Company reported net profit after tax of Rs 51.03 Crore in latest quarter.

    Investment Rationale
    Welspun India reported an EBITDA of INR2.3bn below JMfe of INR2.5bn. The Company reported a 7.9% QoQ decrease in revenues to INR22.3bn. Consolidated EBITDA margins came in lower QoQ at 10.2% vs 3Q margin of 11.4%, impacted primarily by surge in raw material and freight cost. Net debt decreased sequentially to INR22.3bn. The capital light expansion at Vapi and Anjar announced in Q3FY21 has been completed during the quarter, with production expected to begin from 1QFY23. Inflation in commodity prices and logistical challenges are likely to result in muted demand environment in the near term. Consequently, the brokerage revises downward earnings/fair value. However, the long term structural story remains intact. Structural drivers like increased emphasis on health & hygiene driven by pandemic, duty reimbursement by GOI, US ban on Xinjiang imports and market share gain on China+1 theme are expected to drive earnings trajectory going forward. Further, FTA with Australia and India’s decision to set up a “trade and technology council” to boost bi-lateral trade between India and EU is likely to bode well for the company
