Indus Motor Company (INDU)

Repositioning to brace growth We re-initiate coverage on Indus Motor Company Ltd (INDU) with a BUY stance based on our DCF based Jun’21 Target Price of PKR 1,708/share. Our valuation implies an upside of 26.1% besides a forward dividend yield of 6.3% in FY21. This translates into a TSR of 32.4%. Theme of economic recovery is expected to play out in favour of the automobile sector, underpinned by low cost of consumer loans and a stable exchange rate. Pakistan, being a consumer economy, is slated to witness strong auto demand growth for long-term. INDU is poised to be a major beneficiary from an expected sharp recovery of 48% in auto demand, thereby continuing a 14.5% CAGR over FY21-25.We expect earnings to recover 86% in FY21 to PKR 120.42/share, gaining momentum over our investment case horizon and reaching of PKR 199.5/share in FY23 near to historical high. INDU trades at a forward PE of 11.2x/8.8x for FY21-22 offering DPS of PKR 85.0 & 110.0 over FY21-22. Our investment case relies on:

Repositioning: INDU has introduced Yaris to reposition its space in the 1.3L

and 1.5L category. Corolla, the star product, will stay in the product portfolio

and only compete in 1.6L and 1.8L category. Yaris is expected to solidify its

market share upto 39% as it takes on Corolla sales from lower cylinder

capacity category

Capacity expansion: In an anticipation of strong volumetric growth, INDU

has incurred a whopping capex during last two years to increase their

production capacity to 80,000 units on double shift basis

Cheap consumer financing: Volumetric growth from auto-financing is yet to

blossom as banks have just started rolling out attractive schemes;

outstanding auto loans stand at PKR 215bn (2% FY21TD) against Feb’20 peak

of PKR 219bn. INDU’s allocation of auto-financing cumulates to 30% of total

sales indicating strong recovery projections in the medium term

Strong cash generation: Pre-bookings are expected to sustain over

investment horizon rendering a cash rich balance sheet and healthy interest

income

Key Risks: Major downside risks to our investment thesis include: 1) lower than expected volumetric sales growth, 2) inability to pass on devaluation impact to end consumers, 3) intense competition from new players in sedan category, and 4) aggressive monetary tightening.

Tied up with GDP growth

Cyclicality of the auto industry is underpinned by its strong correlation with GDP growth

and monetary policy environment. Upon a decade long analysis of automobile demand

against GDP growth for the period FY10-19, we witnessed a GDP growth multiplier of

1.5x for volumetric automobile sales growth. GDP growth slowed down during FY19-20

backed by aggressive monetary tightening causing a massive decline in auto demand,

which was exacerbated by the outbreak of novel Coronavirus during FY20. However,

with the economy moving back on recovery road along with expansionary monetary

policy, we expect industry demand to recover by 48% during FY21.

Monetary easing brings auto financing to the forefront

Despite policy rate cut of 625 bps since Mar’20, auto financing is yet to materialize as

lockdown restrictions resulted in slow recovery of economic activity. Outstanding auto

loans stand at PKR 215bn (end Jul’20) – which are 40% of total consumer financing.

Auto financing has grown at a 5yr-CAGR of 30% (PKR 64bn to PKR 198bn) during the

period of FY13-18, when policy rate contracted from 12% to 5.75%. With policy rate

reverting to demand conducive level, we believe auto demand will be revitalised from

here onwards. It is pertinent to note that roughly 30% of INDU sales are contributed

by auto financing as per the management.

Utilizations peaked during the last boom

There exists massive potential for automobile assemblers in Pakistan, nonetheless, it

is skewed towards middle to high income groups. Industry car sales demand peaked

in FY18 at 258k units, accomodated mainly by three OEMs having combined capacity

of 255k units. Since then, demand started dwindling and finally hit the rock bottom in

FY20 at 112k units. Current capacity of three OEMs stands at 266k units with other

new entrants i.e. Kia Lucky Motors (Kia) and Hyundai Nishat Motors (Hyundai) further

enhancing supply by another 65k units.

Earlier the demand was entertained by three players with PSMC leading market share,

with INDU and HCAR rounding off the podium places.

Currency risk has dissipated considerably

Pakistan’s Current Account Deficit (CAD) reached an alarming levels of USD 19.2bn

(6.1% of GDP) while PKR remained overvalued against the greenback. The government

took strong measures to tame the current account and SBP adopted market-based

exchange rate to provide stability to the local currency; which started to devalue from

a fixed exchange rate regime. Currently the CAD stands in a soft zone of USD 2.97bn

(1.1% of GDP), causing us to have a bearish stance over any near-term currency

shocks.

Presently, the real effective exchange rate (REER) of PKR is below 100, illustrating an

undervalued scenario against USD. We do not expect significant devaluation going

forward as forex reserves provide adequate import cover in short-medium term.

