Precision Camshafts, the first e-IPO of 2016 hit the capital markets on Wednesday to raise about Rs 410 crore through an initial public offering (IPO).
The IPO received bids for 9,08,240 shares against the total issue size of 1,58,67,366 scrips on the Day 1, data available with NSE till 1700 hours on Wednesday showed.
The issue is yet to see participation from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and domestic institutional investors (DIIs).
Price band for the IPO offer, which closes on January 29, has been fixed at Rs 180-186 per share.
The company is raising Rs 240 crore through fresh issue of equity shares. In addition, the issue also consists of offer for sale of 91.5 lakh shares of which 61.5 lakh shares will be offered by the promoter entities and 30 lakh shares by other investors.
The fresh issue will constitute 13.62 per cent of the post issue paid-up equity share capital of company assuming the issue is done at the upper price band.
From six anchor investors, the company has raised Rs 123 crore by selling shares at the upper price band of Rs 186 apiece.
It allotted a total of 66.16 lakh equity shares to anchor investors at a price of Rs 186 each (including a share premium of Rs 176 per share), aggregating to Rs 123 crore.
Proceeds from the fresh issue would be utilised for establishment of a machine shop for ductile iron camshafts at the export oriented unit (EOU) in Solapur, Maharashtra at a cost of Rs 200 crore and for other general corporate purposes.
The company also proposes to up two new machine shops at Solapur, for ductile iron camshafts and assembled camshafts respectively, by fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018.
Broking firm Angel Broking has recommended ''Neutral'' on the issue given the expensive valuations.
"On the price to earnings per share (EPS post-IPO) front, the company is valued at 25.8x 1HFY2016 annualized numbers, while a larger and more diversified player in a similiar business, Bharat Forge is trading at a similar multiple of 25.1x FY2016 estimated numbers despite better ROE," said the brokerage in a research note.
Another brokerage Kotak Securities has valued the company at 28x FY15 EPS and 26x FY16E EPS (annualized) post dilution, at the upper level of the band.
Giving its investment rationale, Angel Broking noted that the Solapur-based company has almost doubled its market share over the last five years, and currently
commands about 8-9 per cent of the global passenger vehicle camshaft market.
The company is also a preferred supplier with marquee global automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motors, Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors.
However, the auto ancillary company is exposed to currency risks and client concentration. It derives about 80 per cent of revenues from exports with Euro and GBP constituting major revenue currencies thus exposing it to risk of adverse currency movement. Further, General Motors and Ford form about 35 per cent of the revenues each leading to client concentration.
Precision Camshafts supplies over 150 varieties of camshafts for passenger vehicles, tractors, light commercial vehicles and locomotive engine applications.
SBI Capital Markets, HDFC Bank and India Infoline are the book running lead managers to the issue.
