(TVSL IN, Mkt Cap USD3.4b, CMP INR491, TP INR480, 2% Downside, Neutral)

  • Realizations at record level: Volumes grew 2% YoY (-8% QoQ), while realizations increased 7.2% YoY (+2.5% QoQ) to INR48.3k (our estimate: INR46.5k). Revenue grew 9% YoY to INR43.8b (our estimate: INR42.2b). Lower scooter contribution hit the gross margin, while negative operating leverage led to EBITDA margin erosion of 110bp QoQ (-40bp YoY) to 7% (our estimate: 7.3%). Adj. PAT declined 19.2% YoY (-25% QoQ) to INR1.3b. For FY19, revenue/EBITDA/PAT grew 20%/22%/1%.
