Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Contd…

Outlook & Valuation –
Chola is one of the best vehicle finance company with strong return ratios, improving NIMs, well
capitalized balance sheet, and strong underwriting record & parentage. We expect demand for tractors
and used commercial vehicles to be robust and Chola being one of the largest players in these
segments will benefit the most. Vehicle finance disbursements have crossed pre-covid levels, we expect
disbursements to further gain pace in Q4FY21 onwards, while FY22 to provide strong growth on back of
resilient rural segment, pick up in economic activities and upturn in CV cycle. Voluntary scrappage
policy is a step in right direction; we expect vehicle finance companies like Chola to benefit significantly.

HCL Technologies Contd...

Outlook & Valuation –
We believe HCL is a key beneficiary of increasing IT spends globally. HCL has a good track record on
client acquisition front; the deal pipeline is robust with healthy large deal wins. Further, the on-going
pandemic has enforced businesses across the globe to adopt digital technology to stay competitive in
this new business environment, which, in turn, has resulted in increased adoption of cloud technology.
Apart from cloud, cyber security, automation, app modernisation, etc. are some of the opportunities
which could see traction going forward. Also, strategic partnerships and acquisitions could give the
company an edge for niche technologies and aid in client acquisitions by cross-selling, thereby
increasing its top-line. The stock is currently trading at the PE of 15.9x of FY23E earnings.

ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Ltd.

• ICICI Lombard General Insurance (ILGI) reported steady performance for Q3FY21. Gross Direct
  Premium Income (GDPI) grew 3.9% YoY for 9MFY21, while it grew 9.2% for Q3FY21. Growth in GDPI
  was led by Motor, Fire and Health segments. ILGI outpaced industry growth for Q3FY21, which stood
  at 4.9%. Operating profit in Q3FY21 de-grew 2.7% YoY because of upfronting of acquisition costs and
  higher claims payout. PAT grew by 23.6% in 9MFY20, whereas for Q3FY21 PAT grew by 6.6% YoY.

• The solvency ratio has improved further to 2.76x from 2.74x in Q2FY21. Combined ratio improved to
  99.1% in 9MFY21 compared to 100.5% in 9M FY2020 while the ratio improved to 97.9% in Q3 FY21
  compared to 98.7% in Q3 FY20. ILGI’s combined ratio is much better than industry combined ratio at
  103%. Return on Average Equity (ROAE) was 22.4% in 9MFY21 compared to 21.8% in 9MFY20,
  whereas ROAE was 17.6% in Q3FY21 compared to 20.3% in Q3FY20.

• Sharp recovery across sectors has led to growth in economy, even hospitality and travel has started
  showing positive signs. Motor showed encouraging performance due to pent up demand, personal
  mobility and festive sales, while rate hike has aided fire segment growth.

• Overall costs has increased, mainly because of upfronting of acquisition cost, while benefit of GDPI
  growth will come through the policy period. Bharti Axa merger related cost of Rs. 35 cr. has been
  expensed which has further impacted operating costs.

• Bharti Axa merger has been approved by IRDAI, CCI and BSE & NSE. ILGI has filed application with
  NCLT, which has directed to take shareholders approval for scheme of arrangement. We believe
  merger is in its last leg, and will be effective soon.

• Management is very optimistic and expects Q4 FY21 to be positive on growth perspective.

Outlook & Valuation –
ICICI Lombard reported stable third quarter results where GDPI growth and combined ratio was much
better than industry. Management is rightly focused on sustained profitability, prudent risk
management and multi-channel distribution mix. We believe pandemic will lead to increased
penetration of health insurance segment and covid-19 claims to have moderated. We remain bullish on
ICICI Lombard & believe it to be a long term compounding story. ICICI Lombard is currently trading at
31.27x FY23E earnings.

Mastek Ltd.

• Mastek delivered strong performance for the quarter, despite being seasonally weak quarter because
  of Christmas and New Year. Revenue grew 8% QoQ in INR terms and 7.3 % QoQ in constant currency
  (CC) terms to Rs. 443 cr and $60 mn respectively. EBIT margin stood at 20.8%, QoQ improvement of
  253 bps, margin expansion was led by higher offshoring and lower SG&A expenses.

• 12 month order backlog was at Rs. 946.7 crore as on December, 2020 as compared to Rs. 940.5 crore
  in Q2FY21, reflecting a growth of 0.7% in rupee terms and marginal reduction of 2.3% in constant
  currency terms on Q-o-Q basis and Rs 471.0 crore in Q3FY20 reflecting a growth of 101.0% in rupee
  terms and 93.9% in constant currency terms on Y-o-Y basis.

• The company added 57 new clients during the quarter as compared to 37 during Q2FY21. Joint go-to-
  market strategy with Evosys is helping to win clients, as clients are getting complete bouquet of
  services like cloud migration and digital transformation.

• The company is looking at M&A opportunities with strong cash in hand of ~ Rs. 521 crore. The USA is
  the key focus area for the company for the future course of the business.

Mastek Contd...

Outlook & Valuation –
Q3FY21 has witnessed strong order backlog, robust margin expansion, strong client addition and high
cash flow conversion. Strong traction is seen in UK government departments and the US retail
business. After the acquisition of Evosys, the company has larger market access and is able to win large
multi million dollar end-to-end transformation deals. We believe in long term growth of the company
driven by access to larger market, multi-million dollar deals and inorganic expansion coupled with
margin expansion and healthy balance sheet. Mastek is currently trading at 13.35x FY23E earnings.

