Swaraj Engines (SEL) reported healthy Q2FY21 numbers amid record quarterly volumes (34,489 engines, up 31.3% YoY). Net revenues rose 31.2% YoY (entirely volume led, ASPs flat) to Rs. 292 crore, tracking a strong quarter for the domestic tractor industry. Margins rose 20 bps YoY to 13.7% courtesy savings in employee & other expenses with consequent PAT up 7% YoY to Rs. 27 crore. SEL would be expanding capacities by 15,000 units per annum to 1.5 lakh units per annum, to be funded by internal accruals.
Valuation & Outlook
We expect FY20-23E sales, PAT CAGR at 8.2%, 9.0%, respectively. SEL provides an auxiliary play on domestic tractor industry (rural economy) as well as M&M. Its strong B/S, ~70%+ dividend payout & healthy capital efficiency merit continued premium valuations, in our view. We value SEL at Rs. 1,710 i.e. 24x P/E on FY22E & FY23E average EPS (Rs. 71.2) & retain BUY.
