Review By Dilip Davda on June 20, 2023
• VSL claims to be the only SCF technology player.
• It posted growth in its top lines with boosted profits for 10M-FY23.
• Based on its FY23 super earnings the issue appears greedily priced.
• VSL is asking for fancy premiums based on its financial performance, which discounts all near-term positives.
• Well-informed / risk seekers may consider parking funds; others can stay away.

ISSUE DETAILS/CAPITAL HISTORY:
The company is coming out with a maiden combo IPO of 5699200 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 82 per share to mobilize Rs. 46.73 cr. The issue consists of 2849600 fresh equity issues and 2849600 shares by Offer for Sale (OFS). The issue opens for subscription on June 22, 2023, and will close on June 26, 2023. The minimum application to be made is for 1600 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE SME. The issue constitutes 26.90% of the post-issue paid-up equity capital of the company. VSL is spending Rs. 0.53 cr. for this IPO process (fresh equity shares issue) and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 4.80 cr. for global sales and marketing expenses, Rs. 15.50 cr. for the development of new products and upgrading of existing products, and Rs. 2.54 cr. for general corporate purposes. Overall expenses for this IPO will be approx. Rs. 1.06 cr.
Shreni Shares Ltd. (erstwhile known as Shreni Shares Pvt. Ltd.) is the sole lead manager as well as the market maker for the company. Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue.
Having issued initial equity shares at par value, the company issued/converted further equity shares in the price range of Rs. 21246.50 - Rs. 116606 between November 2020 and January 2023. It has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 1170 for 1 in January 2023. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters/selling stakeholders is Rs. 0.0085 and Rs. 45.21 per share.
Post-IPO, VSL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 18.34 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 21.19 cr. Based on the IPO pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 173.74 cr.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, VSL has (on a standalone basis) posted a total income/net profit of Rs. 0.81 cr. / Rs. 0.14 cr. (FY21), and Rs. 6.19 cr. / Rs. 0.29 cr. (FY22). For 10M of FY23 ended on January 31, 2023, it earned a net profit of Rs. 3.30 cr. on a total income of Rs. 11.76 cr.
On a consolidated basis, for the last two fiscals, VSL has reported a total income/net profit of Rs. 6.55 cr. / Rs. 0.70 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 12.62 cr. / Rs. 3.50 cr. (10M-FY23). Thus on a standalone as well as on a consolidated basis, it posted a jump in its top line but boosted its bottom line for 10M-FY23 raising eyebrows and concern over sustainability.
As the company has just one full year working i.e. for FY22, it has posted an EPS of 0.48 and a RoNW of 7.57% (on a consolidated basis) and Rs. 0.17 and 6.76% (on a standalone basis).
The issue is priced at a P/BV of 3.50 based on its NAV of Rs. 23.41 and at a P/BV of 2.64 based on its post-IPO NAV of Rs. 31.04 (on a consolidated basis).
If we annualize FY23 earnings and attribute it to post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 41.41. While on the basis of FY22 earnings P/E comes to 248.48. Thus the issue appears greedily priced and discounts all near-term positives. However, it's confining to servicing the MSME segment that holds the key.
DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has not declared any dividends since incorporation. 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 no listed peers to compare with.
MERCHANT BANKER'S TRACK RECORD:
This is the 17th mandate from Shreni Shares in the last three fiscals (including the ongoing one). Out of the last 10 listings, 1 opened at a discount and the rest listed at premiums ranging from 4.29% to 101.18% on the listing date.
