Competition• High sales in this industry is due to increased demand. Cera, the third largest player
in sanitaryware products is expected to increase its turnover to approx Rs. 500 Cr in this fiscal.
• PAT for Cera is high as compared to Somany with the higher EBIDTA due to significant reduction in costs with the introduction of new sources and import substitution of raw materials, colours etc.
• Cera is a more profitable company as compared to its peers, the average depreciation is about 30-35% both the company and its peers.
• Overall low Debt/Equity ratio indicates a defensive approach by the industry. Out of the three Somany Ceramics has been more aggressive in financing its growth with debt and is a more risky choice.
• With the highest current ratio as compared to its peers, Cera is likely to meet its short-term obligations efficiently.
• The growth in sales has not varied greatly among the three companies. The higher sales growth for Kajaria Ceramics may be attributed to the expenses deployed for selling and distribution.
• Both Cera Sanitaryware and Kajaria Ceramics have reported good growth in net profit. This has led to the confidence of investors being retained.
• Although its peers have shown a decline in assets, Cera Sanitaryware has shown a growth because of their expansion plans. Cera has embarked upon a three-year rolling plan to invest Rs 150 crore to expand its current capacity.
• A high P/E ratio indicates that investors are expecting higher earnings growth from the company in the future. As shown, investors see high growth prospects in Kajaria, followed by Cera and Somany.
• A high P/B ratio indicates that investors have overvalued the stock; it also goes hand-in-hand with a high ROE which is true in the case of Kajaria Ceramics.
• The ROE for Kajaria is high even though the net profit margin is only about 6% because it has been able to sustain a 37% growth in sales even with a 9% decline in assets. This indicates high operational efficiency.
