Wabco India (WABIND)

CMP: ₹ 6,875 Target: ₹ 5,500 (-20%) Target Period: 12 months

Expensive valuations, sell in market/tender in Open offer

Wabco India (WIL) reported muted performance in Q4FY20 on the back of

sharp decline in CV space. Net sales came off by 38.9% YoY to ₹ 405

crore. EBITDA for the quarter came in at ₹ 52 crore with corresponding

EBITDA margins at 12.8% (down 88 bps QoQ). Consequent PAT in Q4FY20

stood at ₹ 32 crore, down 39.6% YoY. Full year FY20 sales stood at ₹ 1,930

crore (down 32.4% YoY) and consequent PAT at ₹ 159 crore, down 44%

YoY. Dividend per share for FY20 stood at ₹ 10/share

Spectre of CV downturn weighs heavy!

WIL has a strong foothold in the domestic CV safety & security (primarily

braking solutions) segment. The CV space in India has been the worst

affected in the ongoing auto slowdown. While cyclical and structural

demand side factors (slow economic and sluggish freight movement,

activity, high installed base, financing issues, revised axle load norms, idle

system capacity and cost escalation under BS-VI norms) were already

weighing on the sector, additional disruption brought about by Covid-19

on demand as well supply side have further elongated CV downcycle

domestically. Meaningful recovery in the space is expected to begin only in

H2FY21E, contingent upon pickup in economic growth and system

normalisation post BS-VI implementation. Separately, ongoing destocking

in US Class 8 truck market (~20% of WIL revenues) further clouds demand

outlook for WIL.

Closure of parent merger deal, revised open offer at ₹ 7067.5

The global parent of Wabco India i.e. Wabco Holdings Inc. has executed a

definite agreement for merger with ZF Friedrichshafen AG of Germany (ZF)

for an all cash deal as on 29th May 2020. Pursuant to this, ZF had

announced an open offer for existing shareholders of Wabco India at ₹

6,318/share on April 3, 2019. However, with all regulatory approvals now in

place and underlying transaction now complete, ZF group has come out

with a revised open offer as per SEBI guidelines. The revised open offer,

provides an exit opportunity at a price of ₹ 7067.5/share, which in this case

includes all minority shareholders (25% stake). The open offer is expected

to open mid-July’ 20 with final pay-out by mid-August’20 (2.5 months away

as on date).

Valuation & Outlook

Valuations (81x FY20P EPS of ₹ 84) at WIL, in our opinion are disconnected

from prevailing challenges on the demand front, with relative resilience in

price performance centred around market expectations around the open

offer price. On the back of elongated CV recovery cycle, we assign SELL

rating on WIL and advice existing investors to either tender their shares in

the forthcoming open offer (₹ 7067.5/share, 2.5 months away) or for

simplicity of operations sell shares in open market. We ascribe a fair value

of ₹ 5500 to WIL i.e. 65x P/E on FY22EPS.

CV space is expected to witness delayed demand

recovery. Consequently, net sales at WIL are seen

de-growing at a CAGR of 3.6% over FY20P-22E

Negative operating leverage to weigh on margin

profile with margins seen recovering to 14.1% by

FY22E vs. 13.0% in FY20P

PAT CAGR is expected to be flat courtesy decline in

sales and gradual improvement in margins
