AVSL Industries NSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By on September 13, 2016

AVSL Industries Ltd (AVSL) is a Delhi based manufacturing and trading organization having its manufacturing plant of producing raw material for Power Cable at Narela, Delhi and Halol, Gujarat and also has office at Netaji Subhash Place, Delhi for trading. AVSL commenced its operations of manufacturing of PVC products in the year 2009 from its Narela, Delhi plant. In both plants it is manufacturing PVC Compound, HDPE/LDPE Compound, PVC Filler, and HDPE/LDPE Tape etc. These products are raw material for HT/ LT Power Cables, Telecom Cables and PVC Pipes and Fittings. Apart from this, it has also started Export and Import of Agro based commodities such as Rice, Wheat Flour, Pulses, Spices, Food Grains and Dry Fruits in the year 2015.

To part finance its working capital requirements and general corpus fund needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1440000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 36 per share to mobilize Rs.5.18 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 15.09.16 and will close on 28.09.16. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSESME Emerge platform. After incorporation equity at par, it issued further equity at a price ranging from Rs. 36 per share to Rs. 1500 per share during 2005 to 2016. It has also issued bonus n the ratio of 9 equity shares against 1 equity share held. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.89 crore will stand enhanced to Rs.5.33 crore.

On performance front, it has posted an average EPS of Rs. 0.35 for last three fiscals. Its turnover/net profits were Rs. 18.99 cr./ Rs. 0.06 cr. (FY13), Rs.13.43 cr. / Rs. 0.07 cr. (FY14) and Rs. 14.22 cr / Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY15). For FY 16 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.20 crore on a turnover of Rs. 68.60 crore and this sudden jump is really surprising. If we attribute the latest earnings on fully diluted equity post IPO then asking price is at a P/E of 94 plus and at a P/BV of 2.29 making it a pricy bet.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 21st IPO from its stable and earlier mandates have shown mixed trends post listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Considering exorbitant pricing, one may give it a miss.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
