WEEKENDER REPORT Macro / political commentary The U.S. economy expanded higher than previously reported last quarter on major contributions

from a range of factors including services spending, intellectual property and construction by state

and local governments. Gross domestic product rose at a 3.5% annualized rate in the three months

ended in September, compared with a prior estimate of 3.2%, Commerce Department figures

showed Thursday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for a 3.3% gain. The revised

growth estimate, still the fastest in two years, reflected updated figures on research and

development expenses from companies, spending by non-profit institutions and use of financial

services. The economy is unlikely to sustain such a pace in the final three months of the year,

instead probably growing at a 2.2%, according to the median projection of analysts surveyed by

Bloomberg earlier this month.

Britain’s economy expanded faster than previously thought in the three months after the EU

referendum, underlining the miscalculations by the Treasury and other forecasters who predicted

that the UK would suffer a recession following a vote for Brexit. Official figures showed GDP growth

in the third quarter rose by 0.6%, compared with initial estimates of 0.5%. The unexpected upgrade

to GDP came as the Office for National Statistics made surprise revisions across all sectors of the

economy. The services, industrial and construction sectors – which accounts for about 80% of

economic activity – and the industrial and construction sectors were all revised upwards. The

services sector – which accounts for about 80% of economic activity was the main driver of growth,

led by transport and communications including online retail deliveries which expanded by 2.6%.

The finance sector grew by 0.8% quarter on quarter. But the first two quarters of the year were

revised down by one percentage point each. This left the annual growth rate at 2.2%, which was

lower than the earlier estimate of 2.3%.

The Bank of Japan’s December monetary policy was left unchanged by a majority vote of seven to

two. The bank pledged to purchase Japanese government bonds (JGBs) at an annual pace of around

80 trillion yen in order to maintain a 10-year JGB yield of around 0%. Interest rates were also left

unchanged at -0.1%. As it did in its previous meeting, the BOJ said that it will maintain this policy as

long as it is necessary to achieve and maintain the bank’s 2% price stability target in a stable

manner. It also said that it would continue to expand the nation’s monetary base at its current pace

of around 80 trillion yen per annum until it core consumer price inflation exceeds 2% and stay there

in a stable manner. While it made no change to policy settings, it did upgrade its assessment of the

economy, noting that a “moderate recovery trend had continued while exports picked up. It

expects the moderate recovery to turn into a modest expansion in the period ahead, saying that

domestic demand was likely to follow an uptrend with a virtuous cycle from income to spending

being maintained in both the corporate and household sectors. On exports, it said that they were

expected to follow a moderate increasing trend on the back of an improvement in overseas

economies.

metal in the corresponding period of 2015-16 stood at USD 22.64 billion. Softening prices of the

precious metal globally as well as locally are seen to be at work. However, gold imports grew for

the second straight month in November by rising 23.24% to USD 4.36 billion, according to the

commerce ministry data. The increase in gold imports pushed the trade deficit to about two-year

high of USD 13 billion in November from USD 10.33 billion in the same month last year. India is one

of the largest gold importers in the world and the imports mainly take care of demand from the

jewellery industry. For the full year of 2015-16, CAD stood at USD 22.1 billion (1.1% of GDP) as

against USD 26.8 billion (1.3% of GDP) in 2014-15. In volume terms, the country's total official gold

imports declined to 60 tonnes in April-July of this fiscal, much lower than 250 tonnes in the year-

ago period. India imported 650 tonnes of gold in 2015-16. The imports remained stable at around

100 tonnes in November despite fall in sales of jewellery due to the cash crunch following

demonetisation.

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation’s apex decision making body, the Central Board of

Trustees (CBT), has taken a decision to lower the interest rate to 8.65% for the current fiscal from

8.8% in 2015—16. As per the EPFO income projections, retaining 8.8% rate of interest for the

current fiscal would have left a deficit of Rs. 383 crore. However, the body could have utilised

about Rs. 409 crore surpluses with it, which accrued after providing 8.8% rate of interest for 2015-

16, to retain the same rate of return for the current fiscal.

