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).

PARAS DEFENCE Getting Support @ Previous ALL Time HighNSE:PARAS Positive factors – The outlook will be revised to Stable if the company demonstrates a material improvement in its working capital cycle and liquidity position, along with improvement in earnings and scale of operations. Healthy order book provides medium-term revenue visibility – The company’s fresh order inflows over the past four fiscals remained adequate, with orders worth ~Rs. 621 crore added in the last 21 months ending December 31, 2023. The pending order book of Rs. 526.3 crore as on December 31, 2023 (OB/OI ratio of 2.4 times of the OI in FY2023) provides medium-term revenue visibility. Comfortable capital structure and healthy coverage indicators – The company’s capital structure remains comfortable with TOL/TNW of 0.3 times as on September 30, 2023, supported by equity infusion of Rs. 162.3 crore during FY2021-FY2022 and low debt levels. The interest coverage stood at 12.2 times in 9M FY2024 due to the limited dependence on external borrowings to fund its working capital. Going forward, ICRA expects the coverage indicators to remain comfortable, benefitting from the scale-up in operations, given the strong order pipeline. Extensive experience of management team – PDSTL’s promoters have more than three decades of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of engineering products and solutions for the defense and space sector in the domain of optics, heavy engineering and electronics. Its long presence in the defence and space sector has helped to establish strong relationships with its customers as well as suppliers. It has developed a strong management and execution team comprising several ex-employees of BEL and DRDO, among others. High working capital intensity due to elongated receivables cycle – The business is working capital intensive with NWC/OI of 88.3% and 114.8% in FY2023 and H1 FY2024, respectively, owing to the high inventory holding period and long receivables cycle. The inventory levels are high because of additional stocking of critical raw materials to avoid any disruption in the delivery schedules and high work-in-progress due to elongated manufacturing cycle. PDSTL has been partly managing its working capital cycle by stretching its trade payables by more than three months as it has a longstanding relationship with most of its suppliers and availing mobilisation advance for part orders. Going forward, the company’s ability to alleviate its working capital intensity while scaling up its revenues and improving its operating margins will be the key rating monitorable. Moderate scale of operations – Though the company reported a robust YoY revenue growth of 21% and 10% in FY2023 and 9M FY2024, respectively, supported by healthy order book and the timely execution of orders, the scale of operations still remains moderate. Given the Government’s thrust on ‘Make in India’ in the defence sector, PDSTL has been mainly catering to domestic demand (~84% of OI contributed by domestic orders in FY2023). Driven by the healthy order book status, ICRA expects the company to sustain its revenue growth in FY2024 and FY2025. High customer concentration risk, though largely mitigated by reputed customer base and repeat orders – The company faces client concentration risk with top three clients contributing 46% to the total order book as on December 31, 2023 and top five clients accounting for 51% of the revenue in FY2023. The client profile mostly comprises government organisations with repeat orders received over the years, largely mitigating the counterparty credit risk. A major part of PDSTL’s clientele included reputed government organisations, namely Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (a unit of ISRO), BEL, Instruments Research and Development Establishment (a unit of DRDO) and private companies like RRP S4E Innovation Private Limited and Unifab Engineering Project Private Limited. The company has long standing relationships with most of its clientele. PDSTL also exports to companies based in Israel, Singapore and USA.

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.

P ositive factors • Significant growth in the scale of operations on a sustained basis with substantial segmental diversification in the revenue stream while maintaining low leverage. 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.

PARAS DEFENCE Broken & Sustained Above 133 Weeks HighPositive factors – The outlook will be revised to Stable if the company demonstrates a material improvement in its working capital cycle and liquidity position, along with improvement in earnings and scale of operations. Healthy order book provides medium-term revenue visibility – The company’s fresh order inflows over the past four fiscals remained adequate, with orders worth ~Rs. 621 crore added in the last 21 months ending December 31, 2023. The pending order book of Rs. 526.3 crore as on December 31, 2023 (OB/OI ratio of 2.4 times of the OI in FY2023) provides medium-term revenue visibility. Comfortable capital structure and healthy coverage indicators – The company’s capital structure remains comfortable with TOL/TNW of 0.3 times as on September 30, 2023, supported by equity infusion of Rs. 162.3 crore during FY2021-FY2022 and low debt levels. The interest coverage stood at 12.2 times in 9M FY2024 due to the limited dependence on external borrowings to fund its working capital. Going forward, ICRA expects the coverage indicators to remain comfortable, benefitting from the scale-up in operations, given the strong order pipeline. Extensive experience of management team – PDSTL’s promoters have more than three decades of experience in designing, developing and manufacturing a wide range of engineering products and solutions for the defence and space sector in the domain of optics, heavy engineering and electronics. Its long presence in the defence and space sector has helped to establish strong relationships with its customers as well as suppliers. It has developed a strong management and execution team comprising several ex-employees of BEL and DRDO, among others. High working capital intensity due to elongated receivables cycle – The business is working capital intensive with NWC/OI of 88.3% and 114.8% in FY2023 and H1 FY2024, respectively, owing to the high inventory holding period and long receivables cycle. The inventory levels are high because of additional stocking of critical raw materials to avoid any disruption in the delivery schedules and high work-in-progress due to elongated manufacturing cycle. PDSTL has been partly managing its working capital cycle by stretching its trade payables by more than three months as it has a longstanding relationship with most of its suppliers and availing mobilisation advance for part orders. Going forward, the company’s ability to alleviate its working capital intensity while scaling up its revenues and improving its operating margins will be the key rating monitorable. Moderate scale of operations – Though the company reported a robust YoY revenue growth of 21% and 10% in FY2023 and 9M FY2024, respectively, supported by healthy order book and the timely execution of orders, the scale of operations still remains moderate. Given the Government’s thrust on ‘Make in India’ in the defence sector, PDSTL has been mainly catering to domestic demand (~84% of OI contributed by domestic orders in FY2023). Driven by the healthy order book status, ICRA expects the company to sustain its revenue growth in FY2024 and FY2025. High customer concentration risk, though largely mitigated by reputed customer base and repeat orders – The company faces client concentration risk with top three clients contributing 46% to the total order book as on December 31, 2023 and top five clients accounting for 51% of the revenue in FY2023. The client profile mostly comprises government organisations with repeat orders received over the years, largely mitigating the counterparty credit risk. A major part of PDSTL’s clientele included reputed government organisations, namely Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (a unit of ISRO), BEL, Instruments Research and Development Establishment (a unit of DRDO) and private companies like RRP S4E Innovation Private Limited and Unifab Engineering Project Private Limited. The company has long standing relationships with most of its clientele. PDSTL also exports to companies based in Israel, Singapore and USA.

