•    Company manufactures tyre tubes and markets under 'Dolfin' brand
•    Top line has been growing consistently, but bottom line marked setback for FY16
•    Based on financial parameters, issue appears fully priced.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
To part finance its working capital and general corpus fund needs, DRL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each with a fixed price of Rs. 26 per share. Company mulls mobilizing Rs. 5.20 cr. with this float. Issue opens for subscription on 27.09.18 and will close on 01.10.18. Minimum application is to be made for 4000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue constitutes 26.59% of the post issue paid up capital of the company.

Issue is solely lead managed by Guiness Corporate Advisors Pvt. Ltd. while Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Having issued initial equity at par, it raised further equity at a price of Rs. 20 per share. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 3 for 1 in December 2016. Average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 2.71 and Rs. 2.83 per share. Post issue, DRL’s current paid up equity capital of Rs. 5.52 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 7.52 cr.

On financial performance front, for last four fiscals, DRL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 32.55 cr. / Rs. 0.67 cr. (FY15), Rs. 40.92 cr. / Rs. 0.53 cr. (FY16), Rs. 43.09 cr. / Rs. 0.70 cr.

If we consider FY18 earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 15. Thus issue appears fully priced. Arena of tubeless tyres is rising fast and may pose major concern for this industry.

COMPARE WITH LISTED PEERS:
There are no listed peers as per the data given in offer documents.

MERCHANT BANKER TRACK RECORD:
On merchant banker’s front, this is 28th mandate from its stable in last three fiscals. Out of last 10 listings 1 open at discount and the rest with a premium ranging from 0.14% to 28.72%.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

DRL has shown consistent growth in top line. Growing demand for tubeless tyres causes concern. Considering fully priced issue, investors may consider investment for long term.

Dear sir,
This is Harsimran from Dolfin Rubbers Ltd.
Thanks for reviewing our company. We understand the concern of growing tubeless tyre market. Our tubeless tyre project is under process already. We are expecting production trials by end of first quarter 2019.
About Tubes, we manufacture over 100 sizes and some tyre sizes are still being made only tube types.
And due to condition of our roads tubeless tyre's life can be extended by 30 to 40% by just adding a tube.

Regards,
Harsimran Singh
