strengths and a comparable earnings growth (16% vs 17% CAGR for FY10-
FY12) the two-wheeler stocks are trading at a high discount to the broader
market multiple of 17x FY12E. This sector compares very well with the FMCG
space on most counts like revenue visibility and efficiency and scores very
high in terms of competition intensity, but is available at a steep discount. We
expect the valuation gap to narrow in favour of two-wheeler stocks.

„ Rising income levels to improve penetration: India compares very poorly
with most emerging markets in terms of two-wheeler penetration (see exhibit
1). With rising incomes, penetration levels are expected to follow other
emerging markets. We do not expect India to follow the Chinese path as most
factors that harmed the two-wheeler market in China - a) restriction on
gasoline two wheelers, b) ban on entry of two wheelers in the top cities and c)
very efficient public transport - are not applicable for India.

„ Young population profile supports growth: c.70% of India’s population is


between the 15 to 49 age group, largely the target audience for two-wheelers.
Moreover, as per NASSCOM, c.4.5 mn people are expected to graduate in
2010 and this number is expected to grow every year. Age-wise review for
motorcycles (see exhibit 3) shows that penetration levels below 40 years is
below the national average. This age group is the biggest growth driver for
the industry as it forms bulk of the working group which has the buying
power.

„ Rising prosperity in rural India a big opportunity: Strong income growth in


rural India, due to higher minimum support prices (MSP) for crops and
government spending, in the recent years is resulting in a big catch-up for
rural customers with their urban counterparts for consumption (see exhibit
4). Two-wheelers being the cheapest mode of motorised mobility are being
lapped up by rural customers, resulting in not only a broad-based growth but
also reducing exposure to global economic volatility. Rural India, which
accounts for c.65% of population share, accounted for less than 40% of total
two-wheeler sales in FY08. Growth in the rural markets for the past three
years has been higher than in the urban markets, driving companies to
increase their rural footprint. Despite this, penetration in rural markets is
almost one-third of the penetration in the bigger cities (ex-top 7 cities) (see
exhibit 5).

„ Higher first time buyers to feed strong replacement demand: With


increased demand from the rural markets many first time users are joining
the two-wheeler bandwagon. For 2009, the first time buyers are expected to
have accounted for 58% of motorcycle sales against 52% in 2008 (see exhibit
6). Such sharp improvement happened despite finance constraints, which
hampered demand from first time buyers in the urban markets. We expect
contribution from first time buyers to increase further due to the very low
penetration in rural India. Strong increase in first time buyers will result in big
replacement opportunity in the future as normally the replacement cycle is
around 4 years.

„ Huge export potential: Exports out of India have grown at a CAGR of 32%
since FY00 to 1.1 mn units in FY10 against a growth of 9.7% in domestic sales
to 9.4 mn units. While this growth seems spectacular it pales significantly
when compared to the 10 mn units exported by China (see exhibit 7). China
is currently the biggest two-wheeler manufacturer in the world with exports
higher than domestic (gasoline two-wheelers) sales. China accounts for close
to 70% of the world’s two-wheeler market.

„ The product profile for India and China is similar with both being big players
in the sub 150 cc market (see exhibit 8). However, a big negative for China,
and thus a positive for India, is an inherent association of low quality and
price with Chinese products. With increasing per capita income of developing
nations customers will definitely look at quality options which can be an
advantage for India. This trend has already started in Africa where Indian
players (Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor), who have been relatively new to the

JM Financial Institutional Securities Private Limited Page 7


Two–wheeler Industry 15 June 2010

market, have been able to raise market share despite cheaper offerings from
the Chinese. This is due to better quality products which are less prone to
breakdown. Bajaj Auto claims it has market share of over 15% in Nigeria,
Africa’s biggest market, and was able to increase prices by 5% in November
2009, commanding a big premium over Chinese competition. The export
opportunity is expected to be bigger than domestic in the long-term, opening
up a huge growth frontier for existing players. Africa and Asia will remain the
key export markets.

