Investment Rationale
• Outpacing industry growth rates with inherent execution capabilities: Epack Prefab has grown its pre-fab business revenues (~80% average share in total revenues over FY23-FY25) at 69% CAGR over FY21-FY25 outpacing industry growth (~18% CAGR), increasing its market share from ~1% to ~5%. The strong outperformance is backed by its market penetration strategies (~73% CAGR in order book over FY22-FY25), strong design & operations team (~110 people) and execution team (~300 people, one of the largest in the industry). Over the medium term, it eyes ~10% market share, which we believe is attainable owing to its aggressive capacity expansion plans.
• PEB/Sandwich panel capacities to increase by 2x/4x to sustain high growth momentum: EPack is rapidly scaling up by doubling its PEB capacity from ~134,000 MT to ~221,000 MT by FY27 through new plants in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, while also quadrupling sandwich panel capacity to 21,10,000 SQM (5,10,000 SQM in FY25) by FY27. These expansions could add ~₹ 1,100 crore in incremental revenue, enabling Epack to reach ~₹ 2,200-2300 crore in revenues by FY28. The company has planned capex of ₹ 280 crore for its upcoming capacities for which it is adequately funded (IPO proceeds of ₹ 300 crore (~70 crore debt repaid) and unutilised private equity funds of ₹ 120 crore from GEF capital partners).
• PEB industry growth tailwinds provide sustainable high growth opportunities: Domestic PEB industry is slated to grow at ~9.5-10.5% CAGR over FY25-FY30E, potentially reaching ~₹ 33000-34500 crore. Overall PEB penetration in construction sector is estimated at ~3% in FY25 and projected to increase to ~5-7% by FY30 aided rising awareness, significantly shorter execution timelines, and flexibility for future expansion or restructuring. Further, organised players which hold 42-47% revenue share as of FY25 (35-40% in FY19) is estimated to rise to 47-52% by FY30 due to their reliable track record, supply chain capabilities, and quality engineering services and products.
