Betting on Evoque
Tata Motors (TAMO) is the largest CV manufacturer in India
with a market share of ~60% each in both the M&HCV and
LCV segments. While the domestic M&HCV business is likely
to moderate, we believe the CV segment’s overall volume
growth would be driven by strong performance from the
LCV segment. During FY11-13E, we expect JLR’s volume
growth and margin profile to remain strong (largely driven
by Land Rover’s high-margin portfolio). We initiate
coverage with a BUY rating and SOTP-based target price of
Rs1,557 (Rs499 for standalone business, Rs942 for JLR
business and Rs116/share for its investments in
subsidiaries).

􀂁 Evoque to drive JLR volumes: We expect JLR’s volume
growth to be largely driven by launch of Evoque. JLR is
expected to register volume growth of 14%/15% in
FY12E/FY13E compared to 25% in FY11E, largely driven by
the launch of Evoque in Land Rover’s portfolio. We have
factored volumes of 24,000 units and 57,600 units for
Evoque for FY12E/FY13E. We expect JLR to report EBITDA
margins of 14.9%/14.3%/14.2% in FY11E/FY12E/ FY13E
(YTDFY11 EBITDA margin stands at 15.3%) compared to
4.5% in FY10. Strong cash flows will sustain JLR’s planned
annual capex of UK£800-900mn, going forward.
􀂁 M&HCV (goods) growth to moderate, but LCVs to
remain strong: We expect volume growth to moderate for
the M&HCV segment. Based on outlook for the industry, we
expect TAMO to register volume growth of 10.1%/10.2% in
the M&HCV segment over FY12E/FY13E compared to 23%
in FY11. The LCV segment will continue to remain strong
(volume growth of 19% and 19.4% FY12E/FY13E as
compared to 24% in FY11), largely driven by new product
launches and our positive view on demand scenario for
LCVs. However, market share gains in Passenger Vehicle
segment would remain challenging.
􀂁 Consolidated debt and cash flow position to remain
strong: Driven by strong profitability and cash generation
from JLR’s operations, the current net automotive
debt/equity stands at 0.8x. This puts TAMO in a very
comfortable position from gearing perspective compared
to the high of 6x in Q2FY10 and 2.1x in Q1FY11.
􀂁 Valuations and Recommendation: At the CMP of Rs1,250,
the stock is currently trading at 8.3x FY12E consolidated
EPS of Rs150 and 7.0x FY13E consolidated EPS of Rs180. We
initiate coverage with a BUY and a SOTP-based target price
of Rs1,557 (Rs499 for the standalone business, Rs942 for
JLR business and Rs116/share for investments in
subsidiaries).
