integration in manufacturing with OEMs, well-spread manufacturing

Ingrained objectives driving improvement

Renewed focus on growth, margin, returns and cash flow

Under the current management team, which was put in place post

the restructuring in FY16, the company has intensified focus on four

key financial metrics for each and every business that the company

would continue or pursue. The metrics include:

sales growth of over 17%

PBT margin of 10% or more

RoCE of 30% or more

FCF/PAT of 85%

Importantly, along with prioritising these four metrics, the company

has undertaken organisational restructuring to ensure that these

targets are ingrained and understood across the organisation, till the

shop floor level. The company has taken multiple steps to achieve

this over the past four years which include:

Decentralisation and empowerment – The company created 18

business units (BUs), with each business head focussing on

growth and lowering the centre of gravity (freedom of decision

making and responsibility), instead of only exercising control

Project-based approach – Keeping to the Kaizen Mindset for

driving improvements, the company formed >60 project teams

for functions like logistics, procurement, scrap realisation,

energy, fixed cost reduction, etc. These function across

businesses to drive organisation-wide improvements.

Such efforts have borne fruit for the company’s three largest

divisions/businesses, with improvements across the four parameters.

Overall company-level RoCE has improved, from 12.8% to 20.4%

over last four years. Healthy FCF has also supported deleveraging for

the company, over the past four years.

Allocating capital judiciously, across product segments

In order to leverage the strong established manufacturing

capabilities and solution-driven mindset, management has

recognised the market opportunity and possible runway for various

businesses. This is driving capital allocation in a more fruitful way for

Strengthening leadership in core operations

Direct play on domestic auto recovery

Strong product portfolio for most auto manufacturers

Over the past several years, TI has built up strong leadership

position in the auto component segment for most of the products it

manufactures and supplies through a combination of excellence in

various aspects, including:

An extensive product portfolio across tubes, tubular components,

CRSS, fine blank products, PV door frames.

Pan India manufacturing presence for closer integration with

customers.

Forming a strong, well-established and transparent relationship

with OEMs, from the product-development phase itself.

Well-developed supply chain and focussed, solution-based

investment in R&D.

Established infrastructure for handling new product development.

Strong financial metrics.

The key products are used in 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, passenger

vehicles as well as commercial vehicles. With ~56% of consolidated

revenues (75% for engineering products, 67% for metal formed

products) linked to the auto segment, TI is a direct play on the

recovery in auto volumes, domestically.

TI’s Rajpura plant commissioned in Nov-2019

The new Rajpura facility was commissioned in Nov-2019. Full-year

benefits are likely to flow-in during FY21-22. The company has plans for further expansion in phase-2 as well.

The plant has indigenously built an ERW mill for high-frequency welding. TI’s corporate technology centre aided in the building of the customised machine architecture at this facility.

Key products include High Strength Tubes and Telescopic Front Forks.

The facility addresses demand density, and provides customer proximity and better geographical balance for TI.

A significant part of the demand in North is accommodated from this facility, thereby optimising logistics and lowering costs. It also provides additional headroom for catering for exports from coastal plants in

South India.

Bolstered with strong R&D capabilities, focus on product quality and

seamless delivery, TI has become the preferred vendor of safety

critical components for auto manufactures. Its leadership position

and well-entrenched relationships with clients have ensured steady

market-share gains for the company across large OEMs, traversing

various products.

TI did see an impact of the slowdown in auto demand in FY20

revenues which is likely to exacerbate in 1HFY21, given the overall

trend in auto-volume sales.

However, its wide presence across different segments means that TI

is best-placed to benefit in the overall volume recovery for the auto

segment. Our auto analyst is building-in volume growth of 25%,

23% and 76% for the 2W, PV and M&HCV segments for FY22ii. This

should translate into revenue pickup for TI as well.

Auto industry volumes have witnessed a pull back by a decade,

and our auto team expects strong rebound in FY22. Following the

Covid-19 related disruption, IIFL expects

15%/15%/24%/40%/25% YoY decline in PVs/2Ws/3Ws/

MHCVs/LCVs, respectively during FY21ii.

Given that the FY21 decline is on top of a sharp down-cycle in

FY20, PV (cars) and 2W volumes in FY21 would be 30% below

the FY19 peak, while FY21 MHCV volumes would be 1/3rd of the

FY19 peak.

PV volumes in FY21 would plunge back to the FY11 levels, while

MHCV volumes in FY21 would be lower than the GFC levels. On

this base, we forecast a sharp rebound in volumes, in FY22.

