Here are some of the key takeaways from the financials of the company for the last 3 years.
- The revenues have grown at a robust pace in the last 2 years and in the latest year FY23, the total sales more than doubled over FY21. More importantly, this has been accompanied by growth in the net profit levels and net profit margins (PAT margins).
- While net margins of the company are fairly attractive at 7.13%, it has built up traction in the last 2 years. The return on equity (ROE) stands at 14.72% in FY23, while the return on assets (ROA) is robust at 10.68% in FY23. The size of the equity is proving to be a drag on the ROE of Vilas Transcore Ltd.
- The asset turnover ratio or the sweating ratio has been healthy at 1.50X and that is good considering the capital intensity of the business. However, this sweating ratio also gets supported by the robust levels of return on assets (ROA).
The company has latest year EPS of ₹11.20 and we have not included the weighted average EPS, since the previous year data is not exactly comparable. The latest year earnings are being discounted by the IPO price of ₹147 per share at 13-14 times P/E ratio. One has to look at the P/E ratio from two perspectives. Since the company is yet to announce the FY24 results, we can use available data to extrapolate. The 4-month EPS for FY24 stands at ₹4.05 per share and when extrapolated to full-year EPS of ₹12.15, it translates into a more reasonable P/E ratio of 12 times earnings.
In addition, Vilas Transcore Ltd also brings some intangible advantages to the table. It has a long standing track record in the manufacture of input equipment for transformers and power equipment sector. Also, the long standing relationships with customers matter as this is a mission critical input for the power sector. Its financial position is fairly strong and the stock is well capitalized, although that has been a drag on ROE. One question that the company has not answered is how the ROE will grow, since that is the key to valuations. Investors must be satisfied on this point. However, this would be an investment that entails a higher level of risk and longer waiting period.
