ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden book building route IPO of 4416000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to mobilize Rs. 70.66 cr. at the upper cap of the price band. It has announced a price band of Rs. 155 - Rs. 160 per share. The issue opens for subscription on September 16, 2024, and will close on September 19, 2024. The minimum application to be made is for 800 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 27.38% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. From the net proceeds of the issue, the company will utilize Rs. 6.00 cr. for repayment/prepayment of certain borrowings, Rs. 44.00 cr. for working capital, and the rest for general corporate purposes. 

The issue is solely lead managed by Horizon Management Pvt. Ltd., and MAS Services Ltd. Is the registrar to the issue. Giriraj Stock Broking Pvt. Ltd. Is the market maker for the company. 

Having issued initial equity shares at par, the company issued further equity shares at a fixed price of Rs. 120 per share in June 2024. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 52 for 10 in February 2024. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 1.61 per share. 

Post-IPO, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 11.71 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 16.13 cr. Based on the upper cap of IPO price band, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 258.07 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs. 65.56 cr. / Rs. 2.12 cr. (FY22), Rs. 81.96 cr. / Rs. 4.66 cr. (FY23), and Rs. 132.69 cr. / Rs. 13.05 cr. (FY24). Sudden boost in bottom line for FAY24 raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability.

For the last three fiscals, it has reported an average EPS of Rs. 7.31 and an average RoNW of 43.03%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 7.29 based on its NAV of Rs. 21.96 as of March 31, 2024, and at a P/BV of 2.69 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 59.52 per share (at the upper cap).

If we attribute FY24 super earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 19.78. Based on FY23 earnings, the P/E stands at 55.36. Thus the issue is relatively fully priced discounting all near term positives.

The company reported PAT margins of 3.25% (FY22), 5.69% (FY23), 9.87% (FY24), and RoCE margins of 25.13%, 26.91%, 43.17% for the referred periods, respectively. Surprisingly, RoCE margins data differs on page 97 and page 126 of the offer document.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy based on financial performance and future prospects.

COMPARISION WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has no listed peers to compare with. 

MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 8th mandate from Horizon Management in the last two fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 7 listings, 2 opened at discount, 1 at par and the rest with premiums ranging from 8.47% to 141.23% on the date of listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment of LED display system and related products. It posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods, however, sudden boost in bottom line for FY24 raises eyebrows and concern over its sustainability. Based on FY24 earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for medium term.
