DBFS EQUITIES RESEARCH INDIA / AUTOS Maruti Suzuki India CMP: Rs 1240.75 Target Price: Rs 1409 On track to witness better times Maruti Suzuki had a tough time in 2011-12. A slowdown in the auto industry, production losses from repeated strikes in its plants, increased competition in the compact car segment and foreign exchange losses from a depreciating rupee against the yen have all impacted the company s earnings during the period. With the production losses behind it and demand for passenger cars showing signs of revival, also considering the loosening of interest rate cycle by RBI, we think Maruti is well positioned and is on track to witness better times. New launches and higher diesel engine availability to drive volumes Italian carmaker Fiat and Japan s Suzuki Motor Corporation have inked an agreement to supply 1 lakh diesel engines to Maruti Suzuki India, which will help the country s largest carmaker to manufacture more engines. This development will bring a relief to Maruti Suzuki India, which has over 1,10,000 customers waiting in the queue to take delivery of its largest selling car, Swift. The company is gearing up to increase production at the Manesar plant to deliver more diesel cars.

Also, it is likely to commercially launch its new 7-seater MPV, Ertiga in 2-3 months. This, coupled with additional diesel engine availability (for next 3 years), would drive volumes and market share gains. Valuations and View Maruti Suzuki is trading at 11.03 times our FY13E EPS of Rs 112.42 at Rs 1240.75 and since the labour issues cleared, higher diesel engine availability to ramp up production, launch of new products and interest rates declining going forward,we expect in the long run Maruti Suzuki will improve in its margins and market share and will be a good bet on declines and we therefore initiate a BUY rating on the scrip with a target of Rs 1409.

C. Bhargava said in a press release on January 23 rd 2012, that the company s first own diesel engine plant is expected to be ready by the second half of next fiscal with an initial annual capacity of 1.5 lakh engines. This will help it meet the sudden increased demand for diesel cars which has arisen because of the cheaper price of diesel versus petrol. Q3 FY12 perfomance summary Mauti Suzuki came out with its Q3 FY12 results on January 23rd 2012.Most of the analyst community were expecting the company to report a dismal performance, but company came out with a result that was encouraging, showing signs of recovery.

Net Profit during the quarter stood at Rs 2,056 Million,a fall of 63.6 percent.

Company Description Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL, formerly Maruti Udyog Limited), a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan, is India s largest passenger car company, accounting for majority of the domestic car market.

Our range of cars include people movers - Omni and Eeco, international brands - Alto, Alto-K10, A-star, WagonR, Swift and Estilo, off-roader - Gypsy, SUV - Grand Vitara, sedans - SX4 and Swift DZire. Key points that made us to put a BUY Despite company s dismal performance in 2011-12 due to employee problems at its production facility in manesar, we are quite positive on this company in the long run. Volume momentum to remain intact in the long run, with the additional supply agreement reached between Fiat to supply more diesel engines to Maruti Suzuki, the company can actually increase production at its plants thereby bringing relief to the long list of customers in the waiting list. With the commissioning of its own diesel engine plant at Gurgaon by 2nd Half of FY13,the company will be able to ramp up its production and thereby increase its market share. Volume growth in the domestic market driven by focus on tier-ii cities and rural market. Improving product mix with increasing share of A2 & A3 segment, driven by newer products. Investment Risks Company is expected to face huge competition in the domestic market mainly in the A2 segment. Margins will be negatively impacted due to Adverse forex movement and strengthening of commodity prices. The Finance Ministry is considering the imposition of higher excise duty on diesel vehicles in the upcoming Budget likely to be unveiled in March. If this excise duty hike coupled with a de-regulation of diesel prices comes into affect, could have a negative impact on sales. Valuations & Rating Our valuation is based on Discounted Cash Flow method and we expect in the long run the company will be able to improve its margins and market share. We put a BUY rating on the scrip with a target of Rs 1409,that is a percentage appreciation of 13% from the current levels.
