Opportunity Boost

CMP: 198
Setco Automotive Ltd. (SAL) primarily manufactures clutches for commercial vehicles (CV) with 85%
market share in the MHCV segment. The companys topline stands at INR 360 cr (20% 5-year CAGR)
and boasts of 25% average ROCE. Management is targeting INR 1000 cr sales in FY18 (2.5x FY14
sales) led by 1) entry into new segments (LCV, Tractors) 2) penetrating export markets 3) capturing
unorganized market through independent sales channel and 4) change in emission norms. The
company has initiated a capex of INR 240 cr for the backward integration of castings and diaphragm
springs in order to substitute imports. In our view, this is beneficial for SAL, as it will develop a
reliable supply base with high-quality casting capabilities going forward. Moreover, entering into
the LCV/Tractor clutch market will increase its opportunity size by 2.5x.

Entering new segment increases opportunity size by 2.5x


SAL management is targeting INR 1000 cr sales in FY18 (2.5x FY14 sales) led by 1) entry into new
segments (LCV & Tractors) 2) increasing presence in key export markets 3) capturing unorganized
market through an independent sales channel and 4) change in emission norms. The company has
developed clutch plates and covers for LCV segment and is developing the same for the Tractor
segment (OEMs have approached SAL). We believe that Tractor and LCV clutch market will give an
opportunity of about INR 1000 cr. The company is expected to start supply of Tractor clutches from
FY16E. Management is targeting INR 200 cr revenue from new LCV and Tractor segment by FY18.
EBITDA margins at cyclical lows, to rise going forward; MHCV bottomed out
Historically, SAL has grown at 20% CAGR despite being a supplier to the highly cyclical MHCV (OEM)
segment, as more than 50% of its sales come from the more profitable aftermarket segment. Given
that LCV & Tractor clutches priced at 1/3 of MHCV clutches, EBITDA margins and ROCE are expected
to reduce going forward. However, we believe that increasing the mix of high-margin exports and
independent after-market foray will lead to 16-17% EBITDA margins on a stable state basis. Also, the
company will be targeting LCV after-market aggressively through its own independent distribution
network, which is a high-margin segment compared to existing sales channel.
SAL dominates MHCV clutch market with 85% market share in OEM segment
SAL manufactures clutches for the MHCV segment and has accordingly secured a market share of
85%. SAL supplies 100% of clutch requirements for Tata Motors, Volvo and Daimler in India and ~70%
of Ashok Leylands requirement. The company will remain a dominant player in the domestic MHCV
clutch market given the lead time to develop clutches (~4-5 years) and advantage from long-standing
relationships with OEMs (due to quality, cost, timely supplies etc).
Valuations
We believe that EPS of the company is lower due to cyclically low EBITDA margins (11% Vs 19% peak),
which will revive from here onwards. Incremental growth will come from new segments (LCVs &
Tractors), venturing into after through independent channel, revival in the domestic MHCV cycle and
EBITDA margins inching up to stable state.

Entering new segments to boost opportunity by 2.5x
SAL is looking at new avenues to expand its sales besides improving margins by entering relatively lesscyclical. The companys management is targeting INR 1000 cr sales in FY18 (2.5x FY14 sales) led by 1) entry
into new segments (LCV, Tractors) 2) penetrating into export markets 3) capturing unorganized market
through independent sales channel and 4) change in emission norms. The company has developed clutch
plates and covers for the LCV segment and is developing the same for the tractor segment (OEMs have
approached SAL for the same). We believe that the Tractor and LCV clutch market opportunity is about INR
1000 cr. The company is expected to start tractor clutch supplies by FY16E. Management is targeting INR
200 cr revenue from new LCV and Tractor segment by FY18.

SAL was present in the INR 450 cr after-market segment through the OES route (eg Tata Motors authorized
dealer) and has most recently entered the independent after-market segment, which is largely serviced by
the unorganized players. Typically, a MHCV clutch in the warranty/free service period is replaced with
authorized dealer (OES), however after first two replacements, fleet operators tend to go to local
mechanics, which is dominated by the unorganized players (50% of after-market). The unorganized sector is
shrinking due to growing awareness about the advantages of genuine parts and lower downtime of trucks,
which is leading to a shift to organized players like SAL. Approximately 90% of OEM fitments come with the
companys clutch (Brand: Lipe), leading to strong after-market demand. Since the launch of an
independent sales network (47 touch points) in H2FY14, the company clocked sales of INR 20 cr per quarter
from this network, which signifies a strong brand pull for Lipe. We believe this traction will continue and
the company will be able to capture a larger pie from the unorganized after-market segment.

The companys exports have doubled in the last two years on a low base and we believe that exports growth
momentum will continue going forward. Management is targeting exports of INR 150 cr by FY18. The
company is exclusive supplier to Volvo and Daimler clutch requirements in india and is in talks with global
players for their global operations. We believe that SAL could get more global OEM business going forward
due to UK R&D hub, global after-market sales set-up and credibilty from supplying to Daimler/Volvo in India.

Change in emission norms (expected to kick in from FY17) provides an additional opportunity to SAL in
terms of higher realizations. Historically, emission norms have increased clutch realisations by ~25% while
margins have remained static, implying higher EBITDA per clutch. With BSIV implementation set for all-India
rollout in FY17, we believe the companys clutch realizations for OEM supplies will increase by 25-30%.

Currently, margins are at historic lows of 10.5% Vs average margins of 16%. We believe that the companys
margins are set to come back to ~16% levels in view of the impending revival in domestic MHCV cycle

Backward integration to ensure reliable low-cost supply: Capex of INR 240 cr over 3 years
Lava Cast will be the companys subsidiary with 80% stake held by SEL while the remaining shareholding will
be held by the joint venture (JV) partner Lingotes Especiales, Spain (which will also provide technology
know-how for high-quality casting). The company is planning to set up casting facility near the existing plant
at Kalol with capex of INR 160 cr (debt: INR 110 cr) over three years. As per our interaction with
management, high-quality casting command higher margins and are in short supply in India. Out of the total
initial capacity of 25000 MT, ~50% will be used for SALs own requirement (to fulfill 100% casting needs) and
the balance will be utilized for exports. The company is also incurring capex of INR 70 cr for indigenous
manufacturing of diaphragm spring, which are currently imported. The local manufacturing of these
products will usher in reliable supply in India at a lower cost.

SAL dominates MHCV clutch market with 85% market share in OEM segment
SAL manufactures clutches for the MHCV segment and has secured a market share of 85% in the domestic
market. Globally, there are six clutch manufacturers (most of who have been present in India), focusing on
Cars, LCV and Tractors. Our understanding suggests that global players did try to enter into the Indian MHCV
clutch space but were not able to offer products at a competitive price. SAL supplies 100% of clutch
requirements at Tata Motors, Volvo and Daimler in India and ~70% of Ashok Leylands requirements. The
company will remain a dominant player in the domestic MHCV clutch market owing to higher lead time to
develop clutch (~4-5 years) and its long-standing relationships with OEMs (due to quality, cost & timely
supplies factors). SAL had acquired technology from Dana Corp (R&D hub in UK and India) and has been
customizing clutch products as per the Indian markets requirements at a relatively lower price Vs other
MNC players. The company has had no labour strikes in the last 20 years. It is currently operating on two
shifts which can be ramped up to three shifts to cater to incremental demand. Additionally, the company
can add capacity with low capex, as it has sufficient land and adequate press shop capacity. SAL is also
planning to manufacture clutch related actuation systems, which will enable it to provide the high-value
clutch assembly/module. In our view, this augurs well for the companys pricing power with its customers
going forward.
