4QFY212 Result Update Automobile Hero MotoCorp Performance Highlights Y/E March (` cr) 4QFY12 4QFY11 % chg (yoy) Angel est. % diff NEUTRAL CMP `2,245 Target Price - Investment Period - Net sales 6,35 5,391 11.9 6,34. Adj. EBITDA 72 653 1.3 763 (5.6) Adj. EBITDA margin (%) 11.9 12.1 (18)bp 12.6 (7)bp Adjusted PAT 64 52 2.3 658 (8.2) Hero MotoCorp (HMCL) reported weak 4QFY212 results as margin pressures on account of adverse forex movement resulted in lower-than-expected bottom line. We expect moderation in demand in the domestic two-wheeler industry and increased competitive intensity going ahead to pressurize volume growth. We believe the stock is fairly valued at current levels and maintain our Neutral rating on the stock. Lower-than-expected 4QFY212 performance: HMCL reported in-line net sales growth of 11.9% yoy (flat qoq) to `6,35cr, driven by volume growth of 8.1% yoy (down 1.1% qoq) and a 3.1% yoy (flat qoq) increase in average net realization. Volume growth during the quarter was driven by a 7.4% (down 2.1% qoq) and 17% yoy (11.6% qoq) increase in motorcycle and scooter sales, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted for royalty payments) came in slightly lower than expected at 11.9% (down 18bp yoy) due to adverse currency impact on indirect imports (lag of one quarter). However, royalty expenses declined by ~9% during the quarter on account of depreciation in Yen against INR. As a result, adjusted operating profit grew by 1.3% yoy (flat qoq) to `72cr. Net profit, however, registered strong growth of 2.3% yoy (down 1.5% qoq) to `64cr, aided by lower tax rate and higher other income. Outlook and valuation: We broadly maintain our volume estimates for HMCL and model in volume growth of 9.1%/1.6% in FY213E/14E. We believe the benefits of lower raw-material costs will be limited due to higher advertising and R&D expenses that HMCL intends to incur going ahead. Further, due to increased competitive activity in the industry, HMCL s market share will also remain under pressure. At `2,245, HMCL s stock is fairly valued at 15.2x FY214E earnings (historical multiple 15x). We maintain our Neutral rating on the stock.

However, royalty expenses declined by ~9% during the quarter on account of depreciation in Yen against INR. Royalty expense stood at ~`25cr in 4QFY212 (`22cr in 3QFY212) as against normalized levels of `177cr. Other expenses as a percentage of net sales, however, declined by 3bp qoq mainly due to lower rebranding expenses, thereby supporting margins to some extent. As a result, adjusted operating profit grew by 1.3% yoy (flat qoq) to `72cr. 3

Sharp increase in other income and lower tax rate supported the bottom line: During the quarter, the company s net profit registered strong growth of 2.3% yoy (down 1.5% qoq) to `64cr; however, it was lower than our expectations of `658cr due to weak performance at the operating level. Further, higher other income (up 41.2% yoy) and lower tax rate (19.2% in 4QFY212 vs. 23.9% in 4QFY211) supported the company s bottom-line growth to a large extent. Higher production from HMCL s tax exempt plant at Uttarakhand resulted in lower tax rate during the quarter. 4

Conference call Key highlights Management expects the domestic two-wheeler industry to register sluggish growth in FY213E; however, it expects the company to outperform the industry s growth. Current installed capacity is ~6.6mn and is expected to reach 7mn units by August 212. The scooters segment s capacity stands at ~5, units/month. Current inventory at the dealer s end remains at normal levels of two to three weeks. Management indicated that it would target African and Latin American markets initially to launch 1cc-125cc bikes. HMCL plans to increase exports to 1mn units by FY217. HMCL increased the prices of its motorcycles by `5-1,/vehicle, effective from. The company had taken a price hike in March as well to compensate for the increase in excise duty post Union Budget FY212-13. Haridwar plant accounted for ~35% of the company s total production in FY212 and this is likely to go up to 4% in FY213E. As a result, tax rate is expected to decline from 17% in FY212 to 16% in FY213E, as production from Haridwar plant is 1% exempt from tax until FY213E. From FY214E, the company will get only 3% tax benefit from the production done at Haridwar, hence tax rate will increase to 23-24% in FY214E. The company s imports form 15% of its net sales, of which direct imports (USD denominated) form 5.5%, while indirect imports (Yen denominated) form 9.5%. HMCL compensates its vendors with a lag of one quarter. HMCL declared a dividend of `45/share in FY212 and indicated that it would maintain a 4% dividend payout ratio in future. HMCL has been selling Hero-branded vehicles (currently Splendor) since last month and has received favorable response till now. The company also plans to begin sales of the rebranded Passion soon. The company expects to complete the rebranding exercise by the end of FY213. 5

Investment arguments Expect the demand scenario to moderate slightly: We believe demand momentum will slightly moderate going ahead after strong volume growth over the past three years, mainly due to macroeconomic concerns. We expect HMCL to slightly underperform the industry s growth during the period, owing to increasing competition in the industry. Capacity expansion to meet increasing demand: HMCL commenced expansion plans at its Haridwar plant in Uttarakhand, with the first plant commissioned in April 28, with an initial capacity of 5, units. The company has increased its total installed capacity to 6.15mn units in FY211 from 5.4mn units in FY21, with capacity of 2.25mn at Haridwar and 1.95mn each at Dharuhera and Gurgaon. HMCL plans to further expand its capacity to 7mn units by August 212 through de-bottlenecking at existing plants. As a result of capacity expansion, HMCL will be able to meet the increasing demand and, as such, is expected to post a volume CAGR of 1% over FY212-14E. The Haridwar plant also avails tax benefits, including a 1% excise exemption for 1 years and a 1% income tax exemption for the first five years and 3% for the next five years. Besides the Haridwar plant, two plants in Gurgaon also enjoy tax benefits. Outlook and valuation We broadly maintain our volume estimates for HMCL and model in volume growth of 9.1%/1.6% in FY213E/14E. We believe the benefits of lower raw-material costs will be limited due to higher advertising and R&D expenses that HMCL intends to incur going ahead. Further, due to increased competitive activity in the industry, HMCL s market share will also remain under pressure. We believe HMCL s current valuations factor in the healthy ~12% earnings CAGR that the company is likely to register over FY212-14E. At `2,245, HMCL is fairly valued at 15.2x FY214E earnings (historical multiple 15x). Thus, we maintain our Neutral rating on the stock. 6