Lagged price translation from devaluation

In Pakistan, automobile assemblers are exposed to exchange rate risks because

localization is insufficient. This convention is evident from surging import costs,

leaving assemblers with no choice but to transfer inflationary impact to end

consumers. However, gross margin is not completely shielded as assemblers are

unable to completely pass-on the exchange rate impact without compromising on

volumetric growth. Moreover, this impact is dealt by price hikes with a lag effect.

We have graphically explained this phenomena by plotting currency devaluation with

monthly prices of Toyota Corolla (flagship model of INDU) since July’17, portraying a

lagged price transfer.

INDU led margins in the past

Historically, INDU has posted relatively higher gross margin compared to it’s peers

primarily attributable to its high-end luxury vehicles, with Fortuner (high margin

automobile) contributing substantially in this regard. Both INDU and HCAR witnessed

high gross margin in FY17, with INDU peaking at 17.7%. FY19 had a sluggish industry

outlook amid PKR devaluation of 34%, this continued in FY20 which was also marred

by the pandemic in the latter half of the fiscal year. Understandably, INDU’s gross

margin lowered to 8.65% in FY20.

Based on our analysis, we do not anticipate INDU’s margin to reach their previous high

due to increased competition restricting them to incur price hikes while retaining its

market share.

New entrants and expansions on board

The increase in competition is around the corner with new players making inroads to

dent the market share of existing OEMs. With monetary easing of 625bps by SBP and

declining COVID19 cases bringing positive tides, consumerism is likely to kick-start

once again as approximately 70% of Pakistan’s population belongs to less than 34

years old; a demographic print that can be a leading indicator. This demographic trait

was keenly observed by foreign players as well who took advantage of ADP Policy

2016-21 to set up auto assembly lines in hopes to capture the inevitable growth cycle.

On this premise, we expect a sharp industry recovery of 48% for FY21 which would

continue to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% over the remainder of our investment horizon.

Oligoplistic shackles have been broken

The Automotive Development Policy (ADP) 2016-21 has changed the landscape of the

sector by providing incentives to new players for setting up assembly lines, which have

potentially put a drastic end to the prevailing oligopolistic industry structure. The new

entrants, Kia and Hyundai, have commenced production in FY20 with other renowned

companies like Proton and Volkswagen in pipeline to commence operational activities

in FY21.

Kia and Hyundai have launched Sportage and Tucson, respectively, in a hybrid

segment of crossover SUV, providing consumers with a relatively superior drive in a

similar price point range. We believe that the crossover SUVs from new entrants is

unlikely to give direct competition to Toyota’s Fortuner as it operates in the main SUV

segment. Similarly, Hilux would also retain its prestige (over it’s main competitor Isuzu

D-max) due to its popularity in rural areas as well as being the favored choice of

military personnels.

Indigenous level of new players

Kia has injected USD 175mn to set up assembly plant with capacity of 50,000 units. Its

localization currently stands at 12% and is projected to stretch to 50% localization or

a similar level to existing OEMs in the next 5 years. On the other hand, Hyundai had

initially invested USD 150mn for a single-shift capacity of 15,000 units plant with

further plans of investing additional USD 80mn to enhance their production capacity

to 30,000 units p.a. by 2023. Currently, they are assembling with 20% localization

level, which they intent to increase to 45% in the next 5 years.

New players such as Kia and Hyundai will enjoy cheap import tariffs for the first 5 years

of commissioning. They can import non-localized and localized part at customs duty

of 10% and 25% respectively, bolstering their competency in the OEM market.

However, during the tariff benefit window they will be planning to switch gears

towards localization to be more competitive with exisiting OEMs in upcoming years.

Ride sharing: Is it a threat?

Ride sharing in Pakistan has changed the overall transport system, with Careem and

Uber beginning operations in FY16. Mass transit providers like Airlift and Swvl have

provided working class, a cheap and scheduled alternative for daily commutation.

Both of these services being rendered for a separate segment of society, possessing

extraordinary capacity of revolutionizing conventional mode of traveling via hassle-

free services, proving popular especially in metropolitan cities suffering from

congested traffic and insufficient parking spaces. Cost-benefit analysis between self-

owned cars’ and ride-sharing services – Uber and Careem in this case – indicates

owning a car is relatively more expensive than the other. Successful operations of

these services combined with the change in perception amongst masses will

materialize into a relatively material threat for the automobile industry.

Electric Vehicle policy

Electric Vehicle (EV) policy has been approved by Economic Coordination (ECC) for the

next five years with the aim of cutting pollution and curbing climate change. The policy

is framed for only electric 2-3 wheelers and heavy commercial vehicles (buses and

trucks) in the initial phase, in which specific parts of 2-3 wheelers will be imported at

1% custom duty and 1% GST. The incentive for electric cars would be added to policy

at later stages, leaving room for current assemblers to fulfill the existing demand.

