Gabriel is one of the largest shock absorber manufacturer in India and is the only company catering to all
automotive segments; 60% of revenue from 2&3 wheelers and 30% and 10% from PVs and CVs respectively.
Expect the company to outperform the industry in the next two years driven by higher exposure to OEMs with
high growth potential viz. HMSI, TVS, Yamaha, Royal Enfield and Suzuki in the two wheeler segment, increased
share of premium shocks in CV segment and broader product portfolio in the replacement segment. Expect
revenue and PAT CAGR of 18% and 35% respectively (FY14-FY17). The stock is currently trading at 11x Sep16
EPS estimate. Hence we believe there is a significant upside potential given the strong revenue and PAT drivers

Outperformance driven by HMSI and Scooter segment: Gabriel has 25% market share and supplies almost 40% of
HMSIs requirement and also has high exposure to Royal Enfield, Yamaha and TVS. Expect these companies to record
steeper growth rates given the low base (FY14 growth 21% vs. 3% for Hero; Munjal Showa supplies exclusively to Hero
Motocorp). Gabriel also has higher exposure to the scooter segment and we expect the share of scooters in the twowheeler segment to improve further. Expect two-wheeler revenue for Gabriel to record a CAGR of ~20% in FY14-17.

CV revival and sharper growth in HCVs: During the first half of FY15, growth in total supply tonnage was significantly
higher than the growth in the number of CVs, indicating a steeper recovery in >25MT segment. Historical analysis
suggests that although CVs account for a smaller pie of the Gabriels revenue, low utilizations hurt revenue growth and
margins. Gabriel enjoys an 80% market share in domestic CV supplies and a steep growth in CVs (more so in HCVs) is
expected to benefit Gabriel significantly. Moreover, media reports suggest that Gabriel is expected to soon enter into a
technology tie up with Koni group to increase supplies to HCVs. Expect CV segment revenue CAGR of 19% from FY14-17

brand and plans to expand the range in the next two years. In exports, Gabriel has recently entered the aftermarket Stock performance (%)
segment for shock absorbers in LATAM and Africa. And is also focused on securing OEM orders for supply to CVs in

CVs to drive operating leverage: Gabriels EBITDA margin declined from 9.6% in FY11 to 7% in FY14 primarily driven
by steep drop in utilization (~50%) utilization of its dedicated plant catering to the CVs in Madhya Pradesh. We expect a Sensex
steep revival in CVs in FY16 & FY17 and hence aid in driving Gabriels margin from 7% in FY14 to 8.8% in FY17. We note BSE Auto
here EBITDA margin was at 9.6% in FY11 and last three years margin decline has mirrored decline in CV volumes.
