FAG Bearings (FAG) reported a strong set of results for 4QCY2011, despite a marginal slowdown in the automotive and industrial sectors, the companys main growth drivers. Results were ahead of our estimates mainly due to strong top-line growth; the companys operating margin was, however, negatively impacted due to higher proportion of traded goods. We rollover to CY2013E and recommend Accumulate on the stock. Margin pressures restrict profitability: FAG posted strong 31.4% yoy (4.8% qoq) growth in its top line to `350cr, despite sluggish automotive demand and slowdown in industrial activity. EBITDA margin declined by 150bp yoy (170bp qoq) to 18.1% due to the surge in raw-material cost, primarily on the trading part of the business. In our view, this could be because of INR depreciation against EUR, which resulted in a 480bp yoy increase in traded goods as a percentage of sales. However, the 380bp yoy decline in other expenditure as a percentage of sales prevented the margin from declining further. Nonetheless, led by robust top-line growth, net profit grew strongly by 27.3% yoy to `43cr. However, sequentially, it declined by 5.4% mainly due to EBITDA margin contraction. Outlook and valuation: We maintain our positive stance on FAG, considering its strong parentage, debt-free status and cash balance worth `140/share on books. At `1,323, the stock is trading at 10x CY2013E earnings. We rollover to CY2013E and recommend Accumulate on the stock with a target price of `1,457, valuing the stock at 11x CY2013E earnings.

EBITDA margin contracts to 18.1%: For 4QCY2011, FAGs EBITDA margin contracted by 150bp yoy (170bp qoq) to 18.1% on account of surge in raw-material expenses, primarily on the trading part of the business. In our view, this could be because of INR depreciation against EUR, which resulted in a 480bp yoy increase in traded goods as a percentage of sales. However, the 380bp yoy decline in other expenditure as a percentage prevented the margin from declining further. As a result, operating profit grew by 21.3% yoy (down 4.2% qoq) to `63cr.

Investment arguments
Second-largest player with a ~15% market share: FAG is the second-largest player in the Indian bearing industry, with a total market share of ~15%. The company is also a market leader in the spherical roller bearing segment, with a market share of ~55%. FAG is a member of the Schaeffler Group, Germany, a global leader in the rolling element bearing segment and one of the most prominent industry players. We believe healthy demand in the auto and industrial segments will aid FAG in registering a CAGR of ~15% in net sales over CY2011-13E. Industry outlook likely to improve on interest rate easing: We believe there is likely to be an uptick in the industrial segment in the next three-four quarters, driven by increased demand from capital goods companies. Also, the auto segment is likely to grow, driven by an 11-12% CAGR in the auto sectors volumes over FY2011-13E. The company has a strong customer base (such as Maruti, M&M, Tata Motors, GM, Ford and Daimler Chrysler) in this segment. Strong fundamentals: FAGs net asset turnover remains high (~7x in CY2010) due to largely depreciated assets. The companys strong business model enables it to record robust and consistent RoCE of ~30%. Cash flow generation is also expected to remain healthy going forward.

Outlook and valuation

We maintain our positive stance on FAG, considering its strong parentage, debt-free status and cash balance worth `140/share on books. We expect FAG to register a healthy CAGR of ~15% in net sales and ~12% in net profit over CY2011-13E. At `1,323, the stock is trading at 10x CY2013E earnings. We rollover to CY2013E and recommend Accumulate on the stock with a target price of `1,457, valuing the stock at 11x CY2013E earnings.

Key risks
1) Revival in demand in the automotive and industrial segments post easing of interest rates from CY2012 poses an upside risk to our earnings estimates and, therefore, the target price. 2) Adverse currency movement can negatively affect FAGs trading business. 3) Cheap imports from China could affect business of bearing players like FAG.
