Omfurn India Ltd. (OIL) is engaged in providing premium quality commercial furniture to its customers. Company produces innovative and operational commercial furniture solutions for all work and commercial environments. It manufactures and supply modular furniture which broadly includes hotel furniture, office furniture, school furniture, wooden shutter doors & door frames in terms of customized, system based or Turnkey projects throughout India. It also supplies tailored outfits as per the choice of customers.
To part finance its expansion project and general corpus fund needs, OIL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1812000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 23 per share to mobilize Rs.4.17 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 29.09.17 and will close on 05.10.17. Minimum application is to be made for 6000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. Issue constitutes 26.60% of post issue paid up equity capital of the company. Issue is solely lead managed by Sarthi Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. From incorporation till July 1998 it raised equity at par and has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 9 for 1 in March 2007 and again 9 for 1 in February 2017. Post issue, its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 5.00 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 6.81 crore. Cost of acquisition of shares by promoters is Rs. –(0.13) per share. (i.e. almost zero cost)
On performance front, OIL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 19.76 cr. / Rs. 0.76 cr. (FY14), Rs. 38.66 cr. / Rs. 1.31 cr. (FY15), Rs.43.88 cr. / Rs. 1.87 cr. (FY16) and Rs. 28.19 cr. / Rs. 1.61 cr. (FY17). It has suffered a setback for FY 17 in top line. OIL has posted an average EPS of Rs. 3.30 and average RoNW of 11.42% for last three fiscals. Issue is priced at a P/BV of 0.74 (i.e. below 1). If we attribute latest earnings on fully diluted post issue equity then asking price is at a P/E of around 9.7. As per prospectus, it has no listed peers to compare with.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 33rd mandate from its stable and out of last 10 listings 2 got listed at discount, 1 at par, and the balance 7 with a premium ranging from 3 to 131 per cent on the day of listing.
Conclusion: Although issue pricing is lucrative, considering decline in top line its immediate future looks gloomy, risk savvy investors may consider investment for long term.
