe would prove a great value driver to AAL going forward.
Alliance Integrated Metaliks Ltd - AAL link
We understood from BSE Listed (last year listed, earlier listed in DSE) Delhi based Alliance Integrated Metaliks Ltd (AIML) (Click Here), whose website says of being promoted by an un-named $1.4bn automotive conglomerate (we believe it’s Amtek Auto Ltd ), currently engaged in large steel power plant structurals and Balance of Plants (BoP) for thermal power companies (capacity 100KTPA) aiming to cater to power developers in the North India belt (click for AIML// IM). We believe, AIML could also supply products to other JVs, particularly, American Railcar Industries in Punjab. Though AAL along with other two listed subsidiaries hold only 2.02% stake in AIML, the Board of AIML is replete with Directors of other Amtek Group Companies. AIML is currently controlled by WLD Investments (48.64%), who in 2008 bought ailing Rollatainers (see later) and turned around. AIML is currently expanding its operations at its 40 acre plant housing modern equipments.(Click Here) Both OCLISL and AIML are currently undertaking massive expansion plans by raising debt.

Amtek has all along adopted inorganic growth strategy of growth, which has been met with reasonable success. We present two cases of wealth creation. We noticed that, these apart, all other acquisitions have been successful in terms of integration, growth. Also, we did not notice any labour unrest usually the scene in auto industry, observed in many a cases, including reputed ones.
Case 1: Ahmednagar Forging Ltd (AFL)
Amtek Auto bought controling stake from erstwhile promoters of AFL in 2002 @34.50/sh when it was in red with stagnating revenue and low profitability. Since, Management Buy-Out (MBO), Revenue and market capitalisation swelled 14x and 18x to-date respectively. (See Financial Review and projections)
Case 2: Rollatainers Ltd: out of the woods
Mr Dham backed WLD investments had acquired ailing packaging firm Rollatainers in 2007 for Rs90mn from CDR cell through a BIFR package. Through management change and financial backing the Company has in Nov 2012, came out of SICA. Market Capitalization then was mere Rs900mn, which swelled to the current level of Rs4,348 mn (4.8x rise). It‟s worth noting here that, in 1999 FMCG major ITC evinced interest buying out Rollatainers, but backed out on valuation disagreement.

Our inference on corporate governance : We inferred that all the ventures (in the public domain), undertaken apparently under the banner of Mr Dham, have met with reasonable success. They are primarily funded through bank (INR) borrowings and infusion of preference capital by entities seemingly under him. We further noticed from market circles that, deep pessimism has developed regarding management functioning (opacity) of AAL. We deciphered the reasons, and found that pessimism might have been developed over floating of many private companies by Mr Dham, and his stoic silence on such ventures. But, in comparison, we observed that peers in the industry has also have track record of floating myriad subsidiaries (in one instance even touching 75nos) yet enjoy good investor backing on management‟s media/investor activism. We believe, though AAL‟s performance is reasonably satisfactory, but lot of groundwork has to be made on the part of the management to allay apprehension of the investor community. We reiterate that robust, timely and effective Corporate Communication along with reporting standards has to improve drastically from the present level to quell such pessimism. Also, more investor friendly/rewarding measures, like minimum 20% dividend payout (rather buyback of shares) have to be considered to negate the investor-apathetic corporate behavior. We find the corporate presentations (should be quarterly rather than once a year) stereotypic (rather dynamic) lacking details on JV‟s performance and other facets of the business, befitting to the stature of a corporate belonging to larger broader indices such as CNX200, CNX Auto etc.
10 years’ Promoters’ Equity Contribution Trend Sounds Commitment To Growth We tracked the equity issuance history of the Company to core promoters, and ascertained that a cumulative amount of Rs10.13-bn has been infused by them for 39.4 mn aggregate shares of Rs2 each at an average price of Rs 257.22/share adjusting for past 1:1 bonus issue and 5:1 stock split. We observed that most of the times the funds were infused to supplement acquisition funding of AAL, which, we think goes to prove the commitment of the promoters for the growth cause of the Company.

The No. 1 forging line as per Sumitomo sources, expected to reach full production capacity in the second half of 2012. Hence the JV had decided to install a second forging line to meet rising demand. The No. 2 forging line that was scheduled to be installed will introduce Sumitomo Metals' latest crankshaft forging technologies such as high speed and automation. Through the JV Sumitomo aspires to have 10% global share in crankshaft. The finance details of the JV are not available. JV with American Railcar Inc, US AAL through its wholly owned subsidiary Amtek Transportation System, has forged a 50:50 JV with Nasdaq listed Amerian Railcar Inc (American Railcar JV) in the style of Amtek Railcar Industries Private Limited which will manufacture railcar products from a new facility located in Sarai Banjara, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab. The JV aims to provide railcars to a wide spectrum of users to carry commodities such as oil, chemicals, grain, food, iron ore fine slurry, Cement clinkers and aggregates. The JV has been audited by the Indian Railways to manufacture railcars in India. During 2011 the JV was selected by the Indian Railways Research Designs and Standards Organization to design and build four different higher axle load carrying freight railcars for the Indian market. Furthermore, this should enable it to provide the Indian railcar marketplace with the newest and most sought after products. The JV has produced in Jan 2012 the first prototype of railway wagons which has been accepted by the Indian Railways. Indian Railways is undergoing an extensive upgrade of the rail infrastructure (DFC noted below) to increase volume by increasing train speeds, reducing dwell times and increasing the carrying capacity of their railcar fleet. The railcars will be the first to be certified for the 25t and 32.5t heavy axle load service. We expect with the advent of railcars, several key industries are set to adopt cost-effective railway transport systems shunning road cargo. We envisage better prospects for railcars in the long-term.
