Spandana IPO: Assessment
- Spandana Sphoorty Financial offers income generation loans under the joint liability group model, predominantly to rural women from low income strata.
- Spandana Sphoorty Financial was severely impacted due to the AP Microfinance Ordinance 2010, which enforced many restrictions on the operations of MFIs.
- Kedaara Capital Investment Managers Ltd took control of the company in 2017 through its special purpose vehicle, Kangchenjunga Ltd, (consortium of Kedaara Capital, George Soros, Quantum, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and US fund Maple Mountain Holdings) which helped the company successfully exit CDR post the 2010 AP MFI crisis
- Microfinance loans are unsecured and are susceptible to various operational, credit and political risks
- Spandana received good response from Anchor Investors. The offer was subscribed by 18 anchor investors which include names like Well Fargo Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance, Goldman Sachs India and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Edelweiss Alternative Investment Opportunities Trust, HSBC Global Investment Funds-Asia Ex Japan Equity Smaller Companies and Avendus Absolute Return Fund.
- Post-issue, the P/BV works out to be 2.4. Other than CreditAccess Grameen with P/BV at 3.02, the ratio of other MFIs is much lower, Satin Credit care (1.4), MFI cum Small Banks Ujjivan Financial Services (1.79), Equitas Holdings( 1.45)
- Post issue promoters shareholding will stand at 62 %.
- Spandana IPO looks promising considering its good growth in the past and a strong backing but the present market conditions, internal and external environment are a major deterrent.
- Spandana IPO is not seeing any demand in the grey market at present.
- I am not likely to apply for Spandana IPO. May put 1-2 applications if QIB response is quite good on Day 3 .
