Aurangabad Distillery Ltd (ADL) is one of the leading manufacturers of rectified spirit, denatured spirit and extra neutral alcohol. Molasses from sugar factories is the main raw material for the company which is used to manufacture all its products. The process also generates by-products like carbon dioxide and fuel oil that too are marketed by it. It enjoys advantage of its strategic location for its markets.
To meet repayment/pre-payment of loans and general corpus funds requirement, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2200000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 35 per share to mobilize Rs. 7.70 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 30.09.16 and will close on 06.10.16. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge platform. From incorporation till 2008 it issued all equity at par and then issued bonus shares in the ratio of 2 for 1 in May 2016. Its paid up capital will stand enhanced to Rs. 8.2 crore from the current Rs. 6.00 crore post IPO.
On performance front, for last four fiscals it has posted turnover / net profit of Rs. 28.66 cr. / Rs. 0.83 cr. (FY13), Rs. 33.21 cr. / Rs. 1.60 cr. (FY14), Rs. 36.25 cr. / Rs. (-2.45) cr. (FY15) and Rs. 46.35 cr. / Rs. 5.74 cr. (FY16). It suffered a setback in FY 15 with pressure on margins and deferred tax provisions. However, if we attribute the latest earnings on fully diluted equity post IPO, then asking price is at a P/E of 5 that appears reasonable against peers trading at a P/E of 14 to 32.
On merchant banker’s front, this is 23rd mandate from its stable and past mandates have shown mixed trends.
Conclusion: Investors may consider this IPO for medium to long term investment.
