Krsnaa Diagnostics IPO: Assessment
- The diagnostic industry in India has been estimated to be between ₹710 billion and ₹730 billion in Fiscal 2021, clocking a CAGR of 13% to 14% between Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2020. The industry is expected to grow at ~15% between Fiscal 2021 – 23. and Fiscal 2023.
- PPP models in diagnostics have gained prominence due to govt’s focus on strengthening healthcare services led by various Government programs.
- The company is well positioned to capitalize on healthcare spending around public and private industries.
- While things are not bright n profitability front, company has a track record of improving top line. Its total revenue from operations for FY 2021, 2020 and 2019 was Rs 396.46 crore, Rs 258.43 crore and R 209.24 crore, respectively. Thus its revenue grew at a CAGR of 37.5% in this period.
- The cost of radiology tests provided by the company is 45% – 60% lower than market rates, while the cost of pathology tests provided by the company is 40% – 80% lower than market rates.
- The company generates ~60% of business from pathology and 40% from the radiology.
- The company derives substantial portion of revenue from the states of Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Karnataka. Revenue from the above states represented 74.21%, 65.74% and 70.42% of total revenue in FYs 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
- Turnover and profits for FY21 include one-time gain from fair value movement of CCPS (Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares) amounting to Rs. 252.78 cr. If we ignore it, then Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited has posted meagre profits or even losses on adjusted PAT basis making P/E comparison with peers meaningless. Thus, Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited seems priced steeply.
- • Future profits can also get impacted as there is limited scope to increase prices in PPP mode.
- Krsnaa Diagnostics IPO was last reported to be commanding a GMP of about Rs. 400
- Despite a good response from anchor investors and a disruptive model, Krsnaa Diagnostics IPO is not a clear cut case for me and I would apply on Day 3 after seeing QOB response. My apprehensions stem both from the fact that issue is expensive and a unstoppable rush for IPOs where quality of is likely to suffer. Also I may wait for some good or better options next week than the IPO currently open (other than Deviyani )
