At that time, the lead manager of the IPO was Aryaman Financial Services Ltd. It has already migrated to the mainboard in April 2021. It is now coming for a RI, but it has given the mandate to Fedex Securities Pvt. Ltd. this RI.

ISSUE DETAILS:
To part finance its need for repayment of loans (Rs. 8.66 cr.), working capital (Rs. 19.10 cr.), and general corporate purposes (Rs. 7.96 cr.), TGIL is coming out with a rights issue (RI) of 3616560 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs. 100 per share to mobilize Rs. 36.17 cr. It is offering 9 shares for every 25 shares held by the stakeholders as of the record date of August 10, 2022. The full amount is to be paid on the application. The issue opens for subscription on August 22, 2022, and will close on September 05, 2022. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE. TGIL is spending Rs. 0.45 cr. for this RI process. 

This RI is solely lead managed by Fedex Securities Pvt. Ltd. and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue. 

TGIL's current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 10.05 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 13.66 cr. post-RI. Based on its RI pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 136.63 cr.

On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, TGIL has (on a consolidated basis) posted turnover/net profits of Rs.78.89 cr. / Rs. 2.39 cr. (FY20), Rs. 104.67 cr. / Rs. 2.35 cr. (FY21) and Rs. 177.91 cr. / Rs. 3.15 cr. (FY22). 

As per NSE filing, for Q1 of FY23 (unaudited), it has earned a net profit of Rs. 0.77 cr. on a turnover of Rs. 54.53 cr. Thus it has posted pressure on its margins for all these periods. 

DIVIDEND POLICY:
The company paid a dividend of 15% for FY20, 10% for FY21, and NIL for FY22. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post listing of RI, based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON NSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP Symbol: TEMBO:
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 135.60 on August 05, 2022, and opened on an ex-right basis at Rs. 119.90 on August 08, 2022. Since then it has marked a high/low of Rs. 139.15 / Rs. 118.00. The scrip last closed at Rs. 124.00 as of August 11, 2022. Based on this quote, its post-RI market cap stands at Rs. 169.42 cr.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Though the company’s top line is showing growth, its margins are under pressure. Both segments are highly competitive and fragmented. However, looking at its track record, risk seeker/cash surplus investors may park their funds with long-term perspectives.
