To part finance business expansion plans, marketing and sales promotion of brands, strategic investments, general corpus fund needs, SBL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2748000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each with a fixed price of Rs. 69 per share to mobilize Rs. 18.96 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 10.11.17 and will close on 14.11.17. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue constitutes 26.38% of the post issue paid up capital of the company. Average cost of acquisition of shares by promoters is Rs. 0.91 per share. Issue is solely lead managed by Sarthi Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Having issued initial equity at par till March 2013, it raised further equity in a price range of Rs. 461.88 to Rs. 615.02 per share (between February 2014 and July 2016) and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 10 shares for every 1 share held in August 2017. Post issue, its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 7.67 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 10.42 crore.
On performance front, SBL has (on a consolidated basis) posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 5.58 cr. / Rs. – (0.10) cr. (FY14), Rs. 9.96 cr. / Rs. 0.08 cr. (FY15), Rs. 15.06 cr. / Rs. – (0.86) cr. (FY16) and Rs. 26.70 cr. / Rs. 0.12 cr. (FY17). For Q1 of current fiscal, it has posted loss of Rs. - (0.28) crore on a turnover of Rs. 6.70 crore. Thus while top line has shown upward trends, bottom line has marked see-saw mod with profits and losses in alternate year. For last three fiscals, it has shown average EPS of Rs. - (0.31) and average RoNW of – (2.65%) on an equity base of Rs. 0.69 crore. Thus its net worth and earnings are not in line with asking price. If we annualize latest earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity then it translates in to an EPS of Rs. – (1.07). Thus issue is priced exorbitantly.
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 35th mandate (including 1 main board IPO of Salasar) from its stable so far. Out of last 10 listings, 2 IPOs opened at discount, one at par and the balance 7 with a premium ranging from 3% to 131% premium on offer price on the day of listing. 131% rewards were from its main line IPO.
Conclusion: Considering negative returns and inconsistent track record, here is no harm in giving this issue a miss. (Avoid)
