Topline for the European business at €63 million, however, was lower by ~7% • India business topline at | 94 crore was flat YoY while the EBITDA margin improved to 13.9% (11.1% in Q1FY14) • The management has indicated that the amalgamation process for all the companies is likely to conclude in the next five or six weeks Strong Tier-1.5 supplier to global OEMs…The TILA factor! MCI is a strong tier-1.5 supplier to global OEMs, i.e. a supplier of critical components to OEMs. With global car makers moving towards homologation with modular architecture, global platforms and standards, automotive suppliers need to meet the increasing intensiveness. We believe MCI’s greatest advantage is in its significant geographic spread that has the “there is little alternative” (TILA) factor associated with it. With a presence ranging across Europe, Latin America (LatAm), North America Free trade Agreement (Nafta) region and Asia, the alliance produces a company with limited competition in terms of presence. CIE’s turnaround path key; demand growth the joker in the pack! CIE’s management has laid out clear plans for the turnaround of hot spots in MCI. The first one targeted is Mahindra Forgings Europe (MFE), for which CIE had targeted a 600 bps EBITDA margin increase on an overall basis in 36 months. The results of CIE’s efforts are already bearing fruit with margins reaching 7% this quarter. CIE’s intense cost focus and decentralised management, bodes well for the sustenance of this turnaround. An added kicker may emerge in the form of demand/economic recovery in both Europe & India, which may enhance the earnings lever even further. Past rendered irrelevant as bright future beckons! CIE focus strong… We feel MCI provides a rare, unique Indian auto component play, which has a global footprint with global promoters along with massive turnaround possibilities in the company. Post the consummation of the deal, CIE would hold 51% in the entity while Mahindra would directly hold ~20%. MCI has a presence across both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles with complementary strengths of dual parents. With cost controls and economic recovery playing out, we expect utilisation levels to improve leading to EBIT margins rise to ~8% and RoCE expansion to ~14.5% in FY17E. CIE’s track record on turnarounds via cost control and high focus on financial metrics gives us confidence. Possible multiplier in financials to reflect in price, multiples; reiterate BUY Mahindra CIE Auto is a unique case of valuation considering the massive turnaround possibilities. We expect utilisation levels to improve leading to EBIT margins rising to 9.0% and RoCE expansion to ~15.9% in FY17E. We expect a significant increase in dividend payouts to ~40% in line with CIE’s philosophy of high dividend payouts (~40-50%). CFOs are also likely to balloon to ~| 700-800 crore (FY16E-17E). We value MCI on a combinational basis of PE and EV/EBITDA, considering it is a turnaround company and upgrade our multiples in line with multiple expansion for peers in the forging space. Our target price of | 260 implies an upside of ~37%. We continue to recommend BUY.

The management has said there would be a reduction in personnel costs as more processes are automated. Currently, personnel costs are ~30% of net sales, which is significantly higher than CIE’s other manufacturing facilities The management has indicated that the amalgamation process for all companies is likely to conclude in the next five or six weeks with the date for the next hearing on October 31, 2014 The European business is likely to improve, going ahead, as the economic situation improves in Europe and in Brazil, China and Russia, which are Europe’s major trading partners in terms of CV imports The management has also communicated that lower margin products have seen re-negotiations to improve overall margins The management also reiterated its stance of integrating CIE’s other forging facilities in Brazil, China and Mexico on attainment of certain pre-fixed financial metrics are met by MCI Page 3 Company Analysis MFE remains the hotspot in the consolidated MCI entity registering an EBITDA loss of ~| 3 crore (€-0.4 million) for FY13. One of the major challenges in the operating performance is the significantly high employee costs. Our analysis has highlighted the fact that cultural differences between the German entity and erstwhile promoters M&M had led to a lack of reduction in these costs even as sales witnessed declines since FY09, thus causing sharp declines in EBITDA. In comparison, CIE’s management, considering its European expertise, has laid out a clear path towards the reduction of the same. The first signs of the same are visible. CIE is looking to review the performance of the top level management as part of the employee cost reduction process. The company is looking to reduce its temporary workforce, which is at >200 employees for a total employee base of 1300 employees. This could possibly lead to minimum cost savings of €8-10 million (~| 60-80 crore). In the first phase of turnaround since H2FY14 the focus has been on process improvements and efficiencies in terms of production facilities. This has yielded immediate results as margins have improved to ~7% in Q2FY15. In terms of example, the Schöneweiss facility 12,800 T press has witnessed nearly ~30% increase in productivity (21k parts/month run rate in Q4FY14) Thus, on the EBITDA front, we expect MFE to witness an EBITDA improvement to ~| 250 crore by FY17E with EBITDA margins of ~10.1% during the same.

