Greenpanel Industries Ltd - Q1 FY22 Result Update - YES Securities

Rating: BUY, TP: Rs330, Upside: 34%)

- Greenpanel Industries Ltd (GIL)'s Q1FY22 performance was impacted due to 2nd wave of COVID-19 in domestic markets. Plywood volumes witnessed sharp decline of 42.6% q/q in volume terms & 45.3% q/q in value terms. MDF segment witnessed 19% q/q degrowth in volume terms & 15.8% in value terms in Q1FY22. We believe with re-opening of economy in domestic markets, retail demand (68% of domestic volumes) should bounce back.

- We continue to remain bullish on the company on account of (i) rapid displacement of mid-lowend plywood segment by MDFs, (ii) growing trend of online furniture in India and (iii) replacement of imports by domestic players (imports ~18-20% of total demand). Moreover, to cater the increase in demand company is enhancing their capacity by 20% to ~660,000cmb/annum. Hence, we expect MDF volumes to grow by 18% over FY21-FY23E.

- Going ahead we factor in Revenue/EBITDA/PAT CAGR of 18.5%/29.2%/77.3% over FY21-23E respectively. Moreover, with company's aim to strengthen its balance sheet, we expect net debt/EBITDA to decline from 1.8x in FY21 to 0.1x in FY23E.

- AT CMP, GIL is trading at 14.2x on FY23E EPS of Rs17.6. We continue to value the company at 18.5x on FY23E EPS arriving at a target price of Rs330. Hence, we maintain our BUY rating on the stock".
