Rossari Biotech IPO: Assessment
Tightening of environmental norms for chemical industry in developed countries and subsequently in China have contributed to the growth of exports from India.
Rossari Biotech focus is on eco-friendly and sustainable chemicals for the entire value-chain of thetextile industry (except dyes).
Rossari Biotech has been increasing the share of products others than textile chemcals and has increased revenues from home, personal care and performance chemicals.
After the share sale, the total promoter shareholding will stand at 73% from current 95%.
Rossari Biotech raised about 100 crore from equity at a fixed price of Rs. 425 per share in February 2020 as part of a pre-IPO placement. This included allotment to some schemes of IIFL Special Opportunities Fund, Mirae Asset, Axis New opportunities AIF-I, ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited, Sundaram Mutual Fund, India Acorn Fund etc.
Rossari ad planned a IPO in March 2020, but postponed it due to downturn in markets on account of COVID 19.
Rossari’s growth in revenues, operating profit and net profit has been high in last three financial years . Its Ebitda margin expanded to 17.4% from 9.2% during this period.
In the RHP Rossari Biotech has shown Aarti Industries, Vinati Organics, Atul Ltd., Galaxy Surfactants and Fine Organics as its listed peers. The companies return ratios are comparable or better than its peers with good growth in last 3 years.
On the Post issue equity, P/E works out to be 33.81, which though not cheap but considering the current craze for chemical companies, there may be some scope for upside.
I intend to apply in Rossari Biotech IPO but chances of allotment are poor due to expected heavy oversubscription.
At present Rossari Biotech IPO is commanding a Kostak of Rs. 400-500 & Grey market Premium (GMP) of Rs. 100 plus. These are based on initial rates.
