GNA Axles Limited Going Towards Its All TIME HIGH's NSE:GNA
GNA Axles is engaged in the Business of manufactures auto components for the four-wheeler industry, primary product being Rear Axles, Shafts, Spindles & other Automobiles Components for sale in domestic and foreign market.
..................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................
..................................................................................................................
Key strengths
Extensive experience of promoters/management and long track record of operations
GNA was promoted by Late Rachhpall Singh and his brother Gursaran Singh, the latter being the company’s current managing
director with around five decades of industry experience. His son, Ranbir Singh, and other family members are also involved in
the company’s day-to-day business activities. The company directors are assisted by a team of professionals who are highly
experienced in their respective domains. Being established in 1946, the GNA group, which also includes GNA Gears Limited, has
a long track record of operations.
...............................................................................
Diversified revenue stream across product segments and geographies
The company supplies its products to varied segments of the automotive industry, including commercial vehicles (CV or the onhighway segment), tractors, farm equipment, and earth moving equipment (all three being part of the off-road segment). The
company derives significant income from export of its products to the US, Europe, Asia Pacific (Japan and China among others),
Mexico, Brazil, and so forth, with exports constituting around 53% of its total operating income (TOI) in FY23 (refers to April 1
to March 31) . The company is a Tier-1 vendor for its supplies in domestic off-road segment, while in the
exports markets, it supplies axles and spindles to larger and more established Tier-1 vendors.
................................................................................
Long and established relationship with customers
The GNA group has been operating in the auto component industry since 1946, thus having built time-tested relationship with
customers – with some ever since the commencement of its operations. Besides, it has been supplying to some of its export
customers since 2000. GNA markets its products through the common group marketing network catering a whole range of
products, including axles, gears, and shafts under one roof. The long and established relationship with customers provides revenue
stability to the company, subject to overall industry demand scenario.
....................................................................................
Reputed, though concentrated customer base
While GNA faces customer concentration with its top-5 and top-10 customers accounting for around 64% and around 80% of its
total gross sales in FY23, the risk is largely mitigated as the top revenue contributors are well-established players and enjoy strong
position in the industry. GNA is the main supplier of axle shafts to most of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) that it
supplies to, and by virtue of its long-standing relationships with the customers, the company has a strong market position. For
some of its export customers, the supplies are made by GNA for their plants in various countries, thereby mitigating the risk
arising from slowdown in one geographical location.
.........................................................................
Comfortable scale of operations with largely steady margins
In FY24, the company achieved TOI of ₹1,508.67 crore compared to a TOI of ₹1,582.93 crore in FY23 driven by moderation in
price realisations owing to weak tractor sales in the domestic market. The profit before interest, lease rentals, depreciation and
taxation (PBILDT) margin marginally declined to 13.24% in FY24 (PY: 14.70%). The profit after tax (PAT) margins declined to
6.63% in FY24 from 8.22% in FY23.
.......................................................................................
Comfortable financial risk profile
The company’s capital structure remained comfortable with long-term debt-to equity and overall gearing ratios of 0.04x and
0.24x, as on March 31, 2024, respectively (PY: 0.07x and 0.28x, respectively). The same improved mainly due to reduction in
debt and accretion of profits to the net worth. The company has low reliance on working capital borrowings as it only avails the
pre-shipment credit for exports and substantial portion of its inherently high working capital requirements are funded by internal
accruals. The interest coverage ratio remained healthy at 17.3x in FY24 (PY: 21.22x) due to healthy profitability and low interest
costs on foreign currency borrowings. The company’s total debt to PBILDT stood comfortable at 0.95 as on March 21, 2024 (PY:
0.87x).

Cash and cash equivalents of Rs 17 crore as on March 31, 2024, provide cushion to overall liquidity. Interest coverage ratio has improved to 60.4 times March 31, 2024. It is expected to remain healthy over the medium term.

