Greenpanel Industries Ltd (GREENP), registered a sluggish quarter wherein top?line degrew by 8%QoQ & remained flattish YoY at Rs4.2Bn (Est Rs4.15Bn). MDF biz (86% revenue declined by 8.5% QoQ owing to 6% degrowth in volumes and 2.5% contraction in realization (export prices dropped sharply by 19%QoQ) over similar period. Plywood biz also reported benign numbers wherein volumes stood at 1.98msqm, degrowth of 3%QoQ & 19%YoY & realizations improved 6%YoY but contracted by 3%QoQ, resulting into revenue decline of 14%YoY & 6%QoQ. 

Domestic demand is decent, but company’s volume off?take was impacted owing to rising imports which stood at ~50,000cbm in Q3FY23. Hence, GREENP pivoted to export markets, but company had to take price cuts of ~12% which resulted into low? single digit margin in Q3FY23. Additionally, GREENP incurred forex loss of Rs173Mn which impacted the profitability. Company guided for a 10?15% volume growth in FY24 with EBITDA margins of ~25% in MDF segment.

We believe, MDF industry will continue to grow at CAGR of 15?20% for next?5 years & GREENP will be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the same. Factoring the import threat & rising domestic competition, we have revised our revenue & margins expectations for FY24E. At CMP, we believe the stock is available at lucrative valuations of P/E(x) of 14.5x on FY24E EPS & major headwinds seems to be factored. Hence though we have revised our FY24E earnings downwards by 16%, we retain our BUY rating on the stock.
