ICICI Direct Report

Wim Plast Ltd. reported a sluggish Q1 FY21 performance. However, this was perceived to be due to nationwide lockdown.

We believe the company would have lost almost 40 days of sales amid lockdown. As a result, revenue in Q1 FY21 fell 75% YoY to Rs 23 crore.

Plastic segment (approximately 87% of revenue) revenue fell 73% YoY while other segment (includes extrusion sheet, moulds, air cooler) revenue fell 83% YoY.

On the margin front, gross margin declined approximately 600 basis points YoY mainly due to adverse product mix.

However significant saving in other expenditure, employee cost that were down 66%, 46% YoY respectively, helped restrict losses at Ebitda level at Rs 12 lakh only.

Finally, Win Plast reported bottomline loss of Rs 1.5 crore in Q1 FY21.

We believe a sales recovery post ease in lockdown restrictions coupled with market share gains from unorganised pie would be key monitorables for the Company, going forward.
