Salient Points: Suraksha Diagnostic IPO

  •  Outlook for the diagnostic industry in India is positive, led by growing healthcare awareness and a higher disposable income.
  • Issue is purely OFS.
  • 56% of OFS comprises sale by PE OrbiMed, with their 33% holding dropping to 13%
  • Rest of the OFS is by 3 promoters & extended promoters.
  • Promoters and promoter group hold 61.07% stake pre-offer. Their post-IPO shareholding will drop to 48.78%.
  • They derived 53% of its revenue from pathology and 46% from radiology for FY24.
  • Suraksha’s FY24 revenue jumped by 15% YoY to Rs. 219 cr, . It clocked 33% EBITDA margin and net margin of 11%.
  • The company’s net debt to equity ratio stood at 0.20 x for FY2024.
  • Listed peers are better placed and much larger even as PE ratio may be comparable, they have higher revenues, margins & spreads. Dr Lal PathLabs traded at a P/E of 63, Metropolis Healthcare trades at P/E of 73, Vijaya Diagnostic trades at P/E of 88.
  • Ability of company to go beyond West Bengal has not been established. In past they shut some centres in NCR and more than 60% of revenues come from two district’s of WB.
  • I intend to skip Suraksha Diagnostic IPO. Pure OFS offers little comfort. Promoter stake will be below 50%. Valuation wrt. peers is not comforting even as  outlook for the diagnostic industry is positive. When PE investors make a exit many times they tend to extract full price as may be the case here.
