The company's revenue from operations has grown significantly from ₹8,732.02 million in Fiscal 2021 to ₹20,681.68 million in Fiscal 2023, representing a CAGR of 53.86%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the company has already surpassed its full-year revenue for Fiscal 2023.
The company's EBITDA has also grown robust, increasing from ₹1,597.33 million in Fiscal 2021 to ₹2,956.29 million in Fiscal 2023. The EBITDA margin, however, has seen a slight decline from 18.29% in Fiscal 2021 to 14.29% in Fiscal 2023 but has improved to 16.94% for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
Profit after tax has grown from ₹1,125.00 million in Fiscal 2021 to ₹1,672.72 million in Fiscal 2023, with the nine-month figure for FY2024 already surpassing the full-year PAT of FY2023. The PAT margin has decreased from 12.88% in Fiscal 2021 to 8.09% in Fiscal 2023 but has shown improvement in the latest nine-month period at 9.41%.
The company's return on equity (ROE) has been consistently high, though it has decreased from 36.85% in Fiscal 2021 to 28.20% in Fiscal 2023. Similarly, the return on capital employed (RoCE) has decreased from 50.62% in Fiscal 2021 to 28.67% in Fiscal 2023, but both ratios remain healthy.
The total debt-to-equity ratio has increased from 0.10 in fiscal 2021 to 1.18 in fiscal 2023, indicating an increase in leverage, but it has improved to 0.89 for the nine months ending December 31, 2023.
At the upper price band of ₹401 per share, the P/E ratio based on FY2023 earnings stands at approximately 42.5x. While this valuation may seem high, it's important to consider the company's strong growth trajectory and improving profitability metrics. The infrastructure construction sector, particularly in road and highway projects, has seen significant government focus and investment, which bodes well for companies like Ceigall India Limited.
Investors should note that Ceigall India Limited operates in a capital-intensive industry with cyclical demand. The company's future performance will depend on its ability to secure and execute large-scale projects efficiently, manage working capital effectively, and navigate regulatory challenges in the infrastructure sector.
