Apex Frozen Foods Ltd (Apex) is an integrated producer and exporter of processed shrimps based in Andhra Pradesh, South India. The company has a capacity of 29,240MT.
In Q3-FY23, Apex experienced a 1% year-on-year decline in revenue due to reduced demand in key export markets such as the US and EU, as well as a supply shortage of specific-size raw materials.
Despite the decline in export prices, the company managed to maintain stable realisation year-on-year, helped by rupee depreciation. This is because the decrease in the export price in dollars was offset by the depreciation of the rupee.
Apex's future growth will be driven by its backward integration (hatchery), an increase in the newly-added capacity, and a larger contribution from value-added products.
The company has expanded its ready-to-eat (RTE) capacity from 5,000MT to 10,000MT and anticipates starting commercial production in Q4-FY23.
Apex is currently awaiting approval to sell RTE products from the new capacity in the European market. Europe currently contributes to only 18% of total revenue.
The company's earnings are expected to grow at a 45% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over FY22-24.
Apex is currently trading at 9x 1Yr Forward Price to Earnings (Fwd P/E). The company is valued at 10x (3Yr Average=10x) on FY24 Earnings Per Share (EPS)
