Khemani Distributors BSE SME IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 12, 2016

Khemani Distributors & Marketing Ltd (KDM) is engaged in the business of trading in FMCG products of Hindustan Unilever Limited (“HUL”) as a 'Redistribution Stockist’ in Surat, Gujarat. Its product portfolio includes (a) personal care products; (b) home care products; and (c) food and drinks products. KDM primarily caters to the retailers and wholesalers of Surat wherein it supply the above range of HUL FMCG products. Currently, it is catering to approximately 3,500 retailers and wholesalers located in Surat. KDM also keeps investing and dealing in securities, in such manner, as it deems fit for the attainment of its main objects.

Initially, in the year 2011 the Company was involved in the business of distributorship of mobile handsets with one of the mobile manufacturers for the territories of Surat district, Tapi district, Navsari district, Silvassa, Daman, Umargaon, Pardi, Dharampur and Valsad town. However, it discontinued the said business in the year 2012.

To repay its high cost debt, generate corpus funds and working capital, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1584000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 100 per share to mobilize Rs. 15.84 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 16.03.16 and will close on 18.03.16. Minimum application is to be made for 1200 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME.  Issue is lead managed by Choice Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.

On performance front, for last two fiscals it has posted turnover and net profit of Rs. 51.41 cr. /Rs. 0.12 cr. (FY14) and Rs. 68.82 cr. / Rs.7.34 cr. (FT15). Sudden jump in net profit is due to other income of Rs. 9.30 cr. For eight months ended 30.11.15 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.05 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 47.87 cr. If we annualize and attribute these earnings on fully diluted equity post IPO then asking price is at a P/E of 588 which indicates exorbitant pricing.  After initial equity issue at par, it issued equity shares at a price of Rs. 2010 (on Rs. 10 paid up basis) and also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 14 shares for every 1 share held. Its current paid up equity capital of RS. 4.16 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 5.74 crore post IPO.

On merchant banker’s front, this is the third IPO from its stable and earlier two mandates have failed to bring rewards post listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Performance of the company does not match the asking price. Exorbitant pricing makes this issue a high risk, no reward bet. Investors may give it a miss.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