Equity market performance

Weekender Stock Idea

Castrol India Ltd. (Rating:Buy; Price: Rs.367; Revised Target: Rs.451;Upside: 23%)

Shareholding Stock performance Key data

Background Castrol (MKT. cap Rs.18,150 crs) is a part of the BP Group. It is present in India for over 100 years & caters to the auto and non-auto lubricants & engine oil requirements of its customers. Nine Month CY2016 - Performance Analysis (Crore)

During 9MCY2016, Castrol’s sales increased by 3.2% to Rs. 2,588 crore as compared of Rs. 2,507 crore in 9MCY2015, sales revenue was driven by healthy volume growth in personal mobility segment. Net profit increased by 9.5% to Rs. 519 crore during the period as compared of Rs. 474 crore in the same period of the previous year while EPS increased to Rs. 10.5 from Rs. 9.6. Launch of New Products – Eco Friendly Castrol is known for the innovation in lubricants industry while delivering the best technology products to the customers. During 1HCY16, Castrol added two brands named Castrol GTX Ultraclean and Castrol GTX ECO. Castrol GTX Ultraclean is the cleanest GTX ever launched and helps keep car engines 50% cleaner than industry limits while GTX ECO is Castrol's pioneering first step in eco engineered lubricant technology which may reduce CO2 by 10%. In the industrial segment, it launched a high performance fluid Alusol SL 35 XBB. It delivers significant improvement for controlling manufacturing costs and increasing productivity which would benefit Castrol to increase profits and margins over the next few years. Volume Growth during the period Castrol witnessed volume growth across the major segments after a negative CAGR in the past four years while personal mobility segment was key segment which registered robust growth during 9MCY2016 and expected to register double digit growth in CY2017. Revision of stock Price We valued Castrol India on 2nd July 2016 with potential upside of 23% to Rs. 480, We have achieved our target while stock touch a high of Rs 495 however we revised our target on 26th September 2016 to Rs. 540 but now Crude oil prices has bottomed out and ranging in USD 50 to 56 per barrel

thus higher crude oil prices may have a slight impact on bottom line hence we revise the stock price with potential upside of 24% to Rs. 451 from current level. Investment Argument

Leadership position Castrol is the market leader in the auto lubricant segment. It has a market share of 21% in the retail automotive sector. In the sub-segments, Castrol enjoys market share of 20% in CV, 30% in personal mobility (passenger cars & 2Ws) and 20% in industrial segment. Personal Mobility a strong performance Personal mobility segment has grown rapidly in the last decade, from a paltry 10% share 10 years ago to 40% share today. According to the management, segment is expected to register double digit volume growth for next few years. The demand will arise from new vehicles and also replacement demand. Chart 1: Volume mix Chart 2: Market Share

Pricing power due to strong product proposition Personal mobility is the B2C segment unlike industrial segment which is B2B. Here the company enjoys better pricing power and also the branding of its products is possible. Due to the quadrupling of the personal mobility volume in its volume mix, Castrol has been successful in taking price hikes. Chart 3: Sales and cost per litre Chart 4: Crude oil Price and INR stability

Strong Brand Position and Wide Distribution network

Page 9 / 12

Castrol’s strong brand name and wide distribution network allows it to command higher pricing power and premium for its brands over its competitors in spite significant fall down in crude oil price. Castrol, which is the price maker in the Indian automotive lubricant market, is expected to maintain stable realisation over the next few years. Improving margin profile Along with the product mix change and the improving pricing power the company has managed to improve its margin profile. Plus, the fact that the crude price has corrected sharply in last 1-2 years, has given an additional fillip to the margin of the company. Chart 5: EBITDA margin

Revival in Metals & Mining and Infrastructure will help volume growth The industrial lubricant segment comprises of sectors such as automotive, metals & mining road construction, non‐road transportation, manufacturing power, chemicals etc. Strengthening of the industrial recovery from campaigns like “Make in India” and “Smart Cities” could result in improved lube demand. However, mining and metals is on revival due to increase in commodities price for past three to four months which will help to increase the demand of industrial lube. Stable financial Position and Dividend pay-out ratio Castrol India has a robust profitability profile with RoE / RoCE in excess of 100% / 170%. The business model is neither very capex heavy nor involves significant amount of working capital. The cash generation is very strong which enables the company to payout 70-80% of its earnings as dividends. Chart 6: Robust trend in ROE and ROCE Chart 6: Stable Dividend Pay-out Ratio

Implementation of GST - lower price and higher volume Currently, lubricants industry is levied of excise duty by ~14% and a VAT rate by 14‐ 15%. We expect GST implementation will help to lower the effective tax rate, hence we can expect a decline in price which will help to increase the sales volume of Castrol. Valuation & view At current price of Rs. 367 Castrol India Ltd. is trading at 26x CY17e earnings. We recommend buying Castrol India Ltd. with a target price of Rs. 451 implying an upside potential of 23% from the current price. The growth in stock price is expected to be driven by strong financial position with no debt status, generation of EPS and free cash flow on account of new launches products and keeping consistency in dividend pay-out ratio.
