Dynamics Of The Tractor Industry

Farmers Primary customers of this industry

Tractor are replacing traditional methods of farming, i.e. moving to farm mechanisation

Size of farms drives the farmers’ buying decision

Easily available credit facilities make buying tractors convenient

Construction Companies They use tractors for transportation of raw materials

like brick, cement and sand etc

Their need is shifting towards higher HP tractors, as they can carry more material by weight and ensure faster delivery

Higher HP tractors are also used as mounts for many types of accessories, such as front-end shovels, bulldozers and others

Investment argumentsMultiple triggers to support tractor sales

In the last one year, the tractor industry has overcome hurdles like demonetisation and implementation of GST, which impacted tractor sales. Despite these, a good monsoon in the current and previous year supported overall tractor sales’ growth, which increased by 17.8% in FY17 and 11.5% in 1HFY18. A healthy monsoon in the current year led to a better reservoir position in most parts of the country. This would bode well for a good Rabi crop output. These positive triggers will further drive the domestic tractor industry. Along with this, the government’s continued thrust towards rural development and agri-mechanisation with enhanced budget allocation for the Agri sector, our strong belief is that these will affect the tractor industry positively.

The Indian domestic tractor industry started picking up after declining for two consecutive years from its peak sales of 634k units in FY14. It witnessed a strong upswing in demand during FY17 and closed at 582k units, as compared to 493k units for FY16, reflecting a growth of 17.8% for FY17

Along with this, the waiver of farm loans in states such as Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have also helped boost sales. As most tractors are purchased through official loans, waivers have helped farmers who had earlier been defaulters to now be eligible for loans. Besides this, the increase in the minimum support price for both Kharif and Rabi crops is likely to keep rural sentiment positive in the near term, which in turn will benefit SEL.

Trend In Tractor Sales From FY05

Constant capacity addition led to volume growth

SEL has consistently expanded its capacity to meet tractor demand in the country. In FY11, the company had a capacity of 42k units, which it expanded to 60k units in FY12, 75k units in FY13 and 105k units in FY16. Now, SEL is adding 15k units expected to be commissioned in Q4FY18. Post this addition, the total capacity will be 120k units. The total capex for this expansion is Rs 250-300mn, funded through internal accruals. Post this, SEL has plans to further add 15k units in the next two years, and targets to reach 150k units by FY21E. The capex for each addition of 15k units is ~Rs 300mn, which can be easily funded through internal accruals. We expect SEL to achieve capacity utilisation of 88/87/86% respectively by FY18/19/20E on increased capacity, which should result in better operating leverage.

Source: Company, HDFC sec Inst Research

Focus on higher HP engines to drive growth SEL currently caters to the 20 HP to 60 HP engine

requirements of Swaraj Tractors. SEL is now expanding its product range, and has recently started manufacturing 60 HP engines. Also, on the Swaraj Tractors’ front, Swaraj 960 FE, a 55-60 HP category tractor has well accepted in the market. The company has plans to launch a new 65 HP tractor in FY18, which will further strengthen SEL position in the higher HP tractor engine market. We have estimated a 12.2% volume CAGR for SEL over FY17-20E.

We estimate that a bulk of the growth in the coming years will be from the higher HP segment i.e. 41-50 HP, 51-60 HP and 60-65 HP. The Swaraj brand of tractors is known for its performance in the higher HP segment. We believe that new launches in this segment will result in increasing its share in the domestic market. As on FY17, M&M has a market share of 45% in the 41-50 HP tractor and 28% in the 51 HP and above tractor segment. The overall domestic tractor sales of the 51 HP and above segments have increased from 5% in FY14 to 8% in FY17. The launch of new higher HP tractors from Swaraj Tractors will further boost SEL’s engine volume growth.

