EBITDA margins were at 19.6% (down 540 bps QoQ), with subdued performance attributable to increase in all overhead costs as proportion of sales. Consequent consolidated PAT was at Rs. 304 crore, down 44% YoY.

Valuation & Outlook
For EIL, we factor in 3.7%, 1.5% sales, PAT CAGR in FY20P-22E. We like EIL for its dominant market position, robust financials i.e. net cash positive B/S (~Rs. 6,800 crore), double digit return ratios (~20% RoCE). Still, recent stock price run up, limits upside, going ahead. Hence, we downgrade EIL from BUY to HOLD valuing on SOTP basis at Rs. 18,070 (26 P/E to RE; 15 P/E to VECV on FY22E).
