Endurance Technologies Results Report - Market share gains in brakes to drive outperformance - HDFC Securities

Mr. Aditya Makharia, Institutional Research Analyst, HDFC Securities

Endurance continues to grow ahead of the industry, with 4QFY21 sales expanding ~5% QoQ despite a weak quarter for the 2W industry. The management is confident of expanding its market share in the brakes segment (which forms ~10% of revenue), from 30% currently to ~50% after the new capacities come on stream. Further, the parts maker expects to gain market share in the 200cc premium segment as it wins orders to supply high-end ABS systems, a segment that is currently dominated by MNCs such as Bosch. We reiterate our BUY rating with a target price of INR 1,600 at 30x FY23E EPS (we have tweaked our estimates upwards by 3%).

4QFY21 financials: Standalone: Revenue at INR 15.98bn grew ahead of our estimates at +5% QoQ. EBITDA margin at 14.8% contracted 220bps QoQ due to higher RM costs (64.4% of sales vs 62.1%) and lower government incentives. APAT came in at INR 1.39bn (-14% QoQ). Consolidated: Consolidated revenue at INR 21.3bn was up 5% QoQ while EBITDA margin at 15.6% contracted 170bps QoQ. APAT at INR 1.87bn declined 7% QoQ. Europe operations: Revenue came in at INR 5.3bn (+4% QoQ) while margin at 17.9% was nearly flat QoQ. It contributed 27.3% to consolidated revenue in FY21.

Con call and other highlights: (1) Capacity expansion: The Vallum plant has commenced operations, and is supplying to Hyundai/Kia and Enfield. Endurance would increase the disc brake assembly capacity from the existing 285k/month to 570k/month and discs capacity from 375k/month to 675k/month by Aug-21. Also, it is setting up an aluminium low pressured die casting plant at Pantnagar for 720k/p.a., which would commence operations in 2QFY22. The supply of 2W ABS brake assemblies should start by Oct-21. (2) Strong order book: The RFQs stood at ~INR 15bn at the end of FY21. (3) Focus on EVs: Endurance has already started supply for brake assemblies, suspensions and aluminium casting for 2W and 3W EVs. (4) Aftermarket segment contributed 6.5% to sales in FY21. The company targets reaching 10% of sales by entering more exports (currently 29 countries). The company started retailing tyres in the 2/3W segment as part of a trading arrangement.
