OE sales up 23.2%, replacement sales up 74.5%
OE sales grew 23.2% YoY to INR 301 mn whereas aftermarket sales
grew by 74.5% YoY to INR 601 mn. Replacement market has been
on upward trajectory from Q2FY14 primarily because of
replacement demand for the BS III compliant clutches that were
fitted in CVs in 2010. Exports grew by only 4% but we expect
significant pick up in exports from H2 onwards. We expect OE &
replacement market volumes to grow at a CAGR of 16.7% & 15.4%
respectively between FY14-16E.
EBITDA Margin down 12 bps YoY
Setco reported EBITDA of INR 112 mn, up 47.8% YoY but margins
dipped 12 bps over the same period to 11.8% led by higher material
costs. Material cost increased because of rupee depreciation
(Imports account for ~25% of raw material cost) & increase in
price of certain raw materials including steel. Setco is in talks
with OEMs for price hike & management expects some decision
on pricing front by the end of next month. Employee cost & other
expenses came in at INR 82 mn (8.6% of sales) & INR 180 mn
(18.8% of sales).
Other Highlights
1. Volumes for Clutch Driven Plate & Clutch Cover Assembly grew
by 50.0% & 28.0% YoY respectively.
2. The company plans to incur capex of INR 250 mn in both FY15
& FY16 on normal maintainence & backward integration of
some parts.

3. Total Debt currently stands at INR 1850 mn & Setco plans to
repay INR 320 mn of debt over the next two years.
4. In order to improve its product quality, Setco, has entered into
a JV with Lingotes Especiales S.A to manufacture high quality
machined ferrous casting products for itself. The company
intends to invest INR 360 mn over the next two years in the JV.
Outlook & Valuation
We expect M&HCV segment to recover & register a CAGR of 16.7%
betweenFY14-16E.GlobalplayerslikeDaimler&Volvohavestarted
manufacturing operations in India with the twin objective of
increasing the domestic presence & making India an export base
for overseas markets. To offer superior quality products at
competitive price, these MNCs would increase insourcing &
localization of auto parts, thereby generating demand for Setco's
clutches. Dependency on M&HCV segment, increased in-sourcing
by MNCs and sizeable market share of ~85% places Setco
Automotive in a sweet spot.

Setco Automotive reported Q1FY15 revenue at INR 954 mn which was inline with our estimates but PAT, which came
in at INR 45 mn was below our estimates. EBITDA was up 47.8% at INR 112 mn but margins declined 12 bps YoY
to 11.8%. PAT grew by 9.2% to INR 45 mn due to lower other income (PBT excluding other income was up 4.9x YoY).
We retain our BUY recommendation on the stock with a target price of INR 159 based on 6.5x FY16E EBITDA.
