Net Income Sinks Despite Revenue Climb

• Trailing twelve-month net income has dropped to ₪1.76 million, a steep fall from the prior year's ₪12.16 million. Profit margins have tightened from 3.1% to 0.5% over this period.
• Investors looking for lasting profitability will notice that, despite last quarter's revenue recovery, multi-year earnings power remains compressed.
  • The recurring drop in net profit, paired with a one-off gain of ₪2.4 million this year, underscores concern that underlying core profits are struggling to bounce back.
  • It is notable that the earnings decline averages 42.1% per year for the last five years, extending well beyond a single soft period and challenging the idea of a quick turnaround.

Share Price Far Above DCF Value

• Klil’s share price stands at ₪187.20, nearly nine times higher than the DCF fair value estimate of ₪21.80. The company’s price-to-sales ratio remains higher than both its direct peers and the building materials industry average.
• Any hope for valuation support is put to the test by these premiums.
  • Consensus narrative notes that trading at a substantial premium with ongoing margin pressure makes it difficult for investors to justify the current price until clear earnings improvement emerges.
  • At this level, most market watchers observe that Klil may be priced as a “quality industrial,” but the numbers indicate challenges with operational performance rather than outperformance.

One-Off Gains Inflated Recent Profits

• This year’s net income includes a non-recurring gain of ₪2.4 million, making it difficult to compare the latest bottom line to past periods or get a clear read on operational progress.
• The prevailing market opinion is that adjustments like these are not unusual for the sector but complicate any bullish thesis built on short-term improvements.
  • Without such one-off gains, already slim margins would have been even tighter. This reinforces the impression that underlying profitability trends remain fragile.
  • Consensus narrative points out that sector peers also deal with episodic items, but sustained profit recovery still needs to come from operational improvements, not accounting artifacts.
