Recommendation & Analysis - ‘BUY’

India's largest automobile company, Tata Motors reported consolidated revenues (net of excise) of Rs.

638768.30 million for the quarter ended December 31 2013, a growth of 38.59% over Rs. 460895.00 million for

the corresponding quarter of the previous year, on the back of strong demand, growth in volumes and favourable

product mix and geographic mix at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). Consolidated PBT for the quarter was Rs. 61277.20

million, over Rs. 26678.50 million in the Q3 FY13 and the Consolidated PAT (post minority interest and profit /

loss in respect of associate companies) for the quarter was Rs. 48048.00 million, over Rs. 16275.00 crores for the

corresponding quarter of the previous year.

During the quarter, Jaguar Land Rover has reported revenues of GBP 5,328 million represented a growth of

40.1% over GBP 3,804 million during the corresponding quarter last year. Operating profit (EBITDA) stood at

GBP 955 million in the quarter, up 79.2% as compared to GBP 533 million during the corresponding quarter last

year. Operating margin for the quarter stood at 17.9%, up 390 bps as compared to corresponding quarter last

year reflecting richer product mix, supported by launch of new Range Rover Sport, new Range Rover and Jaguar

F-TYPE, and richer geographic mix, with increased volumes in various geographies. Profit after tax for the

quarter grew to GBP 619 million (GBP 296 million in the corresponding quarter last year). During the quarter,

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Co. Ltd. registered net revenues of KRW 213 billion and Net profit of KRW 5

billion, as compared to KRW 175 billion and KRW 0.3 billion, respectively, in Q3 FY13.

Standalone sales (including exports) of commercial and passenger vehicles for the quarter ended December 31,

2013, stood at 1,32,087 units, a decline of 35.7% as compared to the corresponding period last year. The

revenues (net of excise) for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, stood at Rs. 77700 million, as compared to

Rs.106300 million in Q3 FY13. Prolonged slowdown in economic activity, weak consumer sentiments, subdued

infrastructure activity, tight financing environment with high interest rates, weak operating economics for

transporters due to lower fleet utilization and stagnant freight rates combined with fuel price increases,

continued to impact the industry during the quarter.

Over FY2012-15E, we expect the company to post a CAGR of 18% and 7% in its revenue and PAT respectively.

Hence, we recommend ‘BUY’ for ‘TATA MOTORS LTD’ with a target price of Rs. 410.00.

Industry Overview

India represents one of the world’s largest automobile industries. Easy availability of finance and rising income

levels are encouraging the middle class population to upgrade their two wheelers to a car. Besides, the growing

organised used car market has also been a positive growth factor in the used car market of the country. Driven by

the above factors, the used cars market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16

per cent during 2013–17.

India is quietly becoming a production hub of high-end vehicles meant for export to China. The US-based

motorbike maker Harley Davidson, Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM and Mahindra & Mahindra have also

preferred to set up manufacturing facilities in India than in the relatively low-cost China and export the output.

million units by 2020–21. The industry is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13 per cent during 2012–2021. In
