Ganga Pharmaceuticals BSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on January 19, 2016

Ganga Pharmaceuticals Ltd (GPL) is a producer of quality bulk ayurvedic medicines in Mumbai. Apart from manufacturing, the company is also into marketing, distribution of Bulk Ayurvedic Medicines. Its product includes Ampachan Vati; Khadira Vati; Nirmalaya churna etc.  Its products are available in liquid dosage form and solid dosage forms.

To part finance its production expansion, marketing and brand building and general corpus funds needs, GPL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1024000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 15 per share to mobilize Rs.1.54 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 29.01.16 and will close on 09.02.16. Minimum application is to be made for 8000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue is lead managed by First Overseas Capital Ltd and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Since inception till 2013 it issued all equity at par and then issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 share for every 10 shares held in April 2015 and then issued 480000 equity shares at a price of Rs. 12 per share in May 2015. Its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.04 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 4.06 crore post issue. This issue constitutes 25.21% dilution of post issue equity of the company.

On performance front, the company has posted turnover and net profit of Rs. 1.97 cr. /Rs. 0.02 cr. (FY12), Rs. 2.36 cr. /Rs. 0.026 cr. (FY13), Rs. 2.81 cr. /Rs. 0.03 cr. (FY14) and Rs. 2.87 cr./ Rs. 0.034 cr. respectively. For first six months ended 30.09.15 it has reported net profit of Rs. 0.047 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 1.29 cr. If we attribute these earnings on annualized basis on fully expanded equity post IPO then the asking price is at a P/E of 65 plus. Thus issue is aggressively priced.

Merchant banker has poor track record.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Issue is aggressively priced. Only risk savvy investors may consider investment for long term.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
