Ashok Leyland - Q2FY21 Result Update - ICICI Direct

Ashok Leyland (ALL) reported a healthy operational performance in Q2FY21. Revenues came in at Rs. 2,837 crore, down 28% YoY, courtesy higher than anticipated ASPs (Rs. 14.6 lakh/unit). Total CV sales volumes in Q2FY21 were at ~19,444 units (down ~33% YoY). EBITDA came in at Rs. 80.4 crore with corresponding EBITDA margins at 2.8%. Savings were realised under all cost heads. Consequent loss at the PAT level was limited to Rs. 147 crore.

Valuation & Outlook

Sales, PAT CAGR are expected at 14.3%, 77.8% CAGR, respectively, in FY20-23E (low base). We believe a cyclical turnaround in domestic CV industry is close, as indicated by sharp improvement in recent volume prints. Hence, we maintain BUY on ALL, valuing it at Rs. 100 (SOTP; 10x FY23E CV segment EV/EBITDA, 1.5x P/B for investments). Key upside risk to our estimates is mandatory and affirmative scrappage policy by the central government.
