Dolat Capital's research report on Exide Industries
Exide’s 4QFY19 results were ahead of our estimates. The net revenue was ` 26bn (+6% YoY), due to higher automotive (especially from the replacement segment) and industrial battery sales. The EBITDA was ` 3.73bn (+10%YoY) with expanded margin at 14.4% (+62bps YoY), due to a fall in lead prices, a better product mix, and cost control measures. The APAT grew 11% YoY to ` 2.10bn.

We expect a 21% EPS CAGR over FY19-21E led by 13% revenue growth (driven by replacement demand) and 70bps margin expansion (due to weak lead prices and measures to cut costs). We recommend a Buy, with SOTP-based TP of ` 277 (20x FY21E EPS + 2x Inv (` 37) for the insurance).
