Shriram Transport Finance Bond issue lists at premium

Comments Off on Shriram Transport Finance Bond issue lists at premium
Shriram Transport Finance Limited had come out with a bond issue for Rs 500 crs with an option to retain oversubscription of upto 500 crs, making it an issue for Rs 1,000 crs. The issue had a reservation of Rs 400 crs for retial investors who could apply for upto Rs 5 lacs each. The issue received excellent response and was oversubscribed on day one. Retail investors were allotted 138 bonds for 500 that they had applied for making the ratio as 27.6%. The issue in retail was subscribed 3.62 times.
The company had issued bonds in two maturity periods of 3 years and 5 years respectively. The coupon rates for retail were 11.35% and 11.6% respectively. For other categories the rates were lower and for the QIB category the rates were 11% and 11.10%. The bonds got off to brisk trading and the most active was the 5 year 11.6% bond which saw the price rise to Rs 1035 against the issue price of Rs 1000.
The bond has been a success and following the huge success which was received by the bond issue from State Bank of India and now this issue, there are many more issuers lined up. It is believed that gold finance companies Mannapuram and Muthoot are likely to come out with issues in the near future. There are talks that India Infoline and Shriram City Union are also having bond isues in the pipeline and a few PSU banks make follow the lead set by SBI and also raise money by way of bonds from the market.
It would be interesting to see at what coupon rates these issues come and also the tenure. There is a risk that with primary markets not doing well and retail investors getting “listing gains” on bonds as well, bad quality paper may get undue response which may make the market risky.

Business
Inventure Growth & Securities Limited is a financial intermediary offering a host of services under one roof. Services offered include comprehensive advisory services that are well diversified from trading services in equity cash and derivatives market, commodities and currency futures segment to financing activity, wealth management, and distribution of financial products. IGSL has direct interests in equity, debt and currency futures broking, depository activities, PMS and other activities like commodity broking, non-banking financial services, wealth management and sale of insurance products are provided through its subsidiaries.
The company has been able to withstand the tough competitive environment since the global economic downturn which was witnessed in 2009-10. The company did lose on profitability but was able to survive the onslaught of dropping business.
Objects of Issue
The objects of the issue are as follows: –
| 1. Investment in Subsidiary IFPL | Rs 3000 lacs |
| 2. Augmenting long term working capital requirement | Rs 2000 lacs |
| 3. General Corporate purposes | XX |
| 4. Public Issue Expenses | XX |
The bulk of the money is being raised for investment in the subsidiary which is a non-deposit taking NBFC registered with RBI. The proceeds would help this company take increased exposure.
Financials
The company reported gross revenues of Rs 28.36 crs in March 2009 which rose to Rs 46.27 crs in 2009-10 and fell to Rs 41.35 crs in 2010-11. The net profit on a consolidated basis after tax and minority interest was Rs 5.53 crs which increased dramatically to Rs 14.71 crs and fell equally sharply to Rs 6.21 crs.
| Rupees in lacs | year 2009 | year 2010 | year 2011 |
| Income from Operation | 2422.48 | 3925.5 | 3116.43 |
| Other Income | 413.42 | 701.21 | 1018.63 |
| Total Income | 2835.90 | 4626.71 | 4135.06 |
| Total Expenses | 2077.28 | 2593.55 | 3198.65 |
| Profit before tax | 758.62 | 2033.16 | 936.41 |
| Taxes | 207.91 | 563.78 | 317.52 |
| Net Profit After Tax | 550.71 | 1469.38 | 618.89 |
| Less Minority interest | -2.64 | -1.89 | -2.34 |
| Net Profit After Minority Interest | 553.35 | 1471.27 | 621.23 |
| NET MARGINS | 19.42 | 31.76 | 14.97 |
The income from operations has dropped significantly and the present broking scenario is not very conducive. There has been substantial downsizing in a large number of brokerage houses and there have been some of these which have shut shop completely in recent times. Cash market turnover on the NSE has dropped below the 10,000 cr mark on a daily basis which till a year ago used to average over 15,000 crs on a daily basis. This drop is significant and is a cause of worry going forward.
Comparisons
The company has chosen to compare itself with companies like Arihant Capital Market, Geojit BNP Paribas, Khandwala Securities and Emkay Global Financial Services Limited. IT has not compared itself with the industry leaders like MotilalOswal or Edelweiss. MotilalOswal had revenue of Rs 589 crs and a net profit of Rs 137 crs. The company has an earnings per share of Rs 9.52 for the year ended March 2011. Edelweiss has gross revenues of Rs 1491 crs and a net profit of Rs 246.92 crs, an EPS of Rs 3.28. When such large companies which have the wherewithal to withstand the present slowdown and are available at valuations which are less than a third demanded by IGSL, I believe one has little or no choice about this issue. Very clearly the fact that the merchant banker is making his debut with this issue it appears he has got his valuation all wrong. The price band recommended is atrocious and extremely aggressive. The company has also chosen not to have any road shows in Mumbai for its IPO which is yet another way of not wanting to face the media and analysts embarrassing questions about the pricing and valuation.
Conclusion
The broking industry is passing through very tough times and consolidation of the industry is yet to happen, even though the beginning has been made. When large players and market leaders are available at valuations which are around ten times the earnings the need to subscribe for a company which is struggling and does not have the size at valuations close to four times that of the leaders simply makes no sense. There is of course the standard practice that small and midsized IPO’s receive support from “friendly intermediaries” and this may also be witnessed in this issue. I still believe it does not make sense in applying for such issues at such steep valuations. If one believes that the industry is good and one should invest, I feel a better investment would be in the shares of MotilalOswal Financial Services Limited.
