Garv Industries BSE SME IPO review (May apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on April 11, 2018

Garv Industries Ltd. (GIL) is a recently incorporated company that has not completed a full financial year so far. It is a multiproduct trading and distribution company dealing in wide range of aluminium products and textile products.

To part finance its working capital and general corpus fund needs, GIL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 3200000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at par to mobilize Rs. 3.20 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 12.04.18 and will close on 17.04.18. Minimum application is to be made for 10,000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is solely lead managed by Aryaman Financial Services Ltd. and Skyline Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue.  Issue constitutes 31.37% of the post issue paid up capital of the company. Entire current equity of the company is issued at par. Average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 10. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 7.00 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 10.20 crore.

On performance front, for four months working ended on 31.01.18 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.11 crore on a turnover of Rs. 14.59 crore. It has no past track record of financial data. Issue is priced at a P/BV of 1.01 on the basis of its NAV of Rs. 9.91 as on 31.01.18 and at a P/BV of 1.00 on the basis of post issue NAV of Rs. 9.93. If we annualize latest earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 161 against industry average P/E of 64 thus despite at par offer, it’s a costly bet. It has no listed peers to compare with.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the 33rd mandate from its stable in last four fiscals. Out of last 10 listings 4 opened at discount and the rest with a premium ranging from 1% to 2.5% on the day of listing. Thus it has a poor track record.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Although this is an at par offer, only cash surplus risk savvy investors may consider moderate investment for long term at their own risk.
