FY22Q4 concall notes

  • Expect 18-20% revenue growth (mostly from increased volumes)
  • Industry benchmark for fixed asset turns are 1.75x. PI is already doing 2x+ fixed asset turns
  • Higher margins is due to change in product mix
  • Out of 7 new CSM molecules to be commercialized in FY23, 4 are from agchem and 3 from non-agchem
  • Will do 500 cr. CAPEX in FY23
  • Order book has remained stagnant in the last few years (at $1.4bn) because customers have been a little tentative of committing longer term contracts in the current uncertain scenario (and that too in geographies which are far away). Additionally, there has been increased competition from other domestic peers. All this being said, confident to sustain 20-25% growth in this business line for years to come. When PI started with this business line, they wanted a large order book for risk management purposes (which also came at a cost). Now PI has evolved and there is a different level of customer stickiness (where customer wants them as much as they want them)
  • Received 2 9(3) registrations in 2021 and expect 3 9(3) registrations in 2022

some people named sales point or something like that. Found this in twitter.someone shared this. couldn’t remember

This may be the trap.
Should not trust and not to post such without source messages.

No the person who posted it is a famous fund manger. And many experienced VP members follow him in Twitter. He mentioned the source of the data. You need to pay high amount to get the export data. It just shows how the institutions have more access to data than retail investors. It’s just that I forgot his name.
Anyway nothing that I post here is a recommendation.