Insulated from rise in interest rates


Currently customers who seek to avail financing for two wheelers have to pay an
interest of c.24% and make a down-payment of c.25%. Despite such stringent
costs financing is not easily available as major financiers like ICICI Bank have
exited the market. Other financiers who are active in the market have been
selective in lending by rejecting over 50% of loan applications. Credit quality has
also improved due to the CIBIL database (which tracks the credit history of
borrowers). Currently c.35% of two wheelers is financed as against c.75% in FY07.
This reduced dependence on financing and very high interest rates makes the
sector less susceptible to rise in interest rates.

Two wheelers and cars to co-exist


„ We believe that the Indian market will not follow the western trend of
motorisation wherein people bypassed two wheelers for cars as their first
mode of motorised transport. Also, we do not expect existing users to
replace their two-wheelers with cars. We expect two-wheelers and cars to co-
exist harmoniously with the former being the daily workhorse. In addition to
the cost advantage (see exhibit 9), lack of adequate road infrastructure and
ease of commuting makes two-wheelers irreplaceable.

„ Limited players to share the growing pie: Unlike the car market, this
industry is not exposed to competition onslaught by new players. All global
majors have been operating in India for at least a decade. Over 90% of the
market is shared between four players, of whom two are home grown
companies (Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor).

„ Between FY01 and FY10 the combined market share (see exhibit 10) of the
top four players increased to 95% from 80%, marginalising even Yamaha.
However, in the car industry, market leader Maruti Suzuki has lost market
share and new players have taken over considerably. With limited number of
players, the industry enjoys better pricing power and this is reflected in the
46% per vehicle operating profit growth for the top three listed players in
FY10 against a revenue growth of 30%.

Chinese or other Asian players not a threat


„ We do not expect the Chinese or other Asian players to dent the existing
market as entry barriers in the two-wheeler market are very high due to the
extremely competitive environment and very demanding customers.
Incumbent players offer superior products at competitive prices, which these
players have been unable to do so far. Companies like Hyosung Group of
Korea and SYM of Taiwan have attempted in vain to make a mark in the Indian
market. Even the much hyped Mahabharata Motors, a JV between Universal
Group of India and Indonesia’s Salim Group, has not been able to attract
buyers.

Scooters to outperform motorcycles


„ The scooter segment is in a sweet spot as industry wide demand outstrips
supply. Thanks to Honda Motorcycle and Scooters (HMSI) thrust, the segment,
which was once declining, is growing rapidly (see exhibit 11).

„ Switch to gearless revived the segment: Shift to the gearless technology


revived the scooter segment, which was other wise loosing out to motorcycles
on account of convenience and fuel efficiency. Shift to gearless made scooters
very convenient to ride, making them popular in crowded cities and markets.

„ A big play on empowerment of women: Contrary to general perception,


over 70% of scooter users in India are males. This shows there is a huge
opportunity to increase sales to female users as they get more empowered.
Progressive states like Delhi, Punjab and Gujarat have household scooter
penetration of over 20%. However, remaining states have penetration levels
below 10% with Eastern states under 5%. With increasing economic growth
and thrust on women empowerment, we expect these states to see a steady
increase in scooter demand.

„ Strong demand and pricing environment: Unlike other segments, the


scooter sector enjoys higher demand than the collective industry capacity.
Markets like Mumbai have waiting period of over 3 months for popular
brands like Activa, and HMSI is believed to have dealer orders backlog of over
300,000 units. This has resulted in strong pricing environment in the
segment as players are scrambling to meet demand.

„ Versatility, unisex appeal biggest USPs: A scooter, unlike motorcycle, due


to its structure, doubles up as a utility vehicle which can be used to carry a
wide array of goods. Scooters carrying anything from luggage to LPG cylinder
are a common sight in India, making them very popular with households and
businesses. What further boosts desirability of a scooter is its ability to cater
to both men and women across a much wider age group.

