Review By Dilip Davda on December 26, 2022
ABOUT COMPANY:
Sah Polymers Ltd. (SPL) is promoted by SAT Industries Ltd. - a BSE/NSE listed company. SPL is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, primarily engaged in the manufacturing and selling of Polypropylene (PP)/High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) FIBC Bags, Woven Sacks, HDPE/PP woven fabrics, based products of different weights, sizes, and colours as per customers' specifications.
It offers customized bulk packaging solutions to business-to-business ("B2B") manufacturers catering to different industries such as Agro Pesticides Industry, Basic Drug Industry, Cement Industry, Chemical Industry, Fertilizer Industry, Food Products Industry, Textile Industry, Ceramic Industry, and Steel Industries. Besides, the company is a Del Credere Associate cum Consignment Stockist (DCA/ CS) of Indian Oil Corporation Limited and also operates as a Dealer Operated Polymer Warehouse (DOPW) of Indian Oil Corporation Limited for their polymer division. It has entered into arrangements as a third-party manufacturer to manufacture tape and fabric based on customers' requirements. As of October 31, 2022, it has 94 employees on its payroll.
Furthermore, SPL gained a competitive advantage due to its recent acquisition of Fibcorp Polyweave Private Limited on January 5, 2022, which will leverage to generate incremental synergies. The company intends to apply a selective and disciplined acquisition strategy that focuses on enhancing scale, product diversity, and geographic reach while bolstering its financial performance through synergies and additional cash generation.
ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden book-building route IPO of 10200000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each with a price band of Rs. 61 - Rs. 65 per share. SPL mulls mobilizing Rs. Rs. 66.30 cr. at the upper cap. The issue opens for subscription on December 30, 2022, and will close on January 04, 2023. The minimum application is to be made for 230 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. The issue constitutes 39.54% of the post-issue paid-up capital of the company.
From the net proceeds of the fresh issue, SPL will utilize (Rs. 8.17 cr.) for setting up of new FIBC production unit, (Rs. 19.66 cr.) for repayment of certain unsecured borrowings, (Rs. 14.96 cr.) for working capital, and the balance for general corporate purposes.
As SPL has recorded an average operating profit below Rs. 15 cr. during the preceding three fiscals, as per SEBI ICDR Regulations 6 (2), it has allocated 75% for QIBs, 15% for HNIs, and 10% for Retail investors.
The sole Book Running Lead Manager (BRLM) for this issue is Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd., and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue.
Having issued initial equity shares at par, the company raised further equity shares at Rs. 30 per share in March 2018. It also did a gimmick of split and consolidation of shares between October 2009 and October 2011. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 1 in March 2013. The average cost of the acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 12.96 per share.
Post-IPO, SPL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 15.60 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 25.80 cr. Based on the upper cap of the IPO price, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 167.67 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, SPL has (on a standalone basis) posted a turnover/net profit of Rs. 49.91 cr. / Rs. 0.30 cr. (FY20), Rs. 55.34 cr. / Rs. 1.27 cr. (FY21), and (on a consolidated basis) Rs. 81.23 cr. / Rs. 4.38 cr. (FY22). For Q1 of FY23, it (on a consolidated basis) earned a net profit of Rs. 1.25 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 27.59 cr. Thus sudden boost in bottom lines post-consolidation raises eyebrows.
For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 1.71 and an average RoNW of 10.58%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of Rs. 3.65 based on its NAV of Rs. 17.79 as of June 30, 2022, and at a P/BV of 1.78 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 36.46 per share (at the upper cap).
If we annualize FY23 earnings and attribute it to fully diluted post-IPO paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of around 33.51. Thus the issue appears highly-priced discounting all near-term positives.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not paid any dividends in the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post-listing, based on its financial performance and future prospects.
COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, SPL has shown Rishi Tech, Jumbo Bag, SMVD Poly, Emmbi Ind., and Commercial Syn Bag as their listed peers. They are currently trading at a P/E of 14.90, 6.11, 14.82, 10.13, and 8.13 (as of December 26, 2022). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis.
MAJOR POINTS OF CONCERN:
The points of major concern are, a group company Aeroflex Industries Ltd. is appearing in the willful defaulter's list of RBI, higher debt, likely clash of interest with one of the group companies and also one of the subsidiaries due to their carrying similar business, the sustainability of super profits going forward, and its operation in a highly competitive segment.
As clarified by the management, the Aeroflex matter is given in DRHP on the basis of pre-takeover by the group, but as per the current status, it is revived after clearing all claims and is put back on track.
MERCHANT BANKERS TRACK RECORDS:
The BRLM associated with the offer has handled 8 public offers in the past three fiscal years (including the ongoing one), out of which 1 offer closed below the offer price on the listing date.
Competition
Our business model is based on our approach of asset light model which help us scale, optimizing shareholders return.
Our group co. (Fibcorp Polyweave), subsidiary of Sah Polymers (51%), would be supplying 'Industrial category bags' and our new unit would be supplying high end usage bag, Hence after acquisitipon of Fibcorp we have better product portfolio in order to serve our existing/perspective customers. Being Subsidiary of Sah, profits derived from Fibcorp will accrure to Sah only.
The split and consolidation of shares between 2009 and 2011 has been done as a part of restructring exercises. It has no impact on the financials/performance of the company. Company's Networth effectively after the above excersie was same.
Please note that group has history of acquisitions and successfully scaling them up, thus generating stakeholders return. Aeroflex was one such acqusition which was made by the group. Aeroflex was a willful defaulter before the acquisition. We not only revived aeroflex but also scaled it up, paid off all the pending dues of aeroflex and made it profitable and dividend paying.