• Expansion plans to increase warehousing presence for catering to the fast-growing demand of the organised sector• Snowman is first Indian cold chain company to introduce 5PL services, which offer innovative and integrated solutions
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Strengths:
Established market position in the temperature-controlled logistics industry: Snowman is the largest provider in the highly fragmented temperature-controlled warehousing, transportation and logistics industry in India. The company provides quality service and end-to-end solutions to customers in the temperature-controlled industry, thereby resulting in repeat orders and long-term contracts providing around 80% revenue visibility. As on March 31, 2023, the company had warehousing capacity of 1,35,552 pallets across 44 warehouses in 18 cities. It also had 239 refeer vehicles (refrigerated trucks) providing last-mile, inter-city distribution services through a consignment agency model. It caters to marquee customers in diversified end-user industries, such as seafood, pharmaceuticals, dairy, e-commerce and quick service restaurants (QSR). Under the dedicated warehouse segment, the company has opened 4 warehouses for e-commerce and pharmaceutical clients including Amazon, Fraazo, Impelpro, among others.
Adequate financial risk profile: Gearing was 0.25 times as on March 31, 2023, and is expected to remain low in the medium term. Debt protection metrics are adequate with interest coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios are ~4.3 times and 0.63 times, respectively, in fiscal 2023. Any higher-than-expected debt for funding capex could adversely impact the capital structure and debt protection metrics and will remain a key rating sensitivity factor.
Continued parentage of GDL: Post settlement of agreement between Snowman and Adani Logistics Ltd (ALL) in July 2020, GDL is the single largest owner with 40.25% stake in the company and substantial control on the board. The rating continues to benefit from moderate operational and strategic linkages with GDL, as both the companies offer complementary services in the logistics industry, thereby providing cross-selling opportunities to customers. GDL is one of the largest private players in the container freight station, railways and inland container depot businesses in India. Furthermore, Snowman is well established amongst the leading organised players, providing temperature-controlled services in India

ELECTCAST 3rd Time Knocking its All Time High with Weekly HammerNSE:ELECTCAST
The company was incorporated in November 1955, as Dalmia Iron & Steel Ltd and re-incorporated under the name of ECL in May 1965. ECL manufactures DI pipes with combined installed capacity of 7,45,000 MTPA. Combined production capacity for DI fittings and cast iron pipes is 21,000 MTPA and 90,000 MTPA, respectively. Through backward integration, the company also operates a blast furnace, coke oven and waste heat recovery-based power plant. Plants are in Khardah and Haldia in West Bengal, Elavur in Tamil Nadu, and Srikalahasthi in Andhra Pradesh.
Strengths:
Established position in the pipes industry with significant backward integration: The three-decade-long experience of the promoters in the ductile iron (DI) pipes industry has helped them establish significant market presence, expand production capacities, and undertake backward integration over the years. The facility is already utilised by over 90% and ECL plans to further add capacity of more than 2.5 lakh metric tonne per annum (MTPA) over the next two fiscals. This will enable the company to retain its leadership position in the DI pipe market. The company maintains strong trade relationships with reputed overseas customers and all major players in the domestic market. Limited competition, owing to large capital requirement and necessity to have critical accreditations and customer approvals, bolster the business risk profile. Performance is further supported by improving global and domestic demand, as reflected in a strong order book providing healthy revenue visibility.
Healthy financial risk profile: Networth and gearing have improved to Rs 5,111 crore and 0.44 time, respectively, as on March 31, 2024 (Rs 4,376 crore and 0.6 time, respectively, a year earlier), backed by better profitability and hence, steady accretion to reserves. Lower dependence on external debt and better working capital management should also aid the financial risk profile. Debt protection metrics remain comfortable with interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios at 5.7 times and 0.34 time, respectively, in fiscal 2024.

