We rate Exide Industries Ltd (Exide) a BUY. Our rating underpins the company’s strong

distribution network, after-sales services, usage of products in different sectors, backward

integration, R&D & technological collaboration. However, fierce competition from the

unorganized players impedes our optimism a bit.

Investment Highlights

Wide Distribution Channels, After Sales Services and Brand Recall enhance overall growth.

Exide enjoys a dominant presence in domestic as well as international markets. In addition to

that, company’s performance is likely to be supported by strong brand recall and after sales

services.

R&D and Technological Collaborations give competitive advantage. By the skilled workforce,

R&D and Technological collaborations with foreign companies, Exide has bagged some patents

for new processes and grid structures like design patent on 75D31R/95D31RMF batteries, leak

resistant automotive battery, and method of manufacturing lead based alloy that leads to the

competitive advantage.

Wide usage of battery in different sectors boost the top line growth. Apart from automotive

sector, Exide battery is used in power back up including inverters, UPS, base station in

telecom tower, forklift and in railways for signaling, lighting of coach which has expected

18% CAGR growth prospect over FY2011-2013.

Backward Integration along with capacity addition in two lead smelters improve margins.

Acquisition of two lead smelters such as Chloride Metals and Leadage Alloys India reduce

dependency on imported lead that is likely to improve margins. In addition to that, Exide is

planning to increase the overall capacity of lead smelters from 96,000 MTPA to 140.000

Industry Overview

India’s automotive component industry has emerged as an important segment of the overall

economy following the deregulation policies undertaken in early 1990s. The real growth

momentum for the industry came in 1970s as demand for cars and tractors began to increase.

The overall battery market is more than ` 10,000 crores and it has grown during 2005-2010 at

a rate of 30% with average profit of 50% every year due to growing demand in automotive

sector. The target market for battery industry is mainly categorized into two segments-

Automotive and Industrial. During 2008-2010, the organized battery sector has grown at

10.2%, 18.8% rate in auto and industrial segment respectively. Automotive segment is further

sub divided into OEM and replacement market. The growth of OEM market is directly

proportionate to the growth of automobile industry. Due to the growing economy, increasing

disposable income, the automobile industry is growing 21.3% on YoY basis in the month of

February. On the other hand, battery in any vehicle has been replaced on an average of once

in two or three years. The industrial battery segment includes infrastructure, power, telecom

and railways. The high growth in the UPS and inverter application has enabled the battery

industry to post high growth in going forward. With the time, battery industry is graduating

towards the world class technology. By implementing TQM, TPM and Six Sigma, the battery

industry not only attracts a large number of foreign car makers but also keep the Chinese

competitors at bay.

Investment Thesis

Exide is a leading lead acid battery manufacturer and enjoying 70% market share in

automotive OEM, replacement and UPS segment. The company reported a commendable

performance over the last five years. Exide’s top line increased at a Compounded Annual

Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.05% over FY2006-10 period and its Earnings before Interest,

Depreciation, Tax, and Amortization (EBIDTA) grew at a CAGR of 33.88% whereas its

Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) jumped at an annual run rate of 39.10% over the same

period. Although the company reported a subdued performance in the last two quarters due to

capacity constraint, we expect the company report good performance through its capacity

addition in both lead smelters and battery manufacturing plants. Furthermore, the distribution

network, after sales services, R&D and Technical collaborations are likely to boost the

performance.

Exhibit 9. Revenue, EBITDA & Net Profit (In `Mn)

Source: Company Data, Microsec Research

A detailed explanation of our key investment rational for the company is as follows:

Strong Distribution Channels, after sales services and Brand recall enhance overall growth

With the increasing proportion of costly vehicles and quality conscious people, the number of

brand oriented people has increased. In addition to that battery manufacturers can able to get

high margins and greater sales stability from the replacement segment, therefore strong

distribution channel, after sales services can be the key factors to enhance brand equity as well

as overall growth. Exide sells its products under the brand name of EXIDE, SF, SONIC,

Standard Furukawa in the domestic market and in the international markets, it sells battery

brands of DYNEX, INDEX and SONIC.

holders in Engineering with a broad spectrum of experience. The company has developed the

Nano car battery, products for Hyundai’s i20 model, long life batteries for inverter, solar

applications and motorcycle based on advanced calcium technology. With the continuous

research efforts, Exide has bagged some patents for new processes and grid structures such as

design patent on 75D31R/95 D 31 RMF batteries, leak resistant automotive battery, and

method of manufacturing lead based alloy. With the growing price of lead, the main focus of

the company is to find out the lead alternatives. To protect the automotive batteries from high

temperature and rough roads in tropical countries like India, Exide has focused on developing

high temperature endurance and resistance to vibration and bumps batteries.

Furthermore, to improve the manufacturing technology, Exide has entered into strategic and

technical collaboration with the following companies.

Exhibit 12. Collaborations for Technological Support

Wide usage of battery in different sectors boost the top line growth

The current GDP growth is 9% and it is expected that India is going to be one of the fastest

growing economies in the world in the next decade. In addition to that, India is fast emerging

global manufacturing hub for the small cars. A number of global auto makers have entered the

Indian market in recent year to ride the Indian growth story. Most of these companies are not

only looking to cater the Indian market demand but also make it their primary export hub.

This is likely to act as a multiplier force for the auto component makers over the next several

years. On the other hand, Industrial battery segment such as power back up, telecom tower,

railways, forklift, and air condition contributes 38% in the revenue of Exide Industries. This is

likely to grow at an explosive rate on the back of the rapid growth in rural and semi urban

areas and sustained power deficit that boost the demand of inverters in hospitals, hotels,

beauty parlor and in other office premises. In railways, these batteries are used for signaling,

lighting of coach. Indian railways is planning to add 25,000 kms of new lines by 2020. All of

these are likely to improve top line growth of Exide.

Backward Integration along with capacity addition improve margins

The key raw material for Exide is lead which is 80% of the total raw materials. According to

the Bloomberg data, now lead is ruling around $2550 a ton and it ranged between $851 per

ton to $3890.15 per ton during the time span of 2006 to 2011. So to reduce the volatility of

earning, Exide acquired 100% stake in Chloride Metals in 2007 and 51% stake in Leadage

Alloys India in 2008 which is increased to 100% in 2010. Through these acquisitions, the

company not only reduces dependency on imported lead, save import duty around 5% but also

get price advantage which is 8% to 10% cheaper than imported lead which leads to improve

EBITDA margin. Recently 45% of lead requirement is coming from these two smelters which

are likely to be increased to 70% by FY 2013. To increase the lead consumption from the

acquired smelters, Exide is planning to increase the overall capacity from 96,000 MTPA to

140,000 MTPA by FY 2012.

By using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the company’s cost of equity stood at 11.12%

with the value of 8% Risk Free Rate, 4.11% Market Risk Premium and Beta of 0.76x. For debt,

we assigned post tax cost of 6.09%. Coupled with these costs and debt to Equity ratio of 0.12x,

we arrived at WACC of 10.57%. Furthermore, we assumed a terminal growth rate of 2.5% for

the stock post FY2015. With these, we arrived at a target price of `174 which translates

24.58% upside over its current stock price of `140.05. The sensitivity of our target price

towards various levels of WACC and terminal growth rate is described as follows:

Risks

Exide is looking good for long term investment due to huge demand of its products from

different segments, expected capacity expansion in both lead smelters and manufacturing

plants. However, occurrence of factors such as competition from unorganized players, slow

down in the targeted business sectors due to increasing interest rate, fuel price may negatively

affect Exide’s performance.
