IPO Review

In December, CMS Info Systems Limited IPO was listed. Incorporated in 2008, CMS Info Systems Limited is India's largest cash management company in terms of the number of ATM points and retail pick-up points as of March 31, 2021.

The company is engaged in installing, maintaining, and managing assets and technology solutions on an end-to-end outsourced basis for banks, financial institutions, organized retail as well as e-commerce companies in India.

CMS Info Systems Limited Business Operates in 3 Segments:

1. Cash management services.
2. Managed services i.e. banking automation product sales, common control systems, and software solutions, etc.
3. Others i.e. financial cards issuance for banks and card personalization services.

In the first place, CMS integrated business platform is supported by customized technology and process controls.

In addition CMS enables it to offer its customers a wide range of tailored cash management and managed services solution.

The Company caters to a broad set of outsourcing requirements for banks, financial institutions, organized retail as well as e-commerce companies in India.

firstly, the demand for cash and cash related services in India has increased, banks and other participants in India are increasingly outsourcing their ATM operations and management.

Secondly, As of August 31, 2021, it has a network of 3,965 cash vans , 238 branches , offices to cover all of India's states , union territories and covering 97.04% of India’s 742 districts, 14,949, or 77.46%, Indian postal codes.

At last the revenue of the cash management market in India grew from approximately ₹10.0 billion in the Fiscal Year 2010 to approximately ₹27.7 billion in the Fiscal Year 2021, a CAGR of 10.88%

Outlook & Valuation:

Despite consistent growth in revenues, we saw a decline in FY21 which can be attributed to COVID-19. According to the company, the revenue in FY20 was Rs. 1388.29 Crores and fell to Rs 1321.92 crore in FY21.

However, the company has improved its net profit from Rs. 134.7 crore in FY 20 to Rs. 168.52 crore in FY 2021. Also the company has stable financial performance and increasing margins.

In the first place, the risk of market volatility needs to be considered right now on the back of rising cases from the omicron variant.

As the government focuses on digital payments, a further decrease in the use and availability of cash can have an adverse effect on business activities.

The IPO is priced at a PE of 19x to its FY21 EPS of Rs 11.09 and a P/BV of 3.24x on the NAV of Rs 66.52, which is in line with its listed peers. Thus we assign an "Avoid" rating to the IPO.

Established in 1985, Data Patterns is a defence and aerospace electronics solutions provider specializing in indigenously designed defence equipment. The firm provides equipment for all types of defence and aerospace systems, including space, air, land, and sea.

Electronic hardware design and development, software and firmware design and development, mechanical design and development, product prototype design and development, functional testing and validation, environment testing and verification, and engineering services opportunities are among the company's core competencies.

⮚ It was one of the fastest-growing firms in terms of revenues among significant Indian defence and aerospace companies between Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2021, according to the Company Commissioned  F&S Report, with a revenue increase of 71%.

⮚ The company's strengths throughout the gamut of defence and aerospace electronics solutions from design to delivery give it a  considerable competitive edge in terms of overall development time and cost, as well as competitive pricing when bidding on defence and aerospace contracts.

⮚ The company has design capabilities across the entire spectrum of strategic defence and aerospace electronics solutions including processors, power, radio frequencies (“RF”) and microwave,  embedded software and firmware and mechanical engineering.

⮚ The company is upgrading and expanding its facility, with a  proposed doubling of available floor area and manufacturing capacity, as well as the addition of large and heavy equipment handling capability, large radar and mobile electronic warfare system integration, and a satellite integration facility. Its testing capabilities are also proposed to be further strengthened.

Outlook & Valuation:

In the last 3 years, the company has shown strong growth in revenue where it grew at a CAGR of 19% from Rs 132.50 cr to Rs 226.55 cr over the period of FY19 to FY21, during the same period profit has grown at a CAGR of 97% from Rs 7.70 cr in FY19 to  Rs 54.6 cr in FY21. The margins of the company are also expanding.

