                Investment Arguments

                    Tyre industry - Set for structural shift: Currently, manufacturing radial tyres is
                    far more capital intensive than cross-plys. Investment per tonnes per day (tpd)
                    is 3.2x of cross-ply at Rs6.1cr/tpd. On the other hand, the selling price of
                    radial tyres is around 20% higher than the cross-ply tyres. Taking into account
                    the difference in capital requirements and consequent impact on asset
                    turnover, interest cost and depreciation, to generate similar RoCE and RoE, the
                    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 final RoEs 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 the tyre manufacturers going forward.


                    Volume growth strong: Ceat's volume growth has recovered across segments
                    like the T&B, passenger vehicles and OTR. Further, the company’s product mix
                    is skewed towards the commercial vehicle (CV) segment (T&B tyres account for
                    almost 61% of the total tonnage, while the light commercial vehicles (LCVs)
                    and passenger vehicle (PVs) segments account for 22% and 15%, respectively),
                    which is set for strong recovery going forward.


                    Increasing focus on exports, capacity addition to fuel growth: 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

                The tyre industry, during FY2010, benefited largely from the substantial decline in
                raw material prices and spike in replacement demand. Going ahead, we are
                positive on the sector as the OEM off-take is expected to improve on better overall
                auto industry volume growth. The recent run up in raw material prices is however,
                a concern and expected to exert pressure on OPMs. Nonetheless, on account of
                the better-than-expected 1QFY2011 performance, we maintain our estimates. We
                estimate the company to clock EPS of Rs25.1 in FY2011E and Rs41 in FY2012E.

                We believe that strong demand, prevailing high capacity utilisation levels and
                higher investment requirements, would help the Indian tyre Industry to arrest the
                sharp decline in margins despite the upward move in input costs (rubber and
                carbon black). Thus, we maintain a Buy on Ceat, with a Target Price of Rs164, at
                which level the stock would trade at 4x, 4x and 0.7x FY2012E EPS, EV/EBITDA and
                P/BV, respectively.

                Key downside risk to our call: Rise in input costs, increasing competitive intensity
                with major players diversifying globally and lower-than-anticipated growth in tyre
                off-take pose downside risks to our estimates.

However, Avg. Daily Volume 113,705 during 1QFY2011, capacity constraints restricted sequential (qoq) top-line Face Value (Rs) 2 growth. EBITDA margins came in higher than our expectations at 5.3%. Margins declined by 1,013bp yoy due to the sharp increase in rubber prices. Net profit fell BSE Sensex 17,868 following the steep decline in margins. Nonetheless, on account of the better- Nifty 5,368 than-expected 1QFY2011 performance, we maintain our estimates and keep a Reuters Code CEAT.BO Buy on the stock. Bloomberg Code CEAT@IN Top-line up 15.4%; OPM at 5.3%, marginally above expectation: Ceat clocked turnover of Rs778cr (Rs674cr) for 1QFY2011, an increase of 15.4% yoy. Top-line Shareholding Pattern (%) growth was aided by the ~49.8% yoy growth in OEs and ~22.6% yoy growth in Promoters 48.5 replacement sales. The company clocked operating profit of Rs41cr (Rs104cr) for 1QFY2011. Operating profit dipped on yoy and qoq basis primarily due to spurt MF / Banks / Indian Fls 22.4 in rubber prices leading to substantial 1,477bp yoy increase in raw material cost FII / NRIs / OCBs 4.1 at 68.9% (54.1%) of sales in 1QFY2011. Ceat reported net profit of Rs13.9cr Indian Public / Others 25.0 (Rs60.2cr) for the quarter, which was better than our expectation of Rs11cr. Outlook and Valuation: We believe that strong demand, prevailing high capacity Abs.

    CEAT |1QFY2011 ResultUpdate Investment Arguments Tyre industry - Set for structural shift: Currently, manufacturing radial tyres is far more capital intensive than cross-plys. Investment per tonnes per day (tpd) is 3.2x of cross-ply at Rs6.1cr/tpd. On the other hand, the selling price of radial tyres is around 20% higher than the cross-ply tyres. Taking into account the difference in capital requirements and consequent impact on asset turnover, interest cost and depreciation, to generate similar RoCE and RoE, the 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 final RoEs 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 the tyre manufacturers going forward. Volume growth strong: Ceat's volume growth has recovered across segments like the T&B, passenger vehicles and OTR. Further, the company’s product mix is skewed towards the commercial vehicle (CV) segment (T&B tyres account for almost 61% of the total tonnage, while the light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and passenger vehicle (PVs) segments account for 22% and 15%, respectively), which is set for strong recovery going forward. Increasing focus on exports, capacity addition to fuel growth: 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 The tyre industry, during FY2010, benefited largely from the substantial decline in raw material prices and spike in replacement demand. Going ahead, we are positive on the sector as the OEM off-take is expected to improve on better overall auto industry volume growth. The recent run up in raw material prices is however, a concern and expected to exert pressure on OPMs. Nonetheless, on account of the better-than-expected 1QFY2011 performance, we maintain our estimates. We estimate the company to clock EPS of Rs25.1 in FY2011E and Rs41 in FY2012E. We believe that strong demand, prevailing high capacity utilisation levels and higher investment requirements, would help the Indian tyre Industry to arrest the sharp decline in margins despite the upward move in input costs (rubber and carbon black). Thus, we maintain a Buy on Ceat, with a Target Price of Rs164, at which level the stock would trade at 4x, 4x and 0.7x FY2012E EPS, EV/EBITDA and P/BV, respectively. Key downside risk to our call: Rise in input costs, increasing competitive intensity with major players diversifying globally and lower-than-anticipated growth in tyre off-take pose downside risks to our estimates.
