Company Overview

Companys Financial Performance


The year 2008-09 witnessed a multiplicity of challenges, coming together at the same time. In most economic cycles, commodity prices generally move in tandem with the demand growth scenario. This year, inflation control measures by the government and lack of retail financing impacted the revenues of vehicle manufacturers, even when the commodity prices were at their lifetime high. Adverse foreign exchange movements also had a substantial impact on the company as the yen appreciated by almost 30% against the rupee in a years time and this raised the cost of the companys imports. The measures taken by the Government of India for providing the liquidity and improving the customer sentiments through the policy cuts, cenvat rate reduction in the later part of the year helped in mitigating the adverse impact of these factors. With the focused efforts in the market and cost and operational efficiencies, the company managed to generate net sales of Rs 203,583 million in FY 0809 as compared with Rs 178,603 million in FY 0708 showing growth of 14.0% Sales of vehicles in the domestic market increased to 722,144 as compared to 711,818 in the previous year showing a growth of 1.5%. Exports of vehicles grew at an impressive rate of 32% from 53,024 to 70,023 in the current year. The overall growth was 3.6% which was achieved in spite of the difficult economic and market conditions prevailing particularly in the latter half of the year due to the global financial and economic crisis which did not spare the Indian economy. The Company made all out efforts to mitigate this impact undertaking measures to curtail cost in various areas of its business operations. Earnings before depreciation, interest, tax and amortization (EBDITA) stood at Rs. 24,333 million against Rs. 31,308 million in the previous year. Market share went up from 45.9% to 46.5% in passenger vehicles overall.

Performance Overview (2008 2009)


Industry Overview
The financial year 2008-09 witnessed unprecedented fluctuation in the macroeconomic environment both globally and in India. The Indian economy was less affected and managed to grow well above 6%. Within the year, there was a huge swing in business and consumption sentiment with the growth rates steeply declining in the second and third quarters and then showing some recovery in the fourth quarter. Car loans, which are a critical growth driver for the industry, saw a major curtailment by banks and finance companies, owing to a liquidity crunch and court directives against forced repossession of financed assets during default. Most commodity prices went up and this hurt the profits of manufacturing businesses and disposable incomes of households alike. The news of gloom and doom in the global economy also depressed consumer sentiment and customers adopted a 'wait and watch' approach before making discretionary purchases. All these factors hit the passenger vehicle industry severely and it could barely manage to remain flat after six years of robust growth.

INTERPRETATION

A comparative income statement shows the operating results for a number of accounting periods so that changes in data in terms of money and percentage from one period to another may be known. Comparative income statement is prepared with the objective to analyse the income and expenditure for two or more years. And to review the business operations of the last year and its likely effect on the current years operations. Now having a look at the comparative income statement of the company for the year 2008 -2009 we note that the gross sales of the company increased by Rs 21359 which accounted for a rise by 10.20%. A decrease in the value of excise duty was observed for 2008 to 2009 which accounted for 11.72%. this caused net sales to increase to Rs 203583 ie 13.99% increase. The income from services recorded an increase of Rs 211 in absolute terms whereas it was 27.80% in percentage terms. Other incomes also rose by 19.28%. Thus the overall change in incomes was found to be 14.28%.

Maruti Suzuki, the leader in the passenger car segment has seen volatility in the mix of debt and equity capital of company over the last 5 years. Sales of the company have increased continuously during the last decade. Its effect can be seen from the rise in Profit Before Interest and Tax Margin (PBT). There is a fall in PBT in the last year because of a rise in operating expense of the company. Most of the funding requirements of the company were done by the internal accruals which were created through continuous profits. Maruti Suzuki will maintain its strong business and financial risk profiles on the back of the healthy cash generation and good liquidity. The company is expected to sustain its dominant position in the domestic passenger car segment, given its large product portfolio. Marutis financial risk profile is a also expected to remain comfortable, with incremental capital expenditure being funded entirely through internal sources. Though the company has a history of dependence on the internal funds, it has capability of raising debt if required for funding. Seeing to its good debt equity, there is a chance for the company to acquire debt for funds required for investment opportunity. Interest coverage ratio is also to be paid on borrowed amount.

KEY DRIVERS FOR GROWTH


With a 14 per cent return over the past year, the Maruti Suzuki stock has outperformed the BSE Auto index (17 per cent decline) and has turned out to be one of the best defensive picks. At Rs 848, the stock discounts its four quarter earnings by 19 times. Strong performance has pushed its valuation to a premium over the entire auto pack (about 17 times), limiting possible upside over the medium term. However, shareholders of the company can remain invested for its strong earnings visibility. With value-for-money offerings in the sedan segment and price increases to offset input costs, the companys top-line for 2008-09 registered a growth of 13 per cent, beating the automobile slowdown. However, net profits have disappointed, declining by 30 per cent due to higher material costs, a change in depreciation policy and forex losses. With sustained sales growth in April 2009, planned launches and good export prospects, the company appears well-placed to deliver continued sales growth this year. Easing margin pressures, as commodity price declines filter in, suggest that the company is on track to deliver better earnings performance.

