Company’s UK subsidiary - Carysil Products Ltd, clocked a 9M revenue run rate of 72 cr vs last yr’s 12 M run rate of 89 cr
EBITDA margins were adversely impacted due integration of United Granite LLC ( kitchen top fabrication company in USA ). From Q4, expect EBITDA margins to sustain at around 20 pc

Current Steel sink capacity @ 1.8 lakh sinks/yr
Company has opened 03 state of the art showrooms @ Mumbai, Gurugram, Ahmedabad - to showcase their full range of products including appliances
Company is trading and manufacturing ( some of them ) appliances like - Chimneys, Wine Chillers, Dish Washers, Hoods, Cook Tops, Microwave Owens, Built in Owens
Company’s current dealer network @ 3200, distribution network @ 85 in the domestic market
90 pc of company’s exports are on FoB basis. Hence the impact of Red Sea issue on company’s margins should be minimum
Company has tied up with the biggest retailer (ie Howdens UK ) of Kitchen Surfaces, Sinks, appliances, modular Kitchens etc in UK . They do an annual sales of > 25000 cr with an EBITDA margins of around 20 pc. They sell 10k Sinks / week. Company has received their first order from them. It’s a sizeable order !!!
Company’s new facility capable of manufacturing > 1 lakh Kitchen appliances / yr to be operational by end Mar 24
Commercial supply of SS sinks to IKEA to begin in Q4. Should be a reasonably good Qty
Q3 is generally a weak Qtr for the company due Christmas holidays. Q4 should see some sales and margins pick up
In India, company’s B2B business ( like selling directly to builders ) is looking encouraging. Confident of doing 200 cr topline from India business inside next 2 yrs. Hiring a lot of people in the B2B segment
Because of the Red Sea issue, the freight costs for the Chinese products have gone up even further. Its a kind of blessing for the company
The recent acquisition - United Granite LLC in US did a revenues of 15 cr in Q3. When acquired, this company was doing an EBITDA margins of around 10 pc
Company is bullish on its faucets and taps business. Compny’s products have received very good customer response. This business should also pick up going forward
Company’s guidance of 1000 cr topline may be achieved in FY 25 or latest by FY 26
Disc: had sold earlier at around 1100 levels. Have started buying again, biased, not SEBI registered
Disc: I ve trimmed my holdings in Narayen Hrudayalya and KIMS by around 40 pc. Both these were among my top 5 holdings. I did this because of the recent observations made by the Supreme Court on the pricing models of private hospitals
Although, I firmly believe that the observations made little economic sense and better sense will eventually prevail. I still sold - just to be safe. Plus, I was sitting on descent gains in both these stocks
Bought the following in lieu -

Top 10 customers represent 45 pc of total sales
Company has acquired adjacent land parcel for future expansion. Have also purchased a land parcel 20 km from their existing site for backward integration projects
Company has spent 60 cr towards a new CDMO facility. Should go live by end of Q1 FY 25
Four new products from Anti-Diabetes, Anti-Anxiety and Aesthetic therapies are lined up for launch in FY 25
Company believes that a sustainable EBITDA margin for them should be between 28-30 pc for medium to long term. Company guiding for > 20 pc growth in revenue ( CAGR ) for next 3 yrs
Aim to hit a 1000 cr topline in next 3 yrs. Major growth drivers should be -
Descent growth should continue in company’s top 3 molecules
Company has a basket of 8-10 molecules that are now scaling up well in the regulated markets
Company expects CMO/CDMO to scale up well. Already have got a descent size contract for an export substitute anti-anaesthetic molecule. Most countries including US, EU, India are dependent on China for this prodct. Once the company ramps up this product, it can potentially be a large molecule for the company. Plus the company is likely to get more opportunities
LATAM countries have completely revamped their regulatory framework. It has a become far stricter now. Company expects its LATAM business to accelerate going fwd as they have just cleared the Brazilian Audit in Jan 24
From Q2 FY 25, company will start commercial supplies of Whey Protein. This will further add to the revenue growth. Company expects to ramp up commercial supplies to 800-900 MT/yr iro Whey Protien
Currently, the top 3 products contribute to 45 odd pc of the revenues. In the next 3 yrs or so, company expects this to come down to 25 pc of revenues as other products ramp up
Expecting higher topline in Q4 vs Q3 with margins @ 28-30 pc

