Financial Metrics and Profitability Trends
Integra Essentia's financial indicators over recent years reveal subdued performance. The company’s operating profits have shown a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of negative 5.76% over the last five years, reflecting a contraction in core earnings. The ability to service debt appears limited, with an average EBIT to interest coverage ratio of 1.86, suggesting constrained earnings relative to interest obligations.
Return on Equity (ROE) averaged 6.18%, indicating modest profitability relative to shareholders’ funds. The return on capital employed (ROCE) for the latest half-year period stood at 3.56%, one of the lowest recorded levels, further underscoring limited efficiency in generating returns from capital invested.
Recent Quarterly Results and Cash Flow
The company has reported negative results for three consecutive quarters, with the latest six-month period showing a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.1.63 crore, which reflects a decline of 40.29% compared to prior periods. Operating cash flow for the year reached a low of Rs.-91.44 crore, indicating cash outflows from core business activities. These figures highlight ongoing pressures on profitability and liquidity.
Valuation and Shareholding Pattern
Despite the challenges, Integra Essentia’s valuation metrics suggest it is trading at a discount relative to its peers. The enterprise value to capital employed ratio stands at 1, which may be considered attractive in comparison to historical averages within the FMCG sector. The return on capital employed for the half-year period is reported at 0.6, reflecting subdued capital efficiency.
The majority of the company’s shares are held by non-institutional investors, which may influence trading dynamics and liquidity in the stock.
