ICL Multitrading NSE SME IPO review (May apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on November 15, 2018

•    ICLMIL is engaged in third party product trading and marketing.
•    Based on performance parameters, issue is fully priced.
•    Listed peers comparison is misleading.
•    LM has poor track record.

ABOUT COMPANY:
ICL Multitrading India Ltd. (ICLMIL) that was incorporated as ICL Infradevelopers Pvt. Ltd. rechristened as ICL Multitrading India Ltd. and is currently a multi-product branding and distribution Company. The company sells products under the Brand 'ICL'. It focuses on distribution through network of warehouses, super stockiest and distributors with the presence primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand. Major category of products includes consumer products such as spices, tea, suiting-shirting & related accessories, incense sticks (Dhoop), gifting products and other products.

Further, it has also entered into herbal products segment and is procuring herbal wellness and cosmetic products from various manufacturers which are being sold through the online platform www.adiherbal.com. ICLMIL gets its products manufactured from third party manufacturers and are packed directly under its brand name by these manufacturers. However, for Tea, it has established own sorting and packaging facility and sells two varieties of tea ICL Premium and ICL Gold.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
To part finance its working capital, branding and advertising expenses and general corpus fund needs, ICLMIL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2100800 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 85 per share to mobilize Rs. 17.86 cr. Issue opens for subscription on 19.11.18and will close on 22.11.18. Minimum application is to be made for 1600 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. Issue is solely lead managed by Corporate Capitalventures Pvt. Ltd. while Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Issue constitutes 30.16% of post issue paid up capital of the company.  

Having raised initial equity at par, it converted as well as issued right shares too at par. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 44 for 10 (August 2017) and 4 for 10 (March 2018). Average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 0.16, Rs. 1.32, Rs. 6.72 and Rs. 7.14 per share. Post issue its current paid up equity capital of Rs. 4.86 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 6.96 cr.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On financial performance front, for last three fiscals, ICLMIL has on a consolidated basis posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 26.48 cr./ Rs. 0.40 cr. (FY16), Rs. 50.58 cr. / Rs. 1.82 cr. (FY17) and Rs. 57.32 cr. / Rs. 3.20 cr. (FY18). For first two months ended on 31.05.18 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.60 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 9.22 cr.  For last three fiscals on a consolidated basis it has posted an average EPS of Rs. 6.06 and an average RoNW of 51.12%. Issue is priced at a P/BV of 4.96 on the basis of NAV of Rs. 17.14 as on 31.05.18 and at a P/BV of 2.32 on the basis of post issue NAV of Rs. 36.69. If we annualize latest earnings and attribute it on fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of around 16 against industry average of 34.  


COMPARE WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents it has shown Godrej Agrovet, Future Consumer, Hindustan Foods, Jhandewalas Foods, Naturite Agro and Kwality Ltd. as its listed peers that are currently trading at a P/E of 46, 207, 57, 13,NA and 4 (as on 15.11.18 closing). However, all these companies are not strictly comparable with ICLMIL and are misleading.

MERCHANT BANKER’S TRACK RECORD:
On merchant banker’s front, this is the 8th mandate from its stable in last three fiscals. Out of last 7 listings 1 opened at discount and the rest with a premium ranging from 0.07% to 34.61% on the day of listing. Currently five out of them are trading at a discount to offer price.  


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

At a P/E of around 16 the issue appears fully priced. Its listed peers are not strictly comparable. On P/BV aspect, issue appears pricy. Hence cash surplus risk savvy investors may consider investment at their own risk.
