Rationale To Om Freight Forwarders Ltd IPO

 Proven track record and diversified client base to strengthen competitive edge

The company combines a long-standing track record in logistics with robust operational standards, validated through ISO certifications in quality (ISO 9001:2015), environmental management (ISO 14001:2015), and occupational health & safety (ISO 45001:2018). The company’s strong customer relationships underpin revenue stability, with over 75% of FY25 revenues coming from repeat clients and several top customers having partnerships exceeding five years. At the same time, OFFL continues to expand its client base, adding 890 new customers in FY25 alone, demonstrating its ability to scale across industries and geographies. While a significant portion of its business comes from minerals, mining, and steel, the company is strategically targeting high-growth sectors such as FMCG, automotive, and oil & gas, offering tailored solutions to diversify its revenue streams. Together, these factors of operational excellence, sticky customer relationships, consistent client acquisition, and targeted sectoral diversification position OFFL to sustain growth and enhance its competitive standing in the logistics industry

Strategic infrastructure expansion and technology integration to drive operational
efficiency and margin growth

OFFL has established a robust in-house logistics infrastructure, underpinned by a diverse fleet of specialized equipment, including cranes, forklifts, trailers, payloaders, tippers, and vessels. As of March 31, 2025, a dedicated team of 134 skilled equipment operators ensures operational readiness, minimizing downtime and maximizing asset performance. The company’s vessel and earthmoving equipment fleets are strategically deployed to handle general cargo, dry bulk commodities, over-dimensional loads, and intra-warehouse transport efficiently, supporting a broad spectrum of client requirements. Technology is a key enabler of OFFL’s operations. The company has invested significantly in advanced logistics and supply chain solutions, including real-time vehicle tracking, end-to-end visibility, route optimisation, inventory management, and integrated client systems. These technological capabilities allow OFFL to enhance operational efficiency, maintain fiscal controls, optimise transit times, and reduce costs, thereby improving client service levels. The company has also developed in-house expertise in areas such as solution consulting, predictive analytics, and infrastructure management to support continued innovation. To strengthen its pan-India logistics network and capture growing demand, OFFL is setting up an additional large-format, multi-user warehouse in Bhiwandi, Maharashtra. Strategically located near the Mumbai Nashik Express Highway, the facility will expand storage capacity, reduce reliance on third-party warehousing, lower operational costs, enhance inventory control, and improve supply chain visibility. Integrated automation and data analytics will further optimise warehouse operations, enabling faster turnaround and higher utilisation rates, while providing scalable value-added services.

Valuation of Om Freight Forwarders Ltd IPO

OFFL serve as a trusted India-based agent, specialising in comprehensive import and export customs clearance services across all major air and seaports in the country. Backed by over four decades of operational and handling expertise, the company seamlessly combines in-depth customs knowledge with advanced information technology. Leveraging its extensive experience and established presence across India’s major ports, OFFL is well positioned to benefit from the expanding trade volumes, increased industrial activity, and growing demand for organised logistics services. OFFL’s ongoing investments in technology enable end-to-end visibility, faster decision-making, and cost optimisation. This technological edge positions the company to serve large clients in high-growth sectors such as FMCG, automotive, e-commerce, and oil & gas, which are increasingly seeking reliable, scalable, and technology-enabled logistics partners. The addition of strategically located, large-format multi-user warehouses, such as the upcoming Bhiwandi facility, allows OFFL to capitalise on the structural shift in India’s logistics sector post-GST, where companies are consolidating inventories into larger, more efficient facilities. By offering value-added services, automation, and proximity to key distribution hubs, OFFL can increase client stickiness, improve turnaround times, and expand volumes handled, directly contributing to revenue growth and margin expansion. On the financial front, the company delivered a tepid performance during FY20xx xx, growing revenue, EBITDA, and PAT at a CAGR of 2.0%, 6.4%, and-10.0%, respectively. EBITDA margin decreased from 7.1% in FY23 to 2.9% in FY24 before improving to 7.7% in FY25, while PAT margin declined from 5.8% in FY23 to 2.5% in FY24 and moderated to 4.5% in FY25. On the return front, the company reported modest ROCE and ROE of 13.7% and 12.7% in FY25, respectively, observing a decline from 20.0% and 19.5% in FY23. While OFFL has demonstrated strengths in integrated logistics, operational capabilities, and client relationships, its financial performance has been inconsistent, reflected in volatility in earnings and margins. Furthermore, near term geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties add risk to growth visibility. Additionally, ~80% of the issue comprises an Offer for Sale (OFS). In light of these factors, we remain largely cautious of the listing. We, thus, recommend an AVOID rating for the issue and will reassess our rating in future following sustained business performance in upcoming quarters
