Shree OSFM NSE SME IPO review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on December 10, 2023

•    SOEL is engaged in providing employees transportation services. 
•    It marked sudden boost in top lines from FY23 onwards.
•    The company posted inconsistency in its bottom lines for the reported periods. 
•    Based on its FY24 earnings, the issue appears greedily priced. 
•    There is no harm in skipping this pricey bet. 

ABOUT COMPANY:
Shree OSFM E-Mobility Ltd. (SOEL) is engaged in providing employee transportation services to large MNCs with a presence across major cities in India. It has over 16+ years of experience in catering to the employee transportation needs of companies in IT/ITES, Aviation and other sectors. The company operates a largely "asset light" engagement model. Typical operating parameters are on monthly lease, per kilometer, per passenger trip and package model.

Presently, it operates with a 1475+ fleet with a variety of vehicles such as Small cars, Sedans, SUVs, Luxury Cars and Buses of which 217 vehicles are owned by it and rest is leased from various vendors.
The Company currently has operations in 42 sites spread across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Kolkata. Its clients include major BPM players such as JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Cape Gemini, Accenture etc.

Though the company offers services like Travel Desk Management, Roster Management Services, Logistics for Corporate Events, and Fleet Management, it chares all such services under Vehicle Hire Charges. As of October 31, 2023, it had 154 employees on its payroll. 

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 3784000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 65 per share to mobilize Rs. 24.60 cr. The issue opens for subscription on December 14, 2023, and will close on December 18, 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 26.49% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. It is spending Rs. 1.60 cr. for this IPO process and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 5.11 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 12.22 cr. for purchase of passenger vehicles, Rs. 5.67 cr. for general corporate purposes.  

The issue is solely lead managed by First Overseas Capital Ltd., and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. BHH Securities Pvt. Ltd.  is the market maker for the company.  The issue is underwritten 15.06% by the Lead Manager and 84.94% by the Market Maker. 

After issuing initial equity shares at par value, the company issued bonus shares in the ratio of 2 for 1 in March 2016, and 6 for 1 in July 2022. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. NIL.  

Post-IPO, its current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 10.50 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 14.28 cr. Based on the IPO pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 92.85 cr. 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs. 29.79 cr. / Rs. 0.74 cr. (FY21), Rs. 30.80 cr. / Rs. 1.63 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 82.61 cr. / Rs. 3.09 cr. (FY23). For H1 of FY24 ended on September 30, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 2.23 cr. on a total revenue of Rs. 55.97 cr. 

For the last three fiscals, the company reported an average Eps of Rs. 2.11 and an average RoNW of 11.45%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 3.34 based on its NAV of Rs. 19.48 as of March 31, 2023, and at a P/BV of 2.06 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 31.54 per share. Surprisingly, the offer document is silent on its NAV as of September 30, 2023. 

If we annualize FY24 super earnings and attribute it to post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 20.83. Thus the IPO appears greedily priced. 

The company has posted PAT margins of 2.48% (FY21), 5.29% (FY22), 3.74% (FY23), 3.98% (H1-FY24). Thus it has reported inconsistency in its bottom margins. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends for any reported financial years. 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 VRL Logistics as their listed peer. It is trading at a P/E of 40.72 (as of December 08, 2023). However, they are not comparable on an apple-to-apple basis. This comparison appears to be an eyewash. 

MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 22nd mandate from First Overseas in the last three fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 1 listed at a discount, 1 at par and the rest listed at premiums ranging from 0.04% to 43.53% on the day of listing.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is engaged in providing transport services for the employees of the MNCs and other companies. It has posted inconsistency in its bottom lines for the reported periods and also bumper top lines from FY23 onwards. It is operating in fragmented segment. Based on FY24 earnings the issue appears greedily priced. There is no harm in skipping this pricey issue.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