Minda Industries Ltd.

•    Minda Industries (MIL) 3QFY21 consolidated revenues came in at Rs. 1850 crores, up 35.8% YoY;
     driven by strong aftermarket (+55% YoY) and export sales (+25% YoY).

•    EBITDA grew 61.8% YoY with margin at 14.7% (up 236bps YoY); benefit of operating leverage was
     offset by high raw material cost (60% of revenue). Healthy demand coupled with higher product
     value per vehicle enabled MIL to outperform industry.

•    MIL introduced new products for EV (which included sensors, LED lighting, smart plugs, body
     control module etc.) that would help it continue its growth prospects as and when the EV
     becomes prevalent in the country; currently the share of EVs in the market is negligible but with
     the product development, MIL is ready to grab the market ahead of competition.

•    MIL has inked multiple JVs/acquisitions and forged several technology tie-ups to tap existing
     customers for new products such as airbags, rear parking sensors, car infotainment, connected
     mobility, ADAS etc.

•    The company has leveraged these new products and increased its overall content per vehicle. Its
     content per vehicle has increased by ~15% over past couple of years.

Minda Industries Contd...

Outlook and Valuation –
The company is one of the leading auto ancillary companies with a diversified mix of 2Ws (~48%) and
PVs (~52%). We remain positive on the company as it is best positioned to benefit from higher
increase in content per vehicle across segments led by regulatory tailwinds. The BS6 transition has led
to sharp rise in switching content whereas the safety norms have made it mandatory to install
premium products like parking sensors and airbags. It has further pro-actively forged several JVs/tie-
ups with globally established players after sensing enormous growth opportunities in ADAS, sensors,
IoT, seating systems which has the potential to strengthen the overall kit value for the company over
next 3-5 years. We expect MIL to post decent set of numbers led by market share gains in legacy
business with foray into new verticals like seating, ADAS and ramp up of its green-field 2W alloy wheel
capacity. The stock is currently trading at 38.5x FY23E earnings.

•      Consolidated revenue grew by 34% YoY (flat in 3QFY20 and +13% in 2QFY21). UCP revenue was up by a
       robust 40% YoY (14% in 3QFY20 and +9% in 2QFY21). UCP volume growth stood at 40% YoY (14% YoY in
       2QFY21), driven by RAC volume growth of 43% YoY (11% YoY in 2QFY21).

•      Commercial Refrigeration grew by 100% YoY (20% YoY in 2QFY21) and Air cooler by 11% YoY (28% YoY in
       2QFY21). EMPS grew by 26% YoY growth (-8% in 3QFY20 and +15% in 2QFY21) and EPS was up 46% YoY (-
       1% in 3QFY20 and +16% in 2QFY21).

•      Voltas, as part of internal business restructuring, has decided to move its B2B businesses - domestic
       projects (MEP/HVAC, Water), mining & construction equipment and textile machinery business to its wholly
       owned subsidiary Universal MEP Projects and Engineering services Ltd (Formerly Rohini Industrial
       Electricals Ltd) for a cash consideration of INR10-12b and transaction is expected to be executed on or.
       before 31st March 2021 and concluded by September 2021.

•      The company has announced to restructure all domestic B2B business into a 100% owned subsidiary
       (Rohini Industrials). The newly incorporated subsidiary project business and the EPS business. we believe
       segregation of both the business can help Voltas realize fair valuation of both its business and potentially
       rerate the consumer business.

•      VoltBek is a 50:50 Joint Venture between Voltas and Arçelik. With this, Voltas entered the home appliances

Voltas Contd...

Outlook and Valuation –
Voltas’s room air conditioning market share has expanded to 26.8%; Voltas’s market share gain is
reflection of its strong execution & scale benefits. Moreover, a stronger balance sheet and weaker
economic growth are benefiting Voltas in gaining market share from peers. Given high dependence of
nearly ~40% on imports in the AC industry, companies are increasingly looking to outsource to
domestic players to control costs. Voltas is expected to continue its lead in the industry on the back of
its market leadership, strong brand recall ,high operational efficiency and strong distribution reach.

General Risk Factors
An indicative list of the risks associated with investing through the services is set out below:
1. Equity and Equity related Risks: Equity instruments carry both companies specific and market risks and hence no
   assurance of returns can be made for these investments.
2. Price/Volatility Risk: Equity Markets can show large fluctuations in price, even in short periods of time. Investors
   should be aware of this and only invest in equity or equity-related products if their investment horizon is long enough
   to support these important price movements.
3. Clients are not being offered any guaranteed/assured returns.
4. The value of the asset may increase or decrease depending upon various market forces affecting the capital markets
   such as de-listing of Securities, market closure, etc. Consequently, we make no assurance of any guaranteed returns.
5. Our past performance does not guarantee the future performance of the same.
6. Investment decisions made by the Investment Adviser may not always be profitable
7. Not following the recommendation or allocation may impact the profitability of the Portfolio.
8. System / Network Congestion: Recommendation communicated via electronic modes i.e. Email exists a possibility of
   delivery failure, which may be beyond our control.
