Financial Review of MTAR
MTAR posted PAT of Rs 28.07 crore against revenue of Rs 178 crore for nine months ended 31st Dec 2020. The total revenue for the FY20 has increased by 17.34 % to Rs 218.14 crore as against Rs 185.91 crore in FY19. The Company’s PAT reduced by 20% to Rs 31.32 crore in FY20 because of increase in deferred tax due to utilization of MAT credit in Fiscal 2020. PAT increased significantly to Rs 39.19 crore in FY19 from Rs 5.42 crore in FY18. Operating and the net margins have been strong in the last three fiscals. The trend in the margins can be seen from the chart below.
Cost of materials consumed constitutes a significant portion of expenses. It accounted for 46.01%, 44.99%, 50.55% and 54.05% of the total expenses for Fiscal 2018, 2019, 2020 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 respectively.
Debt to equity is low at 0.13 for FY20. Return on net worth is reasonable being 16.68% and 13.92% for FY20 and FY19 respectively.
Peer Comparison and Valuation
MTAR has no listed peers as per the RHP. However the competitors in nuclear sector are Larsen & Toubro Heavy Engineering, Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, and Walchandnagar Industries. Though the company cannot be compared on an apple to apple basis as the business offerings are different however reference valuations can be derived as these companies operates in similar sector.
At annualised EPS (9 months EPS annualised) of 13.99 per share, P/BV is 6.26 at upper price band of Rs 575 per share. At NAV of Rs 91.79, considering the upper price band P/E is 41.11x. The sector average P/E is 24.86x (an average is taken of the peers). Hence the IPO valuations appear to be stretched at higher side. Key Valuation parameters are provided below:

| 13.99 | 41.11 | 91.79 | 6.26 |

Outlook and Strategy
MTAR features precision engineering expertise with complex product manufacturing capability.
The government targets to reach RS 350 billion in defence exports in the next 5 years. India has been successful in up-scaling the defence exports agenda with major participation of private sector. However, its share of global arms exports is miniscule ~0.2%. Hence, there exists a sizeable opportunity for arms exports from India especially in the low-tech weapons. The target market would be selective and largely comprising of states in Africa and the Middle East.
However it is also worthy to note that the budgeted defence expenditure is expected to witness constraints in FY21 largely due to COVID- 19 pandemic. The government may face financial crunch as majority funds are expected to be diverted towards up-scaling the health infrastructure to fight the pandemic. This is expected to limit the expenditure on various key industries including defence.
MTAR has decent performance with strong margins for the last two fiscals and 9 months ending 31st Dec. 2020. The company however has significant dependence on limit clients (orders from Bloom Energy, NPCIL, ISRO and DRDO). Hence, considering all the above factors, investors may consider it for a long term perspective in the IPO.