As per IIFL estimates, PVs/2Ws/3Ws/MHCVs/LCVs are expected

to grow 23%/25%/24%/76%/36% YoY during FY22ii. An

economic recovery coupled with a favourable base should drive a

strong upcycle in the auto sector over the next 2-3 years. This

would support healthy volumes for domestic auto ancillaries and other dependent firms, including Tube Investments.

business, the company has tried to counter this hit through higher

focus on after-sales market demand for spares. In the metal formed

products business, auto chains, under the brand Diamond Chains,

have seen healthy traction. Focus has been on innovative products

such as chains for higher CC bikes as well as various types of

innovative chains for standard segment bikes. The company also

leveraged the multi-layered distribution infrastructure, to deepen its

market presence.

Tapping into the global auto supply chain

Given the leadership position in the core engineering business (ERW

tubes, CRSS and door frames) as well as in the overall auto volume

prospects, both on a domestic scale, management expects growth

for these products to range between 5% and 15% over the medium-

to-long term at the national level. This would clearly be below the

target growth levels for any business.

To leverage its manufacturing prowess and diversify away from the

domestic auto segment, the company has increased focus on exports

of auto products. The past few years have seen the share of exports

grow steadily.

This is likely to accelerate, supported by fresh approvals from global

OEMs. Majority of the exports, currently, are in the engineering

segment, to customers in Europe, South East Asia and China. Metal

formed products export growth is led by building new distributors

and channel partners in Central America and SAARC.

Commissioning of the Rajpura plant in Punjab, in Nov-2019, provides

the company significant headroom to increase focus on exports, as

this frees up capacity at the plants in Tamil Nadu, which have an

added advantage of proximity to ports. The Rajpura plant has now

been configured to meet the tighter specifications needed for the

export markets.

Management highlights that the approval process for more products

has already commenced, even as the company invests to garner the

opportunities emerging from the Euro-6 changeover as well as from

electric vehicles. Importantly, tighter specifications and lower

competition will translate into higher margins vs the domestic auto

business for TI’s engineering products. Additionally, management

expects gains from the China Plus One strategy for global auto

OEMs, post the supply-chain disruptions due to Covid-19.

Healthy traction in non-auto business

Efforts on, to grow non-auto revenues for engineering and

metal formed product

Over the last four years, the company has seen steady growth in the

non-auto business, including railway coaches and large dia tubes for

off-road vehicle applications. This has been a conscious choice by the

management for diversifying revenue streams to reduce dependence

and, hence, the cyclicality from exposure to the auto sector.

In the engineering products segment, large dia tubes for

construction equipment as well as tractors are the key offering.

Opportunity in the large dia non-auto segment is due to import

substitution, given only few competitive manufacturers domestically.

Investment in R&D to develop products that meet specifications has

been a key trend for the company in this segment.

In the metal formed segment, the industrial chains business

contributes meaningful revenues. Growth is led by demand from

industries, including construction equipment, material handling,

agricultural equipment, cement, power, conveyor manufacturers,

food processing and multi-level car parking. Overall, growth here

would be subdued but steady, and the company will likely benefit

from the entrenched position with key large clients.

Tender for 44 Vande Bharat trains

The Indian Railways has floated the revised Tender of semi high-

speed 44 Vande Bharat trains-sets. The Tender is for 3-phase

Propulsion, Control and other Equipment, along with bogies for the

trains-sets. The main features of the Tender are as under:

Train-sets shall be manufactured at ICF/Chennai,

RCF/Kapurthala and MCF/Raebareli

It shall be a local (indigenous) tender

A two-stage, reverse auction shall take place

The revised Tender is in line with Government of India’s preference

for the Make in India policy; the minimum local content percentage

has been revised to 75%. It is the first big tender under the revised

DPIIT norms of AtmaNirbhar Bharat and has at least 75% domestic

components. This tender is now a Domestic Tender, with only the

companies registered in India eligible to apply, and would have to

quote in Indian Rupees.

The company has also started supplying parts for metro train

manufacturing in both, India and overseas. This has been a

remunerative business with healthy return ratios, despite being a

B2G (business-to-government) business.

Cycle market in India − Key facts

The domestic bicycles market is estimated at 16.3m units

annually, with 63:37 split broadly, between the standard

(roadster bikes for rural & urban) and specials (mountain bikes,

performance bikes) segments.

Historically, bicycle volumes have grown at low single-digit

levels, although there has been an uptick post Covid-related

disruptions. Low penetration levels vs global levels is an

opportunity but lack of proper infrastructure is a key

impediment.

60% of the cycle-demand originates from rural markets

emphasising focus on wide distribution.

Overall, the cycles business, with revenue of Rs13.6bn and operating

profit of Rs357m in FY17, was the smallest contributor to standalone

profits. This along with a relatively higher working capital cycle

meant that it was actually a drag on the overall return ratio and cash

flows for the company, over the past few years.

However, under the new management, the company has been able

to turn around the business through strategic steps such as exit from

the institutional business, which meaningfully improved margins and

RoICs.

Other significant steps and initiatives include:

Rationalising of the product portfolio towards

affordability/specialities. New product development through

innovation has benefited overall revenue growth over FY19-20.

