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


    The company has seen steady growth in top line and the net profits have also grown rapidly in the last two years. This is evident from the PAT margins surging from 9.97% to 41.37% in the last 2 years. The company has reported ROE of around 24-70% range in the last 3 years, which is quite erratic, but even at the lower end it is fairly attractive. The only concern is the low asset turnover ratio, but that is more due to the nature of realty business, where costs are upfront and development revenues take time to chip in.


    Valuation Metrics


    If one considers the latest year EPS of ₹5.51 per share, the P/E ratio works out to 27.22X on the IPO price of ₹150 per share. However, real estate is a long gestation business where revenue recognition does take time. Once that balance is achieved, it would make valuations look more palatable. However, Mumbai is a very competitive market with some of the biggest and well-capitalized developers vying for a share of the market.


    Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Ltd also has some intangibles favouring them. The company is gradually shifting into an asset light model, where the burden of a huge asset base will not be felt. That is likely to make asset turnover ratios look more attractive for the company. Western suburbs of Mumbai is one of the fastest growing markets and the company has shown execution abilities. However, IPO investors must keep the competition factor in mind while investing in this IPO. That may pose a risk to margins.
