Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

Monetary columns are in B INR, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Profit and cash

Profit is cash-backed
In a typical year of 2022–2026 operating cash flow came to 1.75x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.32x.

accruals, % of assets—-4.2%-3.7%-4.3%-1.8%
net debt / EBITDA 2.0x · capex 1.5x of depreciation
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: +3.1%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30)
= (7 095 − 6 729) × 4.18
1 527
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (897 469 + 60 267) ÷ 29 632
30.0x — capped at 30x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 11) ÷ 2
= (30.0 + 11) ÷ 2
20.5x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -3 327 + 0 + 0 − 0
-3 327
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (1 527 × 20.5 + -3 327) ÷ 897 469
+3.1%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Caveats:

  • FCF (LTM) approximated by latest FY (ended 2026-03-31, before the latest reported period 2026-06-30)
  • dividends/buybacks not in data - balance cash flow uses net-debt change only

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth accelerating ▲
Last-year revenue growth +12% vs -3% the year before — a +15.1 pp move. 3-year CAGR +10%.
revenue growth by year: 2024 +22% · 2025 -3% · 2026 +12%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).

Peer comparison

Group: consumer (India). Every peer trades on the same market, so no adjustment is needed.

This companyIndia9.532.3x

Group median 24.8x; this company 32.3x — a 30% premium.

Group average 27.5x; against the average this company is at a 18% premium.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be -25% versus today.

The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 23.0x, Russia 3.9x, South Africa 5.4x, Kazakhstan 7.7x, India 18.1x, Indonesia 4.2x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-09-15; the company's own is live.
