Established in 1985, Data Patterns is a defence and aerospace electronics solutions provider specializing in indigenously designed defence equipment. The firm provides equipment for all types of defence and aerospace systems, including space, air, land, and sea.
Electronic hardware design and development, software and firmware design and development, mechanical design and development, product prototype design and development, functional testing and validation, environment testing and verification, and engineering services opportunities are among the company’s core competencies.
⮚ It was one of the fastest-growing firms in terms of revenues among significant Indian defence and aerospace companies between Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2021, according to the Company Commissioned F&S Report, with a revenue increase of 71%.
⮚ The company’s strengths throughout the gamut of defence and aerospace electronics solutions from design to delivery give it a considerable competitive edge in terms of overall development time and cost, as well as competitive pricing when bidding on defence and aerospace contracts.
⮚ The company has design capabilities across the entire spectrum of strategic defence and aerospace electronics solutions including processors, power, radio frequencies (“RF”) and microwave, embedded software and firmware and mechanical engineering.
⮚ The company is upgrading and expanding its facility, with a proposed doubling of available floor area and manufacturing capacity, as well as the addition of large and heavy equipment handling capability, large radar and mobile electronic warfare system integration, and a satellite integration facility. Its testing capabilities are also proposed to be further strengthened.
Outlook & Valuation:
In the last 3 years, the company has shown strong growth in revenue where it grew at a CAGR of 19% from Rs 132.50 cr to Rs 226.55 cr over the period of FY19 to FY21, during the same period profit has grown at a CAGR of 97% from Rs 7.70 cr in FY19 to Rs 54.6 cr in FY21. The margins of the company are also expanding.
As part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, the company will bid on bigger, more challenging contracts. Data Patterns increased its net profitability by approximately 158% between FY20 and FY21.
We believe that the company has enormous potential to grow rapidly thanks to the government’s focus on Defense and Aerospace. The IPO is priced at a 49x PE and 13x P/BV to its FY21 earnings at an upper price band of Rs 585. Attractiveness in the defence sector is likely to boost sentiment for the IPO.