Up-trading to gain momentum


„ We expect the Indian two-wheeler market to move up the value chain faster
(see exhibit 12) as rising income levels and media penetration increase
demand for premium bikes which satisfy the aspirational need of the
customer. The manufacturers are doing their bit to expedite the transition by
introducing premium features in the commuter executive bikes and by
bringing down the entry level price of powerful bikes. Recent examples
include HMSI’s launch of Twister, a 110 cc bike with premium features, in the
executive segment and BJAUT’s launch of a 150 cc variant of Discover at a
price of Rs46,000. BJAUT’s launch is a significant one as it’s the first premium
bike under Rs50,000 and is an attempt to democratise performance biking.

Market share to change hands


„ We expect the churn in market share between the top four players in the
motorcycle market to continue in FY11. HH, the market leader will further
cede ground to a resurgent competition (Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor) which has
launched new models in the key executive segment which accounts for c.60%
of motorcycle demand and c.75% of HH’s sales.

„ HH ceding marketshare gifted to it by competition in FY08: The rise in


HH’s marketshare in FY08 was due to wrong strategies (of exiting the 100 cc
segment) adopted by home grown competitors (BJAUT and TVSL). This gave
HH a free run for over two years during which it increased its marketshare
from 48% to a high of 64% in August 2010.

„ BJAUT’s course correction has paid big dividends: Having lost market
share for two years the competition realised their mistake and started
focusing on the 100 cc segment again. BJAUT re-introduced the Discover
brand with a 100 cc engine in August 2009 and since then has been able to
regain market share from HH (see exhibit 13). Discover 100 has rapidly
grown to become the third largest selling brand in the industry, quashing the
myth that HH’s dominance in this segment is invincible.

JM Financial Institutional Securities Private Limited Page 12


Two–wheeler Industry 15 June 2010

„ TVSL and HMSI also increasing market share: TVSL and HMSI have also
introduced new products in the executive segment, increasing pressure on
HH. TVSL launched Jive, the only bike in the market with an automatic clutch,
with an aim to create a niche in the voluminous executive segment. This
vehicle, due to its technology, will take some time to become popular. HMSI’s
Twister, a 110 cc bike, is targeted towards the higher end of the executive
segment which is dominated by HH’s Passion.

„ Strong volumes driven by domestic resurgence and export ramp-up: We


expect BJAUT’s volumes CAGR of 22% in FY10-FY12. Success of recent
launches like Discover 100 and 150 and Pulsar 135 will enable the company
to grow its domestic sales at a CAGR of 23%, beating the industry growth by a
wide margin, and ensure further marketshare gains. Growth in exports (33%
of volumes) of 18% will be driven by ramp-up in the African continent (c.45%
of exports) and pick-up in demand from the Asian markets (c.35% of exports).

„ Reduced dependence on three-wheelers: Strong growth in Discover and


Pulsar (see exhibit 16) has enabled the company to drastically reduce its
dependence on the three wheeler segment for profitability. These two brands
accounted for c.33% of overall volumes in FY09, which increased to c.42% in
FY10, and we believe it will further improve to c.58% in FY11. This will enable
the company to post strong margins despite lower contribution from three-
wheelers (estimated to be 10.7% of overall volumes against 12.0% in FY10).

„ Operating margins to remain at c.20% in FY10-12: We expect the company


to hold on to the 20% margin mark due to strong operating leverage,
improved motorcycle mix and ramp-up in tax haven operations. All these will
help the company mitigate the impact of lower contribution from three-
wheeler segment and higher commodity prices.

