Issue Sizing Considerations A correct IPO size has a favourable impact on quality of demand, achievable price and aftermarket performance Motivation for a Small Offering Requirement Motivation for a Large Offering Minimise Dilution Use of Proceeds < Expectation of better valuation in future, especially as operations and cashflows improve < Significant improvement to the balance sheet size < Funding requirements over the next 2 – 3 years Scarcity perception < Limit supply to achieve best pricing IPO Size Minimum Float < In a Book Built IPO, Institutional Investors prefer a minimum investment size < Regulations allow a minimum of 10% dilution, subject to adherence to certain conditions, chiefly min. 60% allocation to QIBs Liquidity < Optimising size for liquidity, which is an important consideration for most investors IPO Size Recommendation Net Public Offer Key Considerations < Large enough float to attract good quality institutional investors and have adequate liquidity < Meet additional investment requirements Potential Distribution Plan Key Considerations Minimum 60%* to Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) < In accordance with SEBI guidelines; 5% of the 60% reserved for domestic mutual funds 10%* to Corporate/ HNI and 30%* to Retail Investors < Significant enough retail distribution to enhance liquidity; but not so much as to affect immediate aftermarket adversely Net Public Offer: Total Issue Size less firm allotments and /or reservations * Assuming a dilution of less than 25%. If dilution is more than 25%, distribution plan shall be as follows: Up to 50% to QIBs, not less than 15% to HNI and not less than 35% to Retail Investors 17
Approach to Valuation of Company n n Valuation on an Enterprise Value basis or on a per share basis A unlisted company relies on its inherent cash flows or valuation of comparable companies to derive its valuation Pre-IPO, if considered, plays an important aspect in valuation – creates a benchmark and improves perception Valuation parameter is based on the valuation driver As a multiple of EPS As a multiple of operating profit As a multiple of Sales n Globally Accepted valuation parameter n Start-ups n Directly related to the profits, which is supposed to be distributed to the shareholders n Financial jugglery and capex below the operating profit levels distorts the P/E n Net profit and operating profit not the right parameters due to initial stages of business As a multiple of Book Value Net Asset Value/Replacement Value PEG n Banks n Real Estate, Shipping companies n Retail, Media and Entertainment, IT n Assets suggest true value of business n Fixed assets are the valuation driver n High growth companies EV/EBITDAR Sum of Parts As a multiple of operating asset n Airline companies n Diversified companies n Per tonne for Cement, steel etc n Lease value forms a significant portion n Synergy value may be an addition n Per square feet for retail Valuation are based on a one year forward earnings n Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) n n Future cash flow discounted by WACC (Weighted cost of capital with the proportion of Debt and Equity as weights) n Cost of Equity is Rf + Beta * Market premium IPO discounts built into the price to make the Issue attractive to investors 18
A Typical Allocation Plan in an IPO If issuer company meets eligibility norms and IPO dilution # 25% of post. IPO capital If issuer company does not meet eligibility norms and IPO dilution is 25% of post-IPO capital # IPO dilution is more than 10%, but less than 25% of post-IPO capital Notes: @ 5% of the issue in the QIB portion is available for allocation to Indian Mutual Funds on proportionate basis and balance is available to QIBs including Indian Mutual Funds on a proportionate basis. * SEBI Guidelines specify not less than specified level of allocation for respective category of investors. However, in case of under subscription in any category, spill over from any other category is allowed. # SEBI Guidelines specify not less than specified level of allocation for respective category of investors. However, in case of mandatory book built IPO, QIB allotment of 60% or 50%, as the case may be, is mandatory and under subscription in retail and non-institutional categories can be met by spill over from other categories. SEBI Guidelines require allotment of shares to be done on a proportionate basis in relation to available shares in the respective category, for all three categories of investors 19
