After a revival in growth in H1FY17, NRB Bearings Ltd (NRB) is poised to grow at a healthy

12.5% CAGR over the next two years, aided by strong growth in domestic automobile sales

and the company’s foray into new export markets. Auto production growth, which fell in FY16

(2% vs 8% in FY15), has picked up in H1FY17, and is expected to further accelerate due to a

revival in consumption-related spending, despite the adverse short-term impact of

demonetisation. Being an established player, NRB is well-placed to tap into this growth

potential. Within exports, fall in euro and delay in orders from clients in Europe resulted in a

11% fall in export revenues. With the company’s focus on diversifying into fast-growing

geographies and expanding its client base, we expect export growth to revive. We maintain

our fundamental grade of 4/5.

Robust domestic automobile growth to drive NRB’s OEM segment

Automobile production posted robust growth of 11.8% y-o-y in H1FY17 to 14 mn units. While

demonetization is likely to impact rural demand in the short run, normal monsoon and

sufficient reservoir levels across the country, are likely to aid growth over the next two-three

quarters. This is likely to translate into healthy demand for two-wheelers (which account for

48% of domestic OEM sales), tractors and light-commercial vehicles. With presence across

major automobile segments, and a diversified client base, NRB is expected to be a key

beneficiary. We expect its domestic OEM-led revenue to grow at a 13% CAGR over FY16-

FY19E.

Geographical diversification to aid export growth over FY16-FY19E

With the export revenue impacted by a weak euro, the company is looking to expand its

geographical presence, by focusing on fast-growing markets in South America, and to lower

its dependence on Europe. We believe these initiatives, coupled with a pick-up in orders from

the existing clients after the Volkswagen scandal, would help it register healthy growth in

exports. We forecast its export revenue to grow at a 10% CAGR over FY16-18E. However,

political uncertainty over Brexit and a slowdown in the key Eurozone economies remain

monitorables.

EBITDA margin to expand to 17.7% by FY18

A steep 200 bps rise in employee cost as a percentage of sales, coupled with partly idle

capacity due to a delayed offtake by a few export clients, led to a 210 bps contraction in

EBITDA margin in FY16. Going forward, the expected pick up in domestic and export

volumes is expected to result in margin expansion owing to operating leverage. We forecast

the EBITDA margin to expand 90 bps to 17.7% by FY18.

Valuations: We raise our fair value estimate to ₹143

We lower our FY17 and FY18 projections to factor in the near term impact of demonetisation.

However, we also lower our cost of equity assumption by 100 bps factoring in the fall in

interest rates and rolled forwarded valuation by one year to FY18. Consequently, we raise our

DCF-based fair value to ₹143. At the current market price of ₹107, the valuation grade is 5/5.

Grading rationale

Robust growth in domestic automobile production, coupled

with an entry into new export markets, to drive growth

NRB is expected to be a key beneficiary of robust automobile growth, with 66% of its

revenue derived from the domestic OEM segment. After a lacklustre FY16, automobile

production posted a strong 11.8% y-o-y growth in H1FY17 to ~14 mn units, led by two-

wheelers (2W), passenger vehicles (cars and utility vehicles) and tractors. This trend is

likely to accelerate with the expected pick-up in consumption-related spending. With

presence across major automobile segments, and a diversified client base, NRB is well-

placed to tap into this growth potential.

Further, the company’s planned foray into fast-growing export markets and its focus on

diversifying the client base are expected to revive export growth over the next couple of

years. Based on these factors, we forecast revenue to grow at a 11.4% CAGR over FY16-

FY19E

Fall in exports and subdued domestic automobile production

impacted FY16 revenue

A steep fall of 11.4% y-o-y to ₹1,348 mn in exports, coupled with a slowdown across

automobile segments, led to a subdued FY16 for the company, with revenue flat at ₹6,726

mn. India’s automobile production grew at a tepid 2.3% in FY16, compared with 8% in

FY15. Consequently, NRB’s domestic OEM revenue growth slowed to 6.2%, compared

with 12.6% in 2014-15. This was also reflected in its peers’ revenues, with growth falling

below the FY15 levels.

