Captain Pipes Ltd IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on November 18, 2014

 

One more SME IPO is opening in the last week of November 2014 for BSE SME listing. Details of the same are as under: 

 

Captain Pipes Ltd. (CPL), manufactures a wide range of high tensile and high impact uPVC threaded Column Pipes, uPVC Plumbing Pipes, uPVC Pressure Pipes, uPVC Casing Pipes, uPVC Plumbing Fittings and uPVC Agri Fittings. CPL is also a supplier of HDPE Pipes (being procured from Captain Polyplast Limited, the Promoter Company which manufactures the same on job work basis) and uPVC Column Pipes Fittings being procured from identified manufacturer as per specifications. It assembles the procured uPVC Column Pipes with accessories and supplies the assembled products to uPVC threaded Column Pipes customers. Companies products are widely used by agriculture and construction sector consumers. Its installed capacity is 17,700MT per annum. 

 

To meet is fund requirement and repayment of loan, the company is issuing 1101000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 40 per share to mobilize Rs. 4.40 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 26.11.14 and will close on 01.12.14. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Issue is lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd. Sharepro Services (India) Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Post allotment shares will be listed on BSE SME. Its current equity of Rs. 3.06 crore post bonus issue in the ratio of 1 for 1 in September 2014 will rise to Rs. 4.16 crore post this IPO. 

 

On performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. (0.79) i.e. it has incurred losses. For the first half of the current fiscal it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.34 crore on a turnover of Rs. 15.37 crore. If we attribute these earnings on fully diluted equity post of Rs. 4.16 crore post IPO, the asking price is at a P/E of 24 plus making it a costly bet. 

 

On merchant banker’s front, this is 12th mandate from it. In earlier 11 mandates, we have witnessed returns on investment for nine mandates. This indicates at better market making by this merchant banker.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

 

Considering the barriers on minimum investment and low preference by major broking community, only risks aver high net-worth individuals may park their surplus funds in this costly bet at their own discretion.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
