Ceat posted sluggish results for 2QFY2013 primarily due to contraction in operating margins on a sequential basis led by increase in employee (wage hikes and bonus payouts) and other expenditure (higher advertising spends). During the quarter, Ceat registered an exceptional expense of `14cr to account for the change in policy of recognizing provision for warranty from actual claim basis to expected cost basis. Further, the company also announced a VRS scheme for the employees at the Bhandup plant and expects to incur a charge of `15cr related to it in 3QFY2013. We retain our positive view on Ceat and believe that the company will continue to report a strong performance led by gradual ramp-up at the Halol plant and stable raw-material prices. However a slowdown in demand remains a concern as the replacement demand has not picked up as anticipated. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock. Margins contract on a sequential basis: For 2QFY2013, Ceat reported a modest growth of 6% yoy (down 1.2% qoq) in net sales to `1,173cr primarily due to flat growth in volumes at 51,000MT. The volume performance was impacted on account of a slowdown in replacement as well as export markets, which account for ~80% of revenues. The net average realization, however, improved 4.8% yoy (flat qoq) due to superior product-mix. On a sequential basis, the EBITDA margin declined by 210bp to 6.7% mainly due to 110bp qoq increase in other expenditure (led by higher ad spends and higher power costs) and 80bp increase in employee expenses (wage hikes and bonus for full year). On a yoy basis, margins improved by only 107bp as benefits of lower raw-material cost (down 380bp as a percentage of sales) were negated by a 220bp increase in other expenses as a percentage of sales. The adjusted net profit for the quarter stood at `17cr as against `26cr in 1QFY2013. Outlook and valuation: At `110, the stock is trading at an attractive valuation of 2.7x FY2014E earnings. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `163, valuing the stock at 4x FY2014E earnings.

Modest top-line growth of 6% yoy due to flat volumes: For 2QFY2013, standalone net sales registered a modest growth of 6% yoy (down 1.2% qoq) to `1,173cr driven largely by increase in net average realization (up 4.8% yoy). The growth in the net average realization was led by a superior product-mix with higher share of radial tyres in total volumes. The total volumes in tonnage terms though posted a flat growth at 51,000MT led by weak demand in the replacement segment. Export revenue too registered a decline of 3.7% yoy to `260cr due to weakness in Latin America and European markets. While replacement sales accounted for 54% (61% in 1QFY2013) of total volumes during the quarter; OEM and exports accounted for 24% (19% in 1QFY2013) and 22% (20% in 1QYFY2013) respectively. During 2QFY2013, the capacity at the Halol plant remained at 1QFY2013 levels of 90TPD as the company is skeptical about increasing the supply amidst a slowdown in demand. However, Ceat plans to ramp-up the capacity to 150TPD at Halol by the end of 4QFY2013. The Halol plant contributed 15% of total volumes during the quarter (flat qoq).

Operating margins decline sequentially to 6.7%: On the operating front, the EBITDA margin declined 210bp sequentially to 6.7% mainly due to 110bp qoq increase in other expenditure (led by higher ad spends and higher power coss) and 80bp increase in employee expenses (wage hikes and bonus for full year). Hence the operating profit declined 25.5% qoq to `78cr. On a yoy basis though, margins improved by only 107bp as benefits of lower raw-material cost (down 380bp as a percentage fo sales) were negated by a 220bp increase in other expenses as a percentage of sales.

Adjusted net profit at `17cr: During the quarter, Ceat recorded an exceptional expense of `14cr due to change in policy of recognizing provision for warranty from actual claim basis to expected cost based on past trends. Adjusted for the same, net profit witnessed a decline of 34.8% qoq to `17cr mainly due to margin contraction at the operating level. On a yoy basis though, net profit surged (to `17cr as against `6cr in 2QFY2012).

Conference call Key highlights


Ceat plans to incur a capital expenditure (capex) of `250cr in setting up a new 65TPD cross-ply facility in Bangladesh which is expected to commence production from 1QFY2015. Around `40-`50cr of the planned capex towards the new plant will be incurred in FY2013E and the remaining will be incurred in FY2014E. The company is currently in the due diligence process of finalizing the land. The company intends to incur maintenance capex of `50cr in FY2013E. The management is targeting to increase its presence in the higher margin two-wheeler tyres where there is less competition. The company has managed to increase its market share in the two-wheeler tyre segment to ~18% from ~14% in 1QFY2013. Around 30% of the raw-material requirement of the company is currently imported. The company reported a 14% yoy growth (14% qoq) to `106cr in its Sri Lanka operations with EBITDA margins at 17.5%. The net profit surged 95% yoy (66% qoq) to `12cr. The total volumes sold during the quarter stood at ~4,250MT. Ceat enjoys ~50% market share in the replacement segment in Sri Lanka. The current capacity stands at 60TPD and is operating at 100% utilization levels. The company has announced a VRS scheme for employees at the Bhandup plant. The management believes that out of the 1,800 employees at the plant, around 180-200 are likely to opt for VRS. The impact of the same could be around `15cr which would be reflected in 3QFY2013 results. The management stated that the consolidated debt has been reduced by `60cr to `1,350cr due to working capital efficiency which has resulted in flat interest expense during the quarter.

Investment arguments
Tyre industry Set for a structural shift: Currently, manufacturing radial tyres is far more capital intensive than cross-plys. The investment per tpd for radial tyres is 3.2x of cross-ply at `6.1cr/tpd. On the other hand, the selling price of radial tyres is around 20% higher than cross-ply tyres. Taking into account the difference in capital requirements and the consequent impact on asset turnover, interest cost and depreciation to generate a similar RoCE and RoE, tyre companies would need to earn EBITDA margins of around 21% compared to around 9% being earned on cross-ply tyres. Thus, higher capital requirements will help protect margins from upward-bound input costs, as the business model evolves bearing in mind the final RoE rather than margins. With the sector set for a structural shift and apparent pricing flexibility, it will result in an improvement in RoCE and RoE of tyre manufacturers going forward. Volume growth to benefit from capacity expansion: Ceat is ramping up its radial capacity at the Halol plant to 150TPD, which is likely to be fully operational by 4QFY2013. With the completion of the proposed expansion, the product mix of truck: non-truck is likely to improve to 55:45 resulting in a better product mix, thereby fetching better margins. Increasing focus on exports: Ceat has been increasingly focusing on exports, especially the high-margin specialty tyres, in a bid to offset volatility in its domestic tyre business in the long run.

Outlook and valuation


We retain our positive view on Ceat and believe that the company will continue to report a strong performance led by gradual ramp-up at the Halol plant and stable raw-material prices. However a slowdown in demand remains a concern as the replacement demand has not picked up as anticipated. Consequently, we estimate Ceat to post an EPS of `40.8 in FY2014E. At `110, the stock is trading at an attractive valuation of 2.7x FY2014E earnings. We retain our Buy rating on the stock with a price target of `163, valuing the stock at 4x FY2014E earnings. Key downside risks to our call: Any rise in input costs, increasing competitive intensity with major players diversifying globally and lower-than-anticipated growth in replacement tyre demand pose downside risks to our estimates.