Moderate profitability albeit moderation in scale of operations PIL’s Total operating income (TOI) declined by 35% y-o-y to Rs. 184.11 crores as against Rs.285.40 crore in FY22. The decline was on account of decrease in quartz sales due to levying of anti-dumping duty in July 2022 by U.S. Department of Commerce and no sales from trading of iron ore in FY23. The anti-dumping duty was subsequently reversed in January 2023. In 9MFY24, PIL achieved sales of Rs. 134.93 crores. PBILDT margin of PIL moderated by 322 bps to 7.55% in FY23 as against 10.46% in FY22 on account of higher raw material cost as well as lower absorption of overhead costs. However, in 9MFY24, PBILDT margin improved to 13.94% on the back of lower manufacturing expenses. Comfortable capital structure albeit moderate debt coverage indicators The capital structure of PIL improved with overall gearing of 0.43x as on FY23 end (1.25x in FY22). Improvement in overall gearing was on account of successful completion of rights issue of Rs.47.53 crore in February 2023 which resulted in augmentation of networth base as well as reduction in o/s debt with repayment of USL from directors/ subsidiaries and repayment of working capital borrowings. The debt coverage indicators however continued to remain moderate in FY23 due to lower profitability with PBILDT interest coverage of 1.72x (4.50x in FY22) and total debt/ GCA of 5.53x (6.20x in FY22)

#GODREJAGRO Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 51.6% Debtor days have improved from 37.4 to 22.4 days. Company's working capital requirements have reduced from 58.6 days to 46.1 days Strengths: Diversified business presence: The company’s focus on diversification into newer segments such as palm oil, crop protection, dairy and poultry over the past 7-8 fiscals in order to lower its concentration in the animal feed business (revenue contribution down to around 49% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from 80% in fiscal 2012) supports its overall business risk profile and provides cushion against slowdown in any business segment. In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, overall revenue saw modest growth of 2% year-on-year, largely on account of healthy volume growth in most of the business segments, apart from the business under the subsidiary, Astec Lifesciences, which faced competitive pressures for its key enterprise products. The volume growth was offset by negative or modest expansion in realisations, especially in the palm oil, poultry and animal feed segments, leading to a muted revenue growth. Operating margin, however, improved on a year-on-year basis, to 7.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as against 5.7% for fiscal 2023, backed by lower input prices in dairy and poultry segments and higher operating levels in the animal feed and crop protection segments. The improvement in operating margin was the highest in crop protection segment, supported by strong volumes and realisations in the in-licensed product portfolio, apart from the dairy segment where operating margin improved substantially, on the back of lower milk procurement prices and operating efficiency, from operating losses seen last year. On the other hand, operating margin declined in the Astec Lifesciences segment, as it faced continued price erosion and subdued demand for its key enterprise product, despite robust performance by its contract manufacturing segment. Dominant position in the domestic animal feed and palm oil segments: GAL enjoys a dominant position in the domestic organised animal feed industry with presence across various sub-categories such as cattle, broiler, layer, fish, shrimp and other feeds. The company's efforts are driven by research and development to achieve cost leadership and competitiveness, which have supported its volume growth. The segment continued to see traction across sub-segments, especially in cattle feed and aqua feed, during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. Being the second largest consumer of palm oil in the world, India’s demand for domestic palm oil is expected to remain robust. The segment registered compounded annual growth rate of 16% over the eight fiscals through 2023, with healthy operating margin of above 19% over the period. Strong volume growth expected over the medium term, along with the longer shelf-life volumes coming from company’s newly set up oil refinery, would help keep operating margins healthy. Strong financial risk profile: Financial risk profile remains strong as reflected in gearing of 0.48 time as on December 31, 2023 and interest coverage of 7.55 times in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, versus 0.44 times and 5.62 times, respectively, as on December 31, 2022. Debt levels declined slightly to Rs 1,203 crore as on December 31, 2023 from Rs 1,321 crore as on March 31, 2023. Debt levels are expected to remain range-bound over the medium term on the back of strong cash accruals from the business, despite the capital expenditure (capex) plan and working capital requirements, because of which the overall financial risk profile would remain comfortable. Strong financial flexibility from being part of the Godrej group: GAL enjoys strong financial flexibility being part of the Godrej group and has the ability to raise debt at competitive rates and on short notice. It is able to directly derive implicit benefits being part of the Godrej group and without a formal arrangement of support with the parent, group companies or promoters.
