Review By Dilip Davda on June 23, 2023
• PRL is engaged in manufacturing and marketing various types of rubber belts.
• Based on its financial performance so far, the issue appears fully priced.
• It operates in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.
• The small equity base post IPO indicates longer gestation for migration to the mainboard.
• Well-informed/cash surplus/risk seekers may consider investing in this fully priced IPO.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 2310000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building route to mobilize Rs. 16.17 cr. at the upper cap. It has announced a price band of Rs. 65 - Rs. 70 per share. The issue opens for subscription on June 26, 2023, and will close on June 30, 2023. The minimum application to be made is for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 29.96% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. Post reservation of 5.02% for market maker, the company has allocated not more than 50% for QIBs, not less than 15% for NIIs, and not less than 35% for Retail investors.
From the net proceeds of the IPO funds, it will utilize Rs. 12.00 cr. for working capital and the rest for general corporate purposes.
Beeline Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd. is the sole lead manager. Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. Sunflower Broking Pvt. Ltd. is the market maker for the company.
The company has issued its entire equity capital at a par value so far. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 7 for 20 in November 2022. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 1.55, Rs. 1.72, Rs. 2.10, and Rs. 2.46 per share.
Post-IPO, PRL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs.5.40 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 7.71 cr. Based on the upper cap of the IPO price band, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 53.97 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, PRL has posted a turnover/net profit of Rs. 19.39 cr. / Rs. 0.94 cr. (FY20), Rs.23.20 cr. / Rs. 1.10 cr. (FY21), and Rs. 35.12 cr. / Rs. 3.09 cr. (FY22). For 9M of FY23 ended on December 31, 2022, it earned a net profit of Rs. 2.16 cr. on a turnover of Rs.29.98 cr. The sudden jump in its bottom lines from FY22 onward raises eyebrows.
For the last three fiscals, PRL has reported an average EPS of Rs. 3.83 and an average RoNW of 54.34%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 4.91 based on its NAV of Rs. 14.26 as of December 31, 2022, and at a P/BV of 2.26 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 30.96 per share (at the upper cap).
If we annualize FY23 earnings and attribute it to post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of around 18.76. Thus the issue is fully priced discounting all near-term positives.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends in the last five years. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post-listing, based on its financial performance and future prospects.
COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has shown Somi Conveyor, and International Conveyors as their listed peers. They are currently trading at a P/E of 18.68, and 15.39 (as of June 23, 2023). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis.
MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
The merchant banker associated with the issue (Beeline Capital) has handled 13 public issues in the past three years, out of which 2 issues closed below the issue price on the listing date.
