Financials:

  • Nykaa can sustain a CAGR of ~35% in sales, 50% in EBIDTA over coming few years with double digit margins
  • Although the brokerages expect lower margins in FY22 (lower ad spend in FY21), we expect steady margin expansion led by scale economies as it has already expanded margins from 1.8% to 6.6% over FY19-21 making it one of the few Ecom players to turn profitable
  •  IPO is at 12.6xEV/GMV on FY21 sales and ~4.7xEV/GMV on FY24 sales

Valuation as compared to its peers:  

.The issue is valued at 16.1x FY22 EV/Sales on a post issue and annualized basis, which seems to be similar to other Indian unicorns.
