Decent Results from Rossell India.
Also considering demerger of Rossell Techsys from Tea Business. Would love to hear your thoughts here @ayushmit sir.

This demerger development comes as a big positive surprise! I feel this sector has lot of tailwinds with manufacturing moving to India and Rossell has been aggressively getting more and more orders. In past many people used to reject the idea because of the tea business being present…perhaps this will now interest more people. On the concern - valuations are not cheap now and the company needs to scale up faster on the aviation segment.

The latest annual report of the company is out and as usual its very optimistic 
Anyways given the tailwinds in the sector its good to see the developments…hopefully the co will start delivering the nos also
There are few other interesting things too in the annual report. One negative is the increase in remuneration being proposed to 15% of NP…i feel investors should raise objection towards it.

5 years ago there were the following subdivisions of the company, Rossell tea, Techsys, Aerospace Services, and Hospitality. In 2019, the company’s focus became clear that Techsys is the next growth engine and they proceeded to shut off hospitality and aerospace services. In 2019, revenues from Techsys was 98 crs which now has become 185 crs (which is a 13% cagr). Here revenue jumps are possible on the acquisition of new clients/new platforms which is a long business. Along with this, due to the nature of the industry, it had a very long cash conversion cycle due to high inventory levels. The company has been able to cater to this, this year by shifting some inventory purchases to be done locally. How they win contracts is by establishing a relationship with an aerospace company, then they are invited to RFP(request for proposal) by them. Once the company receives all RFPs the price is locked according to their proposal not subjected to be changed for the entirety of the duration. Wire Harness as a market is just under $2 Billion with the Industry going through a consolidation. The company believes in value unlocking due to 2 areas, demerger of both divisions and new business (expectation of Boeing and Lockheed to expand along with adding IAI as a client).
The company has reduced almost all of its long-term borrowing. Hoping to see the efforts end up bettering return rations.

Ayush Ji they are not participating in TEJAS program.
What is the recording date for the eligibility to get Russelll Techsys shares, if someone buying Rosell India now still eligible to get the Rusesell Techsys share, or is the time over for that?

Looks like the competition is increasing in this space with increased interest in EMS companies. The recently listed company like Cyient DLM has aerospace wiring harness division with Honeywell as it’s main customer and it’s working with this company in many areas including the design and development and testing of avionics components through it’s parent organization Cyient Ltd. Because of this parent company link they are very strong in design lead manufacturing. As the market is big it may not be concern at this point in time, however it’s better to watch the competitor companies. I have invested in Rossell India and started tracking position in the Cyient DLM.

From the Annual Report
Rossell Tea produces some of the finest CTC and Orthodox Tea, exported to many countries like Canada, UK, Germany, Netherland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt etc.
Rossell Techsys offers value added services for leading global OEMs in Aerospace & Defence, for both military and commercial platforms. We cater to different platforms such as fighters, trainers, helicopters, unmanned ground vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, rockets, battle tanks, commercial jets and aero engine derivatives. We serve both the export and domestic sector. Major exports (~80%) are to USA, Europe and Israel. Rossell Techsys is specialized in Build to Specifications (BTS) and Build to Print (BTP).
To summarize, we anticipate the production being lower than last year due to adverse weather conditions and the increased testing of teas will restrict the use of chemicals. CTC prices may be somewhat similar to last year but marginally better for us owing to our compliance and quality. The orthodox prices will be better than the previous year. The biggest challenge will be to protect the crop and rein in the escalating costs particularly wages and fuel.
The total Operational revenue for the financial year 2023-2024 stands at 216.88 Crores, an increase of around 16.32% over the previous fiscal year 2022-2023. The Division added confirmed orders worth 638.00 Crores and confirmed strategic agreements worth around ` 2,800 Crores
The Operating Profit before depreciation and interest (EBITDA) of the Rossell Tea Division for the year was 1,198.59 lakhs as against 3,007.59 lakhs in the previous year. At the same time the Operating Profit before depreciation and interest (EBITDA) of the Rossell Techsys Division for the year was 3,553.36 lakhs as against 3,127.04 lakhs in the previous year. With the strong financial fundamentals over the year, the financial base of your Company remains strong, and it shall be further strengthened with better operating and financial performance in the years ahead, subject to the impact of demerger process being in progress at this stage.
Soft copy of the approved order of the scheme of amalgamation has been uploaded on the NCLT website on 02/08/2024.

Rossell Techsys: A Strategic Play in India’s Defence Sector - Future Prospects and Stock Prediction
Rossell Techsys, a key player in the Indian defence and aerospace industry, has been gaining significant attention for its contributions to defense technology and the rapidly growing aerospace sector. As India prioritizes self-reliance in defense manufacturing under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative, Rossell Techsys is uniquely positioned to benefit from this shift. Here’s a detailed outlook on the company’s financial standing and future growth potential.
Company Overview:
Rossell Techsys operates in the defense electronics space, specializing in custom-built systems and equipment for both Indian and global defense contractors. Its collaboration with renowned global defense players like Boeing and Lockheed Martin further strengthens its credibility and prospects in the market.
Financial Performance (Balance Sheet Highlights):
Revenue Growth:Rossell Techsys has experienced a steady rise in revenue over the past few years, thanks to increasing orders from both domestic and international clients. For the last fiscal year, revenue showed a year-on-year (YoY) increase of around 20-25%, a strong indicator of its expanding market presence.
Debt and Liabilities: The company maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio, which is a positive sign for investors. Minimal reliance on external debt means the company can sustain its growth trajectory without the burden of high-interest payments, positioning it well for future expansion.
Cash Flow: The company has been generating consistent positive cash flow from operations. This is essential for future growth investments and sustaining business activities in the competitive defense sector.
Profit Margins: Rossell Techsys operates with healthy profit margins due to the high-value, niche nature of its products. Margins are expected to improve further with operational efficiencies and localization of production, aligning with the government’s push for indigenization.
Future Growth Prospects:
Government Contracts & Defense Budget: India’s growing defense budget offers a promising outlook for Rossell Techsys. The government’s focus on indigenous production and modernization of defense equipment will likely result in more contracts for Rossell Techsys in the coming years.
Global Collaborations: The company’s partnerships with global defense contractors are expected to drive future revenue. These collaborations not only increase the volume of orders but also enhance technological capabilities, positioning Rossell Techsys as a competitive player in global markets.
Emerging Technologies: As defense technologies evolve, the company’s focus on aerospace systems, electronic warfare, and automation will provide opportunities to tap into emerging defense technologies. With increased government spending on R&D, Rossell Techsys can lead in adopting cutting-edge solutions.
Stock Prediction:
Based on its financials and strategic positioning, the future outlook for Rossell Techsys shares appears promising:
With steady government contracts and increased production efficiency, we expect the stock to see moderate growth, potentially increasing by 10-15% from its current levels.
As the company secures more defense orders and continues its global collaborations, the stock could rise by 20-30%, driven by revenue growth and improving profitability.
Over the long term, Rossell Techsys has the potential to double its stock price, backed by increased market penetration, rising defense spending, and its low debt levels. Investors can anticipate a 40-50% increase in stock price, assuming continued positive performance in the defense sector and successful execution of ongoing projects.
Conclusion:
Rossell Techsys presents a compelling investment opportunity for those looking to tap into India’s booming defense and aerospace sector. With a strong balance sheet, consistent revenue growth, and an expanding order book, the stock holds significant potential for growth in the short, mid, and long term.
Strategy: Long-term investors should consider accumulating the stock at current levels for solid growth, while short-term traders can look for opportunities to capitalize on short-term price movements.
