Agro Phos - NSE SME IPO review (Apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on October 21, 2016

Agro Phos India Ltd (APIL) is engaged in the manufacturing of fertilizers such as Single Super Phosphate (SSP), Nitrogen Phosphate and Potassium (NPK), Zinc Sulphate, Organic Manure and Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum). It also trades in Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP), Urea, Ammonium Sulphate and other fertilizers. APIL also participates in various awareness programs for farmers.

To part finance repayment/prepayment of certain borrowings, working capital requirements and other general corpus fund needs, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 5880000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building route in a price band of Rs. 19-22 to mobilize Rs. 11.17 crore to Rs. 12.94 crore (based on lower and upper price bands). Minimum application is to be made for 6000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Issue opens for subscription on 27.10.16 and will close on 07.11.16. Having issued equity shares at par between 2002-2006 it issued further equity at a price of Rs. 30 to Rs. 100 per share. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 4 for 5 in June 2014 and in the ratio of 4 for 1 in Sept. 2016. Post IPO, its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 14.39 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 20.27 crore. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge platform. The issue is jointly managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Indian Overseas Bank. Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.

On performance front, APIL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 58.59 cr. / Rs. 1.37 cr. (FY13), Rs. 62.29 cr. / Rs. 1.28 cr. (FY14), Rs. 65.80 cr. / Rs. 10.08 cr. (FY15) and Rs. 72.77 cr. / Rs. 3.53 cr. (FY16). For the first month of current fiscal, it has posted turnover of Rs. 3.65 crore with a net profit of Rs. 0.07 crore. One month’s working does not give clear picture for such companies with seasonal business that largely depends on monsoon. Hence if we consider FY 16 earnings, then asking price is at a P/E of 11 to 13 (based on lower and higher price bands). That augurs well compared to industry composite P/E of 30 plus.

On merchant bankers’ front, this is 29th Mandate from Pantomath and 3rd mandate from Indian Overseas Bank. As expressed in the RHP Pantomath’s last 10 listings and Indian Overseas Bank’s 2 listings have given positive rewards on the listing date

Conclusion: This justifiably priced IPO may be considered by cash surplus investors for long term rewards as there is a sudden spurt in paid up equity due to bonus issues and the IPO.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

This justifiably priced IPO may be considered by cash surplus investors for long term rewards as there is a sudden spurt in paid up equity due to bonus issues and the IPO.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