Rationalisation of the cost structure to reduce breakeven

volumes, from ~0.18m cycles annually to ~0.145m cycles.

Streamlining and rationalising the distribution network through

optimised warehousing.

Consolidation of manufacturing footprint post commissioning of

the 250,000-unit capacity Rajpura plant, as the company was

able to close down the Nashik facility for bicycles.

Investments in marketing and distribution, with steady increase

in Track & trail stores. Leveraging rapid increase in internet

penetration through its omni-channel strategy.

However, given the state of the market, management admits that

these steps can only help the company cover some distance, in

terms of growth potential, segment margins and RoICs. Further

measures to meet overall company-level targets would involve

playing on the manufacturing strength to tap newer markets. This

will primarily be targeted towards generating volumes so as to sweat

the assets, including the new Rajpura plant.

Shanti Gears – A steady performer

TI has presence in the gears manufacturing business through its

70.47%-owned subsidiary Shanti Gears. Acquired in 2012 for

~Rs4.64bn, Shanti Gear ranks among the leading industrial-gear

manufacturers, with four factories and over 1,000 employees. The

company’s operations are fully integrated with an in-house R&D

team for design and engineering, in-house foundry, a fabrication and

forging unit, comprehensive heat treatment facilities and an

extensive tool room for manufacturing hobs and cutters.

Shanti Gears has differentiated itself as a leader in custom-made

gears and loose gears, with ~70% of revenues being generated from

customised products for industrial usage.

Extending the strength in custom-built gears, the company has

increased focus on product development for major global customers

in priority sectors. Combined with cost optimisation, this should aid

growth as well as profitability over FY22-23ii.

The company has also strengthened presence in the servicing and

replacement segment of gears, under Shanti Rebuild. Service centres

in strategic locations in the country helped sustain the competitive

advantage for the company.

Keeping a VC mind-set to invest in new businesses

As highlighted earlier, post the restructuring in FY16, the new TI

management has shifted focus, to operate the business with an eye

on four key financial metrics. And each business has been put on the

path to meet these targets. The new management has also looked at

possible avenues to diversify revenue streams from new businesses

with long-term growth potential, so as to further leverage its strong

manufacturing capabilities and improving balance-sheet position.

Capital allocation to the new businesses will still be subject to the

potential to meet or exceed the four key financial parameters, along

with other parameters such as large market size, growth potential

and low capital intensity. However, the company will look at new

businesses with the viewpoint of a venture capitalist, i.e. only a few

of the many businesses will succeed in a major way, and cover the

losses in others, which do not succeed.

Under this framework, the company has forayed into some new

businesses over the past 3-4 years, following themes such as import

substitution and exports, auto electrification, unorganised to

organised, and B2B to B2C. The company has tried to harvest

adjacencies to begin with, so as to leverage on manufacturing

capabilities and other synergies.

TMT bars – The company forayed into the manufacture and sale

of TMT bars in strategic tie up with the Sakthi Group. Offering

two products (500D TMT and 550D TMT bars), it has steadily

grown the distribution network to 200 dealers in all districts of

Tamil Nadu and has focussed on intensive brand-building and

market promotion. The annual report highlights that TI Macho

has gained recognition as a value brand with premium pricing in

the commodity space.

Truck body building – The company forayed Truck body

building in 2018, under the unorganised to organised theme

pitching 10-20% weight reduction and enhanced load capacity as

the USPs. The company offers fixed side deck, high side deck and

drop side deck for open haulage as well as regular and

refrigerated load designs for closed haulage. While last year was

tough amid slowing demand, there is a shift underway from the

outsourcing model to captive operations across various locations

country-wide. The adverse tax impact as against the unorganised

market has been a key constraint in the segment.

Optic lens – The company has identified vision products as a

growth opportunity for the automotive industry. A plant to

manufacture optical glass lens has been set up at a capex of

Rs500m, along with a technology partner. As capabilities grow,

this can be leveraged to climb the value chain and support other

industries & sectors too.

TMT bars, Truck body building and optic lens are the new businesses that TI has ventured into recently

CG Power–Large step to diversify business

Tube Investments has taken a giant and bold step towards reducing

the share of exposure to the domestic auto industry and

strengthening its industrial manufacturing portfolio through the

acquisition of controlling stake in CG Power and Industrial Systems

(CG Power). TI management highlights reasonable valuation for a

leading industrial product manufacturer with strong possibility to

enhance revenue growth, improve profitability and drive capital

efficiency as the key rationale for the acquisition.

The company is currently awaiting CCI approval for closure of the

transaction by end-Oct/early-Nov 2020. TI will end-up owning a

domestic franchise (primarily) with market-leading positions in

motors and railway products, along with a strong product offering in

transformers/switchgears. It also inherits the CG Power brand and,

with non-compete on B2C products now over, will look to launch

other products around the motors portfolio.

