While revenues were flat over the last 1 year, there has been a 14% growth in sales over FY19 profits have grown 74.8% over FY19. Most of the key profitability ratios like EBITDA margins, net margins and ROE have shown substantial improvement in FY21 compared to FY19 due to much better operational cost management.
CMS Info Systems IPO is expected to have a listing market cap of Rs.3,197 crore assigning a P/E ratio of 18.97 times FY21 earnings. That is reasonable valuation for a company that has a stable revenue model, strong entry barriers and over 30% CAGR in profits over the last 2 years; apart from robust margins compared to the peer group.
Investment Perspective for CMS Info Systems Ltd IPO
Here is what investors must consider before investing in the CMS Info Systems Ltd IPO.
a) The company has very strong financials as is evident from the growth in sales, profits and EBITDA profit margins over FY19.
b) The company is not diluting its equity base and Baring Private Equity will continue to hold over 65% in the company even after the OFS.
c) CMS is likely to benefit from its deep linkages built among the banks and financial institutions. Its leadership position helps sustain these relations over the long run.
d) In cash management, CMS competes with SIS, Brinks and Radiant. In ATM managed services it competes with NCR and Hitachi. CMS has leadership in both segments.
e) At a P/E of 18.97X, the ROE of over 17% will be an advantage. However, this is the approximate valuation that other listed peer group companies are commanding.
The company has a good model but comes with distinct risks to its model as banks shift increasingly to digital model to reduce handling cash. That is an important risk factor.
