Motherson Sumi: Performance on course… 
Motherson Sumi (MSL) reported positive numbers for Q3FY11 that were
in line with our estimates as net sales grew to | 2083.1 crore (I-direct
estimate: | 2176.2 crore), up 16.9% YoY and 8.7% QoQ. This was driven
by a strong 15.1% QoQ jump in standalone revenues whose
contribution to total revenues  has risen 170 bps QoQ to 35.8%. MSL
had to deal with unfavourable euro movement leading to translation
related declines. MSL has managed to improve margins in the wake of
rising input costs as a large global presence provided sourcing
flexibility, higher product categories led to reduced dependency on
specific RM along with implementation of various costs rationalisations
exercises. EBIDTA margins improved 180 bps sequentially at 11.8%.
However, PAT margins have been  further boosted due to lower tax
rates owing to tax adjustments/benefits for the foreign subsidiaries.

Highlights of the quarter
Q3FY11 has seen a strong performance on the standalone entity along
with improvements in performance of the subsidiaries inclusive of SMR.
The standalone entity has seen resurgence in exports (up 37.8% YoY)
along with robust domestic automotive growth. Among subsidiaries, the
major SMR has seen euro revenues rise ~13% YoY. However, due to
unfavourable euro translation rates, rupee revenue seems flat YoY. Cost
rationalisation measures undertaken across MSL, have seen the
subsidiaries turning more profitable with ex-SMR margins up ~25%and
SMR ~6%. With the completion of the earlier long-term sourcing
contracts (from Q1FY12), SMR is expected to improve on the margins
front. The management is confident of global automotive growth with the
growth in order book pertaining to new car launches globally.
Valuation
MSL is one of the leading ancillary suppliers globally and has been
continuously improving its content per car and remains positive on strong
SMR margin growth. At the CMP of | 184, the stock is trading at 20.4x
FY11E and 15.3x FY12E consolidated EPS. Using SOTP, the stake in SMR
is valued at | 39/share (0.6x price /sales) while the remaining business is
valued at | 161/share (16x FY12E EPS). Our target price of | 200 implies
an upside potential of 9%. We maintain our ADD rating on the stock.

The strong resurgence in global automotive growth led by the US has
