SYMC comes into the fold
􀂄 Dr. Pawan Goenka appointed as SYMC chairman
M&M has announced new appointments in Ssangyong; 1.Dr. Pawan Goenka,

America) and 3)Mr. Dilip Sundaram (from M&M) is appointed as the new CFO.
SYMC is to be run by the Korean mgmt team under the leadership of the new
CEO.
􀂄 Ssangyong to invest more in product development & brand building
Ssangyong has announced that it intends to increase investment in product
development by 70% YoY (~$177m) in 2011 to help strengthen the product
pipeline. In addition, it expects to increase investments in brand building in Korea
(+60% YoY to ~$35m) and overseas (+400% YoY) in 2011. We believe these
investments are critical for the long term growth of the company. Mgmt. is also
looking to harness significant synergies between the two companies.
􀂄 Strong volume growth momentum to continue
Ssangyong gained market share in Q3FY11 by 20bps (refer chart 1) with
underlying volume growth of 70% YoY. The company reported 60% YoY increase
in volumes (ytd CY11). We expect volume growth of 18%/30% for FY12/13
respectively. We expect EBITDA margins to significantly improve with improving
volumes (from 2.5% in Q1’10 to 9.4% in FY13E).
􀂄 Valuation: Maintain Buy, PT Rs 910
We value the standalone business at Rs660/shr, based on an average 8x FY12-13E
EV/EBITDA; its subsidiaries at Rs190/shr; and Ssangyong stake at Rs 60/shr


􀁑 Mahindra & Mahindra
Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) manufactures utility vehicles (UVs), tractors,
commercial vehicles (CVs), three-wheelers and gensets. It is India's market
leader in UVs and tractors. The autos and farm equipment divisions contributed
56% to M&M's consolidated revenue in FY09. M&M, through its joint ventures
with Navistar, manufactures and markets medium and heavy CVs in India.
M&M has subsidiaries in IT services (Tech Mahindra), financial services
(M&M Financial Services), infrastructure development (Mahindra Lifespace
Developers), hospitality (Mahindra Holidays & Resorts) and auto components.
􀁑 Statement of Risk
Principal risk to M&M’s earnings estimates arise from fluctuation in vehicle
sales volumes and fluctuation in raw material cost. Other businesses in the
M&M group, viz. IT, Infrastructure, financing etc are exposed to interest rate
risk, currency risk etc.