„ Strong R&D to sustain product excitement: BJAUT has made rapid strides
since 2001, when it launched Pulsar - its first indigenous bike, to become the
product leader in the Indian market. This has been achieved by a very strong
R&D headed by Dr. Abraham Joseph. Renault-Nissan choosing BJAUT as the
lead partner in the three way car JV is the best acknowledgement of its R&D
prowess. We expect BJAUT to continue to be ahead of peers when it comes to
technology and launches. The company has already done some disruptive
launches like the new Pulsar 220 and Discover 150, further cementing its
position as the price and product leader.

„ Offers multiple triggers: Amongst all the two-wheeler names, BJAUT offers
the highest triggers right from launch of KTM bikes to entry into the car
market with Renault-Nissan. First of the Made in India KTM bikes will be rolled
out in Europe and other markets by end-2010 followed by the Indian market
in 2011. These 125 cc bikes will carry premium pricing in-line with the KTM
brand, resulting in huge profitability due to the low cost of manufacturing in
India. These bikes are expected to do well due to the relaxed license
requirement in Europe for sub-250 cc street bikes. In India these bikes will
halve the entry price point for performance bikes, expanding the market
considerably. The small car is scheduled to be launched in 2012 and is
expected to be branded as Nissan/Renault around the world while BJAUT will
do the manufacturing. The management is quite confident of maintaining
margins at c.20% even in the car business and claims that the project cost is
1/7 the amount normally spent by big car companies on a similar project. We
expect both ventures to be very promising; however, we have not factored in
any of these in our estimates yet, exposing our earnings to an upside risk.

„ Strong R&D to sustain product excitement: BJAUT has made rapid strides
since 2001, when it launched Pulsar - its first indigenous bike, to become the
product leader in the Indian market. This has been achieved by a very strong

„ Best placed to tap the huge export opportunity: We believe, BJAUT is best
placed to tap the export opportunity due to its strong overseas presence, tie-
up with KTM and an operational plant in China. The company’s exports have
witnessed a CAGR of 33% between FY06 and FY10 and have grown 25x since
FY01 (see exhibit 17). BJAUT has been focusing on the African markets in the
last three years and has grown there rapidly to make it the company’s largest
overseas market.

Bajaj Auto 15 June 2010

The African opportunity – India of 1980s: The world’s second most populous
continent is the final frontier for the two-wheeler companies as it offers a
market, as big as India, in terms population with abysmally low penetration
levels (below 2%). What brighten prospects further are the low income levels,
poor infrastructure and smaller regional markets which favor the two-wheelers.
Currently c.2.5mn units are sold in the African continent with Nigeria being the
biggest market with c.1mn units. Bulk of the demand is from the taxi segment
(motorcycles are converted to three-wheelers by attaching a trailer). This market
is predominantly occupied with entry level bikes, which are expected to be very
rugged to handle the overloading and bad roads. Chinese have been the biggest
exporters to Africa at the expense of refurbished Japanese exports. Very low
pricing by the Chinese rapidly eroded demand for the refurbished Japanese
exports. However, quality has been a big issue with the Chinese bikes, especially
for people who use them as taxis. This is where the Indian players (BJAUT and
TVSL) have been able to rapidly establish themselves as they offer superior
quality at a reasonable premium. BJAUT has quickly grown to become the largest
non-Chinese player and commands c.50% price premium over the Chinese entry
level bikes. With rising income levels, customers are expected to upgrade to
quality bikes, which is again an advantage for the Indian manufacturers.

„ Eyeing Brazil and China: The company will be entering major markets like
China (largest market) and Brazil (fourth largest market) in the next few years
after tapping the African continent. The company already has a plant in China
which it is using for sourcing non-engine parts for exports to Africa. For the
Brazilian market, development of flex engines (which can work with high
ethanol content) is a requirement which the company can easily develop.

