June 2, 215 Bharat Forge (BHAFOR) 1214 Bharat Forge (BFL) reported revenues of 1224 crore (up ~31% YoY), almost in line with estimates of 1234 crore. The revenue growth was driven by ~ 16% growth in domestic revenues & ~ 45% growth in export revenues. EBITDA margins at 29.4% in Q4FY15 (our estimate 29.7%) saw an improvement of 464 bps compared to Q4FY14. However, on a QoQ basis the margins declined by 85 bps mainly due to dip in share of non auto business Subsequently, PAT came at 23 crore against our estimates of 218 crore. Well poised to capitalise on the recovery in CV cycle BFL is a leading global Tier-1.5 automotive forgings supplier, boasting top-5 global OEMs as customers. CV business is ~55-6% of the consolidated business & remains a key driver for overall growth. BFL saw strong growth in the US marker as class-8 truck demand has improved over last year, driven by pre-buying before emission norm changes. BFL expects the truck segment in the US market to remain strong till FY17. Stabilisation of the EU region would also aid growth in FY16E, FY17E. On the domestic side, BFL is a clean play on the recovery of domestic CV cycle recovery, as it commands > 6% market share in M&HCV components. BFL expects the domestic TIV to exhibit double digit growth in FY16. Thus, BFL remains a strong play for economic recovery. Focus on new business verticals via Make in India to drive growth In the recent past, the PV space focus has increased and could be an important growth driver as in terms of opportunity globally it could be 3-4x of traditional CV business. Its partnerships with global players (Alstom, Areva, Elbit Systems David Brown) bear testimony to its globally cost competitive engineering /manufacturing capabilities. The Alstom JV has begun operations & with a strong order book, the company expects to generate revenues of ~ 4 crore in the next 3-4 years. BFL is focusing on the defence opportunity (~ 4, crore FY13 imports) where it is looking at using its engineering capabilities to develop indigenous products (e.g. 155 mm artillery gun). BFL is also focussing on the aerospace industry, which is expected to ramp up in the next 2-3 years & become a $ 1 mn business. Mild capital intensity, higher utilisations to aid margins & revenues In the last couple of years BFL had remained extremely tight on capital expenditure and working capital leading to a decline in D/E to.7x (1.5x FY1). The company looks set to increase capacity and utilisation (currently, utilization for non-auto is at ~85%, while forging capacity utilization is at 74%) in the coming years as the management targets ~ 7, crore standalone revenue by FY18E. These factors, we believe, will keep both margins as well as revenue growths above industry trend. Scarcity premium of Tier- 1.5 supplier commands premium valuation! We believe BFL s business franchise is unique and provides investors a great opportunity to own one of the few India listed Global/Local Tier- 1.5 ancillary supplier. We believe on the financials front, strong EBITDA margins (~3% FY17E) performance will be coupled with strong RoCEs (~3% in FY17E). We, thus, value BFL on an SOTP basis with standalone business at 25x FY7E EPS of 48.8 and other subsidiaries at 56/share to arrive at a target price of 1277. We ascribe HOLD rating to the stock.

Key conference call takeaways BFL has planned a capex of 1 crore over the next 3 years with a focus on machining & PV forging. For the European subsidiaries, the capex plan is restricted only to maintenance capex. The management is confident of achieving more orders from defence, energy, mining & railways under the Make in India theme. The current utilization levels for different segments are: Forging- 74%, Non-auto-85% & Machining-45% The increase in consolidated debt is attributable to Alstom JV & project debt for European operation. The JV is expected to generate revenues to the tune of ~ 4 crore in the next 3-4 years The management has guided for a muted Q1FY16 as compared to Q4FY15 primarily due to decline in the oil & gas business. The financial performance for the subsidiaries was flattish, with revenues of ~ 58 crore (flat QoQ) & EBITDA of 35.1 crore (up 2% QoQ). ICICI Securities Ltd Retail Equity Research Page 3
Company Analysis Performance in sweet spot as exports, domestic to improve Bharat Forge is one of the few listed Tier-1.5 manufacturers in India that focuses on supplying high-end engineered forgings products. It has a geographic presence across India and Europe with total tonnage capacity of ~58, MT. In terms of business segments, the CV segment remains a major revenue driver at ~6% while the other segments are PV, oil & gas, power, railways etc. In terms of non-auto share, the share of the business has risen to ~47% much ahead of targeted ~4%. We expect standalone revenues to grow at ~2% CAGR in FY15-17E and reach ~ 652 crore in FY17E while on a consolidated basis this is expected to grow in the same period at ~18% CAGR to 1,592 crore. Profitability has also been consistently improving on the back of a better product mix via non-auto share and increasing exports. Standalone PAT margins have risen to ~16% in FY15E. Going ahead, we expect an improvement from current levels, with standalone PAT growing at ~26% CAGR in FY15-17E and reaching ~ 1137 crore in FY17E. Consolidated PAT is also expected to rise at ~25% CAGR in FY15-17E to 1,24 crore.

The content enrichment as well business mix change accounting to exports has led to sharp EBIDTA margins increase reflective in ASP jump from ~ 167,/MT in FY12 to ~ 28,/ MT in FY15E. Going ahead, as demand increases, and utilisation levels improve BFL would witness positive operating leverage benefits even as the domestic CV business grows faster. Going ahead, we build in standalone EBITDA margins of 3%, 31% in FY16E, FY17E respectively, on the back of better utilisation levels. At the consolidated level, we expect EBITDA margins to rise to ~2%, ~21% levels in FY16E, FY17E, respectively.

Achieving higher machining mix in quick time would always require much higher capex than vis-à-vis a refurbished pure forgings machine. Prudent strategy of managing capital allocation and working capital has led to BFL maintaining and improving its return ratios. Going ahead, we believe the performance will improve from current levels and expect RoE, RoCE to trend upwards and reach 24.4%, 29.7%, respectively, in FY17E.

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 non-automotive segment since FY1 has led to strong benefits on both revenues quality as well as margins. The increasing contribution of the same has helped in de-risking the business from the vagaries of being just CV dependant. We believe BFL s business franchise is unique and provides investors a great opportunity to own one of the few India listed Global/Local Tier- 1.5 ancillary supplier. We believe, on the financials front, strong EBITDA margins (~3% in FY17E) performance will be coupled with strong RoCEs (~3% in FY17E). We, thus, value BFL on SOTP basis with standalone business at 25x FY7E EPS of 48.8 and other subsidiaries at 56/share to arrive at a target price of 1277. We ascribe HOLD rating on the stock.
