Среднесрочная перспектива: Высокий спрос и слабая конкуренция
5 отечественных производителей вагонов продолжают извлекать выгоду из избыточного спроса на замкнутом рынке СНГ, отмечая средний рост продаж за 9 месяцев 2007 на 48% по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года. Спрос стимулируется ростом в перевозке грузов, высокими потребностями в замене старых вагонов, и появлением новых финансовых каналов, таких как лизинг. Мы оцениваем, что спрос на вагоны будет расти до 2011 и пронозируем рост общих доходов украинских вагоностроителей в 2007-2010.
Долгосрочная перспектива: Потребность в диверсификации
Наличие широкого товарного микса будет иметь особую важность через 3-4 года, когда будут запущены новые производственные линии в СНГ. Мариупольский завод тяжелого машиностроения наиболее защищен от непостоянства спроса на вагоны, тогда, как доходы Днепровагонмаша, специализирующегося только на вагонах, скорее всего, снизятся после 2010.
Корпоративная активность будет поддерживать состояние отрасли
Мы ожидаем увидеть размещение акций украинскими производителями вагонов в ближайшие 12-18 месяцев. Следует следить за новостями всех пяти публично торгуемых компаний сектора. Растущая важность украинских вагоностроителей для рынка СНГ делает их привлекательными целями для поглощения для русских игроков – главными кандидатами являются Азовмаш (объединяющий Азовзагальмаш и Мариупольский завод тяжелого машиностроения) и Днепровагонмаш.
Высокие прибыли заслуживают качественной оценки
После динамики, исчисляемой трезначными числами в 2007, украинские вагоностроители торгуются на уровне 1.2x EV/Sales '07, вплотную к схожим компаниям на развивающихся рынках. Благодаря неэластичности спроса по цене, украинские производители удержат показатель EBITDA в среднем в 1.2-1.4 раза выше схожих компаний на развивающихся рынках, оправдывая солидную оценку по EV/Sales.

Mid-term outlook: High demand & low competition
The five domestic railcar producers continued to benefit from excess demand in the insulated CIS market, posting 48% yoy higher aggregated sales in 9M07. Demand is being stimulated by a rise in freight transportation (up 4-8% CAGR over the last three years), high replacement needs (up to xx% of CIS freight railcars are past their recommended service life), and the emergence of new financing channels such as leasing. We estimate demand for railcars will remain robust until 2011 and forecast xx% increase in the aggregated revenues of the five Ukrainian railcar producers over 2007-2010.
Long-term outlook: Diversification is an issue
Having a broad product mix will gain additional importance in 3-4 years when new railcar production capacities come on-stream in the CIS (increasing production capacity +xx% from 2006). Mariupol Heavy Machinery (xx% of sales are from wagons) is best protected from volatility in demand for railcars, while the revenues of pure wagon producer Dniprovahonmash are likely to decline after 2010.
Corporate activity will keep the sector hot
We expect to see share offerings by Ukrainian railcar producers in the next 12-18 months. All five stocks in our coverage are to be watched closely. Consolidation will become more visible, both domestically and cross-border. Ukrainian wagon manufacturers' growing importance on the CIS market makes them attractive takeover targets for Russian players - the main candidates are Azovmash (Azovzahalmash and Mariupol Heavy Machinery) and Dniprovahonmash.
High margins deserve premium valuations
After triple digit performance in 2007, Ukrainian railcar makers trade close to their emerging market peers at around 1.2x EV/Sales '07. With low price-elasticity of CIS demand for railcars in the midterm, Ukrainian producers will keep their EBITDA margins 1.2-1.4x above the EM peer average, justifying premium valuations by EV/Sales.
