1 7th issue Outlook April 2013 October 2013 Automotive industry Growing forward About this survey Ernst & Young s is a regular survey of senior executives from large companies around the world, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). Our panel is comprised of select Ernst & Young clients and contacts and regular EIU contributors. trends and practices in the way companies manage their capital agenda. Panel of almost 1,600 executives surveyed in February and March 2013, including 147 automotive executives Companies from 50 countries 794 CEO, CFO and other C-level respondents 912 companies would qualify for the Fortune 500 based on revenues Based around four dimensions, it helps companies consider their issues and challenges and understand their options to make more informed capital decisions. 1. Preserving capital: reshaping the operational and capital base 2. Optimizing capital: driving cash and working capital and managing the portfolio of assets 3. Raising capital: assessing future capital requirements and assessing funding sources 4. Investing capital: strengthening investment appraisal and transaction execution Our seventh in the automotive After years of conservative decision-making, executives companies that are looking to create differential value will be those that take action in a market gaining momentum Expectations for global economic growth, corporate earnings and credit availability are at some of their highest levels in two years. Unlike our global survey covering all industries, our automotive respondents willingness to take action. Although macroeconomic risks still exist, such as the Eurozone crisis, US sequestration and slowing emerging markets growth, automotive respondents have a clear interest in capturing growth, which is the focus of 55% of respondents versus only 4 six months ago. This focus on growth is expected to drive M&A activity in the sector, with 3 of respondents expecting to pursue an acquisition in the next 12 months, the highest level in over a year and up from 19% six months ago. Automotive respondents also have their sights set on larger, more transformative deals; 77% of those that plan to do a deal expect the value to be in excess of $50 million versus only 48% six months ago. With the majority of companies in the sector focused on growth, there seems to be an imbalance between the number of buyers and the number of sellers in the market. While 3 of respondents are seeking acquisitions, only of respondents expect to pursue divestments in the next 12 months versus 25% a year ago. History suggests that this disparity will be short-lived as greater demand will drive higher valuations and lead to an equilibrium of buyers and sellers. advantage. With M&A valuations trending up, only of respondents expect to see a decrease in valuations in the next 12 months, and greatly increased expectations to pursue acquisitions in the next 12 months, now may be the time to invest and grow. Pip McCrostie Global Vice Chair, Jim Carter, Automotive survey highlights: 52% think the global economy is improving, up from 22% six months ago. 55% of companies are focused on growth, the highest level in two years. 5 view credit availability as improving compared with six months ago. Appetite for M&A increased to 3 from 19% in October % expect M&A volumes to improve in the next 12 months. Only of respondents expect M&A valuations to decrease in the next 12 months compared to six months ago. Intention to divest is down to from 25% a year ago.
2 Economic outlook automotive respondents view the global economy as either stable or improving up from both October 2012 (80%) and April 2012 (87%). 58% 22% 58% 52% the global level: Economic growth Credit availability Employment growth 26% % 41% % 1 20% 40% 8% Corporate earnings 3 40% 5 Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr 13 Declining Stable Improving 52% Short-term market stability 21% economic indicator included in the survey. At 6, positive sentiment for global economic growth is at its highest level in two years and nearly triple that of six months ago. More than half of respondents are positive on credit availability, employment growth Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 6 respondents local economies is also improving. Fifty-two percent of automotive executives cited an improving economic environment at the local level in April 2013, the highest level in more than a year. Apr 13 52% 3 15% Oct 12 31% 5 15% Apr 12 47% 4 9% Improving Stable Declining 52% 2 Growing forward
3 In total, 8 of automotive respondents expect to see some growth in the global economy, but most recognize it is unlikely to reach peaks last seen in The economic uncertainty that followed that period has been so long and pervasive that typical cyclical behaviors have changed. 