Ride-sharing can potentially

become a threat if used

extensively by the masses

Any near-term impact on auto

demand from EV policy seems

too far-fetched, in our view

Customs duty imposed on current

players for importing CKD parts

lies in the range of 55-75% based

on cylinder capacity

INDU expanded to cater growing demand

INDU has incurred whopping capex of c. PKR 15bn during FY19-20 to enhance capacity

to 80k units on double shift basis, potentially increasing to 90-100k units through

debottlenecking, from previous 66k units. Capacity expansion is currently in its final

stages with commissioning expected by 1HFY21. Sales culminated to 65k units in FY19

before bottoming out to remarkably low levels of 28k units in FY20. Aided by

recovering economic activity, we expect 65%YoY growth (c.47k units) during FY21,

likely attaining momentum in the medium term, going beyond the historic peak post

FY23.

At their highest levels, delivery time usually took 6-7 months due to capacity

restraints. Presently, this period has reduced to 2-3 months potentially sustaining due

to i) commencement of double shift from Sep’20 ii) expansion in latter half of CY20.

Yaris; likely star product of INDU

INDU’s popularity emanates from its competitive pricing and high resale value. They

have launched six variants of Toyota Yaris in Mar’20 in 1.3L and 1.5L segments, with

the intention of replacing/repositioning its star product Corolla while competing

Honda City’s in the same segment. Both variants are priced similarly, but Yaris is

equipped with additional features such as superior interior design and availability of

airbags (which are currently unavailable in Honda City).

In our view, Toyota Yaris is expected to takeover some market share of Honda City

until it introduces 7th generation. It is pertinent to note that Honda has introduced

newer generations of Civic but continues to operate City’s 5th generation for more

than a decade. Historically, price difference between Corolla and City was

approximately 200k-300k (Corolla was more expensive) which has been reduced

substantially with the launch of new Yaris. Yaris replaced the basic variant of Corolla

XLI and GLI in 1.3L segments and added 1.5L in the product portfolio, with Corolla

retaining its existence in 1.6L and 1.8L segments.

Assembling process ensures adequate liquidity

process. This has enabled them to operate with low cash conversion cycles, in-fact

negative, ensuring pre-payments before delivery.

Cash and equivalents at Jun’20 for INDU stand at PKR 42bn (PKR 539/share) which is

c.40% of total market capitalization, portraying INDU as a cash rich company. The high

cash is a result of advances from customers on car booking which allows the company

to utilize excess cash to invest in PIBs & T-Bills and earn considerable return,

translating its impact in bottom-line, magnifying their profitability. However, if we net

off the impact of advances from cash and equivalents, company’s liquid position is still

satisfactory (PKR 18bn: PKR 227/share).

The just-in-time process of

Higher cash availability is translated into equity based expansion, keeping company

relatively debt free. Moreover, INDU is planning to launch Toyota Cross in the

crossover SUV segment during FY21, which will require additional capital expenditure

of PKR 10-13bn, potentially being financed from internal cash generation. It is

pertinent to mention that e have not incorporated the sales of Toyota Cross in our

investment case.

Corolla’s heritage

Toyota Corolla is undoubtedly the most popular Sedan in Pakistan, owing to its value

for money, availability of cheaper parts leading to lower maintenance costs, better

mileage and instant resale making it the preferred choice. Due to its built, it has also

proven to be extremely popular with for rural consumers and middle-income groups

by offering multiple variants ranging from 1.3L to 1.8L segments. All these factors have

contributed towards volumetric sales of more than 50,000 units p.a. for the past five

years (FY15-19) which no other car in Pakistan has ever managed.

Key risks

Lower than expected volumetric growth

Our investment theme is based on recovery in volumetric sales amid improving

macroeconomic indicators. Lower than expected recovery in sales is a downside risk

to our investment case.

Impact of new players

INDU has kept a persistent share in Sedan segment due to its flagship model Corolla,

however, emergence of new players in this category can penetrate the market putting

our valuation at a downside risk.

Unable to pass on devaluation impact

Our base assumption implies that INDU will pass on any impact of currency

devaluation to end consumer. However, higher than expected currency devaluation

(6% is our base case) will compromise volumetric growth, exposing our investment

case to exchange rate risk. On the other hand, we have presented an exchange rate

sensitivity for investors assuming no annualized devaluation impact being passed

through to end consumers.

Interest rate risk

Monetary tightening of (200-300 bps) from current levels of 7% can disrupt auto

financing, hence, impeding recovery of volumes. As indicated by management, INDU

sales are roughly 30% from auto financing, therefore, changes in interest rates are a

downside risk to our volumetric estimates.

Ride sharing

Ride sharing gaining attraction in masses can be a potential threat to auto sales, as it

provides cheaper alternative to commute, putting our valuation at a downside risk.
