Womens Next Loungeries IPO Review (Avoid)

Review By Dilip Davda on March 24, 2014

Women's Next Loungeries Ltd. is engaged in women's innerwear segment that included designing; manufacturing, branding and marketing of lingerie wear, honeymoon set, intimate wear etc. Its products are marketed under the brand name of 'Valentine Pink' and 'Women's Next'. To meet upgradation cost of the existing unit, repayment of loans and meeting working capital requirement, the company is coming out with an issue of 1000000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 65 per share to mobilize Rs. 6.50 crore. Issue opens for subscription on 28.03.14 and will close on 07.04.14. Thus long duration for a tiny issue has surprised one and all. The issue is lead managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors Pvt Ltd. and Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. Minimum application is to be made for 2000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Post allotment, the shares will be listed on BSE SME.

On performance front, for the last two fiscals the company has posted a turnover / net profit of Rs. 22.36 crore/Rs. 0.42 crore (2011-12) and Rs. 32.23 crore/Rs.0.68 crore (2012-13). For the first six months ended on 30.09.13 it has earned net profit of Rs. 0.48 crore on a turnover of Rs. 19.40 crore with an EPS of Rs. 19.20 on an equity base of Rs. 0.50 crore by then on annualized basis which has gone up to Rs. 1.50 crore post bonus issue in the ratio of 2 for 1. Thus on enhanced equity post bonus, the revised EPS stands is at Rs. 6.40. But if we attribute these earnings on post IPO equity of Rs. 2.50 crore then EPS stands at Rs. 3.84. Thus asking price of the issue is at a P/E of 16+ and at a P/BV of 0.32.

On merchant banker's front, this is the second mandate from them and the first IPO of Si Vi Shipping is witnessing some operation with upward bias on a very thin volume since listing indicating some play of this market maker.

As peers are trading at higher P/E then this, the IPO looks attractive, but the entry barrier as minimum investment of Rs. 1.30 lakh per application and also for trading in the same lost post listing, only risk aver HNIs may dare to park their fund in this IPO. Retail investors should avoid.


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Avoid. As peers are trading at higher P/E then this, the IPO looks attractive, but the entry barrier as minimum investment of Rs. 1.30 lakh per application and also for trading in the same lost post listing, only risk aver HNIs may dare to park their fund in this IPO. Retail investors should avoid.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
