Market/Technology leader in CV air brakes systems on account of strong
parentage: WABCO India (WIL), a 75% subsidiary of WABCO Holdings, is the
market leader (~85% share) in CV air braking systems in India. Its market
leadership position could be viewed as a natural extension of its parent, WABCO
Holding’s, dominant market presence in the world – WABCO Holdings is a
technology leader in providing safety solutions to the global CV industry. The
company is well positioned to leverage the rising content per vehicle in the
domestic MHCV market (growing faster than MHCV industry growth) and is
likely to be the key beneficiary of recovery in M&HCV volumes, entry of global
players in the Indian markets and implementation of safety norms by the
Government for M&HCV.
WIL’s domestic growth outpaces MHCV growth due to increased
content/vehicle: WIL’s domestic revenues have grown by 15.5% CAGR v/s
MHCV volume growth of 10.0% CAGR over FY09-FY13 period. This is because
content per vehicle has increased from Rs10,700/vehicle in 2009 to Rs12,200
($240)/vehicle currently. WABCO Holdings estimates an average input of more
than US$3,000 in the average price of US$130,000 for a heavy truck sold in
Western Europe, whereas in US, the estimated input is at $1,000 i.e. 1.3-1.4% of
the truck cost of US$80,000 for a heavy truck sold in North America. Hence, the
scope for growth is huge over the next 4-5 years, thereby, making WIL a key
beneficiary of the same.
New products to drive growth: Given the strong parentage of WABCO Holdings,
we believe that a lot of new products could be added to WIL’s stable. WIL plans
to introduce two new products in its stable viz. Automated Manual Transmission
(OptiDrive™ Technology) and Lift Axle Control Valve. At the same time, in a
recent announcement, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has decided
to make anti-lock braking system or ABS mandatory for all new commercial
vehicles hitting the road from 2014. We see implementation of ABS (Anti-lock
Braking System) to give a market opportunity of Rs4-5bn (0.5x FY13 top-line).

Strong balance sheet and free cash flow to support higher valuations: Given
that the profitability is likely to grow at a CAGR of 23%+ with a moderate capex
for the next two years pegged at Rs600m/year, we expect free cash generation
of Rs836m in FY14E and Rs977m in FY15E. Even in the downturn, WIL was able
to maintain profitability with a robust ~22% ROE. The stock has traded at an
average P/E of 15-20x and average P/BV of 3-3.5x 1-year forward. At the current
market price, the stock is trading at 22.4x FY14E and 15.8x FY15E earnings. We
believe stock would trade at a higher multiple, given the strong parentage and
robust earnings growth trajectory. We initiate coverage on Wabco India with an
‘Accumulate’ rating and assign a target multiple of 18.5x FY15E EPS to arrive at
our Target Price of Rs1,900.

WIL’s domestic growth outpaces MHCV growth due to increase in content per vehicle
WIL’s domestic revenues have grown by 16.4% CAGR v/s MHCV volume growth of
10.0% CAGR over FY09-FY13 period. This is because content per vehicle has
increased from Rs10,000/vehicle in 2009 to Rs12,000 ($240)/vehicle currently. This is
expected to increase to more than US$500/vehicle over the next 3-4 years with new
products such as ABS and Optidrive being implemented in India. We see
implementation of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) to give a market opportunity of
Rs5-6bn (0.65x FY13 top-line) estimated on FY13 MHCV sales.

Margins resilient on account of leadership as well as diversified revenue stream:
Despite a 24% de-growth in the M&HCV segment, WIL reported a de-growth of only
9.1% in its top-line in FY13.
This was mainly on account of increased content per vehicle as well as higher
replacement (growth of ~15%) as well as export revenues (growth of ~34%).
At the same time, given the technological leadership, gross margins were resilient/
intact at 43.6%.

WABCO Holdings, which cater to these technological requirements, estimates an
average input of more than US$3,000 in the average price of US$130,000 for a heavy
truck sold in Western Europe. In US, the estimated input is at $1,000 i.e. 1.3-1.4% of
the truck cost of US$ 80,000 for a heavy truck sold in North America.
As CVs scale up technologically, there has been an increase in WABCO’s input as a
percentage of the price of CVs, to 2.3% in Western Europe and 1% in NA. CV
technology in India is still at the basic level, thus, providing large scope for
improvement which is likely to be triggered by the international players entering the
Indian market.
These OEMs could also introduce other products by WABCO in India, thereby,
compelling the company to widen its product offerings.

New products to drive growth
WIL plans to introduce two new products in its stable viz. Automated Manual
Transmission (OptiDrive™ Technology) and Lift Axle Control Valve.
WIL has already introduced OptiDrive™ Technology for buses in India through Ashok
Leyland (second-largest manufacturer of CVs in India). Optidrive optimizes gear
shifting and improves vehicle control, thereby, reducing fuel consumption by up to
5%. We believe that the implementation of safety standards and the move towards
fuel efficiency will result in an increase in the Indian truck market content, going
forward.
The new products are likely to gain momentum due to increasing share of higher
tonnage vehicles, coupled with introduction of technologically superior M&HCVs by
the domestic OEMs such as World Truck (Tata Motors) and U Truck (Ashok Leyland)
and increasing market share of global players such as Volvo and Bharat Benz.
Optidrive a landmark product for Indian markets; payback of less than a year
The system combines high efficiency of a manual gearbox with the optimal shift
timing of an automatic one, continues to gain global acceptance among major
manufacturers of transmissions, trucks and buses. For example, AMT systems
account for more than 60% of transmissions in trucks and buses in Europe. In North
America, up to 40% of trucks sold in 2011 by one of the leading global original
equipment makers were equipped with WIL's advanced AMT systems.

