Q3FY24 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Kaynes Technology India Limited (KTIL) reported a beat across all its key parameters
for the quarter ended Q3FY24. Consolidated Net Revenue increased by 76% to Rs 509
Crores, primarily led by healthy B2B demand, strong order backlog, and strong traction
in the industrials majorly EV. Consolidated EBITDA surged by 70% to Rs 699 Crores,
however, margins were impacted during the quarter due to the execution of initial
orders, resulting in higher initial costs. Consolidated PAT increased by 97% to
Rs 45 Crores led by strong operational performance. Orderbook surged to Rs. 37,89
Crores up from Rs 34,62 Crores in Q2FY24, driven by strong client addition and order
inflows in IT servers, EVs, Medical devices, and Railway verticals. Kaynes continues
to onboard new clients across segments, driving revenue growth. Management expects
EBITDA margin to improve in Q4 led by operating leverage benefit and new orders
from different sectors.
Key Conference Call Takeaways
Kaynes Technology India Limited reported strong numbers for Q3FY24. The company intends to leverage its research and development capabilities to continue to diversify its product portfolio and provide value-added services. With the growing customer demand for its products, Kaynes intends to capitalize on a strong industry tailwind by continuing to grow its customer base. Management is bullish on high-margin segments, such as railways and defence, while it aims to sustain growth in automotive and industrials. KTIL is also expanding its manufacturing capabilities. To improve its operational efficiency, KTIL intends to implement comprehensive backward integration measures by manufacturing in-house components like bare printed circuit boards and get into deep competencies in the design of integrated circuits, chip sets, and system-on chips to leverage complete backward integration for supporting component development.
The company believes these backward integration measures will allow it to reduce its dependence on third-party components, reduce lead time on account of synchronization of actual requirements leading to faster utilization of remaining components, better management of its material inventory, and contribute to higher margins. We believe Kaynes will continue to move up the value chain on the back of its diversified business and customer profile as well as its robust order book.
At a CMP of Rs 2,772 the stock is trading at 66x its FY25E EPS and hence we recommend a HOLD rating on the stock.
