For Q2FY15, Greaves Cotton reported net sales and EBITDA in line with our estimates.
However adjusted net profit of the company (adjusted for exceptional items) was
better than our estimate mainly on account of lower effective tax rate of ~19%
compared to average tax rate of 27-30% in previous quarters. Led by growth in
Engine segment sales by 1.8% and de-growth in Infrastructure equipment sales by
57.7%, Total net sales of the company showed a marginal decline of 1% y/y to
Rs 4,410 mn (vs our estimate of 4,539 mn). Optimization on material and employee
costs coupled with closing down of loss making construction equipment (CE)
business has helped the company in improving its EBITDA margin by 197 y-o-y to
12.7%. EBITDA for the quarter increased by 17.2% to Rs 560 mn (vs our estimate of
545 mn). Helped by lower effective tax rate, adj net profit of the company increased
y-o-y by 31.2% to Rs 421 mn (vs our estimate of 336 mn).

Improvement in Working capital and cash position:
Company has improved its working capital cycle in last 6 months. Inventory and
receivables of the company has declined by Rs 382.5 mn in last six months.
Total cash and current investments of the company has also shown improvement
of Rs 583.6 mn in same period.
Capex Plan:
As Company does not have any major expansion (green field/brown field) plan in
next 1-2 years, Capex outgo is likely to be limited to Rs 400-500 mn on account of
regular maintenance, R&D and Product development activity.
Outlook and Valuation:
On shutting-down the CE business, despite revenue losses, we expect EBITDA and
PAT margins to improve. EBITDA & PAT margins during FY14-16E are likely to expand
by 357 bps and 265 bps, respectively, to 13.9% and 9.3%, respectively. In-line with

margin expansion, RoEs are likely to improve from 14.1% in FY14E to 17.3% by
FY16E. However dependence on limited number of clients for its auto engine
business and increased competition in farm equipment and genset business remains
major risk for the company.
At CMP of Rs 142, GC stock is trading at FY15E and FY16E, P/E multiple of 23.9x and
19.4x, respectively. We value the company at 17x PE multiple of FY16E EPS estimate
of Rs 7.3, and arrive at a price target of Rs 124. We maintain HOLD rating on the
stock.
