Valuation commentary
The Company's expected EBITDA margin is 30.0% vis-à-vis the expected 20.0% of the Industry. The
company trades at an EBITDA Multiple of ~9x. As the company is expected to have a high FCFF to
Net Sales ratio, a good amount of cash is generated from sales. Moreover, with a current ratio of 1.5x
and a strong cash balance, the commpany mightl be able to do the capex without the need for any
additional debt. However, the compay is expcted to lag behind the industry level growth on topline
front, which can be a major concern.
