Transcription:

Company Update Superior Product Mix & New Age Markets to Aid Growth New investments to aid growth: Visaka continues to give a good set of numbers. YoY EPS grew at 142% aided by a revenue growth of 1.5% and an EBITDA expansion of 412 bps and we expect the margins to grow and EBITDA margin to reach 14.8% levels along with net profit margin reaching 6.6% levels by FY2E. We expect the investments made by the firm for expansion of capacities and new product launches to start paying off by FY2E. We expect improving capacity utilization levels to aid margins further. We retain BUY rating with a target price of Rs. 9 with an upside of 34%. On account of new investments made in expanding V-board capacities coupled with new roofing product launch called ATUM along with the company s focus in improving the non- asbestos revenue contribution, we expect the revenue to grow at 12% CAGR during FY17-FY2E and the margins to improve to 14.8% EBITDA & 6.6% net profit margin levels by FY2E. Enhance capacities coupled with de-risked in product mix: Visaka s brown-field expansion project to increase the fibre board capacities by 4% is expected to improve the profitability margins due to reduced lead time. The capacity at the new plant can further be increased to 75K MT from the current 5K MT. The outlook for asbestos sheets remains robust, in addition Visaka is planning to increase its non-asbestos revenue contribution to ~5% levels from the current 33% in next couple of years, which further adds to revenue with mitigated regulatory risk. New product launches along with strong reach: Visaka has launched an innovative solar roofing product, ATUM- a new age eco-friendly, energy efficient and energy generating roof and we expect a good amount of traction from industrial roofing segment for the product. We believe ATUM would become an upside catalyst in years to come. The company possesses a strong distribution network of more than 6, retailers mainly in rural and semi-urban markets; which aids in improved reach and increased sales. Valuation and Risks While continuing to remain positive about the company performance, we have upwardly revised the EPS by 8.2% for FY2E. We value the company at 18x (3 year average forward PE) to FY2E EPS and retain our BUY rating with a target price of Rs. 9 with an upside potential of 34%. Competition from alternate products along with potential ban on asbestos products may pose threat to the call.
