Strong execution with stellar margins
Our view
J. Kumar Infraprojects Ltd (JKIL) 1QFY24 results were in line with estimates with revenue growth of 13.8% YoY to Rs11.3bn and EBITDAM at 14.3%. The company bagged orders worth Rs36bn in YTDFY24 and has been L1 for projects worth Rs40bn. Order book stands robust at Rs143.5bn (3.3x its trailing revenues) providing strong visibility of next 2?3 years. Given the robust ordering pipeline management expects order inflows of Rs80bn+ in FY24E. For the newly awarded Chennai metro projects, majority of the capex will be done in the next 2 years. For FY24E, management has retained its revenue guidance of 15% growth with EBITDAM of 14?15% range and for FY25E has given revenue guidance of 18?20% growth.
A strong track record of executing roads, bridges, structural buildings, urban infrastructure such as metro, railways, subways and skywalks, JKIL stands strong led by a) healthy order book with increasing ticket size, b) strong execution capabilities, c) controlled debt levels and d) robust EBITDA margins. With substantial order inflow and robust bid pipeline we raise FY24E/ 25E revenue estimates by 4%/11% largely to factor in uptick in execution on account of strong order book. We expect JKIL to post a revenue/PAT CAGR of 16%/19% over FY23?25E. However due to the recent run? up in the stock price we have revised our rating to ‘ADD’ with revised TP of Rs475 valuing the company at 9x its FY25E.