Diversified client base helped in absorbing domestic slump to a

large extent; maintained market share among organized players

Despite tepid growth in automobile production (2.3%), the company was able to post

higher growth of 7.6%, due to a diversified client base across segments. This was mainly

because of higher-than-industry growth posted in the CV and tractor segments (despite a

10% y-o-y fall in tractor production), due to the company’s association with fast-growing

players in these segments. Consequently, the company retained its market share of 12%

in the domestic organised sector.

Domestic OEM segment to grow at a healthy 13% CAGR on

strong automobile demand

While demonetisation is likely to impact rural automobile demand in the short run, we

believe the impact is likely to moderate over the next two-three months. With the expected

pick-up in agricultural output amidst a normal monsoon and sufficient reservoir levels

across the country, revival in rural spending is on the anvil. This is likely to translate into

healthy demand for two-wheelers, tractors and, light and intermediate commercial vehicles.

Further, the implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, coupled

with new model launches by auto majors, is expected to result in a healthy rise in PV sales

in the near term. With the presence across these fast-growing segments (2W – 48 % of

domestic sales, tractors – 11%, CVs - 26%, PVs - 15%), NRB is expected to post a 13%

CAGR in domestic OEM revenue over FY16-19E.

Order delays and lower euro exchange rate impacted exports;

expect foray into new markets to drive growth in FY16-19E

After a period of robust growth (~40% CAGR over FY11-15), NRB’s exports fell 11% in

FY16, because of a slowdown in orders and a fall in Euro-INR exchange rate. As direct

fallout of stagnant growth in developed economies and decelerating growth in key markets,

the company faced slowing orders from its major clients in the European region, including

Renault, Volvo, Daimler Trucks and Audi. Also, major global OEMs were circumspect

about onboarding new suppliers and were reviewing their current procurement policies in

the wake of emission-related violations by Volkswagen. Consequently, the company was

unable to onboard new customers during H2FY16. This also resulted in cost implications,

since a part of the production capacity remained idle, owing to commitments and delayed

offtake by clients. Further, a 6.7% fall in EUR-INR to 72.7 ₹/Euro in FY16, added to the

decline, as a major portion of its export revenue is from Europe.

Management indicated that it plans to expand the company’s geographical presence as

well client base to avoid dependence on Europe. It is looking to make further inroads in the

Americas, in countries which have a fast-growing auto-components industry. We believe,

these initiatives would help NRB diversify its export client base and markets. However, with

Europe currently contributing a major part of its exports, political uncertainty over Brexit

and a slowdown in the key Eurozone economies may impact growth and are thus key

monitorables. We forecast export revenue to grow at 10% CAGR over FY16-19E.

Aftermarket segment growth remains tepid; New initiatives to

yield results only in the long run

NRB’s aftermarket growth has been steady albeit a tepid 3% CAGR over FY11-16. The

segment’s contribution to overall sales declined to 12-13% in FY16 from 18% in FY11. The

company largely caters to the price-sensitive two- and three-wheeler segments, where it

faces stiff competition from several organised players, such as SKF Bearings, FAG

Bearings, Timken India and INA Bearings, in addition to cheaper Chinese imports.

To improve its aftermarket sales, the company is planning to launch a new branding

campaign, with improved packaging and focus on tier-III and rural markets. It also plans to

foray into the tractor segment, which has a relatively shorter bearing-replacement cycle.

However, we expect these initiatives to help NRB gain ground in the long run, given the

high competitive intensity. We expect the company to make gradual inroads into the

segment over the next three years, with revenue growing at a 5.7% CAGR over FY16-19E.

R&D focus helps maintain the competitive edge

The company’s focus on research and development (R&D) through investments in

technology has enabled it to onboard several large automobile manufacturers as clients. It

is a tier-1 supplier to domestic OEMs, such as Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto, Eicher Motors,

Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Ashok Leyland and tier-I/tier-II supplier to global majors,

such as Renault Volvo, ZF group, Daimler Trucks and the Getrag group. Because of to the

customised nature of its products, many clients engage the company right from the product

conceptualisation stage. This has helped the company developed sticky relationships with

clients. Further, the company’s strategic focus on the needle-roller bearing has helped it

maintain leadership in the segment (~70% market share). NRB spent ₹81 mn on R&D

during FY16.