The revenue growth possibilities on favourable macros in Europe and India remain key upside risks. However, we have factored in moderate revenue growth of ~6% CAGR (FY13-17E) in the European business while for India we are building in a marginal recovery vis-à-vis industry consensus at ~10% CAGR (FY13-17E). On an overall basis, we expect the machining and export mix to improve ~500 bps from ~20%, 5%, respectively. The strongest revenue segmental drivers would continue to remain the forgings entity ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 4 (~8% CAGR in FY13E-17E) followed by gears, castings, stampings business (8%, 13%, 9% CAGR in FY13E-17E, respectively). On an overall basis, we expect revenue growth to be 4.7%, 7.6% and 8.9% for FY15E, FY16E and FY17E, respectively.

Looking at the history of CIE’s acquisitions it is evident that CIE’s management has a very strong focus on all kinds of costs ranging from contribution of products to corporate overheads. Corporate overheads stand at less than 1% of sales. CIE focuses on the decentralised management of various plants, which are independently given targets of RoCEs and EBIT margins. We believe the overall group turnaround may face some outlier roadblocks due to which we expect the management’s target of ~12% EBITDA margin to be achieved in FY17E. We, however, expect progression of margins to be smooth on the way (10.5% in FY15E, 12.2% in FY16E and 13.4% in FY17E).

CIE’s philosophy of decentralised operations not only minimises corporate overhead but also makes the plant manager responsible for all operational/financial decisions. This ensures high accountability and tight ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 5 control on costs as well as better working capital management. CIE’s CFO/EBITDA stands at ~90%. Currently, MCI’s CFO/EBITDA stands at 85%. We expect a further improvement in the working capital cycle, which is likely to further boost operating cash flows.

The operating and financial revival of hotspots like MFE can have a significant impact on the profitability of the overall business. We expect this to happen, albeit at a pace slower than being targeted by CIE’s management. We expect profits after MI (PE stake in Metalcastello) to gallop to ~| 448 crore in FY17E with PAT margins improving ~570 bps from FY14E-17E to 6.4%. The path to this improvement could see FY15E, FY16E witnessing PAT margins of 3.4%, 5.2%, respectively. We expect PAT to rise at ~147% CAGR in FY14E-17E and ~50% CAGR in FY15E17E.

The reason we feel this is a major concern stems from the fact that M&M even after acquiring MFE could not successfully reduce costs in Germany. Cultural roadblocks were one of the reasons for the same, which we believe would not be a major issue with CIE’s European nature. • Sharp declines in revenues in Europe, India delay turnaround The European and Indian automotive market has been weak to say the least in the last couple of years. Though we have seen some good pre-buying effect for the CV segment in Europe on account of emission norms change the consistency of the same is a risk. In India, the automotive space for the last two years has seen moderate growth due to high fuel prices and interest rates along with weak economic growth. If the macro scenario worsens then that can cause a delay in turnaround as revenue stability is essential. • Retrenchment of top management in India Though we have highlighted and lauded CIE’s management philosophy of de-centralising power and reducing corporate overheads we feel India, as a country, is unique. Considering CIE’s nascent knowledge there should not arise any situation of top management removal or discontent as the domestic understanding of the M&M management is second to none. Outlook and valuation Mahindra CIE Auto is a unique case of valuation considering the massive turnaround possibilities in the company and we are factoring in the same. We expect the turnaround to be significant, as according to our estimates there will be non-linear profit growth at ~145% CAGR in FY14E-17E. MCI would find a way to increase efficient and profitable utilisation with low capex over the next two or three years. CFOs are expected to balloon to ~| 800 crore (FY16E-17E). We expect a significant increase in dividend payouts to ~40% in line with CIE’s philosophy of high dividend payouts (~40-50%). We feel MCI provides a rare, unique Indian auto component play, which has a global footprint with global promoters. We expect strong business prospects to fructify into a turnaround (PAT:-FY13 loss of ~| 92 crore to FY17E profit of ~| 450 crore), which would lead to a debt reduction of ~| 650-700 crore till FY17E (FY17E-debt/EBITDA: 1.2x, debt/equity: 0.4x FY13- debt/EBITDA: 5.1x, debt/equity: 1.0). We forecast ~7% and ~145% CAGR in revenues and earnings, respectively, over FY14E-17E and value the stock on a combination of PE and EV/EBITDA multiples to arrive at a target price of | 260. We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock with an upside potential of 37%. We have valued MCI as highlighted earlier on a combinational basis of PE and EV/EBITDA, considering it is a turnaround company. Also, we want to be more prudent on possibly valuation methodology anomalies. Currently, the stock is trading at ~14x PE FY17E, at a discount to domestic peers with global scale like Bharat Forge and Motherson Sumi possibly on account of uncertainty of the financial turnaround and actual numbers post merger. The parent company CIE Automotive SPA, Autometal BZ also trades at much higher valuations considering the ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 7 strong financial metrics. We believe the same would pan out for MCI in the longer term as the market starts to factor in the pace of the turnaround. The only peer with a similar business profile is Bharat Forge, which is much more stable and mature in terms of financial profile. Though we have seen even ~40x kind of current multiples for the same during early 2000s when it was attaining scale and profitability, we have been conservative in ascribing such turnaround multiples to MCI. However, we completely believe the fact that as performance flows through in the coming quarters we can see a strong re-rating in the stock post completion of the merger.
