XIDE INDUSTRIES LTD HOLD
de Industries Ltd (EIL) is the largest lead-acid storage battery producing company in India. It
nufactures batteries and caters to automobile, industrial and submarine sectors and has
nufacturing plants in India with capacity of 35mn units.
EIL is better placed to capture the auto sector growth in future as it derives around 64% of the
revenue from auto segment. Moreover, the company is a market leader in automotive batteries with
market share of 72% and 71% in automotive and motorcycle batteries in OEM segment respectively.
In FY11, the company has lost the OEM battery market share due to capacity constraints. However it
has regained the lost market share with OEM battery market share increasing to 72% in FY12 from
65% in FY11. Further due to capacity addition by 7% in FY13, the company is expected to benefit
from increased market share. Being a market leader in 2W batteries, EIL is expected to benefit from
the increased demand of 2W due to expected rise in fuel price and efficiency.In industrial battery segment, the demand is expected to be healthy due to massive investment in
infrastructure planned by government including modernization of railways, commissioning of
nuclear plants, etc
The company is better placed to offset the rise in input cost as it has re-negotiated the selling
contract (with price escalation clause) with most of the sellers and has linked the battery selling price
to lead price.
EIL is expected to benefit from the falling LME lead price. From a peak of USD 2,994 a tonne in April
2011, international lead prices have eased to USD 2,090, which should result in a better operating
margin in the upcoming quarters and a brighter outlook for FY12-13.
sed on a consolidated FY14 P/E multiple of 19, the fair value for the company works out to Rs.

to Segment: EIL is the market leader in automotive batteries with market share of 72% and 71% in automotive and
torcycle batteries in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) segment respectively. The company has improved the
rket share in auto segment in FY12 from releasing capacity constraints. Due to strong in-house R&D and technical
laboration from foreign companies, EIL is a preferred supplier for almost all the vehicle manufacturers in India. The
mpany is planning to increase its market share going forward through re-organizing its marketing and distribution set-up.
e company follows hubs and spokes model through which it is able to reach vast number of customers in tier-2 and tier-3es. During FY12, the company has increased its dealer/ distribution network to 16,000 dealers and is presently operating
m 204 locations and has plans to increase its presence in more than 250 cities within next 18 months. EIL has increased
market share in replacement market from 25% to 27% in Q4FY12. Going forward, it is expected that market share in
lacement market is expected to improve gradually due to its vast marketing and distribution set up.
dustrial Segment: In this segment, EIL provides storage batteries for power back-up followed by infrastructure sector like
ways, telecom, power etc. The company is the second largest player in terms of market share after Amara Raja Batteries
(ARBL). This segment is expected to do well in the upcoming quarters mainly due to higher supply demand mismatch in
ian power sector, increase in hydro carbon fuel prices and increased demand of smaller UPS batteries arising from rise in
mputer penetration.
bmarine Segment: This segments share in overall battery sales volume is minuscule at around 1% and during FY12, the
es of submarine batteries amounted to Rs. 250mn. EIL is the sole supplier of submarine batteries to the Indian Navy and is
o an accredited supplier to the Admiralty Ship Yard, Russia.

SK & CONCERNexpected movement in LME lead price and USD-Rupee currency rates: EIL sources its 50% lead requirement from its
ptive lead smelter and rest from spot/ import market. Lower lead prices will be positive for EIL as this will help in improving
profitability. Over the past one year, the LME lead price has declined by 40% but its gains was offset by sharp depreciation
Rupee against USD.
ability to regain lost market share: In FY11, EIL has lost market share in auto battery segment due to capacity constraints.
FY12, the company has recovered some of the lost market share by improving its operating efficiency and product pricing.
wever due to competition, pricing war is expected to continue or sustain market share affecting profitability of companies.
or macro economics factors: As EIL generated 65% of the revenue from auto sector, whose growth is very much prone to
erest rate, fuel cost etc. in FY12, the auto sector growth was lower as compared to FY11 due to poor macro economics
tors. Further deterioration in macro factors will be negative for auto sector and would severely affect auto battery sector.

Lower auto segrowth wseverely affect battery manufactu
DUSTRY OVERVIEWThe domestic battery industry suffered a definite set-back during FY12. Apart from the automobile sector, telecom,
astructure and export sectors continued to be sluggish. Though automobile sector had a higher growth towards the end
the financial year but it was quite modest compared to the rapid rate of growth achieved in FY11. Inflationary pressures,
e in the price of petrol and high cost of borrowings generally depressed the overall demand generation and were
trumental for the lower growth. As per the current indications, the automobile industry is poised for challenging times with
certainties on the demand side in the upcoming months, which hopefully is only a short term phenomenon. We believe
t the total automobile market is expected to grow by double digits annually for the next 5 years.
For industrial battery segment, the recurring power shortages is on the top of demand versus supply gap in grid
wer and provides a robust demand for home UPS batteries in future. Further, in spite of delays in commissioning or
stponement of projects, infrastructure continues to be a major focus area for the government. Modernization of railways
d setting-up of nuclear power plants, though encountering initial teething problems, is inevitable in the years to come. All
se developments should definitely lead to high demand for the local battery industry.
With inflation showing a declining trend and with expected further reduction in the interest rates, there should be
erall buoyancy and as far as the battery industry is concerned, the future growth prospects should be positive. The high
wth rate achieved by the automotive industry is expected to continue, at least with some moderations. As stated earlier,
automotive industry is estimated on an average to have a double digit growth annually for the next five years. Several
astructure sectors like power, coal, etc., are on an upward swing and with the massive investments on infrastructure
nned by the government, including modernization of railways and commissioning of nuclear power plants etc the
ustrial battery business should also continue to have better prospects. The burgeoning middle class with higher
posable incomes and an appetite for aspirational life styles would lead to higher demand, where technologically superior
ducts would be more sought after than cheaper alternatives. Due to strict pollution control norms being introduced with
h passing month, the incremental battery demand will gravitate towards the players in the organized sector.

NANCIAL PERFORMANCEIndia's largest lead battery manufacturer EIL has beaten the market expectations with a lower than expected fall
net profit by 7% Y-o-Y to Rs. 1.5bn in June 2012 quarter. Fall in net profit is attributed largely to spike in raw material costs
e to sharp rupee depreciation and forex loss, lower other income due to nil dividends from subsidiaries and higher
preciation cost.
The top-line grew by 24% Y-o-Y to Rs. 15.5bn aided by healthy sales in motorcycle and industrial battery divisions.
e operating profit margin (EBITDA margin) fell by 280bps Y-o-Y largely hindered by sharp rupee depreciation despite
ernational lead prices being stable. In effect the operating profit (EBITDA) grew by only 5% Y-o-Y to Rs. 2.4bn.
The profit before tax fell 4% Y-o-Y to Rs. 2.1bn. The other income crashed by notable 52% Y-o-Y to Rs. 0.1bn on
ount of receiving nil dividend from subsidiaries in June 2012 quarter compared to dividend income of Rs. 0.2bn received
une 2011 quarter. The depreciation cost grew by 17% Y-o-Y to Rs. 0.3bn while it incurred forex loss of Rs. 0.1bn (against
ex gain in June 2011 quarter). Only saving grace was 4% Y-o-Y fall in interest cost to Rs. 0.1bn. The net profit settled with
Y-o-Y fall to Rs. 1.5bn due to 200bps hike in effective tax rate.