STRONG PRODUCT PORTFOLIO


Marutis key advantage lies in its focus on the passenger vehicle segment, which has weathered the slowdown better than commercial vehicles. Products at almost every price point Alto, WagonR, Zen Estilo, Swift and A-Star make the company a market leader in the hatchbacks (A2) segment. Intense competition and tight credit availability that prevailed for most of last year muted its sales growth in this space to 2.4 per cent. But with credit crunch easing out, this segment has shown better growth since the beginning of 2009 (10 per cent increase in sales between December 2008 and April

2009). Maruti has enlarged its market share in this segment to 59 per cent this year as against 53 per cent last year. Swift and the recently launched A-Star have helped these gains. The launch of Ritz this week may strengthen Marutis position in the hatchback market, as it occupies a price point between Swift and A-Star. While the hatchback segment witnessed a slowdown last year, it is the sedan or the A3 segment that has delivered surprising growth for Maruti. Driven by launches of SX4 and Swift DZire (the sedan version of Swift), this segment has grown by 53.9 per cent. The sedans have been less vulnerable to the credit crunch, given that a higher proportion of purchases is funded by cash. The Sixth Pay Commission revision has also aided cash purchases in this segment. Concerns however remain on Marutis entry-level models such as Maruti 800 and Alto. Preferred by the urban middle-class, these cars may face challenges in 11 cities, including Delhi, Mumbai Kolkata and Chennai, after a change in emission norms to Bharat Stage IV mandated by October 2009. The company may have to either re-engineer these versions or phase them out in these cities to meet the new norms. As of now, there is not much clarity about what it plans to do in this regard. The Tatas Rs 1 lakh car, the Nano, has also been perceived as a threat to Marutis entry level models. About 50 per cent of the bookings for the Nano are estimated to be for its high-end variants which are relatively close to Maruti 800 and Alto in terms of performance. With the on-road price differential (in Delhi) of about Rs 35,000-Rs 50,000 between Marutis entry-level models and Nanos high-end version, competition from this source cannot be ruled out.

MIGHTY EXPORT GROUND


Domestic sales apart, exports too are seen as a key growth driver for Maruti over the next couple of years. Engineered to suit European standards, A-Star has lifted Marutis exports by 32 per cent for FY09. Exports accounted for 10 per cent of the companys sales volumes in the last fiscal. Maruti has a contract with Nissan to manufacture 50,000 of A-Star under the Pixo label in Europe and a tie-up with Suzuki to ship 10,000 units of the car to Latin America, Algeria, Australia and some African nations. Favourable incentives offered by the European countries, for fuel-efficient small cars to replace the older ones, give ample room for the company to expand its export volumes. Maruti has reached 38 per cent of its export target (two lakh units by fiscal year 2010-11) so far. The launch of Ritz (another model that may suit European requirements), could also hold potential.

FINANCIAL SCORECARD
The year 2008-09 ended with a sales growth of 13 per cent, while total volumes grew by 3.6 per cent. Excise duty cuts aided sales margins.

High-cost pressures from some raw materials such as steel, aluminium alloys and rubber, and a change in product mix in favour of diesel variants (particularly in Swift and DZire), resulted in the operating profits declining by 48 per cent on a year-on-year basis. The net profits shrank by 30 per cent.
Forex losses incurred in FY-09 may be viewed as a one-off profits dampener since they were on account of import contracts for raw materials. The company has been slow to benefit from softened commodity prices since it has entered into long-term agreements for raw materials.

The effect of lower input costs will trickle in by the first quarter of this fiscal. With initiatives to localise vendors, operating profits are expected to grow by 20-30 per cent in 2010-11. On a sequential basis, the company has seen 33 per cent increase in sales volume and a 19 per cent increase in net profits for the March 2009 quarter.

Try to enter in diesel segment


Maruti Suzuki is now looking to be an aggressive player in the diesel segment, a category which is dominated by Tata Motors. After the success of the Swift hatchback and the Dzire sedan in the diesel variant, the company is hoping to replicate this success in its upcoming model Ritz. To meet the growing demand for the diesel variants in its models, it is increasing the engine capacity by one lakh units as part of its Rs 9,000-crore expansion plan. This will then take its total production capacity for diesel engines to 3 lakh units by March 2010. The capacity expansion is to reduce the long waiting period on its diesel models. Maruti also hopes to divert some of its export capacity in diesel engines for the domestic market. These engines used to earlier be exported to Hungary, but the demand in that market has decreased now. Currently, the Swift petrol model has a waiting period of 2-3 weeks. But the diesel variants of both Swift and Dzire have a waiting period of 3-5 months. The Swift hatchback sells about 9,00010,000 units a month and Dzire too sells about 6,000-8,000 units. Of this, the ratio of diesel sales versus petrol is 70:30. The Ritz, set to be launched later this week, and built on the Swift platform, will sport a 1.3-litre diesel engine. We are trying to further increase capacity of diesel engines. We can tweak production based on demand, said Mr Shashank Srivastava, Chief General Manager, Marketing, Maruti Suzuki. Last year, the company exported 20,000 units of engines to Hungary. But with demand in the European market low, we will be able to use some of that capacity for the domestic market, said Mr I.V. Rao, Executive Officer, Research and Development at Maruti Suzuki. When asked how many units of Ritz diesel variant the company intends to sell, Mr Srivastava said, We would like the ratio of 70 and 30 between diesel and petrol like we have had for the Swift.

The company did not specify by how much it will be able to lower the waiting period of its diesel variants with the increased capacity expansion
