Research Analyst Nishit Zota nishit.zota@icicisecurities.com Vidrum Mehta vidrum.mehta@icicisecurities.com Cranking up with new products... August 14, 217 Bharat Forge (BHAFOR) 112 Bharat Forge (BFL) reported its Q1FY18 numbers, which were above our estimates on the topline & bottomline front but below estimates on the margin front. Revenues came in at 121 crore, up 32.8% YoY, 6.7% QoQ against our estimate of 181 crore. Domestic revenues came in at 56.2 crore (up 5% YoY, flat QoQ), against our estimate of 53 crore. Export revenues increased 64.6% YoY, 12.4% QoQ to 671 crore against our estimate of 567 crore Revenue growth was driven by industrial business (domestic + global), which grew 8% YoY. The company s M&HCV revenue was down 7% YoY (vs. ~45% decline in M&HCV production) but BFL clocked highest quarterly domestic industrial revenues of 25 crore. In export market, truck revenues were up 19% YoY while industrial revenues more than doubled to 336.2 crore Reported EBITDA margins came in at 27.8%, up 73 bps YoY, down 67 bps QoQ, vs. our estimated 28.4%. Margins were below estimates due to higher than estimated other expense to sales & lower than estimated export share (higher margin business) in total revenues Consequently, reported PAT came in at 175.1 crore (up 43.4% YoY, down 15.6% QoQ) vs. our expectation of 161.8 crore. PAT was higher than estimates on account of higher than estimated revenues and lower than estimated depreciation The company has secured a maiden order from Ministry of Defence worth 21.6 crore, which will be executed over the next two years The Board has approved issue of bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 Growth momentum in export revenues to continue BFL had witnessed a sharp decline in America s revenues in the last two years, declining from 1741 crore in FY15 to 19 crore in FY17E with its share in total standalone revenues reducing from ~39% to 29% (steep decline in revenues from North America class & oil & gas business). However, in the past few months, there has been a significant improvement in Class 8 net order data, which will get reflected in BFL s numbers in upcoming quarters. The North America oil & gas industry has shown a revival with oil & gas revenues at ~ 16 crore in Q1FY18 vs. ~ 15 crore in Q3FY17 vs. ~ 85 crore in Q3FY17 & ~ 65 crore in H1FY17. Given that BFL expects its market share in oil & gas industry to increase with high technology products, management expects a quarterly run-rate of ~ 15 crore in FY18E, implying significant growth. We expect standalone revenue growth at ~19% CAGR to 5475 crore in FY18E. Diversification to aid growth Increasing focus on new verticals like railways, aerospace, defence, mining & renewables is already getting reflected in quarterly numbers. The total industrial business grew 8% YoY in Q1FY18. The management expects the quarterly railway revenue to increase to ~ 25-3 crore (FY17-55-6 crore). The company expects the domestic industrial revenues to grow at ~15-18% in FY18E and expects revenues from each of these verticals to touch $1 million (mn) by 22. Strong earning growth demands premium valuations We remain upbeat on the long term growth potential of the company, which remains the largest forgings company in the world, with strong engineering capabilities. Thus, we value BFL on an SOTP basis with standalone business at 28x FY19E EPS of 45.3 and other subsidiaries at 15/share to arrive at a target price of 135. We ascribe a BUY recommendation to the stock. ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research

Key conference call takeaways America s revenues (34% of standalone revenues) doubled to 431.8 crore mainly on account of growth across segments like aerospace, rail, passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle & oil & gas. Of the total, oil & gas revenue was at ~ 16 crore & US CV revenues was at ~ 15 crore. The company will maintain the oil & gas revenue quarterly run rate of ~ 15 crore In the oil & gas business, the company has a significant presence in shale fracking (its product is consumable and has a shelf life). The company is developing new products in this segment. The management believes that until oil prices are trading under $7-75, shale is the only segment that will fill the demand-supply gap The company secured order from Ministry of Defence to supply to 15 Dual Detection Equipment. The order worth 21.6 crore will be concluded in two years. Revenue from this order will accrue to Bharat Forge but other orders in future will go to its JV Kalyani Strategic System The capex guidance for the fiscal is 3-35 crore The tax rate came higher in Q1FY18 on account of a reduction in investment allowance & allowance reduced in on R&D from 2% to 15% The growth from America s CV business was 18-19% YoY. The growth guidance for Class 8 industry in CY17E is 1-12% Domestic industrial revenue was at 25 crore. The management expects ~15-18% growth in this segment The machining mix for the quarter was at ~47-49% The company is developing CV driveline products. The management believes that the opportunity in this segment is bigger than engine forged/machined products. The company has achieved long term net debt free position, before the scheduled period ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 3
Company Analysis Performance in sweet spot as export growth revives Bharat Forge is one of the few listed Tier-1.5 manufacturers in India focusing on supplying high-end engineered forgings products. The company has a geographic presence across India & Europe with total tonnage capacity of ~58, MT. In terms of business segments, CV segment remains a major revenue driver at ~5% while other segments are PV, oil & gas, power, railways, etc. In terms of non-auto share, share of the business has risen to ~45% much ahead of the targeted ~4%. We expect standalone revenues to grow at ~22.2% CAGR in FY17-19E and reach ~ 577 crore in FY19E. On a consolidated basis, revenues are expected to grow in the same period at ~2.4% CAGR to 9271 crore. Going ahead, we expect standalone PAT to grow at ~24.4% CAGR in FY17-19E to 156 crore. Consolidated PAT is also expected to rise at ~26.1% CAGR in FY17-19E to 119 crore.

Return ratio profile to rise as margins/profitability improves The forgings business can be a capital intensive one if the growth strategy is not managed in a specific manner. Achieving higher machining mix quickly would always require much higher capex compared to a refurbished pure forgings machine. A prudent strategy of managing capital allocation and working capital has led BFL to maintain and improve its return ratios. Going ahead, we believe the performance will improve from current levels and expect standalone RoE, RoCE to trend upwards and reach 21.2, 26.9%, respectively, in FY19E.

Outlook and valuation We remain positive on the long-term business franchise of BFL, which remains the largest forgings company in the world, with engineering capabilities as strong as the best in the world. The increased focus on the non-automotive segment since FY1 has led to significant benefits in both revenue quality as well as margins. The increasing contribution of the same has helped de-risk the business from the vagaries of being just CV dependant. We remain upbeat on the long term growth potential of the company. Thus, we value BFL on an SOTP basis with standalone business at 28x FY19E EPS of 45.3 and other subsidiaries at 78/share to arrive at a target price of 135. We have a BUY rating on the stock.
