Crown Lifters Ltd. (CLL) is is one of the professional construction equipment hire Company which has been preferred by large (blue chip) companies. Today the Company is established player in construction equipment hire industry/material handling industry. It is prepared and equipped with resources and operational capabilities to serve ever growing needs of the market.
Company currently has a fleet of cranes which includes Crawler cranes with lattice boom, all terrain cranes with telescopic boom, Rough Terrain, etc. each with different working and tonnage capabilities. Crawlers constitute a major portion of the total fleet size owned.
To part finance purchase of Kobelco Hydraulic Crawler Crane and general corpus funds, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 552000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs.121 per share to mobilize Rs. 6.68 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 09.09.16 and will close on 19.09.16. Minimum application is to be made for 1000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely lead managed by Sarthi Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Since inception till Sept 2014 it issued shares at par. Then it issued bonus shares in the ratio of 2 for 1 in June 2016. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 1.53 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 2.08 crore. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE Emerge SME Platform.
On performance front, for last three fiscals, the company has posted turnover / net profit of Rs. 14.40 cr. / (Rs. - 0.11 cr.) (FY14), Rs. 16.15 cr. / Rs. 1.20 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 21.76 cr. / Rs. 2.49 cr. (FY16). Thus if we attribute latest earnings on post issue equity then asking price is at a P/E of 10 plus and at a P/BV of below 1. Thus it looks priced justifiably.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 17th IPO from its stable and earlier mandates have shown mixed trends.
Conclusion: As infra sector is set for mega spending, companies like this will ripe benefits. Investors may invest for medium to long term rewards in this IPO.