New product forays yet to bear fruit

The company is planning to directly cater to defense and railway-related projects. It has

earlier won an order from Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and

developed a working relationship with the Indian Railways as a tier-II supplier. However,

these initiatives have not yet resulted in significant orders for the company.

Operating margin expected to rise to 18.2% by FY19E

A sharp rise in employee cost – up 200 bps to 18.8% as a percentage of sales – because

of higher provisioning for gratuity and bonus, coupled with partly idle capacity due to

delayed offtake by a few export clients, led to a 210 bps contraction in EBITDA margin to

16.8% in FY16. The expected pick-up in domestic and export volumes is expected to result

in margin expansion due to operating leverage. We forecast EBITDA margin to expand

140 bps to 18.2% by FY19E.

Better operating margin versus peers, but longer working

capital cycle leads to moderate ROCE

NRB’s operating margin (18.4% - average of last five years) is higher than its peers, due to

its better product mix, comprising higher-margin customised products (45% of sales are

from needle-roller bearings), and integrated manufacturing, compared with off-the-shelf

products and trading operations of its peers. However, its products are manufactured in

lower volume due to their specialised nature, with a requirement to maintain a minimum

amount of inventory across its range of stock keep units (SKUs). With a large product

range of more than 500 type of bearings, (SKF in comparison has ~150), this leads to

higher inventory days compared to peers. Consequently, the company has a longer

Key risks

Dependence on domestic OEMs; cyclicality of the industry

NRB derives 66% of revenue from the domestic auto industry, which is cyclical. However,

its presence across various sub-sectors (such as two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four

wheelers and commercial vehicles) mitigates this risk. Though we expect growth in the

auto industry to pick up in H2FY17, a delay could have a negative impact.

Foreign-currency volatility

The company is exposed to foreign-currency volatility through debt and exports (21% of

revenue). Although exports provide a natural hedge to its foreign-currency borrowings, the

risk associated with volatile currency movements persists.

Volatility in raw material prices

Passing on higher raw material costs - an industry-wide phenomenon - to customers is a

challenge. For instance, the company’s inability to pass on the sharp increase in raw

material cost (steel and oil) entirely to its customers led to low profitability in FY09.

Financial outlook

Revenue to record a 11% CAGR to ₹9.3 bn during FY16-19E

We estimate revenue to grow at 11.4% CAGR over FY16-19E. Driven by higher demand in

the key automobile segments (such as two-wheelers, tractors and CVs) over the period,

domestic OEM revenue is expected to grow at a 13% CAGR. Exports are expected to

grow at a healthy two-year CAGR of 10%, aided by client addition across geographies.

EBITDA margin to expand to 18.2% by FY19E

We expect the operating margin to expand 140 bps to 18.2% over the next three years due

to operating leverage benefits stemming from higher volume.

Q2FY17 Results Summary

NRB’s Q2FY17 revenue grew 6.9% y-o-y (lower than our expectations) to ₹1,797 mn.

EBITDA margin contracted by 256 bps y-o-y to 15.8%, owing to higher other expenses as

a percentage of sales (up 338 bps y-o-y). Owing to lower EBITDA, adjusted PAT declined

8.1% y-o-y to ₹164 mn.

Margin declined on account of forex related loss

EBITDA margin contracted by 256 bps y-o-y owing to steep rise in other expenses (up

31% y-o-y). This was mainly because of forex related loss of ₹11mn during Q2FY17,

compared to a forex gain of ₹33 mn in Q2FY16. Higher depreciation and interest expense

(up 15.2% and 11% y-o-y), were offset by higher other income (up 123.6% y-o-y).

Resultantly, adjusted PAT fell 8.1% y-o-y to ₹164 mn, in line with fall in EBITDA.

Management Overview

CRISIL's fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of management

quality, apart from other key factors, such as industry and business prospects, and

financial performance. The board is broad-based; its members have multi-disciplinary

experience, which aids decision-making.

Experienced management

Trilochan Singh Sahney, Executive Chairman, is the founder-promoter of NRB. He has

handed over the operational management to his daughter Harshbeena Zaveri, currently

Managing Director and President. She has almost 26 years of experience in the bearings

industry and spearheaded the company’s foray into design engineering. Under her

leadership, the company set up an R&D centre and increased export sales by tapping

leading global automobile OEMs.

