Patels Airtemp announced its 1QFY16 results. Here is a short summary on the same.

1. Best Ever June Quarter Sales: Although June quarter for the capital goods industry is usually weaker, PAT clocked a healthy sales growth of 65% from Rs. 16 cr in Q1FY15 to Rs. 26.6 cr in Q1FY16. The company started this year with a very healthy order book and we think that the sales should pick up in the coming quarters.



2. Building Long Term Order Pipeline: Patels Airtemp has been focusing on international front and has participated in multiple tenders worldwide. We expect some of these tenders to be converted into orders and will bring long term visibility of sales. Currently, the company has capacity to execute orders worth Rs. 200-250 crores without any major capex.

3. Higher Utilization Should Increase Margins: The company posted EBITDA margins of 11.7% in Q1FY16 as against 14.8% Q1FY15. However, due to the nature of business that leads to customization for each product, margins across quarters are not comparable. Overall, with higher execution in future, margins should see modest increases as operating leverage kicks in. At its peak, Patels Airtemp had EBITDA margins of 20%. Over a longer run, Patels Airtemp has decent scope of improvement in margins.


Valuation: At current market price of Rs. 148-150, PAT is trading at a market cap of Rs. 76 crores. We continue to remain bullish over a long term and would suggest HOLDING the stock.
