capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Current CAPEX trend: Historically 7%-8% of revenue; expected to rise to 10%-11% due to increased automation needs. - CAPEX outlook is cautious given current market signals; growth expected over a 3-year compounded basis rather than yearly jumps. - Capacity setup includes approx. 3 million units for wastegate and EGR actuators already in place. - Brushless DC motors (BLDC) capacity being developed with significant investments; investment per capacity is higher than brush DC motors. - Strategic partnerships with three Asian partners (Taiwan, Korea, Japan) for BLDC motor vertical integration, including PCB population in-house. - Semi-organic growth explored through leveraging engineering/manufacturing competence and aiming to expand manufacturing footprint in India. - Increasing emphasis on developing intellectual property (IP) ownership in comfort actuator motors.

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- The company expects steady growth driven by integration of Agile and Igarashi platforms. - Revenue CAPEX is anticipated to increase from 7-8% to 10-11% of revenue over 3 years, indicating investment for expansion. - Comfort motors segment growth is expected mainly volume-driven, not margin expansion. - The return on capital for comfort motors will initially be lower but is expected to improve as volumes increase. - Agile saw a 65-70% forecasted volume increase, though Q1 profits showed higher expenses. - The Indian automotive market is estimated at 2.5 to 3 million pieces annually; growth depends on customer demand. - Growth pillars include reducing reliance on torque actuator motors (TAM) from 90% to under two-thirds post-merger and increasing non-automotive business. - Semi-organic growth through engineering and manufacturing competencies worldwide is being actively explored.

- The company intends to grow earnings and sales with a focus on EPS growth as volumes expand, particularly in the comfort motors segment (Page 20). - Return on capital for comfort motors expansion is targeted between 22%-25%, though this may need recalibration as the segment matures (Page 20). - Growth will largely come from volume increase rather than margin expansion, especially in areas where IP ownership is partial (comfort motors) (Page 20). - The merger with Agile is expected to contribute significantly to revenue and profit growth, supporting earnings expansion (Page 7, 14). - Semi-organic growth opportunities are being actively explored, representing about one-third of the future business mix, which could positively impact profits (Page 5). - The company expects to maintain above-average growth but will recalibrate targets as market dynamics evolve (Page 12). - Investment in technology and product diversification (e.g., brushless DC motors, new platforms with Bosch) supports future profitability (Page 20).
