Despite the muted performance of Jaguar sales, we expect JLR volumes to post a

M&HCV sales have experienced muted growth of 9.4% in YTD FY12. Bus volumes
TTMT vs. Sensex too have also been impacted in absence of any new orders under JNNURM.
However, LCV’s (+25.5% growth YTD) have managed to buck the trend and
continue to grow driven by strong consumption and replacement demand from three
wheelers. We believe that the interest rate cycle has peaked and with inflation
coming under control, there is a strong possibility of reversal in the interest rates
which should lead to resurgence in M&HCV volumes over the medium term.
Consequently, we expect the segment to report 16% CAGR over FY12-13 to
~5,90,000 units partially aided by strong demand of the ACE/Magic family.

2. Passenger Vehicle demand to remain subdued
While the growth of PV sales is expected to remain subdued over FY12-13, the faster
increases in the petrol prices (~+12% since January’11) than diesel (~+9% since
January’12) has led to relatively attractive pricing of diesel cars. This is especially
beneficial for diesel engine based car manufacturers like Tata Motors (which is also
visible from the sharp uptick in the December monthly volume sales). In addition, positive
response from the new Indica Vista, revamped Indigo, improved model of Nano - Tata
Nano 2012 and soon to be launched diesel version of Tata Nano are expected to sustain
the volumes going forward. However, given the poor showing of -0.7% YTD on the back
of increasing competition and unfavorable economic scenario in the near to medium
term, we expect the passenger vehicle segment volumes to experience muted growth of
2% CAGR to ~3,08,000 units by FY13.
Subsidiaries on the growth path
Other subsidiaries like Tata Daewoo Limited, Tata Motors Finance Ltd. (TMFL) and Tata
Technologies are also expected to contribute to the growth story. We expect the 2nd
largest truck manufacturer in South Korea’s-Tata Daewoo’s revenues and earnings to
grow at a CAGR of 24% and 10% to `4,476 crore and `89 crore respectively over FY12-
13. TMFL, the financing arm of Tata Motors Ltd is in good stead to benefit from improving
volumes of TML. TMFL revenues and earnings are expected to post a CAGR of 26% and
36% to `2,159 crore and `237 crore respectively over FY12-13. Tata Technologies
revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% and earnings to remain flat at `1,470
crore and `133 crore respectively over FY12-13 on account of global exposure.
Attractive Valuations
We value the diversified Tata Motors on SOTP basis at `262 per share representing an
upside potential of 22.4% from the CMP of `214. The strong growth of the JLR brands,
expected resurgence of M&HCV sales and relative better showing of its PV diesel
portfolio compared to peers should stand the company in good stead.

3. Company Background
Established in 1945, Tata Motors is now India’s largest automobile company, and is the
leader in the commercial vehicle segment. It is predominantly engaged in the
manufacture of CV, passenger cars and utility vehicles. Through its subsidiaries and
associate companies, it is also engaged in the manufacturing of engineering and
automotive solutions, construction equipment and supply chain activities. The acquisition
of UK based Jaguar Land Rover has helped Tata Motors foray into international markets
and the iconic brands of Jaguar and Land Rover have become the key drivers of future
growth.

JLR’s strong growth momentum to continue
Despite the muted performance of Jaguar sales, we expect JLR volumes to post a CAGR
of 17.1% over FY12-13 to ~3,34,000 units aided by the encouraging response to the
recently launched Range Rover Evoque, and brisk sales of existing Land Rover models.
Additionally, the catapulting demand from fast growing markets like China, Russia and
RoW will keep it insulated from the slowdown in UK, continental Europe and static growth
in the US. Further, plans to launch 40 new models and variants over the next 5 years
should help keep the portfolio of brands fresh, invigorated and drive growth. We expect
JLR earnings to post a CAGR of 24% to GBP 15.1 bn and earnings to grow at a CAGR of
~4% to GBP 1.1 bn by FY13.

