ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 10185000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 44.80 per share to mobilize Rs. 45.63 cr. The issue opens for subscription on October 11, 2023, and will close on October 19, 2023. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 7 for 10 to eligible stakeholders as of the record date of September 29, 2023. The full amount is to be paid along with the application for the number of shares applied. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE. MML is spending Rs. 0.55 cr. for this RI process and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 15.15 cr. for working capital, Rs. 6.29 cr. for repayment of loans, Rs. 19.35 cr. technology fee, Rs. 4.29 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

Kunvarji Finstock Pvt. Ltd. is the sole lead manager and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. 

Post-RI, MML's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 14.55 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 24.74 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs.110.81 cr.  

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, MML has posted a total income/net profit/ - (loss) of Rs. 67.25 cr. / Rs. Xx cr. (FY21), Rs. 60.46 cr. / Rs. - (3.12) cr. (FY22), and Rs. 37.00 cr. / Rs. - (6.89) cr. (FY23). Thus while its top line continued to decline, its earnings slipped in to red for the reported periods. 

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 listings of RI shares based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON NSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: MARSHALL (FV Rs. 10).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 59.40 on September 28, 2023, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 58.45 on September 29, 2023. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 59.00 / Rs. 54.05. The scrip last closed at Rs. 55.00 as of October 06, 2023. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 63.16 / Rs. 21.14. 

The promoters' holding has been at 52.01% as of June 30, 2023. The counter is well managed above the RI price to lure investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

MML is in the business of automated solutions for machine tools equipment. For the last three fiscals, it posted deteriorating performance on both top and bottom lines count. Considering the losses reported for the last two fiscals, the issue appears greedily priced. There is no harm in skipping this pricey RI.

Reviewer recommends Avoid to the issue.
