Vera Synthetics NSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 21, 2018

Vera Synthetics Ltd. (VSL) is engaged in manufacturing of Fishing Nets, PP Yarns, PP/HDPE Ropes, PP Twines and Niwar. Company manufactures and market its products under our flagship brand “Sujlon” and are primarily used in fishing sector and other allied use thereon.Its manufacturing facility is divided into two units namely Division I and Division II (both situated in the same premises at Mamsa, Gujarat).

At present VSL caters majorly to domestic markets with its dealers, traders and distributors spread across different regions of the Country thus giving the advantage of widespread geographical presence. Currently it sells products either directly to traders/fishermen or through distribution network in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Rajasthan, etc. It has recently ventured into export markets.

To part finance its working capital and general corpus fund needs, VSL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1335000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each with a fixed price of Rs. 40 per share to mobilize Rs. 5.34 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 28.03.18 and will close on 04.04.18. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. Issue is solely lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Issue constitutes 27.05% of the post issue paid up capital of the company. It has issued entire equity at par and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 1 in October 2017. Average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 0.44 and Rs. 2.19 per share. Post issue, its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 3.60 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 4.94 cr.

On performance front, VSL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 19.76 cr. / Rs. 0.33 cr. (FY14), Rs. 24.49 cr. / Rs. 0.05 cr. (FY15), Rs. 21.95 cr. / Rs. 0.27 cr. (FY16) and Rs.18.44 cr. / Rs.0.34 cr. (FY17). For first half of the current fiscal, it has incurred loss of Rs.-(1.03) cr. on a turnover of Rs. 9.72 cr. Thus while it has inconsistency in performance with declining trends in top line, it has posted huge loss for first half of the current fiscal, which might wipe out last five years earnings.   For last three fiscals, it has posted an average EPS of Rs.0.75 and an average RoNW of 5.81%. For first half, it has posted a negative EPS of Rs.-(2.86) and negative RoNW – (27.25%). Issue is priced at a P/BV of 3.81 on the basis of NAV of Rs.10.51 as on 30.09.17 and at a P/BV of 2.16 on the basis of its post issue NAV of Rs. 18.49. Due to negative earnings, P/E will be negative. It has shown Garware Wall as its listed peer that is trading at a P/E of around 21 (on BSE as on 21.03.18 closing).

On merchant banker’s front, this is 66th mandate from its stable in last three fiscals. Out of last 10 listings, 1 opened at discount to offer price, 1 just Rs. 0.05 paise up on offer price, 7 with a premium ranging from 4% to 20% and 1 (main board issue) with a premium of 130% on the offer price on the day of listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Company has inconsistent performance and has made loss for first half of current fiscal. Issue pricing is exorbitant. There is no harm in giving this issue a miss.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
