The company has emerged as a specialty chemical player owing to inorganic acquisitions and
expansion of product portfolio to specialty products. Its superior financial performance also
reflects those of specialty chemical players, however, we believe certain existing products of the
company can be considered a part of the commodity gamut. To further strengthen our conviction,
we took the average of FY23 EV/EBIDTA consensus of varied players across verticals in the
chemical space and derived at as Industry average EV/EBITDA multiple of 21.1x.
Considering this, we believe our valuation of VOL at Rs2670 on 24x FY23 EV/EBITDA is reflective of
the financial performance of the company. Currently, the company is valued at a 22.4x FY21
EV/EBIDTA and at current valuation of 15x FY23 EV/EBITDA, we believe the company merits
upside owing to high return ratios of 20s%+, low leverage coupled with strong liquidity position
reflecting company’s judicious financial planning, enhanced utilization of expanded capacity and,
integrated business facilities. Thus, we value the company at 24x FY23 EV/EBIDTA.
This growth in the case of Vinati Organics Limited further builds our conviction of the growth
opportunity/ path that lies ahead for Valiant Organics Limited.
