LIL in Q4FY24, reported better than expected performance on revenue and margin front. Revenue during the quarter grew by 22.1% YoY/17.6% QoQ to Rs.7.4bn (vs est of Rs.6.5bn) due to commissioning of new plant and winning new models. EBITDA grew by (+35% YoY/+13% QoQ) to Rs.659mn and EBITDA margin came at 8.9% (+87bps YoY/-35bps QoQ) due to higher other expenditure and loss on tooling division. RPAT stood at Rs.361mn, (+49% YoY/+41% QoQ). Income from Associate grew by +51.6% YoY/+89.4% to Rs.222mn. Post SOP of the Chakan plant, management expects revenue from the new facility Phase-I and II would be Rs.900-1000cr. In Q4 Chakan-Phase-I delivered a revenue of Rs.85cr and currently operating at 50-60% utilization expected to reach around 90% utilization in FY25. 

 

* We expect the Chakan plant will set the stage for Lumax ind to grow better than industry and also help to increase margin trajectory in the 10-12% band as the new plant is more efficient compared to other existing facilities.

* PV segment to continue to dominate the growth going forward: LIL revenue share from MISL is expected to improve led by increasing share of SUV in MSIL portfolio now and decent launch pipeline ahead with capacity expansion, management expect revenue from its key customer like MSIL and M&M to improve in coming quarters. Further revenue share from M&M and Tata motors to also improve from FY25 onwards as new facility is largely dedicated for these two clients. Additionally, LIL’s largest client MSIL will be next growth engine once MISL’s kharkhoda plant will commission.

* Increasing LED share:  In the last 5 years the share of LED for LIL has improved from 25% to 39% of total revenue and in Q4 stood at around 47%. Of the current order book LED share is around 88%. management expects this will help to improve the LED share to 50% in FY25. The current import content in 2W LED lighting is 25-30% and in PV 50% (depending upon headlamp and tail lamp) which is expected to reduce by half in the next couple of years. However, so far management is not able to meet the double digit margin trajectory despite increasing the local content.

View & Valuation

* We continue to maintain our positive outlook on Lumax ind led by 1) its strong relationship with the majority of auto OEMs; 2) healthy demand in the PV segment; 3) increasing capacity in PV segment (will add incremental annual revenue of Rs500-600cr from FY25 onwards); 4) localization of electronic facility levers for margin expansion; and 5) addition of new clients and models. We ascribe a TP of Rs.3033 (15x of FY26E EPS) and recommend BUY
