Strong recovery; Positive outlook
IndiaMART posted a strong operational performance in 2Q, primarily led by
a quicker-than-anticipated rebound in paid suppliers. Collections were up
73% sequentially, reaching 94% of pre-COVID levels.
The company also showed great resilience in margins, curtailing its operating
cost to INR815m, v/s an average quarterly run-rate of ~INR1.2b. This led to
EBIT margins of 47%, v/s 23% in FY20. While we concur that margins are not
sustainable at current levels, overall the company would see benefit from
cost optimization and operating leverage.
Leading indicators such as traffic and business inquiries are up 38% and 56%,
respectively, from pre-COVID levels. This provides confidence on the
company sustaining the current momentum. Management targets adding 5k
paid suppliers every quarter and is confident of breaching FY20 levels by the
end of 4QFY21.
We increase our EPS estimate by 7%/4% for FY21/FY22 as we anticipate
much faster recovery in operations.
We value IndiaMART on a DCF basis at INR5,830 per share (+17% upside), on
an assumption of 11% WACC and 5% terminal growth rate, implying a one-
year forward multiple of 55x.
Reiterate Buy.
2QFY21 revenue stood at INR1.6b (7% beat on our est.; +4.2% YoY and
+6.6% QoQ). Collections increased by 73% QoQ and are now at 94% of pre-
COVID levels.
Revenue was a function of 6% QoQ increase in paid suppliers and 1 QoQ%
rise in realization.
During the quarter, along with a rebound in monthly subscribers, the
company was also able to upsell packages to its suppliers, resulting in an
increase in ARPU levels.
The EBIT margin was the highest ever at 47% (est. 34%; +27pp YoY and
+240bp QoQ). This was led by optimization across cost items. Employee
expenses reduced 29% YoY, and outsourcing sales cost declined 28% YoY.
All traffic on the platform was organic in nature; therefore, the company has
not incurred any advertisement expenses.
PAT was up 686% YoY to INR700m, implying a PAT margin of 43%. Adjusting
for a one-time tax impact in 2QFY20, PAT increased 74% YoY.
Traffic growth stood at 32% YoY, and business inquiries increased 42% YoY.
Total suppliers on the platform stood at 6.2m, an increase of 9% YoY. Total
paid suppliers stood at 141k (est. 139k; +3% YoY and +6% QoQ). ARPU
increased 3% YoY and 1% QoQ to INR45.8k.
During the quarter, total employee count stood at 2,917 (a reduction of
233). This was majorly due to natural attrition, which was not filled up.
Total cash and investments increased 34% YoY to INR10b. CFO stood at
INR780m, an increase of 85% YoY.
