| Dec 31 2020 | FY 20 | FY 19 | FY 18 | |
| Total revenue | 1029.91 | 1501.06 | 1831.64 | 1522.86 |
| PAT | 50.66 | 41.07 | 97.37 | 31.53 |

[/su_table]
Total revenue from operations for six months ended 31st Dec 2020 was Rs 1029.91 crore against PAT of Rs 50.66 crore. Revenues for FY20 decreased by 18% to Rs 1501.06 crore from Rs 1831.64 crore (FY19) mainly because of the decreased sales in both domestic as well as export segment. This decrease was mainly due to slowdown in the automotive industry. Hence, PAT also reduced to Rs 41.07 crore for FY20 from Rs 97.37 crore in FY19. EBITDA Margins have been strong throughout the last three fiscals being above 20%. Net margins have been fluctuating over the last three fiscals.
Valuation and peer comparison
At annualised EPS of Rs 33.57 (Dec 31, 2020) per share, P/E is 44.38x at upper price band of Rs 1490 per share. Average sectoral P/E as per the RHP is 73x. The Issuer had P/E of 73x as at FY20 which is at par with sector P/E. However, the valuations seem to be stretched at a higher side considering the fluctuating financial performance of the company. P/BV is 4.19x at NAV of Rs 355.93 per share as on 31st Dec 2020.
Future Outlook and Conclusion
The macro-economic factors and conditions in the automotive industry, particularly changes in consumer confidence, employment levels, fuel prices, consumer spending on two-wheeler, four-wheeler and commercial vehicles, urbanisation, government policies and interest rates continue to be the most important factor affecting the revenues of automotive sector.
Craftsman automation has leveraged their long term presence in developing aluminium products for precision components to establish and grow the Automotive – Aluminium Products segment. Also the issuer has grown globally through strategic alliances like joint ventures. Looking at the high valuations and volatility in its financials, investors might consider to buy from the secondary market.