„ KTM alliance- blend of price leverage and cost advantage: BJAUT’s alliance
with KTM is a great marriage of frugal engineering and premium branding.
While BJAUT will develop and manufacture the new bikes KTM will sell them in
the North America and Europe market. This alliance is mutually beneficial as
it improves KTM’s profitability and provides BJAUT access to developed
markets. BJAUT currently holds 35% equity in KTM and we expect it to
become the majority owner in the future and further integrate KTM
operations into the company. The company will be launching the new 125 cc
bikes – the first from the alliance, by year-end (see exhibit 18)

„ Unbridled volume growth is history: Hero Honda (HH) had an unbridled


volume growth between FY08 and mid-FY10 with its marketshare improving
from 48% to 64% due to strong rural demand coupled with competition
shifting focus from the 100 cc segment. However, in August 2010 arch rival
BJAUT re-entered the 100 cc segment with Discover 100, and since then HH
has seen its marketshare retreat to 54% with unremitting underperformance.
We expect the company to underperform the industry with a volume growth
of 12% in FY11 and 8% in FY12.

„ Mix getting adverse: Increased competition to Splendor and Passion is


dragging the sales mix for HH. The contribution of these brands to overall
volumes has slipped from c.76% to c.73% in the recent months while
contribution from the low margin entry level bikes has increased (see exhibit
23 and 24). We expect the mix to dilute further as new launches from
competition gain further traction.

„ Inability to grow beyond Splendor-Passion: Making matters worse is HH’s


inability to grow beyond the Splendor and Passion brands. The company has
five brands beyond Passion which account for a mere 10% of overall volumes.
The company’s repeated attempts to push Glamour, Super Splendor and
Splendor NXG have been futile. Company’s aim to crack into the bigger bike
segment in a meaningful way has also been a failure. In this segment the
company is a distant third even trailing HMSI. Despite its wide reach and
network the company’s premium brands, CBZ Xtreme and Hunk, are outsold
by HMSI’s Unicorn on an individual basis despite HMSI’s limited reach and
higher prices. This throws up an interesting paradox wherein HH is the
preferred name in the executive segment but a distant third in the premium
segment. This proves that the brands are bigger than the company – Splendor
and Passion in case of HH, Pulsar and Discover in case of BJAUT, Scooty and
Apache in case of TVSL and Activa in the case of HMSI.

„ ‘Rural belongs to HH’ a myth: BJAUT’s Discover 100 is selling close to


90,000 units a month within nine months of its launch and is the third largest
selling model in the industry after HH’s Splendor (c.175,000) and Passion
(c.100,000). This would not have been possible without strong demand from
the rural markets, which historically has been HH’s forte (see exhibit 25).
Dealer checks indicate that rural sales of Discover 100 have been much
higher than the urban centers. This brand is particularly doing very well in the
Northern states like Uttar Pradesh which is the biggest market for entry and
executive segments. Strong growth in agricultural income and increased
media penetration is increasing aspirations of rural customers, making them
more open to new brands and premium bikes. This, according to us, is not a
good development for HH as its premium bikes do not excite the customer.

„ Rumored exports to Africa will not benefit much: We believe HH’s rumored
entry into Africa will not compensate for the loss in domestic market share
and will further hurt margins due to wafer thin profits in Africa. BJAUT, the
largest exporter to Africa from India, earns c.6% margin after factoring in
export benefits of c.8%. This is after being in the market for over three years
and after increasing prices considerably from the launch rates. The company
initially lost c.USD150 per bike in an attempt to establish themselves. The
overall African market is c.2.5mn units a year which is c.50% of HH’s
expected FY11 volumes, ruling out immediate gains on volumes. HH will have
to modify its existing CD Dawn, the cheapest HH bike, to meet the market
requirement in Africa and sell it at a much lower price. This, we believe, will
be very negative for margins as CD Dawn at its current prices is a drag on
margins.

