Key Highlights: ü Hero Honda continues to lead the motorcycle market with a strong presence in economy and executive segment. Company leads by more than a million bikes ahead of the nearest competitor in India. ü Hero Honda diversifies from traditional motorcycle manufacturer to Scooter manufacturer. Company launched the first scooter in February 2006 called Pleasure 110cc priced at Rs. 36,240. ü Company will face margin pressure due to change in Product Mix leading to lower realization and increasing raw material prices. ü Company’s Financial Performance is in line with the industry during 2005-06. Company reported a sales growth of 17% on a YoY basis and 19% earnings growth for 2005-06. ü Company plans to launch eight new models during the current financial year including the variant. The line up will include a variant of Glamour, which will be fitted with fuel injection system. ü The company plans to set up a new plant in Jaipur with an investment of Rs. 300-320 Crs having initial capacity of 5 lakh units and can go up to 10 lakh units. The company has already ramped up capacity at its existing facility at Gurgaon and Dharuhera by around 4,50,000 thereby raising capacity to 3.2-mln units to meet its demand during the year. ü Hero Honda faces tough competition from key players in the industry. ü Growing Presence of HMSI’s (100% Subsidiary of Honda technological partner) is bound to impact Hero Honda Sales and profitability. Attractive Valuations: Hero Honda continues to lead the motorcycle segment and has forayed into the scooter segment to diversify its product profile. We see a fair value for the company at Rs. 802 per share on DCF basis (WACC–13%, Terminal growth – 2.5%) and PE multiple of 12.59X 2008E. We recommend a book profit on every upside.

Top form:
The Indian two-wheeler industry is expected to remain in top gear. The key drivers are buoyant economy, increasing rural income, higher replacement demand, enhancing penetration, increasing distribution reach, rising oil prices, increasing competition (new models) and a greater headway in the export market (India being the No 1 two wheeler manufacturer in the world). We expect the Two-wheeler industry to grow at roughly 15% during the financial year 2006-07. This would be on account of motorcycle segment that is expected to grow at a rate of 18%. We believe that the motorcycle segment has an immense growth potential ü Stiff competition in the growing motorcycle segment resulting in expanded markets. Many new foreign players have entered into the market like Honda Motorcycle and Scooters India ltd and Suzuki have entered the market with new technology, different pricing options, value added features and services, resulting into a wider choice to the consumer. ü Price gap between the motorcycle and scooters/moped has narrowed down due to high cost involved in emission norms. ü Exports are expected to grow fastest in the motorcycle segment as 93% of the world two-wheeler market that is of motorcycles.
Outlook:
We believe that the players with strong distribution network, high volume and the capability to scale up their operations to meet the emerging domestic demand as well as export commitments along with the right kind of product mix would be the key beneficiaries in the medium term.

Hero Honda launched the 125-cc Glamour on June 27, 06 with the new technology and priced it at Rs 49,990 or Rs 5,500 more than the same model with carburettor. The increase in price is steep and is warranted by other new features such as the fuel mileage indicator. Bajaj Auto is planning to introduce it in its high-end version Pulsar. With a similar technology. The motorcycle in which Bajaj Auto will introduce this technology is likely to be the 230cc, which is high end product and hence the additional cost of technology will be lower as a percentage to total price in comparison to Hero Honda’s Glamour.
Capex Plans:
The company is making an investment of around Rs13 Cr. to increase the capacity at its existing units at Gurgaon and Dharuhera in Haryana by 4.5 lakh vehicles at each plant. Expansions plan of 4,50,000 units at Gurgaon at an investment of Rs 47 crore have already been completed. And the expansion of additional 4,50,000 units is underway at Dharuhera plant at an investment of Rs 96 crore, which would be operational by August 2006.

Hero Honda diversifies from traditional high margin motorcycle manufacturer to Scooter manufacturer to diversify its product profile across the segments. However this may bring down the company’s overall margins. Strong Vendor base:
Hero Honda has a national network of 256 vendors including 69 ancillaries forming the backbone of the company’s plant operation. The company has an access to 70% of its materials (in value terms) by maintaining zero inventory levels.
Tough Competition from the technological Partner:
Hero Honda will face tough competition from Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Ltd 100% Subsidiary of Honda (Technological Partner). As per our analysis we believe that Hero Honda and HMSI are sharing Market Share together from time to time. We believe that growing presence of HMSI in the two wheeler industry is bound to hit the profitability and growth of Hero Honda

Valuation on basis of PE Multiple: Buoyant economy, increasing rural income, higher replacement demand, enhancing penetration, increasing distribution reach, rising oil prices, increasing competition (new models) and a greater headway in the export market (India being the No 1 two wheeler manufacturer in the world) will lead to increasing demand for the two wheelers. We recommend a fair value of 802 for the stock on 12.59X 2008E on the basis that the company will grow inline with the industry on a future date.