Shivalik Bimetal Controls -
Q3 FY 24 results and concall highlights -
Revenues - 112 vs 108 cr ( up 4.3 pc )
EBITDA - 24 vs 28 cr ( margins @ 22 vs 26 pc )
PAT - 16 vs 18 cr
Company has 03 manufacturing capacities - all three located at Solan ( HP )
Plant - 1 - makes Shunt resistors using Electron Beam Welding technique ( difficult to master ). Shunt resistors are used to measure and regulate the flow of current in an electrical circuit. Find application in - EVs, smart meters, energy storage, power storage modules. Peak sales potential of this plant @ 700 cr
Plant -2 - makes Bimetal strips. Metals are joined post heating, taking advantage of their different coefficients of expansion as they respond to heating. Post bonding finishing is also done in-house. These are critical components used in overload protection devices. Find applications in - Switchgears, Medical devices, electrical appliances etc. Peak sales potential of this plant @ 600 cr
Plant -3 - makes electrical contacts. Contact materials used in such components are alloys of precious metals joined on to copper or copper alloys. These are the critical connecting points when a switch is turned on/off. Find applications in - smart meters, switchgears, wires and accessories etc. Peak sales potential of this plant @ 300 cr
Segment wise revenues -
Shunts - 51 vs 57 cr ( 50 pc of this is from the EV segment applications, around 20 pc from smart meters applications , 10 pc from energy storage applications and rest from Misc applications )
Bimetals ( includes electrical contacts ) - 61 vs 50 cr ( 65 pc from switch gears and circuit breaker applications, 15 pc from electrical appliances, 10 pc into metering apps and rest from misc applications )
Avg value of Shunts per EV varies from as low as Rs 20-30 to as high as Rs 2000 per EV , basically depending on EV to EV
Expect North American mkts for Shunt Resistors to start picking up from second half of this CY as the over stocking / inventory problems are likely to be behind by then
Smart meters demand from GoI’s initiatives is definitely an exiting opportunity. Company sees good demand from these initiatives going fwd
Company is in the process of forming a JV with Metalor Technologies. Metalor is the global leader in Bimetals and Contacts business. Exact modalities of the JV are yet to be formalised. Due diligence in progress
New facility for making Silver contacts is under construction ( 10 Km from Solan - towards Shimla ). This plant should be functional in next 4-5 months. Peak revenue potential of this plant should be around 250 cr
Base growth for next FY should be > 10 pc. However, if the EV mkt in US revives, this growth can be as high as 30 pc. Actually, all the company’s product segments are growing @ rates > 20 pc except the Shunt resistors for EVs due to the over-stocking and slowdown in North American EV mkts
Company’s revenue per smart meter should be aprox Rs 60-70 ( including both shunts and contacts )
Promoter do not have plans for further stake sale in the company
Present EBITDA margins for the contact business are around 11 pc. With new plant going on stream, margins should improve. Aiming at 1-2 pc margin expansion
EBITDA margins in the Shunts business are double or more vs the contacts business

Company - on track and confident of adding 50 new ( big and small ) hotels and 4500 new rooms by 2030. Will be opening smaller hotels at Leisure locations ( avg of 40-50 rooms per hotel ) and bigger hotels at City locations ( avg of 200 rooms per hotel ). Will be adding more Hotels at Leisure locations
Hotels in MENA region adversely affected by the conflict in Gaza in Q3 - specially for the hotels in Egypt
RIL continues to hold 19 pc, ITC continues to hold 14 pc stake in EIH
Company is confident of sustaining 29 -30 pc EBITDA margins on an annual basis for next 2-3 yrs
Current ARRs in India are at around Rs 20k / room / night for a Oberoi level 5-Star hotel. In the International mkts, similar hotels fetch an ARR of aprox 85-90k / room / night. Therefore, the company believes that there is significant headroom for ARRs to grow in India
Current number of 5 star and above rooms avlb in India @ 1.65 lakh. New supply coming on stream till FY 28 @ 0.55 lakh. Basically the demand - supply dynamics look good for next 5 yrs !!!
Company is expecting strong demand scenario to continue in the premium segment and that is where the company operates. See ARRs / Occupancies to remain firm
Airline catering that the company is doing is primarily focussed on International routes. They do operate on select domestic routes as well. Continue to be bullish on that business. This business has a lot of Operating leverage that can kick in going forward

Gross profit - 485 vs 327 cr, up 48 pc

Regular brands ( regular 8 PM and below ) - 199 vs 225 cr, down 11 pc

Net Debt ( minus Cash ) @ 669 cr, down by 101 cr from Sep 23 levels
Rampur Single malt - now available in 14 states in India
Jaisalmer Gin - now available in 20 states in India

