warehouse management system for clients, new service offering in PTL
business and in building awareness in the retail/SME part of the market.
We assess the different parts of the ecommerce and related logistics ecosystem to better understand
their issues and options available to solve the same. Such assessment increases our confidence of
Delhivery gaining relevance in ecommerce logistics over time.
Amazon India: Service levels important; relies on Delhivery for large part of its outsourcing needs
Higher cost of insourced logistics potentially reflective of differentiated offering. Amazon has
invested in the Prime offering over the past eight years. Its captive logistics business has a scale of
business similar to Delhivery. While its costing per parcel appears to be at a premium to Delhivery
(close to Rs90 per parcel in our assessment), the same may be reflective of a timely offering. Note
that Amazon offers free same day/next day delivery to its prime customers with no additional cost.
Amazon largely relies on Delhivery for outsourced logistics. Amazon (similar to Flipkart) has so far
gone for predominantly insourced logistics solution. While the same was a rational decision a decade
ago when the choices for outsourcing logistics were limited, the same isn’t true today.
Flipkart has shared cost of logistics coming in way of growth. In a recent interview, Flipkart
management talked about how solving the cost of logistics was one of the biggest challenges for the
e-commerce segment. Flipkart does a large part of its logistics in-house. In spite of having the largest
scale in logistics (2X of Delhivery), Flipkart’s logistics arm has reported the largest aggregate losses
in the past five years across e-commerce logistics businesses.
Meesho: Reassessing logistics potentially on account of a few vendors not bringing down cost of
logistics
Succeeded in establishing self-logistics of scale. Meesho’s business depends meaningfully on its
ability to minimize the cost of logistics. The profit it makes on this business prominently features in
its bottom-line. Meesho otherwise operates a zero-commission model alongside advertising
revenues. In the recent past, Meesho has started increasing the share of volumes where it is
responsible for the related logistics. Such business has achieved reasonable scale (1 mn parcel per
day as per Meesho’s recent press release). The same suggests that Meesho has been able to set up
the related cost overheads and investments in technology for it to support the orchestration of
ecommerce logistics.
Focus appears to be on hedging against risk of select existing vendors faltering. Meesho has
recently started pushing more logistics volumes through its in-house arm in Valmo. In doing so, it is
taking responsibility of the following works—(1) trucking, (2) sorting, (3) managing returns, (4)
orchestrating logistics (tech, business development, training, management cost) and (5) lost
shipment/damage. We assess Meesho is potentially trying to protect its cost of logistics against
pressure from select peers of increasing their pricing (and Meesho’s costing). We note that select
ecommerce players have seen their losses increase faster that the growth in revenues in FY2023,
enhancing the case for such a demand for higher pricing.
Delhivery may be impacted less and its peers more. Meesho accounts for a minority share of
Delhivery’s revenues and a majority share of its peers’ revenues. For instance, Ecom Express has
mentioned in its recent filing that 73% of its external revenues come form top-three customers. Based
on assessment, both Flipkart and Amazon would account for a smaller share of top-three customers.
This implies that Meesho account for majority the 73% revenue share for Ecom Express. We also note
that Delhivery is better placed among its peers to further lower cost of logistics. This makes peers to
Delhivery a lot more prone to market share losses within Meesho’s logistics pie as it moves more
toward self-logistics model.

