: price: EPS: How does our one year outlook change? We maintain our negative stance on SKF India due to the absence of significant growth momentum drivers over the medium term. While railways could be a strong growth driver, material contribution to revenue is expected to be back-ended. Importantly, SKF India would earn only trading margin on the same as it would be mfg. by SKF Technologies. Within Autos, higher supplies to 4W (3rd gen bearings) would commence from 4QFY17, and is expected to scale up only gradually. We have a TP of Rs. 1,245 based on 20x FY18 EPS of Rs. 62 (at a discount to Timken India s multiple of 25x on the back of lower RoCEs and revenue growth expected to be driven significantly by trading ops) Industrials accounts for ~55% of revenue and while mgmt. indicated revival in certain pockets, demand from major end-markets (steel, mining, textiles, cement, machine tools), remained tepid. Within Industrial, aftermarket (~25% of revenue) remained staid as due to lower utilization levels Within Autos, SKF has higher exposure to 2W and electricals. Going forward, while replacement is expected to remain stable, growth in OEM segment depends on SKF s ability to diversify materially into CV/4W. Major improvement in sales to 4W is expected by 4QFY17, as supplies for 3 rd Gen Bearings to major OEMs begin SKF has significant market share in the passenger railways and has recently commenced supplies w.r.t. orders in the freight division (market size Rs.6bn). However, the impact of the same on accruals would be inhibited as it would be manufactured by SKF Tech. The same has been the case with the wind energy segment, which has seen strong growth. Expect Industrial /auto revenue CAGR of 13%/14% from FY16 - FY18 How does our 3 year Outlook change? Expect import substitution to be a key driver for the bearings industry. However, we believe SKF Technologies (fellow subsidiary) would play an important role in locally manufacturing industrial bearings which are currently imported by SKF India and hence the benefit of locally manufacturing might not entirely flow to SKF India Over a longer term, we expect SKF s product mix to shift away from 2W and electricals segment to 4W and CVs. While in the industrial segment it is expected to move to railways, both of which would increase exposure to Tapered Roller Bearings, where the company has ~25% market share Financial summary Year 1QFY17 Update Promoters 53.6 Institutions 32.5 Public 13.9 Key estimate revision Revenues (Rs. mn) 1m 3m 12m SKF 13% 8% -4% Sensex 3% 7% -2% BSE Auto 4% 10% 9% EBITDA (%) FY17E Adj.PAT (Rs. mn) Adj EPS (Rs.)
