Manpasand Beverages IPO review (May apply)

Review By Dilip Davda on June 17, 2015

Manpasand Beverages Ltd (MBL) is a fruit drink manufacturing company with a primary focus on mango fruit. Its mango based fruit drink, “Mango Sip”, is a flagship brand, which is strategically focused towards customers primarily based in semi urban and rural markets. With a view to expand MBL’s product portfolio, it has launched two new brands, “Fruits Up” and “Manpasand ORS”. Under the “Fruits Up” brand, it offers fruit drinks and carbonated fruit drinks in different flavors, and under the  “Manpasand ORS” brand, it offers fruit drinks with energy replenishing qualities with a primary focus on North East India. Currently the company offer fruit drinks in mango and other flavors and carbonated fruit drinks, in different packaging types and sizes.

“Mango Sip”, is a mango fruit based drink with approximately 12-14% mango pulp content. Available in tetra pack, PET bottle and tin can in varied sizes at competitive prices across 24 states in India, with an especially strong outreach in the under penetrated semi urban and rural markets. In addition, it also presently offer fruit drinks in apple flavor under the “Sip” brand, as “Apple Sip”. MBL’s “Fruits Up” fruit drink is presently available in mango, apple, guava, litchi, orange and mixed fruit flavors, and “Fruits Up” carbonated fruit drink is presently available in grape, orange and lemon flavors.

Further, with a view to also gain a foothold in the growing bottled water market, the company also commenced marketing in July 2014 the “Pure Sip” brand of bottled water. Processed at a third party facility, it currently selectively distribute free bottles of “Pure Sip‟ along with “Mango Sip‘. In addition to fruit drinks, it has in the past also selectively manufactured and distributed premium fruit juice drink under the “Fons” brand, with a relatively high fruit content in different flavors, as well as carbonated drinks under the “Sip” brand.

MBL currently manufacture its products at facilities located at Vadodara, Gujarat (2 Facilities¡¬) and Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. New second facility located at Vadodara, Gujarat commenced commercial production from April 2015. Further, pursuant to a memorandum of understanding dated June 18, 2014 and a sale deed dated October 30, 2014, both entered into with U.K. Agro, it has acquired the facility at Charba, Vikas Nagar, Dehradun, Uttarakhand (Dehradun Facility¡¬). Currently the company is not carrying out production activities at Dehradun Facility. The combined installed capacity for its manufacturing facilities is 40,000 Tetra Pak Cases per day and 65,000 PET Bottle Cases per day for fruit drinks and 15,000 PET Bottle Cases per day for carbonated fruit drinks.

To part finance its modernization of Vadodara and Varanasi facilities and setting up of new unit at Haryana, setting up of new office at Vadodara and repayment of part debt and general corporate fund needs the company is coming out with a book building process IPO to raise Rs. 400 crore. The company is issuing approx 12500000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each (approx 25% dilution based on upper price band). This book building process IPO has a price band of Rs. 290-320. The issue is opening for subscription on 24.06.15 and will close on 26.06.15. Minimum application is to be made for 45 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post issue shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. Issue is jointly lead managed by Kotak Mahindra Capital Co. Ltd, IIFL Holdings Ltd and ICICI Securities Ltd and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue.

After initial MoA contribution at par, the company issued shares/CCPS at a price of Rs. 500 per share in 2011 and then at a price of Rs. 2058/Rs. 2333.33 in August 2014.  It also issued bonus shares/CCPS in the ratio of 9 for 1 during 2014 that raised its equity capital to Rs. 37.55 crore which will stand at Rs. 50.05 crore post this IPO.

MBL’s turnover/net profits for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 were Rs. 85.73 crore/ Rs. 6.07 crore, Rs. 240.42 crore/22.42 crore and  Rs. 294.31 crore/Rs. 20.43 crore. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2014, its turnover was at Rs. 239.10 crore with a net profit of Rs. 12.68 crore. According to company management, their major business comes in 1st and 4th quarters as they have seasonality business.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

However, if we annualized these earnings and attribute to its post IPO equity then asking price is at a P/E of 85 and is at a P/BV of 6 plus making it aggressively priced offer. Although it has no listed peers and is the first to go for listing with this kind of business module, it might attract fancy, but based on its pricing, it appears to be “High Risk/Low return” bet. Management has claimed that there are very few organized players in this segment that is growing at rate of 20% plus annually and MBL has a minor market share hence it hopes for bright prospects going forward.

This IPO’s BRLMs’ mandates have mixed trends on performance post listing.
