SML Isuzu (2QFY18): Short-term blip, long-term positive. Maintain BUY

Buy: SML Isuzu Ltd.

HDFC Securities

We value SMLI on 20x P/E on Sept-19E EPS. Maintain BUY with a TP of Rs 1225. SML Isuzu posted in-line revenue at Rs 2.27bn (-25% YoY) in 2Q. Volumes fell by 35% YoY (2.26k), owing to unsold BS3 inventory, insufficient supply of chassis frame components, shortage of BS4 components and a slowdown in Bus demand. EBITDA came in at Rs 45mn (-74% YoY), with margin at 2% (-338bps YoY), impacted by operating de-leverage and conversion cost (~Rs 8mn) of vehicles from BS3 to BS4.

SML Isuzu (Update): Bottoming out. Maintain BUY

Buy: SML Isuzu Ltd.

Target

HDFC Securities

Maintain BUY with a TP of Rs 1225. We hosted the management of SML Isuzu (SMLI) for a series of investor meetings. We believe that SMLIs growth ahead will be based on (1) Strong brand equity in the school bus segment and debottlenecking of capacity in the peak season, (2) increase in capacity utilisation led by expanding presence in the cargo segment, (3) Technology support from Isuzu Motors (which owns 15% stake in the company), (4) Expanding the product and distribution network, (5) Improvement in margins led by operating leverage.

SML Isuzu (1QFY18): Near-term blip, long-term positive. Maintain BUY

Buy: SML Isuzu Ltd.

Target

HDFC Securities

Maintain BUY with TP of Rs 1,325 (20x FY19E EPS). SML Isuzu posted in-line revenue in 1Q at Rs 3.1bn (31% YoY). Volumes fell by 36% YoY owing to de-stocking at the dealer level pre GST implementation, weak replacement demand and subdued freight rates. EBITDA came in at Rs 183mn (-71% YoY), with margin at 5.7% (-770bps YoY), impacted by operating de-leverage and one-time conversion cost (~Rs 50mn) of vehicles from BS3 to BS4. Although FY18 numbers are expected to be subdued owing to hit in earnings in 1Q (peak season for school buses), we believe the company is well-placed to reap the rising demand of the passenger carrier segment.
