ISSUE DETAILS:
The company is coming out with a Rights Issue (RI) of 1509075 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 144 per share to mobilize Rs. 21.73 cr. The issue opens for subscription on February 26, 2024, and will close on March 04, 2024. The company is offering RI in the ratio of 1 for 8 to its eligible stakeholders as of the record date of February 17, 2024. The company is asking for Rs. 72 per share to be paid along with application for the number of shares applied, and the balance by one call as may be decided by the committee of the board. Post allotment, shares will be listed on BSE. The company is spending Rs. 0.25 cr. for this RI process and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 15.00 cr. for repayment/prepayment of certain borrowings, Rs. 2.23 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 4.25 cr. for general corporate purposes.

The issue is self-managed by the company and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. 

Post-RI, company's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 12.07 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.58 cr. Based on the RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 195.58 cr.  

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
On the financial performance front, for the last two fiscals, the company posted a total revenue/net profit of Rs. 258.86 cr. / Rs. 11.50 cr. (FY22), and Rs. 309.33 cr. / Rs.11.81 cr. (FY23). For H1 of current fiscals, it earned a net profit of Rs. 2.85 cr. on a total revenue of Rs. 156.00 cr. Thus its margin has posted degrowth for the last 18 months' period. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company has paid a token dividend of just 2% for the last three fiscals. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listings of RI shares based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 540078 (FV Rs. 10).
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 194.10 on February 15, 2024, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 187.85 on February 16, 2024. Since then, it has marked a high/low of Rs. 187.85 / Rs. 175.20. The scrip last closed at Rs. 177.45 as of February 23, 2024. For the last 52 weeks' it has posted a high/low of Rs. 222.16/ Rs. 132.49. 

The promoters' holding has been constant at 73.03% for the last three quarters ended with December 31, 2023. The counter is well managed above the RI price to lure investors. 


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The company is engaged in the packaging material production and marketing. It marked de-growth in its bottom lines for the past 18 months. No doubt, the interest cost saving may boost its bottom lines going forward, depressed margins and rising competition may dilute the benefits of interest cost saving. Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park moderate funds for the medium term rewards.
