Mixed performance on the consolidated front: Apollo Tyres (APTY) reported a mixed set of 4QFY2012 results, as strong performance in domestic operations was overshadowed by poor South African operations. APTYs consolidated top line jumped by 18.4% yoy (flat qoq) to `3,231cr, driven by 8.8% yoy growth each in total volumes and net average realization. While domestic operations witnessed strong 14% yoy growth in volumes, Europe witnessed 4% yoy volume growth and South Africa witnessed an 18% yoy decline in volumes as its operations were impacted by planned shutdowns and rising threat of imported tyres. The companys EBITDA margin expanded by 110bp sequentially (down 15bp yoy) to 11.1%, mainly due to margin improvement in the domestic business (EBITDA margin improved 200bp yoy and 160bp sequentially) led by lower raw-material expenses. Net profit declined by 18.6% yoy to `157cr mainly on account of higher interest (up 31.5%) and depreciation (up 22.1%) expenses. Healthy standalone performance: APTYs standalone net sales grew by strong 28.2% yoy (7.9% qoq) to `2,259cr, driven by volume growth of 14% yoy (6.5% qoq) and net average realization growth of 12.5% yoy (1.3% qoq). EBITDA margin expanded by 200bp yoy (160bp qoq) to 9.6%, largely due to a decline in raw-material expenses, leading to 61.9% yoy growth in operating profit. However, net profit grew by just 9.2% yoy to `72cr, led by higher interest, depreciation and tax expenses during the quarter. Outlook and valuation: We revise upwards our earnings estimates for FY2013/14E at the standalone level, led by the likely improvement in OEM demand as well as replacement segments and stable raw-material prices. We expect APTY to deliver a healthy revenue CAGR of 11.8% over FY201214E, led by production ramp-up at Chennai facility and revival in South Africa operations. We expect the companys operating margin to improve in FY2013E, driven by gradual softening of raw-material prices. At `82, APTY is trading at attractive levels of 6.1x FY2014E earnings. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `100.

Net sales up 28.2% yoy on a 14% yoy increase in volumes: On a standalone basis, APTY registered strong top-line growth of 28.2% yoy (7.9% qoq) to `2,259cr, backed by a strong 14% yoy increase each in volumes and net average realization, respectively. Volume growth was led by strong OEM demand during the quarter due to which proportion of OEM sales increased to ~34%.

Operating margin improves to 9.6%: APTY reported a 200bp yoy (166bp qoq) expansion in operating margin to 9.6%, driven largely on account of easing raw-material cost pressures, primarily natural rubber, and decline in other expenditure. While average natural rubber cost declined by 6.7% sequentially, cost of other raw materials such as NTC and carbon black increased due to INR depreciation. Raw-material to net sales ratio witnessed a 60bp yoy contraction and stood at 74.7%. As a result, operating profit jumped by 61.9% yoy (29.5% qoq) to `217cr during the quarter. Margin expansion, to some extent, was restricted due to unfavorable product mix (in favor of OEM).

Standalone net profit up 9.2% yoy: Net profit for the quarter witnessed modest 9.2% yoy (69.7% qoq) growth to `72cr despite strong growth in operating profit. This can be attributed to higher interest (up 40.2% yoy) and depreciation expense (up 34.4% yoy), led by ramping up of Chennai facility. Further, lower other income (down yoy) and high tax rate (31.5% in 4QFY2012) restricted the companys profitability during the quarter. Exhibit 6: Net profit up 9.2% yoy

Consolidated performance: For 4QFY2012, APTY registered strong net sales growth of 18.4% yoy (flat qoq) to `3,231cr, driven by 8.8% yoy growth each in total volumes and net average realization. Indian operations were the prime growth driver, with total sales increasing by 28.2% yoy, driven by 14% growth each in volumes and net average realization. While European operations witnessed slightly lower-than-expected growth of 8.7% yoy, poor performance in South Africa impacted the overall performance. South Africa operations witnessed an 18% yoy decline in volumes, led by poor demand, higher imports and on account of plant shutdown due to national as well as company-specific issues. On the operating front, the companys margin expanded by 110bp sequentially (flat on yoy basis) to 11.1%, mainly due to margin improvement in the domestic business (EBITDA margin improved by 200bp yoy and 160bp sequentially), led by a decline in raw-material expenses. However, weak performance in South Africa nullified the positive impact of strong domestic performance. While South Africa operations reported operating loss largely due to a decline in volumes, Europe operations witnessed a 200bp margin contraction sequentially during the quarter. Net profit declined by 18.6% yoy to `157cr mainly on account of higher interest

(up 31.5%) and depreciation (up 22.1%) expense and lower other income (down 37%). Further, higher tax rate (24.6% as against 8.4% in 4QFY2011) impacted the companys bottom line negatively.
Investment arguments
Tyre industry set for a structural shift: Currently, manufacturing radial tyres is far more capital intensive than manufacturing cross-ply tyres. Investment required for radial tyres per tpd is 3.2x that of cross-ply tyres at `6.1cr/tpd. On the other hand, the selling price of radial tyres is ~20% higher than that of cross-ply tyres. Thus, to generate similar RoCE and RoE, tyre companies would need to earn EBITDA margin of ~21% compared to ~9% earned on cross-ply tyres, considering the difference in capital requirements and the consequent impact on asset turnover, interest cost and depreciation. Therefore, higher capital requirements will help protect margins from upward-bound input costs, as the business model evolves bearing in mind final RoEs rather than margins. With the sector set for a structural shift and the apparent pricing flexibility, RoCE and RoE of tyre manufacturers are expected to improve going forward. Riding on high domestic demand: The Indian tyre industry is witnessing strong demand from the replacement as well as OEM markets, keeping capacities running at peak. APTY is poised to achieve market leadership on the back of increasing production from 820tpd in FY2010 to ~1,300tpd in 1HFY2013E. Strategic overseas investment offers synergies in the long term: Acquisitions done by the company in the past two-three years are increasingly contributing to its revenue. We estimate Vredestein Banden combined with Dunlop SA to contribute close to 35% to the companys overall consolidated revenue, helping it to further strengthen its foothold in the Indian tyre industry. Acquisitions offer synergies by way of access to radial tyre technology, wider product portfolio and presence in newer geographies.
We remain positive on the tyre industry in view of the structural shift that the industry is witnessing and due to softening raw-material prices, mainly natural rubber. We expect the company to deliver a healthy revenue CAGR of 11.8% over FY201214E, led by production ramp-up at Chennai facility and revival in South Africa operations. We expect the companys operating margin to improve in FY2013E, driven by gradual softening of raw-material prices.
At `82, APTY is trading at attractive levels of 6.1x FY2014E earnings. We maintain our Buy rating on the stock with a target price of `100. Key downside risks to our call: A sharp rise in input costs from current levels, slower growth in international business and lower-than-anticipated domestic replacement demand pose downside risks to our estimates.
