Earlier, the company primarily depended on the textile space (nearly 71 percent revenue came from textile in FY18 which reduced to 44 percent in FY20), but steadily company has brought down the revenue share and simultaneously the revenue share of Home & Personal care division has increased and currently it accounts nearly 47 percent of FY20 revenue, which is a big positive for Rossari Biotech.
In the past 3 years (FY17-FY20), the company has delivered stupendous growth on revenue, EBITDA and net profit level, which grew at a CAGR of 42 percent, 57 percent and 60 percent respectively. Its robust growth was reflected in its return ratios with RoCE and RoNW of 25 percent and 32 percent in FY20.
"The company is financially sound company with low leverage in the balance sheet. Increase in capacity, robust management and sound corporate governance policy will drive growth going forward. However, the IPO is valued at a slightly higher premium at P/E 33.8x as compared to average industry P/E of 30x. But given its strong business model, healthy balance sheet, consistent growth in topline and bottomline, strong return ratios justify the valuation and we recommend our investors to subscribe the IPO for the listing gain as well as for long-term investment perspective," Ashika Stock Broking said.
