Review By Dilip Davda on September 7, 2022
• TFPL is a food processor with a variety of products in its basket.
• Its financial performance is just average with thin margins.
• Based on FY22 earnings, the issue is exorbitantly priced.
• There is no harm in skipping this pricy issue.
ABOUT COMPANY:
Tapi Fruit Processing Ltd. (TFPL) is a food processor and has products like Candied Fruit, Fruit Jellies, Chutneys & Sauces, Beverages, Nutraceuticals, and others. While children are the target audience for Candied Fruit and Jellies, other products are meant for all consumer segments.
The company sells its products under the brand name "TAPI". "MumMum" and "Boleto".
During the Financial Year ended March 31, 2022, it distributed products across 28 states and Union Territories in India, through its widespread network of 60 super-stockist. It also exported products, through a network of 5 merchant exporters, under its brand as well as under third-party private labels during the Financial Year ended March 31, 2022. As of July 26, 2022, the Company had 81 permanent employees on its payroll.
Though the company is from Surat, "Tapi" included in its name does not pertain to the river Tapi but denotes Towards Agro Products Innovations. Hence investors should not get carried away by such fancy names.
ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
To part finance its need for repayment/prepayment of certain borrowings (Rs. 1.35 cr.), working capital (Rs. 1.96 cr.), and general corporate purposes (Rs. 1.15 cr.), TFPL is coming out with a maiden IPO of 1086000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 48 per share to mobilize Rs. 5.21 cr. The issue opens for subscription on September 12, 2022, and will close on September 14, 2022. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 27.75% of the post-issue paid-up capital of the company. TFPL is spending Rs. 0.75 cr. for this IPO process. Higher spending indicates a fully structured arrangement for the IPO funding.
The issue is solely lead managed by Fedex Securities Pvt. Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Pure Broking Pvt. Ltd. is the market maker for this company.
Having issued initial equity shares at par, the company converted further equity shares at a fixed price of Rs. 48 per share in June 2022. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 277 shares for every 100 shares held in June 2022. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 8.56 and Rs. 9.92 per share.
Post-IPO, TFPL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 2.83 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 3.91 cr. Based on the IPO pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 18.79 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, TFPL has posted turnover/net profits-(loss) of Rs. 11.46 cr. / Rs. - (0.01) cr. (FY20), Rs. 13.13 cr. / Rs. 0.10 cr. (FY21) and Rs. 15.22 cr. / Rs. 0.16 cr. (FY22).
For the last three fiscals, TFPL has reported an average EPS of Rs. 1.17 and an average RoNW of 29.53%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 10.53 based on its NAV of Rs. 4.56 as of March 31, 2022, and at a P/BV of 1.73 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 27.82 per share.
If we attribute FY22 earnings on post IPO fully diluted equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 120, making it an exorbitantly priced IPO.
COMPARISON WITH LISTED PEERS:
As per offer documents, TFPL has no listed peers to compare with.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not paid/declared any dividend since its inception. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post-listing based on its financial performance and future prospects.
MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 11th mandate from Fedex Securities in the last three fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 3 opened at par and the rest with premiums ranging from 0.08% to 1.93%. Thus it has an average track record.
