leading players in India and highest net profit margins of 8.1% as of FY21 among the key players in India.
Objects of the issue:
The IPO proceeds shall be used towards the following purposes
  • Expenditure for opening new stores of the company under the “Metro”, “Mochi”, “Walkaway” and “Crocs” brands (INR 2.25 Bn)
  • General corporate purposes (Bal INR 0.7 Bn)
Investment Rationale:

Asset light business model with efficient operations leading to sustainable profitable growth

Metro Brands is among the few footwear retailers in India that outsources all their product manufacturing, resulting in an asset light model. This is supported by extensive (about 250 vendors) long standing third party vendor relationship, wherein they manage their inventory and supply chain. The company follows a “pull model” for product availability at their stores where product placement is led by a demand driven inventory replenishment method. This ensures optimum capital utilization and minimum stale stock, there by reducing discounting of products and improvement in gross margins. When compared with the peers (like Bata India, Relaxo Footwear) Metro has witnessed highest operating margins and net margins. In FY21, Metro had a gross margin of 54.9%, EBITDA margin of 21.3% and a profit after tax of INR 647 mn. They also have been declaring and paying out dividends consistently since FY 2000. In FY21, their dividend payout was 61.6%.

Objects of the issue:
The IPO aims to utilize the net proceed for the following objectives;
  • Carry out the offer for sale of up to 10.06 Mn shares
  • Achieve benefits of listing the equity shares on the stock exchange
Investment Rationale:

Strong market position built around proprietary technology and network effect resulting in high entry barriers

Their innovations in the space of digital maps, geospatial and digital transformation specifically localized for a challenging geography such as India, has helped them build a moat and create what they believe is a strong barrier to entry for companies looking to operate in India. The Geospatial guidelines provide that all digital maps and geospatial data of finer accuracy will be stored and used within domestic territories – cloud, servers, and other forms. This also gives MapmyIndia a competitive edge to partner with global brands for providing navigation related services within India. They have earned their leading market position today in the B2B and B2B2C market for digital maps and location intelligence technologies by capitalizing on their early mover advantage, creating a
niche market, developing proprietary and integrated technologies, full stack product offerings, continuous innovation and robust sustainable business model. (Source: F&S Report)

Strong presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3+ locations

As of July 31, 2022, out of the total touch points covered by the company, 86.1% of touch points were located in tier 2 and tier 3+ towns and cities which contributed about 85.6% of the total revenues of the company. With the government’s financial inclusion programs like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and other direct benefit transfers in place, cash utilization and circulation is expected to grow further in tier 2 and tier 3+ towns and cities, leading to an increase in the demand for cash management services in these areas. Moreover, a higher preference for cash management services among retailers, NBFCs, restaurants, insurance companies, and railways, especially in lower-tier cities, is likely to fuel growth for the company’s business.

Valuation and Outlook:
Radiant Cash Management Services Ltd. is one of the largest players in the RCM segment in terms of network locations served in the industry. The company believes that increased financialization and formalization of theIndian economy will require a greater amount of cash to be processed and in circulation, benefitting the company in the long run. In addition, the company aims to shift its business mix towards providing more value-added services which will help to improve the margin profile. However, RCMSL is exposed to multiple operational risks and is subject to seasonal fluctuations in the end-user industries. On the upper end of the price band, the issue is valued at a P/E of 26.3x based on FY2022 earnings which we feel is on the steeper side compared to its peer
group (SIS Limited and CMS Info Systems). We, therefore, recommend an “AVOID” rating for the issue.