Land Rover to spearhead sales
Since the takeover of ailing JLR in 2008, the Tata’s have managed to turn around and
steer the former to a high growth trajectory. Volume in both retail (2,40,905 units; +16%
YoY jump in FY11) as well as wholesale (2,43,621 units; +26% YoY in FY11) have grown
handsomely. Despite lackluster growth in traditional markets of UK, continental Europe
and USA, forays into newer geographies notably Russia, China and RoW have helped
spearhead the growth. This re-shuffle of geographical market share growth has not only
helped grow volumes but introduction of newer products and premium pricing has helped
improve realizations. Despite the fact that Jaguar is to experience stagnant growth,
overall volume growth is expected to be driven by the Land Rover range of vehicle
through a strong product pipeline and presence in over 170 countries.

Evoque platform to fill gaps in Land Rover's product portfolio
Traditionally portrayed as a large SUV player, Land Rover has recently forayed in the
compact SUV segment. This new strategy has paid off well as can be observed by the
encouraging response received from the recently launched Evoque (30,000 pre-
bookings).

6. The Evoque launch is not expected to cannibalize the existing products of JLR because
of its positioning. Moreover, Evoque’s design innovations have helped check input costs
and hence its lower price points are not expected to impact blended margins.
JLR banking heavily on Chinese demand
Notwithstanding the macro headwinds in Europe and slowdown in the US, JLR continues
to post strong sales performance in emerging countries like China aided by new launches
and higher disposable incomes. China has turned out to be an important market for JLR’s
products portfolio over the past few quarters and volumes in the first two quarters of FY12
have more than doubled.
We believe that strong preference for SUVs in China would help JLR attain strong volume
growth in the medium term. In July 2010, JLR has set up its own distribution company,
‘National Sales Company (NSC) which would help improve its distribution reach and bring
greater focus to its China volume story. Further, to cater to the increasing demand and
offer products at competitive prices JLR is in the process of setting up a manufacturing
joint venture with a local partner, as the import duties for cars in China are higher as
compared to other geographies. In our view, these initiatives are positive and should help
Land Rover to firmly entrench itself in the world fastest growing vehicle market.

UK and Europe to witness stagnant growth
Historically, UK with a 20% revenue volume share has remained one of the major
markets for JLR. However, the weakening economic scenario has impacted the sales
volumes of the UK’s automobile industry. While the overall UK passenger segment de-
grew by 4.5%, JLR volumes registered a fall of 5% in YTD CY11. However, Land Rover
volumes witnessed a marginal fall of 0.42% to 34,890 units in YTD CY11 as compared to
35,036 units in YTD CY10. Thus, JLR has been able to sustain its market share at ~2.7%
in the UK markets aided by the continuous unveiling of new models and the judicious
expansion plan.

JLR’s continental Europe sales lower on the back of depressed Jaguar sales
JLR (with ~1% market share in the European markets) has seen its growth (-1.4%) sliding
more than the 0.8% YTD de-growth of the European PV market on account of a sharp fall
in Jaguar volumes of 17%. However Land Rover volumes have witnessed a marginal
growth of 4.1% and thus JLR series is expected to witness flat growth over FY12-13 on
the back of incremental volumes from the Land Rover series.

8. New product launches to keep the portfolio invigorated
JLR plans to strengthen its business by diversifying and enhancing its product range in
the premium car and SUV segments. Over the next five years, nearly 40 new product
launches and variants are planned. Further JLR intends to launch a new platform every
seven years with major and minor refurbishing for each model every four years and two
years respectively. In line with these ambitious plans, the management has guided that it
would be investing GBP 1.5 bn in fixed assets per annum over the medium term.
We believe the new product launches will augur well for JLR, since changing consumer
preferences regularly shift from old models to new models in the luxury car segment on
account of technological advancement.

