Rainbow Children Medicare IPO: Assessment

  • Dominant market position in South India in the area of pediatric and obstetrics with the highest number of hospital beds amongst comparable players in the maternity and pediatric healthcare delivery sector.
  • The hub-and-spoke model followed by the hospital has enabled them to evolve from a single secondary care hospital in Hyderabad to now six hospitals in the city.
  • Rainbow Children Medicare is implementing a similar model in Bengaluru and plans to replicate it in Chennai as well as New Delhi.
  • Average revenue per operating bed (ARPOB) is almost comparable to Apollo and much higher than KIMS.
  • This may be attributed to Rainbow’s presence in quaternary and tertiary care.
  • Tertiary care, is a level above secondary health care, that has been defined as highly specialized medical care, usually provided over an extended period of time, that involves advanced and complex diagnostics, procedures and treatments performed by medical specialists in state-of-the-art facilities [
  • Quaternary care has been defined as an extension of tertiary care in reference to advanced levels of medicine which are highly specialised and not widely accessed, and usually only offered in a very limited number. uncommon diagnostic or surgical procedures are considered quaternary care.
  • In case of Rainbow Children Medicare, about 1/3rd beds are in ICU which leads to higher realization and operating margins.
  • The company has a robust track record of performance and has been generating positive cash flow. The Hospital chain has about 200 crore cash on its books and generates about the same every year.
  • Historically Rainbow Children Medicare has been growing at 20 percept rate and growth in last 2 years was muted due to Covid. it reported 30% EBITDA margins for last 9 months which are difficult to sustain, but management has guided for 25% plus margins.
  • From IPO proceeds, Rainbow Children Medicare is adding about 500 beds over the next 3 years. Each Bed approx. entails Rs. 60K investment.
  • Claims have built up a good reputation in its ability to handle complex pediatric tasks and has demonstrated the ability to conceptualize, create and operate specialized children’s hospitals.
  • Despite stretched valuations, Long-term prospects of the company appear good as it operates in a niche segment where margins are relatively better than general hospital chains.
  • The Rainbow Children Medicare IPO has been commanding about Rs. 30 grey market premium as per some reports.
  • I intend to apply in IPO. To what extent will depend on Day 3 QIB numbers.
  • The risk I perceive in Rainbow Children Medicare IPO stem from a steep valuation, possibility of a market melt down in general and after effects of large LIC IPO on the market.
