Review By Dilip Davda on May 9, 2024

•    IEL is in the manufacturing and supplying of specialty chemicals like Esters, Amphoterics etc.
•    The company posted growing top and bottom lines for the reported periods. 
•    Based on FY24 annualized super earnings, the issue appears fully priced.
•    Currently, we marked no fancy for the speciality chemical segment. 
•    Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for the long term.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with its maiden book building route IPO of 3211000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to mobilize Rs. 42.39 cr. at the upper cap. It has announced a price band of Rs. 125 - Rs. 132 per share. The issue opens for subscription on May 13, 2024, and will close on May 16, 2024. The minimum application to be made is for 1000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 26.27% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. From the net proceeds of the IPO, it will utilize Rs. 20.92 cr. for capex on purchase of plant and machinery, civil work and installation etc., Rs. 8.50cr. for working capital, and the rest for general corporate purposes. 

The issue is solely lead managed by Ekadrisht Capital Pvt. Ltd., and Maashitla Securities Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. SS Corporate Securities Ltd. is the market maker for the company. 

After issuing initial equity capital at par the company issued further equity shares at a fixed price of Rs. 84 per share in November 2023. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 3.87 per share.   

Post-IPO, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 9.01 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 12.22 cr. Based on the upper IPO price band, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 161.33 cr.  

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted a total income/net profit of Rs. NIL / Rs. - (0.00 4) cr. (FY21), Rs. 17.68 cr. / Rs. 0.04 (FY22), Rs. 41.18 cr. / Rs. 3.89 cr. (FY23). For 9M of FY24 ended on December 31, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 6.75 cr. on a total income of Rs. 48.70 cr.

If we attribute annualized FY24 earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 17.93, and based on FY23 earnings, the P/E stands at 41.38. Thus the issue appears fully priced. Currently, special chemical segment is not fancied by the investors. 

For the reported periods, the company has posted PAT margins of NA% (FY21), 0.24% (FY22), 9.46% (FY23), 13.87% (9M-FY24), and RoCE margins of - (58.65) %, 7.19%, 55.50%, 38.03% respectively for the referred periods.

COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has shown Fine Organic, Fineotex Chemicals as their listed peers. They are trading at a P/E of 28.9 and 33.1 (as of May 09, 2024). However, they are not comparable on an apple-to-apple basis.

MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the first mandate from Ekadrisht Capital in the ongoing fiscal and has no track records so far. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is engaged in the speciality chemical segment which is currently not witnessing any fancy. The company has posted growth in its top and bottom lines for the reported periods. Based on FY24 annualized super earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for the long term.