In terms of targets, TI management indicated a 4-5 year revenue

target of Rs50bn and PBT margin of 10%, even as FY21 would see

further contraction in revenues primarily due to working capital

issues. Ramp-up in the motors portfolio should be the fastest among

peers, given that a competitive product offering helped CG Power

retain market leadership despite little cash support over FY20-21. In

our view, management guidance seems conservative, especially if

the end-market growth bounces back faster than peers.

Management also highlights its target, to be debt-free at the CG

Power level over next 4-5 years, despite possible requirement of

additional funding for working capital and capex. Resolution of

contingent liabilities (especially regarding related-party transactions

and corporate guarantees worth Rs9.5bn given to various

international operations that are under bankruptcy proceedings in

various markets) remains the key risk.

Key risk to generating value from the Rs8bn invested for acquisition

is actual on-ground execution in a largely unrelated business for TI.

Apart from the customer overlap in the Railways segment, where

both TI and CG Power operate, the motors and

transformer/switchgear businesses are completely distinct. Attracting

talent for R&D, manufacturing and marketing/sales would be key to

a successful turnaround.

Financial Outlook & Valuations

Over the past four years ending FY20, all key metrics across the

three businesses have seen meaningful improvement, barring the

auto slowdown-led decline in revenue in FY20. The company has

been able to improve operating margins across the three businesses;

it has lowered the working capital cycle, driving improvement in

RoIC as well as cash-flows. The balance sheet is in a much stronger

position vs. earlier.

FY21 will see reversal to some extent, due to Covid-related

disruption to the auto business (~65% of overall revenues) as well

as to other businesses. The healthier balance sheet, combined with a

strong group heritage, should ensure that TI emerges stronger, to

harvest the emerging opportunities post the disruption.

Over the medium-to-long term post the easing of the ongoing

disruption, we expect the company to benefit from revival in auto

volumes, increased success in exports as well as turnaround of the

cycles business. We, hence, expect consolidated revenue to bounce

back almost entirely by FY22, and FY23 to witness 16% consolidated

revenue growth in the existing business.

TI has been able to improve operating margins across

businesses, lowered working capital and

improved its RoICs and cash flows over the past

four years

Most segments the company operates in allow pass through for the

key RM – steel lending stability to gross margins. Procurement

efficiencies (done largely by engineering segment) will support some

improvement here.

Consolidated Ebitda margin have seen a steady uptick over CY17-20

and we expect the trend to continue as overall volumes normalise

and company continues to derive gains from cost control, improving

efficiencies and operating leverage. Increasing share of revenue form

exports, large dia tubes, fine blanking would also support overall

margin trajectory for TI.

We estimate PAT cagr of 11% over FY20-23ii supported by 4%

revenue cagr and Ebitda margin improvements. Faster and stronger

recovery in auto as well as sharp ramp up in exports and railways

will provide upsides to our estimates.

Figure 56: Consol. PAT growth to recover in FY22-23ii (excluding CG Power)

We expect the RoCE to normalise by FY22-23ii, to levels similar to

those in FY20. There is an upside potential here, if recovery in

domestic auto is faster than estimated or if the company is able to

take advantage of the integration in global auto supply-chains at an

accelerated pace.

While RoE currently appears to be lower, it is largely due to higher

cash balance on positive FCF generation. This cash will get utilised

for funding of the CG power acquisition.

TI management has highlighted that funding for Rs8bn infusion in

CG Power would be done so as to minimise debt burden on TI.

Depending on the final funding pattern, the company’s balance sheet

will get levered up (not built in estimates currently), but healthy

cash generation from existing operations means that over the next

2-3 years, this debt can also be settled.

For CG Power, we assume that management expectation of Rs50bn

revenue and 10% PBT margin is achieved by FY25, instead of a

shorter time-frame. We ascribe 20x multiple to FY25 PAT (post

25.2% applicable tax-rate); then discount is back to two years, to

FY23, at 12% discount rate. The 20x multiple is at a discount to the

PE other capital-goods peers trade at primarily due to issues

surrounding contingent liabilities worth ~Rs9.47bn as well as other

potential issues relating to earlier promoters of CG Power. Excluding

the Rs8bn investment by TI, this translates into per-share value of

Rs144 for TI.

and 27 have REDUCE ratings

Price Target: Unless otherwise stated in the text of this report, target prices in this report are based on either a discounted cash flow valuation or comparison of valuation ratios with companies seen by the analyst as comparable or a combination of the two methods. The result of this

fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst’s views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there

is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive

pressures or in the level of demand for the company’s products. Such demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level

of economic activity or, in some cases, in fashion. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in certain

industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange

rates, exchange controls, taxation, and political and social conditions. This discussion of valuation methods and risk factors is not comprehensive –

further information is available upon request.
