Data Source: Company RHP filed with SEBI (FY refers to Apr-Mar period) 

The company, Excelsoft Technologies Ltd, has been profitable over the last 3 years, despite a small sales base. While the net margins are fairly robust in double digits, the company appears to have a fairly large asset size. This is evident in the low level of ROE, ROA and the low asset turnover ratio. This could have a longer-term impact on the valuations. 

Valuation Metrics

At the IPO price of ₹120, the latest EPS of ₹3.47 shows a P/E discounting of 34.6 times. This is fair valuation for small sized rapidly growing SAAS companies as per the peer group. However, the company does bring some tangible and intangible benefits in the space it operates in.  

It has a strong positioning in the learning systems and platforms and that has helped the company to maintain profitability margins. It has built long-term linkages with global customers, which has resulted in repeat orders. The one area where the company will have to work towards is the ROE and ROA, which is lower than the peer group and could have a bearing on valuations in the long run.
