Evans Electric BSE SME IPO review (May apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on April 24, 2019

•    EEL has created a niche place in engineering servicing segment.
•    Last three fiscal's financial data shows inconsistency.
•    Issue priced lucratively, but the issue is too small for migration to the main board in two years.
•    Spending 23% to mobilize such small proceeds.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
To part finance its working capital (Rs.1.11 cr.) and general corporate funds (Rs. 0.37 cr.) requirement, EEL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 372000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 52 per share to mobilize Rs. 1.93 cr.  The issue opens for subscription on 30.04.19 and will close on 03.05.19. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. Issue constitutes 27.11% of the post issue paid up capital of the company. EEL is spending Rs. 0.45 cr. (around 23%) to mobilize Rs. 1.93 cr.

The issue is solely lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd. while Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Hem Securities Ltd. is also acting as a market maker for the issue.

Company has issued all its equity so far at par. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1 for 1 in February 1994, 3 for 2 in November 1996 and 1 for 1 in February 2019. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 4.23 per share. Post issue, EEL's current paid up equity capital of Rs. 1.00 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 1.37 cr.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, EEL has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 5.12 cr. / Rs. 0.41 cr. (FY16), Rs. 10.72 cr. / Rs. 2.37 cr. (FY17) and Rs. 5.87 cr. / Rs. 0.46 cr. (FY18). For the first seven months ended on 31.10.18, it has earned a net profit of Rs. 0.58 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 4.00 cr. Thus it has shown exceptional performance for FY17.

For the last three fiscals, EEL has reported an average EPS of Rs. 10.90 and an average RoNW of 16.66%.

The issue is priced at a P/BV of 0.68 based on its NAV of Rs. 76.53 as on 31.10.18 and at a P/BV of 0.78 on the basis of post issue NAV of Rs. 66.57.

If we annualize latest earnings and attribute it on fully diluted post issue equity, then asking price is at a P/E of around 7.19. The issue appears lucratively priced.

COMPARISION WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents, it has no listed peers to compare with.

MERCHANT BANKER'S PERFORMANCE:
On merchant banker's front, this is the 35th mandate from its stable in last three fiscals. Out of last 10 listings, 2 opened at discount, 1 at par and the balance 7 with premiums ranging from 0.16% to 20%. Thus it has an average track record.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Company's financial performance shows inconsistency. Based on this performance, the issue is priced lucratively. However, considering the issue size and the post-issue equity, it will be a long wait for the migration to the main board. Cash surplus, risk savvy investors may consider investment for long term at their own risk.
