For 1QFY2016, LG Balakrishnan & Bros (LGBBL)’s standalone top-line and bottom-line have come in below our estimates. The standalone top-line growth was subdued mainly due to lower growth in the Transmission segment, which contributes by ~76% to the company’s total standalone revenue. Further, the Other segment reported a decline on the sales front. On the bottom-line (standalone) front, the company unperformed due to subdued sales, poor operating performance and a higher tax rate. Top-line growth declined by ~1%: The standalone top-line declined by ~1% yoy to ~Rs247cr. The Transmission segment reported a lower-than-expected growth of ~2% yoy to Rs194cr. Further, the Metal forming segment reported a decline of ~6% yoy to ~Rs42cr and the company’s Other segment reported a decline of 27% yoy. Poor operating performance and higher tax rate mar profitability: For the quarter, the company’s bottom-line came in at ~Rs9cr, down ~41% yoy, owing to underperformance on the operating front and due to a higher tax rate (up 245bp yoy). Outlook and valuation: LGBBL is a market leader in two-wheeler automotive chains with ~70% market share in the OEM segment. The company has been reporting lower growth in earnings since the last three quarters, which is mainly due to overall slowdown in the two-wheeler industry. The two-wheeler industry has been impacted mainly due to rural slowdown. However, sales are expected to rebound in 2HFY2016 on expectations of a normal monsoon which will boost crop output, thus leading to revival in rural demand. The company’s volume growth in the automotive chains segment is expected to improve over FY2015-17E with its key clients like HMCL, HMSI, Yamaha, TVS Motor and others having plans of capacity expansion and with they launching new models. We have a Neutral rating on the stock.