Key strengths
Transfer of assets to BHIT thereby enhancing its financial flexibility
GRIL has transferred 100% stake in seven operational NHAI assets to BHIT and received units worth ₹1,929 crore during Q4FY24
thus enhancing its financial flexibility. Following the transfer of operational assets to BHIT, GRIL retains four operational assets
in its portfolio, including one NHAI annuity project, one state HAM project, and the balance two NHAI HAM projects (one project
received PCOD during Q4FY24).
As indicated by the management, the InvIT units will have a lock-in period of one year from the
date of the allotment. GRIL has also entered into a right of first offer (ROFO) agreement with the InvIT, pursuant to which, GRIL
will grant a ROFO to InvIT, thus allowing the company to unlock its equity. Additionally, dividend income is also expected from
the InvIT.
Healthy outstanding order book position of the company
GRIL had a healthy outstanding order book position of ₹₹18,680 crore as on December 31, 2023, as against ₹19,529 crore as on
March 31, 2023, indicating revenue visibility of 2.29x of the FY23 TOI. The majority of these orders are with a price variation
clause, thereby shielding GRIL’s profitability from adverse movements in the prices to an extent. The order book is also
geographically diversified with presence in more than 11 states, with no state contributing to more than 25% of the order book.
Furthermore, GRIL has segmentally diversified its portfolio by venturing into new segments of ropeway, multi-modal logistics
park, hydro power project, transmission which is expected to reduce its dependence on the road sector.
The order inflow during current year i.e. FY24 has been slow due to lower awarding in road sector. Nevertheless, healthy order
book position provides revenue visibility over medium term.
Expected range-bound scale of operations in FY24 with stable profitability
GRIL’s scale of operations have shown a healthy growth over the last five years, despite COVID-19 related disruptions.
The TOI grew at a healthy CAGR of 13% over the last five years ended FY23 from ₹4,952 crore during FY19 to ₹8,149 crore during FY23,
led by strong execution capabilities. During FY23, the TOI remained stagnant over FY22 due to a low order intake and the pending
receipt of the appointed date of eight HAM projects. The TOI is expected to remain almost stagnant in FY24; however, it is
expected to witness minor de-growth in FY25 on Y-o-Y basis due to pending receipt of the appointed date in projects. secured in
FY23.
The surge in commodity prices and intense competition in the road sector led to minor moderations in the margins of GRIL,
in line with other industry players, during the last five years ended March 31, 2023. Nevertheless, the margins continued to remain
healthy at 16.12% for FY23.
However, the margins declined to 13.32% during 9MFY24 on account of lesser execution in Q2FY24
due to monsoon and pending receipt of appointed date in HAM projects. Correspondingly, during 9MFY24, GRIL reported TOI of
₹5,532 crore as against ₹6,153 crore during 9MFY23.

Strengths:
Stable cash flow from the O&M services business to support overall debt servicing: The Group has ~14.5 GW of installed fleet under O&M business as on Dec 31, 2023. While the fleet under O&M reduces with decommissioning of WTGs, post completion of the design life, new wind turbine generators delivered and commissioned get added to the fleet every fiscal. Revenue from O&M services has been steady as this is contractual activity over a fixed timeframe and at contracted price. Also, escalation in revenue is inbuilt into the contracts, ensuring stability of operating margin over a period. The Group has demonstrated stability in revenue and profitability of O&M services business even in stressed times in the past. Stable cash flow with EBIDTA above Rs 700 crore per fiscal from the O&M services business is expected going forward.
Leading market position in the wind turbine segment and a healthy order book: The Group has a successful track record of project execution with technical expertise, evident from the healthy market share of 30-35% in the WTG business in India over the past many years and also in cumulative installed capacity. The company’s healthy market position should help to obtain orders in the long run. SEL’s order book stood at ~3.16 GW (as on 31st Jan 24), to be executed till fiscal 2026. The company has been able to overcome the dependence on customer-backed financing to execute orders which had constrained growth in the last fiscal.
Improved financial risk profile: The term debt stood at Rs. 1,773 crores as on March 31, 2023, on the back of scheduled repayments of term loan and additional reduction of ~Rs 900 crores from rights issue in October 2022. Furthermore, the company’s networth turned positive as on March 31, 2023 on the back of refinancing (gain on derecognition of OCDs & CCPS) and rights issue of Rs 1,200 crores in fiscal 2023.
On August 14, 2023, the company approved the allotment of equity shares to Qualified Institution buyers aggregating to ~Rs. 2,000 crores. The company subsequently utilized the required amount to repay its entire debt at SEL, significantly improving the financial risk profile of the company. Further, SEL does not have material debt funded capex plans over medium term.

The Company made a pioneering leap towards community water
resource management projects through its flagship Project NANNEER
• Under the first phase, seven lakes and ponds in Oonaiyur area
(Pudukkottai and Sivagangai district in TN) were desilted across 250
acres (depth of 1-3 meter)
• Under the second phase, twelve lakes and ponds (in the Cuddalore,
Tiruppur, Villupuram and Erode districts in TN) were desilted across
127
• The excess desilted soil was utilized to create islands in each of the
water bodies. Close to 1100 Million Liters were conserved in Phase 1
and 2.
• Currently third phase being planned in TN, KN and AP.
• The Company aims to achieve Ten Billion liters of water holding
capacity through Project NANNEER by the end of 2026.
Increase in Cash Fixed Cost in FY’24 majorly due to:
• Manpower capability building for project expansion and new business
• CPG infrastructure building
• Special repairs undertaken in major plants
Lower cane volume by 1.7 LMT over last year further contributed to the
increase in CFC/MT
Increase in cane cost, drop in recovery & yield due to climatic
conditions, restriction in sugar diversion for ethanol has led to drop in
EBITDA.
The benefits on expansion of distillery capacities are expected to flow
in FY’25
