Healthcare Global IPO review (Apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 9, 2016

Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd (HCG) is the first main board IPO that is breaking the ice post budget for primary market. HCG is a provider of speciality healthcare in India focused on cancer and fertility. Under the “HCG” brand, the company operates the largest cancer care network in India in terms of the total number of private cancer treatment centres licensed by the AERB as of May 31, 2015. Under the “Milann” brand, it operates fertility centres. As of December 31, 2015, HCG network consisted of 14 comprehensive cancer centres, including its centre of excellence in Bengaluru, three freestanding diagnostic centres and one day care chemotherapy centre across India. Each of HCG’s comprehensive cancer centres offers, at a single location, comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment services (including radiation, medical oncology and surgical treatments). Its freestanding diagnostic centres and day care chemotherapy centre offer diagnosis and medical oncology services, respectively.

HCG’s network operates on a “hub and spoke” model, wherein HCG centre of excellence in Bengaluru serves as a “hub” to its other cancer centres. Its centre of excellence provides other centres access to centralized quality control and assurance services; establishes treatment protocols that are adhered to across HCG network; provides centralized treatment planning and tele-radiology services to help with diagnosis and treatment; conducts weekly central tumour board meetings to review complex cases; and also gives HCG network access to advanced technologies, such as WBRRS and specialized procedures such as liver transplants and stem cell therapies.

According to the company current model of providing speciality healthcare in India can be replicated in other underserved healthcare markets. To support this initiative, it is going ahead to establish a network of speciality cancer centres in Africa, similar to its cancer care network in India. It is expected that its planned network will cater to the increasing unmet demand for cancer care in Africa due to which, a large number of cancer patients travel outside the region to avail quality cancer care, including HCG’s comprehensive cancer centres in India. The company has entered into a definitive agreement with CDC, pursuant to which CDC will invest in its Subsidiary, HCG Africa, which has been formed to establish a network of comprehensive cancer centres in Africa. HCG also provides fertility treatment under Milann brand. HCG acquired 50.10% equity interest in BACC Healthcare in 2013 which operates fertility centres under the Milann brand, through itself and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DKR Healthcare. Pursuant to this acquisition, HCG now operates four Milann fertility centres in Bengaluru.

The company follows a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care across HCG network, wherein specialist physicians from various disciplines collaborate to provide the best course of treatment for each patient. This allows it to share and develop best practices, build clinical expertise and adopt standardized protocols for diagnosis and treatment, thereby improving the quality of its cancer care services.

To part finance its IT software services and hardware, to add medical equipments, repayment of debts (around Rs. 170 crore) and to raise corpus fund, the company is coming out with its maiden IPO of around 298000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building route having a price band of Rs. 205-218.

On performance front, the company’s operations have been growing on top lines, but bottom lines were in negative. Its revenue and losses (on consolidated basis) for last five fiscals were Rs. 216.19 cr. /Rs. 6.30 cr. (FY 11), Rs. 270.22 cr. / (Rs. 3.33 cr.) (FY 12), Rs. 340.68 cr. / (Rs. 10.51 cr.)

In the fiscal FY 15 and FY 16 it has incurred losses of about 9.30 crore on account of closing of unrewarding hospitals.

Based on Rs. 10 paid up value, the company issued shares in the price range of Rs. 11 to Rs. 351 and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 737 for 1000 in October 2005, 2.5 for 1 in April 2007, 1 for 1 in November 2008.
