ISSUE DETAILS:
To part finance its need for repayment/prepayment of certain borrowings (Rs. 285.80 cr.), and general corporate purposes (Rs. 10.00 cr.), HAPL is coming out with a rights issue (RI) of 7185444 equity shares of Re. 1 each at a fixed price of Rs. 419 per share to mobilize Rs. 301.07 cr. The company is offering the right shares in the ratio of 1 share for every 30 shares held by eligible stakeholders as of the record date of December 08, 2022. The issue opens for subscription on December 19, 2022, and will close on January 09, 203. The full amount is to be paid as application money while applying. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. HAPL is spending Rs. 5.27 cr. for this RI process.
The issue is solely lead managed by Axis Capital Ltd. while Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue.
Post RI, HAPL's current paid-up equity share capital of Rs. 21.56 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 22.27 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 9333.17 cr. The paid-up equity capital is shown on a net basis after considering the forfeited shares.
HAPL has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 2 (2012), 2 for 5 (2016), and 1 for 3 (2020). Thus it considers bonus issues at an interval of every 4 years. (inadvertently a Leap Year).
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, HAPL has posted a turnover/net profit of Rs. 5557.02 cr. / Rs. 273.58 cr. (FY21) and Rs. 6380.18 cr. / Rs. 248.25 cr. (FY22).
As per the unaudited results submitted to the exchanges, HAPL has earned a net profit of Rs. 94.43 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 3770.81 cr. for H1 of FY23 for the period ended on September 30, 2022. Thus despite growth in the top line, it has posted declining trends in the bottom line for the last 18 months working. This erosion is attributed to higher provisioning of depreciation, interest outgo, and employees cost and an increase in input costs which could not be passed on to customers in full.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
HAPL is a dividend-paying company. It has paid a dividend of 600% for FY21 and FY22. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post-listing of RI based on its financial performance and future prospects.
SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 531531 (FV Re. 1).
The scrip last closed at Rs. 968.70 on December 06, 2022, as cum-right and opened at Rs. 954.55 as ex-right on December 07, 2022. Since then it has marked a high/low of Rs. 954.55 / Rs. 886.60 till now. It last closed at Rs. 900.00 as of December 16, 2022, and has marked the last 52 weeks' high/low of Rs. 1297.96 / Rs. 791.59. Considering RI at an attractive discount of around 53% on its last trading price, it is worth considering. The promoter's holding declined from 74.26% as of June 30, 2022 quarter to 73.00% as of September 30, 2022 quarter.
NOTE: As my family has a small long-term holding, we will participate in this RI for an eligible offer.