Strong focus on in-house R&D

NRB set up an in-house R&D centre in 2000. This has enabled the company position itself

as a supplier of high-end/critical applications to domestic and global OEMs, offering a wide

product range. Being a preferred supplier also means that NRB is the first port of call, as

global OEMs expand their footprint in India. The company also has a material sciences

R&D centre in Waluj.

Strong second line of management

The company has inducted various professionals at senior and middle-management levels,

who have significant experience in the bearings industry.

● Tanushree Bagrodia, CFO, is an INSEAD MBA graduate with a substantial

experience in investment banking.

● Sanjeev Parida, Senior Vice President, heads the human resources,

business systems and process functions. He more than 20 years of

experience and has previously worked at Tech Machindra,

● Mr Hemant Jog, Vice President, Manufacturing. He holds a Bachelor’s

degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Post Graduate Diploma in

Materials Management. He has 28 years of experience in the bearings

industry.

● Mr Gagan Mathur, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, has more than 15

years of experience in the engineering and components industry.

Corporate Governance

CRISIL’s fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of corporate

governance and management quality, apart from other key factors such as industry and

business prospects, and financial performance. In this context, CRISIL Research analyses

the shareholding structure, board composition, typical board processes, disclosure

standards and related-party transactions. Any qualifications by regulators or auditors also

serve as useful inputs, while assessing a company’s corporate governance.

NRB’s corporate governance is good. It is supported by a strong board and efficient

practices. It adheres to all regulatory requirements.

Board composition complies with the listing norms

The board comprises eight members, of whom one is an executive chairman and four are

independent directors, thereby meeting the requirements under Clause 49 of the SEBI’s

listing guidelines. The independent directors are highly qualified, have strong industry

experience.

Board processes

Necessary committees – such as audit, stakeholders’ relationships and nominations, and

remuneration - are in place, headed by independent directors. These committees have a

wider scope and, hence, the decision-making process is collaborative and appropriate.

Quality of earnings and disclosure standards

Quality of earnings is good as reflected in the following:

− Accounting policies are appropriate and conservative.

− The company has been generating operating cash flow over the past few years,

in line with revenue growth.

− High debtor and inventory days, due to the high inventory required by the

customised nature of its business.

The company has maintained a healthy dividend payout ratio of 33% on an average

over the past five years. Compared with PAT growth, the dividend payout is

appropriate and, hence, benefits the minority shareholders.

Based on public information, including annual reports and website uploads, the

disclosure standards are satisfactory. Although the company does not hold an investor

conference call (after the quarterly results), it shares information regularly.

Valuation Grade: 5/5

We lower our FY17 and FY18 projections to factor in the near term impact of

demonetisation on auto demand. However, we also lower our cost of equity assumption by

100 bps factoring in the fall in interest rates and rolled forwarded valuation by one year to

FY18. Consequently, we raise our DCF-based fair value to ₹143. The fair value implies

15.6x FY18E and 12.9x FY19E EPS. At the current market price of ₹107, the valuation

grade is 5/5.

Key DCF assumptions

Discounted value of the firm’s estimated free cash flows from FY17 to FY27.

Cost of equity of 14.6%.

Terminal growth rate of 3% beyond the explicit forecast period until FY27.

Company Overview

NRB was incorporated in 1965 as Needle Roller Bearing Company Ltd. It was set up as a

joint venture (30% stake) with French needle bearings manufacturer, Nadella SA (later

acquired by Timken France), which provided technological support. In 2005, NRB

promoters bought Timken’s stake.

The company has eight manufacturing plants in Waluj, Jalna, Chikalthana (Aurangabad)

and Thane (Maharashtra), Pantnagar (Uttarakhand), Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), Ranchi

(Jharkhand) and Rayong (Thailand). Waluj and Jalna plants constitute more than 80% of

the company’s bearings production.

NRB has three subsidiaries: SNL Bearings Ltd (73.7% stake), and wholly owned

subsidiaries, NRB Bearings (Thailand) Ltd and NRB Bearings Europe GmbH. In October

2012, NRB demerged its industrial bearings division into a wholly owned subsidiary, NRB

Industrial Bearings Ltd.
