Profit After Tax (PAT) has grown at a robust CAGR of 58.00%, rising from ₹13 crore in 2020 to ₹81 crore in 2024. Furthermore, the Earnings Per Share (EPS) has increased at a CAGR of 43.98%, demonstrating the Company’s commitment to delivering substantial value to our shareholders. This five-year trend underscores the Company’s improved operational efficiency and strategic cost management, highlighting its robust bottom-line performance and effective revenue-to-profit conversion.

Zero Debt Company: Shivalik Bimetal Controls Ltd. is proud to maintain a debt-free status as of Q4FY24, both in its operational capacity and on its books, reflecting our strong financial management and strategic planning. This prudent approach to debt ensures we have the financial flexibility to invest in growth opportunities and navigate economic uncertainties effectively. Looking forward, the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on organic and inorganic growth opportunities as it enters the next financial year.

Stable Performance in Europe: Europe has maintained stable performance across both segments. Shunt sales in Q4 FY 23-24 increased by 23.37% compared to last year’s quarter, with an annual growth rate of 4.12%. Additionally, Thermostatic Bimetal/Trimetal sales in Europe grew by 25.79% for FY24, reflecting steady and reliable market presence and performance.

Conversely, the Thermostatic Bimetal/Trimetal segment faced challenges, with Q4 FY 23-24 sales declining to Rs. 2.61 crore from Rs. 11.61 crore in Q4 FY 22-23. This dichotomy highlights strong growth potential in the Shunt market, while the Company is actively addressing the challenges in the Thermostatic Bimetal/Trimetal sector by implementing strategic adjustments to enhance growth across all Asian markets.

Management Commentary:

Sandhu, Chairman, commented, “Over the past five years, we have built a solid foundation for growth and profitability, and I am confident that our strategic initiatives will continue to drive success in the years to come. Our focus on expanding domestic demand, coupled with the pursuit of global partnerships, particularly in the silver contacts segment, positions us favourably for future success. We expect robust growth in the domestic market to continue, and we are prepared to take advantage of the anticipated rebound in the USA. Strategically, we remain focused on expanding our product lines and leveraging our research and development capabilities to drive forward integration. Our financial strength ensures that we remain a debt-free company and are ready for any inorganic expansion should a strong opportunity present itself.”

CFO Mr. Rajeev Ranjan added, “Shivalik is well-positioned for long-term growth, underpinned by strong market tailwinds, a robust balance sheet, and solid financial performance. The Company also benefitted from a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, adding ~₹8 crore in cash and ~₹12 crore as other income for a significantly raised PAT. Our consistent earnings growth, highlighted by the 43.98% CAGR in EPS, demonstrates our commitment to delivering substantial shareholder value. Looking ahead, we anticipate steady growth recovery in the Atlantic region and continued robust demand from Asia. During FY2024, we formalized major contracts, foreshadowing a promising business pipeline. Additionally, the recent addition of a property provides sufficient headroom for our forward integration and expansion of assembly lines.”
