ABOUT COMPANY:

(VDL) is in the business of marketing and distributing a comprehensive portfolio of dental products including consumables, instruments, equipment, and accessories for diagnosing, treating and preventing dental conditions as well as improving the aesthetics of the human smile through its online portal "Dentalkart.com".
The same is operated through the company's website and mobile application "Dentalkart".

As of December 31, 2022, it had 184 employees on its payroll.
ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 4224000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each via book building combo offer to mobilize Rs. 54.07 cr. (at the upper cap of the price band). The issue comprises 3174000 fresh equity shares issue (Rs. 40.63 cr. at the upper cap) and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 1050000 equity shares (Rs. 13.44 cr. at the upper cap). It has announced a price band of Rs. 121 - Rs. 128 per share. The issue opens for subscription on May 23, 2023, and will close on May 25, 2023. The minimum application to be made is for 1000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 26.37% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company.
Excluding the Market Maker portion (216000 shares), VDL has allocated 50% (2002000 shares) for QIBs, 15% (602000 shares) for HNIs and 35% (1404000 shares) for Retail investors. From the net proceeds of the fresh equity issue, VDL will utilize Rs. 26.00 cr. for working capital, Rs. 3.00 cr. for enhancing the visibility of the brand, and the rest for general corporate purposes.
Hem Securities Ltd. is the sole lead manager and MAS Services Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. Hem Group's Hem Finlease Pvt. Ltd. is the market maker for the company.
Having issued initial equity shares at par value, the company issued further equity shares at a price of Rs.2374.62 per share in January and February 2023 and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 60 for 1 in March 2023. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters/selling stakeholders is Rs. 0.16 per share.
Post-IPO, VDL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 12.84 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 16.02 cr. At the upper price band of the IPO, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 205.01 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, VDL has posted a turnover/net profit of Rs. 30.45 cr. / Rs. 0.09 cr. (FY20), Rs. 40.18 cr. / Rs. 0.33 cr. (FY21), and Rs. 77.14 cr. / Rs. 5.41 cr. (FY22). For 9M of FY23 ended on December 31, 2022, it earned a net profit of Rs. 5.02 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 87.57 cr.
For the last three fiscals, VDL has reported an average EPS of Rs. 2.32 and an average RoNW of 68.98%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 14.15 based on its NAV of Rs. 9.04 as of December 31, 2022, and at a P/BV of 3.79 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 33.81 per share (at the upper cap).
If we annualize FY23 super earnings and attribute it to post-IPO fully diluted equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 30.62. Thus even with super earnings its IPO is aggressively priced discounting all near-term positives. The sustainability of such margins going forward remains a major concern.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends for the reported periods of the offer document. 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 Prevest Denpro as their listed peer. It is currently trading at a P/E of around 32.43 (as of May 19, 2023). However, they are not truly comparable on an apple-to-apple basis.
MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 24th mandate from Hem Securities in the last four fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, all got listed at premiums ranging from 1.82% to 166.67% on the listing date.
