New plants will be operational from June 2017.
Alloy wheel plant in Gujarat with a capacity of 1.5mn wheels
CV plant in Chennai with a capacity of 1mn wheels
According to the management, the revenue potential for the alloy wheel plant is 400cr and Ebitda margins will be 20% as compared to 13% for the existing operations.
Coming to the investment side, Capex will be 330 crore. Company has a working capital capex of approx 16% of revenue for FY17.
Thus, total capex will be around 330 + 16%*400 = 394 crore
Ebitda = 20%*400 = 80cr
D&A, I have taken as a percentage of sales. So, in 2017, it is approx 3%. Since, it is new plant, we can assume higher D&A, so i have taken it to be 4%
Thus, Ebit = 80-(4%*400) = 64cr
Tax rate for the company in FY17 is 22.6%. taking the same
Nopat will be 50 cr approx
RoCE = 50/394 = 12.6%
Existing RoCE has been 10%
So, even new plants will not bring in much cash flows for company having debt/equity of 1.4 to pay the debt
Thus, I want to ask experienced members of Valuepickr, What should be the valuation or multiple for a company having low RoCE, high debt but high PAT growth expected in future. The problem with sswl is that it is a extremely capex heavy business and they have to do heavy investments to generate revenue.
I am a new investor holding Sswl from 550 levels.