45% 22% 45% Create jobs/hire talent More than 5% 5% 2% 68% 47% 46% 8% 10% 9% Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr 13 Keep current workforce size Reduce workforce numbers 1% 2.9% 69% Zero growth Negative growth 45% Global market risks are well known by corporate boards. Eurozone issues and slowing growth in emerging markets pose material challenges to their businesses. In response, many companies have adjusted their strategies to compensate for these risks, while others view them as a source of opportunity. Stagnation in the Eurozone Slowing growth in emerging markets US debt ceiling challenges 18% 40% 42% or create jobs a strong improvement from 22% in October Plans for workforce reduction remain at all-time lows, further signaling expected growth. Viewpoint Over several Barometers, we have observed a disconnect between macroeconomic conditions and corporate action; led to a rebound in M&A. crisis has been drawn out, with moments that suggested turnaround that never materialized. Amid this persistent crisis environment, the current generation of corporate leaders has largely pursued growth through organic measures or optimization efforts. They have largely been rewarded by boards for these conservative instincts. However, we may be nearing the point where this sustained caution itself becomes risky. Organizations in search of growth may need to take an informed risk to achieve their strategic objectives and to outpace competitors. First-mover advantage is a constant, even in today s markets. Leading companies are laying the groundwork for taking action when the time is right. That means honing their capital agenda: executing divestments when necessary and putting in place proper risk management and governance. Most important, it means answering the questions, Where do you want to grow? and What will it take? Growing forward 3
4 Access to capital In addition to having an improved outlook on the global economy, credit markets. When asked about credit availability, more than half (5) of our automotive respondents see improvement, the highest level in two years. Only report a decline. Apr % Less than 25% 5 59% 3 25% 49.9% 2 18% 50% 74.9% 11% 7% 75% 100% 5% 6% Oct 12 45% 2 Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 Apr % 15% Improving Stable Declining 41% 5 22% 16% 25% Since the downturn, automotive respondents have been cautiously increasing leverage. This trend is expected to continue as 25% of respondents plan to increase their debt-to-capital ratio over the next 12 months compared to only 16% six months ago. With greater access to capital and continued low interest rates, respondents should be able to opportunistically fund acquisitions as well as organic growth. 35% 51% 47% % Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr 13 Decrease Remain constant Increase 25% 4 Growing forward
5 extending maturities, reducing interest and removing covenants. 59% 37% 51% Extend maturity (short-term debt extension) Reduce interest cost Retire maturing debt Optimizing the capital structure (non-stressed situation) Remove restrictive covenants 5% 16% 10% 26% 19% 25% 2 19% Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 29% of an ongoing cautionary mindset. 29% 4 19% 22% Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr 13 Equity Debt Cash Viewpoint Our survey shows a higher number of automotive companies expecting an increase in their debt-to-capital ratio, from 16% in October 2012 to 25% in this Barometer. Coupled with a large increase in those citing greater overall availability of credit (from to 5), this signals that respondents appetite for leverage will continue to rise. Throughout the economic crisis, companies in preservation mode came to view the use of credit as a sign of weakness. However, the reputation of credit, like the economy at large, is slowly being rehabilitated. After several Barometers where more than half of respondents reported low debt-to-capital ratios, this Barometer reports that metric falling to 41%. At a time of ample credit availability and historically low pricing, leading companies are coming to view credit as a tool to fuel their growth agenda. More than half of respondents point to cash as their primary percent say they plan to use debt as their primary source, despite reporting abundant credit availability. Growing forward 5
6 Growth availability improves, companies are reporting an increased appetite for growth and a steady move toward investment. When asked about their focus over the next 12 months, more than half of automotive respondents (55%) cited growth a major rebound from the decline experienced over the last two years. Even amid this growing optimism, however, nearly one-third of companies () remain focused on cost reduction and ago (25%). strategies Companies with excess cash are deploying it toward growth and away from returning it to stakeholders. In total, 57% of automotive respondents are pursuing either organic or inorganic growth with their excess cash; organic growth continues to be the major preference (42%). Only 4 in total say they are focused on returning cash through paying down debt, paying dividends or buying back stock a drop of nine percentage points since October % focused on growth 89% Organic growth (e.g., investing in products, capex, talent retention, R&D) 39% 42% 5 55% 55% 50% 4 Inorganic growth (e.g., acquisitions, alliances and JVs) 15% 10% 1 Apr 11 Oct 11 Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr % 2 2% 10% Oct 12 Apr 13 Growth Cost reduction and operational efficiency Maintain stability Survival Pay down debt Paying dividends Buy back stock 5% 9% 8% 19% % Apr-13 Oct-12 Apr-12 6 Growing forward