Conventional products, which contribute
90% to the Indian operations, account for
45% of WABCO’s global sales despite
under-penetration of advanced braking
products in the emerging markets. We see
a huge opportunity for WIL to push sales of
the under-penetrated products besides
introducing new products
WIL believes Optidrive could be a landmark
product for the Indian MHCV market with
potential revenues projected at Rs25bn
alone from this product (based on current
MHCV OE sales)
Wabco India
September 23, 2013 12
Exhibit 10: Optidrive benefits
Source: Company Reports, PL Research
The Indian CV market is highly cost-conscious and price-elastic. The average cost of
this product is ~Rs50000/unit, which works out to ~3.3% of the total cost of a MHCV.
However, as per our calculations, the payback for this product is less than a year as
the benefits from improvement in energy efficiency by 5% more than offsets the
higher cost of the product.
AMT systems, which combine the high efficiency of a manual gearbox with the
optimal shift timing of an automatic one, continue to gain global acceptance among
major manufacturers of transmissions, trucks and buses. For instance, in North
America, up to 40% of trucks sold in 2011 by one of the leading global OEMs were
trucks equipped with advanced AMT systems developed by WABCO.
Ashok Leyland has been the first OEM in
India to adopt Optidrive systems for the
domestic market. It has launched the
innovative transmission automation
system under brand `Leymatic'

Clutch Servo
WABCO clutch servo enables the driver to disengage and engage the clutch with
minimum clutch pedal effort. It is a pneumatically assisted hydraulic clutch actuating
device. It also features mechanical wear indicator, which shows the wear of the
clutch. WABCO’s clutch servo is self-adjusted to accommodate clutch wear and
perform even under extreme temperature conditions. It has more life compared to
competitive boosters.
The Lift Axle Control Valve system
The Lift Axle Control Valve System (vide WABCO’s SmartLift) is used for lifting and
lowering the axle depending upon the vehicle’s load condition. It operates through
the pneumatic load sensed by the load detection valve. It automatically lowers the
axle during ignition ‘off’ condition to prevent theft of the wheels.
WABCO’s Smart Lift is used for lifting and lowering the axle, depending upon the
vehicle’s load condition. It operates through the pneumatic load sensed by the load
detection valve. It automatically lowers the axle during ignition ‘off’ condition to
prevent theft of the wheels. It reduces fuel consumption due to less air
consumption. Lift axle valve is normally used in higher tonnage vehicles.
ABS – Regulatory implementation to create big opportunity
Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) are used to prevent locking of a vehicle’s wheels as a
result of excessive actuation of service braking system. It prevents wheel locking
during sudden braking to ensure steer ability and stability (prevents skidding).
The Indian government has introduced mandatory fitment of ABS for commercial
vehicles carrying hazardous goods since October 2006 and for tractor-trailers and
buses with national permits since October 2007 for road safety. Typically, ABS
realizations are at least 2x regular air braking systems. However, the incremental
addition in terms of costing could be Rs15-18,000/unit. This translates into a
potential market size for ABS in India for MHCVs could be ~Rs5-6bn (based on
existing MHCV OE population).
Assuming 85% market share of WIL, the annual demand potential for WIL could be
Rs4-5bn. This translates to 80% of WIL’s FY13E revenues and is higher than revenues
from its air actuator systems.
The Government of India in 2011 formulated five separate Working Groups on 4 ‘E’s
of Road Safety, i.e. Engineering, Enforcement, Education and Emergency care.
We believe ABS could provide an additional
Rs5-6bn in sales for WIL (assumed at 80%
penetration on FY13 MHCV sales and
WABCO market share of 80% in ABS).
According to our estimate, ABS penetration
in India at present is ~5%

One of the modules in the report of the working group comprised of safety
standards for buses and CVs. In this module, the working group has recommended
implementation of ABS in CVs by 2016. In an attempt to make highways safer, in a
recent announcement, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has decided to
make anti-lock braking system or ABS mandatory for all new commercial vehicles
hitting the road from 2014.

are also replacing the air braking system in their trucks (which follow a replacement
cycle of 2-3yrs). Over FY10-13 period, the cumulative M&HCVs volumes stood at
1.3m units which enthuses confidence of 9-10% growth in the replacement market.
WABCO enjoys 85% market share in the OEM segment and 75% market share in the
organized replacement market for air braking systems through its 7000+ outlets and
250 service centres. Majority of the WABCO’s aftermarket sales happen through
independent distributors. It grew at a 23% CAGR over FY09-FY12 period.

Strong balance sheet and free cash flow to support higher valuations
Given the strong parentage of WABCO Holdings, we believe lot of new products
could be added to WIL’s stable. At the same time, majority of the capex has been
done. Our interaction with the management suggests the capex for the next two
years is pegged at Rs600m/year. We expect capex to be funded through internal
accruals given the strong cash flow generation by the company. At the same time,
the company enjoys a debt free status.
Given that the profitability is likely to grow at earnings CAGR of 22%+, we expect free
cash generation of Rs836m in FY14 and Rs977m in FY15. Even in the downturn, WIL
was able to maintain profitability with a robust 22% ROE.
At the CMP, the stock is trading at 15.8x FY15E EPS in line with its average P/E of 15-
20x 1-year fwd. At the same time, the company is trading at its average P/BV of 3-
3.5x 1-year forward.
Any robust recovery in the M&HCV segment in FY15E would lead to a robust growth
in profitability of the company.