Magic moments Vodka - commanding 59 pc Mkt share in Vodka Mkt in India. Launched a new variant -Remix Pink in Q3
8 PM premium - crossed 3 million cases within 3 yrs of launch. Growing strongly
Morpheus Brandy - commanding 59 pc mkt share in Brandy Mkt in India
New Launch - Spirit of Victory 1999 - in Luxury category ( like Rampur, priced at > Rs 5000/bottle )
Witnessing high inflation in the Grain prices ( a key RM )
The success of Magic Moments, 8 PM premium and Morpheus is giving them a lot of strength in retail trade to push luxury brands like - Jaisalmer, Rampur, Ranthambhore
See pressure to continue in the regular brands in Q4 as well. Prestige and Above should continue to grow. Also, the company’s focus is skewed towards prestige and above brands
Likely to continue to sell 430-450 cr kind of non-IMFL sales for some time to come. This is a low EBITDA kind of business with margins @ 5-6 pc. As the prestige and above sales ramp up over time, company will divert the Sitapur plant’s output towards making Prestige and Above brands away from Non-IMFL business. This is a gradual process
Aim to be debt free in 2 yrs. Most of the heavy capex is behind them
As the inflationary pressures ease, the profitability and volumes of regular brands should improve in next FY
Company’s Mkt share in spirits in fast growing UP mkt is a whopping 28 pc
In 3-5 yrs, aiming for 55-60 pc of volumes and 80 pc of sales coming from prestige and above category
Looking at new launches in future to fill portfolio gaps… like for eg - brands opposite BP, Royal Stag etc

Decorative ( Domestic ) : Industrial sales mix for the company @ 65 : 35

Disc: holding, biased, valuations now appear reasonable, may add more, not SEBI registered
What are that exceptional gain of 35cr?
Also previous year the company had other income of 245cr, from where these income is generating,any idea?
Thank you so much sir for all your hardwork that you are doing and providing summary of so many good companies,thereby saving alot of time.
Hi, was wondering why this KAMATHOTEL stock is trading at PE of around 2 while most other hotels are trading at PE in excess of 50.
Can you throw some light on this?
I dont follow hotel stocks, neither do i follow this particular stock but just looked at the earnings of Kamath hotel, thers an other income source (exceptional items) for Mar2023 quarter and the amount is significantly high.
Remove that item from earnings
Recalculate the PE, you will get the actual PE

Current land bank -
Panvel > 100 acres
Thane > 100 acres
Bhandup > 100 acres
Dombivali > 50 acres
Assuming FSI of 2.0 for the above mentioned land bank, the company can potentially do a sales of 30,000 cr ( assuming a selling price of Rs 10k/sq ft ) over say - next 10 yrs. However, this is just a rough calculation done by me
Most of the land bank is held by the parent company ( of the Marathon group ). They get into an agreement with Marathon Nextgen to develop and sell in return for 12.5 pc of the topline of the project sold. This is a low capital intensity model and should work out well for the company
Confident of hitting 15-20 pc CAGR in revenues in years to come
Company makes an EBITDA margin band of 35-45 pc for most projects. In some commercial projects, EBITDA margins go to as high as 50 pc
Company has no plans to go beyond MMR region as of now. Company is likely to go for re-development projects in future. These are high RoI projects as the company doesn’t have to buy land
Aim to reduce debt by 20 pc every year. Aim to be at minimal debt levels in 3-4 yrs

This exceptional item relates to a sale of Hotel by the company
The company has sold one of its Hotel property to reduce its debt levels. The company has taken over the same hotel on lease from the new owner
What a smart move by the management.At one side they reduce the debt and on other side they don’t lose the hotel and their expertise to run that hotel will become Win-Win for both the party.My only ques is why a new company first buy the hotel and then give back to the same owner back on lease,is the owing group is too large that have so much money but lack expertise in that field or what is the case.?And which group bought that hotel any idea?
At last thank you so much .
The company had a lot of trouble in the past due over leveraged balance sheet. They borrowed aggressively for growth in early 2010s. At the same time, the Hotel Industry witnessed a prolonged slowdown. It was a perfect storm for them. They have managed to wriggle out of trouble only recently
Presently, their Debt levels are down to 200 odd cr from a peak of 700 cr or so in 2012 or 2013
This sale of the hotel asset is a further step towards de-leveraging
I guess you mistaken my question.I was asking that why acquirer of that Hotel gave back that Hotel again to Kamat on lease?
Must be due to lack of expertise. Yes
Plus, they would ve got a descent deal from Kamat Hotels as they were running it previously and would be more confident of making money on that property despite paying higher rent / lease amounts
Thank you.
To be honest i read all Q3 concall summary posted by you and it saved lot of my time, increase my knowledge and helped me in idea generation.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Sukriya sir
Can you please share your portfolio allocation and how you generate around 20% CAGR by having around 70-80 stocks in your portfolio and the rational to why you pursue that strategy?

The inventory issues that were affecting the company previously are mostly behind them
Management is keeping healthy cash balances ( > 350 cr ) on the balance sheet - are open to inorganic acquisitions
