Shyam Metalics and Energy Financial Performance

Madness, right?

It is strongly recommended that you look at how the business has been performing in the recent few years so that you have a clear cut and an objective idea of the business growth.

Although the sudden increase in profits after taxes in the financial year ended March 31, 2018, of ₹529.55 crores as compared to ₹81.34 crores in the financial year ended March 31, 2017, raises concerns. It is yet to be seen if the company is able to maintain such a high growth rate.

Shyam Metalics IPO Recommendation

Before deciding whether to invest in Shyam Metalics IPO or not let us first discuss some of the competitive strengths and risks related to the business of the company.

One of the biggest strengths of the company is its integrated operations across the entire steel value chain.

Two manufacturing units of the company are backward and forward integrated which ensures greater control over their operating margins.

Also, the manufacturing units are strategically located in terms of proximity to different ores which serve as their raw materials. They achieve greater cost efficiencies through utilisation of waste materials or by-products as raw materials for other processes.

The company has a huge distribution network and shares good relationships with its customers. It offers a diversified mix of products.

From the financial point of view, the company has been showing good performance. The total income increased at a CAGR of 48.14% from ₹1746.49 crores in the financial year ended March 31, 2016, to ₹3832.70 crores in the financial year ended March 31, 2018, and EBITDA increased at a CAGR of 124.47% from ₹141.76 crores to ₹714.26 crores during the same period.

Now, let us discuss some of the risks related to the business of Shyam Metalics and Energy Limited.

Loss of any suppliers of raw materials like different metal ores etc. may hamper the smooth functioning of the company.

Payment of liquidated damages to some suppliers may affect the financial health of the company.

Some of the company’s promoters, Directors, etc. are involved in certain criminal proceedings and any adverse ruling in them may pose a risk to the overall profitability of the company.

Another major risk factor for the company is the volatility in demand and pricing of steel industry mainly due to the cyclical nature of the industry. The business is seasonal in nature because of which the results of any quarter are not comparable with other quarters of the same year.

Also, adverse changes in the pricing of raw materials and energy can affect the overall financial health of the company.

The sudden increase in profit after tax from the financial year ended March 31, 2017, to the financial year ended March 31, 2018, was due to macroeconomic and operation-specific factors and hence cannot be compared for future results.

Some of the premises being used for conducting operations of the company have been taken on lease and any failure in renewing such leases may affect the stability of the operations of the company.

Due to the concentration of manufacturing units and raw materials in North East India, any adverse changes in those regions may adversely affect the profitability of the company.

Any disruption in the distribution network of the company may adversely affect the overall health of the company because of large dependence on it for selling some of the products like TMT bars, pipes, etc. is another risk factor.

The company also faces a risk from global steelmakers as well as new entrants in the market from India and China. Also, if the company is not able to respond to evolving trends and standards in the technology of the industry, the future profitability of the company may be adversely affected.

The company requires a certain environment related approvals, permits, licenses, etc. in order to operate smoothly. Any delay or failure in obtaining them may have a negative impact on the functioning of the company.

They also face the risk of reduction in import duties due to which the competition from international players would be fiercer.

After analysing various aspects of the company, it can be said that short-term investors may not find this IPO that lucrative and investors should remain cautious and choose to subscribe to Shyam Metalics IPO for a long term.
