Everest Math

He’s guiding for additional 15%-20% topline growth, give his run rate is 464 crores types a Quarter.

With Phase 1 of brownfield that just came online. Incrementally he will do 50 crores of sales a Quarter (200 crores annually)

Phase 2 comes online in Q2 FY23. That can generate 100 crores of additional.

He will be closing the year with 1735 crores of sales (assuming 50 crore starts adding next Q)

Disc:- uncomfortable with lack of numeracy from MDs side. Don’t think it will get a higher multiple than 7-9x ebitda. Pruned my stake substantially post the call, Return per stress per unit counts much more at the end. Can’t track a co, where MD doesn’t know the numbers every call.
