Brand & Product DiversificationLongstanding brand (since 1748) and a diversified product mix across tableware, bathroom solutions and tiles give durable demand channels. Broad B2C and B2B exposure and premium positioning support pricing power, customer loyalty and resilience across cycles.

Stable Gross And EBITDA MarginsA sustained gross margin near 38% and ~9.9% EBITDA margin indicate structural cost control and operational efficiency in manufacturing and distribution. These margins provide a lasting buffer to absorb input cost swings and support reinvestment in products and channels.

Manageable LeverageModerate debt (D/E ~0.71) and a ~20% equity ratio reflect a balanced capital structure that preserves financial flexibility. This leverage profile supports capital expenditure and strategic initiatives while limiting refinancing pressure in stressed scenarios.

Bears Say

Poor Free Cash Flow GenerationSevere decline in free cash flow and very low cash conversion are structural concerns: they constrain ability to fund capex, dividends or reduce debt without external financing. Persistent weak cash conversion requires working-capital and operating improvements to restore liquidity.

Low Net Profit MarginA net margin around 1.1% leaves little buffer against demand or cost shocks and limits retained earnings for strategic reinvestment. Sustained low profitability reduces capacity to scale marketing, innovation or service initiatives that drive long-term growth.

Modest Return On EquityROE of ~4.5% signals limited efficiency in converting equity into profits. Over the medium term this can hamper shareholder value creation unless management improves margins, capital allocation or growth profile to lift returns sustainably.
