10. So Wait and Watch
If I hold the stock then one may continue holding on to TIMETECHNO
Coverage of TIMETECHNO was initiated after Q1-24 results. The investment thesis has not changed after a strong 9M-24. The only changes are the delivery of a strong Q3-24 and the increased confidence in the management to deliver a stronger FY24
TIMETECHNO is in them middle of a strong run. It has delivered sequential QoQ growth in its top-line and bottom-line in all the three quarters of FY24.
Management is confident of a strong FY24
With the strong growth in sales of value-added products, composite cylinder LPG and CNG along with the stable core industrial packaging business, we are highly optimistic of a strong performance for the full year.
Margin profile of TIMETECHNO expected to improve and drive PAT growth with increasing contribution of value added products
And given our value-added product has much higher margins as compared to your established product, so it’s share which is currently at 27%, so ideally it per year based on what you are saying per year it should increase by 3%-4% per year for next 2-3 years. Like it can go from 27% right now to 35%-36%.
Substantial EBITDA margin increase which is currently 14% to 16%
The proposed value unlocking will create opportunity in TIMETECHNO. It is expected to be higher than the previously expected value of Rs 800 cr.
We have already closed calendar year '23. We will again talk on the new chapter. Old chapter is closed. We will take the new chapter based on our earning estimation of 2024 because when we are going 10% to 12% and we do not sell for the '21 or '22 EBITDA basis.
11. Or, join the ride
If I am looking to enter TIMETECHNO then
For a PAT growth of 40% and revenue growth of 16% in 9M-24, the PE of 19 looks acceptable.
TIMETECHNO is guiding for 15% revenue growth in FY25 with PAT expected to grow faster than the revenue at a PE of 19 which makes the valuations reasonable.
TIMETECHNO generated Rs 109 cr free cash flow in 9M-24. It is quoting a market cap of Rs 5247 cr. It is available at free cash flow yield of 2% (not annualized) which makes the valuations reasonable.
TIMETECHNO had a net worth of Rs 2,366 cr as of H1-24 against a market cap Rs 5247 cr. It is quoting a price to H1-24 book of 2.1 which makes valuations quite reasonable.
Potential of value unlocking of Rs 951 cr or around 18% of market cap of Rs 5247+ cr. Expecting the value unlocking to take place within FY25.
Proceeds from the value unlocking will be used for debt reduction. and will reduce interest cost by Rs 40 crore. Reduction in interest cost will drive 14% (Rs 40 cr ) PAT growth in FY25 coming over the FY24 expected PAT of about Rs 280 cr.
That will give the benefit of the interest cost which is in the range of Rs. 100 crores will go down to around Rs. 50 crores - Rs. 60 crores.
TIMETECHNO is quoting at 1.05 market cap to FY24 sales. TIMETECHNO is at a market cap Rs 5247 cr against the expected FY24 revenue of Rs 5000 cr
