Sambhv Steel Tubes Ltd

- Sambhv Steel Tubes is executing a capacity expansion project of 1.2 million tons of finished products in three phases. - Phase 1, targeted for completion by FY 2027, includes: - 180,000 tons of pipes and tubes capacity (fully backward and forward integrated). - 180,000 tons of stainless steel production capacity (fully backward and forward integrated). - Total capacity will increase from the current 510,000 tons to 586,000 tons by Q4 FY 2026 with expansion in stainless steel and galvanized coil units. - Capex phasing: Around 30%-40% of total capex to be spent in FY 2026 and 60%-65% in FY 2027. - The company has already made advances for long lead items like turbines and Air Cooled Condensers (ACCs). - No firm total capex amount disclosed yet; details expected in the coming months. - The stainless steel expansion is driven by high demand and government initiatives to reduce imports.

- Sambhv Steel Tubes aims to expand total finished product capacity to 1.2 million tons through a three-phase project, with phase one (commissioning by FY 2027 end) adding 180,000 tons each of ERW pipes/tubes and stainless steel capacity. - Revenue mix is expected to shift to approximately 50% stainless steel and 50% ERW pipes/galvanized products post phase one. - The stainless steel segment is poised for growth due to rising domestic demand and import restrictions benefiting domestic players. - The company targets maintaining EBITDA margins around 12%-13% with EBITDA per ton above INR 8,000 after capacity ramp-up. - Demand outlook remains positive with expected steady sales volumes; Q2 volumes targeted to match Q1 despite monsoon seasonality. - Distribution network expansion and timely delivery capabilities are expected to drive volume growth and market share gains, aiming for 4%-5% market share post phase one and up to 10% in a few years.

- Management aspires to maintain the current Q1 EBITDA margin of around 13% going forward into FY26 and beyond. - Despite capacity expansions and increased capacity utilization, margin expansion is not expected; EBITDA margin is likely to remain steady around 13%. - The EBITDA per ton target post the first phase of capacity expansion (adding 180,000 tons stainless steel and 180,000 tons ERW pipes) is expected to be upward of INR 8,000 at a 12-13% EBITDA margin. - Revenue mix is expected to shift with stainless steel contributing around 50% of revenue post-expansion, up from the current 20%, indicating potential for improved operating earnings through higher value product mix. - Overall, growth in earnings and profits will be driven by higher volumes from capacity additions rather than margin expansion, with stable EBITDA margins maintained.
