Bhandari Hosiery Exports Ltd. Logo

•    This is the 2nd RI from the company since October 2023.
•    The last RI was at a price of Rs. 4.50 to mobilize Rs. 7.61 cr. 
•    Based on its financial performance so far, the issue appears fully priced. 
•    Promoters' holding is just around 27.63%.
•    Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds in this "High Risk/Low Return" bet. 

PREFACE:
The company came with its 1st Rights Issue (RI) in October 2023, for 16911111 equity shares of Re. 1 each at a price of Rs. 4.50 to mobilize Rs. 7.61 cr. and now coming for 2nd RI of 76611591 shares at a price of Rs. 6.26 to mobilize Rs. 48.19 cr. Low promoter's holding and almost static top and bottom lines for the reported periods raises concern.

Company has necessary research and quality control facilities. These efforts have resulted into improvement in efficiency and in quality and reduction in cost of production. As of the date of filing this offer document, the company had 385 employees on its payroll. 

ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 76611591 equity shares of Re. 1 each at a fixed price of Rs. 6.26 per share to mobilize Rs. 47.96 cr. The RI opens for subscription on July 08, 2024, and will close on July 22, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 15 for every 32 shares held by its stakeholders as of the record date of June 19, 2024. The full amount is to be paid on application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. The company is spending Rs. 0.80 cr. for this RI process, and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 7.22 cr. for repayment of certain borrowings, Rs. 36.00 cr. for working capital, Rs. 3.94 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

The RI is self-managed by the company itself, and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. 

Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 16.34 will stand enhanced to Rs. 24.01 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 150.27 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs.226.07 cr. / Rs. 1.67 cr. (FY21), Rs. 283.44 cr. / Rs. 6.27 cr. (FY22), Rs. 283.31 cr. / Rs. 6.51 cr. (FY23). For 3Qs of FY24 ended on December 31, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 4.90 cr. on a total revenue of Rs. 177.94 cr. Its top and bottom line remained almost static for FY22 and FY23. 

While for FY24, it earned a net profit of Rs. 6.53 cr. on a total revenue of Rs. 267.06 cr. Thus while its top line posted decline, it marked improvement in its bottom line for the concluded fiscal. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
It paid a dividend of 1% for FY20, FY21 and FY22. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listings of RI shares based on its financial performance and future prospects. However, the offer document is silent on its dividend policy. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 512608 (FV Re. 1).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 8.74 on June 18, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 7.95 on June 19, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 8.30 / Rs. 7.65. The scrip last closed at Rs. 7.81 as of July 04, 2024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 11.35 / Rs. 3.86. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 27.63% for the last three quarters ended with March 31, 2024. The counter is well managed above the RI price to tempt investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is coming out with its 2nd Rights Issue since October 2023. It posted almost static performance for the reported periods. Based on its current financial standing, the RI is fully priced discounting all near term positives. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. Lower Promoter’s holding raises concern. Off-late we are witnessing fancy for textile segment counters. Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds in this “High Risk/Low Return” bet.