As part of the 'Make in India' initiative, the company will bid on bigger,  more challenging contracts. Data Patterns increased its net profitability by approximately 158% between FY20 and FY21.

We believe that the company has enormous potential to grow rapidly thanks to the government's focus on Defense and Aerospace. The IPO is priced at a  49x PE and 13x P/BV to its FY21 earnings at an upper price band of Rs  585. Attractiveness in the defence sector is likely to boost sentiment for the IPO.

Incorporated in 2006, Medplus Health Services is India's second-largest pharmacy retailer in terms of the number of stores and revenue.

The company offers pharmaceutical and wellness products i.e. medicines,  vitamins, medical devices, test kits, and fast-moving consumer goods i.e. home and personal care products, baby care products, sanitisers, soaps,  and detergents, etc.

It is also the first pharmacy retailer in India to offer an omnichannel platform wherein customers can purchase products through stores, place orders over the telephone, online orders, and a  Click and Pick facility.

⮚ According to the Technopak Report, it is India's first pharmaceutical retailer to offer an omnichannel platform. This approach aims to broaden and expand the Company's client base while also enhancing  "convenience" as a primary customer value proposition and retaining customers inside its ecosystem.

⮚ As of September 30, 2021, we operated 546 stores in Karnataka,  475 stores in Tamil Nadu, 474 stores in Telangana, 297 stores in  Andhra Pradesh, 224 stores in West Bengal, 221 stores in  Maharashtra and 89 stores in Odisha.

⮚ The company has an established track record of delivering strong financial performance. Between the financial year 2019 and financial year 2021, total revenue from operations grew at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 16.21% from ₹22,727.37 million to  ₹30,692.69 million.

⮚ The company’s business operations across the entire value chain are backward integrated and are wholly managed and operated by itself. The company's operations are supported by its technology-driven supply chain and distribution infrastructure, which is arranged in a hub-and-spoke model and gives it a strong foundation and substantial power to continue to grow.

Outlook & Valuation:

Over the period of FY19 to FY21, company revenue increased from Rs 2,284.94 crore to Rs 3,090.81 crore, while profits grew from Rs 11.92 crore in FY19 to Rs 63.11 crore in FY21 with only a slight dip in FY20.

Margins of the company are increasing slowly.

The company is the second-largest pharmacy retailer in India which offers an omnichannel platform. After a dismal performance for  FY20, the company posted super earnings recently.

The company has low margins, but it is expanding. We believe that there are growth opportunities in the industry and might perform better over the period. There are no listed peers and IPO is arriving at a PE of 71x to its annualized FY22 earnings.

Prima-facie the valuation looks expensive but over the period of time, we believe the company's growth may justify its valuation.

• As of September 30, 2021, it has a total portfolio of 35 projects in  Ongoing Projects, Projects under Development and Forthcoming  Projects aggregating to 46.72 million square feet of estimated  Saleable Area.

Outlook & Company Valuation:

The company's financials have been on a weaker note where revenues of the company are declining while the company turned loss-making since FY20. The company's revenues in FY19 were  Rs. 723 cr, which fell to Rs 501 cr in FY21, while it made a profit of Rs  48 cr in FY19 and a loss of Rs 67 cr in FY21.

Despite strong brand recognition, the company has suffered losses during the COVID, when real estate and housing were booming. Being a loss-making company retail portion is 10%.

The SME IPO is arriving at a P/BV of 2.09x while the industry average is 3.69x which might attract minor listing gain. However, we believe that there are many reputable listed companies such as Sobha, Brigade, Prestige, etc., and only "AGGRESSIVE  INVESTORS" should apply for the IPO.

Outlook &  Company Valuation

The AMC industry has grown tremendously in recent years on the back of strong flows by the individuals as the AMC companies are increasing penetration across geographies. Also, the tech easiness is helping the millennials to get access to AMC easily.

• At the upper price band of Rs 712, the PE works out to be 33x based on annualized FY22 earnings which are slightly lower than peers. So there is room for minor listing gain also the IPO is purely OFS based.
• Thus, we assign a “SUBSCRIBE” rating to the IPO for the long-term investors. We believe that going forward the company will get benefit as the millennials are keen into the stock market and we have seen tremendous account opening which will lead to flow in AMC too.

