Navin Fluorine reported topline growth of 19% YoY to Rs. 309 crore against our estimate of Rs. 305 crore. The growth was largely led by the CRAMS, speciality chemical segments, which were up 51% YoY, 26% YoY to Rs. 71 crore, Rs. 122 crore, respectively. Revenue from inorganic fluoride remained higher by 12% YoY to Rs. 57 crore while the same from refrigerant was down 18% YoY to Rs. 47 crore. Despite the value added segments, revenue remained higher compared to legacy business. Gross margins for the quarter fell 342 bps YoY to 53.9%, leading to lower than expected EBITDA for the quarter.

PAT was up 30% YoY to Rs. 58.9 crore against our estimate of Rs. 66.8 crore.

Valuation & Outlook

We have curtailed our OPM estimates largely on account of lower than anticipated gross margins. We value the company at 37x PER of FY23E (1.3x PEG). We arrive at a target price of Rs. 2820 (vs. Rs. 3040 earlier). We have a HOLD recommendation on the stock.
