Story:Increased raw material costs and higher expenses led to a fall in the margins despite the rise in topline. Topline on a YoY is up 42% at Rs.462 crore. The graphite and carbon segment revenue rose 45% on a YoY. Its steel division, which commenced production, post the shut down in June 2011, showed a 203% rise in revenue. But ultimately the costs pulled the margins down. OPM was down from 26.36% to 16.62% on a YoY and NPM fell from 15.19% to 9.07%. Net profit on a QoQ was up 13% but YoY declined 14% at Rs.42 crore.Looking ahead, the company has a lot of catching up to do. It had ended FY11 with a net profit of Rs.172 crore but H1FY12 net profit stands at Rs.78.75 crore. For quarters ahead, margins may remain flat. Robust steel demand and higher realisations is probably what the company needs to bank on for the second half. In FY11, capacity utilisation was at about 73% and in current fiscal, it hopes to have a utilization of 85% to 90%. H1FY12 EPS at Rs.4.03 discounts the current price by almost 17 times while annualized at Rs.8 discounts by 8.5 times. This is not a trading stock, more of a sable, slow return investment.