Outlook :

The Barbeque Nation IPO is coming at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has made many restaurants unviable. Food orders can meaningfully increase and the share of trusted brands is bound to go up vs random mom-pop restaurants that may not be able to assure hygiene.

The restaurant chain has seen compounded annual growth of 14.29%. It has grown from ₹68.60 Crore in FY17 to 89.60 Crore in FY19.

The company is backed by private equity investor CX Partners and ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s investment firm Alchemy Capital. Alchemy Capital bought about a 3.5% stake in Barbeque-Nation Hospitality for ₹90 Crore last year.

It also acquired a 61.35% stake in Red Apple Kitchen, which owns Toscano, a casual dining Italian restaurant chain that has ten outlets operating across Bengaluru and Chennai.

Earlier in December last year, Jubilant Foodworks, which operates fast-food chains Domino's Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts in India, had acquired a 10.76 percent equity stake into Barbeque-Nation Hospitality Ltd (BNHL) Rs 92 crore.

Barbeque Nation also launched UBQ through its existing kitchen infrastructure, in November 2018 to provide a la carte Indian cuisine in the value segment, which is also being availed by delivery across 71 cities in India.

The restaurant & hospitality sector, despite being amongst the worst hit due to COVID 19 has tremendous potential in a growing economy like India.

With the rise of nuclear families, changing habits, and increasing urban population with higher disposable income coupled with strong growth of food-related e-commerce platforms, a strong branded player like Barbeque Nation stands to gain in the future. IPO could attract a lot of interest among both retail & institutional investors leading to a strong listing.

Outlook :

Suryoday SFB is among the leading SFBs in India in terms of net interest margins, return on assets, yields, and deposit growth and had the lowest cost-to-income ratio among SFBs in India in Fiscal 2020. Total assets show consistent growth.

Over the years, it has recorded a CAGR of 47.98%. This can be because of the fact that the gross loan portfolio of Suryoday has shown a CAGR of 46.98% over the past two years, from FY 2018 to FY 2020. The deposits, too, have shown a CAGR of 94.95%. From Rs. 749.52 crores in FY 2018, it has grown to Rs. 2,848.71 crores in FY 2020.

In fact, as of FY 2020, 54.44% of the total deposits came from the retail category. The net profit earned shows an overall increase, but in FY 2017 and FY 2018, the figures show a dip. The CAGR, in this case, is 47.05%. Over the past six years, the company has recorded a positive net cash flow from operating activities in only two years.

The rest of the year is characterized by the increasing negative value of net operating cash flow. This market is dominated by the top three small finance banks – AU, Equitas, and Ujjivan. Together, these three banks accounted for about 63% of the total assets under management in 2020.

Overall, there is significant growth expected in the near future. The deposit base of small finance banks increased by about 48% in FY 2020.

This business has good growth potential amid a strong Indian economic growth outlook but it has its own systematic risks. Though valuation is not very lucrative by looking at strong growth in financials.

• Company depend heavily on channel partners such as third party e-commerce players, distributors and retailers and failure to manage the distribution network efficiently will adversely affect performance.

• The company faced intense competition and may not be able to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in the health product devices industry.

Outlook -

Further, the company also sell its products through the company’s own website drtrust.in. Currently, 95% of revenues for the Company comes through digital channels (e-Commerce).

There are numerous other market players, like Dr. Morepen, Health Sense, Agaro, Lifelong, Omron, Philips, Johnson and Johnson, Roche, Bayer. The company doesn’t have any listed player.

Eyeing the brand recognization and their focus on healthcare products we may see some attraction in the IPO. The innovation of products along with the enhancement of technology would be interesting to see in the near future. One should continuously look at the margins of the company in the next few quarters. Looking at short business history, inconsistent margins, and high debt on books. We assign an "AVOID" rating for the NURECA LIMITED IPO.
