Key clients: Fetso as per credit report. Also some desktop work suggest they do supply to Bosch as a Tier 2.

Key Hypothesis:

  • More than 10 years of experience in castings business
  • 100% EOU
  • Festo the biggest client with 5 years of relationship
  • Good margins > 20% + avg ( covid year 14%… Fy22 peak 27%)
  • INR 23 cr odd GFA reporting 80 cr sales ( 3x + asset turnover)
  • INR 9 cr debt … INR 81 cr Net Worth… Adjusted CFO INR 14 cr… Trading at INR 85 cr Mcap
  • INR 34 cr investments done…
  • 150 days + working capital cycle…

The company has 10 year + dividend paying track record.

Negative:
-The 2 bros have had some feud and court cases in the past.
-The company has been slow to ramp up top line.
-Does small business of silver trading etc less than 3 cr top line… negligible profit…

Growth:
Last year 35% vols growth. Tamboli is also investing in new capex. Need to understand more.
Looks inexpensive.

Dont kow:
Potential in other areas of Defense and management ambition and ability to scale up.

Hi Manan, I was searching about the CEO of the company Mr. Vaibhav Tamboli and I found a really disturbing allegation on him & his father Mr. Bipin Tamboli. A women accused both of them for __ . I don’t have any idea if that’s true or not, but this news was covered by The Times of India as well.

I’m a newbie in investing, do we consider this in bad corporate governance?

A very similar winner of the past 3 years: ( similar not same… castings is one common segment)

PTC Industries on sales of Rs 179 cr PAT of Rs 13 cr M cap Rs 2080 cr. Net Worth 165 cr.

Tamboli sales 80 cr PAT of Rs 13 cr and M cap Rs 100 cr. Net Worth 94 cr.

Few Extracts from Annual Report:

1. Industrywide Break up:

2. Client Location:

3. Outlook:

Currently, production capacity of the Company at its existing facility is almost fully utilized. The Company increases CAPEX every year for debottlenecking, which will continue this year. The process of raising further capacity is also under way for the financial year 2022-23 and 2023-24. This will enable the Company to cater to rising market demands.
Looking forward, the Company anticipates that the rising demand and optimization of internal processes will lead to a increase in business volumes.

  1. Wrk Cap looks improved but there is increase in loans and advances which is for the capex:

P&L Read:

  1. Gross margin down 400 bps qoq 200 yoy
  2. Inventory destock helps qoq but still lower yoy
  3. PBT: 4.53 vs 4.07 (qoq) but down from 5.37 yoy
  4. 6month: 8.6 cr PBT vs 9.27 … so a 7% odd dip

Cash Flow Read:

  • Pre wrk Cap CFO is fine…marginal 3-4% dip

  • Trade recv moves up by 3cr

  • CFO adjusted for Loans & Advances is healthy:
    ||6m2022|6m2021|
