1 WEEKENDER REPORT Macro / political commentary SINCE 1989 With over a 100 crore Aadhaar enrolments completed & empowered by a new law, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is looking to scale up operations & prepare for its next phase, one involving constant updates of data & ramping up capacity to eventually validate up to 50 crore transactions daily, according to UIDAI chief executive A.B. Pandey. UIDAI has issued more than 1.03 billion Aadhaar cards, covering more than 85% of India s population. It is now the mainstay of the government s direct benefit transfer programme after the enactment of the The Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial & Other Subsidies, Benefits & Services) Act, All state benefits will now be directly transferred to intended beneficiaries bank accounts linked to the 12- digit biometric identity number provided by UIDAI, a step that is aimed at plugging leaks. Constant updates on biometrics, photographs, demography will happen every year. New enrolments will be made every year as children get enrolled. UIDAI anticipates that the larger move towards a cashless economy will increase the need for Aadhaar-based authentications wherein UIDAI will help the government & financial institutions identify a beneficiary using biometrics like fingerprint & iris recognition. Authentication will become a major job. Every day lakh people are biometrically authenticated through Aadhaar & we have the capacity to scale it up to 10 crore authentications. But then tomorrow if we require 50 crore authentications, then we should be able to achieve it. This will become our major activity as payment banks come in. Then there will be ticket reservations, attendance, & Bharat Bill Payment System that will be dependent on this. It will become a very critical infrastructure, Pandey said. As of now, this entire authentication process is fully funded by the government. We have decided no institution will be charged anything for a service till December Pandey said, pointing out that imposing fee on individuals will be equivalent to denying people the right to have Aadhaar. The deep sea transhipment port proposed to be developed at Colachel in Tamil Nadu will entail a cost of Rs.27,570 crore, Parliament was informed. The aim is to develop a deep sea transhipment port at Colachel (Enayam), very close to the great east-west shipping route, minister of state for shipping P. Radhakrishnan said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha. As per the techno-economic feasibility report, the estimated project cost is Rs.27,570 crore. The port is proposed to be developed through investment by government & public-private partnership (PPP) mode. The development of the major port will start in 2017 & go on till 2030, the minister said. In a separate query, Radhakrishnan said Sagarmala is a long-term programme, which was approved by the cabinet. The programme involves drawing up a national perspective plan for port modernization & development, port connectivity enhancement, port-led industrial development & coastal community development, he added. To exploit the potential of India s 7,500-km-long coastline & 14,500 km of potentially navigable waterways, the Sagarmala programme aims to promote port-led development. Sagarmala will entail an estimated infrastructure investment of more than Rs.2 trillion. As part of the national perspective plan, a total 173 projects have been initially identified across the programme objectives, which will result in significant investment in the maritime infrastructure, create employment, reduce logistics costs & boost merchandise exports over the next decade. A projection has been made that identified industrial cluster projects once implemented will enable creation of approximately one crore jobs, including 40 lakh direct & 60 lakh indirect jobs in the next 10 years, Radhakrishnan said.

5 Weekender Stock Idea Wabco India Ltd. (Rating: Buy; Price: Rs.6,345; Target: Rs.7,500; Upside: 18%) Shareholding Stock performance Key data Category Stake Perf. 1M 6M 1Y Particulars FY15 FY16 FY17e FY18e Promoter 75.0% Company 10.5% 12.5% 17.2% P/E (x) Institutions 10.6% Sensex 4.9% 12.8% 1.8% EPS growth 3% 70% 41% 27% Non-institutions 14.5% Auto 8.3% 24.5% 13.2% ROE 14% 19% 22% 22% Govt. 0.0% Dividend yield 0.1% 0.1% 0.2% 0.2% Background Wabco India Ltd. (mkt. cap Rs.12,059 crs) is a subsidiary of Wabco Vehicle Control Systems, based in Brussels, Belgium. It designs, manufactures and markets conventional and advanced braking products and related systems. Investment Argument Parent and business presence in India Globally Wabco group is a leading supplier of safety and control systems for commercial vehicles. For over 140 years, it has pioneered breakthrough electronic, mechanical & mechatronic technologies for braking, stability, & transmission automation systems supplied to the world s leading commercial truck, trailer, & bus manufacturers. It has a monopoly for products like electronic air suspension (ECAS), electronic braking system (EBS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Lift axle control valve. Wabco India has 5 manufacturing facilities, a software design centre and a test track in India. The major customers are OEMs for trucks, buses and trailers. Besides, Wabco also caters to aftermarket customers through its wide distribution network. Business environment India s GDP has hit decade low during FY13 & FY14, before gaining strength in FY15 & FY16. A major drag has been the tepid growth of industrial sector. Industrial slowdown resulted into weak demand and investment in the economy Chart 1: GDP growth along with higher borrowing costs badly 7.6 impacted the demand for commercial (% YoY) vehicles. Besides trucking industry is faced several problems of its own like surplus 5.6 fleet capacity, rising diesel prices due to de-regulation, increase in driver salaries and toll charges, etc. Many of these cost rises are not a pass-through for truck operators thus putting pressure on their viability. All these factors combined together don t augur well for the CV demand. CV sales in FY14 witnessed a drop of 22%, before getting back into positive growth trajectory in FY15 & FY16. FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 Page 5 / 9

This upgrade is mainly led by pickup in exports, easing of current account deficit, clearance of stalled projects, and lowering of inflation. Simultaneously, the Indian rupee has also been stable for some time now. These factors would lead to rise in industrial output. Also a lot of reform effort has been made towards clearance and re-allocation of coal block and lifting of mining ban. If GST gets passed and implemented, it would eventually lead to seamless movement of traffic through the country, meaning better utilization of trucks. This means demand for transport and freight should inch up, which will absorb the over capacity of the trucking industry and further create demand for new trucks. New mandatory safety requirements for heavy vehicles a key business driver The transport ministry is making installation of ABS (anti lock braking system) compulsory for all new heavy vehicles; buses with seating capacity of 9 passengers and above and trucks with capacity of 12 tonnes and above. The enforcement for this requirement is from 1 April 2016 onwards. Wabco has a monopoly for this product in India. With CV cycle picking up, this would be a big trigger for top line going forward. Robust financials Wabco is a debt free company. All business funding is carried out through internal accruals. Business is a positive free cash generator and consequently the cash balance has been rising. Working capital cycle has ranged between 2-3 months. Here the inventory days are almost equal to the payable days. In short the company enjoys good credit period from its suppliers to the extent that till the finished goods are produced and sold, it is not required to pay its suppliers. The receivables collection days are around 2 3 months and this number has stayed well under control despite tight credit situation in the time of slowdown. EBITDA margin is healthy at mid-teens and with more and more technologically intensive products become mandatory and Wabco having monopoly in those products, we believe the margins should improve from here on.

EBITDA margin improved sharply from 16% for full year FY16 to 19.4% for 1QFY17 on the back of strong cost controls. This led to a strong growth in EBITDA at 49% YoY and earnings growth of 55% YoY. View & valuation: Lot of factors are in favour of Wabco, like having patented technology, support from parent for newer technologies, mandatory norms intensifying, debt free balance sheet, improving margin, manageable working capital cycle etc. All this should translate to improving return ratios. At current price of Rs.6,345 we recommend buying Wabco India Ltd. with a target price of Rs.7,500 implying an upside of 18% from the current price. Page 7 / 9
