Target set on
Rs. 430
M&M’s 3QFY09 performance was below our expectation. Reported net sales at Rs 25.2 bn were as expected down by 17%. EBIDTA margins dipped to 3.4% led by high raw material costs, and Foreign Exchange losses. Company’s automotive segment posted margins of 1%, which was much below our expectation. We expect the company to post much good Q4 numbers on back of reduced raw material prices, reduced inventory write downs, improved price realization and higher sales.

M&M reported a forex loss of Rs 1.4 bn on cancellation of forward contracts for exports due in 3QFY09.
In Q3 FY’09 entire industry came out with bad set of number as global economic gloom had its effect on Indian economy as well, which clocked only 5.3% growth in Q3. M&M reported a 23% Y-o-Y decline in volumes to 61225 units. Net sales however decreased by only 14% as price realization increased by 7%. Although volumes decreased by 23%,corresponding decrease in raw materials was only 9%, as prices of raw materials fell only in later half of Q3(Raw material form approximately 67% of sales for the company) . First two months of Q4 FY09 has shown much better performance against last year. January sales at 24,500 declined by 19% Y-o-Y as against 23% drop in Q3 FY’09. Drop in sales was witnessed across all segments. All companies have had a favorable month of February having registered impressive growth led by improved lending, lower interest rates and reduced excise rates. M&M registered sales volume of 29000 units, 10% growth over previous year. Maximum growth was registered in farm equipment sales as domestic tractor sales rose by 48% to 8900 units against 6000 units in corresponding period last year. Utility vehicles witnessed 17% growth rate on back of new product launch Xylo, finding favour with the audience. Three wheeler segment registered a growth of 45% at 3400 units. PV sales remain dismal and its sad that M&M is not taking part in the rise of Indian middle class. Lone passenger vehicle Logan sales fell by 63% at 1000 units versus 2750 units for same period last year. Exports fell from 1800 units (combined for automotive and Farm Equipment) to 540 units a drop of 70%.
Industry Performance Industry performed badly in Q3 FY’09 and January’09, registering a sharp drop in volume. However February has been a turn around of sorts as voumes raised both on M-oM and Yo-Y basis fist time in four months. Passenger vehicles sales witnessed a huge jump in February. CV sales continue to struggle giving signs that economy is still into troubled waters.
There are reports that the Indian defence forces is planning to place immediate orders to buy vehicles to meet their requirements for two years. According to the report, if the government approves the plan, the auto sector is expected to get Rs 3,000 crore to Rs 4,000 crore worth of orders that will be spread over the next two quarters. Mahindra and Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and state-owned BEML are the major vehicle suppliers for the three defence forces.

M&M - Buy
Company Description: M&M is the flagship company of Mahindra Group that has a significant presence in several high growth sectors. Standalone: The company has two main divisions – automotive and farm equipment.
M&M Finance
Automotive: M&M is a dominant player in the UV segment with its ‘Scorpio’ and ‘Bolero’ models – main constituents of sales in the automotive division and currently accounts for about half of India’s market for utility vehicles. M&M controls a 55% share of the domestic utility vehicle market. The auto major hopes to close this year with a 8-10% growth over the past year. M&M is also engaged in the manufacture of three-wheelers and light commercial vehicles (LCV’s). It is also present in domestic passenger vehicle market and manufactures Logan in association with Renault. Going forward the company will also distribute Renault cars manufactured in India. Farm Equipment Segment: With a network of 800 dealers and capacity to produce more than 150,000 tractors a years. M&M is the largest manufacturers of Tractors in India. And one of the largest player globally through plants and JV’s in US, Europe, Australia, etc. Group Companies: Mahindra Finance: One of India’s leading non-banking finance companies focused on the rural and semi-urban sectors providing finance for Utility Vehicles (UV’s), tractors and cars. The company provides retail financing services in the rural and semi-urban areas of India, and strategy is to provide a range of financial products and services to our customers through our nationwide distribution network. Services provided by the company include vehicle and other Retail Financing, Insurance and Mutual Fund selling, etc. We believe that the company has huge growth potential and should grow at 10% compounded CAGR considering its presence in relatively un-served rural markets, Tech Mahindra: Tech Mahindra (TM) is India's eighth largest software services exporter with an extensive domain knowledge in the telecommunications industry. The company was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and British Telecom Plc (BT).Conservative broker estimates value the company at 4x FY10E earnings. We have discounted Tech Mahindra by 30% from the broker estimates of Rs. 300 per share. Mahindra Lifespaces: Mahindra Lifespaces developer is a smaller player in real estate development segment. However it is one of the best managed companies and was the only player in the real estate segment to show increased revenues on Y-0-Y basis. It has low debt and is managing projects through internal accruals. We believe that the company has strong growth potentials and is trading at Rs. 125 which is huge discount to its broker consensus value of Rs 500 per share.

We have valued listed subsidiaries conservatively and have discounted their valuations by 15%. Each of these companies has set ambitious growth targets for themselves, which would be EPS accretive for the parent company. On individual broker consensus companies like Tech Mahindra, Mahindra Life and Mahindra Finance have been valued at double their current market price. We believe that one year forward valuations of listed and unlisted subsidiaries would be upwards of Rs. 250 on per share basis. Combined value of the company comes at Rs. 430 per share. Rs. 281 for core operations and 149 for other listed and unlisted subsidiaries. Valuations are also supported by strong management and new initiatives of the company.

Key Risks: Lower growth for Indian Economy could stiffle the Automobile industry, even 10% drop in Sales will lead to sharp drop in Margins, which will lead to downward revsion for the stock. More than expected Derivative losses and inventory write downs in Q4 are key risk areas. More disclosures are required from the company on the same. M&M drives almost all its sale from two segments UV’s and Tractors. High concentration and strong dependence on two segments is a key risk area for the company. M&M has already started witnessing cannibalization between its recently launched model Xylo and Scorpio. Company has reported 25% cannibalization since the launch of Xylo in February. Automotive segment already registered negative margins with the reduction in price of Scorpio in March (between 35000 and 70000) margins will continue to be under pressure in the Automotive segment.
M&M share has underperformed Nifty over one year period. Being a diversified group with a good management and conservative approach, we believe the stock has been oversold by the investors. Stock has witnessed a sharp pull back rally over last 45 days outperforming the benchmark index by 30%. We expect the stock to continue this rally and achieve a target of Rs. 430 within next 3 months.
Stock Price movement versus Nifty.

Investment Rational We rate M&M shares Buy, with a target price of Rs430. . Lowered excise duty, lowering of interest rates and defense segment orders are likely to be key triggers for the entire automotive pack. M&M's utility-vehicle business is benefiting from new product launches and strong product positioning for both Bolero and Scorpio brands. On the tractor business we remain positive as the business has been high margin business for the company and we expect strong growth on back of loan waivers by the UPA government, however curtailment of further credit by banks which are witnessing rising NPA’s will put some pressure on sector. Long term fundamentals remain solid. Improvement in capital markets will help company in unlocking value by delisting is Holiday and Resort business. Management will continue to make more efforts to leverage high dollar by focusing on exports in select markets. We believe maximum growth to come from Non-Core businesses of the company particularly Real Estate Division, IT-Telecom services arm(Tech Mahindra) and in M&M Financial Services which will provide downside support for the share.
TECHNICAL OUTLOOK M&M
M & M has given a fresh breakout above 310-320 levels .The stock is in a strong medium term uptrend & one could go long in the scrip at dips around 320 & then 290 for a price target of Rs.430.