CV sales growth to be led by SCV/LCV sales
M&HCV sales have experienced muted 9.4% growth in YTD FY12. Bus volumes too have
also been impacted in absence of any new orders under JNNURM. However, LCV’s
(+25.5% growth YTD) have managed to buck the trend and continue to grow driven by
strong consumption and replacement demand from three wheelers. We believe that the
interest rate cycle has peaked and with inflation coming under control, there is a strong
possibility of reversal in the interest rates which should lead to resurgence in M&HCV
volumes over the medium term. Consequently, we expect the segment to report 16%
CAGR over FY12-13 to ~5,90,000 units partially aided by strong demand of the
ACE/Magic family.
LCV sales to continue the positive uptrend.
In spite of prevailing macro-economic headwinds, the LCV segment (+28% YoY growth in
FY11) continues to show robust growth and has so far managed to buck the overall
slowdown being witnessed in other segments. The growth has been primarily driven by
the SCV segment which accounts for nearly 60% of LCV sales. Tata Motors has
maintained its market share of 60% in this segment aided by strong demand for
transportation of consumer goods within cities and replacement demand from three
wheelers. Demand is also expected to be driven by incremental demand from Tier II and
Tier III cities. TML LCV volumes witnessed a growth of 25.5% yoy to ~2,27,000 units
partially attributable to the strong demand from Tata Ace/Magic family.
To cater to the increasing demand for the Ace / Magic family products, the company is
contemplating a brownfield expansion at its Pantnagar facility to increase the output from
3,50,000 units to 4,50,000. Further, the new LCV manufacturing facility at its existing
plant in Dharwad with an initial capacity of 90,000 units p.a is on track.

9. New launches and strong product offerings by competitors like Ashok Leyland (Dost) and
Mahindra and Mahindra (Maximmo and Gio) are not expected to impact the positioning of
TML. However, significant capacity expansions by peers like Force Motors and Ashok
Leyland in the medium term can impact the market share marginally. We expect the LCV
volumes to post CAGR of 22% over FY12-13.

Additionally, the mining ban in Karnataka has also led to nearly 10,000 truck operators
remaining idle in the region. This coupled with the stagnant freight rates and rising costs
of vehicle ownership has led to deferment in purchases by fleet operators resulting in a
slowdown in the segment. TML being the market leader in the M&HCV segment (market
share 60%) was also affected, resulting in a muted growth of 8.4% in YTDFY12.
Competitive pressures building up in the bus segment.
The bus segment in which TML enjoys ~40% market share has been primarily affected by
abrupt freezing up of fresh orders from the public sector undertakings under the
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
Tata Motors in order to expand its product portfolio has recently made a foray in the ultra
luxury bus segment with the launch of Divo; pitched against its foreign rivals Daimler and
Volvo which currently dominate the inter city ultra luxury coach segment. Competition is
expected to intensify further in the bus segment with manufacturers like Volvo doubling
capacities, new launches from Daimler and its biggest existing competitor Ashok Leyland
also launching new models targeted at the BRT segment. The industry is expected to
witness ~1,00,000 M&HCV capacity expansion to come on stream by FY14. However, we
believe that these will not affect the leadership position enjoyed by TML.

With strong indications that interest rates have peaked and are expected to soften, there
is a case for the industrial activity reviving leading to an uptick in the CV business. Also,
steel prices (major raw material for automobiles) are expected to come down as the
capacity is expected to go up by 52.8 million tonnes to 158.5 million tonnes by FY14 and
the Supreme Court is expected to provide a relief to the mining ban in Karnataka which
should help bring down RM costs in the near term. We expect the M&HCV volumes to
post a CAGR of ~7% over FY-13 to ~2,16,000 units.

While the growth of PV sales is expected to remain subdued over FY12-13, the faster

In addition, positive response from the new Indica Vista, revamped Indigo, improved

are expected to sustain the volumes going forward. However, given the poor showing of -

Tata Motors to gain market share in the diesel vehicle segment
Given the negatives mentioned above, the PV segment YTD sales have remained flat.
However, Tata Motors boasting of a predominantly diesel portfolio is well insulated from
any slowdown and has infact improved market share in this segment to ~11.3%. Further,
most of its new launches are positioned in the diesel segment viz Tata Nano Diesel, Tata
Indicruz and Tata Safari Merlin which should further help consolidate market share. With
Hyundai shelving its plans to set up a new diesel platform and Toyota having delayed its
decision to launch an indigenous diesel car manufacturing facility limited competition is
expected to work in TML’s favour.

14. Debt not a matter of concern
While Tata Motors debt levels at `43973 crore (for FY12) seems high, however at the net
debt level it stands at `22,910 crore or a net debt equity ratio of 0.8 which is expected to
reduce to 0.5% in FY13, providing us with significant comfort. Further only 70% of this
debt i.e. ~`30,972 crore relates to the domestic and overseas automotive business, while
the rest of the debt is used to finance Tata Motors Finance Ltd.

