and increase in cost of production has resulted in EBIT de-growth of 10.5% & 4.3% on Y-o-Y and

39.9% on Q-o-Q, however the same increased by 68.3% on Y-o-Y.
Valuation & Viewpoint
At current market price the stock is trading at 6.65x FY13E and 5.93x FY14E EV/EBIDTA of its
consensus estimates respectively. Given the low per capita consumption of  zinc domestically at
0.41 kg vs the global average of 1.7 kg, along with expansion of its silver capacity coupled with
stabilization of its Lead unit commissioned during Q2FY12 to fuel  growth  in  coming  quarters.  Also
with commodity prices (LME - zinc) showing signs of recovery, we expect HZL to benefit.