7 Companies are largely focused on lower-risk growth strategies much more cautious approaches than one would expect given perceived as higher-risk are more cautiously pursued. Companies will want more and longer-lasting evidence of an upturn before making major investments. More rigorous focus on core products/ existing markets 29% Viewpoint Boardrooms are currently focused on the fundamentals: risk capital allocation, people, corporate governance and investor relations. All of these agenda items, which were cited by half or more of our respondents, point toward companies building greater stakeholder accountability. Riskier growth measures, including research and development, Barometer point to a window of opportunity for accelerated along with a recent rise in shareholder activism, all signal an imperative to act. Prudent discipline and governance are necessities. But now may be the time for boards to achieve New sales channels Higher risk 2 Increasing R&D/product introductions 17% Risk management Efficiency and cost control % 10% Changing mix of existing products and services 15% Regulatory issues 59% 35% 6% Exploiting technology to develop new markets/products Investing in new geographies/markets 6% 9% Capital allocation People (attracting/ retaining talent) Corporate governance 56% 52% 51% 3 36% 37% 11% Investor relations 50% 40% 10% Growth new geographic markets 49% 38% 1 Growth innovation R&D 47% 41% Greater focus today Stayed the same Less focus today Growing forward 7
8 Mergers and acquisitions outlook improve There is a strong consensus global M&A volumes will increase automotive companies expect global deal volumes to improve over the next 12 months. Return to historic highs Improve 2% 68% The improvement in acquisition plans (3), which places automotive as the second highest sector within our survey for expected acquisition activity, is largely driven by an increasing number, and a higher quality, of acquisition opportunities along with respondents appetite for growth amidst stabilizing production volumes. Thirty percent of companies say there are quality acquisition opportunities available, compared with six opportunities available, versus only 35% six months ago. Likelihood of closing acquisitions Remain the same Decline 26% Quality of acquisition opportunities The expectations of our automotive respondents to pursue the past year. Thirty-three percent expect their company will pursue one or more acquisitions in the next 12 months, compared with 19% in October 2012 and 22% in April % 3 Number of acquisition opportunities Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 35% 37% 46% The focus on growth combined with increased credit availability has resulted in a shift from pursuing lower middle-market transactions six months ago to the current expectation to pursue larger transactions. Those expecting to pursue deals over $50 million have increased to 77% from 48% in October Within this, expect to pursue acquisitions greater than $500 million compared to only 6% in October % 22% 19% 8% Over US$1bn Apr 11 Oct 11 Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr % 65% 52% 2 Oct 12 Apr 13 US$501m US$1bn US$51m US$500m US$50m or less 77% 8 Growing forward
9 Expectations for increased valuations improved from October 2012; 39% of automotive companies expect prices/valuations to rise in the next year, up from 31% six months ago. Just of companies expect valuations to decline, compared with in October, suggesting the market has stabilized. 42% 3 31% 39% 25% 39% 57% Apr 12 Oct 12 Apr 13 Most respondents (8) say the valuation gap is 20% or less, compared with 76% in October 2012 and only 6 in April This trend is expected to continue, as 22% of respondents anticipate that the valuation gap will contract over the next 12 months compared to only anticipating the gap will widen. sellers is Increase Remain at current levels Decrease Contract Stay the same Widen 22% Viewpoint 39% 47% Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 56% 66% A contributing cause to the ongoing slowdown in deal-making is a perceived gap in asset valuations between buyers and sellers. Companies pursuing divestments are seeking high valuations for their assets, while potential buyers are primed for discounts and reluctant to pay a premium. However, we may now be nearing equilibrium between what buyers will pay and what sellers will accept. This equilibrium point and ready to rebound. The pendulum is primed to swing the other way toward growing prices by buyers and more market fundamentals, corporate health and a stable foundation for deal-making. With 39% of automotive respondents expecting M&A assets to increase in value over the next 12 months (and only anticipating a decrease), companies should consider taking Less than 20% % 21% Over 19% 5% Apr 13 Oct 12 Apr 12 Growing forward 9
10 Investment destinations continue to evolve as companies challenge their growth strategies and underlying risk tolerance. Whereas six months ago respondents were cautiously managing risk and looked to Germany and the United States as their top investment destinations, a shift has occurred back to the emerging markets of China, India and Brazil. Although increased growth prospects over mature markets. Oct Germany 2. US 3. China 4. India 5. Mexico Apr China 2. India 3. Brazil 4. US 5. Mexico The number of automotive companies planning to make divestments continues to decline from its peak 12 months ago. For the past several years, automotive companies have optimized strategic objectives. Companies are now focused on the core both performance optimization and growth. Companies are being more strategic when considering divestments than they have in the past. Favorable market conditions have led companies to take an opportunistic approach to divesting non-core assets and only transacting when valuations are in line with their expectations. In the meantime, companies are accessing debt and using cash balances to pursue growth as opposed to raising capital through the sale of assets.
