(RKFL), promoted by Mr. Mahabir Prasad Jalan, is a medium sized forgings company. It manufactures products for automobile (sales contribution ~60-70%) followed by railways (sales contribution ~10%), defence, and mining sectors. RKFL has also forayed into agriculture equipments and power sector. It has 5 plants, out of which 1 is in Liluah, West Bengal and 4 are in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. Investment Rationale Capacity expansion plan to propel growth RKFL is setting up three press lines of 12,500 tons, 4,500 tons and 3,150 tons at Kolabira - Jamshedpur, Jharkhand at a total cost of USD 100 million. The press of 4,500 tons and 3,150 tons will get commissioned in March 2014 while 12,500 will get commissioned in September 2014 and will manufacture front axle beams, crankshafts, stub axels and connecting rods. Post the commencement of the press, we expect the sales to grow at a CAGR of 32.8 percent over FY13-15E to INR 7,118.1 million while net profit during the same period is expected to grow at a CAGR of 57.1 percent to INR 272.2 million. Strong Clientele RKFL is preferred supplier for OEM s like Tata Motors Ltd, Ashok Leyland, Eicher etc and is also a global supplier for commercial vehicle majors like Meritor, DANA etc. In earth moving and mining sector, its clients include BEML, Indian Railways, etc, while in the engineering sector RKFL caters to BHEL, Federal Mogul and others. RKFL has tied up with some of the biggest vendors in Latin America and post commencement of new plant it is expected to significantly increase its exports in Latin America and USA. Exports contributed 13.5 percent to the company s topline in FY13. Industry weakness to continue RKFL principally supplies its components to commercial vehicle (CV) segment and more particularly to M&HCV, which has witnessed significant reduction in demand of forgings both domestically and globally. Going forward, we expect the domestic CV segment demand to remain frail, though recovery is expected in FY16 led by improving macroeconomic scenario. Valuation We rate a BUY rating on RKFL with a price target of INR 117.2/share, implying an upside potential of 44.7 percent from current levels. Our target price is based on RKFL s FY15E EV/EBITDA multiple of 8.0x. SKP Securities Ltd www.skpmoneywise.com Page 1 of 5