Ecom Express: Limited cash position makes business continuity dependent on uptick in funding from
promoters
Uptick in FY2023 losses have led to modest cash position. Ecom Express ended FY2023 with a cash
position of Rs3 bn and an FCF loss of Rs3.7 bn. The last publicly known round of funding happened
in October 2022 of Rs3 bn. The same puts the company in a weak position in terms of its cash
position.
Future dependent on ability to raise funding from existing and future investors. Partners group came
in 2020 with a large US$250 mn investment to get a 35% comparable to Warburg Pincus. Warburg
Pincus reduced its stake in such transaction from 75% earlier and has further reduced contribution in
incremental rounds of funding. The last publicly known round of funding of US$39 mn saw
participation of Partners group (US$29 mn), Warburg Pincus invested (~US$6 mn) and CDC Group put
in the remaining amount.
Xpressbees: Cash position healthy though dependence on variablized cost structure a constraint
Funding boost has more than mitigated issue of FY2023 losses. Xpressbees ended FY2023 with a
cash position of Rs11 bn and additional funding rounds of close to Rs6 bn on a YTD basis. The
resulting cash position of Rs17 bn is ~5.5X FCF losses of FY2023. The same gives visibility of more
than five years based on the ability of Xpressbees to bring down losses.
Variablized nature of cost structure may come in way of expanding scale. While cash isn’t the
problem for Xpressbees, we do note limited investments made in the business by the company over
the past few years. Xpressbees stands out with Rs8 of incremental revenue for every rupee of capex
over the past five years, a quantum of Rs2-3 for other peers in Ecom Express, Amazon Transportation,
Ekart and Delhivery. Our discussion with the industry suggests growth moderation for Xpressbees on
an FYTD basis on an organic basis after growing revenues 33% yoy in FY2023.
Adding adjacent businesses may create issues of integration. The company has recently acquired
Trackon to enter SME courier space. Trackon has largely been focused in the northern and western
parts of the country, serving around 5,000 PIN codes. Xpressbees is present in around 15,000 PIN
codes.

March 04, 2024
>250cc domestic industry to grow by high single-digit CAGR over the medium
term, but Royal Enfield to underperform the industry growth owing to elevated
competitive intensity. We believe growth in the >250cc motorcycle segment will
be significantly lower over the next 10 years as compared to FY2010-19 period
given (1) higher penetration levels in richer states, which will continue to
underperform and (2) affordability issues. We expect Royal Enfield to gain
market share in the export segment; however, growth prospects in the
addressable export motorcycle segment remain limited. We expect current
profitability to sustain over the near term driven by (1) benign commodity prices
and (2) increase in the export mix. However, we expect domestic volume growth
to remain subdued over FY2024-26E. SELL stays with a revised FV of Rs3,100
(from Rs3,000 earlier). Full sector coverage on KINSITE
RE volumes have remained flat in the domestic market over CY2018-23, driven by underperformance of

Export addressable market growth prospects in the premium motorcycle segment remain muted
We expect Royal Enfield’s addressable export motorcycle market volumes to grow by 3-4% CAGR over
CY2023-35E. We believe the growth prospects for the company in export premium motorcycle segment
are limited owing to (1) higher penetration of premium motorcycles in developed markets, (2) lesser
preferences for motorcycles, especially in South East Asian markets, and (3) higher competition from
the reputed and well entrenched players. We expect the growth in the global premium motorcycle
segment to remain muted as observed historically in the developed economies such as US and Europe.
In the 601+cc segment, volumes in the US declined by 1% CAGR over CY2012-22, whereas Europe
volumes witnessed a moderate growth of 3% CAGR over the same period. Volumes of the Harley
Davidson across the geographies, except South East Asia, declined by 3-4% CAGR over 2012-22.
Motorcycle volumes in Australia and Japan declined by 0-1% CAGR over CY2011-23, whereas in LATAM
market the motorcycle volumes grew by modest 4% CAGR over CY2012-22 primarily driven by robust
growth in the economy motorcycle segment. We believe the premium motorcycle segment growth in
LATAM region will remain muted owing to high ethanol blending requirement of the governments, which
will impact the performance of the motorcycle and warrant higher investments from the OEMs to design
the engines, making it an unattractive proposition. Although we anticipate a high single-digit increase in
2W volumes in South East Asian markets, the growth in the premium motorcycle segment is likely to be
subdued, primarily attributed to a stronger inclination toward scooters.

gradually from the current high single digit to 20% led by (1) newer product launches, (2) expanding
dealer network and (3) strengthening global assembly capacities to ensure faster market reach.
However, the company will see higher competitive intensity owing to commencement of exports of
Triumph motorcycles by Bajaj Auto, which are available at similar price points, which needs to be
monitored. Royal Enfield volumes in the exports market declined by 25% in FYTD24 partly on account of
inventory correction, which is significantly higher than 9% decline in volumes for Harley Davidson and in
contrast to the 3% growth in volumes for BMW Motorrad in CY2023. CY2023 was a challenging year for
exports; however we expect addressable market volume growth to remain muted over the medium term.
