The company has witnessed a steady growth in the past by increasing its geographical footprint by deepening reach selectively in existing regions and expanding to new regions, continuing focus on under penetrated markets, maintaining strong asset quality through continued focus on risk management, accessing low cost and diversified sources of funds, and maintaining low operating costs. To augment the capital base and listing of its share, the company is coming out with a Book Building Process IPO for 15720262 equity share of Rs. 10 each within a price band of Rs. 165-172 and the issue is opening for subscription on 13.303.13 and will close on 15.03.13.

ICRA has assigned 'IPO grade 3' indicating average fundamentals of the company. Through this issue company hopes to raise Rs. 259.38 - 270.39 crore based on lower and higher price band.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

On performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 13.01 for last three fiscals and for first six months ended 30.09.12 Rs. 7.67 (Not annualized). Thus the asking price is at a P/E of 12 plus on the existing equity of Rs. 46.44 crore which will stand enhanced to Rs. 62.16 crore post this issue. Attribution of these earnings on expanded equity translates asking price at around 15.5 P/E. Its NAV as on 30.09.12 is Rs. 72.97, thus offer is at a P/BV of 2.26 and compares well with leading peers like LIC HF, HDFC, Gruh Finance etc.

On BRLM's mandate performance front the data represents the total issues managed / number of issues failed to give listing gain respectively - SBI Cap (20/9), IDFC (11/4) and JM Financial (24/8). However, considering the fancy for housing finance companies, moderate investment is recommended.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