„ Too early to play 2014 developments: We think it’s too early to play on
possible positive fallout of developments in 2014, when the JV expires. The
best possible out come for investors would be a merger of HMSI into HH. This
will increase the competitive position of HH by giving it access to HMSI’s
enviable scooter portfolio. It will also take out the conflict of interest existing
currently with Honda Motor Company (HMC) holding stakes in both HH and
HMSI. A lot will depend on HMC’s ambition and strategy as they are the ones
who have a higher bargaining power. What will further strengthen their
position is HMSI’s increasing marketshare in India, which is currently at
c.14%, and which we expect to increase to c.20% by 2014.

„ Moderate top line and PAT growth: We expect top line and PAT CAGR of
12% and 9% respectively between FY10-FY12E. Payout of extraordinary
dividend resulted in outflow of c.Rs25bn which will reduce the treasury
income going forward. Incremental benefits from tax haven operations are
limited and will not be able to negate the impact of higher commodity prices
and limited pricing actions (company has not increased prices of Splendor+).

„ Very high operating and financial leverage: The company so far has been
operating at sub-optimal level which will improve considerably with these
launches. We do not expect much increase in manpower and marketing
expenditure as both are adequately funded for the next two years. A D/E of
1x also provides ample financial leverage resulting in accelerated PAT growth.

„ Jive and Wego are realisation and margin accretive: Jive is priced at a
premium of c.16% over the Star range (weighted average), which is TVSL’s
largest selling bike. Wego is priced at a premium of c.11% over Scooty Streak,
the most expensive Scooty variant. Despite both products being marginally
heavier and technologically better the high realisation difference will result in
higher contribution, and consequently better margins.

„ Three-wheeler can provide huge upside: At current volumes, three-wheelers


are adding to profitability and once they achieve 4,000-5,000 unit/month run
rate they will be clocking margins of over 12%, making them big earning
drivers given that they are more than 2x the prices of motorcycles. Margins
can be higher if exports grow at a faster clip. For FY10-12E we expect
volumes of 38,000 units and 47,500 units respectively.

„ New launches fill a big gap in portfolio: Before the new launches TVSL was
not participating in 80% of scooter market and 60% of the motorcycle market.
Wego and Jive fill these glaring gaps in the portfolio.

„ Mopeds will continue to surprise: Rising economic activity in rural India has
revived the otherwise declining moped segment, which is a monopoly for
TVSL. This segment has grown by 16% since FY07 (see exhibit 31) as more
people upgraded from cycle to moped, the cheapest mode of motorised
transport. This puny looking vehicle which weighs c.80 kg can carry load of
over 200 kgs and traverse on almost all terrains. This makes it a big hit with
rural entrepreneurs who account for c.70% of its demand. Moped
predominantly has been a South India phenomenon with over 85% of them
being sold there. However, due to increasing prosperity in the Northern rural
belt the company has increased the supply to these states. Now c.30% of the
demand comes from non-south markets, reducing the geographical risk and
making the growth more sustainable. This business being a monopoly offers
TVSL attractive margins and increases its rural thrust.

„ Indonesia to achieve break-even during FY12E: We expect Indonesia to


break-even during FY12E and end the year with a loss of Rs200mn. As per the
management, the breakeven volumes are c.5,000 units against the current
volumes of over 2,000 units. Volumes are expected to improve as dealer
network expands from the current c.100 to over 150 in the next few months.
We expect volumes to move closer to 3,000 levels during 2HFY11.

Valuations
„ We value the standalone business at 11.5x FY12E earnings (PEG of 0.17x) and
the Indonesian business at 5x FY12E losses. We are valuing the Indonesian
losses at a lower multiple as these are start-up losses. This results in a
standalone value of Rs152 against a negative value of Rs4.2 per share,
leading to a combined value of Rs148. The stock is currently trading at 7.8x
FY12E standalone earnings with a throwaway PEG of 0.12x. We initiate
coverage with a BUY rating.

Key risks
„ Key downside risks are: a) Poor monsoons, b) steep increase in commodity
prices, and c) failure of new launches.

„ Key upside risks are: a) Management achieving its 2 mn volume guidance for
FY11E, and b) further decrease in commodity costs.
