Analyst's Notes

Exide Industries: Corrective measures taken - 07 Jul 2016

Exide industries Ltd (Exide) is head quartered in Kolkata and it is considered as one of the India’s largest storage battery manufacturing company. The company has presence over six decades across the geographical territories of India. The company is also in the business of making automotive acid led batteries, industrial batteries and submarine batteries. It has plants in India, Sri Lanka, Singapore and the UK. It is covering the broadest range of applications and has a widest range of storage batteries from 2.5 Ah to 20,600 Ah capacities. It sells automotive batteries in the domestic market under the brand name EXIDE, SF, SONIC, Standard Furukawa, DYNEX, and INDEX; and submarine batteries for defense applications. Index and Sonic brands are used for export market. It sells its automotive batteries through a distribution network of dealer outlets primarily to car and two-wheeler manufacturers. It is a leading supplier of batteries for motorcycles, passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and farm equipment.

Lead prices have been trending lower since 2011 from $2400/t to ~$1800/t now. Gross margins have increased closed to 37-38%. While there is no way to forecast lead prices into future, we believe that the industry has moderate pricing power in replacement market which offsets high raw material costs. In near future, we are expecting that sales from OEMs will gain traction as opposed to replacement market as auto sales underwent slowdown from FY12-14.

Exide has been losing market share to Amara Raja due to inferior technology and average service.  Amara Raja Batteries has an access to superior product from the joint venture with Johnson Controls Inc. in December 1997.

However, Exide Industries is incurring huge capex (Rs. 700-800 Cr) for implementing the punch grid technology, which will lead to superior battery life from current 3 years to 4-5 years and lower warranty costs. In FY15, Exide had 15,500 plus dealers, 14,250 plus humsafar outlets and 775 plus exide care outlets. The company supplies products to majority of its large stores. In FY17, management aims to penetrate smaller shops and strengthen its distribution network. It is also taking steps to regain share in replacement such as starting 2W courier services, which pick up the batteries from the service centers for faster replacement and develop devices which tap the touch-time of dealers. We believe that this will make the company competitive and defend its market share. Also, past relationship on OEMs (60% market share) is one of its strengths.

We had given BUY on Exide Industries in Jan’14 and Jan’16 at 108 and 118 respectively. Since Jan’16 the stock is up 45%, but unfortunately we couldn’t buy significant weight in our portfolio. We recommend HOLD on the stock. Wait for our BUY/SELL signal to time your purchase and sell decision.

All our past signals can be viewed here. You can bookmark this page for reference.

A portfolio must be held for the long term, which we define as at least 5-7 years. However, this does not mean every stock will perform in each year. Our performance should be judged on the basis of the overall portfolio over 2-3 years at least, not on the basis of short-term performance of individual stocks. Uninvested cash should be parked in money market/liquid funds/fixed deposits earning 8% pre-tax returns.