Higher HP tractors have strong growth opportunities in the construction industry

Tractors can be used in a variety of ways as construction equipment. While their primary purpose may be to pull or push loads, they are also used as mounts for many types of accessories, such as front-end shovels, bulldozers and others. With these types of applications, we strongly believe that higher HP tractors have strong opportunities in the road construction industry. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to build 50k kms of roads, with an expense of USD 250bn by 2022 as part of a long-term goal of doubling the length of the national highway network to 200k kms. The five tractor manufacturers command a market share of ~96% in the 51HP and above segment. M&M continues to dominate the industry, with the highest market share of ~28% for FY17 in >51HP segment. The introduction of the new 65HP from the Swaraj brand will further boost engine volume growth in SEL.

Strong balance sheet and superior return ratios

SEL operates with a negative cash conversion cycle, and has a debt-free balance sheet with good free cash flow generation. With its debt-free status and strong cash and cash equivalents at Rs 2.35bn in FY17, SEL has the ability to withstand unfavourable business cycles, as witnessed in FY15 and FY16. SEL’s dividend payout had been strong, (exceeding 55% in the last four years), resulting in a good dividend yield of ~2%. The return ratios of SEL are very attractive. In FY17, RoE and RoIC were at 25% and 84% respectively. The new capacity will further drive volume growth, and with higher OPM from larger HP engine sales, helps to maintain overall OPM at current levels. This would further boost return ratios. We expect SEL to deliver RoE of 36% and a strong RoIC of 128% in FY20E.

Improvement In Return Ratios From FY17

Post acquisition by M&M, SEL prudent with regard to working capital

SEL, after being acquired by M&M, has drastically improved its working capital cycle. Cash conversion cycle days reduced from 42 days in FY08 to 4 days in FY09. Thereafter, the cash conversion cycle has fallen to negative 17 days in FY17, which reflects the efficiency in the management of capital. This has resulted in strong cash flow generation for the company, and we anticipate it will maintain the average operating cash flow to EBITDA at 0.8x in FY15-20E.

Tractors to replace shortage of farm labour

The next leg of growth in the tractor industry is farm mechanisation. This will automatically arise from the shortage of farm labour, which has moved to other means of livelihood, a shift in labour from the rural to urban sector, along with the diversion of the workforce on account of MGNREGA. The first step in farm mechanisation is the purchase of tractors for cultivation, and also for other agriculture activities. Hence, we expect that going ahead, positive sentiments will continue for a lengthy period.

Buy-back at Rs 2,400 per share to boost investor sentiments

SEL has approved the buy-back proposal for not exceeding 294k shares (2.37% of equity capital) at Rs 2,400 per share, for an aggregate amount not exceeding Rs 707mn. It will be funded through internal accruals or cash and cash equivalents. As on March 2017, SEL has Rs 2.35bn as cash and cash equivalents, which can easily fund the buy-back after meeting the capex requirement. We view the buy-back decision is a positive move to company.

Outlook and valuation SEL is one of the largest tractor engine manufacturers

in the industry, enjoying a volume market share of ~14% in overall domestic tractor sales. The company’s capacity for engines stands at 105k in addressable tractor sales of 582k in FY17. The company plans to expand its capacity by 15k units every year for the next two years. In 4QFY18, the capacity is expected to be enhanced to 120k units, and 135k units in 4QFY19. Capex would be ~Rs 300mn each year for the next two years, which would be met though internal accruals.

SEL witnessed revenue CAGR of 11% in FY15-FY17, while the operating profit grew by 18% in the same period, supported by an uptick in volumes. With the focus on higher HP engines, which command superior profitability, augurs well for SEL. With this, we project SEL’s revenues to grow at a CAGR of 16% for FY17-20E, operating profit and PAT at a CAGR of 17% and 16% respectively for the same period.

At the CMP of Rs 1,966, SEL is trading at 28.0/25.3/22.3x FY18/FY19/20E EPS. Given its multiple growth triggers, coupled with huge opportunities in the agriculture industry, we argue for a P/E re-rating for SEL. Hence, our fair value for the stock is Rs 2,489 (30x Sep-19E EPS).

Risks to our investment thesis
