Astral is the Third largest piping company with a market share of 9.6 percent. In FY23, plumbing, paints, &amp; adhesives contributed 73 percent and 27 percent, respectively, to its revenues. It has over time expanded its plumbing and piping product range into drainage pipes, fire sprinkler pipes, etc. Astral is now well on its way to becoming a building products company with a well-diversified product range.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13923\" src=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Products.png\" alt=\"Astral Products \" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Products.png 1280w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Products-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Products-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Products-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/astral-a-building-materials-behemoth-in-the-making\/#Recovery_in_sales_in_Q4FY23\" title=\"Recovery in sales in Q4FY23\">Recovery in sales in Q4FY23<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/astral-a-building-materials-behemoth-in-the-making\/#Expansion_planned_across_product_lines_and_verticals\" title=\"Expansion planned across product lines and verticals\">Expansion planned across product lines and verticals<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/astral-a-building-materials-behemoth-in-the-making\/#New_business_verticals_are_picking_up_traction\" title=\"New business verticals are picking up traction\">New business verticals are picking up traction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/astral-a-building-materials-behemoth-in-the-making\/#Investment_Rationale\" title=\"Investment Rationale\">Investment Rationale<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recovery_in_sales_in_Q4FY23\"><\/span><b>Recovery in sales in Q4FY23<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Astral reported consolidated net revenues growth of 7.5% year-over-year at Rs. 1,512 crore in Q4FY23.

Last year, the company entered the sanitaryware segment.

The company was also able to double its revenues and profits compared to FY19. This growth is noteworthy as it was achieved despite a period of two years affected by the pandemic. Yet, the company has witnessed consistent growth in annual revenues over the past five years.<\/p>\n<p>The management retained its earlier guidance given in FY2021 of doubling revenues over five years by FY2026. For FY2024, industry growth is estimated at 8-10% YoY, while it is expected to grow its volumes by 15-20% YoY. Over the next five years, it is targeting to grow its topline at a 15% CAGR.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13927\" src=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-EBITDA-1.png\" alt=\"EBITDA \" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-EBITDA-1.png 1280w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-EBITDA-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-EBITDA-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-EBITDA-1-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One concern is that, though revenues have consistently risen over the last four years, the EBITDA margins have been falling. The EBITDA margin fell from 21.6% in FY21 to 17.0% in FY23. This drop was due to the high price of PVC raw material. Although the prices have fallen since then, the inventory of finished goods is still partially made from the higher priced PVC, adversely impacting the profitability of the pipe segment due to inventory losses.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the high increase in raw material prices for adhesives is also impacting the profitability and demand in this segment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13928\" src=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Vertical-revenues.png\" alt=\"Astral Vertical revenues \" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Vertical-revenues.png 1280w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Vertical-revenues-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Vertical-revenues-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Astral-Vertical-revenues-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The revenues from the plumbing segment grew by 4% YoY and 21% QoQ to reach Rs 1123.5 crore in Q4FY23.

In the plumbing vertical, in the past two years, new products included fire sprinkler systems and specialized valves.<\/p>\n<p>According to the management, the fire sprinkler CPVC has picked up in many markets in the last few quarters, while the valves project was a little slow because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the valves project in an analyst conference call, the CEO Sandeep Engineer said, \u201cEspecially if you see why I was passionate is that we are a country where we are net importers of valves for industrial applications, and with the vision which we have &#8216;make in India,&#8217; why can&#8217;t we make it if Europe or America can make it? Today all the industrial valves, if you see in all our industries used, are coming from abroad. So that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m passionate that this thing could still replace a big market of India. The way the industry revolution is coming and the way it is used in especially water systems and products, and all. And if you see our product, especially made with the international standards, we are even above seven for that. So we took a lot of time, and we actually made a point to launch it when we are perfect. We never wanted to launch it half-heartedly. Now if you see, our valves have gone as samples to developed countries and are getting acceptance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two new verticals that the company is focusing on gaining market share are sanitaryware and faucets and paints.<\/p>\n<p>Astral\u2019s rationale to enter sanitaryware and faucets was to make the brand more visible to the customer and addition of products to the distribution channel, which has accepted bathware products. The company has set up a new manufacturing plant in Jamnagar for manufacturing faucets.<\/p>\n<p>Astral clocked in faucets revenue of Rs 22 crore in FY23. It has 383 showrooms\/display centers and plans to add another 177 showrooms\/display in the various states by the end of FY24.<\/p>\n<p>The Paints business (Gem Paints) was acquired last year, and this year Astral will work on rebranding and launching of the same. The management indicated that there is no major capex required for the paints business, and it can scale from Rs 250 crore topline to Rs 700-800 crore topline without any major investment. Astral has appointed a majority of directors on the board of Gem Paints and Esha Paints (a subsidiary of Gem Paints).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Investment_Rationale\"><\/span>Investment Rationale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The management has guided that the new products, such as tank, faucet, sanitaryware, paint, and valve, will together generate revenue of Rs 1,500 crore in the next five years. At the end of FY23, the company has a total cash balance of Rs 682 crore. The company will utilize the cash for future growth opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>With the addition of new verticals and the expected growth rate of existing products at 15%, Astral could see its annual revenues double in the next five years. If this is accompanied by favorable raw material prices, margins are expected to grow at a higher pace than revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Astral\u2019s journey over the past few years has been one that has created tremendous wealth for investors. It is likely to continue this journey further with the addition of newer products and verticals like sanitaryware and paints. The stock has the potential to reach a level of 3600 per share within the next three years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ketan Sonalkar (SEBI Rgn No INA000011255 )<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ketan Sonalkar is a certified SEBI registered investment advisor and head of research at Univest.