15. Subsidiaries on the growth track
Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Ltd
Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles (TDCV) - the first overseas acquisition by Tata
Motors in 2004 marking its step towards globalization. In 2010, TDCV’s JV with General
Motors ran into rough weather and had to be called off. Its impact was felt in the sharp
de-growth during that year. Subsequently, to get the Korean business back on track and
to have better control on sales and distribution TDCV set up a wholly owned sales
company- Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Sales & Distribution Co. Subsequently,
volumes have picked up and the company has regained market share. We expect TDCV
to post 23% CAGR over FY12-13 to 13,280 units aided by the stabilization of its sales
company. Consequently, we expect the revenues and earnings to grow by 24% and 11%
CAGR to `4,476 and `90 crore respectively.

Tata Motors Finance Ltd
Established in 1957, Tata Motors Finance Ltd is engaged in financing of passenger cars
& CV’s manufactured by Tata Motors Ltd. It currently enjoys a market share of around
~24%. Its book size was around `10,000 crore in FY11 and we expect it to grow to
~`18,000 crore by FY13 aided by growth in Tata Motors sales. Currently, it enjoys NIM’s
of ~8.6%, however, on account of higher interest rates, growing competition we forecast
the NIM’s to be around 7.6% in FY13. We expect revenues and earnings to post a growth
of 26% and 37% CAGR to `2,159 crore and `238 crore respectively by FY13.

Tata Technologies Ltd
Tata Technologies Ltd (TTL) provides a range of services including Engineering and
Design, Product Lifecycle Management, Enterprise Solutions, manufacturing and product
development IT services to Tier 1 automotive and aerospace OEMs and their suppliers.
The company has operations across North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia
Pacific region. Since, ~60% of the revenues come from Europe and North America, it is
extremely vulnerable to any sharp de-growth in these economies. Consequently, we
expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% and earnings to remain flat at `1,470 crore
and `133 crore repectively by FY13.

17. Key Concerns
Currency fluctuation
Given the wide spread geographical reach in over 170 countries, more than 60% of total
revenues are earmarked in foreign currencies which serve as a natural hedge against the
forex loans taken by the company. Hence apart from translational gains / losses arising
from reporting in constant currency we believe the company is adequately hedged on the
forex loan portfolio.

Lower than expected volume growth in JLR
The global economic slowdown has significantly impacted the automotive markets
worldwide, particularly in the US, Europe and UK, where JLR has a significant volume
exposure. In case of any adverse event in the European region, the new market forays
may not be sufficient to arrest the fall in global volumes.
Extreme volatility in raw material prices could hurt margins
Rising raw material prices remains a key concern for the company. The volatility in the
prices of steel, non ferrous and precious metals, rubber, and petroleum products and the
other costs had adversely impacted the performance of TML in FY11. Profitability could
be impacted to the extent the company cannot pass the increasing costs to the
consumers.

19. Financial Outlook
Aided by higher volumes in the domestic CV and JLR business we expect revenues to
grow at a CAGR of 23.3% to `1,87,040.7 crore. Operating profits are expected to post a
CAGR of 14.2% to `21,517 crore in FY13, however, higher raw material costs and other
expenses are expected to drag down the EBITDA margins to 11.6% from 13.5% in FY11.
Consequently, we expect the PAT to grow at a CAGR of 11% to `11,413 crore as
compared to `9,274 crore in FY11.

Valuation
We initiate coverage on Tata Motors as a BUY with a SOTP valuation based Price
Objective of `262 representing an upside potential of 22.4% from the CMP of `214. We
have valued the JLR business on a P/E multiple of 7.5 in line with its global peers like
BMW and Daimler. Although, they have higher number of platforms as compared to JLR
their revenue and earnings growth are expected to be muted. We have valued the
standalone business at a P/E multiple of 10.5 on account of its sustained leadership
position in the CV segment and the gradual momentum in the Passenger vehicle
segment. Further, we have assigned a 1.5 P/B multiple to TMFL (in line with peers) and
other subsidiaries have been valued at 9x FY13 earnings to arrive at a target price of
`262 per share. At a CMP of `214 the stock is trading at 6.3x and 5.9x its estimated
earnings for FY2012E & FY2013E representing a potential upside of 22.4% over a period
of 12 months.
