    Barbeque Nation launched its IPO yesterday. As one of the leading Casual Dining Restaurants in India, the chain has over 147 outlets in 77 cities domestically and six outlets internationally.

    Although business was booming for the company from 2006 to 2013, large operational costs, the capital-intensive nature of business and the pandemic have acted as major downers for this famous restaurant chain that introduced the novelty offering of “over the table barbecue” for Indian customers a decade ago.

    Alchemy India, the investment firm run by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala has invested in Barbeque Nation in March 2018 at Rs.832 per share. That was the time when Barbeque Nation was a hot business. We hope once covid-19 effect subdues, we will again see valuation soaring.

    Total investment was ~50 Crores.

    Valuation of Barbeque Nation:

    1. Shares before IPO = 3,39,42,920
    2. Fresh Issue = 3600000
    3. Total Shares = 3,75,42,920
    4. IPO Price = 500
    5. Mcap = 1877 Crores
    6. Revenue = 850 Crores (FY20)
    7. Mcap/Revenue = 2.1x.

    The business of the company was growing at excellent rate till 2020, when covid-19 hit the restaurant industries. The revenue which was just 350 crores in FY15 reached to 850 Crores in FY20, shows the kind of growth company has made. The continuous expansion of hotels has put pressure on bottom-line. Once the capex on hotels will start delivering results, it will give very good returns.

    The IPO is backed by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. And recently, Jubiliant food has acquired shares at Rs. 252 per share. This gives lot of confidence in the company which was otherwise struggling due to covid-19.
