ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with a maiden combo IPO of 5500000 (Rs. 91.30 cr. at the upper cap) fresh equity shares issue and an offer for sale (OFS) of 3720000 shares (Rs. 61.75 cr. at the upper cap), thus an overall size of 9220000 equity shares (Rs. 153.05 cr. at the upper cap). It has announced a price band of Rs. 151 - Rs. 166 per share of Rs. 10 each. The issue opens for subscription on August 18, 2023, and will close on August 22, 2023.  The minimum application is to be made of 90 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. The issue constitutes 25.07% of the post-issue paid-up capital of the company. 

The company has allocated not more than 30% for QIBs, not less than 20% for HNIs and not less than 50% for Retail investors. 

From the net proceeds of the fresh equity issue, the company will utilize Rs. 40.00 cr. for repayment, prepayment of certain outstanding borrowings, Rs. 40.21 cr. for working capital and the rest for general corporate purposes. 

PNB Investment Services Ltd. and First Overseas Capital Ltd. are the joint Book Running Lead Managers (BRLMs) and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. 

Having issued initial equity shares at par, the company issued further equity shares in the price range of Rs. 78.00 - Rs. 400.00 between October 2005 and June 2018. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 10 for 1 in March 2018 and 7 for 1 in May 2022. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters/selling stakeholders is Rs. 0.97, Rs. 1.02, Rs. 1.48, Rs. 2.03, Rs. 3.74, and Rs. 5.27 per share. 

 Post-IPO, PTL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 31.29 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 36.79 cr.  Based on the upper cap of the IPO price band, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 610.63 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, PTL has posted a turnover/net profit of Rs. 316.18 cr. / Rs. 16.99 cr. (FY21), Rs. 402.64 cr. / Rs. 26.15 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 482.03 cr. / Rs. 31.76 cr. (FY23).

For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 8.83 and an average RoNW of 32.19%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 4.84 based on its NAV of Rs. 34.28 as of March 31, 2023, and at a P/BV of 3.08 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 53.98 per share. (at the upper cap).

If we attribute FY23 earnings to the post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital of the company, then the asking price is at a P/E of 19.24. Thus the issue is fully priced based on its FY23 performance.

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared/paid any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per the offer document, the company has shown Time Techno, TPL Plastech, and Mold-Tek Packaging as their listed peers. They are currently trading at a P/E of 27.70, 20.37, and 41.23 (as of August 10, 2023). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis. 

MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
On the merchant banker's performance front, this is the first mandate from PNB Investment Services Ltd. and hence it has no track record, while First Overseas Capital has handled 17 issues in the last three years out of which 11 issues closed below the offer price on the listing dates.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is one of the leading industrial packaging company. It manufactures and markets polymer-based moulded products. For the past three fiscals, it posted growth in its top and bottom lines. The company is setting up a 7th plant to expand its capacities. Based on FY23 performance, the issue appears fully priced. However, well-informed investors may park funds for the medium to long-term rewards.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
