Unorganised bearings primarily represent small scale manufacturers and suppliers of spurious

both industrial and automotive segments

Imported bearings account for ~40% of total Indian bearings industry. Imported bearings are primarily

used in the industrial markets, whereas automobile markets are catered to by manufactured bearings

Industrial segment typically requires customisation, large sized bearings and maintaining large number

of SKUs. Volumes for a particular type of bearings wouldn’t be large (as in the case of automobiles),

while portfolio of products would be large. Hence the major players in this segment prefer to cater to

the demand via imports

Most bearing manufacturers in India are MNCs having technology backing from the parent company or

have technology that has been acquired from MNCs.

Key drivers: #1 Railways to drive growth in multiple ways

Page 8

Overall railway bearing market is estimated to be ~Rs. 10bn, out of

which freight application accounts for ~60%. Timken is positioned

strongly with ~60% market share in the freight segment and similarly

with high speed passenger segment. We expect the market size to

significantly expand with DFC, replacement of existing wagons and the

metro rail projects in various cities

Timken India is a technology partner with Indian Railways (IR) for

selecting the kind of bearings that will be required for the wagons on the

DFC. Hence, Timken is working closely with RDSO and will be major

suppliers of bearings required for new wagons

Typically an existing wagon would require eight bearings from Timken at

an average cost of Rs. 6,500 per bearing. We expect the average cost

per bearing to significantly increase as the speed and load requirements

increase

DFC to significantly increase speed and axle load

IR has a wagon fleet of ~0.24mn, of which 0.14mn wagons are box-type

(coal transportation)

On an average the additional wagons required are ~15,000 per year –

while currently the procurement is lower due to inadequate ordering on

the back of financial crunch for the IR

With the DFC, industry estimates that the average number of wagons to

be procured would rise to ~75,000 wagons in the initial years. This would

be a significant positive for Timken India, given they are large suppliers

to wagon manufacturers

Apart from DFC, IR are planning to implement high speed passenger rail

corridors. This would again benefit Timken, given they are the sole

domestic manufacturers of Taper Roller Bearings for this application

Domestic Revenue YoY CV Industry YoY

Timken has a majority market share for the supply of TRBs in the HCV

segment. Approximate market share that Timken has with major OEMs

for axle bearings is as follows : Ashok Leyland ~100%, VECV ~40%.

M&M, Escorts, John Deere and New Holland ~45%. Also large supplier

to Tata Motors for Pinion bearings

The company’s domestic revenue (primarily auto and railways) has

significantly outperformed the CV industry. This is primarily on the back

of significant shift towards MAVs (multi-axle vehicles, > 25MT)

On an average Timken supplies four bearings per axle at an average

realisation of ~Rs. 6,000 per bearing. Increase in MAVs significantly

improve Timken’s average realisation per vehicle.

We expect steep growth in the CV segment to continue in FY16 and

FY17, moreover the growth would be lead by the HCV segment. This

would continue to benefit Timken India

Timken has consistently invested and is expected to continue to invest in

manufacturing capacities.

These capacities being fungible between products for the domestic and

export markets, in the event of a slow down in either market, the

capacities can be used to service the other market

Historically, during a slowdown in the domestic market, Timken has

been able to scale up revenue in the export markets, maintaining its

fixed asset turnover ratio at a healthy >2.5xover the 6 years through

Timken India is also expanding its portfolio to ‘Adjacent products & services’

in line with parent’s goal

Page 14

Timken India also offers ‘adjacent products’ related to mechanical power transmission like coupling, housed units, high performance grease, and

lubrication systems. The company calls this as the ‘Beyond Bearing Portfolio’

The gear-repair unit at Raipur with the capability of Philadelphia Gear focuses on industrial gear box repair, journal rebuilding and chock repairs. The

Raipur unit is currently serving customers ranging from Steel, Power, Cement and general industries.

The plant executed orders with offering of inspection, repair and upgrade of gearbox weighing from 2 -16 tons for wide range of domestic customers and

have also exported few gearboxes for cooling tower application to USA.

The company targets to expand services for gearbox parts and new enclosed gearboxes for domestic markets, also continue to look for opportunities for

exports back to USA.

Onsite MILLTEC program provides around-the-clock management of a steel mill's roll shop to minimize operational problems and downtime.

MILLTEC continues serve at customer sites and added a new site in Eastern India (in FY15) making total of 11 sites across India.

Timken India is extremely positive on the outlook for onsite services is as it plans to add more services for its existing and new sites

Timken’s EBITDA margin has significantly improved in FY15 (1QFY16 improved

further to 16.9%). Similarly the company has seen a steep improvement in traded

business gross margin

The company has also witnessed a steady reduction in imported raw material and

components. This helps reduce FX risk and potentially lower raw material costs

Among the key competitors, Timken has seen a steady improvement in traded

revenues. We believe, the steady increase suggests that Timken is able to cater to

new end-markets, new products by importing the bearings. As the potential for the

segment improves significantly (over time), the bearings can be locally manufactured

Significant improvement in asset turns (including traded revenue) also resulted in

steep jump in RoCE

Timken has also witnessed a significant improvement in exports proportion. This

enables improving fixed asset utilisation and provides a captive growth driver. We

have witnessed other companies such as Wabco India, where the US based parent

has significantly scaled up sourcing from the Indian subsidiaries as a drive to

improve profitability

Timken India’s working capital days is however at the higher end, this is primarily on

the back of significantly lower creditor days and not due to debtors / inventory

SKF and FAG : CY13, CY14, CY15, CY16; FAG is based on Consensus estimates

We believe Timken is the best placed bearing company in terms of future growth

prospects, primarily on the back of visibility in the key end-markets and high

market shares in the segments that the company is present in.

In terms of capital allocation, we see Timken as the most efficient as the cash as

a % of capital employed is the lowest at ~10% vs. 50% for SKF and 30% for

FAG. Timken has also planned for capacity expansion reflecting the growth

drivers in Railways, Commercial Vehicles and Exports

As seen is the peer comparison in slide 15, Timken’s return ratio’s is the best.

We also see the expected PAT and EBITDA growth being highest for Timken.

Accordingly, Timken trades at 25x FY17 EPS, still below FAG at 30x

We assign a Buy rating for Timken India with a price target of Rs. 666, based on

30x FY17 EPS. Based on our target multiple, PEG ratio is ~0.8x, still below the

peers and in-line with other well placed auto component manufacturers such as

Amara Raja batteries and Wabco India
