HISTORY

 

Subject is one of the two and three wheeler manufacturers in India. The company is well known for their R and D, product development, process engineering and low-cost manufacturing skills. The company is the largest exported of two and three-wheelers in the country with exports forming 18% of its total sales. The company has two subsidiaries, namely Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV and PT Bajaj Indonesia. The company was incorporated on April 30, 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of erstwhile Subject (the holding company) with the name Bajaj Investment and Holding Limited The company received the certificate of commencement of business on May 7, 2007. The holding company operated in the segments, such as automotive, insurance and investment, and others. Considering the growth opportunities in the auto, wind-energy, insurance and finance sectors, the holding company de-merged their activities into three separate entities, each of which can focus on their core businesses and strengthen competencies. The auto business of the holding company along with all assets and liabilities pertaining thereto including investments in PT Bajaj Auto Indonesia and in a few vendor companies transferred to Bajaj Investment and Holding Limited In addition a total of Rs 15,000 million in cash and cash equivalents also transferred to Bajaj Investment and Holding Limited As the part of the scheme, Bajaj Holdings and Investment Limited were renamed as Subject The appointed date of this de-merger was closing hours of business on March 31, 2007. In April 9, 2007, the company inaugurated their green field plant at Pantnagar in Uttarakhand. In the first year of operations, the plant produced over 275,000 vehicles. The company's vehicle assembly plant at Akurdi was shut down from September 3, 2007 due to higher cost of production. In November 2007, Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV, a wholly owned subsidiary company acquired 14.51% equity stake in KTM Power Sports AG of Austria, Europe’s second largest sport motorcycle manufacturer for Rs.3450 millions. During the year 2007-08, the company launched XCD 125 DTS-Si and the Three-wheeler Direct Injected auto rickshaw. The Chakan plant completed the cumulative production of over 2 million Pulsar. Also, the 4-wheeler plant in Chakan is developing 'Life' cargo vehicle named 'PV1500', which is scheduled for launch in 2009.

 

CAPACITY EXPANSION AND NEW PROJECTS

 

The company plans to maintain the capacity of two and three-wheelers at the current level of 5,040,000 numbers per annum during the year ending 31 March 2012. The 4 wheel vehicle development work is under progress and commercial launch of the first product from this platform is scheduled for 2012.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

BAJAJ AUTO INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS BV (BAIH BV)

 

A 100% Netherlands based subsidiary of Bajaj Auto (Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV) was formed to focus on international ventures, including possible acquisitions. In FY2008, BAIH BV invested €98.36 million to acquire 24.45% equity stake in KTM Power Sports AG of Austria, Europe’s second largest sport motorcycle manufacture. As on date, total investment in KTM was €153.71 million for a 39.71% ownership of BAIH BV.

 

The alliance with KTM needs elaborating. KTM is an outstanding brand whose products use top class technology and have been the world’s off-road racing champions for the last eight years. The brands also have tremendous pricing power. In other words, KTM has an excellent ‘front-end’.

 

What they lack is the ‘back-end’ – the economies of scale to ramp up their production. Bajaj Auto has that advantage. Therefore, it made sense to combine the two and work together to produce common platforms for both KTM and Pulsar bikes for key emerging markets.

 

The first platform – KTM Duke 125 – was developed jointly with KTM and the Company by Bajaj Auto’s R&D team, and the product was manufactured at Chakan. The first consignment was shipped in March 2011. It has been well received, and will be supplied by Bajaj Auto for KTM world-wide in FY2012. The same platform will be leveraged to manufacture higher powered motorbikes for the upper end of the Indian market. This is expected towards the end of FY2012.

 

KTM sold 85,543 motorcycles between September 2009 to December 2010 achieving a turnover of €591.38 million and recording a net profit of €13.96 million as against 64,080 motorcycles during September 2008 to August 2009 recording a turnover of €454.62 million and a net loss of €81.43 million.

 

PT BAJAJ INDONESIA (PT BAI)

 

PT BAI was incorporated in FY2007 as a subsidiary in Indonesia with a share capital of US$ 12.5 million. During FY2010, Bajaj Auto added further capital by US$ 17 million, and so increasing its total stake to 98.9% in PT BAI. Thus, total investment in PT BAI stands at US$ 29.5 million (Rs.1378.200 Millions).

 

OPERATING WORKING CAPITAL AND ROCE

 

Despite a 39% increase in net sales to Rs.159980.000 Millions  in FY2011, Bajaj Auto has succeeded in maintaining negative working capital at (-) Rs.3740.000 Millions. Operating profit after interest and depreciation increased by 33%-from Rs.24510.000 Millions in FY2010 to Rs.32600.000 Millions in FY2011. Company’s pre-tax return on operating capital stood at 259%. Table 5 gives the data.

TVS MOTOR'S SUPERIOR PRODUCT MIX REVS UP NET

 

04 November 2011

India, November 4 -- TVS Motor Company Limited put up a stellar show for the September quarter, as two-wheeler manufacturers bucked the economic recession that had hurt other auto makers. A superior product mix and sales growth across product categories boosted volumes by 15.5% from a year ago.

Stand-alone revenue rose 23.2% to Rs.19918.000 Millions from a year earlier and 14.1% from the June quarter. Price hikes boosted net average realization by 6.3% from a year ago. This is almost in line with the 6.8% growth in realization seen in the country's largest motorcycle maker; Hero Moto Corp Limited Bajaj Auto Limited’s realizations grew by only 3.8% during the same period.

Growth in revenue was driven largely by the 27.2% year on-year (y-o-y) growth in scooter sales, followed by the 20% growth in three-wheeler sales. These two segments enjoy better profitability and, hence, support operating profit margins.

Perhaps, that's the reason the fall in operating margins was restricted to a mere 24 basis points compared with a year ago, despite the 176 basis points increase in the raw material cost as a percentage to sales during the period. Lower other expenditure and employee costs helped contain expenditure. One basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.

TVS clocked an 18.9% y-o-y increase in operating profit to Rs.1460.000 Millions. Further, it beat market estimates on net profit that increased by 39.7% from the year-ago period to Rs.765.000 Millions.

But the company's shares did not react to the strong results, closing marginally lower at '66.30, discounting fiscal 2012 estimated earnings around 11 times.

Nevertheless, the management's reiteration of 15% sales growth this year with strong traction in scooters and three wheelers is heartening. The 20% y-o-y growth in retail sales in October supports its growth target. Although, the company's sales were 6.3% lower due to the one-week maintenance shutdown.

Also, the management's forecast of softer commodity prices would help it deliver improved operating profit margin for the full year--a key factor to improve valuations.
