Sakar Healthcare Ltd (SHL) is an Indian pharmaceutical company engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of its pharmaceutical formulations for domestic and international markets. Domestic sale of the company is a deemed exports as third party exports it. The company also undertakes contract manufacturing for Indian and MNC companies in India. SHL’s pharmaceutical formulations relates to analgesics, antielminthics, anti coagulants, anti malarial, anti spasmodic, antianemics, antibiotics, anti-emetics, anti-histamines, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, cough and cold preparations, multi vitamins etc. As of 31.03.16 it had 35 distributors in various markets.

To part finance setting up of new Lyophilization facility to manufacture Lyophilized products, obtaining registration of Europe Union GMP, registering new products, working capital needs and other general corpus funds, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2961000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building route with a price band of Rs. 42-50 to mobilize Rs. 12.44 to 14.81 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 30.09.16 and will close on 05.10.16. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue is solely managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Link Intime India Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge platform. So far entire equity issued at par by the company. Post IPO its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 8 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 10.96 crore.

On performance front, for last four fiscals, the company has reported turnover / net profits of Rs. 21.97 cr. / Rs. 1.45 cr. (FY 13), Rs. 29.71 cr. / Rs. 1.75 cr. (FY 14), Rs. 35.05 cr. / Rs. 1.84 cr. (FY 15) and Rs. 41.43 cr. / Rs. 2.33 cr. (FY16). If we attribute the latest earnings on fully diluted equity post IPO then asking price is at a P/E of 19 to 23 (based on lower and upper price bands) and at a P/BV of 2 plus. Some of its peers are trading at a P/E of 13 to 40. Thus issue appears to have been priced on the higher side.

On merchant banker’s front, this is 27th Mandate from its stable and past mandates have shown mixed trends.

Conclusion: Considering hire pricing, only cash surplus risk savvy investors may consider it for long term, others may ignore.
